Hints for Housekeepers

Use silk thread for basting velvet.
"As We sew We may rip" unless each
step of garment making is planned in
advance.
In washing silk stockings do not
wiring them to remove the water;
squeeze them and pat them between
towels.
A whisk broom is a good clothes
sprinkler; it gives a fine spray, sprin-
kles evenly, and is quicker than hand
sprinkling.
A piece of waxed paper folded over
the sharp edge of a knife before but
ter is cut, will keep the butter from
sticking to the blade.
A wire spoon-shaped whisk, or egg
beaten, is excellent for folding beaten
egg whites into a cake mixture or for
smoothing thin batters.
The best playthings for children of
all ages are those which provide ma
terials for interesting occupations.
such as buildings, sweeping, or snow
shoveling.
Thorough rinsing is as important as
thorough washing for successful laun-
dering. Soap or soda left in clothes
yellows them and increases their tend
ency to scorch when ironed.
Keep a package Of rubber bands In
the kitchen. They are convenient for
such jobs as keeping the cook book
open at the right page or holding the
waxed paper over a jar Of food.

Nellie Maxwell's Food Suggestions
hen cold it slices without waste of

When cold it slices without waste of
crumbling.
When food scorches while cooking,
set the dish in another of cold water
the steam rising from the food will
dissipate the scorched flavor lie 1t Is
not really burned.
To remove burned food from a dish
without scratching, add soda to cold
water and simmer until the food is
softened.
Aluminium dishes which have been
scraped will always have enough spots
to catch food and cause burning They
should be rebuffed or they will al
ways burn easily.
Lettuce, endive and such crisp green
foods should be served at once after
the dressing is added as they wilt
readily. Keep lettuce well washed. in
a thin bag of cheesecloth in the ice
chest. 1t will be ready at moments
notice to supply the salad.
Fruit Rolls.-Prepare q biscuit
dough and roll out one-quarter-inch
thick, spread with butter, corn or ma
pie strip, cinnamon, raisins and roll
up. Cut into slices and place close in
an oiled tin. Bake in a hot oven Is
minutes.
As the diet is restricted, If the same
food must be used, change it's ap-
pearance, even If it is but toast and
egg. Every thing should be perfect.

Use Plain Curtains if Paper Is Figured

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )-WNU Service.
The choice of curtains for any room
is determined by its use, the charac-
ter of the wall, and the other furnish
ings. If the wall paper is figured
there is already much color and design
in the room. To add more pattern. as
ually Of a different kind in the win
dow hangings would produce confusion
and restlessness. However, an interest
ing contrast may be secured, accord
ing to the bureau Of home economics
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture by using plain curtains
when the wall paper is figured. They
may repeat the background color of
the paper or one of the dominant
hues in the design.
The illustration shows a successful
window treatment for a room of this
kind. The ceiling Is rather low and
the divisions in the wall space tend
to make the window seem shorter than
it really is. For this reason simple
curtains were selected and made TO
emphasize the straight vertical lines.
The side draperies were finished at
the top with a french heading which
divided the fullness into well-defned
pleats. Shaped tie-backs were used
10 hold them in soft, graceful folds.
French heading hooks. such as are
described in Farmers Bulletin 1888
z, on Window Curtaining, were sewn
to the back Of each pleat and used to
attach the curtains to the rod.
The tan cotton poplin chosen for the
draperies Is slightly darker than the
deep creamy background of the paper
and blends with the lower part of the
wall and the woodwork. Deep ecru
dotted filet net was used for the glass
curtains. They were finished at the
top with an inch heading and a small
casing through which the rod was run.
The lower edge was finished with 2
inch double hem.

Evening Fairy Tale for the Children

dren, you must always wash your

'sThat makes 1t so much cleaner.
Father and Mother Raccoon are
very clean and care a great deal about
having their food fresh and nice and

"You can eat great many things,
continued Father Raccoon. You are
allowed eggs of all kinds, fish. frogs,
turtles and all sorts Of fruit and

The best of all you haven't men-
toned" said the Raccoon little ones.
"Ah, I am keeping it as surprise"
said Father Raccoon.
"Where are we goingT asked the
children.
Going where?" asked Father Rae
coon.
He acted as though he didn't know
what the children meant.
"Dear me-" sighed Mother Raccoon,
''the children know 60 much these
days.
"Yes, it was different in my time.

A state home management specialist
in extension work for women asked
several sewing club members in one
community TO make a simple apron,
and measure the distance walked while
they did so. One woman reported that
she walked 534 feet and had to go into
five rooms just to make that one SIM
pie garment. Another woman walked
524 feet and entered seven rooms.
Clothing specialists in the bureau Of
home economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture point out
that a few well-considered changes In
most instances would have saved many
of these unnecessary steps and also
cut down the time for making the
aprons or any other garments. Il
sewing is to be done pleasantly and
efficiently, sewing equipment and tools
should be grouped near each other.
Of course, in many homes a whole
room cannot be given up to sewing,
although this is very satisfactory when
it is possible. With thoughtful plan
ming a corner can often be found
where all the chief tools for sewing
can be kept together.
Some women do most of their sew
ing after the hard work of the day Is
over They are tired. and if the sew
ing equipment is not convenient their
fatigue is increased until sewing seems
a most irritating task Other women
have to "get the sewing in" as best
they can throughout the day. For
these it is particularly necessary that
there should be no lost motion hunting
for accessories or repeating work that
has been disarranged by much moving
about.
In some cases homemade sewing
cabinet is the answer to the problem
of centralizing the sewing equipment.
Each woman has her own ideas about
the details of such a cabinet II will
be useful If it provides shelves or
drawers for supplies and working
tools, file for patterns. drawers for
uncut material and hanging space for
half-fnished garments. A folding IRON
ing board and an iron for pressing are
often included.

but once they start every one starts
saying them-so that they become
sayings or well-known expressions"
swell, it is true" said Mother Rae
coon. I'VE are going to have a treat
and feast"
you have all learned your lessons
WELL" said Father Raccoon, land so
we are going TO have a treat.
And Mother and Father Raccoon,
and all the little Raccoons went off
for splendid feast.
But even at the feast they all
washed every bit Of food before they
ate it.
In fact they had their picnic by a
brook, and the Raccoon parents were
proud to see how well their children
had learned their lessons.

garments. For example, are you in

you can set TO work sewing, you must
walk TO your bedroom or some other
room that provides the good light you
require, low, comfortable chair, and
a place for your work basket. After
the preliminary basting or pinning,
