"I'm going to have my bedroom done In turquoise blue silk, white net and sheer machine embroidery. One gets so tired of the eternal pink, pale yellow and sky blue bedrooms and this is a really novel and original idea." But when the little bride came to study Interior effects in the shops and to purchase materials for her stunning new bedroom, she found that her idea was not novel or original at all. Em HOME ECONOMICS OFFERS FRUITFUL FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE FOR WOMEN Ability Demanded of Man Seeking Hand of Daughter, but Girls Not Prepared to Perform Duties of New Home, Says Oregon Clubwoman. BY SARAH A. EVANS, President Oregon federation of Women's Clubs. BEFORE the clubwomen of the country, and perhaps more In our Western States than In the East, there lies a great uncultivated field which sooner or later they must enter, and enter for the purpose of knowl edge the great field of home eco nomics. At the Boston biennial. In 1308, Mrs. Earah Piatt Decker, with her broad horizon and splendid reach into the future, had even her vision dimmed by discouragement, and recommended the discontinuance of the home economics committee of the General Federation. Among the reasons given for this recommendation was "that conditions of living vary to such an extent in different states and regions that what applies to one locality often Is an ele ment of conf ushion when advised in an other. "Household economics," said Mrs. Decker, "is a local question and must be dealt with specifically In order to attain results." Mrs. Decker was both right and wrong in her concept of this subject, for while lt is a local subject it has grown to such momentous proportions since Mrs. Decker made the statement that lt has become National in Its scope. "The high cost of living" is the minor note that walls through every public discussion, and perches on the back of every contemplated enterprise, city, state or National; it is a pall that shuts out much of the joy of living to many. No one cause Is responsible, but when Mrs. Decker threw consterna tion into the ranks of the faithful, a little woman from Indiana. Mrs. Olaf N. Guldlin, took up the challenge, and In four years proved that the lack of knowledge on the part of women was A question for National consideration and was largely responsible for the increasing cost of living as well as much domestic unhappiness and misery. Mrs. Decker was the first to admit her mistake and give Mrs. Guldlin her full meed of credit, saying to her 1t San Francisco In her characteristic way, "You have not only raised a child, but you have brought up twins." Nevertheless local conditions do play a large part in the problem, and unless tha Individual clubs of every state en ter Into this field and cultivate a knowledge of the almost lost art of housekeeping and home economics conditions must grow steadily worse. Mrs. William Fear, chairman of the home eoonomlcs committee of the Ore gon Federation, said in her annual re port: "When I compare the work of the Oregon clubs with those of other states along domestic lines, I am Inclined to share the views of Mrs. Decker when she recommended the discontinuance of that department in the General Federa tion. Not because the work is not needed, but because our women find other lines of work more attractive and alluring. This should not be; and domestic conditions will not improve until we put our shoulders to the wheel and do our part, great or small, as that may be. "Women are now confronted by one of the greatest problems of the day, and one distinctly her own, namely, that of reaching the greatest efficiency in the home at the least expense, and at the same time maintaining a high standard of living. This includes every phase of sanitation and home econom ics, a subject so broad that, try as we may to escape lt, we meet lt at every turn, and it will never be solvnl until we as housekeepers and homemakers solve It. "What is your club doing In your home regarding the handling of milk and bread, the two staples which enter Into the meals of every family? Just so long as you accept insanitary milk and short weight, unwrapped bread that is what will be served you. Then there are the canneries and factories which now do so much of the work once done within the home. Tour su pervision is needed there. Then the fly Is still with us, as is the short weight and measure man. ' Competition is so keen that unless certain standards are maintained you ? 5r x J . ! 4 ' ? 5. y broidery-trimmed bedrooms have been the vogue for a year or more and some of the handsomest guest rooms in large town houses are furnished in this way. Such a bedroom Is illustrated by a photograph taken In a New York house on the upper east side of the park the most exclusive locality in the me tropolis. The windows face the park and though they are high up there is always a view of sky and trees and greensward through the latticed panes, and the sunsets are an Inspiration to the guest who occupies the chamber. So the windows are but thinly veiled with white net, a border of machine em will be served with inferior products placed on the markets at the least pos sible expense to the producer, but at a tremer.dous expense, all thing consid ered, to the consumer. This matter lies directly in the hands of women, as they form the greater percent of the spenders of every man's income, and it is to them we must look for chanced conditions. "To meet this I know of no organ ization doing better and more effective work than the Housewives' League, which makes its special work to up hold the