"SHOES THAT FTP

recently. Every one of US has found
some crisp little paragraph which
would just hit our friend x. With
quiet tact we leave the magazine
where x. will see it. x. scans the
page and either skips over the article
in question or else chuckles, remarking
she does wish Y. could see that.

pose I have faults, although I have
never encouraged my family and adj
miring friends to harp on them, be-
cause ones intimates so seldom have

should be generous minded enough to
take it to myself and profit thereby.
But none of these improving para
graphs are ever pertinent to me; they
are all directed to The Mar Who Sc

and I am none of these. I discover
columns upon columns of discriminate
ing literature aimed at my friends, but
they appear either blind or too sub
lime in their egoism to take it. Why

Teaching the Baby to Walk

DON'T worry if baby is not walking
when he is year old. and If you
are young mother don't worry every
older mother you know by asking her
When should baby begin to walk %
because the fact is there is no fixed
date for the performance to begin.
Some babies are strong on their
pins at year old, others not until
they are two perhaps or near it. but
this should mot make a mother anxious
If her baby is otherwise healthy and
strong. 1t is, too, a mistaken notion
to think that baby should be taught
to walk. This is one of the things
that do not require your interference.
Mother Nature manages it, and when
the ligaments and bones are strong
enough you simply can't stop baby
from walking-not. at least, unless you
actively prevent him from doing so.
There is no objection to holding his lit
tie hands. guiding his steps or putting
him into leading strings to prevent
his falling against some dangerous OBJ
ject. These are things that must be
done to safeguard him. But to put a
child upon his feet when he has no de-
sire to be on them and to lead him
along against his will under the mis-
taken impression that you are doing a
good thing and strengthening his legs
and ankles is to run a very serious
risk of making him bowlegged. The
body pressing against the bones which
are not yet properly hardened causes
them gradually to yield and bend out
ward. The result is a permanent de-
formity which even an operation Is not
able to remedy.
A heavy child should be kept off his
legs as much as possible during his
second year, when he is toddling about
actively. for II he is allowed to be on
them as much as he wants to he is very
likely to make himself bowlegged.
Have you ever noticed a tiny fodder
in pair of thin shoes walking on the
pavement in cold weather? 1 have.
and my heart has ached for the little
creature. 1t is marvellous that any
mother should forget the danger of cold
stones or ground to little feet when
they are covered merely by thin soled
baby shoes. Many a case of infiam-

Crystal reading, fortune telling, mind
reading, are all popular pastimes.
The girl who is at a loss to know
what to do with her guests some even
ing might get a cup of tea and tell
fortunes. Every one will be interested.
1t is a game that always succeeds.
A few drops must be left in the cup
with the leaves in it. The person
whose fortune is to be told must make
a wish, not aloud, three times, after
which the cup is whirled around to
throw the leaves into the fluid. 1t
must then be given to the fortune teller,
who begins the prophecy.

speech and imagination, because she

@ HE shops are full of distract
ingly pretty new things for
my Iadys boudoir wear, and
of course everything in these
after Christmas displays is of di-
aphanous character suitable for mid
summer use. Houses are so well heat
ed nowadays that embroidered null
and thin silk negligees are donned
even in the coolest weather. These
lounging robes, even when of an elab-
crate makeup, have ceased to be a
mass of airy fabrics-in fact, vanity in
a tangible form. They are now built
on lines of classic simplicity and dig
nifty, and richness of material is de-
pended upon for beauty rather than a
fluff of lacy trimmings.
The same idea seems to apply to the
newest lingerie, and an edict from
Paris says that petticoats are to go
and that snartly dressed women will
wear a modified Turkish trousers cos
tune. Doucet is to bring the trousers
dress out. So it looks as if we shall
not be much interested next spring in
lingerie petticoats. But we shall see
what we shall see. To return to the
Turkish trousers dress for a moment,

THE NERVOUS HOSTESS.

temperament is to be pitied, and so are
her guests, even though her words be

house and makes all therein feel 4bat
they are lowering on the brink of a
volcano. Would you know at once the
woman who has this unfortunate fail
ing? Then watch any pet dog or cat that
she encounters. If it shrinks from her
touch. though she may be in a calm
mood, you may judge that something
amiss in her nature has been detected
by the sensitive little being. Animals
and children discover such irritability
instinctively, and there are some
grownup human beings who retain
this insight The only thing to do
when the hospitality of the nervous
one has to be accepted is to cut the
visit as short as possible and to yield
as much as possible to all her whims.

A sATHTuR COVER.

Most housekeepers spend a lot of
time cleaning their enameled bathtubs.
Here is a way to make the work less
strenuous. Cut a piece of unbleached
muslin the size of the tub and round
off the ends to fit it. A bias facing is
then stitched around the cover. and
through this stout tape is run When
the tub is not in use the cover is
thrown over it and the tape drawn
tight around the projecting edge. 1t

incredible amount of wear and tear on

About one pound and half of apricots
and an ounce or more of sugar are
used. For the suet pastry use half a
pound of -four, five ounces of beef suet,
half a teaspoonfu1 of baking powder
and a pinch of salt.
Well grease a pudding basin. Sieve
the flour, baking powder and salt into
a basin. Chop the suet finely, mixing
some of the flour with it as you DO So
This prevents it clogging.
Remember beef suet should always
be used for pastry, as mutton fat has
too strong a flavor and is also very
hard.
Mix the chopped suet and -four to-
gether, then mix them to stiff paste
with cold water. Cut off about one
third Of the paste and put it on one
side.
Roll out the rest until 1t is about
three times the size of the top of the
basin.
Drop the pastry into it and press it
gently against the sides of the basin.
Stalk and carefully look over the
fruit. put in enough to half fill the
basin, then put in the sugar and about
four tablespoonsfuls of water. Fill up
the basin with fruit. packing it tight

Most men are fond of boiled fruit
buildings provided the suet crust is
light. If it is not, it is generally either
because too little suet was allowed in
proportion to the flour or because the
pudding was not boiled long enough.
Some people use half the amount of
flour directed in the recipe and an
equal quantity of fine breadcrumbs,
and these certainly make a very nice
light crust.
II you can't get apricots use apples or
