Time was when guests came by Invitation to Sunday dinner or sup
per. But today they drop in anytime, sure of a welcome, and light
refreshment which may be served at the dining table, from end tables,
coffee table, or anywhere in the house.
This pleasant custom makes quick tidying up the rule of the day.
Early in the morning to put rooms in company order, after family
meals, and again when guests leave. And that's where today's modem
carpet sweeper serves as a convenient helpmate.
Modern in design and action, light weight and easy to use, carpet
sweepers whisk up crumbs, bits of paper and flower petals leaving
rugs and carpets in apple pie order. The woman who finds a modern
carpet sweeper under her Christmas tree is sure to welcome it warmly
as a time saver in keeping rugs bright and new looking.
Child specialists say that children cram in more learning between
the time they learn to walk and the time they go to school than they
possibly can in any amount of time later. And they recommend toys
that teach. The toy carpet sweeper gives a child an opportunity to
imitate mother, and helps establish the good habit of cleanliness
and neatness.
Science Tells Homemakers to Throw
Cold Water on Coffee Complaints

No more zero hours at breakfastl The latest development to solve
ne of the family's weightier problems is a new cold water coffee
infractor that makes completely bitter-free coffee, uniformly good,
op aftef cup. It speeds things up, too, for you extract a full pound
of coffee at any convenient time, then in the meal-time rush you can
prepare any amount of coffee in a moment.
It is all very simply done with this Filtron, a new three-piece
Sass appliance which takes just moments to set-up and use. You fill
e top bowl with cold water, place a pound of your favorite coffee in
the center bowl, and that's all there is to it! About nine hours later
the bottom bowl is filled with approximately 48 ounces of pure coffee
extract "lich stays fresh under normal refrigeration for months. For
a cup ol xull flavored coffee just pour hot water over an ounce of the
extract.
The cold water coffee extractor was created after scientific tests
proved that the bitter elements in the coffee bean are far less soluble
in cold water. Hence, making coffee with cold water brings out only
the good, aromatic coffee flavor.
FiltronizingMs a great help to budgets, too, for you use only as
much coffee as you need when you need it. There are no partly-nlled
pots of stale coffee to throw away. No messy grounds to deal with
every time you make coffee, either, for you only have to contend with
grounds once for each pound of coffee.
Nice idea for a Christmas gift for harried wife, bachelor or
career girl.

TIME FOR PRESENTS . . . Billy and David are all worked op
over the thought of Christmas, and they're tagging their stock
ings to make sure Santa doesn't get their presents mixed up.
They also have found that it's a good Idea to thank him In advance.
rF ALL THE holiday delicacies, none carries more of the old-Ume
traditions nd associations of good eating and festivity than mince pie.
Many writers give credit for its origination to Germany, while others
claim that its beginning is lost in the annals of history.
English literature dating to the 15th century is full of references to
this Christmas favorite, an essential part of Yuletide celebrations in
England.
Old superstitions held that any person refusing to eat mince pie
would be unlucky for the coming yt;' Should he accept the invitation,
and partake of mince pie, he would have the same number of happy
months during the year as the number of houses at which he ate mince
pie.
The oriental character of the spices and flavoring was said to
represent the rich gifts of the wise men to the Christ Child.
HELPING SANTA
When Buying Toys for Children
If you wish your child to get the
most available from this year's
toys, be sure to look for the five
major qualities recommended by
specialists.
Toys to be thoroughly satisfying
for the small fry should have five
major qualities, say specialists at
the. college of home economics,
Cornell.-
First, toys -should be durable to
withstand the rough and tumble of
any one child and his playmates.
Sturdy toys can be repaired and re
painted and passed on for the en
joyment of other youngsters, in or
out of the family.
Toys should be simple and easy to
handle and operate. Simple play
things are more likely to hold In
terest through long child-hours and
less likely to be shelved perma
nently. Toys should be safe to use with
out sharp corners or rough places
or poor paint that might be harmful
to a youngster. And toys should be
washable.
Finally, toys should have what the
specialists call a "do-wlth" quality.
Good old stand-bys such as wagons,
blocks, clay, sand, finger paints,
and the like may fit into the child's
interest of the moment.

The Christmas tree, now almost a
universal symbol, probably came to
America from Germany, although
tradition has it that Christmas trees
originated in Egypt. The palm tree
is supposed to put forth a branch
every month, and a spray of .this
tree, with 12 shoots on It, was used
In Egypt.
German writers mention the tree
bs early as 1605. The German prince
