Have you ever thought of wrapping paper as a clothes saver? I know a woman who uses it for that purpose, and the idea seems sensible to me. If she happens to have a large piece of wrapping paper she makes an over - the -head apron. Smaller pieces she uses for waistline aprons. She says. that they come in handy when she is working around the sink. Every few weeks she spends anodd half-hour making them, -I have watch- ed her, She has a straight slip -o apron pattern seventy-two inches son and twenty-four inches wide, with a oval hole for the head twenty inche from one end. This pattern she place on the larger pieces and cuts several at one time. These aprons are full length in the front and waistline length in the back. When she ha several cut she stitches ordinary tap across the back edges, `leaving end long enough to come around and ti in the front. The waistline aprons are jus straight pieces. These she folds lengthwise, and scoops the waistline edges a little to make them fit proper- ly. Starting one-fourth inch from the top on the folded edge, she cuts a gradual curve to the upper back edge. Tape and ends finish the waistlines of these aprons too. She can run one of them through' the sewing machine in less than a minute. With ordinary wear a paper apron lasts over a week. You can figure the laundry saving. Rubberized aprons are a great clothes saver too. Now that they' are made in gingham and flower prints they 'look like any other apron. If you want to make your waterproof apron, you will find. table oilcloth a fairly durable substitute for the rub- berized goods. Any plain apron pat- tern will do 'for this purpose. Cut the apron as described far the paper slip-on in the description preceding this one, or use any plain apron .pat- tern. The most satisfactory finish for the edges is binding. You can buy bias lawn binding cut and folded double already to put on. • Tapes on the hem of a house dress serve both as a clothes and tizne sav- er. You know pins have a way of not being where you can put your hand on them when you want to fasten up your skirt for a kneeling -down job such as scrubbing. 1 This tape trick also was handed to me by a woman who makes her own s dresses and does her own work. She cuts pieces of tape three. inches long i and sews snaps to the ends so that each tape can be snapped together to form a loop. By tacking the centre of these tapes to the top o p of the- hem n g n goods,' try: one. Double the material and stitch down the sides and through the centre to make two compartments. Shirr the top the a little and sew tapes to ends and centre. Make each tape ten inches long, and tack ` the to the pocket. Then it' can centre the belt of a dressn be tied to or apron. When you are doing a th work, one of these carry -all• pe house- work, will keep the dustclothwithin -pockets easy reach, to say nothing of affording a handy way of conveying those mis- placed odds and ends from one part of the house to another. There is the problem of kitchen s clothes wearing; out' that we have to s accept., But if you,have an aversion for patches, the across -the -front kind that are an" evidence of too much rub- bing against the sink and table, try s piecing. e .A. young bride I know said she just s could not wear patches, so she pieced e her worn-out frocks. It took longer and required more material, but the t result was good to look at. Her pet piecing idea was a ten -inch panel of contrasting material down the front with rickrack braid. One of her washed-out prints she dipped yellow and gave it a panel of yellow and brown chintz. She said it was prettier than when it was new. You might use the left -over ends from one dress to piece another. IMPROVING FUDGE. Imparting to fudge, either chocolate fudge or vanilla, that rich caramel flavor which is so desirable is just a little trick of preparing the butter. Put into the saucepan the quantity of butter to be used and let it melt over a rather slow fire. Then,watching carefully Test it burn, allow the butter to become a beautiful brown—not too dark, of course, but of about the color of the vanilla caramels sold in candy shops. Then proceed as usual with your fav- orite recipe. You will be delighted with the fine flavor that will be added to your fudge. RUBBER FLOOR MATS. Most of us are familiar with sev- eral various uses for discarded inner tubes. Few know, however, that these discarded relics can be made into floor mats, requiring but a short time and ittle labor. The old tubes are first cut into trips. The strips are then woven or nterlaced with each otherba..s l.et as ion. The end strips are made. double width and turned over. These strips should be cemented in place. A row of brass rivets I round the edges, improves the aap- earance greatly, in addition to mak- ng the mat stronger. on the wrong side of the skirt, she a has a sure and convenient means of 1 fastening the bottom of the skirt to the belt. A tape on either side of the front is plenty to hold the skirt up. At almost any notion counter you can buy the tape with the snaps al- ready on it. These little tape loops come on cards, and are intended to hold the shoulder straps of the under- wear. You will find them convenient for that purpose too. It only takes a few minutes to tack them to the shoulder seam of a dress. A detachable pocket is a handy housekeeping accessory.

The busy little mother of two small boys finds it necessary and wise to bring as much system as possible into everything pertaining to their daily life and upbringing. She has, there- fore, set a day each 'week when she regularly mends their broken toys. This habit, she believes,impresses upon the plastic little minds a degree of responsibility and regard : for the cherished possessions. "Never slip up on the fixing day," she writes. "Keep the damaged toys in a box for that purpose- Carefully show the child how his playthings are repaired and let him help whenever possible. "Unless you have tried this, you have no idea how educational it is and how much interest the child takes in the operations. This method not only saves time, but it teaches the child, by baying to wait for .them, to be more careful of his toys. The fact that he is deprived of them for several days makes his playthings seem like new." THAT ELECTRIC -IRON CORD. When ironing have you not been bothered with the electric cord get- ting in your way? A spiral wire spring such as is used in holding screen doors shut does `away with this. nuisance. A hook is put in the ceiling above the ironing board,, a little to the right of the person ironing. One end of the spring is caught into it; the other end is hooked to the cord. This keeps the cord off' the board and out of the ironer's way, as It does not need to be shoved aside and: it adjusts itself as the iron is moved, Mlnarri'e Linfrnent reseals Cut; 4c, n 1)0G OF II�_ si BY ART1IUE WALLACE, PEACH.

