Children of a class are individually | different. That must be taken into cansideration in teaching class les- sons. But there are powers and weak- nesses in each child. They, too, must | be taken into consideration and pro- vided for in this scheme. The child who cannot do any work in a certain subject, but does superior work in an- other, must have a special program. He goes to the specialist in the subject ; of his weakness, is tested, a scheme of work planned, or maybe. if conditions decree it, the subject is dropped for a time, or for all time. It all depends | upon the condition of the child. Gifted children, those strong in cer- tain lines of work. go to the group with | whom they can work best, regardless of ages or grades.

BY BETSY CASWELL. OOL, brisk October days— tweed suits and hot soups! Is there any type of food as stimulating on a crisp, cold | day—any food that is more valuable | or nutritive? ‘The kitchenette housekeeper, being | limited by time and space, may not | want to under- take the business : making an elaborate soup for | her small family, as does her culin- ary sister who is ; blessed with a spacious kitchen and a large family—she may even be tempted to exclude soups from her cuisine, thinking they are just a ot of bother, forget- ting that a wide choice of canned soups is available at the grocer’s. Manufacturers are constantly adding to the already well rounded list, new types and blends of soups and broths. Many of them are equal to any homemade concoction— some even superior. It is always well to have a generous and well assorted supply of canned soup on the emergency sheif—about three cans of each chosen should pro- vide a good reserve. Aside from the broths and consommes, stock up on the cream soups, chowders, purees and bisques—they will prove to be life savers the evening you are rushed and Betsy Caswell the usual amount of leftovers! * ok o*x % “YHEN one of these evenings pops up—and you are just as hungry as can be—and you have a can of mushroom soup and a can of calm| chowder in your larder—combine the | two—you will be delighted with the result. Not only is it delicious, but doubly nourishing. A salad tossed to- gethers, some hot rolls, a dessert and | hot beverage will round out the emer- gency meal with grand gusto! If your larder is bare of canned soups you may by a little ingenuity concoct a steaming bowl of home- | made soup by using a potato, an onion, a little milk. butter and flour. | Or. perhaps you have discovered a | little leftover squash .in the refrig- erator—that too, can be used as a base for another delicious and quickly made soup. Either of these are wholesome, and certainly simple to prepare. SQUASH SOUP. 1 cup cooked squash. 1 small cooked onion. 2 tablespoons butter. 1 tablespoon flour. Pepper and salt to taste. 2 cups milk. Rub the squash and onion through Dorothy | the seasonings and onion. | water to the milk and rice in the po- thicken with the butter and1 a fine sieve. Blend the butter and flour together. Add the squash and the seasoning, then the milk. Stir un- til it thickens. Remove from fire and serve with bread croutons or toast points. CREAM OF POTATO SOUP. 1 cup diced potatoes. 1 cup boiling water. 15 tablespoon grated onion. 1 teaspoon salt. Pepper. 1 pint milk, heated. 1 tablespoon butter., 1 tablespoon flour. Boil the potatoes in the water with tatoes; flour creamed together. This method of making cream of po- tato soup saves the minerals of the | potatoes and makes a creamy, rich soup. In place of the butter you may use one strip of bacon—it gives a very nice flavor and provides a little more nourishing soup. WEEKLY KITCHENETTE MENUS. MONDAY. Cream of Potato Soup.

