WHEN FLOWERS ARE LACKING
One Resourceful Hostess Makes Dec
oratlve centerplece of the Homely
Cabbage.

A young housekeeper, who lives in
q district where 1t Is often impossible
10 S:Ocure flowers suitable for a din
lng table centerpiece, has fallen back
upon her kitchen garden for decora-
tive materials. All winter long she
relies upon the homsiy cabbage, whose
center she scoops out and fills with
celery sprigs. This she sets upon a
plate fringed about with celery tops
and to the white and green effect she
gives a CHEEKY tone, by adding little
clusters of cranberries. Another fav-
lorlte decorative scheme is produced
ctlre-sssby a small-sized pumpkin,
which is punctured at top and sides,
TO hold sprays of celery or hemlock.
The winter pear, hard and hrm and
substantial is another basis for Gen.
terpiece, as its wide end will usually
rest suuarely upon saucer, trimmed
with sprays of greenery. while into
the top, pierced with narrow deer
hole or tunnel, may be placed holly
twigs, hemlock or any winter foliage
which may be at hand.

genius to persuade a child to take
food and medicine In time Of illness.
ANY devices, trick OF plan by which
the small people may be eheerfully
eoereed into taking the things which
are necessary for their health is most
welcome to any who have the care OF
such small charges.
II the charge is a boy and fond OF
soldiers. small squares Of paper rolled
in the form Of tents and small nag
pinned on top. will cover a dish OF
broth or other food and he may play
at being the captain, lift the tent and
partake Of the dish prepared.
This game may be varied to suit
circumstances and the age Of the
child. A child may be taught TO eat
if the nurse viii have some Of the
food at the same time, each taking q
spoonful out of his own dish at the
same time, telling an imaginary story
about the food going on a journey
down the little red lane" One moth
er solved the problem, giving the child
toy money and she being the soda
water man, selling hCt drinks. ANY
method which will get the results
without friction IA desirable. The
child in a happy frame Of mind is
much farther on the way to Wellville.
A log cabin made out of dainty
strips of buttered toast will be eaten
much more happily than toast cut in
the usual form. served in the usual
way,
A cup of steaming broth or beef tea
may stand inside the log cabin and
the Imagination of the child will be
so wrought upon that he win forget
that he is eating food.
Little surprises concealed in the
tray for the good child who eats, Is
another inducement. A transfer pic
ture on the bottom of glass, which
can be seen only when the contents
is drunk, is another good way Of &C.
complishing the purpose. The indi'
viduality of the child will give the
nurse ideas to use II she is thinking
and looking for such things.

HOUSEKEEPING DoNT's.

Don't put on the cleaning Of boxes
and drawers until warm days come,
when being out Of doors is such .
pleasure. Much Of the work can be
done on rainy days except, of course,
the airing of clothing.
House cleaning now ought to be
nothing more than an extra cleaning
and sweeping day. The rugs can be
taken out, laid on the ground aud
cleaned. Never hang a heavy rug on
the line, as il breaks and ruins them.
Rugs should not be shaken. either, as
the threads are easily broken and the
fringe, II any, torn on.
Don't forget to plan the spring so
that some of each day may be spent
enjoying the lovely weather. If house
keepers took more recreation their
work would be better, and much hap
pier, accomplished.
Don't forget that 1t is much better
to keep well and happy than to have
the reputation of being the best
housekeeper in town, valuable as that
may be to you.
Don't forget to plan out your vese-
table garden on paper, order the seeds
and have everything ready for the
busy time when gardens must be
made.
Lettuce may be grown for the table
at least two weeks ahead of the open
ground sowing. by preparing a boz
set into the ground and covered with
thin cheese cloth, through which the
rain can penetrate. The cloth pro
tects the tender plants at night and
they grow like weeds when the sun
warns them.
Don't allow your reserve shelf for
hospitality to get low. as unexpected
company will find you unprepared.
Don't neglect to wear a close veil
when out on windy day. Dust is a
great menace to health, end many nh
crobes lodge on grains Of dust
Don't try to prepare too elaborate
meal for company. Simple food vel
served is most pleasing. A roasted
hostess for first course is too otter
seen at many tables

THE uNDERsiDF OF THINGS.


There art navy women who have
established a reputation for good
housekeepers because on the surface
and things in sight we're always kept
neat and In order, while disorder and
even filth might run riot in unseen
corners and out of the way places.
No room in the house raeds such
care as the cellar, and she who throws
things into and makes a dumping
ground of the cellar, closets and dark
places is not deserving of the name
of good housekeeper."
Cellars where fruits and vegetables
are stored should be carefully aired
and all decaying vegetables removed
at once.
Be lavish in the use of lime as a
cleanser; 1t is also an excellent dlsin.
fectant. An open box Of it is an or
nament in any cellar.
The average housekeeper is con.
stantly talking about good or bad
luck" In regard to housekeeping; in
cooking especially. II we turn this
matter over and look at it from both
sides, We will see that there is nc
such thing as luck We are success
full in our undertakings only as we
meet and fulfill conditions, and when
! the conditions are not fulfilled we
have what is termed "bad luck"
