GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

TWO ANSWERED LETTERS.


A Farmers Wife.--"Away back in July
sometime / think, you answered a letter
through your column from farmer wlic,
who asked if there were some other way
to prepare salted beef than boiling ~.
You answered that the only other way
was to smoke it and advised the inquirer
to erect a smokehousc for this purpose.
Now what want to know is this, Is there
no other way to smoke-cure meats than
to go to the trouble and expense OF erect
ing smokehouse2 My husband WAS q
teacher, then his health broke down and
we have moved onto farm in the hope
that country life may build him up again
but we know so little about farming rs
yet Can you help us2
Answer. regular smoke
house is nice to have. it is not necessary
if you will be satisfied to smoke only .
small quantity of meat at n time, barrel
or box will a. swer as well.
The meat which you wish to smoke
should be removed from the brine the day
before smoki &. half hour OF soaki IN
cold water will prevent crust of salt
forming on the outside. DO not hang the
meat over the fire so that two pieces
touch, as this will prevent uniform
smoking. The fire should ne made OF
green hickory or any of the hardwoods or
maple. Pine or any other rcsinous woods
should never be used as they give dis
agreeable flavor TO the meat II it is not
possible for you to get hard wood, then
lis, CORE cobs rather than soft wood. Corn
cobs will leave dirty deposit on the meat
(which is carbon) but it is not objection
able aside from a standpoint OF appear
ance. Always start with a slow hre In
order to warm the meat gradually.
Thirty-six TO forty-eight hours of heat as
near 100 degrees Fehrenheit as possible
will be sufficient 20 smoke the meat.
Store the smoked meats in dry, cool
cellar or attic whore there is good cir
culstion. Moat which is to be used soon
may be h uug up without covering, but
that which is TO be kept for somc time
should be wrapped IN waxcd paper twhen

bags tied tightly to prevent the entrance
of sects.
Elderly Reader TT want to ask ak
Of my old frionds TO an afternoon party,
but can't think what We can do to enjoy
ourselves. We are too old TO play games
(auyway two Of my friends are blind and
one is larne) and don't play cards. What
do old ladies over 20 do when they attend
afternoon parties? / have never before

Answer.-Why don't you begin the
party with contest such as this: Ask
everyone to tell some story Of the "oid
DAYS" ard award prize to the ore who
tells tho most interesting story. The story
may be humorous or simply sweet ard
pretty. Set a ten-minute limit on the
storytelling. A nice prize to offer would

THE KINGS LESSON.
Part /.

Orce there was little Princess born in
n palace where son was much wished for
by the king
When the King heard it was daughter
that the stork had brought instead of a
son, his rage was so great that he declared
he would have the babe thrown into the
forest.
The poor Queen was frantic with
fear, for she loved the dear little dauqh-
ter. ard TO save her from the rage of the
King she sent for an old witch who lived
miles and miles in the forest.
This old witch she begged to help
her by cha girg her child into some
ether shape that she might be safe and
her life spared.
When the witch told the Queen she
might choose the form her child would
take, she chose beautiful, sweet-voiced
canary.
The King, not seeing the child around,
after while forgot his wrath, ard by ard
by son was brought to the palace by the
old stork and he was made happy.
One day when the bird was singing
n sweet song for the Price the kirg
came into the room and for the first
lime noticed the bird.
But when the bird saw the King it
stopped singing at once, and fluttered
about the cage and nothing the Prince
could do would quiet it until the King
left the room.
After a while the Prince did not want
his father to come near the bird. an

THE 44-HOUR HOUSEMAID.

