Wisdom of Fish By MRS. M. A. WILSON (CcrvrioM. II. hu Mrs. it. A Wittan. AH noma reaervrn, 'AFTER the holidays most of us have in mind the reduction of household expenses with a view to teconomy. Yet many women, when they begin to economize, will cut Mown at once upon meat, eggs, milk and butter. These four foods always seem to come in this order in their schemes of economy. Fruit, fresh vegetables and vari ous other foods that are classed as high in price arc used very sparing ly. Quite recently one housewife Ttfrote me that she felt it good econ omy to cut down on foods that she felt were not really essential to the daily menu. Now keep this in mind: To keep the body physically fit and in good health, it will demand good food and plenty of it; particularly is this true of growing children and per sons doing hard physical labor. Virtually half of the money spent n the home is devoted to the pur chase of food, and even though the exorbitant rise in prices has made this problem a serious one to the average houscwjfe, I feel that fre mZ !. 1 LI AWUU ntiu feO bl Ui; tlllUC LUIlLi iuuitu,-s to help give us less food value per dollar. -v Many women are satisfied to just i I to. hardly canngi that fro- fcuently they could obtain certain foods at a much lower cost if they, wouia dc wining to mko tne time and trouble to turn them into at ' tractive, palatable foods. Now, Mrs. Housewife, if yotr hus- Mrs. Wilson My dear Mrs. Wilson I am taking the liberty of writing to .ydu and I want to ask you some thing. I nm a girl sixteen years old and I have a sick mother; and I have to go to work and when I get home I have to get supper ready. I ot homo about G o'clock. Can you tell me how and what to cook? I would like to know something that would not take very long to cook to get ready. My mother is a very sick woman and I don't like to ask her what to cook all the time (she has been sick for a good while and she is kind of grouchy). Well, I hope I have not asked too much of you. Thanking you for your help, I am, A. S. A. S. I shall be very glad to help you. Next time you write just tell me what you like. As you huve so little time to prepare the meal, I would suggest that on Sunday you ' make a beef or Iamb stew or a nice potroast. Then this can be easily reheated for one or two evenings during the week. Perhaps you have neighbors that would help you out . by cooking a little for you now and again. Unless you use canned foods ,nnd fry or broil meat, it will require more than one hour to prepare, a jneal. However, try these: Macaroni and Beef Cook one-half package of maca roni in a saucepan of boiling water for twenty minutes and then turn Into a colander and let the cold water run on it. Now return to the saucepan and sift over tho macaroni four level tablcspoonfuls of flour. Toss or Btir the macaroni so that the flour will be evenly distributed. Now pour over the macaroni One and one-half cupfuls of milk One-half cup of water Stir until it comes to a boil and then set on the back of the range while you prepare the beef. Tear into small pieces two ounces of dried beef and then pour hot water over it and let stand for five ' minutes. Drain and then add to the macaroni. Then season the macaroni to taste. Beans and Salt Pork Have the butcher cut the salt pork into thin slices and then remove the rind and nick the edges of the meat with a sharp knife. Thi3 prevents it from curling. Parboil for five min utes and then drain. Fry until golden brawn in hot fat and then lift to a warm platter. Then turn a can of beans into the pan and heat slowly for fifteen minutes. If 7ou are willing to do a little cook ing after your supper, you could prepare the next day's evening meal. Boil potatoes in their jackets un til tender and then drain and cool. They may be used for French fried, plain fried or potato salad. To French fry: Pare tho cold-boiled potatoes and then cut into cubes and fry until golden brown in hot fat. For potato salad: Pare and dice the potatoes and to every two cupfuls add Two medium-sized onions, cut fine L ,UUU triUy, chopped fin A Scries on Marketing Today's Home Cooking lesson be gins a series on thrift marketing.

Between you and me, we will agree that he would move in a hurry; he would want to elimi nate the waste immediately. Now it is just the samo with you. In stead of buying expensive foods, learn to purchase those that will give you tho greatest value for tho money that is spent. Some of tho methods of saving arc to eliminate the expensive chops, steaks and roasts nnd to have in their plncc the stews, braises, gou lashes and potroasts that will supply your family with the maximum amount of nutriment for tho money spent, Fish will be found, by actual test. to Jie cheaper than meat, nnd if it is placed twice a week upon the menu, nicely cooked and served, tho family will be delighted.

