" HE first cool days OF autumn tend to
renew our interest in the warm bed
n coverings that have been discarded
for the summer and being dis
played once more in the shops in a fascinat-
ing array Of soft, downy coverlids and feeoy
blankets. Not that it is possible to vary the
selection to any great extent in a feature so
conventional, yet the very freshness OF the
wool and the delicate coverings now used IN
blankets make them temptation TO buy.
For practical use the cream colored blanket
with the broken striped pink or blue border
is unquestionably the one most popular where
the grade and weight of the wool are consid-
Grafton more important than the color. These
have wide range Of prices and, as experience
has taught us, are readily cleaned. But a
pleasing variation to the stripe is the cream
colored blanket with broad floral border in
place of the stripes which can be found for
S. pair in the double size and SIS for the
single bed size and which come with yellow,
lavender, blue and pink borders to correspond
with the usual bedroom color schemes.
More attractive than these, however, are the

vet not differ in weight or warmth. Comfort
abIes made Of brocade with plain satin borders
nc well as the solid colored satin are also seen,
wool lined, from SIS to $40 in the double BED
size.
For the bedroom where the old-fashioned
furniture. such as the four poster bed, demands
consistent bed covering, the patchwork quilt
can be found in the newer and more delicate
colors from $3.50 up if family quilt is not
available. For general use the daintiy en-
broidercd muslin spreads are the most ef-
fective where white is carried out on the bed
and the plain linen with embroidered centre
monogram, where color is desired.
In bed linen the scope of prices is so ex-
tensive it would be almost impossible to estab-
lsh definite vogue, since here again, for the
modest purse, quality and durability must Of
set the decorative effect In the less expen-
sive linens the hand embroidered, scalloped
edge pillowcascs and sheets will be found
comparatively inexpensive substitute for the
embroidered bed linen in floral patterns that
is necessarily high priced, and an attractive
variation Of the usual hemstitched sheets and
pillowcases.

feeling that he will have to take his
share when the time comes. With
girls, however, the matter is different.
But not because girls are necessarily
different "by nature" II is apparently
a difference arising out of old tradi-
tions, for children will do their part TO
meet the prevailing expectations.
This is shown by the fact that in GER
tain classes of society the only picture
the girls can form Of their adult state
is that of managing a household or act
ing as hostess; whereas among others,
looking forward TO work at wages is
the regular thing. II is taken for
granted that the girl will become a
wife and mother, or il is taken for
granted that the girl will earn her liv-
ing. And with comparatively rare ex-
ceptions, the assumption thus made
will give color TO the girls outlook and
tone to her work Of preparation.
In spite Of the fact that women are
entering gainful occupations in ever
increasing numbers. and in spite Of
the fact that women remain at work"
longer and longer periods. it is still to
be expected that most girls will marry,
and that they will become heads Of
households and Of families. The prob
lem Of training for the adult years is
thus complicated for the girl in way
that does not appear with the boy.
With the boy grown up the vocation is
the main concern or his time and
thought; marriage and family are con
sidered TO be rather incidental. With
the girl grown up. on the contrary, the
home must be the chief concern. where
as any other occupation is considered
incidental.
Since it is impossible TO know be-

of confidence to feel this reserve
strength of fitness. Moreover, accord
ing to the newer views in education,
the culture and training to be gained
through becoming an expert worker in
some useful line are just as valuable
as those to be acquired through the
old-fashioned general" education.
And yet we cannot help feeling that
there is certain element of unreality
in training girls for work with men
tai reservation or hope that they will
not make use of the training. Is it
quite sincere to drill Dorothy in de-
singing or telegraphy, while wishing,
and while teaching her to wish, that
she may escape the necessity of ap-
plying her skill?
II is impossible TO solve Dorothy's
problem in an entirely satisfactory
way, unless we are willing TO face the
larger question of woman's work and
of woman's place in the new society.
The rising generation will have to
solve the problem. Can we help them
better by ignoring it and making our
individual adjustments as best we can,
or can we accomplish more BY looking
at it squarely and, accepting the con-
ditions, fight through TO some conclu-
sion?
Our daughters are growing up, yours
and mine. Must we anticipate for them
the choice between life Of idleness on
the one hand and the unsatisfactory
conditions that prevail in most
women's occupations on the other,
Must we accept for them either casual
work and all this implies-perhaps for
a short while, perhaps for lifetime
or rs the only alternative an expensive
training for high grade efficiency that
may be utilized for but a short period

forehand, in any given case. whether
your daughter will or will not marry
and have the opportunities and the re-
sponsibilities of wife and mother, it
would seem to be necessary TO give all
girls preparation suitable for the mar
ried state. And since, whether she mar
ries or not, every girl should be pre-
pared TO meet the requirements Of
modern life in the way Of useful SER
vice, she must carry the additional
burden of preparation for some kind
of remunerative work. With the gi.l
who feels call" for special work the
problem usually settles itself. This
girl is likely TO neglect everything and
concentrate her efforts on preparation
for the one thing important to her. She
will throw herself into her work with
the singleneSs OF purpose that we
usually expect of a good worker. Later,
If chance and changing interests d.
rect her thoughts to the traditional
place" for women, her problem is an
individual one, and she will make her
preparations in the thorough and sys-
tematic manner that she previously
applied TO her vocational training. But
with the vast majority OF girls there
is no "eall," and there is the need to
look ahead and to prepare.
Every girl should, therefore, be
trained for some occupation worth en-
tering, and this with the standards not

home. 81 don't mind it a bit if can only
do it in my own way I'm an old-fashioned
housekeeper and I have no use for all this
modern nonsense about efficiency in house
work. My own way is good enough for me

