Home Made Handkerchiefs.
By BELLB CASH HARRINGTON.
There is a girl in a town in Penn
sylvania who is earning money for a
trip next summer, by selling hand
made handkerchiefs. She began early
last fall, with a few orders from
friends, and now she has orders for
all she can do until spring.
One-third of a yard of linen
makes three handkerchiefs. This,
with a skein of floss makes the cost
of material about 25 cents.
White now is the standard color,
but people are going wild over
handkerchiefs in bright-colored
linen, for both men and women.
Pale grey, tan, and champagne are
favorite colors for men, while ladies
delight in the various shades of blue,
orange, purple and rose.
.There are several ways of making
these handkerchiefs. The plan of
finishing the edge with a tiny rolled
hem held down by a line of single
crochet with a picot every half inch,
is still popular.
The newest fashion is a plain hem
put in with very fine thread, or with
the ravelings, if colored linen is
used. Sometimes a very narrow
hem is basted in, held in place by
cross-stitching of colored thread.
In whatever way the edge is fin
ished, fashion calls for colored cords
in the body of the handkerchief.
This is the way it is done. Draw
a thread evenly all around the hand
kerchief. Then skip one thread and
draw another. This leaves one
thread .with an open space on either
side. Take a double length of col
ored floss and tie the end of this
middle thread on the handkerchief
to the loop of the floss. Then be
gin at the other side of the hand
kerchief and pull this middle thread
carefully through. The double col
ored thread will follow easily, if
your linen is as loosely woven as it
should be. All sort? of designs may
be carried out, though a few simple
lines are best for the men's hand
kerchiefs. Be sure to keep the , work im
maculately clean. Always have it
folded in a towel, and if possible
keep a sweet-scented sachet among
your linens.

Why Such High Chimneys?
By C. M. HYDE.
"Why do factories have such tall
chimneys, daddy?"
"To increase the draft of their
furnaces. Arid the height of the.
chimney is so definitely related to
the size of the boilers that an engi
neer has tables which, tell him that
a r00 horsepower boiler must have
a chimney at least 60 feet tall, while
1,000 horsepower needs one 110 feet
tall. etc.
"The man who first built a chim
ney wanted merely to build a fire in
his house without smoking out his
family. He succeeded through the
simple fact that hot air and smoke
weigh less than cold air. The cold
er air in his house was heavy
enough to push up the hot air above
his fire and drive it right through his
chimney. But he found that his
chimney must be taller than the
highest part of his house's roof or
it wouldn't work, or draw, because
the column of warm air in the chim
ney must be taller than the column
of cold air in the house, or there is
not enough difference in weight
"When men began to run steam
engines and needed to build bigger,
hotter fires fndoors ajiey found that
the bigger the fire, the more draft
they needed the faster the air must
move up thfi chimney. This is be
cause fire is nothing more than the
combination of oxygen (in the air)
with hot fuel, and the bigger fire
you want, the more air and oxygen
you must keep passing through it.
You can build a tremendous fire
outdoors because you have unlim
ited air. Indoors, however, you
have only what can crowd into the
furnace and up the chimney,
"As the horsepower of a steam
boiler depends on the amount of
coal burned in it, engineers must
force mora air through the furnace.
To get this extra 'push' they build
the chimney larger and taller, be
cause the taller and thicker the col
umn of hot, light air, the faster it
will be pushed up by heavier cold
air. Ten feet more on the chimney
gives just so much more push to the
draft. And so, when you look at a
factory chimney you can tell just
about how big its boilers are by the
size and height of its chimney.

FITCH PERKINS r
Dutch Twins Prepare for Market.
One' afternoon Kit and Kat were
playing around the kitchen door
step, while their mother sat on a
bench by the door peeling some
onions for supper. It was not yet'
supper time, but Vrouw Vedder was
always ahead of the clock with the
work.
Kit and Kat had a pan of water
and were teaching their ducklings to
swim. They each had one little fat
duckling of their very own. The
ducklings squawked when Kit lifted
them over the edge of the pan into
the water.
"Don't do that, Kit," said Kat.
"The ducklings don't like it. You
didn't like it when you fell into the
water, did you?"
"But I'm not a duck." said Kit.
'(Well, anyway, they're tired and
want to go to their mother," said
Kat. "Let's go out to the garden
and help father get the boat loaded
for market."
"All right," said Kit. "May we,
mother?"
"Yes," said Vrouw Vedder; "and
you may ask father if he will take
you to market with him tomorrow,
WHY?-
do coats have buttons on the
sleeves?
(Copyright, 1920. by Wheeler Syn
dicate, Inc.) '
IN the olden days, before hand
kerchiefs were invented, it
was the almost universal cus
tom to wipe one's nose on one's
sleeve. Shortly after one of the
early French kings had ordereti
new uniforms made i for h's
guards, he noted that the men
were ruining their apparel by
wiping their noses on the silken
sleeves of their jackets a habit
which, at that time, was not con
sidered either unsanitary or un
usual. His majesty therefore
ordered that a row of buttons
be placed on the sleeves, at a
spot directly opposite the one
which they now occupy: for he
figured that buttons would put
an end to the practice where or
ders might be overlookged.
This touch of unusual tailor
ing was copied by many of the
gallants of the court and grad
ually spread to England and to
other countries. When hand
kerchiefs came into vogue the
buttons remained, but were grad
ually shifted around the sleeve to
the position which they now occupy.
Tomorrow's Question WHY
can cats see in the dark?
if it's fair. Tell him I said you could
ask."
"Oh, goody, goody!" said Kit and
Kat, both at once; and they ran as
fast as their wooden shoes would
take them out into the garden.
They found their father cutting
cabbages and gathering them into
piles. He was' stopping to light his
pipe, when they reached him.
"O father I" said Kit and Kat, both
together. "May we go on the boat
to market with you tomorrow morn
ing? Mother said we might askl"
Father Vedder blew two puffs
from his pipe without answering.
"We'll help ypu load the boat,"
said Kit.
"Yes," said Kat, "I can carry a
cabbage."
"I can carry two," said Kit. "We'll
both be good," said Kat.
'"Very well," said father, at last.
"We'll see how you workl And
tomorrow morning, if it's fair, I'll
seel But you must go to bed early
tonight, because you'll have to get
up early in the morning, if you go
with me! Now. von each tak a rah.
bage and run along."-
rattier vedder went back to his
work.
. Kit and Kat ran to the cabbage
pije. Kat took one, and Kit took
two just to show that he could.
"When father says "I'l see he
always means 'yes,' " Kat said to
Kit.
Perhaps -it seems queer to you
that they should go to market in a
boat, but it didn't seem queer at all
to the twins.
