GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
BY Laura A. Kirkman.
is COTTAGE CHEESE EVER SEEN
ON YOUR TABLE?


Not long ago | ran into the house of a
friend and caught her in the act of throw
ing away pint of milk which she had,
accidentally, left on the kitchen table
overnight instead of putting it in her ice
chest.
Watt | cried, just in time, why
don Z YOU make cottage cheese out of lt2'
''Oh, | don't know how" she replied,
YEARLY.
| thereupon told her how, directing
her TO put the bottle of milk in q warm
place until it became n little thicker, 80
that it could be used for this purpose.
And rs | walked home ! reflected that
the season why women OF today do not
make cottage cheese as much rs their
grandmothers did, is because most OF
them don't know how and don't take
the trouble to learn. 1t is so much easier
lust to throw away the sour milk! Yet II
they already knew how, they would find
it lust rs easy to use If for cottage cheese
hope that the following directions
will persuade many women to use their
sour milk for this delicious and lnexpch-
sive cheese, instead of throwing 1t away

Now really the woman WASH bag az
all. She really wasn't old. 1t she had
been dressed appropriately to her age ana
had had her honest gray hair, she wouid
have impressed everyone rs n pretty
middle-agcd woman. But when she tr,ed
to look like flapper, she only succeeded
in looking like the witch OF Endor.
Something like that happens to every
woman who tries to look like her own
Granddaughter. She only makes herself
ridiculous. for youth is one Of the things
that cannot be initiated. / once heard
hair-dresser trying to dissuade woman
from having her gray hair dyed.

the color of girls, but cant give you
girls young face To wear under 1T, nor the
look OF a girl s young eyes. Your eyes have
seen too msch, and life has written It's
story in the lines on your face.
And if women make mistake in trying
To paint themselves up, and doll them
selves up, so that they look younger than
they are, they are guilty Oh stlii more
objectionable folly in trying to act IKE
debutantes long after they are old enough
to know better.

The quest has reached the acute stage
during the present week and mer-
chants know what style ideas have
proved most successful. To begin
with the longer skirt is finally and
emphatically approved by f~ashionables
skirts are longer by many inches,
the rule being eight or even six inches
from the floor. Also they are plain.
Poiret twill, tric0tine and serge are
all well represented In suits and dec
orative features appear on coats,
which are made In at least three dis.
tinct styles, including the box coat,
the straight line belted coat and the
semi-ftted models.
In the matter Of decorations, braids
may come and beads may go hut EN-
hroideries 20 on forever. apparently.
A few models reveal beaded decora-
tiOns. many are trimmed with fiat
braids or ribbon, hut still greater
numbers are either embroidered or

March winds are blowing Ger noun
tain and vale,
F1inging the snow-drifts away,
Rivers run riot and laugh at the gale,
Skies are all sunless and gray.
Robins regretting their journey so long
From Southland. where blossoms are
bright.
Seek shelter from storm, forgetting
their song.
While swift fall the shadows Of
night,
But out In the woodland the children
have found
Sweet bloom on n low trailing vine.
"Arbutus. 'Tis S~pringtime." Their
voices resound
With joy. and their Joy shall be
mine.
