Household Methods
Visitors Who Cook.
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

You have often asked a friend TO
come and spend the afternoon sewing
with you, but did you ever think of
asking one of your friends to come
round and cook with you?
Perhaps she knows less about cooking
than you do Then she will surely like
to have the advantage of your superior
knowledge. While you do the tasks that
cali for more skill she can beat the
eggs. sift the -four and grease the tins.
Or if she Is more skillful than YOU then
you can do these simple tasks while
she gives directions.
Crullers. cookies, pies, cakes may all
be made much more easily when there
are two. and there is a saving of labor
and Of fuel when double quantities are
made. II you have reached the point
where you rather dread the weekly
baking and where you have decided to
buy everything you want at the delica-
lessen or the bakery in order not to
have to do the cooking yourself, just
with some housewife friend Of yours
who is also beginning to feel q little
bored with her cooking.
The question of dividing expenses
should not be difficult one to ar
range. You can easily figure the cost
of butter. eggs and other expensive In
gradients and the staples such as bak-
ing powder. spices, and other season.
ings needs not be considered.
Washing up after your cooking bout,
which usually seems such a nuisance,
will be much easier If there Is some
one to dry the dishes and help you to
put them away.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

For example, suppose we plan ward
robe for q short, rather stout woman
In her late fifties, with gray-blue eyes
and light brown hair streaked with
gray. Brown in q dark shade would
Be pretty for her Winter coat, with fur
of a lighter shade. Her hat might be
of felt in dark brown, with light brown
applique or a fiat feather ornament in
brown, orange and tan. Her scarf may
repeat the same color scheme, and her
shoes may be dark suede, with stock
ings q shade or two lighter. to match
fur and gloves.
Under the coat she may wear heavy
silk dress of the same shade with low
V-shaped neckline filled with creamy
lace. A carnelian, amber or topaz
necklace and rings or a heavy, old
fashioned chain would do for jewelry.
She will need q wool frock too, and
it may be Of o dull old blue tweed
with cream flecks in 1t. A narrow
gray hose. silver chain with blue
neutrality-suspicious. a butterfly wing or
small sapphire in dainty filigree set
ting, and large, clear aQuamarine In
a white gold ring complete the costume.
II she wears glasses, the frames should
be Of chased white gold.
Navy blue is always smart, especially
In sheer wool in q long tunic effect,
with a vest of embroidered silk or me-
tallic cloth and touches of nat fur at
neck and cuff. The vest may be me-
dunn blue embroidered with an eyelet
design In silver thread, or 1t may be
silver cloth with plenty Of blue In 1t.
The fur may be black or gray.
AS q rule, house frocks may be gayer
than more formal ones. Medium blues
In checks or small figures, blue violet,
rust, tan, small bright floral prints, all
are suitable. Usually greens are not
becoming unless the complexion Is
smooth and fresh, but may be used in
combination with warmer colors. Soft,
dull rose and brick red are good.

Your Baby and Mine
sY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The schedule of a real mother doing
real work is always more helpful than
even the best of made-up schedules. To
regulate ones housework so that all
necessary work is done at the same
time each day relieves the mother of
that daily decision whether she had
better wash the dishes or wait until
after the beds are made. Regulated
work becomes almost automatic, and,
like all automatic activities, gets done
far more quickly, with less wear and
tear on the nerves.
1T am sending this schedule, not as a
matter of personal PRIDE" writes Mrs.
M. o. NJ, but because results have
been so satisfactory. My days are as
alike as two peas, with the exception
that If for any reason am gone

10 months old, trained, walks, has 16
teeth and weighs 80 pounds. MY
schedule is as follows:

