THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 21, 1920. 5 B 4 The Family at Meal Times jstVoraParis fashions . By LORETTA C LYNCH. One of the lovelv thiture. ahnut fome life is that the Whole family is privileged to meet together at meal times. Pethaps they are not together at' all meals. Theta the housewife should make special effort toward things particularly pleasant at the one meal at which they may all be together. i The housewife should decide ort a time convenient to all for the eve ring meal. And she should endeav tr to' have that meal as nearly as possible at that time. If one mem ber of the family is delayed, the rest of the family should not be made to wait One womau of whom I know keep's her f amily waiting some times as long as two hours if the father is detained." She considers it disrespectful to begin the meal un til he is presont, with the result that sometimes her school children (let their, evening meat as late as 8 o'clock. They go to bed soon after eating and. of course, it is telling on their health and efficiency in school. iWhen the stomach is trained to expect food at 6 in the evening, it is unwise to change this time fre quently, so far as health is ,con rertied. Regular meals at regular hours is one of the common health slogans. Another thing, there is no meal too plain but thai the family should he trained to make yeady for it. Wwn one considers the innumer able disease perms on hands appar ently clean, the necessity for clean hands is obvious. But, of course, the housewife who would impress hi r children or per haps her husband ' with the neces sity of tidying up at meal time 1 must begin with herself. Many women cook so elaborate a meal they sink down to the n:ea! with untidy hair and often soiled, dis arranged clothing. This may be easy and comfortable, but it is an extreme bad example. Better by tar a meal of bread and milk and a clean, tidy housewife than greater elaboration and a tired, unkempt woman. Whether on must eat in the ' kitchen or a regulation dining room, it is a nice practice to open the win dows for a moment to change the air or carry off cooking odors before calling the family to be seated. It is unfortunate that in some families meal time is. not sacred to, the business of eating and nourish ing the body, but is devoted to a more orjess severe form of bicker ing and quarreling. The best food nrooerlv orenared will become in digestible and fail to nourish under" these circumstances. And the mother who. has the health and advancement of her fam ily at heart will see to it tha only the most pleasant conversation is carried on. And the really worth while mother will see to it that re spect is inculcated in her family rroup by urging cleanliness and a lidy appearance at meal time. , Adequate Cleaning Device Lightens Labor ' The way of the housekeeper is hard or easy, according to her choice and use of methods. Ex pert use of good cleaning tools will do wonders toward making her way easy, and she can achieve this result only by .patiently testing methods anl by having an adequate cleaning equipment always accessible for use. The house that hides away in its darkest remote corners a few non descript tools and cloths intended for cleaning purposes usually is not very well kept,' or, if it i usually has a tired out woman at its head. There are many girls who have taken a dislike to housework be cause of the unsightly mops and lop sided brooms and dingy cloths with which they worked at their first tasks of cleaning. But self-respect and scrubbing are not at all in compatible when a good scrubbing equipment is skilfully used. ; Just the right tool for each job lightens the labor of cleaning, and cleaning the oote well before put ting them away insures their effec tive service at theit next use with out any loss of time. The supply of soaps and powders and other needed gleaning agents should never be allowed to remain depleted for longer than the actual time nec essary to replenish it Few things n .limnlaii" the house- uu aiivic i o ........ t ---- - 7 : keeper's feeling of independence tronf drudgery tnan xne cohsuui ness that an orderly cleaning outfit :. ...i;ncc fnr instant use.

Women who frequently express their loath ing for dishwashing arc likely to rouse the suspicion that they employ poor methods and sight skill in per forming that thrice daily task, while the woman ho perfects herself in its every detail gets through it with a mechanical dexterity and no an noyance.' Best of all, the house keeper who makes herself an expert in the field of cleaning saves much valuable time and energy for out door activities that are so pleasant and so. necessary in her life. . . ; 1- -T Gown of geranium frille silk with .draped back and trimmings of pearl. - Afternoon dress of bottle green chif fon over dark green satin, tunic edged with black coque feathers.

' This extraction takes place very quickly, especially when the coffee is ground fine. The coarser the granulation the longer it is neces sary to let the grounds remain in contact with the boiling water. Remember that flavor, the only flavor worth having, i3 extracted by the short contact of boiling water and cqjfee grounds and that after this flavor is extracted the coffee grounds become valueless drugs. Shoes .worn by some Chinese women are only five inches long. ' Two Hobbies Are Often Better Than One Every woman needs a hobby, pre ferably one that will give her both mental and physical exercise. A carefully chosen hobby, ridden at a gentle gait, is one of the most pleas iiig and beneficial ways of getting! outside the circle of the every day round of inescapable activities. Some, women discard their -chosen hobby in a short time because they either do not choose wisely in the first pls.ee or because they overestimate its importance and g)ve it a major role in their lives, when it should have only a minor one. The woman who spreads hir ac-i tivities out thinly over a wide field achieves tittle of satisfaction or re-i suit, so it is not wise for the home woman to try overmuch to1 revolu tionize social and civic and political movements generally. She will ac complish more by a steady and per-, sisent effort at some one phae or whatever movement claims her en-, thusiasm. If her hobby happens to be gardening, she should not com-) pe with florists and truck garden-l crs in the variety of her products,! but should specialize on a few plants that are adapted to the sparej and soil in which they must bei grown It may be that two hobbiesi j are even better than one, so that neither will over absorb. One for her own, benefit, such as outdoor! sports or drama clubs, and another for the benefit of other people, such as civic or social matters, would in sure a balanced program for. thel home woman; But the main points! to be remembered are: Choose the hobby wisely, subordinate it to its proper place and let it canter alonw briskly on occasion, but do not let it have enough rein or range to per-l mit it to run away with her. mnoimm Mot Q O Trade?
