SOME HINTS FOR THE THRIFTY
HOUSEWIFE,

To accumulate lot of old rubbish,
letting it lie undisturbed and lumber
up the cupboards, is thing no good
housewife will approve. But the war
has made us all more thrifty and
taught us to make instant use of
things we used to throw away-not TO
| hoard them, but to turn them to &C
count as soon as possible.
Old lace curtains, too ragged to use,
make first-rate window polishers Cut
them into squares and tack the edges
round to prevent fraying.
Small scraps of soap should never
be thrown away. Collect them in
jar, add water and stand jar in oven
until soap is melted On washing day
that jar is a welcome friend Soap
suds are good fertilizer for cab
bages and other vegetables.
Nutshells, dried orange peel and
burnt match ends are useful. mixed
with small coal, for fires. Capital fire
lighters can be made from two thin
sticks bound together in the center
crosswise, with cork fixed on the top
of each stick
Corks also polish knives splendidly
Put the knife polish in a saucer
dampen it and dip in the cork, using
IT as rubber. This method never
scratches the knives and soon bright
ems them.
Tablecloths cut down into small
traycloths, sheets can become dust
sheets and shabby towels make good
dishcloths and household cloths gen
orally. Old stockings and vests make
good metal polishers. They can also
be cut up to line homemade quilts
Old newspapers (rolled up tightly for
| flrewood, capital pad for stair car
! pets, and are of manifold uses in the
! kitchen.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: % One night
another girl and went walking with
two boys. We took long walk and
| said something to him, very rea-
sonabe question, and he did not hear
me or pretended he did not. It was
the first time | ever met him and he
looked like a sensible boy. He only
spoke about seven words the whole
evening. | asked him several Ques-
tons and he would not answer them,
When he left he just said goodnight.
Do you think he owes me an apology?
CO The other boy kept the other
girls ring and when she asked him
for it he refused to give it to her. And
so she got angry at him and has not
spoken to him since. Please tell me
a way that she can get it.
90 If another boy wants to take
you for boat ride where your whole
family is present, would it be all right
if you brought him with the family or
stayed by yourselves while on the
trip? PEGGY ROSE.
% Perhaps he is really deaf. l
wouldn't expect an apology if / were
you. He probably acted natural and
does not feel he owes an apology.
(2) The girl could sue him for the
ring, but if it is not valuable it would
not be worth while.

lunch with them, but feel free to leave
them when you have something you
want to do.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am "A years
old and have been going with a gen.
tlIman for four years. He is IS. He
has never asked me to set the date of
our marriage, but often talks of our
| future married life. If he wishes to
go out with friends he does so wheth-
er | like it or not. He has done many
small things like this. We have had
many arguments and now | have had
enough of it. l treat him nicely, but
l want to drop him entirely. Will
you suggest some lady-like and polite
way of doing it? l want to leave him
with a good impression Of me. I do
not think l will ever forget him, and
will always love him, for I have
given myself trials. Could you sug-

thoughtful of me? A WOMAN,
Tell the man that his thoughtless-
ness and disregard of your wishes
have made you decide to break your
engagement Your decision is wise,
because if he makes you unhappy now,
he would do so to far greater extent
after marriage | believe that after
you and he have separated you will be
happier and thankful that you decided
not to marry him. In time you will
cease to love him. The best way to
make him more thoughtful of you will
be to show him he can't have you.
Dear Mrs Thompson: | am boy

lived in this town very long and | do
not know many people. There was
one girl there that l liked better than
any other I spent most of my time
with her and asked to take her home.
She said she had made other arrange
ments and then l saw her and an
other girl going home together, Be
fore the picnic broke up | asked, her
to play tennis with me and she said
she hated tennis, Then l asked if
could take her to the picture theatre
some evening, and she said moving
pictures hurt her eyes. Where do you
think she would like to go? l like
her SO much that l would like to know
her better. SAM.
Probably you appeared too inter
ested in the girl and she did not like
it. Get acquainted with other girls
in the church and don't ask her to do
anything for a while. Perhaps then
her eyes will be stronger and she
won't mind moving pictures.
In reply to D, C. c.: l haven't the
remotest idea what the widows ad
