of tissue paper between them; the ex-
ira trouble is worth while, for the waists
will keep fresher.
Putting on chldren's overshoes is al.
ways troublesome unless the rubbers are
so loose that they are really uncomfort-
able. Have shoe horn convenient and
You viii be surprised at the ease with
which they 60 on. There will be a saw
ing of both time and patience.
When ironing, have a number Of coat
hangers upon which to put shirt waists
or children's dresses; transfer from
clothes rack to hooks in a closet pro-
vided for the purpose, says the Modern
Priscilla. This saves time and trouble
OF folding the clothes and keeps them
in better shape.
Coffee eustard without eggs Make a
strong cup of coffee or that left from
breakfast will do Strain it through
the eheesecloth into a pint of milk. Put
milk into double boiler with u cup sug-
ar. tablespoons eornstarch dissolved in
cold milk, pinch of salt and small piece
butter; cook 20 minutes Remove from
fire, flavor with vanilla and pour into
a mould or custard cups. Chill and
serve with whipped cream, Delicious.
Just like coffee ice cream. Cocoa or
chocolate can be used in place Of cof-
fee.
During the winter season when hang
ing out clothes is so difficult, try put
ting handful OF salt in the last rims
ing water and the clothes viii not
freeze or stiiren until after they are
hung on the line. Indeed it is possible
even to change the position in a line
full of clothes if necessary before they
freeze, and, best Of all, If hung out in
the sun, they viii have begun to dry be-
fore the freezing begins. This saves the
wear and tear, for nothing is so hard
upon linen as this freezing and flap
ping in the wind. The clothes are also
easier to remove from the line.

When Pride Keeps One Aloof
Occasionally woman who would en-
joy the friendship of her neighbors keeps
herself aloof from them and resists their
advances because they live in style
impossible to her, while she is sure that
she could not afford for long time,
If ever, to entertain them as hospit-
ably as they entertain their guests.
The woman of small means often does
herself the greatest injustice and is very
unfair to her richer neighbors, by acting
on the supposition that they care more
for show than reality, and that rugs,
furniture and draperies, old china and
ancestral silver are in their eyes of SUI
preme- Importance.
The fact is, that with people who are
worth knowing, the externals of life |
count for less than the profounder real
tiles. Two women residing on the same
street in the same town, hitherto strang-
ers, may possess every requisite for
mutually helpful intimacy. They may
both be we'll educated, like the same
books, have the same high motives, en-
Joy music and pictures and be able to
carry on similar work. | speak of this |
because working together in a church is |
always bond that is sure to unite |
congenial women. One of these women /
NAV have large income, beautiful |
home with ample rooms, motor car |
and several servants. The other may |
live in small house, manage with econ
omy and self-respect slender income,
ride in the street cars and do her own |
work. There is no reason why the /
two should not be friends if they are
congenial, and neither the wealth Of the /
one nor the lack of the other ought to
be considered in their social intercourse.
