« Woman's World -^^.^y^ 8y MAIR M. MORGAN 1-/^' -J "A Woman'* Place It In th« Home." Good Form On the Court Sreast of Lamb ia Inexpensive But Good. If you ard in the habit o( using only lamb cliops and leg of lamb you are Hissing some eoonoraical and delicious laeala featuring such inexpensive cuts IS the breast and shoulder of lamb. Breast of Lamb. Two and oiie-Ualf pounds breast of lamb, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 small onion, t medium sized parsnips, 1% cups cooked pea.s, 2 cups milk, 2 table- ipoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour. Separate lamb into pieces for serv- ing and put into a casserole with boil- ing water to cover. Season with salt and onion, peeled but not cut. Cover and cook in a moder.ite oven for 45 minutes. Add parsnips which have been scraped and cook 45 minutes longer. Drain from broth and ar-' range on a hot platter, putting meat In the centre and making a border of parsnips. Melt butter in sauce pan, Btlr In flour and when bubbling slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Bring to the boiling point and add peas. Pour over lamb and parsnips and serve. Roast Shoulder of Lamb One shoulder of lamb, 1 quart can tomatoes, 1 pound bunch young on- ions, 1 sweet green pepper, 1 cup hot water, 2 bouillion cubes, 2 cups elbow macaroni, ^i cup grated cheese^ salt, paprika. Put meat on rack of roaster and roast In hot oven for 20 minutes. Then reduce heat and poui- over to- matoes which have been rubbed through a sieve and combined with onions cut in slices, pepper seeded and shredded and bouillion cubes dis- solved in hot water. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and Vs teaspoon pepper and baste the lamb frequently with tomato sauce while roasting two hours. In the meantime cook maca- roni in boiling salted water until ten- der. Drain. Place meat on 'a hot platter and pour over tomato sauce. Surround with cooked macaroni sprin- kled with grated cheese. Put under broiler flame long enough to melt cheese. Add a dash of paprika over the macaroni for color and sei-ve. Beefstake Universal Favorite. Beefsteak is the one food that is known the world-round. Say the Eng- lish word and waiters in China, Japan, Germany, France and even Russia will know what you mean and bring you their idea of it. Filet miguon is the de lu.xe edition of this universal dish. When you serve it at home, take time out to make it a food at for a king! One glamorous way of fixing mig- uon is to serve it on sauted circles of pineapple, garnished with dices of sauted green peppers. Have your butcher cut your filet mignon from one and a half inches to two inches thick. If you can't go de luxe on It, it is 'better to serve some- thing else. Steak should be thick! It comes in slices, and when cut thick, one is enough for a serving. To prepare the setting tor your steak, put one tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and slowly saute one large diced green pepper, or two small ones. Remove pepper dices, when they are sauted, to a brown paper and place in your warming oven, which should be kept hot. Then put another table- spoon of butter into the saucepan, and carefully saute your slices of pineapple with the juice drained off. Brcwn lightly on both sides. While this is being done, of course, your steak should be broiling. The secret of broiling steak just right is to have your oven piping hot when you put the steak in. Light the oven at least 15 minutes before you want to cook your steak. This heat helps to sear your .steak quickly, which keeps the juices n and make.s it tender. Slow heat spoils the best steak. When all is ready have your plat- ter piping hot, place thj pineapple circles carefully and top each with a piece of steak. It Is necessary to use » dash «( cayenne pepper over th« steak, to add zest to the combin.ition that the steak makes with the pine- apple. Place the diced pepper around tbe plneii>pl". «>» r garnish. Wardrobe Secrets. A friend of mine, who is very much in demand at all types of parties, has always amazed me by the well-turned outlook she always has. Yet she is one of the busiest people I know. I questioned her the other day, and her tips of how to keep a small wardrobe fresh and ready for any demand are really worthwhile passing on: Joan says she takes oft business clothes, as well as shoes, on reaching home, puts shoes on trees, and hangs up clothes, leaving them to be well-- bru.shed in the morning. On