At this particular time when

The book is largely composed OF

SaUing Money in the Home
Little Tricks For Women
in Household Economics
Ru EIIzARETH LATTIMER
By ELIZABETH LATTIMER.

Many housekeepers, unfortunate
iy, choose their food in a hit or
miss fashion. This Is a great mis-
take. both from the standpoint OF
evonomy and nutriment. / have
always been a nrm advocate OF
menus made out a week In advance.
This system solves "left-over' prob
lens and eliminates the chance of
serving the same or the same sort
OF things too soon In succession.
Every food falls into one of five
groups, each serving a special pur-
pose In nourishing your body. You
need some food from each group
daily. Don't skip any.
Fruits and vegetables.
e-Milk, cheese, eggs, fish. meat.
beans, peas, peanuts.
Cereals - cornmeal, ostme al,
rice. rye, wheat. bread.
f-sugar, syrups, jelly, honey.
candles.
o-Fats-butter, margarine, cot
tonseed oil, olive oil, drippings,
suet, bacon, chocolate.
III you use this food group idea
In planning your meals, you may be
able to reduce the cost and improve
the quality.
Here are the reasons why you
need the five groups OF foods:
Vegetables and fruits-These fur
nish some OF the material from
which the body is made and keep
Its. many parts working smoothly.
They help to prevent constipation
which gives headaches and makes
you stupid. The kinds you choose
depend upon the season, but re-
member that the cheaper ones are
often as valuable as the moro ex.
pensive.
Milk. cheese, eggs, fish, meat
peas, beans-These help build up
the growing body and renew used
up parts. That is their main busi-
ness. Dried peas and beans make
good dishes TO use in place of meat,
part of the time, but do not leave
out these others entirely. Milk Is
the most important. Buy at least
a pint a day for every member Of
your family. more for young chill
dren. No, other food can take it's
place for them. Save on meat II
you must. but do not skimp on
milk.
Scrc2iB, brea0 ana breakfast
foods-These foods. made from
grain, flour, and meal, act as fuel
to let you do your work, much as
the gasoline burning in an auto
mobile engine makes the car go.
This you can think OF as their chief
business. Besides, they give your
body some building material.
Sugar and syrups-These, too. are
fuel. They also give flavor to 9TH
cr foods. They are valuable food.
but many people eat more Of them
than they need, and we could get
along better without this group
than without any OF the others.
Sweet fruits. especially dried ones
like dates and raisins, contain
much sugar and are better for the
children than candy.
Fats-These are fuel Some are
needed especially by hard-working
people. Remember that expensive
fats are no better fuel than cheap
ones. Use drippings from bacon
and other leftover fats. Do not let
your butcher keep the trimmings
from your meat: they belong to
you. Children need some butter
fat. Give it to them in plenty OF
whole milk or in butter.
Divide your food dollar into
fifths, spending 20 cents approxi-
tmately on each group. II you raise
part of your food, pay yourself for

The Vogue For
CrOcheted Work
THE vogue for crocheted wear
has been steadily growing

TIVE vogue for crocheted wear
has been steadily growing
= since the first filet sweater
lay close to the feminine heart
Beautiful work can be quickly
done In ones spare moments and
nothing Is more fascinating to do
after one really gets interested.
Lovely camisole tops, powder
bags, "nightie" yokes and numer-
Gus other pretties grow quickly
under clever, nimble fingers.
II you do not know the gentle
way OF the crochet needle there are
many books on sale that explain
very clearly the directions for a be-
ginner. or course one chooses some
thing very simple for her first at
tempt, perhaps only "boxes," but II
is really no time before she can
make some of the prcttiest designs
In the crochet books.
A lovely border for q satin or
batiste camisole was recently made
in an interesting flower basket de-
sign. Dainty baskets are done at in
tervals and from these tumble small
flowers. The effect was very fetch
ing and there were cunning ribbon
rosettes on the ribbon shoulder
straps.
One Of the newest models I have
discovered Is an all lace camisole
crocheted in a tulip design. Marrow
pink satin ribbon bordered the
edges and a broader strip was used
at the bottom as a casing for an
\ elastic belt.
Smart yokes for dainty nighties
are being made with tiny sleeves.
A pretty pattern is formed OF wood
violets with leaves trailing their
loveliness over the front and shoul-
ders. Pale lavender ribbon runs it's
way through the edge of the neck
and ties in a charming little bow
at the right side.
Sleeveless sweaters are now be-
ing crochcted in light weight wool
and cotton for wear under the fall
suit on cool days. The slip-on
model is proving most popular and
IL Is crochoted snugly about the
waistline. Pretty edging outlines
tho armholes and deep square neck.
One may add quite an elaborate
though conventional design about
the hips and also above the belt
line.
Dainty baby pillows or small ones
for tho boudoir are being shown In
crocheted work mounted on pale
colored silks. A circle OF morning
glories twined their beauty around
the edges and q scalloped border

