TAPESTRY OF LIFE
Faith is the' nafro\£, strand of white
in my life’s worn, tapestry;
It shines out in the darkest night
Of trouble an<L adversity.
Hope is the iridescent blue
Wool-fibril, often wafer-thin;
Yet always Reckoning anew
To teach me sterner discipline
Love is the golden filagree -
. That interweaves" and binds tHe plan,
And gives the fragile tapestry
Strength to outlast its growing span.
Used threads of white and blue and'gold
Unite to form my soul’s stronghold.

terest to all:
MAKE DRESS
TO SAVE MONEY
Does it pay to make dresses at
home?
Mae B. Barton, extension cloth
ing specialist of the Pennsylvania
State University, says U- S- De
partment of Agriculture home
economists have been exploring
this question.
The saving is greater in mak
ing street dresses than making
house dresses. About $5 was sav
ed in' making a dress similar in
style to a $lO ready-made gar
ment. It took about three hours
total time, excluding interrup
tions, to make the dress-
Homemakers must decide in
dividually whether the savings

VARIETY MEATS
COME IN STYLE
Variety meats come in several
styles Tongue comes fresh, can
ned, and pickled. ,
Helen R Denning, extension
nutritionist of the Pennsylvania
State University, suggests sim
mering fresh tongue until tender-
Then slice and serve it’either hot
or cold.
Canned tongue usually is sliced
just as it comes from the can or
served hot with a brown gravy.
Pickled tongue, considered a
delicacy by many folks, usually
is served cold in slices.
