Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. To Hold Clippings. ‘The orderly housekeepér is often dis- tracted over the accumulation of house- hold receipts and bills. A letter file such as is used in thou- sands of business offices will save all this annoyance. It is shaped like & book and has two heavy pasteboard covers. Its leaves are strong manila envelopes. The envelopes are marked on the margin with the letters of the alphabet in large, clear type. In some files there are several en- velopes under each letter. This makes it very easy to classify bills and papers of different persons whose names be- gin with the same letter. A letter file is exceedingly useful for all clippings and illustrations relating to_household matters. Keep a pad of paper on the desk or reading table. When a receipe or house- hold hint or illustration is clipped from a newspaper or magazine, paste it on a sheet of pad paper and slip it into one of the envelopes in the letter file under whose initial it properly belongs. It is 80 much easier to handle if it is mount- ed, especially if it is a small cli?pmm In the indexed manila envelope it can be quickly consulted. The margin of the sheet of paper on which the clipping is pasted gives room for scribb some such comment as “Use only half the quantity here given,” or “This is better if not made so sweet.” In case the receipe proves a failure, how much easier to throw it away than if it had been pasted into a scrapbook! Anyone who ever cuts anything out of a newspaper or magazine will find it the best possible method of taking care of his clippln’s. Poems, art, travel or scientific articles can all be filed quickly and consulted quickly by using a letter file. If a collection on more than one sub- jeet is being made, it is well to have a separate file for each subject. can be kept on the flyleaf and 1 be found-to aid in the refetence. When the index is started, it is well & waste of time. ‘The wool embroidery work suggested | to leave a space for more than one name under each letter. OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Handkerchief Time.

Quilt Pattern Morning Glory. ‘The freshness of the mominh:lor! can be reproduced by making the full blown flower in a deep rose or orchid, le blue or pink. The stems and the f:‘vu that curl about the base of the flower are developed in dark green. The leaves should be done in two tones of green—the darker being appliqued on the lighter, after it is sewed on. The stems should be dark green, the very narrow one embroidered in the same shade of green as the other stems with six-stand embroidery floss. Directions—The designs should be appliqued on fine white muslin or broadcloth. Cut each block 9 by 12 inches. If the white fabric used as a background is fine enough, it may be placed over the paper and the pattern traced in the middle of the block in neil. Otherwise use carbon paper for gltlnl. First, trace the pattern in the center of the white block. Second, trace the floral design on the different colored materials, allowing for seams for each petal, leaf and stem. Third, turn narrow hems and applique, follow- ing traced pattern on white block. Bowls may be appliqued in any color desired. The narrow stems may be em- broidered in six-strand embroidery thread. Applique the heavier ones. Join completed blocks by 4-inch strips of green material. ‘These designs may be done in col- embroidery threads, using outline be used for hades, '&‘5‘ and paneled on doors of chil- 's cupboards. i m:;fllmlufor ee :’élri’u«’?nmtulquumel ‘he Star and inclose @ stamped, ad- Goprrisht, 19810 Please have pockets.” FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Coffee Making. How many housekeepers know how to make really good coffee? I know lots of women who excel - cake makers or ple makers or crull makers, but who unblushingly serve the most atrocious coffee. Good coffee is .« easy to make as poor coffee. 1 know that, for I have made both kinds. Cheap coffee can be made into a clear, amber beverage that is savory and sweet smelling. Cof- fee at 70 cents a pound can just as easily be made into & muddy, flavoriess slop. Perfect cleanliness is one prerequi- site. Reasonably quick serving 1is another, I can't seem to think of any others. And indeed, I have drunk coffee that has stood for half an hour and found it delicious. You .can make coffee in & metal or glass percolator, in an agate coffee pot, in aluminum, over coal or gas; you can drip it into a china pitcher; you can stew it in & big tin pan over a camp- ‘We was eating brekfist and ma sed to pop, Willyum, I been wondering whether to wear my new hat to the meeting of the Dawters of Clepattera this after- noon.

It is best, even if you make coffee in a saucepan, to keep one saucepan sacred to its making. The water must be clear. It may be cold or hot. I think it is easier, though not neces- sarily best, to make coffee with boiling water. The coffee must be used gen- erously enough so that you will not need to boil it over-long to get the right strength, Drip coffee, perhaps, is the easiest to make. For this you need finely pul- verized coffee. It is put in some sort of receptacle with a perforated bottom, and this receptacle is placed over a hot china or stoneware pitcher. To keep the coffee hot, this stoneware pitcher should be kept hot, either by standing it on the top of the hot gas oven, the back of a coal stove, or in a pan of hot water that is kept below the boll- ing point, but still very hot. Boiling hot water is poured into the drip receptacle and allowed to drip slowly through. Just once. It is an easy matter to add a Jittle botling water to the infusion if it is too strong. For breakfast strong drip coffee diluted with hot milk that has been brought Jjust tothe bubbling, boiling point is delicious. . MODES= OF THE MOMEN Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Science of Dreams. Every now and then you run across some book which purports to tell vou the “meaning of dreams,” how to “in- terpret” them and all the other ways wherefores. The majority of writers pretend that they are giving you & scientific treatment of dreams. As a matter of plain fact, there is no such science. In all probability there never can be a science of dreams. A sclence, at least in the pure sense of the term, is subject to “check and double check.” Arithmetic is a good example. You may, for instarce, mul- tiply 847 by 6 and get 5082. Or you may divide 625 by 25 and get 25. Any number of mathsmaini-=~ = - same answers. You don't have to rely On your own CalCusiliit. ... time you multiply 847 by 6 or divide 625 by 25. A scierice then is something that can be proved by different observers.