Would YOU like to be housemaid If
your week WAS only "a hours long2 If your
day WAS an S-hour day and YOU were
treated exactly IS any business woman IS
treated?
That Is what certain group Of women
near White Plains, n. Y propose to find
out. They are training four girls in house
hold ta ks, preparing them 70 be experts
IN the work They hope that these four
are mere straw that will show the wind
the right direction TO blow and that
hundreds Of young girls who do not care
10 60 into factory work may be induced to
turn their attention 20 domestic work.
There Is little doubt that the American
woman viii increasingly turn TO such
labor, If domestic labor is as properly
managed and well-paid and IS placed on
the same basis OF personal freedom as OBJ
tanned IN shop or factory positions.
The women who sire back of this new
school expect to tram what they call
Household assistants" Such assistants
viii be thoroughly competent young
women, who will give their services for q
specified time during each day, find
their own meals, be paid a good salary,
and live Ii their own homes, precisely as
the Office assistant does now.

other four to another household. Her work
viii be Of professional thoroughness, and
such an arrangement will be particularly
appreciated by women who are themselves
IN business and who want someone who
vii put Their apartment into good order
and prepare the evening meal They do
not waI.t a worker for an entire day. On
the other hand many a hurried housewife
would be only too glad TO have help
through the mornings.
There will be no difficulty IN the
trained domestic assistant finding clients, "
] was told. ''They will be able to sign up
for an entire year, picking their hours TO
suit themselves. And they can insist on
having the best tools, the newest electric
equipment and labor-saving devices. 1t is
right that hotsework should move into
a position of importance and dignity, and
it is doing so far more quickly than many
realize"
1t sounds rather attractive, and GER
tainly promises work that is sure Of being
varied, and to the girl born with home
instincts it should appeal more than
those types of labor that are strictly
stereotyped and machine made.

as he spent most of his time where he
could hear it sing the XII & soon learned
to his sorrow that his son loved the yellow
canary better than he did his father
The King was growing old and this
made him feel SO sad that he began
to think about the little daughter he
had despised and to wonder what had
becom of hr.
The Queen, fearing he might harm
the bird, told the Kirg she had one day,
soon after she was born, disappeared,
and knowing he did not want the child
she had not tried to find her.
When the King WAC feeling very sad
and lonely one day he heard the sweet
notes of the canary and cwpt to the
door and listened. Its sorg seemed to
soothe him, and every time he felt sad
after that he would stand outside and
wait for the bird to sirg.
By and by he grew to love the bird
and wanted TO be able to be rear II,
but. knowing the bird WAS frirhtered
at the sight of him and refused 20 sing
when he WAS near, he dared not go in.
One day he had beautiful gold cage
brought to the palace for the carary, and
crystal dishes placed In it, and gilded per-
shes for the bird to sit upon.
Then ore day, findirg the door aiar,
the King looked in and listcred as the
bird sang. and great lorgirg came over

loved.

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE
Dear TSsie:

Dear Tessie:
The shirts arrived O. K, the 40. K"
being meant as part OF the punctuation
more than az description OF the shirts.
As soon as the color of them struck my
eve. which It did practically the moment
| started 10 unite the string OF the bundle,
| realized that my worst fears were as
nothing compared with the reality. That
pink is so pink if it was any pinker it
would be red Now | ask you, Tessie, when
your husband walks along the streets,
even in distant city, which would you
rather have people remark Here comes
well set up man, or Here comes pink
shrt?"
As to the collar bands being size 10
instead Of size Is that's more serious
error in construction than you seem to
imagine and for one don't agree with
you when you say it's better to have
them too big than too small. Do you think
it would make less difference In mans
life if one leg was too long instead Of too
short? You got to use your bean In these
things Tessie. ] will make a kind of
box score of the other things that keep the
shirts from being anywhere near perfect:
J. The tails. You must Of had the de-
lusion you were making kites instead of
shirts
q The buttons. There are five different
sizes and complexions on the two shirts,
they are on the left side instead of the
right and most Of them have took up their
stand some place opposite a buttonhole.
3. The buttohholes. They run east and
west instead of north and south and are
on the right side instead of the left which
may be point IN their favor at that, con-
sidering the buttons are all on the left.
Otherwise, Tessie, there's nothing wrong
with the shirts except the color, which
would of been enough In the first place to
Of put them on the disabled list However,
/ certainly appreciate your misguided
efforts, and | think III send the shirts
home again and you can put them in my
shirt drawer where they will make nice
showing underneath my other shirts.
As to the thin blonde Mrs. Fink saw
in your tea cup, don t be foolish, Tessie.
The only thin blonde In my history has
been thing Of the past ever since you
started to take on weight. Joke.
Your own, Joe.
Tomorrow Tessie makes few reflections
on the cost AZ food
