WINDY DAY FOR DOWN QUILTS
Hints that VIII Help to Bring Then
Through the Laundry in
Good Shape.

Cotton comfortables do not wash salts
factorily because the filling knots and
forms hard Jumps. The best plan with
them when soiled is to hang them on a
line in d shower, then when. they are dry
recover, putting the new goods over the
old cover. There will be no real wear to
1t. as the under cover holds the cotton.
Down quilts wash splendidly, but require
a windy day or days for their drying, for
when so treated they will be as light and
fluffy as new. They are washed In the
same way as directed for the wool-filled
comfortables.
AS the edges of down quilts soil first, Sc
is a good plan to bind them either with a
band Of ribbon four or more inches wide
In the pr~edominating color of the spread,
getting the kind that will wash. or a strip
Of silk. This is easily removed n re-
placed. II only the edges are soiled the
band may be used to conceal them, wait
ing a longer time before washing the
cover.
Quilts and comfortables are best hung
on the line singly. so when the line is not
sufficiently high from the ground two may
be used and the quilt spread out or hung
between the two lines, as is convenient.
These articles will not dry when doubled,
so Il is OF no use 20 try. The air must
circulate around them, hence the reason
for hanging them singly.

Fashionable Women Go In
for Furs Instead of Gowns

It early became evident this season that
local women would follow the lead Of New
Workers., Parisians and the rest OF the
well-drsssed and go in for furs instead OF
rich costumes. Every dressy occasion
since the weather has warranted, and
some when the weather has not, has ar
forded ample proof that furs and not
gowns would be emphasized. The elabo-
rate afternoon costume that for several
seasons has been the order at formal aft
ernoon affairs has given way in a sur
prisinR number Of cases to the tailored
costume, but with II are worn furs that
make I'D in pretentiousness all that the
simple costume may lack. As a matter Of
fact many Of these tailored suits do service
for morning shopping and other occasions,
but the furs represent a small fortune.
They are fairly extravagant in many cases.
The furs will be by far the most elaborate
part of several OF the trousseaus this win
ter and instead Of the handsome carriage
costumes with the beautiful carriage coat
that was the vogue not long ago, the rich
fur motor coat has come in to delight all
who can afford II and make the rest mis-
erable with envy. Some Of these are made
full length Of sealskin, broadtah or pony
skim. AS for the shoulder and hand pieces
the muffs have grown huge and the collars
proportionately smaller.

Caring for House Plants

- WING plants too much water
is one OF the principal rea-
80 sons why many persons
~ cannot make them thrive in
- doors during the winter.
says a florist For while all potted
roots require an even moisture, con-
sant wetness will cause roots to rot;
an ever dampness is likely. other o n
ditions being favorable, 10 make them
thrive.
II Is probable that plants potted by
florists will be correctly done, which
e drainage is left at the bottom,
For over the hole a bit OF broken
pottery Is laid. which will hold in the
SOIL while permitting superfluous
water TO run off. This will equalize
moisture II water is put on every day;
that is, too great wetness will be
prevented.
Under no condition must a root be
put into a metal receptacle or in any
vessel through which there is no
chance for water to evaporate. All
vases must be in pottery that is made
for the purpose, for without such
evaporation the plants cannot thrive.
Pots themselves may be placed in
fancy receptaeles OF brass, copper or
wEre. without the slightest injury to
roots.
Attention must be given daily, how
ever, that water is not left standing
in the bottom OF such jars, for should

A bright red apple is always a pretty re-
ceptacle for a salad mixture. but this has
been rather frowned upon by some house
wives on account of the difficulty in keep
ing the apple free from dlscoloration when
exposed to the air for any length of time.
One ingenious woman successfully met this
difficulty by using no apple in the filling
and, at the top, where there was any
chance of The brown appearance Of the
apple spelling the effect of her salad, she
lined the cavity with a lettuce leaf and
arranged a few smaller leaves at the open
ing for decoration. None of the apple pulp
showed, the mixture with which it was
filed being a delicious one of chopped
cabbage with a boiled cream dressing. Very
appropriately the apple may stand on a
small and carefully selected cabbage leaf,
curled so as to form almost a perfect shell
outline.
A tempting arrangement of fresh toma-
toes is this: Place three slices in a row
on a flat bed Of lettuce leaves. having the
center slice larger than the end ones. The
large slice should be crossed diagonally
with a couple Of bright green string beans
with a dot of m~ayonnaise at the intersec-
ton. On the smaller slices place an olive
stuffed with red pepper, such as are bought
in small bottles for as low as Is cents. The
olives should stand on end, so as to sh Nv

