HOUSEWIVES DAILY

AUTUMN RESOLUTIONS.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Most New Years resolutions are taken
about three months too late. Much more
appropriate would they be and probably
much more likely to be kept had they
been taken at the opening Of the autumn
winter season. when the cool weather,
with its hosts of new responsibilities. new
cares and new duties. was at hand. BY
New Years day it seems too late for
most housewives to change their routine
or their habits. The winter seems on the
wane and no one Is 50 very much inter-
csted in starting out in new paths when
the old paths have done for the major
part of. the cool season.
So here's wishing the housewife
merry autumn and may she make and
keep a splendid set Of autumn resolu-
uons!
Here are a few.
Resolved, that the days grow colder
and even when they are very cold, I will
air my house daily, so that the air we
breathe may be as nearly as possible as
fresh as it is in summer. To do this !
will devote ten minutes every morning
to the task of opening all the windows in
the living quarters Of the house. pulling
lack the curtains and letting the fresh
air rush through the rooms. This is best
accomplished sometime in the late MORN
ing when the air is warmer outside and
when those indoors are actively at work.
For the rest l resolved always to keep
as many windows open as the weather
permits.
Resolved, That / will so arrange my
morning schedule that there need be no
rushing to business or running of to
school l will insist on having breakfast
at least three-quarters OF an hour before
any one needs to leave the house for
business or school.
Resolved, l will never unless for rea-
sons of weather. or illness, remain in
doors all day. I will spend at least a
half an hour every day walking or other
wise in outdoor exercise.
Resolved. ] will bravely eliminate from
my home all furniture and decorations
that do not serve to purpose of utility
or beauty-both II possible l will give

not keep good time and that does not add
to the beauty of the llving-room. I will

couch cushions and draperies that do not
possess the redeeming feature OF beauty.
Resolved, To make a good. practical
working schedule for the housework and
stick to 1t as faithfully as possible.
Resolved, To make out a budget of
household and personal expenses and by
stickins to it faithfully eliminate the hob
goblin of worry that haunts so many
housewives and mothers of families.
Resolved, To take an interest in my
work--if this begins to lag, to revive 1t
by reading and studying questions of
household management as they have
been worked out by authorities on these
subjects.
Resolved. To have some real interest
outside the household, in the form OF a
club or a charitable association or a
pleasure society-a sewing bee, or a dane
ing class or a bridge club

The other evening the guests of the
Algonquin Hotel were aroused by a
burglar alarm, and for a moment PAN

and in the rooms on the south side of

her not to cry out, l tiptoed into the
dark living room and listened again.
Just as I was about to turn back, l
saw the figure of a man silhouetteC

would have fired, but l did not dare cry

presence of mind to spring to the electric

There was a brief struggle. but l was

The manager OF the hotel and the
guests entered the living-room. looked out

scuffe and a noisy disturbance in the

his face became united and fell to the
floor, revealing that inimitable grin OF
Douglas Fairbanks!

from the departing Douglas Fairbanks,
whose laugh echoed all the way down
the halls to his own apartment.
Mrs. Fairbanks. who appreciates her
husbands sense of humor, told me the
other day OF time when Douglas Fair

As Mrs. Cat finished powdering Puss

what the three little kittens were doing
They had just finished eating their pie
As she had been intently listening to Puss
Juniors recital as to how he had acquired
his boots, she had not heard her three
Inan kittens remark:

That we have sOilsd our mittens.'
Mrs. Cat on seeing what had hap

"sOiled your mittens, you naughty Kittens
Then they began to sigh,

We will, Mother" said the three

Il can't imagine why you kept them

I'VE were so hungry We didn't have

black kitten.

ia leave them on" cried the tabby
kitten
Il didn't think about anything"
sobbed the little gray kitten. Il just
looked at the pie. and then I forgot
I had on mittens."
Mrs Cat stood with her front paws
On her hips, looking from one little
Kitten to another.

They were so excited over finding

said Mrs. Cat with a laugh. "or they
