Illualriited Dressmaking Lesson Fur- nished with Ei'i'ry Pattern Salads Are "In" Salada are practically synonymoua nritli summer menua. Moat family lunches- and Sunday night suppers tentra around the salad bowl. Of course, everybody needs at least one hot dish a day no matter what the thermometer may register. Let that hot dish makd its appearance at din- ner. In so far as lunches are concern- ed, the home-maker will do well to look to her salad recipes as long as hot weather is with us. Lettuce, endive, chicory, watercress and all the other salad greens are rich la vitamin content. They are not to be overlooked, particularly when plan- ning diets for growing children. Use Fresh Fruits The fruits which go to make up that old standby, fruit salad, are healthful in themselves. At this time of year you can serve fruit salad com- posed entirely of fresh fruits. Time enough to use canned ones when the reason prevents you from getting fresh varieties. Pineapple, strawberries, cherries, grapefruit and oranges are abundant right now. Take advantage of them. The dressings which top your salads furnish ample fat for a meal. Mayon- naise is rich in fatty content. French dressing is, or should be, about one- balf olive oil. An ideal summer salad for the main course of a luncheon or Sunday night Supper is cottage cheese with sour cream surrounded by a ring of fresh vegetables. Place crisp lettuce around the edges of a huge platter. A mound of cottage cheese goes In the centre. Sprinkle, the cheese with paprika and fine chop- ped chives or green onions. Whether you mil onions or chives all through the cheese depends on your family's taste. You have to add salt and pep- ^r to most cottage cheese sold in jilores. If you make your own it will iave been seasoned while it was warm. Around the outer edge of the cheese put small portions of various cold vegetables. Diced carrots, beets, peas, string beans, and whole kernels of corn may be included. Celery, radish- es, cucumbers and tomatoes can be used to garnish the lettuce between the vegetables. Put a spoonful of salad dressing on top of each mound of vegetables and pour a little sour cream over the cheese. Everyone helps himself as the platter .Js passed. .•' French Dressing Tli» principal reason so many people ffttl to mate good French dressing is that they do not put enough ingredi- ents into it. Just olive oil, vinegar and paprika are hardly enough. Try using pickle Juice instead of plain vinegar. Two small slices of garlic, VSfo or three whole cloves, a halt cup ^ sugar and plenty of salt and pepper to one cup of vinegar and one cup of Wive oil give your French dressing a Jest that it never had before. Cottage Cheese A delightful addition to the summer menu, and easy to make, is cottage flieese. There are so many attractive ways to serve it and it combines so readily with appetizing food accessories that It Is a favorite standby with many housewives. Cottage cheese may be made at home and it's an excellent way to use tnilk when it sours. If you follow the rules carefully you can't help but have successful results and the cheese will be most delectable. Because it is the protein part of the milk, cottage cheese will take the place of meat or eggs for luncheon or supper or the pic- Dlc meal. Simple Directions Thick curdled milk that has soured j_uickly is the best foundation for a ^ood quality of cottage cheese and while there are several ways of mak- Ijg the cheese perhaps the follow- ing is the easiest: Place the bowl containing the thiqk •pur milk into a large pan of hot â- ijater. Never let the milk become ^ora than "blood" heat. Too high a temperature toughens and hardens the curd. Let stand until thorough separa- Jon takes place. Then pour into a rge square of double cheese-cloth placed over a colander. Gather up the four corners of the cheesecloth and hang up to drain. Let It drain until the curd U Arm and all the whey Is drained out. Remove from cheese- cloth to a bowl and beat with a fork, adding cream, either sweet or sour, to make the mixture of the right con- sistency. Add salt to "taste," usually about %t teaspoon to two cups cheese. Serve a big dish of cottage cheese plain, or sprinkle with chopped