DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Conducted by Mrs Alice Gitchell Kirk

People forget that bean is beef, the
pea is lamb and lentils is pork. And
to this we will add Natures Gifts
which surely are on sale in the
Ideal Grocery Store" such as fresh
lettuce, watercress, dandelions, spin
mach, endive, celery, onions, carrots,
parsnips, turnips, beets, potatoes,
rice, cabbage, etc.
Nature wants us TO eat oranges,
lemons grapefruit, apples and pine
apples, figs. dates. bananas, plums,
peaches. raspberries, Strawberries,
currants, grapes, etc. in their re-
spective seasons or when put away
for the winter in glass or lacquered
cans.
Remember everyone cannot eat the
same food as our lives and oceu-
pations are so different. But we
should all know whether the one who
has the profession of food prepara-
ton" in the home knows their bust
enss to the extent of proportionlng
foods in quantity, quality and COM
binations; in selection of foods under
the most sanitary conditions reject
ing all foods put up with preserva-
tives and finally know just what to
cook. how to cook 1t and what to
serve In its natural state without
too many fussy mixtures. If this
were done in twenty years we would
have solid, stocky, hardy race OF
American citizens.

ADoRNAGE OF FLOWERS

The latest thing in Paris for an aft
ernoon or evening gown is to wear "a
big half open rose of yellow, red OF
black at the side of the bust just
above the ceinture. From the rose
depends a long piece Of satin or silk
of any dye wished, the garnish ter
minating in a point, for length three
quarters of yard and for breadth
a third of a yard, the top to be caught
into a tight frill under the rose. This
trimming helps to brighten any dress,
but, what is of more importance, 1t
goes toward producing long lines.
This trimming is called 'lavalliere. =
and we see such long loop effects in
everything. jewelers. first made 1t
popular in earrings and pendants.

THE NEW SCREENS

Many of the new screens are ex
eeedingly beautiful. Those of en-
bossed leather are much in demand
Except in the distinctly Oriental
screens there Is a reaction against
anything like sumptuous decoration
When covered with the new brocades
that show gold and silver threads in
terwoven in the lovely patterns OK
olden time the screens are much to
be desired. There is a slight tendency
to have the material employed for
the screens match the curtains OK

TAILORED SUITS OF REP

A great majority of the truly smart
spring tailor-mades are of either rep
or cotile weave. Some of these rep
suits show a method Of treatment
which i'm times past was frequently
accorded to striped worsteds In two
tones. and nearly always with salts
factory results. Instead OF permitting
the lines to run unintcrruptedly up
and down, the material is cut 50 that
the vale runs diagonally crosswise.
This scheme of treatment gives diver
sity to the simplest of coat and skirt
designs.

TEACHING GIRLS TO COOK

Cookery had never been taught in
Austrian schools until last September,
when the minister of education added
1t to the curriculum of all girls
schools under his control. both ele-
mentary and advanced. He further
stipulated that any girl taking up
modern languages or other extra sub
jects shall be compelled to include
cookery in her school course. In or

THE CARE OF THE MACHINE

Sewing machines should be treated
with sreat care If you would have
them last a long while and do perfect
work. After every two days Of
steady work oil the machinery thor
oughly, but be careful to wipe away
all superfluous oil. Run the machine
rapidly but steadily, without any
thread for five minutes after oiling.
This will cause the oil to scatter and
the superiluous drops can be wiped
away and none will be left to stain
the material you are working with.

USES FOR GELATIN

Here are a few uses for gelatin;
To launder fine curtains use two
level teaspoonfuls to one quart of
water. To launder fine white and
colored dresses use two level tea
spoonfuls of gelatin to one quart of
water. So stiffened the garments or
curtains will look like new.
A little dissolved gelatin added to
whipped cream will improve it great
" by giving it greater consistency,
when 1t can be formed into any
shape desired.
To redress old silk add one table
spoonful Of gelatin TO one quart
water, sponge the silk on the wrong
side and roll very tightly while still
damp around a curtain pole; let it
remain until dry. Ammonia may be
