May Manton Weekly Fashion Talk N' Cookery Hints. I EVEU throw out crumbs or bits of bread. Dry them in a slow oven, then roll them fine and sift through a coarse strainer. Keep them in a glass jar ready to use for croquettes, scalloped dishes, etc. True economy does not consist in going without, but In utilizing what we have In such a way as to obtain the most from it. When frying bacon, put the sliced meat into a colander or sieve and pour boiling water over it. Let it stand in the water just a few sec onds, theu pour cold water through it to regain its crispness. Absorb the water with a cloth and fry in a smoking hot pan. The scalding re moves the superfluous salt which is usually left in the bacon. The fat that is fried out in the cooking is better than lard for frying. As It has no burnt salt in it, it is almost as white and pure as lard. If you do not have ice and wish to keep fresh meat over a day, place on earthen dish and cover it with cloth wrung out of vinegar, covering with a pan to keep from drying out. Set in cool place. This will uot injure meat. Cut slices of bread that have be come stale can be freshened by plac ing them together in a damp cloth. Put the cloth in a paper bag and leave it in the oven for a quarter of an hour. A turnip is quite as good as bacon rind or lard for greasing cake tins . and frying-pans. Use the cut side of the turnip and no odor or taste will result. Proper Shoe for School, Every mother should Btudy her child's foot and buy shoes that will fit it. Watch the barefooted child at play and notice the space the toes re quire when the muscles are free. Forty per cent of high school chil dren have flat-foot: and weak arches and spines are common among school girls of this age simply because the proper care has not been give to dressing their feet. There are several makes of shoes that are specially adapted to the needs of the child. They have wide toes and the heels are built out under the instep so as to form a support for the arch of the foot. It would be well to get this kind next time you buy shoes for your boy or girl. Case for Traveling. I'seful, indeed, for the traveler is one of the writing case3 of colored morocco. Aside from the blotting pad, firmly held in place by the tri angular leather corners, there are four gusseted pockets for stationery, and a stamp pocket. A bone-handled pencil is fitted Into a leather loop holder, and there is an extra loop for a fountain pen. The case is pro vided with a handle so that it is easily carried, and it also has a lock and key. Newark News.

When darning stockings, have two new ones darnine balls in your darning basket, -one black, one white. By using the black ball under white or light hose, and the white one undnr dark hose, the stitches of constrastlng color are more plainly seen and darning is made much easier.
