to rigid tests TO prove them In the
treatment of Abraham we have a
supreme example. God tested Abra-

fondest hopes and PURPOSES, but
when we have met the test as Abra-
ham did we get back our offering or
greater things instead.

teriaI the softer II is to the skin. and
towels should be chosen which have the
least possible finish or shine, as this shows
the material is artifcially coated.
Just now women are faced with an acute
servant problem. and also the problem OF
doing extensive outside, patriotic work.
In order to do this outside work they must
manage their own homes on as simple and
efficient basis as possible It will be more
patriotic to give an hour to the Red Cross
than to stand ironing a threeyard table
cloth. II would even be better TO use
paper napkins for week Of the time thus
saved could be devoted to selling Liberty
Bonds or War Savings Stamps.
So let the woman beware Of excessive
doilies. long tabecloth and all those kinds
OF linen which require either extensive
hired service or too much labor on the
part OF the woman herself II any new

the unsightly appearance OF your shoes

ribbon are probably far less worth while

Always avoid buying very fluffy"

woolly blankets results In a flying fuzz on
the bedroom floor which must be picked
up with the dustpan. often a double
blanket folded on the half VIII give better
service than pair Of single blankets for
q small size bed. Real, or almost all wool.
blankets have a very short nap. the closely
woven, have a somewhat animal odor, and
cost at least s12 In a single size.
What are called army blankets are made
in khaki or gray color. are heavy and felt

to be the fashion 10 have only white blan-
kets. but now that outdoor sleeping is more
popular various colored or Indian blankets
are found more servicesble. Indeed. for a
child's bed the colored robe-like blanket
is preferable to a white blanket which
soils and shows every spot. particularly
grease or medicine
Many people purchase what are called
"comfortables." These are made OF a cot
ton packing covered with various qualities
OF silkoline. etc. Now long experience
has taught that these heavy comfortables
give weight without warmth unless made
OF feathers or down. The packing or fill
ing often mats and It is almost impossible
10 wash them. Hence they are not at all
sanitary. especially on beds for children.
II they must be bought. choose small. light
weighted ones and examine a cross section

may better be expended In blanket which
is always preferable because It can be
washed to the last thread and is never so
heavy in weight.
It would be a good thing II the manufac-
turers would standardize the size OF towels
At present there are endless sizes, and the
result is great difficulty. in laundering and
IN arranging them in the closet. II towels

w so true as In the matter OF
shoes. The low price OF pair OF shoes
may attract you because Of the condition
OF your purse at that particular time. on;
in a few weeks you wish you had bought
q pair worth while
Poor economy in footwear proves % be
an enormous expense. Cheap shoes are
expensive not only because the material
in them proves TO be different from what
you expected, but because you suffer q
great deal OF misery in addition 70 your
establishment.
Shoes which sell at an apparently low
price often are only substitutes for good
footwear because good work snd good ma
.erial have not gone into their making
Cheap shoes are not made in the factory

OF your feet There is little or no provi-
sion made for the support OF the arch. and
the heels are very often not straight, but
make your ankles twist and turn as you
walk. II you continue TO wear shoes OF
that type for any length Of time you will
find yourself suffering from fallen arches
and weak ankles.
A cheap shoe does not always mean
that you paid a small price for them.
though most frequently this is a drawn con-
cluslon. cheap shoe however, may be
q cheap make. but expensive for your
pocketbook. 1t is not only price that usu-
ally determines the quality OF a shoe, but
workmanship and material
When you purchase a pair Of shoes look
inside and see how they are lined II the
shoe is a good one, you VIII find the inner
lining made OF good canvas and soft
leather. There are no seams, as a result
Of rough finish, but as you slip your hand
in to feel the seams, you find that they are
so well finished of as not even TO be felt
When they are slipped on your foot you
feel they are soft and roomy, and do not
crowd your toes nor press upon them TO
give you corns
4 pair Of shoes made for comfort as
well as for style are made with broad.
medium height, leather heels, so that your
weight can rest on a base wide enough TO
support it comfortably, and low enough to
throw your balance forward upon the balls
OF your feet.
II the whole surface Of your feet does
not bear your weight, you soon become
very tired, and II you are at work you at
efficiency. When you are tired II is nat
ural to expect kind OF work not charac-
teristic Of your best.
Such shoes, moreover, not only throw
your weight unduly forward, but throw
your feet forward In the shoe. Under this
condition your toes are in the uppermost
of the part OF the shoe and they are
squeezed and tucked over and under one
another. This results IN throwing one or
two toes higher than the rest and nearer

A MOTHER Fall-time task Of the con-
~ scientious housekeeper IS thorough
= looking over or her linen and
blanket closet to put all IN readiness for
the Winter season. And Just now. with
war-brides IN a popular majority, many
new housekeepers will be thinking Of buy
ing their hrst furnishings. Since the out
lay for both bedding and linen Is consider
able, few words as to wise buying may
not be amiss.
Linen generally covers the articles not
only Of table wear. but sheets. pillow cases
and towels, as we'll We understand that
there IS a law in Texas regulating the size
OF the sheet And it certainly is important
TO have sheets both wide and long enough.
and yet at the same time not too large
Sheeting comes In standard lengths and
widths Once the bed is decided on, then
a sheet should be chosen which will have
an overhang OF nine inches at each edge
to tuck In comfortably. Also the sheet
should be long enough 70 give ample tuck
in at the bottom, so that ones feet will not
kick uncomfortably out OF the covers. At
least a one and half inch hem at top and
bottom gives frmness to the sheet. Cheap
sheets are always known by their narrow
ness and scanty hens.
Some people think that unbeached mus
lin is more durable. but experience seems
to show that good grade OF bleached mus
lin is superior 20 the unbleached variety.
which often has imperfections in the weave
and which never looks as clean upon the
bed.
There are about three standard sizes OF
pillow and corresponding sizes OF pillow
cases However there are often found on
the market cheap and small cases. selling
for a few cents less than those Of proper
size and quality. By all means, pick out
a case that is large enough, otherwise the
pillow will be too tightly cased and IN
comfortable IN making pillow cases at
home buy pillow case tubing" which has
no seam and which needs only a seam at
the end, or leave the case open at both
ends for convenience and ease in putting
on and in ironing.
Most OF the blankets offered to the public
are cotton, with a fleece finish. which is
warm and wool like. or have al least a
cotton warp. There is no reason Why such
partly cotton blankets should not be pur-
chased, because they are fairly warm, and
n woven with a short-not a loose-inish-
