The Comfortable Home

A comfortable residence for the
family provides a decent, clean and
well-kept house. This is the founda-
tion of family welfare and happiness.
1t should be a well-ventilated house,
with plenty of fresh air in every
room in winter and in summer. In
cold weather, the living rooms should
be warm and cozy with the ther-
mometr ranging around 20 degrees,
perhaps a trifle blow, but not above
The home should furnish an abund-
ant supply of water, good to drink
and ample for cleanliness. Soft
water for bathing is a luxury, and
they are fortunate who can always
draw warm water. from the faucet,
upon demand Convenient washing
facilities promote cleanly habits.
The comfortable home should be
fitted to carry on the industries of
the home eniently-cOoking, serv-
ing meals, laundry work, sewing and
other activities necessary to keep the
family going. 1t should also furnish
a convenient safe and sufficient place
in which to store the blongings of
each member of the family: shelf,
drawer and closet room.
The comfortable home is a harbor
to retire to from out the storms of
life. Here "the tired business man"
finds sweet repOse. Here lads and
lassies romp and practice music and
try out their developing personalities.
Here the wife and mother carries
on" and rules her Queendom and
feels that she is monarch of all she
surveys-when her lord and master
is not about. In most families the
house is the particular responsibility
and bailiwick of the wife, while the
husband manages the business.
One of the chief requirements of
a comfortable home is a comfortable
and pleasant place to which to well
come friends. Does your home meet
all these requirements? If so, con-
gratulations! If not, what can you
do about it?

Your Child's Clothing

Much of mothers time is occupied
W keeping the family comfortably
clad. AS Solomon says Of his per
feet woman, "she is not afraid of
the snow for her household; for all
her household are clothed with scar
let". Our grandmothers used to take
that literally and make us wear red
flannels. But the modern mother
in spite of silk undies and rolled
stockings = has her duties to her
growing boys and girls. Our day is
a steam heated day, and demands
even more carefully regulated cloth
ing to make adjustments to varying
temperatures.
The first requirement of clothing is
that it should be clean and whole.
1t should be in taste, and nIted to
the occasion on which it is to be
worn. Clothing for the warm school
room should be light and thin, with
heavy over-Shoes % wear into the
cold outdoors.
Every person should have different
clothing for night and day, suited to
the climate; with a change of under
clothes at least once a week it
makes the washings easier to change
more frequently, before the clothing
gets to grimy to come clear. Stock
ings should be changed at least twice
a week. Shoes should be long, and
wide enough; kept free from holes; ;
and with heels which are not run
over, throwing the foot out of line.
In nf to off Of
your child, every mother should OBJ
serve how his companions dress. To
visit school is a good way to judy.e
of that. Your child will not feel at
ease nor be his best self unless his
dress is so nearly like that of his
mates as to be inconspicuous. If
it is to fine or fancy, he will be-
come embarrassed or snobbish. If it
is eccentric in any way, or not up
to par, he will become self conscious
or develop an inferiority complex. If
dressed right a child's dress has a
far more reaching influence on
his future and his development than
most parents realize. The common
belief has been that it doesn't It
ter what the mere child wants; for
he doesn't know how to take good
care of his clothing anyway, and he
will so soon run it through or out
grow it. But it does matter. The
vague but inescapable atmosphere of
it will become almost indelibily stamp
ed upon his soul and deterrnine his
after career.
The ideal dress for child is just
about average, the run of the
mind; neither extreme, rich, nor
shoddy, but simple and good. This
does not require great expense, but
considerable thought and care and
wisdom on the part of the mother

ODD BANK NOTES
OF EARLY TINES
Before Nations Currency
Was Made Stable.

