IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Articles Made by Hand Grow More Popular Purdue University Has Plan fc to Equip Women for Home Work. By JTLIA C. HENDERSON. The woman who does not know how to sew these days is to be pitied, for It is then her portion to be dressed from tip to toe in ready made garments, fresh from the shelves. If these be of the high priced variety, all well and good, but for the most part people must content themselves with the medium priced article which takes on a skimpy and pinched look, which, added to present day styles, makes one look poor indeed. The daintiness and grace of the handmade article Is being heralded everywhere and women are eagerly grasping the ways and means of learning deftness with the needle. What is true of sewing is true of housekeeping as well and young women are realizing that it is a part of real culture and education, to be alert in all that pertains to home making. Science in all these things is being taught in an intensive way in many of the schools and colleges of the country. Indiana, as in all things, is to the fore in this work and to this end an eight weeks’ course of training along these lines is to be held at Purdue University from Jan. 16 to March 11, at which sessions any Indiana woman over 18 years of age and having a good common school education may enter. This will be an oportunity for many a qiot only for service in her own home but for establishing a foundation for a means of livelihood. The lines of work will be interesting and valuable to farm and city women alike. The following lines of work will be given with no tuition fee to Indiana women, with but a $lO fee charged to cover the actual cost of materials in the various laboratories: 1. Meal planning and serving. 2. House planning and furnishing. 8. Designing and garment making. 4. Millinery. 5. Home nursing. 6. Care and management of child rea That there is a constant demand for Just such service as these courses will i’urnish will no doubt stimulate numbers of young Indiana women to take advantage of them.

MUSICAL FEAT PRESENTED BY IF NAI ITRITII Sophie Braslau Delights Hearers With Song at Caleb Mills Hall. One of the rare musical treats of the season was brought to Indianpoiis under the auspices of the Indianapolis No. L>B of the Independent Order of B'nai Rvßitlt last evening, when Sophie liras lau,, contralto, gave a concert in Caleb Mills Hall. The - (Sung artist, who has the appearance -f a slim, "tousledhaired” little gi i, wore a rrock of velvet in a rich of American beauty, fashioned on straight lines with short skirt and round girlish neckline. It seems almost improbable that, such a mature, gorgeous voice could come from such a slim child. The depth of her voice, the brilliancy and firmness of her higher tones are fairly startling, She has a voice that never for one moment causes her audience the slightest uneasiness as to pitch, breath control or unsteadiness. She not only has the voice but with it is combined her dramatic ability, her delightful unaffectedness and personal charm. Her program this season was not as varied as her concert here last spring, the first two groups being very similar In character, heavy, brilliant in spots but without opportunity for the singer to exhibit her delicacy of shading and the rare coloring that the quieter compositions offer. Os her Russian number.!, the fervent invocation to the River I‘neipr, Moussorgsiy's "On the Dneipr,” was perhaps her most artistic number if a differentiation could be made. Although It was sung la the native tongue, the audience felt the appeal and the force of the poet Schevehenke's dreams for independence for Russia. Her first group included two numbers, “The Distant Beloveu” (Bassanl), “Furibondo” (Handel), the second group Included “Vocalise, Song KWlthont Words, the Cry of Russia" (Rach (Tiianlnoff), the Dneipr number, “Berceuse,” “The Classicist,” both by Moussorgsky and the favorite Hebrew prayer, “Eiii, Kill” (Schalitt). Her third and fourth group were of more varied character, including songs of lighter texture. lu her third group Sibella’s dainty little love lyric, “I.a Girometta,” which was part of Miss Braslau’s other concert, was received with the greatest of enthusiasm. In the same division were "Semi Giorno Tornasse” (Respighi), “Cn Organetto Suona Per La Vie” (Sibeila) and “Weinacbten" (Werner Josten). Her last numbers included old favorites, such ns the joyous lilting "Robin Woman’s Song," from ('adman's "Shanewis,” and McNair 11genfritz’s “As We Part.” A gay dancing semi-pppnlar number was Lily Strickland's “Ma Li'l BatteaU.” Cecil Forsythe's “Rest'' made up the group. As extras she sang a Hebrew favorite, the old ballad, "The Sweetest Story Ever Told” and the "Habanera" from “Carmen," Miss Braslau playing her own accompaniment for the latter. Mrs.' Ethel Cave Cole played the accompaniments in most effective fashion. MEETINGS. The St. Cecilia Club of Sacred Heart Church, will give its third play next Sun day at the St. Cecilia Hall.

