Interior Decorating

Every woman. wants the home
that she creates to be beautiful. For
some to be "up to the minute" seems
most important. But most of US
would rather express our own in
dlvlduality in beautiful line. form
and color than to have the latest fad.
In the books selected are given the
underlying principles of art as ap-
piled to the house and it's furnish
ings laid down by those we'll quail
fled to speak and whose experience
will save us from many needless
mistakes.
; The book provides the technique
for expressing yourself. Would you
have peace and quiet supreme in
your sleeping room? Would you
have the living room a place where
everything is conducive to good fell
lowship and conversation, stimulat-
] ing and at the same time restful?
Then there are certain rules of the
game that you must know.
The. general principles of art as
applied to the home are treated in
all the books mentioned, but they are
intended for the homemaker, not the

Household Engineering

Engineering a family calls for
much adaptability. The house
should be run for the family, not
vice versa, as some "prize housekeep-
ers" seem to think. And plainly,
no engineer can show much eff
cheney without proper machinery.
The Efficient Kitchen is especially
devoted to equipment, and Foods
and Household Management, by
Kline and Cooley, while in text
book form, is excellent for refer
ence and covers a wide field from
budgeting and account keeping to
laundering and housecleaning, in
cluding kitchen furnishings and
fifteen chapters on foods.
An all-around book that covers
every one of the divisions men
toned in this library and might
claim a place on any one of the
shelves of our book case, it is so
all inclusive, is A Manual of Home
Making, by Van Rensselaer,, Rose
and Canon, of the Department of
Home Economics of Cornell, and

teresting survey of the period styles
Of decoration which flourished in
France and England more than
century ago, discusses the home of
to-day and shows how modern adap-
tations may be made, especially in
the country home. AS a reference
book this should be in the library
of every woman who wishes to be
we'll informed, but for practical use
it will be found of more value to
owners of elaborate than of simple
homes. The book is beautifully illus
trated with photographs of period
furniture.
Interior Decoration is one of the
best books on home decoration that
has been written. Mr.. Parsons gives
clearly the fundamental principles
of this subject. He leads a woman
on to think and see for herself and,
seeing, to express her own person
ality. A strong point in Miss de
Wolfe's book is it's illustrations,
which are many and express graph
ically what she has to say. Her in
fiuence has been great in clearing
away the worst of our mid-Victorian
legacy.

WV THAT lawyer would hang
wv out his shingle without
his Blackstone to back
him up? What doctor
would begin to practice without his
library on materia medica for con-
sultation and advice? And how
many women, when they begin to
practice housekeeping, have any
"authorities" back of them on
which to base their everyday
work and with which to meet
emergencies and special problems?
Yet no professional man needs
this more than the housekeeper,
whose duties are so diverse, whose
word is law in her own realm, on
whom, all sorts of demands fall
and who makes a home that radi-
ates wellbeing, health, happiness
and demonstrates to all who come
and go in it the "livableness of
life"-or else she makes only q
place that sends out widening cir-
cles of unhappiness, decreased vi
tality and discouragement in meet
ing the days demands.
Men go out into the world and
get inspiration and knowledge and
quickened powers from many con-
facts and competition; women stay
more at home and go out for pleas
ure, not business. Especially il
children make demands on time
and vitality, it is difficult for a
woman not to vegetate. She must
take definite steps to prevent it,
whereas man is pushed by neces-
sity and competition.

excellent. The directions are clear

Some of the Reasons Whu

All these reasons make it abb
solutely obligatory that women
Should have the inspiration and
the support of books-the garnered
experience of the wisest ones who
have worked out these problems
in advance.
Housekeeping is not an intui-
tional hit or miss job--it has only
been so because women had
neither money nor education and
did have enough intuition and
aptitude, SO that, pushed by neces-
sity, they could blunder along and
get through some way. 1t is not
the way to run the highly tech
nical and diverse job of home
making.
Every housekeeper, young or
old, has a right to her professional
library. And the new housekeeper,
tne one VINO mas clean sheet
ahead of her, certainly ought to
have one in the new Kitchen
whether she has book in the
library or not! Also as every pro-
fessional man has his technical
periodicals SO that he can keep up
with the times, and miss no new
tricks, so every woman ought to
have her periodicals and news
papers, to keep her abreast of do
ings in domestic science circles. 1t

sumer, in the end and takes bore
dom out OF housekeeping, while
it decreases routine work. ALP.

