talking about the disastrous struggle

INailty that we cannot avoid considering
how It mar affect various phases of
American life. Wo have already heard
Jftiumerous discussions of Its (fleet on our
Industries and trade, but little has been
. enld ot Its effect on our own homemakers.
We know, however, that the great mass
f our servants Is drawn from the
(countries Involved In the war or In coun-
surroundlng the war stone. No one
Jelnss of houseworkcrs has been so re
ntable and thorough as the German, and
iirom Austria, Rumania and Servia wt
iiiave drawn another type of" stalwart sr
frahfcs. These women, with their strength
derived from long pesjant parentage, have
come Into our homes and been our hew
:ra of wood and drawers of water. The
econd generation of these workers and
teJso of those from Ireland and the Scan
Idlnavlnn countries have scorned house-
work and gone Into the ahop or factory
even at a lower wage. So that It has
Keen on the constant new supply at Imml-
lerants that we have been forced to draw
largely for our housoworkers.
What effect may tho war havo upon

ean assume that no matter how short
Pthe straggle, women In thoso countries
i will be needed at home, and that their
"respective nations con III spare them from
Eflelds, factories and workshops, where
"a very hand will be needed to reconstruct

shores .win be allowed or able to come.
addition, many women now here will
(certainly return to help with farm nnd
other work In the old country, where
family ties are keen and where they are
Impelled to go by their patriotism. This
ywlll mean a still less number of servants

American homemaker's solution?
Milady's Toilet Table
Pimples ara a great trial to a pretty
SBirl. nnd a worse one to her lesa fortu-
atster. However, pimples, like the
Epoor, are always with us, and havo a
habit of coming out at the most lnop-
i. portune times, usually Just before an oc
casion at which you want to look your
'. very best
A good many doctors when asked for n
4otton for pimples, will tell you to keep
. the skin absolutely clean and to keep the
Sliands off them. The pimples themselves
rare tho result of a disordered system,
jond will Beldom become very offensive
looking If they are not handled and Irri
itated by the finger nails. Dangerous In
flections ot all kinds can be spread by the
r Anger nnlls. The painful sore they cause
is the least of the evils.
A drying lotion Is good for pimples, too.
Try the following:
Camphor 10 grains
Acacia Cpulverised) 2 grains
.!-Bulphur precipitate 2 drachms
slJme water 2 ounces
nose water 2 ounces
This will greatly lessen tho trouble If It
ila applied with a soft cloth. Allow It to
t dry on the fact and brush off th excess

jirlll show a vast Improvement

EVENING
WAR ON
THE SERVANT QUESTION
I believe that In the future efficiency
and all it means will not be considered
a fad by the homemaker. Whon she
sees herself facing n still higher cos'
of existence, still higher cost o( service,
the only course open to her Is better
management and more Individual han
dllng of her home problem. She will be
forced to consider more step-saving
plans of house construction so that
work can be done with fewer servants,
or none. She will be forced to learn
how to handle equipment, to develop
her mechanlcat sense and get full bene
fit from mechanlcat labor-savers. She
will be foroed to learn nutritive value
of foods, how to market on a basis of
nutritive value, not cost Sho will be
foroed to follow a standard of living
which shall be simple In point of fur
nishings, clothes, table service and
amusement She will bo forced to totally
change her perspective as to the degrad
ing Influence of housework and to put
her home on a business basts. Tet withal,
she will see stnl more clearly tho beauty
and worth of homomaklng, and will not
give up her home to selfishly avoid Us
problems In the apparent ease of hotel
or communistic life.
For the homemaker In tho next dec
ade it will bo a case of the "survival
of tho efficient" The indolent tradi
tional, haphazard homemaker Is going to
be burled like a pterodactyl In the slough
of her own Inefficiency. No sentimental
tears need bo wept over her, because she
has only herself to blame If she cannot
adjust herself to new conditions. Not
only must she consider the problems of
lack of service high living cost eta, as
her own problems, but as probloma which
will still more squarely face her daugh
ters and grandchildren. She must there
fore begin now to train her girls In all
branches of homomaklng, show them Its
equality to any other profession and pre
pare them to succeed In It