WINTER

Scenery in Winter is put to the acid
test. without embellishments of green
cry, Requirements of soft Summer haze
or outrageous Establishments of Au-
turnnal color, the landscape is reduced
to form and line. Anything really vul-
gar In the landscape will show right
through the leafiless vegetation. Thus
the ugliness of the drumlin country
around Boston cannot be camoufaged
In Winter, when dusty snow and mucky
fields are held up before the eyes by
the steep drumlins and houses perched
on their sides look as absurd as they
are. On the other hand, much seem
cry that Is snothered in vegetation in
Summer and looks just like any other
place comes into its own subtle lines
and refinements in Winter, like the
country south and west of Philadelphia
And there are many parts of adjacent
Virginia and Maryland that axe most
enchanting at this very moment.
Scenery as a part Of Nature came in
for the enthusiasm and even the careful
description Of eighteenth and early
nineteenth century naturalists. They
spelled their Nature with a capital IN"
1t was not only not carefully walled off
into "ologieS," between which only the
scientists ran carrying messages, but a
distinction was not even made between
Tic SCIeTCe Oh CIle 1IldIllInaCS, ike the
stars and the rocks, and the sciences OF
living things. like botany and zoology.
To the old-fashioned naturalist q
country's scenery was worthy of respect
and description. It represented to him.
in q subtle and yet most symphonic and
almost allegorical way, the synthesis of
most of the separate ologieS-the geol-
ogy, meteorology, geography and flora
mot to say the anthropology, ethnology
and sociology Of man inhabiting the
scene, whose browsing flocks, whose
homes sending up smoke in the frosty
air, whose destroying ak and whose
grain-sowing hand all went to make
the scenery what It was).
Somewhere in the scenery of the
countryside dwelt, for the old natural
lists, a spirit of nymph or genius loci
that epitomized the history and nat
ural history Of the region. I wonder II
something was not lost in rejecting this
point Of view. Colorado, New Mexico
Maine, in their types of scenery, still
tell their stories the longer you gaze on
them. So, too, the scenery Of England,
OF Normandy, of Italy and Switzerland
Thus the mournful beauty of Virginia
woods and fields, yes, even the swamps
and the mud, as well as the nostalgia,
etched line of the Blue Ridge seen far
away. tell all about her-her history
and her pcople, her tortuous geology,
her changing geography, her old, old
flora. Maryland has smarter sprucer
look. It is a merry scenery, merry
people, untouched by the forces of
tragic destiny, devoid also of some of
Virginia's romance.

FOOD PROBLEMS
By SALLY MONROE.


Crackers-biScuits as some people
call them-are surely among the COM
forts CT the modern housewife. They
have always been a great convenience,
doubtless, even when there were fewer
varieties to choose from and rely on.
The old soda crackers certainly were
a help. But nowadays! What wealth
of them we have.
For instance, the salad is little I'M
substantial, and you want to add to the
nourishing and satisfying qualities Of
that course All right. Have some cheese
crackers. Or spread some simple cracker
with yellow cheese and toast it in the
oven or broiler. Or spread crackers with
cream cheese and little jelly.
The dessert is a little unsubStantial.
All right Open a box of sweet crackers
of some sort. Or put marshmallow on
butter thin or ether simple cracker
and toast it in the oven. Serve 1t hot.
Or, for either salad or dessert, brown
crackers in the oven and serve them
hot. They are delicious, lightly buttered
and peppered, with salads. Just as de-
licious, unpeppered, served with apple
sauce or some other stewed fruit, or
with canned fruit. Children like them
as much as cake, usually, II they are
crisp, slightly warm and brown.
Thin crackers can be used to make
delicious sandwiches for party refresh
ments. 1t must be admitted they crum-
BILE a bit as you eat them. Their very
crisp deliciousness makes that in
evitable. But they are good for sand
witches, nevertheless. Spread them with
minced ham or chicken, nicely seasoned,
or with paste made from some canned
fish or from hard-boiled eggs, mashed
and chopped with melted butter, and
cream into a paste. The spread must
be fine and paste-like to spread well
between crackers.

Broiled Smells.

Split and bone six medium sized
smelts, brush with olive oil, broil for

Cover with cold water and let stand
for 20 minutes, then dry each piece
carefully. In frying pan fry out four
small slices of fat salt pork, then re-
move the scraps. Do not allow the fat
to get too hot. In this slowly cook and
brown the prepared potatoes. Keep
covered part Of the time. Sprinkle with
