—for sociables 
Jell-O makes a most attractive dessert for sociables. It is such 
pretty dish to serve, it makes the occasion festive at once. 
You can prepare Jell-O, even in large quantities, as easily as 
making a cup of tea. And it is always a saving dish, probably 
the most economical dessert you can have, either at home or 
at entertainments. Ask for a Jell-O Recipe Book.

Start a Hope Chest Now 
It Is Always a Good Time to Start One 
A HOPE chest, or as I prefer to call 
it, a “home chest,” is the most 
fascinating possession a girl can own. 
It may be anything from a dry-goods box 
covered with some pretty material to a 
real brass or copper-trimmed cedar chest. 
It is the contents of the chest that spell 
magic to every girlish heart. 
One can not begin too young to fill such 
a chest. From the time a girl can handle 
a needle, she may, if so inclined, begin to 
fashion lovely things for the house of her 
dreams. 
The articles need not be elaborate or 
expensive unless one’s purse and tastes 
so decide; but when one begins young, the 
cost of one or two articles at a time will 
seem slight and so the collection gradually 
grows. There is less temptation for a 
girl to squander money on useless things 
when she is filling her home chest. On 
the contrary she watches for every chance 
to find bargains. For the modest house 
for two, which most of our girls expect 
as a first step, the articles suggested here 
will be found necessary. > 1 
Four pairs of sheets and four pairs of 
pillow slips for common use; one dozen 
hand-towels; one dozen kitchen towels; 
one-half dozen bath towels; one linen 
table cloth; one dozen napkins to match, 
two cotton damask tablecloths; one 
dozen napkins to match; one dozen white 
scarfs; a natural linen scarf, or two; 
several square covers for stands or small 
tables; as many serviceable sofa pillow 
tops as possible; two white bed-spreads; 
a sheet sham; a pair of day pillow slips 
or shams, as one prefers; a pair of fine 
sheets, and pillow slips to match, for the 
guest room; wash cloths; dish cloths; and 
a good supply of neatly hemmed cloths 
for cleaning purposes. 
Use Discretion in Embroidering 
The “everyday” articles should mostly 
be made plain, but the guest room 
“fixin’s” may be adorned elaborately, as 
may any of the things which will not 
receive hard usage or need frequent 
laundering. One or two pairs of em¬ 
broidered pillow slips are nice, but if one 
makes dayslips, or shams, will not be 
needed. A sheet sham is more economical 
than an embroidered sheet for there is 
little wear on the former. The hand 
towels and all “everyday” towels except 
those for china and glassware are better if 
made of terry cloth, or Turkish toweling 
. 1 
'hi 
as it is generally called, for they are v?j, 
easily laundered and very absorbent- 
good qualities It may be obtained 
the yard or already made into towels 
one prefers. For guest towels, get a (;, 
yards of linen huckaback or any matert 
desired; cut the towel the required lengt 
and hemstitch, crochet, or embroider t| 
ends. 
Quilts are not included in my 
because most home chests will not ho 
them, but all country girls may easi 
make up any number of them and shot; 
do so, rs they are better and much cheape 
than “bough ten” comforts. Horn* 
made rugs, so popular now, are also 
good thing to prepare. 
If one crochets, there are table mat!, 
doilies, centerpieces and dozens of othg 
articles one may add to the chest, 
one can never have too many embroiderej 
centerpieces, in sizes ranging from those 
for a bud vase to those which will covet 
table-top. 
Many people add monograms to 
household articles. These increase tl* 
attractiveness if one has time to mah 
them. Try a home chest! Begin non, 
whether you are “only a kid” or whetts 
you are “sweet and twenty” or oldet. 
It is never too late and you have no idq 
liow much pleasure it will mean,-

Furs should not be put near the fire

dries the natural oil out of them as 
causes the leather to crack. When fra
