Table Setting May
Be Much Simplifed

It is an old-time trick Of overworked
housewives to keep the table partly set
from one meal to the next and to re-
move the tablecloth and various perma-
nent accessories of meals-Such as sugar
bowl, vinegar cruet, pepper box and salt
cellars-only when clean tablecloth is
to be spread. And in many a household
this occurs only two or three times a
week.
And, of course, most housewives who
do their work without help, and look
after a family Of children, are over
worked. You cannot expect them to
miss any chance Of saving steps and
trouble that are so apparent as this.
Still, the fastidious woman firmly
disapproves of this trick of leaving the
table set. It is synonymous to her with
rusticity and bad breeding, lack OF taste
and general carelessness.
The task of setting and unsetting the
table may be much simplif1ed If you
have ample room in your dining room
in which to keep table equipment and
various accessories Of the table In from
kitchen or pantry when the time comes
If you use tablecloth at all, the
chances are that you use 1t only fol
dinner. With care tablecloth may be
kept looking very well for three or -four
dinners, especially If children are not
permitted to dine with their elders
You should have q drawer in your buff
fet or In your pantry where you car
keep the tablecloth In use away from
fresh clothes and other accessories. II
one drawer you may put the rolled-ur
husFer and the carefully folded table
cloth. You may prefer to keep these
things on o shelf In your pantry.

Neatness in Small Child

tages. It Is perfectly possible to dye
faded garments at home at a trifiing
expense.
Never buy or make clothes for chill
dren over five or six without consulting
their tastes. It Is a good plan, too, to
visit the child'S school occasionally so
as to get an idea Of what other children
wear. Nothing makes a child more
uncomfortable than to be dressed In a
manner that makes him conspicuous to
his associates.
You may learn from q high-class
outfitter for children that q certain
sort of suit Is highly appropriate for
school children, and it may be In certain
places, but this does not mean that your
child will feel or look appropriately
dressed in that selfsame suit or frock.
OF course, it would be folly to follow
your children's whims entirely IN choos-
ing their clothes. They usually incline
to too much finery. Often they wish
to emulate their favoriteS in school,
even though they may be atrociously
and inAppropriately dressed. However,
1t is nearly always possible for mother
and children to strike a compromise and
find something that suits both.
The French middle-class mother puts
a black Saline smock on her son and
daughter when they go to school. This
does not show the dirt: It covers up
the frock or suit completely. It gives
the school child an air Of uniformity
among other black-Smocked children.
But this somehow goes against the grain
Of American taste. Black doesn't seem
appropriate in children, and just the
fact that q black smock doesn't show
the soil Is no reason to think 1t Is not
soiled.
Little girls used very often to wear
washable - usually starched - pinafore
aprons over wooden frocks to school in
Winter. Sometimes the wooden dresses
with which they were worn had wash
able guimpes. This get-up had distinct
advantages. At present, however.
mothers are more inclined to give their
children SUFFICIENT warmth In under
clothes with washable frockS above
them. The wooden sweater solves the
problem Of adding additional warmth
on very cold days.

Maidless Dinner
Skillfully Planned

When you give a little dinner with
no maid or with only an inexperienced
maid 1t is a good plan not to have any
dish in your menu that demands much
last-minute attention. For this reason
whipped cream dishes, though delicious
and not difficult, are not a good selec-
ton as it is annoying for the hostess to
have to excuse herself to whip cream
before the dessert course.
There are desserts Of the sort that
we know as charlottes, however, that
make use of whipped cream in another
way. That is the cream Is whipped
and added to the rest Of the dessert
hours before it is used, as 1t Is set on
ice to chill with the gelatin mixture
that holds the cream.
When possible it is desirable to have
some place to set out the salad plates
all ready for the salad course. This
should be as cool as possible. There is
nothing so confusing in getting a din
ner as not to have enough places to
put things in preparation. 1t Is a really
good idea to we several cutting or
card tables in the kitchen and to devote
one to each If the several courses.
When time comes to make changes
between courses no time has to be
wasted in looking for the essentials OF
that course.
In planning all your dishes for the
little dinner that you must serve your
self observe how much can be done IN
advance and how much depends on last
minute preparation. There are some
dishes like chicken pie that can be
prepared well ahead of time. The
chicken can be cooked, the gravy made
and the pastry arranged over the pie
in baking dish. All that need be done
when you want to serve it is to take It
from the oven, place your baking dish
in q silver ring or cover its sides with
folded napkin, and you have good.
old-fashioned dish for dinner. II
potatoes have been cooked IN the pie
there is just that much more last
minute trouble saved.

