AN ECONOMICAL PICNIC BASKET.


 A properly fitted picnic basket is be- yond the reach of most purses. but there is no reason why a very good substitute cannot be made at home.
 Procure a small laundry basket about 20 inches long and 14 deep, and line it. including the lid-with suitable material so that 1t may be easily washed. Allow three or four inches extra all round the lid so that when it is shut there is a good piece to overlap and keep out rain and dust. Blanket-stitch the edges of this with some coarse cotton, so that it is neat and strong. Sew the lining into position win coarse needle and very fine twine. Now cut two strips. double the depth of the basket and two inches longer and wider. Double these over, shiny side out, and blanket-stitch the edges together. Pierce holes at the ends, quarter of an inch apart, and sew the two strips into the form of a cross; slip this into the basket and sew into position, thus form ing four oblong shaped compartments.
 One will contain paper plates, cups forks, spoons and a packet of paper nap kins. another two enamel tins for foods the third for 9. spirit lamp. kettle and a bottle of spirit, and the fourth should be devoted to tins for sugar and tea and a bottle for milk. A very thin tablecloth may be laid over the top of all. Don't fix straps on the inside of the lid for knives, etc, as it will take away from the elasticity of the basketwork when just one more thing" has to be crammed in

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE

THE HOUSEWIFE E
 A piece of fine wire pressed lightly down from each side on a bar Of soap will cut it neatly.
 Wet woolen cloth and pat gently to pick up broken glass on the floor. In this way,the smallest sllvers are gathered up without any trouble.
 Before the new linoleum is used rub linseed oil into it and then wipe dry This doubles the life of the floor covering.
 Homemade salad dressing will keep much longer, and not cake at the top, if kept in closed contaiRer. This holds in the moisture.
 If it is absolutely necessary that you have bottles in your medicine cabinet tha- contain poison you should plainly mark these Poison
 When the children are breaking in new shoes If the mother would put piece of court plaster on their bare heels it would save many a blister.
 Run the tine of fork into the rota- toes before baking them and they will not burst open while in the oven. The high cost of living will come down when housewives learn to use the fore quarter meats. whicn gre loss expensive than the rib cuts, is :he contention of domestic experts.
 When there is mo upstairs connection to the cellar light, you will make it easier to enter the cellar at night by run l ming cord from the switch chain to 1 the head of the stairs. The refrigerator should be cleaned out and given an airing once week. For ef- fective airing, the ice box should be al lowed to stand open and empty over night with the kitchen window open. Dish rags should never be kept wei l when not in use. They should be wished out after using and hung up to dry Otherwise they become fatty and sponsy They should be changed often.

LEATHER STRAPS

Luggage straps that have been stored away during the winter are sometimes found to be hard when they are taken out for use. Loose straps should he soaked for two hours in not soapy wa ter. The straps should then be hung outdoors to dry, well rubbed with linseed oil and polished with brown boot polish. The leather will then be pliable and leol6 like new. Straps that are attached to trunks cannot be soaked. Then can, how CT be rubbed over with soft soap, the oil dressing being applied afterward \ fin- al polish may be given.

GAY FARR1cs ARE usEp.

The day of the untrirnmed black crepe de chine dress is past. All spring cos tunes are remarkable for their embroid- cry, or because they are combined with gay contrasting fabrics. A special men ton should be made of the emphasis placed on metal embroidery whether in steel or copper color.
 This year dressmakers are showing more elaborate afternoon dresses in crepe de chine, georgette and lace. The reason prhaps that Amricans have not been more interested in this type of clothes is that they pass the hours be- tween and ' in very different sur roundings.

HAT TRIMMINGS.

Wool embroidery continues to be the vogue. A black hat of rather large brim was decorated with life-size parrot in gay colors. 1t was embtoFkred on the left side Of the crown to partly decorate both crown and brim.
 Just simple tassels are seen on many sports hate. A tasseI of white wool is allowed to fal off tfa> eft side of the brim of a bright red or green straw. White wool grapes decorate silk or straw hats of the flat blousy tam style.

A HANDY BASKET

A small basket with tail handle over which a scrubbing cloth can be hung to dry may contain a can of securing powder and brush for cleaning the bathtub. A small bottle of kerosene may be added by those who have tried this easy and sanitary cleanser. Kerosene cleans like magic without hard rubbing, and quickly evaporates. In most bath rooms there Is a little corner where such a basket can be set on the floor, and it will be found a real convenience for all concerned.-Good Housekeeping.

IuNcHEnN SET.

A set made of cretonne will save much washing of plain linen ones.
 Buy a cretonne of suitable pattern, paying attention to it's washing qualities.
 The easiest way is to have round centerpiece and oval individuals of the same long diameter as the center. This gives room for glasses and bread and butter plate. The round table is almost completely covered by the center and four place doilies.
 Choose a harmonizing shade of plain chambrey of nice quality to give finish Build all around with pieces cut in true bias being careful to cast on.
 Hem down on wrong side, making the finish free from visible stitching Small spots are not visible in the figured ma terial, making it's use an economy oi labor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
rhe Bettere way.

MT. Editor :-H it is decided to have a special election to settle the daylight saving question, why couldn't the vote be taken when the city election is held in June, and a special election held in outside districts on same day?
 The better way however. it seems to me would be to give daylight saving a fairtrial this summer, and put the oucs- tion on voting machines when we. have our election in the fall, and thus decide the question for next year without ex- citement or unnecessary expense to the town or city.
