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

suits of effective cleaning more than

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.

; To Boil Coffee
It is a mistake to let the water an J
the coffee-grounds boil together
after the real -coffee flavor is once
extracted. ' 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.

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.

The tonal range of the reproducing Art' Apollo, instead of
being confined to an arbitrary fixed number of shades, as in the
past, is limitless in its expression. The most minute 'ton, sub
tilities of each individual artist are reproduced. You may' also
introduce your own interpretation ir desired. TTirough' the
advent of the Art'Apollo reproducing piano the art of the
pianist is made imperishable, and the world is given, an oppop
tunity to hear the composer play his own compositions. Musical
education and appreciation are extended beyond the limits of
-oncert stage, to every home .that contains an Art'Apollo.
