'ooks are rented, no training is needed.
You get job in one if you can. In
such libraries a thorough knowledge Of
current books Is a help. I know one
such library that Is good and that
makes money. The woman who owns
it knows everything that's inside her
books. She also knows the tastes of
her customers. She knows which man
likes a detective story, and which a
war book, and which poetry. She knows
which woman likes a love story, and
which one likes biography. It's that
combination she has Of knowing her
customers and knowing her books that
makes her so successful.
For the other kind Of library work
that Is, the public library or fine pri-
vate library-a hong training Is neces-
sary. There are schools for Librarians
in the country, and 1t takes several
years to take the course. The pay for
Librarians Is small, but the positions
are likely to be permanent.
The librarians who seem to enjoy
their work most are women in charge
of the children's departments in the
big public libraries. The children have
great faith in them, and they like to
direct the children's reading.
In all this work, you don't get a
chance to do much reading. If what
you want Is to read good many books,
buy them or get them from the library,
and let some one else run the show.

Your Baby and Mine


New foods, when first introduced into
the child's diet, are offered in such
small quantities that 1t becomes daily
problem to know how to avoid waste
fulness. No doubt the following ques-
tions, asked by Mrs. r. @. K, have
occurred to many Of you. please tell
me how shall manage these food
problems" she writes. MY baby is just
beginning to take egg yolk. I am Civ
ing one teaspoonful a day. Can I beat
up the yolk, put 1t in a covered cup in
the electric refrigerator and use 1t again
next day?
when make soup-and isn't 1t
difficult to make such small Quanti-
ties-can use this for two or even
three days II i1is kept very cold?
"Is it harmful when the cereal Is
made of part milk, as in your recipe, 10
keep this for more than one day?
what should be done with frozen
milk? Is 1t harmful to give this to the
baby after 1t has melted?
Can I use canned vegetables the
second day?
"a friend of mine gave me part of a
bottle of cod liver oil she used last year.
Apparently 1t is all right. Do you think
1t would be dangerous to use 1t? Thank
you so much for your trouble, Mrs. FL
bred"
with eggs at their present low price
there seems little necessity for using
them the second day. Buy the fresh
est of eggs, separate the yolk and white,
use the white for frosting, to clear
coffee, to beat into a pudding or to
make meringue. There are only about
four teaspoonfuls of egg in the average
yolk, not much of loss If you do throw
it away.
You may escape the inconvenience Of
every-other-day soup-making by pur-
chasing the small cans Of soup manu-
featured just for babies. Ask for these
at your grocer's or druggists. II you
make soup for the whole family once
or twice weekly, and for baby, leave a
portion unseasoned except for little
salt, you may use this for two days.
Keep it en- ice and before serving bring
1t to boil again. Treat cereal the
same way, though 1t Is less appetizing
warmed over.
You may treat canned vegetables as
you do the canned or homemade soup.
Keep it in q covered china or glass
container, and before using bring to a
boil. The success of these procedures
depends entirely on the temperature OF
your refrigerator.
Frozen milk very often makes baby
sick. The only cause I know for this
is that freezing does some strange thing
to the distribution of the cream. For
adults the milk can be thawed out very
slowly and used in cooking. I would
not use 1t for baby's bottle formula or
for children to drink. If you have this
trouble daily, either change the hour Of
your milk delivery so that you can take
in the milk Immediately or else use I'M
sweetened canned milk.
1t is possible for any oil to grow
rancid after 1t has been opened. Be-
cause of the cod liver CHS persistent
odor, Just judge by smell alone might
not be a safe criterion of its condition.
Since it is only part Of a bottle, why
take chance? Buy fresh bottle.

SMART TANDEM PATTERN cRosssTTToH
PURPOSES

The tandem coach Of bygone days
is one of the most interesting of the
old-time vehicles for reproduction in
stitchery. The one illustrated today is
full Of the spirit of antiquity. 1t fits
in charmingly with the present vogue
for silhouette pictures worked in cross
stitch on canvas. The rhythm Of the
design is artistic.
The two housekeeping horses in the
tandem are held well in hand by the
coachman, whose whip is wound, CIV
ing evidence that the place suits his
wishes. One lady of high degree Is
clearly glimpsed inside the coach; the
men being seated, as was the correct
ruling of coach etiquette in those far
away days.
Two marvellous English coaches re-
main and are used IN London to this
day. It was my good fortune one year
to see the lord mayor of London ride
in hts Inauguration parade In the one
used on such occasions. 1t Is the Oldest
In England, dating back to 1857, and is

Mrs. Hooty. Stout and hardy folk are
Mr.. and Mrs. Hooty, and they do not
wait for the coming of sweet Mistress
Spring. By the time she does arrive
Hooty's children are half grown. It is
in Midwinter that Hooty and Mrs.
Hooty decide where they are going to
have their home and set about prepar-
ing it for the season.
They are opportunists. That means
that they believe in making the most
OF any opportunity they come across.
So they rarely go to the trouble of
building a whole new nest According
to their ideas that would be sheer
waste of time and labor, when they
know just where there is a home all
ready, or almost all ready, to move right
into. So they took over last years

other member of the Hawk family, and

None of the other feathered folk had

Hooty began sitting on two big eggs

A number of the honest folk knew

He was just about to turn away when

So, there were young Owls up in that

they had more than they could eat
