OF a population of about S.OOO. There
was no immediate vacancy in the kinder
gartens of the public schools in the city,
so this young woman decided to have a
private kindergarten of her own in two
unused rooms in her fathers house. For
500 she fitted up her kindergarten with
tables. chairs. pictures. books and every
device necessary for the model kinder
garten. Then she made a canvass of the
town and succeeded in getting ten chill
dren to attend her kindergarten, for each
of whom she received the yearly tuition
fee Of SO This first year she paid back
the 500 she had used in fitting up her
kindergarten and so managed to net only
$500 In spite OF this small income she
perscvere6, and by raising her tuition to
SO a year and securing fifteen pupils she
earned 500 the second year. In the sue
ceeding five years she has averaged to
earn more than $1,000 a year, and this
for only a few hours of work day for
only eight months of the year.

PLAIN LINEN IS BEING
USED THIS SEASON

The sales of household linens which
occur every February are of interest to
housewives because the linens offered
are to a large extent those which they
need to replenish the linen closet Bed

cellent values are offered this season.
Italian filet, Cluny lace and English en-
broiderJ ale all shown in very elabor-
ate tea cloths. Lunch cloths with scarfs,
doilies and napkins to match may be
bought and this is often advisable as
the various pieces may be used inter
Changeabv.
Madeira work is still in favor for table
linen. and the hand-cmbroidcred Madeira
napkins of pattern sufficiently indefinite
to match most Madeira luncheon sets
are always useful
Towels in great variety as to both
pattern and quality are always to be
found in the February shops An un-
usually pretty guest towel is one of
huckaback with a damask border. Hand
embroidered cushion covers are always
cool and pretty and use may be found
for an unlimited number of them. These
come stamped in many different designs
and done in. Colors or plain white are
equally effective.
The revival in the use of plain round
thread linen has brought back a univer-
sal use of plain linen. hand-hemstitched
lunch cloths with napkins to match.
Cross-stitch is a favorable method Of
decoration and designs are in tea sets.

broidered initial in the corner of the
cloth and the napkins makes a. neat
finishing and the new Japanese initials
are especially decorative.
As to bed linens, one is usually sue
Cessful in finding the pieces one has need
of in the assortment offered or in some
interesting special lots. and this year
is no exception. Among the offerings
this year is a sheer null bedspread with
two broad woven tapes to outline the
bed and a wide henstitChed hem at the
edge Hemstitched sheets and pillow

HOUSE,

ECONOMY
CALENDAR
SCHEDULES.

Have you a schedule for your work &?
SSOr do you work in a hit-or-miss sort
of fashion:
of the adjustable sort. however, for
the woman who keeps house by sched-
ule and keeps to the schedule unfail-
ingly. is almost as much tied down
by her work as is the woman who has
no schedule, and hence has never fin
ished any part of her TASK.
Here are four suggestive schedules
A. When there is one maid.
b When there is no maid and no
outside help.
c. When there is no maid. but a
woman once week 70 help.
D. When there is no maid. but a
woman twice a week to help.
In following schedule A, remem-
! ber that there are many things
that must be left undone A busy
woman with duties and interests out
side her home. with children, perhaps,
to whom attention is due, and with
her husbands interests as well as her
own to consider. cannot possibly do
as much housework as a maid can
who has only the hOusework, aside
from her personal life to consider.
Under schedule A. Monday morning
.
to soak. Then the house should be
straightened-it needs Strengthening
after Sunday. Then the clothes should
be washed.
Tuesday: In the morning the clothes
should be sorted, mended and sprin-
killed., and daytime bread can be- mixed
and set to rise. In the afternoon the
| clothes can be ironed and the bread
baked. Simmer the weeks supply of
] l..
Wednesday: Wash the table linen.
Clean the bathroom and bedrooms Sit
down and devote the rest of the time
to your own personal clothes.
Thursday: Iron table linen. Clean
silver. Let this day he an easy one
Friday: Clean downstairs rooms.
Saturday: Clean bathroom. Bake and
cook for Sunday.
1t is far easier to distribute such
heavy work as washing and cleaning
over the whole week than to do it all
on one day.
! Schedule B. A single maid can fol-
low schedule A. But her work would
be more thorough, naturally, as it will
be less interrupted.
Schedule c. Suppose woman comes
on Tuesday.
Monday: Get house in order after
| Sunday. Wash dainty shirtwaists and
table doilies and napkins, and iron
! them. These are easy. yet tighten the
| laundry work.
Tuesday: Have woman wash clothes
and clean kitchen floor and, If she has
time and will, clean the bathroom.
Mend clothes when dry and clean
| bedrooms
Wednesday: Iron. Bake bread. Make
soup stock.
Thursday: Spend on sewing. Clean
silver. Finish ironing.
Friday: Clean downstairs.
Saturday: Bake and cook. Clean
| bathroom.
| In following schedule d. suppose a
woman washes and irons on Tuesday,
and a man cleans on Friday. The
| housewives duties would be much
lessened and she would have more
time for outside activity.
Something's by arranging with a
cleaning woman to come at ten, she
will stay and get dinner at night and
wash the dishes, and so add another
restful change to the routing of the
housekeeper's life.