my quer- ying this, she remarked that any mud- spots removed when dry do not stain the material. Once a week she spends a little time over her day-wear, sponging, pressing, and where necessary clean- ing with a flannel rag and benzine. Every garment h?.3 a hanger, even blouses. Her jumpers, however, are kept in a drawer with a roll of tissue paper twisted inside the top. A stocking box with compartments is for separating best, second best and very-much-mended stockings. In each compartment also is the silk or skein of mending material to match. Gloves are kept in linen sachets which she makes and tissue paper goes between best pairs. A scent sach- et is sewn In the packet, delicately- perfuming the gloves. She has in- vested In glove trees, as with washing gloves this expenditure is well repaid in time. Instead of sending gloves to the cleaners she now buys washing kinds and does them at home. For her delicate dresses Joan has a big cretonne sheet, and this is wrap- ped around the hangers which hold those most likely to be soiled 11 touch- ed by darker clothes. A scent sachet is attached to each hanger, and this again gives just that faint suggestion of perfume which I noticed clinging about Joan's clothes. Joan also has a box where name- tapes, cotton, elastic, different kinds of buttons, a strong needle and thread for sewing are kept. No wonder she always looks neat. Kitchen Kinks. A lump of sugar added to cold tea used for cleaning black walnut or oak furniture will imparl a rich and last- ing gloss to the wood. When frying fish, use clarified drip- ping or salad oil. Lard smells, and butter fries a bad color. For refreshing bath: Make a bag of cheese cloth or butter muslin. Put into it a handful of wheat bran, a shred of soap, and an ounce of powd- ered or bruised orris root. Use this bag as you would a sponge. It cleanses, soothes and perfumes. Instead of scrubbing hearth tiles, rub them with floor or furniture polish. They will look much cleaner and take on a splendid polish. Save tobacco ash and use for clean- ing silver or silver plate. Apply with a damp cloth, and finish with a soft, dry one. White turnip, well grated and mix- ed with a little mustard and vinegar, is an excellent substitute for horse- radish. The best and quickest way to clean badly stained medicine bottles is to pui in a teaspoontul of vinegar then a few grains of rice, and shake well. When rinsed, the bottle will be quite clean.

Jesus Sets New Standard of Living â€" Mark 10: 13- 27. Golden Text â€" As ye would that men should do to you, do ya also to them likewise. â€" Luke 6. 31. ANALYSIS. I. THE HEART OF A. CHILD, Mark 10: 13-16. II. The Great Choice, Mark 10: 17-22. III. The Wealthy Christian-, Mark 10: 23-27. IntrodTiction â€" Following the teach- ing of last day's lesson, J^^sus empha- sized the strenuous demands of his religion, Mark 9: 44-50. The revo- lutionary character of his teaching is brought out in his argument with the Pharisees, Mark 10, 1-12. The ideal marriage is a permanent b nd. Jesus places the two sexes on an equal foot- ing, a hitherto unheard-of thing in the East. I. THE HEART OF A CHILD, Mark 10: 13-16. He then goes on to set up new stan- dards for admission into the Chris- tian fellowship. The blessing of the children shows the young man of thirty cuddling little babies "in the crook of his arm" (the literal mean- ing of "in his arms"). It is a gracious picture. Mothers have him "touch" tiiemâ€" or have them touch him. Ital- ian peasants today bring their chil- dren to receive the blessing of a Car- dinal, or to touch the relic of some saint The disciples said, "These young- sters are a nuisance, take them away!" These old-minded young men would not think much of "Young Wor- shipers' Leagues." "No," said Jesus. "Let them come. It is to such as these that my kingdom belongs." It is the outlook of the child that is needed in religion. To a child the unseen realities are very real. Words- worth, in his Intimationa of Immor- tality, writes: . . . Trailing clouds of glory do uo com« I From God, ivho is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy.' But as we grow older, it grows more dim until: At length the Man perceives it die away. And fade into the light of common day. To a child there are no social dis- tinctions. "I wish you would find an- other little boy to play with," said a mother to her boy. He replied, per- plexed, "But, mother, he is a nice boy. He's much nicer than . . . (naming the suggested alternatives). He wouldn't do the things they do." Ht could not understand his mother^s point of view. He knew only that his friend was a nice, good boy. To him, that was enough. Would Jesus agree with him? The child deals with reaHties all the time â€" grown-ups, occasionally. The child "receives" the kingdom. He does not try to buy it, becauso it never occurs to him that he has "won his own way" to success. Berkeley, Calif.