Well Begun, Is Half Done.
Girls should be taught to be thor
ough in whatever they undertake.
Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll" is an old rule of
more Importance than ever in these
progressive days. Teach a girl to do
one thing we'll and later on she will
find that this one talent will gather
many unto itself. A smattering of
everything is always dangerous, es-
pecially in a girl. To learn less and
to learn it nor thoroughly should be
the rule of her education-NeoO Or
leans Picoyune.
More of Foolish Woman's Folly.
The trouble with most people is
that they spend too much time get
ting ready for an outing. If a woman
is going away on a holiday jaunt she
begins many days before the time set
for her departure to make ready. She
overhauls her wardrobe, and ten to
one buys a new outfit. Then she has
q big trunk dragged down from the
attic, or she borrows al immense
gripsack, and lies awake nights to
think how to pack to the best advan-
tage. She decides upon three or four
changes and a lot of useless traps.
She carries her ineries and her toilet
accessories in full. She puts in her
portfolio and sketch books, and
heaven only knows what else.
Then she fuses v her checks and
her tickets and grows old visibly over
shawl straps and bundles and lunch
boxes. She carries some fruit in a pa
per bag and a pillow in q strap. She
carries a Japanese fan, the latest
magazine and a bottle each of pepper
mint, ginger, camphor and the best of
her a bunch of flowers just before the
train starts and she carries that. And
lastly, she carries an umbrella. a Cos
samer and an extra wrap. Thus &C.
coutered she starts forth ON her jour-
ney to the delectable country with a
heavier pack than Christians sins
upon her shoulders. No wonder the
trip does her no good and she comes
back more shattered than her trunk.
Hints to Save Arm Aches.
A lady recently spilled cream on a
wooden dress. She quickly placed a
piece of absorbent cotton on the
cream, letting it stay a few minutes.
When removed the cream had been
entirely absorbed and not a trace re-
manned ON the dress.
A elothier states that the proper
way TO wash a flannel shirt is to souse
the garment in hot soap water, never
rubbing, and put it repeatedly
through a wringer. The garment
should never be wrung with the
hands and never be put in cold water.
Teach the ''girI" to take off the lids
and close the drafts of the stove as
soon as she is through cooking so as
save carrying in so much coal or
wood. This will appeal TO her more
directly than the thought of saving
the fuel, perhaps.
The elasticity of cane chair bot
toms can be restored by washing the
cane with soap and water until it is
we'll soaked, and then drying thor
oughly in the air, after which they
will become as tight and firm as new,
if none of the canes are broken.
It is a great help to have a kitchen
table covered with a piece of zinc
smoothly rolled over the edges. 1t
saves the time and labor spent in con
tinually securing the table, for it can
be thoroughly cleaned in a few Sec
onds by wiping it with a wet cloth.
The Search for Pretty Wives.
Girls to be successful today, must
have something more than pretty
features. The men who are worth
marrying are looking for something
else than pretty faces, coy-manners or
