~ UT what shall I do with them. USG now I've got them?" l heard
 a woman laughingly remark
 at a hairdresser's recently, where she had just had bunch of the prettiest little curls made from her own combings.
 You'll find plenty of use for them" the hairdresser assured her. And when I began to think about it and remembered some of the new hair dressings which fashion is sanction ing, I agreed with the woman who sold the curls.
 Yes, you will need curls for many of the new cultures. If you are one of the lucky ones the ends of whose hair can be brushed over the finger into charming ringlets, you won't worry; those curls will probably just arrange themselves. But if you have to put your hair up in papers, or use the artificial curl of combings, you will have to study the position of the curls very carefully to get away from that stiff look, which curls not real often give.
 A high arrangement of curls and puffs is becoming for old and young alike. The coiffure pictured is more for the older woman, who makes soft nest of puffs and sticks curl or two among them to break the stiff ness. The young girl should either curl the ends of her hair for three or

 taught to be kind to animals, - yet often we see women who
 look on indifferently as their young children mistreat a helpless kitten or puppy. The driver of dray horse who is discovered abusing the animal is promptly taken into cus- tody and punished. but there is no law which punishes children for be- ing cruel to animals. The mother who looks on indifferently as her young child maltreats a defenceless little animal-an abuse she considers "cute"-is not only laying the foun- dation of many years of bitterness for herself iat her child's hands, but is by her indifference, developing traits of cruelty in the irresponsible child.
 "I shouldn't want to be kitten in this house." mother remarked to a friend who was calling on her one day. Then she carelessly turned the conversation. Her three-year-old son in the meantime was maulinG kit ten, more dead than alive, yet she made no effort to free the helpless little creature or correct the child. This mother was an educated woman. She had been school teacher before her marriage, and had dealt with many tunas of ,childran-

Creamed Celery.

Cut four stalks of celery into small dice, cover with water and let slowly simmer until very tender and per- fectly clear. Then drain off the wa ter (which has been slightly salted), put one cup of cream or rich milk into saucepan with one tablespoon of butter, and when hot add the celery. Season delicately with salt and pep per and simmer five minutes. then add one small teaspoon of cornstarch mixed smooth with little cold milk. Stir in thoroughly and serve hot.
 Leftover Soup.
 Put all the remains. bones and trimmin gs-there ought to be four quarts-into four quarts of cold wa ter. Chop two onions, one turnip, two carrots fine and add any gravy left-overs. If there isn't any gravy add one teaspoon beef extract in Q little hot water. Set the kettle on a very slow fire and allow the soup to come to boil. Let it simmer for six hours, removing all the scum that rises. Strain 1t through line sieve and add salt and pepper to taste. Let it stand over night before using.

 Mash four bananas to a pulp, add two eggs well beaten. two cups sifted bread four, two teaspoons yeast powder, teaspoon salt, about two cups sweet milk or enough to make drop batter. Beat until we'll mixed. Have the fat heated as for doughnuts. SO

batter will rise to top at once. Dip a clean spoon in fat and use it to shape the fritters. Do not make too large. Fry until well Drowned. Drain on brown paper. To be eaten while warm. Serve with maple syrup.
 Directions for Coloring Soups.
 A fine amber colot is obtained by adding finely grated carrots to the clear stock when 1t is free from scum. Red is obtained by adding red skinned tomatoes from which the skin and seeds have been strained.
 Only white vegetables should be used in white soup. such as chicken soup.
 Spinach leaves pounded and Juice extracted and added to the soup will give 8 good green color.
 An excellent brown soup can be made by adding burnt sugar or Drowned -four to the stock.
 Tomato and Pineapple Salad.
 Removes skins from good-sixed tomatoes, cut oil top and scoop out and then i'll with diced pineapple and put on top spoon of mayonnaise dressing. Pineapple should be ripe and sweet. This really makes a deli- cious salad and is somewhat differ ent to salads. The tomato and pine apple blend very nicely, although one would not think 50 without trying it.
 Ragout of Vegetables.
 Parboll one carrot, one turnip. tyO potatoes. two ears of corn Cor use canned corn), one cup lima beans and the same of peas, one onion and with them one-quarter of pound of salt fat pork, drain off the water. and lay aside the pork, slice carrot, turnip and onion. Put in a saucepan with a cup of some good meat soup before it has been thickened. Season we'll, add the corn with the beans. peas and a sliced tomato as soon as the rest are hot. Stew all together half hour. Stir in a great lump of butter rolled in flour. Stew i've minutes and serve in a deep dish. and you have c dish de for . king

ESl HERE is only one method of
 procedure which leads to a S bank account. That is to get 4.-,,e. .s;the. saving habit.c 1t shpuld have been taught us in our youth, and if we were not fortunate enough to have acquired it, then a good deal of strength of character will have to be asserted to form the habit now.
 It is very simple. and because it is SO simple it is exceedingly difficult. All you have to do to get the saving habit is to go over your accounts, see what money you can spare and de- termine to put aside a certain sum each week toward your savings fund. Many will contend, in all probability. that they cannot spare single cent from their weekly or monthly salary. Every bit of it is eaten up by actual living expenses.
 In few cases is this literally true. There are not many of us who could not spare fifty cents or $1 a week from our salaries If we were forced to do SO.
 { Saving is not pleasant business. it means in many cases self-denial and the doing without of many pleas ures. But it is cnly at first that saw ing seems hard. After we have be- come used to going without certain little unnecessary things, we never miss them, and look back with cha grin upon the time when we spent money thoughtlessly for this and that.
 And for all this self-denial what do we receive in return? The satie- faction of a steadily growing bank account You can think without dread upon a possible period of sick ness, you can look misfortune, in the form of loss of position, in the face unafraid, for you know you have money in the bank with which to tide over, your diversity. A bank ac- count also adds to your independence
 Perhaps you think you can spare SO little from your present salary that it Is not worth putting away When you are earning more money, you say, you will begin to save Don't deceive yourself with any such promise. If you don't begin to save now you won't begin in the future Take small amount each week from your pay envelope and put it away in some savings bank. When you earn more you can increase the weekly amount. But begin now-today- without a moments delay.
 Get the saving habit. It will be ot valna to you all your Hfa-

When the chintz is hung up to dry care should be taken that it is not put upsin the direct sunshine, but is hung in the shade. When not quite dry it should be taken down and ironed from the wrong side. The great thing in preserving the colors of chintz is not to let heat come in contact with the right side of the goods. Of course. the irons will have to be fairly hot in order, that the ch1ntz may look fresh and without wrinkles. but this heat should be ap- piled to the wrong side of the goods. Kz9l EMBROIDERED panels, both
 Oriental ones and those A which women can themselves
 make. are much used for the decoration of lamp shades. The fa- vorite foundation for these is a wire frame in Empire shape, circular and almost straight up and down. These may be covered with very. thin white or flash, colored silk first or the outer cover may be put directly on after the top part of the frame has been wound with a thin strip of silk. The outer covering is made ot plain silk taffeta, pongee or some similar silk, and the panels of em- broidery are set on at intervals and framed in gold galloon or fancy silk braid. There is no rule to be fol- lowed in the matter of the number or shapes of these panels. If they are not long enough to extend the full depth of the lamp shade, two strips of gold braid are used at the top and bottom, and between the rows of braid the plain silk Is fulled on. Gold embroidered ribbons are also good for panels,
