Such heating is especially advisable in the winter time when nuts are like- ly to be stale. e¢ & & Garnishes.—Thin slices of lemons, oranges, limes or grapefruit, sprinkled with sugar and broiled make effective and tasty garnishes for roasts or fowls. Red or green jelly, dotted on top of the slices, gives added color and flavor. & New Flannels.—It is an excellent plan before washing new flannels to soak them for a quarter of an hour in cold water with a good handful of salt. Then wash them in the ordinary way. This makes washing much easier and the articles look beautiful when dry. If new colored goods are allowed to stand in salt water and rinsed in the same water, there is no chance of the color running. Range of Family Owing to the variety of ways in which people live, the United States census bureau, for census purposes, is obliged to place a wide meaning on some of its terms. A ‘“‘family,”’ or those who constitute a household, ranges from a man living alone in a tent to a thousand inmates living together in an institution.

A shade of pink was called pompadour pink. Even a fish has been named the pompadour, not because it wears its scales straight back or carries a stick but because it is that same shade of passionate pink that flashed across Louis’ court when he had a date. The Marquise de Pompadour’s given name—the name she was known by until she made good with the king—was Jean Poisson. Poisson is French for fish, so naming a fish pompadour was merely returning the compliment. * * s Teddy Bear aces coy, mild teddy bear, the idol of all small children, was named after the brusque, forceful Theodore Roosevelt, as a result of a bear hunt down in Mississippi during November, 1902. For 10 days ‘‘Teddy’’ and his companions searched in vain for big game. One morning the cry of ‘“‘Bear!’? was raised and the President hurried out of his tent to discover a small, frightened cub which had been dragged into camp for him to shoot. “Take him away!’’ snorted Teddy contemptuously. ‘If I shot that little fellow I would be ashamed to look into the faces of my children.”’ When Clifford K.

When we Americans who are older by a few generations go out to meet them we take, as the supreme example of what we mean by our great experiment, the life of Abraham Lincoln. And, when we are ourselves tempted in the mad complexity of our material civilization to disregard the pristine ideals of the republic, we see his gaunt figure standing before us and his outstretched arm pointing to the straighter and simpler path of righteousness.
