FROM THE
HOUSEKEEPER'S
NOTEBOOK
"Why Not Pave a Com
pany Closet?
h?
(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
VJes, I would like to bring a friend
hKne to iunch, but my wife is never
ready, says she does not have things
in tiie house for unexpected company
and it is so much bother," remarked
the business man.
"You ought to have a company clos
et like my wife has," answered B.
51. number two. 'I don't know how it
is, but Mamc always manages to get
something up if I bring people home
y.ithont warning. I asked how it was
one day. and she said she had emer
gency shelves."
So I asked Mame what a company
closet was. " 'A company closet? Oh,
it's two or three shelves in my pantry-
that I dvote to keeping goods that I
can use in an emergency. You know
I started in by doing light housekeep
ing and living with a chafing dish.
This taught me how to use prepared
food. Then I kept house and had
canned tomatoes to make soup if any
one came unexpectedly, but now I
keep quite an assortment of goods
ready for instant use.
"What are they? Well, to begin
with, (here are lots of things out of
which I can make sandwiches when
Hnb (urns up with au old friend from
the place he used to live in. and my
refrigerator is empty. There are all
sorts of canned pates, among them
chicken, wild, duck, grouse, partridge
and quaii. Then I keep canned lob-sti-r.
sardines in oil. shrimps, little
iiock clams and such things that vary
In price from 15 to 35 cents, and are
always ready to put in between thin
slices of bread and butter to make de
licious sandwiches. Out of the shrimps
and lobster I can make salad with my
bottle of salad dressing that is on the
same shelf.
"On another shelf I keep all sorts of
canned and bottled soups and it is
astonishing how many varieties there
are. All that is needed is to heat
them up, put in some celery salt if de
sired, ani thicken them with a little
macaroni, or one can use them with
out uiiy thickening at all. Among my
canned soups I have mock turtle, to
mato, ox tail, consomme, julienne,
chicken, ceJerj. vegetable, tomato and
okra, and beef. I buy these cans by
the dozen and get them in this way at
a reduction. They average ten cents
a can. When I am very particular I
open a can of green turtle soup or
clam chowder, but these cost more.
So you see I am all right as regards
jump in an emergency.
"When I do not want to follow my
eoup course with sandwiches I can
open some of my potted meats. I am
quite proud of the variety 1 have of
those for nearty every kind of meat
comes prepared in this way. For in
stance, corn beef comes for 15 cents
a can, good roast beef is 22 cents a
can. veal loaf, is a trifle cheaper. Be
sides these, I have ham loaf, hamburg
steak, chicken loaf, cooked turkey, Vi

tite frankfurters. 1 didn't know there

slock up my closet. But these aver

"Of course I have shelves with jel
lies and preserved fruits and when I
want more than I put up myself I find
I can get at least a dozen varieties
of jelly that are always in the mar
ket, orange marmalade, bar-le-duc
jelly, guava jelly and canned pineap
ple, cherries, plum and peaches. So
I am never at a loss in the matter of
sauces. To supplement these I keep
on hanoV different varieties of wafers
such as vanilla, fruit, cocoanut. etc.,
for often 7 have no cake in the house.
Thus you see I am provided with a
oup course, a meat or sandwich
course, and a dessert. At times I want
side dishes and for these I keep pea

wiches, jars of cheese, pots of made
mustard, olives, cheese sandwiches,
and lots of other fancy- goods that are
on the market When it cames to the
matter of something to drink, of
course I always have coffee and tea
in the house, but I also keep on my
emergency shelf a can of cccoa which
can be prepared easily and rapidly
and various fruit juices, like grape
and raspberry. These last are deli
cious in summer, served with ice. If
I happen to have a lemon in the house
I put in the juice. also. I always keep
in my company closet a box of nice
layer' raisins and two or three kinds
of nuts. These I use for dessert when
I do not have fruit -and wafers. Some
times I vary these with a jar of hocey.

