* McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1937 Home Heating Ilintc By John Barclay nIII 15 Hmmtimg Expert Building Furnace Fire Is Easy Operation When Ton Follow Few Simple Rules IT’S really no trick to build a * good furnace fire quickly and easily. Leave a layer of ashes about two inches deep spread on the grates. Spread about two inches of coal over this layer of ashes. Over the coal, place a generous amount of kindling—newspapers and light, dry wood. The turn damper in the smoke pipe and the ashpit damper should be open wide. If the ashpit damper on your furnace is in back, open it and also the ashpit door in front. This assures maximum draft and quick ignition. When the kindling is burning well, add fresh coal gradually. In this way you get a deep fire in little time—the kindling burning the coal beneath it, and the fire, in turn, igniting the coal above it. From time to time, add additional fuel until you have a solid, deep fire. When this is done, check your dampers and close the ash* pit door. Should the kindling while ignit ing smoke a bit through the fur nace door crevices, it is due to the chimney being cold and not providing enough draft to carry off the smoke. This is easily overcome by wadding a bit of newspaper, lighting it, and in serting it into the check damper. This heats the air, creating a draft in the flue pipe and chimney and carries the smoke away. Constipated? What a difference good bowel habits can make!

Glove-and-Bag Ensemble Is Latest By CHERIE NICHOLAS I QOK to your ^ accessories! This is a season when the acces sory theme reigns uppermost in the minds of design ers. Fashion de mands accessory items that not only tune to a nicety to your costume but they must radiate glamor and be as elegant “as thy purse can buy." So all-important, so outstanding has this idea of smart accessories become in the scheme of things, ’twould almost seem as if the clothes we wear were made to serve mere ly as a background to show off the swank, the splendor and romance of the added accents in way of jewelry, gloves, handbags and belts, head- wear, neckwear, footwear and even the very “hankies” we carry or proudly display in capricious little pockets that may not be so utilitar ian as they are decorative. Especially do handbags reflect this trend of the mode to indulge in elegance and glamor. Leathers are softer, trimmings are more startling and to add to the fuss and furor now raging in behalf of ac- ‘cessories, designers have worked to achieve matching ensembles of bag and gloves which make it simple for the woman of impeccable taste to dress up to her standard. The illustration shows a trio of perfectly stunning ensembles by David Lewis, American designer, noted for his leather artistry. Here gloves and handbags are matched in a manner so striking the entire costume takes on an air so smart there is none smarter. Black with gold accents is the fa vorite language of fashion these times. It’s gold and glamor that makes its way into the styling of the handsome and distinctive dressy afternoon and cocktail set to the right below in the picture. For this ensemble the softest of black ante lope is used in a frameless skirt- type bag with black bengaline to line it. Gussets of gold kid are set in with inverted pleats both front and back. The soft handles have the “feel” of luxury and the slide- fastener closing adds the practical note. The matching black antelope slip-on gloves are hand-stitched and have gold details, but the back of the glove is devoid of any knuckle stitching which cites an important trend this season. Tiny perforations are one of the newest style notes in leather. You will undoubtedly see bag-and-glove sets as pictured to the left above at the smartest places. Black per forated antelope soft as a kitten’s ear is used for this ensemble—the air-conditioned idea carried out even to one’s accessories. The bag is beautifully lined with slipper sat in. The short pull-on gloves to match are handstitched and have a corded binding at the wrist but no stitching on the backs. One of the loveliest of the Lewis tailored bags (see pictured to right above) is simple and squarish in shape, with white cross-stitched whipped edges. The handles are set on the bag with tiny cross stitches, which is the only trim. A slide-fastener gives a wide opening for convenience. This bag comes in grand fall accessory colors and is made of antelope, lined with ben galine. Short pull-on gloves with matching cross stitches around the fingers and the entire glove make this set a striking example of how American designers are keyed to create what the American women want and will wear. Such lovely accessories thrill us with the knowl edge that we are correct even to the fingertips. © Western Newspaper Vhlon. KNIT THIS SUIT By CHERIE NICHOLAS A two-piece suit that looks like a three-piece one, such is this smart outfit of lustre knitting yam. It is knitted in a waffle pattern in a man ner that makes it firm and reliable in wearing. The wide lapels and jabot are knitted separately and then sewn to the jacket. A smart cut away line makes the