Mabel Wheeler Hobnobs With New Mayoress Talks of Sights at City Hall and Relates Interview With Sarah Shank.

BY MABEL WHEELER. It came to me all of a sudden this morning as I began to emerge from that restless, uncertain, reactionary state that follows a period of holiday hysteria, that I had not paid my respects to the new city hall residents. No sooner thought than done, and forthwith I sallied cityhallward, pondering on the frailty of the life of public officials. As I was literally blown in the door by the strong northeaster (or wester, whichever it might be), a big smoothshaven man with an indefinitely high forehead breezed airily out of the entry followed by what looked like a labor parade, white, black, men and women, with and without collars. “Howdy," says he to me. “Glad to see you." “Howdy,” said I to him. “What’s the excitement?” But he had disappeared in the twinkling of an eye with the mob still trailing him, leaving me rather puzzled over the familiarity of the face, but not for long, for a fellow bystander turned to me with an enthusiastic, "Some ; mayor, ain’t he?” and I proceeded on ; my way, having decided to drop in for a ; chat with Mrs. Shank. It sounded very simple but when I ; reached the vicinity of the mayor's office ' I found that evidently the greater part i of the city had neglected paying j their respects to the mayor and mayoress, j even as I had. until today, and were : massed like an army around the door, j Retracing my steps downward, I was • halted by a friend and comrade spirit , who with the ingenuity of the initiated, j personally conducted me through a maze ! of offices, down a secret stairway, exchanged a password or two at various gates, rapped three times on a formidable looking door, then—lo! —we were in the inner sanctum. MAYOR'S OFFICE REGULAR FLOWER GARDEN. I was unprepared for such an attractively appointed sanctum, however, for it was a flowery bower indeed, baskets, ! vases and bowls of blossoms everywhere, i It looked very much as If we had broken into a real gorgeous reception without cards. Handsomely suited and chapeaued, a group of women sat round chatting and in the center of the room was the hostess. Mrs. Samuel Lewis Shank, garbed in a handsomely beaded midnight blue overblouse with skirt of the same shade with. ! a smert black ostrich banded hat, gra 1 cicusly greeting this one and that one. i with an easy, quiet manner just ns if she had been born into “mayordom." She greeted us. pleasantly, introduced us to some of the guests and continued her conversation with a friend. After a few mo ments talk with our new acquaintances. I found that it was merely the usual course pursued after one has been Inaugurated as mayor, the guests were Jobseekers, heads of boards, and various appointees or would be appointees and Mrs. Shank was relieving the mayor's burden by interviewing as many as possible herself. And thpn, sorts between jumps, (here was a lull and (he leading lady pushed me a comfortable chair over beside her desk, dropped into her upholstered

