Women many times have been class
ed as the more extravaganza, but the
women right now in war times are
proving to be the more economical and
the more thrifty. In the campaign to
push the sales of thrift stamps, the
women of the country in many cases
have not only done their own bit, but
also occupied a great deal of their
time inducing and convincing others
of the necessity of buying the Thrift
stamps with all their spare money.
This daring member of the emergency
drivers of Chicago has climbed far
out on the ledge of this building TO
nail this poster in a prominent place
calling upon other women to join and
place their cars at the disposal of the
organization to push the Thrift stamp
campaign. These women are covering
the city thoroughly and every passer-
by is made familiar with the impor-
lance of the buying of the stamps, and
they usually are convinced, for the
women are determined takers, and
besides they are boosting a sale that
should need no boosting.

home cateress have the same methods
of coaxing an often jaded appetite.
This does not mean that great expense
is necessary, for the simplest, least ex-
pensive arrangement may be beautiful.
A very pretty centerpiece was used
the other day, which almost anyone
could repeat with small cost. An OBJ
long wicker tray with a pretty feathery
fern in a pot dressed with green paper
vas placed in the center of the tray,
around it were arranged punches of
grapes, a few red apples and an
orange or two for color.
Fresh fruit, without which breakfast
is an incomplete meal, is nine times out
of ten served in the same manner day
after day.
If bananas are to be served for the
meal, buy them attached TO the original
stem, then arrange a background Of
green, either of fern or a few leaves or
even crumpled green paper and the
transformation will surprise and de-
light the eye, making a tame banana
seem something out of the ordinary.
The old-fashioned epergne is a treas
ure any woman would covet, for 1t
lends itself to so many attractive ar
engagements of fruit, leaves or flowers.
The old-fashioned standard silver cake
basket is another artistic treasure. A
birchbark boat, or hollow log (Which
may be bought at a fiorist's) filled with
golden oranges, with the duller tone of,
a few bananas and a bit of green for
the color setting is a most charming
centerpiece. The fruit itself served in
this unusual way takes on anew flavor.
There is such a wilderness of bas-
kets to choose from for table baskets
that almost any color or design may be
found. A heap of white grapes sur
rounded with bright red polished ap-
pies, a most commonplace dish of fruit,
Is changed by its treatment into q
study in colors.
