Long Skirts
Perhaps you haven't noticed it,
but American women are doing
an extremely interesting .thing
right now 1. e., .refusing to lis
ten to the dictates of Parisian
fashion designers.
Many, many months ago so
long, in fact, that it seems ages
ago Paris dictated that skirtl
should be short. They were.
And how short only newspaper
folk, who had to (or wished to)
write yards and yards about them,
only knew.
But, as time went on, Paris
made another decision, i. e., that
skirts should be long again. AVid
here was where American women
rebelled. They lengthened their
skirts past the ridiculous middle
knee length, but no further would
they go.

, The Home of No Trash
By LORETTO C. LYNCH.
Most homes contain little or
much trash. And it is not until one
starts to move or houseclean that she
discovers how many, useless things
she is harboring.
A bride of a year came to me the
other day with a confession. Said
she, "This housekeeping job is not
what story writers would have us
believe. I work just all the time
and you sinjply have to work all the
time if you. are to keep your house
in good order."
. She invited me to her home of
seven rooms and bath.
One entire room was devoted to
What Nots and other trash. It was
termed "The Den." And it was
laden to capacity with things from
a miniature of Cleopatra's Needle to
the proverbial, but decidedly tealistic
anchor. .
To make it a trashless home, it
would have been necessary to get
rid of nine-tenths of the encum
brances in that Den.
But there is another type of
trash hangar. It is the home in
which everything of no use is rele
gated to the unoffending bathroom
or guest (?) room or kitchen or
attic. ,
. Every housewife recognizes in her
heart that , there is trash of some
kind in her home. Why doesn't she
get rid of it? For, it takes real
courage to resist the heart throb
that comes to the born hoarder
when she parts with that worn-out
washboard when she makes off
with the mangy hairbrush, the peel
ing mirror, the ruined umbrella, the
headless doll, the trippy door-mat,
the time-worn brassy teaspoon and
the cracked plate.
In contrast: to the home cluttered
with trash, let me tell you about a
really beautiful home. At first you
wondered why you felt such sense
of restfulness. And soon you began
to realize that the charm ot this
home was due in great measure to
its lack of furniture and furnishings.
As vou entered, vou came into
the reception hall. On either side of
the fireplace was a built-in bookcase.
Thee was , one . large, delightfully
roomy divan, a built-in' window
seat, a willow arm-chair. And you
looked at thevivid Indian rug, on
the floor and your eye ' wandered
over unencumbered wallspace until
it rested-on one exquisite, soul-stirring
picture. And you just sunk into
a restful attitude and wished to stay
long, long in this charming room. ,
Here housekeeping was just like
playing house for it was a trashless
home. 1
A quick luncheon or dinner dish,
time saving, - for the woman away
from home is a casserole filled with
layers of carrots cubed fine, chopped
steak and potatoes sliced thin. Sea
son highly, add tomato sauce or
catsup, a few slices of onion and
bake one-half hour. A complete
first course is then ready to serve.
To save the time required for black
ing a stovepipe wipe the range off
daily with soft newspaper. The
grease spattered trom recipes
cooked on top burners, is sufficient
to keep the stove black and in good
condition if rubbed thus all over the
stove. . ' .

In those days of the Coffee House, noted in the bistorr of Old '

eighteen (18) different varieties of coffee and eight (8) different grades, so

Spicy Butter.
Cream four tablepoons of sweet
butter, and then cream into it one
half cup of confectioner's sugar,
soften with two level teaspoons of
cinnamon and a seant half teaspoon
of cloves. After these are creamed
together, grate a little nutmeg over
the whole, nd work it in.
This butter may be used for 'n
numerable things. It may be used
fo. an icing on inexpensive cakes,
and can be manipulated with great
rase in pipings. It a) ay be chilled
and u.ed as a hard sauce It may
be made up Into h.lts and ser-ed as
suggested to be spr?ad on hot liHle
tea cakes or muffins or even on
slices of hot egg breads, making
each slice a sort of coffee cake.
Never flavor a custard until cold.
A convenient slipper case is much
neater and saves many a fretful
moment when one wants a particular
pair of slippers. Cut a three-quarter-yard
square of plain, strong ma
terial such as denim or poplin, tut
two 10-inch strips of figured ma
terial, cretonne will go well with the
color of the plain material. Each
strip should be about one and one-
half inches longer than the square
so as to allow a slight fullness for
the pockets. Lay the ' first strip
wrong side up across the square
and 2li inches down from the top.
Stitch the lower edge securely to
the square. Turn it up to the right
side. Stitch the other strip to the
bottom edge. Bind the' top edges
of these strips with ribbon, tape or
bias hands of the plain material.
Stitch down the sides of the strips; !
at intervals of nine inches make two
rows of stitching to form the pock
ets. Bind this convenient slipper
case on all sides. Finish it with
two brass or enamel rings.

HIS year, above all others, perhaps, the most
appreciated gift will be the practical gift.
What gift then IS the practical one? ' This
, question should cause you very little annoyance, for
the practical gift is the one by means of which every
member of the family is benefited, "The Gift
Electrical."
Take as an example the Waffle Iron, or a Perco
lator, or the beautiful Reading and Floor Lamps
"The Gift Electrical" that makes the home brighter
or makes the housework a trifle lighter most
assuredly is attuned to the spirit of .Christmas
giving.
And to make YOUR Xmas shopping more enjoy
. able we shall, starting tomorrow, Monday, show
, "The Gift Electrical", in a great carnival of actual
demonstration. We have arranged to have three
of the nation's greatest home economists with us for
the holiday periodto show YOU these practical
gifts at work, to explain their economy and to assist
you with your gift selections.
Make it a point on your Xmas Shopping
Tour to visit these demonstrations. For
here you will find many suggestions
that will help you in your gift selections.
