ECONOMICAL SUGGESTIONS FROM AUNT MEHlTABLE.

 Dear Social Cornerites:-Ho are you all? And how do you like this good ofd- fashioned winter? Yours truly is half frozen most of the time and heartily agrees with the person who said: e'It is about time for the people who predicted a mild winter to rise and explain: s.s,ss
 Although. I have not written. for a number of months have enjoyed and profted by the letters of the others. |
 Arabel1a:-I can reply to your ques- tion about a good hair tonic. I also had tried massaging and several diff ferent tonics without any effect I think that your friend was right in saying that 1t is not well to sham poo the hair too often. One cannot laY down a rule that will apply to every case.s Some hair is very oily and needs more frequent washing than the dry kind.
 It is worthswtilest go al least a few times to a good hair dresser, let her shampoo. and advise about home treatment. Fifteen months ago my hair dresser adv4hd vaselir.e hair tonic, to be used once or twice a week according to the condition of the hair. The idea is 10 keep it we'll nourished. The tonic must be very thoroughly rubbed into the roots of the hair and the scalp well massage.
 Although my hair continued to come out did not lose faith because the hair dresser said it would nor stop falling until all the dead hair WIS out. After using it for several months we discovered that new hair was coming in That sounds "a tf1er "fshy'. but it is very genuine look ing hair. and growing in natural mapner.
 This tonic can be bought at any good drug store and costs a little over thirty cents. It is called simply vase line hair tonic.
 Following are uggestions for com batting Fl. c. L.:-
 A Homemade Nut Rutter-To three portions of ordinary butter o1 good quality rse two portions of pea nut butter. Beat until smooth and creamy. One would not care to use if all the time. but we think it is bet ter than any nut butter on the mar ket,s and it tastes good on bread 0, rolls once a day. If you buy peanut he much economy. One can get (pre- ferably at the butter and egg store) good peanut, butter for twenty -foul cents a pound which is a little more than third of the cost of ordinary butter.
 second-Use part skim milk 1T cooking. It costs only five cents a ! quart.
 A5Mice Dish for lunch or supper i, ] creamed rice. To one quart of mill use four tablespoons of rice and ont teaspoons salt; cook over hot water 1 stirring often, until rice is soft ant creamy. It takes; two hours
 The Plain Creamed Rice is goot ] but a f1avoring of some kind improve! 1 it. To flavor with celery use a large l cup of the outside stalks and some O 1 the tender leaves cut in sTn4ll pieces | Do not boil at all just steam then | with the rice and milk To flavol ] with cheese use small cup or three, l fourths of 3. large cup of cheese ct1 1 fine-s Other ways of varying it vii i doubtless occur to you. For instances Although aricher when made witt l whole milk it is good when Apar whole milk and part skim milk ar, l used.
 I quite agree with those who dis approve of high heeled shoes I i 6oes seem sad for any woman to eu. danser her health for the saae of ,suci a silly fashion. And if such heels ar, 1 dangerous for ordinary walking wha must they be in the ice and snow.
 Interested Reader:-My calendar i l unusually pretty and very acceptable
