Minim liml been taking a walk. And
now sbe was stopping before tbe mu¬
sic shop in the little town where she
lived.
She was looking at everything in
the shop. It was such an interesting
window.
She always loved to look at it.
Whenever she had time she stopped
and gazed into the window—and some¬
times, when she really hadn't the time
at all she stopped and looked in'.
Although it was late in the after¬
noon and she should be hurrying home,
she stopped now and looked.
There were several lights in the
shop, and she could see everything
distinctly.
A light shone directly on a violin, the
only one left, for Minna knew that the
other four had been bought this year
by three of the older boys and one
older girl, who were taking violin
lessons.
The violin looked rather lonely by
itself. How she wished she could
hear it played!
There was a saxophone in the win¬
dow, too, a radio and a talking ma¬
chine, a music box, ukulele and a
harmonica, and. too, a metronome.
Minna didn’t like a metronome. A
friend of hers was made to practice
with the metronome going all the time.
That was different from Miss Crum¬
ble. She didn’t believe in the met
ronome. It made a pupil too me¬
chanical and without enough sense
of rhythm. Miss Crumble said, and
Minna quite agreed with her.
A metronome so insisted upon every
note being played right on time, and
ing at a pass closet or cabinet to op¬
erate an electric toaster, shown in the
photograph by the United States De¬
partment of Agriculture. A home
demonstration agent in Massachusetts
used this frequently recurring activity
to show farm women how to stand
and how not to stand. She showed
them how they looked when they al¬
lowed their shoulders or hips to slump
forward, and Hie right way to stand
while working at a counter or table.
Various demonstrations of posture
have been given, showing farm women
the right and wrong positions for dish¬
washing, mopping, handling foods in
the oven, sitting to prepare vegetables,
and so on. Any one interested can ap¬
ply this idea to a scrutiny of her own
way of working. It is sometimes pos¬
sible to see oneself in a large mirror
as a particular task is carried on, and
to note improper positions of head,
shoulders, hips, back, or feet.

1 Food for the Family Table §
By NELLIE MAXWELL *
The following recipes, gathered
from here and there are sure to please
the family:
Cheesettes. —Fold in one and one
half cupfuls of grated cheese in the
well-beaten whites of three eggs, add
salt and cayenne and pile on circles of
toast and brown in the oven. These
are nice lo serve with a simple salad.
Rice and Beef Cutlets. —Take one
cupful each of chopped uncooked beef
and rice (cooked), combine will! one
well beaten egg. Make a sauce by
frying one-half tablespoonful of onion
in one tablespoonful of butter and
then add one tablespoonful of flour
and one-half cupful of milk. Simmer
until smooth, add one-half teaspoon
fill of minced parsley, one-half table
spoonful of tomato sauce, one-fourtti
teaspoonful of pepper and one half
teaspoonful of salt. Add this to the
rice and beef mixture and form into
cutlets. Brush with beaten egg, roll
in line crumbs and fry in deep fat
Strawberry Ice Cream. —Crush one
junket tablet and dissolve in a ta¬
blespoonful of cold water. Add one
cupful of sugar to a pint of milk that
lias been warmed to new milk tem¬
perature. Add the dissolved tablet,
stir well, pour into n freezer and
freeze to a mush. Add a half pint
of cream whipped, two cupfuls of
crushed strawberries, and two table
spoonfuls of lemon juice. Mix well
and let stand until well frozen.
Lemon Crumb Pudding. —Four two
cupfuls of milk over two cupfuls of
bread crumbs, add one-fourth of a
teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth cupful
of sugar, one beaten egg, the grated
rind of a lemon, three tablespoonfuls
of the juice of a lemon and one
that wasn’t so easy, but a metronome
never seemed to care whether you
found time difficult or not.
To a metronome everything should
be so dreadfully right.
Some notes, Minna felt, wanted to
go more quickly even if the time of

the music and the metronome did
agree that they shouldn't.
Tlie metronome was so strict.
It always wanted its own way, and
always appeared so satisfied with it¬
self.
To be sure. Miss Crumble wanted
her to keep correct time, but Miss
Crumble wanted her to understand
: and feel rhythm more than anything.
Minna tried to see back in the shop
j where there were many other sheets
of music, more musical instruments,

