Drudgery in
the Home
By LORETTO C LYNCH.
."By tlx tim I cook tint timet
a day, do ih cleaning and the laun
dry work and drei the children for
school and change them when they
come home, I'm io tired that I do
not want to do anything but fall
into bed. I cannot afford a maid,
nor even a helper once a week; but
life doei not look good to me any
more, and I am eager for lome prac
tical, not theoretical, suggestion."
Offhand, I think you cook too
often. Not to mention the fact that
no child old enough to bo to school
ahould be dressed by any one ave
rmvelf. It takes patience to teach
a child to dress, but it it time well
spent Get rid of things that re
quire much cleaning. Either send
your washing to a commercial rough
dry laundry, of which there arenany
everywhere doing excellent work at
reasonable prices, or, if you must
do it yourself, invest in a washing
machine and mangle.
To reduce time and effort spent
in cooking you must plan your
meals on paper. Since you want
' something very definite, suppose you
look carefully at this plan for three
days:
SATURDAY.
Breakfast Sliced oranges, oat
meal, milk toast, butter, coffee or
cocoa.
Luncheon Cream of potato soup,
bread and butter, baker apple, tea
or milk.
Dinner Roast liamburg loaf,
baked potatoes on half shell,
creamed carrots, cold slaw, cake,
coffee.
SUNDAY.
t Breakfast Baked apples, top
"milk, ready-to-eat cereal, toast and
abutter, coffee.
Dinner Vegetable soup, roast
lamb, mashed potatoes, canned peas,
fruit gelatine, coffee.
Supper Cold sliced lamb, pickles,
potato salad, cut cake, canned fruit,
tea.
MONDAY.
The meal will be leftovers from
both Saturday and Sunday.
When cooking the oatmeal cook
enough to serve on- Saturday morn
ing and again on Monday morning.
When baking, plan to use the oven
to capacity. Bake enough apples to
fast Sunday morning. Bake pota
toes and have hamburg roast and
the lamb in at the same time. In
preparing potatoes for the cream
soup, boil enough to be made into
mashed potatoes for Sunday dinner
and salad for Sunday evening. Make
enough cake to serve two days. Cut
it in half. Serve the cake iced one
day and the other half might be
served plain or sprinkled with pow
dered sugar the second day.
The baked potatoes should be cut
in half lengthwise and allowed to
cool. The white part should be
scooped out with a spoon, mixed
with butter, chopped parsley and
sufficient milk to moisten, as well
as salt and pepper, and then packed
lightly back into half the number of
shells, to be reheated when the lamb
is put back into the oven on Sunday
morning for its last 20 minutes of
roasting. ,
Thus, by cooking for two hours
or so on Saturday morning, you ac
complish, by planning, the prepar
ing of sufficient food for six or seven
uroay, cooica ana cniuea in tne re
frigerator, to be reheated in a mo
ment on Sunday.' And who does not
want a Sunday off to go to church
or out for a walk or for enjoying
a concert or a picture show? Try
planning and cooking less often. You
will be surprised how much free
time this plan gives you.
When Silence Is
Golden
To some persons to say that a per
son is noisy is just another way of
saying that he is ill-bred. Noisiness
goes hand in hand, with bad breed
ing, and it really seems as if one
of the things that mankind acquires
as he achieves civilization is a de
gree of silence, or at least he learns
to control his noisiness. The sav
age calls and halloos and shrieks to
express his emotions, Whereas if the
civilized man uses his lungs he does
so in a regulated way and calls it
singing. In the ordinary little
everday activities of life he tries to
go his way noiselessly. The man
who wears creaky shoes or heels that
thump every time he takes a step,
who slams doors and bangs the fur
niture as he goes about, is usually
not a well bred man.
But the activity above all else in
which well bred men and women
are supposed to be absolutely noise
less is in eating. In the serving of
lour meals we provide for perfect
silence. The cheap, ill-managed
restaurant gives forth a constant din
and clatter of cjishes and china. The
waiters call out the orders and there
is general noisiness. The perfectly
appointed dining room is especially
designed to eliminate all noises.
Waiters and waitresses learn to move
silently and to handle dishes so that
there is no clatter.
So, too, in determining the correct
and the incorrect way of managing
our knife and fork or of eating any
sort of food we always choose in
favor of the noiseless way. We take
tea or coffee from a cup and soup
from a spoon in the way in which
we are least likely to utter a sipping
noise. We handle our knife and
fork in the way in which we are
least likely to scrape against the
plate. Children naturally make a
great deal of noise about their eat
ing. We do not always realne that
it is only as the result of consider
able effort on our own part that we
arrive at our present condition 'of
noiselessness.
It would not be too much to say
that the ability to remain silent when
necessary is the test of good breed
ing. The man or woman who shifts
noisily about in a chair in a public
place, who whispers and nrops a
program, sighs aloud and shuffles the
feet at the theater, is lacking in good
breeding. So. too, the man or wom
an who makes no effort to repress
a Yawn or a sneeze is not a little
deficient in breeding.

