The Wrong Attitude

The girl whose living depends upon her
percentage OF sales will do we'll TO cultl-
vate an obliging disposition. Many girls
let sudden At OF "blues" or petty an
swer make an enemy Of a customer,
and then she will lose the commission
she would otherwise get. For instance,
a few weeks ago a woman went In a
large department store and asked to sec
some labor-saving devices for the
Kitchen
what kind OF device do you want
to sect" asked the salesgirl staring into
space.
IT don't know exactly" answered the
woman. "for my kitchen is quite we'll
stocked with utensils. 1 want to SEQ
something which is new to the public"
I'm sure 1 can't tell you II you don't
know what you want yourself" an

A sensible girl would have Investigated
the kitchenware until she found some
thing new for the woman customer
Surely this is not hard in, largo store
where a new device is demonstrated
every day The superior attitude which
girls affect is quite ludicrous, and, Incl
dcntally. unpardonably rude. There Is
much to be said on both sides, no doubt.

How to Make
S An XMAS Calendar

A good many girls are busy making
calendars for the new year. You can
get almost every style of calendar at
the department. stationery and jeweIry
stores. but a really nice one is quite ex-
pensive-at least for the woman of limited
means. To make It yourself is the one
solution OF the problem.
You don't have to be artistic or talented
to make a pretty calendar. The So
called Perry pictures-a miniature edition
OF classical pictures. done in sepia, black
and white, gray. etc.-are a great help.
Buy piece of mounting cardboard in
dull green gray, tan or brown, and paste
the picture In the upper part, either in
the centre or corner as your fancy die
tates The pictures are cents each, and
the mounting boards from cents up ac-
cordlng to size,
A small calendar can be bought at any
stationery store, and costs about 10 cents
Above this you can print some appro-
priate verse from your favorite poet. Gilt
printing Is pretty. Write your verse with
hard lead pencil and go over It with a
pen dipped In mucilage or q gum arabic
solution. Then cover this with gold dust
before II has had time to dry. Leave on
until entirely dry. Then shake your dust
carefully into a receptacle.
If you feel you can't read print. select a
verse from a magazine or an old calen-
dar and trace II on with carbon paper
and hard pencil.

steam your spinach7 why, never
do thatr' exclaimed a homemaBer the
other day. And your oatmeal, toof What
difference does It make?
There Is one method Of cooking un-
fortunately neglected in the average
home, and that Is the method Of steam
Ing, or cooking with moisture at very
high temperature Indeed, many house,
keepers do not know that such a method
can be used very extensively and that
IL is possible to steam-cook vegetables,
cereals. breads and meats
What is the advantage7" The whole
object Of cooking is to break down
either the muscle or cellulose tissues, to
swell and make edible the starch grains
and to render food tender enough to mas
ticate and to give It flavor enough to
make It appetizing. Let us compare the
boiling versus the steaming methods.
when we place any food. say a potato,
into boiling water and let It cook for
20 minutes until tender, we find that the
heat OF the water has softened tho starch
grains so that they are more fit for food.
At the same time We find that much OF
the valuable mineral salts have been
softened and dissolved by the water, and
that when we eat the potato we are not
getting all the materials which II orlgl-
nally contained when raw. But II we
steam-cook this same potato we find that
tho steam just rs thoroughly cooks the
starch grains, but that there Is no loss
Of any of the valuable mineral sub
stances,
What IS true in cooking a potato is
still more true in cooking other vege-
tables and foods. The steam-cooked
method permits the maximum swelling Of
grains, starch cells, etc, with a mini

ivory shade, too. It's beautiful but, how
ever do you keep It clean?"
why, that's easy enough to answer"
said the model housekeeper. ~ take a
teaspoonful OF sweet oil and add 1t to

with soft cloth dipped in the mixture
and a good white soap. This requires a
rather large percentage of elbow grease,
because white paint shows spots sooner
than any other kind, even the French
gray. But it's worth It,"

Modes Of the Hour

It II war, war and rumors Of war in tn,
fashion world. Now. in opposition to thu
military aspect that clothes have as.
sumed, comes the neutrality dress, de-
signed by the Fashion Art League OF
America.
1t Is not so much the style OF the dress,
/ although there is something Of the grace
of another day to these gowns; Il Is the
color scheme, or. to be quite accurate,
the absence OF color and the combination
Of black and white that have given the
/ frock Its name.
! Not merely as an exploitation Of fashion
was the dress conceived by the Fashion
Art League, but as an expression Of SYM
pathy for universal sorrow. The only
touch OF color permitted Is given by n
tint all our own, the American Beauty
rose.
The frock sketched today carries out
the neutrality idea by combining white
taffeta with black velvet The little over
Jacket is one OF the prettlest OF the pres
ent-day styles and quite deserving of Its
popularity.
or Without a collar and hanging free
from tlRl shoulders to the waist or hips,
or belted In by the girdle I'm the manner
Of the illustration.
The underblouse is OF the taffeta, but
the lslmono sleeve, which ends just above
the elbow, is prolonged by chiffon sleeve
that is gathered at the elbow and at the
wrist where It is completed by naring
velvet cuff
The velvet or satin banding, n fashion
much favored, is a valuable asset in Gre
ating the shorter silhouette. now found
desirable. II lessons the skirts length
of line, not actually. but as far as the
eye Is concerned, and makes n very at
tractive trimming, and II would Justify
itself without any Interior motive.
The women who make fashions by what
they wear are using the circular skirt,
In modified form, for tailored suits, but
for house frocks, dance frocks and ball
gowns. the skirt in tiers, the tunic skirt
and the draped skirt seem to furnish op-
portunities TO tho modiste In the manage
ment of beautiful materials and artistic
combinations.
The modes OF the present hour furnish
wonderful opportunities for the rejuvena-
tion Of frocks too good to cast aside and
too old-fashioned to wear without change.
Sometimes a makeshift frock in the
end has moro style and greater charm
than It had in It's days of pristine fresh
ness IL judlcious combination OF color
and material be used.
Undoubtedly there is something Of the
Victorian era In many present-day frocks.
1t Is not so much n barking back as a
bringing forward Of certain features and
converting them to practical use.
The Jacket the under blouse the full
skirt and the velvet banding are all
evolutions, but not ,replicas, Of old styles.
There iu no visible line of demarcation
when 1t comes to age and fashions. No
one is old nowadays who doesn't care
to be, and as the number OF women who
would put themselves in that category
Is few, there are also very few fashions
that are distinctive of age.
To mako a mode suit the individual Is
the thing To use q model frock is an
Inspiration and to keep ones personality
intact is the fashion gospel preached by
those who best understand the subject.

In families with children. especially, the
steau-coolking method should Be prac-
tlsed daily. All of the watery vegetables
which cohtain so many valuable salts, all
of the cereals which are not cooked ade-
uuately under inefflcient boiling methods
should be steRm-cooked. This method,
contrary to what some may suppose, Is
far easier and less wasteful than boiling.
Steam cookers come In several types
round or square, with three or four COM
partments They set over only one burner
and In this way are great fuel savers.
Instead OF having three separate pots on
three separate holes, we can coordinate
our cooking by placing all three foods
In the steamer over one burner. Nothing
can scorch in the cooker. Hence we have
a saving Of labor in cleaning dirty pots.
For dried fruits, dried fish, also, the
steamer permits much better cooking.