chair and “me and Sarah” (all joking aside) had a jolly talk. With her cleareyed, straight-from-the-shoulder Judgment and her keen knowledge of people, she astonished me, whose acquaintance with her had been casual. “Yohi see, I know just about as much about folks as Lew. I have gone along with him through a lot of adventures. I traveled on the road for three years, and it was there that I gained a great deal of valuablel knowledge about all kinds of people in all parts of the country, not merely ns a disinterested tourist, but as a part of them. I learned to judge character; I made a study of it, in fact. Now I am in a position where the results of my many years of business and character study can be a help to my husband and the people themselves, I think. •SHE TALKS OK NEW WORK. “My work on the park board is going to be interesting, however. 1 felt that I should not take such a position; I felt that folk would think it was not right; just didn't feel comfortable about it, you know: but I guess I’ll try it a while and if there is any feeling, why I can leave. I think ye are going to do a lot of Interesting things, though, that everybody will like. Sir. Shank has some original Ideas for the children's recreational department that will please, I know. He is planning to have juvenile plays given for the children's benefit, among other things. Jarvis is a f ivorite among the children, too, aud I believe that we are going to get along famously, and yet not bo extravagant." She talked quite a bit about the old days on the road and of Mr. Shank's ability; she seems tremendously fond of friend husband. Just as I was leaving Mrs. Richard Lieber greeted me from the side lines, aecom panied by Clara Burnside, who halted me for a few minutes, Mrs. Shank joining us shortly. Wo had an exclusive little round table, just feminine frivol, however, clothes, hats, holiday parties and sueh. Mrs. Richer looking very unpollee-like in a clever dark blue stilt, chic feather hat of French blue. Miss Bujrnside between fashions, however, did remark that she is glad to be still with us to continue her work and that she thinks things are going to be very interesting. Mr? Liebi r also expressed herself as of the opinion that she is going to have a most interesting experience, but she Is taking It seriously nnd hopes to be able to put the information she gains to practical purposes. At present writing she snvs she is just a bit hazy as to what her duties arc to be and has no definite plans, but within a week or two she expects to get her bearings. And as anew onslaught of humanity, hoisted into view. 1 quietly made my exit, with a farewell wave at Fred Knodle, who in the front office was completely swamped by caper applicants, and one thousand and one phone calls. Being the new mayor’s secretary, I judged would certainly be no Job for a gentleman with high strung nerves and u delicate constitution.

Daily Fashion Hints By AGNES AYRES, Star in Paramount Pictures, Evening coats are as elaborate, varied and beautiful this year as are the frocks they cover. The one in the sketch is a rather conservative and simple affair, but both beautiful and unusual in design. Its hem line is irregular, falling in a long scallop in the back, while the points of the embroidered panels in the front accentuate its unevenness. The sleeves are the straight, shapeless affairs so much favored this autumn and are heavily embroidered to cover the absence of a cuff. Avery high soft collar Is made of a continuation of one of the front panels and is drawn about the throat in great folds, falling heavily over the left shoulder, weighted in place by huge self-color tassels. Perhaps the most startling feature of this wrap is its color scheme. Outside, flaunting itself in the public eye, it is chrysis red chiffon velvet, embroidered and tasseled with the same; inside it is a thin black silk that shows daringly at the mouth of the sleeves, where the folds of 'the ikirt fall back and along the edges.

Hunter, 2317 North Meridian street, wife of the business manager of the Indianapolis Advertising Club, is a gracious hostess at the meetings of the club held each Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. Hunter welcomes the women members and their guests, superintends details of the luncheon and is helpful In various ways to her busy husband. Mrs. Hunter formerly was a Terre Haute woman. It is evident women are finding the advertising field well suited to their ability and are entering It at a rapid rate. They also recognize the value of membership in the club, which is now open to men and women alike, and the advantages to be derived by those new In the w ork. The larger department stores of many cities, realizing the good *o be gained from having a woman’s viewpoint in an advertising capacity, are making daily use of the'r services. Their faculty for observing points overlooked In advertising is proving valuable to business men and women. Selling problems are many these days and the merchant who desires to place his merchandire attractively before the public Is seeking the brlghest and best minds of both sexes for its advancement. A recent advertisement in a local paper for a young woman as an assistant in department store advertising—college woman preferred—is proof positive of the search for the best equipped for this lln of work. The live wire membership of the Indianapolis Advertising Club is bringing to the fore many bright and capable women leaders lu this growing and Important field.

Goodness me! he was nearly fagged out, for pigs don't liko to trot nlong with n horse, nnd a hard roadway Is do place for pigs, anyway. “Twinkle, twinkle, little star,” murmured Tom Thumb. “Wish I had a motor car,” squeaked Piggle. “He, he, he, ha, ha, ha* But we haven't; there you arc!” cried Puss Junior. “Well, if that’s the way you talk, i nil of you had bctler walk,” cried the Good Gray Horse. “I'm .carrying every one, except Mr. I’ig." And then, all of a sudden they came in sight of a building. On the sign over the door was written: “Cuddle Inn.” And on another sign just below, “HONEST JOHN BOLDER!), PROPRIETOR.” “I'm hungry,” said the Pig Without a Wig. “So say we all of us,” cried Tom Thumb. And then Good Gray Horse stopped nnd a stable boy ran out and took him by the bridle. “Give him a good supper of oats and a warm bed,’ commanded Puss Junior, tossing a cotn to the lad. “Yes, Sir Cat,” replied the boy, bowing and leading off the faithful steed. “And now,” continued Puss, “let us sec what the inn has for tis, and he swung open the door, and entered, followed by Tom Thumb with the Robin perched on his shoulder, and the Pig Without a Wig. “Welcome, friends,” cried the host, who was none other than honest John Boldero. “We are hungry, and would eat,” cried Puss .Junior. “And that you shall at once.” replied thee Innkeeper, and then forth he led our little friends to the dining room. “And now we would sleep,” cried Puss, after the meal was over. So the Innkeeper handed each of them a candle and directed them to their rooms, saying at the same time: “To make your candles last forever, You wives and maids give ear-o!

