(BY HORTENSE BAUNDERS) New York, Oct. 31—Housekeeping no longer is any job for a red. blooded, two-fisted woman.

You need only to have attended the Electrical and Industrial Exposi. tion at the Grand Central Palace here to realize how Edison and the other electrical scientists of the day have. made the switchboard rathr than the hearth the touchstone of modern life. Consider a day in the life of an electrically-minded couple. They are aroysed by the alarm from a springless electric clock, in which a tiny electric motor eliminates wind- ing, olling, regulating and cleaning and assures accuracy. ‘There is no ice man to let in at an early hour, Theres' always ico in the electric ice box, or one can have iceless drinking water, elec- trically cooled, by just hooking up a nice white tank to the wall—bottled or tap water, it makes no difference to the machine. “Some folks so dam amart,” m little maid muttered vindictively, “dey no listen ven I vant taik, dey ahoost kin vait vun goot long vile till 1 get ready to tell sometings.” I took the report of my futile mis- sion back to Katherine and Lillian, but neither then nor during the next day which preceded Lillian's de- parture, could we hit upon any plan for opening Katie's obdurate lips. Yet we all felt that my sullen littie maid perhaps held the Key to the mysterious Janet Rawdon to whom Mary was checking out the greater part of her allowance each week. I worried over the thing inordi- nately during Lillian's absence, and when she returned with Marion from their mountain trip, browned, rosy and with an air of tranquillity which spoke of soothed nerves, her first question when we were alone told me that she, too, had been con- cerned over Katie's obstinate silence, “Has Katie spilled anything yet?" she asked. ‘Not a word,” T told her.

CHATTERER’S STOREHOUSE By Thornton W. Burgess Put your treasurs safe away "Tfl there comes a needful day. —Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Feature Service, Inc. Chatterer the Red 8quirrel was a; very busy small person, He was cutting pine cones and spruce cones and fir cones. They kept falling, falling, falling to the ground. The best part of it all was that Chatter- er knew that it was perfectly safe to cut them and let them fall to the ground that way, for there was no one else with the expertness and patience to open them. 8o all he had to do was to cut them before they opened on the trees and then let them lie on the ground until such time as he got ready to open them, “It 18 clear to me,” said Chatterer 88 he thought things over, “that food is going to be scarce with many 1 folks this winter. hat being the case, 1 shall have to store these pine ®eeds and fir seeds and spruce seeds Wwith extra care. T must get a store- house that no one else will be likely to discover.” So, leaving the cones where they Rad fallen on the ground, Chatterer | ospent a great deal of time during| the next two or three days looking for & storehouse. He still had his ©ld storehouses, but he wanted a new one. He knew that when snow and ice came and Happy Jack the Gray Bquirrel and Rusty the Fox Bquirrel felt the pinch of hunger they would be quite likely to search long and hard for his storchouses. He suspected that they had an idea Wwhere a couple of these storehouses were, 80 he wanted a new one, a better one than any of the others. It took a lot of searching for Chatterer to find just what he want- ed, but he did find it at last. It wasn't in a tree. It was in the ground. It was a hollow big stump. There was no entrance to by way of a hole in the ground. It was reached through a knothole several feet above the ground. That knot- hole was just big enough for Chat- terer to use. Happy Jack the Gray Bquirrel, or Rusty the Fox Squirrel, would have been unable to even push their heads through. Inside there was a small hollow passage extending all the way down the trunk to the roots. There Chatter- er had done a little work and had made an opening that led into this nice, dry cavity underncath the stump. for & storehouse. Having found his storchouse, Chatterer set to work to lay in his winter's supply of sccds. With those sharp little tecth of his he snipped oft the scales of the pine co; ‘the fir cones and the spruc and pulled out the little tween. These he carried to new storchouse. My, my, what a busy fellow Chatterer was! It was astonishing how fast he could snip those little scales from the cones. ‘They made a carpet, did those little brown scales. And Chatterer was happy. He was so happy that he didn’t have time to scold anybody. Several times Happy Jack Squir- cones that rel and Rusty the Fox Squirrel came | eng and watched Chatterer at work. They did their best to find lout where he was storing away those seeds. right on top of that big stump. Bu' though they spied and did their be 10 find out Chatterer's secret, they never did.

