SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE

THE HOUSEWIFE If a roast is pasted many times it will be much more juicy.
 CauIihower is delicious served with mayonaise dressing.
 It improves some canned corn to cook it bit before serving.
 Give the chickens plenty Of green food
 All household plants are the better for occasional spraying.
 A special cupboard for hanging sauce pans is a great dust saver. Spinach with carrot balls is ah attrac- tive and wholesome mixture.
 A well waxed floor Is guarded against the marks of heavy shoes.
 Dried lima beans forced through a sieve can be used for croquettes.
 A bit of thyme added to the filling for a fowl will give a good flavor.
 An electric iron outfit in the sewing room is a great convenience.
 Even a spoonful of cereal is worth saving to thicken soup, gravy or sauce, A knife that has been used to cut an onion should be wiped on a damp cloth and then rubbed briskly with coarse salt.
 Eggs should be kept away from strong oders, as they absorb them quickly.
 Halibut turtOns are attractive Cut pieces of halibut the size of a napkin ring. Dip into seasoned melted butter dredge with flour and bake in we'll greas ed pan. Fasten rings with woodef skewers and garnish with parsley.
 To make a good cement for broker china dissolve a little gum arabic 1T water and put enough plaster of Paril and thoroughly dry the china, put i together with the paste and let stand until solid.

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME
HOW slc ls A noUsE7

 By Dorothy Garfield Fisher. Author of Understood Betsy, The Brimming Cup.
 The lecturer vas describing and advocating modern. humane and in telligent methods of dealing with young children. As he paused for an instant. a grim-faced woman rose up. ''Wll you answer me one plain question: she challenged him. This shilly-, shallying with children is all right at times, but there are times when noth- ing but good spanking will do. What do you do when a child stamps his foot and says I won't do iti' |"
 The lecturer waited. The questioner added nothing to her question.
 Do you call that plain question? ?r he asked in an incredulous tone, as though he could not believe his ears.
 T certainly dc" she said with satis- faction.
 Well. Madame" said the lecturer, T will answer that plain question if you will answer one of mine. How big is a house?'
 The woman stared. That's not a plain question. What sort of house?'
 "Ahai" said the lecturer. You can't answer me till I have told you what sort of a house? Well. I can't an- swer you till you tell we what sort of a child"
 T don't see what that's got to do with it." said the woman, but some what taken aback.
 ''Well, here's a case. A little child | of three, very nervous, sensitive. re- gently over an illness. has been on a | long, hot railway journey. At the end, exhausted from lack of sleep. excited ! to the point of distraction by the noise, and a thousand fears he cannot ex- plain, with a beginning of stomach | trouble form the irregular meals, he is told by someone who does not un- derstand little children to carry satchel much too heavy for him. Per | haps you would expect a three-year | old to say, under such circumstances. I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling very well and it is really quite beyond my strength But l don't blame him a bit for stamping his foot and scream ing. And certainly he does not de- serve the same treatment as a loutish
 boy of fourteen who refuses to obey a reasonable request And yet you | expect some answer that will be the same for both those cases" Every child is different from every
 other child, and only his mother is in
 a position to know how to take him. l All sets of circumstances are different ; from al others and only those who } know all about the case have any chance of guessing what is the right
 thing to do. You must do that mos' ? difficult of all thing. think. and think s hard. before you know what is the
 right thing to do. But before you be. g gin to think. just remember that if q g child stamps his foot and says 'a @ won't" 10 you it is because you hay, % brought him up wrong. When yol see a dog that habitually snarls ant n shows his teeth, you do not say "Wha d a disagreeahle nature that dog has. Y You say, Heavens, what a bruta s master the poor creature must hav Q had"

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Fewer off-the-face hats are noted and more shapes with cut-away or short-baek brims and wide sides.
 gire chiffon is seen at fashionable gath erings and entire dresses are made of it.
 The soft furs continue to be widely used for trimming the summer wraps so essential to the costume of the well dressed woman.
 A vivid cerise n1eire silk evening gown on straight lines had a carnisole top, one shoulder strap being of dull purple grapes A cluster of grapes was intre- duced at the side.
 Many full skirted taffeta dance frocks have been seen this week. with semi fitted plain bodices. Sometimes the skirts open over a lace or spangled petticoat.
 The run of late on sports hats of vari- ous purple hues is held by fashion au- thorities to be due to the fact that much of the seasons sports clothing of tweeds, homespuns and other rough weaves has distinct tinges of purple, even though those shades may not stand out promi- nently at first glance.

THE WORK oF CONGRESS.

Strenuous and determined have been he efforts to create the impression that .he president and congress were on the puts, that friction was seriously i'm, pending the handling of Important measures and that congress was falling flown on its job. The political purpose back of such attacks are not difficult to see.
 Thus 1t Is only what might be ex- Qected when House Leader Mondel is sues a statement in a review of the accomplishments of congress whereby he declares that "its record for efici- sncy and for well planned despatch of business has never been excelIed.'
 Notwithstanding those who have been trying 10 create that impression con gress has not been drawdlng. It was called in extraordinary session to deal with tariff and revenue legislation, Those are big and important subjects It is impossible to push them through without careful consideration in view oi what is involved. But while the ore liminsry hearings have been underwa, congress has been disposing of mucf important business. not little of which
 
 ing congress. When consideration i! given to the fact that such matters a, The emergency tarifT and anti dumpins hill, the budget bill. the immigration bill, the measure consolidating soldier relief agencies, the peace resolution The army and navy bills in which a say Ing of over s10o,0O0,oO was effected besides other legislation that is on tn way it must be evident that congres has neither been loafing nor in revolt When the many details of 1t are con sidered those who have any idea at al pf the work involved in producing tariff measure can realize as the heus leader says, that the job is a tremend ous one. The presentation of the tari pill in the house is up to schedule an lt is to be followed by measure fo rssdjustment of federal taxation. Spec hat is sane and sensible, progress ths shows promptness and efficiency al preferable to the hustle that mear waste and poor results and it Is sue speed and progress that congress has right to lay claim to.

