WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLA! ND H. ALLE} —_ Wicker Furniture. Getting to know wicker furniture a difficult matter, if you haven't me one near at hand to guide your ye. At one time. wicker furniture as a good deal of a mystery to many oppers, but the mystery is gradually ing cleared up. The result, of urse, is that more women are bu ng this type of Summer ware with eir eyes open—open to the points t determine value, wear and qual- ty. i ‘There are different types of “wicker” furniture and all of them have a P‘woody” origin. Rattan, for example, a vine that grows in India, China, nd Africa. Sometimes these vines grow to be 100 feet long. The rattan p in our furniture has been split fx’f: strips. Where rattan is mar- Kketed it 1s classified according to its [pize and texture. We also know rattan as “cam‘.x When the bark of rattan is remove mnd treated it becomes “cane” and we use it for chair seats and many other things. Women, it is interesting to earn, first made practical use of rat- n. Before they used it for the hoops n the skirts it was burned for fire- ‘wood. Gradually we come to meet rattan §n other guises.

They are confined to the coasts of the North Pacific and are now very rare. As much as 2500 dollars has been paid for a single skin. used to weave furniture and like things. It includes rattan, reed, wil- low and all of the rest. Willow is a tough sort of stuff. It has a hollow center and the rough joint at its points where leaves have grown makes it difficult stuff to bend without breaking. It often costs more than rattan because of the difficul of manufacture. Its durability is well known. Fiber furniture, made of hard twisted paper, is one of the hardiest of the Summer furniture materials. It is treated to withstand any sort of weather conditions and its durability has been proved beyond doubt. Fiber furniture of this type will stand almost four times as much tension as reed. For the most part fiber furni- ture, woven like reed, is indistinguish- able. Reliable stores properly label their furniture, but one can distinguish rattan from willow by the greater coarseness of rattan and the occa- sional knots which mark branches. Reed is not always circular and it may be split into any shape for weav- ing. The fiber “reeds” have no ends, because they are manufactured in de- sired lengths in continuous cords. . Ice Cream in Melons. Make a vanilla ice cream of one quart of thin cream scalded, one cup- ful of sugar, and one tablespoonful of vanilla extract. Let stand an hour or longer after freezing in order to ripen. ‘When about ready to serve, press the ice cream into the halves of small cantaloupes chilled, from which the seeds haye been removed. Cut un- blanched almonds into thin slices and press them, skin side up, into the top of the cream. This dessert .may be served at once, or if convenient let it stand for half an hour or longer in a a closed receptacle surrounded with equal measures of crushed ice and salt. e Quick Salad Dressing.

These reflections were called forth by my having watched some one who might be known as a model father. He came into a well known restaurant with his voung son and proceeded at once to order a chicken sandwich with lettuce, a glass of milk and some rice custard. ter's eyes sparkled when the sandwich arrived, as it was flanked by the largest pickle Almost before the boy as happening, Dad had quietly speared that pickle with his own fork and hidden it under his own sandwich. Whereupon the young man ate his well selected meal. Seriously, fathers can help without endangering any of their masculine dignity. I am not pleading for formal diet discussions in the home. I am suggesting rather that dad listen to what mother has to say sufficiently, so that when he takes Junior out with him he may exercise parental authority to the extent of suggesting proper edibles, and further to the ex- tent of seeing that Junior eats them. Such a plan will help mother more than dad realizes. It is right and proper that the boys of the family should look to their fathers as good examples of what they should like to be when they grow to manhood. If mother can truthfully tell them that dad's record at golf depends somewhat on good health and that his good health has been huilt up by proper food, then the task is comparatively easy for both mother and dad. The boys will dash to their respective interests, whether foot ball, aviation or just plain old-fashioned hand ball, with bodies well fed, nerves steady and minds all set to derive the highest possible good from the health- ful sports. Dad may find Junior sidling up to him, suggesting pleasantly that he would “like to ask his advice, as man to man, about this diet dope.” Then is dad’s opportunity, and mother will rise up and call him blessed if he will but back up her own teachings with that rare something known as mas- cuine authority!