chives, or mix It with minced onion, olives or cucumber dice, or use shred- ded green pepper or pimento. Two or three of these additions may be used in combination. An unusual and delicious dessert for summer meals combines unmixed cot- tage cheese with whipped cream, using equal parts of whipped cream and cheese. Serve with strawberry or cur- rant preserves and crisp crackers. Cool Drinka As the thermometer mounts, re- freshing drinks made with fruit juices become most welcome. More than this, any drink made with fruit has a definite place in the diet. We all recognize the importance of eating fruit for Its mineral content and vitamins, and we should remem- ber those necessary six daily glasses of water. In a fruit punch, we find these essentials combined In a pleas- ing fashion. Scientists tell us that "water has the property of absorbing mora heat and being less affected by that heat than any other substance. It will ab- sorb the heat from your body, and in passing oft in the form of perspiration the evaporation cools you; hence there is a good reason for sipping a cooling beverage not only in the im- mediate cooling effect but in the ulti- mate effect." Charged Drinks Healthful It is also interesting to know that ginger ale and innumerable other bot- tled beverages made with "charged" or "carbinated" water are healthful drinks, according to chemical research. These beverages are of some food value due to the sugar used in their making, while the fruit juices, acids and extracts and other flavors from aromatic herbs and roots as well as the carbon dioxide gas present act as a tonic and mild stimulant. In making drinks for summer re- freshment, take care not to make them too sweet. A sugar syrup is better than plain sugar for sweetening. The flavor of the finished drink is more bland and smooth. However, it should be remembered that the syrup acta also as a dilutent as well as a sweet- ener and must be considered when water is added. Fruit Juices Handy Ginger ale adds sparkle and pep to a fruit puL'ch. Carbonated water gives a tang, while tea distinctly changes the flavor. These all give character to a mild punch whereas plain water merely lessens the fruity taste and In- creases the quantity. Don't hesitate to combine fruit juices. The excessive juice left from the canning of small fruits may al- ways be used to advantage in summer drinks. Lemon or lime juice give a pleasant tartness to all fruit punches and should be added, it at all possible. Feather Biscuit Mix together: IV2 cups flour, 1 table- spoon lard, IVi teaspoons baking pow- der. % teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup milk (.or enough milk to make a soft dough). Bake in a quick oven. These biscuits are so easy to make and are always "as light as a feather,"' too. Dressmaking Hints When cutting out a garment always use sharp pins and scissors. Blunt ones are apt to move the material out of position. Always use the scissors at the right side and hold the pattern firmly with the palm of the left hand. Pleats, and so on, in silk material, should be tacked with silk thread. Cot- ton or mercerized cotton will mark the stuff when pressed. Always thread a needle with the end of th© thread that first comes off the reel â€" not the end that you cutâ€" and you will have no trouble with continu- ally knotting threads.

Enclose 15c in stamps or coin (coin preferred; wrap it carefully) for each number, and address %-our order to Wilson Pattern Service, 73 West Adelaide St., Toronto. between it and the material. Sew the button on in the usual way but before finishing off, take out the pin and wind the thread several times around the stitches between buttou and cloth. This will form a "shauk," and prevent dragging when the garment is button- ed up. On thick material use a match stitch in place of a piu. When sewing buttons on. thin ma- terial place a piece of strong tape on the wrong side and sew through both material and taoe. In a pleated dress, make a small cross stitch at the base of each pleat, on the inside of the hem. These will show the position of the pleats when the garment has been washed, and help you to iron them straight. Mrs. Leghorn: I hear that you don't like Dr. Duck.

