"I've got the most original Idea,'
confided the little October bride
to her particular chum. "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

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

tremer.dous expense, all thing consid

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

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

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

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.

the biennial sessions be given, will re

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.

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. May I ask
you to repeat some marshmallow

Strain; add one-half pound sifter con
fectioners' sugar and stir over the fire
until it begins to stiffen. Do not boil.
.Remove from the fire and beat with a

flavoring and coloring, if desired. Add
(when the mixture is cool) one un
beaten egg-white and beat until the
mixture Is very light and will almost
hold Its shape. Pour into an oiled
cake pan to the depth of one inch.
The surface should "settle smooth."
Let stand over night. Turn out on a
paper thickly dusted with cornstarch
or a mixture of confectioners' sugar
and cornstarch. Wipe the surface if
there is any trace of oil. Sift thickly
with cornstarch or mixed cornstarch

rolling each piece in cornstarch. Store
in tin boxes.
Portland, Or.. Oct. 29. Kindly give
recipes for pickling the little silver on
ions now in the market. MRS. 8.
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.

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

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

than a formal dinner, at which several
