Special to The Evening Journal.

DELAWARE CITY. March IA
That residents OF this city are de-
termined that an up-to-date high
school building shall be provided for
the children OF the town, is evil
denced by the fact several children
have started movements to that end.
Persons Interested have sought to
get a price on a ten acre plot Of
ground at the western end of the
city, on which to erect the proposed
structure. At the present time the
grades and high school pupils are
compelled to use the same rooms of
the old structure on Clinton street
near Fifth street.
The contention Of the advocates Of
the new building declare the pupils
are so handicapped by the present
arrangement of the study and class
rooms that IL is impossible for them
to do themselves justice. Several
former pupils OF the high school
graduates Of former years. who
know Of this handicapped condition OF
the present school are also urging the
erection Of a new modern building

Every time that you feel unduly
exhausted after a days work sit
down and ask yourself what you
have done, and whether the work
that actually brought your ex-
haustion TO a climax was really
necessary. So often housewives
become too willing TO sacrifice
their own strength to their work.
They plan TO do certain things in
the day and then as something else
occurs to them they try to get
through their days work and some
outside work besides.
Much unnecessary fatigue comes
from having your dishes or sup
plies awkwardly arranged. There
are doubtless low shelves in your
china closet to which you have 70

placing them. Arrange your dishes

Then think them over again, and

Flowers, OF course. They are

thing about flowers is that they

several days before them. are quite
as careful. There are standard
brands OF candy packed in tins,
and these are an excellent choice
for the travellers gift. So are
those candies packed In glass jars
OF all shapes and sizes.
One OF the made-up baskets con-
talning fruit and candy is good

YOUR VEGETABLE BILL
~OMETIMES

OMETIMES in following the
windings of dietetic theories
~ as they develop from genera
ton to generation and year to
year, by this student and that. we
are perplexed and troubled. There
are times when it seems as If there
must be danger in every sort of
food.
But almost never is the finger
OF warning raised against the use
Of vegetables. We are warned by
doctors not to let children have
much meat. TO keep them from ap
excess Of starch, TO avoid much
sugar, but when we tell the doctor
that our children eat many vege-
tables the doctor approves. Ap-
parently there is little chance of
our eating too many vegetables.
A taste for vegetables seldom be-
comes excessive or abnormal, as
does taste for meat or sugar,
and the system does not seem to
be taxed by an unusually large
consumption OF vegetables.
Fruits In general come within
the same classification as vege-
tables. Oranges and apples come
in for increasing praise from doc
tors. Strawberries in certain indi-

self in hives or other ways, but foy
most persons they are wholesome
and il is only the excessive seedi-
ness Of berries in genral that keeps
them from being a suitable food
for young children and delicate
persons generally.
1t you keep household ac-
counts 1t is interesting to note
how great a proportion of
your food money you have
spent on fruits and vegetables
and how much on meats. In most
families the amount spent for the
former is not as great as that for
the latter-but this does not indi-
cate always that SO much meat was
consumed, but shows the rela-
lively high price of meat as COM
pared with vegetables. You can
have vegetables for dinner every
night in the week for what il
would cost TO have meat two
nights.
Unless you buy fruits and vege-
tables out of season and unless
you allow fruits and vegetables 10
be wasted you can hardly spend
too much proportionately Of your
food money for them.

Making 1t Easy

IN BRINGING up little children
something that mothers some
- times forget Is that they have
an INFINITE amount of time at their
disposal. The mere fact that they
take a long time to accomplish a
certain task is no good reason why
we should become impatient and
do IL for them. Often through q
little patience a mother can teach
a small child to do things for itself
whereby she may save herself in
the long run much time and
thought. Frequently the mother
does not take the trouble to teach
the child simply because Il is ap-
parent that she can perform the
task 80 very much quicker herself.
Take the little habit OF washing
hands and face after meals. 1t is
possible to train child or two
10 do this for himself. but you can
not expect him to do it as quickly
as you would. nor can you possibly
expect him to do IL with washing
fixtures placed far above him.
IL would not take much time to
place a little low bench in the
bathroom to serve as the child's
wsshstand. The ideal nursery
contains miniature athroo m
equipment with running water
within the reach of children. But
any one can have. a little bowl and
pitcher for the child's use. At first
fill the little bowl with warm
water for the child and show him
how 10 wash his own towel and
how TO wash his own face and
hands, giving him a special place
for his own towel and wash
cloth. Before long It will be
enough TO fill the pitcher with
water. trusting him to pour the
water into the bowl.
Almost all children like to take
initiative; they like to do things
for themselves. but they are like
wise creatures OF habit. Once
show them how to do q thing and
they will lik TO do 1t that way
always.
II you make point yourself
always to~have a child's rubbers,
hat, coat and other belongings IN
a certain place, within reach of the
child. you can soon teach the child
10 put his own things up and 10
get them when needed. II you
leave them lying about, keeping
them first here and then there, you
cannot expect a child TO be able
TO find them for himself.

