• To store unused woolens, silks an
furs in an attic or clothespress w
serve as an excellent breeding pias
for the moth. It is best that all a
material should bo carefully clean
before storing in order that no motifs
be present.
They may be put up in several dif-
ferent ways with a degree of safety.
Paper bags or pasteboard boxes may
be used for storage of these materials,
but care must be taken to. seal the

to serve as an added precaution,
Clothing free from moths may b
stored in cedar chests or tight woode
boxes which have been painted on th

ethe word "Mother."

A POPULAR STYLE.
USING MAPLE SYRUP.
On days when you are too tired to
fuss with an elaborate dessert, try
this one:
Cover a fresh slice of bread, cut
about an inch thick and two or three
Inches square, with fresh maple
syrap or shaved maple sugar. Serve
with thin cream.
Maple Cream Filling—Cook three-
fourths cupful of maple syrup, and a
tablespoonful of butter, then pour
gradually into the stiffly beaten
whites of two eggs. When mixture is
smooth, add one-half cupful of whip-
ped cream, and a few drops of maple
syrup.
Maple Syrup Cake—Si cup butter,
3 rounding tablespoons sugar, 11
cups maple syrup, 4 tbsp. cream, but-
termilk,
ut
tezmilk, 2 tsp. soda, 2 eggs, 43t cups
flour, 1 tsp, cream of tartar.
Cream the butter. Add the maple
syrup. Put cream in a cup and fill
with buttermilk. Add soda and stir.
Add well -beaten eggs and flour to
which cream of tartar has been added.
Spices, nuts or fruit may be added if
one wishes to change the maple flavor.
Bake in a loaf.
LEARNING FROM OTHERS.
A homemaker without an open mind
Is like a turtle encasing herself in a
hard shell at the mere approach of a
suggestion. Her home may be solid
along structural lines but its progress
Is slow and will not keep apace with
the moving tide of now ideas.
You have met the woman who can-
not accept a new idea from another
person until it has become so incor-
porated in her mind that she is con-
vinced that she thought of it herself.
That friend is defrauding her family,
her friends and herself of the increas-
ed comfort and happiness that greater
progress in the development of her
home might afford,
