KITCHEN hooks GIVE SANCTION TO VOGUE OF


II there is any one room that can
be said to be the center of a home 1t
is the kitchen. This was appreciated
in reality, 1t was the main room of a
house In the early settler days of
America the kitchen was the work
room of the household, and the one
place of CHEEKY warmth that could be
relied upon day in and day out in
Wintry weather, and the place where
cool and refreshing viands were to be
found in Summertime.
In those old kitchens the daily lives
of the family were centered from baby
hood to mature years, until they might
be said to have something like soul.
There are few such kitchens today
which are not only centers OF the
homes but the hearts Of the houses
rooms for which each member OF the
family has respect and actual fondness.
Today the kitchens are again the
centers of homes, but In different
way. Again the woman of the house
has to spend more time in the Kitchen,
IL she is anything OF homemaker,
than she did a few years ago when
servants were the expected thing in
homes of even those in moderate
circumstances. Today pee Nle with
good purses have "servantleSs houses.
They take pride in having every mod
ern continuance and device for labor
saving and convenience. Special in
terest centers in this room, whose
equipment may be the most costly of
any in the dwelling.
There Is a revival of the old-time way
of eating in the kitchen. To be sure,
1t Ia n spoken of in any such pie
bian way. The family eats in break
fast hooks or diningettes, the latter
benz a room in which the dining ele-
ment Is stressed above that OF the
Kitchen. These hooks or "ettes" are
made SO dainty and attractive that they
have little semblance to the old-fash-
toned kitchen-dining room.
While convenience plus lack OF room

Jokes.

Jokes.
Children need to laugh. Jokes are a
part of their daily bread 1t is great
treat for them when you tell a funny
story That story is going to be stored
up for future reference. 1t Is going to
color their thinking and their action.
Jokes. then, are worth while thinking
about. What is truly funny must be-
come matter for consideration.
It is not funny to hurt anybody or
anything know it is next to impos-
sible not to laugh at the sight Of fat
man slipping on banana skin, but 1t
isn't funny. We ought not to laugh.
We should control the impulse because
it is a nervous reaction close to tears of
fright Going to the aid of the injured
person quells all quiyers of laughter.
Pictures are powerful forces for i'm
pressing an idea ] would not let a
child think that a picture showing
children hurting an old man or an ami
NAL was funny. Cruelty is never funny.
Disrespect to old age is a matter for
tears of grief. The sorrows of age are
always too near the surface to permit
of taking any liberties there.
Jokes that are indicate are not
funny for children. They cannot I'M
derstand them and they begin search
ing for a solution. AS that is difficult
to find, it can rarely be put into words,
and they get q wrong notion. They
win repeat such story sometime to an
ill-chosen audience and be penalized
for doing So That is hardly fair.
There are many funny things in the
comic strips. I know there are some
that are not good for children, but
there are enough that are to make the
strips welcome 1t is easy enough to
say ST don't care for that one. 1t

but which is not "spooky" because it
ever could be frightened when this
warm and cheerful color predominates!
The walls and woodwork in this
room are in pale shade of green, the
floor is covered with an apple green
rug and the curtains are of pale gold
gauze.
With this background it is not diff
cult to imagine how delightful an
apricot slip cover piped IN lavender
would be for the sofa, with, perhaps,
pillows of yellow piped with green.

MOTHERS
A Laundry Hint.
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

When washing the children's little
silk hose and silk underwear ! always
give the things rinse in vinegar water,
just about tablespoonful to basin of
water, before the final rinse. This keeps
them soft and fluffy, just as it does the
hair when vinegar or lemon Is used in
rinsing. l have also used the vinegar
rinse in the Winter when I am wash
ing out the baby's little wooden gar
ments, and 1t has just as nice an effect
on them as 1t does on the silk gar
ments.

Wedding Pageants Are

No matter how many times girl
has seen a wedding there are always
questions which bob up when she Is
getting ready for her own. Take the
matter of entering the church, the dis
position of the party at the altar and
the order in which the party files out,
for example.
Nancy had answered questions re-
garding these points so many times
that she finally had diagram made
which showed the positions plainly.
Suppose we look at it.

Ny Neighbor Says:

Keep the copper coils in a gas
burner clean by using a brush or
cloth once week. SCOT acts as
an insulator and considerably less
gas is required TO get hot water
when the coils are clean.
To clean a stovepipe, place a
piece Of zinc on the Goals of a
hot stove. The vapors arising
from this will carry of the SCOT
by chemical decomposition.
When making a fruit tart, mix
a little corpstarch with the sugar
before adding it. This will make
the juice thick and prevent It's
boiling over.
In a custard recipe calling for
several eggs, one or more may be

of forbidding them, welcome them and

education as fine as any you can con-
jure.
Then there are funny bits in story
books. Pick them out and make the
children familiar with them. And the
movies have lots and lots of laughs in
them. The child that does not go to
the movies is rare, as we would better
share with them whatever they offer
and try to utilize it for the children's
good.
Make certain that there is plenty of
fun in the ration of reading Plenty
of fun in the table talk Plenty of fun
in the recreation time. Fun is the food

it. Life is chock full of it and only
