HOUSEHOLD HELPS
For the aahx.

A pretty present to give baby is an
embroidered band to fasten the little
one in it's carriage. For this choose a
thick white satin ribbon two and q
half inches wide and II inches long.
Sprinkle it with small blossoms en-
broidered with flo silk in natural
colors and line the ribbon with soft
flannel, the color of the flowers, to
give the ribbon substance. Sew a
rosette of narrow white satin ribbon
one quarter or three quarters of an
inch wide at each end of the band, and
fasten under them two pieces of the
same ribbon, each about three quarters
of a yard long, to tie the band to the
carriage.
A strip of fine white linen NAV be
substituted for the wide satin ribbon
with equally pretty effect, and when
soiled can be restored to it's original
beauty by careful laundress
Dainty also are bands ON embroid-
cred in single color, with the rosettes
at the ends to match. Forget me nots
with blue ones, the rosebuds with pink
are most frequently chosen

idea of having "rainy day cup

used ONLY when rainy days keeps the

There is crepe paper, with DOCK Oh

various pretty things; paints, maya l.
zines to be colOred and cut out, beads
of all colors and sizes, and the ever
fascinating jig saws. says Home Notes.

instituted. rainy days have ceased TO

Beaded BAGS.

If you happen to have an old bead
ed bag that belonged to your grand
mother, or her grandmother before
that. you are particularly fortunate
for these bags are being revived once
again
The quaint old-fashioned designs
are the most desired ones-little fig
urcs. houses and trees, all worked out
with elaborate care in very minute
beads.
Sometimes they have gold or silver
frames, and if your old bag is in good
condition but has a poor top, you may
have new frame put on at no great
cost.
Tho hand bags are most fashiOna BILE
but the little coin purses and fiat
purses are popular.
Old ones are shown in the antique
shops. but one may procure new ones
in more recent designs OmOstly made
abroad) for more moderate prices.

Don'ts For hostesses.

Don't make your guests feel that
they are company" visitors, and that
you are straining every effort to en-
tertain them.
Don't make the mistake of asking
nncongenial people to meet each 9th
err This is often the reason for the
failure Of party that would other
wise have been a success.
Don't think it necessary to be con-
sstantiy providing your guests with en-
tertanment. Every one likes to be
left alone sometimes, and a guest will
often enjoy a quiet evening at home
far better than a party.
Don't talk only on topics that inter-
est yourself Find out your guests
tastes, and, as much as possible, con-
slider them.

Cream Soups.

These are all easy to make and are
nourishing and not expensive. Cream
Of lettuce, celery, peas, corn, beans,
cabbage, potato. spinach, dandelion,
socrcl etc, are made in the same gen.
eral fashion and are generally served
with Sippets of toast or croutonS.
Popcorn is good in cream soup, and 9,
spoonful of grated cheese scattered
over the top of the plate when served
adds nourshment and the popular
''foreign' touch.
The cheese, either rather dry Ameri-
can or Parmesan, is usually passed in
small dish for each person to help
himself. Potatoes and celery are often
cooked together for n tasty cream
soup, even q few stalks of celery SUI =
ficing to impart a delightful flavor to
the honlier potato 4 little onion Is
used with almost all vegetable soups
unless it be pea, where a little mint
is given the preference.
The first step is to cook the vege-
table or combination of vegetables IN
water. When tender remove such as
you may wish to serve as vegetables
and turn the remaining vegetables and
water through a sieve, rubbing the
vegetables through into the water.
Add to this mixture little flour or
corn starch to thicken. allowing two
ia blespoonfuls flour and the same
amount of butter to each pint of liquid,
which NAV be all milk or milk and the
water in which the vegetables were
cooked A little cream improves 1t,
but it is not essential.
Peas and beans are the best meat
substitutes. Marmalades can be made
inexpensivcly now and will help out
breakfasts, luncheons. teas and even
desserts.

Need of Washing Lettuce.

lettuce of these insects, wash 1t care

salt to the last waer. All insects Will
float to the top and may be drained

and place it in covered vessel to ex-

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
ONE KIND OF MAN.

Courtesy to women, old and young,
should be part Of everybody's home
training. Without it he is likely to be
boorish and selfish; and rude, over
bearing brother and son is in danger of
developing into an exacting, discourte-
Gus husband. He is likely to belong
to the class of boys who come into the
house and say to their sisters:
Here, Mary, you've got the chair |
always like to sit in, and Katie has the
paper I want! Let me have themn'
He receives the chair and paper
without word of thanks, and then
says:
"There's button off my overcoat,
and want one of you girls to put it
on before morning. Mary, run and get
my slippers"
His hat, gloves and overcoat have
been thrown down in di fferent parts of
the room for his mother or sisters to
pick up and put away His mother
comes into the room and he says;
"Mother isn't supper most ready?
l am half starved!'
sit will be ready in few minutes
his mother replies.
"Well 1 wish you'd hurry up"
At the table he is served first and
always has the best of everything, a
course well calculated to foster his
selfishness and autocratic tendencies.
In his own home he is a sort Of des-
pot. He feels that his personal com
| fort should be the chief end and aim OF
his wife's life. A delayed dinner is an
unforgivable offense, and missing
button brings on acute attack OF
that disagreeable mental disorder
called sulks.
He is likely to be one of the men
who keep their seats while ladies stand
in the street-cars, arguing while he
does so that "women have just as
much right to stand as men"
Obtrusive discourtesy of this kind
nearly always has its origin in the
early home life of the man who mani
| tests it.

WHEN WOMEN SHOULD MARRY

WHEN WOMEN SHOULD MARRY.
Probably the best time for the aver
age woman to marry would be any age
| between twenty-four and thirty-tive.
1t is not said that no woman should
marry earlier or later than either of
| these ages: but youth and health and
vigor are ordinarily at their highest
perfection between these two periods.
Early marriages are seldom desirable
for girls land that for many reasons.
| The brain is imm ature the reason is
feeble and the character is uniformed.
The consideration which would prompt
| girl to marry at seventeen would in
many cases have little weight with her
at twenty-four. At seventeen she is
agirl, at twentyfour woman.
Where girl has intelligent parents,
the seven years between seventeen
and twenty-four are the period when
mind and body are most amenable to
wise discipline and best repay the
thought and toll devoted to their de-
velopment. Before seventeen few
girls have learned to understand what
life is, what duty is. They cannot
value what is best either in the ia
theirs wisdom or in the mothers
tenderness. When married at the
childish period they are like young re-
cruits taken fresh from the farm and
the workshop and hurried off to a long
campaign without any period of pre-
liminary drill and training or like q
school boy removed from school to a
curacy without being sent to the uni
versity or to theological hall.
Who can help grieving over a child
wife especially if she have children
and husband who is an experienced
and possibly exacting boyman. The
ardor OF his love soon cools, the Wis
ionary bliss of her poetical magma
tion vanishes like the summer mist;
there is nothing left but disappoint-
ment and wonder that what promised
to be so beautiful and long a day
should be clouded almost before sun
rise.
