In fashions the touch of black is a recognized addition to .a color scheme, The same is true of em- broidery, Many a centerpiece or scarf that lacks tone may be improv- ed by outlining the color design with blank. This is especially recom- mended on the heavy linen and scrim covers where brilliant hues ap- pear unfinished or need bringing out. However, black outlining is very effective on the ordinary white linen center piece worked in plain white One of these seen recently had a jewel pattern with conventional scrolls done all in white.

The housewife who { does wash her own clothes can make it impossible for the laundress who charges by the dozen to ring in extra expense and yet have fresh linens al- step | ways for wearing and household use: One woman who has made a-study of the - problem eliminates starch from as much of the weliring apparel and household linens as possibie. Seersucker is her greatest standby for summer wear and for housework. Next in preference come crepe, then pongee and foulard silk. This means, of course, the new, soft 'material called pligse, 'in which all sorts of underwear ean - be obtained ready- made. She herself wears seersuck- er drawers, chemises and night- gowns; her husb#nd has undervests, drawers and pajamas, made of it; the youngest boy is kept entirely in white seersucker rompers. All a these garments are easily rinsed out, and: the work on them ends when they are taken off the line and folded away. She has a few ribbed com- binations similar to the gauge under- vests; neither requires any ironing, but the .cdmbinations necessitate an outer combination of nalnsoox to cover the corsets. This piece has to be regularly "done up." Its use is reserved, therefore, for special oc- casions. Seersucker house dresses and pet- ticoats are pretty and serviceable for moriings; for afterhoons, variety is afforded by an embroidered crepe dress, a dark printed lawn of good quality, a little frock of pongee and another of foulard silk and a skirt.of white wa 3. The girl who like to wear a| great deal of white should try this plain galatea, which can be bought for about 16 cents a yard. , She can wash a plain galatea skirt out in her room if necessary and easily iron it herself because it requires no starch. The everlasting quality of -pongee| was recognized by our grandmothers. When it has been washed and wash- ed and made over and remade, it is still possible to dye it and have a new appearing gown of another col-| or. In-household linens there are many small laundry économies. During the summer one of these is the use of paper table napkins, If the head of .the house rebel, let him have one of linen, Japanese napkins can be bought for about a dollar a thous- and, Why wash and iron table linen? There are also piam, little place doilies for use instead of the large tablecloth. Oileloth is dis- liked too much to force it on the children, though it may be labor sav- ing. There might be a rectangular tray at baby's place, if there is one in the family, and the others try not The children usual: ly go to bed before. dinner hour; in consequence one linen cloth lasts us "grown-ups" through the week. Paper towels at the downstairs basin, where the children rush in for "a-lick-and-a-promise" wash, save washing many dozen hand towels, In the bathroom there can be small Turkish bath towels, but none that requires ironing. Each child has his own bar, towel and wash-rag-and is criticised for dirt left on the towel instead of in the water. % - The kitchen table can be padded like an ironing-board, When the bed sheéts come from the line they are folded in four, thoroughly pulled and laid on this table, ~ Other flat ironing is done on top of them. This makes the sheets smooth and gives a surface for ironing table napkins.and handkerchiefs without changing their position.

Those who have no el- ectricity can substitute a gasoline or alcohol iron. The best. feature about all these self-heating irons is that they permit the housewife to sit down at her task.

The annual period of canning and preserving is here, It is an open question what fruits and vegetables can be put up at homie with econo- my. Now that tinned and glassed goods are so cheap and often so ex- cellent many housewives find that they waste both time and money. Pineapples and oranges, for exam- ple, are not worth while, Commer- cial orange marmalades and tinned pineapple are good and 'inexpensive, and considering the cost of 'the fruit, the sugar and jars, and the value of her time, the housewife who contin- ues to preserve pineapples and make orange marmalade is not an econ- omical person. The same is true of many vegetables. On the other hand, certain vegetables connot be pur- chased, well tinned, at a moderate price. The best asparagus, put up | in glass, is expensive in the market; and if a family is fond of asparagus, the housewife will do welkto can it herself in glass jars at a time when it may be obtained at the lowest price. Small lima beans, candied and pre- served cherries, chutneys, chill sauce and. grapefruit are among the more expensive delicacies in the market. These, if used in any quantity, it will] bé profitable. to put up at home. The simplest method of canning fruit is te' bring it to the boiling | point. and then pack it quickly into ! jars that have been standing for f fifty or sixty minutes in boiling wa- ter. Do not use much sugar in cooking the fruit, for this adds to the expense and spoils the flavor. Success in canning depends chiefly upon the perfect sealing of the jars. [If the fruit and the jars have been thoroughly cleaned by boiling and if the jars are sealed so that no air can penetrate, the fruit or vegetables should keep for years. In Jellying, if the jelly remains liquid, do not bail it again with more sugar but try boiling more fruit juice. It is probable that you have | already used too much sugar, and ; the "fruit juice will make the jelly i set.

The figures are interesting, as they are Suggestive of similar relations be- tween wages and living expenses among women. workers generally. Excluding 15 ber cent. of employ- ed women who earn more than $12 a week, they found the average week- ly earnings to be $8.27. The investi- gation established $7.94 a Week as the minimum living wage, and that a majority of employed women earn less than this amount. The inves- tigation was undertaken because, by the constitutional améndwent of 1912, the Legislature has power to enact a minimum wage law. For a minimum wage, the funda- mentals are; the report says: "Good, and sufficient food three times a day A comfortable room with privacy and in a respectable community. Sufficient clothing: Clean clothing. Proper medical attention. Car fare to ride at least going to or from work. Some provision for reecreat- lon and amusements. Some contribu- tion for church and charity. A small allowance for an occasional letter or Some provision for self- { Some allowance for incidentals." The repprt adds: "The fact that a large proportion of adult females are living at home does not settle the question. The Woman wage-eatneér living at home must be fed, housed, clothed, kept in health and otherwise provided for, and it her wage is not sufficient' to furnish, the necessaries of life, some one else must pay the difference." .
