The HOUSEHOLD
Edited by Anne Rittenhouse
Renting Furnished.

A decade ago it would have been
hard to find a well established family
who were willing to rent their house
furnished during an absence even
when the rent coming from such
transaction would be extremely useful
to them. The idea of permitting any
one but themselves to use their furni
ture, to walk about in the rooms that
they had planned and thought out,
would be one too hard to bear. Nice
people didn't do it, and that is all
there was about it. But then in those
days nice people" didn't do lot of
things that they do in this TWEEN
tieth century. To be sure no one who
didn't have to think of economics
would proba bly, sublet a furnished
house or apartment. But the fact re-
mains that lots of people with city
apartments frequently do sublet them
when they go away for their summer
holidays and likewise many persons
with country places, cottages at the
seashore or an old homestead in a de-
sirable location that they do not choose
to occupy the year round take in desir-
able tenants for the period of their
own absence
In many sections of the country war
conditions have put stop to building
of private houses and this has in some
instances made a shortage of availab BILE
houses. Such is the case i'll many
manufacturing towns where ma nufac-
turing war industries are located
Hence it is not difficult to obtain ten
ants for our unoccupied houses.
The question always arises as to
what one is supposed to leave in the
apartment or house that is let fur
nished This is what is generally
done, according to a clever woman
who makes a speciality of renting fur
nished apartments, houses and coun-
try cottages. When renting on
short lease the owner usually gets
higher rate of rent. That Is when
renting for two or three months you
could get more than half as much as
you would when renting for four or six
months. And when renting on such a
short term you would usually be eX-
pected to leave silver and bed linen.
For instance, many persons who go to
New York or any of the other large
centers for a stay of a month or two
prefer to take well furnished apart
ment to staying at hotel. Needless
to say they are not going to cucumber
| themselves with silver and linen.
They are usually willing to pay little
more and have these things left in the
| apartments
When renting for long term it is
not usual to leave either linen or sill
YER However, when renting a summer
! cottage it is very nice to leave plated
silver as a matter of convenience.
Even when bed linen is not left it is
! sometimes customary to leave blankets
and other bed covers. This, however.
is always agreed between the tenant
and the owner.
Curtains are part of the furniture
: This question sometimes comes up,
: but obviously there is really no ques-
! ton involved. When curtains would
have to be made to fit windows natur-
ally the person who rents an apart
ment furnished will not go to the ex-
pense of having special curtains meas
ured and fitted.

TIRED OF RATIONS
Austrian WOrkmen Weary of
Potato and Fat Shortage.
Immediate and General Peace
Is All They Want.

Washington. March 30.-New proof
that the drive was forced by internal
economic and political pressure in the
central empires came today in a dis
patch to an embassy here saying:
Intervention had been attempted
on the part of the Social Democrat
deputies of Austria, who declared that
it was impossible for the workmen to
endure another diminution of the DO
tato and fat ration. They added that
no measure would be effective and
that the proletariat saw but the one
way of remedying things, in other
words, an immediate and general
peace.
The Proter Won Seidler could onIv
promise some vague and partial amel-
iorations and affirm that the Austro-
Hungarian government would make
every effort to drive at peace as
quickly as possible
Commenting on this information
the dispatch continues:
These facts throw curious light on
the internal situation of the, central
powers. They help explain why Ger
many, without regard for risks and
losses, wanted at all costs to reach a
decision. q
When the allies stop the offensive
as they VIII, the central empires who
nave Killed off hundreds of thousa nds
Oh men, VIII face accrued difficulties ;,

Has Taken Its Place as a Garment
of Importance to Combine With
Separate Skirt for Afternoon
New York.-There is no denying the
success of the separate skirt. The rea-
sons for its popularity are manifold.
1t allows one the pleasure of feeling
economical; it seems to be L protest
against extravaganza, and it permits
of variety of blouses in the good old
fashioned way when We were not so
skilled in costumery and so keen about
the entire outfit for the one occasion,
without substitutes or makeshifts.
In our attitude toward costumery we
have gone far from the days when
even smart women had two blouses
for one skirt to wear in the evening.
Even the brilliant and fashionable
Mrs. Moulton, who, as an untitled
American, was an intimate member of
the European circle that had the EN-
press Eugene as it's bright particular
star, had only two blouSes for one
skirt. She writes most enteftainingly
about her clothes, as you remember if
you read the book, and she tells of
taking two blouSeS to one skirt to
great house, as she was in doubt about
the extent of the decolletage which
would be required.
Back to Old Customs.
Those were the days when the whole
world did such a thing. The fashion
continued turnout several decades,
but money, achievements, extrava-
gance and what is known as the artis-
tic sense in dressing, put all of this
makeshift business. in the junk heap.
But we are taking things out of the
junk heap these days and looking
them over, polishing them up a bit,
and saying that they will do quite
well for this wartime epoch

Economy is no longer sneered at.
One must make the best of things and
not relapse into gloom, but try ingen
uity to it's fullest extent in appearing
smartly frocked without undue ex-
pense.
Therefore, the reason for the sepa-
rate skirt. 1t commands many blOuseS.
1t serves for the evening well as
the day 1t is no longer worn with
white shirtwaist tucked in at the belt,
for no fashion is so dead at present as
that one; but it serves for the blouse
which is worn on the outside. as
Chinaman wears his shirt.
If one owns let US say. white
serge skirt or one of crepe de chine or
pleated satin, there are outside hlouses
for it that give color and brilliancy.
Chiffon Cloth Revived.
The French are intimat:ng tina, these
outside blouses are most effective
when made of fine handkerchief linen
and filet lace, of white net and Val
lace, and they have revived that thick
ened chiffon known as chiffon cloth
They use mousseline to a great extent,
which we do not We like the chiffon
cloth, however. for we have found that
it gives months of service and is
cleaned in an easy and satisfying
manner.
The sketch shows one of these
blouses in white chiffon cloth, with
collar. cuffs, belt and hem made from
squares of blue and white chiffon This
is the Cabot trick of last season you
may remember, this placing colored
squares on white surface as d finish
to all edges. The sash is quite attrae-
tive. don't you think? 1t is much
more informal and artistic than a belt.
1t ties loosely in back with short ends
and has simulated buckle in front