SWEETMEATS FOR CHRISTMAS
Inexpensive Gift that Should Please

An attractive box that will please your
wealthiest friend may be made by filling an
appropriate box with the following stuffed
fruits and nuts: Take the pulled, that is,
the whole figs, and pour boiling water over
them, letting them stand until cool enough
to handle. This cleans and plumpens them.
Cut half way round length of fig and push
sides out to make nice cavity line very
thin with fondant and fill with chopped
nuts English walnuts or pecans) and close
edges by laying a small roll Of fondant
the length Of cut. These stuffed figs are
delicious.
a the best layer raisins and cut into
small clusters. leaving on the stems as
much as possible. Cut the raisin from
stem to stem and remove seeds, place
a piece Of pecan nut meat in seed cavity
and close with fondant, which to give
variety may be colored pink or green or
any color one chooses.
DO not plar to fix too nan of these,
for each box, for It is tedious work, though
the result fully repays the labor. Stuffed
dates may be added II one wishes, Fill
odd spaces and corners with sugared pc
cans made by cooking one cup of sugar
and ~one-quater cup of water one minute
after It boils, then add the nut meats,
and stir continually until they sugar

Woman's Work
Activities OF the Organised
Bodies Along the Lines Of IN
dertaking Of Concern to Women.

One OF the most important events in
state club circles in many years is the
application made last week by the Home
Economics association for membership on
the Nebraska Federation OF Women's
clubs. Mrs. w. G. Whitmore of Valley is
president Of the home economics assocl-
alton, which was organized three years
ago and is also chairman of the household
economies committee of the State Fedora
lion of clubs. About 100 women are en-
rolled in the former organization which
mas been worked up under difficulties, but
which is gradually and surely gaining
strength. The members are the wives Of
farmers and have come together at meet
ngs auxiliary to the sessions OF Organized
Agriculture held in January Of eachs year
at the state farm at Lincoln. Miss Rosa
Bouton Of the domestic science depart
ment Of the University Of Nebraska has
had a material part in effecting and foster
ing the women's organization and both she
and Mrs. Whitmore are hopeful Of wide
results from it. It's object is practically
what is hoped for by the commission on
country life and its recent alliance with
the State Federation Of Women's clubs
promises to materially strengthen its work.
The state teachers association will prob
ably also be asked TO cooperate and can
undoubtedly contribute |sluable assistance.
The home, the school ara the club are th,,
alliance that has accomplished so muSn In
every community and 1t is hoped to bring
these three into closer association in the
rural districts, 1t is Mrs. Whltmore's hone
to organize In every school district, four
such organizations already being In exist
ence. The men, too, must have an impor-
tant part in these organizations. In the
several country women's clubs OF Nebraska
men have figured conspicuously as auxiliary
or associate members. Discussing the Dur.
poses Of the association. Mrs. whitmore
said: we realize that unless some element
Of sociability enters into IL life OF the farm
is likely TO become monotonous and it is
the aim OF the association to provide a
social system that shall be at once edu-
eating, uplifting and a force to hold young
men and women on the farms"
The success OF such a plan has been
demonstrated admirably in several country
women's clubs and in the alliance Of the
two state organizations the club women,
with their wider experience in organization,
will be Of material assistance In organizing
the country women. Mrs. f. H. Cole, pres
ident Of the state federation, is giving the
most hearty cooperation.
Discussing IL, she said; 80 many of our
cidb women in the towns OF the state and
on our farms are college women. As many
Of the have lived on farms,
they are especially fitted TO assist in the
country organizations"