Why Overbuying Is Extrav agant, Even When Ccr- tain Commodities Arc Cheap Leftovers That Require Much Additional Expense to Complete a Meal Are Wasteful elements, nre vitally necessary for our physical growth and well-being. Now, next to knowing what to buy comes the problem of when and where to purchnsc the food. Many women arc attracted to foods which look nice in the store or market, and in this way they will frequently pur chase some food which they cannot afford. Do not overbuy; even though it is possible to turn the leftovers into palatable dishes. ' This is par ticularly true of perishable foods, as they very often cannot be utilized as leftovers without the additional ex pense of other purchases to complete the meal. Therefore, they aro a waste and it is just the same as if you were throwing money away. Another explanation of overbuying is that frequently one does not re alize the actual amount of food that each individual requires to maintain the body at par. One and one-quarter pounds of bread or one pound of oatmeal or cornmrnl, together with one quart of milk or four ounces of meat; fish or two eggs, together with one and one-quarter pounds of vege tables, two ounces of butter, two 0Unccs of sugar and six ounces of brend, will supply the average man with a daily ration, which will main tain his weight and keep him physi cally fit, even though he is doing hard, physical labor. Now, during tho coming year wo will keep this subject in mind, plan ning from time to time to review and look over our menus, expense accounts and plans for the months to come. Right here I want to ask the housewife to plan her kitchen garden for the early spring, plant ing it with a view to having a con stant supply of lettuce, radishes, corn, salad, scallions and young beets. One tablespoonful of water One tablespoonful of sugar Beat to mix and then fold into stifily beaten whites of one egg. Pour into thin glass and dust with nutmeg and serve. Chicken Broth Purchase a three-pound stewing chicken and have the butcher draw it. Then place on the meat block and with the cleaver chop into pieces as fine as for beef stew. Have the butcher add two small veal bones, preferably from the shoulder, well cracked; to use, wash in lukewarm water and place in the soup kettle and add Three quarts of cold water One fagot of soup herbs One carrot One onion Bring to a boil and then cook slowly for three hours. Strain into a deep bowl and then let coel. Re move the fat nnd return to the ket tle, and simmer slowly until reduced to one quart. This is the concen trated extract of chicken. To serve: Heat and season one cupful of the broth or use it as in mutton puree or beef custard. If I can be of any further help, write me again more fully. My dear Mrs. Wilson In some of your recipes you mention sirup. Is this corn sirup or molasses? Also, would you plcn3e explain just how you use a candy ther mometer and an oven thermome ter Are they tho same? By this I mean can one thermometer be useil for both purposes? Also, I would appreciate it very much if you would explain why some cook books tell you to simply but ter a cake pan, others to butter and flour them and still others to line with greased paper. I have a delicious recipe for apple fritters, to be served with lemon sauce. Are these supposed to be served ns a dessert or dur ing the meal? Thanking you in advance for all this information, '" iirs. Li. j. i. Mrs. L. J. T. White corn sirup is used. A candy thermometer is placed in the saucepan against the side and held in place by an ar rangement on the back of the thcr mometer. This thermometer is used' only for boiling sirup, etc. Oven thermometers are made so as to Bet on the floor of the oven and they cannot bo used in connection with boiling liquids. I am not familiar with the meth ods used in cookbooks. Butter Is too expensive to be used for greasing pan nnd it will ulso cause a cake to burn much quicker than if other shortening is used. Tho apple fritters may bo used as a sweet entrement and served with the roast or as a simple dessert at the close of the meal.

