The Legion of Frumps

Every age has it's ideal. it's special
idiosyncrasy, and the present one ex-
poets everybody--man, woman and
child--to stand on their own, to take
their line, and not to hang on to
other people for succor or sympathy.
The woman who thinks 1t charming
to be helpless and who exacts small
attentions every minute will find
herself out of the movement. says an
exchange.
The young man OF the present day
does not admire a helpless female:
he expects her to understand the In
sides Of motor cars, to carry her own
clubs at golf and to be discriminating

The old-fashioned clinging. appeal
ing kind may still find favor during
the first few weeks of marriage. bull
in three months she would be classed
as an incompetent bore.
Above all, she must show no trace
of sentiment, or else be banished to
the outer darkness. where dwell the
legion of frumps.

The really good housekeeper is the
woman who hides the wheels of do
nestle machinery. Under her regime
the fall house cleaning goes on almost
unnoticed by those members of the
family who come and go. and the
personal comfort of the inmates of
the home are never secondary to
the system of housekeeping itself.
Some people have a way of dividing
wives into two classes--those who
clean and dust and cook, and those
who make themselves companionable
to their husbands.
But 1t is quite possible for a woman
to be both a good housekeeper and a
good companion. Skillets and pans
occupy their proper place in the life
of the real home-maker, but she also
finds time for some other things.
If she is a real home-maker as

Did You

THERE is A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
HOUSEKEEPING AND Housekeeping

we'll as a mere housekeeper, she sees
to 1t that the domestic machinery
runs so smoothly that no one knows
that 1t is running at all. Her house
is not fetisch before which she
bows and insists that everyone else
shall do likewise.
On the other hand her home is u
comfortable place In which to live.
1t is a place In which breakfasts are
served at the hour most convenient
to the individual members Of the
family. And even If at times there
may be ssome dust in the corners
there Is always room for an extra
place at the table for the unexpected
guest, and the entertainment OF
friends is never turned into a cere-
mony.
In this sort of a home presided
over by a real home-maker and not a
mere housekeeper, cares are forgotten

Clark, of Pittsburgh, at the same
table with the unassuming Smiths.

family. fingered long In the memory
of those who heard them. So long.

with Mr.. Magee in the hotel office
awaiting the signal from Peters that
dinner was ready. could repeat them

a Mrs. Clark asked to sit at table
with the mayor of Reuton and his
picturesque but somewhat soiled

is a huge success"

few moments in a basin of the fluid.

The WAY to Make Cider

To make cider requires a press OF
some sort.
Look over each apple, core 1t and
throw into a basket.
When all are ready, Just heat
apples to sweat and put into the
press. allowing the juice to run into
a pail.
This juice should be strained and
cleared.
The cider Is boiled for cooking
purposes, being excellent for mince
pies, as. 1t keeps them rich and
moist as nothing else will.
