Giving Service for Other Homes

own family duties in such service. She
can remain the homemaker OF her own
domicile and be in the home at the time
she is most needed there. To be sure
the income from her work will not be
large, but it will help the family purse
amazingly. Small amounts coming IN
with regularity are not to be lightly
considered. In the long run they
amount to as much as larger sums in

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.

THIs very full, large handwriting
would seemingly indicate
breadth of vision and spirit that
would make the writer the ideal
mother type. Apparently she
cares little for the petty details of life,
but is interested in comprehensive ideas
that would influence perhaps an entire
lifetime. If she does have children,
they are indeed fortunate, for she prob
ably would be interested In all of their
juvenile problems. She would perhaps
seldom lose patience, no matter how
sorely tried.
The very long lower loops such as
used on the "p' and "g" illustrated
would possibly denote very practical
disposition. She probably plans her
life far in advance, making efficient use
of her time. BY carefully arranging
the necessary routine work, she is per-
haps enabled to have greater time for
creative work and recreation.
In her home we should probably find
no furbelows. She may prefer the
Colonial style Of architecture and
furnishings, delighting in its sturdy yet
graceful plainness AS an outgroWth OF
this study she might enjoy the making
interesting and profitable paStime. By
so doing she could fashion original and
distinctive floor coverings for her home
that would fatter her other furnishings
She is perhaps interested in modern
ideas of health and nutrition. Though
she NAV concentrate her knowledge on
the proper feeding of her family, 1t
would be entirely possible for her to
widen her field. Restaurants and hotels
are always on the LOOKOUT for intelh-
gent dietitians who can introduce novel
ideas in food making. Many schools
and colleges now offer courses In
dietetics which may be taken in the
evening or by correspondence.

print and use it with some lace paper
and then frame it?"
The girls raised numerous objections.
Finally they Gid work out scheme
which was most satisfactory.
First they took their flower print and
scalloped the edges Of the margin OF
white paper on the print.
Then tr.cy laid it over lace paper
dolly of approximately the same gen.
eral shape That is, an oval flower
print was not laid on a round paper
dolly.
Then they laid this over a piece OF
cardboard which had been covered with
gold paper having a margin or mat of
gold. TIE whole thing was put in a
frame of black touched up with gold.
They liked the one so well they made
a CON panion piece.
AS they worked with the idea, 1t was
suggested they might use silver paper
in place of gold they might tint the
frame in soft green or the predominant
color of the flower print.
Lacking old flower prints, they might
use a lowered spray from wall paper,
from a garden and seed catalogue. even
from a piece of glazed chintz.
If they needed large bouquet, they
could cut it from pieces Of colored paper
or combine sprays from a number OF
sources.

My Neighbor Says:

When frosting cakes put the
frosting in the center. frost the
top of the cake first, working out
from the center to the edges
with knife or the back of a
silver spoon. Next frost the
sides.
If lemons are left in hot water
several minutes before squeezing
then more juice will be obtained.
When cleaning cooking uten-
sils with wire wool, if you wrap
the wool around a stiff brush it
will be much easier to handle.
If you wish to get the full fla
vor of coffee it should be finely
ground and measured in stand
ard measuring spoon. Use two
level teaspoonfuls to each cup Of

Spots on Furniture.

If you are so unfortunate as to find
white spots on your best furniture, get
a soft CLOTH dip it In alcohol, and rub
softly and carefully over the spot until
it is obitersted. then use olive oil and
pumice stone of fine grade to restore
the luster. This is successful when all
other methods fail.

or in the practice of homemaking. This
ability may come into good use now, for
today hundreds of women are doing
their own houseWork, getting along
without servants in the home, yet they
are in need of some extra help. Such
assistance it may be quite possible for
woman to give even though she has
her own home to care for. BY good

such intermittent help.

Enlarged Pores.

and I have enlarged pores on

can I do to correct them?
Shall I use an astringent lotion after
washing my face with soap and water?
MRS. G. F. E.
Answer-Errors In diet are some
times the cause of enlarged facial pores.
Avoid heavy, rich foods and include
more raw fruits and fresh green vege-
tables in your diet. For external treat
ment you may use the oil facial fol-
lowed by aStringent congresses on the
parts of the skin affected After cleans
ing the face pat on mild aStringent
or skin freshener and allow 1t to dry
on the skin. AS your skin is inclined
to dryness you do not need a strong
astringent, but a good skin tonic or
lotion. Please send me a selfad-
dressed, stamped envelope and ask for
my leafet on the care Of dry skin
and enlarged facial pores.