The Book of Judges Is the account of the long period after the death of Joshua and before the rise of Ell and Samuel, when the Israelites had no truly national leader, when they were liarassed by heathen tribes. Tha people were saved from de- struction by the rise at different emergencies of military leaders who forced back the foreign invaders, and gave the land peace for a long- er or shorter time. These leaders appeared in different tribes, some of them simultaneously. These leaders were called Judges, and their period extended through about two and a half centuries. There were twelve of them, not counting .\bimelech, who was a lo- cal king and not called of God. The first of the Judges wag Othnlel of the tribe of Judah, who saved the people from the king of Mesopota- mia. Next Ehud of the tribe of Ben- jamin delivered the Israelites from the Moabites. Shamgar. perhaps of Judah, saved tlia people in an attack of the Philistines. Then ca...^ De- borah of Ephraim and Barak of N'aphtali who delivered the people from the aggressions of the Canaan- ites. Gideon ot Manasseh fought and co'nquered the Midianites, who came in upon Israel from the east- ern desert. Jepthah of Gilead was victorious over the Ammonites. Ib- zan ot Zebulun, Elon also ot Zebu- lun, and Abdon of Ephraim were Judges successively. Then came Samson of the southern division of Dan, who struggled heroically against the Philistines on the west. These were the twelve Judges, though Ell who came next, while high priest, was also a Judge, and Samuel, the last and greatest of all, was a Judge but preeminently a prophet. A Woman fudge. After the vic- tory of Ehud over the Moabites, the land ot Canaan was at peace for eighty years. Then after Ehud's death the Israelites, untaught by their past misfortunes, again fell under the ever-present temptations of Idolatry, and the Lord "sold them into the land" ot another oppressor. The "purchaser" this time was a Canaanite king, Jabin. whose capi- tol was Hazor, "the Fort" or "the Castle," situated far in the north, near Lake Merom. in the territory of Naphtali. Jabin means "intelli- gent," and he was at least able enough to do a great injury to the Israelites. Ha accomplished his cruel deeds through a pewerful gen- eral named Sisera. "Now Deborah." Her name meaijs "a bee." Re'oekah's nurse had the same name. "A prophetess." She was a woman through whom God revealed His will, as he revealed it through tha prophets. "Tha wife ot Lappidoth." A man of whom we know nothing except that he was the husband of Deborah. "She judg- ed Israel at that time." At the time when Jabin and Sisera were harry- ing the people to the north ot her. Though far away from the scene of their depredations. Deborah had a heart ot sympathy for all suffering, and she was a true patriot. "And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment." For the decision of disputes, the settlement of difficulties. "She did not go on circuit like Samuel, but sat at home in Mt. Ephraim under the tree to which she gave her name." 'She was the one person of her day in whom the authentic word ot God found utterance." ".\nd she sent and called Barak." His name means "Lightuin.a;" â€" a good name for a soldier. "And said unto him." He came, eldently, a distin- guished general, at the command of a woman. "Hath not Jehovah, the God ot Israel, commanded." a defin- ite statement put in the form of a question. "Saying, go and draw un- to moinit Tabor." ".\nd take with thee ten tliousand men of the child- ren of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? These, with Issachar. which also sent a strong contingent to the battle, were northern tribes, and so mose erposed to Sisera's In- roads. ".\nd I will draw unto thee." So Influence that he will come to at- tack thee. "Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude." "The original is very expressive ot the mixed host which constituted Sisera's army. ".•\.nd I will deliver him into thy hand." God promised to put Sisera into the iwwer ot BaBrak, though Barak was so weak, comparatively, and Sisera so mighty. Thus God always chooses the weak to confound and overcome the strong. "And Barak a«irt unto her, If thou wilt go with me, 'chen I will go." Barak waa lesii heroic than Deborah; for though the general would not go to the battle without the prophetess, Deborah, we may ba sure, would have gone to the battle without Ba- rak, If necessary. "BBut if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go." "Ba- rak's refusal to so without Deburali may reasonably be attributed rather to piety than to fear. Especially as we read of no hesitation In coming at the first call of Deborah. "And she said, I will surely go with thee." No hesitalton here, no doubt,.