‘Evening Lamp’ Study Plan in Strong Appeal Reading Course Movement Meets Approval of I. U. Extension Division. ItY JULIA C. HENDERSON. The “Back to the Evening Lamp" movement, as being inaugurated by the Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C., doubtless will be popular In Indiana as the cooperation of the extension division of Indiana L'nivers ty has been given to the project. The plan of the movement is to reach the people with reading courses of a popular nature, to present together with biographies of some of the leaders of our time, stories of the foundational service of .those who will till the ranks of constructive labor—the farmer, the miner, the manufacturer, the doctor, the teacher —the great army of the workers of the world. Some of the books are clear and stimulating studies of present day problems and tendencies. The requirements are that each course must be completed within three years from date of enrollment. Readers must notify the U. S. Bureau of Education at the time they begin each book, and upon its completion must send a summary containing the most important facts and covering the entire book in a general way. Credit will not be given for reading done previous to enrollment. A certificate signed by the commissioner of education, and bearing seal of the United States Bureau of Education will be awarded for each course completed according to requirements Prospective readers in Indiana shorld communicate with the director of ex.ension in Indiana University, Pobert E. Cavanaugh, extension division, Bloomington, Indiana. Local and State libraries may be able to furnish books upon application. The following home reading course, recently put out by John J.

A smart and quite popular mode of the moment is to fringe it out. Decide what depth you desire the fringed, edge—one or two inches is preferable—' then pull out a few threads at that length and hemstitch, which prevents it fraying further and below the hemstitching fray the twf-ed. A more simple method is to bind the edge of the hem with tape' or binding and then catch the tape to the skirt with hemming stitches, being careful to take up but a few threads on the needle, so that the sewing will not show through. Another quick and simple way is to catch down the raw edge of the hem with catchstitching.—From the March Designer. CURLS OK OFFICE.