enforcement of laws which affect food supplies, the family health. the cost of living, and to secure further legislation when necessary toward that end. it is the first movement among housewives to organize for the pro tection of the home, than which no part of society is so seriously assailed by business combinations. The house keeper has been the marked victim. and it now seeems the battle has be gun, for as soon as the housekeeper makes an organized resistance nothing can stem the tide if she stands firm. "I would, recommend the organiza tion of leagues throughout the state at once. "We require our young men to qual ify themselves for their life work and demonstrate their ability before we are willing to give our daughters into their keeping; and are we playing a fair game when these same daughters can't begin to run the new home as well as a maid -of -all-work, whom we think we ought to be able to hire for $6 a week with room and board? And right here I would like to recommend that the clubs throughout the state make it their special work to urge that the domestic science course be made com pulsory in our high schools instead of elective as at present." Recently the board of the General Federation'met for its annual confer ence at Niagara Falls, with almost a full membership present. It probably will be the last meeting of the entire board before the biennial convention, which will open in Chicago June 6, 1914. Naturally most of the discussion turned on this coming event, as it is predicted that it will be the most largely attended convention in the his tory of the organization. The 'geographical location of Chi cago, and, being in the heart of club dom, gives color to their expectations. Mrs. S. B. Sneath, ot Ohio, second vice-president, is chairman of the pro gramme committee, and, although the features of the programme are not ready to be given to the public, enough Is known to announce that an extra ordinarily attractive array of talent has been secured. The General Federation Magazine says: 'We are not going to steal any body's thunder by telling about this excellent programme In detail, and, in fact, lt would not be wise to do this so long beforehand, because there will necessarily be a number of changes. and all speakers have not yet been se lecrea. sumce it to say that some of the richest feasts our country af fords are to be spread before us in art, music and literature; the latest word In conservation, both in human life and natural resources will be spoken; likewise in education, philan thropy and civic reform.

I Answers to Correspondents BY LILIAN TINGLE. Seaside, Oct. 27. Will you kindly give directions for canning mushrooms? The variety to be found in this vicin ity has a thick skin on top, which I peel off before cooking, but I have been told that wild mushrooms are not to be peeled before canning. What is 'your advice? Will you give explicit di rections for making pie crust? Are the proprietary "vegetable" fats as good as lard? I have a prejudice against lard and much prefer using something else. Can cream be used?" I enjoyed your European letters so much. INEXPERIENCE. I cannot say that I am exactly an "expert" on canning' mushrooms, as it broidery in eyelet pattern bordering each curtain and -also the short valance. The embroidery on the bed matches the window draperies, stripes of the wide banding being attached to fine white net and the whole bedspread and valance and also the pillow and bol ster cover being laid over palest pink satin. Dresser and table scarfs of net and embroidery also are laid over the pale pink satin. The walls are gray and pink in tone; the velvet rug soft est gray, the Oriental rug pink, ivory and gray-blue. Candle shades of pink silk give a rosy light when the win dow view is shut out. flcials, should such chance to attend the biennial sessions be given, will re ceive many helpful suggestions, for the women of the General Federation, through long years of study . and ob servation, have come to certain con clusions that may well be heeded by those in authority." Two of the most prominent women of the world have proYnised to be there, and both Jane Addams and Ella Flags Young will be on the programme. At the Hood River convention lt was voted to allow the executive board to appoint the delegates to the Chicago convention, as it was difficult so long ahead to determine who could go. The officers requested, at that time, that anyone desiring, or thinking they could go, should send in their names to the president or corresponding sec retary, and already a number have been sent in, but Oregon this year will be entitled to two more delegates than two years ago .. The delegation is not yet full, and If anyone from any part of the state can go, it will be conferring a favor if they will send their names in as early as possible. The president of Oregon regrets to announce that Mrs. Max Hirsch, who. was elected corresponding secretary of the Oregon Federation, has been com pelled to decline on account of her many other duties. Mrs. Hirsch is one of the best-known church women of the state, having served with signal success several years as president of the Portland section. Council of Jew ish Women, and her inability to serve on the state board is a matter of much regret. The constitution gives the hoard the power to fill vacancies in its body, but as the board will not meet before mid Winter, the ex-secretary, Mrs. Dunbar, must legally hold over until her suc cessor can take office. Doulsville clubwomen have secured the appointment of a special tenement house inspector, who