TALKS TO SALESPEOPLE
By Miss Diana Hirschler, LL. B.
(Expert Trainer In Salesmanship.)
BOLSTERING UP A WOBBLY WILL.
Mrs. Fly-Away was certainly a try
ing customer. She had no sooner
said she liked a certain style when
another caught her eye and she al
ways insisted upon seeing it. In this
was, she see-sawed from one to an
other and. indeed, frequently left
without buying at all. True, yet I dare
say when she got home she felt quite
annoyed at not having anything to
show for shopping. She no doubt
wished then that she had bought the
plaid she had admired so much.
Now, it may be well to lament that
there are so many customers of this
type, but the duty of the salesperson
is to accept this fact and see how to
meet it not simply to call it "bad
luck."
When you engage yourself to this
kind of service you really engage to
deal with human nature ready-made.
Human nature unmakes itself only as
you meet it with a right understand
ing of its style.
Take the case of Mrs. Fly-Away.
Her need Is the need of many people
to have some one bolster up a wob
bly will to catch her up quickly when
she has actually reached the point of
decision.
You must take some distinct action
to accomplish this. You must say in
a decided tone, as if you were speak
ing for her, "I think you have picked
out just what you want," or something
similar. This wili prop up her de
cision. But you must remember this
is merely a prop else you will be dis
appointed for she will allow it to sus
tain her only for the moment
Recognizing the short-livedness of
your prop, pulling out your sales
book with decision, you follow it up
briskly with a closing remark: "The
name, please?" Before she has time
again to be distracted the matter is
clinched. After it is over she ap
proves of you. But if your method
is to let her wander at her own sweet
will she continues to be discontented
with what she has done and you are
made a part of her discontent.
A will that rests net when it actual
ly has arrived at the stepping-off place
is verj common. There is only one
thing for the seller to do with the
buyer in this case, that is for himself
to supply as far as possible the in
gredient or decisiveness in manner,
tone, statement, eliminating further
every circumstance that might disturb
or turn the trend of thought.
A lady asks to see dollar shirts for
an 11-j-ear-old boy. The sales' person
throws out on the counter one shirt
after another until there are eight or
ten different ones lying there. The
customer looks confused. She fingers
them all and gets further and further
from a decision. It is a question of
"were t other dear charmer away."
An inspection of the pile by a cool
looker-on displayed the fact that there
were in reality only two types of de
signs, the shirtings themselves being
the same.
Therefore the sales-perscr. need
only have thrown out a shirt with a
dark ground in blue for blue is the
most commonly desired. The cus
tomer then would have said: "I
wished a lighter colored shirt," or
"Have you no other color in that same
dasign? He has had so much blue."
In this way the sales-person very
quickly might have found what would
satisfy best without confusing the cus
tomer and making her forget what she
had ia mind when she approached the
counter.
The desirable thing is to sense what
the customer thinks she wants. If
you have something that you believe
will satisfy her better in the long run
show it intelligently and with effect.
If you have not. keep her to what she
had in mind by cautious and careful
display of the goods and finally help
to a decision with your own decisive
ness. When the customer asks for some
thing and you hesitate and finger your
own goods, looking about as if you did
not even know its alphabet, she be
gins to catch the trouble and gets into
a hesitating frame of mind.
But on the other hand, if you go at
once to your stuffs, as if you already
knew exactly and precisely what was
good for her, her mind begins to settle
down. Then, if your tones themselves
are confident in sound, she is still fur
ther reassured. You watch now her
facial expression, and catch by its
more alert, waked-up look that she is
beginning to find the thing sho wants.
A little further piloting on your part
brings her to where she expresses her
self favorably; then it is time for you
to make your decisive move, you fold
up the articleand accept her attitude
as final. It will be final, if you do not
distract her again.
Anyone who tends to become con
fused in making a choico of one among
many courses of action and who
among us does not? likes this treat
ment There is" always this proviso,
however, that you are square in your
dealings and sell your customer what
yo'i believe is the right thing for aim
to buy. This is a story by itself.

