The mother who is wise throws open
her home to her children's friends.
| One very lonely woman said recently
that she never learned to be informal
| and to make friends quickly because
when she was Il child her mother never
allowed her to bring her little friends il
her home after school. At stated inter
walls the mother would give children's
parties, models of formality, but wher
the little ones wanted good time they
went TO some other girls house: conse
quently she never really had any init
! mate friends.
Such thing as inviting a schoolmate
to stay overnight, in particular, was
simply unheard of What a mistake
| that is! One mother who prides herself
on retaining the love Of her children as
we'll as their confidence never refuses
them any entertainment they may plan
for their friends. Sometimes they write
from school they want to bring home
half a dozen little friends for holiday
and the house is taxed to overlooking
but this wise mother does not stand or
ceremony and provides room somehow
for them all.
AS a result she is tremendously popu-
| lar, not only with her own, but with
! the other children as well, to the envy
of other mothers not as unselfish and
| sensible as she is.
Another mother with grown sons has
fitted up den Tor them, where they
may receive their friends without inter
ference from the rest of the family.
! They hold club meetings there, play
games, and do as they please. In the
house there is a billiard room, where
the father and boys have a good time
with their acquaintance and smoke and
are thoroughly comfortable.
The father and mother are both in
terested in all their sons amusements
| and plans. They take them seriously
and help them all they can. 1t is the
same way with the girls, only the boys
are the ones who are usually the most
left out in the cold
Children who are we'll treated in this
way will never wander in the streets or
cause sorrow to their parents, for home
is the most attractive place on earth to
them.

1t is pleasing to note how the exag-
gerated types of dress over here have
gradually circled to the background,
and in the Capitalization of autumn
modes grace of line and artistic coloring
have triumphed. Beauty and conserva-
tism are well combined by the best
modistes, and if woman buys an ex-
tremely bizarre gown she must thank
herself only. Never before were so many
handsome models displayed for the
edifcation of foreigners, and when
shown. as they usually are, on the man
nequins conversion is generally the re-
suit.
One feature which ought to be wei
coined by women is the incorporation
of net and lace in collar and guimpe.
1t appears on nearly all frocks and is
less trying to the wearer than color.
Tiny ruffles of valenciennes give full
ness and intensity the ecru or white of
the lace. Braid is frequently used to
carry the color of the frock to the
throat. but the delicate foundation is
insisted upon by our Parisenne.

A pretty piece of copper in which a

| For lobster cn0Wder such as Maine
housewives make, cut the meat of good

part of the lobster with a couple of table
spoonfuls of butter and a couple OF
era ckers. Scald a quart of milk with
half a small onion and just before it bOlls
remove the onion and stir IN the green
lobster mixture. Meanwhile let the shells
cook for fifteen minutes in water enough
to cover them. Strain off the liquor and
add it and the lobster dice to the milk
mixture. Add salt and paprika to taste
| Speaking of guimpes, fashion writer
dwells upon the important place they iii
| in the bodice of this seasons dress. Ihe
| tiny yokes, which sometimes seem to be
merely an extension Of the collar, are
| frequently made of net, braided IN de-
signs. Jet is used on black, appearing
/ in lines or heavily embroidered. Many
net foundations have chain stitching in
colors; in other guimpes a solid design III
dull shades, with perhaps one brilliant
note, gives richness to the foundation.
One beautiful guimpe has foundation
of gray net upon which an embroidered
vine trails. Velvet leaves are applIqued,
and the effect is a handsome combination
which, by the way, can be made at home
by any clever woman.
Among the new buttons are those
made of wood, finely polished and eX-
quisitely inlaid The designs are often
| quite unusual, both as to coloring and
| form.
Silver and celluloid bodkins may be
had in sets now. and a set makes a gift
valued by those who like dainty lingerie.
The ribbons for lingerie come in such
varying widths that it really is quite
essential to have the bodkins OF various
sizes to use.
In putting trimming on curved seams,
it is often little difficult to have it per-
fectly fiat, and if darts are made they
are unsightly. There is really but one
way to put on trimming neatly. Basic
the trimming into place, distributing the
fulness as evenly as possible. linen
continue with row after row of bastlng
until the trimming is firmly sewed INTO
position from one edge to the other: ms
done. cover with a very damp cloth and
the trimming to tit the curve. The bast-
ings may be pulled out save at the outer
edges where stitching is necessary. 1t IS
we'll to snip off all knots in the thread
before pressing, otherwise they may
leave tell-tale marks.
The custom was in the days of our
grandmothers and even further back
than that. to have the wedding silver
marked with the initials of both bride
and groom. The two sets of letters US
ually separated by a dash, or. perhaps,
the word "and" was engraved between
them. Still another way was to combine
the initials of the Christian names OF the
bride and groom, with the initial letter
of the groom's last name. This custom
as well as the other fell into disuse. and
for a long time it has been considered
proper to have the brides initials only
appear on the wedding gifts. Today,
however. the pendulum is swinging back.
and once more the initials of both bride
and groom are appearing.

