"oH, WHAT A GOOD loEAlp

There is often trouble when ma
Ginning hens or trucks OF fine mus
lin. The fiimsy material is apt to
cookie. and IL is not always easy to
regulate tensions exactly TO prevent
this before mischief is done. The
matter is simple enough IL you know
a little trick. Put your delicate mus
lin under the needle just as though
YOU were going to begin work in the
usual way. Then have ready some
narrow strips OF paper and slip one of
these under the muslin and proceed to
machine away. The effect would be
like machining a firm piece OF calico
instead of puckering gauze. OF course
the strips are machined to the gar
ment but it is perfectly easy to break
this away after the work is finished.
and instead of doing harm il helps 10
keep the hens straight and firm.
Another little dodge is useful for
those who prefer hand tucked baby
clothes and underlinen. but yearn for
the accuracy Of the tucker on the sew
ing machine for spacing and straight
ness. Run the tucSs with the ma
chine. but without the thread. Then
you have them set and you are ready
TO run in the hand tucSs where the
little machine holes have made their
mark

For the chicken timbalcs boil two
chickens until tender; skin, bone and

the white meat. Beat four yolks of
eggs with a tablespoonful OF butter to

chopped mushrooms, a pinch of salt,
white pepper to taste and one-half pint
of cream. Mix this we'll into the chick

HINTS EoR YOUR GARDEN.

Most women who have the oppor-
tunity TO grow flowers delight in do
ing so. They love 10 tend the plants
and plan novel effects TO be gained by
charming color schemes. Here are a
few hints given by an expert gardener
as TO the arrangement Of shrubs and
flowers in the yard:
Besides the shrubs IN the yard we
must have flowers. Plant all you can
afford 10 buy il you are prepared to
take care of them. Starved. sick. dis
contented flowers cry out for help to
every passerby. Cruelty to flowers
should be made criminal offense. 1t
is almost as bad 10 abuse a beautiful
Towering plant as TO beat a horse.
Don't plant in round beds. Plant in
long beds in front of the shrubbery
where the flowers can have a back
ground or green fciiage. Plant the
tall. brilliantly colored flowers at the
back-the cannas. hollyhocks and the
like. Take the big ugly Gamma bed out
of the lawn and string the cannas out.
two or three plants deep. in the front
Of the tall shrubbery way back in the
yard. Plant the smaller and more deli
cate ones near the front

WELL. WHY NoT7

Salad for breakfast Who ever heard
OF such a thing? Why not serve oat-
meal porridge at dinner or oyster cock
tails after the coffee?
Not so fast. One isn't recommending
just any kind Of salad for breakfast
not those unnatural combinations of
fruits and mayonnaise with whipped
cream, than which, by the way. there
could be nothing more illogical-but
simply a crisp little green salad to qsses
with your toasted graham breYd and
bacon. Suppose you try It bef0fe you
pass judgment. When a green salad is
served for breakfast the fruit course
may be omitted, and this in itself is
solving Of the question which Is upper
most in the minds of househeepers az
the present moment - reducing the
household accounts.

HOW TO FEED
AN INVALID

PEW things are more difficult than
to get a sick person to take nour-
ishing food. and no task, as a rule. Is
worse managed. Amateur nurses may
he successful in other matters. but
they generally make a failure Of the
food proposition.
The nurse is usually to blame when
the patient viii not take food, She
WIN bring n huge saucer fun OF jelly or
a large cup OF beef tea to him, and he
viii reject it with disgust. because the
sight of so much food is distasteful. If
she brings a few spoonfuls at time
and serves them daintily he Will be
glad to eat
Give little food at a time and give it
often. That which IS eaten willingly
and with relish is far better than
double the amount swallowed with dis
gust.
If a time is fixed for the invalid's
meals always be punctual. IF kept
waiting most sick people will refuse
food when brought to them.
BE careful never to leave food i'm the
siclxroom in the hope that the patient
may eat It later on. Miss Florence
Nightingale, the worlds most famous
nurse. says this will prevent him from
taking food at all. In nine cases out
Of ten a sick persons appetite is capri
cious. and because he enjoyed a GER
tain dish one day there is no reason
TO imagine that he will like it the next;
therefore food should be as varied as
possible.
Don't rely too much on beef tea. It
is a useful stimulant. but not really
nourishing, as most people suppose.
BE careful to serve everything in the
daintiest style. Glass should be bright.
silver FURNISHED. napkins lily white
and saucers free from slops. These
little details viii make all the differ
ence in the patients appetite
Always be sure that the patient is
placed in a comfortable position to eat
and drink, and be careful that no
crumbs are left in the bed.