Issues of Confederate money pro-
vided some interesting incidents, says
Farran Zerbe in 1.-THE Story of Money
The earliest issues were from Mont
gomery, Ala, the first capital, and
are rather rare. The plates for these
were produced in the North, in ad-
vance of the outbreak of the war.
Their denominations ran from $50 to
$1,000. When the capital of the Con-
federacy moved to Richmond Va, the
notes were issued from 80 cents to
$500. Some plates for Confederate
notes were made in England and were
seized by the Union government on
their way over to the Confederacy.
When the Civil war came to an end
notes printed on one side and uncut
were found at Richmond.
Among the extraordinary episodes
of the Civil war Is this: A prociama-
tion was issued in May, 1862, by the
Confederate commander at Mesilla,
Ariz., declaring it to be treason to
refuse Confederate money. Shortly
thereafter the California volunteers
drove the Confederates and their
money out and arranged with a mer-
camille house to issue money which
was signed by the commander Of their
forces. This money was known as
rag money because 1t was printed
on muslin. When this was issued the
commander of the California volun-
teers issued proclamation in Spanish
declaring 1t treason to accept Confed-
crate money.
Speaking of California, there were
some interesting notes Issued In that
state in the early days. Among them
were the "shin plasters," which were
payable in gold dust, barking back to
the gold rush days. Evidences of how
California kept on specie basis dur
ing the Civil war is shown by checks
which indicate that a depositor was
given an account to correspond with
the kind of money he deposited For
example, if he deposited gold he could
draw checks payable in gold. Ii he
deposited silver he was entitled to sill
yer; if currency, currency. The COM
mon money of the pioneers was gold
dust and nuggets, to be later followed
by private coinage from % cents to
$50 the latter, octagonal shape, being
the weiI-known California slug"
Some notes in this country have
been printed in other than English.
For example, notes Of several banks
in Pennsylvania were printed in Ger
man. In Louisiana from 1880 to 1850,
the period of wildcat banking, notes
were printed partly in French and
partly in English Notes in Texas
were printed partly in Spanish and
partly in English, and in New Mexico
some scrip was entirely in Spanish
In troublOus times in this country
producers have issued scrip payable
in their own wares for exchange pur-
poses. For example, a strawberry
firm issued scrip payable in straw
berries, others issued it payable in
labor, dentistry, yarn, whisky, etc.

Fashions, Fads, Foibles

The slim figure continues, and with
1t athletic styles are naturally fol-
lowed. We are to keep on being
sporty" and simple in vogue-soft
headgear with little trimming on the
felt; soft jerseys and crepes in sport
styles; more pleats than ever, giving
us room to ''step OUT
Hats are higher, narrower and
more pointed, with their slenderizing
and tallifying effects. Brims are
small-if any-chiefly absent in the
back, with cap-like visor in front.
Lighter, softer and more flexible
are the new fabrics, almost as pill
able and sheer as chiffon.
Stripes, checks and pIaids are very
popular Two piece and combination
frocks are winning their way; made
OF two kinds of material, one plain
and one figured, striped or checked
The blouse or coat is of one kind

waist are making a struggle to come
back, and a few smart suits are sue
ceeding, but the on-piece dress still
plays the star role.

Seek Rare Flo.ver

More than 100 years ago a small
white flower said to grow only on
Unalaska island in the Aleutian group,
was found there. During the last CEN
tury botanists vainly searched for It.
This summer the second specimen was
obtained there by Prof. George Haley
of st. Ignatius college, San Francisco.
The bloom was first reported by a
Frenchman who accompanied party
known as the Kotzebue expedition to
this island in 1815-19. Five other par
ties visited the island to hunt for it
and left empty-handed.

Cooking Meat

Meat is often served which is tough
and tasteless, and there is no ex-
cuse for this. Tougher cuts of meat
are cheaper, and they may be made
delicious and tender by careful cook
ing. 1t takes long, slow cooking %
dissolve the connective tissue of tough
meat and make it tender But such
cooking is likely to draw out the
juices and flavor of the meat and
leave the meat tasteless. To prevent
this, first scar the meat in hot fat
For tough meat, it is best to cut
it about one inch thick, as Swiss
steak is cut. Sprinkle it with salt
and pepper and roll it in flour. Place
it in a frying pan which contains
hot fat and brown it we'll on all
sides; then add enough water to
steam it we'll, cover it closely and
let it simmer until the meat is ten
der. This will be twenty minutes
or more for each pound in the piece.

