Planning Our Winter Reading

would make a good beginning. Hans
Andersen's STORY of My Life is the
one ! myself would perhaps choose.
But an intimate book of almost
any kind would do. The autobiogra-
ply of Gibbons (never mind that you
have not been specially interested in
him before) Is a splendid intimate
book: SO are the letters of Charles
Lamb. Letters of almost any of the
great men or women-Byron, Shelley,
CoWper. Emerson, Stevenson, Tho
reau and a hundred more-take one
intimately into the lives and con-
fidence of these writers. There are
love letters, too, that one hesitates
almost to read. so intimate they are
one must feel a kind of reverence for
them-Nerimee Letters to an Un-
known" the letters of Robert and
Elizabeth Browning, and many more.
But it does not greatly matter
which of the intimate" books you
read. the value lies in the intimacy
and in coming to know writer's on the
personal side.
AS was recommended concerning
the reading of novels, the reading oil
the intimate book should be varied by
reading OF "a wholly different char
acter. A book of essays, good,
stirring novel, and "A famous auto
biography or book of letters, these
would make fine "well-balanced ra-
ton" for the reader who is planning
what books to read in the long fall
evenings soon to begin.

Food and Health

The number of days lost through i'll
health is something appalling, taking
the community together, While the
loss in efficiency and in happiness be-
cause of a low standard of health is
beyond computation. How much of
this loss is chargeable to insufficient
ill-chosen and wrongly cooked food no
one can say, but it is more than
enough to make every home maker of
us take thought of how we can,
through the knowledge at our COM
mand, lessen this tremendous loss and
bring the standard of health in our
own families at least up to the high

The woman who does not know how
much she spends. and what proper
ton goes for food. clothes, rents,
etc. is not acknowledged
much of housekeeper, no matter
how we'll she can cook and preserve
and sew. The times demand that she
give as strict an accounting for her
business as her husband does for his,
and the only way she can do this IS
by using the same methods. Making
a real business of Housekeeping de-
Velons a definite purpose in pr: .saic
tasks, quite unlike a half-hearted
struggle to make both ends meet, 1t

tween the man who earns and the

accounts. like unwashed dishes, ac-
cumulate until they look formidable

THE CRAZE FOR LUXURIES

The craze for luxuries is one of the
prevailing ills of the times. 1t is per-
fectly ma tural for men and women to
want the good things of life, but it is
mighty bad policy for them to attempt
to get these things when they have
not got the means.
This fact is emphasized by report
from Boston, which says that many
of the residents of that once con-
servative city have sacrificed their
homes in order to indulge in the
luxury of motoring. The story of
man selling his home for the purpose
of purchasing an automobile was
formerly regarded as q good joke for
the vaudeville artists, but now it has
come a tragic fact.
