Luncheon Breaks Up Day for Women
and Children,

Luncheon has become an American
institution, and has come to stay. II
is, to most women, the pleasantest
meal of the day, even when partaken
OF at home, with none present but
the children" and the grown women
of the household. II breaks up the
monotony OF daily tasks II is eaten
without furry or hurry, because with
little ceremony. Pickup dishes and
accidental entrees figure conspicuous
ly in the menu-things for which
men, as a rule, care little and their
wives and daughters much. Tea and
toast, cake and preserves can be en-
joyed without fear of bantering com
ment, and a harmless dash OF gossip
can be uncovered without provoking
severe structures.
The family luncheon Is the best me-
dunn I know OF for acquiring the val
liable French art Of connecting entrees
out of "left-overs."
Some Johns have rooted dislike
for made dishes"-a prejudice which,
l may remark. adds sensibly to the
sum OF household expenses. It would
double them but for the canny house
wife's use Of cold cuts and scraps for
the midday meal "just for the chill
dren and myself"
Women don't cook for themselves
But for the saving clause, "the chill.
dren," our economist would starve her
self upon toast and tea. Being a moth

soups, savory stews and relishful com
positions OF fish and vegetables out OF
most unpromising materials. uncon-
sciously becoming a culinary artist.

WAY TO MAKE NEAT HEM.
Accomplishment Few Women Seem TO
Have at Command.

II Is really surprising how few wo-
men know how to make a neat hem.
although this was considered a neces.
sary accomplishment In the days Of
our grandmothers. II Is used TO finish
the raw edges of goods and Il is most
important that Il be evenly and neatly
turned down. always turn II toward
you. To do this. turn down one.quar.
ter of an inch all along the edge and
basic II on the crease with even bast.
ing stitches
Take stiff piece OF cardboard and
mark on II the exact width OF the
hem. Place the edge OF the creased
cardboard at the creased edge OF the
goods and mark the desired width
with a thread, using the short and
long basting stitch. Fold the hem on
this line of thread and haste TO the
material along the upper edge with an
even basting In hemming do not use
a knot. Hold the hem across the end
OF the forennger Of the left hand.
Point the needle toward you. 10 the
right, and insert IL under the edge OF
the hem close to the right hand. Draw
the needle through. leaving an end
OF the thread to be tucked under the
edge.
To begin the hemming stitch, point
the needle toward the middle OF the
left thumb and take up one thread OF
the cloth and the same OF the fold. To
have the thread slant IN the right d.
rection. see that each time stitch is
taken that the needle points directly
across the middle OF the left thumb.
To have the hem appear well when
finished care must be taken TO have
the distance between each stitch ex.
actly the same Exchange.

other bottles and compare results
which soil takes in water most rapid.
lyY Which is the most porous? What
happens to the less porous soils when
heavy shower of rain comes? How
can soil be made porous? Repeat
the experiment with one OF the soils,
packing the soil tightly in one bottle
and leaving II loose in the other. What
is the effect Of packing? Does this
have any bearing on farm practice?
Which soil has the greatest capa-
city for water-that is, which could
take in the heaviest shower This

The difference between the weight OF
the dry soil and that OF the wet soil
is the weight of water stored. During
the time that the bottles are dripping,
which may lake several days, they
should be covered to prevent evapora-

Shocking Wheat.-I find the best
way to shock wheat is to set up six
sheaves. then hug the tops together
and put one sheaf on top for n cap by
spreading apart well, declares a CORE

oats up the same. only make the shock
so as to be long; that is. only two
sheaves side by side. and cap the same
as the wheat. A stack should be built
round commencing in the middle to
lay the sheaves and keep the middle
the highest all the time.
