.' The Double Job Many a housewife does not find her f time and energies occupied with homekeeping and ambitlously wishes to do something out side, to supplement the family income. That is very commendable, but she will find ft more difficult and less satisfactcory #han she has anticipated. For the farm housewife, it Is easy. Bhe can always find extra work at her own door, but for the city woman it is different, Almost every job to be obtained is a fulltime job and does not combine well with getting three meals a day, washing dishes, #roning and ridding up a house, not to mention the hundred and one other tasks that fall to the lot of a home- keeper, How shall she manage to perform this double job? "Let her husband share the work with her," someone suggests. First, . you must get the consent. of the hus- hand. Second, event willing, he probably will not be adept at it and 4t will irk both him and her to wit- ness his awkwardness, and possible unhappiness in this. It really is no way to live, except ag a temporary makeshift, to prepare a hasty break- fast before dashing off to work, and 10 come home, tired, to a mess of dirty dishes and beds unmade and the evening meal to get. This is not a satisfacctory home life. No: I am not offering a solution. 1 am merely presenting a problem. Vary Your Type Why dress your hair, year In and year out in the 'same way? Your friends say, "It looks just like you," but that Is because they have never seen you in any other style, and all of us are made of many different per- sonalities, all combined in one, At one time, we may be one kind of per- son, at another stage of life, or In different circcumstunces, another, Wouldn't it freshen and rejuvenateyou, at this glorious spring season, to play ® different role for awhiie. At least, play it on occasions, For example,. you are a demure, modest little thing. Give yourself a treat, and your friends a 'little sur- prise, by dressing a bit brilliantly for once, and see how you and they like it. Comb your hair a different way. wear it plain, if you bave been hav- ng it curled, or curled if you have been having it plain, or show your ears, or make the part somewhere else. (That iz good for the hair any- way). Do npt wear quaint clothes with mod- ern jewelry. Keep the type you are a perfect type, not a mixture. Be either quaint, or modern completely, for the time, not a mongrel, Have one modest, demure outfit; then vary it with one which Is rather showy and glad; one which is elegant and rich; and one which is out-doorsy, of brown with a dash of red or gold, or blue like the sky, or green like the grass and trees. Do not be too willing to "stay put." Ply a*brand new role, on various days and occasions, It will put new pep and life into you; and will stimulate mew interest in you on the part of your friends, and they will admire you for being progressive and adaptable. Mt will indicate that you are up-and- coming, and not a "dead one." Baby Clothes The well wagsed baby will wear n diaper, a flannel band, a knitted shirt with long sleeves, a skirt or not, de- pending on the temperature, a thin cotton dress, a sweater when It is , &cel, or blankets if he ls very young, "and socks when he is a few months eld. All of his clothing will be white and easily. laundered, The old-fashioned, long dresses are passed. Modern ones aré made about fwenty-two inches long and with Jarge arm and neck measurements, so #hat by the time he is six months old Bis dresses are short and fit him per- fectly. When baby begins to creep he needs yempers, His first pair of shoés should be of the soft type with soles of the same material as the rest of fhe shoe. Just one word as to the diaper, I¥ fa no longer folded triangular, bult eblong and pinned at the sides, and ~ algo pinned to the flannel and on each side cf the front.

Conservative Furnishings Gay, loud colors and bizarre cubist futuristic designs are supposed the style in modern furnishings, not 80 in the best homes.

A Good Sleeper If you are a light sleeper and can- not induce that blissful unconscious- ness which "knits up the ravelled sleeve of care," there is something wrong with your habits of living, for Mother Nature inténds us all to have plenty of sleep, That is why she draws down the purple curtains of the night ad makes it deliciously dark and quiet and rest inveigling. If you toss on a restless bed and hear the clock strike every hour, you are sure to be dull and despondent and inefficient the next day, until you get the habit. The conditions which induce sleep are simple and easily attained. They are: a body tired from physical exer- cise, a serene mind and a clear con- science, a light evening meal, and a regular bed time, The Child's Sweet-tooth Children should not be permitted to gorge themselves on candy, but a cer- tain amount of it, eaten as a des- sert, or after other food and not on an empty stomach, is satisfying of a na tural craving. Sugar is a highly con- centrated source of energy and the child of ceaseless activity demands this support for his vitality. If raisins, and other fruits, nuts and chocolate are contained in the candy, they furnish pleasing sources of pro- teins, fats and vitamins, Choose your candy wisely, and eat it in moderation, after meals or in the middle of an afternoon, and it will in- crease your stamina. Pie Crust To make the best ple crust, have all ingredients as cold as possible and handle lightly. To two cups of sift. ed flour add a half teaspoon of salt and a half cup of shortening, With a knife or spatula, cut the shortening in until the mixture looks like meal. Add water, a little at a time, until the dough cleans the bowl of all flour and paste. It should not take more than one-third or one-half cup of cold water, the less the better. Roll the dough ene-eighth of an inch thick on a slightly floured board. Fit loosely on a ple plate. Turn the edge and prick with a fork. This makes en- ough dough for a two-crust ple. Creamed Onions A delicious vegetable dish is cream- ed green onions. Try creaming the tops with the onions. The green im- parts a pleasant color as well as mak- ing the flavor less strong. Picture Making It's rather lonely when you are all by yourself, ien't it, children, especlal- ly it you have read all your picture books through and played all your games? There doesn't seem anything nice to do to amuse you, But I can tell you of a very pleasant pastime that you can play quite alone. Though you'll find it equally good fun another time with yout playmates. Fisureagiiye cap be most en- tranging. First of all get a sheet of cardboard or a plece of thick white paper. It must be nice and clean to make a background for your picture. Then get an old picture book that you are allowed to cut, or perhaps an old comic or fashion book. Cut out lots of figures and trees and houses and ani- mals and then start building your own picture from them. If you decide on an outdoor picture, put in trees and grass, sticking down animals and housés and bits of sky.