^ no cowardly conditions. De- borah might have said, "I will go, If I may sta.v protected In the rear"; or, "I will go, It first you will raise an army of a hundred thousand men." But Deborah simply said, right off, "I will surely go with thee." "Notwithstanding, the journey that thou takast shall not be for thine honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." "SIxing upon him a look in wrieh pity, sor- row, and indignation were blended, eaoetaoin h shrdlu wcmfw sh up m the prophetess replied, "If this Is thy decision, I will surely accom- pany thee. Since thou wilt not go except a womaa go R-lth thee, tha Lord will deLver thine adversary into the hand of a woman, and her name and not thine shall be handed down to future generations as the deliverer of her people. And De- borah arose, and went with Barak to Keresh." It was not an eaay jour- ney, especially to a home-loving and home-keeping woman like Deborah; but she cared not for thehardships of tha way. ".â- \nd Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. He called the chiefs together at Ke- desh, and they summoned their fol- lowers quietly. In small companies, 30 aa not to attract the attention of ! the enem.v, they proceeded to the ' rendezvous. ".\nd there went up ten thousand men at his feet." "On foot," perhaps; Maffatt translates It, "at his back." "And Deborah j went up with him." "Evidently to , Tabor, in accordance with her in- structions." II. BARAK'S VICTORY OVER â-  SISERA, Judg. 4:11-24. Sisera's i Great Power. "And Sisera Gather- ed together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron." "Tid- ings soon reached the headquarters of Sisera. ".\nd Deborah said unto Barak, L'p; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath delivered Sisera into thy hand." Her wards sound like the peal ot a trumpet. She was tha real commander-in-chief. "Is not Jehovah gone out before thee?" That waa the real confidence, tha true omen ot success. "So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him." Ba- rak allowed Sisera to selac this own ground. Hsi men were highlanders, used tofighting in the hills; but they abandoned the mountain fastness, and went forward boldly to meet Sisera and his iron chariots on the plain. It was a splendid evidence ot trust In their Divine Leader. "And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge ot the sword before Barak." "And Sisera alighted from hia chariot, and fled away on hla feet." None ot his boasted multi- tude of iron chariots remained to succor him. Tha course of the bat- tle wa are left to draw from De- borah's ode of triumph. "Sisera, vanquished, is forced to trust to his own feet, and, jaded, and exhausted, he arrives at the tent of Heber the Kenite. Jael the wife of Heber comes forth to meet him, invites him hospitality into her tent and provides him with food and a couch. He falls asleep, imagin- ing himself safe. Then Jael, taking one ot the pins ot the tent, drives it with a hammer into the temples ot the sleeping man, and he lies slain after all his valor and distinction, by the hand ot a woman. Opinions have been divided as to the charac- ter ot Jael's act. It was that ot an assassin, but was the assassin a heroine or a criminal? Did she avenge the wrongs of her country and so take her place beside such women as Joan of Arc. Charlotte Corday. and others whose patriot- ism none can doubt? Or was she simply a woman who committed murder with a diabolical Ingenuity? Deborah, whose magnificent song of triumph runs the entire gamut of melody, said that Jael was blessed above all women. Deborah voiced the sentiment ot the time. The stars in their course had fought against Sisera, and it was his destiny to per- ish in the way that he would have most hated." Police to Decide If Dress is Modest ;« .\. doctor pronounced Mrs. Tsuru Kiso, a 92-year-old Tokyo woman of Shirohama-cho, dead. When the fun- eral service began the mourners were astounded to hear a noise in the coffin. They opened it. Mrs. Kiso calmly stepped out and began to eat one ot the rice cakes placed on the altar erected for the service. Parks Board Declines to bo Censor of Public Man- ners and Mode of Attire "The Parks Board declines to ba censor in advance of Vancouver man- ners and mode ot dress on the bathing beaches this year, and sensible people, we should think, will say that the Parka Board la wise," says The Pro- vince editorially. Whether the pollci authorities will view the board's d» cisioa with so much approval ia aa other matter. The board saya it il the function of the police to enforci tha legal regulations ot he bathioi beaches, and bathing dreas 'must b< modest.' Public the Arbiter "But surely the common sense ol this question is that flnall]^ it Is onl] public opinion that can ba the arbiter. This is essenlally a question of man' ners, and not of morals at all. "It la interesting to note that hi presen b.v-law, although since amend- ed, goes back for 20 ears. It enjoyed tha use ot a bathing dress which waa nothing if not Victorian, but was car tainly much more than nothing at alL The general idea of it was that tht human body, for purposes of publla bathing, must be swathed, almost literally, from head to foot. In wrap- pings and flappings of concealing fab- ric, the more the beter and the mora concealing the best. The bathing cos- tume of that age would be a figure ot fun for this, and we can imagine noth- ing mora likely to cause disorder on the bathing beach than a sudden revei^ sion to it by some reactionary or friv- olous exponent of that forgotten mode.
