JUS TA FEW CLOTHES SAVERS.
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 an odd
half-hour making them. I have watch-
ed her. She has a straight slip-on
apron pattern seventy-two inches long
and twenty-four inches wide, with an
oval hole for the head twenty inches
from one end. This pattern she places
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 has
several cut she stitches ordinary tape
across the back edges, leaving ends
long enough to come around and tie
in the front.
The waistline aprons are just
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 for 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 time 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.
This tape trick also was handed to
me by a woman who makes her own
dresses and does her own work. She
cuts pieces of tape three inches long
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 of the hem
on: the wrong side of the skirt, she
has a. sure and convenient means of
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,

goods, try one. Double the material
and stitch down the sides and through
the centre to make two compartments.
Shirr the top a little and sew tapes to
the ends and centre. Make each tape
ten inches long, and tack thecentre
to the pocket. Then it can be tied to
the belt of a dress or apron.
When you are doing up the house-
work, one of these carry -all pockets
will keep the dust cloth within 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
clothes wearing out that we have to
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
piecing.
A young bride I know said she just
could not wear patches, so she pieced
her worn-out frocks. It took longer
and required more material, but the.
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 lett 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 theses
discarded relics can be made into floor;
mats, requiring but a short time ands
little labor,
The old tubes are first cut into,

fashion. The end strips are madel
double width and turned over. These
strips should be cemented in place.
A row of brass rivets, placed
around the edges, improves the ap-
pearance greatly, in addition to mak-
ing the mat stronger.
TOY -FIXING DAY.
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 having 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.

PART I.
The glass was brimming with an
amber liquid, refreshing to th
throat and delightful to the soul;; hi
lips were at the rim when the earth-
quake came; and Mateo woke to be
come conscious of a stiff toe being
driven vigorously against his side.
He gulped the last drop of the
dream -drink, scrambled into a sitting
posture, and looked up into the pin-
head eyes of Racca, the innkeeper.
"Carrambos!" the innkeeper ex-
claimed in a hoarse monotone, and
went on to say in a mixture of Mex-
ican patois and bad Spanish: "Sleep!
You do nothing but sleep! Listen!"
He stopped. "The coughing English-
man, Marston, with the beautiful
daughter is here. He's in a hurry.
He wants a man for .hacienda on .the
Quivino Road. I tell him—you. Watch
out. If there's a chance to rob, watch
for it; let me know, and I will tell
Jose, see? Come!"
Mateo was fifty years old, bloated
by much drink and long loafing; his
head was bald; one. leg was three
inches shorter than the other; and
his eyes were bleary; but he obeyed
the command as if youth were still
upon him.
He followed the rolling innkeeper
through the greasy areas of the kit-
chen to the front of the inn, 'where
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 Mateo with an elbow, and ateo 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; the had pur-
chased, . so rumor had it, the tumble-
down hacienda, and was planning to
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 nines, beginning to appear for
play, hailed him with taunts and nick-
names,
icknames, and he droppedhis head and
slunk on. All his life he had been a
joke in Andres, the butt of fun and
farce for old and young. In all the
years he could remember, he had
never received a kind word or look.
Marston halted at the bank and
sent Mateo for the horses. When he
returned with them, he looked up, his
blear eyes expanded, and he gasped
a little.
On the steps of the bank stood the
most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
In her light riding habit, the lithe,;
strong curves of her figure stood out
her hair was brown, bleached by wind
and sun to a golden tinge in places;
her eyes were brown, too. Mateo
caught in them, as they rested upon
him, an amused light, but a kindly
one, and he stared steadily.
"Mateo!" Marston said sharply.
"Ride behind!"
The ride through the rolling coun-
try across the dry flats, by the pe-
culiar earth formation known as La
Santita, to the hacienda was quickly
made. -
There Mateo began to gather the
information that would serve Joseand
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 automatic,
revolver of high-grade make and'
taught him how to use it.
One afternoon, while dozing in the
corner of the ranch -house, he beard
Marston say:
"I agreed to have the money here
to -morrow morning for Morales to
pay cash for the land. I'm simply,5-
sickamde 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—"i
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 hien sweat. ,
Recce, Jose and the others! It
would mean death :for him if he did
not tell them of the opportunity at
hand; he had been sent out there for
a purpose—to be a spy!
Ffteen minutes later; with his very
soul aquiver -within him, he rode away
o with the girl. Only one thought was
s in his mind; to see Rocca and tell him
what was on foot.
_ She was cheerful and happy. She
looked over as they rode along.
"Mateo, you don't seem very cheer-
ful!"
I "No, Senorita, my life has been one
of sorrow."
'She smiled with amusement at the
gloom in his voice.
"Weren't you ever in love?"
He shook his head.
"Well,. I am," she answered, "in'
love with 'life! I'll race you to the
ridge!"
Mateo's heart
'gloom in
he rode in
answer to her challenge. She was
beautiful—and there was Jose.
In a back room of the inn Mateo ex-
plained to Racca and Jose the girl's
errand in .Andres; and he listened as
Jose, his• lean face hardening with
greed and joy, planned the robbery.
Look you, Mateo! We will ride by
La Santita—in the mesquite! As you
pass I and Mendel will appear. See
that she does not shoot. These north-
ern senoritas are often quick with the
gun. 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
the pantomime that suggests the
knife thrust.
Jose grinned as he saw the other's
fear, and nodded. "Now go. Remem-
ber!"
Mateo slid out the back doer 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-
testing me, but I think you would."
Mateo glanced up furtively at the
bank window, and he saw the keen
eyes of ,the American cashierlooking
at him .anxiously. 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
tender, "I'm safe with Mateo."
"I shall ride out to -night, however,
or earlier!" he said quietly.
"Do," she answered smiling; and
Mateo, watching under his eyebrows,
knew that there was love between the
two, and ,he guessed more -perhaps
she did not have the•money; perhaps
Eason was to bring it out. Mateo
was nervous. •-
(To be concluded,)
WHEN .CANNING TOMATOES.
When canning tomatoes I like to
cook the small' and imperfectfruit in
an open kettle, press the cooked pulp
through a sieve and can after re-
heating.
This sifted tomato is so handy for
winter soups, puree and for making
gelatin salads when fresh salad ma-
terials become scarce.
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.

ORGANIZING THE
CHURCH CHOR
When a new church springs up, one
of the first considerations facing the
congregation is the formatio of a
choir. it is not usually difficult to:
muster together a number of. singers,
providing a good choir is obtained, but.
In order to place the choir on a stable
basis from the outset, some form of
organization is desirable.
The Mowing are' the constitution..
and by-laws adopted by one voluntary
church choir. Incidentally, the choir,
since adopting this form of organiza-
tion, has become a live body within
the church and has, as a result, exert-, '
ed a mighty influence upon the work
of the congregation as a whole. There
may be ideas in it for other choirs.
