Women's Interests
Short Cuts to House
keeping. Shortcuts in the household are as
desirable as they are anywhere else.
It is impossible for anyone but those
with the most elastic purses to get
household help of any kind. That
means, of course, the housewife has
to do more of her own work than
she has ever had td before."
Variety in meals is desirable, but
there is no good reason why the
family can't eat the same kind ot
cereal two days in succession. It
oatmeal is cooked for Monday, cook
enough for two days and leave it in
the kettle in which it was cooked.
Keep it in a cool place and then
heat it the next day. That saves
the Jrouble of cooking cereal two
days and the kettle in which it is
cooked is washed once instead of
twice. If the cereal is cooked in
an enamel or aluminum kettle that
is clean to begin with, it will keep
periectiy.
Perhaps the washing of one ket
tie one day doesn't seem much of a
saving to most people, but the
housewife, who has many other
things to do, will be glad of any
little amount of work that she can
save herself.
If it saves the housekeeper's time
to have a large roast one day in the
week and then use the cold sliced
meat on other days, she should do
that, even if it is expensive to buy
roasts. Cut down somewhere else.
The roast is not the only thing
that can be used two or three days.
A good stew can be used two or
. three days. Use the stew one night
just as it is. A crust over the stew
makes it a pie the next day with
,very little extra work. Most meats
can be cooked in quantities large
enough for more than one meal.
In cold weather the housekeeper.
should not have to cook every day.
If she gives one whole morning to
it she should have on hand enough'
cooked material to last a few days.
There are so many other things to
do in the home if the housekeeper
has to do it all herself that the fam
ily should be willing to eat simpler
food ana more one-dish meals.
Paper napkins are not a pleasant
thought, but if thfiy are used for
breakfast and lunch, the number of
napkins that have to be washed will
be considerably smaller than if the
linen ones are used three times a
day. It used to be cheaper to send
things to launiry than to do them
at home, but not these days.
Make the coffee jelly in the morn
ing and use the left-over coffee while
it is fresh. The greater part of the
cooking can be done before lunch.
The spinach can be washed and ready
to cook. The meat loaf can be pre
pared and in the part ready to bake.
The beans should be baking all
morning in a moderate oven.
When the biscuit dough is made
make a little extra. Roll it out thin,
cut'in strips, sprinkle with sugar and
cinnamon. A few raisins may be add
ed. Roll the strips up and keep them
in the ice box until evening. When
the meat loaf is put in the oven the
pinwheels can be baked.
If the beans are baked all morning
the oven will be hot and ready for
the biscuits at noon. They only need
to be baked in a hot oven about 20
minutes. The potatoes should be
cooked just tiefore dinner, but they
can be peeled and in water ready to
cook. y
It takes much less time if all the
food for the day is prepared at one
time. It means ustng fewer utensils,
less dishwashing and less cleaning
up.
If the biscuits and pinwheels are
made at one time that set of utensils
used are used only once and washed
only once, but if each is done sepa
rately it means twice as much work.
A little planning in advance saves
time and energy.
Cranberry and Quince Jam.w
Cut six ripe quinces into small
pieces without paring; add two
quarts of cranberries and boil in
three quarts of water until all are
soft, stirring and mashing as they
cook. Rub all possible through a
coarse sieve or fine colander, meas
ure and allow a quart of sugar for
each quart of pulp. Boil pulp 20
minutes, add sugar, which has been
heated, and boil about 25 minutes,,
or until a little cooled on a saucer
seems thick and rich: This is a very
finely flavored jam. The pulp may
be dripped through a jelly bag and
made into jelly in the ordinary way,
if a jelly is preferred.
Coffee Whip Gelatine.
One and one-half cupfuls boiled
coffee, one-half cupful sugar, yolks
two eggs, whites two eggs, one-half j
cupful milk, one tablespoontul gela
tine, one-fourth teaspoonful salt.
Mix gelatine with the cold boiled
coffee, milk and salt. Heat grad
ually over double boiler. Add the
yolks of eggs well beaten and the
sugar. Stir constantly and cook
until the mixture thickens slightly.
Then remove from stove and add
the whites of eggs beaten stiff. Set
away to harden. This dessert re
quires no sauce.
With coffee jelly, cheese straws
are a nice accompaniment.
The whites of eggs stiffly beaten
and added to gelatine partially hard
ened always make the dish attrac
tive. The yolks of eggs can either
be used in a custard sauce to serve
with it or in cake to go with it.
Another change td vary gelatine is
to serve this dessert with either
fresh or canned fruit as a sauce.
Grape juice, pineapple or orange
juice also makes a good sauce.
Removing Gum.
