PURDUE SUGGESTS STUDY TOPICS ON

IE University Issues Outlines for Women Who Care to Band Together to Study Efficiency. Purdue has just recently put out a bulletin dealing with the progress of the study of Home Economics in the state and especially In rural districts. It Is interesting to know that the number of these organizations Is increasing rapidly; the force that they represent Is making itself felt. The extension department of Purdue university stands read to help at any and all times wherever a few determined women show they are interested In the study. Not the least of the ways in which Purdue can help is the sending upon request of study outlines with the necessary references. The outlines are so well described in the bulletin that an extract from it follows: "The work taken up by these classes as indicated by the name, deals with the various phases of Home Economics. For the use of the clubs consecutive outlines have been arranged by the extension department. These oui- " lines, together with suggestions as to where reference material may be obtained on the various subjects treated are sent free of charge. The outlines consist of ten lessons each. As soon as one outline is finished another is sent on request. The subject matter in the first three outlines is varied, bringing in the different phases of Home Economics work farther than concentrating on any one particular line. Arranged to Interest. "It is believed in this way tflat more people will find the programs interesting and that the viewpoint of the indlAic'.ual members will be broadened. The fourth, fifth and sixth concentrate on special lines of work. The outlines are intended to be suggestive rather than dogmatic as to program. In most cases the outlines are too long to be used in their entirety; this allows a selection of material to be made. In some cases it is advisable to extend the study of a topic, if of especial interest to the class. In all oases it is deemed advisable to get as many members as possible actively interested in the program. "For this reason the topics should be sub-divided so that in place of one long paper or talk, several short ones are given. Though it may be difficult fvt first to induce the more diffident members to take part in the program in the majority r f cases there has been found to be lit Me difficulty in having eneh bear bin sh:jro of the burden of making (be prep-ram a success. "Especially it is urged that, discussions lie freely entered into. The greatest good from a meeting is frequently obtained from the discussion. Nor should liv roeial part of the program be overlooked. Simple refreshments add muc h to the enjoyment of the afternoon. Hut where refreshments are so elaborate as to be a burd"n to the hostess or to necessitate her to absent herself from the meeting in order t: prepare them, they have rppped to j : ri'orm their purpose rnd should either be .abolished or limited. "Demonstrations may play an important, part of the meeting. A much better idea of the method of doing a thing is obtained from seeing it, done than simply by reading or hearing of it. It is not often difficult to get people who can do a thing well to give a demonstration of their specialty and everyone is benefitted."

THEIR MARRIED LIFE By Mabel Herbert Urner

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. The center aisle bargain counter was strewn with a tumbled mass of beaded ornaments,, buckles, tassels and remnants of braid and fringe. Over this alluring mass was the the placard : Sample Lot of Dress Garnitures One-third Former Price. Mrs. Stevens paused, glanced appraisingly over the counter, and picked up a card of dangling jet pendants marked from "75c" to "15c." "Those are awfully cheap," musingly, "if one could only use them." "But you never wear black," disapproved Helen, knowing Mrs. Stevens's weakness for useless bargains. "That's so," reluctlantly. "Oh, look!" holding up a remnant of crystal bead fringe. "Isn't that the very same that is on your blue gown?" It was the same Helen saw that at a glance. It was a short end, pinned on the board that held the original bolt, marked "$2.85 a yard," but the remnant was ticketed " yard 45c." Helen considered. She had been wanting to make over that gown to get more chiffon for a draped overskirt and with this extra piece she would have enough of the fringe to edge it. "Well, I want two of these, anyway." Mrs. Stevens had ferreted out a card of rhinestone buckles. "And here is some crystal ornaments to match your fringe you are foolish if you do not take them."

There were three of them on the card, reduced from $1.15 to 29c each. Helen had never cared for dangling passementrie, but as these ornaments matched the fringe the possibility of using them was very tempting. "Do you know, I think they are manufacturers' samples?" said a woman, hovering over the counter on the opposite side. "Well, they are cheap enough, whatever they are," agreed the woman with her. "If you see another tassel like this, I want it." Mrs. Stevens nudged Helen with a whispered "That is just what they are manufacturers' samples. That is why they are so cheap." There is nothing that so appeals to the feminine bargain instinct as 'manufacturers' samples." The very phrase implies cheapness because they are only a few of a kind. ' AN ORGY. Before they left the counter, Mrs. Stevens spent $4.75, and Helen, under her insistent urging, $3.99, for a variety of buckles, bead ornaments and remnants of fringe. It was a real orgy of bargains. Helen had always prided herself on never buying a thing merely because it was oheap. She had never spent her money or cluttered up her home with a lot of useless "bargains." Yet excepting the fringe, she had no definite use for any of these things, and she had hardly received her change before she regretted her purchases.

