tion should be made of the genius of
home aids. Ever since we toured the

been excited about time many new time-
saving gadgets. Here are some worth-
while gifts for the homemaker:

pins and no clothesline prop are needed
with this new galvaniAed wire clothes,.
line, The four strand wire, on a pul-
ley arrangement, has a spreader which
separates time wires, 'The clothes ,.catt
be fitted into grooves as you move the
wire outward and the spreader holds
them thus until it is polled in again
to a "tripper" starting point.
Handy chopping board: A wide
board for cutting is important but mte
with a hole at one end is handy. As
you place the board of chopped food
over a salad bowl, the hole acts as a
funnel.
Improved paper dishcloths: Easy to
wring out and use again are parch-
ment cloths. The 'paper is perforated
which helps to pick op the little pieces.
hanger for kitchen tools: A wall
rack 'which tan be put oh The wall near
the range is helpful and 'the new ones
are very attractive; When in position,
the rack forms a curve allowing the
tools to hang freely without marring
the wall. it comes 'complete with a
set of tools including an egg turner,
fork, spoon, masher, ladle and spatula.
Useful beater:. Rernember the old
fashioned wire whip? Well, it's on time
market in an improved style. We like
it because you can beat eggs with one
hand' as your gradually add sugar or

'THE SUGGESTION BOX
Mrs. 11. F, says: 1, When storing
summer cottons, pack them unstarclmed
and tunironed. They pack more readily
when rough-dry. Iii addition, they will
be fresh And neat next summer if
starched and ironed just before using.
2, After woolen sweaters have been
thoroughly washed and rinsed twice in
clear water, dip theni in a very, weak
soap solution before drying, The
small amount of soap water replaces
the oil removed from the wool in wash-
ing. The effect is soft, fluffy sweaters,

MISTLETOE DISTINCT
AS YULE DECORATION
,.....
Mistletoe, that distinctive Christmas
green so common in many parts of
America, is usually thought of as
merely good holiday decoration or as
a creator of open season on ladies fair
for otherwise bashful swains.
Mistletoe did not alivays hold this
position in our lilies. The Druids galled
it "all-heal," and thought it held many
miraculous virtues, The Scandinavians
dedicated it to their goddess of love,
Friga. Probably this goddess of -love
is responsible for the, custom of kiss-
ing under the mistletoe.
The power to heal, to protect against
sickness, to perform magic deeds—,
all these and more are the qualities as-
cribed to this plaht in legends, tradi-
tions and even in ancient' histories and
literature.
Mistletoe is a parasite, which infests
branches of various trees of both hard-
wood and conifers, but mainly on hard-
woods. One species is found exclus-
ively, however, on conifers.
Among the Celts and others mistle-
toe which grew_ from the oak was con-
sidered to have peculiar magical vir-
tues not possessed by that from any
other trees. Some even considered it so
I rare as to be only cut with a gold
'knife.
Another old tradition is that the mis-
'tletoe supplied the wood for the holy
cross, as previous to that time it was a
condemned to exist only as a dwarf
'forest tree but after the crucifixion was
!parasite.
1 Mistletoe was taken over into the
'Christian_ tradition in due course and
dedicated to the Christ Child. An old
!rhyme reads:
