IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS
Keeping House With the Hoopers
- [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] THURSDAY. "How about Roger having anew hat?” asked Mr. Hooper as he and Roger came Into the dining room for breakfast. “He has been wearing that one to school since the session began, and it looks pretty shabby for church nest Sunday, don't you Ihink?’” "Yes, and now that you have anew one,” answered Mrs. Hooper, "it looks worse than ever, of course, for a best hat, but I think I can get him one here in Mayfield after all that is as good as the one you bought for yourself last week.” *T don't telieve I did get a very good bargain in that hat,” said Mr. Hooper dubiously, "though I paid enough for it to be assured of excellent quality.” "What you pay for a thing, Henry,” said Mrs. Hooper severely, “has nothing whatever to do with the quality. Your own common sense just has to tell you whether it is up to standard or not. I don’t believe you care whether that brown hat j s serviceable or not and would Jnst as soon see it wear out quickly because you don’t like it.” Mr. Hooper laughed good naturydly. *>'ow, Mary. I don't dislike brown s as much as that. I was in i hurry and I took the first one the clerk showed me without realizing until afterward that I might hav e had a better selection either there or somewhere else.” “That's why I always hate to trust you to do any shopping for yourself, Henry,” said Mrs. Hooper. “You never do get value for your money somehow^ "Well what about my hat, mother?” asked Roger, “do I get one this week? I haven't had anew thing this winter except my shoes and the suit you had put away for me since last spring.’ “You really don't need anything else Roger, except the hat, which I will get for you today when I go in town if I can find what I want,” repller Mrs. Hooper as she helped him to his breakfast. “Your overcoat looks very well indeed, because I had it cleaned and pressed before it was put away, and it has come ont looking like new; the only worry 1 have about it is that you are really growing so that ft may be too small for you before spring when T plan to buy you a new one for next winter.” ”1 thought I was going to have anew hat to wear with my coat,” piped up Helen, fearful of being edged out of her position in line for something new to wear at the suggestion that it was F.og,er’s turn to have something this week. “I want to wear-my red coat to church Sunday and my old hat doesn't ‘go tight' with it at all, mother.” ”1 know It, dear,” answered Mrs. Hooper. “You could have worn the coat last Sunday if It hadn't been for your hat,” said Mrs. Hooper, “that's one disadvantage of getting new clothes that are so bright colored because nothing that you have goes well with them and you have to buy everything new to match.” it is such a lovely coat. Mary,” laughed Mr. Hooper, “that I’m sure Helen would be almost willing to go bareheaded in that red one rather than have anew hat with a coat that wasn't as bright colored.”

Men You May Marry By ETHEL R. PEYSER Has a man like this proposed to you? Symptoms: Well set up, 60 odd years, face like granite, handsome; his speech of the soil but vulgar, probably from some farm district and proud of it. Tall, with keen, piercing eyes. A man with a mind of his own —yet particularly kind in speech. A hard man yet a prosperous man who has made a bad early marriage. Wants to marry you, as his rock-like exterior isn’t true of all his being. He misses tenderness in his life. IN FACT His middle name is "Misses,” even if he is a man. Prescription to his bride: 0/J Use discreet explosive mixtures often. m/Jj, Tfy to soften him by right and careful mixtures i of tenderness and sentiment and hard tack. Absorb This: THE RIGHT BLAST WILL SHATTER ANY ROCK. (Copyright, 1921.)
Helen looked dubious at the suggestion that she would take any pleasure going hatless but her mother went on quickly. “I'm quite sure it will be very hard to match -that color In a felt hat Helen," said her mother, “so I'm not going to try. I shall get a little frame when 1 am in town today and cover it with a piece of the material that is left from your coat, and theu put a band of, fur around the crown. I have Just a scrap but it will lie enough I'm sure.” “And can't 1 have something hanging down over my ear?” inquired Helen. Roger hooted at this. “Put a little bunch of vegetables on it mother. Two or three little dangling carrots or a few onLns. All the girls in my class at ■jchool have cherries or currants or little plums lobbing over their cars, but-of course Helen would want, something different." Helen was ready to retort sharply but her mother prevented her by saying quickly. “I’m sure I can make a little ornament of some ribbon of the same shade cjt Into shape and filled with cotton that will be Just what you will l!l:e my dear.” Helen beamed on her mother with pleasure and then said after a pause, "1 just wish I could have one more tiling?" “I see where I’ll have to wear my old hat all winter,” groaned Roger, “if she goes on thinking u.) things she wants." “What is it you’d like?" asked her father encouragingly, ignoring Roger’s plaint. “A pair of red stocki. gs!” said Helen meekly. “Red stockings!” exclaimed her father. “I didn't know they made stoc—ngs red.” “Oh yes, they do.” Helen hurried to assure him. “Alice Briggs has a lovely pair to match her dress.”