â€" OfflclaU of the Unl- rersiiy of California announced last week that the coldest man-made tem- perature yet attained, 459.1 degrees be- low zero Fabrenhet, had been reached by experimenters at the university. This achivement of W. F. Qiauque, assisted by C. F. Nelson, mechanician, was accomplished by use of a mag- netic cycle process which Prof. Giau- que developed. The mark reached la within .25 degree Centigrade of the absolute absence of heat. Experi- menters generally have held attain- ment of practical zero Is essential to solution of numerous scientific prob- lems. Among theories advanced Is that the practical absence of heat 1b necessary as a preliminary to creation of a per- fect vacuum, that new low tempera- tures can be applied to manafacturs of a super-steel and that this research will contribut» to the study or tbl structure of the atom. The substance cooled by Proffe.soi Giaque was gadolinium suffate octa> hydrate, a compound of gadolinium, • metallic element discovered in IS80. By ammonia refrigeration and othei customary cooling processes Prot Giouque reached a temperature ol about 306.4 degrees below zero Pah* renheit, at which point the magneild cycle begns. The heat generated by magnetizing and demagnetizing !â-  drawn out of the substance by liquid helium which surrounds it. The sub* stance then Is isolated from the hel- ium by a high vocuum. The magnetla field Is decreased and this actlcj fur- ther cools the substance. II. The Great Choice, Mark 10 17-22 The new standard is now discussed in its relation to money. The young man wanted to know how he could get the best kind of life. "Jesus, look- ing upon him, loved him," that is, was very much taken with him. He halts the inquirer's enthusiasm by telling him that no one is good but God. Jesus refuses to take credit to Ijlmself independently of his Father. A Christian saint might say, "Not I, but Christ; so Jesus says, "Not I, but my Father." The young man had been accustom- ed to observe the law, but now, dis- satisfied, he feels that there must be something higher. Jesus, putting his finger on his weakness, said, "Sell all you have. . . ." The young man lost the kingdom because he was not will- ing to lose his property for it. Jesus wanted him, but he wanted him poor. We can sympathize with the disci- ples who could not understand this! This passage does not mean that every wealthy man must give away his wealth when he becomes a Christian. It may be a much more difficult and Christian thing to administer prop- erty wisely than simply to dispose of it. In this man's case, the love of money seems to have had such a hold on him that to get rid of it was the only remedy. Jesus had no place among his followers for a man who puts property rights ahead of his re- ligion. The young man made his great choice, and went away sorrowing. III. The Wealthy Chbisti.an, Mark 10: 23-27. Jesus says that it is almost im- possible for a rich man u become- part of the brotherhood. He had a haunting dread of the deadening pow- er of money in a man's spiritual life. The making of it does not tend to cultivate the qualities that make for brotherhood. Once made, it erects a barrier. It requires a mighty demon- stration of good will to overcome the undue deference, the diffidence, or the suspicion with which the world so often looks upon a rich man, v. 23. This teaching was quite "Ijeyond" the disciples, v. 24. The more money the worshipper had when he went to Je- rusalem to worship, the more splen- did his part in it would be. But, Jesus went on, not only will it be difScult for a man who puts his money f.rst, it will be impossible for him to enter the brotherhood. Verse 25, quoting a current proverbial phrase, is to be taken literally. It does not mean "difficult": it means "impossible." Christ must have the throne in our hearts. Not even money, masterful as it is, may usurp that position. If the rich man cannot get in, what about the rest of ua'' To accomplish it, says Jesus, will be nothing short of