enforces the san itary code. For many years the women have had cleaning-up days, and each year it was found that more people took an interest in keeping their yards clean all the time. It was the close relation of dirt to disease that stimulated the successful campaign for an inspector to educate tenement dwellers to an observance of the sanitary regulations. Petitions to the management of the St. Joseph (Mo.) Street Railway Com pany to prohibit smoking on the street cars were referred to the Federation of Women's Clubs, which decided that smoking on the rear of the cars Is not objectionable, but a strict enforcement of the ordinance against spitting is urged. . At the first regular meeting of the Lottage Grove Woman s Club. Sirs. Mary Martin was the leader, early lit erature being the topic of discussion. At the last meeting, October 28. Mrs. Pearl Umphrey was leader. Civic prob lems were taken up and discussed by airs Johnson, Mrs. Aldon and Mrs. Umphrey. An Interesting feature was ine many questions tnat were asked. At the close of the programme Mrs. Ida Caldwell read a most interesting report from the state convention, re cently held at Hood River. has been a good many yCars since I had fljt mstnv irillfihrnnme oo T .......... .1 for immediate use, let alone for can- mug. J. Deiieve (DUt am not quite sure) the Oregon Agricultural College exper iment station has a bulletin on mush rooms. You might write for it. and see. In the meantime, as far as my experi ence sro.s T think flint , . r. , .

England used to do them; and her "bot tled mushrooms" were excellent), the stalks being cut off pretty close to the "button." Only "button" or young firm, well-rounded mushrooms are sterilized glass cans, fill up with their own liquor, helped out with hot, slight ly salted water if necessary to fill the cans to overflowing. The cans are then given the usual wash-boiler treatment (with the caps loosely on the cans) for half an hour. Screw down the caps and cocl. "Intermittent sterilization" is the best canning method for most vegetables; so next day the cans must be again packed in the "canner," steamer or wash boiler and (without removing the covers) should be steamed or simmered one hour. Give a similar treatment- on the third day, and the mushrooms should keep well. This, you will notice, is the "general method" for vegetable canning so fre quently given in this column. The time varies a little with the kind and age of vegetable used, but the general principle holds good: As to whether the fats you name are as good for pastry as lurd, the an swer is, "It all depends." Personal taste and personal digestion are both factors. If you dislike lard there is no need for you to use It. You can make excellent pastry with either fat you name, especially the latter. Remember, however, that, as these fats contain a lower proportion of water than lard does, the amount need ed for shortening to the same degree of richness the same amount of flour will be less with the vegetable fats than with lard. A very small amount cf butter is useful (where strictest economy is not necessary) in improv ing the flavor of the pastry. Success in pastry-making is at least as much a matter of "knack" and skill In manipulation of the rolling-pin as it is of proportions and ingredients. Mere directions don't help much. You should get a skilled friend to show you "just how." In the meantime don't attempt "rolled crust," but try the more quickly made and easily digested "short crust." Short crust For every cup of flour allow two to three level tablespoons of vegetable fat or three to- four level tablespoons lard, according to the de sired richness of crust. Allow also four level teaspoons salt and half level tea spoon baking powder to each cup flour Work the shortening into the flour with the finger tips or, better, ' with a spatula-knife, until the mixture is light and looks like bread crumbs, Work lightly and do not so soften the fat that you have a putty-like mass Instead of a "bread-crumby" one. Mix to a stiff paste with as little cold wa ter as possible, using a knife to mix (so that yorr can cut and "feel" the tex ture) and making a "well" in the center so that you can mix gradually and quickly without either "drowning the miller" or kneading all . the lightness out of the paste. Leave the mixing bowl clean. Toss the ball of dough out on a lightly floured board. Let it get a very thin film of flour on all sides (use as little flour as possible), then roll out at once to the desired thin ness and line your pie plate. In roll ing, work so lightly that you do not break the film of flour. Do not press so hard that the pastry sticks to the board. Sticking always spoils the tex ture and is usually caused by "too much zeal" in bearing down hard on the rolling-pin, as if force were neces sary to secure thinness. Use "tact and a ight hand" In making pie crust- The same rule is a good one for managing a husband, father or brother. Try this, and when you report success in short crust, I'll continue the lesson in regard to rolled pastry. Cream pastry is excellent. Make it as above, only use one to one and one- half tablespoons shortening (according to the kind used and the thickness of the cream) and use cream in place of water for mixing. If very thick cream is used the shortening may be omitted altogether, the salt and baking pow der being mixed with the flour. This thick cream crust" is a. very quick and usually digestible form of pastry, but is attainable for few of us city dwell ers. Thank you lor liking my letters from Europe. La Grande, Or., Oct. 27.

