and cafes. Not so much in the former
case as a matter of economizing in
linen, as economizing in labor. Nap
kins, tray cloths, doiics and center
pieces of linen are so cleverly made of
paper that they are proving altogether
satisfactory substitutes :or ii, except
upon occasions of more or less formal
ity. Napkins, once used, are thrown
away. Centerpieces, tray cloths and
doilieS of paper can be used until
Soiled. They are prettily made, very
cheap and eliminate laundering. Be-
forth with them.
Besides these paper furnishings for
the table, paper decorations for house

fad for lamp and candle shades of
parchment paper. These are hand
painted and do not suffer by compar-

far less expensive. Besides they allow

If you are wise you will not use

Turn to your war conservation cook

ways to use the sugar substitutes. You
will find many recipes for cakes, but
most of them were built to save wheat
as we'll as sugar. We have this cause
for rejoicing at least: Though we must
cut down our use of sugar we still have
wheat for cake making and our old
stand-bys in time of sugar stringency
-molasses, corn sirup, and honey
are still prOcurabe.
The cakes made with sirup are not
