G B bt O G [ — The little ducks may be in applique or cross-stitch on the warm cuddly blanket, | jacket or bonnet. | HARMING sets for infants' wardrobes consist of knitted blankets and jackets to match These are particularly appeal- ing just now when wintry wefther makes it wise to sce that the lithle ones are kept snug and warm. The sets can be plain or they can be ormamented with applique and cross- stifch motifs. The stichery can bz plain knitting, or fancy, or crochet can be used as the stitchery instead of knit- ting. Sometimes the blankets are hand- loom woven, with the jackets in the same colored yarn in crochet or knit- ting. The color of the blankets and jackets may be the harmony significant of the sets. This together w'th the similarity of ornamental motifs may form a closer union. If a little bonnet goes”with the jacket and blanket, an entire ensemble results. Some of the most interesting sets haye birds and animal motifs worked in | crass-stitch on them. For some reason these seem to be a littl> more appealing to youngsters than do flowers, although | the latter are equally decorative. Little duele-motifs are just the things for or- namenting these sets. They can be had by sending 10 cents for the larger! applique duck and also 5 cents for the three small ducks, together with a self- eddressed and stamped envelope with a request directed to Lydia Le Baron Wal- ker, care of this paper. If the ap- plique cuck alone is wanted send 10| cents with an S. A. S. E, or if the| small cross-stitch ducks alone are wanted 5 cents with the self-addressed | and stamped envelope, will secure them. | Sets with the large duck in applique and the small ones in cross-stitch are smart and novel. The large duck is put on the blanket while the small ones are cros-stitched a few inches above the bottom of the jacket. They are worked in a row as s2en in the design pattern. Sometimes a single cross-stitch duck is put on each sleeve at the wrist, and one gocs on the baby's bonnet, or cap, if it is a three-piece ensemble. The cross-stitch is worked by counted stitches in a color contrasting with the jacket and cap. Each stitch of ordinary Plain knitting or crochet counts as one stitch in the design, and the cross-stitch | is taken over it exactly as if it were! cross-stitch canvas. The work is de- lightfully simple and marvelously effective. (Copyright, 1932.) Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Shall Married Women Work? | The old subject whether the woman | who has a husband to support her shall | work, has always been a matter of dis- pute. It was doubtless started by the first husband who found his physical ease and comfort at home disturbed thereby, or the Little Weman not sd little and meek when she no longer had to beg him for spending money. It wes augmented by the old Demon of Inferiority Complex, when she made an; outstanding success of her job and brought home a bigger salary check than he did. . As more and more women entered the field of business, the argument was taken up by the “single sisters,” who envied the married woman her double income. How could the single girl hold her own in the face of this competition? The war rages on, with one phase or another of it coming to the fore, accord- ing to the times. Hardly a day passes now that scme public official, from school superintendent to the mayor of a | city and the Governor of some State, is not asked to “dismiss all married women, because they have husbands to support them.” Such an attack presupposes that all married women are reve ing in luxury at home, and merely wor& out of bore- dom. Even if this was true, we would question the wisdom of any measure which would deprive a human being who desired to work of that privilege But surveys prove that it actually is | not _true. When a woman, married or single, works, it is for the same reason that her man relatives work—because they need the money. An investigation con- ! ducted by the American Woman's As- sociation, in co-operation with the President’s, Emergency Committee for Employment, showed that 40 per cent | of the women in the beiter-paid groups had from one to three persons de- pendent upon them. It was found that 38 per cent of those earnings $3,000 a year bore the entire expense of the household, and 27 per cent shared that expense with relatives or friends. Only 4%; per cent lived in a home with- out con’ributing to its support. The annual report of the Woman's Bureau of the Department of Labor showed even a heavier economic re- sponsibility. In a house-to-house can- vass of & small industrial community 228 families were solely dependent upon the earnings of the wife and: mother, and 100 women had five or, more to support. This hardly indicates that married women are working for pin-money. And even when a woman has a hus- band “to support her,” who is to say that in & few months he, too, may not be among the unemployed? Years of training have gone into fitting any successful woman for her particular job. What an appalling waste if in any emergency she is to find herself discriminated against because she is a member of a certain rl{ss! Banana Whip.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “Just what is chili con carne, Lois? It sounds so foreign. Is it really?” “Chilli con carne is a mixture of chili peppers or prepared chil powder with meat. ‘Con carne’ means with meat, you see. I'll make some for the next cold d True to her word Lofs prepared the dish. And she did it in_this fashion. She checked her recipe and found it called for five hot or chili peppers. She smiled over the fact that a hot pepper was called a chili one, but realized that the pepper must have been named after the country in which it grew, rather than after its characteristic flavor. For these five hot peppers she need- ed one clove of garlic and one small onion. The peppers were washedafter seeds and membranous lining were re- moved, and ccoked in small amount of water until tender. Then they were put through a sieve. This mixture with sliced onfon and garlic was then added to meat. But Lois could not find any hot peppers. She considered using sweet green ones and adding cayenne pepper. This would have been satisfactory However, she found a small bottle of chili powder in the grocery. She used the powder, following directions on the bottle. h In any case she added the mixture to one pound of rouad steak ground or cut in smal cubes. She added just enough water to keep meat covered and cooked slowly for two hours if cubes were used or one hour if chopped steak were used. She thickened the liquid slightly just before serving. Chili con carne is good served with boiled rice or baked po- tatoes. Sliced tomatoes or shredded | lettuce or coleslaw, or bread and but- | ter pickles are good accompaniments. Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. HIS is written by a woman who is apparently very intense n her religious life.

Perhaps she has am- bitions rome day to serve in a strange land among strange people as a bearer of the gospel. Seemingly she has some ability where the care of the sick is con- cerned.

Books would perhaps prove her favor- te recreational pastime. In particular she might enjoy reading about the lives of interesting feminine characters who have influenced world hjstory.