did not seem right that they should
be resting on the hard deck instead
OF on a canvas foot-rest. He re-
membered that his own chair had
a foot-rest, but 1t was in his cabin.
Should ne go and fetch Il? Dared
he offer IL to her? He was on hail
fellow -well-met terms with lions
and tigers, as April had curiously
OWNED, but having enjoyed fewer
encounters with women. was slight
ly shy OF them.
However, being naturally coura-
geous. he might presently have been
observed emerging from deck
cabin with q canvas footrest In his
hand, and IL was only the natural
sequence OF events that, while at
tempting to hitch IL on his chair,
his guileless gaze should discover
that April's feet were without sup
port.
He looked so shy and kind for
such a sun-bitten, weather-hardened
creature that she had no heart to
refuse the friendly offer, even had
she felt the inclination. Besides,
the advances made to her in the role
of Lady Diana were very different
from those she had 30 often been
obliged to repulse as April Poole.
An Old voyaEer.
She felt, too, that here was q man
not trying to make friends with any
Interior motive, but just because,
on this pleasant, delightful morn
ing, 1t was pleasant and delightful
to talk to some one and share the
pleasure.
Veraker Sarle had made the voy-
age to South Africa so many times
that he had lost count Of them, and
knew Madeira so we'll that 1t bored
him to go ashore there any more
1--WE have the best of 1t from
here, in spite of a little coal dust"
he told her, for, with a great deal
of rattling, banging. and singing on
the lower deck. the ship was TAX
ing on her voyage ration of coal.
"Still, you should go ashore and see
1t some time. 1t is worth a visit
for the sake OF the gardens, the
breakfast of fresh fish at the hotel
on the hilltop, and the humping
rush down again in the man-drawn
sleighs."
He took 1t for Ersnted that she
was a woman travelling for pleas
ure and likely to be back this way
soon; while she gave a little inward
sigh, wondering whether she would
ever have the money to return to
England or IL 1t would be her fate
to live in exile forever.
Sarle presented her with one Of
his simple maxims of life:
"All good citizens OF the world
should do everything once and once
only" he averred, with his frank
and disarming smile. "If we stuck
to that rule, life would never go
stale on u.s."
I'm afraid II would hardly apply
to everyday life and all the weary
things we have to do over and over
again"
~ was thinking = of the big
things" he said slowly, like pot
ting your first elephant or falling
in love. 1 don't know what equiva-
lents women have for these things"
. April could not forbear a little
ripple of laughter. -
"I believe they fall in love, too,

once TO hang, draw and quarter the

by all the men on the ship as the

scarlet! Can you imagine any
one who has a living to earn being
SO unwise? / find 1t difficult to
believe she is going to the Cape
to teach some ones children. only
hope that the story of her indis-
cretions will not precede her, poor
girl"
April was dumb. Mrs. Stanislaw
came to the conclusion that she
was dull and rather lacking in fem
mime sweetness, and after a while
went away to bargain with ma
tive for some embroideries. She
would have been delighted to know
what a poisoned barb she had i'm
planted and left quivering in the
side of the so-called Lady, Diana.
Beneath the folded v OF filmy lace
on April's bosom her heart was
beating passionately, and the rose
wreathed hat fortunately dropped
enough to hide the tears OK mortiti-
cation that filled her eyes. Her
name to be parodied and banded
about the ship on mems lips! A
poor thing-but her own!
One that, for alr<her ups and
downs, she had striven and con-
trived to keep untarnished. How
dared Diana Sandilands do this
thing to her? What foolishpess
had she herself been guilty of to
put 1t in another's power to thus
injure her?
Another Occupant.
Her eyes were so blurred with
tears that she did not notice at
what particular moment another
occupant had usurped the chair of
Major Sarle: 1t was a man this
time. April hastily seized a book
and began to read. He must have
stolen up with the silence OF a
tiger, and he reminded her of tigers,
somehow. though she could not
Iuite tell why, except that he was
curiously powerful and graceful
looking.
His hair. which grewA in . thick,
short mat, was strongly sprinkled
with silver, but his skin, though
brick red. was unlined. She judged
i'm to be a sailor man, for he lad

siops. made while diligently read
ing her book. He, too, was busy
reading in the same fashion, but,
mar>ilSe, was slower in his deduc-
Iions.
by the time she had finished with
his hair, he had not got much fur
ther than her angles. Certainly, he
had asccrtained that she was a
pretty woman before he took pos
session of his chair, but that was
merely instinct, the fulfilling of a
human law. Detail, like destruc-
tion, was 70 come after. He lin
gered over the first detail. They

For an instant the younger

A minute later Daniel Rodney

her hand to him.

kindly. what can I do for you?"

in as part of the money spent.
Save your money by using the
less expensive foods in each group,
with only enough OF those that cost
more to give flavor and texture.
You MAJ exchange one food foI
another in the same group. Tol
example, vegetables may be used
instead OF fruits; eggs. cheese
dishes. or sometimes beans, may be
used instead of meat; and oatmeal
instead of wheat; but neither oat
meal nor wheat can take the place
OF milk.
Cottage cheese made from skim
milk is an inexpensive substitute
for meat, and may be used in many
other ways also. Use both milk and
cereals. Cereals are usually your
cheapest fuel food. Foods in the
group with milk give fuel, too, and
so do the vegetables and, fruits, but
we depend upon starchy foods and
fats for most Of the fuel In our diet.
In choosing vegetables balance a
