ECONOMY In LAVISENE>S

From Harper's Bazaar.
When you are furnishing your pantry
bear in mind that it is sometimes poor
economy to save money. Be little
lavish in pots and pans, bowls and
spoons. Your strength is your capital.
Do not squander it by doing without
what you need in the way of utensils,
DR. wear yourself out washing them
again and again in the course of one
mornings work because you have an
o'er-scant supply of necessary vessels.
There are plenty of homes where the
abundant food served on handsome
china is prepared by the cook with
difficulty because of insufficient uten-
sis. A visit to such kitchens would
reveal makeshifts that are usually as
ISOLATED with poverty. Cake and pud-
dings mixed in soup-tureen or vege-
table dish in default of regular mix
ing bowls, bread set to rise in a dish
pan tor lack of breakdown, left-overs
set away in the handsome china dishes
in which they came from the table be-
cause there are not kitchen plates and
cups to hold them, WORKOUT chopping-
bowls, leaky measuring-cups, dented
and dingy tins, and general down
nt-heel" condition of affairs
This is not always the fault of the
mistress Often it happens that she
has provided all the essentials, and the
carelessness of her servants has
brought about the dearth and disor-
der. Unless she goes into the kitchen
regularly, and looks well to the ways
of her pantries, she must expect that
loss and breakages will pass unreport-
ed. The woman who does more or less
of her own cooking will be spared this
annoyance, at least
The best ware for pots and pans is
usually of agate. although it is difficult
to find a make that will not crack or
scale. The blue porcelain-lined YES

crowd TO make the nominating speech.

DO MEN LIKE FIArrzRY,

From the Chicago Tribune.
Two girls were walking rapidly down
the street in whirl of talk.

That's very sly in you! You hatter
the men and let them smoke-thats
why they adore you so vehemently."
The short girl ignored the latter part
of this sentence and asked:

man, my dear?"

degree of compressed sarcasm which

''Oh, no; their minds are occupied

That is not my experience, for

other, that it is women who live on
