Think of Essentials
THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TIME FOR IN HOUSEKEEPING.

remember that the real object is real and not apparent cleanliness. This has to do with the drain pipes of the refrigerator, with garbage containers and all food receptacles.. She must remember that in the living rooms of the house a general ordiliness is more valuable than perfect dustless- ness in one room and disorder in another. But in the bathroom meticulous cleanliness is again of paramount importance. She may neglect to dust the bureau in the guest room for days, or for a week-from one guest to another l-better than she can afford to neglect the regular scrubbing of bathroom fixtures.
 In the cooking there is always the temptation to take long time preparing one elaborate dish to the neglect of other dishes.
 And the Man of the Family
 Almost every young woman comes to the realization sooner or later that lot of the things that she regards as most important and most commendable in housekeep- ing are things that her husband doesn't even notice. Most men, for instance, appreciate always having on hand lavish supply of hand and bath towels in good con- dition. They don't notice, many of them, the exquisitely embroid- cred guest towels with initials beautifully pressed into satiny re- lief that appear when there is company for dinner. Most men don't give more than passing thought to the fact that the rad ishes. have been cut into lovely rose shapes. They would just as soon have neat. squares of butter as butter balls that take half an hour a day to make. But they do dislike to have caked salt in the shaker. They don't notice whether the napkins they use are hemmed by hand or machine, but they do appreciate having clean napkins once a day. They don't notice whether the silver candlesticks are polished to a high gloss or only kept free from black. They don't care whether the mayon- naise dressing has been put on salad through pastry funnel or simply piled on with a spoon, but they do like to have creamed soups served without Jumps. They

With One Pattern

This is a good suggestion for the woman who makes her own clothes ard who uses the short cut of paper patterns Paper patterns are more expensive than they used to be. Some of them are quite expensive. If you pay forty cents or a dollar for a pattern and use it for only one frock you have just that much to add on the cost of the frock. If you use it for two or three frocks then the cost is less considerable.
 Every woman, almost, needs ging- ham frocks as late spring and sum mer approach. No one doubts their suitability for street wear in warm weather. There is no reason why you should not have two or three Of these gingham rocks made accord ing to the same design. providing the design is eminently suited to you

WHEN YOU DRINK COFFEE

II Is not dificult to make good coffee. and 1t is worth while learning to do. A good meal can be spoiled by a cup of weak. muddy. luke warm cofiee. A poor meal can be redeemed by hot. nayorsome. aromatic, clear coffee. suflciently strong to contain all the rich taste of the coffee. not strong enough to be acrid.
 Master the art of making good coffee and then master the habit of drinking 1t as a pleasant relaxa- tion from the days work.

WHERE are some fashionable
 women who take satisfaction in
 having several frocks made in different colors all in the same model. Thus at the Southern re- sorts where women gather in late winter there are some women who have several fine gingham frocks all made exactly the same way, varying only in the color of the gingham. Again woman may have a white crepe frock and black crepe frock and a beige crepe frock all made after the same design, This is regarded as a rather clever trick. And if certain style proves 10 be eminently becoming to a wo- man there is good sense in having several frocks made according to it.

k<Y NEVER care whether I read
 the evening paper or not, = commented one commuters wife. But it does vex me so when Tom leaves it in the train. We always put the garbage in it before we put it in the can."
 well, I know our maid would find housekeeping dull as ditch water without newspapers" said another woman. "She spreads them over the oilcloth on the kitchen table every morning. and leaves them there until after the cooking is done, and then she has apple cores and potato skins all conveniently in them when she clears up. And she reads them as she works or eats her lunch. She usually puts a picture supplement or magazine page on top, so she can see it, and leaves the stock market reports and shipping news for the under layers"
 All of which was not very en- couraging to the enthusiastic newspaper writer to whom the re- marks were addressed.
 What It Means in Housekeeping.
 But the fact remains that many of us would find housekeeping just a little harder if we didn't have newspapers to fall back on. Against the day of moving we always take pains to make a large collection of newspapers, for nothing equals them for packing purposes, and there are many ways to use them at houseclean- ing time. In the old-fashioned house where a stair carpet is still used it has been found that a full. thick paper, folded lengthwise and placed on the tread over the edge of each stair before the car pet is laid, proves equal to an ex- pensive felt pad for saving the wear, and equally efficacious for deadening the sound.

