Is a Man Ever Lonely?

Women should by nature make much
better agents for renting furnished
houses than men do, as they car point
out the desirable features with persua-
sive and dulcet insistency and suggest
remedies SO simple and practical for
the undesirable things that any man
and most women would be keen to be-
gin on the suggested doing over Ey.
cry oma IS really at heart a born
homemaker, Like a bird, she has the
nest building instinct, and the house
ruled and run by a woman, married oil
single, has a charm and subtle refine
ment that other houses have not I'M
less the man is an artist or has artistic
tendencies. A man mostly longs to be
comfortable and If comfortable viii
~cheerfully enjoy quite hideous sur
roundings, just so that no one touches
his pipe or his papers or tides up
the other belongings that crowd his
den. Sometimes he will feel vaguely
dissatisfied on coming back to a dreary
bachelors apartment after dining well
in some gem of n home, but he always
consoles himself by the thought that
any alterations for style would cause
him TO lose some of his comfort.

The Cflildren's
School Lunch

LIKE all other affairs of domestic
management, the putting up Of the
school luncheon is sure to become an
annoying and burdensome matter IL 1t
Is not planned for In advance ON,
dear, there's nothing in the house for
Katherine's or Toms lunch" means
the mother at a time when the basket
should be packed for use. There Is, as
I q rule, no excuse for this state of af-
fairs. The proper thing to do Is to
make a list of the daily lunch menus
best suited to the children's good and
the means OF the family, say for a
week in advance, and make a special
point Of keeping the needful supplies
on hand. There should, besides, be
plenty of p~araffin paper on hand and a
ball of clean white cord.
Nearly all school children need fats
to keep up the supply OF bodily fuel,
so butter and Oil, as well as the vari-
Gus meat fats. should find a place in
the daily lunch. But since the genus
child is apt to bolt his lunch this
should contain plenty of vegetable
matter, which is to be found in celery,
lettuce, cress and the like. All these
green things make delicious sand
witches.
1t is hardly necessary to speak or the
fruits. Fortunately there are few chill
dren who do not crave this healthy
form of food. Apples. oranges and ba-
nanas are the staple lunch box fruits.
But IL these are too dear dried fruits
thoroughly soaked. then cooked slowly
in sweetened water, are by no means
TO be despIsed.
Al to sweets. try to avoid doughnuts
and pie. Gingerbread and plain cakes
may be used sparingly, but bread
spread with butter and maple or dark
brown sugar is well liked. Plain candy
made from brown sugar, a handful of
raiains and some dates or figs are all
good things to put In the lunch box
TO satisfy the craving for sweet food.
The folding tin boxes now so much
in use are great convenienees. Candy
boxes answer very well, and IL a school
bag is carried the lunch need only be
wrapped in a parcel. Children usually
like to help to get Up their lunches and
will as they grow older learn to do it
all for themselves.

The pernieious Fostering OF flies IS
another matter that cannot be over

Salt Is necessary TO horses, but IL

quantities and irregularly. An excess
