FOR THE DISCOURAGED GIRL

fectly natural that the girl who works for a living should suffer from the mental ills that seem to be waiting for all of Us if we allow ourselves to be afflicted.
 One of the best remedies for the work weary girls is to look around and take an inventory of all the good she enjoys. Look around you and it will not be so hard to find some one who is worse off than yourself.
 Cultivate spirit of gratefulness for all that you enjoy and season your life with new hope
 Although the day is cloudy, the sun is shining behind the clouds. The truth seldom enters the thought of a girl who frets and fumes be cause the clouds have burst. She does not realize that the flowers, trees and crops are receiving new life from the rain that inconveni- ences her.
 Make up your mind to be satis- fled and do your work the best you can. No matter how great your trials you can meet them if you firmly resolve to do so.
 Just know that your mental con dition cannot always be remedied through new environment. Unless you take yourself in hand and change your mental attitude neither leisure nor work will give you per feet satisfaction.
 Take the reins in your own hands and control your own thoughts in knowing that even though the sun is not shining there is brightness in the sunshine of hope beyond the clouds.

Are you weary of work?
 When you think of the days of early rising, the mad dash to be on time, and the too numerous little trials and tribulations that are a part of the days routine, do you feel that working for a living is somewhat of a hardship?
 There are times in the life of every business woman when she looks upon her work with mental nausea that causes her to wonder how she will ever perform her du- ties for the day
 Ease and idleness are very allur- ing to the weary in mind and body.
 The average girl who wants to give up working does not always know what a life of ease would mean to her It has been said that idleness is at the root of all evil, and that Satan always finds some thing for idle hands to do. The girl who longs to be free from work imagines that she would be perfectly happy as woman of leisure. She does not know that society and all walks of life are filled with women who are passing through her moods of dissatisfaction and rebellion
 Striving to reach d higher goal which she imagines will bring her happiness, the society woman bat ties for supremacy, the wife at home looks upon her household cares with a tired, weary expression and shud- ders to think she may have to do the same things day after day as long as she lives.
 Dissatisfaction and weariness ex- ist in all walks of life, and it is per

CHOICE OF CURTAINS.

Quite half of the good appear ance of a house, both externally and internally, depends materially upon the way in which the windows are treated, and convention decrees that certain amount of uniformity should prevail, especially when the windows all face in one direction.
 It is never wise to stint oneself in expenditure when arranging for blinds and curtains; far better do without some piece of furniture, in order to have an extra dollar or two to spend on curtains, that the eff feet may be quite good.

Common sense methods have reached the realm of the nursery. Babies are no longer made uncom- torrablr in yardIons dresses FrilIs and furbrIows have ceased To be looked upon as the correct trim ming for their frocks. Garments for the layette are no longer count ed by the dozen. buJ the up-to-date baby has only enough 10 insure its comfort and daintinesS. one Of the things women have learned is that d babys clothing must be prepared from the health viewpoint.
 What baby should wear in the house are the flannel band, the dia- per. the flannel shirt the pinnine blanket, d slip and bootees These are immediate necessities, and should be supplied before baby's ar rival II is just as well To leave the other garments until later, for they will not be required until the baby is taken out.
 You should have at least four flannel bands Make these of fine flannel. Cut them seven inches wide and twenty inches long, and simply pink the edges. Very often the bands are simply torn, and the edges left unfinished hem or a ribbon binding would only make a ridge that would be uncomfortable for baby The band is wrapped around the baby's abdomen and sewed at one side in preference to being fastened with safety pins. You can get into the way of sewing them easily. and the pins might hurt the infant. When the flannel band k no longer needed, 1t gives place 10 d knit band with straps over the shoulders and with tabs at the lower edge to which the dia- per may be pinned
 Three pieces of diapering will be sufficient Linen diapering is the best to use There is also a cotton diapcring which may be used. Cut the diapers twice as long as the width of the material, and turn the cut edges into small hens
 Four shirts of fine flannel will be enough The edges may be turn ed under once and held with feath-

BULLETIN BOARD
 IN KITCHEN
IS HAN DY.