ThimbleiThi/able! By CONSTANCEr-CORNWALL

This story hinges on the possession of a collection of jewels .of inestimable value. Diana Richmond, while visiting London relatives, meets Lord Banister, whom she marries. With tile breaking out of the World War her husband is called to battle and is killed in action. An older brother of Lor<L Banister, the Earl of Hardvaster, presents Diana with the famous Ilnrdeaster family jewels as a partial settlement of estate. After serving as nurse among the hospital bases until the end of the war, Diana returns to America, bringing the jewels. A bpanish woman, alleged widow of the Karl of Hardcaster, lays cluim to the treasure, and a light for possession is on. Diana, a< cosed of theft and threatened with at, .-.st, takes her case to Low-rence Tilton, successful lawyer, and her form -r guardian. CHAPTER V—Continued “Did he ever mention the Jewels?” Larry asked. “He only mentioned them once, and then it was I who broached the subject. ] When I tbld him they were still in the \ house he strougly urged me to return them to the bank where it was customary to keep them. But I didn’t follow | his advice, although at that time I had ; no particular reason for not doing so. ! But a few weeks before 1 sailed from | England I received a visit from a woman . who said she was tbe widow of the late E/>rl, arid a man who was supposed to | be a lawyer. "She asked me point-blank fee the Jewels, after showing me tome legalj looking documents, which she said were i marriage certificates, and so forth, j Needless to say I point-blank refused to ; even listen to her claims. When I referred her to the Earl or his lawyer she fold me that she had come directly i from thorn, and they had instructed her to come to mo and get the family belr- | looms In my possession. She had u min ute list of my Jewelry, even my wedding i presents, which had nothing to do with the family. ■’AnUle from their absurd errand, there j was something about the couple which I can't explain. They aroused the most i horrible suspicions that I have ever been guilty of. I was unable to breathe freely while they were in the room; they suffocated me. The woman was undent- ' ably beautiful, but ber magnificent eyes were shifty and dangerous; the glances I which she shot from her long dark laches j were like glistening daggers. Her mouth ! though exquisitely formed, was suspii clous and insincere. Her hair was blacii as a raven's wing, and her features and j complexion were extraordinarily perf • ' ! There is no doubt that in a fasetnating i mood she could be very chinning, bu' ; 1 didn't sec her under a green bio conditions. My Impressions of her wer-“ that she could love and kill In a very quick succession of moods. “The man was even worse than the j Spanish woman. Think of all the worst I men you have ever heard of and I he--1 Here he was worse thnn any of them." j “How did you get rid of them?” Larry ' asked. “By offering to call up the Earl's lawyer.” she laughed. “The man said they would go back to tbe Earl of Hardcaster and turn t’te matter over to him. We parted, 1n the only way possible, on the very worst of terms. The woman threatened nil sorts of things that seemed Impossible of fulfillment, but there Is no doubt that she will find some way of annoying me. 1 feel sure that this ont-rn-ji-ous story about the jewels Is a sample of her pernicious activity.” "I believe you're right.” declared Tilton. rubbing his hands gleefully. “Tell me *onie more, Di Y'on are a perfect i mine of valuable Information." “My suspicions of the woman were verified the day affpr her visit to me. I was called to the bedside of the Earl, who was suffering from an unusually bad attack of Inflammatory rheumatism. He told me he had not s“en the Spanish woman. If” said that she lind written, requesting an interview, hut he had referred her to h! lawyer, who was then investigating her claims. The Fnrl got better, but when I snlled from England he was still confined to his room. I called oti him Just before leaving to say goodbv.” “Did you acquaint the Earl with your suspicious of the couple?” Larry asked. I “I didn't have to,” Dl said with cm- | phahts. “After feigning to have received | an order from him, they were self-con- > demned.” While Dl' had been spooking, Larry listened attentively, and his lawyer mind worked briskly. “You have not told me yotiv worst suspicions of that woman," he said, looking keenly at her. “No. And I don't intend to until you give me some lunch." she said derisively. “In fact, I think I have told you enough for you to cable to the Earl. For the rest, any time will do.” “Just one word more.” Larry said briefly, "in your laßt visit to the Earl : was anything said about the Spanish woman, or the jewels?” “Nothing except that very little had been learned about her marriage; doubtless on nccount of the cUfficulttes of communication abroad brought on by the war. The jewels were not men- j tioned.” “Good. That's fine. Now while you : put on your gloves I'U dictate a message ! or two,” he said alertly, “and then we’ll j go to luncheon. By that time Tom will bo here, and we’ll adjourn until tomorrow. Your explanation has clarified the ulr and I know pretty well now, where i