ing. that sacred emblem of centuries
# lovers and loveresses is hard to
.,rophesy. The bracelet as first made
or this purpose was a plain gold chain,
fastened with tiny paddock, which was
'pened by pressing i small spring. Tie
ingenious lover conceived the idea OF
illng off the spring. SO that the brace
let once put OH, could not afterward be
removed. 1t is unchanging affection. An
other interesting idea is to have a tiny
Aey. The lover locks his lady in, as it
were. and transfers the key to his own
watchchain. 1t is but another proof that
romance springs eternal, ETC., no matter
how much it is tramped upon III this
material world.
One of the satisfactions of the rainy
day in autumn is the opportunity it Of
fers for the accomplishment OF long
promised tasks i'll comparative quiet. This
is the day of all others when we rather
resent the visit which we choose to call
/ IAN interruption
Each busy housewife and home seam
stress has her own way of preparing for
| this quiet family day, whose hours
lengthen out delightfully."- while the rain
drops patter on the porch roof just out
side the sewing room windows.
One resOurceful woman has disclGstd
her little secret. which is the pre-ar-
ranged sewing basket. She has planned
out and cut into every available gar
ment in the belief THAT their accomplish
ment is practically assumed on the com
ing rainy day, is they have had this adj
vance beginning.
Sewing often is pushed aside and i'll
| definitely delayed for very want of a
good beginning, and one of our needle
women tells us that her plan is to use the
rainy day itself for countless beginnings.
This has a systematic and businesslike
ring. and many a woman who feels that
quiet should reign undisturbed for the
monotonous beginning of the long
dreamed-of garment will adopt this rat
| ter plan.

II have been doing a little experiment
ing in the cleaning line said wide
awake woman. Il had three wooden
| dress skirts that, apparently, had served
| their days of usefulness. However, as
| the material was still in excellent condi-
itself to present-day modes, decided to
see. if L could not clean the much
stained garments.
81 knew if l used gasoline in sufficient
quantity to wash the skirts more would
be required than my purse would per-
nit. | bethought myself of a combina-
ton of naphtha soap and gasoline. L
took a small tub that l could set in my
kitchen sink. l filled it, adding enough
warm water to the cold to remove the
chill They l made it very soapy-look-
ing with the naphtha soap. To this suds
| added a pint of gasoline, being careful,
of course, to keep my gasoline far away
from fire.
Having carefully marked the worst
spots on my skirt I plunged it into the
tub. I rubbed the offending spots merci-
lessIy and washed the entire skirt as
we'll as 1 knew how. Then [ dripped the
garment as we'll as possible, patted out
ali moisture 1 could, and, emptying the
tub. filled it with tepid water, adding a
cupful of gasoline. The water soon be-
came discolored, so | again took fresh
water. By the time I had rinsed the gar
ment the third time the water was clear
and the skirt-well it looked like new.
Not a spot was to be seen, and when 1t
had hung out of doors and dried 1t really
made me rejoice
1T did not take me long to decide to
follow suit with the other skirts. The
result is that l have three skirts lmmac-
uiately clean and ones which, with few
hours work. will be presentable TOR

For a small sum a luncheon or dinner
table may be made exceedingly attrac-
tive if jar or vase of flowers is placed
in the center. Failing those, when the
income must be considered, fruit is a
good substitute. and a dish of oranges Is
bv no means to be despised, even as a
centerpiece for dinner.
The fruit should be put into a glass,
silver or fancy bowl. As green adds
enormously to their decorative effect,
an effort should be made to get it, and
if the cost of buying at florist
makes it prohibitive, one should try
fruit dealers, for almost all fruits that
are boxed from wholesalers have green
leaves as trimming. Mountain laurel
is frequently used by them. and for 10
cents one should secure two or three
sprays.
The leaves may be stripped off and
placed among the interstices of the
whole oranges. They will keep for sew
eral days.
Asparagus vine is never expensive,
and a fancy bowl of this in the center
of the table is ornamental. The addi-
ton of a rather large bow of bright
red satin ribbon. tucked among the
sprays. will greatly increase the warmth
of effect.
The new engagement ring is not a ring
at all. but a bracelet. The betrothal
bracelet has made its appearance, and

lowing toast to the farmer:
Here's to the poor farmer! How
can he have very merry time when
he has nothing to live in but q big
house, nothing to shelter his horses
but q very warm barn, nothing to
eat except everything that grows in
the ground or can be bought at the
store. no way to get his mail except
having 1t brought to him every day
by = smiling carrier. who will soon
be wearing Uncle Sans uniform,
with shinging brass buttons, no way
to get to town but with rubber
tired buggy or auto, no way to make
money but by selling 50-cent corn
IS cent butter. IS hogs. ~ cent eggs
and have his farm double in price
every once in . while. While you
don't forget to drop few tears for
the poor down-trodden farmer man.