Guiding Your Child CONDEMNING THE SUN By Mrs. Agnes Lyne When the child has done a mis- deced we must condemn the act but not the child who has done it. The child who tells a lie is not a liar. The child who steals is not a thief. ‘When, by calling him an accusing name, we assume that the wrong| doing is a part of his character, it actually does become a part of him. | His ideal of himself is impaired. His self respect is injured. He thinks of bimself as a wicked person. Since his mother thinks he is bad he might as well be bad and have some fun out of it. If on the other hand we let the chiMd feel .that we condemn his wrong doing but that we do not con- sider it a part of him, he does not identify himself with his act. He still thinks of himself as a good boy |nnd is eager to be rid of his fault. Bradley coveted his sister's paint | ! box and sinfully secretly, he appro- priated it. His mother discovered his thef and, in a spirit which implied that she was grieved over what he it's nothing at all, and may be done for the entire family in less than an hour—the washing, blueing, rinsing and drying—without once handling the clothes. Current and an electric washer are all you need. Then the enterprising housewife plugs in another line and proceeds with the froniag, using the new electric froner with the piano touch and forearm control—combining the technique of music and motoring. For luncheon, Mrs. B8o-and-8o plugs in the power unit, and beans and peas are shelled in a jiffy. Food may bo chopped electrically, eggs and mayonnaise beaten, the cake mixed, the coffee ground, the ice crushed, and the ice cream frozen— and an automatic release will pre- vent the over-freesing of the ice cream i the housewife should be busy at another switch. After luncheon it would be well to do the week's darning. Electri- cally approached, it is the work of only a minute. The new hosiery repair machine mends an average run in a silk stocking in 15 seconds. Beat that, if you can. About this time the housewife should turn to preserving her health and beauty electrically, so that her husband will have no excuse for falling in 1ove with his stenographer. She 1hay, nattily goggled, sit for & few minutes in the direct rays of an electrical sun. This will give her & swell Lido finish, at a fraction of the regular cost. Then if she craves power, health, atrength and energy—though there’s no outlet for it in her home now— she can lle down for a few minutes on the energizing couch or go for a refreshing ride on the electric horse or camel. This, too, is a good time to fight flesh. Just let her attach another plug and a vibrating belt redistrib- utes her flesh along any desired lines. She will also be fighting rheumatism, sclatica, neuralgia, high blood pressure, nostalgia and prac- tically everything else of the sort. ‘When the husband returgs from his day at the office, panting for hia cocktail, he need not chop ice and wear himself out wielding the shaker. He squeezes his lemons and oranges electrically, and pours his liquids and ice into an automatic mixer. No one has a chance to pass out from thirst before the drinks are served.