Garniture of Brass
. Buttons? Large aijd
Paver.6
It was natural that "with the return
of the consulate and directoire styles
in dress the brass button would play
an important part.
It is already here.- It is not only.
aworn on coats and skirts, but.it even,
fastens up the simple blouses for wear
under coats.
Large ones are used on rough cloths
and small ones on gowns of messaline,
also on" blouses of tricote, messaline,
chiffon ciftth and silk, flannel.
The American, brass button, with Its
symbols of armyand navy, is not used.
The fashionable one "is round and
smooth. It looks, like a bullet, and is
highly polished.
Tiny ones are also used on elaborate
indoor gowns, with quantities of gold
and silver lace, old gold embroider',
and metal soutache. It is a warlike
time in dress.
Not only are brass buttons revived,
but all manner of other wonderful
ones. These are the ornaments that
played such an important part in the
empire period.
Some of the new ones are of tortoise
shell, the .real shell, inlaid with small
rhinestones at the edge. These are
put on splendid gowns for theater and
restaurant wear.
Other buttons suggest Damascus.
They are oxidized silver and beaten
brass. There are others of jade set in
rims of platinum and large turquois
matrices bedded in brilliants.
The latter buttons of semi-precious
stones are more1 commonplace and ob
vious than those of tortoise shell and
Damascene brass.
Even the large satin buttons used
to fasten every manner of fabric are
heavily embroiderd in plain floss and
with gold and silver. Designs for
these are sold in the shops, and there
is a great deal of this kind of work
being done at home.
These buttons are by no means inex
pensive. They make the price of the
gown amount up to a good figure, al
though it must be said that the ulti
mate cost of clothes has lessened in
the last two weeks.
Whether the shopkeepers and dress
makers found out that women would
not pay exorbitant prices or whether
the entire cost of things is on a more
sensible scale than last year it is
hard to tell. But this is true that the
best gowns have undergone a trans
formation in price during the last few
weeks.
Feathers on Hat Crowns.
One of the popular devices for trim
ming large hats now is to use four
extra thick short plumes. The stems
of these are well cut off and the
feathers are mounted in the center
of the crown.
They fall to the brim, in an im
mense cascade quite covering the
crown. There is no other trimming
on the hat.
Single buttons at prices current in
jewelry departments are not at all unusual.

ONE is always glad of suggestions for pretty table decorations: and there
are many who have only simple things available, who will be glad of
this suggestion, as a most effective decoration can be made with a few
flowers, one glass vase, a glass or china plate, and four little jugs in which
cream is sold. Jugs with handles should be chosen. Thev are arranged at
equal distances round the base of the large vase, from the" neck of which to
the handles of the jugs hang festoons of ribbons. A piece of elastic will hold
the upper ends of the ribbon round the neck of the vase, and a very pretty
decoration can be made by twisting the leaves of a creeper round and round
the ribbons, and when the base of the center ornament and all the little jugs
are filled with flowers, it makes a wonderfully jrrettv decoration for the cen
ter of a dinner-table. Little ribbon ferns may be planted in the jugs, as they
thrive well and last a long time when planted in an undrained pot.
Sagging Skirts.
A skirt, even when properly made,
will sag in the wearing. This is
caused by the many bias lines. To
avoid this choose, if possible, a skirt
pattern with many gores, especially
if the skirt is to be worn continually
for office or street wear.
The many seams give added

fall in ugly lines.
In cutting out a skirt pattern there
is always one gore which follows the
line of the selvedge, and the opposite
side of the gore is bias. In joining the
gores together one bias edge must
always be sewed against one straight
edge to prevent the skirt from sag
ging: Caterpillar Lace.
It is said that a man in Munich has
devised an ingenious plan by which
caterpillars are made-to spin lace
veils from the leaves of plants. He
makes a paste of the plant that is the
usual food of the caterpillar, and
euixuds it thinly over a stone, or oth-

