GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
By Laura A. Kirkman.
WHAT DOES THE GOOD HOUSE
KEEPER" KNOW HOW TO COOK

'What things should a good house
keeper know how TO bake?" a bride
reader has asked me by letter. 'I mean
typical things, that an old housekeeper
is supposed TO know how TO bake. And
what else should she know how to do on
her stove2"
A good housekeeper should know how
"a bake the following things land by this
] mean all housekeepers-botht those with
maids and those without maids for even
the woman who never has TO lift her hand
10 do stroke of cooking, should know
how to cook and bake so as TO direct her
maids intelligently and to be able to do
the work herself in case of an emergency: ::
White bread, whole wheat bread, corn
bread, yeast biscuit, quick biscuit, white
layer cake with various filings and frost
ings, chocolate layer cake, fruit cake, loaf
cakes, meringue pies, fruit pies, mince and
pumpkin pies, tarts, breakfast mullins and
pop-oyers, cookies These things, most
sssuredly, good housekeeper knows how
70 bake.
And now comes my reader-friends'
second question: "What else should she
know how 10 do?" Aside from the baking
she should know how to prepare all meats
and vegetables for the table, including
gravies, sauces and soups. She should
know how TO make all the hot beverages
and ordinary puddings and desserts. And
she should know how to "put up" fruits
and vegetables in cans for winter use.
Wouldn't it be splendid if all girls were
taught to do these things before marriage

Old Reddy Fox waited up all that
night with gun to keep them away

waited, and the next, until the paint
was quite dry.

work done very cheap; am a sly fellow,

One morning old Reddy ate his break
fast and settled down for a smoke in
front of his kitchen stove, but If he had
looked out of the window he might have
seen ToInmie and Bennie Fox walking
along In the woods and looking at old.
Reddy's house every once In while
Old Reddy put his feet on the edge Of
the stove and leaned back and filed
his pipe and lighted it.
He took a puff and then removed his
pipe from his mouth and tasted He
looked at the pipe and then he took
a good, long pull, and then something
happened.
Old Reddy threw back his head and
sneezed before he could sit up in bss
char. He sneezed again, and over went
the chair, Old Reddy still sneezing.
Of fell his spectacles, and off fell his
wig, and still he sneezed, until all the
forest folk came running as fast as they
could thinking n cyclone or something
terrible had happened.
He sneezed until the stovepipe shook
and fell, and out came the SCOT all over
the floor and old Reddy, too.
''He is having st, said old Mr.. Bear.

something for old Reddy Fox" and of
they ran 70 the well.
Old Reddy lay on the floor still sneezing,
and Tommie and Bennie, each with pail
of water, poured it over him. Then they
ran for more water and again threw it
over poor old Reddy, who by this time
was sitting up and trying to tell them to
stop.

of mine in New York-a girl who was
studying music--met and married young
business man whom she had known but
few months. The girl was .country-born
and had had thorough training IN her
mothers kitchen before she went to the
city to study, but this the young man did
not realize when he married her. Imagine
his surprise, then, when his young bride
quite naturally set up bread the first week
of their married life, in their little apart
ment kitchenette, and just as naturally
baked him delicious apple pies and jelly
tarts, making the Jelly herself from a
couple of quarts of fruit she had bought
at the market around the cornerl
Bob is so ridiculous" this happy bride
wrote me at that time. .'Hc acts rs IT he
didn't know it was possible for girl to
bake things. He simply raves over my
pies and you'd think he'd never tasted
homemade bread in his life before q guess
his mother never made it for him, though,
and he certainly never got it at his board
ing house before he marriedl. He says he
understood / could cook when he asked
me to marry him, but he never dreamed
/ could do what he calls heavy baking
he means by that the old-fashioned things
that old housekeepers know how to bake,
l have seen this young couple recently
and | have said to myself, looking from
one happy face to the other, "a marriage
started right. Their happiness is due to
their mutual admiration; he admlres good
housekeeping and she admires his success
in business. believe there would be more
happy marriages in the world if all brides
had been we'll trained in housekeeping be-
fore marriage"

siderable time, however, owing to the
great number received. So if personal or

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear IeSsle:
The news that you have made up your
mind to make me a couple of pink silk
shirts is not as cheerful sit might sound
to chance outsider. First of all, the only
time pink as color ever struck respon-
sive chord with me was back IN the gold
en- age when certain cocktails used to
come in that shade. You speak of it being
a "manly pink" but the way ] look at it,
Tessie, you might as well speak of manly
near-beer or a wonanly mustache. And In
the second place / have serious doubt
about that '4womanly intuition" stuff
helping you TO induce q shirt to hang
right. / have great respect for a woman's
intuition, but they ought to confine it TO
animated objects, like men, because the
way / lock at it, Tessie, a woman's in
tuition is like hypnotism and the party Of
the End part has got to believe in it or
it won't work.
Understand, Tessie, if you've fully
decided to make the shirts / wouldn't for
the world say anything in the nature of a.
to every question, that's my motto, and
though / certainly appreciate your inten-
tions in this matter | feel confident you
are broad minded enough to see both sides
of the argument
AS for the Poles and the Bolsheviks
mot "Bolshevikies" as I've told you before,
but YOU never had much of q head for
international fine points, I'm inclined to
favor the Poles, not that the Bolsheyiks
ever do anything to me except crowd the
sporting news out of the papers for a long
time, but simply that two Polack grocers

UNUSUAL PROFESSIONS.

Last week spoke of there being women
in unusual professions who might prove
an inspiration 10 other women. from time
TO time, as opportunity offers, | Will cite
one OF these professions, and | should be
very glad II any woman who Is making
good at something different, something
that few If any other women have turned
their attention toward, viii write me her
experiences. Letters that told of pioneer
ing in new former work would make excel
lent reading for other workers.
Take such a profession as that of Mrs.
Louise Pickney Sooy. Of Pasadena. She
is teaching the art Of play producing, and
has carried a large and enthusiastic class
through the summer course at the com
munity playhouse in her city.
Women are going into the theatres
these days In many capacities. In old times
q woman could be an actress or an orange
seller in a playhouse, and that about
ended her opportunities as far as the world
of the theatre extended But today she is
writing plays, marketing plays, designing
costumes and producing. She Is running
her own theatres and managing her own
companies.
Mrs. Sooy begins her course with talks
ON the psychology of color and the effect
of line and mass. Lighting forms an I'M
portant item She teaches the craft
processes involved. the dyeing, the STEM
cling, block printing, batik and applique
used In costume making, and the actual
making of the costume. In the growing
interest In community playhouses and IN
pageants Mrs. Sooy sees an extending
opportunity for the professional teacher
Of these arts. The use of scenery, the
managing Of professions and groups, the
creating of stage pictures, these are all
part of the course. The final work In
cIudes the producing Of given play in al
its details, and the graduates from Mrs.
Sooys course viii be prepared for profess
sional service. But most of them will not
aim at that. They want to be able 10 do
community work intelligently and effec-
lively, TO handle amateur productions IN
professional way.
1t is as teacher of this growing clientele
that the opportunity for the ambitious
woman consists. Either as member of
the faculty in one of the many universities
or colleges interested IN developing this
particular art, or as a private teacher IN
her community, such woman can be sure
of interesting work and an attractive
income.
