IS an expensive household indeed which
has no repertoire al cheaper dishes. A
beef's heart or a praised calfs liver
makes an excellent and economical
change. Broiled sleeps kidneys, with
a little bacon, give Il good at a
cost of ten cents. Smothered beef, which
may be made from the tough end of the
rump steak, is appetizing. and only costs
half the price OF an equal food-value OF.
tenderloin steak.
The housekeeper should go to market
early and buy only the best materials.
They keep longer and go farther than
the inferior ones. Perishable food should
he bought in small quantities two or three
times a week. Groceries enough to last
q month should be laid in. Canned goods
and conserved sweets should be bought
sparingly. Meat is always a most ex-
pensive article, and not a particle of it
should be allowed 10 go to waste
Already the Russian blouse costume
has appeared and it is the most chic
costume in town.
The Russian blouse, to be correct in
design, must be made with what is tech
nically known as a skirt. This skirt or
BASQUE varies greatly in length. In
many of the evening bodices it consists
merely of a short frill while in some
of the winter coats i. measures ten
inches in length. The blouse is made
with both a full. loose back and a tight
fitting coat back.
Such gorgeousness as some of these
! Russian blouse coats display. One of
the most effective models is of red mel
ton cloth almost entirely covered with
narrow bands of black satin worked in
an intricate design. Down the front of
| the blouse coat is alb and of black Per-
sian lamb. and the high collar and the
| edging of the cuffs is formed of the
same fur.
The velvet Russian blouse is also in
favor. 1t is seen both as a coat and
waist in velvet.
In fur wraps the Russian blouse is also
conspicuous.
But it is in the evening gowns that one
gets a glimpse of the Russian blouse
idealized. Here it is not SO correct in de-
sign, but it is altogether charming. 1t
is jeweled and bedecked with flowers and
is most bewitching. Sometimes the blouse
front is a mass of fluffy ruffIes or the
blouse effect is obtained by jeweled

The success of Rita Wildwood, a one
time stenographer in a law office. as a
! coffee planter in Hawaii will probably
lead many more young women to follow
in her steps. Miss Wildwood is twenty
three years old and incidentally is the
richest woman coffee planter on the Ha-
waiian Islands.

thousand dollar legacy that she was saw

She heard of the coffee plantation pos

risk the funeral and invest her capital.
She/induced her brother, who had an
equal capital, to join with her. In Hawaii
they took up 260 acres of land at 81 an
acre. A friend of theirs with some ex-
p~erience in coffee growing Joined them.
Within two years they have all made
the venture pay. Miss Wildwood expects
to be earning an annual income of s1o,o 600
at the end of four years.
