To allow a half can of corn or peas or tomatoes to stand in the icebox and spoil is not only wasteful, but careless as well. If. you nna tnai only a spoonuu or uvo, is left over utilize this small amount for garnishes, with omelets or in vegetable salads. Old potatoes are now beginning " i to sprout unless carefully conserved1 and the new ones are expensive. Now is a splendid time to provide variety by serving rice and hominy to replace the potatoes.

B. in your col umn on the 10th instant you said three-quarters of a cup of water; did you not mean milk? I, too, have had the same trouble in making loaf cake; the texture is coarse and the center level with the sides. In order to distribute theifruit evenly what do you sug gest? Mine always sinks to the bottom. Do you use ordinary flour for cakes or what is called pastry flour, and what is the difference between them? Mrs. K. Water makes a tender, delicate cake that does not keep fresh as lone as that made with milk. Milk In bake makes a qake that will keep moist longer than that made with water, but this cake is less delicate. Place fruit on top of the cake dough when in the pan ready for the oven; the rising of the dough will permit the distribution of the fruit. Stand ard blends of flour will give good re sults.

Here is the way of it: The manufacturer takes the pure, clear Juice of the m6st Carefully selected coffee beans, and after drying it, makes of It a povvored coffee that is not only soluble In hot water, but in cold water as well. This means that without a bit of fuss onbother you can have hot or ice coffee at any time. All ,vou need do is to add a part of a tea- 'spoonful of this powdered coffee. Gone is the nuisance of the-coffee pot, and the emptying of the coffee grounds. You I can make your coffee right at the table. I know it is delicious, for 1 have tried il, nnd jouMl ngree withme that this Soluble coffee would be most convenient. 1 You can secure a tin for thirty cents. j Many jcars ago t had some friends 'who had quite the most fnscinating cig arette box T have ever seen. It is a Japanese box, and, in fad, 1 doubt if any out the Japanese, never, imrnniu-. little people that they arc, could have fashioned such a box. It is of lacquer vvaie, and standing on the box is a tall, graceful stork. Rut here is the fascinating pnrt about it. Von press a spring, and Mr. Stork (or should it be Mrs?) bendR over, and seizes a clg aietle in his mouth. Makes a body want to spend the evening pushing the spring to see the stork perform. Last night as Hillie and I wot ft walking alone, with no thought of the adventures, I discovered another one of these boxes. tict "him" one to keep on the living loom table. The price is $2.75.

Indubitably she should have had one of the lovely sprinkleis 1 saw today. This sprinkler Iojk's for all the world like a rubber bottle with a perforated metal top. To spray the flowers, you squeeze (he bottle, and the water is distrib uted evenly. And here is something else I suspect about Mary.

DOES THE BUSINESS GIRL MAKE A. VERY GOOD WIFE This Would-Be Suitor Would Like to Know Before He Pops the Fatal Question Crocheting Versus Typewriting r)0 BUSINESS women make the best -' wives? A mere man reader of the woman's page claims to be very much attracted by a young woman who is in the same office with him and who is especially noted for her splendid ability. He has managed to meet the joung lady in, a social way nnd is now be ginning to ponder a bit. "You see.dcar lady editor," heV rites. "I am tired of just calling on girls. I frankly admit I would like to be married, and the next clrl T nnv n irrent cicai ot attention to must be the one I think well enough of to ask to marry me If ahe will have me. Now about this sirl. She is so methodical in her business ways that I nm nfrnld she won't be interested in a home or won't in fact, be a home-maker. And visiting around among my joung married friends (men) I have come to dread the girl who doesn't know how to make n home. Do jou know what I mean? Everything upset all the time, nothing homelike about it at all. Won't jou give us nn opinion on the business girl as n wife? A WOULD-BK SUITOR." Yes. I know what you mean, "Would be Suitor." Hut let me hasten to tell jou this. There's many a girl gadding about the town today not knowing shorthand from Chinese, who is the despair of her mother's heart because she knows as little about cooking and housekeeping and takes as little interest in it. And there's many a girl faith fully tapping a typewriter all day long who goes home at nlgbt and sews on funny little cretonne curtains until midnight just because she has that love ot home-making in her. PERSONALLY, I believe in the busi- ness girl as a wife. I mean the effi cient business girl you describe. The fact that a girl puts her whole heart into the dally routine of her position doesn't mean she isn't interested in anything else. It simply means what ever she does she does well. The girl who buckles down to work when she is in tle office and forgets nil about the little fripperies of life for the time being is none the less the woman, my dear friend. Neither is the girl who brings all her fancy work down town with her or who pervades the atmos phere of the office with that of the boudoir any more the woman. Wom anliness is something apart from all this, deeper tb.au fancy work or crochet, and at the same time too deep, too infinite ly fine and lovable to be destiojed by the mere accurate clicking of a well-kept typewriter.

Wrens Arc Sociable The house wren is one of the most sociable and confiding of birds nnd on this nccount they will build their nests in little houses that nre built for them no matter how close this Is to a hu man habitation, says the American Forestry Association, Washington, whose bird -building contests is arous ing widespread interest among school children throughout the nation in bird life nnd conservation.