P— For the first time in history a group of Mohammedan maidens of Af- ghanistan are going to be sent abroad to study in Christian lands. King Amanullah, who has thrown aside many traditions since his Eu- ropean tour, is sending the girls abroad. He told the “Durbar,” the new legislative assembly, that they would go to various schools in dif- had done just as he must be, she talked the matter over. She told him she did not in the least blame him for wanting such & beautiful box of paints. But, she pointed out, on the very day when they had disappeared, sister 'had needed them to color some maps. She had to go to school with her work unfinished. Certainly that was too bad. Bister would have a right to be very angry with him. What should they do about it? By this time Bradley was as trou- tled as his mother. Straightway he suggested that he put back the paints in the drawer where he had faund them, perhaps sister would think &«he had not looked carefully when, the day before, she had been unable to find them. Surely, his mother agreed, that was a fine idea. But Bradley's mother did not stop until she had given further sup- port to his image of himselt as an honest fellow. She told him that if he really wanted a paint box he could soon earn enough meney to buy one by doing certain jobs about the house and garden. Thus she made him understand what he had done. She made him resolve inwardly never to slip that way again. She gave him the means of getting what he wanted by hon- orable methods. ferent countries, Fashion Plaque ////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\m\\\\\ \\\\\\\\“\\\“\\\\\“‘\\\\\\\\\Y\\\\\\\\\\\X\\“\“\“\\\“\\\\V?\\\\\\\\\\ R RN RN R Q L An unuuually long and full black mesh veil falls from the edge of a closc-fitting turban fashioned of bands of plaited black felt. finished and intricate, the tech- pique of perfuming follows suit. To have one's perfume obvious is not in keepng with the delicate femininity and charm of the pres- ent modes. A Real Problem . Lucien Lelong, Parisian coutut fer and perfumer, said recently, “I consider that the use of perfum- ery has grown to be one of the chief problems of present-day dress. Women constantly ask me, ‘How much shall I use? How shall T use it? 1 don’t want to reek of perfumery, but I do want people to realize that I am using a rare essence, chosen with discrim- ination.” " He lays down as a first rule In the art of perfuming: *“The most satisfactory use perfume is directly on the skin, after the morning bath. One should take a brisk friction rub, especally on the arms and chest, using a toilet water of the same odor as one's extract and a horse- hair mit on the hand. It sends the blood coursing through the skin and also acts as a preventive against chills and cold. Used on Hair “Perfumery may be ishly on the hair. It should be applied in a fine spray, with es- pecial care to also perfume the skin at the back of the neck and behind the ears. “In Europe fastidious women always perfume their hands after washing them, for the hand of a lady is kissed in Europe, not shak- en, and the elegante realizes the delicate pleasure of a faintly fra- grant skim" All the best rules for perfum- ing stress the delicacy with which one should apply it. It must be an elusive, alluring scent, or half the charm is lost. That is why it is astonishing to realize that num- bers of otherwise well-groomed women still make the mistake of just dumping perfume on their handkerchiefs or frocks when they finish dressing. Paris has introduced a new fashion that is in reality a key to the modern technique of perfum- ing. Paris now uses high power- ed sprays and perfume burners to perfume apartments, the salons of couturiers, even theaters. The scent is often reminiscent of pines and other fresh woodsy odors, re- freshing and delightful. Perfume Rules This idea of circulating perfum- ery through the ait suggests the circulating of perfumery through one’s entire wardrobe, instead of concentrating on a single apot. The following rules for applying perfumery are based on this idea. 1. Spray your Yfi?- ?66ycirc 1. Spray with your favorite scent your wardrobe drawers where your lingerie 1is kept. Sup- plement this with pretty little silk sachets containing the same scent. 2. Pin scented sachets on your cont and frock hangers. Keep them in your shoes. 3. Never pour perfumery direct- ly on any garment, for fear it will stain, as well as give too pungent a scent. Spray your frocks and gowns. 4. Each time you finish wear- in a hat, air it and either put a sachet in its lining, or give it a little whiff of perfumery from your atomizer, 6. Furs and artificial ,flowers both should be perfumed. But vaguely, sparingly. For too deli- cate a smell of some scent alien to both furs and flowers is not gcod taste. 6. The only permissible applica- tion of perfumery when finished dressing is to spray the hair and touch the lobes of the ears with perfumery. of used lav- HOSIERY IDEAS New hosiery has begun a revolu- tion. The best style is to have the color almost match one’s shoes, per- haps being a shade or two lighter than dark grey or brown. But in- stead of being plain chiffon, new hosiery is not only mesh but striped, checked or plaided—invisibly—in self color. It is as if, growing con- servative in color, it can afford to take on some decorative design. Dinner—Rice and tomatoes, bak- ed sweet potatoes, bread, grape Jelly, head lettuce, mayonnaise, vae nills pudding, maple sauce, coffees Vegetable Soup, Serving Six (This may be reheated when served) One cup diced carrots, 1 cup diced potatoes, 1 cup cooked peas, 1-4 cup chopped onion, 1-2 cup diced celery, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-4 teaspoon pepper, 8 cups water., Mix all the ingredients and cook slowly in a covered pan for 2 hours, The vegetables may be pressed through a seive, but if they are cut in smail pleces, they are most palat- able without the mashing. Rice and Tomatoes, Serving Six Two cups cooked rice, 2 cups to- matoes, 1 cup bread or cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped on- fons, 2 tablespoons chopped green peppers (these may be omitted), 4 tablespoons butter, melted, 1-4 tea- spoon pepper.

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the egg, vanilla and water, Beat for 3 minutes. Add the fat and when well mixed, pour into a shallow pan or halt fill well greased muffin pans. If one pan is used, bake the pudding for 25 min- utes and if muffin pans are used, bake for 16 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve warm with maple sauce, Maple Sauce One-third cup sugar, 2 table- spoons flour, 1 cup maple syrup, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tea- spoon butter. Mix the sugar and flour, add the syrup and milk and cook over n moderate fire and stirring frequent- ly for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and serve warm over the puddings. Use jelly glasses to mold indl- vidual salads or desserts, which are to be frozen by packing in 3 parts chopped ice and 1 part coarse salt. Place. waxed papers over the foods in the glasses, and then cover with the lids that come with the jelly glasscs.