DEVILS UNLEASHED By EDWIN G. WOOD A Story of Tropical Seas That Will Hold You From Beginning to End

PJRKCUDING CHAPTERS. When the crew of the schooner Raid Kagle, their brains tired by an oversupply of rum, mutinied in South Pacific. waters, slew the captain and first mate raid heaved their bodies into the sea, the only two sober and respectable persons left on board were Kiriinrd Hunter, a man about thirty, a passenger bound for Australia and a girl mimed Faith, also on her way to Australia to visit her mother. The schooner's crew proved to bo about as tough a bunch of cutthroats as ever manned a pirate cruft. Their leader, now tlint Captain White had been thrown overboard, was named Jansen, a huge fellow, who could be monstrously brutal or cunningly mild—to ser\e Ids evil purposes. Jansen resented Hunter’s interference with his authority, and after Hunter had shot and killed a sailor who had attacked him with a knife, he and the girl were forc'*u to take refuge in a double cabin, behind locked doors. Doth were arnu i with revolvers. Captain White had a large sum of money on board and had trusted Hunter with its place of concealment, and it was tills loot tliat Jansen and his ruffian* were after. Hunter persistently refused to reveal the hiding place of the gold, for lie had promised the captain to deliver the money to the rightful owners should any thing happen to the captain during the voyage. After some hours of wild revelry below decks, Hunter, still standing watch while the girl slept, heard unsteady footsteps approaching the cabin. The steps w ere those of Jansen, who tries to Induce Hunter to come out for a pretended peaceful parley o\or a <M\!slon of the treasure on hoard, hut Hunter refuses to present himself, fearing treachery. Eater, while the other sailors lie In a drunken stupor, Hunter and Faith succeed In capturing ami binding Jansen, locking him In the mate’s cabin. The two then launch a boat with some provisions, take the ship’s gold and row to the adjacent Island. The story proceed* from this point and nears the end. Chagter lll—Con. He showed her bow to broil the salt meat by holding it in the blaze on the end bf a sharp stick, and when she was well under way with her work, he left her and went down to the beach. Faith soon became absorbed in her novel cooking and forgot her lonely surroundings. This was anew experirnre ’o her. She had nevpr spent a night In the woods in her life, and the nearest she bad ever eomo to camping out was at a picnic or two in some park, with a gay crowd. She was really enjoying herself, if only those miserable woods didn’t look so mysterious and dark far ther in. But this feeling of awe began to wear away as r,Ue worked, holding the siloed meat in the blaze, one piece at a time, catching the dripping grease on bread, to take the place of gravy or butter. And the coffee was boiling and its odor mingling with that of the sizzling meat reminded her that she Still had ar appetite. When Hunter returned he foil id h°r absorbed In her duties her halt rumpled face flushed eyes sparkling. Me paused and looked at her before she saw him. She made a pretty picture. sci off by ’he rucgqd background M’s eyes grew a little tender, then suddenly hardened. With an Impatient shrug hr strode into ramp. Chapter IV. An embarrassed silence was between them for the greater part of their s.mrie meal, although both ate heartily. Faith was a little shy. lie seemed to he qu.et through pondering over their present predicament mingled with absent mtr.dedriess “wool gathering" She stole glances at him unobserved. For the first time she hail opportunity to study him. Before their troubes began she had seen very little of him and during their siege on the vessel, her thoughts were too much occupied to turn on the persona! side of her companion. Phe not Ice, l a sort of hopeless expression in ills dark eye eyes that could have sparkled with enthusiasm If aroused. There were lines running across hibroad and smooth forehead, not made by ace; there were also spraying of fine lines about tile corners of his eyes. But ns an offset, the earrlnge of his shoulders, the east of ills features, the expression about the mouth. Indicated a firm will, a "do or die" spirit. Her thoughts led to the way cf his dealing w-lth Jansen and she spoke timidly. “Mr. Hunter. I—-I think X owe you an apologv for making things harder for you When we were leaving the vessel I suppose T didn't understand. It all seemed eu strange to nte. \\ 111 yon please forgive me and let thank you ‘ lie frowned. “Please forget It. 1 would hnve done the same for any one tinder like rlrcTi instances —you have nothing to t'. nk me for.” Thp rural was finished In silence, and after Frith had removed the remnants nnd the few simple dishes she sat down on the tarpaulin at. a dignified distnnefrom where Dick had stretched himself with his pipe going. She watehed Die curling smoke ns he puffed away, which was suggestive of comfort nnd homey companionship. The cave occasional nervous glances at the gloom v, forbidding background. The silence became unbearable. Somebody had to speak, so she did. “Did you see anything of the schooner —any signs of anything going on?” no shook his head. “No.” “Why do you suppose they selected this place to anchor?" lie answered thoughtfully: “T am not eertain of anything, but 1 think I hnve it figured out correctly. It was Jansen's plan to get hold es the money by promising us our liberty. Whether he would have kept that promise. T don't know. I hnvo my doubts. And to make a pretense tliat he would keep it. he had to have something to show, some place to put us ashore. He may have intended to keep his promise and to set us ashore here, where ho thought we'd have to stay’long enough to let. them get away. This plan was not agreeable to the men they wero apparently willing to let me go. but not you. 1 can't help believing, though, even if they'd set ns ashore here after getting the stuff, they'd have made away with us. nnywny.” “But I can't understand,” Faith ponrtor°d with puckered brows, “why he Rhnuhl turn them loose on that whisky, let them drink that way.” “That's simple. The men were in a blind rage anil wanted to kill me. .Tansen knew, or believed, that (lie only way to secure the loot was through me. nnd if he did not do everything to keep me alive, he would never get his hands on what ho wanted; so to keep them amused he turned them loose on tho grog—it was a dangerous experiment, though. And T have not the least doubt," he added, “that Jansen was fixing to double-cross them; hence the booze and the locked forecastle.” “I can't see, though,” mused Faith, "what they expected to do after getting the money. They would be sure to be caught sometime and they couldn't turn pirates in this age.” “Oh, I suppose they would have done away with the schooner, scuttling her or something of the kind, near some