FRENCH JEWELRY IN COIFFEURS
MODES OF
The Introduction of Frenoh Jewelry oc
curred many years ago and paste and
semt-preclous stones and Imitation pearls
have Increased In popularity as they have
Increased In the beauty of their work

The present styles In coiffure furnish
every excuse for beautiful combs and
ornaments, and the makers of such things
have been lavish nsto the kind and the
quality they havo supplied.
Ono of tha favortto combinations of the
season Is Jet and brilliants, or rhtnestones
or paste they shine by whatever name
they are called.
A number of these now ornaments are
sketched today to show some of tho very
attractive shapes and settings that the
shops are exhibiting.
A bow for tho hair in cut Jet and bril
liants has a very graceful shape and
the square and oblong atones are alter
nated In the knot and the loops and the
ends vory effectively.
Anothor pin for the hair has a rather
peculiar head. It Is oval and the stones
ore rounded and set obliquely somewhat
above the flat surface.
Tho crescent pin, ono of the favorite
ornaments to be worn with the Frenoh
twist Is a solid mass of Jet and pasto
in n charming design and one especially
becoming to dark hair.
Another combination of black and
house plants. The dinner Itself Is so
costly this year that a good many people
hesitate to spend money on flowers. If
you want to arrange your table without
them, or with very few, substitute "color
effects."
This can be done successfully and with
very little trouble. Serve a fruit cup first
This can be placed In the tall compotes
used for this purpose. Use segments of
orange, grapefruit malaga grapes, pine
apple, with or without nuts. When this
has been laid m the dish, place two large
green leaves mint preferably on top,
and top off with a bright red maraschino
cherry.
The turkey can be surrounded with
greens and carrots cut Into fancy shapes.
them. I see that a small medicine chest
Is in every room. It saves a great deal
of unnecessary excitement over sudden
headaahes, eta. I have the very best
cook I can get and perhaps that Is the
secret of my successful entertainments."
Toung hostesses might get some hints
from this matron's advice. A word from
a successful hostess Is often mora prac
tical than reams of books. Besides,
Thanksgiving ts the time when every
body ought to be happy.
The Thanksgiving Turkey
The turkey, being the most Important
part of tha dinner, should ba selected with
great care, one of from eight to 11 pounds
being considered best and if Jt Is to be
roasted It "must be a young bird. The
age can be Judged by feeling th lower
part of tha breastbone. If this Is found

