A PLAYHOUSE PROVES A SOURCE
OF ENDLESS JOY FOR CHILDREN

The portable house, while much less
expensive thar a permanent bunBa-
low, has the advantage that ii can
be removed from place to place and
stored during the winter. These
houses come in pre-shrunk canvas
on a strong wooden frame, which is
put up in sections with mica prepa-
ration for window glass, although the
windows are open most of the time,
and the house can be converted into
veritable open tent at viii. The
floor is of pine, comes In sections
and should be creosoted underneath
to keep out the damp, says the Phila-
delphia Press.
If not for actual camping a small
portable house of this sort is an adj
mirable playhouse for the children
IL one has outdoor space to accommo-
date it.
While it can be furnished with dur
able, livable furniture and may have
sufficient rooms and comfort to ac-
commodate whole family, there is
no reason that a house Of this sort
should not serve as a playhouse,
when real housekeeping can be
taught, as well as the joys of from
tier and mimic life in the open"

The Living Room Catch-all

If in every living room there were

things would not be thrown into a
waste paper basket and finally upon
an ash heap.
A sort of catch-all that is incon-
spicuons as well as ornamental, and
which may be hung up, is made by
deeply facing a circle of material of
about a yards diameter with some of
the same material.
These two edges are next separately
bound in order to keep them firm and
the two layers are then partitioned
into six pockets labelled distinctly
string" tissue paper, "braids."
lead pencils "tacks" and memo
randum pads leaving the seventh
and larger pocket formed by the CEN
tire of the main circles for heavy
wrapping paper, says the Philadel-
phia Press. Along the edges of the
contriyance, between each pocket, is
attached a strand of the binding ma
terial, and these drawn together under
a big fancy button, form it's hangers.
The catch-al is pretty in printed
cretonne, figured denim, embroidered
crash or any of the substantial fabrics
of which utility bags are made. It's
braid bindings may be of silk, wool
or linen weave. Or of tinsel gimp.

happen that men in the streets might
seize upon statues and marble cary
ings from public buildings and CALLER
les and hurl them in to stop the
breaches made in their ramparts by
the enemy, unconsideringly and mere
ly because they came first to hand,
not valuing them more than had they
been paving stones. One man, how
ever, could not do this--the sculptor.
He, who, though there might be no
work of his own chisel among them,
yet knew what each of these works of
are had cost. knew by experience the
long years OF struggle and study and
the infinitude of toll which had gone
to the shaping of even one limb, to the
carving of even one perfected outline,
he could never so use them without
thought or care. Instinctively, he
would seek to throw in household
goods, even gold and silver, all the
city held, before he sacrificed its works
of art
MEMS bodies are our woman's

The Trained Frock

There are various ways of adding
a train to the evening frock. Thes,
days the train is rarely cut in on,
with the gown. Usually IL Is made
of a manipulation of drapery, pos
sibly a tunic, which is entirely
separate from the skirt proper.
Occasionally the court train is
found. This style is a length OF
material fastened at each shoulder
by buckle or jeweled pin and
sweeps the floor at whatever length
you wish. Such stately appendage,
however, is only becoming to tall
women, and a less pretentious fashion
must be found for the short woman
and the young girl
With few exceptions, this winters
evening frock is short, particularly
the dance frock. If 1t is necessary
the season it is wise to have a de-
tachable train. Such train can be
made by having a large obi bow of
velvet lined with silk to match the
color of the gown. One long end
hangs from this bow. The end is
very broad, being about eighteen
inches in width and squared at the
end, says tho Philadelphia North
American. The bow Is placed at a
high waistline, and the broad end
falls from il and trails from twelve
to eighteen inches upon the floor.
The obi train Is an exceedingly smart
idea introduced by a clever modiste
for the short woman and for the
young girls first trained frock.

Economy of Soups

The cost of living can be reduced
with little effort If only American
women will realize the economy of
soups. II is said that THE French
women can live on what the Ameri-
can woman throws away" and as
American women do not throw away
their meats and desserts, they can
economic in making of soups II the
cooking is watched and properly man
aged the results will be amazing, says
an exchange.
| can tell You how to do il only in a
general way. Never throw food away,
no matter how small the amount.
Save it for soup. Save Also all drip
pings and bones, all water in which
vegetables have been boiled and put
aside for the soup.
Add q little barley or tapioca balls
soaked over night to the clear stock,
a little celery seed. a dash of paprilSa,
salt and pepper and simmer. Never
boil soup.
Sometimes you will want a clear
soup. Take broth from the pot roast,
and for soup for the next day add
noodles. There are many ways to
cook these soups at little or no ex
pense, but the best way is to use your
leftovers and experiment in combin-
ing ingredients. and you will soon
be an expert at soup making.

About a Bunion

Will you please advise me. I
think | am getting a bunion, for
the joint is getting rather large and
at times is quite painful. I keep
cotton between the large toe and
the next, and ] paint the joint with
iodine but it does not seem to help.
Have also tried arch supporters but
they gave me no relief. ! do not
wear tight or short shoes.
Will be so pleased to hear from
YOU, and very much obliged. LII.
An excellent lotion for bunions
consists of:
GIycerine. two drachms; carbolic
acid, two drachms; tincture Of To-
dine, two drachms. Apply to the
bunions every day with a cameps-
hair brush. The portion of the shoe
which presses on the bunion should
be cut away and replaced by an
invisible patch. The removal OF
the cause, and the daily applica
ton of the lotion or few drops
of sweet oil, will effect a cure.
Here are other remedies:
Mix one part of tincture of aconite
root and three parts of tincture of
iodine Paint the bunion several
times a day, using a small camers-
hair brush.
Bind fine linen band tightly
around the foot and over the
bunion; wet this frequently in
strong borax water.
