But it remained for the war to waken the American mind to the fact that we, top, have superior articles of all sorts made from American materials and by conscientious American manufacturers, and, so far as women's styles in millinery, gowns, gloves and underwear

American fashion originators are showing themselves very clever indeed in grasping the peculiar requirements of the American woman.

Although we have the Juno type of beauty In America—tall, well rounded and sturdy—we have also evolved a type which seems to be almost a French prototype.

In trying to cut down expenses the housewife should sit down and consider carefully just which foods are the highest in price. Once this Is decided she should try to find cheaper substitutes and should endeavor to eliminate the expensive foods as far as possible from the menu.

For example, meat is practically the highest priced food on the market. In fact, It is so dear that it seems almost beyond the reach of the poorer families. The idea, then, is to try to eliminate meat as far as possible from the

BATTLE ROYAL AGAINST H. C. OF L.

rPHK chief aim of the housewife of today is to defeat the food trusts so far as to be able to live on a moderate salary per week. Her battle against high cost of living is the most engrossing thing In her whole existence, and it takes almost every minute of her day thinking out meals whieh will be as cheap as possible. Any ideas for Inexpensive living are welcomed as a fresh supply of ammunition In this uneven warfare.

menu and to flnd fitting and suitable substitutes to take its place. The housewife will be amazed when she has once started on this battle royal against the meat trust to find that It 19 far from the difficult task She may have Imagined to do without meat. There Is no end Of satisfactory substitutes. and the lack of meat will hardly be felt if the housewife is olever.

And, really, if the prices are ever to be lowered, women must force It by refusing to buy. So long as housewives keep right on buying meat it does not matter a particle how much they grumble. Their grumbling will not affect the meat trust In the slightest degree. But if all housewives refuse to purchase meat at its present exaggerated rates the trust will be compelled to lower its rates. A firm, decided boycott is the only thing th'at will bring about this desired result.

Now, let us consider a few meatless menus whieh will serve as samples of

And while the styles fit the Juno type, which, I think, is seen more frequently

the regimen to be followed during a possible boycott. There are always fish, oysters and other sea food to fall back on. Then there are endless vegetable dishes which are quite as filling and have almost as much sustenance as meat. Macaroni and spaghetti can be used in many forms as the main course on a meatless menu. Spaghetti cooked as the Italians cook it needs nothing else as an accompaniment.

Then there are home baked beans. There are numerous souffles, cheese, rice, etc., which make a delicious meal, with a few vegetables on the side. The more one considers the more substitutes are suggested until meat no longer seems a necessity. Not only is it possible to have meatless meals, but it is quite possible to have a variety as well.

A possible list of menus for a week's dinners Is suggested here: Monday ijight, tomato soup, rice souffle with green peas and potatoes, a fruit pie and coffee Tuesday night, cream of celery soiip, fried oysters, potatoes, squash, pmJdlng and coffee Wednesday, spaghetti a 1'Itallan with a romaine salad: Brown Betty pudding and coffee Thursday, pea soup, baked beSms, corn on the cob, potatoes, celery and apple salad, peach tart and coffee Friday, baked fish, lima beans, potatoes, rice pudding Saturday, cream of corn soup, omelet, potatoes, spinach, Sliced peaches and cream and cake Sunday, clam chowder, baked macaroni, potatoes, salad, ice cream and cake.

HAVE YOU A POCKET?

TS It really true? This is the question which all women have been asking one another in awed whispers for many months past concerning the rumored return of the pocket. A leading fashion expert says that the final decision has been made and that autumn models of smart gowns are to be furnished with pockets. "The style of the new frocks, with their innumerable flouncings and draperies, is eminently suitable for the introduction of a pocket," it was stated, "and no woman need forego the luxury of a pocket for fear of Its destroying the graceful folds of the skirt. The new skirt pockets are so scientifically cut and so unostentatiously inserted that they have little in common with the old fashioned pocket, which bulged out at the side or at the back. Pockets are to have no specified position. Their insertion at any convenient height in the skirt will be entirely left to the discretion of the dressmaker."

WHAT THE COOK SAYS. /"lOOK always serves such crisp, nice vegetables. She says just as soon as possible our vegetables and fruits should be put away into the icebox. Lettuce may be separated, washed, wrapped in oiled paper and laid close to the ice. This insures a cold, crisp, delicious salad. Vegetables should never be soaked in salt water for freshening purposes, for the salt acts directly upon the vegetable, leaving a wilted vegetable as a result.

"YTERY little importance is attached to Halloween, but in its day it was of some importance. It is the evening before All Saints' day and once had religious significance, but it comes down to us today with nothing to remind us of any of that significance save the pranks of the so called witches, the appearance of "ghosts" and all that is uncanny, prophetic and even absurd.

The question that might come up for consideration is, Shall we teach the children what is originally meant or Just let them continue to regard it as an evening to play pranks on our neighbors and superstitious maidservants? There is little harm in this latter decision so long as their play remains within the bounds of good nature and good sense.

But such a thing as lasting harm to any one, either In his property or person, should be strictly forbidden. Each of your children should be carefully instructed in this, and then let them run at large. There will be many "scareful things" for the little ones, and the evening may be made "fearious" to them, and in view of this very fact it is wise to talk with the child during the day preceding the evening's fun and assure him that the white sheet or pillowcase with holes in it for eyes really only covers brother or Jimmie Brown from next door.

Put the pillowcase over his own little head and let him see himself in a mirror. Also adjust the sheet for this same purpose. If he is too young for anything but the position of onlooker, and that, too, from the front window only, stand there beside him and see that he enters into the fun as fun and not with any degree of fear. Try as you may, he will be hysterical in spite of your efforts to prevent this, for there is a touch of the unreal even in what he knows to be the contrary.

Note any child who is beginning to show signs of fear and draw him into the play as part of it rather than one looking on. The old entertainment of ducking for apples, which results in dripping locks and wet faces and consequent sore throats for those who have to go home through the chill of the evening afterward, may be replaced by the apple hung by a string from the chandelier and gently set in motion. The children are to bite this without touching it with their hands. Also buy a quart of peanuts, write the initials of each child on ten peanuts and then hide the nuts in various places about the room or rooms.
