HINT TO ~HOUSEKEEPERS
MILDRED PERRY

In three days, when the cry OF
high cost of living Is abroad in the
land, 1t behooves the housekeeper to
don the thinking cap. How can |
furnish my family an attractive meal
at a moderate cost"
A few simple suggestions may help
solve the problem. These suggestions
are offered to housekeepers of very
moderate means: those whose heads
of the family are wage earners. and
who very often have TO prepare the
meals themselves.
First, attention to details forms a very
necessary element OF an attractive
meal. Don have soiled linen. linty
glassware Or spotted cutlery. If pos
sIble have a ported plant or a few
flowers for q centerpiece: just a small
fern or ever a gersnium with it's pot
concealed by. red tissue paper. helps
to render any table attractive.
Second-Don't serve dishes intended
to he hot, anyway hut hot. And re-
member, lukewarm tea. coffee or choc-
olate II an abomination and will sure
Is produce dissatisfaction.
Third--Don't neglect the cheap
standard foods. but am to cook them
In an appetizing way. There are great
possibilities in a half peck Of sweet
and Irish potatoes which together cost

The scenic friexe above . wainscot-

for the dining room. The so-called
conquest OF the air has brought out
many aerially suggestive papers, with
happy results. Brilliantly plumed birds
OF every kind are seen IN many Of the
newest conceptions. Even q bed room
paper was noticed which carried out
this idea. Over the white ground OF
the paper were scattered twigs and
branches upon which tiny birds
perched cheerfully.
