HOUSEHOLD TOPICS

How many housekeepers think to
have holder on a strong hanging
from your waist line when in tho
kitchen. Make a holder of some thick
washable material. To one corner
fasten a white tape about one yard
long. Tie or pin the other end of tape
to your apron belt, and 1t is always
there ready to use. This will save
many steps
It is easy for a woman wage-earner
to understand why the average man
lives in such horror of the social even
ing. With the hurlyburly of business.
talking with many people, the nervous
strain and the noise OF traffic, the
quiet home looks very pleasant. If
the adored one cannot be dragged out
of the house. why not let him stay in d?
If you don't want to leave him you
can remain with him. That's easy.
Buy some bright, clever books and
read to him. Take I'D a9course of
study If his inclinations are that way.
You can get to your tea fights and
card parties in the afternoon.
What to do with ones best and
most beautiful centerpieces has long
been trying problem to many house
keepers. Rolls of stiff pasteboard,
satin covered at each end and silk
covered on all sides, are shown, with
a beautiful cover of silk or satin, to be
tied with narrow ribbons. The center
piece is smoothly rolled over the stiff
cardboard and can thus be perfectly
kept clean and free from dust when
the cover is tied in place. One recent
ly seen was Of pale pink moire, ex-
quisitely embroidered in the new rib
bon embroidery.

W @ M AN KIND
TEACHES GIRLSHOW
TOLOOK THEIR BEST

certain Eastern physical culture
teacher is busy teaching girls how to
walk. stand and manage their clothes.
Il teach them how to look their
BEST" said She. 1T is a hard Job, for
most of them come TO me in the raw
state, bad complexion and bad walk.
Il get girls ready to be bridesmaids.
and not long ago 1 prepared young
woman to be maid of honor at a we'd
ding. 1 taught her how to walk, how
to stand. how to sit. and how to stoop
over. These things all come under
the head of physical culture.
'"The training of the back is the most
important Of our tasks. There is a
new carriage for the back, and I am
teaching it to my society pupils.
II train the girls to be wedding
guests. This means a proper man
agement of a train. The girl who
wears trained gown must be nimble
with her heels. OF course, it is not
considered polite to kick ones train.
Yet this is exactly what girl is com
PEELED to do. She must learn to kick
it so that the kick is invisible, how
ever.
For the woman who is going to
adopt the new long skirt-a little long
er than convenient walking length
there are some suggestions. If your
skirt is very .fashionable-two inches
too long in front--practice walking
with a glide. Touch the ball of your
foot first, then gradually sink upon
your heels. This gives you the gliding
carriage. One hand must slightly lift
your gown in front. teach my
pupils how to handle their elbows.
They must use them prettily and de-
liberately. and they must learn to hold
them easiiy"