Curtains Let in
And Keep Out Light

With all this new appreciation for
more sunshine it seems as If cur ideas
concerning window curtains would
have to be revised. Once the most i'm
portant consideration about any set Of
curtains was whether or not they would
successfully shut out the sunshine
when required to do so. Windows were
apparently constructed to let in air and
light and curtains were then made to
keep out as much as possible OF these
commodities.
So it is that at great many win
dows you viii stiN find one roller shade
Of light color and another OF very dark
green. A heavy lace curtain hangs
from the top of the window to the floor
and over this q heavy, long, over-drap-
cry Of rich velvet or velour. Sometimes
there is, further, small sash curtain
Of fine net set next the pane OF the
window.
Luncheons are still given by candle
light or electric light early in the aft
ernoon when daylight is still bright
and thrifty housewives still go to great
pains never to let the sunshine OF
their best rugs or carpets for fear OF
/ fading the col0cgs

You Should Know
Cost of Servant

II you have a maid or have had one,
did you ever stop to consider and to
work 1t out in black and white Just how
much she costs you? You should not
simply consider the wages you pay her.
If possible compare food bills, bills for
light and fuel a month when you have
a maid with those Of month when you
have none. You will see that expenses
here differ very much.
Then you must also consider that
when you have no maid you have to
have outside work done. There Is per-
haps o woman by the day and outside
laundry. Moreover, when you have a
maid you can perhaps do all your own
mending and sewing, but when you
have none you have to have sewing
woman in to do this.
BY dint Of considerable figuring you
ought to be able to tell Just what your
maid costs. Now stop and consider
whether this is worth while.
One sensible housewife the other day,
when a last maid had just departed,
sat down TO figure just how much a
maid cost her for year. She then
figured how much capital this repre-
dI1u WIldb oI1C O1oCONCICu Su4
prised her, as it would probably sur
prize you If you made the same figur-
ing.
Many a housewife has discovered that
a maid costs much more than an auto
mobile, and there are housewives who
would rather do their own housework
alone and have a car than to have q
maid and no car.
Sometimes the amount OF money that
q maid represents may be spent in cleo
trio appliances to make housework
easier-6ish washers, vacuum cleaners,
electric washers, electric ironers, etc.
And sometimes it happens that the
housewife simply looks upon the amount
saved by doing her own work as more
money to spend on theaters and clothes.
And il she likes these things they prob
ably repay her for the amount Of work
she does to make up for the work Of
the maid.

Achieving the Well

e-Meeting the
Clothes Problem of
the Rapidly Growing
Child ON a Moderate
Income.

MOST mothers take a real satisfac-

neatly and smartly dressed. 1t Is 9
satisfaction, too, to feel that real
smartnesS for children consists In
nothing in the world but neat. simple
clothes that fit well. And these re-
quirements can be met without great
expense.
dowdy dressing in children are matters
such as broken, knotted Shoestrmgs
petticoats or boomers that sag, shirt
sleeves that insist on peeping out below
the sleeve of coat or frock, clothes
that are strikingly too large or voc
small, clothes that are faded or ragged
Many mothers insist that 1t Is not
possible without great expense TO nave
their children's clothes fit. They nave

they are soon outgrown. One way o.
managing this difficulty without extra
expense Is to have a rather small ward

OF course, clothes win fade. But one
excellent way Of getting around thu
difficulty is by choosing materials that
are not readily affected by the sun

and gray, are all fairly proof against
fading. Light pinks, lavenders and

Be Appreciative!

The woman who always has trouble
with her servants is pretty sure to be
the woman who hasn't learned the
delicate art of paying compliments.
The business man who frequently
loses a well trained stenographer right
in the middle of his busiest season Is
the man who hasn't learned the knack
of letting his employees know when he
is pleased with their work.
The club woman who has the repu-
tation of being conceited may not, as
a matter of fact, be much OF an egotist,
but she never gives other women the
satisfaction Of letting them know that
she admires their methods as well as
her own.
And you may be sure that the teach
er who gets the least out Of her pupils
Is the teacher who has not learned
that It Is just as necessary to compile
ment her children when they do well
as to scold them when they do badly.
It Is q Enack worth acQuiring-that
knack Of making the little pleasant
speeches-and 1t often does much to-
ward producing success.

