MISS SUSAN GLAsPELL's DOG
VOLTA the Original Of the Puppies In
Her Story The
Visionlng.

Miss Susan Glaspell. the author, has
a dog, which fact Is of more impor-
tance than might at first appear. For
Bohemian beast. that inspired the Gre

named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
there are no two more real characters
In the whole book than Why and Amt
1t, to use their names in English form.
1t was Miss Glaspell's own dog,
Bohemian beast, that inspired the ere
alton of The Visioning's twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has
French name, VOLTA. When it's owner
Hought 1t, over In Paris, she wanted at
first to name it Raspail, both in mem
ory of the boulevard on which she
lived and as sympathetic cognomen
for sensitive souled Partisan dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!" So
Miss Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries 1t is wan

Whenever it feels that way, away
VOLTA goes. Fortunately it wears

LITTLE LEAKS.

The old proverb that tells us that
great ship" Is so true Of the little
leaks in the household which are so
easily overlooked. yet are the cause
of many bankrupt homes
These may seem like small things
to mention, but "a straw shows which
way the wind blows"
Do you notice the tea and coffee
cups at the end of the meal? Is there
a teaspoonful OF undissoived sugar in
some of the cups? The children may
be taught now to guard against this
.extravagant habit, but 1t Is hard to
break old and long-established ones.
Are those at your table careless
about taking on the plate more than
they care to eat. leaving it to be
wasted?
When the expense OF the table ex-
ceeds half of the income (the amount
a fair apportionment) 1t proves that
1t is due to any or all of the follow
ing things:
Buying food out OF season.
Buying perishable foodstuffs In
quantities not Immediately available.
Buying food with little nutriment
Choice of high-priced meat, high.
priced because limited in supply. not
because il is of greater food value
Many times the most medicinai part
of the vegetable Is left in the water
and thrown away.
There is as much genius needed to
practice the little economies in the
home as 1t takes to write poetry. and
we can live without poetry but not
without cooks.
Women. as rule. know more about
the wearing qualities of clothing than
about sustaining qualities of foods
A quart Of oysters equals quart OF
milk In nutritive power
One of the greatest faults of house
keepers Is lack OF forehandedness

thought.

1t is all very well to talk about the advantages
of the modern quiet and decorous Halloween in
contrast to the rather more boisterous ones tnat
were formerly the rue-and yet in In some
lccalities-but whatever the form of celebration
1t would assuredly lose all its zest for juvenile
America without the grinning jack-o' lanterns made
possible by ye plump pumpkins. Moreover, with
out the viyid-hued orbs the Halloween hostess
would be at loss for decorative effects at dinner
and party. And finally. without the wealth of the
pumpkins mellow interior we should one and all
be deprived Of that supreme delicacy-the pump
kin pie--which is our bounden right on Halloween
even II some Grabbed old doctor does deny it to
MS all the rest Of the year.
No one probably. has the imagination to pre-
diet how we could get along without the pumpkin
at this prankish time because not within the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant have we been
without these harbingers of the waning year. We
can imagine Christmas without tree illuminated
by the tiny electric lamps or conceive a ST. Val
ent:nes day without those convenient and eco
nomical post card valentines. because 1t was not
many years ago that we knew not these holi-
day adjuncts But Halloween without pumpkins!
Why, 1t Is too preposterous to give credence even
for a moment AS well try to imagine Christ
mas without mistletoe or mince pie; Memorial
day without flags; or Fourth Of July without
fireworks.
Yet for all that 1t Is the pumpkin and its con-
tents that gives go to the Halloween celebration;
this glory of the autumn corn field has never
been accorded much formal notice by an unre
sponsive world To be sure, some homely poet
putting into the look of things in the period
known as the afternoon of the year. does make
passing reference to- the frost on the pump

subject of commendation by congress, says the
enthusiast on Halloween. Instead of such COM

as pamphlet to the rotund delcacy-hasnt
indeed, delgned to notice his majesty of Hallow-
cen except to give few hints to housewives who
may desire to can pumpkins. as though that were
fit fate for so useful a holiday adjunct.
But for all that there is little lore relative to
the history and antecedants of the pumpkin-and
perhaps this is. after all. in keeping with Hallow
cen stealth--it is known that the pumpkin is

Perhaps 1t were not well in all cases either to in
quire too closely to just how the pumpkin was
acquired, But whatever be the means whereby
it was apportioned to its present purpose. it is a
