Women Have Not Tired of the Trick of Wearing Matching Gloves
and Handbags Hats Scar Bandeaux Corsage Flowers

In high vogue. with the increase
in prices OF imported gloves that
is coming because OF the new tar
if, these sets will doubtless soar
to still higher price.
AS the cold weather comes there
will be sets of neckpieces and hat
of fur. There are girdles and
hatbands to match. Doubtless
some clever shop will put out
handkerchief sets TO match-small
handkerchiefs to match the lovely
big ones that people are using for
blouses and scarfs hat trimming.

Your Hands
- In Winter

vTVHE greatest cause of chapped
hands in winter is strong
= soap. Soap may be excellent
for washing dishes, and not too
strong for clothes if properly used,
may be ruinous to hands. The
fact is that a soap selected merely
because it is good for household
cleaning is never kind TO hands.
and a soap mild enough for hands
is not strong enough for all kinds
of Homework. You must strike a
compromise somewhere along the
line.

T1HE stock complaint of the
\ housewife is that her work is
- never done, and she likes 20
quote those lines that begin: "A
mans work is from sun to sun.
No one apparently disputes the
fact that there is satisfaction in
having work that comes within
certain hours, and certainly the
sense Of "done-ness" that comes
from having closed shop" at five
or six or seven in the evening is
sweet.
But many women complain
about never being through with
housework with out definitely
hours. Often the incentive Of
having some social engagement to
keep teaches you how to get
through your homework in short
order. The woman who taught
school before she was married and
occasionally substitutes in the pub
lie schools for the sake Of pin
money finds herself hurrying
around in the morning with a dust
mop and dish cloth many ounces
lighter than those she uses or
binary days. After all the or
binary duties Of homework are
capable of much compression if
you only are fired with something
like enthusiasm to be through with
them soon.
OF course when there are young
children the mothers possible
working day stretches through the
twenty-four hours. But if she has
no nurse TO assist her she usually
finds that her husband, whose
work is supposed to be of the 'sun
to sun" sort, helps bear the night
time responsibility when children
are i'll or restless

Planned Squash

Planned squash IS worth trying.
To make it boil squash. cut into
squares about three inches across,
lot twenty minutes. Drain these
thoroughly and put a layer in the
bottom Of a baking dish. Sprinkle
the layer with sugar and dots OF
butter. Put in another layer OF
squash. and more butter and sugar
and fill the dish with alternate
layers OF squash and seasoning.
Pour half a cupfuI Of warm water
over the whole and cover the dish
securely. a casserole is a salts
factory dish to use. Cook the
squash in a moderate oven for an
hour. When it is done the squash
should be almost transparent and
very tender.

Light and Air Needed

There really are more important
things to think of than the view
from the kitchen window. 1t is
good plan to have plenty of light
in your kitchen and If possible to
have direct sunlight at some part
of the day. There should be
windows on two sides of the house
if possible, so as to secure a cross
circulation of air. This is where
the house-dweller has an adVan-
tage over the fiat dweller.
The large kitchen has been dis
carded by wise house planners. 1t
has been discovered that a large
central space in a kitchen amounts
to nothing in the world buta step
consumer. The oblong kitchen
with sink, stove. shelves and work
ing table placed at convenient
spaces along the sides has been
proved to be the most convenient,
because then the distance across
the kitchen from these various
centers of kitchen activity is re-
duced to a minimum.
In the small kitchen there is
need for many shelves and cup
boards. and experience has taught
that il is just as appropriate to
have these placed along the walls
of the kitchen itself as along the
walls of a pantry or cupboard off
the kitchen. In placing these
shelves il must be borne in mind
that the articles to be used fire.
quently must be places nearer to
hand. white space on very high
shelves may be used for dishes and
equipment used less frequently.

&c Sure IL IS Convenient

Don't imagine that just because
your kitchen is small it will be
convenient and compact or that
because II is large ii will provide
more space for all kitchen activ-
tiles. No room in the entire house
needs such careful planning. Be
fore you place your kitchen equip
ment. before you o. X. the ar
chitect's or builders plans for
your new house, cogitate we'll over
the kitchen. Imagine yourself on
a busy day, trace your steps from
sink 10 stove TO work table in pre-
pairing a meal, imagine the course
you would take in cleaning up a
meal. Picture the coming OF the
grocery delivery boy. After all
YOU can take no one else's ideas OF
convenience for your own. Every
household presents a slightly diff
ferent problem. Take the best
that others suggest in this matter
of kitchen planning and then graft
. on It the best of your own.

Like Eggplant

Squash can be cooked somewhat
in the manner Of eggplant. Slice
it in slices half an inch thick and
cut each slice in four pieces. Par
boil them gently until they are
slightly softened. Then dip each
piece in beaten eggs and fine
cracked crumbs and fry brown in

Planning the
=. Kitchen
What the Modern Housekeepcr
Demands

YOUNG housewife said the
a other day that all she cared
{ y about in planning her
kitchen was to have a pleasant
view from the window over her
kitchen sink. The new house she
planned, therefore, had a sink win
dow looking off toward the open
fields with a splendid view of the
luxurious elm tree. And the
young housewife was satisfied.

initials or monogram for deco
rative purposes. The letters OF
the alphabet have a distinct deco
rative value, and IL Is clever OF the
dressmakers to have seized on IL.
The monogram or else the initials
are embroidered on hats and
scarfs, just as they are on blouses
and handbags. Sometimes they arc
painted, for there is n great vogue
for painted bits of flnery-gloyes
with painted cuffs, ndbggs with
painted decoration and then these
painted initials on suede scarfs
and hats.
As for the glove and bag sets,
these came over from France last
summer, but they proved 80 at
trectlve that they have persisted.
Another thing that perhaps kept
them In exclusive fashion was their
rather high price. The fashion
could not be run into the ground.
