There are positive rules about cookini; potatoes and other root vegetables based on tests and comparisons of various methods. For example, potatoes and every other root vegetable should be salted only after cooking, never before. To salt it before or during the cooking process wll’ invariably

make the vegetable tough.

Whether pared or cooked in jackts, potatoes and every other vegetable should be placed only in rapidly boiling water. If dropped In cold or lukewarm water the moisture will be absorbed by the vegetable during- the cooking, spoiling both fiavor and texture. Potatoes should be si.owy and creamy—or '•mealy"—and if perfect potatoes are used they can be cooked

Did You Ever Dream of Paper

White paper seen in a dream, say some of the mystic interpreters, means good news on the way, while colored paper is an omen of treachery work against you.

These same mystics see In a dream of writing paper a warning of cHlaanery wo king against the dreamer. The firs: set of mystics, it will be observed, alts h this signification to colored pa-

Printed paper this second set of mys ies considers to be significant of goo 1 faith when it appears in a dream. De--orated paper they consider to be enblematic of deception.

When Does a House Look Coo! Have yoa ever noticed In going Into your friend’s houses on a very hot summer day how much cooler It seems in one than In another And In a great many cases If yon should look nt the thermonie'-*r you should find nuno in both houses. This is because some women have a faculty for making a house look cool whether It Is or not. And when that is done half the battle is won. How do they do It? Well, in the first place all the heavy .stuffed furniture la covered, and not covered with those deadly pal» linen covers of a decade ago. but with a cool flowered cretonne, gingham or plain green, blue pink chambray. No house could poss'bly look even livable with tbe faded covers that so many folks enshroud their chairs and sofas with in the spring. And no house will look cool and comfortable on a hot day if it Is littered with bric-a-brac and cushions. All such things ate pr'. away in the house that looks cool even on the hottest and most sultry of days. Summer Curtaining Another mistake that people make in getting a house ready for summer Is to take down all the curtains. This Is a relic of the old days when everv housewife felt that she must drape her windows with heavy lace draperies next the glass and velvet overdrapes. as no wonder one wanted to put them away In snmme*. They were ex pensive and one couln’t afford to have hem wear out In the hot sun and dust that will come in when the windows 'pen, they were so hard to do up that one would rather have them put away in a box and know that they were there than have to wash and starch them more than once a year, and they were so heavy, too, that no air could get through them even if one did raise the windows occasionally. And so In the summer most of suffered the long bare windows with the sun beating in unless the blinds were down. le can make a room look livable and cosy with long bare windows. If one must have heavy lace curtains that one doesnt’i want to wash often, use them Ir the winter, but do make little thin ones Just for summer out cheesecloth with herns or even rickrack braid sewed to the edges. They wiil wash and do up a. easily as a dish towel, and when you see how dainty they look yon will very likely prefer them. Bride’s Diary Handy Notebook It's funny what a lot there Is for bride to learn. It seems to me I a picking up something new every time 1 go anywhere to talk to anyone. Yesterday 1 was in town shopping and J met Mary Williams’ mother. asked me to have lunch with her. On the way up to the restaurant we passed a table heaped up with men' stockings. They were really wonderful bargains. I wanted to get some for Jimmie, hut when 1 went to pick them out I realised that I hadn't an idea what size he wore. Mrs. Williams was consulting a little red-cov-ered book tin.' she had taken her bag. When she had finished she told the man to send to her address a halfdozen pairs of tens and another half dozen pairs of elevens. When we had ordered our club sandwiches and coffee I asked about the little book. She told me that she had lost out so often real bargains whin she was shopping that she had made herself a little book that contained the sizes and all the rest of the Information that she might need about all her large family. I wish you might have reen th» book. «o thrilled with it that I bought one myself before I left th" ator-n and last night I mr.de Jlmsie tell me Just what size rlio>-«. not that I wouiJ buy him shoes .of course, but 1 thought I might as well be thorough; stockings. collar, shirt and all the rest of It And I put myself in, too, for one ways forgetting. Mrs. Williams had her family's Hkis and dislikes in her book to use when ordering meals, when selecting Christmas gifts, etc. Such a book really is an asset to any •. and I feel sure that I shall never go In town without mine being stowed iway In my bag re*dy for an emer gency If It cornea.

For and By Business Girls Several years ago a young girl who was a neighbor of mine started to work in a humble capacity for a large corporation. She was merely one of tbe many girls Just out of seshool who were beginning their careers witbouttraining and with no definite line of work to follow. As nearly as I can remember, her first Job consisted of collecting the outgoing mall from the various departments of the house and helping ;o seal and stamp the same—work that most beginners figuratively turn up tb«-'r noses at and consider themselves above performing. Jane. I remember, was extremely proud of being able to urn her own living, and simple as her duties were they held for her an importance that made her perform them in a thorough and painstaking man-

sr.

