SCIENCE FOR THE
YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS

Until the science of housekeeping is
taught generally to young women. or
until housekeeping is no longer car
ried on by the individual family. the
young housekeeper will meet with
many puzzline questions in the course
of her daily asks.
In the days before scientific house
keeping was known the tasks be1ore
the young housekeeper. even the lg-
norant one. were not so perplexing.
She coulG learn from others. and by
experience, how to have the house over
which she presided properly cleaned; cleaned
and ventilated and lighted. And from
the same sources she could learn all
there was to know about cooking ana
the planning of meals.
But today the young housekeeper learns
that the usual methods Of lighting ruin
the eyes-and that the health of the eyes
affects the whole health of the body. She
hears from one presumably authoritative
source that room is not necessarily
properly aired when the windows are
opened top and bottom She hears also
that even outdoor air may be decidedly
impure. One authority advocates Sleep
ing without pillows, almost without mat
rresses. Another declares all drapery in
sanitary. She almost longs for the COM
Portable days when feather beds, car
pets. kerosene lamps and heavy curtains
were the rule.
AS for the food she purposes furnish.
ting her family. ii is probably all wrong
according to modern standards. From
books, perhaps from a course Of lectures
she learns that rice is starch; that the
white Of egg in meringue is not q
dainty accessory to a dessert, but in
stead such percentage of the daily
bodily requirement of protein; that the
salad of tomatoes and lettuce is no,
served simply to add another course to
dinner and diversity the menu, but te
furnish acid and mineral matters to the
system and that the butter on the bread
and the oil in the French dressing ant
the cream whipped on the top of tht
bouillon cups all have their part in max.
ing up the daily requirement of fat.
The only thing for the puzzled young
housekeeper who wishes to understand
why she does the things she does is tt
study-there are many good books on ths
sub5ects interesting her-and to do the
best she can In the meantime TO keep the
family she cares for healthy and happy.

FOR. THE HOME NEEDLEWORKER.

but narrower band trims the top, the
edge of the lace pointing downward. A
soft olive-green silk for the screen and
old pink under the lace make very
bits of pretty fabric. however. may be
utilized. because it is not necessary
that all the panels be alike. The cen
ter one could be of embroidery or tap
estry, and those at the sides of a plain
color, shirred or laid in plain, this de-
pending upon the kind of material en-
ployed 1t goes without saying that
sheer goods must be gathered.
Cretonne for the entire screen is not
to be despised. 1t should be finished
top and bottom-in fact, all around. if
one prefers-with a furniture gimp not
more than one inch wide. If the room
is furnished in cretonne. the same can
be used with good effect for the screen.
Bits of brocade or silk that contrast
or harmonic make beautiful screen
Should the scraps of these goods on
hand be insufficient for a screen they
can be used in constructing very
dainty sewing basket. To make such
a basket:
Cut a foundation of cardboard in a
long egg-shape. about eight and half
inches in length and four or five inches
cardboard an inch or so in width is
glued all around, and the basket COW
cred inside and outside with the silk
Another short strip of cardboard is
covered and set in the basket, dividing
it into two compartments of equal size.
One of these compartments is filled in
completely with a pincushion. the other
forms a receptacle for a couple OF
spools of thread and a thimble. The
edge of the basket is finished with
rosebud trimming, or inch-wide lace
can be laid all around. the edge of the
lace placed upward. The handle of the
basket is strip of covered cardboard
fitted with a loop. which holds pair
of small scissors.
This basket is a useful as well as a
decorative addition to the guest room
and costs practically nothing more
than the labor involved.

IN THE BATHROOM.

Soap left over from the toilet, the
laundry and the kitchen is usually con-
sidered so much waste. It is thrown
out. though probably most housewives
have misgivings as to tho extrava-
gance of not using the last scrap of an
expensive or good soap. but small
pieces of soap should be saved. No
matter to what tiny dimensions 1t has
been reduced it will help to clean the
bathtub and the washstand.
This may be accomplished BY means
Of substantial cotton or woolen bag,
which should be about a foot skuare,
and made with q drawstring. Into 1t Is
dropped the bits Of soap collected from
the bedrooms. the bathroom, the lAun-
dry and the kitchen. Tho bag should be
closely drawn at the mouth and the
string wound about the top and then
tightly tied. When this bag is dipped
into water, the contents give forth
plenty of suds, and the whole may be
used as a cleaning cloth to scrub tho
bathtub and marble bowl. It IL not gem
orally known that the ordinary brown
kitchen soap is strong disinfectant.
Lye is an ingredient in all brown and
yellow common soaps, and for this rea-
son these soaps have a distinct dfsin-
fectant value. Turpentine Is very good
for cleaning an enamel or porcelain
tub.
In tho common bathroom of 3 large
family confusion may be prevented by
pasting the owners initial over each
towel rack which runs along the sides
OF the room. These initials may be as
ornamental as you please. Tho plan
is far more practical than the attempt
at different designs in the towels
A portable bathtub suitable for chill
dren may be made Of rubber over \
strong wooden folding frame. The
plan includes a faucet for the outlet Of
waste water small pockets on the out
side at one end to hold accessories to
the babys bath and a little folding
towel rack at one corner. on which the
bath towels can be conveniently hung.
An attractive adjunct to tho bath
room equipment is q little glass shelf.
The brackets and bar are nickel plated
and may be attached to the wall by
means Of nickeled screws. Such a shelf
is used to accommodate labeled bottles.

Raspberries With Rice.
| One of the simplest ways in which rasp-
berries may be combined with inexpensive
materials is to use them with rice. Cook
the rice in milk, pack it into a jelly mold

| berry sauce. To make this boil cup of
