F or h er god housekeeping she pay the price of prem ature old age, and the loss o f beauty and of poise and of much spiritual richness along the way. Why not take life a little easier? Why not put more fun and sweetness into the daily routine and, above all, why not take good care o f the body m achine and keep one’s spirit fresh? There are many ways in which the housew ife can save her strength and reduce the w ear and te a r on her dis position. To sit down, as she peels potatoes or works a t the sink, is one o f these One will stand more— if she stands less. It is easier to walk a mile than to stand in one place for the same length of time. To sit a t work is not a sign of laziness, but ra th e r o f good sense. One will become much more tired walking on a hard cem ent floor than on a wooden one. The floor can be softened with linoleum. Sand, sugar, dry crum bs or anything which crunch es under the feet makes one tired both physically and m entally, for it is a nervous strain. A warped board has the same effect. C orrect posture at one’s work will enable one to come through hard labor much less fatigued than if she had slum ped or stooped at her task. The table, sink, irning board and all working surfaces should be the right height th at the housewife need not stoop nor stretch to work at them. Shoes with broad soles and low, rubber heeis will not tire one as much as tight and high heeled shoes. If one is on her feet a great deal, it is restful to change shoes somewhere along the line. Do not keep yourself always tau t Drop into your favorite rocker; pick up a fresh m agazine; and get a few new thoughts between spasms. Take time to look out the window and en joy the sunset. Sing at your work and regale your soul with pleasant m editations. Life will then be rich, and the body will respond to the m ind’s well being. Thus, with the body in good condition, and the spirit inflated, may one come unwearied to the end of a perfect day. BRAINS AND MEALS THE LIST COCKTAIL DRESSING F or oysters, shrimp, tuna fish or salmon, make a dressing in the fol lowing proportions; Teaspoon vin egar, tablespoon catsup, chili sauce or horse-radish, teaspoon lemon or g rap efru it juice, a fe wdrops of to- basco sauce and a pinch of salt. Put the fish into sherbet glasses, pour the dressing over it and let stand in the ice-box to chill and blend before serving. POLITENESS H en's kilowatt-hour" means in-jlïtl&i ccr: ts * A * sfn “ Kilow att-hour” sounds technical. But see how simple it really is. FOR CHILDREN C ourtesy is as “catching” as pro fanity. Say “excuse m e," “ thank you” and “ if you please" to your child every time there is occasion for it, and you will have no trouble teaching him good m anners. The same is tru e of good gram m ar. We are creatu res of environm ent, and the easiest way to teach a child is by example, to fill the atm osphere w-ith the kind of thing we want him to take on.
