Unbleached Cotton
Doilies Are Useful

There are all sorts of interesting
table mats or plate doilies that can be
made from inexpensive materials at
small cost and not too much labor.
You can use odds and ends OF ma
terial that You have on hand, If you
want. But If you haven't enough. try
buying unbleached cotton, cutting it in
rounds, and binding 1t. You can get
colored binding cut on the bias folded
and curved, all ready to slip over the
edge of round mat.
Marx the rounds with plates of dif-
ferent sizes. The big dinner plates will
give the shape for the plate doilies, but
ter plates or dessert plates will give the
smaller rounds.
The bias binding may be stitched on
by machine, and the doilies will thus
be cheap. easy to make and scrviCeab!e
Be sure that the binding you choose
Is In a fast color
For Summer use, table mats Of gtnp.
ham In checks or platds bound with
the plain color. are attractive You can
decorate cottage dining room with
gingham curtains and have the table
doilies match. Runners Of the gingham
may appeal TO you more than doilies,
and they are just as effective and serv-
iceable
Then you can make very interesting
table mats OF oilcloth for the Summer
cottage. / know some one who has
table mats Of soft yellow oilcloth, in a
really lovely shade, that need no more

be diluted in twice as much water and

Tomato Juice or raw cabbage are both
substitutes for orange Juice and may
be offered as change or used constant

alternate with orange Juice when baby
is constipated.
Vegetables can be introduced into the

can be added to it. Or one can cook

Pick Up Work.

so-called pickup work is too attractive
it will cease To be pickup work and will
become the absorbing interest Of the
day?
That is, Il you have sweater in the

But you find the working out Of the

your work The fact that Ii keeps YOU
is not 50 bad as the fact that anything
that keeps you from your regular work

because you DO not get your regular
work done, and yet you cannot resist
the temptation TO keep at work on the
sweater
And. of course. the sweater Is soon
hniShed and you have no pickup work
left.

to be spent over the stove Is not really
great at all. Thursdays meal may oe

may at the same time make the apple

One OF these that comes under the

this habit is hard to shake. When one
mother asked an enthusiast for milk

she could get her child to take vegc-
tables he told her that the child was
smarter than she. as children had IAN
instinct to reject vegetables" which
ought to give all good behaviorists at

The reasons for additional foods is of
less interest to the mother than definite
instructions on the proper foods for the
baby. She can safely accept the con-

other symptoms OF malnutrition If ad-
citions are made to the diet from the

What Do We Mean
BY thoroughbred?

When you say another MSman is a
thoroughbred you feel that you have
paid a compliment Wnat exactly do
you mean?
One ingenious writer once explained
that real thoroughbred individual has
fine clear skin. fine hair of either
light brown. dark brown, black, red or
auburn hue, bright clear eye--either
tall or short but not excessively fat nor
lean, regular teeth, well proportioned
nose, large nostrils, we'll curved Jaws,
full. red and moist lips. we'll rounded
cars, a smooth or rich and full voice.
Probably your own notion of a
thoroughbred has more TO do with
temperament. manner and mental
traits than these purely physical fea-
lures, though undoubtedly there are
some physical characteristics that YOU
do consider essential TO the real thor
oughbred
Perhaps you feel that a thorough
bred must, simply must, have shapely
hands--and that the woman who has
very stubby fingers with nails consider
ably broader than long cannot be
thoroughbred. That notion goes along
satisfactorily until YOU happen to meet
a woman with short fingers and very
stubby nails who really Is very much
of thOrouphbred

Uses of the Kitchen Garden.