We show today a charming suit of
blue poplin for the girl of from 12
to 16. This is lined with red wool
showing in the revers of the jacket
and repeated in the two bands en
closing the plaited section of the
skirt. Silver braid on the short
jaunty jacket and silver buttons to
gether with gray squirrel complete
the charm of this unusual little cos
tume.
Incidentally, one may mention that
neither for young nor old has the
plait abdicated its position in fash
ion. For example, some of the new
est of the knitted sports suits show
a plaited skirt with a plain jacket..
And the pin tucks of the Rolande
collection have exerted a consider
able influence on present day modes.

Courtesy From the
Hostess at the
Open Door
Courtesy should characterize the
manner of receiving callers at the
door, whether the culler be a deliv
ery boy, a book agent or friend.
If a maid opens the door she should
be instructed in the same politeness
at would be shown by the mistress.
From the delivery boy the maid or
mistress takes the package proffered
with a kindly "Thank you," and then
closes it She does not slam it. She
listens courteously to the agent't
first explanation it takes no longer
and then, if there is really no hope
that the agent can' make any tales,
the tayt, quite emphatically, still
courteously: "I am torry, but we do
not wish to buy any books" or
perfume, or extracts, as the case
may be, and then closet the door
again. There is no discourtesy in
refusing entrance to an agent, but
there really is discourtesy in per
mitting him to enter only to sho
rudeness to him by way of dismiss
ing him.
The Card Tray.
When the door Is opened by a
well-trained servant who is specially
detailed to that duty, a small card
tray is held in the left hand while
the door is opened with the right.
When the caller has given the name
of the person he or she wishes to
see the servant precedes the caller
to the reception room or drawing
.room, opens tne door ana says,
"Will you please be seated, madam
or sir1. It no card has been placed
on the tray the servant then says,
"What name, sir?" or madam, and
then goes to announce the caller.
The servant al.vays returns again
to the drawing room. If the host
ess is to be delayed for more than
three or four minutes the servant
is usually instructed to say some
thing like this: "Mrs. Brown is en
gaged, but she will be down in five
minutes." In case the hostess is to
be delayed more than the length of
time she usually, sends down a more
definite apology. expla;ning that she
is dressing or being fitted by the
dressmaker, as the case may be.
Announcing the Guest
When the hostess is in the draw
ing room the maid or man servant
precedes the caller to the door and
announces the name of the caller in a
voice just loud enough to be heard
by the hostess. The servant does
not give the card to the hostess on
such an occasion, but places' it in a
card receiver usually placed con-

venicntly in the hall. If the servant
is in doubt as to the caller she does
not usher her at once into the draw
ing room when the mistress is al
ready receiving there, but politely
proffering a chair in the hall or re
ception room first hands the mis
tress the card or gives the name.
In the family with no maid or
with one maid of all work it is usual
for the busy housewife to entrust the
opening of the door to one of her
older children. She should make
sure that the child permitted to per
form this task knows the courteous
way to do it. It is just as rude for
a child to call the name of a caller
upstairs as it would be for a servant
to do so.
When You Open the Door.
The hostess opening her own door
extenda her hand to her caller as
soon as the door is clpsed, or even
while she is closing it if this is pos
sible. She precedes her guest into
the drawing room or sitting room
and then proffers her a omfortable
chair, offering to take any wraps
that the caller wishes to lay aside.
When the doorbell rings again, if
there is no one in the house to an
swer it for her, the hostess simply
says, "Please pardon me," or "I am
sorry there is no one to answer the
bell," and then returns as soon as
possible to the caller.

duster, cut a good grade of cheese
cloth in squares of a suitable size,
then dip them in turpentine. Hang
them up in air until the fumes have
evaporated and you will have a good
dustless duster.
