Housekeeping as Business.

Under the above title l shall write
occasionally of interesting expert
,nents in home efficiency whlch | am
sure will be of interest to the prac-
tool housekeeper. These are being
,,,o,.,s ed ont and tested by practical
nersons in our country today. we
wont To know what they mean by
the "new housekeeping" and Wheth-
ar these experiments are OF any
value to us when tried.
In small suburb near New YORK
lives Mrs. Patterson, VINO recently
was elected president of the feoer-
ated Clubs of her State. She began
the duties of her office first by con-
ouering the problems OF her own
home. ..rr,aar
"This is what she says; Unoer

obligations it seemed Impossible loI
me TO crowd in another duty. l had
either to engage more Servants OF
end some other way out of the DIM

more time in training them to bet
tor methods of work and a double
exnense to the home. SO began

responsibilities which were already
overbalancing my energies ana re-

solute neutrality-suspicious. was as
necessary to me as the manager OF

ager in any other position OF trust.
This was the goal towards which all
nv energies must be directed, ana
for this end my success was depend
dent on two factors. The first was
the reorganization of method or
housework along modern sclentlhc
lines; the second was the elimination
of all non essentials"
The reader can see readily that
Mrs. Patterson very quickly recog-
nized how practically impossible 1t
was to raise homework to it's true po-
sition of dignity under our present
help system, for which we have no
standard in this country. This being
true, we must work along the lines
that viii encourage the type of pro-
fessional women who will come into
our homes by the hour or day for
work, as one goes to ones office. This
can only be done by eliminating what
has been termed for years "drudgery,'
or hard, unpleasant methods of doing

USES OF STARCH

If little starch is added to the
rinsing water of all cotton goods, they
will wash much more easily. The dirt
comes out with the starch, and they
will iron almost as readily as I'M
starched goods. if ironed before being
allowed to become thoroughly dry.
Painted ceilings wash easier if gone
over first with starch water.
Brown cotton fabrics may be dipped
in water containing a very slight
amount of liquid glue, instead of
white starch, which shows on the sur
face.
To starch black satin, percale etc.
CRATE raw potatoes into the cold, sec

happy solution of trimming in these
garlands of flowers
She can catch up flounces of lace or
net with them; can Irvine them about
the waist like a sash and knot them
at side of back and let fall in two
long ends.
She can outline the deep V-shaped
decolletage with them, provided the
flowers are small enough, and she can
use them as finish to short sleeve.
They are not cheap-these garlands
of roses-but they are not as expen-
siVe as rhinestone trimming or seed
pearls.
AS 1t is the custom now to put
festoons of something over our white
gowns. the majority of women have
rallen back upon jewels of some kind.
Jet and rhinestone and glittering
beads are all very well in the winters
ana In some brilliant summer resort
like Newport, Bar Harbor or White
sulphur, out they are out of place
everywhere else when the weather is
hot The roses are not.

ROSE WATER LOTIONS

Investigations recently made have
disclosed the fact that Diane de Poi
tiers, the famous beauty who was the
envy of Catherine de Medici, used
nothing more than rain water to pre-
serve her youthful beauty we'll into
the seventies. This secret was wrest-
ed from Oudard, her apothecary, sur
geon and perfumer A bath in those
days was considered luxury, and all
the receipts for beauty lotions hand
ed down generation after generation
resolved in the last analysis to the
use of soft rain water. The stories
of Adelini, PATHS milk baths and
white of chicken diet and other prima
donnas famous recipes and COM
pounds, show that the secrets of
beauty remain as fascinating and
quite as mysterious as ever.

PACKING THE TRUNK

If packing is carefully done there
Is no need for that crushed done for
look that clothes often wear after a
holiday.
Put the articles out ON a table,
carefully fold all skirts so that there
will be no crease when they come to
be unpacked. 1t is good plan to
fill boots and shoes with pairs of
stockings. etc. This Keeps the shape
as effectually as trees.
All little articles-such as ties,
bows, gloves. etc.-shoud be put in a

together and they are all ready for
putting in the drawer.

THROAT BANDS

The wearing of bands of MORE, vel
vet or jewels about the throat is a
fancy which has been adopted almost
universally. for women have found
that the collarless gown has come
to stay.
They must wear it or be demode,
hence those with swanlilSe necks have
line. and seeking have returned to
the old-time mode.
Occasionally these bands are fes-
TONED with tiny drops of single jew
els, three or more hanging pendant
in the front and those when used are
always in matching color to the
trimmings of the gown, or to the
gown itself.

usual way and they will shine beau
tifully.