white, whero combs are concerned, la a
comb made of polished black bone and en
crusted In brilliants in soma highly artis
tic design.
Frosted crystal inlaid with rhtnestones
makes a comb of dazzling whiteness and
ono very beautiful for evening wear.
Tho neckband of black velvet, tied In
the back or fastened with a clasp, has all
sorts of possibilities In the way of pen
dants and side ornamentations.
The one Illustrated, like all the orna
ments skotched, Is set with Jet and paste.
The earrings are set so that the black
nnd white stones alternate, and thoy
swing free from the ear In, the way of
earrings of tho long ago.
The chain pictured is one of the very
slender ones of stiver that are hardly
noticeable and that seem to retire Into
the background and make the setting so
much the more conspicuous.
The ornament dangling from the chain
la not a pendnnt, but a watch of very
small and extremely ornamental variety,
now more than ever In vogue.
Nowadays watches hang from chains or
else aro worn on tho wrist The leather
strap bracelot watch Is really serviceable;
the fact that it is worn so often by men,
mining engineers and army officers, not
dandles, but hard worklngmon, proves
that to be beyond dispute.
But the days when women carried the
plain gold or sliver watch have passed
and the present day Is tho day ot the
Jeweled trinket.
You cun buy the Instrument which outs
theso shapes for very little. Place a sprig
of parsley on your mashed whlta potatoes,
and candy your sweet ones In melted
sugar,
Tha salad course offers unlimited possi
bilities, Tomatoes laid on lettucs and
stuffed are very artlstlo in coloring. Orson
peppers, beets, cucumbers and tomatoes,
out into segments, and laid In tha hollow
of a lettuce leaf, ara pretty, too.
Tour dessert deooratlon, of course, de
pends upon the dish. Montrose or Nes
selrode pudding is very picturesque. Fruits
ot all kinds, nuts, raisins and differently
colored peppermint wafers furnish all tha
tints you could doslre. After such a
pretty affair, nobody would miss the
flowers.
pliable and rather soft, the bird Is young,
but if stiff tha bird is too old for roast
ing. The drawing, cleaning and singeing
of a turkey Is dona tha same as a chicken,
but it is best to arrange with your
butcher for the drawing of tha sinews
from the legs. This Is hard to do at
home, and If not done the drumsticks
will be very tough. After the turkey Is
cleansed and singed It should ba wiped
dry Instde and trussed tha same as a
chicken. The neck should ba cut off,
leaving a place ot akin long enough to
fold under. Rub with salt outside and
In and If lacking fat add butter to tha
water In tha baking pan to use In bast
ing. People differ tn their opinions as
to whether the turkey should oe stuffed
or the stuffing cooked In tha pan around
it and this can ha left to choice. Some
thin strips ot breakfast bacon tied over
tha breast will keep It from drying be
fore done and also gtva it a good flavor.
When almost dona remove bacon and let
the breast get golden brown. It one does
not care for bacon s, piece of heavy paper
may be buttered and laid across breast
removing when turkey la basted.
Lemon Pudding
Mix together a quarter of a pound of
flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder

HINTS AND
Is Pity Akin to Love?
xIn most oases It I perilously near It;
so near, in fact that If a girl finds her
self Indulging In It toward ft man whom
she knows It would not be wise to care
for, she would do welt to put a check
upon the sentiment.
Thera Is a tenderness In the nature of
a girt or woman that has only to be ap
pealed to for It to spring Into action. If
even an enemy can call forth this divine
pity, how muoh more will it be evoked
by one who Is no foe, perhaps even a
friend.
To feel pfty there must be a sort of
hriielptesances in the one pitied which ren
ders him for the time being weak anil
dependent, and It is then that Cupid finds
his opportunity.
The girl has taken off her armor of
maidenly aloofness and so she Is an oaSj
victim for tho shafts of the little archer
He has found the weak spot In her de
fenses, and he rejoices.
Right Into the heart left unguarded and
open, love enters, and, In tho guise of
misfortune. Is allowed to pass. And he
takes care that he does not lcavo It
again until Its fortress has surrendered.
Making Use of Sorrow
Have you over thought of It, that all
the experiences of life are yours to use
and do what you like with? The sorrow
that makes one person selfish and self
centred and hard, makes another loving,
generous and sympathetic Everything
that comes our way is rough material,
which must be- used to form character.
Joy comes, and tho true man or wom
an welcomes Joy! he rejoices, and uses It,
and In using It grows stronger and
better.
Wealth comes, and he welcomes
wealth, and uses It as a trust, and In
using It wins true riches.
Horrow comes, and he welcomes sorrow.
and In using It his sympathies aro wid
ened, and his character
is mnde mora
beautiful.
Pain oomes: he welcomes pain.
and
uses It to gain wider sympathy.
And so ho goes on, taking life as It
comes; not running to meet Joy and fly
ing from sorrow, but facing each, calmly
and earnestly, and using each as a
stepping stone to higher things.
That is life. Don't bo at the mercy of
every wind that blows, and let It do
what It likes with you, but take it, uso
it, whatever It Is, and appropriate it to
yoursolf and nil Its strength nnd good
ness will becomo a part and parcel of
yourself, that no man or devil shall ever
be able to take from you.
Brown Betty
Mix half a cupful of sugar with tho
grated rind of a lemon nnd a pinch of
cinnamon. Melt half a cupful of butter
and stir Into It a pint of soft bread
crumbs. Prepare a pound of sliced

layer of breadcrumbs, then sliced apple.
Sprinkle well with sugar and keep on
adding breadcrumbs, npples, and sugar
till tho dish Is full. Put a good layer
of breadcrumbs on top. When the apples

water, and If they nro not tart enough,
squeeze In tho Juice of half a lemon.

