PONIES FOR CHILDREN.

Children three years of age are not
too young to be seen taking their first
lessons in riding on the fat, comfortable
backs of Shetland ponies, while
the young whip of six, with his tiny
cart and proud citation of ownership,
may be seen on any neighborhood
street or country lane known to the
reader trundling along behind the will
ing little trot of this most docile of
quadrupeds. The size of the Shetland,
his extreme lovableness, strength,
hardness and endurance all combine to
make him first in the hearts of the
children, and for that reason a young
parsonage of decided prestige and mar
ket value. There is something appeal
ing not only to the child, but to the
adult as Jwell, in the perfect conforma-
ton and poise of these tiny creatures,
and it does not take long to establish
a bond of friendliness between the
youngster and the diminutive Sheltie
that he can ride and harness like
real horse, play with like a dog and
coax into the sitting room after sugar;
even pick up in his arms when the pony
is a leggy midget in early colthood
days. The writer has frequently seen
a little girl of ten or eleven years swoop
down sans ceremonie on a young Shet-
land colt in a field and coddle him up in
her arms like a baby.

I that is ready prepared invariably will
have scraps and trimmings put in it,
One reason for the common habit of
ordering is given by a housekeeper in
the fact that in the majority of
markets the fresh goods are not
brought up until nearly noon, and this
leaves the housekeeper no time to mar
ket but in the middle of her day. To
this is attributed the crowding of mar
kets just before dinner, when it takes
an almost impossible time to get wait
ed on.
1t is on the buying of ready made
foods that the greatest loss is believed
to be found, both in money and nutri-
ton. Says Mrs Smith:
Ready made cakes, pies, and almost
all ready made foods are only an imi
tat!on. They look beautiful and appe-
tizing on the outside, but did you ever
eat anything in your life bought in
this way that was not a disappoint-
ment? In too many cases they are
made of materials that we would not
employ in our homes.

HOW WOMEN
WASTE MILLIONS

| Chicago housekeepers waste nearly
$500, 100000 every year. The exact fig
ures, taken from commercial reports
and the percentages of waste ca1culat-
| ed by domestic science experts, show
| that $193, 100000 is lost annually by
careless buying. unscientific cooking
and other domestic extravagances.
| The School of Domestic Science sums
up the causes under several heads.
Among these the half dozen following
are selected by the Chicago Tribune as
| the most prominent:
| l. Buying provisions by order and
telephone instead of seeing them
| 2 Buying prepared foods.
| 3. Buying fruits and vegetables out
| of season.
4. Taking goods as offered by deal
ers instead of insisting on quantities,
brands. and cuts wanted
5. Loss on weight, wrappings and at
| tractive glasses, cans, etc, in which
food is put up
6. Lack of expert knowledge of cuts
of meat and of how to cook least ex-
pensive things to bring out food values
anu SOOu ldSte
THE thing which the average house
keeper figures upon as most important
now is her time" said Miss Lyford of
the School of Domestic Science. when
she buys so as to save this she has
to figure against it not only loss of
money, but loss of nourishment. Ag"'-
you have to figure if it isn't better to
spend more money to get more nourish-
ment.''
Two women were talking of the little
chicken pies that are bought at the
delicatesSen shop.
They are only IS cents and one a.
piece is plenty said the first house
keeper. But the crust is greasy and
not nourishing, and besides we have
been used to having a great dish of
chicken pie from which We would fill
up our plates couple of times at
least, and each time more than the
whole of your one little pie
Of the gain in the old-fashioned plan
of going to market instead of ordering
by telephone or by the order boy. the
women of the school canot speak too
strongly. Said Mrs. Wagley, the secre-
tary:
1T is matter of fact that your roast
will cost more if you order it than it
does if you see it weighed. Your butch
er may prove perfectly honest and you
may have him for years and years and
not find fault if you go and get your
things yourself. The minute you begin
to order, however, the total of your
weeks bill will be higher.
Another advantage of going is that
if your butcher does not happen to have
the cut you want, you simply and east
ly can walk to another place without
any talk or argument about it. Many |
do not do this, but it is the
most logical thing in the world to do. |
You ask for a certain thing, he says |
ne hasn't it. You say nothing, but go |
TO another place to get what You have |
decided upon
One of the things which Mrs. WagIey
considers it absolutely indispensable TO
see cut is hamburger steak, which she
'ays should be cut off as wanted and
put through the grinder. The kind

A good way to mend a round hole In
a silk or wooden dress where otherwise
only patch could remedy matters is
the following: The frayed portions
around the tear should be carefully
smoothed and a piece of the material,
moistened with very thin mucilage,
placed under the hole. A heavy weight
should then be put upon it until dry,
when it is only possible to discover the
mended place by careful observation.

Good Things
to Eat

The following recipes have all been
tried and are recommended to house
wives:
MACARONI WITH CHEESE.
This is an easily prepared and whole
some luncheon dish. In selecting maca-
roni choose that having a yellowish
color-that which has blanched, white
appearance is decidedly inferior-and
remember in cooking it increases in
quantity about fourfold. Cook in a
quantity Of sailed boiling water until
1T yields easily to pressure between the
fingers, drain in a colander. and cover
with cold water until needed. Put in
saucepan one tablespoonful of butter
and two of flour: stir them together
over the fire until they form a smooth,
thick paste; add half a pint of boiling
milk and stir briskly; If thicker than

pings or cottolene and butter and two
teaspoonfuls of cooking soda or salera-
tus. Fill the cup two-thirds full of hot
water and add to the moIasses, stirring
carefully, keeping the mixture away
from the side of the bowl. Put in more
flour If needed. to make it stiff enough
to turn out onto the kneading board.
If you like hard gingerbread knead In
more flour. This makes excellent cook
les 1t is equally as good put away in
q cool place and baked as needed. A

DROP CAKES.
One-half cup butter, one cup sugar,
two-thirds cup sweet milk, yolk of one
egg, one teaspoonful soda and two tea

ingredients together and stir enough to !

cookie.