and as the New York state secretary says by taking a broad and practical view and abiding by the requirements of their sister states
 It is not to be supposed that one state is going to impose regulations for it's own citizens and disregard them for others, but the policy of giving con- sideration to the fact that those of oth- CT states are at least entitled to warn- ing instead of arrest when they con- tinue to follow the requirements of their own states instead of those about which they know nothing. Their viola ton is plainly not intentional in the great majority of the cases any more than 1t is where drivers of one city happen to make wrong turn in a strange city. Under such circurn- stances the exercise of reason ought td be expected.

Summer Housekeeping

Whether one is furnishing a kitchen in summer cottage to rent or for one self or only filling in chinks in an all ready furnished kitchen, it is well to bear in mind that summer is the time w1ich tries the patience and the temper of the cook No stove that was ever made can be anything but hot if it is to do any cooking, and no kitchen uten- sils can be otherwise than trying when the mercury goes up to 99, but there are may degrees of difference and of comparative comfort to be obtained by the careful selection of housewives help CTS Fresh saucepans will save much trouble and cleaning If near the water do not forget to include an oblong ket- tie which will boil the fish whole.

NEEp1EwoRk NOTES

Snap dress shields instead of sewing them in. Place snap on each end of the shield and one in the middle. It keeps them where they belong.
 If when crocheting your forefnger be- comes sore, cut finger from an old kid glove. This enables you to have free use of the finger and yet protects it.
 When threading your needle, hold it over a black surface when using white thread and over white surface when using black thread.
 In stitching on pockets. begin at the middle, at the bottom of the pocket, and stitch up to the top on one side, then turn and stitch down again and repeat from the other side. This prevents the pockets from ripping at the top.
 Packet openings will not tear if a hook and eye are sewed to the bottom Fasten them down fiat with a pair of pliers.

PAINTED FLOORS

Painted floors, while not so difficult to finish as stained and varnlshed hard wood floors, are not serviceable, and, in fact. are suitable only for bedroom floors. In painting a floor all knots should first be well shellacked, cracks filled and the whfole made as smooth as possible. Two coats of good floor paint may be left as finished or followed by coat of var nish according to the effect desired Wat CT must not be used on a painted floor, as it opens the pores of the wood. re- moves finish and permits the wood to absorb dust and dirt more esily.

LOWER FUEL COSTS.

To cook and to have no heat until the cooking begins and to have all heat cease when the cooking is done is real com fort. Where gas cannot be obtained, oil stoves are in great and increasing de- mand. Neither fuel is cheap, but if used with care and forethought the conven- fence more than offsets the price One method of economy in the use of either gas or oil is to cook as many things at time as possible
 A set of three triangular shaped sauce pans which fit together under one cover may be bought In this way three vege- tables can be cooked by the gas or oil which would cook only one w. she or dinary saucepan used. A squat-shaped enameled-ware tea kettle is another economy on a gas or oil range.

Care of Butter

Butter absorbs odors readily and for that reason you should\ take special care of it after it comes into the kitchen. It wives that it should be kept in it's orig inal container even after it is opened and you have begun to use it. Even oil pa per once it is opened may import some flavor to the butter or the paper may absorb moisture or odors which in turn will taint the butter.
 The best plan is to have glass re- eeptaele of the sort made especially for one pound of print butter. This con sists of a straight, fiat bottom section, with a top that fits down.
 Butter should be aken from it's papers at once and placed in this jar and then placed in the refrigerator. When you want butter for any meal you should cut it with sharp silver knife. IT the butter is hard and crumbly you may make better job of cutting it if you dip the knife in boiling water.

Flowers Decorate

No table is complete without flowers, be it the breakfast. luncheon, tea or dinner table. Even field flowers gath cred from the roadside are acceptable if they are nicely arranged.
 Violets mingled with their own green leaves, arbutus in fiat disaes, spreading bouquets of dogwood, mountain laurel and wild azalea, daisies, red and pink clover, buttercups, goldenrod and saters as the seasons change there are lovely flowers for the table to be had for the picking from spring to fall.

Summer ParasoIs

Never have sunshades been so ornate
 One of a bright rose hue which is on display for summer wear, was made of shirred silk, the shirrihg being held in place where the silk is attached to the rib. Another had an overdrape much as the skirts are draped Many of the new parasols are shown in the new ja.e green, which promises to be used much this summer, welcome note, since green always appears cool and refreshing.

HAKMoNfz1NG SKIRT AND BLOUSE.

In some ways, the connection between
 separate skirts and blouses is closer than
 the relationship between suits and blouses. In the latter, little more than harmony or contrast in color is desirable with perhaps some thought as to the av- craze length. But in the relationship be- tween the separate skirt and blouse the problems of modelling require the most careful consideration. There should be a
 very careful consideration not only of the different silhouettes of each garment, but of the combined siIhouettes. The success of blouse may depend upon the ability of a buyer to get a skirt in harmony both l in line and color.
