Elie Best Way to Make a Home Happier is to

‘ — Send Mother Away for Two Weeks All by _Herself so That She Can do Just as

There used to be a popular ditty whose refrain war “Everybody Works But r-acne Th summ, . -A ' I Vacation But li;lother.e'' 6' meme son‘ should be’ Everybody Ge“

We realize that the tired business man needs reﬁt and recreation and a change after his year's hard work, and that every pretty six‘! is entitled to her summer vacation and flirtatious, and that it is just the making of adolescent girls and boys to be sent, on to 0Nnl>8- But we Lmume that Mother has had such a luxurious time loaflng around home with nothing on earth to do except to cook and clean and mend and baby-tend and wrestle with the family dispositions and pec- uliarities, that she doesn't need any relax- ation or diversion or a different atmosphere.

Or, if we are broad-minded enough to concede that possibly Mother In-‘Sm be 3 . triﬂe weary of preparing 1095 meals a year. ..not counting the extras, and that she might relish eating something she hadn't cooked herself, that W191“! little noses and oarnms “W6 5°C“- nnding lost caps and schooibooks, locating husband's clean shirt and the tie that goes with it might get. monotonous in the course of time if it had to be done every day, we are still convinced that Mother is so peculiarly’ constituted that she would be perfectly miserable if her routine was broken.

So when we plan Mother's vacation we send her off to the country somewhere with all the children, where she will still have to do all the family chores in addition to running a free hotel for visitors, and where she will have to work ten times as hard as she did at home, because she will lack her kitchen conveniences and there will be no market amund we corner and no delicatessen store to run to when unexpected company El”- rlves.

Or, perhaps, if we are particularly generous and sollcitous about Mother's happiness, we send her oil on a nice trip with all the YOUDEGT chiidrui along with her, and when she returns a perfect wreck from hav- mg to wrestle with getting the baby's formula Prepared in strange nolvels and keeping Bobby rrom falling out of car windozvs and making Mary eat her spinach in restaurants instead of four different Kinds of do‘-Bert, We shake our heads and. say that, after all, change domnit seem to agree with Mother and she is better oi’! at home.

No matter how much we love Mother, nor how anxious we are T0 cherish her, we never give her a real vacation. We never plan anytliins xor her that any real human woman would enjoy. We never think or such a thing as taking Mother completely out oi’ her environment for W0 whole weeks and setting her down in a strange place where she would have nothing to do but to lie abed in the mornuigs and have her break- fast brought to her and spend the remainder of the day in amusing her- self as she liked. We never think of giving her even fourteen days or ublessed ‘ from quarreling children and baibies’ walls and the never- ending cry for M-o-t-h-e-r.

In other words. Mother never gets a real vacation at all, yet she is the one person in the world who most needs it. She has no thirty-110111‘ oveek, no holidays and Sundays off, no “conferences," none or the coin- fng and going and contact with strangers that gives variety and pop to work done in the business world.

It is because domestic labor is so monotonous that so many house- wiv.-. no. .r. M hllllI'l"’S' of frazzled nerves, and are nagging and Deevim snd hard to live with. And the one and only remedy for this is a Vec- ,.....- u..l_' ul Llleau .r'.~Ll‘ul, complaining women away from her home, away from her children, and give her a two weeks’ rest or a two weeks’ whirl, according to her taste, and she would‘ come back thinking her husband. whom she was about to divorce, 3 prince; her children ane-

"From bompromise and thinﬂ

Use all the greens you can get. You can usually buy dandelion greens on the market or, if you live in the country, pluck them, fresh and young, from the fields. spinach and best gneens are usually avail- able for the city folk.

set a. barrel open at both ends over a root of rhubarb to force a growth. Cook the rhubarb simply with sugar. at first; late on in the month, add it to cooked raisins or prunes with sugar and let cook until tender, but not broken.

Use less meat and more fish. You will find the fish much more popular with your family if it comes to the table freed of all unedible portions. Left-over fish may be ser- ved as creamed fish fish cakes (combined with potatoes), timbales souffles, croquettes and salads. Vary the bread. Buttermilk is cheaper than sweet milk. and makes excellen‘ Boston brown bread. There are also good and varied brown breads to be had from our bakeries for those who get tired of always using the same kind- Roman meal bread, soy bean brean. Hovis bread, rye bread, and many others.

CONCERNING LEMONS.

A lemon contains from 5 to 6 tablespoons of Juice.

If you wish to use only a. little Juice don't cut the lemon in halves. make a small incision and squeeze

els instead of brats, and the house she was continually finding fault with a. palace. And she would come back full of new recipes and feel that making a home was the grandest Job on earth.

of course, when the novel idea of having a vacation is broached to Mother she will say she Just simply can't leave the house and the child- ren, and what would become of everything if she went away for a couple of weeks? But she can go. There is always some old aunt or cousin or friend who would pinch-hit for her, or a, trained nurse who would take more scientific care of the children than she does. and when she comes back rested and refreshed she will be so much more agreeable as a com- panion and so much more efficient as a housekeeper that her own family positively will not know her. . Give Mother 0. vacation. t is an investment that will pay loo per eont on the dollar. DORJUPHY DIX.

out the amount you need. The rest of the lemon will then keep better and will not dry up.

When grating lemon rind, why use the whole surface of the grater? one tiny corner will grate the lemon Just as fast, and you don't have so much to wash. Then, if a brush is used in washing that comer. you can have it clean again in a few seconds.

Lemon peel boiled in water a few minutes gives a very pleasant ﬂavor. This water is especially good added to those eggles, muk. leg, buttered cakes. some of the ingredients of which are boiled to- gether before adding the flour and baking powder.

CARPET SWEEPEB.

The carpet sweeper is usually neglected until it begins to give poor service. On examination it may be found there 1.; nothing wrong but that it needs emptying and the brush is full of lint and hair. After the brush has been freed from its tangles, thoroughly clean the bristles with a cloth dip- ped in kerosene. This will keep down the dust when sweeping and preserve the color of the rugs.

THE LAST STBAW

A certain popular footballer had-— as all players have-an off day. when he could do nothing right.

The crowd demonstrated its dis-

The final fell, however, when

he left the ground at the end of the game. A grubby urchin who had been hanging round the players‘ en- trance, sidled up to him and thrust a piece of paper into his hand,

BEAT MAYONNAISE INTO JELIJED SALAD Beating mayonnaise into half- cooled gelatin, before adding the other ingredients, is the modern method of making main-course. Jel- lied salads. When homemaker: first began to use gelatin for salads, they served the dressing separately but, thanks to famous dietitians, they've learned that tho ﬂavor of salad is improved if the combination takes place before the mixture sets. Jellied salads are easy to prepare and. since left-overs may be used in them, are economical, too. For instance. when you have a dish of peas, a few green beans, several olives and a bll‘. of cold salmon or tunailsh in the icebox. combine them in a lemon ﬂavored gelatlne to make a luncheon or Sunday night supper dish. Or add a few fresh fruits to canned left-overs, chill the mixture in a fruit-ﬂavored gelatin and you have party ref. hments.

HAM LUNCHEON RING

Ham luncheon ring is a delicious buﬂet supper or luncheon dish made in a new manner. Here is the recipe:

Dissolve one package of gelatin (lemon flavor) in one cup of boiling water. Add cold water and, two tablespoons lemon Juice, making three-quarters of a cup in all, set in icebox until it begins to thicken, Take out and beat in three-quarters cup of mayonnaise. Then stir in one “"1 One-11811’ cup! of cold, diced him, two tablespoons of minced steen pepper and two tablupoons of minced dul pinkie.
