WHEN EGGS ARE SCARCE.
Ways in Which Housekeepers Can
Economize 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
er allows more sugar and fat in food,
and the lack of eggs is not quite SO
serious as it might be. When eggs
are nearly 40 cents 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 substitute for meat. Some
thing at less cost can temporarily be
taken by giving the matter little
thought, although eggs are so staple
a part of the usual breakfast as 10
come first to mind.
When eggs are scarce it is not nee
essary to make ten egg sponge or
angel cake; neither is it wise to scr1mp
too much by using baking powder 10
take the place Of eggs. If recipe
calls for 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 a recipe IN
which the number of eggs is smaller
"No 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 it may not he
wise to entirely omit them, for pan
of light, feathery mullins will all he
eaten, but if made without eggs two
or three of the cakes are likely to be
wasted. It takes but small per cent.
of waste in this way to turn cookery
that was intended to be very economi-
cal into extravaganza.

sKiRT.HANeERs 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 college girl. The set consists OF
waist and skirt hangers 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 tiny bow at each shoulder end.
The shrt-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 skirt-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 shelf
running across for the entire length.
In that case three large cup-hooks can
be screwed to the under side, to hold
any sort of a rod, from brass to broom
stick. It is astonishing what a num-
ber of waists and skirts can be hung
without crowding on rod four feet
long.

Tho Eleven Lost Days.

The II days from September 3 to
Is inclusive are memorable for hav-
ing once been entirely omitted from
the calendar of the Anglo-Saxon world.
The sGregorian calendar was not
adopted by the British empire until
1871. long after most other nations of
the civilized world had conformed
with It. In that year an act of parlia-
ment prescribed that the next year,
1852. should begin on January 1. in.
stead of on March 25, as had previous
" been the rule, and that in the fol-
lowing September these II days should

complished as well under one calen.
da-ial style as another. It may be
observed that, while Gregory dropped
only ten days from 1852, II days had
to 20 from 1852, and Russia would
have to drop Is from 1906 to square
her dates with the rest Of the world.

unions should be taking very great

workman.

each to help on the work of Ruskin

HAD IT ALL FIGURED OUT.

Lord Sholto Douglas, who was ar

II admit that their calculations were

one night that she was going to marry
pesniless man.

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 used so much may just as well
face the north. Sunlight is great

will kill disease germs and it is the
best disinfectant known. Besides
this, bright sunshine induces cheer

In this dining-room connection Is
made with the pantry, an arrangement
that some housekeepers prefer to
having a sideboard in the dining
room. It 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

shape for a dining-room. It admits
Of good, long dining table, without

Back Stairs.

A 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 room from where they had
been. The space inside she had pam
eled and rows of shelves were built
in, we'll up to the ceiling. The lower
ones 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
filled 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.
