All housewives know how hard it is to blue the clothes when using hard water, without the bluing streaking them. I found that a cupful of sweet milk added to the tub of bluing water would always do away with the trouble. Skim milk is all right if not "blinity," When I want to boil anything quick- ly, like cider for apple butter, or sugar water in sugar -making time, I just place a stick across the top of the ves- sel in the centre, and It simply can't boil over.

They were interested, and looped actually thoughtful. They asked what they were to do if things they "had to have" cost more than I had allowed for them; how abort pocket money if "it happened so" they had to do a lot of treating? "Or suppose," said John triumphantly, "prices went up and up and up? Looked like they were going to." I had my answers all ready. Things that cost more than one can pay must be done without; in the natter of treating one must decide how far one can go, and accept only the limited amount of hospitality that one can re- turn; and if the prices go up and up, tastes ant requirements must go down and down. In case of great necessity, exceeding of the budget in one direction must be met by a cor- responding cut in some other.
