Schooltime is upon us again. Not
only for children has ii arrived. But
for every one of us there is a certain
tightening of tension, certain end OF
the relaxation of summer to be looked
forward to- And the inexperienced
housekeeper ought to look forward
with gratefulness to the opportunity
that she may have of improving her
housekeeping education.
When you are figuring out the bud
get of your expense, how much do you
set aside for your own education, any
way. Mrs. Housewife. Probably noth-
ing. Yet you would be quite free to
grant that there are many things rel
alive to your job as housewife that
You ought to know. Usually, what a
woman does not know about house,
keeping before she marries and has
a house to superintend, she learns
from experience--or else she does not
learn at all Yet experience is very
expensive teacher sometimes, and q
little money set aside for the house
wife's education even after she has
had a good, deal of experience is usu-
ally money we'll invested, says the
Washington Sunday Star.
For instance, did you ever stop to
think how much money the woman
who has knack with her needle
saves each year and how much better
she is able to dress than the woman
who is not adept at sewing? Yet this
knaek with the needle is usually the
result of a knowledge of sewing-it
is not simply an Unborn gift.
There are all sorts of ways of learn
ing to handle a needle. In almost
every big city there are various in
stitutions that give dressmaking in
struction. Books that are helpful
have been written on the subject,
too, and these serve when no lessons
are convenient.
Some dressmaking schools give q
most interesting course of lessons.
There is fixed price for a certain
number of lessons to be given at
your own convenience. Whenever
you wish to take u lesson of a GER
tain duration of time, you may do so.
If you want to take all the lessons
in the course, one right after the
other, you may do 80. IL you want TO
let two weeks intervene between them
you may do that. You take your own
materials, and make what you please.
And YOU receive help from the in
structors while you work So in the
course of your lessons you can learn
to make any sort of frock or other
article you desire to make. III 1t is
the new wrlnkled basque that in
terests you can make that; If you
want waistcoat girdle, you can
make that.
1t is the same in every other sort
of work that you spend money for.
The better you understand 1t your
self, the less extensively you can
run your household.
The French woman's Unborn love
of cooking is really no more than
the result of instruction received
while she was young. She has a
knack at planning perfect menus be-

How to Start a Library

For those who are beginning Ii
brary and have little money to spend
l would suggest that there be bought,
say, one book each of ten great
authors 1t does not matter who the
authors are so long as they stand
high and their books are well-known
and standard ones, says writer in
the Womans' Home Companion. Let
us take as an example the following
ten, chosen at random from a cata-
logue of standard writers: Emerson,
Eliot Bronte, Ruskin, Carlyle, Dick
ems, Thackeray, Lowell, Shakes
peare, Keats, and as a selection of
ten of the books of these ten writer's
let us take in the same order Elmer
sons Essays" Eliot's mill on the
Floss" Brontes "Jane Eyre" Rus
kin's Sesame and Lilies" Carlyle's
Heroes and Hero Worship" Dick
ens's David Copperfeld,' Thack-
eray's "Pendennis," Lowell's essays
among My Books" a complete vol
ume of Shakespeare or any one of
the Shakespeare plays, preferably
Lear" or Romeo and Juliet" and
Keats Poems"
Here you have ten books by ten
master minds, books widely varied in
subject, style, treatment. Let those
ten suffice for a time. Read them.

Interior Decorations

Goldfish bowls. bird cages and
miniature Japanese gardens have
found place on the art tables. No
less a person than Poiret has de-
signed some goldfish bowls which
have real decorative value. The
miniature gardens are far more in
teresting than the ferneries, and the
Chinese bowls with their tiny pa
godas, men, storks, bridges. boats
and dwarf plants are surely worthy
of the interest given them. says an
exchange.
China and Japan have taught us
much about the decorative POSSIBLE
ties hidden in all flowers. Chinese
porcelain, richly colored in designs
that were probably inspired by the
dreams of some long forgotten artist
makes a Joyful possession when used
as Hover vases. From old Japan
come many moderately priced flower

A New Satin Bolero


One of the most attractive models
of a separate bolero is of white satin
embroidered in heavy white silk. 1t
had long sleeves pointed over the
hands and its front is rounded so that
it drops over the girdle Of the blouse
at the front and curves up in point
at the back. The embroidery is done
in solid stitch and on conventional
forms and looks as If 1t were taken
from the coat of an officer in the Zou-
aves or very rich merchant in the
East, says an exchange.
At the sides of the front are but
tonholes that are worked in horizon
tai lines and which serve for the pass
ing of ribbon velvet and a tying at
the lowest one. This coatee is worn
with blouse of tulle and Is unusu-
ally dressy The best of it is that it
can be made at home from a short
length of satin or silk for small
sum. If bought it would startle you
and your husband at its high price.

Blouse Beauty


When planning blouse that spells
practical beauty this season, you can
have infinite variety if you modify
the front line. A vest need not be
a straight line from collar to belt,

1t can be cut in scallops, points
and square tabs and trimmed with
buttons in slanting and straight lines.
The girdle can be extended in points
OF square tabs. and the whole lower
line can be made to drop over the
waist line in basque effect.
Little revers, velvet strappings,
cording and ornaments can change a
plain vest to very important factor
of decoration.
