KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERs

/ tin in the cover Of which he had
punched holes, and this contrivance
made the dampening of the clothes much
easier than doing it with her hands.
Into her notebook went the entry that
several Of the sheets were worn very
thin in the middle. BY tearing them
down the center and sewing up the two
outside edges she could bring the still
unworn portions of the sheet into serv-
ice and the worn part hemmed on the
outside would last for a long time in a
place where there was no wear on It.
This has certainly been a wonderful
winter for our coal bin" said Henry
cheerfully as he poked up the crate fire
in the living room in the evening; I'VE
will get through the season without
having TO buy another lump. That
ought to count to the credit OF your
washing machine I should think"
"Al in good time l shall own that
coveted time and labor saver" an
swered Mrs Hooper "and in the mean
time I'm glad Ellen has gone. am as
proud as possible Of my washing and
my mending promises to be cut in half"

WEDNESDAY,.

Mrs. Hooper was very particular that
her family should have proper breakfasts,
as she believed that they needed food
enough at this meal to carry them
through the morning and that about one
fourth of the days energy requirement
should be furnished by breakfast
In planning her breakfast she carefully
considered the time element in prepar-
ing the meal, so that there was never
any wait for some part Of the breakfast
to finish cooking, while another portion
of II was being eaten. Combining food
that could be partially prepared the night
| before with that which could be cooked
quickly in the morning was the way she
solved this problem. She always started
the cereal before she left the kitchen at
night and whenever there was to be hot
bread served for breakfast she measured
and slfted the dry ingredients and made
the pans ready at the same time.
She did not consider fruit for break
fast an extravaganza because OF its stimu-
latng value to tn eappetite, its laxative
effect the mineral salts and caiortes
which 1t furnishes and the vitamines
which are contained in It.
The dried fruits which she served at
breakfast were always prepared before
hand and she found that an easy way
to do II was to wash them well, and
place them in a casserole with boiling
water. They are covered tightly and
cooked very slowly In the oven or on
top Of the stove. This method brings out
all the natural favor and sweetness Of
the fruit
II don't think we ought TO use a table
cloth for breakfast, mother, now that you
are doing the washing" said Helen as
she put the grapefruit in place. "The
blue and white table runner and the
doilies are prettier, think, and so much
easier to wash"
"I've always wanted to make that
change dear" said Mrs. Hooper, but
father does like the old fashioned white
table cloth for all his meals. We viii
convert him to the doillles now though,
as It really does make a great deal OF
extra work"
"I'u try and make the table look so
well with the runners" said Helen, that
he won't notice it."
In preparing her clothes for ironing.
Mrs Hooper always used hot water 10
dampen her clothes instead Of cold as
they are prepared much more quickly
that way. Roger had fashioned a
sprinkler for her from baking powder

SOCIETIES CHOOSE
DEBATING TEAMS

The last Saturday night of the fall
term saw the selection of the DEBATING
teams of the different literary socie-
ties. The Japanese exclusion act
question was debated. Considerable
interest was shown in the personnel
of each team as shown by the number
of participants seeking place as a
representative. One society had as
many as fourteen. The selection was
based on individual and prospective
merit. We shall all look for
ward to the elimination debate
series with good deal of pleasur-
able anticipation because many of the
members have had enough experience
to warrant the staging of interesting
contests.
The representatives of the Clionian
society are Lorene Heston, Mary Ma
son, and Lillian Ford. The judges
were Miss Edith Van Middlesworth,
Miss Olga Stevning, and Miss belle
Sletten.
The Philomathian Society team con-
sists of Ella May Boyd, Marie Honl.
and Mabel Morley. Three other mem.
bers were chosen as second team
to act as substitutes in case one or
more members of the regular team
should for any reason be unable to
serve. They are Marion Coyle, Dor
othy Gates, and Esther MalakoWskl.
The Judges were Miss Esther A. Clark,
Miss Mary Woll, and J. H. Seymour,
For the Atheneum Society the
Judges chose Helen Mofitt, Amy Hales,
and Cecilia MEME: The judges were
Miss Lydia Kreutz, Miss Helen M.
Crane, and Miss Nettie Skurdall::,
We do not yet know who will re-
present the E. B. C. Society or II 1T
be the intention to enter team Tor
debating honors. If so, we assume the
team will be chosen in the near future.
