PRESENTS YOU CAN MAKE

You can make the most lovely birthday presents with a few sticks of colored s a ‘rag-wax and some jar and l; tie pots of fancy shape.

Wash these thoroughly and dry them well. Now take two or three colors of wax which will blend well, say red ad yel ow. black and y ow. gran and mauve, fancy, and, having hsfttl thcm. drop little ‘blobs’ of wax al‘. over the jar. mixing the colors as much as

posible.

Having covered the jar in this way, heal; it over the gas or in front of the fire, turning it s1 wly all the time, until the uax melts again and runs :1 noothiy all over, so that the colors mix and blend together.

e completed jar will now look ls if it is made of the most won- derfully colored marble-an orna- ment which Mother .or Auntie will be delighted to receive on their birthday morning, Daddy. too. will be pleased if you dc, a small jar for him and fill it with matches for his desk or smoking-table.

METHODS SUGGESTED FOB. PLACING INSULATION

Non-burning or slow-burning in- sulation materials may be used in several ways. In existing frame houses small pellets may be blown into the spaces between thn, studs. In new frame housm the insulation may be p‘nced between the studs in the form of bats, or the loose "wool" may be placed by hand.

In masonry buildings where no flirting is used, comk boards may be cemented to the inside of the walls.

CHILDREN'S COLORS

In the decoration of children's rooms it is well to remember that only the strong intense colors make an impression on minds not ready to receive the subtler aduations of color. Green tri ‘h red or blue with orange, are pleasinz to_a__child. .

At the very foot of the little coral cliff lay the tumbled broken body of a woman. He needed to go no nearer to realize that if Judy For- tier had embarked upon the great- est of all adventures, her younger sister wm now following close upon her heels. Rallying from the shork, he advanced cautiously, playing his light with great care over that crumpled figure so grimly stained here and there with blood.

Patricia was lying on her back and wearing a dark flannel wrap- per over the reverly simple line of a nightgown stretched tight over her graceful, but now quite motion- less. breast. Death, Roger Allenby had beheld counties times in vary- ing uses yet, unlike most men following professions which frequ- ently confont them with corpses, he felt as awed as he had when, long years ago, the first of many poilus

ad died at his side.

He bent, but took good care not to disturb the body's immediate environs and slmvly in a pitiless white glare revealed the grisly fig-- ure from head to foot.

“What the?--" His gaze had taken in a curious objlect appar- ently attached to the apel of the dead girl's dressing gown, and with mounting interest he saw that the object consisted of three feathers loosel secured by a piece of twine and ended by a long and very

sharp needle.

A footfall sounded on the gravel, then Barbara Graf- ton appeared, light hair streaming loose over her shoulders and her body, very erect in an expensive quil ed dressing gown, bespoke ten- slon in its every line.

"Oh, it's you. Major." she called in an anxious tone. “What's wrong? What Ls Trumps growling at?"

Allenby said. “I wouldn't go into the rock garden, Mrs. Grafton. Really. There's been an accident.

An accident? What do you mean?"

“I-Iadn’ we better do it the other way around?" Barbara demanded, a bit round-eyed.

Roger Allenby shrugged. “Couldn't say, but I wouldn't worry, Mrs. Grafton. Poor Miss Fortier is the victim of an accident, nothing

more."

“How ghastly this will be for her poor mother. First Judy, and now Patricia," Barbara Grafton mur- mured, but her voice was ciispas- sionatc, devoid of dizccrniblc emo- tion.

“How did you happen to come out?" he demanded casually.
