Don't Take Too Much

Remember. in packing, that It is
no longer considered fashionable
or good form for children to be
dressed in their best very often at
mountain or sc as resort.
Usually at such places children are
dressed very much the same on
Sundays as on other days. At
some places there simply are no
occasions for dressing up. So the
only things that you need think of
taking are good, comfortable, sub
stantial sport clothes. Be sure,
too. to make allowances for a diff
ference of climate. There are
days at the Seashore or mountain
when long stockings would feel
very acceptable as substitutes for
short socks.
Try and have the beneficial re-
suits of your outing show them
selves as soon as possible. We
have come to feel that children are
usually upset or out of sorts for
a day or two after any change.
However this really need not ne
if the trip is made so that they
do not lose any of their accus-
toned sleep and so that their diet
is not much altered.

salt shakers is due to the ex-
tremely damp climate in some Sec
tons Of England.
Whatever your customary salt

cial effort to keep salt dry and in
good condition during August

time Of year. II you buy table

with a very little other substance

Then whether you use shakers
or open dishes, look them over.
and refill at least once d day. It
is a good plan 10 have one or two
open dishes for salt even though
you usually use the shaker sort.
Then if the salt does become caked
you need not have to hesitate 70
clean out the shaker but can use
/ the salt dish instead.

Salt in August

-HE worst month in the whole
year for salt is usually
. August. There is usually
dampness and with windows
opened as they are not in winter.
when dampness also is prevalent,
the dampness floats in seemingly
bent on finding the nearest salt
shaker. Then il there is a change
OF air, and dry weather follows
damp, the salt becomes as hard rs
bricks and might be anywhere but
in the salt shaker for all the good
it does you.
There is something that may be
said in favor of salt shakers and
something for open salt dishes.
The open dishes make it easier to
get at the salt and the shakers
keep the salt free from dust. When
open dishes are used you feel that
they must be refilled or evened of
for each meal, whereas the shakers
need not be attended to until they
are nearly empty. In England salt
shakers are very seldom used, al
though pepper shakers are OF
course customary. Possibly the

1t is far better to underfeed a
child on a trip than TO overfeed
him. To he sure the child should
not be allowed TO become faint
with hunger by going beyond ac-
customed meal hours. But do not
take sweet crackers and fruit 10 be
eaten between meals-much less
candy. Fruit is all very we'll in
itself, but fruit carried on the
train is apt to become hot and
stale and only takes away from
the appetite for regular meals.
Change of air and water is very
often blamed for disorders that are
caused by nothing in the world
but nibbling on crackers and candy
on the train.
Care should be taken that chill
dren away on an outing do not
depart from their usual bed time.
OF course there are evening at
fractions. and the children may
beg to be allowed to remain VI
later than usual. But the mother
who is firm in requiring her chill
dren to go to bed at their regular
hour will reap the benefit in
sweeter tempered, h { b i e
children.

II Is true that you can expand
into garden house in such a way
as to make the house you live In
roomier.
For one thing, you can have a
garden playhouse which will an

playthings and the children them
selves. Of course there may be
g couple' of chilly days when the
garden playhouse will be too cool
for comfort. But for most weather
IL will serve its purpose we'll. Or
you can have a tea house in the
garden. which will be useful for
the entertaining Of summer callers
and guests and.'if you wish. will
make II unnecessary to keep the
family living room in order always
for the reception OF outsiders.
Another thing: you can have a
little house in the garden so fitted
mp that IL makes a delightful place
for hot-weather sleeping and an
swers the purposes Of a sleeping
porch
These. and many other uses
will suggest themselves for thu
little house in the garden.

To Leave Or
Not To Leave

ZONE housewives regard as one
OF the seven deadly sins the
~ habit of leaving dishes over
from tonight's dinner to be washed
tomorrow morning. OF course it
Is q bad habit TO allow maids TO
do this. Presumably you give
them time enough off at some
other part of the day and after
moons off besides to make you feel
quite fair in expecting them TO get
the dishes all washed and put
away Immediately after dinner.
But when you are your own
maid IL is a different proposition.
IL you have been accustomed to
think that it is wrong aud a mat
ter Of bad housekeeping to leave
the dishes then when you do en-
Joy the luxury Of an evening after
dinner without the usual dish
washing you also feel guilty. And
that rather spoils the fun you are
having out Of not washing the
dishes.
Now there really are times and
occasions when II is wiser not 10
do the dinner dishes at night and
there are households where It. Is
wiser TO make a practice never to
do them until morning.
But never leave food around.
This attracts insects and OF course
any good food Is made unfit for
use IL IL has stood about in a warm
kitchen. II you are going TO leave
the dishes. make n practice OF get
ting as much done beforehand as
possible. Then put away food
scrape up the dishes just enough
so that garbage can be got rid 81
and then stack the dishes til
morning. Some persons have {
large cake box where they pu
them where they will be out o
the wsy and not attract flies On
good authority says that IL yor
must leave dishes. put them IN
dishpan filed full Of warm waite
and washing powder. II will be
very easy matter 20 wash them III
next morning OF course. the sill

overnight.

