For War Knitting
A Helpful Method of Wind
ing Yarn.

~ these busy days Of Red Cross
work, when knitting needles Of all
sizes and speeds flicker in and out
Of sable colored yarns, one of the most
helpful things there is to know is how
to wind your yarn.
The ordinary fashion Of beginning to
unwind your ball from the outside oc-
casions much waste Of time, for the
unruly ball slips unheeied of your lap
and yards are unwound before you
have succeeded in once more securing
it to your person. Avoid these useless
excisions by winding your ball in this
manner:
Place the yarn around the back Of a
chair Of convenient size; begin By
keping free an end about ten inches
long. then wind ball, keeping two
fingers in single centre and hold ten
inch end free until entire skein is
wound: tuck outside end under; draw
ont fingers from centre, holding to ten
inch end. With this end begin your
knitting. Thus the ball unwinds from
the inside centre, the wool escaping
only under the knitter's guidance.

Of third degree Ny explanation IS

toner for a trial, at least, and when
once pleased the trial continues IN

a smile.
Studies the Shops.
"The simple truth Of the matter IS
this: After weeks Of investigation into
certain neighborhood markets and
shops, large downtown concerns ana
standard markets, | arrange 10 bring
my clients TO them, fguratively speak

mission which in no way affects the

"If there are any Auctuating price
advantages l am at liberty to secure
such for my clients, but it in no way
affects my income or places me under
obligation to the merchant. The saw
ing of few cents for my clients is
matter Of my own wltchfulness Of the
market, and az the weeks run into
months an appreciate saving on their
bills is a result.

they do their own marketing they go
to the shops on pleasant days, but on
rainy or busy days they depend on
their telephone, and trading in this way
at the same shops they cannot be fully
awake TO the constant varying Of mar
ket prices.
Cooperative Family Buying Beneficial
"Co-operative family buying would be
great solution Of the so-callcd high
cost Of living problem, but women seem
very slow in adapting themselves to
the idea.
"If it were left to the men Of the
family it would become reality in a
short while, for men seem to grasp
time and labor saving ideas much more
quickly than women. Perhaps that is
due to their business training and their
habit Of fnality."
It is partly because of the telephone
habit that the only unpleasantness
Miss Meier complains Of creeps into
her work. Women are always re-
membering something else" after they
have given an order.
Necessarily one feels that only the
things which nature protected with
skins so they may be washed are really

very full and wide almost shspelcss,

pelt, the head Of which drops in front
between a splendid tassel brush and
an equally impressive pendant loop
Of velvet.
Baby Coyote with Taupe Velvet.
Gray-brown fur, which may be young
fox or baby coyote, so soft in its long
haired surface, is at its happiest when
made up with dark velvet One large
Small set" includes a tsupe velvet
cape which crosses the shoulders in
long shawl manner. Going straight
across, it is a considerably elongated
kitten fox, whose head and forepaws
lie over the right shoulder aud breast,
while its rear paws and its heavy
brush drop upon the right arm to the
wrist.
A twisted velvet strand connects the
edges Of the scarf, while the top of the
cape portion is finished with broad
velvet collar which flares backward
upon he fur. Narrow, long and elab-
orately shirrcd and frillcd at its
sides is the velvet mufT. Across its
outer side sprawls an entire fox. The
head presses down ono upper corner
Of the mufT, while diagonally from it
the brush and rear legs hang into
space.
Ermine's adaptability to whatever
fashion may be the rage Of the winter
is charmingly expressed in a "small
set" whose ncckpiece is full grown
cape. Although Of about the proper
tons Of the familiar Raleigh cape, ii
is Of utterly different shape, for in
stead Of being straight cut il is
shaped TO half oval, and partly
across the top is gathered under a
band Of white fox. Because an entire
animal is included in the band collar,
the cluster Of gathers at the left top
edge Of the cape come just in front
Of that shoulder, while at the opposite
side similar gathers appear several
inches above the root Of the brush.
As the legs flank the brush, il will
easily be perceived that the collar por-
tion Of this white cape goes far tow
ard warding of cold from the chest Of

fluffy white foxes banding the mur

and as each animal has its brush and
it's four legs intact no supplementary
trimming is necessary.

truth is. the markets are too far from
the really poor neighborhoods which
they were supposed originally to bene-
fit, the women having neither time
nor carfare to take them such a dis
lance to save few pennies on their
provisions"
Miss Meier after her school days
were over received a missionary train
ing, soon after which she assumed
charge and remained for number Of
years at the American School for the
Deaf in Hartford, Conn. But the newer
professions that were constantly open
ing for women, especially those help
full to other women, appealed more
strongly to her than did the iEstitu
tional work she was engaged in, and in
carefully thinking them over and
weighing her own qualifications she de-
cided that in every way she was best
fitted TO be a market commissionaire."
Special catering for dinner parties is
another branch Of her work; she not
only does the marketing and plans the
menu but she follows it up to compile
ton, even giving plans for the dinner
decorations if desired.
Open Markets a Failure.
Miss Meier has many original ideas
which will aid in making her work
definite and tangible profession for
those who follow in her footsteps. The
profession, she says, is not an easy one
with its long hours, outdoor work in all
weathers, constant attention to accu-
tate detail.
Discussing the open markets, Miss
Meier said she felt they had not full
filed their mission, that of helping the
very poor 10 reduce The cost Of livi. =.
They are horribly unsanitary; the
food is exposed to the dust of many
automobiles and wagons; it is handled
by customers during the day, until it
