How to Like
Housework
By LORETTO C. LYNCH.
"Can you say anything that will
help me to like housework? Mar
ried a whole year, my life as a house
wife prows more unbearable each
day. No, it isn't that my husband
(Joes not love me, nor that our in
come is insurticient for the necessi
ties of life, but we cannot afford out
side help, and so I must do it all
keep the five rooms clean, make
beds, get breakfast by 8 in the
morning and an evening dinner at 6.
"Yet before I married I belonged
to a family of wealth. I was given
an excellent education, which the
family supposed that sonic day I
should be able to use. Instead, there
is neither music nor poetry in what
I must do day in and day out. And
the sad part of it is that there seems
no possible way out."
This was one letter there was an
other one from a college friend, one
of the brightest students we knew.
She wrote delightful poems, many
of which were set to music and
netted her a comfortable income.
Then she married. And she had
manv of the luxuries of life. But,
by one of those inexplainable jests
of fortune, her husband lost every
dollar he possessed. A mining firm in
Alaska offered him a job. For two
years this woman has been keeping
house in a shack.
"It was a big chance," she writes,
"but I have always boasted that I
possessed a real education, and so
I started out to prove to mysen mat
T reallv was well educated. For the
well educated woman can adapt her
self to circumstances. And so, out
here in the witds, when the old In
dian I had engaged failed to appear
on washday I got out that copy of
'Little Women,' by Louis M. Alcott,
and turned to those lines that run:
" 'Queen of my tubs, I merrily sing
As the white foam rises high.
I happily wash and rinse and
wring
And fasten the clothes to dry.
Then out in the free, fresh air they
swing
Under the sunny sk
I am glad to me a task is given
To labor at day by day;
As I happily wash and rinse and
wring, '
I cheerfully learn to say:
Head, you must think; heart, you
must feel;
But hands, you must work way.
Charming little poem, isn't it? And
it contains just the dearest, homeliest
bit of philosophy. It gets the mind
thinking right. This seems to be
the keynote to the situation of which
my correspondent complains. She
isn't thinking right when she believes
she has been well educated. Her
education has been faulty. She is
suffering from what has been a terri
ble mistake in viewing education by
the unthinking of the last generation.
The mistake consists in thinking
that all physical labor is menial, low
and entirely beneath the dignity of
one who has accomplished in the way
of education a certain amount of
tock learning. Real education, as
Jstf friend in Alaska believes, pre
pare one to fit herself to circum
stances, no matter what these circum
stances may be.
Fish Souffle
The Cook Book
Sugar cooking is easier than it
seems and harder than the amateur
guesses. It is easy to the one inter
ested enough in doing it to put con
centration into the work. The per
son with a smattering sort of men
tal caliber might just as well pay
$1 or $2 a pound for candy and be
satisfied as waste 12 cents a pound
sugar in making unsatisfactory
stuff. . ...
The candy thermometer is indis
pensable to the cook, although she
would do no other straight sugar
cooking than the making of boiled
icings. It watches the sugar cook
ing for us. It is as indispensable
as a clock, if we wish to catch the
candy train often; that is.vmake,
candy frequently. With it we can
catch the candy train, and not waste
either time or temper, or sugar.
Without it we take a chance of los
ing all these, and a pleasant acquire
ment besides. There is no more
sense in depending upon luck in
cooking sugar than in trying to
catch a train. .
In beginning to cook sugar the in
experienced nay get lumpy instead
of smooth mixtures, as smooth as
anything in cooking. She may get
rocks where she should get .creams.
She may get something sticky in
stead of dry. In working a cooked
sugar she may get as ugly, clumsy,
stiff effects as she would get taking
a first lesson in clay modeling.
Must Learn by Experience.
And here is where I want to scold.
She would not expect to become a
sculptor without infinite trying, with
constant instructions. Yet there are
an astonishing number pi people who
expect to make and mold candy
without any training at all. '
As in manv another sort of cook
ery they expect to get a few words
of instruction, from some source,
and then feel all responsibility as to
success or failure lifted from their
shoulders. The person who fails in
making good, simple, wholesome
home-made candies, attractive can
dies, to take the place of dessert, to
give a friend, to sell for profit, is
herself to blame for the failure in
99 times out of 100. .
As the holidays approach innu
merable people who have never got
bevond the making of soggy ton
dants did not work long or hard
enough to get light and velvety
creams and rocky fudges have a
fresh impulse to try again, " they
will let the thermometer watch for
them, then will follow directions as
to working .' e cooked product, with
the patient, determined expectation
of putting in from 15 minutes to
three-fourths of an hour at hard
work or work without any thought

