Keeping Up Supplies

The convenience and time-saving Of
having little things at hand can scarce
ly be overestimated. It works exactly
on the same principle as the old saying
of "a stitch in time
It IS not enough to have place for
everything, and everything you
happen to be out Of tin its place. It 8
the careful planning so that plentiful
supplies Of all the little things are al
ways on hand that counts SO greatly.
So often you haven't the right but
tons; or you run short of tape, or hooks
and eyes, or the color of sewing silk
you need, and you have to postpone the
moment you'd seized for getting all such
things out Of The way. In the mean
time, before you we remembered to get
the little things, perhaps you have to
wear the very thing that needed mend
ing, and pins have torn it. It's the
same way with everything.
Making things do is almost as bad
using too small hook to bear the
strain Of skirt-fastening; or too large
a one for the delicate blouse it disfg-
ures.
The best way to avoid it is to 90
over, at periodic times, all your sup
plies, making a note Of everything
you're almost out of, and replenishing
it at an early moment.

1HYHE CARE of toilet brushes should
be systematic and thoro. The
following method is said to prove
IL most satisfactory: Dissolve two
tablespoonfuls Of borax in little
boiling water; add this to two quarts of
the water being just deep enough to
cover the bristles. A pie dish is con-
venient. Beat the water with the
brush by dabbing it up and down, TAX
E ing care that the back of the brush is
mot wetted.
To keep the bristles a good color and
prevent them from becoming soft, rinse
thoroly with cold water. Tie bit of
string to the handle and dry after well
but if it is dried in the house do not

bristles may SINCE and the wood warp.

This is the season Of the year when
sunfowers, goldenrod and the glorious
golden glow are in their prime Moth
ing could be more gorgeous than these
decorations for an afternoon tea, a
luncheon or even for reception. Fill
jars, wall pockets and all available re-
ceptacles with these brilliant flowers;
tie great punches Of them to the porch
pillars and bank the freplaces. Place
the punch bowl inside large tin bread
pan which has been covered with green
paper; inside the circle, between the
bowl and pan, place sunfowerg. thus
making a wreath Of glory beautiful to
behold. Have a fruit lemonade or

zen, which comes on Oct. 81, becomes
more and more popular. The dinner
described below was given for ten
guests, who were most enthusiastic
over the novelty Of the affair. Jack-o'-
lanterns and candles made the only
lights and the effect was weird enough.
The "jackso stood on top Of china
cabinets, serving table, and taborets
placed in the corners Of the rooms; in
terspersed were candles in sticks made
from carrots, turnips and potatoes.
The table centerpiece was a JACKIE >
lantern with face cut on all four
sides, so the light was evenly distrib-
uted over the table. Around this
candles were placed in holders made
from carrots, fiat turnips and potatoes.
Beautiful autumn leaves were laid on
the tablecloth, interspersed with
dainty vines. Small Brownie figures
bore the name card on which was writ
ten % This season Of the year, is to the
Brownie Is heart most dear. -
The unique menu cards were made
by the hostess, each being different
in decoration. Cards Of white, ten
inches long, five inches wide, were
used. On one Of these at irregular
intervals were pumpkins, which had
been cut out and pasted on. Another
had autumn leaves, brownies formed
another ornamentation and cabbages
graced one card. lIn olden times
