PAGE FOR WOMEN READERS
HOUSEWIVES DAILY ECONOMY CALENDAR
POINTS OF INSPECTION.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

There are some details in the house.
keeping routine over which the housewife
should always have vigilant supervision.
No matter how many servants she may
have. or how convincing her excuses to
portant no housewife can be forgiven
for neglecting these crucial points.
First OF all for health's sake the house
wife should always know how the milk
IL received In her kitchen The process
Of dipping milk from large cans is largely
a thing OF the past now that she need not
be warned to see that It is always re-
ceived in bottles. Then see that the
mouth Of the bottle is washed carefully
or rinsed before the milk Is poured from
the bottle This is a point worth insist
ing on, for the most carefully sterilized
milk may be contaminated when brought
In contact with the outside Of the bottle.
Another health precaution that every
housewife should supervise relates to the
refrigerator At least once a week the
housewife should inspect her refrigerator
20 see that II is clean and sweet. and
that the drain pipe is open. The source
Of many a case Of illness might be
traced to an unclean refrigerator.
Another detail on<which the housewife
should keep a vigilant eye is the not
altogether attractive proposition-the gar
bzge can. Insist on having all refuse
from the preparation Of food rolled into
newspaper before being put into the gar
baEe can. Then insist on having the
cover kept on the garbage can. and In
The Washington herald., 1914-07-30

spite OF all these precautions see that
the garbage receptacles OF all sorts are
scalded once a week and rinsed In q So
luton OF carbolic acid-in the proper
tions of one teaspoonful of carbolic acid
TO a pint of water.
In all points where the health of the
family is concerned. In the cleansing of
all plum bing arrangemehts. the house
wife should be a strict and regular in
spector.
There are other phases Of housework
which the careful housewife even though
she have servants a-plenty, usually has
to watch carefully. and one Of the most
important of these relates to the coffee
making. Even the best OF cooks are care
less in the way they cleanse the coffee
pot or percolator. and though there is
small likelihood that disease could start
in an ill-kept coffee pot. still there Is
every possibility that very Indifferent
coffee will be made in q coffee pot that
is not carefully washed and dried after
each using and once a day aired
Another point that Is apt to be neg
lected is the bread box. Here again
there Is not much chance for disease but
there is the likelihood that q bread box
that Is not cleaned and aired twice a
week in warm weather and once in cool
put nice, fresh, clean bread and cake.
Note: Frances Marshall will be glad to
answer In this column any questions con-
corning household subjects.

front and tying the Intervening locks at
the left on the head Or for the very
young child. the hair is parted on a per
fectly straight line with the nose. Sew
eral strands on either side Of the fore
head are caught in a small bunchy bow
OF soft ribbon. This style Of hair dress
ing Is becoming only to a child with
rather low brow.
The particular charm In either Of these
rather severe styles, lies in the fresh
ness and brightness Of the bow or bows
that set them OF. The modern little girl
has TO have hair ribbon galore and a
fancy basket kept especially for them Is
the only means by which they can be
preserved with any kind Of smoothness.
Even then they must be folded over the
fingers every time they are taken on and
the same ribbon should not be worn
oftener than twice a week. With con-
slant handling a ribbon loses its dressing
very quickly.
straightness, many mothers prefer that
it should be tied or braided loosely and
then pulled out in soft, huffy curves
around the face. For the little girl who
is blessed with curly locks, this coiffure
is very simple matter, as the hair falls
naturally into graceful lines. The smart
est way of fastening the locks In place is
with a huge bow at the side Of the face,
IL child is very small, while a larger
girl has the back locks held together at
the nape Of the neck by silver clasp
This winds in and out among the hair
and holds IT tightly in place, SO that
stray ends cannot work out easily and
fly in untidy fashion in front Of the
eyes.
The child with a very high forehead
should have II concealed by bangs, which
are again returning to favor. They are
cut with a horseshoe curve that slopes
up on either side. II the bangs are short
the hair behind the crosswise part is
puffed up underneath to relieve a fiat
look on top of the head. II the head
has quite a decided bump on top. the
part is made well back, thus effecting q
very long bang.
last and important point about chill
dren's hair is that the very short locks
at the side Of the ears should be trained
to grow up. II a mother Is troubled with
their fringing down on the cheek, they
should be soaped in place each night. In
few months time they will stay in
place OF themselves

THE STEAMER GIFT

As transatlantic steamers are leaving
their docks with crowded cabins, the
question OF what to give a friend who
would a-traveling go Is live one, and
II Is better to consider II early in the
game than be obliged to rush on at the
last moment and buy something aust for
the sake Of delivering the goodsN
Flowers and fruit will always be the
most popular steamer gifts, and out Of
the present rage for baskets has sprung
a rather pretty little Idea for sending a
corsage bouquet for each day Of the trip,
gracefully arranged in one. Such q pres
ent should be turned over to the steward.
who may be depended upon to produce
a fresh nosegsy each morning. Let II
be an inexpensive basket, however: for
no woman has the heart to leave either
this or a gift book on a steamer and
Juggling extra folderols over the Conti-
nent is anything but a pleasure. Books
have been sent to travellers SO beautiful
that they turned into bugaboos before
very long, and as for baskets, Gott be-
wahrei
A good steamer provides fine fruit
enough to satisfy the most rabid fruit
enthusiast, but this seldom or never
seems to occur to the person In search
OF a gift. Candy and beautiful assort-
ments Of waters are attractivelY put up
In metaI-lIned boxes that insure crisp
ness to the end OF the voyage. A va
riety OF. sweets wrapped in small pack
ages adds an element OF surprise which
sustains interest as lopg as the present
lasts.
Somehow advisers always take II for
granted that the traveller Is going to be
a girl, though one Of the surprises OF
Continental travel Is the number Of un-
attached rsiddie-aged and elderly Ameri-
can women going about alone from place
