No Pie in All Eurone.

AS soon as the snow begins to

mind of the hungry American is
strawberry shortcake. For at least
two delightful months he revels in
it,
Then shortcake time gives way to
the salad period, from the first rad

crispy green things until in late
summer our beloved tomatoes are
finally eclipsed by that greater ia

American dish. this but in this land
of varied chimes these favorites all

But as we lose one good thing
'another is always ready to take its
place, and now when corn has gone
the way of shortcakes and salads in
comes pumpkin pie to fill the void.
I wonder if in any other coun-
try except Canada, perhaps they
have real honest to goodness pies.
Probably our English cousins, think
ing of their pork and mutton pas

wonder what we know about pies.

Convenient Nails

A long, smooth nail, say five
inches long, may be tackled up in
your kitchen, at the side of the
shelf. perhaps, and this serves as
a good place to keep ball of
twine that is so often needed in
every household.
A good long nail placed outside
Just below or at the side of your
bathroom window is a good place
to hang the brush used to clean
the bathroom plumbing.
Two nails placed at the back Of

from the back-help to keep the
platters from slipping forward on
the shelf.

Pick up Work

DID 1t ever occur 10 you that
IL IL your so-called pickup
work is too attractive 1t will
cease to be pickup work and will
become the absorbing interest OF
the day?
That is. If you have a sweater
in the making you may decide you
will leave it where you can do 1t
in leisure moments, when the
duties OF your house do not call
you. But you find the working
out Of the pattern SO absorbing
that you linger over It, and it
serves as temptation to keep
you away from the regular routine
OF your work The fact that 1t
keeps you is not so bad as the fact
that anything that keeps you from
your regular work becomes
source of annoyance and irrita-
ton. You are annoyed with your
self because you do not get your
regular work done and yet you
cannot resist the temptation TO
keep at work on the sweater.
And of course the sweater is
soon finished and you have no
pickup work. left.
( Now there is one sort of pickup
work that will never tempt you to
neglect your other work. That is
the weekly mending. Yet there
will always be on hand Just
enough of it to take up your idle
moments. If you make a habit OF
putting it in a large mending bag
to be kept somewhere on the
ground floor. on the porch in sum-
mer, you will see that it is not
difficult to get through with it
every week.
| There is never good sense in
spending an entire day mending
once month or every six weeks.
The best sort Of mending is a
little done every week.
Another sort of good pickup
work consists Of the buttonholes
to be put on new clothes that you
have made. They. like mending,
will probably not offer enough
stimulation to tempt you to
neglect your other work. but they
are not unpleasant and are easily
picked up and put down again.

Saturdays Tasks
NATURDAY has always been

CATURDAY has always been
- one of the housewives busiest
days. but it is not a day with
unpleasant associations. We work
as hard on Saturday as on Non
day, yet we do not call it blue
Saturday. Perhaps this ID because
we have SO much pleasure in pre-
pairing for the pleasures on Sun
day, with the men Of the family
at home and possibly weekend
guests.
1t Is a good plan to arrange
your week so that Saturday can
be entirely given over to prepare
ton for Sunday. That is, do the
general cleaning Thursday and
Friday, so that only finishing
touches need be made on Satur-
day. 1t is a comfort to be able
to attack the Saturday morning
baking and other food preparation
directly the dishes are done after
breakfast Saturday.
Much time IL usually spent mar
keting on Saturday. One house
wife who has things we'll systema-
tized always makes up her lists
for marketing on Friday and then
orders all dry groceries on Friday
so that all that needs must be
ordered on Saturday are meats and
vegetables. She knows exactly
what she wants and there is never
any having to wait for the Satur-
day orders to be delivered before
doing Saturday baking and cook
ing.

and blackberry jam. All these
things are deliciously made and
attractively packed.
You can save from your own
pantry or buy very attractive jars
for jams and marmalade. You
can label them with bought past

Selecting Your
Washcloths

= INEN is the ideal material for
washcloths. because it gives
- up the soil SO much more
readily than cotton. This Is es-
pecially true Of children's wash
cloths that naturally are used
more carelessly than those of
adults.
1t is almost impossible to buy
ready-made linen washcloths,
however. Since the war it has
been quite as difficult to buy
Turkish toweling of linen, which
in tho old days was chosen for
washcloths by many housewives.
This they bought by the yard, cut
It into convenient sizes for wash
cloths and crocheted around with
linen thread.
II you have any linen Turkish
towels on hand treasure them
carefully and when they have
worn in the middle save them to
cut up into washcloths. The ends
are always firm when the center
part has given way and will yield
several good, substantial wash
cloths.
For young children a very good
washcloth can be made from the
heaviest linen huckaback. This
can be hemmed all around and
provided with a tape loop.
For a cotton washcloth a good
selection and one that is inexpen-
sive is a washcloth made from
three thicknesses OF white gauze.
A Doctors wife always has this
sort Of washcloth for members Of
her family and delights her house
guests by presenting them with
one when they come to visit her.
As q matter Of fact the material
costs but three and third cents for
d cloth and she makes them in
odds and ends of time when she
would be doing nothing else. She
folds the gauze in three-ply and
then, turning in the edge Of the
outside pieces. runs 1t coarsely but
securely around the edge. With
washcloths as inexpensive as this
It Is an easy matter to discard one
after 1t fails to become pure white
after 1t comes from the laundry.

10 saved and energies are bent In

There 10 one advantage In not
building your own home during
the hrst few years. The longer
you have experience In keeping
house the better ideas you will
have a. to what. sort OF house you
want, tho better will be your suE-
gestions to the builder. For don't
imsgine that every one who Ia an
architect or builder by profession
has very good ideas 10 the way to
make q house most convenient.
He has other things to think OF.
and often the convenience Of 4
house II something that results
entirely from the owners revision
OF plans.
Think Il over. Keep little
book In which you lot down ideas
that you would like to carry out.
Consider the question OF bunga-
lows as compared with houses
built on two or three floors. Plan
your kitchen. Incorporating points

that have proved convenient. Try
and make your house an all-year-
round proposition. SO often a

son. IL In then either q warm
weather house or a cold-weather

In your designs that will make II

there are no dark rooms. II pos
sible. plan a sleeping porch. X II
IL only big enough for 4 bed OF
two. This need not be made so
that you can use II all the year

II something that the man who

When You =
Buy Stockings

THE mere fact that you have
paid a high price for a stock
ing does not always mean that
1T is going to prove satisfactory.
You should be sure that it Is ex-
actly suited to fit your type of foot,
and also suited for the sort Of wear
that you are going to give It.
The woman who Is stout or tall
usually has more trouble with runs
In her stockings than from holes in
the toes or heels. She probably
does not measure her stockings
when she buys them. She takes
the saieswoman's word for il that
the stocking is of good size. What
might prove to be an excellent type
or stocking for a small woman
would be quite unsuitable for the
woman who is large. And certain
excellent brands of stockings al
ways run smaller than others.
When you find a brand that fills
your requirements stick to it.
1t is n good plan always to ask
the saleswoman to examine the
stockings you buy. She does this
by putting her hand through the
stocking looking for defects in the
weave. II you always did this you
would not have to face the later
embarrassment Of finding that your
stockings had run the first time
you put them on.
L. you have narrow feet take the
pains TO find stockings that are
narrow. Often seamless stockings
are wider in the feet than those
that have seams, and for this rea-
son should not be selected unad-
visedly by the woman with narrow
feet.
Always examine personally the
size marks on each pair OF the
stockings you buy to make sure
that you are getting what you ask
for.
