young girls curls. That was all there
was about it, She was very young and
pretty. He thought of nothing beyond
that. Ten to one the girl had never
cooked meal in her whole life. Many
a mother has such Il way of keeping
her daughters white hands from Ia
bOriouS work. Notwithstanding that,
the girl plungcs into housekeeping as
though il were the greatest fun, in
stead of the SulCmnCSt, hardest Of du-
ties.
The person who wrote the article on :
housekeeping Made Easy" has lot
to answer for in giving doubtful adj
vice to Inexperienced young hOusekccp-
CrS. She says: "A dinner can be got
up in twenty minutes. Warm over Il
can OF corn, which is three-fOurthS
cooked. \ tive-cent carton Of Sara
toga Clipped potatoes, needs but few
minutes warming over in the oven.
DelicateSSen sliced tongue needs no
preparation. A pan of pork and beans
from the same store can be served cold
or heated. A coffee pellet can be
dropped into hot water. LO, you have
bubbling hot coffee fit for u king. a
little luke-warm water. mixed with
-four, and 10, you have delicious bis
cults"
Why, wouldn't q bride consider that
she is getting out of the tolls of house
keeping mighty easily! Blithely she
tries her hand in this sort of cooking
But the frOwn on young hubby's face
tells her more plainly thun words that
there's Il mistake somewhere. 1t doesn't
take long to have the new hubby sick
on her hands. He will have TO go back
to mother. or she will have to learn To
cook good substantial meals In the old,
fashioned way, to keep Il man fit for
work.
The first slap hubby gets at mother
in-iaw is: why the Sam Hill didn't
she teach her girl to cOOk?" OF course
she learns in time, but II takes time
vexations, burned hands and aprons
and tears. The housekeeping Made
Easy" article did not mention that
there were dishes TO wash and pots
and pans to scOur. Every girl should
take course in housekeeping before
tripping gayly to the altar.

Practical Muffs Have Pockets,

Surely women cannot complain now
adays of pOcketlesS gowns or suits.
AS a matter of fact, pockets are in
cluded not only in regulation gar
ments, but are to be found unexpect-
eddy in muffs, pOcketbOOks and other
unusual places.
This is proved in muff Of fur lined
with brocaded satin and having on one
side q pOuChed-shaped attachment of
the satin bordered with fur at the top
and having material drawn in at the
bottom and finished with Il handsome
taSSel.
The pocket is larCo enough to take
care of all the essential trifleS which a
woman carries about with her, wheth-
er shopping, visiting, attending the
matinee or afternoon tea,
Paris has recently introduced a muff
Of suede which is dyed to match the
color Of the costume. The leather
muiT may be embroidered with beads
or otherwise decorated. and usually it
is suspended from the neck by means
of n novelty chain or by knOtted
strings of the suede itself.

Paradox in IraVeIind Men.

Why jolly-natured drummer"
should always be selected To push
funeral line Of merchandise and the
somber-natured individuals the Joy
lines" is one of the mysteries of the
trade.
The iOl!iest-natured men of the road
who come to the travelling mems ho-
tells are those engaged in selling
funeral drapery and burial vaults. On
the other hand, the most funereal look
ing men are those engaged in pushing
diamonds. French wines and Holsters.
The conventional idea of q diamond
drummer or q wine merchant is a gay
spark in plaid clothes. At least that's
the way they're always represented in
musical comedy. On the stage the dia-
mOnd merchant is always seen wearing
'em wherever he can find u vacant place
on his attire. In real life the aim of
the true diamond merchant is to look
as little like diamonds and as much
like an animated funeral as possible

GIRLS AS WAlL-FLOWERS.

Last night. when someone spoke that
name,
From my swift blood that went and came
A thousand burning shafts OF flame
Went quivering through my trembling
frame;
My whole soul waited silently.
What's the use Of n girl longing 10
go to dances If young men pass her by
and persistently ask other girls to trip
the light fantastic toe? There's moth
ing more embarrassing than TO be al
ways known as one of the wall-howers.
II is the same way with skating or be-
Ing invited out for a walk. A girls
beauty does not seem to count. Pretty
girls wonder why they are passed by
for girls of fewer attractions. The
secret of the whole business lies in n
nutshell. Girls who are passed by are
known to be poor dancers. When
skating they give up trying TO keep
their feet on the ice. As for stroll,
they are quickly tagged out. Their
high-heeled shoes are more to them
than the pleasure and exercise would
be.
She who intends going to dances
should as soon as possible try to be-
come the best dancer In her set. Then
she would not become a wall-flOwe-.
she may be sure. There would be a

irritated by young wOman's mincinc
steps, or notes that she is limping
along, his pleasure is spoiled. He
knows she is not enjoying it, He either
halls passing trolley, or calls a cab
rather than to prolong the agony. He
doesn't ask that girl on an outing

sport, she should be one. The girl who
boasts that she thinks nothing of q
five-mile tramp around a golf course
should be able to make good. Sh,
