Blazing open fires, decorations of autumn- foliage and softly shaded lights, added their wel- come to that of the hostess and the tea, served at quartette tables, was a most sumptorns one. Here Mrs. Jack- s0n was assi.tel by Mrs. Frank Newman, Mrs. Reid, Miss Mildred and Miss Dorothy Newman and Miss Christine Diack. Games, a guessing contest on the guests knowledge of Shakespeare, songs by Miss Mary Smith and Miss Diack, a recitation by Miss Edna Dalley were all enjoyea and this delightful party was brought «to a close by three cheers for the hostess and the hearty singing of "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow." - LJ .

For instance, with one can of Gillett's Lye and five and a half pounds of lard or grease, ten pounds of good hdrd soap can be made. Use one tablespoon Gillett's Lye in gallon of water for cleaning and disinfecting refrigerators, sinks, garbage cans, tiled floors, baths and toilets.

Necéssary as it was to send clothing to the destitute people of Northern Ontarj, it will not do to let our own people, who are our peculiar care, to go without shoes or clothing. Christmas won't happy for anyone with bare feet. That two women motorists picked 4p a poor old woman on Saturday, who had fallen and hurt herself sey- erely on Barl street, where the pave- ment was In a slippery state. Three other younger and stronger women fell in the same place on Saturday or Sunday. Surely the citizens who have to walk to and fro about their business have a right to expect some protection from their representatives in the city douncil. That by a Dominion-wide contribu- tion the I.0.D.E. has raised funds to purchase property with a house "Please build a set of 'menus. for one entire week," writes a reader of this eolumn, "I keep house for two elderly aunts. We cannot afford elaborate and expensive meals, bu: we do want to be well nourished." The following set of menus is heavy enough for a family of wo- men. And I consider these meals | Just about as plain and inexpensive | as one can possibly have and yet be | well nourished. | For Breakfast Every Day in the | Week: Halt an orange per person (oranges contain a high percentage of '"vitamines" -- those minerals which keep : our blood healthy.) {Some kind of cooked cereal. Coft- | fee served with hot milk. An | @gg, prepared in some way, and but. | tered toast. The average person | likes this standard type of break- fast without much variation. Such a breakfast as this gives one a vigor. ous start for the day. Sunday Noon Dinner: Rump Roast of Beef (a four pound roast) with brown gravy; white potatoes pared {and roasted In the meat-pan; On. | ons, either fried, or boiled and creamed. Apple Sauce with Mock Whipped Cream on it (that is, stiff- ly beaten egg-white which is sweet- eged and has a little jelly added to make it stiff.) Sunday Night Supper: Cornmeal Mush with milk and sugar; tea, jel. ly on bread. Monday Noon Lunch: Fried bacon sandwiches, tea, jelly. Monday Night Dinner; Cold left- over Foast of beef, warmed-up brown gravy; mashed white potatoes, 'creamed boiled carrots, hot steamed fruit pudding wit¥ a hard sauce. Tuesday Noon Lunch: Baked beans, tomato catsup, apple sauce, tea. Tue Night Dinner: Left-over scraps of Sunday's roast sliced and warmed-up in its brown gravy; boil- ed white potatoes, boiled parsnips, tapioca pudding. Wednesday Noon Lunch: Baked macaroni-cheese dish, cocoa, Jelly. Wednesday Night Dinner: Ham- burg steak meat balls with brown gravy, boiled white potatoes, cauli- flower or cabbage, apple betty witn hard sauce. = . Thursday Noon Lunch: Baked grapenuts dish, tea, jelly. Thursday Night Dinner: Beef stew (with carrots, onions and white potatoes in it. One pound of lean beet is sufficient for three wc- men.) Cornstarch pudding. Friday Noon Lunch: Griddle cakes served with maple sirup, cocoa, jelly. Friday Night Dinner: Baked cod "steak;' 'white potatoes, either can. ned peas or canned tomatoes, stewed prunes. Saturday Noon Lunch: cheese rice dish, tea, jelly.

The planetary forecast for this day is optimistic, as it relates to employ- |share of a doughnut. Can you send {me these directions?" Answer: I am sorry, but I have no such directions. Perhaps some oth- e; Column Reader has, though, and will be kind enough to send them to me to publish for you? Young Housewife: "'Pleage tell me how to remove stains on two color- ed dresses (which do not run) Caused by sprinkling them and not ironing them." J Answer: The stains are mildew, which is a mold. Strong sunlight will stop the growth of the mold; dampen the mildew stains with lemon Juice and then place them in the sun. Or else cover the mildew spofs with a layer of soap jelly mixed with pul- verized chalk and expose td sunlight. When all other means have failed to take out mildew stains, Javelle wat- er will prove successful (this can be bought at all drug stores. Follow the directions on the bottle.) Mrs'H.: "How does one use chick- en for sandwiches?" Answer: Take oanned, boned {chicken (or fresh roasted chicken) |and chop it very fine. Then add tu {it only just enough bottled Mayon- [naise salad dressing to make a thicx |paste, and spread this paste on but- tered slices of crustless white bread. [Ham sandwiches are made in the same way. ' Housekeeper: "Can you tell me how. to get oflcloth paper off my | kitchen walls?" Answer:: Ate you sure the paper {has a real waterproof finish, like oil- cioth? If so, the ordinary method -of saturating the peper with a thin flour-and water paste to soften it so that it peels off easily, will not do. -|The only thing left to do is to scrape It off with a gharp-edged tool. $ A Subscriber: "I hire a maid who does all my cooking, waits on the table and keeps the house clean ex- cept the cellar and laundry. I also hire a laundress one day a week, who is able to wash and finish the ironing by the help of the maid in that one! day. Then, too, I hire a furnace man. | I do the upstairs work myself. My family consists of myself, my hus- band and two little giirls. Is it the duty of the laundress, or my mati, to keep the laundry clean? Whose duty is it to keep the cellar clean-- the furnace man's? (I pay him $3 a week, and pay my laundress $3 for, her day.) 8 | Answer: I do not think it is the' maid's duty to help the laumiress; if she cooks, walts, and keeps your house clean (all but the window washing-- and most people hire out- slde cleaners for that) that is al she should dé. But she should keep the laundry clean. Aft $3 a week your furnace man should be willing to clean the cellar. That is good paw. Tomorrow--Your Christmas Party. All Inquiries wddressed to Miss | Kirkman in care of the "Efficient | Housekeeping" department will oe answered in these columns in thel turn. This requires considerable | time, however, owing to the great | tumber received. So #f a personal or quicker reply is desired, a stamped | and self-addressed envelope must be ' enclosed with the Swoncioy--The | ment, business and the accumulation ' of money. There is a sign read as precipitatiing something in the na'- ure of a "windfall" or an unexpected plece of tangible good fortune. It would be well, however, to avoid any rash procedure, and to shun any pos- sibility of litig- tion. The health should receive more than passing consideration, as it may prove a mat- ter of grave concern.
