kept in prime condition for months, so if you still have a dread of frozen meat, it is time to get over it. Fresh fowl, of course, is advisable when price and market permit. Do you know the life history of a chicken? Well, better learn now and surprise your butcher with your intimate knoweldge. Broilers in May become fryers in July. If they miss the table and roasters in November and survive until February or March, they become stewers. Broilers weigh about 2% pounds after being plucked, fryers weigh from 2% to 8% Ibs. Good broilers and fryers should be full-breasted, free of pin feathers and bruises. A roasting chicken is from 6 to 9 months old. They are in season-— that is, they should be bought fresh, not cold storaged—from September to January. They should be wellfleshed, with round plump breast. To serve six persons, use four-pound bird with stuffing. Stewers or fowls are hens over a year old. They are marketed fresh from December to June. If you like to can chicken, use stewers.
Baked Fowl
One fowl, 1 large onion, sliced, 1 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon butter, 3 tablespoons flour, 14 cups water, paprika, salt and pepper. Cut fowl into six pieces. Melt butter in pan and brown fowl on all sides. Place in greased casserole with chopped onions scattred over it. Sprinkle with flour and add water. Bake in moderate oven for about two hours, until tender. A few minutes before removing from oven, add sour cream and paprika. Serve with a bowl of steamed rice.

HE clever house frock (No, 8869) is so easy to make that vou’'ll be tempted to make two at once. It is a wrap-around dress with a youthful neckline and attractive puff sleeves. Because it opens out flat for ironing, it is a marvelous time saving device. Use chambray, gingham, percale or calico. Patterns come in sizes 14 to 20; (32 to 44 bust). Size 16 requires five yards of 35-inch material and four onethird yards of braid for trimming.

Daily, after that, minute by minute, and hour by hour, she takes them slowly over the path,
The first day she tries them out on original problems in multiply. ing, she expects Wrong answers, and gets plenty. Next day, a few more have caught on to “carrying two.” and setting down figures where they belong. The third day there are still better results. And to the end of the term she finds improvement all along the line, until at last, even the slowest have mastered the process. Mothers Are Tess Patient At home, the mother, strange to say, has less faith in her offspring, She remarks that it is easier to do things herself than to have the house upset by repeated blunders, If she does give Betty or Bob a chance to learn, their first failure to make beds smooth or fire the furnace properly often irritates her to tears. True, she has nothing to urge them on with, such as marks or place in class, but she has a privilege a teacher can not make use of, rewards for effort. And whats ever any one says about rewards, I still maintain that they have their place in every nook and core ner of the world. Who would work for purely abstract non-re= turn? Children can be influenced tos ward effort in many ways. With some youngsters, praise alone will do the job. Others. need more substantial gain. But if the means used gives that striving child the ability to do a job well, it seems to be justified completely, I am talking chiefly today of working with the hands; strange as it seems, good manipulation must be accompanied by brains and sense, That is the technical part of piano playing, of painting or writing. Why not class any type of dexterity with the arts, whether it be a frying pan or a pen? And we must teach chil dren the rudiments of artisanship, beds or furnaces, the needle or the serew-driver, if we expect them ever to know the real value of the work that others may be doing for them some day, or the satisfaction of hes ing able to turn their hands to a
