The Brides Own Story


Another glorious raid on the house
furnishing basement yesterday We
had the list with us-all the utensils
that Aunt and 1 decided IN advance
would be needed. An over-equipped
kitchen is as bad as an under-equip-
ped Kitchen she declared. What
ever you do, don't join the army Of
women whose kitchens are veritable
museums Of queer and rarely used IN
struments." So ] had to give her my
solemn oath in advance that I
wouldn't coax to buy anything except
what was listed, thus:
For boiling. steaming, stewing-one
saucepan with handle, one and one
half quarts for cream gravies, egg
boiling, etc.; one saucepan with han
die, three quarts (for milk, cocoa.
vegetables soup, ete.1; two saucepanss
four quarts for large vegetables like
potatoes, for cereals, etc.; one tea
Kettle with boiler inset to save an
extra double boiler); one teapot; one
coffee pot.
For frying, sauteing, broiling--Ons
large skillet, ten-inch spread for
plain frying; one small deep iron
skillet, eight-inch spread (for deep
trying poaching eggs, etc); one wire
coaster; one heavy wire broiler.
FOR Dakng, roasting, braising-Two
slx-hole gem pans; three bread pans.
SX6xS inches; two layer cake tins, one
square and one round; two pie tins,
one deep, one shallow; one deep
earthen pie plate (for baked apples,
etc., one china-enamelled jelly mould
one and one-half pints: one iron bak-
/ ~ n
ana biscuita); one small covered
roasteri one large earthen casserole.
three quarts for stews, soups, etc.)
SIX earthen eustard cups
But having the list an ready didn't
mean that We could just blithely order
from IT. by any means. We had to be
sure that We got the sizes asked for.
Aunt Juliette says too many house
Keepers buy overly large utensils
which are awkward to handle, harder
10 clean and not attractive in appear
anee, Then we had TO beware Of sec
onds" that are often offered for sale
at absurdly low prices and which are
almost invariably terribly poor quail
lty. Then there were other things
l had to remember while selecting my
kitchen tools, like:
| Cd No utensil with seams or fiuting
allowed. Food aceumuiates in these
pretty little crevices. Result, imper-
J feet cleansing.
90 Enamel ware for fruit cookers.
| CD Aluminium for the utensilS in
which there will be "long cooking
] because 2luminum retains the heat.
| The various metals affect the cook
ing more than / ever realized For
instance, steel and aluminium affect
acid fruits, so for this purpose enamel
ware is better. And lots of the lovely
blue and white enamel ware can be
used only for pitchers or plates or
other serving, because they are apt
to chip when heated. Consequently,
| the enamel ware l am buying is a
dark notified gray, and IT viii really
! look ever so attractive on the kitchen
/ shelves near the silver-colored alum
mum ware and brown earthen cas-
| seroles.
The cost OF these things is a bit
more than I expected, and I asked
Aunt Juliette frankly whether we
weren't extravagant, but she declares
that she won't let me waste money
buying cheap things now which I'll
have to replace in a few months. So

Your Hair

Is 1t falling?
1t may be remedied.
Dandruff is the usual cause.
Massage helps a good lot.
And, gentle massage, remember.
And cleanliness is a necessity.
Also the general health is import
ant.
So there are many things that af-
feet the hair.
In this case one should take gentle
outdoor exercise.
There should also be good venttla-
ton in the sleeping room.
If necessary an ointment may be
used along with the massage.
Those who dislike ointments may
prefer a lotion made of four and one