WithYour FireIess

XZOUR freless cooker may prove
very useful ia keeping n din
ner hot after il is dished up.
There Is enough heat in the radi-
ators II the dinner has been cooked
in the hreless to keep the food
hot for some time. The house
wife who receives word Just when
dinner is about TO be put on the
table that the man Of the house
will be a half hour late finds the
frelsss cooker her best friend
when she uses IL for this purpose.
II you have children who re-
quire a hot meal In the middle Of
the day and IL you have a car,
you will find the freless cooker an
excellent accompaniment for pic
MICS. Simply get the meal ready
aud put II in the fireless cooker,
then lift the cooker into the back
seat of your car and let it cook as
you go. You will find that for
autumn and winter excursions
these hot freless-cooker picnic
meals are TO be preferred TO the
cold sort that you put up in the
usual way.
The freless cooker is Of great
help 10 the bread maker. II you
put the bread dough in a dish that
may be set inside the large cook
ing utensil. and then fill this uten-
sill with water OF the required tenn
perature and place them both in
one of the wells OF the cooker with
the cover down you will hnd that
the bread will rise evenly and
quickly. This ID especially desir-
able in making rolls or buns
where it is desirable 10 have a
small amount Of dough rise in a
short time.
The hreless cooker is an excel
lent place TO put ice cream. II you
buy ice cream without packing OF
ice you will find that IL one OF the
wells Of the cooker is first chilled
you can keep the ice cream in II
for d. long time without melting.

Help If You
Need 1t

-HE woman who has found that
she could do her own work
= without a maid, possibly with
out a woman in for a day week,
is usually loath TO admit that she
needs any domestic help later.
Frankly she has become used to
spending her household money
without making allowance for pay
ing wages, and she begrudges the
expenditure. She has been able
TO have prettier clothes since she
did all her work.
Many women who did their own
during the war gave as their ex-
cuse that they actually could find
no one to employ. Moreover,
wakes were so high that help was
OFTEN prohibitive. Under present
conditions help is far more plenti-
full in most localities, and wages
are getting back TO normal. Fac
tory girls who scorned to work IN
a house two or three years ago
are many of them looking rather
enviously at their friends who are
sure OF shelter and three meals a
day and home environment, with
almost all the money they make tc
be regarded as clear gain. There
are students who a few years age
spent the summer months in Office:
or factories making excellent
wages because of the abnorma
labor situation who are now will
ing enough TO make their vacation
money as mothers helpers
And it may be that the yer!
best way you could spend some
of your household money would
be in paying wages TO an assist
ant. You have found that you cal
do it alone, but 1T may be tina
you are using reserve strength
that should not be spent. II ma.
be that you are giving less of you
time and personality to your chill
dren and your husband than i
their due. So think It over. Re
member reconstruction days hav
passed and It may be that in you
reconstructed household there 1
need OF a domestic assistant.

Apple Sauce

rs THERE anything better than
the apple sauce that we can
= now make from green apples?
II there is, what is it?
OF course, there are ways and
ways of making green-apple sauce.
One is good, and many are not.
The one that is always a good way
IS to put the apples over the IRE
with sufficient water TO keep them
from burning and TO cook them
covered. without stirring, until
they are tender. Then go TO work
with a rotary egg beaten and beat
the mixture, adding the sugar at
once, until it is light aud smooth
and. incidentally, delicious.
If the apples are. in spite of this
method, lumpy. then you can rub
the whole batch OF apple sauce
through a sieve, or a vegetable
press, and the result will again be
smooth.
There are lots of things to add
TO apple sauce TO make il inter
esting in flavor, although Just at
this season really nothing but
sugar is needed. Cinnamon or
ground nutmeg may be used, Of
course.
Later, when tasteless apples are
occasionally met with. you can add
a bit Of stick cinnamon and lemon
peel TO the apples when they go on
the stove. You can add lemon
or orange juice 10 the sauce when
you are beating it. You can add
raisins and chopped figs and dates
TO give an added zest and flavor.
Apple sauce, of a delicious tex
ture and flavor, is a sufficient des-
sert for luncheon at any time. It
is good for breakfast And at a
simple home dinner. served with
fresh gingerbread or with little
spice cakes, it is quite an adequate

Some of the Things to Think
About and Plan For.

1.-THE preparations for n holiday
with the children are apt to
be as painful and fun OF
anxiety for the mother as they are
sure to be delightful and fun OF
anticipation for the children. But
most mothers overdo in the mat
ter of preparation. They take too
many clothes, too many pairs OF
shoes, too many books to read and
too many toys to play with. They
are prone to forget that most sum
mer places are provided with some
sort of stores or shops where nee
essary accessories can be bought
1t is not necessary to take the pre-
cautions that one would take be-
fore a cruise in the arctic.