nrjerjiaL Women who do only a little fancy
needlework are making exquisite veil
cases which are both practical and or
namental. Many of the deft fingered
workers are planning several cases of
different colors and patterns for gifts,
knowing that the woman does not ex
ist who could fail to appreciate a trifle
so dainty and useful. The cases are
twenty or twenty-four inches in length
and about ten iii width. Two straight
pieces of silk by the yard or of very
wide ribbon form the bottom of the
case, the two sections being cut exact
ly alike, oue to go on the top and one
on the bottom, with a. little cotton
wadding and some sachet powder be
tween. The. case will lie flatter and
keep its shape better if the silk is
sewed over a foundation of blotting pa
per. This will retain the perfume
much longer than any other kind of
filling.
The upper part of the. case has two
sections which open from the center
like covers. These are made over blot
ting paper with cotton wadding and
sachet powder. The edges are sewed
neatly over and over, then finished
with a gilt or fancy cord or with a
French rose ribbon binding. Between
the bottom and the top are sides made
of wide satin ribbon shirred all around
the under section and fastened to the
upper covers. The two covers should
meet in the center, and if they are
supplied with silk cord loops and gilt
or jeweled buttons the case can be
closed and the veils kept quite neat.
The original idea has been enlarged
upon by one woman, who made a set
of satin-covered partitions a little
smaller than the dimensions of the
case to be slipped in between the dif
ferent colors of veils and thus keep
them separate. Instead of having to
go through all the veils to find the one
she wants, all she needs to do is to
look for the black, white, gray or blue
sections, and there are all her veils of
this particular color.
Dainty gold flowered brocades, ex
quisite pompadour silks and figured
satins are the favorite materials for
these cases. They are kept on top of
the long dressing table within easy
reach. If one is greatly devoted to
veils two cases will be found conveni
ent, one for automobile veils and the
other for dress veils.

232EE IJl HEBRTQF LONDON
There is a tree in Cheapside, Lon
don, that may be described as the
most expensive of its kind on earth,
if live-dollar gold pieces filled the en
tire trunk and live-dollar bills fluttered
in the place of every one of the
leaves, it would not buy the land it
occupies. For the laud on which it
stands, the northwest corner of Wood
street and Cheapside. is worth $4,500,
000 an acre. The tree has stood on
this spot for more than 200 years;
meanwhile its site has augmented in
value to almost fabulous proportions.
There have been several hard-fought
law-suits over this plot of ground, the
light having been carried even to the
nonse ot lords: but, so tar, the law
yers have never been able to break
through the phalanx of enactments
which preserve the tree. In the first
place, there is a law in England which
prohibits builders from putting up a
structure which shall keep out the
light from windows which bear the
mysterious wrds, "Ancient Lights."
This tree in Cheapside is literally sur
rounded by a number of ancient lights
proprietors, whose consent has never
been obtained when it came to cutting
down the tree and putting a modern
stricture on its site. For the same
rer.son, the storekeeper who rents the
tiny two-story structure on the corner
just in front of the tree has never
been able to put his building up be
yond its present height. Some years
ago, one builder, who thought himself
more cute than the others, star'ed to
take the law into his own hands and
put up a building, thinking to arrange
with the owners of the ancient lights
afterward. But lie was met with a
perfect shower of injunctions, pro
ceedings, writs and indictments, more
than would have covered the tree in !
its full spring bloom.
A few years ago. some gardeners
were ordered to lop off certain limbs
of the tree which hung over Cheap
side. It was done really to save the
life of the tree, and had the consent
of the parish clerk and churchward
ens of Saint Peter's, Cheapside, the t
ancient little Norman church in Fos
ter Lane, near by. who guard this
tree from the vandals' clutches. When
the men began to work on the tree,
however, it created a sensation in
Cheapside. "They are chopping down
our tree," went up from a thousand
angry throats in the district. Poiice
meu were called and there would have
been another shower of writs, injunc
tions and proceedings had not the
minister of the parish explained the
real reason for the lopping operations.
Another almost impassable barrier
which protects the tree in its position
is the fact that it grows in sacred
ground. There is a law in London
that no building can be erected on
sacicd ground without special act of
parliament, and woe betide the un
happy man who dares to put up even
a shanty within the sacred precincts
of a graveyard iu England.

This particular corner of Cheapside
is back of the general post oilice and
one of the finest pieces of real estate
in the world. With the tremendous
difficulties that stand in the way of
its being built over the sanctity of
the land itself and the power of the
Ancient Lights statute it is probable
that this i iece of ground will remain
unimproved for another century or
two. In a recent interview the mana
ger of the real-estate agents, who con
trol nearly all the land in the district,
declared that "the old tree in Cheap
side occupies a position which is likely
never to be built upon. There would be
a perfect howl of execration from all
sides if anyone were to attempt to
put up a modern "building there; for
vVood street itself is so narrow that
the people on botli sides of the street
have a right to claim ancient lights,
and tiie builder who went in for im
proving this property would have to
square so many people that he would