and one-half drains glycerine and

A Soap Bubble Party

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly tell me about a
soap bubble party? There was an
article on your page about one
some time ago. At least IL was
about making bubbles. I wonder
il you can find it. / viii be very
grateful. / want to entertain sew
eral girls and boys whose ages
range from four TO eight years.
Thanking you,
MOTHER OF HELEN.
II you have one of those big.
soft gray wooden shawls your party
will sure to be q success. because
the bubbles viii roll about on IT'S
surface for long time. Provide
each child with little clay pipe
and bowl.
Then prepare the solution. Plain
yellow soap is the most reliable. It
should be rubbed patiently into the
bowl of tepid water until q heavy
lather is formed. Every particle Of
lather must then be removed from
the surface with spoon.
The bubbles will be larger and
last longer If a little giycerin IS
added to the soapy water. They
may then be blown with an oTdi-
nary clay pipe and will grow from
five to six inches In diameter With
out bursting.
Moisten the forefinger with the
soap solution and try to push Il
through the bubble well toward the
centre II the bubble will stand
this test the solution is ready for
use, but il II bursts when touched
more soap must be rubbed into the
water until the above experiment
can be successfully accomplished.
With a correctly prepared solu-
ton success in bubble blowing de-
ponds mainly upon the observance
Of two simple rules: First, the solu-
tion when once made must never
be shaken UP or stirred
To blow a string of bubbles, first
blow one from the pipe, throw II
into the air; blow a second, catch
the first, and so on. With practice
a chain of five or six bubbles may
be formed. It is simple matter
to blow a number of bubbles one
inside the other. To do this. first
pour very thin film OF soap solu-
ton upon a sheet of glass. Then
with a straw blow upon the glass
a good sized hemispherical bubble.
Now dip the straw a second time
into the solution. thrust 1t boldly
through the big bubble and pro-
coed to blow somewhat smaller
one within. Repeat the process as
often as possible and a very pretty
series of fridescent hemisphere
win result.

when the fairy queen rode away
on the back of the bluebird," Doro-
othy went on with her story, the
good fairy and the bad one began
; to quarrel again.
II belong here. Every child
should have a good fairy to guard
her, cried the good fairy, and
you must go away at once
But the bad fairy shook his head
and laughed wickedly.
I may stay at long as she listens
to me-, he cried, shaking his tiny
fairy finger; when she turns from
me and refuses to listen, l will go,
but not until then
This made the good fairy weep,
because she knew his words were
true. And Jerry shook her head
impatiently, thinking that the chat
ter of the fairies on her Shoulders
was but the singing of the sea
breeze in her hair.
Then the bad fairy whispered to
her:
There comes a dog. Hit 1t with
q stone And Jerry began to look
for stone. She liked the dog very
much, but when she heard the bad
fairy's suggestion she started to
obey, because his words seemed like
a thought in her own mind.
No, no, you must not, cried
the good fairy in alarm, and then
Jerry hesitated. The dog came up
to her and wagged its tail. Hit
him., said the bad fairy. Jerry
raised her hand, but the dog looked
up at her with soft, kind brown
eyes, and stuck cold nose in the
palm of her hand, and she patted
him instead.
IT am winning cried the good
fairy in triumph, the good always
fairy, she will not listen to you any
more
"All that day Jerry listened to
the good fairy. Try as he might,
the bad fairy could not make her
wherever she went the dog went,
too. looking at her always with
kind brown eyes.
"At last the bad fairy got dis
couraged.
you've won,' he grumbled to
the good fairy; I'll have to go
away and find child who'll listen
to me. And, gritting his fairy
teeth and clenching his fairy fists,
he lifted up his wings and few
away.
And then, all of a sudden, the
nice dog vanished. Jerry looked
everywhere, but no dog could she
see.

ward and smiled as she brought
her tale to a close. "the doc, wasn't

To clean a violin wash it very
carefully with soap and water, seeing
TO It that not a drop runs inside. or
dip a piece of soft silk in paraftin
oil and rub the violin with 1t. The
interior of the violin should be cleaned
with dry rice.
To keep brooms In proper shape
souse them about in the suds, after
boiling the clothes on wash day, bend
ing them into shape as you do this;
then rinse. shake well and stand to
dry upside down.
One of the best acids for cleaning

Washing Blankets

Blankets should be washed through
three waters, warm, not hot. The
first should have strong, very strong,
soap suds; the second less soap, and
the third just enough soap to make
the water appear milky. They should
then be wrung slightly, thrown over
the line and then pulled straight. If
they should not be dry when evening
comes, fold them and put them In a
wash basket and hang again in the
sun the following day, and the day
thereafter If necessary, until they are
