HOUSEWIVES DAILY ECONOMY CALENDAR
The HOUSEWIVES HAND.
By FRANCES MARSHALL

There is nothing in moderate house
work that need injure the hand Of the
housewife. So the housewife who makes
excuses for q neglected hand simply in
the fact that she has 20 do housework
has a very poor case. The school teacher
who has to finger chalk and pencils con-
tinually, the stenographer who pounds
the keys Of q typewriter, the sales
woman who has to handle stock" and
even the girl Of leisure who devotes her
time TO tennis and outdoor sports, have
as many excuses for neglected hands as
has the housewife
One Of the first things to remember in
keeping your hands in condition in spite
Of housework is that they should be
protected as much as possible while do
tng hard or dusty work, and the ques-
ton Of wearing gloves while you work is
merely a matter of habit. OF course. it
feels awkward to sweep with gloves on
or TO dust with gloves on at first, but
after the first few days it becomes a
matter Of habit
There is much TO be said in favor Of
rubber gloves. but IL YOU cannot have
both rubber gloves and cotton gloves
Homework, -ther- is much more TO be SAID
IN favor of cotton gloves. Don't attempt
10 use old cotton gloves for they Will
be too tight Buy the cheapest, heaviest
cotton gloves you can find. and get them
at least a full size larger than you usual
Iy buy. They will cost under fifty cents
and are we'll worth the price. Wear them
whenever you are doing dusty work for
the dust is most injurious to hands, and
always when you are doing heavy work
when you might scratch or bruise your
bare hand. Gray is probably the most
serviceabie color. although they should
be washed every day or two.
Water is almost as bad for hands as
actual CRIME, and for this reason get in
the habit OF keeping the hands out Of
water as much as possible. Accustom
yourself to using a dish mop il dish
washing falls to your lot and ror clean
ing pot and pans use a wire dishcloth

NEW IN THE REALM OF FASHION

Long coats are in favor.
Satins will lead among silken goods.
Tassel trimmings will be modish-
Two or three TERED skirts are still in
favor.

feta gowns.
A touch OF color on lingerie is now the
thing.
Classical lines will prevail in evenir1
gowns.
There is a splash of brilliant color on
almost every dress
The tailored collar is one Of fashions
promises for fall
The bowI-shaped hat is always popular
for little girls.
Hats trimmed with fruit continue II
make their appearance.
To be fashionable the new basque must
wrinkle on the figure
A goodly number of skirts with tight
fitting yokes are seen.
The vogue for capes is steadily growing

THE Stars incline. but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST IL, 1914.
This is an uncertain day, according to
the reading OF astrology, but the good in
fiuences overweight the evil. Jupiter is in
q place strongly benefc, while the sun
and Saturn are friendly. Mercury and
Neptune are adverse.
II is an suspicious time for dealing
with scholars and all learned men. Law
yers, bishops. priests, ministers and
chanceIlors should find the sway a most
propitious one for accepting large re-
sponsibilities.
Bankers should make the best of this
days influences. which are held advan-
tageous for the exercise OF sound Judg-
ment and wise foresight.
Philanthropy is subject to a sway that
is most beneficial. Large requests will be
made to important projects. 1t is pre-
dicted, however, that facts concerning
the cost of administering important char
tiles will be brought out with the effect
of discouraging many who contemplate
giving generously.
Under this confguration, the sun Is be-
lieved to give peculiar power TO men in
authority. This should be favorable
day for international affairs. The Presi-
dent of the United States should benefit
from these conditions supposed to be FRO
duced by the sway of the planets.
There is a fortunate sign for the cd
today. They should feel an excess OF en-
ergy. They are likely to be in sympathy
with youth and to be willing to grant
favors that they would otherwise decline
to extend. .-r

attached securely to the handle Of an
old dish mop or other short handle. By
scraping up the dishes carefully and
using plenty OF hot water and soap and
a dish mop and q manufactured poland
pan mop, you need hardly enter the
hands into the dish water at all in the
operation of dishwashing. OF course you
will need to put the hands in the water
for cleaning the dish pan and washing
out the dish towels. Following that wash
the hands with mild soap and lukewarm
water, and rinse them in cold. Dry
thoroughly and II you are going 10 do
any homework afterwards. put a few
drops of lotion on the hands. draw on
the loose cotton gloves and you are ready
for the next chapter CT tue days work.
Make iL = rule never 70 wash hands
unless yoG wash them thoroughly. A
little dirt, or even u great del! II Dirt,
doesn't hurt the hands seriously, but q
little dirt washed into the hanGs a dc en-
times a day Is sure to show its effects.
So therefore II you have any houseHork
to do which is inconvenient to do with
gloves on, make a rule not to wash your
hands till 1t is all over.
For hands that are necessarily much in
soapy water sometimes a saponaceous
powder is better than a soap for toilet
purposes. There are several sorts OF
almond meal tat come already mixed. or
the housewife may rake her own meal
The following is a good rule for COM
bining this meal:
Eight ounces of blanched almonds
Cpowdered), four ounces of powdered cut
tie fish, four ounces Of powdered white
CASTLE soap. two ounces of powdered
orris root, one-half drachm of oil OF
cloves and one drahm of oil Of lavender.
Mix the almonds Id the orris root, and
stir in the oils gradually. Then add the
cutie fish and soap.
Frances Marshall will be glad to answer
in this column any questions concerning
household subjects.