A swarm of bees lodged on the fender of an automobile owned by a Ringtown (Pa.) farmer, after:having followed him for some distance.' Ob- taining a large packing box, the farm,. er smeared the inside with molasses. After waiting some ;time, the queen bee entered the box, "followed by' all the others. The ` box was sealed and the owner left for his heme with his new acquisition. answer to her challenge.She" was urry, I besutif l— n the a and there was Jose.

" You shall have something for your share. Don't fail us! If' you do—" Jose's teeth clicked hollowly behind his lips, and he went through Matco was fifty years old, blo by much drink and long loafing; head was- bald; one leg was inches shorter than the other; his eyes were bleary; but he obe the command as if youth were upon' him. He followed the rolling innkee through the greasy areas of the Chen to the front of the inn, wh under the wide plaster arch, the Eng- lishman sat in a lifeless attitude. The tall gray-haired man turned a thin face toward Mateo and beckoned him to follow. Mateo was willing. Rocca nudged him with an elbow, and Mateo nodded. He had played in many a dark game with the innkeeper, with the thin, vile Jose and the, oily Mendel. The Eng- lishman was a "lunger," fighting for life against consumption; he had pur- chased, so rumor had it, the tumb down hacienda, and was planning live there with his daughter. It was whispered abroad, also, that Marston had been an easy mark in his trading. He would be an easy mark for Rac- ca's scheming. As Mateo went down the street be- hind the stooping Englishman, the little ninos, beginning to appear f play, hailed hila with taunts and nic names, and he dropped his head a slunk on. All his life he had been joke in Andres, the butt of fun an farce for old and young. In all years he could remember, he h never received a kind word or look. Marston halted at the bank an sent' Mateo for the.horses. When h returned with them, he looked up, h blear eyes expanded, and he gaspe a little. On the steps of the bank stood th most beautiful girl he had ever seen In her light: riding habit, the lith strong curves' of her figure: stood out' her hair was brown, bleached•by win and sun -Co a golden tinge in places her eyes were brown, too. Mate caught in them, as they rested upol him, an amused --light; but a kindl one, and he stared steadily. "Mateo!" Marston said sharps "Ride behind!" The' ride through the rolling coun try, across the dry flats, by the pe 'culler earth formation known,as La Santita, to the hacienda was quickly per kit - ere the pantomime that suggests the knife thrusts Jose grinned as he saw the' other's fear, and nodded. "Now go. Remem- ber!" Mateo slid out the back door and around to the street. A few;steps brought him to the bank door, and there Miss Marston was waiting. " She smiled as she swung into the saddle. "Mr. Easton told me that you wouldn't' be of much use in pro- tecting me, but I think you would." Mateo' glanced up furtively at the t0 bank -window, and he saw the keen eyes of the American cashier looking at him noxiously. He was .evidently worried, if she were not. The door opened, and Eason said: "Miss Marston,,I think I had better go with you." She looked back and her eyes were e tender. "I'm safe with Mateo." "I shall ride out to -night, however, an or earlier!" er. he said quietly. a "Do," she answered smilin d Mateo - a and t � watching under his eyebrows, knew that there was love between the ad two, and. he guessed more—perhaps shesdid. not have, the `mone ; perhaps ps y, p apse Eason was to bring it. out: Mateo i9 was nervous. (To be concluded.) e WHEN CANNING'TOMATOES. When canning tomatoes I like to e, cook' the small and imperfect fruit in ; an open' kettle, press the cooked pulp d through a sieve and can after re- ; heating. o This sifted tomato is so handy for, a winter soups, puree: and for making y gelatin salads when fresh salad:ma.- terials become scarce y. Doing the sifting all at one time, instead of a jar at a time. as needed, - saves a lot of work And since all - seeds and fibre are removed, fewer jars are required. ° There Mateo began to gather the information that would serve Jose and incidentally began for the first time to really live. Riding with Miss Marston, down the Quivino road, Mateo listened to her friendly chat, and went through the novel experience of being treated as a man. 'Marston gave him an alitoinatic revolver of high-grade make and taught him how to use it. One afternoon, while dozing in the corner of the ranch -house, he heard Marston say: "I agreed to have the money here to -morrow morning for ,Morales to pay cash for the land. :I'm simply sick, and I'm going ,to send you into the bank to get ' it. - Mateo will go with you. Start back as soon as you can after the heat. I shall worry until I see you, but I don't see any other way to get the money here now. I expected to be stronger before—" Mateo heard her clear, cheery laughter interrupt her father. "Cheer up, pater, old top. You're getting better every day. Mateo and I --will go and get back!" • Mateo was smiling to himself and thinking of the pleasure of the ride, when he was seized with a sudden trembling that ,made him sweat.
