TEAMWORK.

they have a wonderful effect when they
are good and leave a sorry, sorry trail
when they are bad. The outside world
generally sees the better side of folk
and scarcely gets a glimpse OF the real
self under cover. But the little coterie
In the home sees every side; 1t sees
folk tested by disappointments. thwart-
ing and wearing vexations. 1t sees them
on the gray side and knows them when
the days are blue indeed. And, most i'm.
portant of all. the home coterie must
see each other, must live and love or
live and hate together on the days when
each has trials of his own and feels like
pulling alone. And those are the days
when 1t pays to bring to bear all the
sympathy, all the patience. ali the con-
forming, all the yielding, and the I'M
Outstanding that have been learned In
the school of life.
For that is what teamwork means
when we get down to the heart of the
thing.
1t is a pretty comprehensive thing.
this teamwork in the home, or anywhere
else, for the matter of that.
There can be no false notions Of ones
own importance. no undue demand for
attention in lieu of comfortable self-
reliance, no refusal to make concessions;
but there must be a healthy, well-devel-
oped notion of the meaning Of cooper.
alton and mutual interests.
And the trouble is that when boys and
girls, men and women, are pretty thor
oughly developed along lines of self. in
stead of teamwork and of service. there
is not often a kind genius at hand ready
to transform and wipe out kinks long in
the growing.

Scissors In the Kitchen.

A pair of scissors in the kitchen are of
invaluable assistance-not the lamp scis-
sors or the dull pair that Is black with
age. nor the garden pair, nor yet those
with the missing points, but a new,
sharp. shiny pair that will cut.
1t is a difficult matter. for instance. to
remove the white pith from grape fruit
with a knife; one digs and jabs. and fin
ally cuts out the offending center and,
incidentally, makes a hole in the fruit
through which the juice drips onto the
plate. Not so with the scissors. A snip,
a pull. and there 1t is without trouble
or mutilation.
And bacon! How few women can slice
of the legs Of a lobster. in breaking
every morsel can be quickly pared away
without a vestige Of waste. In cutting
of the lgse Of a lobster, in breaking
open the claws and cutting through the
tail, the scissors will do the work uncom-
plainingiy without the aid OF the ham,
mer and ice pick.
In preparing vegetables they are in
comparable. Try them in cutting the
roots from spinach, shaping flowerets of
caulifiower. and cutting up asparagus.
Dice up the pineapple with them, cut
up the meat ands fish for salads, re-
move the veins from shrimps. use them
for the fish fms and save your fingers.

Fan Party Gives Entertainment

The invitations for a fan party were
| written and sent out on tiny japanese
fans. The reception room was beauti-
fully decorated with flower holders made
out of palm leaf and sweet grass fans
suspended from the picture railing and
filled with flowers and gracefully droop-
ing vines and ferns: these fans had been
soaked in water. then bent in form Of
cornucopias. wall-packets. and such like
holders, large bows of ribbon being tied
to the handles of tho fans by which to
suspend them. The dining-room was
decorated with frieze OF fans arranged
along the plate rail; these fans were an
assortment of shapes and sizes. but were
not expensive. and the effect produced
was delightful
The centerpiece for the table was made
by using a shallow oblong basket for
the foundation, in which some wet sand
and moss were concealed. Around the
outside Of the basket were fastened
Japanese fans and the angles between
them filled I'm with bows of ribbon to
harmonize with fans and flowers used.
The basket was filled with flowers. ferns,
and vines. which tSailed over the edge
of the receptacle. The cases for the
ices were made out of palm-leaf fans
that had been soaked in water until
they could he cut. bent. and folded into
unique shapes, held thus with a few
stitches and tiny bows of ribbon; these
cases were lined with waxed paper before
the ices were put into them.
The receptacleS for the bonbons were
made out OF sweet-grass fans, soaked
and formed into tiny baskets. The
place cards were decorated with fans
cut out of Japanese napkins. pasted on.
and the edges touched up with a little
gilt paint.
On entrance each guest was presented
with a sandalwood fan from India,
which had been freshly dampened by
the hostess so that it's fragrance and
GOODNESS might be fully appreciated.
For entertainment there were several
fan games" In one Of these games
the guests were seated facing each other
dies. A rubber ball was tossed up by
back and forward between the rows of
guests. The owner of fan who allow
ed the ball to drop to the ground when
tossed to her was out Of the game and
had to vacate hec scat. The two that
succeeded in keeping their seats the
longest were considered the winners and
presented with small prizes. One rule
OF the game was that they were not to
rise from their seats when tossing the
ball or they would be counted out,
when the excitement of keeping the ball
from falling to the floor was at its
height this proved difncult thing to
do and many had to vecate their seats
on this account.

time. Some preferred being famed

table provided with scissors, paste, and
a supply of Japanese napkins and crepe
paper decorated with figures and now-
ers. The hostess then distributed plain,
undecorated fans around and told the
guests that they must decorate them to
suit their fancy. A prize was offered
for the most artistic fan produced and
the most unique. These fans were fas-
tened on the wall for display and voted
upon before the prizes were awarded.
The result of the work was interesting

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

Do you know that 1t is a mighty fine
thing to be trained to teamwork?
For IL not trained. or not taught by
the easy way of nature. there are hard
days of awakening ahead.
Because 1t does not so much matter
whether ones way turns TO the great
outside world. where all sorts OF human
characteristics are mixed in a merry
tumble, or whether it stops in the home.
teamwork plays an important part in the
scheme of life
IL one knows how to work and to live
in pleasant harness with others. and Is
no less willing to give than TO receive
consideration, there is likely to be easy,
comfortable going. But il all the lessons
in early years have been along the lines
OF self, there are certain te be breakers
ahead. And sometimes the knowing how
or the failure to learn make all the Diff
ference between success and failure.
1t is often the fate of an only child to
remain unschooled in this useful art.
and there is nothing to show him what
he has missed until school days begin.
And then the lessons come thick and
fast They come but even then they do
not always bring reform. They do not.
unless there is some one at home to tell
him his schoolmates are right, or unless
sense back in his little head.
But when a child has grown pleasantly
used to thinking himself supreme, 1t
takes more than one shock to bring a
real awakening. And, as the shocks
come, one by one, they either develop
and strengthen or leave him futilely pro-
testing. II he is willing to take his les
sons like the little man be ought to be.
content to play in easy harness and to
follow his work at school in the same
comfortable fashion, he will soon out
grow the excessive weakness for self
and will be as ready for teamwork as
are his boy and girl companions.
But IL, as ii sometimes happens, he
will not play in harmony and will not
pull together any of the time, then alas
for his school days. and alas and alas
for his future.
Because those habits OF play are car
ried over and out into the big life
helds, where ii matters every minute
of the day whether one follows the
comfortable rules governing teamwork
or whether one pulls SO warranty and
discordantly for self alone, that it makes
hard going for others who try to pull
together. For the majority of folk must
work with others, must come into con-
tact with varying minds and as varying
hearts, and then the thing that counts
is to know how to work together.
And those early habits drift back to
the home where, of all places on earth,

To Air q Bed.

The proper way to air a bed, If you
are opposed to removing the bedclothes
from the bed, is to throw the sheets over
the footboard across a chair placed to
keep them of the floor, and then lift the
mattress in the middle, fitting it UP SO
that the air passes under and over it.

hour of this will thoroughly air the bed.

course. In making up the bed shake the
sheets well as they are put in place
You will then have a tidy, fresh bed
and an orderly room soon after you are
dressed. This will help make your house-
keeping easy.
