The American Mother.

1t speaks volumes in favor of the chiv-
airy of American men when one realizes
how well young girls get along who travel
about unattended with seldom any harm
coming to them. Yet it is no less the duty
of parents or guardians to see that their
charges are not permitted the freedom that
causes the foreigner to open his eyes in as
constituent when he sees a girl of 10 receiv-
ing the guests in her mothers house while
that mother looks on and applauds from a
secluded corner, or who sees young people
OF opposite sexes suPping i'll public re,tau-
rants after the thcater, unattended by any
dragon of propriety.
Mothers make II mistake through their
own Willingness to be put in the back
ground as soor as their daughters arrive at
line acquaintance are to be expected
They are proud of their child's accomplish
ments, her brilliancy and her tact, and see
no reason why they should trot along with
the young people every time they stir out
of the house. If the girl is i'll, she finds t,
tender willing nurse in the mother, but
when returning health once more claim :
her the mother retreats again into second
place, perfectly willing that her child
should 90 about with young men alone be-
come engaged if she wishes II, some of the
many who come to the house, yet whom
the mother knows only by name.-Phila

Mrs. Nanderbilt's Cat.

Mrs. Fred Vanderbilt's cat Koko is said
to have cost, counting original price paid

He was born in the palace Of the mikado
and is the most beautiful as well as the
most costly cat in this country. OF unusual
size, he is like maltese cat in color and
intelligence, His mouse co'ored coat is
like heavy satin, so rich and snowy and
sleek.
Every morning he has his bath and is
combed and fed before he is allowed to pre-
sent himself in Mrs. Vanderbilts rose col
ored morning room. His breakfast Of cream
and grilled bones is served in delicate
china bowl and soup plate, very like those
used by children for their oatmeal. One of
Koko's accomplishments il the delicate
way in which he partakes of his meals. lie
never spills drop of cream or touches the
delicate carpet with piece of meat or bone.
Mrs. Vanderbilt laughs and says Koko

good many people. -New York Globe.

Learning to Make Dresses.

One of the best dressmakers of the age is
said to have gotten her education in her
business by dressing dolls. She bought
half dozen dolls and some material and
cut, basted and fitted garment after gar
ment! She studied the reason for every
stitch that was taken and every line that
was drawn. If a side gore needed taking
in, she never touched it until she had stud
led out why it needed it and what effect
would be produced.
Everything with hev had reason, and
this was ndustriously sought until she felt
satisfied that all her work was perfect in
detail. When she was ready to take hold
of dressmaking as "A business, there was no
Hesitation or delay. She had mastered her
profession and was independent in it. That
she made fame and fortune is not to be
wondered at. Any woman who has the pa
thence and perseverance can do this and as
matters now stand, in a much easier way.

The ideal loaf depends on the perfection
of the leavening process. Baking fixes the
air cells, and the quicker that is accom-
plished the better. If dough is placed in
the oven before it is sufficiently 'proofed,"
the bread will be close grained or heavy.
If the temperature of the oven is too low,
then soggy bread results; if overheatcd,
the crust will form too quickly, becoming
hard, thus preventing the escape of water.
The result il an 'underbaked' loaf. The
right temperature and medium sized loavcs
result in such a penetration Of the heat
through the loavcs as to delay the baking
of the crust until the necessary changes
have been made.
TO test the oven. throw on its floor la
blcspoonful of fresh flour. If it takes fire
or burns black quickly, the oven is over
heated and must be allowed to cool. If the
flour remains white after Il few seconds, the
temperature is too low. If the oven is right,
the flour viii! turn n blackish or brownsh
yellow and look slightly scorched.-F. N

Little folks teeth need attention from
thevcry moment when IA tiny hard lump in
baby's mouth proclaims the near advent Of
one of them. The little teeth should be
carefully rubbed twice a day with a soft
rag and lime water until the first year has
passed, when soft brush can be substi-
tuted. Mothers should be on the watch for
the very first evidences of decay, and the
tiuiest speck should be the signal for the
service of dentist. This looking after the
first teeth and having the smallest cavity
filled saves tremendous bills in the future,
as well as establishing stronger and bet
ter constitution through such attention.
The thought of the child's health, if not
pride in its appearance, should prompt all
mothers to the greatest activity in this di-
rection at least-EXchangc.

A Word For the Shopper.

