8ha doesn't think In terms of calorics or
fcrotolns, though in her endeavor to buy
tho most "nillng" food with her lnade
quato sum of money, sho Is very likely to
follow food principles, desplto her Is
iterance. Tho Now York Board of Health has
published a food budgot for a family of
nvo two adults and three children that
Is characterized to maktT tho averago
woman throw up her hands In dismay.
First of all, bocauso It totals only $7.31,
and secondly because this budget con
tains no fresh vegetables.
Dietitians nssevorato that you can't
feed your family properly unless this
question of calories is over before your
mind. Tou must find out how many
i calorics John needs in order to perform
tho work that supports tho family; how
many calories llttlo Mary has got to con-
sumo before she can properly do her
tnrlthmotlo at school. Then, when you
I discover tho needed calories, you must
' And out what food will produco them.
Many, of us consumo hundreds moro
fcalorles than wo really need and llkowlso
many of us, either becauso wo chooso
I our food foolishly or becauso wo cannot
pfford to buy the kind that will produco
fthem, do not get enough.
According to tho Now York budget. 050

On pound of butter for flvo pcoplo
for seven days does sound a bit spare,
but that Is not tho Item likely to provoke
discussion. It Is thosa dried vegetables
and tho prunes.
Tho answer Is, dried vegetables aro
cheaper than fresh ones, nnd that when
they are boiled In water they contain
Just as much nourishment.
Women who havo 18 or lcs per
Aveck to feed their considerable sized
family with ought to bo Interested in
this budget becauso It suggests tho maxi

In that caso I should bo very glad to

I hae been naked to outline a menu nnd
a few suggestions for n garden party. These

den party Is largely on the order of that

sandwiches, lemonade punch, coffeo iced
or Iced tea, frozen coffeo cream, strawberry
Ice and fancy cakes of nil descriptions nro
cry palatable Tho refreshments should
be placed on tables out of doors at a little
distance from the receiving party. A good
idea is to serve eatables from a summer
house or from the porch of tho house, as
very often the pleasure ln tho out doors
affair is marred by tho fact that there nre
too many Insects about whlph are attracted

The receiving party should stand In a

to have the hour os late as possible, that

the pleasure of the guests. The women of
the family always receive and are generally
assisted by a few intimate friends.

Bear Dehorah Rush Is It all risht for a

JOHN.
No, It would be a decided breach of eti
quette. A man should always call for a
girl when he Is going to take her out to
some affair or to go with her for a walk,
unless there aro some very unusual circum
stances. In any cafyi, It would never do for
the girl to meet him at his place of business
Straw Hats With Cutaways
Dear Deborah Rush Will you tell me If straw
hats are permissible with a cutaway, and
whether spats are worn at a morning- weiMlns
ln the middle of June? J. U,
Straw hats should not be worn with the
dress cutaway, which means black coat and
vest and gray trousers. This costume calls
for a silk hat, and Is seldom worn tn sum
mer except for weddings; but, of course, for
a suit of clothes which is made with a cut
away coat a straw hat may bo worn.
Silk stockings and low shoes seem more
appropriate for a wedding In mid-June than
spats. This Is largely a matter of personal
taste. Of course, spats always look excep
tionally well.

When Lights Are Aglow
Too much black nnd whltn elves tim .
feet of coldness In a room a thing which
Is to bo avoided at all times Decorators
who nro responsible for the black-and-white
modes havo been criticised for this lack
of warmth ln the black-and-whlto color
scheme So, In order to justify themselves,
perhaps, In the eyes of tho general public,
the Ingenuous plan of lining black-and-white
shades with color has been evolved.
Black and white look dainty and smart
in tho daytime, but when the darkness
comes, nnd the tall piano lamp or tho read
ing lamp with Its shade of black-and-whlto
silk Is lighted coldness reigns. A lining
of amber, rose, pale green or buff gives
Just the proper color tone to a phado of
this sort. In fact, the change this tiny
act of foresight brings Is unbelievable un
til it Is tried once.
Flowered and figured designs aro used
as linings, too. Imagine the charming ef
fect when the light comes on. disclosing
n dainty bouquet of delicately tinted roses
kiuuji w. imio uuua in lugnc or a wonder
fully tinted Jnpaneso motif! Could any
thing be more fascinating?
Caring for Blankets
Spring housccleanlng means many weary
ing tasks, but tho worst of them nil ls
vvnshlng blankets It takes a goodly
amount of money from tho housekeeper's
nllownnce to send theso to tho cleaner's,
especially where thoro Is a large family.
So tho woman who decides to "do" her
own blankets should lenrn the very easiest
way to manngo them.
Hero Is ono svstcm guaranteed by nn
experienced housekeeper: Put a half pint
of ammonia Into a tub nnd stretch tho
blankets over it, not allowing them to Blip
down In the fluid. This should then bo
covered with lukewarm water. This proc
ess nllous the fumes of tho ammonia to
rise through the blanket nnd loosens the
dirt. Good, vigorous squeezing will do the
rest. Rinse In n tub of clear warm water
nnd run lightly through tho wringer.
Hero Is nnother nnd more complicated
method, designed for uso n very soiled
blankets: Air, beat and brush tho blankets
out on the lino beforo washing, so that
overy pobslblo piece of fluff and down Is
removed Then shnvo a couple of bnrs of
good wool sonp Into n basin, add It to a
pan of boiling water nnd nllow it to "Jell"
for n few minutes. Now have a tub
or stationary washtub halt full of warm
water with a half cupful of ammonia In
It Mix tho sonp ln with this, then put In
jour uinnKeis. atir mem around with a
stick, but do nt rub them--squeezo nnd
souse them up .nd down When tho top
of tho water begins to become scummed
with dirt the water should be changed. The
second water should bo like tho first. The
sousing process must bo repeated until all
the dirt is removed. Rinse ln clear water.
Then put them through tho wringer the
Jaws of which should be very wide apart
for this or they will make our blankets
look stringy and hang out on the line.
Blankets should be hung lengthwise on
tho line, using plenty of pins, bo that they
havo no chance to sag. Shade ls better
than sun for drying them. When they are
quite dry go over them well with a clean
whisk broom, brushing with tho nap. This
makes them delightfully fluffy. Fold away
with camphor balls or In moth-proof bags.
The Violet and the Rose
The violet Invited my kiss.
I klss'd It and call'd It my bride ;
"Was over ono slighted llko this?"
Slgh'd the roso as It stood by my sldo.
My heart ever open to grief,
To comfort tho fnlr ono I turn'd ;
"Of fickle ones thou nrt tho chief!"
Frovvn'd tho violet nnd pouted nnd
mourn'd.
Then, to end nil disputes I entwined
The love-stricken blossoms' ln ono ;
But that Instant their beauty declined,
And I wept for tho deed I hnd done !
