Che Woman's Corner
The arrangement of tho home
should be according* to the occupa
tion of the dwellers, both of those
who go out into the industrial ana
business wrorld, and of those "who re
main at home. Arrangement of
furniture and equipment all empha
the thought of beauty and econ
omy of effort. The different parts of
the house express, each, a different
problem, and these are met with the
expert knowledge gathered from the
most efficient and experienced stu
dents of household economy.
Much emphasis put upon the need
of tho information on up-to-the-min
ute processes for economizing time,
so that women may be able to give
more attention to reading and com
munity activity. So much material
may be obtained from the free gov
ernment bulletins and the best maga
zines, that there is no reason for any
housekeeper to feel her work Is
drudgery.
Quickly Made Traveling Bag.
A very pretty and quickly-made
traveling bag can be made with an
eleven inch square of pink linen. Bind
tlie entire square with white tape,
then fold one side of the linen to one
third the depth. Featherstitch into
•ive pockets, three narrow ones and
two wide ones, placing a narrow one
in tho center at each end, with the
Wide ones between. The edges where
the square Is folded are overhanded
together. The small pockets are for
toothpaste, toothbrush and cold
cream, the larger ones for talcum
powder and powder puft. If the
toothbrush is enclosed In α glass case,
the pocket need not be rubber lined.
Fasten a piece of tape In the center of
the side opposite the pockets. This is
folded over and the tape tied around
the case.—Kxchange.
Preserving Celery I/oaves.
To have always on hand a supply
of celery leaves for soups, trim off the
green leaves before serving the relery,
wash, drain and place in a. warm oven
for α few hours; when thoroughly
dry, crush them and put in a tin can
with a cover. A pinch of this powder
gives a more delicate flavor to pressed
meat and stews than does celery seed.
—Exchange.
Household Xotee.
— Keep the stove shut up when not
in use.
—The house should be flooded with
fresh air twice a day.
—Use thin pans and kettles over
gas; they heat quickly.
-—A little kerosene will remove fin
germarks from white wood.
—Keep a paint brush in turpentine
to keep it soft between usings.
—Aluminum should never bo clean
ed with strong soap or scouring pow
der.
—It is never economy to allow the
refrigerator to be nearly empty of ice.
—It Is a question whether very
much making over of dresses is gen
uine economy.
—A dash of lemon juice in water
makes a good tooth wash and sweet
ens the breath.
—Don't forget to close the refriger
ator door each time it is used. It will
save ice.
—When you wash a child's tani-o
shanter hat, dry it over a dinner plat·
and it will not shrink.
—A white kitchen is not only
cheerful, but it makes dirt so appar
ent that it has no chance to hide.
