For the Young Bride

Haven't you a feeling OF pity for a
young housekeeper, you veterans in the
art of cooking and comfort?
She may start of confident that sue
cess will crown her efforts, and that Tom
has married the best little homemaker in
the kingdom, or she may begin her new
life troubled in spirit at the hugeness
of the task that lies before her-the en-
tire management of p business" that
till now has been a sealed book. Which
ever way she faces It, there are pitfalls
ahead for her inexperience
In the former case the bride may not
be very amenable to advice and sugges-
tions from older housekeepers, in the
latter she may be too shy TO broach the
subject. but in spite OF this antagonistic
or nervous attitude older women should
try naturally and nicely to impress upon
these novioes the very real dangers that
lurk in the kitchen.
How many accounts at different times
have there not been of burns caused by
pouring on a little kerosene "to brighten"
a dull fire? To attempt to pour kerosene
on smouldering embers is sheer madness.
This Is a common cataBtrophe; return
to the kitchen and you will find many
dangers w-iich.-you. probably have forgot
ten.

the wife's craving for admiration. Some
times tins craving develops through neg

men imagine that once they are mar

which so charmed their wives in the court

a rowing spirit. and, falling TO fnd sppre-

THE EXTRAVAGANT WOMAN
How She Decide d to Cure Herself

| The country girl and her city cousin
were trying to press their, way in and out
among the Christmas shoppers, Every
where about them were attractive dis
plays Of leather goods, ribbons, gowns,
Jewels, wonderful furnishings for home
and country place. The country maiden
sighed as she looked at all the tempting
display.
"Oh, dear, wish didn't have to look
at so many pretty things; they positively
make me peevish. I'd like to buy every
thing 1 see. They're 80 beautiful"
"Yes. dearle. and so expensive" added
the city girl. You know how Well all
these things look, but you have no idea
how much they really cost"
why, look at that perfectly stunning
camisole; that isn't expensive. 1t only
costs 50. We really can't pass 1t by'"
$50 you're caught, are you, my little
cousin? I thought your thrifty country
spirit would save you, but evidently such
cheap-seemingly SO, anyhow-only helps
along the high cost of living. look at
a collar I like for 80 cents and then go
right to work and fall in love with one

but buy the expensive one in the end"
well, that's the one idea of trade, my
dear. Folks aren't in business for fun,
you know. They want. money. It's their
business TO get our money, and they GER
tainly succeed! There are so many pretty
things which cost just a little more than
you are prepared TO pay And you buy
them Just the same. just as the wise
storekeeper knows you will.

A New Christmas Suggestion

You probably wouldn't believe that a
quarter Of yard of scrim would make
charming series OF Christmas gifts, but
such feat was accomplished by one
clever girl. 'You see," she said, father
died in the year and Just had to econo-
ml2e on something. The younger children
had to continue their schooling whatever
happened, and had to buy things which
we couldn't do without, such as shoes
coats, eatables, etc. So made up my
mind to keep all my gifts within a GER
tain limit. When found that even this
wouldn't cover my expenses, began to
buy them in bulk, as 1t were. So I hit
upon the idea OF tho boudoir cushion.
These dainty little presents are awfully
easy to make at home. Cut your mate
rial the size Of the cushion you wish to
make. Now measure off a one-inch hem,
draw six threads, count 40 stitches to
the centre. A stitch, you know, is two
threads each way. II you are any good
at embroidery, a charming touch of color
may, be added in the shape Of a wreath
This may be done in the popular ribbon
work, cross stitch or plain hand work.
You must take particular care to find the
centre when you begin to embroider. Thir-
teen stitches from that will be the centre
OF the flower on any side. You can work
the flowers in pink, with yellow centres,
and the leaves in a pretty shade of dull
green. In parti-colored ribbon this is
stunning.
OF course, the under side is made Just
like the top, only plain Press each piece
separately under a damp cloth when
finished, and lace together with pale,
fiesh-coloIed pink ribbon, tied in bows
at the corners. Use a rather coarse quail
ity Of scrim and the result will be better.
Another novel pin-cushion is made OF
pale pink linen, with pure white en-
broidery Take two pieces of linen nine
inches square and make the usual inch
wide hem on it. About a quarter of an
inch from the hem draw several threads.
Hemstitch on either side to make a mar
row beading for a ribbon. When you
draw this through your cushion II is kept
securely inside. A monogram can be
worked in the centre with very little
trouble and practically no expense. A
quarter Of yard of linen. SO inches wide,
is enough to make two cushions. The
cushion proper is made of white cambria
stuffed with sawdust.

Christmas Candy
A Useful Suggestion

The basis OF almost every French candy
is fondant. This is the personal inven-
ton of famous French confectloner, but
1t can be successfully made by any care
ful American cook. The schoolgirl who
wants to entertain her young friends by
candy pull will enjoy the fondant party
much more, once she has learned to make
the candy heRSef
Here is the recipe: Add two cups Of
water and pinch OF cream tartar to one
pound OF granulated sugar. Stir this until
the sugar is all dissolved, and no longer.
Put the mixture over the fire in granite
pan, and while it Is boiling remove every
crystal which appears on the side of the
pan. Let this boil for about six minutes.
then draw it back from the flame. Dip
fork in the syrup and then plunge 1t
in cold water If IT forms soft ball
it is done.
Then this must be turned out on a plat
ter very quickly Do not scrape the
sides OF the pan. When the'tondant looks
thready across the top turn the edges
into the centre. Do this until the mixture
is about blood heat then beat with q
wooden spoon until II begins to crumble
Turn this out on a board and knead II
until 1t becomes a soft, smooth mass,
This can be packed in a bowl. covered
with oiled paper and kept until needed.
1t win keep for very long time and
may be used for bars, loaves, dipping and
patties.
Slowly knead the fondant after you
have taken it out of the bowl so as to
keep II all in one ball and smooth,
creamy surface. AS French candies are
nearly all hand made, you have almost
unlimited opportunities for originality in
coloring, decoration, fRyoring, etc. The
clever amateur will find a good chance
here to make the little extra and always
necessary spending money

TOO many women have deeply rooted
craving for admiration born in them. and
this proves to be one Of the hardest
shlnes to overcome. Unfortunately, how
ever. the woman who labors under this
handicap seldom or never wants to over
come it. and win rarely even admit the
falling

be a nice. attractive woman II 1t were
not for her intense love Of admiration"
This failing Is not alone confined to
pretty women. Some OF the homeliest
looKIng people have the craving very
badly indeed. when this is the case it
generally plunges them very deeply into
g sea OF extravasance as TO clothes. rhe
plain woman consoles herself with the
reflection that fne feathers may make

proverb. Manners maketh man, but

The love OF admiration will certainly
lead women to do the most odd and
extraordinary things. Some of the very,
frealsishIy dressed persons are exceeding
" homely looking. One wonders why on
earth they should deck themselves out
as sort of public laughing stock. ,sr
The-ether day two women were walking
down a prominent street. one being very
pretty and rather quietly dressed, while
the other was very plain-looking and ar
rayed most garishiy. Several people turned
their heads to look after the couple. and
The pretty woman was obviously embar-
rsssed. Her companion, on the contrary,
was delighted with the notice they were
attracting, and said
"Just look how all the men are admir-
ing me. Mary. do wish you would
smart up a bit. and dress more like me,
then they would stare at you, too"
Her pretty. quietly dressed companion
shuddered and marveled inwardly that
the love OF admiration could ever lead any
woman to such ridiculous extremes as
those In which her friend indulged.

happiness and the home of many mar