She and her parents lived In the same house that my parents lived In In another city. I expect to go home for a vlidt soon and she s still In the samo cltv. but not the same house. I would llko very much to keep up our friendship, but I hac never made, any appointment with her since we first met. How shall 1 go about It? Is there nny day In the week that Is best for making a date? Would It bo proper to ask her to meet me ot the station; rtnouiu i Invite her to my home? What would be a nice birthday present for thin girl of elehteen? NINKTKKN. Write the girl a little note and tell her you are going home on a vis' and you want to look her up. WIU slit, not let you call? And If so. when? Leave fhn f!Mn nnit nrnlncr for her to choose. only ho certain to tell her how long you will be In th.- city. Write before you go home and tell her where to write her answer hero or In your homo town. Send her some (lowers for lur birth day a bunch of violets or Borne sweet heart roits Ask her to go with you to the theatre while you aro there, and If your mother would like to hno her at jour home for dinner, get her to write to the girl nnd invite her. When yon are about to return here ask her If Mio will wrlto to vou. Do not suggest her meeting you nt the stnjlon or uny nhcre outside of her own homo. Don't Run Away Dear Cynthia I am r K rl seventeen years of age, consldeml good-looking, nlthough I don't think n mjsclf. I nm of a settled disposition. I liao been going with it oung nuin for six months This young man is twenty-two years of nge. While I hac been going with this fellow I base not been out with any on else, and I am most sure ho has not been out with nny other girl. Now this fellow has asked me to marry him, and to do so I would have to run away, for I know my parents would not consent for me to marry, not that they bne anything against the fellow, becatiso he Is very nlco ni)1 lie works steadily, does not smoke, clnjw nor drink. This fellow has neer told me outright that be loved me. He will Bay, "That he cannot gel a nicer girl nor a prettier girl anywhere." And of course I pass that as n Joke. Then he will get cross and will say, "That ho should know, that he Is older than I " Now by his actions I really think he loves me, although he has not told me so. And I know that thcro Is not another fellow t could love better. Do you think there Is so much harm In running awav to get married? I know Dad would not let me get mar ried because he won't let us bring n fellow to the house. Still he knows I go with them. I have told this oung fellow I would go In February and he gave me a ring for Christina", not a diamond, though, rieaie let me know what you would do If ou were me? I can break the engagement, hut I know I will lose my friend when I do It. At least I think so. I remain n STKADY HKADKR. Don't run awav. dear. In the first place, you are very oung to marry, and If this young man really loves ou he will be willing to wait until nu nre eighteen nt least. Then he open and frank with your parents. Tell them ou want to marry, and If they will not con sent you will feel you hae the right to go abend anyhow nfter ou are of nge. but that you want their consent and you want them to nllow the young man a chance to come to the houe and se them nnd for them to get to know him. Asking you to marry him Is tanta mount to saying that he loes von Hut if ou hnv ill these doubts about the matter It does not seem to me that either of j ou Is In ery great earnest. You know when people really love each other and hae gone so far as to ask fnv and promise matrimony they should know a little something about each other. It's not n matter of a few weeks or months, but It's for life, my dear. So think well oer It nnd do not on any account run awav. You would not be Justified In so doing at our age. Helen II. Writes Again Dear Cynthia As I read tho letters that were In this evening's paper both from "experienced," and "One Who Knows," I said to myself, I wonder what the parents think ot girls who camou flage? Do thev .encourage them, or to they plead with them not to use It? I was told that girls who camouflage take cry little heed of what their mothers say. They hardly cer tell their mothers where they arc going; come in when they please, and act as they please. Are the mothers to blame for the way their daughters act? Do the mothers ap prove of n girl dolling up and parading the ptreets? Do the mothirs believe In getting their daughters rich husbands? Will the mothers of these camouflage dolls answer? "Experience," I would not think much of the man who would break an engage, ment nnd never send nny word or phone, or even send a little note giving tho reason. The men I go with would not think of brnaklng nn engagement, nnd if thev had to they would let m know and I wowd not have to wait till I saw them again TVut If nny thing like that ever happened I would not speak to the bov ncaln I don't think the girls would forgive If be ncted that way. How many would? 1 say very few. If they did they trust certainly wjnt his friend ship very badly.

