More than ten million women are carrying on two jobs: a career and h " 6 So any new time-saving food or method of food preparation is eagerly welcomed.

Rice is one of the foods receiv- ing the speed treatment.

Twe Varieties

We have the already-cooked packaged white rice that needs only the addition of boiling water. This rice can be made ready to eat in 13 minutes, and is now an- riched like other cereals. Also. there is a new canned. cooked white rice of good flavor and fla- klness. In this case. just place the can in boiling water and heat for about 10 minutes.

These products cost more than raw white rice by the pound. and the reason they are used is be- cause many pcrsons don't know how easy it is to plain-cook rice. They still think it must be washed in several waters before cooking. then drained and re-steamed afterwards.

Here's a new quick method of preparing flaky rice:

New and Quick

For each 2 persons. measure in- to a saucepan I c. raw white rice. Ir". tsp. salt and 1 c. cold water. Cover closely. Place over high heat until boiling vigorously. Re- duce to a simmer. cook 14 min. longer.

ELLEN'S

by an Island Farmer's Wife '

Again it is night, one of was- ing winter by the calendar. Febru- ary-trosted and fetchlngly sterlit. How they sparkle. these friends of the darkness! And regarding them we wonder: are the other planets earthy? What color crad- les. if any. their lakes and their pools? Are the mountains tower- ing beaps of dark rocks. snow- crowned and hidden in the clouds! Or in part. scarfed winsome with trees? T

And the folks. if any-the wo- men. would they be taken up as were Island farm-wives today with the Saturday's work? Dust- ing floors and stairs. polishing a stove. a mirror, a window: bak- ing loaves and a cake. maybe dressing a chicken to cook for the Sunday dinner.

Do they there have high winds in the chimneys like the wild one of this day to have a bus- band come indoors to remind one: ”Bettah watch dose fi-abs wo- man! Buildings would burn like so much tind-ah in this. Baking? Nevah mind yol baking until dis wind is spent."

Would one of those women of Mars, whose door someone may some day come to in a space ship. of Venus, of Saturn or like spneres, see farmers at work as did we at Alderlea today? A horse and sleigh at the, doors of stables during the spells of cleaning. another taking away and bringing in grist from the mill

Could they see horses in stalls- a young mare bending low a head to nuzzle the palms of the child- ran. to nibble dalntily at the bits of clover offered? Would there be piggerles and sties and wean- lings . . . And indoors when the day was still new. a farmer turn- ing back the leaves of an old calendar soberly adding up a measure of months and days slip- ped away; saying "80 and 31 and 31-that makes . . and then nodding "It's as I suspected. We should move those first ones to the farrowing pens shortly. In a few days now-not more than a week we should have more little pigs. And" with some surprise time has passed so quickly "it won't be too long now before the first calf is due." What Joys and concerns attend the spring in- crease on farms!

The day of the wood-sawing has not yet dawned though we heard it discussed today: "Now that it's clean about" James said "we must get to it; in the event of another snowfall it may be delay- ed until spring."

"Neither losses nor crosses this week!" we smiled to him at sup- per. looking back along its days.

"As it happened, so losses. Ellen, though I wouldn't say we had no crosses" James replied. ”It would be a queer world if there were no worries in it."

But now the night bids us for-

Lovely New Linens Brighten Baby's Crib

By ELEANOR ROSS

Each new arrival should have a new mattress -- no hand-me- downs. if possible. although in a large family such is often the case. as any "youngest" child will remember.

Firm and Buoyant

To provide healthful support for baby's muscular and skeletal structure. the mattress should be properly firm and buoyant. not worn down here and there. but firmly level. -

To make nursery life more pleasant for mother as well as baby. there are new contour crib sheets that can't possibly pull out. no matter how much baby kicks and tumbles about in his bed. And because of the fitted corners, no plnnin or tucking is required. They fit beautifully.

The sheets come In pastels and patterns in bright colors. giving the nursery a gay look.

If He's Allergic to Wool

For the wool-alerglc baby there are soft blankets, buntlngs and sleeping bags produced in a spec- ial fiber. as well as puckered nylon quilts with an all-nylon filling that washes and dries quickly. in flor-

al patterns ss well as solid pas- tels. the nylon quilts retain their shape through much washing.

spring-like Yellow

Maize is a new shade added to the usual pink. white and blue pas- tel color line-up, and appears to be gaining in favor.

One thing we like about the new bedding and bed linen, is that it

cuts down not only on expenaesr and work, but on storage space.I since it is no longer necessa y to. have so many spares while waitingl

for the sheets to dry.

HOUSEHOLD HINT

Snow or rain carried into the

house may turn a floor white in'

spots. When dry. rub the spots lightly with steel wool and de- natured alcohol. Then apply two thinned coats of fresh. white shel- lac. Dry between costs.

One sensible way to brighten aI

softwood floor that is old and worn and not worth refinishing. is to paint it.

It is economical in the long run to use a good quality floor paint or enamel which will stand up. and if the floor is to be subjected to heavy traffic. has three coats.
