Mi?S. 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

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

BROWN IS THE SMART
COLOR FOR AUTUMN
iCfriWi&ra!!?) Kl
A sjniphony In brown. The dress

trimmed with matched brown taf
feta ribbon '
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
BECOMING or not, brown is im
mensely smart. 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. If you arc too
snder jou may well rejoice in them,
lint here is deoutly hoping that the
woman that is too stout does not'be
come enamored of them and determine
on haung her next frock built accord
ing to this model !

"Yes." ,

For Short Eyelashes
Dear Cjuthla PJcnse .advlso me
whnt to do about my cj clashes. Thej,
arc so short and thin and very light.
Is there any thing you can tell me to
make them just the opposite of what
they are?. I cut them to make them
grow. Don't you think that was a good
idea' ANXIOUS.

Just Forget About It
Dear Cynthia I am a joung girl
nearly sixteen jcars of age, and while
isiting, not long ago,) I became ac
quainted with n very nice young man,
(at least I thought so then). Every
time that I went out riding with him
he would try to kisH je, but I would
not let him. Now just before I left he
begged me to let him kiss mo good-by,
and I ery foolishly did permit him.
Now, Cynthia, did Hint joung man
only do that to rcc what kind of a !irl
I was? Do jou think that it was
ery wrong for mc to let him do it?
I renlly liked him very much, nnd I
feel sure Hint 1 would not have let
him if I had not liked him. But was
he a nice boy to beg me to let him kiss
mo? 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. It is only
when they go home and think things
over that they realize it is often pos
sible to analjre girls in this way. I
wouldn't worry, however, denr. Just
don't do it again, because there will
be so mnnj who will nsk just that same
question and jou only cheapen jourself

Eolnjr'all the lime with ouc paitlculnr

have more than ono friend to go around

doesn't ngrco witli me. Especlnllj-1
when jou are young uiid don t feel
inclined to settle down just yet. It
seems silly to do, ns some call it. "keep

young, don't think that I mean fifteen

joung man I speak of thinks that it
should be him onl.w or not at all and
doesn't like the idea of my going out

don't go with him.
It would be diffetent If 1 intended to

I wouldn't do so for about four or five
years to come if I did have the remotest
idea, of so doing. He is a cry nice

to keep a girl down to one. I recently

come, but if I do it will mean a scrap

I like the first one very much and I
would hate to lose his friendship, but
going with one all the time isn't
exactly whnt I like. I like the boy
I just met and would like to cultivate
his friendship, but don't want to lose
the other's. Please help mo out and
I will be your sincere well-wisher.
MARIE W.
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. If he
hna not asked jou to marry him, 'of
cpursc there is no leason why he should
ask jou to give all your time to him.
If he cares deeply and jou still permit
him to come see you a generous number
of times I don't think he will "get
mad" and go away.

WILL IEVEWBE HAPPY
AGAIN? THIS GIRL WRITES
A' Little Discussion of That Weil-Known Little Line of Poetry,
"When Half-Gods Go, the Gods Arrive" '
T"EAH Friend Some few piouths
- ago I received a shock that I
think would have broken my heait If
hearts ccr really do break. I had
centered nlmost every thought, hope
nnd desire- In one man who forgot
inc absolutely In an Incredibly short
time. There Is one thing I dread
and that is becoming embittered. I
have kept ou going out nnd among
friends nnd to. places, of amusement.
I joke nnd lnngh nnd talk, but nil
the time the hurt feeling seems to
be growing worse. I don't lark
occupation as I have a good position
which requires my best efforts and
holds mv Interest, What inn I do,
or can I never be happy? Please do
not think I mope. Every one nys I
have lots of "pep" nnd no one seems
to think I hnve suili a thing as a
heart. I have a reputation for wit
and I have to live up to it when I
feel like crying. Denr friend, if you
can help mc 1 shall be ever grate

It is soft, soothing, and keeps the

That's why Talcolette is popular

Perhaps this famous little line of
poetry wouldn't be so firmly Impressed""
on my mind if it1 weren't that ths
philosophy in it invnriablj' comes triic.
I would like to hnvc j on by my sld
now so that I might recount to you all
tho mses I know where girls hav
thought they could never be happy
ngnln nnd where, not more (ban a year
inter, they luue been so hnppy that all
the world wasn't big enough to hold
their thrill and joy.
The thing for ou to do, Janet, is
keep on just the way you arc going
with just one new kind of medicine.
Take up some sort of course nt a night
school, one that will inject a new in
terest Into jour life, nnd keep j-ou busy
mastering it. Or Instead of this you
might try going in for some social
service work In, the evenings.
Work is the best tenchcr of n'l vtn
mnke one forget nnd play is the next
best. See to it that you arc never
idle work or piny nnd try not to
spend much time alone. It you keep
on being as brave as jou arc now, and
keep on long enough, there is simply no
way to escape being hnppy and ridic
ulously happy soon again. I know,
Janet, the second young man of your
dreams will build up in you all th
faitii the first young man tore down.

Miss C. had a dog nnd would like t
give it to some one outside of the city.
I lire in a country town and would
like to have a nice dog as a pet. I hav
a nice big bark nnd front yard.
I would like very much to have a
dog like that one. If T am the lucky
one to get Tcodles I will give him a
nice home. T, (j.
Unfortunately this little chap's let
ter did not come jintll after several
other communications had been for
warded to Miss, C, the owner of Too
dies; so I take the liberty of turning
the application over to other readers.
Perhaps there is some one else who
would like to place a nice dog in a
home where there is a "nice big back
and front jnrd." Letters for our young
friend will be forwarded to him.
