PERVERTED ECONOMY

The practice of economy is a splendid thing, but like all
good things 1t must be practised wisely or it becomes worth
less and ridiculous.
The housekeeper who saves a few cents a week by the
purchase of an inferior grade of butter, or an inferior grade
of milk for her family, so as to be able to save enough to
buy a new lamp for the living room is not practising wise
economy. Good food is essential. One would not put an in
ferior grade of gasoline in ones automobile and expect it to
run smoothly. 1t is just as true of the human machine. When
1t comes to food, the oil Of the human engine, the best is al
ways the cheapest.
How ridiculous is the woman who is so economical that
she saves for days, or more likely weeks, the lux water
in which she has washed her fine laces on the chance of further
use, and is so foolishly extravagant as to buy a string Of
beads to match perfectly each of her gowns.
Doesn't that strike you as being perverted economy?
Still don't you all know people whose idea of economy is such.
The saved lux water Of a life time wouldn't purchase a single
bead in a string.
A confusion of essentials and non-essentials; an unjust
estimate of proportionate values; an overstressing of details
to the exclusion of vital things-that is the trouble with
many womens idea of economy.
To practice economy wisely is hard. One wouldn't be
human without ones pet extravagances. Every woman has
them. But don't have so many of them that you pay for them
with your unwise and ridiculous economies.
The secret Of wise economy lies, don't you think, in its
even distribution.
Balance, moderation, a knowledge of real and proper
tionate values marks the wise economist as it marks the wise
woman.

How To Make
Delicious Pickles
BY Sister Mary

Perhaps an early frost has come
along and nipped the cantaloup
vines. The melons look full grown
and seem to ripen in the sun but
VIII en- cut they are not sweet n are
a great disappointment. y
However, these melons can be
used for delicious sweet pickles
They combine with green tomatoes
In a truly %epicurean relish. one
flavor compliments the other.
Small unripe melons are also used
for this pickle. The tomatoes should
be green, so green that the white
tinge is u~nnoticeable.
C~antaIoup and Tomato Pickle
Pare rind from melon and remove
seeds. Cut in two or three lnch
lengths of about three-fourthS inch
thickness. Wash tomatoes and cut
in Jne-fourth inch slices. Let stand
in salt and water to cover for three
hours. Use one-half cup salt for
one-half peck tomatoes. Sprinkle
salt through tomatoes as slicing
them and then pour over water TO
cover. Drain thoroughly. Combine
c~antaloup and tomatoes and let
stand in weak alum water to cover
for four hours. Allow one teaspoon
powdered alum to a quart of boil
Ing water.
Heat SLOWLY 10 inc poillHS punt
romove from fire and let stand in a
warm place for the required length
of time. Drain and put into very
colo WAFER to chill.
Make a strip by boiling two
pounds brown sugar, one quart cider
vinegar, two tablespoons whole
cloves three tablespoons broken
stick cinnamon one tablespoon all
@pice berries until thick. Strain
bver tomatoes and melon put

Let stand until the next morning,
then drain off strip and scald. Pour

successive mornings. The last morn

Colors In Shoes
With an all-black frock slippers
of gold or silver are shot with bril-
liant colors so that the high note of
the costume is reached in the shoes.
Sandals are made in all fabrics
and sometimes snakeskin or very
fancy feathers are employed.
Light hosiery is almost inevitable.
Browns, pearl OF gunmetal are fash
ionable for street and f~esh-colored
ones for evening. Lace and en-

with fancy footgear there is a prefer

Sometimes we believe that Judges

There must be something about

Here's an Eastern magistrate who

When a chauffeur applied in his
court for q permit to carry a re-

single men. This is good news for
burglars, who should hereafter insist
upon knowing whether a man is
married before starting to burgle.

ed that a married man would not
use his aforesaid revolver so readily
as a single man, because he had a
dependent wife to look after.
Or maybe he felt the gun was
in safer hands because the married
man. because of practice, is a bet

Apparently no stipulation was add
ed that the re%volver-toter must
check all guns and razors at the
door when he went to a party or en-

This is a matter which should be
settled by army authorities or motion