BABY'S
Care of His Skin
The doctor saya that you should toko
particularly good care of baby's bath this
weather. The skin is eo tender that It
becomes chafed and excoriated with the
slightest .carelessnes. It often becomes
chapped, too, and this Is very painful for
a child and Is likely to mako him Irritable.
If the child's face Is patted dry, Instead
of being rubbed with a harsh towel, the
skin will not bo Irritated. Chapping can
be prevented by dashing cold water gen
tly on the baby's face Just before he
goes out, but take care to rub cold cream
lightly over the skin to protect it from
the wind.
Often a child's skin will become rough
and scaly from a sudden change In tem
perature. Tou can, keep your baby's ekln
soft and dainty at all times If you follow

the regular warm bath you should rub

Care of Children
Children often complain of a cankered
mouth. This Is very painful and usually
comes from extreme acidity of the stom

way. A good mouth gargle Is the best
local treatment although the cankers
themselves will not disappear until the
cause Is removed. The gargle will only
relieve tho irritation of course. Small
doses ot prepared chalk or calcined mag

help to relieve acidity of the stomach,
A good laxative la always a safa rem

half bottle of magnesium citrate will do.
If the child Is very young, reduce the
dose accordingly,

the cankers is by applying silver nitrate,

enough treatment for adults, but chll

"C S'mmS'boat from tha dear old
HtlowDattorn plate Is portrayed in the
etntm whU. abov. it flit thifrv.blrd, of
the legend.
A bough of willow to tha right and
hushv fir tree to tha left balnnoe th
simple design; a fow lines of water and
some floating lilies complete the picture.
The dark-blue boat is outlined with
eroen raffla, oouched down s. method
frequently employed in willow work to
givo a neat edge.
This small subject woa worked In an
enibroldery hoop, and mounted, when fin
ished, in the manner dcsorlbed above.
To enlarge it the complete clrol waa
Anally mounted upon n. round piece of
card covered with dark-blue linen. A
similar piece wns cut out for tha back,
also In dark bluo, and the two Joined by
s. few Hitches and a bow of ribbon, w
that the cover opens like a book.
Torchon luce, lightly embroidered with
threads ot very flno raffla, also make a
nice finish for these UBoful and uncom
mon dolly cases.
The some design would rva equally
well for a round pincushion oovor or an ft
box Ud. . ,.....
A tea cosy Is another suggestion whloh
could b carried out with very good ef
fect In willow worl.
For a wlllow-pattcrnod breakfast or ten
service this would be moat appropriate.
The materials upon which the work can

be dono lend themselves also admirably
to this purpcse, as cotton crepe or poplin
look dollghtfully fresh, and all can ba
easily cleaned when soiled.
Either of the designs Illustrated would
look pretty; so, If desired, both could be
employed, one on tho front of, tho cosy
and tho other at the back. Tha whole
affair should bo carefully lined, and then
padded with cotton wool. A flnal lining
mustVlso be added to protect the pad-
The coBy could be finished with a fine
cord, either In bluo or green. But which
ever color Is choson it should exactly
match the shade of tho raffla used In th
embroidery.
A little bar In cotton crepe, to wear
with o. blue or green striped frock of the
same material, would bo a novel applica
tion of willow work. '
Just a single tree, with the well-known
mountain behind It, aa tho background
would bo sufficient In the way of em
broidery.

The Housekeeper Says
To Prevent Cake from Burning. When
baking a cake, place a small pan ot water
on tho top part of the oven to prevent
burning.
Use for Left-Over Rica. When I have
left-over rice, I mix with It salt, butter,
sweet milk and flour, and fry-like batter
cakes. Substitute for Sweet Milk In Cakes.-
When baking cakes, If no sweet milk can!
be prooured, the same amount of waten
can be used with1 good results.
