WHEN EGGS ARE SCARCE.
Ways In Which housekeepers Can
Economic In Their Uuse.

The housekeeper expects eggs to be
high at holiday time, just when she
wants to make extra good things. but
to Offset this condition the cold wealth
err allows more sugar and fat in food,
and the lack Of eggs is not quite so
serious as II might be. When eggs
are nearly 40 cents a dozen at the be-
ginning of September, as they were
this year in the large cities, the price
has a decided influence on the daily
menu. The first point in which to be-
gin economy Of eggs is in serving
them as a substitute for meat. Some
thing at less cost can temporarily be
taken by giving the matter a little
thought, although eggs are so staple
n part of the usual breakfast as to
come first to mind.
When eggs are scarce It is not nee
essary to make ten egg sponge or
angel cake: neither is 1t wise TO scrimp
too much by using baking powder to
take the place OF eggs. II a recipe
calls for a certain number, do not take
out one or two and expect to have a
satisfactory result, for the proportion
Of materials has been changed. 1t is
greater wisdom to select n recipe In
which the number Of eggs is smaller.
mo egg cake is seldom satisfactory,
but there are many good cakes made
with but two eggs. Raised hot breads
can for a time take the place of muf-
fms and other breakfast cakes made
with eggs, yet even here 1t may not be
wise to entirely omit them, for a pan
of light. feathery mullins Will all be
eaten, but If made without eggs two
or three of the cakes are likely to be
wasted. 1t takes but a small per cent.
of waste in this way to turn cookery
that was intended TO be very economt
cal into extravaganza.

are sure to contract that tired feel
ing. For some unaccountable reason
the air that they are breathing is the
last cause thought of. Persons SO az
flicted think that they have been
working too hard or have eaten some
thing that did not exactly agree with
them, and the first step is to dose
themselves with medicine. The study
of nature is one of the most neglect
ed. 1t will be -hard to convince a per-
son who suffers from sore throat, ca
tarrh, influenza or kindred complaints
that the cause is the miserable at
mosphere that they are forcing them
selves to breathe, but such is very
often the case. | like TO see plenty
of windows for this reason, If no
other; windows never shut tight,
there is always a crack or two where
pure air may creep in, bat where
windows are plentiful there is an in
ducement to open one even in cold
weather, and this is a greater blessing
than some persons realize. In build.
ing a house the subject of ventilation
should be carefully considered.
Another point that is often over.
looked is in selecting a plan that nd
mits of placing the living rooms and
bedrooms that are used the most on
the south side of the house. The hall,
stairway and some other rooms that
are not use so much may just as we'll
face the north. Sunlight is a great
purifier. The direct rays of the sun
will kill disease germs and it is the
best disinfectant known. Besides
this, bright sunshine induces cheer
~fulness, and a cheerful disposition is
a Godsend in any house.
In this dining-room connection is
made with the pantry. an arrangement
that some housekeepers prefer TO
having a s%ideboard in the dining.
room. 1t provides more room for an
opportunity TO get behind the dishes
to arrange them on the shelves. This
arrangement is for utility, while too
many sideboards are designed more
for looks than convenience. This ar
rangement looks all right, and it has
an additional advantage Of not occu.
pying any space in the room. Twelve
by II feet is a good size and a good
shape for a dinlng-room. IL admits
Of a good, long dining table, without
wasting much room at the sides. A
square dining-room is not so easily
! arranged TO advantage.

Back Stairs.

4 woman who found her steep back
stairs as little ornamental as they
were useful has had them converted
into two closets, one opening out OF
her dining room, the other on the
second floor. The steps were removed
bodily and a glass door opened into
the dining from whore they had
been. The space inside she had pam
eled and rows of shelves were built
in, well up to the ceiling. The lower
mes were used for china and the up
per ones for preserves. A small win
dow cut into the side yard admitted
light into what was really . small
shelf-lined room. The whole cost lit
tie. Upstairs a capacious linen closet
filed in the vacant space.
Another woman who did not wish to
have the stairs actually taken out had
the upper landing converted into a
closet, but left the stairs underneath.
using them from the first floor as a
store closet for brooms, buckets and
the like.

Houses are not as large as they
Used to be, when measured by size
alone. The increasing cost of lum-
Der, labor, and other building eX-
penses have induced many economies,
but %inventing architects have made
that an eight room modern house con-
tains a great deal more -conoveniences
than an eight room house built 20
years ago., although the outside d.
mensions of the older house may be
very much larger. Twenty years
study in this direction has resulted in
many improvements, both in desis-.
| and by way of adding a multitude of
small conveniences.
Formerly little attention was paid
to the spacing of doors and windows,
in order to admit of placing the fur
niture conveniently or artistically.
Only of late has the possibility of a
small house for comfort and conven-
lence been recognized. 1t requires
a space at least four and a half by
six feet to accommodate a good
sized. comfortable bed, and this
space should not be interfered with
by placing windows or doors in the
way. The advancing price of coal
IS another strong argument for a
small house. 1t is easy to be com.

SIMULTANEOUS EASILY MADE.
Set Makes an Acceptable and Suit
able Gift for Bride.

A set of clothes-hangers makes an
acceptable gift for a bride. a traveller
or a college girl. The set consists of
waist and skirt hangers-a dozen OF
each. The best waist-hangers are
those of coppered wire, found at any
furnishing store. They should be
wound with narrow ribbon. finished
with a tiny bow at each shoulder end.
The skirt-hangers are easily made at
home. Take an inch strip of pine
wood. Cut it into eight-inch lengths.
Wind these also with ribbon. Screw
into the middle of the upper edge a
fairly large-sized brass cup-hook, and
two cup-hooks of smaller size near the
ends of the lower edge to hold the
loops of the III t-band. MANY closets
now are provided with a small brass
rod fastened across at a convenient
height. The hangers are hooked on
this. Closets sometimes have a shelf
running across for the entire length.
In 49, case three large cup-hooks can
be screwed to the under side. to hold
any sort of a rod, from brass to broom
stick. 1t is astonishing what a num-
Der of waists and skirts can be hung
without crowding on a rod four feet
long.

Kust Marks.

Linen suits have a way of showing
IN ugly rust mark IN the top Of the
shoulders-from the coathanger upon
which 1t was carefully kept whenever
out of use.
Coathangers should always be COW

or delicate colored things. Little bags
of silk or linen or dimity a be drawn
over the long sides and held in place
by narrow ribbons, tied into pretty
bows. And then, ever If the weather
is damp enough to make everything
rust. the brunt of it won't come upon