The following Is a German recipe: Pickled Onions Use the onions as soon as possible after they are har vested, in order to secure the best tex. ture. Soak them in salt and water over night. Remove the peel until the onions look clear, being careful not to cut the bulbs. Put them In jars with cold white wine vinegar with (to each quart of vinegar) one teaspoon grated horseradish, one and one-half tea spoons, white peppercorns, two Inches stick-ginger, and a sprig of tarragon, if available. Cover closely. Three days later pour the vinegar off and boil it. Pour it hot over the onions and seal when cold. Pickled Onions No. 2 Remove the first skin of the onions' with your fin gers and the second with a silver knife if you have the patience. The object is to preserve the shape and color of the onions. Pack them in dry bottles and cover with cold white vinegar with two teaspoons salt, one tablespoon sugar, one teaspoon pepper corns, one-half teaspoon allspice to every quart of vinegar, or use two to four tablespoons mixed "pickling spices" to one quart vinegar in place of the simpler spices. Cover at once. Pickled onions No. 3 Peel the onions and throw them as soon as peeled into brine "strong enough to bear an egg." Leave overnight- Drain and dry be tween cloths. Pack into cans and cover with boiling white wine vinegar, using one inch ginger, one ounce pep percorns, one-half teaspoon mustard seed to the quart. Some makers used a small quantity of mace as well and one-quarter teaspoon celery seed gives a flavor liked by many, though it tends to darken the pickle. ' White wine vinegar gives the best colored and crispest pickle. Where a softer pickle is liked the onions are sometimes boiled a few minutes in salt and water before being drained and covered with the boiling spiced vinegar.

THE little bride coming' from a provincial town to take up her married life in an exclusive com munity or in the whorl of city ex istence is often sadly puzzled as to what is required of her in a social way. Customs are so different in this new and rather appalling society which she has entered. The standards of her home town seem away behind the times and she is fearful of making some mistake which will betray her Ignorance and reflect on her training. Entertaining is much more Informal than it was ten years even Ave years ago. The new dances, with their romping informality, have set a new pace which makes the old stiff, formal teas, balls and dinners seem unbeara bly tedious and tiresome in recollec tion. Everything ends with a dance now and the sensuous wailing of the violin, has been replaced with lively drum and banjo in combination with the piano. The easiest way for the young hos tess to entertain those who have en tertained her is by means of a theater supper. This method Is rather ex pensive, but it is no more expensive than a formal dinner, at which several servitors will be required, and not nearly as expensive as a large dance. The .supper after the nlay may be a Jolly, informal affair in the hostess dining-room and if one of the guests is a pianist and good-natured danc ing may end up the evening. The llnner-3ance is more trouble some, but a delightful way to enter tain. Small tables are set In dining room and halls under hired plants. Walters are engaged from a caterer and the guests are seated at the cosy little tables. While the men smoke afterward and the women are upstairs prinking, the rooms may be cleared for dancing. At about 1 o'clock a buffet luncheon of punch and sand wiches may be served. The afternoon bridge is the easiest method of entertaining women friends. One may have a two-table bridge or a ten-table or anything between. In each case punch or lemonade should be Magical Effect of New Face Peeler (Woman's National Journal.)
