. WOMAN’S PAGE. Attractive Apron for the Kitchen BY I THE DECORATIVE FEATURES ALSO CONSTITUTE Aprons may be divided into two classes, practical aprons and novelty aprons. To be sure, it is quite possible for_practical aprons to be decorative and novelty aprons to be practical, hut the purposes of the aprons are dis. tinetly different. Under the classification of practical aprons come all the bungalow and kitchen aprons and even the dainty fudge and tea aprons. It is when touches of distinetion are given aprons that they become novelties, whether they are kitchen aprons or dressy af- fairs. And so today we find that the ~special apron to be described, while distinctly a novelty article, belongs to the kitchen varlety just the same. It 1 a modification of the fitted apron, only its fitting consists of but a single thing, and that is a holder. Holder Apron. A good name for this apron might be a holder apron, for a pocket is also a sort of “holder,” and there is one pocket on the right which balances the holder for hot dishes and pans, which is on the left. The holder is fastened to the apron by a loop of cord sewed to one corner of it, and which slips over a button sewed to the apron. The button comes high enough for the holder to hang in a correspond- ing position to that of the pocket. While it is possible to buy such aprons either with or without the de- signs being embroidered, it is also possible for the woman who is handy with her needls to make them. They may be of any wash materisl, such as gingham, chambray, unbleached cotton cloth, linen, etc., and be trim- med or not, accerding to preference. But to have them really attractive they should be ernamental. Let me describe one excellent style, Unbleached cloth called is excellent for the fabric. “drilling” It is close- Have Faith in yourself when the world Seems determined to break your endurance— You often can blufF a assurance.

Embroider the motifs in colors, and do the border stitches in a color you wish to accent. Finish the apron and the holder. Sew a round-headed pearl or porcelain button on the side of the apron, being sure it will permit the holder when on it to balance the pocket. If a cheesecloth duster is finished around the edges with the border stitch and tucked into the pocket you will have a very handy apron with two fittings instead of but one. Lessons in English BY W.

C., Women Who Have Important Tasks I in Government Service SUB ROSA BY MIMI, Home Doesn’t Look Nice. That seems to be one of the stiffest problems faced by the girl who hasn't much money, and whose parents are too poor to afford a cozy, pretty home. The girls feel they're up against it. They're not ashamed of their parents —they're not actually ashamed of their homes—but they dread the thought of inviting some one td spend an evening in a stiff, uncomfortable, uEly room. They figure that it's hard enough to entertain a new acquaintance without the handicap of uncomfortable chairs and ugly surroundings. Peggy tells me that she and her mother and father live in.a four-room flat, which is just about the worst looking place she’s ever seen. ‘All her friends have attractive little homes—bright and cosy and snug. They have room to dance in their living rooms. They can _emertnln the boys with cards or music. Peggy, on the other hand. has only one tiny room in which to receive visitors, and this being the only sit- ting room, her father and mother have to retire to their bedroom when she has callers. The walls being an inch thick, everything Peggy says can be clearly overheard. ‘The whole atmosphere is most un- comfortable and embarrassing. She's convinced that there's no hope for her as long as she lives in a place ike that. 2 So she's dropping all her friends, one by one, rather than ask them to visit her dreadful home. Rather than spend evenings of torment try- ing to entertain in the most depress- ing circumatances, she intends to live a life of solitary misery. That's the wrong idea, Pegg: Tam not going to hand you any apple sauce about your home being beaut- ful if you have the proper spirit, etc. It is trying to receive people in an unpleasant room, but you mustn't re- fuse to ask your frjends home now nd then. N "Mt me tell you. As soon as they've been there once or twice, and see just how inconvenient it is for you to receive them, th won't expect invitations from you. Those of your girl friends who are real pals will come to your rescue. They'll make it a point to help you out by inviting you mere to their homes of an evening. You must take your friends Into your confidence a little bit more. You mustn't think they're all against you. They will anderstand—they’ll appre- clate ~ your hardships—they —won't think any the less of you fer it— only they'll have more tact than to ask to call on you often. The movies will be suggested—girls hearing you have a date will ask you to run over to their homes for a& while with your man—the way will be easier—if vou'll swallow your pride and get the first two or three visits over with. Nobody thinks any the less of you for your unfortunate circumstances. But they will think considerably less of you for your false pride. Good luck to you, Peggy.

And any father or mother can testify from ample experience just how exasperating and funny tomorrow’s citizen can be.

But Mary Stewart, for- tunately, understands the hewildered and seeking minds; the deflance that is worn to cover up uncertainty and fear; the need of finding a task that will 'keep alive that vital spark of interest that will start a warming blaze to last the years out.

It is easy to mee how much more than just finding the hole for tl peg this means. It means study of the Individual; the changing of wrong points of view into right ones; the adjustment, where possible, by co- operation with other agencles, of in- Surfous home conditions—because the child who leaves school before his edu- cation is finished leaves because his home has failed in some way to give him his rightful heritage.

You can- not be healthy if your throat is in- fected, for you will be continually swallowing poisons that are being gen- erated in the throat. 1f you find your- self constantly swallowing and vet the throat passages never scem (o clear, or if your tongue is always coated though your digestion is good, if your skin is” very bad and your general health poor, you might quite likely have a septic center here which should be treated. Of course, 1i's best to see a doctor. But if the trouble is not serious enough for this try what home treatments with antiseptic gargles wiil do fo: you. Every morning when you have brush- ed your teeth rinse out the mouth and gargle the throat with a little peroxide diluted with warm water or a little salt dissolved in hot water, or with any one of the many good antiseptic mouth washes on the market. r- sonally, I think there is nothing hetter than hot water and salt, which is a wonderful antiseptic for strengthening the throat and the gums and the teeth, and which will stop many a sore throat if used in time.