A dainty canape and easy to serve
is one prepared thus: Prepare very
small cream puffs—just enough for a
mouthful—fill with any prepared mix¬

chopped egg with anchovy.
Molasses Cake. —Take one cupful of
molasses, one-half cupful of sour milk,
one and three-fourths teaspoonfuls of
soda, oiie-third of a cupful of butter,
one egg, two teaspoonfuls of ginger,
one-fourth teaspoon ful of salt, one tea¬

of flour. Mix as usual and hake in a

There weren't many books of exer¬
cises—that was another reason why
the shop was so fascinating.
There were any number of song
books. Minna like to sing songs.
What a wonderful shop this was.
Minna liked it better than any oth¬
er in town.
To be sure, she liked the peanut
man’s little stand, where peanuts
were always being roasted, and pop¬
corn was always popping—ready to
he put into bags with the butter soak¬
ing through the paper.
But the peanut man’s stand couldn’t
possibly be called a shop.
It was quite different. And, cer¬
tainly, if she ever were given her
choice of the two there wouldn’t be a
doubt about choosing this one.
She had lingered and looked long
enough. She must be on her way
now.
But there was something about the
manner in which the lights back in
the shop were blinking and flickering
that kept her there.
It was as though something must be
going to happen. Something exciting,
something surprising, something—
Had some one spoken to her? She
was sure she had just heard a voice,
a squeaky voice.
It wasn’t very loud. Maybe she had
oniy imagined she had heard it. And
then she heard the voice again.
It was quite distinct this time.
To think that some one front this
fascinating shop was noticing her, too!

An Attractive Bathroom
.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
An attractive bathroom is a house¬
keeper’s pride, and the care given it
Is well repaid, not oniy from the sani¬
tary standpoint, but because somehow
its gleaming porcelain and well
shined fixtures, as well as its fresh
dainty linen, reflect tlie standards of
the home. Because it is in constant
daily use by every member of the
family, the bathroom and everything
in it needs going over every day. The
hand-basin and tub must be scoured,
the toilet made scrupulously clean,
nickel or ether metal fixtures wiped
and polished, and tlie floor mopped or
wiped, depending on its condition and
kind. The water pipes and traps

