Two months ago word came from
Otto's widow thEt he had died sudden

Alois Grass scraped together all tut
he could but the demands -of his fam

he could to live up to the letter of
his promise
Then, six weeks ago. he was made
widower. That made expenses a

Mrs. Pomeroy says that she has no

of how to be beautiful.
I'm my opinion, the beautiful woman

they were born and grew up together

brotherly love.

share and share alike" was the prin-
ciple they observed, and it was OBJ
served to the letter.
But little towns in Germany do not
present many opportunities for strong
young men, ard it was decided that
one of the brothers could better con-
tribute to the support OF the Grass par
ents by seeking his fortune in the new
world. Each urged that the other
should be given the opportunity of fu.
ture wealth, but finally it was decided
that AIois, the elder, should be the
fortune seeker.
When Alois Grass left he and his
brother agreed that affection and the
old compact should exist unchanged.
Should either one be beSet by bad luck
or illness, all the other had was to be
his as he needed. In particular, after
they had married and got families
should one die, the other was to give
assistance and keep the widow and
children from want.
Alois reached the wonderful new
world and after several years Of knock
| ing about settled near Belleville. He
married an American girl and with
what they could save they managed
to buy little farm. Six children were
| born.
Brother Otto, back at home, also had
married. Regularly the brothers cor
responded and the letters kept the
spirit of love and Comradeship alive
and as fresh as when they parted &

1t is right that every girl should look
as pretty as she knows how.
This doesn't mean piling on powder
and wearing extreme styles. 1t means
using good taste in everything, and IL
also means being healthy, for no sick

make yourself wholesome, cultivate a
sweet disposition and pretty manners
Then dress becomingly, find a becom

neat.
Plenty of bathing is necessary tC

eat fresh fruits and vegetables, keel
the bowels moving freely, drink plen

eat nourishing foods, not rich foods.

It is, of course, the educated and in
telligent woman doing her own work,
or directing the work of one general
servant. who marks out any new and
improved path in household matters
and sets an example which other
housekeepers follow. To her we look
for the working out of better customs
in our kitchens which shall make
housekeeping more satisfactory for
us all.
Fortunately the, number of such
norant, obstinate and extrayagant
number of kitchens dominated by ig-
norant, obstinate and extravavgant
servants is gradually lessening. while
housework as an occupation is in con-

Dear Mrs. Thompson-(1) have an
old mahogany table, which I have re-
painted mahogany. but the top Just
sticks TO everything and so never looks
decent Finally put varnish on the
top but this did not help matters. Can
you tell me what to put on the top so
that it will have shiny. smooth sur
face
(2) Can you also tell me how to
wash and clean corsets?
CD How do you clean dress shields?
l have tried several times, but they
never look clean after washing.
90 Do you know how to make hair
stay in curl long at a time? know it
is said that it is hard to keep hair
curly in summer.
YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER.
81 About the only thing you can do
to make the table look well is to
remove al the paint and refinish it. It
should never have been painted, you
see.
You can buy a can OF I've and apply
1t TO the paint according to directions
printed on the can. When the paint
has softened, It can be easily scraped
of. Then sandpaper the top OF the
table smooth. This is hard work, but
it will have to be done. When the
table top is perfectly smooth you can
give 1t a dull oil finish, or give it a
coat of the same kind OF varnish you
speak of, applying It very thinly and
evenly and quickly, with a camers hair
brush.
(2) Take the steels out Of the cor.
set, II possible. Then lay the corset
on a table, take a good stuff brush
soap and hot water with a little soda
or ammonia in it. Scrub the corset
on both sides, then rinse well, with
out wringing. and hang out in the
sun to drip dry.
go Shields must be washed in cool
water. Dissolve a little washing soda
IN a cup OF hot water, add this TO cold
water, then wash the shield like you
do the corset, but use a softer brush
a nail brush will do. Hang these out

Many lonely woman in the country
would find delightful employment in
raising, gathering and drying the many
good herbs that used to hang from
tie rafters of every well stocked
kitchen so or 100 years ago. The
income from this source would be
small, of course, until the old fashion
can be revived of using a spray of the
herb itself in our soups and stews
rather than the powder now in use,
which is only fit for stuffiing and gray
les.
Most important, perh@ps, of all the
lessons We can learn from the kitch'
ems of Europe, we must train ourselves
to plan ahead and give time enough to
allow all the goodness Of our materi
ais to be used to the best advantage
1t makes great difference in the ex
pense if we wait until the last possible
moment before we decide what we
will prepare for the meal.
FORETHOUGHT Is ESSENTIAL.
Perhaps we then have to send the
children to the corner store for some
ueeUSu ludlSEldlSs 1Or WHICH we pay
more than at a less convenient store
or we buy something quick at high
er price than the food we should have
chosen had there been time to cool
it, but without any corresponding gair
in nutriment or appetiSing taste:
1t is this forethought that makes Il
possible to use left-overs to advantage
There are so many good and easy anC
palatable ways of using bits of mea
or fish or vegetables left from yester
day, besides the usual warming up
that is so unattractive and unpalatablt
that it seems worth while to exert oul
ingenuity of expecting the unframed
mind in the kitchen to devise eco
nomical and delicious dishes from thu
remains of yesterdays food.
1t is because we do not make this eff
fort that these bits of gocl food arr
thrown away, and the cost OF living
is bitterly complained of.
