TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS
The Kitchen.
By Mary Lee.

Women are making a study Of efficient
kitchen equipment and architects are
following out their suggest tons with en-
thusiasm. for they realize how practical
these are.
However attractive the kitchen, II the
shelves OF the cupboard are too high or
the sink too low or the table in the wrong
place it Is not going to be a comfortable
place to work in.
In the first place. see that all the doors
leading to and from the kitchen swing
or open easily and do not stick. We have
all heard of the woman whose doctor told
her that all she needed to cure her of a
nervous breakdown was to prop open
the door between the dining room and
kitchen. The door had sagged and the
energy she was obliged to put In the push
numberiess times a day simply exhausted
her.
Be sure that the sink is a comfortable
height. so that dish washing will not in
evitably mean backache one ingenious
housewife had block Of wood made on
| which to set her dishpan. and so secured
the comfortable level. To the right of
the sink is the table where the soiled
dishes are collected; to the left is the
draining table, where they are dried. SO
In picking up. washing and setting a dish
| TO drain there is no lost energy.
The shelves where the dishes are to
stand should be directly above this drain
| ing table, SO that there lis no walking to
and fro putting away dried dishes. AS
before suggested, these shelves should not
be SO high as to necessitate constant
reaching, for there is nothing more tr-
| ing.
The cheerful. comfortable kitchen is a
| treat asset, for 1t constantly repays any
| extra expenditure by the pleasure !,
gives the worker. A bright-colored limo
| cum on the floor saves scrubbing. high
| stool at the table saves standing when
\ preparing vegetables or fruit, a row OF
hooks for the spoons. strainers and other
needful utensils saves going to the cup
| BOARD for them. A large window gives
dr and sunlight-two absolute essentials
and when this is prettily curtained with
| simple muslin and all the pots and pans
are cleaning on their shelves. who say:

}FEW FOLKS HAVE
5 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are
Using Recipe of Sage Tea
and SULPHUR.

Hair that loses its color and
luster, or when it fades, turns
gray, dull and lifeless, is caused
by a lack of sulphur in the hair,
Our grandmother made up a mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful.
and thousands of women and men
who value that even color, that
beautiful dark shade of hair which
is SO attractive, use only this old
time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture by asking at any drug
store for a 5o-cent bottle Of
I "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair

the kitchen Is not one of the most at
tractive rooms in the house?
Useless Kitchen Articles.

Useless Kitchen Articles.
One of the tests Of efficiency in fac
tory is to have no unnecessary equip
ment, no article which has not been test
ed and proved useful. The efficient house
wife realizes the force of this wisdom in
her plant as WELL.
There are numberless patent devices
on the market and new ones being in
vented every day. On trip through the
kitchen department of many large stores
the unwary housewife is beset on every
side by ailuring demonstrators who
proudly proclaim the marves of the la
bor-saving articles they exhibit. But il
she buys things that have not been tested
she will soon have on her hands dish
washers which only succeed in breaking
the dishes and potato parers which crum-
pie up into bits Of useless tin after short
use; can openers which refuse to open
anything, and her only recourse will be
to throw these failures into the scrap
heap.
The wise housewife will have learned
her lesson by this experience and will
begin again along different lines. She will
buy her kitchen utensils and home equip
ment generally at a reliable store whose
very name precludes the idea Of cheap
and uncertain articles being carried.
The housewife may go watch the proc
ess of any article she desires to purchase
and be instructed in its use and, before
purchasing any article. whether expen-
sive or cheap, and especially those which
are essentially labor saving, 1t Is certain
| ly reassuring to know that 1t has been
proved to be Of value by experienced
people.

NEW HATS, HARBINGERS OF SPRING

chapeau is made of black split straw, the
cape effect at the back being made of
silk. The decorations used on this charm
ing and rather novel hat are black velvet
ribbon and pink roses. This color COM
bination, revealed in some Of the smart
est velvet hats this winter. promises to
be much liked for early spring wear, and
several society women have donned hats
with similar decorations.
The remaining hat shows how charming
is the turban when originated from fine
straw. Fashioned from milan in a won
derful shade of aubergene, its rounding
surface is prettly broken by the intro
duction of a trimming of grosgrain rib
bon of deeper tone. This Is arranged in
batwing style and held in position by
an elaborate shirred buckle of the ribbon.
Rich, dark colors will be the choice Of
the discriminating woman in early spring.
Dark green's. garnets, very dark brown,
and black just give a suggestion Of the
ripe colored straws that will form such
effective backgrounds for the lovely trim
mings Of ribbon, flowers and feathers.

spring wear. Five very pretty models
are illustrated above.
That at the upper left corner is a
brown split straw. Rather severe in
shape. it is nrettily trimmed toward the
right with brick red velvet and clusters
of small red and green velvet berries.
The model facing this is Of milan straw
in lovely mulberry shade. Flaring out
ward to the left, it possesses most be-
coming lines. Through the soft upturned
brim, grosgrain ribbon of deeper tone
is cleverIy inserted and finished in effcc-
tive ends, which are cuffed with small
fanlike' ruching of the ribbon.
The hat depicted in the center is made
of black milan. This quaint model is de-
signed with a brim that Is thickly studded
with tiny pink roses. SwathinS the
crown on the right and drawn through
the brim and girding the hair on the left
Is band of old blue velvet ribbon Above
this an effective cockade Of the blue rib
bons Is very prettily placed on the up
turned brim.
A very different mode is shown at the
lower left. 1t is designed in a quaint
way suggestive Of the Pope's hat. This

When the spring winds call cheerfully
and the birds on the southern shores
twitter gayly milady looks on her most
cherished winter hat with an air of
scorn. The silky sheen of the velvet ap-
pears no longer pleasing and the buoy
ant feather has a detected look. Then
without conjunction she relegates her
former favorite to the background and
appears in some confection that reflects
the fairylike spirit of awakening spring.
Simplicity ,characterizes many of the
smartest styles of the new chapeauX.
These are of moderate size, although
there is decided tendency to make them
rather long and narrow. Turban effects
in very fine straw with Understanding
bows, ostrich fantasies, and even
aigrettes will be readily accepted by the
fashionable women. Small flowers and
brightly colored ribbons also distinguish
some of the models designed for early

Cleaning a Flower Vase.

Flower vases with long necks can be
cleaned by filing them with hot water

Two-tone or plated hosiery comes in a
wide variety Of colorings and combina-
| tons Of colors.
Duvetyn, which has made so strong an
appeal for suitings has much in its favor
besides the exquisite colorings in which
it is to be had. It Is not only soft and
supple, but has considerable warmth.
Small draped hats of velvet with a
single feather fancy tellingly placed are
in unusually good taste.
There is no fur more altogether modish
than leopard skin, but it cannot be called
attractive.
A distinctive note of the embroidery
which Is used on gowns this season is
the degree to which 1t Is padded. APP
parently it cannot be too heavily padded,
and when the handwork Is done in worst
eds the padding is accumulated.
Tucked net is a favorite material for
frils, vests and coates of various kinds.
Sometimes there is touch Of handwork
, in silver or gold thread.
Hemstitched squares of crepe de chine
are to be had in colors as well as in
charmingly figured material. They often
are tucked into the pocket Of the waist
coat, just the corner of the squares
showing.
Some Of the popular bead necklaces are
made Of so-called Jobs tears. These
beads are the seeds of tropical grass
The range of coloring-natures owns
very wide, and the shells are hard. The
seeds may be purchased in bulk and then
strung.

that alienists declare Thaw is SUI

self which would make ii unwlse to
