Recipes For Varisus Thinea Helpful
to tho Hoitiwifc.
Why Is it that so ur:iy li. nsokeep
crs who see to It 1 tin t their ln.ucs nre
spotlessly clean, with unry a xpeck
of dust or mud, do not appreciate tho
vnluo of clean, fresh air In tho home'
In tho summer, when one Is glad
mough to open tho window, proper ven
tilation is nn easy matter, but wheu
tho cold breezes blow and tho coal
supply Is not unlimited the housewife
seems to think If tho bedroom win
dows aro open for five minutes in the
morning this will supply enough of
tho llfo giving ozono to stock the house
for the day.
To begin at the bedroom, It Is the
idea of most housewives that to turn
tho bed covers back for a few minutes
before the open window will sufficient
ly air tho bed. And so It Is the Idea
of many of us. But tho covers should
bo taken completely off tho bed and
spread over two chairs by tho window
and the mattress turned back. Thcso
should bo aired all morning before
making tho bod. Every window In the
room should ba opened, and, In fact.
ono window should be partly open all
tho time, except when a storm would
drive through.
At night the clothes should not be
allowed to lie In a heap whero they
havo been carelessly thrown, but each
garment should be separated from the
others and hung on a clothes tree near
n window where the night air will
blow on them, which, contrary to pop
ular superstition. Is not Injurious, but
beneficial.
In the kitchen the frequent opening
of the outer door generally lets in suf
ficient fresh air, hut the living room
Is a different matter. The best plan
Is to have tho carpenter mako a two
inch board to fit across tho outer sill
so that when the sash Is closed down
it meets the board. In this way thore
will ho a space between the upper and
lower sash in the middle of tho win
dow, which will permit of sufficient
fresh air entering. If varnished the
same as the other woodwork this will
not mar the appearance of tho window.
To Remodel Last Winter's Frock.
In most wardrobes thero aro frocks
tho materials of which aro up to date,
but the 6tyle a bit passe, which tho
average woman cannot afford to throw
away. Here is an Idea for bringing
such a costume right up to tho min
ute. Granting that you have a chiffon
Panama dress that needs remodeling,
suppose you trim the skirt after the
mnnner of the one illustrated. A band
l'ltETTT L1TTZ.S AFTK1INOON FIIOCE.
of bias satin Is arranged at tho edge
of the skirt and a similar band above
tho knees. Between these points of
vantage are narrow quillings of tho
sntln, with here and there decorative
pump bows of the same material. The
high satin girdle, edged top and bot
tom, with qullllugs, almost covers thu
lower part of the surpllced bodice,
which is trimmed with the plnltlugs.
rovers and chemisette of Irish lace.
Tho sleeves are of tho three materials.
The small seamstress could accom
plish such a rejuvenation In n couple
of days, and with little expense a
smart costume will result.
Course For Luncheon.
As first course for luncheon or din
ner cut rounds of tho fruit across tho
pineapple, leaving on tho rind. Each
is nn inch thick. Put a round on a
dessert plate, icmovo tough heart, fill
spaco with powdered sugar and cut
into equal sections, but allow tho
pleco to remain round.
Each small section is dipped In the
sugar nnd eaten with tho Angers. See
that tho fruit 1 thoroughly chilled.
NEW "CHRISTMAS CAROL."
Not by Charles Dickens, but on In
cipient Parody on His Famous Story.
Uarley was dead to begin with. Ho
was as dend ns a doornail, which must
be going some In tho dead line, us peo
ple havu been using a doornail as a
Rlinlle of death for several centuries.
Hut Smoodgo was alive and kicking.
Smoodge kicked particularly against
Christmas presents. He didn't believe
In Christmas presents. Barley, his old
pnrtner, dead thcso seven years, hndn't
believed In Christmas presents either.
When Smoodge shut up his ware
house and went homo on Christmas
eve he lived In lodgings that had been
Barley's the doornail assumed an ex
pression which he hntl never noted
there before. The hend of that dead
doornail resolved Itself Into tho head
of Barley.
"Hey, Jacob; I thought you were
dead!" cried Smoodge.
"So I am, Ebenezor," replied the vi
talized doornail, "but I've come back
to warn you that you will bo visited
at midnight by three ghosts, one after
the other. So long, Ebl"
Barley's ghost again became a dead
doornail. Smoodgo went to bed and
promptly at midnight was awakened
by an apparition. It was tho first of
the three spirits. It seemed to crawl
out from under his bed. It danced on
the footboard of tho bed.
"I am the Ghost of Christmas Pres
ent Past." said tho spirit.
"You look to me like one of those
slippers my niece gave nie last year,"
said Smoodge.
"You win," said Ibe ghost and van
ished. Presently the second spirit arrived,
doing a merry dance over the wash
stand. "You look to me like another slip
per," said Smoodge.
"I am the Ghost of Christmas Pres
ent Present," said the spirit.
"Ha, I see!" said Smoodge. "You're
one of the slippers my niece Is going
to give me this year."
Whereat Spirit No. 2 smiled and va
moosed. In a jiffy the third of tho promised
spirits came lu. It Jumped upon the
bed and slapped Smoodge in tho face.
"I'm on." said Smoodge; "you're an
other slipper."
"I am the Ghost of Christmas Pres
ent Future," said the spirit sepulchral-
fy.
"Yes, I know," remarked Smoodge.
"My niece will present you and your
mate to me next Christmas. Because
I'm nn old man she never sends mo
anything but slippers. But these ghost
ly visits have taught mo a lesson.
Hereafter I'll be a better man. I'll
give my r.lece a Chantecler hat in
stead of the usual pair of gloves, and
maybe next time she'll give me a silk
topper." T. SAPP.
Fascination of the Thiro Rail.
"You can talk all you want about
tho way some people want to jump off
tall buildings, but tho men who walk
tho elevated tracks can sympathize
with them," said a man tho other day
whose business It Is to work along the
elevated railroad lines nnd see that
everything is In good condition.
"Trackwalkers often havo the same
Impulse to step on tho third rail that
climbers havo to jump. You walk
along and see that shining rod of steel
and watch the sunlight glisten on It.
and then the thought comes to you,
'If I step on that It will kill mo,' nnd
then you wonder how it would feel to
just put your toe on it. Of course a
fellow shakes those ideas off his mind,
but they keep coming back, and 1
have known more than ono man who
has quit his job because ho was afraid
that ho couldn't fight off much longer
the impulse to stand on tho track and
put the other foot on tho third rail,
and when I hear of a trackwalker
being killed by the third rail I won
der if the fasclnution of tho third rail
got the bettor of him." New York
Sun.