jacket take on a trimly tailored and up-to-the mo ment style. LAME HEADS LIST OF PARIS FABRICS Lame heads the list of important fabrics in the Paris couturiers’ win ter collections, for fabric designers have adapted the metallic material for broader use than ever before. Lame is no longer simply lame. There are flower print lames in col ors; simple heavy gold and silver cloths draped into enchanting eve ning gowns, iridescent materials with glowing silky stripes; “gold dust” lames; plaid and checkered metallic fabrics and lame moires. Velvet in all its forms from the sheerest of chiffon velvet through Lyons and even corduroy are dis tinctive and feature in costumes for wear at every hour of the day. Cut velvets backed with colors or met al tones provide luxurious evening fabrics. Four-Way Costume Is Back in New Wool and Velveteen The four-way costume returns this fall with added popularity in a new plaid wool and velveteen version that is especially appropriate for college or general school wear. There is a two-piece plaid dress of the shirtwaist type that comes in black, brown, wine or green, with a boxy swagger velveteen jacket and skirt with front panel of the predominant color of the plaid. The velveteen jacket is practical in that it may be worn with other dresses and skirts. Sequins for Glitter Glittering sequins embroidery trims hundreds of new fall frocks. Among the motifs which brighten sober dresses are stained glass win dow patterns, fireworks designs and Louis XV bowknots. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for November 7 CHRISTIAN CHARACTER AND PEACE LESSON TEXT—Colossians 3:1-17. GOJJDEN TEXT—And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called In one body.—Colossians 3:15. PRIMARY TOPIC—In His Name. JUNIOR TOPIC—In His Name. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— How May I Have Peace? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Christian Cure for Strife. Armistice day is but a few days away, a fact which was probably in mind when the title of our lesson was chosen, for while it speaks of “Christian character” it also refers to “peace.” But the peace spoken of here is the peace of God which is the result of peace with God and which issues in holy living. The only hope of this world for a real and lasting peace is in the winning of men and women to glad alle giance to the Prince of Peace, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Altogether proper is the close con nection in Scripture between the most profound spiritual truth and practical holy living. Whether it be done in a land of enlightenment or in the midst of heathen darkness the teaching of the deep things of God brings forth in the receptive heart an appreciation of God’s provision for our redemption, a consciousness and hatred of sin and an appropria tion of victory in Christ. All three of these factors emerge in the study of our lesson. I. “Seek Those Things Which Are Above” (w. 1-4). Faith in Christ makes us one with him in his death and in his resur rection. We are therefore to live in resurrection power. Our Lord has entered into heaven, and is there seated at God’s right hand. If we are in him, if we have died and arisen with him, we are dead to the things of this world and our one desire is to “seek those things which are above.” The mystic union of the believer with Christ brings us so close to God our Father that we may say with the poet: "Near, so very near to God, Nearer I could not be. For in the person of His Son I am as near as He." We are “hid with Christ in God.” He is our very life. Note however that this union with Christ ex presses itself in a most practical manner for we as Christians are admonished to II. “Mortify Your Members . . . upon the Earth” (w. 5-9). The most spiritual Christian is the one who is most sensitive to sin and most earnest in his purpose that it should be mortified—which means “put to death.” We may not temporize—we must not com promise with sin. Put it to death. The list of things which are to be put away include a number of sins which we recognize at once as ut terly inconsistent with a Christian profession. But note also that there are a number of them which are all too common among Christian peo ple — covetousness, anger, wrath, malice, and so forth. Lying and shameful talk are condoned by some (and practiced by many). III. “Put On the New Man” (w. 11-17). Christianity is positive. We put off sin—we put on righteousness. Knowing no lines of racial or creed- al distinction we recognize Christ as “all and in all.” Then as “God’s elect, holy and beloved,” we are clothed with the Spirit of Christ. Tenderhearted, kind, lowly, meek, of a forgiving spirit, long-suffering; all these Christlike ways of living should appear in those who are hid with him in God. As the encircling band which holds together these beautiful and precious virtues, we have love, “the bond of perfectness” (v. 14). These outward manifestations of our oneness with Christ have an in ward controlling power—for in our hearts “the peace of Christ” is to “rule.” The word means to serve as “umpire,” as