box there is a saving of 16 cents over
ten half-pound boxes, and this is well
worth considering in a family where con-
siderable cocoa is consumed. Oatmeal
can be bought in bulk to advantage. A
nineIy-pound sack of rolled oats costs
sl2, while the same amount in small
packages would cost $40. The question
is, of course, whether ninety pounds Of
oatmeal would be consumed in a reason
ably short time. In a typical Scotch
family this would decidedly be the case.
A surprising saving comes In buying
rice in bulk, for a ffty-pound bag Of
the finest rice can be bought at a saving
Of $1.O2 over the same amount bought in
small packages. Surely every family
ought to be able to use fifty pounds of
rice in the course of a year, and a real
ization of its economical properties
would make housewives use much more
than they do.
Other provisions in which NIse econ
omy can be effectec in buying in bulk
are olive oil, dried prunes, when they
can be kept in a cold place; cans Of con-
densed or evaporated milk, bacon. and
various kinds Of canned goods.
In buying spices or anything the good
ness OF which depends on perfect fresh
ness, there is usually folly in buying in
large quantities. The same would hold
tr of course, with respect to various
kind Of meal, rice, cereal, etc. in warm
weather. For then, even when carefully
protected, there is danger of insects. But
with the cool weather every housewife
can have a storeroom of her own and
there is economy to be effected in filling
your larder.

FAMOUS
WOMEN

Birthday
And
Youn
October 24-ou..n Victoria, Of Spain.

Today is the twenty-ffth birthday of
Queen Victoria of Spain. one 81 the best
beloved queens OF Europe. She is a
daughter of Princess Beatrice. a daugh-
ter Of Queen Victoria Of England.
Two famous German women were born
on October "a One of these. Anne
Amelia, duchess OF Saxe-Weimar-Eisen-
ach, was a friend and patroness OF Goe-
the and Schiller, and II was at her lit
tie court at Weimar that these great
poets were most frequently seen. There
was probably never in German history
a more brilliant society than the htae
group assembled at Weimar under the
protection OF Anne Amelia The other
famous German woman born on August
"a is Mime. Won Schlegel, a daughter Of
the famous composer. Mendelssohn. BY
her first marriage she was the mother
Of Philip Welt, a celebrated German
painter. and her second husband was
Karl Won Schlegel, a famous German
writer.
A famous American woman born on
October "a was Belva Lockwood. who
vas born in New York State in 1880. In
her early twenties she was left a widow
with one child. 1t was not long before
Mrs. Lockwood began to study law and
her greatest work was the drafting and
securing the passage Of a bill permitting
women to practice law before the Su-
preme Court OF the United States. She
married a second time when she was
thirty-eight a clergyman named Lock
wood, who died nine years later.
Another famous American woman was
Sarah Joseph Buell. Hale, who was born
October a. 17Ss. She was left a widow
with five children and in order to help
support them she turned her attention
to writing and editorial work. She was
the editor OF the Ladies' Magazine in
Boston in 1S2S. This was the first period
ical for women published in this coun-
try. She was the originator Of the Sea-
mans Aid Society and II was through
her influence and persistent agitation
that President Lincoln adopted Thanks
giving as a national holiday in 1854 She
is also responsible for Mary Had a
Little Lamb" which she published in
book OF school songs.
Marianne North, who was born in Eng
land October "a, 1890. was an English
woman who gained distinction as a flower
painter before the days when photog-
raphy was the method of reproducing
botanical specimens. She Travelled around
the world several times in search OF bo-
tanical specimens which she reproduced
with perfect exacatude. 1t was on the
suggestion of Darwin that she studied
the fora OF Australia, and at her own
initiative she toured through Japan,
China Borneo. Java, Ceylon, Jamaica,
Brazil and many other countries. She
often spent many weeks in most remote
regions and once carried on her work in
small hut far removed from any white
man.

Taffeta for Dance Frocks.

Taffeta will hold its own for popularity
in dance frocks. and no debutante will
consider her trousseau complete without
one or more Of these charming creations.
They usually have circular skirts, tight
fitting over waist and hips with godet
flares around the feet.
No matter what the skirt, however, the
bodice is wrapped or draped with chiffon
with a CLINT of gold or silver fabric
showing through or used as-decoration.
Bechoff-David brought out some won
derful metallic fabrics before the war
interrupted fashion plans, and while these
last they cannot fail to be in evidence
on nearly every gown for the debutante
or for her older sisters and cousins and
aunts, TO say nothing of her mother, who
will be queenly in black velvet and golden
tissue until the velvet supply, too, is ex-
hausted.
A touch, too, which cannot but add to
the simple beauty a debutante gown
should display is the single corsage
flower, which has again made its ap-
pearance with success.