OTS of modern women do not go domestic after marriage The role of wife, mother and housekeeper does not satis! them. They yearn for careers. Thev want to work outside of the home in- stead of in it. So we are confronted with the spectacle of hundreds ofi women, under no compulsion to earn money, who leave their children ana | houses to the care of servants whllel they devote their time and energy to | running tea places, or setting up Ye Olde Furniture Shoppes or seliing in- surance, real estate or whatnot. This is a great disappointment tc their husbands, who dreamed of being met, when they came home at night. by a smiling wife with the incense of savory cooking surrounding her like a halo, instead of having to wait din- | ner for a tired and bedraggled woman, all frazzled out with business “orries and anxieties, to drag herself to an ineffective cook’s conception of a meal. - These men consider that running a | house and rearing a family is not only a full woman’s size job, but that it is the job she contracted to do when she | 8ot married, and they want tc know how to get wife back onto it and to doing the work that is really her life- work. * kK ok OTHING could show more com- pletely how the social order has changed than that husbands should | now be asking how to keep their wives at home. Thirty years ago it him. Can you blame a woman who lives that sort of drab existence for wanting to chuck it and get a job dcwntown where she will, as least, have movement and life around her and a chance to exchange a few words with an articulate human being? * % % ELIEVE me, if husbands would try as hard to sell domesticity to their wives as they do a new stream- line effect in automobiles to a cus- tomer, there wouldn't be so many women trekking out of kitchens into offices. Just a little pleasant con- versation and a few of the good stories that set other people's dinner tables in a roar would do a lot toward keeping wives from hankering for the outside world where they would have some companionship.

BY ELSIE PIERCE. 'HE last time I was in Hollywood one of the couturiers said: “The | difference in dress between Cailfor« | nians and the women back East is | essentially a color difference.

That has something to do wtih it.” He should know. for his important business is to create the gowns of some of the leading film stars. And I do think that his observation about nshine is valid, too, because during the Summer we do take to colors. But in the Fall and Winter it is true that most women need more | color in their lives, Every year at this season the lovely Autumn shades are popular. We borrow from the turning leaves. But, where heretofore we have merely caught some of the greens, the cope | pers, browns and golds, this year Fashion hands us every possible varia= tion of these charming shades. And she takes liberties with some Spring hues, too; sc es her colors, creates | the most excit combinations.

No doubt you did, for little girls have worn them from time im- memorial and will probably always do so. White twills and blue linen for Summer, dark blue or wine-red serge for Winter. Did you long for a silk dress for parties? And a skirt and blouse, like other girls wore, for every day? You did, but if your mother was a fastidious person you wore white serge, with a blue collar, for parties and dark blue for school. Sailor suits are an institution, a tradition. As well they should be, for they are about the | most becoming thing a Give your wife at home what she | would get abroad. One thing would bz appreciation. If she did good work, her employer would commend her for it. If she was faithful and loyal and devoted to her firm, if she worked | overtime, if she devised new ways of saving money, she would be patted on the back and told how invaluable she was. But husband takes all her labor and penny-pinching for granted and never remarks on her achieve- ments except to criticize them. So it | is no wonder she wants to change bosses. * X X X% AND if your wife is young and pretty away from home she gets flattery and lovemaking.

Lamb Cookery Lamb requires more basting than any other meat if you wish to obtain the best flavor from it. A 5 answer then invariably was: Give your husband at home what he seeks abroad. Make your home as comfort- able and cheerful as any club. Give him as good food as he would get at a restaurant. Be as entertaining and amusing to him as any strange woman. Well, what was sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. No better advice for keeping a wife at home can be given than that which was offered to wives for keeping their husbands at home: Give wife at home what she seeks abroad. For men and women stray away from their own hearthstones for the same reason. Be- cause the fire has gone out on them and they are cold and dead and cheerless. * Kk K ok UPPOSE, then, Mr. Husband, if you want to keep your wife a home- body, you try making home more in~ teresting for her. Housework is dull and monotonous labor. It is sweeping floors that are littered the next min- ute. It is starting another meal be- fore the last one is fairly eaten. It is ordering the same old beef and pota- toes and onions and spinach day after day. It is washing the baby's face and getting the children off to school, doing a thousand chores that only take up one lobe of one’s brains, and | domestic utensil. | on angels’ food. Her husband stuffs | dust and ashes in her mouth. So it is no wonder she wants to leave home to be a saleswoman in a confectionery. It is because husbands don't provide homemade bonbons for their wives that they nibble on forbidden sweets. Finally, if husbands want to keep their wives at home, they must make the domestic job worthwhile. She mustn’t be expected to work for her board and clothes and never have a dollar that she can spend as she pleases. She must have her pay en- velope as well as the hired girl. It isn't enough for a man to say that all he has is his wife’s. He must give her her fair share of it if he wants to keep her from thinking of taking up stenography or going in for dress modeling.