a referee in times of difficulty. There in the Christian man’s inmost being we also find the “word of Christ” dwelling, really abiding, and not in scarcity but “richly.” Small wonder that there is in such a heart a never-ending song which glorifies God’s grace and which helps and admonishes others. Our final verse sums up the life of the Christian, for in whatsoever he does there is but one motive, one purpose—a willing thankful re sponse to the will of God. He does nothing that he cannot do in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Thought of God The thought of the Divine excel lence and beauty, how far it is ex alted above us and yet how sweetly it shines upon us. Result of Experience Experience is a grindstone; and it is lucky for us if we can get brightened by it, and not ground.— W. H. Shaw. . Victory Victory belongs to the most per severing.—Napoleon. OP?. SEW Ruth Wyeth Spears There May Be Many Reasons for Making Quilted Chair Pads. TF ALL the reasons for quilted * chair pads were lined up in or der of their importance the most intangible reason of all might head the list. Yes, it is quite likely that any decorator, amateur or professional would place atmos phere at the top. But then it is also possible that first rating might be given to the reason that the pressure of slats across the backs of chairs is softened by quilted pads. Then, though it might not be mentioned, it is a known fact that worn out cane seats are sometimes replaced with inexpensive composition seats which may be disguised by gay quilted pads. Chintz, calico or gingham chair pads are in fact one of the sim plest and most inexpensive ways of adding color and charm as well as comfort to a room. Such pads are often used on the backs of chairs and not on the seats, and especially for side chairs, the seat pads used without any back cov ering. In making such small things as these it is quite easy to do the quilting on the machine. INTEREST TO I MAW HOUSEWIFE 1 When to Add Salt.—Salt will curdle new milk. In preparing porridge, gravies, etc., salt should not be added until the dish is pre pared. • • • Or, if you wish to take the other point of view about it, the work of quilting them by hand would not consume an unreasonable amount of time. There is no doubt that handwork has a certain quaint ness that machine work lacks. The pads shown here are made with one layer of sheet wadding between the two layers of the chintz. The edge bindings and ties are made of bias tape. Cut the three layers of the pad material exactly the size and shape you want them to be when finished. Place the sheet wadding between the two layers of covering mate rial as shown here at A. Either pin or baste in this position, and then quilt as shown here at B. Make the ties by stitching the lengthwise edges of the bias tape together, and then tack them to the corners of the pad as at C be fore it is bound. Now, bind the edges, sewing the ties right in with the binding as shown here at D. Every Homemaker should have a copy of Mrs. Spears’ new book, SEWING.

For Tight-Fitting Lid.—To re move a tight-fitting lid from a cof fee can, wrap a light wire around the can below the lid, insert a stick and twist it up tight. • • • Save Stale Bread Crumbs.— Bread that has become hard and stale can be ground into crumbs, browned in the oven, and used for improving the flavor and appear ance of many dishes. Store in an airtight tin. * • • Filling for Tea Biscuits.—Sar dines mixed with salad dressing and a few drops of lemon juice make excellent filling for tiny tea biscuits. • r • Keeping Boards From Warping. —Warping of long boards cam be prevented to a considerable ex tent by standing them on end or on one edge so both sides are equally exposed to the weather. enclosing 25 cents, to Mrs. Spears, 210 South Desplaines St., Chicago, Illinois. Friendly Talk OUT after all, the very best -I-* thing in good talk and the thing that helps it most is friend ship. How it dissolves the bar riers that divide us, and loosens all constraint—this feeling that we understand and trust each other, and wish each other heartily well! Everything into which it really comes is good. It transforms letter-writing from a task into a pleasure. It makes music a thou sand times more sweet. The peo ple who play and sing not at us, but to us—how delightful it is to listen to them. Yes, there is a talk- ability that can express itself even without words.—Van Dyke. Cooking Doughnuts.—Doughnuts will crack and brown before they are thoroughly cooked inside if they contain too much flour or if the fat in which they are fried is not hot enough. • • • Towel Holders. — Either a spring-type clothespin, or the pa per clamp from a loose-leaf note book, properly nailed to the wall makes a satisfactory towel hanger for the basement. • * • Tomato Marmalade.—Half cup vinegar, one cup sugar, one quart chopped tomatoes, one teaspoon mixed spices, one teaspoon salt, spices. Cook together until thor oughly dissolved. Pour into shal low pan and cook in slow oven for one and a quarter hours. Turn into sterilized jars and cover with paraffin while hot.
