Efficient Housekeeping
 By LAURA A. HERMAN.
Answered Letters.

ahShSEou ISGleTS. Business Girl: Gan you suggest some fancy article which I could make for a Church Fair? I want something that will be bought eagerly, yet which is not too hard to make" Answer. Why not typewrite 12 good recipes on cards 4x5 inches in size, punch hopes through these cards and put them together with plain, colored paper cover of some sort? A bit of gold or silver cord might be run through the holes, to hold them together and form a loop by which they could be hung on the kitchen wall. But be sure the recipes are tried and true"; I would advise you to collect thent from famous house. wives in your vicinity and advertise this fact on the sales table.
 = A Home Body: My neighbors are forming a small club for the pur- but we can't think of a good name for our little club. Can you suggest one 9"
 Answer: How about -'The Lend Hand Club? or "The Shortcut
 Mrs. J. M. H.: "P1ease tell me how one grows carnations, Cape Jas mine, Daisies and Geraniums."
 Answer: It is best to buy the young plants, rather than the seeds. plants from a florist in your vicinity, I can send you the name of a good saed-catalogue house who will sell them to you by mail send stamped formation). I can also tell you the name of a good book on the care of the various plants and the name of the publisher from whom you can purchase this book by mail, but I cannot print such information in the column, as that Is advertising.
 Mrs. J. C.. s.: Can you help me in regard to laundering my net cur tains? I wish to avoid the uneven ness which usually results from wash ing,'
 Answer: Many housekeepers today cannot afford curtain Stretchers, but thosa who cannot may resort to the following means of making their cur tainS dry evenly and without shrink age: Brush your net curtains well before attempting to wash them; shake all the dust you can out of them, or it will form a mud when the curtain is put in water. Next measure them and jot down their ex- act size. Then proceed to wash them. without soaking, in 1ukewarm suds made with a good white soap. Do the work quickly, not allowing time for them to soak and shrink. When you have put them through two suds-waters, rinse in clear cold water and stretch them out on a clean sheet spread on the floor.
 Now take your tape-measure and pull the curtains out to their original size (which you jotted down after measuring them, before washing); as you stretch the wet curtains to those exact measurements, stick pins along their edges to hold them to the sheet and carpet beneath. Open every window in the room and let dry in this way. If you put the pins near enough together, so as to keep the edge even, you will not have to press the curtains with an iron at all.
 All inquiries addressed to Miss Kirkman in care of the "Emcient HOuSekeeping'' department will be an- Swered in these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time, however, owing to the great number received. So if a personal or quick CT reply is desired, a stamped and self-addressed envelope must be en- closed with the questionable Esdi- tor.

A mongre1 of the best type is now being watched with interest ot the Empire theatre where he plays one of the principal roles in support of Breezy Eason, the kiddie star of '"The Big Adventure.'' The dog is Mickey" whose origin is obscure. In appearance he resembles French bull being pure white, but his eyes are those of a pit bull and his shape remotely suggests the Daschund-

With out being a so-called ''trick-dog," Mickey seemed to understand what was required of him and played his role with a natural appeal that will endear him to plaXgoers.

Health Talks

Disease, War, Famine, Death-The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
 THE MASTER SURGEON

We'll no getting war news was not precisely his trade In fact, he was a surgeon. this Ambrose Pare; and
 his real line was to repair the
 wounded and to treat the war in
 fectonS as well as he could. This . he did particularly neatly, for his time, which was a generation or so before Shakespeare. And for a side considerable observer, as all good doctors are by nature and training. And he had an amazing knack of writing down what he saw, in an ad- ] unvarnished tale. And if you don't believe what he wrote is gripping, just read, for instance, what happen : ed to Metz in 1852 when that town belonged to the French. (His auto biography translated, is tp be found ? in most lbraries.)
 Fares first job was to set the leg of the lieutenant of His Majesty's s Guards, which had been broken by a cannon ball. "I found him in bed, his leg all bent and crooked, without dressed it so skillfuIly that he was : without pain, and slept all the night, sand afterwards, thanks be to God, and is still living now. in the Kings service The Prince de la Roch- sur-Yon sent me cask of wine big lger than a pipe of Anjou. to my lodging, and told me when it was drunk he would send me another;
 ITsdI was now ne treated Hle dlhOSI generously"
 And that was indeed the way, in his day and generation,to treat a war
 correspondent, instead of cenSoring g , his stuff, or standing him up against a wall at daybreak and blazing aHay at him. '"The Emperor attacked the town with 40 double cannon and the powder was net spared by day or night. So soon as M. de Guise saw the artillery set and pointed to make a breach he had the nearest houses pulled own and made into ramparts, and the beams and joists were put
 end to end, and between them flag gots, earth, beds and wool-packs; then they put above them joists and beams as before. The wall having fallen our men cried out to those
 outside, Fox, fox, fox!' and they
 vented a thousand insults against one
 another. M. de Guise forbade any man on pain of death to speak with those outside. for fear there should
 be some traitor who would betray what was being done in the town. After this order. our men tied live cats to the end of their bikes, and put them over the walls, and cried out with the cats 'Miau miau.'
 '@The Marquis of Rrsndenbourg Ga forebear of our present day William ID was the last to budge from his place, to the great regret of M de Guise, who brought four pieces of ar tillery out of the town. which he fired on him this side and that, to hurry him off; and he went sure enough, and all his men with him."