When gum is on clothing, hold a
piece of ice on the opposite side of
the goods and the gum will be re
moved easily.
Women Live Longer
Than Men
Sea serpents being out of date,
and "wild men" somewhat exhaust
ed of interest, there comes the re
cent story of a Kentucky man who
celebrated the 131st anniversary of
his birth by taking his first motor
car ride. ,
When a report of this sort is in
vestigated it usually is found to lack
proof.
Some years ago, at a meeting of
the Actuarial Society of America, its
president, John K. Gore, said: "The
well known cases of individuals
commonly believed to have lived a
century and a quarter, and eveii
much longer, have not in any in
stance been verified."
There is usually temptation to ex
aggerate the age of extremely old
persons; often they do it themselves,
says the Kansas City Star. Not
very long ago a man in England, in
terested in the study of human
longevity, offered $5,000 to any man
or woman living at the time who
could prove that he or she was 100
years old or more. There were
hundreds of claimants, but in no
case was irrefragable proof submit
ted.
In point of longevity, women are
far ahead of men, generally speak
ing. They are more resistant to
diseases and they live longer. And
yet women are called the "weaker
sex. So they are, muscularly, but
it is manifest that they are the
stronger sex constitutionally. They
possess what biologists term greater
'viability" a superior ability to survive.
For Well Dressed Women.
Fichus and net and lace are used
on dainty taffeta frocks.
Monkey fur is still used as trim
ming, especially on hats.
Graceful overtunics of delicate
fabric are edged with fur.
I he evenine eown occasionally
features a very light waist.
the poular length for skirts is
eight inches from the floor.
Round collars are used much in
children's frocks.
The oval silhoutte is much liked
for tailored suits.
A few of the new blouses are
made of duvetyn.
Mew street dresses have cirdles of
heavy silk cord. t
Une-pieces coat-dresses sometimes
have pegtop skirts.
Another War.
"What's the charge aeainst this
man?" asked the judge.
fighting in the public street."
replied the officer.
"You're fined $9.90."
"What's the 90 cents for. iuds-?--'
asked the man at the bar.
War tax."
'But the war's all over vnnr
honor."
"Over nothing) You were fieht-
ing, weren't you?" Yonkers Statesman.

Unrolling Imagination's
Scroll Gives the True
Enjoyment.
tmaaaaaw
A New England school teacher
wrote to Henri Lerolle in France, in
behalf of her class, to know what
hour of the day was to be under
stood in his painting, "The shep
herdess," and Lerolle replied by an
early mail, earnestly and simply,
"Look at the picture." i'his is in
principle the answer to all such
questions. Perhaps the most char
acteristic purpose served by art in
human life is that of stimulating
the imagination. The first stage of
this imaginative activity usually
seems to take the form of a more
or less delicate curiosity what the
poet might have called "a sweet
unrest." Now, if-we insist on having
this curiosity explained away" for
us the moment it makes itself felt,
are we not nipping our whole im
aginative experience in the bud?
Are we not? in other words, com
pletely missing the point for which
the picture was painted, just at the
moment we expected to grasp it?
For it is the unrolling of the
imagination's scroll and not what is
written upon it that gives us1 our
real enjoyment of art works. It. is
not the telling which makes a tale?
We know that we can learn "how
things were settled" by seeing the
fifth act of the play, but do we not
like to see the other four acts
(which are there to stimulate the
"sweet unrest") as well? What Is
written on the scroll marks our
objective, but in itself it is stored
and congealed; while the unrolling
of the scroll is an adventure with
a living mind, which leaps from
pinnacle to pinnacle of flaming ex
perience. (George Eggers, Director Chicago
Art Institute.)
, Worth Knowing.
The nipple on the baby's bottle
will not collapse if a sterilized cord
is placed across the center of the
opening of the bottle before the
nipple is put on. The nipple holds
it in place.
When making pillows make a slip
of strong mosquito netting and put
the feathers into this;slip this first
pillow into the ticking and fasten
the ends with clasps." The feathers
can be easily removed for airing and
the ticking for washing.
A wheel chair for an invalid is
made by buying four casters at
tached to a rubber socket into which
the legs of an ordinary chair are
slipped.
A convenient laundry bag is made
the size of a pillow slip with an
opening from the center of one side
to the top of the bag. Insert a
clothes hanger and the bag can be
hung on door knob.
Cleans White Shoes.
If the buckskin uppers of your
shoes are soiled you can clean them
neatly and cheaply with sandpaper.
Buy a sheet of the finest, grade,
costing a few cents, and cut off a
little strip. With this rub the leather
gently until all dirt disappears. One
sheet of paper will last for a num
ber of cleanings.