February 12-Louise c. Adams.

1t is but fitting that the woman who
stands out as the patroness of the birth
day Of Abraham Lincoln should be wife
of one Of the Presidents. And a more
worthy champion could hardly be found
than Louise c. Adams, wife of John
Quincy Adams.
She was born in London. February II.
17T5, the daughter of an American mer-
chant, who had enjoyed the distinction
of having been the first United States
consul TO that city. She was married to
John Quincy Adams when she was twen-
ty-two years old. When Mr.. Adams was
appointed minister to Berlin she accom-
panied him to that court. Later she
lived with him in Washington while he
served as United States Senator In 1903
she went with him to Russia and
remained there during his service as
minister to that country, and in order
to do this ii was necessary for her to
endure a long separation from two of
her children, whom she left in the Unit
ed States
After their residence in Russia John
Quincy Adams was minister at the Court

Answers to Correspondents.

Dear Miss Marshall: Ny daughter. .
aged eighteen. Is a graduate OF a high
school and has had one year of domes-
tic science at a normal college. Funds
are getting low. Should she strain a
point. and go another year which would
give her a certificate to teach domestic
science in the grades or should she take
a position at something else in which her
training would be taken into account and
not finish her teachers course? I have
thought of hospital diettian. Can you
inform me as to the qualifications re-
quired, salary, demand. physical strain
and work and would her domestic sci
enCe training count to credit in this pro-
fession? Also, what position does the
United States furnish to persons trained
in domestic science. Sincerely.
READER.
Ny advice would be emphatically to
have your daughter complete her train
ing in the normal school, for a ccrtif-
cate such as she would then hold will be
of value to her all her life, whereas one
year in the normal school would count
for little more than the actual training
received. Your daughter is too young
and has not had the necessary expert
enCe to recommend her to a position as
detitian in a hospital. Hospital dieti-
tians are usually either graduate nurses
or graduates from colleges OF dietetics.
and have had more than a three-year
course in domestic science. The salary
is usually good. but the work is difficult
and too eXacting for a young girl of
eighteen. Occasionally there are open
mgs in domestic science offered by the
United States-especially for positions in
our tropical possessions. There are also
POSITIONS for dietitians, but these are al
ways restricted to graduate nurses. II
YOU wish to know more about these posi-
tiOns apply to the Civil Service Commits
sion. at l724 + street. II it is necessary
for your daughter to go to work at once.
my advice to you is to try to secure a
position for her a. domestic science
teacher in some private school. or indus
trial school where a certificate would not
be necessary. Such positions can some
times be obtained through the services
OF a teachers agency. Ny advice is
however. to keep her in the normal
school if this can be done without maxi
ing too great a sacrifice.
