Webster defines mechanic as
"one who practices any mechanic
art: one skilled In shaping or unit
ing materials into any kind of struc'
ture. machine or other object re-
curing the use of tools or instru-
ments."
A man is always proud OF being
called a skilled mechanic. and as
one OF the most necessary requis-
ties to the well-being of modern life
is the cookstove. why should not
the person who uses IL ''in shaping
and uniting materials" into life sus-
tenance be employed in quite as dig
nified occupation as the one who
has made the stove?
A skilled mechanic in the kitchen
is perhaps more important than a
skilled mechanic in the shop.

 :" If by inadvertence there Is no stale bread in the house, the best thing to do to avoid risk is to cut some thin slices of the fresh bread put them in the oven and slow ly dry them. Then put them between two sheets of paper. or into clean cloth, and roll them Into crumbs with a rolling pin, or break them Up small They should not re- main in the oven until they are baked as hard as brioks-only until they are quite dry and crisp.
 Bread crumbs-especially when made From good household seconds bread-are much cheaper and are really more nutritious than the fancy rusks and biscuits so often seen In nurseries.
 There is no better breakfast for q child from a year old than bread crumbs soaked in the warm fat from fried bacon and no better dinner than bread crumbs mixed with a lightly boiled or poached egg or with beef tea or chicken broth. For the little ones bread crumbs are much better than slices or fingers of bread and butter. They can neve. give rise to the danger of choking as a piece Of bread may if 1t chance to be swallowed when too big and imperfectly masticated"

Those who have not tried this plan will be aston ished at the hardness of the butter even in the hottest weather.
 In the case of liquid articles. such as milk and cream slightly different plan must he Followed. The milk is placed in jug, if an earthenware one so much the better. and over the top is placed saucer Now drape the cloth round in the manner previously de- scribed. again making quite sure that the border touches the water on all sides.
 Another way of dealing with the milk Ia that of placing it in stoppered bottles. This has an advantage in that all dust is kent away from the liquid. In scorching weather u IS not a bad plan to treat all kinds of drinks in this way, as it will then be possible fin nave them In an ice cold condition
 Of course. at all times 1t is important that the iceless refrigerator should be kent scru- pulously clean in all its parts. The muslin should be frequently washed and frevh water provided every day.

 It should never be forg often that the ln- testines of small child are. though long. very narrow.

ishable articles can be kept in a sweet
 and cool condition even during sultrv
 days For the purpose 1t is necessary to have one or more large dishes. These may De quite shallow and need not be more than iew inches deep. Large meat dishes are suitable for the purpose. or if these should not prove to be deep enough, good sized pie dishes may be used.
 It IS also needful to secure some pieces of thln cloth, such as muslin. calico, or some such material. The next step is to fill the dish so there Is not less than about an inch of water in 1t.
 It is supposed that the article which if Ia desired to keep fresh Is piece of butter. If possible this should be placed in an earth enware bowl, but where this is not available an ordinary dish may be used Some other vessel in an inverted form is placed over the dish and this should fit as well as possible so that there is no danger of it falling off
 Now take piece of muslin and see that It IS suitable size to cover the vessel with the butter The material must be draped right over the dish in such a way that if touches the water on all sides This is an important point which should not be over looked. Sprinkle few drops of water on the muslin and 1t will soon become wet all over.

 MRS. DE C.: Do not make vour canton crepe on silk foundation. Instead have one of heavy net. It should reach half way be- tween the knees and ankles. These are abominable to put on and pull down, but seem to be essential for the styles of the hour You can then have soft crepe or thin China silk petticoat made narrow-not more than yard and a half--and split at the seam for the depth of several inches.

The accompanying illustration shows an effective design for linen handbag for summer use. It is modish now to have tho color scheme of the handbag harmonize with that of the suit it is carried with.
 This design is worked in buttonhole. eyeet, satin outline, stem, and punch work stitches
 To apply the design to the material upon which 1t is to be worked, secure a piece of transfer or impression paper Lay it face down upon the material, then draw over each line of the paper with hard pencil or the point of q steel knitting needle. Upon lifting the pattern and the transfer paper you will find neat and accurate outline of the design upon your material.
 There are two points to observe in this simple process if you would execute it satisfactorily One is to see that your material Is level, cut and folded by a thread. | and that yonr design is placed upon 1t | evenly ut every point. The second is. when | placed accurately, secure the design to the | material with thumb tacks or with pins | so that It cannot slip during the operation.