iwe stand.” Which shows how little a mere lawyer can know about a cas9 j which involves a half million dollars in rare jewels. For much waa to happen to Larry and Lady Di in the days to come! CHAPTER VI. . As Tilton and l.ady Banister returned f rom their luncheon an automobile stopped at ! the entrance to the buildlitg, where the lawyer had his offices. “There's Tom, and who's that with him?” Larry asked, scrutinizing-the occupants of the car. "It looks like Philip Morell,” Di said, gazing intently across the street at her brother's companion, regardless of the ; risk she ran, threading her way through | the stream of traffic at that point. “I don't think 1 know him,” Larry’s I brow puckered at the intrusion of a I stranger. “Tom met him at the Country Club roj eently. I* think they are going to be : roommates at Yale next term,” Di ex- | plained. “It seems to be quite a sudj den attachment, and ” I “Look out,” Larry gasped, swiftly pulling her from the front of an automobile. “Gee whiz! That was a pretty ; close shave.” A half suppressed titter made him glance sharply into the big touring car that had so neatly run them down. The chauffeur had been compelled to halt on account of the traffic ahead of him. Larry saw a woman richly dressed, crouching back In her seat, evidently to avoid the attention her thoughtless laugh had attracted. Only that she was young, he had no idea what she was like, for she was closeiy veiled. lie could feel Di g hand trembling on bis arm. A quick glance revealed her white cheeks and quivering lips. He almost carried her back to the sidewalk they had Just left, and waited for tho congestion of vehicles to move along. Apparently Di had not noticed the derisive laugh, emanating from the passing automobile. She was too frightened for that. When Larry looked at the woman in the car again her back was toward him. She had thrown back her veil and was craning her neck for a better view of something on the opposite side of the street. (To Be Continued.) PUSS IN BOOTS, .TR. By DAVID CORY. It was not an easy matter to find a cnimney for the pumpkin house. At last, Puss Junior suggested that Peter j cut out tittle bricks from the inside of the pumkin and build a regular chimney. This was indeed a mighty good suggestion, and before long the chimney was finished. And Peter and Mrs. Peter stood on one side, and Puss Junior -tid Tom Thumb on the other, and looked at the Pumpkin House with great admiration. j “It's a fine house,” said Puss. You | ought to be very proud of it.” ! “Well, I am,” admitted Peter, "and as long a* Mrs Peter like* It, I am more than contented. Up to this time, you know, I haven't been able to heep her in any kind of a house, so if she will live In this one I shall be as happy as happy can be. "I'll proinl 'o you that,” cried little Mrs. Peter, throwli g her arras about h!s neck, ''you've worked hard and done well, and Mrs. Peter will always remember that.” And after that Puss and Tom Thumb said th-y must be going, so thpy shook hands with Peter, and again started off on their Journey of adventure. • “Once more, dear litte comrade,” cried Puss Junior, "we are upon the broad highway. Let us be prepared for our next adventure.” ; “I'm ready,” cried little Tom Thumb, poking his head out of Puss Junior's pocket. “Let come what will, we have stout hearts and courage still.” And Just as he finished speaking, the report of a gun came down the breeze. “What's that?” cried Puss, dodging behind a tree. “Did they shoot at us?” asked Tom Thumb, from the inside of Puss Juhior's pocket. Bnt before Puss could rfply. a little man appeared in the meadow close by. “There waa a little man, and he had a little gti ~ And his buliets were made of lea J, lead, lead; He went to the brook, and saw a little duck. And shot it right through the head, head, head.” “That was a very good shot," cried Puss. “Do you think so?" asked the little man, “Perhaps It was,” and he leaned over and picked up tho duck. And after that "lie carried It home to his old wife Joan, _ * And bade her a fire make, make make, To roast the little dvck he had shot in the brook. And he’d go and fetch the drake, drake, drake.” “I'm going to tel! the drake to look out,” said Puss Junior. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—(Copyright, 1922.)

Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them. 1 FRIDAY. Mrs. Hobper was sluing beside tbe little tabie she had arranged for tea in the corner of the living room by the firep.ace when Helen came in from school. She carried her books upstairs and came back in a few minutes after having taken off her hat and coat in her own room. “This room is beginning to look a little better, isn t It?” she looking around in the funny little critical way that she inherited from her Auntie Belle. “The curtains look awful nice, but I miss the My couch, don’t you mother?” "Very much, my dear,” said Mrs. Hooper, “and I’ll buy one Just as soon as 1 can find something suitable that isn't too expensive.'? Roger had come Into the room with a bundle of wood wh ch he put into tho grate and stirred up the fire that had been burning low-.” “There, that gives us Just the cheerful look that we need to the room,- Helen.” exclaimed her mother as the wood burst into flames, and cast a bright glow oa the few pieces of furniture as well as sending out a comfortable warmth in the chilly room. “Oh. I don't know.” complained Helen, it all makes me think of the gymnasium at school instead of the living room at home, but I suppose every day it will get better until after awhile 'lt wiil seem all right." in the tea. Helen, and those cookies In the cracker jar; you will feel more cheerful when you've had a glass of milk,” said her mother ■ making no comment on her remark. s “I suppose we are all Just awfnl hothesiok,” remarked Roger, “and that's what makes this house look so empty and lonesome.'' “Yes, I suppose that is it, Roger,” said his mother, quietly. “Asa matter of fact, the house isn’t bad at all, and it has many more possibilities than the old place at Mayfield, but I can’t seem to bring them out yet.” ‘lt doesn't seem as if the Mayfield hojise could ever have been as bare and empty feeling as this one ss,” said Roger, wonderingly. “Why, we used to take every stick of furniture out of the place when we cleaned house', and it never seemed so forlorn.” “If we keep on we will all have the blues,” said Mrs. Hooper. “Your fathei seems to be the only cheerful one in the family these days. We will Just have to brace up.” "Oh, I feel cheerful enough, mother,” said Helen, setting the tea tray in front of her mother. *T like everything in Indianapolis very much. The girls at school are Just fine. I told some of them about our club that sewed for the Crippled Children's Home in Mayfield, and one of them said she thought w* couid do that here, because her mother was an officer or something for a hospital.” "On the board of managers probably," said Mrs. Hooper. “Yes, that was it." assented IMen, "and she said she'd ask her mother if w* couldn't have a club and 6he said her mother was coming to soe you becaus* she lives in uie next block and she knows Mr. Allen.”

