"A Catch-An Sheet

When you set Baby in his high
chair and give him q cracker, have
large piece Of muslin to spread
out under the chair and it will
catch all the crumbs he drops. This
can be gathered up and shaken
outdoors afterwards, and you will
be saved the job of sweeping
up the crumbs and raising a dust
in the room
The catchall sheet can be spread
out when the little ones sits down
to eat popcorn, or piece OF
bread and butter, or spread it un-
der their places at table, or under
your sewing table when you are
cutting out a new garment. It is
great laborsaver in q home.
Having one, you will think Of
numerous uses for it; as a dust

the porch, or a spread to throw
over the bed when the children
romp on it.

Fabric Characteristics

Cotton is strong and elastic
handlers easily; is not readily
affected by heat or the alkali OF
soaps; dyes well, is inexpensive;
d;ssolyes almost completely in a
.olution Of sulphuric acid.
Linen is strong and durable; is
snowy white when bleached; is
smooth and glossy when laun-
dered; is a good conductor of
heat; absorbs moisture quickly;
wrinkles easily; does not retain
stains as persistently as cotton.
Because of these traits it is a
splendid material to wear in hot
seasons. Touch the goods with
glycerine. If it is transparent, it
is linen; if opaque it is cotton,
Practical housewives tell the diff
ference by wetting the finger with
the lips and touching it to the
under side of the goods. If the
moisture shows through readily
and spreads, it is linen. Cotton
will not so easily absorb the mois-
ture and it will not quickly show
through.
Wool is not good conductor Of
heat. Because it retains it, it IS
a good material to wear in cold

Reducing

A good way to reduce is to
exercise; and the most necessary
exercise is exercise Of the will
power. To lose inches from that
too generous wastline, it is nee
essary to live on such meals as
these:
Breakfast-half a grape fruit,
slice of thinly buttered toast, cof-
fee with hot SKINNED milk and
no sugar.
Dinner small serving lean
meat, cooked vegetable, small
baked potato without butter, a
sherbet for dessert.
Supper salad, whole wheat
roll, glass of buttermilk
The articles Of diet may vary,
but their calory content must cor
respond to this if you are to stuff
off pounds.
Then there is exercise. Put
on your walking shoes and walk
brisk mile and back, or better
yet, play eighteen holes Of golf or
help hubby make hay.

A Party Menu

A dainty, delicious and not
over-fussy party or wedding
menu might consist of fruit salad,
cheese sandwiches, punch; fancy
ice cream in molds with white
frosted, individual sponge cakes
and coffee; and sailed nuts. For
the salad, use gelatine molds; and
add cooked pineapple, peaches,
white and red cherries and lemon
juice to the gelatine mixture
For the sandwiches, add pimen-
to-stuffed olives to cheese and
use slice each Of white and
brown bread for each sandwich.
Fruit juices for the punch might
be: lemon, grape, pineapple and
cherry juice.

NEW COMPLEXION
 FOR TOWER CLOCK

The New Haven road Is doing more than planting roses along its route to brighten up things and make the Naugatuck Valley look better. It has now turned its attention to the clock in tho railroad tower in Waterbury, which seems to have been Ovcr- looked for some time. The four faces of the timepiece will be done over in aluminium so that they can be seen to better sd. vantage, something which can- not be done at present.
 After the job is finished, 1t would be a good plan fof the railroad officials to have a con- ference with Mayor Hayes and see what can be done so that the clock will be heard once in a while. Many would like to hear 1t strike at noon and at 9 o'clock in the evening.
 Anyway. even though nothing more should be done than giv- ing q good clean face 1t will be greatly appreciated.