HELEN.

The ideal age for marriage is a
topic of wide and unending inter
est, and now it has been submitted
to scientific research. Data collected
from the Domestic Relations Court
and the marriage license bureau of
Philadelphia by Hornell Hart and Will
mer Shields.
In their treatise they have fixed
the ideal age for marriage at about
for the bride. They say, however,
that deviations Of four years on either
side of the IDEAL age for the groom, or
two years on either side for the bride,
make no noticeable difference, but that
marriages in which the bride is under
21 or the groom under "a become
rapidly more dangerous as younger
ages are considered, and that mar
riage in which either party is 19 or
younger are from ten to one hundred
times as risky as marriages at the
ideal age.
These conclusions were based on
the fact that premature or delayed
marriage is a symptom of permanent
character traits which are unfavorable
to success in family life, and second,
that the boy or girl under 21 has not
had sufficiently broad experience or
has not reached sufficient maturity
to select mate with whom a sue
ceSsful home can be established.
If this is the correct interpreta-
tion, the postponement of marriage
until the woman is 21 and the man
"a would be an extremely important
preventive measures looking toward
elimination of domestic disaster.
On the other hand, there are ex-
ceptions to all rules, and long en-
gagements are APT 10 prove more
disastrous for both the man and the
woman than early marriage A couple
engaged over period of years, seeing
each other continually, are sure to
get on each others nerves, and the
bloom of romance is bound to wear
Off, because romance, being an airy,
fairy thing made of cobwebs, will not
endure being knocked about
Also, an engaged couple stand to
each other in a position which is
peculiarly full Of jealousies and which
must cause many misunderstanding
and chickering's, and as a result love
and romance just naturally peter out
Furthermore, it is human nature to
get tired of waiting for any event too
long, and to lose enthusiasm when
it drags along over period of time
AS result when the engaged couple
finally do marry, it is often a habit
to each other and because everybody
expects it of them, rather than be-
cause they want it for themselves
Contrary to most theories, matri-
mony promotes love just as surely as
long engagement kills it, because
husband and wife go into marriage
with their love unwasted through
years of waiting, and because marriage
draws a couple close together.
You are both young, but if you are
serious minded rather than frivolous;
If you have a full understanding of
the duties and obligations of marri-
ages; of the sacrifices it entails; if
you are financially able to carry on,
l see no greater risk in an immediate
marriage than is taken at any age.

Ban the Dessert

1t takes heroic measures to stuff

the overweight sister. To refrain

two ways to reduce: Choose bulky
vegetables and bran and eat all you

little of it.

Miss 7en-to-Fo1vteen Is Style Problem
SILKS FOR GIRL OF I'm BETWEEN AGE THE
ARE FOR OLDER SISTERS OR MOTHER
BY HARRIET

EROCKING Miss Ten-to-Four-
teen in these days of ultra
sophistication presents problems
unique in the feminine style field.
Miss Ten-to-F Fourteen is no
longer lust little girl" She is
not yet "a deb She must have
clothes designed just for her, to
do her justice.
Frocks for this missy must have
genuine simplicity, natural sim
plicity. Mother may have clothes
that arrive at simplicity through
lines and touches that embody
ultra sophistication. But the
adolescent girl can and should
have clothes that are pretty but
naturally simple.
Silks For Her. Too
Silks for street costumes are as
practical for Miss Ten-to-Fourteen
as for her older sister and mother.
And so we find the checks, dots
and dashes, odd geometric designs
and even the modern fabrics
fashioning her clothes.
Her dresses borrow much from
mothers fashions. There is right
now the vogue for the two-piece
frock and the ensemble. Long
sleeves. skirts with front fullness
only. bow trimmings and bolero
effects also testify to this.
But the frock for the younger
girl usually sports some collar,
contrary to mothers styles. For
the fresh youth of these years can
stand the tight collar and young
bow ties very nicely.
