Women Dress Now For Women.

It used to be said that women dressed to
please men. II so, those days are past.
Now they dress to outvie one another. At
least one cannot but think so, for as a rule
men notice only the ensemble: the details
are absolutely thrown away on them, and
if the only object of women were to attract
men, Il much smaller outlay would suffice.
1t is not only the outward garment that is
splendid and varied, another modern ex.
penSe in the dress of women is the magnifi.
cence of their under linen.
Every article of Il smartly dressed WON.
ans linen is a work of art. The finest linen
and the c~ostliest laces are de rigueur. The
countless pc;ticoats and the perpetual
change of chaussure (every gown having its
shoes and stockings to match) constitute
another item in the list Of necessary arti.
cles, and when one comes to reckon on the
endless toilets of a year, with their indis.
pensable accessories, one sees easily how I'M
possible it is tor any woman smartly dressed
to be so economically.
Women of the highest rank in England
used to consider $500 or e4W a year ample
for pin money and out of that helped Others
less rich than themselves. But that is ridic-
ulously out Of proportion to the sums spent
by any woman who wishes to be we'll
dressed. If married women can afford to
spend double or treble what their mothers
spent, and their husbands are able and will
ing to let them do so, it is injurious only in.

towels and the like. which are not usually
embroidered, the best way is to mark them
with the initials, the number of that
particular set and the year, thus IA. B.,
l2, 1893" This will show you that you
have 12towels, or whatever they are, of that
kind bought in 1893. The object of doing
this is to enable you to see at a glance how
many articles of the same pattern you pos
sess or ought to possess, and when you
bought them. In very large houses the
housekeeper keeps a separate set of bed
linen and towels for each room, in which
case the number of the room should also be
marked on the linen.
10 have anything like an adequate sup
ply of house linen there should be three
pillowcases to each pillow, three pairs of
sheets to each bed and IA towels to each
person, not including bath towels, besides
a few dozen extra fine ones for special oc-
casions. Where fresh napkins are given ut
each meal there should be AZ napkins to
each member of the family, not including
guests, who have not been included in this
enumeration.
The kitchen linen should be of a coarser
quality and kept quite apart, but every
lady should encourage self respect in her
servants sufficiently to give them an ade-
quate supply of table linen as we'll as what
is necessary for their rooms. Most cooks
will gladly wash out their tablecloths for
the sake of a clean, neat, attractive looking
table.-Sew York Tribune.

The Burning of Waste Eooa.


Burn your waste particles of food-odds
and ends that are left on the table, useless
pieces cut off in the kitchen; in fact, any
thing and everything that would otherwise
go into the dumpbox. 1t is a much health
Ter method of getting rid of waste than the
usual way of keeping the same for q num-
Der OF days, perhaps until you are favored
by a weekly call from the garbage gatherer.
Bones, vegetable scrapings and Feelings,
yes, even mush, will eventually be con-
sumed and can be accomplished without
interfering with the ordinary cooking or
s%lackening the fire any perceptible degree
by placing the same in the farthest corner
of the crate and allowing it to dry while
the ordinary fire is being burned. 1t will
not be long before the blaze will catch on to
the mass, and it will vanish.
Then, again, it is economical, for it fur.
nishes a kind of fuel which costs nothing.
which one is glad to be rid of and the burn
ing of which is a sanitary measure, of itself
the most important feature and recon-
mendation. An objection may be raised on
account of the odor arising when the stove
lids are lifted, but by a iudicious use of the
damper and by being careful not to place
such material in the stove eXceptingduring
4 moderately brisk fire, having it all burn
down before another is built, no disagree.
able odor will be noticed.
The points III favor of burning waste and
reducing it to ashes are many compared to
the slight objections which may be urged.
The disease breeding massin the back yard
is done away with, and in consequence
mice that find in the garbage box all attrac-
ton for their unwelcome visits are an I'M
known quantity.-Good Housekeeping.

Never Punish When Angry.

Punishment should never be the express
sion of the parents irritation, and slapping
children, which is too often the mode of its
expression, should always be avoided. A
sharp, singing blow only rouse rebellion,
although prudence may prevent its express
sion, and the obedience is dearly bought
that awakens the worst feelings of the little
heart. A mother should always control
herself before she attempts to control her
little child, and if chastisement must be in
flicted it should be after her own excite
ment has cooled down and she can look at
the fault impartially. -Motherhood.

Work That Wealthy Women do.