So she proceeded to give her hostess an OBJ

benefit of class in household efficiency, it was
so perfect an example of the way things ought
not to be done.
Talking all the time she gathered up hand
full Of plates and silver from the table and car
ried them to the kitchen. The sink was full OF
cooking dishes which had been put to soak, so
she dumped the others on the kitchen table, re-
trieved a cloth from the drawer-for she did
not approve of dish mop-and turned on the
hot water faucet.
Plate by plate and fork by fork she washed
the dishes under the running faucet, piling them
haphazard on an already crowded drain-board,
wiped them and placed them in selected spots
on the kitchen table, which she did not trouble

room for another assorted handful, this time
including some glasses, and disposed OF them
in the same way.

After an hour and quarter the dishes used
by four people at simple threecourse dinner
were disposed of to the last saucepan which
was swabbed out under the faucet and set
the stove to dry. Then the old-fashioned
housekeeper sat down and enlarged on the de-
STABILITY Of doing things without any fuss.

Some genius may one day invent dish

an ordinary household as much as the sewing
machine has simplihed the work Of the home

For hotels, restaurants and institutions the
big dish-washing machine is really efficient.
But for the average housekeeper it is simply an
expensive device that is more trouble than it
is worth.
The table has to be cleared, the food put
away properly on dishes kept for the purpose,
the soiled dishes removed to the kitchen,
scraped, stacked washed, dried and put away

Peach andPear Preserves
The Secret of Successful Canning Is
Heat, Cleanliness and Speed.

whether preserved, spiced, picked or branded.
Many housckeepers regard putting up fruit as
hard task, with uncertain results; but when
gas stove is used, the objection to the heat IS re
moved, and if the following directions care
fully followed there need be possible fear Of
fixture 1t must always be remembered that the
great secret Of preserving fruit indefinitely is to
have the jars and tops thoroughly sterilized and
heated when the fruit is put in; to fill them with
boiling syrup until they overflow, and after
running a silver knife around inside the jars to
release any air bubbles, TO quickly adjust the
ubbers and the hot covers, sealing them air

Both peaches and pears should be dropped into
cold water as soon as they peeled, so that
they will not become discolored. Fifteen TO
twenty minutes should be allowed for cooking
pears in the syrup; ten to fifteen minutes for
peaches and FIVE minutes for plums and cages

that the fruit is not overlooked; for if this is
the case when put in the jars the weight Of the

Branded PEACHES ARE DELICIOUS.
Brandy peaches are easily prepared by using the
heavy fruit syrup already mentioned and adding

fruit whole with the pits in and stick into each
peach five or six whole cloves. Prepare the syrup
by boiling together three pnts of cold water, one
pint of the best cider vinegar and one quart of

Brother Saves Brother in Battle.

The following instance of courage on the Western front is told by writer in the December issue of the Woman's Home Companion. "I know of two brothers" she says. "who fought side by side, ard when one of them who had risked his life to save one of our 75's fell badly wounded, the other threw himself out of the trench, without even thinking of the terrible danger that threatened him on every side gathered up his brother under a hail of bullets, making himself target for the enemy's fire, and carried him on a stretcher. He was wounded in the eye by bit of shell and covered with blood; but still he slipped off his over coat in the rain of the northern night to cover the shivering body of his younger brother"

In Defense of the Burlesque Dancer.
 In the December American Maga- zine Walter Prichard Eaton tells of girl vaudevillian who defends the pro- fession of the burlesque dancer as fol- lows:
 "If most of the world danced instead of watching dancers, dancing would be normal, wouldn't it? Normal things are for normal people. Somebody's got to be abnormal to keep life inter esting. l guess if I like to dance, to appear in public, to be part of all that life behind the scenes-which is a pleasant change from Southmead, I assure you'll don't see why you should worry about me. It isn't like you to preach a normal, conventional life to somebody who can find more satisfaction and self-development in another sort"

 It was established for historic req sons and celebrates the victories of | the Maccabees over the Syrians An tiochus, King of Syria, in the second century before the Common Era as- | pired to dominate the countries of the East. He pursued the policy of sup pressing all national distinctions and | of foisting upon his subjects, in the l various countries which had come un- | der his control, the religion and cvl- | lization of Syria. This, though Greek in origin, was debased in spirit and practice. The Jews, proud of thelr traditions and devoted to their pleteS and moralities, resented the intrusion and the violence of the Syrian con querors, who were respecters neither of the conscience nor of the lives ol the Jews. Under the leadership oi Judas Maccabeus, they made goou they made good their loyalty to tnelr faith and homes and met the SyrlanS on the battlefield.
