Marrying for a Home

The question of whether women
marry for a home has been answered
by college presidents, by social re-
formers and by plain, everyday
women, and naturally opinions diff
fer quite as much as the various
points of view.
In one sense every right-minded
woman marries for a home, since the
home is the symbol of the new part
nership, the sanctuary of all hlgn
and holy hopes. 1t is as natural for
the normal woman to long for a
home as 1t is for her to desire the
love of q good man, but the day has
gone by when girl need be forced
to make a marriage of convenience,
says a writer in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
With the multiplication of indus
tries and the widening circle
for women's work, the number or
mercenary alliances has been re-
diced to a minimum. The educated
girl who marries so that she may be
supported is either hopelessly lazy or
else the victim of an unwise training,
which has failed to fit her for life.
Time has proved, fortunately, that
success in business, distinction in the
professions, and even fame in var1-
Gus artistic careers have not made
women less susceptible to the infiu-
ence of the most old-fashioned of
cosmic forces-romantic love, which
continues to rule even in this pro-
gressive world.
So long as love continues to exist
in the world-and that means until
the human race Is extinct-it is safe
to say that women will be reluctant
to marry for home, realizing that
more than four wallis and roof are
necessary for their happiness.

Stenciling a Library Table Cover

Dear Margery Doom:
I want to stencil q library table
cover, with chair back and couch
cushions to match. VIII you please
give me some idea as to how stem
CLING is done? MIRIAM H.
Directions for working usually
come with a stenciling outfit. How
ever, the following suggestions may
help:
When stenciling pattern iron II
as soon as the pattern is complete.
This will set the color. The best
way to do this is to place a wet
cloth over the article and iron with
a moderately hot iron until the
cloth is perfectly dry. OF course.
when mixing the paints one should
use dryer mixed in with the paint
as the color is applied. Many peo-
pie in stenciling take the precaution
of slipping blotting paper under the
part of the fabric which is being
worked upon. This Is a specially
good plan when the fabric is thin
or when one wishes to have the
coloring thin. The plotting paper
will absorb much of the paint, and
will also do away with the danger
of having the color spread on the
material.

THE BRIDES OWN STORY

kitchen had all the tools exposed
in fact, 1 secretly criticised 1t; but
aunt maintains that her kitchen is
her workshop and she doesn't believe
in hiding equipment. Everything is
kept where it's needed and where 1t
is readily seen. The stove is next the
preparing table-just> one step-and
next the stove is the white enamel
table where food is prepared for final
serving after being cooked. Right
above this table hang the PURGE
strainer, cream whips and other
things for finishing a dish; also she
has on a shelf over the table the cof-
fee percolator with the coffee in a
jar right next to it, and the tea caddy
and tea--just an arms length from
the dining-room.
She has a clever little scheme for
cleaning fruits and vegetables, too.
Mother always breads potato or even
apple paring-it does seem as IL the
peels and cores make so much clutter,
but Aunt Juliette had cute little
board placed about thirty inches
from the floor. with a 12-inch aper-
ture cut in the centre Underneath is
self on which stands the covered
tin refuse pail. When vegetables or
fruit are prepared they are peeled
and cored over the aperture and the
refuse dropped right into the pail.
No fuss or bits anywhere, and right
over this table are the vegetable
tools-apple peeler and corer, sharp
pointed vegetable knife pineapple
snip, strawberry huller, grapefruit
knife, orange peeler and other things.
All these surfaces are thirty inches
from the fioor-tables, sink and all
Aunt Juliette actually had a mar
raise the sink and tables to this exact
| height Result: She never stoops
/ when she stands preparing food, but
she has a kitchen chair on casters
which she can roll around, and she
does almost all her kitchen work
sitting down.

she thought hard for five minutes

thinking how nice it would be to

somebody a little more dependable
than Dorothy.

with a laugh, 1.-THE stones hurt my
feet so dreadful that had to take

And there, when I pulled off the
right one, three toes came off with
it. The terrible money stones were
so sharp that they had cut 'em off.

suddenly the door squeaked. 1

Dorothy come in, her pretty face
twisted into an unbecoming scowl
and her golden curlS caught up on
the top of her head in knot as
tight as tight.

"Oh, Henry finally took him for

she added with a coaxing smile:
That's why I came. 1 thought it

maybe Laddie. You haven't had

I leaned back and looked at her.

hastily cried, removing two hair
pins; "see, it's all right now"
Down came the mass of soft,
pretty hair, and Dorothy looked
once more like the sweet little girl
she is.
But why did you put 1t up?"
"Cause-'cause l thought-if you

added a little later.

with my schoolmarmiest manner.
Connected little girls aren't liked

Just your silly vanity that made

A Red Riding Hood Costume
Dear Margerv Doom;

0CaA AAdI6C lGO0UsH
Kindly tell me what to wear to
represent Red Riding Hood at
Halloween masquerade party. Also,
how to dress to represent Mary with
her little lamb, and win the thanks
of SYLVIA.
For the character of Red Riding
Hood a simple Little white dress
should be worn and over 1t a long
red circular cape with hood at
taohed. Any inexpensive cotton ma
terial will do, such as cotton Grape
or red canton flannel. You can also
get pattern for about fifteen cents
that will tell you exactly how much
material will be required. A little
basket of cookies or other dainties
should be carried and a small white
or red muslin mask worn.
Mary wears an old-fashioned
apron of checked bingham with
pockets and strings tied in the back.
This should have long sleeves and
entirely cover the dress. A school
bag or a couple of books in a strap
should be carried, and, Of course,
big woody lamb.

To Clean a White Sweater

Dear Margery Doom:
Kindly let me know through the
column the way to dry-clean q
baby's white sweater. I never had
bit of luck In washing wooden arti-
cles, and want to try the dry
method. MOTHER.
Mix salt and flour and rub thor
oughly into all parts of the garment.
Then put the whole in bag and
pour in q little more salt and -four.
Shake the bag about thoroughly,
then hang on the line and beat.
Then remove from the bag and beat
again until all salt and flour are
out. Repeat, If necessary. This
method is supposed to cleanse well
and to leave the garment light and
fluffy.
I hope that the reader who sent in
the suggestion will see this and let
me know If I have remembered cor
rectly.