Has it ever occurred to you that a bulletin board would be of great help to you in your daily house work? Try putting one in your kitchen and you will be repaid a thousandfold for your effort, says the New York Press.
 Take board about the size of an ordinary bread board and securely nail a covering of felt to it It will look heater if you tack some pie ture molding all around the edges, thus making a frame for the felt. When you have the board all made put a screw eye in the lower right hand corner of it and to this fasten yard of string to which you have attached pencil.
 Now to post your bulletin. You will find it an advantage to write out your menus for each day and tack them to the board They to them readily, and by checking off each item as it is prepared you will find it well nigh impossible to forget anything.
 If you read a bit of poetry in your favorite magazine or paper which particularly appeals to you, tack it on your bulletin board in your kitchen where you can see it occasionally. It will make your hours brighter and happier.

HINTS TO AID THE
 GIRL WHO SQUiNTS

Screwing up the face in a grin or grimace causes deep wrinkles to come in the forehead and about the eyes and mouth. All these bad ia Cial habits degenerate into careless ness, and carelessness not only low CTS a woman in the estimation of others but has sad effect upon herself. She slouches, the corners of her mouth droop, and her eyes become shifty and no longer look straight into yours.
 Do you squint when you laugh? If you do, stop it today. Sit before your mirror and read humorous arti- cle- George Fitch's Vest Pocket Els says, for instance, and watch your smile
 Learn to control the muscles of your face. Smile naturally, without self consciousness. The squint smile can be corrected without adhesive plaster or massage It is matter of serenity and self control

TO PREVENT WOOLENS
 FROM SHRINKING

The careful housewife asks: How can I wash woolens without shrink ing them?"
 Her problem is not only to get the woOlens clean, but to keep the youngsters under garments to their original length, the blankets to their first generous proportions and all other woolens to the same size as when new.
 To prevent shrinking you first should know what causes it-what you should not do.
 First: Rubbing mats the woolen flores. That means shrinking. There fore you should not rub bar soap on any article made wholly or partial ly of wool, nor should you rub the article on the washboard.
 Second: Sudden changes of tenn perature draw the flores together. That means shrinking. Therefore, you should not use very hot or very cold water, either, for washing or rinsing; nor hang the articles out doors in very cold weather; nor let woolen dress goods dry before press ing.
 Third: Strong soaps and strong al kalies contract, stiffen and weaken the flores. That means shrinking. It means more It means their de struction. Use only pure soap, free from alkai.

CARE OF VELVET HATS.

Velvet that has been spotted with rain should not be brushed. Shake the velvet and leave it. The water will evaporate and show no mark unless the velvet was dusty before getting wet
 In that case wipe the velvet while still rain dampened with a clean damp cloth. This will remove the dust. Then shake well and leave to dry.

 If you wish flower cuttings to bloom while the plants are small, put them in small crooks. As soon as the crooks are filled with roots they begin blooming, especially ge- raniums.
 When blankets have become too thin for ordinary use, they can be pressed into further service in the following way: Put two or three to- gether and cover them with pretty sateen to make quilts. To keep them in proper shape they should be buttoned down here and there like mattresses. A frill of sateen makes a nice finish. Blankets, after being washed and thoroughly dried, should be well | beaten.

Timely Hints for the Housewife

Even the most enthusiastic home baker loses interest in the weekly or semi-weekIy baking while torrid weather prevails. but with the com ing of cool days one can very com fortably think of a little oven heat and delight in the sayory odors of the brown loaves of bread, cake, etc, cooling on the racks.
 No doubt many of The Citizen readers have most comprehensive number of recipes at hand, but of ten just the one you wanted to try some time. although carefully laid away. cannot be found So here are q number of easily followed rules and recipes for baking day As for instance, if you would like to bake some graham bread and coffee cake, the sponge for both can be set at the same time. and as neither require kneading, this would make an easy combination if you have little time to devote to the kitchen.
 Remember, all measurements are level; sift flour before measuring and use a graded halfpint cup.
