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 Dally Timas how the many present-dav 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.)

TUESDAY. Mr. and Mrs. Hooper had determined to keep their trouble and anxiety from the children as much as possible as there was nothing to be gained by making them Unhappy over the situation In which they so unexpectedly found themselves. The possibility of Henry losing his job with the consequent cutting off of the weekly income that had been theirs for so many years had never occurred to either of them. The firm seemed so stable and reliable and prosperous and Henry had been with them for over twenty. year*, that It seemed logical that as long as his health permitted him to continue at work that a job In their office would be i his. They had no concern as to his health as his regular mode of living and Mrs. Hooper's care of his food kept him always well so that he never missed a day from the office. The loss of his Job had come like a bolt out of a clear sky. Mrs. Hooper's insistence that he would get another one easily was short lived. Henry reminded her that In the business world he would be looked upon as an old man, and while he might have remained In that place he had for many years to come end render efficient service, It would be Impossible to convince anew employer that he was as good as a younger man. Then he rather belonged to the old-fashioned school of office worker, who had not found it necessary to keep up with the various new tangled methods that were considered essential if a man were looking for a job. It was a most unfortunate time to be without w-nrk because the city was filled with men out of employment, who had been looking for work for months and haa been unable to find it. "I don't just know what we'll do. said Mrs. Hooper helplessly looking at Henry as he sat on a box In the laundry, while she went on with the washing. “It is all so unexpected—this calamity—and one for which I seem to have made no provision, and the little money we have on hand will be exhausted in a very little while if there Is to be no money coming In every week." “Well I shall go up to the city tomorrow and look for another job.' Henry went on, “because there is no question but that I must find something to do In order that we may go on living, and in the end of course there will be something for me. AVhat worries me is that It may take so long for me to get started again that we will begin to go in debt.” “Your two weeks' salary that the firm paid yon In advance will keep us going as though nothing had happened until the first of the year, and by that time something will certainly hare turned up.” Mrs. Hooper spoke more hopefully than she had yet done as she put her clothes Into the basket, and prepared to hang them out. as the day was unusually fine for late December. “It seems so dreadful to have this happen Just at Christmas which has always been such a happy one for the children.” observed Mr. Hooper gloomily. “I suppose we ought to give up all Idea of a ■ Christmas dinner now."

“I don't believe that will be necessary. I shall be very economical, and with the exception of buying a turkey I shall not get another thing hardly, but Just put the dinner together from what I have in the storeroom.” “Perhaps you are right. Mary." said Henry, “If we are tq have a hard time next year and taste some of the sufferings of unemployment the children might as well have a pleasant memory of this Christinas.” The menu for the three meals Wednesday Is: BREAKFAST Apple Sauce Cereal Scrambled Eggs Coffee Com Bread LUNCHEON' Baked Spaghetti and Tomato Lettuce Sandwiches Gingerbread ‘ Milk DINNER Vegetable Soup Veal Loaf Stewed Tomatoes Pickled Beets Baked Potatoes Raisin Rice Pudding —Copyright, 192 L CHOWDER A LA CREOLE.

Has a man like this proposed to you? Bymptoms: Rather disheveled; looks as if his clothes •were less on his mind than on his figure. His hair is a bit gray bruehed straight off his forehead and stands up a bit. His eye is dreamy, his life seems seamy. He seems unanchored and yet trying hard to do something. He i3 always a little unstrung. Yet his violin never is. It seems to be his life. IN FACT He fiddles his life away. Prescription to his bride: wL Play second violin as best you can.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. | 'By David Cory ——— From their hiding place behind the big tree Puss Junior and Tom Thumb watched Froggy kneeling beneath the window of Miss Mousey’s little house. Pretty soon she leaned out of the window and tickled him ou the head and then Froggy began to sing; “A tiny house I have hard by, ’Tls built among the rushes; You shall have dainties every day, With hips from wild rose bushes.” “I should like to know what ‘hips’ are?” Tom Thump whispered to Puss Junior. “They're the fruit of the dog-rose, or wild brier, as some people call it,” answered Puss Junior. "But Just look at Mousey.” “I wish I were an artist, i’d draw her picture,” said Tom Thumb; “she looks so cunning, ler.nlng out of the window. I guess Frcggy thought so, too, for he stood or. Up-toe and tried to climb into her house. "Miss Mousey simpered and looked prim, Then modestly she said, I do admire your yellow dress, And handsome scarf of red. Oh, how can I resist that tongue. Those eyes of golden rod ? Yotir offer I accept at once, And will no other wed.” ‘'There’ll boa wedding now. and we must be invited,” said Tom Thumb. “I'm afraid Miss Mousey will be afraid of me,” replied Puss Junior. “I like weddings. I love to hear the wedding chimes; It is the happiest of times; it even makes me talk In rhymes.” “Let’s walk over to Miss Mousey's house. I’ll go first, for she won’t be afraid of me,” said Tom Thumb. And then he left his hiding place and walked boldly over to Miss Mousey’s house, whore Froggy was stiil standing beneath the window. "Miss Mousey, let me present Mr. Tom Thumb," said Froggy, and then Miss Mousey began to smile. But when Tom Thumb said, ‘“My friend, Puss In Boots Junior Is waiting near yonder tree. >!ay I bring him over?” Miss Mousey tegan to shiver. “Oh, he won’t hurt you,” said Tom quickly. “Are you sure?" she asked. “Well, you may bring him here,” she said, after Tom Thumb had told her what a noble cat was Puss in Boots Junior. —Copyright, 1921.
