Playing Hockey Has No Attraction
for Our Busy Summer School Pupils
With No Rod in Sight They Are
Breaking All Attendance
Records.

" on will find a visit to one of the
many summer schools of the city
most interesting these days, despite the
frizzling, sizzling heat of the streets.
Enter n of the buildings and you
will be greeted with a pleasant medium
sized smile from the teacher, and a
series of very. wide smiles-one might
almost call them grins-from her small
charges. After you smile in return you
are given a chair, and the days pro-
ceedings go on as before.
They are a contented lot, are these
summer school children. The attend>
ance is voluntary. There are no truant
officers to capture those who like to
play hockey" No one minds if they
stay away two or three days in success
sion. Perhaps that Is why the attend
ance Is so good, and SO regular. There
Is no fun in staying away If nobody's
going to make a fuss about it. Any
way, the fact remains that the ummer
school attendance has not fallen off since
the schools opened, despite the frizzling,
sizzling hea of some of the days.
You see, the children have much to
claim their interest. A boys soul

n my opinion the true test of a house
keepers culinary skill lies not so
much in her ability to follow well
known recipes according to recognized
rules. as in the utilization of the scraps
which accuu ulate in every larder, and
in preparing from them nutritious but
inexpensive dishes. With a piece of
fresh beef or veal it is not difficult to
turn out a satisfactory dish, but with
odds n ends the task is more diff
ficult; so perhaps one or two hints on
the subject will be welcomed by mex
perienced housewives.

Have in readiness a quarter of a pound
of thinly sliced fat bacon. Put some of
the chopped meat on each slice; roll
up or fold over, according to shape and
size, and secure with tiny skewers of
wood. Place on a baking dish, either
in a slow ven or in front of the fire,
until the fat of the envelope is melted;
then sprinkle thickly over with bread

kitchen gardening and sewing. The
cleverness of these youngsters will sur
prise you. Work baskets and mats
that are marvels of symmetry are
evolved, some of them showing w or
more %colors, carefully woven into a
harmonious whole.
The sewing classes are interesting.
Each little girl is hard at work, push
ing a shining needle back and forth
through a bit of cloth. Before the
summer is over she will have learned
just the right way to apply a patch
to a garment without having to show
too much. She'll know how to hem,
and to hemstitch; to basic and fell, and
back-stitch, and work buttonholes, and
cut out things, and put them together
properly-not as easy as you think.
She'll also know quite a little about
embroidering.
Also. in another department, she is

garments; the proper way to sweep,

and many other things-more than can

The summer school curriculum shows
a happy combination Of work and play.
1t is mostly work, to be sure, but the
work is made to seem like play. Just
enough lessons-regular school book
lessons-are %sprinkled through the
course to give a zest to the whole.
And while their small sons and
daughters are getting the benefit of
these good things, the mothers breathe
freely. The schools are a blessing, for
they keep the youngsters off the hot
streets all during the morning. In the
afternoon, If they like. they can HE

they can exercise their limbs and lungs

SYSTEM IN HOUSEKEEPING.

The weary, worn-out. nerve-ripping

her daily duties with no special system.
Chaos is demoralizing and wearing.
Before retiring go through your little

work will not look so difficult. Never
permit dusty or solled garments to lie

THE newspapers n magazines

THE newspapers and magazines
are, to a large extent, responsible
for the fame of deserving play
ers, and they are chiefly to be blamed
for the unfortunate lack of distinction
between the various ranks of play
ers. Experience seems to have
taught them that it is more profitable
to flash up the misdoings of theatrical
folk than it is to spread broadcast the
even worse misconduct of men and
women in the other walks of life. That's
why, l suppose, the public is constantly

sought out an American friend in Lon

things he'd heard in America.
For instance said the ~Enghshman,
L said to a chap one morning in Ken
lucky. Think it's going to rain?" and
he said, Little dogs twill and little
dogs 'twon't.' Now what did he mean
by that?'
THE American was puzzled and in
quired If those were the exact words
used. The Englisman replied:
why, yes-er no-his exact words
were: Pups twill and pups 'twon't!'
