mirror, so the little lady can arrange
her curls before entering the room where
the class is held.
Another pocket contains a small pin
book fitted out with various sizes and
kinds of pins. not forgetting several small
and a few large safety pins. In this
pocket is a folding shoe-buttOner and in
a similar pocket is little purse where
the child can safely carry her handker-
chief and the change for her fare.
The slippers and fan are carried in

Such a bag would be acceptable and

There are quite a number of women
who are making money out of what we
might call odds and ends-things that
would otherwise go to waste. One
bright woman noticed that her market
gardener always had some vegetables
and fruit left over each day; some days
there would not be much, other days
there would be quite a surplus.
She bargained with him for this sur
plus a small price; in fact, most OF
it would have been thrown away. so
she got it for almost nothing. She
made the ripe tomatoes up into catsups;
she both dried and pickled the green
beans; dried and canned the sweet
corn: put the cucumbers down in pickle;
canned the fruit or made it into pre-
serves and buffers. She picked the
young beets and canned them.
In the fall she bought up the green
tomatoes and made various pickles out
of them She sold all these things by
order and soon there was a greater de-
mand than she could supply. for she had
skill in canning and picking. Then one
day she observed that her groceryman
was throwing away vegetables and fruits
that only lacked their first freshness. SC
she made arrangements with him where
by she should preserve and pickle all
his surplus, and as her trade increased
she added other groCers in town to her
list
She has found that earning by the fire
less method is great labor saver. She
bought a small fireless cooker, for a few
dollars. BY canning in this way the
house is kept cool, fuel is saved, and

PROPER WAY TO BEAT
DUST OUT OF CARPETS

Fold the carpet up carefully. carry it a
good distance from any window and hang
it over a stout Lle. wrong side outward.
Two persons should beat it. one standing
one one side and one on the other.
Use pliable sticks and tie securely over
the end of each a piece of cloth to pre-
vent damage being done with the sharp
end or by sudden splitting of the wood.
When the dust ceases to fly out turn
and beat the carpet on the right side. and
if there is any quite clean and dry grass
drag the carpet right side downward
over it to frcshen it.
Lastly. sweep it over lightly with a car
pet whisk, and it is then ready to be re-
laid.
Then examine the carpet and remove
any stains.
For candle grease stains scrape off all
the solid matter possible with an old
spoon. not a knife, as the latter is apt to
cut the fibers of the carpet.
Then lay over the mark two layers of
blotting paper, and with the point of a
hot iron go lightly over the place.
Keep repeating this process, changing
the paper each time, until no mark is

LOCOED WARDROBE IS THE
FASCINATING NEW PUBL E

About this time Of the year every
woman begins declaring that she has
nothing at all to wear. She complains
of her depleted wardrobe to her hus-
band most Of all. who is so accustomed
to the story that he knows that it is
but the forerunner of a demand for a
check, which he, being decent sort Of
chap, is quite ready to give. The
clever little woman has made up her
mind that he shall not think her ex-
travagant. so she has made out a list
of just what she needs to show him.
The locoed list is given you for un-
tanglement this week that you may de-
eide for yourselves what was the de-
nomination of the check, although It
isn't necessary that you tell me your
estimate of how much money she got
unless you so desire.
In rearranging the list please num-
Der your answers and write your name
on the same piece of paper upon which
you write your solution of the puzzle.
The usual prizes of SO and 81 as first
and second prizes in the adult class
are offered for the first two most near
ly correct lists of answers received.
and the third prize of 81 will be given
the DOy VI girl not more lHdn III teen
years old, who sends the first most