Making Your Bathroom
More Convenient

- ATHROoM furnishings. in
these days, are highly tempt
- Ing. The rows and rows OF
white enameled furniture and
nickel and glass furnishings are
40 attractive that II is dificult for
the ordinary shopper to get away
with an intact purse.
Most Of the things displayed, too,
add so much to your comfort and
pleasure II you buy them. And a
wise investment in new furnish
ings for the bathroom is q very
worthwhile one to make.
A new thing is the bathroom
cabinet. 1t looks. really. like a
small kitchen cabinet. II Is as
high. but IL is narrow and shall
lower, and will fit into n space two
feet wide. 1t contains at the bot
tom soiled-clothes compartment
which pulls out with a hinged
door. Above this are some small
drawers for holding soap and vari-
Gus bathroom supplies. And then
above this is a shelf, with a sliding
extension. and lots OF little cup
boards and drawers over IL. II
would hold all medicines and toilet
articles for big family.
If you haven't floor space for a
cabinet, you must at least have
wall space for some shelves. And
however little space you have, you
can find some small set of white

Hail to the Sandal and Fillet of Greece
Both Seem Have Acquired Place Fashions for Evening

/ ing women wore them---a few
times. But they did not Become
part and parcel OF our dress. Tho
thing that the influence OF the
Greek sandal has done Is to give
us many dancing shoes which owe
certain features to the Greek san-
dal. The so-called sandal shoes
OF today have heels, high or low.
But they---the shoes--are cut
away I'm straps over the instep in
almost Grecien fashion. And nj
though they are seldom laced up
with ribbons, yet they are really
laced about the ankles with leather
and kid.
And so lt happens that partly
through the influence of the Gre
clan sandal the shoes that we wear
today are tremendously comfort
able. Perhaps more comfortable
than any shoes have been since

High time you did!
1t is delicious especially so in
warm weather.
1t is something OF a novelty,
which is another thing in its favor.
Everybody likes TO serve some
thing not just like the refresh
ments everybody else serves. and
as yet the frozen salad is unusual.
or course the lettuce for such a
salad must be crisp and fresh and
perfect. With a luncheon vege-
table salad lettuce that is not SO
crisp might answer. We eat such
salad because we are hungry.
But for the dainty frozen salad the
lettuce must be absolutely perfect,
tempting in every way.
The salad of this sort cannot be
put togther until the last minute,
naturally. The lettuce must be
cleaned and put on the ice and
brought out and placed on the
plates just before serving. The
salad dressing must likewise be
kept on ice, ready to use. Then
the salad must be taken from its
bed of salt and ice and turned out
and sliced, or else turned out from

they can be very easily adjusted
and that they enhance the appear
ance OF the coiffure. There was
some talk few months ago that
women I'm Paris were wearing
fillets bit back from the brow,
with a fringe OF hair below them.
There was also talk that hats were
going further back on the head.
But the truth at. the moment Seems
to be that In this country hats and
hair bands are worn well down
over the forehead. touching, often,
the eyebrows. Even so the woman
who knows it is needed for her
best looks allows n few strands of
hair to show below her fllet.
The silver and gold leaves are
still In very good style. And bands
OF ribbon or jewels may be pulled
about the head effectively. An

AYEVER, perhaps, in sll the long
IL list OF fashions for headgear
and footgear were there two
more charming styles than those
Of encasing the feet In sandals and
binding the hair with n flllet.
Both OF these fashions have
come down to us moderns from
Greece. though sandals may have
been worn for covering the feet by
much earlier race than the
Greeks. The Greeks. however,
wore sandals and hllets. and 1t is
with a certain revival OF the Clas-
sic that these details OF fashion
have come into being within the
last few months.
Several years ago. when Empire
styles prevailed. there was an
effort to introduce heelless Greek
| sandals for dancing. Some lead
