con favors there is now in the
shops an extensive assortment,
varying in suitability to the occasion
or season. The holiday feeling is
strongly suggested in the favor, either
IN color or form, or in the manner in
which it is tied up; such, for example,
as the leather shopping lists, memo
Tsndum pads, small toilet accessories,
scissors sets, cigarette holders In leath-
G cases, etc. These are wrapped in
red and white chimney-brick paper,
trimmed with glistening cotton and
glass icicles and tied with white rib
bon. The so-called Jack Horner pie
consists Of broad wreath Of imitation
hoNy, to which any desired number Of
narrow red ribbons, tipped with holly
sprays, are attached, and when pulled,
produce favors from the wreath. This
lends an air Of speculation to the dis
iuoution Of fsvors.
COnundrum Cards for Christmas Guests
Another means OF entertainment for

1adrum cards, which are distributed TO

would be intolerableT Margarets
mother did not exactly understand, but
the principal Of the school had urged
the mothers in meeting to use material
rewards for encouraging the children
in their school work
The argument for rewards seems rea-
sonsble enough. We know that
cbild's character is very largely found
cd on the habits ne acquires. We
therefore want the child TO acquire
good habits. We know also that the
vopng child cannot be expected to DO
the right thing simply by being told
that IL is right. And we know that
urless the child does the right thing
again and again and again, he will not
acquire the desired habits. The prob
lem is therefore one Of making the
child do what you want him to unit!
the habits are established.
The child will repeat actions only If
they are associated with pleasurable
feelings. We have seen that the child
will lie. if he finds that it "pays'- and
he will likewise obey If he finds that
that pays. The work that is required
OF the child must therefore be 30 in
teresting in itself that the child would
rather do il than leave IL undone, or the
results OF the work must be so pleas
ure-giying that the child would be
quite willing TO do what is required
or. finally, the reward he receives for
the work must be sufficiently attractive
10 encourage him to overcome all the
disagreeable features, or all the dif-
fculucs.

A German Recipe
A German recipe for cooking the
capon is to roast it, stuffed and bacon
wrapped, with garnish Of noodles and
Parmesan cheese. Put two ounces of
butter in saucepan on hot stove, and
when it melts add one and a half
ounces Of -four, q teaspoonful Of milk,
salt and pepper, work TO a paste, then
add three eggs and four ounces Of
grated Parmesan cheese. Have sauce
pan Of boiling water ready and drop
the paste by small spoonfuls into it,
letting them boil quarter Of an hour;
drain and lay them on the dish around
the cspon. Serve with a good brown
gravy made from the drippings OF the
roasting pan.
Sucking Pig.
The home bred sucking pig is an
other substitute not to be overlooked.
The pig should not be more than a
month old, and when it comes from
market it should be thoroughly cleaned
with cold water, wiped dry and rubbed
inside with savory herbs. Stuff and
sew il with coarse thread; wrap the
ears and legs in buttered paper, bend
ing the hind feet under the body and
the fore feet toward the head, skewer-

that they can be cleaned by turning a
hose on them
"This home kitchen" Dr. Hutchinson
continued, SHOULD only be used in pre-
pairing the minor part of the meal. The
big staples should be prepared in a
communal kitchen. The meats and the
coarser vegetables can be prepared
here, and menu sent around TO the
homes for the housewife TO choose
from. When you come to think Of it,
there is no such thing as variety in re-
gard to meats and ordinary vegetables.
Beef, pork and mutton there you have
them all, and It would be an easy mat
ter TO satisfy any household.
Intelligent Housework Is Fascinating.
"The greatest trouble with the wom-
en- of to-day is that they have not
standardized their work." DR.. Hutchin-
son went on. "The day Of the general
worker is over When women begin TO
do their work with brains, instead Of
hind feet, they will find that house
work is simple and fascinating. There
is no such thing as dirty work. II IS
stupidity that makes It seem so. And
the longer women stay in the home, the
stupider they become.
"Then, too, women have never broken
away from the idea Of p bond slave,
and the poor creature who does all
sorts OF work during all sorts Of hours,
and whose friends and pleasures and
the clothes she wears are supervised
by her mistress she is a bond slave, If
there ever was one. Women should not
only free themselves, but they should
take the flavor Of slavery of household
work and liberate those they employ
Out with General Workers"
Or. Hutchinson never tears down ar
institution without substituting what
he considers a better one. He would
drive out the stupid, overworked gen
eral," but in her stead he would offer
skilled and trained craftswomen and
craftsmen.
"Grls should be trained 70 do one
branch of household work, and one
only Instead Of having a poor slavey

poorly, there should be one girl for

Of course, would do her particular

cialty on one home she would pass on
TO the next, and another girl would
come in and do the work for which she
had specialized.

"But what about the dishwsshing and
