MRS. WILSON PLANS
. MEALS FOR THREE DAYS
rf7f7i Careful Marketing in Person, the Housewife Can Get
. Necessary Provisions for. Moderate Prices Goulash Recipe
Dy MRS. M. A. WILSON
fCepvnoht, litO. by Jfrj. .W. A. Wilson, Ml
rlehtt rtitrved. i
JUST why Mir overage housewife
dreads or dislike to supervise her
marketing persnnnlly la perhnps due to
the fact flint she seldom tries to mnke
a apodal study of this part of her
household dtitii" find therefore mIic is
quite apt to run along from week to
week in the snmt old rut.
She just plnns to have meat, poto
, toes, a vegetable, sometime a salad
and a desert Most assuredly it is a
fact that the housewife who proclaims
that she sets onlj the plainest table is
quite likely the one whose meat and
grocery bills are much higher than her
neighbor's. Yet she falls to understand
that it is the thought and time thnt
Is put into the preparation of the dish,
rather than the money spent, that per
mits her neighbor to have nn infinitely
larger varlet and to serve more fancy
dishes.
Braises, stews, goulashes, ragouts
bare inexpensive meat bases, and when
Mrvcd in individual baking dishes,
custard cups nnd ramekins they take on
quite a festive air. Croquettes, cut
lets and eminces, too. are easv to make
aud afford variety. Their plebeian baso
is masked with bailees, gravies nnd
sarnlshes with attractive tlavorings
The less expensive table d'hote din
ners served in the Latin Quarter in
New York nnd other cities nre eagerly
sought nnd enjoyed bv the epicure nnd
lover of good foods, and yet when ou
sum up the whole menl you have a
generous helping of houp, usually n
vegetable one, a liberal helping of one
'of the Italian pastas or perhaps its
equivalent, the Belgian. Swiss or Hun
garian dumpling, with n meat flavor.
mucc or gravy, a salad and n dessert
and a cup of good coiree.
Surely any housewife can prepare a
meal that will not only compare but,
to me, one that will fnr surpass it, if
she will but put her miud to the mar
keting. A dninty dinner of several well
planned conrscs really costs no more
than n meal composed of steak, chops.

this idea in mind, we will plan

jesterday. If 1 am I'm going to fctrikc. Just disposed of n half-chewed break
fast. Wc ran for the train, which meant that I was so jiggled about and so
t:red that it took me twice us long to do my work. Hope she gives me an hour
or two of complete rest before anything comes my way.
10:30 A. M. Two glasses of ice wator have just arrived. It will take nil
the energy 1 can pump up in the next hour to warm me up to normal ngalu.
10:D0 A. M. Half -chewed breakfast didn't satisfy her and she has bought
ecmo pennuts and started eating them.
Ill M. Peanuts have dribbled aloug
she has finished them, though.
Il2:ii0 P. M. Decided she wasn't very hungry, and instead of a good old
solid dinner sent me down a cold eggnogg heavy with chocolate. Could havo
managed it all right if it hadn't been so cold, bi't that makes it terribly hard
to deal with.
1:10 P. M. More ice water.
1:40 P. M. Was mistaken about the peanuts. She found another handful
in tho bottom of the bag and now I have them to tend to.
2:05 P. M. More ice water.
Ji:15 P. M. She has been lifting some heavy books, and, as usual, used
my muscles instead of her arm muscles, as she should have done. Tired me
more than digesting a sir-course dinner.

HUMAN CURIOS
tiie MAnnuis or akot.ksky's leg
Among tho showplaces of tho battle
field of Waterloo are the grave of the
leg of tho Marciuls of Anglesey, the
house in which it was cut off and the
boot which was amputated along with
the leg, the marquis having been wound
ed In the battle which marked tho turn
ing point in the fortune of Nnpoleon.
The owner of tho house which enshrines
this relic find that it is a most lucra
tive source of revenuo, for ho hart in
terred the leg in the garden of tho inn,
In a coftln under a weeping willow nnd,
abovo it, ha placed an epitaph stating
that "here Is interred tho leg of tho Il
lustrious and valiant Comte d'Uxbrldge,
commander of the English, Belgian nnd
Dutch cavalry, wounded In tho memor
ablo battle of Waterloo on June 18,
1816."
Of far more interest to the casual
visitor, however, Is the couplet which
somo wag has scrawled under tho
epitaph:
"Hero lies the Marquis of Anglesey's
limb,
The devil will have the rest of him."
This is capped bv a second verse, at-
1 trmuteu 10 i.-.innimr, when reads:
"Here rests and let no sauoy knave
Presume to sneer or laugh,
1 To learn that mouldering In this grate
There lies a British calf