This delicious fish is a novelty to
many. Mix two cupfuls of. finely
chopped cooked cold salmon into
two cupfuls of aspic jelly, which has
been well whipped while cooling,
then add a cupful of whipped cream;
season with a teaspoonful of mixed
English mustard, a little salt, a dust
of pepper, one and a half tablcspoon
fuls of Worcestershire sauce and a
teaspoonful (f onion juice. Mix
together, put into little earthen bak
ing dishes and set to bake in a mod
erate oven for about 20 minutes.
Aspic Jelly Take two ounces of
gelatine, four cupfuls of water, a des
sertspoonful of salt, juice of one
lemon, one or two bayleavcs, two
whites and shells of eggs, a small
teacupful of white vinegar, one
onion, sliced, and 20 peppercorns
and allspice mixed. Mix up all the
ingredients well with a whisk, and
when it comes to the boil pass it

run some boiling water through the
bag. Then use as directed above.
and is easier to work with, using
many cautions, than the cooked
iondant. But it has not the flavor or
melting creaminess of the bon bon
base. Today the fine sugars we get
are not as reliable or uniform as for
merly, so we cannot depend on gct
ing fine effects with this uncooked
fondant, but those who make candy
on a commercial scale, since they are
able to get special sugars for candy
making which the housewife cannot
buy, do give us pretty new things
of uncooked sugar.
One of these this year is the
"buddie." The candy manufacturers
h?ive got the form from the baker,
but something nearly like it in
chocolate has been on the market
for some time.
The point of this mention is that
these can be made of cooked fond
ants, and iudges slightly melted, but
not as easily as with the uncooked
foniTant. A few of them for pleas
antry's sake can be made by taking
a little of the fondant and pushing
it with the thumb through a twelve
start point, which can be purchased
with a pastry bag.
This is point 21 of the sugar
syringe. Of course, if you are going
to make many of these you will need
a bag or cone or syringe back of the

Problems That Perplex
Answered by
BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"Why Don't Hoys IJkc Mc?n
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am coming
to you again for a little advice, ns I
think you always "hit the nail on the
head."
I am almost 24 years old, an ordi
nary looker and an ordinary dresser.
However, I neither use rouse nor
lip stick, nor do 1 wear dresses up to
my knees. I do not seem to take
well with the opposite sex and can
not understand it as I have lots of
girl friends and real true ones at
that.
A few months ago, I did go some
with different ones but they did not
seem - to care for my ways. I try
to act natural and the same na I do
with girls, but when I won't stand
for their "mush," they don't seem to
like It. Then, too, my mother al
ways stays up for me and when I
near tho door most of them have
said, "Well, your mother is waiting
up for you. She must be nfrald you
are going to kiss me goodnight." I
do not care for a boy friend if he
experts me to kiss him before I
intend to be engaged: that is, before
I think enough of him and think
he has the same feeling for me.
Maybe I am wrong but I still hold
to my opinion.
I enjoy goinir to shows, picniee
and to a good dance once In a while,
and really get lonesome without a
friend but don't seem to find any
true wholesome fellows around my
age.
Would appreciate any suggestion
from you along these lines. I al
ways read your advice and think it
excellent, and so am writing you
with a hope that you can help me
solve my problem.
Hoping to see my letter in print,
I am, BROWN EXES.
Tou have asked me one of the
hardest questions there is to answer.
To tell a girl whom you have never
seen why she Is not popular with tho
boys is un almost impossible thing
to do.
It is true, as you say, that some
boys choose girls who are careless
in their conduct, but it is not right
to say a girl cannot have boy friends
and even bo popular without adopt
ing low standards.
Your letter sounds sensible. You
say you try to act natural, and that
is a quality which not only boys, but
all of us like. Boys like a "good
fellow," a girl who can have a good
time and not be excessively silly.
Tou are the kind of girl, I Judge,
whom a boy would like very much
once ho came to know you. And I
think the man who would be attract
ed to you would be a man you would
want to marry.
Tho only suggestion I can think
might be useful to you Is that you
forget yourself. Go In for athletics
or dancing or some interest in which
you can really be interested. Your
enthusiasm (which should not be
affected) will be contagious. Keep
yourself sincere, but when you aro
interested in something, don't be
half-hearted about it. You will thus
develop flno spirit.
Do you read magazines? Try the
Saturday Evening Post which seems
to be partcularly interesting to men.
It will help give you a man's point
of view.
Heartbroken: If the young man
will not accept your explanations
there is nothing more can be done.
He will probably discover before
long that the other girl is not to be
trusted.

Easy Method for Cleaning
Silver.
Few of us have adhered to the la
borious method of cleaning silver by
the use of polishes and pastes and
tiresome rubbing and polishing. Use
the aid of an aluminum kettle filled
with boiling water in which have
been dissolved a teaspconful each of
common salt and baking soda for
each quart of water used. If one
does not possess a large aluminum
kettle for cleaning the tea or coffee
pot the use of an ordinary dishpan
is possible , provided one places
therein any small piece of aluminum
with the silver. The one point to be
remembered is that the piece of sil
ver must touch the aluminum or the
salt and soda will not act upon it.
Last summer when in a rural dis
trict of New England, where few
houses are wired for electricity, I
saw a farmer's wife take all of her

lamp burners and, with the aid of a
handful ci dried beans in a pan of
boiling water, she not only cleaned
them so that they shone, but she
also removed the corrosion and en
crustation which had formed about
the wick. I promptly went home
and tried it cn my brass candlesticks
and they emerged in blazing glory.
And as a further proof of the possi
bility of conservation even in beans,
when the time came to parboil them
for the next Saturday baking (for
this was New England, I repeat), in
stead of throwing away the water
after parboiling 1 gathered up all my
large pieces of brass, teakettle, jar

bath of boiling bean waler they
went! The ellcct was ..almost in
stantaneous, a shining array of clean
brass, with no disagreeable odor nor
stained hands lingering as a reminder
that that brass had just been cleaned.
