Looking Forward
to Winter

time of the year making prepara-
tons for the storms and snow that
are sure TO come. Putting up
stoves Is almost as arduous task
as taking them down in the spring
Houses have TO be boarded up, and
though this does not fall 10 the
housewife, she has to be persistent
in reminding the men OF the house
10 see TO il or they sometimes put
it off until too late.
The Country Woman's Task
Then, against the long, cherries
winters. the country woman must
reinforce herself with pots of
geraniums, ferns and other plants.
Usually these plants have spent
the summer outdoors. They need
various sorts OF attention, trans
planting and trimming. before
they can be brought into the house.
and window boxes and window
brackets have 10 got into condi-
ton TO receive them. You can
think of a dozen different tasks
that the country woman has TO at
tend to at this time OF the year,
IL you have ever spent any time in
the country IN the autumn.
The city dweller really thinks
too little about preparing herself
for winter. She telephones for Sc
many tons of coal, If she lives in q
private house, or trusts to the iani

in apartments. But coal Is high
and much can be done by keeping
out cold. True, we do not wan

air will chill their overheateS

Keep Out the Cold
I. We can afford TO overlook tn,
keyhole, but there are sometime
cracks beneath our outside door
that need weather strips. A car
pepter will attach these for you a
not very great expense, or yol
may buy them and attach them 70
yourself. Storm windows are ex
pensive. but there Is no doubt bu
that they keep out much cold 4

the trimming on. Then every
thing will be all right"
But those were other days.

Washing Comfortcrs

II you are going to wash COM
forters you should take the pains
first to run long stitches through
them To do this lay the COM
Portable on large table and with
a long needle and coarse thread
run stitches six or eight inches
long back and forth till the cotton
or wool in the comforter Is caught
at regular intervals. This with the
regular tying or quilting ought to
hold the filling pretty secure.
1t may BIO better In thin quilt
that gets a good deal Of wear to
run 1t through the sewing ma
chine with a long loose-stitch ad-
justment. This need not be taken
out. and will facilitate future
washings. or course, where you
put in loose. long stitches by hand
they should be removed as soon as
the comforter Is dry.
