How can housewife economically
set table unless she knows what is
in season and what is not and knows
the market? 1 am often asked: do
you consider q personal visit to the
market necessarily Yes, if the house
wife wants to buy intelligently and
well, because the market fluctuates
from day to day, and the quality and
grades differ SO greatly that per-
sonal visit is quite important. The
housewife may make UP her mind
while sitting at home that she will
have asparagus for dinner, but on
going to the store she will find as
paragus is 40 or so cents a bunch,
while she can get fresh string beans
for cents a quart. She will always
find that certain things are low and
certain things are high, and that also
much Is to be gained In quality by
personal choice.
L asked the manager Of q new CO.
operative store what was the most
serious obstacle he had to contend
with. He answered.: 1.-THE ignorance
| Of the women in buying; they do not
know one thing from another"
This is a serious charge, says Mrs.
( Julian Heath in the Ladies' Home
Journal.
Ask any butcher In any market
/ how many Of his women customers
/ know the different cuts of meat. He
will tell you, Not one out OF twenty
! five and then add, with a smile,

TAXES MORE THAN ELEGANCE AND POLISH The Things
TO MAKE A FORCEFUL PERSONALITY That Count

7 have perceived that about the first
requisite demanded among the very
young is what they call style"
Where they get this instinct it Is diff
flcult to say, but you see the little
girl strut and the little boy swagger
almost as soon as they can walk.
The human being reaches out for the
best there is-the biggest, the pref
tiest, the most powerful thing-at q
very early age. He Is naturally pre-
surnptuous. naturally adventurous,
naturally progressive.
Yet there is a very strange thing
about real genius, and that Il that 1t
seldom or never knows or cares a
thing about style, or rather about
fashion. and that it is difficult for the
person possessing genius to conform
even to the rules of good society"
The reason for this is doubtless that
most rules Of good society are shall
low. not based upon our common HUI
manity. and hence irksome to those
who have come into the.f own as
children OF the universe.
You can't do any really big thing
without getting down and putting
your hands in it. from planting corn
to modelling statue. When YOU see
a person devoting his DAYS to being
elegant mad polished you may be sure
he isn't person OF much force. says
writer in the Ladies' Home Journal.

IT'S A HOUSEWIVES SOLEMN DUTY TO How Else Can She
KNOW WHAT is IN THE MARKET Be Economical?

1--WE always choose the cuts for
them" One butcher told me that
he had tried to teach the women"
so as TO lessen his own work, but
1t was "a difficult matter because
they did not care to know" One
young housewife who tried to master
the situation said she could always
remember where the OK tail came
from for ox-tail SOUP" but she had
never been able to see lamb with
chops so large as those she bought"
How many women know the SIM
plest commercial terms, the different
grades of coffee, the different kinds
and grades Of tea, and how much a
pound they are paying for products
they are buying in packages? To
put it badly, how many women
really know what they are buying
and whether or not they are getting
value received for their money? I
believe that every woman who reads
this Will agree that there are very,
very few. Yet the women who have
begun studying the market-and
there are Some-agree that the study
is so fascinating and SO interesting
that the women not only are MASTER
ing the question OF production and
consumption, but are also returning
to personal marketing and ceasing to
market over the telephone or down
the dumb-waiter shaft. The only
trouble is that the number of these
is so small.

How many of you read yesterdays
story?
And how many remember where
we stopped?
Dorothy Dear and Mary Elizabeth
Brown were looking for their
brothers, Davie and Billy. The boys
had been gone several hours, and
the girls had searched and guessed
until they were quite worn out.
Dorothy had suggested several
kinds of kidnapers, and Mary Eliz-
abeth was quite sure that the boys
had been run over by a trolley car
and killed, or OF least had their legs
cut off.
As they couldn't agree they de-
cided to so home and tell their
mothers, who didn't know that Da-
vie and Billy were lost. In fact,
nobody knew it, outside of Dorothy
and Mary Elizabeth.
I'D rather have them kidnapped
than killed by q trolley car" said
Dorothy, as she and Mary Eliza
beth turned their footsteps toward
home.
I'D rather have 'en killed." Mary
Elizabeth gloonily insisted; kid
anyway, If our fathers didn't have
enough gold. II they were in the
hospital we could go and take them
things" she added i'll a more cheer
full tone. Il love hospitals. They
always smell SO funny, like medi-
cine or something"
81 don't" Dorothy shivered. "One
time mother took me to see my
cousin when she had her throat
fixed, and while we were sitting
there [ heard somebody scream.
And when ] asked what 1t was they
just said it wasn't good for little
girls to know. Mother told me aft
erward that 1t was little boy hav-
ing his arm put in sling. They
gave him ether so he wouldn't feel
the hurt, and it scared him. He
fell off a wagon, stealing a ride"
There! Didn't tell you? That's
just what Davie and Billy did,"
cried Mary Elizabeth, standing still
and gazing at Dorothy and
triumph; II knew they got hurt all
the time"
Mary 'Lizabeth, don't be silly"
answered Dorothy; you just
imagine things and then say they're
true. If the boys"
She stopped short, for wild yell,
in which her name and Mary Eliza
beth's mingled with an invitation
to come on" somewhere, smote
upon her ears.
What was that?" she and Mary
Elizabeth demanded of each other,
looking about In terror.
The next instant they found out.
Galloping toward them were two
dirty little figures, which they
recognized after a second and third
look as Davie and Billy. Their
clothes were smeared with some
black substance, and SO were their
hands and their faces.
"They look like railroad engi-
neers,' giggled Dorothy, and then
she added, sternly, "Davie Dear,
where ever have you been?"
And what's all over you?" asked
Mary Elizabeth, backing away as