FRUITS BEST F

FOR HOTWEATHER Flavor and Nourishing Varieties Give Needed Substances to Body. Summer time is fruit time. We turn from the heavy diet that was so pleasing during cool weather and wonder why they are so "different." Fruit and plenty of it is what tastes good now and is what we should have. Mother nature in the first place was-not thinking of her human children when 6he conceived the idea of fruits. Their primary object was that of aiding in reproduction. Fruits are the halts that attract insects, beasts and man that the seeds may be scattered broadcast. In the same way the maples have winged fruit, the flowers honey, burrs the hooks that catch on every passing thing, and night flowers their heavy scent and light color. There are two classes of fruit: Flavor fruits and food fruits. Flavor fruits contain 1 more than eighty per cent water and some sugar. The apple, orange and lemon are of this class. Their principle use is to add variety and bulk to the diet. Food fruits contain more than twenty per cent solids, the banana for example. Food nutrients in fruits are starch, sugar, and mineral matter, mainly potash combined with citric acid. Present also are etheral bodies, giving flavor and odor, acids, and pectin bodies, giving fruit .its jelly-forming property. Unripe fruit is liable to cause digestive disturbances because of the presence of acids in too large quantity and cellulose or woody material too hard and tough to be taken care of properly. Most fruits are delicious enough without the aid of cooking but it has some advantages, and many people that cannot eat fresh fruit can freely partake of cooked fruit. Cooking kills harmful bacteria and fungus that may be present and softens cellulose thus making the mechanical process of digestion easier. The average person, however, can eat as much ripe fruit as he desires and will find it an excellent diet. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." "Now, let's see." Mrs. Stevens glanced at her shopping list. "Oh, yes, let's go to the corsets. I want to get one of those laced-front hip conflners. Here, we can take this elevator." But even the allurements of the corset department failed to take Helen's mind from her- reckless purchases. She could hardly wait to examine them, to try the effect of the beaded ornaments on her blue gown. When she finally reached home, without waiting to take off her things, she tore open the packages. Oh, why HAD she bought them? Excepting the fringe and those three beaded' ornaments, there was not a thing there that she could ever use! When he got out the gown, she saw with sick dismay that the beads in the fringe were a cream white, while those in the remnant she had bought were a blue white. The two other ornaments, that Mrs. Stevens had insisted she could use on "something," were even more garish, as the beads were iridescent and the rhinestone buckles were cheaply made. Even as she handled them one of the stones came out. Helen sat on the bed looking wretchedly at the glittering fripperies. They suggested all the glaring tawdiness in dress that she so hated. And she could not return or exchange them, for the placard over the counter had said, "These sales goods are not returnable." Never again would she go shopping with Mrs. Stevens! She could afford to indulge her bargain hunting instincts, but Helen could not. Now that she had to send half of her monthly allowance to her mother it seemed almost criminal for her to buy such things. She bit her lip as she looked at the baubles, whose very, glitter was offensive. What could she do with them? Every time she saw them they would be a hateful reminder of money thrown away. "Is this worth ironing, ma'am?" Mrs. O'Grady appeared at the door, BBSS

holding up one of Helen's night gowns with the lace yoke almost in pieces. It was past mending. "No, I guess not. You can give it to Nora for dusters." Then as Mrs. O'Grady started out, "Is Edna better today?" . "Oil, yes'm. I am hoping she kin go to school tomorrow." It was because Edna was sick that her mother had done only half a day's washing yesterday, so she was finishing up this afternoon. Helen looked after Mrs. O'Grady with a sudden inspiration. Wouldn't she loe. these bead ornaments for the white silk ."graduation dress" she was making for Edna? They would net he appropriate, of course, but Mrs. O'Grady had a marked fondness for over-trimmed, guady clothes. Taking two of the ornaments and a rhinestone buckle, the one with the stone out, Helen impulsively ran out to the kitchen. "Oh, Mrs. O'Grady, I thought you might use these on Edna's graduating dress. And there is a buckle it will be pretty on a hat for you." At least she had got rid of some of them, and profitably, too, reflected Helen, for next week she would put in that pair of blankets. Mrs. O'Grady was always amiable, after something had been given her, and she would wash the blankets now without grumbling. It was later in the afternoon that Helen chanced to be in the pantry and overheard from the kitchen her own name in Mrs. O'Grady's shrill voice. SHE OVERHEARD. "O,-1 will have to take them home; she will be mad if I don't. But the idea of her thinkin' I'd put them things on Edna's dress. I washes for my livin but I know what's what.

That INSOLENT woman! That she should dare speak of her like that! Never NEVER would sTie give her another thing. She had spoiled her she had been too good to her. She thought angrily of the blankets she had not put in this week for fear of making the wash too heavy. She would put them In next week and the bed-room cur tains, too. And if she grumbled well, there were plenty of other washerwomen. The thought of Mrs. O'Grady and Nora "talking her over" in the kitchen made her wild. She almost wished she had stayed to hear what Nora had said; then her cheeks flushed deeper as she thought how contemptible was eavesdropping on one's servants. For the rest of the afternoon Helen was in a very unhappy mood. Besides having the unpleasant reflection of having thrown away $3.39 on some tawdry ornaments she was incensed with the rankling memory of Mrs.

He had had a good day and was quite talkative at dinner, so Helen's depression was not noticed. "What's that cat got?" he demanded suddenly. Pussy Purr-Mew was playing rompishly with something in front of the sideboard. Now she was rolling over with it between her paws. It was something that glittered. Helen, who was serving the salad, watched her listlessly. But Warren pushed back his chair and started tip with an energy that made Pussy Parr-' Mew drop her trophy and dart gullUly away.