port, and then gone in with a yarn of being shipwrecked and so on.” This all seemed plausible enough to Faith and she devoted a few minutes to mentally weighing their own chances for escape. Then she resumed her quizzing. “Have you any idea where we are, what this island is. If it is an Island?” “I think we are somewhere in the neighborhood of the Solomon Islands, or some other of the Pacific Islands. This piece of land looks to me to be of volcanic origin. Did you notice how the mountainous section comes down almost sheer to the sea? If we had not been lucky enough to find that little inlet, we should have been dashed to pieces on the recks. YVe are in a little valley here, and we're lucky so far. Let's hide our stuff as best we can and bury this gold somewhere. If either of us gets away this money must be gotten to the captain's family—that was my promise to him.” “If I were able,” the girl commented, “I'd give them the stuff to go away and let us alone and pay Mrs. White myself.” Hunter said nothing, but the straight lino of his mouth told the girl that there would be no giving up the money by him. After they had put things away Hunter suggested they might get a view of the vessel by walking down to within sight of the ocean. They followed the coast lino for two o; three hundred yards to the foot of the mountain. Here they ascended to where they could see the vessel. She lay tossing at her anchor. tier decks, so far as they could determine, deserted. “She is farther out than l first thought,” observed Hunter. "The water is shoal to a considerable distance, it seems, and I guess it is treacherous. No wonder they were careful It's a miracle we didn't come to grief with that drunken set running things.' Faith could not heio thinking of the man lying In the cabin as she gazed at the schooner, and her face clouded. He guessed her thoughts. “Still thinking of the Hun tactics 1 used on that snake?" His question remained unanswered, for Just than they saw a figure stagger along the deck, going from the forecastle aft,

Tho man went to the cabin and disappeared within it. “It seems to me," commented Faith, “that Mr. Jansen will have his hands full explaining some things.” “Don't worry," Hunter shrugged. “Hell lie out of It. Os course, I surprised him when his bnck was turned, then locked the men up while they were drunk. Trust him to fix it up. Look! Now. they're going to have something cooked for breakfast.