“Coming to see me is she?” Mrs. ! Hooper nervously. ’’Dear me, I hoped no one would come and see us for a long time—at least until we get settled.” “Well, maybe that'll make us hurry up and get settled.” remarked the philosophic Helen as she took a cookie and passed one to Betty who was clamoring to be helped. “I told Helen Madden that I knew you'd like to see her mother- so I wouldn't be surprised if she just came in almost any time.” | “That was all right," said Mra. Hooper, smiling at her eipall daughter quietly. 1 “Cf course. I shall be glad to see>any friend of Mr. Allen's, but I have so much to plan 1 had hoped &> one would call for awhile.” "Oh, I told her we always had tea at half past four and all our friends cams then,” announced the hospitable Helen. The menus for tne three meals on Saturday are: BREAKFAST. Baked Apploa. Cereal. Fish Hash. Hot Biscuits. Coffee. ' ' ‘ t luncheon. Baked Beans. Brown Bread and Butter. Fruit Salad. Coco*. DINNER. Vegetable Soup. Beef Loaf. Hashed Brown Potatoes. Spinach. Tapioca Fielding. STEAMED APPLE PUDDING. Fill a two-quart granite pudding mold two-thirds full of sliced sour apples. Butter the rim and edges of pan and the inside of cover. Cover with dough made as follows: . Sift together two eups of flour; one-fourth teaspoonful of stilt; four teaspoons of baking powder. Add three-fourths cup of milk mix with a knife, turn on a lightly floured board and

roll to flt the mold. Lay over apples. Cover closely and steam one hour In steamer, | or place mold in a trivet in a kettle i surrounded with water, being careful | t hat water does not reach cover of mold, j and cook one hour. Serve with vanilla or lemon sauce. Remove cover from mold aim- loosen pastry around thi edges. Lay serving platter over mold and invert it; remove mold leaving crust on bottom and apples on top. Cut as pie is served. If the apples are | sweetened with molasses and two tablespoonfuls of shortening added to tha j dough before adding milk, then baked in oven, this is then called “Pandowdy." NEW YORK FASHION niNTS. A misses' dress that can be worn frontwards or backwards has made its appearance in the Flft 1 - Avenue shops. That is to say, it is reversable. It slips over the head and has no buttons. The sleeves are loose: in fact the gown all the way through is more or less of a throw-on for informal lounging wear. Little Grace Eastman, the toe-dancer lof the Criterion Theater, talked before I the Addison Women's Club recently on I “Correct Styles for Athletic Girls." She j favored loose, but not too low collars, | low shoes with wide foes, skirts half way to tha ankles and a flexible corset covering the hips and abdomen. Thus attired she danced for the ladies while a motion picture man ground away with his camera.
