HOME ECONOMICS.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.
Saving to Spend.

A woman who really uses her past
experience to guide her actions turns
her back upon the past, looks ahead.
and is ready to grasp opportunity and
use it when it comes her way, as ii
comes everybody's way sooner or
later. The Greeks imagined Oppo.
tunity as a very old man with long
beard and absolutely bald. easy to
seize as he approaches, but impossible
to get hold of once he had passed by.
In no field of human experience is
this more true than in that of saving
money, and having it to use when the
moment comes. Every woman knows
well the thought. "Oh, if I had sense
enough to have the money on hand
to take advantage of the chance.
and lives up to it. Next time I'll have
the money" She prepares herself for
her opportunity by saving little
here and there. and putting it into
separate fund from her rainy day and
old age savings. This is her saving
to spend at the right moment. So,
when she has to buy some consider
able item, she can go where she likes.
she can buy when she likes. and not
be obliged to buy because she needs
the thing and needs if now. and must
buy where she has a charge account.
1t is not easy to save that we may
buy intelligently: but it is. just the
difference between walking forward
into life. ready to seize Opportunity.
and walking backward. missing him
every time he passes us.
The satisfaction of being able to
buy on our own terms, to pay cash,
to have the advantage Of forethought
instead Of the dead weight of hind
sight as the ruling factor of our
economic existence. is hardly measur-
able. It is the real definition OF sue

Something a Little Unusual.

The list of meats available to US
Is limited, and limited to smaller
variety than the list Of fruits or
vegetables or desserts. In these days
when many use only one meat dish
day the trouble is not so serious.
Where meat is served for luncheon
and fish, an entree' containing some
sort of meat and a roast are served
for dinner the difficulty is greater:
Here are some recipes for unusual
meat dishes that will swell the list
of meat dishes in Your cookbook.
Boned Leg of Mutton.
Bone the leg of mutton, keeping 1t
as whole as possible. Remove most
of the fat. Fill the cavity, made by
removing the bone, with forcemeat;
sew up the opening, bind the meat
as compactly as possible, and bake
for three hours in a hot oven; re-
move the tape and send to the table
with a good gravy. coating or
glaze will add to the appearance of
this dish
stuffed Loin of Veal.
Stuffed loh bS of veal bardv Is be dis

the bones have been removed, on a
Toured board. Cover with force
meat. Roll up neatly. tie at intervals

and roast in a well-heated oven, bast-
ing it frequently. On taking the
meat from the oven let it cool and
remove the tape.
Spieed Beef. ...
Chop together two pounds raw
beef and piece of suet of the size
of an egg. Season with pepper, salt
and little summer savory. Add
two eggs, half a pint of bread
crumbs, four or five tablespoons
cream and small piece of butter.
Mix and work in a roll, with enough
flour to keep together and bake in
pan. like roast beef. Slice when cold.
Roast Stuffed TendeFlOins.
Split two pork tenderloins ana cut
the ends square SO that they are the
same size. Make savory dressing
and add to it the chopped meat ends.
Stuff the tenderloins, tie firmly, or
skewer- together. While they roast
baste them with little melted but
ter which has salt, pepper, . spoon
OF powdered sugar and four cloves
in it. When the tenderloins are done
place them on platter and make
sauce of the dish gravy by straining
and adding to it cup of sweet milk
thickened with little butter, and
flour mixed to paste. Serve In q
hot gravy boat and garnish the ten
derloins with cress and olive rings.
Pare and boil the crones until ten:

way. The asparagus au gratin may
be cooked and served in ramekins-

Dreamy Eyelashes.

Two weeks ago I was talking about
cultivating the eyelashes and gave
formula for very fatteni.g tonic.
also said that the eyelashes should be
clipped back frequently, say, half a
dozen times over a period of eight
months. Meantime this eyelash tonic
should be used. Then after eight
months the eyelashes might be al
lowed to grow and the tonic contin-
ued as usual In year from the time
you started training your eyelashes
you will have your reward The
lashes will be thicker. will be longer
and in some cases will be a healthier
color.
If you do not Eish to bother having
the eyelash tonic made up use olive
oil, or castor oil, or even. almond OIL
These are all vegetable oils and they
are absorbed by the skin, therefore
are nouriShing.
The olive oil should be Of the very
best quality, or it will not be so ef-
fective. Castor oil will probably dark
en- the shade of the eyelashes little.
Almond oil is the least effective of the
three.
Long lashes will make the most un-
interesting eye beautiful. The dreamy
expression which seems to be so COW
eted by all the younger generation
will be an attribute of the most va
cant eye if it is shadowed by long

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY ELSIE ROBINSON.