Your kitchen garden may vary all the
way from a cultivated patch from
which you may get all the vegetables
you need for the family to q little
window box or back-porch bed of
parsley. The usual sort of kitchen
garden is one that comes somewhere
between these two extremes.
II you are not going to grow every
thing then plan to grow just the things
that require perfect freshness and
things that are higher priced in the
vegetable stores Leave such things as
potatoes, carrots, common onions and
string beans out of the garden until
you have provided an adequate supply
OF lettuce, spring onions. radishes. Gu
cumbers, tomatoes. peas.
Other things that may be found use
ful in the small garden are the less
usual salad greens, seeds for which may
Oe obtained from any seed concern
oeets. asparagus. sea kaIe, rhubarb
globe artichoke, early cabbage and
caaiidower
An experienced gardener advises
changing the position Of the crops from
season 10 season Where you grew
green stun last year grow roots this
year and where you had beets and
radishes last year grow lettuce and sea
kale this.
Much satisfaction may be gained
from q herb and seasoning garden,
which requires very little attention. A

BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

~ LD-FASHIONED cooks used
to attach tremendous
u amount of Importance to
~ their own particular kitchen
tools. My gran d m t h r
wouldn't attempt to make a cake with
out her twn pet mixing spoon, which
dare say her mother had used before
her, and she had curious, heavy stone
ware cup that she absolutely needed for
measuring. She knew exactly how the
cup ought to feel when 1t had enough
sugar for this cake and how 1t would
feel when she had enough for another.
/ think that she secretly felt that
that old cup impaired delicacy of
flavor TO the cake-and she went on
using 1t for decades until one Of her
enlightened young granddaughters dis
covered certain mysterious markings on
the bottom Of 1t and told grandmother
that 1t was much too precious for mere
cake measuring. 1t was an antique,
real museum piece" and had to be car
ried of and given place Of honor in
the old drawing room.
Grandmother smiled-for a long time
her own daughters had been laughing
at her for her fondness for the old cup
They would have thrown 1t away any
time they had dared. and given grand
ma i0-cent tin cup instead. In a
way. she had been right.
Even modern cooks do get used TO
their own equipment. but with modern
methods of standardized measurements
cooks have become more adaptable. And
one Of the advantages of getting used

thermometers and sugar Thermometers
Is that they make 1t possible for
trained cook to cook pretty much as
well one place as another--provided she
has the up-to-date equipment.
think it would be good plan If
every housewife shortly set aside one
year-to the special consideration of
cooking tools and equipment. There
are so mlIy .htyxTs 10 do In the present
housevSS~J job Tia. unless we do have
some definite time to think of things
they are likely TO go unthought Of So
let me suggest this week as Kitchen tool
week.
The first thing would suggest Is to
get all your kitchen tools out from
drawers, cupboards etc, and look them
over quite thoroughly. If there are any
knives, forks, egg beaters, or similar
articles that have broken or cracked
handles which prevent perfect cleanli-
ness, by all means throw them away
Tools are surprisingly inexpensive now
adays 50 that 1t is never worth while
keeping those that are damaged~-un-
less, Of course, they do happen TO be
museum pieces" and then they are
better anywhere but In the kitchen.
Then let me suggest washing every
thing and securing 1T with especial
feryor and after that setting the things
all out In an exposed place where they
may have very thorough sun bath.
Knives should be well sharpened, but
don't make the mistake OF leaving
sharp kitchen knives In kitchen table
drawer with other tools where you or
some one else may be cut on the sharp
blades. / have known Of several cuts

Another cottage dining table that /
know about is fitted out with thin straw
mats. There is grass rug on the floor.
and the chairs are straight wicker ones.
This dining room is really porch. with
windows that may be dropped down at

the straw and wicker are especially
appropriate
One woman that / know has edged
table runners, made Of gray crash. with
red zigZag braid. The crash Is sell
vaged on the edges, anyway, so 1t needs
no hemming. The braid is just ma

wood chairs have cushions Of red and
gray cretonne. and the same cretonne--
which has likewise little black ard

are subject to the doctors orders. Ba-

react well to 1t, Always the initial

that no child ever needs more than ten
drops day. After all, that is up to
the doctor.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

:. There Is still a rather widespread be-
lief that all the food baby needs the
nrst year is milk and this idea is re-
sponSible for much infant malnutri-
lion. 1t is just as true as it ever was
that we do not put the baby up to the
table and feed him little potato and
gravy, or crackers wet with water or
milk, or tastes OF ice cream. or what
ever happens TO be on the family table
that seems to the mother soft enough"
to be suitable to baby's toothless condi-