While the professional wits brim over
with such unbridled raillery about the
women who spend much of their time in
shopping there is quite another view Of the
subject, full on one side Of the plainest
prose- and on the other Of simple poetry
and small pathos which should also be rec
ognized. Most shoppers are women of mar
row means, who have to make little
money 20 great way, or who on a great
deal of money have more expected of them
than that money is equal to doing.
The rich woman who steps out of her
carriage and orders what she wants at first
glance, responsible to no one, and with no
ambitions and wishes beyond her means, or
who has the shopkeeper go to her house
with samples Is not what is meant by a
shopper. That luckless woman is obliged to
look and look, and LOOK again, to haul over
piles Of things fruitlessly, and tempted by
this, yet unable to dc without that, to go
home and think it ali over and try again.
If she gets this affair for which her
heart longs, she must go without that
thing which is absolutely needed, and she
is net only shopping for herself, but for all
the requirements of tbs household behind
her, and it is a work of time and patience
on her part as much as on that of the shop
mans, and of more perpleXity. Doubtless
she is sorry to trouble him, but she reasons
that the trouble is a part Of his business,
and If he is unwilling to show his goods he
cannot expect to sell them.
Once in awhile woman is found of such
good generalship as regards deploying the
forces of her purse against those OF her
wants that she goes right to the point ST.
lects her article, pays her money and dis
appears But the ordinary woman has not
that faculty. She cannot fix upon her colors,
shades, materials, prices in the privacy OF
her own house either but needs to be upon
the spot, with the objects about her, where
she can weigh and balance to advantage

Dressing on a Small Allowance.

The girl who wishes to dress well on a
small sum should cultivate the use of her
fingers. She should most certainly be able
to retrim her evening gowns and hats and
make her plain serge skirts and petticoats.
IN winter 1t is very good plan for the eco
nomical dresser TO always wear black
gowns. Make the effects of color in hats,
muffs, blouses for indoor wear, or Jokes of
colored material which can be easily
changed OF removed. Shoes and boots are
an expensive item Of dress and should re-
ceive the best care Bronze shoes are al
ways pretty for evening and can be worn
with almost any gown. For general wear
patent leather is always smart.
Suede gloves are tho most expensive, be
cause they soil so quickly and never look
well after cleaning Dogskin and wash
leather are much more economical If a
girl goes out good deal, the most sensible
and useful evening gown is black silk,
quite plain and slightly trained. For this
three bodices are suggested: One Of drawn,

What Polly Did.

II feel as cross as bearl" said Polly IA
she came in from school.
"Then YOU have II good chance to make
the family happy and grandma smiled.
Your mother has a headache, the baby
wants to be amused and little brother is
fretful. A cross bear will make him cry
and tnen the baby will cry, too, and that
will make your mothers headache worse,
and"-
why, grandma, what do you mean"
interrupted Polly.
"Oh, | haven't finished what | want to
say. That is what IA cross bear will DO but
n good natured bear can make Jamie laugh,
and then perhaps Jamie will make tho
baby laugh, and if your mother hears them
perhaps her head won't ache so badly, and
if she grows better it will surely make papa
smile when he comes home, and if papa
smiles shall be happy too"
"All right" said Polly. You'll see what
good natured bear can do"
She went into the nursery and capered so
comically that Jamie laughed with delight.
Then she took his hand and they danced
back and forth before the baby, sitting in
her high chair, and Jamies laugh was soon
echoed by little May.
Mother heard the happy little voices
through the closed door and said to grand
ma, 1T is better than medicine to hear
those dear children"
That is what / told Polly" replied
grandma.
At the tea table papa said 1T is such a
comfort to find mammals headache is really
better" and he smiled at Polly, while
grandma beamed at both of them as she
poured the tea.

it should be always carefully washed off at

Use of Pen Names.

Time was-and not so many years ago
when many woman writer feared to sign
her own name to her work, no matter how
good it might have been, lest she should
not receive the attention and recognition
that did the writers of the other sex For
that reason they were willing to lose their
identity to n greater or lesser extent and
to be considered in the literary world az
men. George Eliot selected her nom de
plume while she was yet young woman
perhaps She would not have taken the step
had she considered it in later and ripper
years-but George Eliot illustrates the
peculiar phase in the feminine nature. In
some instances there are good and sufficient
reasons why pen names should be used but
generally speaking it is and always has
been a mistake. Besides it is no longer
the fashion, Surely no womanly woman
wants to be considered "A man any moro
than Il manly man wants to be considered
woman.
The only excuse and the only solution OF
the problem as to the first cause" for wom-
ans assuming masculine names in litera-
ture was the fear, first, that under their own
names the work would not have sufficient
financial value, and, secondly, that it would
not be 50 favorably considered by the read
ing public. However this may have been
in years past it is certainly well under
stood in all literary circles today and in ali
countries that a wOman's work will be
quite as literally paid for as "a mans, pro
Vided, of course, it is equally good, and as
to literary recognition, we are rather of the
opinion that the reading world is inclined
to look more favorably and with greater
satisfaction upon the female than upon the
male writer.-Godcy's