BIG TREES SCARCELY LESS BEAUTIFUL
IN WINTER THAN IN THE SUMMERTIME

Now the big trees, which are the
central features OF the summer gar
dens, are scarcely less beautiful in
winter.
The dignifed outlines of their tops,
the effects OF size and permanence,
are as great now as then.
The interesting Municipalities OF
trunk, and especially Of the tracery
OF branches, are more evident during
winter than in the full LEAKAGE OF
summer. In short all our summer
trees are just as good in the winter
garden, and If we have not usually
seen SO much in them 1t is only be-
cause our eyes were blinded. and our
hearts hardened, and we did not look
with sympathy, says Frank A.
Waugh in the Woman's Home Com
panion.
There are some trees more pleasing
than others, of course, in their win
ter costumes. The good domestic ap-
pie tree, for example, is one OF the
most picturesque and desirable. The
wild crab apples, too, and the native
hawthorns, have most jaunty and
attractive look with their horizontal
snow-covered branches.
The oaks are admirable winter

That the appearance OF idleness and
elegance is the desirable thing, rather
than that of usefulness and force, Is
the delusion that has brought Us to
a condition where all too many are
trying to escape service in the real
battle of life. Men are willing to di-
rect things. to spend all the mental
force they have in thinking out big
problems and planning great indus
tries, and women are asking to be
given the cares of state and are seek
Ing charity work and expressing will
lingness to be of service We hear q
lot about empty hands among the
women of the world, but nobody
wants to wash the dishes and cook
the beefsteak and pillow the corn ard
feed the pigs. This proves the human
race to be still in its infancy. You
never saw child who would not rebel
at being put to work on the simple
things he can do. Invariably the child
wishes to attempt something much
moro pretentious than the little be-
ginning we set before him.
The people who accept the actual
work of the world with all its perspi-
ration and CRIME are the grown
ups; the rest who seek the shelter of
the pleasant places" placid in the
idea that they are theirs by right, are
the little children who must live and
learn.

trees; and the plane trees with their
white scaling trunks make pleasing
sketches against the snow or against
the winter sky. The various birches
ought to be especially mentioned and
everywhere planted for winter eff
fects.
Most people are fascinated by the
brilliant picture of the white trunks
amidst summer foliage, but the
artistic effect against the snow is
more pleasing and refined, just be-
cause it offers less violent contrast.
The American paper birch is usually
the best of those having white bark,
the European species being subject
to serious insect attacks and being,
aside from this, wholly inferior in
point of grace and beauty.
Then there is the yellow birch with
it's shaggy, shreddy bark, one of the
very finest of the genus, though it
succeeds only in cold, moist soils.
The black birch, too, though a very
common sort of tree in the eyes Of
thoughtless persons, has its own
qualities of beauty, coming into
special emphasis where it shows
along the borders Of the winter
woodlands.

her brother drew near. Don't you
touch me, Billy Brown, with those
hands,
Come on, Mary 'Lizabetb,"
cried that young man, his round
face glowing with excitement and
delight, its the mostest fun we've
ever had in o lot Of years. Come
on, Dorothyi" He turned on his
heel and ran down a narrow street,
with Davie following, pelI-mlell, and
yelling Don't you begin till [ get
there"
Mary Elizabeth looked at Doro-
thy and Dorothy looked at Mary
Elizabeth. Elder-sisterly disap-
prevail vanished from their faces.
They clasped hands and scampered
down the alley to see what this
"mostest fun" could be.
Davy and Billy were on their
hands and knees before q grating.
In their hands were long sticks,
which they were industriously polk
ing through iron bars. Dorothy
hesitated moment, then pumped
to her knees and peeped down. On
the ledge under the grating were
several short pencils, and it was
the pencils that DaVie and Billy
were striving to get.
They had plenty of pencils at
home, you know. It was the joy Of
the chase that counted.
"Whats on the end of the
sticks?" asked Mary Elizabeth, as
she, too, got down on her knees
and looked through the bars.
Wagon grease" Davie told her
briefly.
Wagon grease? What's It for?'
IF you're going to stick around
and ask questions you can't play"
cried Billy, with brotherly polite
ness, tits for the pencils to stick
to, SOS we can get 'em out, o.
course. Anybody but dummy d
know that"
"I'm not dummy" promptly
fared Mary Elizabeth, and then
curiosity got the better of her in
dignation. Where do you get the
wagon grease?" she wanted to
know.
"Off O. wagons" said Davie, 1--WE
wait till one comes along, and
then we run out and poke the
sticks in the grease. I've got three
pencils out, and Billy's got two"
Dorothy and Mary Elizabeth
watched with growing interest.
w H0u OAS VI the DOyS would al
most secure q pencil stub, and then
1t would drop back, they would
squeal with excitement.
"Where'd you get your sticks?
I want to fish, too" said Mary
Elizabeth at last.

Carriers

Fancy garters to go with embroid-
cred silk stockings and jewel-sewn
satin slippers are among the most
alluring of the minor accessories of
the toilet.
Easiest to fashion are the strips of
wide elastic covered with pale-toned,
plain satin ribbon thickly sewn with
rhinestones or pearls.
Shirred white net, yelling pale silk
elastic bands, makes stunning garters
when decorated with q frosting of
tiniest crystal, silver or gold beads.
Still lovelier are the garters of
shirred satin ribbon garlanded with
the tiniest OF flowers in satin, velvet
and gauze.
The girl who likes to employ her
self with dainty needleworlz can
make, at comparatively small ex-
pense. pairs Of these garters for her
feminine friends.