By OXNTHIA
What He Told Her
Dear Cynthia I simply cannot let
"Rcmorseful's" letter pass without a
comment. I am an Irish girl nnd have
only been in tho country fivo months and
durlntr that tlmo havo amused myself
reading Cynthia's column'. It Is both
amusing and Instructive. I do not know
what opinion tho Amorlcan male section
havo of wo Irish, but I certainly can
vouch for tho decent Irish girl. A
yountr man In Ireland told mo that ho
kept company .with a number of Girls
nnd beltoves ho could havo married any
one of them, but got disgusted with them
bocauso they cheapened tnemselves. Ho
says no fellow hno a grain of respect for
tho girl who permits liberties. This
young fellow was ongngud to bo mar
ried when I camo away and knowing I
was going awav ho was moro confidential
than usual nnd told me that tho girl h
hopes to make his wlfo nan restored
his faith In the virtue of womankind.
Ho argues that any girl who allows
herself to bo "mushod" over before be
ing married would certainly allow tho
same after marriage.
NIL UESPBRANDUM.
Laughs at Ex-Top Kick and Buddy
Dear Cynthia Such a laugh as I had
ever tho "Ex-Top Kick's" nnd the 'Tjor-
poral's" letter. Toll mo uo navo mo
slrls quit kissing thorn because tney
i ire out of uniform or havo thoy really
i reformed? My opinion Is thoy aro talk
1 Ing Just to honr themselves. "Thorn
'aro no such men" aa they try to depict
I hemselvcs to be. Tho present-day 1J20
model man expects a kiss for every
tiicKel no spends.
And when It comes to considering the
housewifely talents of a "flower" they
fall In lovo with, bcllovo mo they aro
willing to tako their chances with "In
digestion." A man's love Is located In his eyes.
Beauty will hold him whon service and
loyalty novor could. I'H bet tho "Ex
Top Kick" and his buddy had as long a
"mush" record as any one clso when
their uniforms drew tho poor little
"flowers." TSOLO OP1TSAH.
Parents Won't Let Them
Dear Cynthia Wo aro two girls of
seventeen and otghteen, and have had
quite a few offers to go out In machines
with fellows that wo are very well
acquainted with, but our parents will
not give their consent.
Now what harm Is there In going out
and having an innocent tlmo? We havo
girl friends who go out In machines nnd
havo a good tlmo while wo havo to stay
homo and entertain our friends.
Speak up, readers, and tell us your
opinions of girls going out in machines.
TWO DLUE-EYED GIRLS.
My dear little girls, your parents aro
qulto right. Olrls would do much bet
ter not to rldo around In cars with
young men nnd no chaperon with them.
It is not that thero Is actual harm in
it, but a going against convention Is
always a. mistake. Tho world has un
fortunately a wicked tongue and It
seldom pays to put oneself in the way
of helping that tongue to wag.
Too Much Paint, Too Few Clothes
Dear Cynthia Wo have only been In
this city for a couple of months, and
during that tlmo havo been following up
tho discussions in your column. Wo
would like to express our opinions in
regard to some of them, especially the
one signed "Two Disgusted Girls."
In tho short time we have been here
wo havo seen quite a number of these
"calcimlno terpslchorean queons" and
we haw romo 'to the conclusion that
their dress and general appearance are
r.snnnRlhlo for tho lack of Irsncct shown
fhm hv h fellows The other ovenlnc
wa chanced to entor one of Philadelphia's
-woll-known danco halls, and from tho
nnnenrnneo or tho natrons mere wo
thousrht wo were In a menagerie. After
getting a close vlow of some of tho girls
irn thinlr if thp.v used moro soan and
water and less paint and powder their
appearance would bo greatly lmprovod.
Their dress Is far from being conserva
tive and modest and they seem to think
we like them belter ror tnai.
Posslblv "Two Disgusted Olrls" arc
members 'of this clan, and that explains
why the fellows they have gone out
with wore always trying to "mush them
up," as they say. Thoro are still some
gentlemen In the world, but they won't
be found frequenting such places or
going with those glrlB.
So if "Two Disgusted Girls" and the
rest of the complaining femalos will
toko our advice, thoy will dress con
servatively and modestly and eliminate
the use of powder and paint; at all times,
by their actions and words, impressing
the fact upon tho men that thoy want
to be shown lespect.

