Grooming the Busy Woman

s-4- -5- WHERE are wonenswho- have nothing
 to do the hvelong day except keep themselves in form. so to speak Part of the time they may spend at the manicure's, part at the hairdressers and the rest shopping for smart dnery wherewith to deck their pretty faces and forms. But good grooming is an- other matter for the busy woman who must get in her shampoo. manicuring and massage at odd moments snatched from pressing duties.
 j Even the few minutes demanded for the ordinary process of getting oneself together and bathing must be hurried through with thoughts intent upon oc- equations to come. and as for the stitch in tinne the sewing on of buttons. the polishing Of boots. hing gloves and such small services to the toilet which keep woman always looking neat and dainty and well dressed. too often must these essentials be done in frantic haste at the last moment before starting forth on some important duty
 System in the case of the hurried Mo- man is as important here as 1t Is in every other work One evening should be set apart during the week for -catchfng up'' with ones grooming. On that evening the hair may be sham pooed, ssz11@U h1leS -dzs51ngs fhaznails may be maa4cSzfedss " nile 1tFle-4Water is being drawn for the nightly bath white gloves may be washed in the basin and stretched out over drying frames.
 During the week everything that re- quires mending or alarming should be slipped into a cretonne bag, and, with the pile of mending at one's hand the drying hair spread over one,s shoulder and plenty of leisure, the work of re- pairing odds and ends will go very quickly.
 Last of all, the various boots and slippers should receive attention. Pe- troleum jelly should be rubbed into the leather stinened by wet, a whisk broom used to remove all dust around the eoles and missing buttons firmly sewed on before the polishing Is given.

Attractive Luncheon Boxes


 THERE E much more in a lunch box
 than the rood 1t contains, and the patient mother or sister who thinks ahead and plans for the lunch and of the dafntiest ways of packing 1t de- serves more praise than she will ever receive and is taking no small part in the character building of her family.
 An unfailing rule should be that the one who is to eat the lunch should not pack it. The appetite at noon and in the morning are; two different things. and, besides, there should be an ele- ment of surprise as to what one is to have.
 sWholesonaeness. simplicity and dain- tiDess should characterize the lunch. A idea. .but it ts also nice to have one that Is just the right size. light and water proof. especially for children One should keep on hand supply of paper napkins. waxed and parchment paper. fresh wrapping paper and strong .twina If everything Is wrapped sepa- rateIY in wexed paper there will be no nn1xing Of davors and the daintfness will coax. 8 weak appetite. This does the box right side up.' supposing. of course, that there are no cups or glass es holding liquids.
 The skin can be removed from or- angeS and the sections separated with ont breaking. and then they can be put into shape. wrapped in wax paper and be eaten in comfort Instead of rich and facy cakes, put in sweet crackers or homemade cookies. tucking in a. few extra to divide Two or three pieces of homemade candy and a few nut meats can go in the box some other day. and even lump Of loaf sugar.
 The things named are quite suf1- cient for q lunch with plenty of good homemade bread cut thin and spread with good butter and anything else de- sired, such as jelly, minced meat or cheese Thin slices of broiIed steak, sea soned nicely. are quite as good as if not better than roast beef sandwiches. Crisp, sweet bacon is also excellent and is one of the most invaluable of foods. Pickles and highly spiced foods should be included in the luncheon box spar ingly.
 The following "goodies'' are easily prepared. Large prunes or dates with the seeds removed and the cavities fill- ed with nut meats fondant and then rolled in sugar: sweetmeats made of equal parts of figs, dates and nut meats and all run through a meat grinder then formed in balls as large as nut meg and rolled in powdered sugar; orange section covered with glace

The Irnportanee of Fur

NOWADAYS there are few suits in
 which the fur collar is not repre- seuted- Among the most fashionable pefts are tailless ermine, skunk mole. light fitch. ciYet cat and. n1usquasla dyed to match the material Leopard and lynx are also employed. Further more it must be noted that these tailor ed suits consist of three pieces and that the blouse or corsage is wonderfully elaborate and dfaphanous affair. Vests of exquisite embroidery with gauge grounds are in evidence. . very pretty idea being the suggested front fasfen- ing with a strap and buckle st the back like R mans Eaistcoat- Ere leaving the subject of tailor mades, attention must be drawn to the fact that there are signs on the horizon that gstherines over the shoulders win be deemed ul- tra smart an the season advances.

CONVENIENCE OF HAVING CHANGE IN THE HOUSE

EtVERY busy housewife has
 experienced the annoyance of not having the right amount of change in the house when the tradespeople deliver their goods- The groceryman, even when be is told, will often forget or fn- tent5onaIly neglect to send the change as he may wish a cUa- toner to open an account with him, and. no matter now 5u- dicious a person may be in buy ing things. ft is easy to run up a good sized bill
 To be able to pay the exact amount each time ask at a bank for package of dimes and one of quarters. 4 package of nicke1s may also be added. The banks will give you the coins ID convenient packages. A pack age containing five dollars worth of dimes fs less than two inches long. and it is an easy matter to get these neatly wrapped packages when cash ing a check.
 It is often necessary to leave money with the maid to pay for fish, fruit or something of the kind, and with the exact change in the house one does not have to face a large bill

How About Your Floors4

WHERE is no better polish for Etaiu-
 ed floors than the old fashioned beeswax and turpentine. though Bome of the disinfectant waxes used tn hos pttals and other large buildings can be highly recommended And. speaking of floors, it is a great mistake constantly to wash nnoleums and cork carpets. for water used too freely rots the surfaces and makes them porous. thus providing homes for millions of undesirable mi- crobes.
 It is far better to rub them brislzIy with a good wax polish. which also actE as disfnfectant and preservative- Al the same time. too. the wax fills up an the little holes in the surface. so that any dust or dirt that accumulates o1 the top can be easily swept away.
 Mating may be successfully cleaned by scrubbing with boiling water in which 8 handful of bran and 9 table spoonful of soap powder have been dis- solved Rinse the mating afterwar6 and dry as thoroughly as possible with cloths
 Fiber doormats should be scrubbed first with soda water and then with salt and water.

COUNTY Division Fought.

ROseburg, Ore, Jan. 24-Declaring
that the measure providing for the
division of Lane and Douglas counties
In the formation Of the proposed Sius-
law county is unfair, for the reason
that those interested simply desire the
undeveloped, heavily timbered dis
tricts of northern Douglas county and
eliminate from the proposed boundar-
les those district in which there are
roads and other improvements to keep
up, It was practically decided here to-
day to request Douglas county's quar-
tet Of representatives to oppose the
bill.
Speaking for the county court,
County Judge Wonacott said that he
would make no fight against the
measure in the event the advocates
Of the proposed new county would
include in the boundaries q number of
the northern districts, in which there
is a network of roads subject to main
tenance. AS the proposed measure
stands at present, however, Judge
Wonacott expressed himself as dis
pleased and said he would probably
make an effort to defeat its passage
