ness. Many housewife who is the
soul of industry, does not exercise
her brains in planning for her table.
A notebook and pencil used with
thought once week will plan the
meals for the family in a half hour.
If one Is too busy, or too tired to add
variety to the table of what advantage
is it to think of what might be? The
man of the house loses all interest in
food, the children lose their appetitGs
in the household where the rut travel
ed is growing deeper and deeper. Don't
bore the family or members of the
family with questions as to what they
would like, for the thinking housewife
will find out without seeming to in
quire. To many it spoils a meal to
know beforehand what they are go
ing to have. Never, as you value your
reputation as an intelligent housekeep.
er, never let your family say ''this il
rlce-pudding day, or Goldfish gravy day
at our house." To be successful the
cook must keep her troubles to her
self, as perplexities in the home are
best not shared.
Variety in our diet is as important
as it is in other things, and the dish
that comes as surprise is always
more enjoyed.

nous reply to man who inquired
how he mixed his colors: with
brains, sir" and nowhere can brains
be put to so good q use as in the prepa-
ration Of food for the family.