BURN WASTE
MATERIAL OF
HOUSEHOLD

A WOMAN who lives in the country
VIII find she can save a great
many pennies by regulating household
trash. ashes. etc. Trash. for instance.
is an expense in the country. because
the householder in a number OF cases
pays for having It carried away;
therefore her economy comes in hav-
ing infammable stuff burned on the
premises. And as dry trash is easily
three-fourths OF the refuse she saves
just that much on carriage.
To hold trash there should be bar
rel and a firm mandate issued by the
head OF the house that old tins, bottles
and everything nonburnable be put in
to It, In another barrel papers. rags.
etc, that usually fill the household
scrap basket must be placed.
One particular spot on the place
should be reserved for the holocaust.
1t Will be a black and unsightly spot.
and for that reason a retired nook
should be chosen II there is none the
drive may be used. for after the IRE
is out the gravel may be raked over.
so in day or two all traces of the IRE
are obliterated.
AS for the ashes unless they are
very coarse they make excellent walks
in the country. It is best to have them
sifted first. as some may be burned
later, thus reducing the coal bill. Those
left are cinders that will pack down
hard and smooth and save buying
gravel for walks and drives. In this
way whole walk may be made OF
ashes with thin top layer of gravel
This is a tip for persons building coun-
try homes on limited incomes They
as none others, know that the financial
demands OF the grounds are endless
and this is one way in which none,
may be saved. II one does not re
quire ashes for the grounds there arr
always country roads in need OF re
pair, where they may be put. Select
men have no objection TO this, II tn
ashes are properly placed. and many

Gown For the Sweet Girl Graduate
WHAT SHE'LL WEAR WHEN
SHE GETS HER SHEEP.
SKIN THIS YEAR.

- HE sweet girl graduate is
spending every spare minute
she can from "exams" and
GRAMS" those nerve raclking
tests OF mentality, to the selection Of
materials and styles for the gown in
which she hopes to look her prettiest
on the great occasion when she shall
receive her sheepskin. The graduation
frock is second only in importance to
the coming out and wedding gowns,
but it is even harder to select, for the
ingenuity of the designer is taxed to
the utmost to keep the frock strictly
within the limits Of the newest there
is in the world OF modes and yet have
It youthful and girlish in appearance.
But this season, when styles all favor
the ingenue the choice is comparative
ly easy. But, my dear girl, beware of
deciding upon the two wasted model.

so don't help along the cause by ap-
pearing in a skirt that is bound to
make you tumble all over yourself"
The gowns illustrated are French
models that make for simplicity and
smartness in a graduation costume.
They have the required slinky effect
about the feet without the suggestion
OF the tied in appearance that is so un-
becoming. The skirts are plated about
the waist, but as all textures used this
season are so soft and plable It is
found possible to give an effect of real
gathers and shirrings without adding
perceptibly 20 the most exaggerated
slimness. The first secret of this is
the absolutely perfect fit of the under
dress or lining. Since the outer tex
ture is so very soft and often Of trans
parent weave it is the lines of the un-
derslip. therefore. which show the real
silhouette OF the dress. In the gowns
seen in the illustration the slips are
OF white silk. The more elaborate
model has an underskirt of white chif-
ION. at the bottom OF which is a rufiie
shirred on cords. The overskirt is of
embroidered net. Weighted with a hem
of soft satin. The full gathered waist
IS OF net cut round above the bust
The pulled cap sleeves are in one with
the bodice and are outlined with a
narrow line of embroidery. The under
sleeves are OF shirred chiffon. And
Rpropos OF the dropping shoulder line
caused by sleeve and bodice being cut
in one, Il is we'll to build up that same
shoulder piece by placing a small silk
or chiffon ruffie in the lining at the
top of the sleeve. But. TO come back
for a minute to the froclS described,
a tucker of lace forms the square low
neck effect, and the girdle is of folded
chiffon.
The other model is OF white cotton
