Today's Household Affairs
Make Grocers Clean Up.
BY MARY LEE.

TT is a funny thing about this old
human nature of ours" Mrs. Happy
~Homemaker picked up her work with
q little sigh. Every one of US thinks
the other fellows job is 50 much easier
than our own. The women in the city
think it is the simplest thing In the
world to persuade the shopkeepers in:
a suburban or country community to
clean up because there are compare
lively few of them, and they may be
: individually approached and controlled.
Women who live in smaller centers
feel thai It would be an easy PROPOSE
tion if the dealers were rendered lit
tie less Independent by the fear of COM
petition and the loss of customers. But
j must say that on the whole the men
are reasonable and willing to receive
suggestions.
You see. we may keep our own kitch-
. ems, cupboards, pantries, closets and
fceboxes as clean as laboratories, and
yet our care goes for almost nothing
If the stores where we buy our food
and the men who serve us fail to OBJ
serve even the most fundamental rules
of cleanliness. That is what we tell our
dealers, and in most instances they
should be done. We had not thought
OF it in that light before.
For example. no one likes to think of
sugar being taken out of the barrel by
CRIME: but this is done, / have seen it.
and sugar is generally used without
being cooked
NO one likes to think of fruits and
vegetables and often staples like -four
and cereals. being kept in a dark Gel
lar stockroom, infested with mice and
bugs, whose wooden floor is reeking
with dampness, but this Is done too.
and in some of our best regulated
grocery stores. OF course, it is not
pleasant TO think of these things. much
less TO undertake to remedy them. but
we women who have elected homemak-
fng a profession are beginning to
edevelop a social conscience.
We are beginning to realize that in
this larger housekeeping we are under
taking, each woman must feel her re-
sponsibility and constitute herself a
Sort of inspector.
y we know that by insisting upon
sanitary shops and clean people TO
serve in them, we are not only protect
ing our own homes, but all homes, and
rousing an interest which will in time
be active for the preservation of the
public health"

New Things.

The latest veil is a square affair OF
himy mesh to throw over the whole hat.
Or you may have it with circular open
Ing to slip over the crown. This enables
the points to fall in graceful fashion
and the whole effect is quite smart And
the wells are not too expensive for the
woman of moderate income.
Plaid stockings, silk, of course. and In
gay but very pretty Scotch plaids-that
is the very newest hosiery wrinkle. You
may choose greenland blue e-and-red or
green-white-a -and-tan. or blue-and-g green
and-white. OF course. you'll not want a
dozen pairs-but the girl who goes in for
novelties will want at least one!

fulness. This pattern Is eminently
simple and becoming to a small boy
and very little girls are now often
dressed in the same bloomer costumes
for play. The pattern also includes
straight trousers for boys between the
ages of two, four and six years.
Very little material is required, only
two and a quarter yards of thirty-six-
inch goods. with half yard of con-
trasting material.
Don't you think that your blue-eyed
boy would look pretty in a blue cot

blue collar. belt and cuffs? And how

would look in a serviceable khaki suit

very little tots, both boys and girls,

While on the subject of clothing for
small boys, do you know that the
quaint and sensible oldfashioned gar
ments of the early sixties are now in
vogue? There are the same little
round jackets and collars. and the same
long trousers that kept the legs of
children warm a generation ago. There
