Having a Home Homelike

have seen a simple camp in the
Maine woods made charming with 1t,
and have seen a millionaire's home
made a desert by the lack of 1t, and
vice versa.
1t is not always the simple home
which is thepattractive one-although
we all sing of the joys of simplicity
because the owners cannot always
discard their mistakes, and also be-
cause they do not plan the best ar
rangement of their possessions. Often
a chair is just a chair to the tired
housewife, when 1t could easily be a
haven of rest il it were placed cor
reetly in regard to window or
table and reading-lamp.
This knack of logical and beautiful
arrangement is born With some Of
us, and achieved by others through
careful observation and thought. II
you do not belong to the first lucky
class. see to 1t that you quickly join
the second.

COPPER HOT WATER KETTLE

Hot water kettles are usually
rather much alike. and if there is any
deviation from the usual shapes the
result Is generally an ornate and
often hldeous affair. One exception.
however, must be noted 1t is solid
copper kettle. silver lined. The kettle
itself is egg shaped, the small end
being over the flame. The kettle rests
on two well-designed uprights and is
SO hung that 1t may be tipped and
the water poured without removing it
from the stand, The alcohol burner is
of the best, and the kettle and stand
are of heavy copper.-Ladies Home

If / were asked. to state in one SEN
tence my opinion of the needs OF
American children in city and coun-
try | should be inclined to say that
city children need to be protected
from the overstimulation due to their
daily experiences and that country
children need to be aroused to an
intelligent understanding of their
surroundings.
Looking at modern education very
broadly we find it within these two
trends: the city child IS given nature

glass jar or of a plant growing in

are not available. that his attention
may be drawn from the noisy ac-
tivity of the streets to the great proc

to work in wood and iron with simple
hand tools that he may acquire some
other notion of industry than that of
a factory full of whirring machinery
and noisy trlp-hammers driven by
steam. The advanced educator deal

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Conducted by Miss Alice Gitchell Kirk

ming of the new year every depart.
ment in the home is in "spick-span"
order, and you know just where TO
find everything and know just where
new house furnishings are neces-
sary.
This is the season for special sales
on all white goods. and if an inven-
tory is taken at the beginning OF the
year of towels napkins, linen, Kitchen
utensils, underwear and in fact every
thing in the home and the clothing
for the family, and this when done
written on cards and filed as your
card index cooking recipes are in a
box, or drawer. many gray hairs and
wrinkles would be saved the head OF
the house, and less time and energy
both for yourself and clerks in the
stores would be saved. If this system
could be used in the home during
the entire year, we would not be
forced to give up what little peace
on earth" there is left for Christmas
with the silly sentimentality we hear
about saving the clerks at the holi-
day shopping time. They are human
all the year round and would appre-
ciate knowing What-you-
want buying eleven months in the
year, then there is method and sys-
tenn when the holiday season comes.
Talk about a saleswoman in a store
being worn out. 1t does not compare
with the wife or mother without sys-
tenn, who runs her house on the nap
hazard, go-as-you- please, find-it-if-
you-can, catch-up-in-th -next-world
fashion. she is the one who is
total wreck when the new year be-
gins and not the sales people (unless
we make it hard for them) for they
are working where system. order and
time mean something in their vocab-
ulary and everyday life.

necessary for housekeeping, as con-
scientiously as you expect your hus-
band to perform his. and with a
cheerfulness which will be a blessing

:: Daily Fashion Talks =.
BY MAY MANTON
A FASHIONABLE AFTERNOON
GOWN

Pretty and attractive afternoon
gowns are costumes so constantly
needed that new ones always appeal
with especial force. Here is a gown
that is made with the fashionable
long sleeves and with an exceedingly
graceful skirt that gives a panel
effect, while the blouse also includes
the vestee and big revers that are
essentially new features. In the
Illustration MORE velour is combined
with satin and with a lace chem
isette, and in materials as we'll as in
style and cut, the gown is an excep-
tionally smart ore. We are ap-
preaching another season, however,
and lighter materials will be in de-
mand The model is just as good for
the thinner and lighter silks of the
spring and for all the pretty mate
rails that are to be worn during the
milder weather, as il is for the MORE
velours. Some of the new cotton
crepes show tiny little flowers as an
all-over design and one of these
would be lovely made over a plain
messaline. Plain colored crepe de
chine would make up attractively
over satin of contrasting color, and
there are indeed almost numberless
fabrics that can be utilized. Every
thing with a crepey finish is to be
smart and crepe and plain materials
always combine handsomely If the
long sleeves are not liked, the cuffs
can be made narrow. which change
will make them of three-quarter
length. Again, the chemisette can be
omitted if the open neck is liked.
For the medium size. the blouse
will require 81 yards of material q,
pa yards SO or ia yards A inches
wide with q yard p for the collar,
cuffs and vestee, and IS yard 27 for
the revers; for the skirt will be re-
quired 6l4 yards 81. 5I4 yards SO or 4
yards A inches wide. with x yard q
inches wide for the panel.
The May Manton pattern of the
blouse 1910 is cut in sizes "a to AZ
inches bust measure; of the skirt 1859
from % to 80 inches waist measure
They will be mailed TO any address
by the fashion department of this
paper on receipt of ten cents for each.

