WOMAN AND HOME
VAST STRIDES MADE IN THE IN
PRovsMENT@ OF HOME GOWNS.

A woman's Views on FarmIng-ms of
BAbyhood A DImouIt Question -
Game for the YounE-TraIned Cooks.
Cleanliness In the Kitchen.
In former years it must be confessed
that. even among the rich, but little Attsn-
ton was paid to house dress. Any gown
not appropriate for the street was con-
sidered quite good enough to be worn at
home-Rn theory which we are
glad to state has become quite obsolete.
The idea that i'll fitting, ugly, or even
slightly soiled gowns should be reserved
for use In the home was a mistaken one,
and 1t is we'll that fashion has prescribed
as definitely as she has for the thorough
r~smedying Of this evil by devising a sys-
TEN Of dress to be worn within the sacred
precincts OF home, which . at once con-
ducive 20 comfort and attractiveness; for
It Is a noteworthy fact that anything ap-
preaching compression or bands about the
waist has been carefully eliminated from
this variety Of attire.
This in itself demonstrates a vast stride
in the direction of progress; for when
fashion has set her seal upon so hygienic
and beautiful a style as that at present at.
fected for house wear, together with all
that she has done recently in the complete
eradication Of bustles and many other OBJ
noKious features of woman's attire, great
things may be expected in uture In this
particular, at least, one point has been
scored in favor Of the hygienic welfare
sf-ths-t ashienably elad-R0man-shs Is
not hampered in the least by the easy fit
and usual light weight of the gown she
wears at home, no matter what ~eKcruciat-
ing agonies she may feel called upon to en-
dure in public.
Moreover, her tea gowns, often beautiful
as dreams, If rightly devised. are frequent
ly preferred by those who surround her in
the home circle to anything else she wears.
They admit Of a wide play OF originality,
and are as graceful and f~anciful as they
are comfortable and healthful.-Jenness

l will now describe a game in which the
mind is brought into play.
First of all the stage coach. The players
seat themselves in a circle. That one of
them who is the best hand at making up a
story is chosen to be driver. II none of the
boys feels equal to the position a grown
person may fill It. Then to each one is
given the name Of something in connection
with a stage coach or the harness-such as
pole whilietree, thorough brace, trace, col
lar, reins, etc. Every player having re
ceiyed a name, the driver takes his stand
where the whole circle is under his eye,
and proceeds to relate a thrilling narrative
Of the adventure OF a coach on a rough
and muddy road in the dead of night,
which should simply be a narrowing rec
ord Of disaster.
Whenever the word pole, whifietree,
collar or reins comes in the players bearing
that name must spring from their seats,
turn completely around and sit down
again. Whenever the word stagecoach
Is mentioned all the players must jump
up, turn around and then exchange seats.
The failure to do this promptly in either
case entails n forfeit, and when the story is
ended the f~orfeits are to be dealt with in
the time honored mRnner.-J. Mcdonald
Oxley in New York Herald.

One of the least crowded and best paid
professions for women is that of a trained
cook, who, in a most becoming cap and
apron, goes out to private houses to pre-
pare company luncheons, company break
fasts and dinners. Some with a taste in
this direction ave still been fearful of
undertaking the work, expecting to en-
danger their social place. but since women
Of good families and well known social
position are venturing to try their luck, to
show their womanly independence and
capabilities for business in all sorts of
ways, graduates of cooking schools are not
afraid to ask for engagements and to e1-
press their willingness to do the work

said: 1t Is very Uncertain. The frienGs

difficult for them to find trusty represent

from the West are too apt to desert their
constituents and yield to the dictation of
the gold ring. The policy OF the gold
ring has always been to get up false issues,
involving sectional questions and personal
considerations, for the purpose Of keeping
out Of view the economic questions relat-

The extraction OF the sixth year molar in
the mouths OF children is Il much disputed
point, but briefly it amount to this: Too
often parents neglect the mouths of chill
dren, believing that new teeth will come
in place of those that are decayed.
The sixth year molar is the first of the
permanent set OF teeth, and where, at the
age of eleven, or before the appearance Of
the twelfth year molar, it is oun so badly
decayed that the pulp must be or is de-
stroyed it is frequently wiser to remove it
land its fellow in the same jaw If that is
decayed), hoping that the erupting twelfth
year molar will then appear further for
ward, and eventually the space be obliter-
ated. Thus the wisdom tooth has plenty
Of space and becomes more useful than
usual.
Where the same condition prevails after
the appearance OF the twelfth year molar
1t is not so easily decided, though in many
cases evon then it is more beneficial to re.
move than to retain the pulpless tooth.-A
Dentist in New York Herald.

The young woman possessed of a money
making talent, who has still no real neces-
sity for earning money, is often troubled
by the question, ITO what extent am l
justified in making use OF this talent in
competition with other young women who
are more needy than II" The question is
really a difficult one to answer. Should II
be said hat no woman ought to enter into
any remunerative occupation unless &C
tually driven TO it, An undesirable elee
mosynary element would be introduced
into the consideration OF a woman's fitness
for a given positiou-the most needy to be
served first.
In time the matter will doubtless adjust
itself. AT present one not ~infrequently

Little need be said about the kitchen,
for every one knows that the principal in.
structions would be embraced in this one
word-cleanliness. 1t is in this room that
the habits of a woman can best be discov-
cred, and where her filthy faults are mani
testify proven. There Is nothing more dis
gushing than the presence of vermin, and
their existence depends chiefly upon the
slothsul habits OF the cook. Powdered
borax has been found very efficient in re-
moving that predominant kitchen pest,
the cockroach. Other sTpedients might
be suggested. but the best Of all can be
found in the virtue of good common soap,
with plenty of hot water.-Dr. John Shipp-
man in Halls Journal.

My mother taught me not to allow my
baby to sleep on one side longer than an
hOur. 1t is very easy TO turn them over
without waking them, and it tends to pro-
long their maps. 1 take a firm hold of the
clothing near the waist and a little below,
and roll the baby gently over. 1t will not
waken the lightest of the little sleepers If
properly done, and then IL is delightful to
see them stretch a little and cuddle down
in the new position, as though approaching

turn themselves they get cramped after