pecially the more elaborate dishes

and she attains it, along with prac-

also is especially strong on the

Dietetics and Child Feeding

Every woman who supplies food
to the family is dietitian whether
she knows it or not-the only ques-
tion is whether she is a good one or
a poor one. A diet is regulated
food supply, and the regulations may
have many objects in view, such as
to prevent rheumatism, to help the
child to grow sound teeth, bone,
nerves and flesh and to prevent
those of middle age from growing
laterally; or merely to furnish
sane, well-rounded ration and main
tain health and vigor.
No need to be terrorized by the
title Of one of the best of books on
this subject, Practical Dietetics With
Reference to Diet in Disease, by
Pattee, written primarily for nurses,
but so simple and we'll organized
that any woman can use it as
"house physician" for consultation
on special diet problems or to help
to carry out the doctors orders after
he has delivered an ultimatum and
left the woman<to struggle with its
enforcement. Actual recipes are

Sewing and Dressmaking
1t is a popular fallacy that a
woman is naturally endowed with
an ability to sew. Samplers now are
only curios and mothers no longer
set "stints'' of hemming for their
daughters. For this reason the
best and most practical means of
obtaining this knowledge, so essen
tial to every homemaker,. is through
selected books on the subject which

little to say about canning, but on
preserving, especially on jelly max

hand, put the emphasis strongly on

Backed up by Campbell's Home
Book Of Nursing, the home woman
is ready to meet either emergencies
or the long strains of illness and
convalescence, especially when doc
tors and trained nurses are not
available.
Two standbys on rational dietaries
from the preventative point of view
for keeping folks we'll and healthy,
rather than combating abnormal
conditions, are Roses Feeding the
Family and Holt on The Care and
Feeding Of Children. Rudder and
compass, these, for sailing dietetic
seas in safety, and any one can read
and use them.
How to Get Good Service
Domestic service is the knottiest
problem that faces the housekeeper
of to-day. But if all women knew
what not to expect of their servants,
as we'll as exactly what they should
do, some difficulties would be obvi-
ated. The set of six books by Caro-
line Reed Wadhams comes to the
rescue right here, with detailed
directions for nurse and chamber
maid, butler and waitress, cook and
laundress.
The book on Table Service by
Allen is to the hostess who would

that garden books hold you like

lected the most practical ones for
gardeners Of all sizes and. sorts.
The Book Of the Home Garden is
a good amateurs guide for the
vegetable and flower garden. 1t is
concise and so clearly written that
a child would enjoy it. Beginning
with the preparation Of soils, one is
told what to do up to the proper
way to pick the crop.
In The Small Place, Rehmann dis
cusses the landscape possibilities Of
small estates, both in the country
and city. Fifteen different types
are treated to illustrate the funda-
mentals which underlie the planning
and planting of such places. The
book is illustrated with considerable
care and is sufficiently simple in
character to be used by the unin-
itiated, though it applies to the more
pretentious garden.
The Well Considered Garden, by
Mrs. King, sets forth many Of her
fowery enthusiasms which, how
ever, are based on wide experience.
The book covers thoroughly the de-
tails of flower gardening rather
than principles of landscape design,
and suggests many delightful COM
binations of plants.
Garden Design in Theory and
Practice has a happy quality of
making theory clear and practical.
1t is difficult to state general prin-
ciples SO that they sound anything
but vague, but Miss Agar has here
laid down sound fundamentals of
good landscape design and followed
them up by enough illustrations and
material advice to make the plan
ming Of landscape work a possible
thing for the average reader.
Civics
Why civics in a housekeeper's
library? Because no woman can
get clean milk, a good ice supply,
proper garbage facilities and serv-
ice, keep an effective eye on retail
prices and practices, have her say in
regard to the public schools, unless
she is up on local politics.
Civics is merely Wholesale