She used to talk to me a great deal about her position and her desire to become a really success.u) business woman. Inexperienced and young as he was. she realized even the importnee of doing her best on every task hat came to hand in and about her ine of duty. Her first promotion was a great rent and made her more ambitious or success than ever. There were wo or three girls with the firm at that Imr who held responsible positions, it was Jane’s earnest desire and ntions. as she confided to me many es, to occupy one day as Important a position as theirs. Jane moved away and I lost track her for three or four years, although 1 never forgot her dellghtul assurance that she was going to make good” In business In spite of her limitations in the way of edu< ation ami training. I often wondered how was getting on. and was pleased when a chance encounter with her sister the other day gave me news of her. Jane's success has been phenomenal. At first her family was Inclined to laugh at her serious air whenever she talked about her work, but their amusement was dissipated as one promotion succeeded another, and now she is the object of their unbounded adMiration. She is still working for the firm she started in with, and has the best i>osition of any woman in the hoose. According to her sister's account, Jane's success is due to the fact that no matter how insignificant or disagreeable a bit of work was allotted her she took care of It pleasantly, promptly and thoroughly. Her later promotions are due, of course, to her initiative and keen business sense, but her earlier recognition, which Is responsible for her dev'-lopment, v direct result if her willingness well the little tasks that the other girls were Inclined to Ignore oi half-heartedly. After Jane started to work the In charge of the department to which she was assigned found that certain portions of the work that had always been slighted by the girls and which had been the source of a goisl deal of trouble amongst them, were being accomplished with neatness and dispatch, and there was no longer any difficulty about them. •sn’t long before he singled Jane out as tbe one to whom credit was due for the change. Her eagerleam and her willingness to do things cheerfully brought promotion to her in preference to girls who had more experience and served longer with the firm. The girl who continually grumbles about her work and refuses to do this that, and who performs any task outside her routine duties only under protest, is not on the road to success.

Perplexing Problems What -to Eat and Where to Find Enjoyment in the Process What to eat and where to eat is a problem In these days of high prices. Does the great American public eat too much? On all sides now for eome months past ore hears complaints of —after having eaten at such and such a place—leaving hungry'. tba? hunger hurts particularly, but the comtiinalion of high prices and little food drives the diner away. On the othe.’ hand, there is the servant question, which is forcing many people to live at hotel* and restaurants. Some specialists say eat little, otbt rs say eat much: some learned men advise but a light lunch for those who toil, others advise a substantial meai witu a half-hour's rest afterward, while still others say only 10 mouthfuls, chewing each morsel 38 times. However. when the whistle blows or the dinner bell rings or the gong sound* the great American public, old and young, or thin and fat, engage in that great art of “feeding the fare.” When, where and how much, well, that d<--pends upon circumstances such as how close is payday or if one is saving up for a new suit or hat or perhaps on that ticklish question; Is there a cook in the kitchen? Speaking of CJok*. here Is an interesting story: Anybody standing at the ruth*, spot at tbe right moment in tbe b'g Union station In Washington one night might have seen representative Ben Johnson of Kentucky, performing an odd chore, runs a story in the New York Tribune. It wouldn't have looked so fanny if Johnson were not so tall and of such dignified appearance. He stood by the big gate where most of tho passengers are coming from a train and every few moments remarked ,ln a tone of authority, to nobody in par tlcular: ’’Right this way. Handy; I’ll take care of you.” Now, there wasn't anybody named Handy there, you understand, and everybody wondered why a Congressman should be standing there sayluff over and over again. ’’Right this way. Handy; I’ll take care of you.” What sense was there to a man doing such a thing as that? After he bad said It many times. Johnson went away, but in a couple of hours ho was bark again, repenting the same line with the same calm dignity as before. People w-*re puzzled. Yet It was all simple enough. The Johnsons had sent to Kentucky for a cook. They knew her name, but that was all; they didn't even know for sure what train would bring her. But, according to reports, she was a wonderful rook who could play culinary selections on a gas stove Ju«t by ear, producing Southern dishes of rare quality and fragrance. She was too good a cook to lose .and she w;e not accustomed to finding street aA dreises in strange cities. And that was the reason why the dignified Congressman went to all the trains and cried out, every time he saw an able-bodied colored woman: ’’Right this way, Handy; I’ll take care of you.” Girls and women who formerly were employed as domestics during the wsr times sought out other lines, now refuse to return to their old employment. Unlike the American housewife, the French have not yet taken for granted ihe general use of electric and gn* equipment, washing machines, patent kitchen cabinets and all the rest of the labor-savers that give advertisers the courage to print pretty pictures of the young bride in a lace apron getting dinner to the music of a phonograph, while reading a book in the br.eze of an electric fan.

pretty thoroughly, comb It back st..-ight from the face or part it on the side, depending on how you dress your hair, and push in the combs. Idling the hair puff between them to make the wave. Start by pushing in a row of combs straight back from the forehead and ears, hut push the next row forward, and the third row also for ward. The first time your wave may not be so successful, hut after a while you will get the ’'hang" of It and be able to give your hair just the proper shaped wave you want. Dry It Quickly Tie a veil over your head and turn on the electric fan. This dries the hair quickly and makes the wave. 1 .aching the electric lan. fan it your self with a newspaper or large palmleaf fan. or alt in the sun for a few minutes. One cannot go to ted at night very well with combs arranged for a water-wave, hut It Is a handy way of getting a quick wave In the summertime. Another way to do is to use wid“ ribbons or tapes, and tie them around the head, coaxing the hair Into ridges between the rows of ribbons. Often by dampening the hair, pulling it Into p nts on the forehead and tying a single filet around the head for an hour or so, that straight, limp look will he taken away.