A Bored StenOgrapher
NV Dear Miss Doom

My Dear Miss Doom:
1 am a young stenographer. work
ing in an Office where l have very lit
tie to do. / have worked in this office
three months, and while there have
read many books. but have hurt my
eyes. as 1 read about two books every
day. I have also grown tired of read
ing, so would be glad if you would
suggest a way of spending these tedi-
GUS hours Do not know how to sew
or embroider. and cannot learn.
MY eyebrows grow over my nose.
This is undoubtedly due to my jealous
disposition, nevertheless 1t Is annoy
ing. I dread the electric needle and
would not use it or be permitted to
use it, as l am only Is years old
ANNA P
Your letter was amusing. I wonder
how much you've gained from read
ing two books a day. 1t is a pity
that you cannot learn to embroider
or sew. Perhaps your employer will
arrange a daily cabaret show for
your amusement.
When you are 20 you will look
back and think What silly I must
have been at ISL" If l were you
would read one good book a week,
something worth while-history or
biography or the best fiction. Read
slowly and try to digest the knowl-
edge that is given you. To lover
of reading it seems criminal to swal-
low books at gulp. Perhaps you
can get extra typewriting TO do, if
you really are tired of reading. We
can all keep busy if he care to.
Rub equal parts of peroxide Of
hydrogen and ammonia on the super
fluous hair. taking care not to get
the mixture on your eyebrows. 1t
will bleach the hairs SO that they
will not be noticeable. and in time
cause them to break off.
You are slightly mixed" Eye
brows that meet are said to be in
dicative of jealousy. but jealousy will
not make hair grow on the bridge OF
the nose.

In going TO scoldt

I'm going to scold!
AT the top of this column IS little
notice declaring that letters not con-
tanning the names and addresses Of
senders will be ignored; that l have
no time TO answer personal letters,
and do not want stamps enclosed;
and that readers are requested to
write on one side of paper only.
Yet, each mail brings many letters
that break one or two or all of my
little rules. It is so disappointing.
Please. readers dear. try to remem-
Der from now on. And do not forget
that I like very, very much to get
your letters, and to feel that I'm
helping you. But my mail is heavy,
and epistles that show carelessness
cannot be considered.

American Fashions for American Women

the American woman. He has lost
his art and has put into its place the
commercialism Of grotesqueness and
vulgarity.
All this the American woman is be-
ginning to understand and realize,
and 1t is her awakening in this as well
as along other lines, that Is at the
basis of the present interest in Ameri-
can fashions.
Many women will ask: What is
meant by American fashions? What
are they?" The idea in American
fashions is beauty of line, but con-
sentative style-designs created by
American designers suited to Amer
lean women. On the same theory
that a painter must know his sub
ject before he can paint 1t, so the
designer of a dress must know his
wearer before he can becomingly
dress her.
American fashions mean a nation
of women being dressed by those who
know and understand them, and not
by those of another race who have
no knowledge of their needs.
Instead of compelling woman to
make frequent changes in her dress,
rendered necessary by extreme and
grotesque styles. the aim of Amer
lean fashions is to give designs so
conservative in style and yet beau
tiful in line that she need not change
her hat or dress before she has had
reasonable wear out of it. That will
make it possible to buy a better
quality because the design will re-
main in style longer, and SO she will
not be compelled to let the question
of dress take dominant place in her
thoughtN to the exclusion of other
and more important matters that
mean her greater self-deyelopment.

The men and women who are today
creating French fashions for Ameri-
can women haveNset up costly estab-
lishments in the Rue de la Paix and
the Place Vendome. They have large
salary lists: they have workrooms
filled with workers. These workrooms
must be kept busy, and the only way
they can do this is to change the
styles as often and as radically as
possible 1t is a business proposition
with them to make a woman dressed
in the fashion of the spring OF lsl2
look absolutely out of style in the
spring of 1918. They could not exist
otherwise, says the Ladies Home
journal for February. There can be
no criticism of this provided the whole
game is accepted exactly for what 1t
is; a business pure and simple.
But the effect on the American
woman is bad, VIGOROUSLY bad. 1t

throw it away before suitable wear

and why? Simply to support a few
French dressmakers who really laugh
at her because she is so easily led.
Neither have these French dressmak-
ers the slightest conception of her
needs; most of them have never been
in America. AS a matter of fact they
are absolutely Indifferent to America,
are for the most part contemptuous
of 1t except for the dollars that they
can get put of America. They are
absolutely ignorant of the anglo
