HOUSEHOLD HINTS COMMENT OP M'LISS MARION HARLAND'S CORNER QUERIeI GET NEW STOCK OP ADJECTIVES, M'LISS ADVISES WOMEN Give Such Poor Hard-Worked Words as "Nice," "Good," "Wonderful," "Pretty" a i Much-Needed Rest SEEN IN THE? SHOPS A WOMAN of my acquaintance who prides herself on her mentally and on her discriminating: and comprehensive taste In literature) to say nothing; of her quick powers of observation and facile ability to grasp, superficially at least, the sum and substance of tho most abstruso subject, was considerably chagrined at a man's remark that sho didn't think. 'Women don't think," ho said, general Izlng, "but for that matter, neither do a great many mon." Tho woman bridled and replied with some heat that she didn't sit around In an attitude similar to Rodin's masterpleco; that circumstances did not permit hor to set aside a number of hours each day for tho purpose of meditation and concen tration, but that still she did not believe sha had allowed her mental apparatus entirely to atrophy. To moko a sweeping statemont thnt women do not think Is ridiculous. To overhear tho porch conversation of tho rocking chair brigado at4 any summer resort is to bo inclined to' make such a ridiculous statemont. Women's thoughts exemplified in their conversation do not show a very devious or interesting process or reasoning or philosophizing. Here's a samplo of th verbal gems dropped on tho veranda of any summer hotel. "Mary's got a nice complexion. I won fler what sho does to keep It like that." "Isn't It wonderful tho way some girls can do without cold cream and everything like that and still havo a nice skin?" "I had a friend once who had the prettiest complexion you over saw, and she ate as much candy as sho wanted and rravles and everything olso llko that." Elsie goes by In a new frock and Mary's epidermis Is forgotten In tho now train of thought suggested by the former's Bar torlal equipment. "They say she has the most wonderful dressmaker, who makes tho nicest clothes for little or nothing. But of courso she won't tell the name." "Isn't It wonderful the way somo women can keep somo secrets and can't keep othors?" Wonderful," wonderful, wonderful, nice, pretty, good, bad the paucity of tho feml nlno adjectival equipment Is a source of wonderment lndcod. Certainly tho ma Jorlty of us do not exercise much thought In the choice of our words. Anything can bo nice, from tho now maid to tho latost Fronch play. Over and over again wo rettorato tho same phrases, tho same expressions, making of that art which should bo tho most volatile tho most piquant and enlivening, tho art of con versation, a. leaden and dead thing. Perhaps It's a matter of limited vocab ulary; It may bo a matter of light-head-edness. But, after all, a man's conversa tion at his club would not sound more edifying I am suro. I think I really do sometimes that what wo women need to mako us moro Interesting and to sllonco these malo thinkers Is to bo very, very heavy. When they would talk to us about tho moon and tho length of our eyelashes and tho adorable way In which our back hair curls on our necks, wo should explain to thorn our philosophy of llfo; wo should dlscoureo swoetly upon Kant and Eucken and tho mysteries of tho fourth dimension. Wo should think. M'LISB. fc Letters to tho Editor of tho Woman's Pago Address alt communications to 31'J.tu, cars of the ETcnlni Xedzer. Write on one lido of (he paper onlr.

MARION HARLAND'S CORNER "QOME time ago I noticed In the Corner O a request for literature for tho blind. Noting- the Inclosed article In a magazine, J thought it might be of Interest: 'Requests for literature for the blind should be sent to Gould's Free Library for tho Blind, South Boston, Mass. This Bible literature Is In English Braille, American Braille and Now York point. The literature will bo loaned free and tho postofneo will handle them without postage. If the package 1b marked plainly: "Literature for the Blind. Post ge free.' " MRS. M." Nut Basket Stiffening "I read the article upon stiffening hut baskets. My mother mado a set and a large one. For the stiffening she used sugar and cold water. No decided propor tions. It must be quito thick. I hope this will prove helpful to' the Cornerlte who Inquired. E. M. B." More About the Same "I have noticed In the Corner that a friend would like to stiffen nut baskets made of crochet work. Melt paraflln wax (as for the top of Jelly glasses). Care fully Insert the basket Into the hot wax. In a few minutes the wax will be cool and the basket Is solid. Don't try to shape It after dipping, as It Is apt to spoil It, and one Is obliged to' redlp the basket. The Intense summer heat may soften the wax, but mine have never changed shape. Of course. It may be reshaped again whilo 9ft This is the neatest and best way cum powder Into your shoes In summer to keep them from "smarting" the feet, which are tender from much perspiration during the hot weather. Also, use It on tho feet themselves. Ink stains may be removed If, after tho accident, lemon, vinegar or oxalic acid Is used. Keep 5 cents' work of oxalic acid in the house and ready for rust, mildew, dusty hairs, etc. This may bo made easily by putting tho powder In an eight-ounce bottle and filling up with water. e. C. V." Two Recipes "Recipes are always wanted and these are seasonable, if you care to print them In your Invaluable Corner: "Piccallll Use elder clnegar. Chop fine one peck of green tomatoes and one head of cabbage. Mix with them a large cup ful of salt and put all Into a coarse cheese cloth bag. Drain all night. Chop four green peppers and six large onions. Mix with cabbage and tomatoes. Pour over them enough hot weak vinegar to cover. Drain again. The next morning heat the same quantity of good vinegar, adding two tablespoonfula of whole mustard seed, and pour over tho pickle. It will be ready to use when cold. "Sweet Pickled Cucumbers Ripe cucum bers are used for this pickle. Pare, seed and cut seven pounds of cucumbers Into inch slices. Cook In vinegar and water, half and. half, adding a little salt until clear looking, but not soft. Drain In a colander. Now, to the seven pounds of uuuiiiucra, uiiow iour pounas or sugar, a pint of cider vinegar, one dozen wholo 50 CHANGES IN HIGH SCHOOL FACULTIES Many Transfers, Promotions and Additions When Sessions Are Resumed "FLAPPER" SUIT OF NAVY BLUE THE college- season Is drawing near and the young girl's wardrobe must bo thought of before all else.

Should the basket I gloves, two blades of mace, a few cassia become soiled from long standing It may be dipped again In wax, and it will become like new. MRS. C. E. R." Concerning 'Tenting Tonight" "I noticed an inquiry in the Corner anent the old song Tenting on the Old Camp Ground.' It was written by a New England Yankee, Walter Klttredge. I saw him many years ago at a New Hampshire fair, and heard him sing this song and others of his own composition. lie wrote many songs which were popular during the war, especially with the soldiers In the field. Klttredge played his own accomnanlment on what looked like an old melodeon, and which he carried under his arm and held on his knees while playing. I believe that during a large part of the war he was at the front with the soldiers, visiting from camp to camp, singing his songs. They nave what we would call 'a heart Interest.' It is easy to imagine the hold his songs had upon the hearts and minds of the sol diers, away from home and friends. "C. U J." Miscellaneous Hints I will send In a few practical Items that way help some one In the time of need; Iron a table cloth with not against the grain of the threads. Add turpentine to dry shoe polish to soften It. Sprinkle tal- buds and a good "sprinkle" of stick clnna. mon. Put sugar, spices and vinegar In a preserving kettle, bring to the bc"'ng point; add tho cucumbers and scald thor oughly until cooked but not mushy. Drain, and when cool pack Into Jars, with a few rafslns between the layers. "FAITHFUL CORNERITE."
