Esv7pro4G1e

I lOOK about you, Madam Housewife,
and read the literature which has
been prepared especially for your
benefit and avail yourself of it's iI1urni-
mating suggestions. Readjust your
kitchen so that useless running to and
fro is eliminated Take stock of your
cooking apparatus and weed out the
useless, worn articles and whenever
possible replace them with new and
improved tools.
Study the best methods OF sweeping
a room of making a cake or of &C
complishtng the fall sewing. Make
your schedules and then stick to them
as closely as possible. If you have
servants explain to them what you are
endeavoring to accomplish and try to
secure their cooperation
Do not think that because your moth
er and grandmother managed to keep
house very comfortably without any
scientific knowledge none is advisable.
Your mother and your grandmother
used candles instead of electricity or
gas, but do you refuse the later con-
venfence because of that fact2
Don't think that because you are the
middle aged mother of grown children
you are too old to learn new methods.
One is never too old to improve.

viii be cnarmingIy chic and modish.
The minaret tunic has invaded tailor
dom this winter, and it is q wired af-
fair like its prototype Of the diap11a-
nous texture. These hoped skirts
have been more popular in Paris than
in this country SO far. The hoop is
placed not at the hem. which is as mar
row as ever. but at point between hip
and knee, and serves to distend the
drapery so that it is wider at this
point than at the bottom Of the skirt.
OF course these hoops are very light
and do not give the least stiffness to a
costume but let me say that only ac-
conplished French couturiers have ac-
CURED the art of handling the hoop
successfully.
One of the dernf- tailored suits In the

the new materials and the gorgeous
ness of many of the trimmings are cal
culated to dishearten the woman with
a small dress allowance. AS a matter
of fact, the situation need not be dis
concerning, for this is essentially a sea-
son of 1eftovers. In other words, the
combinations of materials now SO fash
ionab1e, the tunfc idea, the use of lace
f1ouncing on evening frocks and the
possibility of using a totally different
fabric for the waist all make for
economy.
For instance, If you have a modish
light silk frock or a black charrneuse
left over from the summer wardrobe
make lace tunic Cor you can buy one
ready to adjust over the frock) and
you will have a delightful costume for
the afternoon tango dancing tea. Worn
with stunning hat this costume is
beyond reproach.
Another perplex1ng question just now
is the waist to wear with the rather
thick street coat suit-one that will

Child Welfare

YTNHE problem OF how to feed child
who will not drink milk was one
OF the difficulties the food and feeding
committee OF the New York child well

gan to prepare practical daily menus
for children in families having as lit

For ordinary children who win drink
milk the committee found little diff
Guilty in arranging admirable meals to
cost as little as 13 and a fraction cents
a day for children two to four years
old and not more than 20 cents a day
for children as old as twelve years.
In the first dietary cents day was
devoted to milk, either in its raw state
or used in other ways, but in the case
OF the particular four-year-o1d who
would not drink milk it was necessary
to make puddings. cocoa. etc.. which
would contain milk in a concealed
form. The arranging of this diet made
a difference OF over cents day in
food costs, SO that the particular young
person or four-year-old who has not

I8nse to its parents.
After much consideration, under the
leadership of DR.. Swartz, the follow

WE all have been distressed at hav-

time. Here is a way to save the beau
Rfes In distress Try putting the stems
into boiling water. Before immersing
them in the bath lightly scrape down
the limp stems SO that the hot water
win soak through The best way is to
put the withered flowers in a deep
pitcher and pour the boiling water the
entire depth of the stems, leaving the
roses above the surface. In a. short
while you win have fresh blossoms.
You mustn't lay the flowers them
selves In the hot water. Just have ii
cover the stems. This is point that

Think Of Cbrfsfn7a.s Preserf.s

EgVERY year for few weeks before
Christmas frantic appeals are put
forth by humane minded women that
you do your Christmas shopping early.
There are really not SO very many
weeks before the holiday season will
be here. and unless you enjoy being
rushed to death it's time now to begin
collecting gifts.
No matter where you are. you can
find interesting presents If you keep
your eyes open. Only buy things which
you would yourself like to receive for
gifts. Unless you naturally have poor
taste this is good way to Judge
whether or not other persons would
like to receive the gifts you choose.
II you see anything which you think
would please, some friend buy 1t and
label it as soon as you buy 1t. Fans.

RECONCILE yourself to the fact that
you must have g. sash in your

tened to gown. but 1t must be there;
also you must know some of the vasri-

Would you have it a toreador? Then
see that 1t is of bright striped silk and
wind It about the waist, tying 1t over

The most charitable construction to
place upon the unsuitable things one