This is no place to meet it, though. We must get down to the mouth of our little inlet. Come.” They went back to their camp, where Hunter took an extra supply of ammunition for both his rifle and the pistols. Then they retraced their steps of the morning, passing the yawl and following the shore line around to the mouth of the inlet. Here they disposed of themselves comfortably behind trees and lay watching. “Do you think they'll risk an attack in daylight?” asked Faith. “Not i they have the least sensij. But there's no telling what they'll do when they get full. This will be fko most likely sp< t for them to attempt a landing. Jansen will spy it out. Yes; there he Is now with his glasses.” They saw him approach the rail red i sweep the shore line with a binocular. He scanned the shore for little time, moving the glass right and left, finally turning and disappearing below into the cabin. Hunter and Faith lay quiet, watching the schooner. Tho girl saw the white, foaming water as it broke not far from her and listened in a detached mannei to Its booming. Her thoughts were lar away then; of the country she had started to visit; of her brother aud family. Hunter was musing, too, on his interrupted plans, and on the shabby trick fate had played him when he was trying to dodge the memory of one woman, by throwing another one right into his arms for protection. Time passed and nothing happened. The clear and deep tones of a bell came floating through the air—eight strokes "Twelve o'clock,” muttered Hunter. "Jansen seems to be keepin" some sort of discipline and ship's routine, at any rate.” “I think.” Faith suggested, “that it might be well for me to prepare a little lunch. We must keep the tires going, you know, if we're to live.” “Right. % I'd forgotten that tve have to

Be careful while you're gone, and always keep your gun handy.” Faith rose and started away. She had gone but a few feet when she uttered a cry of dismay. She had engaged an ugly hole in her skirt. Hunter frowned. "Those things are not fit to wear in such a place as this. If we should have to make a run for it through the woods, what would becomle of you?" “What am I to do?” she wailed. “I have but one other dress with me, and 1f we ever get away I don't want to go like a ragamuffin.” ‘•You'll soon be in tatters if we have

to move about much, that's certain. Did you bring anything like needles and thread with you?” “Os course,” scornfully. "Do you think any woman would go camping for the Lord knows how long and nothing to tew with?" “All right then. I have an extra pair of hunting breeches in my bag. They'll swallow you, of course, but you might be able to alter them. Better do it; you can't be hampered with those skirts.” Faith laughed nervously, nodded and moved on toward the camp. Hunter following her with his eyes, which in spite of himself would grow soft when they rested on her slim, girlish figure. She returned in a little while with a tin of hot coffee and some sandwiches. She had sewed up the rent in her skirt. "We’ll have our dinner tonight,” she said, sitting down near him, “consisting of boiled beans, bread and coffee.” “Lucky to get that." he commented. “After we see what our friends are going to do we'll explore a little.” Lunch finished. Hunter got out his pipe. Faith lay flat on her stomach, elbows on the ground, chin resting In hands, gazing at the vessel, her lips halfparted. ller fresh young face was serious, blit contained no trace of undue worry or anxiety. She suddenly seemed to have a curiously detached interest in what was going on around her. Os the two, Dick was the more serious in look, and his features were drawn Into stern lines. Men were to be seen moving about the deck of the schooner. Now and then they collected in a group and seemed to be engaged in angry dispute. "I think,” remarked Hunter, "that they are getting ready to lower a boat. If they do, we may expect some action now pretty soon.” “Do you suppose they have firearms?” The captain and first mate had revolvers, nnd, of course, Jansen or some of the men got them. Then you know Jansen himself had a pistol before. But don't worry-—this rifle is long-range and highpower.” They again fell silent, watching Suddenly Faith started up. “Look!" she cried. “What is that?” A thin stream of what at first looked like mist was rising from forward, but it soon grew thicker and proved to be smoke. Men were running wildly about the deek. two or three making a dash toward the forehatch. “That’s nice!” grumbled Hunter. “Some drunken fool has set fire to something in the hold. Probably upset a lantern or dropped a match while after liquor.” Tho smoke was fast growing in volume and density, now and then shot with red streaks. The men were frantically at work at something. Hunter, watching Intently, cried out: “They're going to abandon her!” Such proved to be the case, for they saw the men tumble into a boat and row hurriedly to some little distance, where they lay on their oars, either to watch or through uncertainty as to what to do next.