Red Cross Blazes New Trail For Scientific Housekeeping With the recent establishment in the Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society of a Visiting House- keepers' Service for the province, there has been taken a second most import- ant step along a pioneering trail lead- ing In the direction of a raised status for housekeeping and home-making in Canada. The first step forward was made in Toronto some five year ago, when a unique service of this kind was Initiated in that city, by the local Red Cross Society, the Housekeeping Centre then established being an ex- periment arousing widespread interest throughout the Dominion and in the United States, where a few similar en- terprises are being tried out. The original Canadian undertaking arose from war experience among philanthropic and sqelal service work- ers generally in the Queen City. Dur- ing the long years when our armies were overseas, thousands of families of soldiers were looked after and visit: od by members of regimental auxiliar- {es or other agencies, in Toronto and elsewhere, It was found by workers at that time that one of the most ur- gent requirements of the social order was the Visiting Trained Housekeep- er who could not only assist, but ad- vise, Giving, giving and again giving, to many of these households was, per- haps, charity in the older sense, but it was also national extravagance for far too few of the women in the asslst- ed families were well instructed in the maintenance of health standards, un- derstood what foods yield the best re- turn in nourishment for given expendi- ture, knew how best to cook for child or adult, how to care for the sick or to wisely conduct the business of a home. Thus there was much discussion re- garding 3 widely felt need for a Trained Housekeeper Service which would meet the demands of the trou- blous days of war, and, in times of peace, could be made available when { illness or tragedy had entered and dis- integrated the household. Funds, how- ever, were lacking for the establish- ment of the necessary training school and centre, so that it was not until several years after the close of the war that the Toronto Red Cross was able to put its theories into practice by starting an experiment which has proven sociologically most valuable. In 1924 this Society grasped at the opportunity presented by the proposed abandonment by the city of the old Beverly Street Nursing Mission which had been conducted for many years in an old roomy house donated for the purpose in earfiér days by Mr. Gold- Win Smith, The use of the Mission building was acquired, the house Airnlghéd, equip- ped for the purpose, and placed under the cdpable management of Mies Lexa Denne, 4 Mousehold Science specialist who opened the Centre in 10% wi half a dozen trainees in attendance. The service subsequently pro has been an unqualified sucgess, times of illness or other canutly sterol it has been given the best type of as- sistance to many hundre®s of Jomes by the provision of trained helpers. keepers' Service that, in the past year, the Toronto Centre has been adopted as a community affair, receiving a sub- stantial grant from the city, an equal amount from the Toronto Red Cross, and a guarantee by the Federation For Community Service to carry all deficits. For it must be understood that this is not a service which as yet can pay its own way, though to-day many of the more prosperous families ask for its help and pay market prices to the Centre for the trained helpers, of whom there tire now over thirty in the field. But the bulk of the clients are still unable to pay adequately for the service provided, which aims at assisting underprivileged and more needy families, irrespective of their ability to meet the full cost of the scientific help extended them. Having in mind the general need which has been so convincingly de- monstrated in the Toronto experi- ment, the Ontario Red Cross has mow initiated a provincial enterprise under the directorship of Miss Margaret Mc- | Cready, who is at the head of the Visiting Trained Housekeepers' De- partment, which aims to bring the ser- vice to all communities applying for it, Already under Miss McCready's di- rection the Hamilton Red Cross is es- tablishing a Housekeeping Service in March, with four trained women pro- vided by the Toronto Centre, and it is anticipated that within the next two months both Brantford and St. Cath- arines will Initiate like services. Province-wide activity along these lines' is visioned by the Red Cross for the near future when Ontario will place herself among forward thinking states in thus attempting on the one hand to supply urgent needs, and on the other to raise the whole status of home making and domestic help to the level of scientific occupations. . ------ nt THE TRUE CLAIM She had fought her own hand long enough in the world to learn that the true claim to love lies not in relation- ship, but in service; that it is more of- ten in the bleak places of-the world than under the shadow of the family tree that one finds those who are truly of one's own household. --Fran- els Gribble. eel "I don't see youwwith Mies Gonne as often as I used to."