Be a Good Guest

Some women Eho are the best host
esses make the worst guests. The man
aging woman makes q good hostess.
The managing woman, unless she leaves
her desire to manage at home, makes a
rather poor guest.
Don't try to run your hostess house
when you are visiting. Let yourself At
as well and as comfortably as possible
in to your hostess plans. For your own
sake and FOR hers, spend some time
each day in your own room. You will
find yourself rested and refreshed by a
nap or an hour alone reading and writ
ing letters. You will find your hostess
grateful for this let-up in her response
bilities.
If you want to make q good impress
sion as guest, get along, ct all odds,
with your hostess family and friends.
1t may take Q bit Of managing, this
perhaps forced congeniality, but It is
worth while.

FLANNEL, tweed, and knit materials
= are more appropriate for the girl In
her teens than the finer suit materials
such as covert or wool wolfe, which play
such an important role in fashions Tor
older women this season.
Printed silks for the girl in her teens
should be those showing the smaller,
heater designs. Large flower designs
or strikingly modernistic designs with
strong color contrasts are better Selec-
ton for the older woman. For warm
weather street wear there are lovely
printed silks Of a soft color combina-
ton with figures arranged so that they
give the effect of dotS-printS that
might seem to be lacking in character
for the older woman but that enhance
the charm of the younger girl. Brighter
printS-preferably in fairly small de.
sign-are chosen for resort or indoor
wear while for late afternoon and eve.
ming the figured silks Of soft flower
tones are charming.
THIS Is a season of pastels-but
while the so-called dusty tones and
the new dirty pink" are usually more
becoming to the older woman than the
cleaner, clearer tones, the girl In her
teens appears to better advantage In
these clearer paStelS.
Girls of today usually like colors, and
they should certainly not be discour-
| aged in this preference. The ugly
duckling often becomes the swan Of
the family II allowed to wear gsy colors
instead of the subdued tones that some
mothers choose for them. There are
mothers, you know, who keep their
daughters in beige and navy blue and
white $Aeling that these colors indicate
good taste. But this sort of thing is
most unfair to the young girl who re-
mains drab and Insignificant in subdued
and darker tones.

BY MARY MARSHALL.

TINE junior miss, Sub-deb, dapper-
by whatever name you choose
to call the girl between IS and
17-has clothes problems all her
own, clothes problems that are especial
" important because her interest In
dress Is decidedly keen. It really Is
keen, even If the Junior miss in ques-
ton pretends to be Indifferent and pro-
teets her dress consciousness by shell
of nonchalance.
These facts most mothers realize, but
most mothers do not realize that young
girls Of this age have, as rule, pref
udices and opinions in matters of
dress that are worth taking into con-
sideration, and that they also possess,
as q rule, remarkably good taste.
An interesting fact with regard to
the taste Of the sub-deb is that indi-
vidually expressed 1t Is very much
better usually than when expressed coll
lectively. The 16-year-old girl who is
bound up heart and soul in the sympa-
thies and activities Of the school clan
to which she belongs chooses clothes
and colors that she probably would not
choose If left to her own devices.
II **
THE girl Of this age needs variety
of clothes, but, thanks to her
youth, she does not need clothes Of the
most expensive sort. The older woman
who finds that to make a creditable APP
pearance she needs materials of the
finest quality and dresses of expensive
finish, may contrive to make a single
suit and two or three blouses answer
the purposes for all daytime occasions
evening dress to three or four OF an
inexpensive sort. This Is often the
best procedure for the sub-debutante'
mother.
TO be sure, the girl in her teens
wants q suit, but It need not be one Of
the expensive tailored or dreSSmaker
suits. There are little unlined jacket
and skirt suits Of light weight knit
wooden material or flannel that cost
very little. but that look all that a suit
should look when worn with appro-
pirate accessories.
An excellent choice is the jacket suit
Of MILDLY blue fannel-nautical In spirit
but suitable for street or spectator
sports wear. The matching beret need
cost but trifle and the separate wash
able white blouses may be made at
home for very little.
The suit Of lightweight tweed-to
be worn with. washable blouses-is an
| excellent choice for motoring and travel.
| It may consist Of skirt, short jacket and
coat reaching nearly the bottom Of the
skirt. The coat may be worn with the
jacket or directly over the blouse and
also answers the purpose Of separate
coat for other dresses.