A man has recently entered a plea
to tho court that his divorced wife
shall pay him Ealimony. And you
would think the solar system had
burnt out a fuse. there's such a
clamor. But why shouldn't she? Why
isn't 1t just as fitting for a wife to
pay a husband alimony as for u hus-
band to pay a wife?
When two young people marry, the
assumption Is that they are doing so
in full possession of their faculties
The girl knows what she is doing
as well as the man. In fact, she
usually knows much better what she
Is doing. The man has just as many
dreams and illusions involved as she
he is just as sensitive, just as
tender. He is making just as big
change in his life's program as she
Is in hers, and if things go smash his
plans will be equally wrecked. Since
this is so. why isn't he just as much
entitled to damages as she If they
are wrecked2 If you're going to put
the thing on a commercial basis at
all. isn't his bleeding heart worth as
much as hers?

You've probably heard of this

used it? Thousands of families, the
world over, feel that they could
hardly keep house without it. It's
simple and cheap, but the way it
takes hold of a cough will soon earn
it a permanent place in your home.
Into a pint bottle pour ~. ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or.
if desired, use clarified molasses.

sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes
good, never spoils, and gives you a
full pint of better cough remedy
than you could buy ready=made for
three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers Il
cOugh-usualiy in "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every

the membranes. and gives almost
immediate relief. Splendid for

Pinex is shighly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine

The Girl From Upstairs.

sheltered motley crew, shabby
couples who ate. slept and cooked in
one room. and wan-looking bachelors
who slowed themselves in hall bed

crammed with milk bottles and paper

But Susan Sue could not keep guard

a couple extra bottles. Aren't you

Merriam was quite unaware that
there was milk strike, and she
didn't understand just why she should
get excited about having two bottles
of milk thrust upon her.
She had been dreaming over her
sewing by a glowing coal fire. In her
lovely f1imsy neglige of orchid and
green with a scrap of lace tied around
her refractory bronze curls. Merriam
looked like the daughter of leisure
that her father had loved her to be.
The shabby trousseau remnants look
ed wonderful, indeed. to girl whose

Things for Boys
to Make
Swinging Bungalow for Birds.

Material needed: Wooden box, pine
boards and rope or chain.
By using a box, lined with heavy
wrapping paper and mailing uprights
to ends to support the roof, very
comfortable and attractive birdhouses
may be made. But to add cross
pieces at ends, as shown in sketch,
and hang bungalow from a tree
branch with rope makes something
little unusual. The house then
has protection of the tree foliage
from heavy transforms, and the sway
ing motion caused by breezes should
please the birds. Wind ropes twice
around limb to prevent slipping. The
house should be put but a short dis
tance below limb. Any birdhouse
may be mounted in the same manner.

is also preposterous. silly and unfair
for wife to collect alimony from a
husband. If she be old or sick, pro
vision should be made for her-but
there be minor children provision

majority. unless they are supporting
themselves. But there is no reason
why man should pay alimony to

Nor it is any more tragic for her to
be forced to support herself than for
an unmarried girl to support herself

to do it within matrimony, let her
do it without. Which is exactly what

there was food enough. such as 1t

We're slippery, but they kept moving

So night came on, but they couldn't

they must starve to death. Morning

Blue hyacfnths are ono of the flow-
ers on which fashion looks with favor
at the moment. Sometimes they are
placed in violet enameled baskets.

So, II you would have one of the

Glass Bowls.
Fruit is still considered a good
table decoration. and it is always ef-
fective: One idea is to use an an
tlque fruit set consisting of big
fruit bowl for the center, and four
smaller dishes, compotes BY name. to
stand at the four corners Of the table
or grouped around the center bowl
The big bowl holds pile of fruit.
and the little dishes hold each a little
fruit. For instance, the big bowl
might hold tanserines pears, black
bananas and red. green and yellow
apples. One little dish then might
hold a perfect bunch Of red grapes

perfect bunch of black grapes and a

Then there are glass fruit dishes,

sets with big dish for the center.
and smaller dishes to. surround It,
with either fruit or candies in them.
Or there is a big center fruit dish.
and candlesticks to match it, in the

- Artlielal Fruit.
For these fruit centerpieces there
is artificial fruit, which many women
made so beautifully that It Is quite as
attractive as the real sort. And it
has, of course, the advantage that it
never grows stale. Real fruit must be

charming nevertheless. They have