a miracle â€" a miracle of grace, v. 27. "So opposed to current ideas was such a thought, that the disciples, ac- customed to think that wealth meant happiness, were amazed. If the same doctrine were proclaimed in any great commercial centre today, it would ex- cite no less astonishment. At least, many Christians and others live as if the opposite were true. Wealth possessed, and not trusted in, but used aright, may become a help towards eternal life; but wealth as commonly regarded may be a curse." <, Man Leaves Position To His Wife by WiU A woman is to take her husband's place as chairman of directors of a company of brassfounders. This is the remarkable condition laid down in the will of Frederick Machman Watson of Rotherham, Yorkshire, Eng., a civil engineer, who left estate of the gross value of £69,- 2G4, with net personality £59,017. Mr. Watson was chairman and managing director of a Rotlierham firm of brassfounders, and in his will he stated that he desired his wife to be in the same position as he (at the time of his death) and that she should, after his death, be appointed chairman of directors of the said company, and that the company should pay to her the same salary as he was receiving from it at the time of his death. Mrs. Watson, for about five years during which Mr. Watson was seri- ously ill, took an active part in the management of the business. Clean Crime Sheet For Chinese Isle SUaughai. â€" The International Settle- meat at Kulaugsu on the islaud of Amoy. oft the coast of Fuklen Pro- vince, has established a notable record for peace and order during the past year. The chairman of the Municipal Council, in his annual report, declares: "There has been a total absence of armed robberies, abductions, murder* or other serious forms of crime . . . no industrial disputes have occurred to disturb the peace and good order of the Settlement." The population of Kulangsu exceeds 32,000, of whom the vast majority are Chinese. "1 fear we are losing our Ideals In the mad rush for wealth." "Oh, I don't know. The mad rush for the ball park will begin again before long." * Wood Stoves Return Fort Worth, Tex.- -Wood and coal stoves are returning to popularity here. During the past year the num- ber of wood-yards increasei' from 4^ to 97. and coal companies report heavj' increases in business.

Home of Future Designed By Doctor Novel Parisian Edifice BuiU of Glass, Steel, and Rubber Paris. â€" Behind the w-alla of an old* fashioned mansion in the heart oii Paris has been built the "Home oi Tomorrow" â€" a remarkable edifice oi glass, steel and rubber with permanJ ant sunshine "on top." i This is the town house of Dr. Jeai( Dalsace, a wealthy French sportsmaiv' art collector aiid noted doctx>r, an4 was designed as an experiment by M* Pierre Chareau, a leading architect, j Passing through the very normal courtyard portals at No. 31 Rue Sd Guillaume, Faubourg St. Germain^ the unsuspecting visitor comes upoa this surprising house. To build thj^ house the architect tore down th* three lower storeys of an old mansion^' but left the fourth storey to rest upoirf the top of this super-modem homJ and serve as servants' quarters. ! The outer alls are composed of thick glass tiles set in steel frames,'' gfiving a net-like effect. These ar« not transparent but they admit plentj" of light. ' TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED. Within this "Home of the Year 2000" are vents which shoot current^ of warm air through the floors, th«' temperature thus obtained being temJ l)ered by ventilators in the walla? Nevertheless the temperature permibJ of the free growth of cactuses, orch- ids and other tropical plants. !

There ai-e no interior walls, pi-op^ erly speaking, but mere partitions ofl steel netting or painted metal. 1 The lighting system is, however.' the triumph of the architect Thli is provided by six huge reflectors ouW side the building. When the lights ar# switched on these reflectors throw «j strong glare through the tiles of th# walls, giving a perfect illusion of euai shine. « Banknote History Fills 110 Specimen Volumes: London. â€" A banknote history of th» world has been collected by a LonJ doner. For fifty years Fred Catling has scoured the globe in pursuit oC his hobby and today has 110 leather-^ bound volumes containing more than 40,000 notes. j One, which he claims is the oldest, is of the Mongol period of KublW Khan. It was printed on mtilberry'^ silk paper 700 years agfo.
