BOOKS TELL HOW TQ BE HOUSEWIFE Late Library Volumes Cover All Subjects of Home. The bride who desires to become an efficient housekeeper can find a large amount of material on the subject in the public library. The books cover everything from the efficient kitchen, which is discussed in a book by Georgle Boynton Child, to period furniture? Christine McGaffin Frederick, author of “The New Housekeeping," graduated from Northwestern university with a Phi Beta Kappa key, but even after her marriage found that nothing she had learned helped her to be an efficient housekeeper. BIKES TO WORK. LEISURE IS SCARCE. She liked to cook and sew, but as she says, “she never seemed to get anywhere,” and almost never bad any leisure time to herself. She began to hear about the newt movemen for industrial efficiency. She determined to learn what the term implied and to apply it to her own work. This book is the result. The book teaches women how to standardize their household operations and equipment, to save time and strain. There are also chapters on household finances and records in the household. She advises keeping a card Index file, not only for household accounts, but for everything that should be remembered, but usually is forgotten. One of the most valuable chapters tells how a housekeeper can reduce the cost of living by purchasing intelligently. “Inexpensive Furnishing In Good Taste," by Ekin Walllck, is a book of ideas for furnishing and decorating each room in a house. It has numerous illustrations. DIFFERENT ROOMS IN AVERAGE HOUSE. “Planning and Furnishing the Home.” by Mary J. Quinn, has chapters on the different rooms of the average home, giving practical and fairly economical suggestions for the artistic treatment of each. It includes a section on building a home, one on renting a house or an apartment and “doing” it over, two or three on period furniture, and a section on staining and refinlshing wood, painting furniture, etc., for the “handy hus-band-about-the-house." These books may be borrowed from the public library and kept for thirty

Confessions of a Bride ‘MY DEAR! MY DEAR!’ I SAID |

“I vow that I will set out in search I of daddy under spirit guidance,” Chrys said defiantly. “And I will start as soon as I get % little more testimony about him.” “My dear! My dear!” I exclaimed. “I have gone through some terrible experiences which I haven’t courted and haven't wanted, 'but 1 am a very mild little adventurer compared to you—ls you take a ghost for a guide! I tried, at least, to take along a little common sense. Surely, Chrys, you’ll never cut lose from your home and follow Instructions you obtain from that spelling board? How about Jordan Spence?” “I'll do just that,” she replied. “Jordan Spence loves me as I love him. He will humor me.” “I don’t feel so sure about that,” I said. “For the love of love, Chrys, let ns accept all this supernatural nonsense as—as literature. But let us not act In accordance with It.” “If the thing Is true at all, It must be a guide to conduct,” was the rejoinder. 1 was reminded for the hundredth tiine that Bob’s only sister Is a born fanatic when she sets out to have her own way. They say that she inherits her spirit from an ancestor whom Queen Mary burned at the stake. “Listen to reason, Chrys. We’ll hear from daddy soon. He will cable ns again, you'll see, when they make the next harbor. I, for one, have had all the adventure I want for a cycle of blue moons. I’m going to be passive and not interfere with the fates. Maj-be that Is a good theory—it's popular, but none of the Lorimers have ever experimented with it Well, I’m going to. Pretty soon Bob and I are going to open up our own little house again. And I am going to drift with the tide of life. I guess I’ll be as happy as l have been while leading a strenuous life. “Welcome destiny in however sinister a disguise,” quoted Chrys, with a shrug. I shivered. I couldn't help It. Our long talk had excited me. 1 knew that Chrys can be horribly pervere\ when her pet plans are not received with enthusiasm. Sometimes her own respect for her communications with the unseen effect of her speech and her manners and she really looks like a magnificent sybil or prophetess of ancient days. Perhaps the conversation with the ghost had made me creepy. I couldn't imagine any kind of a sinister destiny attached tp my pretty little home; nevertheless, I shuddered and had to force a little vivacity Into my voice when I answered; “I’ll take my luck a day at a time, my dear.” “The luck you need Is some kind of a steady job for that husband of yours." Plainly Chrys wanted to get away from our talk about the world of mysteries. “Bob has been brushing up against some Suffrage Victory to Be Celebrated A special session to commeroate the work of the suffrage pioneers will be held lu connection with the Franchise league convention at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis. April 6-8. As this is the last convention the Franchise league under that name will ever hold, the program committee has added a number of features which are not usually included and which will add greatly to the interest of the meeting. A brief survey of early suffrage activities In Indiana will be given, as far as possible by the women who took part in them, and there will be reminiscences of the difficult times of which the present generation has little conception. The men and women who worked for the cause in the early days, knowing that success could not come in their time, will be given special honor, and recognition will be given of all signal and special services to suffrage. Honor will be paid also to the memory of Ir. Shaw, who, while not a Hoosler, gave Inspiration to many Indianlans who came in direct contact with her.

He can t help being a millionaire’s son, and if he wants to study, study, day and night—” “Ho studies only when he hasn't got to rescue some fair damsel in distress,” was Chrys’ next thrust. What reason had she to remind me of that? “Bob is a 100 per cent husband, Chrys, and I am going to be a 100 per cent wife. He will play the knight errant for no fair maiden, ever again!" I said.

Plans Civic Work The local and civic programs of the New League of Women Voters are arousing the interest of the Franchise leagues over the state, almost to the exclusion of Its state and national features. Although they can not adopt the new name until after the state organization has done so at the state convention, several of the large leagues are holding meetings this week and next to prepare to take up a plan of civic activities. This part of the new league's work Includes the many things lu which women have been Interested for years, and for which they have organized from time to time countless committees, societies and clubs. Some of these have succeeded In their object, bus many have failed. In spite of the devotion of the Individual members, owing to the smallness of the societies. These matters can now' have behind them, if they desire, the impetus which comes from a large body of people, strongly organized, backed bv votes.

Motorists, Attention! Money—a Lot of Money—and We Will A year or more ago we began experimenting with tire “seconds” as a measure of cutting down the cost of upkeep on our delivery trucks. We proved these two facts: A poor tire, cheaply made, whether it be “first’’ or “second,” almost invariably proves to be expensive on account of the limited mileage it gives. A high-grade tire, even though a “second,” almost always proves to b© a “good buy.” HOW IS THIS FOR “SECONDS?” A few days ago we replaced a Portage “second” which had 5,671 miles to its credit. Its mate, also a Portage second,’ has now traveled 6,743 miles and looks good far another hundred or so, 1 ires which perform that well on delivery trucks (these were “seconds”) ought to do much better on pleasuro cars. ‘ ' A TIRE PURCHASE AND A SALE from the Rubber City Clearing House Company of'Akron, through their Indiana representative, Chas. H. Franck, wc have secured aild offer for immediate sale the following high-grade casings. They are blemished “seconds, and arn sold with only a nominal guarantee, but they will give splendid service, we know. Vv o bought these tires before the recent advance, which, as you know, ranged from 15% to 30%, and you get all the benefit of that additional saving.

Braids used exclusively and braids combined with straws of different sorts. And then one sees the many delightful straw models —the straws combined with taffeta, tulle or ribbon. The sports hats, sailors and other modes —semi-dress and afternoon hats in sprightly colorings—hats for all occasions. Modes of trimming do not stop at flowers or ribbon, ostrich and teather fancies, or even rich embroidery, but take in vegetable life in the form of cunning small fruits.
