Every woman who make, gurim-nta j

she does not already j>o»»e»s our, uud,
if she doe., she regurrls It ns our of
the most necessury piece« of sewing

difficult to nt oneself. When the urw»
are moved to change a pin or a ba»
ting «hlch iM-rdu adjusting, the lit of
the whole garment is changed, und ,
the litter does not know where the
right place I. for the seam or the trim- '
uiing. A drew form or Betty, as It |
Is often called, does away with this
difficulty, but becuime of the expense
of the commercial one. few women lu
the past have felt they could afford
to own one.
Garment making clubs are among
the moat popular of the many organ­
ized by the home demonstration agents
who are «ent out by the United State.

members ure learning easier and bet­
ter «ays of dressmaking. The exten­
sion Workers soon discovered that the
farm woman who attempts to do part
or all of her own sewing—and the ma­
jority of them do—encounters the
most difficulty In fitting the garment,
uud adjusting the trimming. What

Today thousands of these home­
made drew forms are In use in the
rural and small town homes of this
country, in Merrliuuc county, N. H.,

Rice- flour may be used In various
kinds of breads, cake, and cookies, the
United States Department of Agricul­
ture suggests. Because of the lack of
gluten, rice flour alone Is uol suitable
for making bread, but bread of good
texture may he made from mlxrgl
wheat and rice flour. Itlce flour Is also
an excellent substitute for wheat In
waffles and certain kinds of cookies
and cake.
Ries Flour Waffles.
1<4 cups rice flour
1H cup. milk
1 teaspoon wit
» labicepoons melt-
8 teaspoon, baking
ed fat
powder
» eggs
Sift the dry Ingredients together and
add them slowly to the milk, beaten
egg yolks and melted fat. Fold In the
stiffly beaten whites and cook the
waffles In a hot well-greased Iron.
Rice-Flour Coconut Drop Cookies.
1 eggs, well beaten
% cup sugar
1 tablespoon melted
fat
* tablespoona milk
1H cup» rice flour
% tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons baking
powder
1 cup grated coco­
nut
1 teaspoon vanilla
At present four kind, of drex, forms
■ re being used. The first is tlie most
expensive, und Is made with a com-
merr-lul drew form and a lining to tit
■ 11 the line, of the wearer'» figure.
The lining I. adjusted over the drew
form, and stuffing Is put In between
the llulng and the form until the lin­
ing Is tightly filled.
Another variety Is made by stuffing
u tlgbt-tlttlng lining with excelsior
cotton, or some like substance. This
I. not as satisfactory as It might be,
for greut care must be exercised to
give the dies« form the right lines and
It lows Ils »hu|>e more or les. rapidly.
A third method Is Io cover a tight-
fitting llulng. while It Is on Its owuer,
with plaster of ;mrls; this Is allowed
to burden, und the whole Is then care­
fully removed. The lining should have
an opening down the front, stuffing
Is then put In until It Is firm.
Most Satisfactdry Betties.
The most satisfactory home-made
betties, however, are made with
gummed paper.
This variety costs
less than u dollar, und Is suld to give
as good satisfaction as one which
bring« $20 acrow a counter. They
are made by pasting two thicknesses
of gummed manila «ruling paper »n a
tight-fitting undervest while on the
prospective owner's figure. When the
gum liu. dried, the jacket Is removed
by sllttlug down Ike back and front.
These halves ure then put together
again with gumtued paper. The gen­
eral effect Is that of u heavy papier-
mache form. One of the best features
of a home-made belly Is thut It is
an exact duplication of the woman's
own form.

NEW 4-H BIG SISTERS' CLU3
"Mothercraft" Is Basic Idei of Or-
|
ganizatlon Recently Formed in
Massachusetts.
"Motbercraft" is the basic Idea of
the 4-H Illg Sisters' club which has re­
cently been organized In Beverly.
Mass., through the effort of the State
duh leader. Some of these girls who
joined this new club bad already had
"motbercraft" laasoM through the baby
welfare nurse and were able to demon­
strate how to bathe a very young baby.
Home visits were made by the duh
lender to have the real mother unden
stand exactly what the club was for—
to teach the older girls how to care
for the youngest children.
The members brought their “dub
children" to the first meeting of the
health center to be weighed and meas­
ured. One girl had a little brother,
fifteen month, old. another a brother
eighteen months; there «-ere three
younger sisters five years old. and one
girl had twin sisters two and a half
years old that she bad cared for since
their birth. The "hlg sisters” dub In­
cludes a knowledge of washing and
bathing the children, dressing them,
putting n child to l>ed. and suitable en­
tertainment. They are taught how to
keep n record and asked to report
on the games played with their “chil­
dren.” The making of simple Christ­
mas toys is also taught.

While the carrying of lunches Is by
fur the moMt common practice, taking
country and town together, there are
few cases In which It is not dmlrtible >
for the seined to «liure with the home
the responsibility for the noonday
meal. In «otue places the task for the
school may be hardly more than that
of providing clean and safe places for
luncli baskets, where the food will
not be likely to liecotue dirty or
spoiled. In others It may be practi­
cable to provide by one menus or an­
other a hot dish with which to sup­
plement foods brought from home. In
■till others, particularly where large
attendance and many teachers and
other workers make subdivision of
labor a comparatively easy matter. It
may be possible for the school to estab­
lish und maintain luncli rooms.
It Is in the small country school with
only one teacher that the midday meal
presents the most difficult prohlems.
The common custom Is still for the pu­
pils to bring their lunches, but there
is a growing tendency to try the ex-
l-erlment of preparing part of the meal
ut school, and of allowing time for
serving It carefully. If rightly han­
dled, the meal, even under the unusual
difficulties presented In the rural
school, may offer the most favorable
of all opportunities to Inculcate habits
of cleanliness and to teach sanitation
and simple cookery. The situation,
however, requires a tea -jer ot Ingenu­
ity and of enthusiasm for her work.
The simplest of equipments Includes
a large kettle suitable to be used on
the stove thut heats the schoolhouse,
measuring cup and rpoona, paring
knife, mixing spoon, dish pans, and
towels. It will usually be possible for
the boys to make u set of shelves for
the dishes, using box him her if no
other Is available. aDd for the girls to
make curtains or other coverings for
protecting the dishes from dust. The
pupils will, as a rule, be found wil­
ling to bring plates, cups, bowls and
spoons to keep down expenses. A tire­
less cooker Is convenient for meat
■tews, meat and bean soups, cereal
rnushes, and many other dishes that
require long cooking.
The recipes tor the dishes cooked
for luncli may be given to the older
girls Tn school, discussed In class, and
tried at home. The special dish for
the duy, which In winter is usually
hot and in summer cold, cun be pre-
pured and served at noon by the girls
In turn, working In groups, suggest
home i-conorufcs spec!allsts of the Uni­
ted States Department of Agriculture.
It will often lie necessary to serve the
food to the children at their seats, a
practice which Is not especially ob­
jectionable If the schoolhouHe 1» clean
and well ventilated, the desks careful­
ly cleaued before meals, and the bulld-
Ihg thoroughly screened to keep out
files.
