Der Own allowance

T OTIS of girls who have successfully
passed a difficult mathematical ex-
animation and can tell the exact cost
Of feeding SO many thousand sheep
when each one consumes a given
quantity OF food in half a day are ut
terly ignorant OF the value of money
when applied to everyday affairs of
life Why? Generally speaking. be-
cause mothers have done everything
for them. Mother and father, too. have
furnished all the money required for
charity. clothing. amusements and
what not. The girl is probably not ex
travagant and does not ask for much,
but she has all she wants and has no
idea of making a certain sum serve for
any particular purpose
This is not just to the girl herself.
She arrives at the age of nineteen per-
haps without possessing that knowl-
edge which gives self reliance There
is no exaggeration in this statement
More than one husband has said some
thing to the following effect: Bless
her! She's the dearest wife in the
world, but she doesn't know a little bit
about making her allowance going a
certain way. Well, she will learn in
time" The girl should learn long be-
fore that time, and mothers are not do
ing we'll TO spare their daughter the
trouble of looking after themselves.
Mother is going to give me an al
lowance all to myself. and I'm going
to buy all my clothes. and don't like
it," said schoolgirl recently. She
says she will give me the same amount
she has always spent on me, so ought
to be able to manage. Now, what am
I to dor have only the haziest idea
Of how to spend it." This girl spoke
the truth, which goes to prove that It
was time she was compelled to learn
something of the purchasing power Of
money.
It is hardly fair to the girls to plunge
them suddenly into the struggle in
that fashion. The right way is to be-
gin at an early age, giving them some
sums for charity, for purchasing birth
day presents, etc, then gradually in
creasing the allowance and the scope
of the purchases as the girls grow old
er. Only exceptionally should the al
lowance be increased, for it Is only by
having to go without that they will
learn how to manage If they are res
cued when they are in a hole they will
not learn how to keep out Of danger in
the future.

It's strawberry Cfme-Cry Cbese Recipes

STRAWBERRIES and cream, in spite
of the pastoral simplicity of the
combination, constitute the foundation
for many desserts that might be served
at the table Of queen. Merely by pill
ing few large, luscious berries into a
cup OF sponge cake and topping them
with whipped. cream strawberry char
lotte russo is the result. Stiffened with
gelatin they become an aristocrat Ba-
varian cream, and frozen stiff they are
a strawberry mousse.
Duchess charlotte consists of a cup of
sponge cake partly filed with frozen
cream, then piled to overlooking with
crushed berries and whipped cream
For strawberry layer cake select a
white cake recipe. using pink sugar in
stead of ordinary granulated or color
the dough pink with a little vegetable
coloring matter. Flavor with lemon
When done spread between the layers
and over the top an icing prepared
from powdered sugar and fresh berry
juice. Spread strained strawberry pulp
sprinkled with lemon juice over the
filling before pressing the layers to-
gether. The suggestion of lemon fla
vor in this cake prevents it from being
insipidly sweet, as strawberry cakes
are so likely to be.
In drinks, jellies, ices and most cakes
a little lemon juice is generally an i'm
provement, accentuating their peculiar
favor.

Lemons are not the only fruit that
combine well with strawberries. With
rhubarb they are delicious. Stew the
rhubarb in the usual way and add the
hulled berries until it is red. This COM
bination makes an excellent appetizer
at breakfast. Pineapple dice and straw
berries stewed together are rich con-
serve that is most appropriate at sup
per or luncheon. Add sugar to sweet
en-, but not too much. Strawberries
combine well with cherries and may be
preserved or made into a marmalade
with pineapple. The cherries should be
sprinkled literally with sugar and al
lowed to stand for about an hour be-
fore mixing with the Strawberries
A delicious strawberry salad is made
by combining the berries with few
slices of banana, two or three lobes of
orange cut in quarters and freed from
tissue, one or two spoonfuls Of diced
pineapple and one or two lobes of
grapefruit treated in the same way as
the orange pulp. Sprinkle the whole
thoroughly with powdered sugar after
piling 1t into glass fruit bowl Then
sprinkle over it a few spoonfuls of
sherry, and just before serving orna-
ment 1t with whipped cream.
A bowlful of berries and sliced ba-
nanas mixed together thoroughly is de-
licious for either luncheon or supper.
especially If served with whipped cream
and sherry.

Cbfnss to Make and to Do

THE gift OF a sewing bag for friend
may be embroidered with a wreath
of thread, spools and thimble, the scis-
sors open to represent bow at top
A set Of pigeonholes made from an
old book looked rather rough on the
edges, even after being sandpapered
and stained, so a strip of passe-partout
binding was neatly pasted on uneven
edges.
Trays across the ends of blouse box
are convenient to hold ties and collars,
and they may be easily made by cover
ing corset boxes with cretonne and fas-
tening them with brass headed tacks
If your old fashioned trunk has a
round top and you want 1t in your
room for a window seat take off the
top and have a carpenter adjust a fiat
one. Then you may I'LL it up with a
cretonne covering and a cushion or
two.
Stenciling linen shades In a design
to harmonize with the furnishings Of a
room is a new idea to consider when
redecorating the home.
Muslin curtains worn out at the top
may be cut down easily to sash length
for summer use.
Did you ever try polishing your tan
shoes with turpentine? It's fine. Pour
a little of the turpentine on a flannel
cloth and rub over the shoes, then with
a second piece of flannel polish them.
The shoes will look like new.

GlRpLE Is The THING.

1t is reported from Paris that the lin
gerie frock will be a girdle affair and
not by any means a princess.
The girdle is naturally a part of the
very simple model, and it was inevita-
BILE that it should return sooner or later
on the cotton frock which lent itself
none too well to the severity and dig
nifty of the princess.
When the long front panel is now
used the garment is girdled at the
sides.
When last seasons cuirass is retain
ed it's upper line is dropped to the re-
gion of the waist, leaving it hip yoke.

Dow to Secure Good Servants

EHIRST try to remember that servants
have feelings as well as yourself
When their work is done give them a
word of praise, so that they see that
you appreciate their efforts, and see to
it that they have time to do their
mending and to get out little for a
change of scene. Some mistresses do
not realize how dreary the common
round of domestic servant is.
Let your servant observe in your
conduct just the qualities and virtues
that you would desire they should pos
sess and practice toward you.
Be liberal with food. Housework is
a very hungry calling, so don't grudge
your servants share of the various
dainties you press upon your family
and visitors.
Don't expect your servant to execute
half dozen errands for you when she
is out for her own pleasure. She
doesn't like It: neither does her sweet
heart
Remember when engaging a maid
that you are making contract. State
clearly the duties which you expect her
to perform and in this way avoid con-
tention arising afterward from misun-
derstandings.
Show every kindness to your servant,
but from the first be firm in correcting
things you dislike. Then she will see
that you are mistress and not attempt
that undue liberty which later on is so
difficult to check.
Give your servant a reasonable stat