Where English Beauties Care for Highland Aristocates West Territories and Yi of the Department of the Interior, has completed the return journey from Baker Lake, at the head of Chester- fleld Inlet, Hudson bay, to Reliance at the east end of Great Slave lake. Dur- ing this trip he patrolled through the Thelon Game Sanctuary. Warden Knox accompanied Mr. W. H. B. Hoare, special investigator of the North West Territories and Yukon Branch, during his seventeen months' examination and patrol of the north- ern musk-ox preserve.which was con- cluded in August last year. Mr. Hoare came to Baker Lake on his way to Chesterfleld to meet the Canadian Arctic patrol ship Beothic on its home- ward voyage. Warden Knox picked up supplies at Baker Lake and in com- pany with an Eskimo bay began the return trip to the sanctuary. In his westward journey, Warden Knox had to face high winds, bliz- zards, bitter cold, and many other hardships, At one time when through accident he was without a pass he became lost but regained the trail and reached his objective. He left Baker Lake early in September, and after a stiff battle with high winds, the The- lon river was reached on the 19th. With "freezeup" expected amy time, Warden Knox and his Eekimo assist ant busied themselves netting fish for dogefeed and otherwise preparing for the cold weather, The work of building ar sled for the continuation of the journey was un- dertaken. Although. the lakes were frozen over on October 6th. It was a month later before the ice was thick enough for travel. On November 27 after a very arduous journey Warden Knox arrived at the cabin at the junc- tion of 'the Thelon and Hanbury rivets. Here, one of the dogs which strayed away from the team during the eastward journey in the summer, was found in good condition. On July 21 he had raced away in pursuit of a herd of caribou and was not seen again. It was expected that he would retffn to the cabin and a supply of food had been left there for him. He was added to the team for the remain- der of the trip. On December 4 the journey to Re- liance was continued but as Warden Knox was without a compass, due to an accident earlier in the trip, he lost his way. The trip across the northern plains he described ae cold, with high winds, mist, and a heavy ground drift every day. He discovered that he had missed the trail when he came to a lake near timberline. However the sight of the spruce trees was a wel- come one as it gaye him and his as- sistant an opportunity to dry out their clothing and sleeping bags which were frozen stiff. Judging that he had gone too far south of Campbell lake, he set his course due west. He later picked up an Indian trail, reached an encamp- ment, and from the natives received directions which brought him safely to Reliance on Décember 26. As his toboggan was worn out he secured another from the Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police at Rellance and continued on to Snowdrift, a Hudson's Bay Company's post at the mouth of the Snowdrift river on Great Slave lake. Here he despatched his letters and reports by dog team to Resolution from which point they were carried by air mail to Edmonton and by rafl to Ottawa.--Natural Resources, ree iti "Which Is Our Home?"

The In- spector unwillingly gave the order to shoot the bear, but when Constable Taggart attempted to get outside he found the doorway of the igloo buried in a drift of hard snow. The three occupants raised a terrific nolsé to frighten the bear away, but instead the bear turned swiftly to the igloo, climbed all over it, and, by the time a hole was made in the ice-lined wall large enough for a man to crawl through, was waiting outside and im- mediately made a savage plunge to get inside. The police were at a dis- advantage because it is the necessary custom of the polar regions to stack firearms outside the sndw-hutg for the reason that, if kept inside, the warm "sweaty" rifle would instantly freeze on sudden exposure to the open air and thereby be rendered useless, In this case the gun in its cover was ~ standing close by the hole made in the wall, and, just as the desperate attack of the bear was beaten back for the moment, Constable Taggart seized the rifle. In a flash, however, the bear struck the rifle from Tag- gart's grasp, and then, as if to frus- trate any further attempt to recover it, stood on it with both forepaws, snarling angrily, with his head thrust through the hole. A second later the bear made another desperate lunge to get at the men but was met with such a vigorous counter attack with sticks and snow knife that he was driven back a pace or two." At that moment Taggart recovered the rifle and drop- ped the bear in the midst of its third wild charge. It was a large animal and was, no doubt, particularly savage through hunger. 3 Contrary to public opinion, Cana- dian police and ¢kplorérs do not re- gard the polar bear as the "great white terror of the north" nor do they, avold the localities where bears most abounds As a matter of fact they are glad to discover bears along a pro- jected route because bears congregate where seals are plentiful and their presence assures travellers of a boun. tiful food supply both for their dogs and themselves. The police and other Government officials in the north al ways conserve wild life and kill bears only when absolutely necessary foy food.
