WILSON GIVES SUNDA Y MENUS TO DEFEAT HIGHCOST OF LIVING Three Meals, Based on Those Once Planned by Queen I'ictoria When She Invesli paled the Possibilities of Three Shillings Sixpence Their Cost Note Would lie Two Dollars THE high cost of livinp is partly! the result of wronp and silly standards of living. In the genera tions gone by, the women folk were producers as well as consumers; and few housewives would admit that they were failures it. the making of the home. i The grandmother of ycstciday will tell you that she had no delicti-1 tcsscn shop to depend upon and that the men folks liked plum, well-1 seasoned, home-cooked food. Grand-1 mother made her own In eads. cakes, ' pics and cookies, and it was seldom that any one could find her pantry ' empty. We, the housewives of modern times, feel perfectly satisfied to pur chase many of our.foods prepared,' and for this reason'-wo must pay a double price. This is a great mis take. For the woman who seldom cooks cooking soon becomes a lost art, Bnd a nation whose housewives lose the art of preparing palatable Rnd attractive foods soon produces a nation of weaklings. So, Mrs. Housewife, if great chefs take pride and pleasure in preparing I and serving attractive foods in hotels and mansions, you must roll f up your 'own sleeves and with a face beaming with pride and pleasuie concoct for your family dainty -and inexpensive foods that will give them muscle and brawn, as the Scotchman says, and send foith - - . . f 1; from your domicile a lace of self- icliant and sturdy men and women. This can only be done when the housewife is vitally interested and i constantly helping and supervising i Uie actual preparation of the food. The Oucen of Encland always had one real ambition, and it was to take a market basket on her arm and go to market with three shillings six pence in her purse. You know that this amount of money is less than ?1 in American money, and to hear her express this desire it was bbt i natural to want to know just how I she would select the foods. Here is l an outline of what the queen would I . ... ,,.., i .i .ii select witn a nuie icss man um- lar in the year of 1880: Breakfast Hot Scones with Jam , Tea Dinner .

STAKT THIS STOItY TODAY Ql'CII was Jane's story. Now she J bad coi come to tell Helen her cood news. Twent dollars a week may look like a paltry sum to a crcat many people j but to Jane it spelt wonders. She wns going to take a larger room in the boarding house where she was stnjing, Isbe h.id enlained. icanlp' 'e s a cannv "lc lmuS- "It seems horrible for a child like that to suffer as' Jane has. I should think it would make her fearfully bit ter. ' "Does she stem bitter to you-' ' Uuth shook her head. "Well, she isn't bitter, not a bit, but she has a fault that will bung bei more uuhappiness some day unless she is tareful." There was so much of piophecj iu Helen's oiee that Huth looked up al most staitleil, wondering what that fault could be. "An aesthetio fault," amended Helen, "untidiness." Huth could not help smiling t'n tidiuess might be a fault, but oue could never call it a seriou's' one. "All right," Helen said quickly, "you're laughing at mo now. I'd Mike to wager that some day Jane is going to suffer more through it than she has this far." And Ituth went home that afternoon thinking about what Helen had said. Of course Helen bnd exaggerated fright fully, but she had been so sure of what she was saying. In the meantime Uuth intended to know Jane better. Khe was an interesting type. It woiiWhc fun to know her better, to ask her to the house. It promised a diversion from the general type of woman Uuth hud known thus far. Uuth forgot Jnue for a week and then suddenly remembered her and telephoned Helen one evening to know how Jane could be reached. "We'll hunt her up some night," Helen suggested, and two nights later on one of the evenings when Scott was to uc oui, me iwo gins went 10 nunc up Jane. The house where Jane stopped was tho tjpical boarding house, not any worse than most and not any better. It bad the regulation stone flight of steps leading up to the fi out door, and tho regulation untidy innid of nil work opened that door to the girls. When Helen asked for Mrs. Knowles the girl pointed upstairs. "Door to the left back," she said laconically, no expression at nil on her face, and Huth and Helen climbed the stairs and knocked on the door desig nated.' "Come iu," called a chirrupy voice. Jane's voice had delicious inflections. It sounded like a spring morning, It wai full of bird tones, It was charming to listen to. Helen pushed open the door. Jane was Hitting on the floor beside the couch where the baby was lying, kicking, up its little heels. The room was unspeakable. Even Itutli saw that In the corner was a heap of Roiled linen, little dresses, crumpled socks, and on two of the chairs was piled clean laundry which had not been pur. away, jane tierscit wore a ilirty old smock over a soiled" underskirt.

It is a color tbnt will hae the light look this autumn and one thing that will doubtless grat ify jou if jou have already made plans for a blown autumn frock it cnmiot possihh Income too gieatlj popularized, for it must still lestyon a plane of the things that belong to the exclusive few. And the lenson is that there is a marked shortage of brown fabrics iu the market Makers of frocks and suits who put things 6ut iu lnrgc quan tities at small prices hae not been nble niaay of them to get enough brown to meet their needs. There is espe cially a shortage of less expensive brown materials, this because the textile makers simply, did not foicsec such a demand for hi own. So if jou have brown jou may be sine that jou will not be dressed in the same color that cery other woman jou meet wears. Some of the smaller establishments, seeing the shortage of brown, immediately made arrangements with expert dyers to dj-c the fabrics they needed in the various fashionable shndes of brown, and not infrequently lace or net is dyed to match exactly the silk or woolen fabric with which it is to be worn. For brown is like graj in that it must not be mixed. One shade of brown against another is al most an eyesore. Two shades of blue hometlmes are quite attractive, and gieens can be combined sometimes with good enough effect, but one almost noer can wed browns with hope of harmony. You can tell at n glance that this is one of Uie most recent frocks and that it is really hot from the designers. For it has thos2 dinkly little extended hips that break out nlmost nt right angles fiom the waist. They are charming if jou arc slender.

"Cold will do if wc rub her thoroughly nfteiwnrd " Helen looked up at Jnne nnd spoke severely. "Do jou mean to tell me that jou ccr bathe that baby in cold water." "Why, Helen," the chirrup was gone from Jnne's joice. "Do jou?" "Yes." , "Has anything ever happened?" Jane flushed. "Sunday she had cramps, but It probably wasn't from that.''

Or wns he, as I said before, just trying to test me? Perhaps some of our readers can reply to this. TROUBLED. Boys do try to test girls this way, although sometimes they do not realize that is what they are doing.

Yes, indeed, I do agree that a girl should go around with more than one boy unless she is engaged. The only thing that jou can do is to make your decision that you arc going to have other company nnd then have it. If the young man you speak of haB asked you to marry him you will be able to explain to him Hint jou feel you nro too joung nnd unsettled in jour minK to be thinking of tbnt yet, and that until j-ou nrc engaged you feel it is only right tbnt jou should sec other boys.