 Much in a Century.
 YY1HEN George Washington 1 " was little boy children
 " stood when they ate with their parents. Even very young children of good family were taught to rise when their elders came into the room and to re- main standing until the parents were seated.
 Nowadays children certainly do not stand when they eat, but when circumstances permit they do not dine with their parents. If there are guests for dinner itsis usually more considerate to have the younger members of the family eat at another time or in another place. Sometimes they even eat at another table in the same room. ! If their manners are not exactly what they should be, then they cannot cause any annoyance to fastidious elders. In many house. holds it is customary for children to eat breakfast with their par ents, to have luncheon with them only when there is no company, and never to dine with them.
 Very young children cannot usually be taught to rise when their elders appear in the room except through rather too severe discipline. But boys and girls after they have reached the age of six or seven can be taught with out difficulty to rise when their elders appear in the, room. They need not be made to stand servile- ly until the elders are seated as doubtless did the children of Washington's days, but they should be taught that they should pay this mark of respect. Chil- dren are prone to take the most comfortable chairs in the room. They should be told that when elders come into the room the ob- ject in rising is so that the elders may take the chairs they wish, while the little people may take what seats remain.
 Children naturally crowd ahead | of their parents or other adults in entering or leaving a room. They | can very early be taught that this is not good form. Parents should make it habit to precede their children, and in this way the chill dren become accustomed to stand. ing back while other adults pre- eede them.

The Never Failing Newspaper

are nailed down all over floor there must also be spreading of newspapers, which do much to keep dust from beneath seeping up into the carpt.
 And in these days of scarce fuel many housekeepers have found the heat that newspapers give out when burned in the open fireplace a real help. You can make a cheerful breakfast fire with half dozen papers. Don't open them and crumple them, but tear them into two or three thick strips. They burn more slowly and give out a steadier heat.
 Paper fireballs," says an Eng fish writer, "are an admirable economy. Soak as many news papers as you can spare in a large bath of water for some days, then squeeze the, pulped paper very tightly into balls the size of a large orange, and dry very thor oughly, out of doors if possible. Use these balls as fuel savers, when wish to keep a fire going slowly after it is we'll alight.'
 This trick is worth trying by the woman who boasts of. an open fireplace in her living-room.
 In cleaning up dirty dishes or kitchen utensils pile of news paper squares kept in a con venient place is very useful for wiping off greasy surfaces before rinsing. Some very thrifty women even throw these grease-saturated papers in a box to be used as kindling at future time. Many people find it saving of time to spread a pad of newspapers on the kitchen table before beginning food preparations, baking, etc. The newspapers are collected after the work is done and there is less scrubbing up than would other wise be necessary. .,
 One housewife has even found that newspapers when shredded into fine strips and wadded to- gether make a good foundation stufflng for window seat covers and other amateur upholstery work.

When You Arc Cold.

In cold weather your bed may be made warmer by spreading a thickness or two of newspapers between the springs and the mat tress. If you happen to be guest in house where the guest rooom bed is not sufficiently well equip ped with blankets and you do happen to have a newspaper, you will find that considerable chill is kept out if the paper is spread be- tween layers of the blanket. Only of course you will find it will crackle a little unless you sleep very quietly.
 Many a motorist has found that he could make amends for being insufficiently clad by putting a newspaper across the chest be- meath his coat and another mp and down his back.

"HE successful housewife must
 be person whose mind is
 = trained to be forever able to discern essentials from non-essen- tials.
 If she has been employed by the public school system, let us say, before her marriage, she has had this decision about essentials made for her. Supervisors and superintendents decide how much time should be devoted to arith- metic, how much to reading and other branches. If she is a ste- nographer in business mans office, it is usually he and not the stenographer, who decides which part of the daily york can be glossed over and which needs thorough attention. If she is en- gagged in any highly skilled or artistic work it is of such a quail ity usually that the worker has time to devote the utmost of time and attention to every phase of tlt WOl K. e
 But with homework there is a bewildering amount of work that might be done and it is the young housewife's new and sometimes difficult task to decide which phase of the work is worth much time and which worth little. She must depend on her own judg- ment sometimes for the first time in her life, and she will find her self in confusion and her house. work getting the better of her if she permits herself to be deter mined by the amount of interest she takes in any particular sort of work. For instance, she may start out cleaning room and she may become interested in seeing how perfectly she can polish each piece of furniture and how high gloss she can get on the waxed floor. This is commendable, no doubt, but if she becomes too en- grossed in this work she will find the clock pointing to midday be- fore any ordering has been done or the preliminaries for meals taken.
