What Women
Should Know
When Mother Lunches Alone

A mother of school children who
take their lunches and is left alone
in the middle of the day often neg
lects her own luncheon, sometimes
not fixing herself anything at all.
Now, in the morning when she is
putting up the children's lunches,
she makes a few extra sandwiches,
hard.co an extra egg or any OF
the things she Is fixing for the
children. These are rolled neatly In
a napkin and placed in the icebox.
When lunch times comes it is q
pleasure to have her meal all ready,
and, with a cup of tea or a glass
of milk. she enjoys her luncheon
without the trouble of stopping to
get 1t. BY having the same lunch
con as the children, the housekeep'
er may be more careful about pre-
venting their lunches from becoming
monotonous.
A Travelling Library
In a small town that was not so
fortunate as to have a public IL
brary, one woman interested a few
of her friends and each bought a
new book. Each Wednesday one
member took her book to her near
est neighbor-member and she like
wise received a book, which she
kept for a week and then passed
on, whether she had read 1t OF
not. Each year the club has
grown by leaps and bounds and
the membership list now includes
forty-two names. They buy their
books early in the fall, one mem
Der ordering all of the books sc
that there may be no duplicates
and the supply lasts until late ir
the summer. At the end of the
season each family receives itf
own original book to put on the
home library shelf, so that for the
cost of one book they receive g
whole years reading and at thu
end have the full amount invested
plus the knowledge and pleasure
gained in the year. The cost OF
the book is charged and the mem
Der who has all of the work ana
responsibility receives the 10 pei
cent discount, very little indeed
for her work.