should be frequently examined, too,
for stoppage or leaks, either of which
should receive prompt attention from
a competent plumber.
The regular replacement of soiled
towels and wash rags with clean ones,
and attention to soap dishes, shelves,
and the linen and medicine closets
at frequent times are also very nec¬
essary details of bathroom care.
Fine scourers may he used on all
fixtures, says the bureau of home eco¬
nomics. For porcelain and enameled
iron fixtures, kerosene and whiting
are especially good; the kerosene cuts
the grease and the whiting supplies
the abrasion. Some of the commer¬
cial cleaning preparations used for
enameled and porcelain fixtures are
so gritty that they scratch the sur¬
face and thus make it harder to keep
them clean. Special care should be
taken to select one that will not
displays, that hats are no longer just
hats, rather are they “creations” which
tell of an era in headwear where the
touch of the “milliner born” becomes
absolutely imperative in the scheme of
things.
In the conjuring of modish milli¬
nery, the employment of lace and of
fur unfolds an endless- vista of possi¬
bilities to the designer. From hat to
coat, frock and ensemble, the idea of
enlivening black with touches of
white fur wins appeal. To wear with
a dressy black velvet or broadcloth or
perhaps suede-finished cloth coat or
jacket-suit where white fur appears at j
neck and wrists modistes are creating |
hats of the type of the little ermine
trimmed hat pictured at the top of j
this group to the left. j
The two other fur-touched models in
the illustration employ black broadtail
for tbe toque in the lower left corner,
and leopard skin for the scarf-and-hat
set shown next to it. In the instance
of the black broadcloth snug hat with
its bow and flat cuff of broadtail again
is seen the tendency to match the hat
to the costume. This ensemble theme
is resulting in all sorts of fabrics en¬
tering into the list of hat media, such
as broadcloth, tweed and novelty wool¬
ens. In fact any material used for the
dress or suit is apt to he duplicated
in its accompanying hat. It follows
also, what witli the observance of
complementing the costume with a
matching hat that women who keep
pace with tlie mode, will find it neces¬
sary to buy many more hats than they
have in some other seasons.
Three of the sketches herewith
demonstrated tiiat lace is being as ef¬
fectively worked by milliners as fur.
Lace treatments may be said to be
approached from two different angles,
one is tiie use of insets as shown in
the brimmed hat centered at the top
of tiie picture, also in the sketch to
tlie right; the oSier is the adding of an
ornamental veil, such as gives such a
piquant air to tlie concluding model
in tlie group.
When motifs of cired lace are in¬
set into felt shapes, which they so
frequently are, emphasis is placed on
their being a perfect color match.
These matched lace effects are devel¬
oping into one of the most fascinating
themes offered in millinery fashions
this season.

scratch the enamel. Tubs and bowls
should be scrubbed with a tine scour¬
er or with water containing a little
kerosene, rinsed with clear hot wa¬
ter, and wiped dry.
The stains made by water contain¬
ing an excess of iron may he removed
from porcelain or porcelain-lined tubs
and bowls with oxalic acid solution,
which is a poison and must be en¬
tirely washed off. Tlie overflow pipes
should be flushed, washed witli hot
soapsuds or soda solution and a long
handled brush, and flushed again.
Then the seat, the cover, the chain,
and tlie handle should be washed and
wiped. All cloths and utensils used
in cleaning the bathroom should be
scalded and dried, preferably in the
open air.
Tiled wails and floors are easily
wiped clean with soap and warm wa¬
ter unless the floor is dirty enough
to need a scouring powder. It is a
good plan to use two cloths, a wet
and a dry one, and to clean a small
area at a time, wiping it dry. The
use of too much water may result
ultimately in loosening the cement in
which tiles are laid. If the floor is
covered with iineoleum this treat¬
ment is preferable to mopping.
Tiie photograph, taken by the
United States Department of Agricul¬
ture, shows a bathrom in a farm
home in Montgomery county, Virginia,
installed after a water system had
been put into the house on the ad¬
vice of the extension agent. It is light,
well ventilated, and quite easy to
care for.

its until the poisons from decaying
waste held too long in the system
have begun to affect the child's
health.
Watch your child and at the first
sign of constipation, give him a little
California Fig Syrup. Children love
its rich, fruity taste and it quickly
drives away those distressing ail¬
ments, such as headaches, bad breath,
coated tongue, biliousness, feverish
ness, fretfuiness, etc. It gives them a
hearty appetite, regulates their stom
aeh and bowels and gives tone and
strength to these organs so they con¬
tinue to act normally, of their own
accord. For over fifty years, lead¬
ing physicians have prescribed it for
half-sick, bilious, constipated chil¬
dren. More than 4 million bottles
used a year shows how mothers de¬
pend on it.
Mrs. C. G. Wilcox, 3855% Wolff
St., Denver, Colorado, says: “My son,
Jackie, is a prize winner for health,
now, but we had a lot of trouble with
him before we found his trouble was
constipation and began giving him
California Fig Syrup. It fixed him
up quick, gave him a good appetite,
made him sleep fine and he’s been
gaining in weight right along since
the first few days, taking it.”
To avoid Inferior imitations of
California Fig Syrup, always look for
the word “California” on the carton.