[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 hat 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.] FRIDAY, JAN. 6. When the Wean's Club assembled for Its meeting, Mrs. Hooper was overwhelmed with expressions of sorrow that she was leaving Mayfield. It was very difficult to persuade the women to concentrate on the program for the day, so anxious was every one to say something about the difficulty they anticipated in getting along without her. “I shall be here for three more meetings,” announced Mrs. Hooper, “and we already have a very definite outline of the budget that I have used successfully In my own household, and there will be nothing further To do but to discuss it weekly with the idea that there will always be suggestions to help meet the difficulties that are sure to arise.” “But you had so many other ideas that we expected to carry out this year,” protested Mrs Owen. "It Just seems like having the bottom drop out of everything with your going.” “It needn't be that way at all,” protested Mrs. Hooper. “All that was really necessary was for the women of Mayfield to feel that they had a responsibility t# the community that could only be met by their first making their individual homes a stable economic unit working on scientific principles and along business lines. If each one of the members of the Women's Club has resolved to do this and will carry out her resolution the most Important thing as far as Mayfield is concerned has been accomplished." • “Well it seems to me there Is a great deal still to be done,” said a second woman dubiously, "even after we succeed in making these budgets accomplish their purpose." “I shall be very glad to keep with you," said Mr?. Hooper, • aiHfcnd ba'k to you any r.e.v ideas I :.••• ; ,;"y anew prc.ble^Hß work out when I go to the city. experience experimenting vriib a bud^H under the now conditions will be exactly the same a3 those all of you going through now trying to adjust f<B the first time to an Income that haH been sclentlfieally scaled to meet th needs of your family.” “But you've been doing it for so many years,” said Mrs. Chapin, “that merely changing to fit new conditions won't he nearly as hard as what we are trying to do in our long mismanaged housM holds.” “I expect to have the same appalling problem that we were discussing only last week," Interrupted Mrs. Hooper, “of finding a piac to live in the city for which I can pay out of my ihelter allowance." “How do you expect to do it?” inquired one sympathetic club woman. “I really don't know yet,” smiled Mrs. Hooper. “We are to re our house here for S3O a month, added to the $24 which my budget allows, makes $74 —but as the taxes and upkeep on the Mayfield house will be the same as it always has been, I really will have only about S6O that I can allow for a house in the city that will give me room for a family of five.” “Well, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd have some hunt to find it,” exclaimed several of the women in chorus. The menu for the three meals on Saturday are: BREAKFAST, Stewed Prunes. Cereal. Crisped Tork and Cream Gravy. Toast. Coffee. LUNCHEON. Mutton Broth with Barley, Stuffed Eegs. Bread and Butter.

Return to the fire and stir in a half cupful of grated chocolate, remove from the fire, aid i teasponful of vanilla, and pour the mixture into a pie-plate lined with puff paste. A GOOD PUFF PASTE. Into a half pound of flour chop six ounces of firm, cold butter, and, when like a coarse powder, wet with a small cupful of iced water. Stir to a paste and turn upon a chilled board. Roll out quickly and lightly, handling as little as possible. Fold, and roil out three times, then set on the ice for several hours before making into pies. Always bake pastry in a very hot oven. Helpful Household Hints CHEESE KEPT FRESH. When trying to keep cheese fresh, wring a cloth out of vinegar and wrap it around the cheese. The cheese will not taste of the vinegar and it will keep fresh and sweet. MEAT TIP. Never put meat directly on the ice, bat always on a plate. Direct contact with the Ice will destroy the flavor.