to return my check if they could not
fill order. My check has been cashed
and Is now in tho bank where It was

A READER.
To make a Turkish costume got a
full skirt of some bright color and sew
tho back and front of tho hem togothcr,
making openings In tho two side scams
for tho feet. This makes tho regular
harem skirt. Then moke a full waist
with a round, low neck and short
sleoves and wear a wide girdle with long
ends. Beads of all kinds should be worn
around tho neck and bracelets and rings
nro also part of the costume. The head
dress consists of a wide chiffon veil that

SHE HAD SO MUCH TO DO
THA T SHE COULDN'T FINISH y
4
Or at Least She Thought So Until She Plunged in and Did h
Then Her Troubles
UJ OAN'l1 get it all done, that's all,"
J- declared Corinnc as she thought
over in her chaotic miud tho various
things she hnd to finish before lunch,,
"I could do ono thing, but I just aim-,
ply can't do them all, nnd that means
thnt I'll have to stay homo from tho
party this afternoon and bake that cake
for the bazaar tomorVow,"
"Why, you haven't so much to rW"
soothed her mother. "There's only
thnt hem to sew up In your dress, nnd
yoir said you wanted to wash your
hair "
"I have to wash my hair," broke in
Corinnc, firmly. "If nothing clso gets
done, I've got to do that. I couldn't
go anywhere with this head of hair."
"I could get it nil done," she went on,
"if I folt siiro that thnt Fisher woman
wouldn't coma in this morning. I told
her to come in nny day this week to
sea mo nbout something or other that
Bhe wanted to suggest for tho bazaar.
"Sho hasn't come yet, nnd thcro's
only today nnd tomorrow morning, so 1
suppose she'll come bothering round
hero today, and I don't know her well
enough to ask her to sit out in tbn sun
with mo whilo I dry my hair, or tosit
in my room while I sew up my dress
or to sit in the kitchen "
"Well, go get your hnlr done first,
nnyhow," her mother counseled, "and
maybo she won't come."
COUINNE grumbled; she was sure
things would never turn out right,
but she stnrtcd washing her hair nt nny
rnte.
Her nerves had become so lumpy with
hurrying nnd worrying about whnt
might happen thnt she started nt the
least littlo sound, nptl dropped the
sonp right out of her hand when an
veils the mouth Rnd nose and forms a
sort of turban on tho hend. Beans should
bo strung around this, too, and allowed
to hang down low on each side.
Tho Chinese costume consists of n
straight, boxed Jacket with a straight
collar and long straight trousers. Homo
times thero 1b a full, very long skirt of
tho plain dark material beautifully em
broidered that Chlncso womon wcar
a shawl would mako It and a full short
kimono 'without a nosh. Tho sleeves
aro always long and flaring at tho wrist
and very full. Tho hnlr Is worn
straight back, Bometlmes with fiat coils
over the ears.
This costumo Is really less picturesque
for a masquerade than tho Japanese
costume, which consists of a Kimono nnd
a wide sash, with a liugo bow or
"hump" In tho back. Tho hair is worn
high with this In a high pompadour and
adorned with combs or flowers or some
times both. Bedroom slippers enn b
worn with any of theso costumes. Black
ones would bo best for tho Chinese
dress. Evening slippers of satin could
be worn with tho Turkish costumo It the
bedroom Slippers do not harmonize.
To A. B.
Batho U10 cat frequently In a solu
tion of two tablcspoonfulH of creolln to
a quart of water. This will exterminate
tho lleas.
Get a spray, or else uso a sowlng
mnchlno oil can. and fill It with corroslvo
sublimate, turpentlno or kerosene. Go
over every room which Is infested by
theso pests ovcry day, shooting tho
liquid into every crack and on tho walls
and furniture. Paint the whlto bnsc-
boards and varnish tho dark ones, let
ting tho paint fill in every crack and
drip into any crack botwecn the board
and tho wall. Ceaseless work and
watchfulness Is tho only thing that will
have any effect on theso vermin, but If
you keep at It you can got rid of them.
Keep the house scrupulously clean all
tho time.