THE 'CHEMISE9 FROCK ' CONTINUES IN VOGUE This "chemise" frock shows an in teresting combination of serge and velvet A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rote T IS dltllcult to tell Just what Is the real reason for tho continued popu larity of tho chemise dress. Of course, during wartlmo we nil said that It was beoause tho chcmlte dress was n simple style, that was particularly suited to the times, llut now that the war Is over, that reason does not bold good, and the designers continue to produce the chcmlso tyie of dress nnd the women adhere to It more than ever be fore. It Is safe to ny that two-thirds of the dresses so far produced for tho coming season are chemise frocks. Vhey are morc narrow about the feet than last season nnd poslbly n little fuller above, but nevertheless they are chemise frocks. In New York tho women persist In wearing these dresses nt nbout ankle length, but In I'nrls the women nre wenrlng their frocks to the top of their boots. With tho spring things we will doubtless see a great change on this side of tho vvnter In the length of skirts. I feel that this Is bound to happen, ns we are bound to follow- the fashion of rarls. whether conscious of doing so or not. The chemise dress shown today Is quite unusual In design nnd shows nn Interesting combination of serge nnd velvi! which takes us away from the old Idea of serge nnd satin. The upper part of the dress Is of the velvet nnd In design resemhles tho Eton Jacket, Four rows of fagoting, done In tan silk, mark the Joining of the velvet with tho serge. Three rows of the fagoting trim tho straight bell-like sleeve. Tho fagot ing Is nlso used on the skirt The girdle is of the velvet A flat bow on the left side Is finished with two long ends of the velvet. The hat Is of satin. The trimming, which consists of braiding, Is dona in squares. Inquiries nre solicited and may be addressed caro of this newspaper. (Copyriuht. 1010. by Florence Rose.)

Hero aro tho rules Just as ho wroto them: Flrit. I.earn to make a man talk nbout tilmarlf. A man lias m much better time when he Is with you If you ran make him talk Instead of making him do all the listening. Try to find out What he I moat vitally In terested In nnd by adroit questioning you can keep him going nil evening. ' Second. Neatness nnd cleanliness are more to be deslrrd than many frills and furbelows nnd regardless of what the nntl-pnlnt and ponder league mar say, no man la likely to fall for n girl with n shiny nose. I am no advocate of a heavy stare make-up .In" the privacy of one's home or In public places, but I do think a girl la legitimately entitled to make herself as attractive as possible If she re sorts to artificial means for this she must satisfy herself that the artlflrl ntlty Is not apparent, nut paint and powder will never take the place of the good, old-fashioned soap-and-water treatment. And let her keep as well shod as possible. A surprisingly large number of men look at a girl's feet be fore they look at her fare. Third. Never, If you want to retain n man's respect, allow him to become familiar with yon. Fourth. Above nil, nnttl you nre sure beyond the shadow nf a doubt that n man Is In love with you and not jour face or your fortune, do not let blm think that you are simply ernry about blm and him ntone. Make him think that If he wants you he will hnve to work hard for yon. Any girl might do well to cut out' except that, like nil other stories, they should, If possible, bo typewritten, or If not that, very clearly written with wide spacing between the lines. Use only one sldf of the paper, of coursi The best way to find out tho sort of story nny magazine will huv Is to study the maga zine. You can in that way find out the sort of story It does huv.

WE AUE Indebted to .he young man for the remark about shoes. How ( many, many girls do consider tho nlco nppenrance of their feet unimportant. I have seen tho very smartest sort of girls ruin their entire costume with a pair of heels run down and shoes un polished. Ono might never suspect a visit to the shoe storo or tho shoe mender or a trip to the bootblack might bo tho way to a man's heart. Hut It is qulto true, well-dressed young m6n become disgusted with tho girl whoso footgear Is untidy, and aro at tracted to her by the neat, trim shoes. The rest of the second rule Is equally Important. Good old-fashioned soap and water! How very many of our girls need It! Men are fastidiously; clean. Most of them have gone In for athletics nnd havo acquired the shower. Their faces shine with the pink of health and dashes of water. How disgusted they nfust become, then, sometimes, with the endless proces sion of young girls who build their faces up with 'kalsomlno" when a good scrubbing would bo much more to the point. And a man does not like a shiny nose, cither. This means, girls, use powder and a little color If you need It. 'but please get into the full glare of the day with your mirror be fore you go out Into the street. THE first rule I firmly believe In, regardless of the fact that It Isa concession to the vanity of man. Tho third nnd fourth rules speak eloquently for themselves. They are very well put and, coming from a young man, havo double weight. ways of making a needle float on the surface of the water. The simplest way" Is to place n piece of tissue paper on It The paper soon becomes soaked with water and sinks to tho bottom, while tho needle Is still floating on the top. Another method Is to hang tho needle In two slings made of threads, which must be carefully drawn away as soon as the needle floats. If vou magnetize a sewing needle bjr rubbing It on a fairly strong magnet and float It on the witter. It will make an extremely sensltlvo compat.s, nnd If you piace iwo neeuies on ine surface or tne water nt the same time you will see them slowly approach each other, until they float side by side: that Is.