"I thought so,” was Roger's jeering comment as he ate his fruit. “Helen Is quite right in wanting her stockings to match her coat aid hat,” interrupted Mrs. Hooper, "but . gain I think it would be hard io find that shade in stockings. I will take an old pair of your white ones and dye them the exact color when I am dying the material for Betty's coat next week. Then that will fix you all up, Helen." As there was a good deal of marketing as weli as the shopping suggested by the conversation at the breakfast table, Mrs. Hooper made an early start for town after luncheon leaving her mother with Betty, who was now so .improved that there was no doubt that she could come down stairs on Sunday. Peppers and apples seemed to be bargains in the vegetable and frnit line, and Mrs. Hopper decided to utilize them The family had been clamoring for sau sage of which they were very fond and with the coming of real cold weather she determined to indulge them. Milk and butter and eggs were going up a trifle she found but when eggs became a bit more expensive as they were sure to do she had her reserve of water preserved eggs that she had “put down" in the summer to fall back on.

Clean, trim and wrap the fish in a ! clean piece of cheesecloth <*r mosquito netting, tying it firm. hut to boll in salted water to cover Mie fish well, and add one tablespoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of vinegar or lemon juice to three quarts of water. This ends to whiten and harden the flesh of the fish as well as season it. A bay leaf and 1 soup vegetables improve the flavor of | haddock and cod. Be sure the. water ts ; boiling hot when you put the fish in; let it come to the boiling point, then lower the heat to the simmering point, for fish needs the same kind of rooking we give eggs, as it is largely albumen. The fish kettle ts necessary when the fish is to be served whole, hut in any case it is best to wrap in the cloth, although it can be tied into shape and rested on the strainer of the kettle. Allow ten minutes to the pound after the water begins to simiupr. In preparing a fish to boil or bake that is to be served whole, it is much better to have it drawn from the throat. It cap be nicely done, and to keep it in shape, ts you do not use fish stuffing. It is .veil to put a carrot in it to hold it firm, and prop it on the sides with either turnips or potatoes. Garnish with parsley and siloes of lemon, and hard boiled eggs, placing the garnish at head and tail, leaving the platter free on the sides for the carver. Boiled tish should be served with a rich sauce-drawn butter. Uollandaise or Bechamel. In the drawn butter sauce, put finely chopped hard boiled eggs.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory
Well, as I told you in the last story, there came a loud knocking at the door of the little wooden house where Mr. Tommy-Tittlemouse lived and where, you remember, Puss junior was making a call in order to find out how best to reach his famous father, Puss in Boots. Then the knocking became louder and louder, and the parrot in the cage by the window pulled the curtains to one side and peeked out. And theu she turned and said: One, two, here is Lou; Three, four, at the door; Five six, in a fix; Seven, eight, let him wait; Nine, ten, he’ll knock .' gain. Os course, Puss Junior had come inside the room and, like a well-behaved cat, had closed the door after-him, and I suppose It had one of those clicking locks so that no one could open it from the outside unless he had a key. And then, just as the parrot said, the knocking commenced again. "Shall I open the door?” asked Puss, but Mrs. TitUemouse began to scream. “No, No! Don’t you know who Lou ts?” Os course Puss didn’t, and why should any one expect him to know Lou in New Mother Goose Land. Don’t you know how some people are always asking you if you don't know Mr. This and Mr. That or Mrs. That and Mrs. This. “Lou is the pussy cat who lives next door,” whispered Mrs. Mouse, “and we never let her in for fear she might eat us. Even Polly Tarrot is afraid of her. Yes. we have to be very cureful for nowadays there are spies on every hand. Why, for a week or more an old owl sat outside the window watching Mr. Tittlemouse every time he came out of his doorway." Well, after a while the knocking stopped, and then Mrs. Tittlemouse told Puss Junior how to reach his father's castle, and Puss promised her in return that he would go to the house next door, and persuade Lou, the pussy eat, to let the Tittlemouse family alone. So he went across the little lawn that separated Ns ' r j quality mh to cream COolviHO left
