EXPERT ADVICE ABOUT SEWING V EVEltY WOMAN WILL SOON HAVE TO DO HER OWN HOUSEWORK Alarming Dearth of Servants Due to the Drop in Emigration Foreign Help Make More in Munition Factories THE averago gtrl of leisure who wants to prepare herself to keep house scion; tlflcally' for her futuro lord and master deesn't go Into tho kitchen to learn It, as feer mother did. She goes to a domestic eience school. There sho leirns to speak familiarly I might almost say flippantly of calories, proteins and all the other mysterious things thaf old-fashioned eeoks wot not of. Which Is quite as it hould be. We certainly can't live with out cooks and our chances are consider ably slimmer with poor cooks., Jot only tho leisure classes study cook ing nowadays girls of wealth, whoso Idea of real work Is to lace up their own shoes and who nover have to worry about a, dollar many Rlrls of this class nro studying food values and working hard at tho artistic drudgery known as domes tic science. Why? Just becauso they know that the day is not far off when tho. servant will bo as scarce as tho dodo, Money won't buy her services; sho Just won't exist. The race will have disap peared from this sldo of the globe. Those who are 'In servlco over hero will bo bo much in demand and so prosperous that they won't need to work and no help will ba available from abroad, becauso better Jobs can bo found In tho munition fac tories. Thero are a hundred and one places open to women in Europe today that would not be avallablo at any other time. If we can't get them to do our house work wo must naturally do it ourselves. This is the situation that must bo met In the near future not tho appalling serv ant problem, but tho moro appalling "servantless" problem. And tho solution of the problem of doing without a maid la offered by Mrs. MarjFanton Roberts, housekeeper par excellence and editor of ono of the big magazines. Since we must do housework, says she, why look upon It as drudgery? Why not mako it roman tic? This Is how Mrs. Roberts makes her work "romantic": ' "If tho woman at the head of the house Is going to make up her mind to do her own work, or a part of It, with tho least posslblo friction and a maximum of hap piness, sho must also mako up her mind to do away with fashion In furniture and In house decoration. Sho must mako up her mind to live In a houso that la built attractively In tho beginning and will maintain that form of Comfort and at tractiveness to tho end, not a houso that will easily submit to alteration. 'Tor example, much of her furnlturo will bo built In. Sho will have no heavy divan to lift around every cleaning day, for tlicso things will bo built In with tho house, two In the' living room, perhaps, and one In tho dining room. The book cases will bo built In. No straining of muscles to pull them out In order to get at tho wads of dirt secreted behind them. Tho kitchen and dining room will be Joined with tho adroit skill of the archi tect in such a way that no Bound in tho kitchen is echoed in tho dining room, and, yet both rooms aro so cloao that few steps need bo taken In going from one to tho other. A tiny hallway, perhaps two feet across, separates kitchen from dining room. "AhJ to the dining room, tho house wlfo, when sho does her own work, will have no tableclotlw, I never owned a tablecloth In my lllfcl Sho will have cross pieces of Japancso runners or other pretty novelty bits and dollies which can bo replaced easily If ono of them meets with an accldont or becomes soiled. Thus the laundry bill is reduced or tho laundry work, whichever tho case happens to be." No heavy dlvnnsl No tablecloths! This would Indeed bo tho millennium. A woman could do her own work and still remain a lady. Letters to the Editor of tho Woman's Page A&lreae all communication to Bdllor of Woman' rate. Write on one rid of the paper only.

I have decided promote tho growth of the hnlr and what will prevent the hair from falling- out. DAILY HEADER. Tho growth of tho hair depends upon the amount of nourishment It gets. Mas saging and manipulating the scalp also promote growth. You can combine tho two by using a gooa hair tonic nightly and rubbing It vigorously Into the scalp. Part the hair Into strands and apply to each part. Castor oil, coal oil and quinine and cocoanut oil will also give good results. Many of the best hair tonics are composed chiefly of one of these ingredients. The treatment I have already described keeps the hair from falling out. Keeping the scalp scrupulously cjean Is another aid.

The pink you Incloso Is rather vivid to uso with dark 'green. It would make a glaring combination and one that you would soon tire of, I fear. You could use It as a pleated edge on your georgetto collar and chemisette, though, with very good results. But I would not use tho color In a solid mass. A soft flesh-pink collar and chemisette, edged with the pink pleating, would also be pretty. It would Insure you against looking pale and old, for nothing Is more flattering to clear skin than flesh pink. Your beads should come In very handy this winter for evening gowns.
