SOLUTION TO CLEAN SILVER
Method by Which the Priced Table
Utensils Will Take on a Polish
Without Injury.

Every housekeeper takes pride in
keeping her silver bright and shining,
whether her choicest collection be
great grandmother's treasured tea.
spoons or the latest achievement Of
the jewelers. art.
But whether her silver is of this
year or of century ago, the sulphur
in eggs, rubber, natural gas, water,
white tissue paper, and in the white
cloth, so often used in making silver
cases, will turn the best polish she
can put on it to a yellowish brown.
To clean by rubbing with whiting
or any of the silver polishes is long
and laborious process, and one which
must be repeated frequently; but an
easier method, which does not injure
the silver, may be employed.
Dissolve one teaspoonful Of com.
mon salt and one teaspoonful of soda
in one quart of water, and place in
"a galvanized pan. Silver placed in this
solution takes on a polish without
rubbing. To get results it is neces-
!sary to keep the inside of the pan
thoroughly clean.
By placing in the solution a small
piece of zinc or the lid of a Mason
jcr the use or the sa3vaniscd pan be-
comes unnecessary and any kind OF a
pan may be used.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL
important Point in Housekeeping
Which the Mother Will Do Well
to Remember.

One of the most important points in
housekeeping is planning the dietary
to meet the needs of all members of
the family. This means that the main
part of the meal is made suitable for
all and to this is added the foods es-
tecially needed by each individual, the
simple light dishes for little children
and the energy-producing foods for
outdoor workers. The choice of these
is always q matter Of individual judg.
ment and observation based upon an
understanding of the general prin
ciples of we'll balanced diet.
One thing, though, should always be
kept in mind; that where the main
dish Of the meal or the dessert intend
ed for adults is too heavy for childish
digestion, some equivalent dish equal
ly attractive to the children should be
provided. 1t may not be wise to let
the children share the pie or rich pud-
ding provided for adults, but when the
more elaborate dish appears upon the
table, rather special pains should be
taken to provide dainty and tempt
ing dessert for the children. The GUS
tard or rice pudding or fruit daintily
served costs very little trouble and
brings a lot Of happiness to the chill.
dren who would otherwise feel only it
was hard thing to be little boy or
girl when grownups eat just what they
please.

Not long after this parish house

Conn, and when the authorities came
TO buy the furnishings it occurred to
one who had seen some of Amy Fer
ris, work that she was just the person
whose advice they needed.
So Miss Ferris was sent for, and she
went to work to plan out a scheme.
AS usual, she drew up a very specific
statement of what she purposed doing
before she started in her work. There
wasn't a detail in the whole plan that

never thought of having missionary

such a comfortable-looking place. But
why not?' Miss Ferris asked, and she
had her way. Another thing that sur.
prised some of the good parishioners
about the new parish house was the
basement, where the men of the church
had their meetings. This was actually
called a rathskeller and Miss Ferris
had furnished it in modern Viennese
style for all the world like one of the
Austrian cafes she had seen. why
not?" said Miss Ferris again when the
people looked surprised. 1T is a good
honest style of decoration. Men like
it and men are to use the ROOM" And
so the plan went through.
Since that time Miss Ferris has be-
come a leading interior decorator, with
a suite of six rooms, including shop
where she has on sale all manner of
furniture and lamps, draperies and
other wares used in interior decor
ating. She decorates not only parish
houses, but churches, office buildings,
club rooms, stores, town houses, and
country cottages and villas. One OF
her most recent achievements was in
decorating the home for the women
workers Of the New York city mis-
sion.

When Miss Ferris had made her tour
of England she went to Vienna, Where
that art of interior decorating has re-
ceiyed more attention of late years
than it has in England. And here
again she succeeded by the same sim
pie method in gaining an entree TO
the best furnished houses of that cap
ital. With this inspiration and eXpe'
rience she came back to America
ready to take up her profession of in
terror decorator.
Took Up New Work.
Miss Ferris is a graduate of Smith
college, and when she was graduated
she entered St. Luke's hospital in New
York to become trained nurse. When
after a few months work she faced
the realization that she was not fitted
to stand the strain and fatigues of this
calling, her first feeling was one OF
keen disappointment Many young
women would have given up the hope
of making a career for themselves az
ter this setback, but not so Miss Fer
ris. She went to work deliberately to
discover another profession. She had
always been fond of art and decora-
ton. In her work in the hospital
wards the things that struck her most
and palled upon her were the bare
ness and necessary austerity of the
surroundings. Her eyes longed for
beauty, for color, harmony in shape
and tone. She thought first of taking
up portraiture, but, realizing that she
was not skillful enough with the brush
for this, she decided to be an interior
decorator. So scarcely had she
abandoned the nurses uniform before

she had enrolled as student in one
of the large schools of applied art in
New York-not many blocks away
from the hospital where her first am
bition had spent its brief life.
Started on Borrowed Money.
It was after she had finished a
short course in the art school that she
Went to Europe. On her return she
went to work in the shop of an interior
decorator, where she remained three
weeks. At the end of that time she
decided to start in by herself.
Her friends tried to discourage her.
1t was perfectly impossible, they told
her, for an interior decorator to start
in alone in New York without all kinds
of capital and all kinds of backing.
She would have to furnish her Office,
to buy equipment-stationery, sewing
machines and all the other parapherna-
liza of her trade. But Miss Ferris was
confident of her own ability and her
own Judgment. She borrowed five
hundred dollars, took tiny Office in a
tirst-class office building in the New
York shopping center and waited to
make good. In the meantime she told
everyone she knew about her plans,
and kept up with the alumnae activi-
ties of her alma mater.
One of the first orders that came to
her was to decorate the home of Miss
Woolley. the president of Mount Hol-
yoke college. Not long afterward the
Collegiate Equal Suffrage league
opened little shop in the shopping
center of New York and Miss Ferris,
who is an enthusiastic suffragist her
self, offered to decorate the place free
provided the suffrage league would
consult her on all decorating schemes.
The league had taken hopeless little

With one single exception she re-
ceived enthusiastic letters in reply,
bidding her come and inspect the
houses to her hearts desire. The
young American girl started out at
once alone and unintroduced to see the
dukes and earls and lords of England.
In many cases these important peo-
pie received her as a guest and en-.
tertained her cordially. In other cases
they instructed their servants-butlers
and housekeepers-to receive her and
give her carte blanche to their houses.

The butler withdrew and the young
American girl found herself sitting

there hung a priceless Raphael, near

earl's ancestors, and there a Lawrence.

tapestries also hanging on the wall,