A woman who makes fancy articles for
one Of the exchanges was complaining re-
Gently that hose who do this work for a
living are frequently undersold by women
who DO not have to earn their bread, but
who want to add to their pin money. She
said: These women surely ought not to
exhibit their work for sale at emporiums
which were primarily established to help
wage earners. Do they not defeat the very
purpose of the exchange by so doing? They
have more leisure than we do. They can
afford to take up the finest kinds of fancy
work, and as :hey do not depend for the
necessities of life upon what they earn,
they are often willing to sell for less than
we can afford to, and the worst of it is they
often have wealthy friends who desire to
purchase their articles"
There is just one point in all this. and
that is that these women should seek to sell
at stores managed upon a purely business
basis rather than at these salesrooms which
were organized to help needy women earn
a living. But some few unsuccessful work
ers would go further than this and say that
well to do women should not attempt to
earn money at all if they so desire. One
might as we'll say that women in comforta-
BILE circumstances should not write books,
paint pictures or think out inventions for
fear of competing with those less favorably
placed. Acting upon such principles one
Of the best serial stories nov running would
never have been written. Mediocrity would
be the result. To forbid all women the In
dustrial field who are not absolutely driven
to work would be q step backward rather
than forward in the progress of woman
kind.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A High Stool For the Kitchen.

Every we'll appointed kitchen should con-
tain at least one office stool, such as are
used by clerks who write at high desks.
1t allows mistress or maid to work as read
lily sitting as standing at various employ
ments, without that wearisome gesture of
stretching up the arms to a level with a
table or ironing board. Another impor-
Ian advantage is that the feet rest upon
its rounds, and thus rcmove the weight of
the body from them. This in itself is more
comfortable and refreshing than women
are accustomed to consider. -Exchange.

Points For the Stout.

The stout woman has it in her power to
make a handsome appearance and to b.
reasonably happy. Her success, however,
must be Won along the lines of modesty,
simplicity and temperance. A woman who
weighs 150 pounds or more should let nov
elites in the dress alone and avoid extremes
as she would the plague.
She needs style, and the more exclusive
and elegant it is the better, but fashion will
make either a guy or a clown of her, for the
jade has only gems for dancing, laughing
youth.
Large patterns, wide stripes, shaggy faced
goods, fur, velvet and all other fabrics with
a thick pile or rough surface have a tend
ency to shorten or widen whatever they
drape. A stout woman in a cashmere dress
and a hin one in a fur cape are nice look
ing. Reverse the garments, and every
pound of flesh on the one and every bonein
the other is ~accentuated.
The stout woman will wear either seed
patterns or plain weave, hair stripes In half
tones of %colors, straight draperies and trim
mings if al all, put on in vertical lines if
she wants to look trim. Tight sleeves and
gloves give the arms the outlines of q ham
and the hands the appearance of abbrevi-
ated head cheeses.
A bulky woman should never wear white
and in her will she should state a preference
for dark grave clothes. She has no bust
ness with lace, passementerie, decollete bod
ices, high shoulders. curled feathers or q
low style Of hairdressing.
Let her wear her hair on the very tip top
of her head to increase her altitude; let her
wear a high comb or hair ornament, quilts
in her bonnet, high but broad heels, and a
trained skirt for the same object.-New
York World.

Bacon Nearly as Good a. Butter.

Next to sweet, fresh butter, as a digest

cately broiled, is as delicious as it is nutri-
tious. It is said to be the process Of curing
that changes pork which in its fresh state
is so hard for a delicate stomach to assimi-
late. The fiber is SO close that the digestive:
fluids do not readily act uponit. Mrs. Abel,
who is an authority or the chemistry of

he succeeded in finally bringing the
work of the money order division up to
date and it 10 the first time in the his

that this division has been caught up

fact in connection with Mr.. Bushby's

listened to attentively by the audience.
The solo tf Mrs. Porter, Eye Soft Blue

voice of that lady, was a treat, and Mrs.
Porter was heartily encored. Little

for a full share of appreciation and an

A bed Day" For Tired Ones.

It is told of Phoebe Cary. who was q re-
markedly sunshiny and loving woman.
that whenever she used to feel out of
Sorts" she would shut herself up in her
room for rest until her serenity of soul was
restored. She was wise enough to discern
the physiological side of amiability and gov
ern herself accordingly. A mother of two
restless children acts upon the same princi-
pie by insisting upon an occasional bed
day" She has observed hat ''crossness'
with them is invariably the result of too
much activity: that nervous force is ex-
pended faster than muscular strength is
generated, and tries to restore the balance
in the manner suggested.
The children understand that the meas.
ure is not a punishment. but enforced solely
for sanitary reasons. and are allowed plenty
of plaything> and quiet games. This moth
er t~estifies that the next day her small
brood is bright and clipper as young rob-

or adults is worth trying, especially after
the excitement and irregular habits neces-
sarily connected with a holiday season.

Change OF Air Is Often Better han Physic.
Too often parents and guardians are at Il
loss to know what to do for their delicate"
children. One sees that a child is not
strong. She looks pale. seems to he weak
and so quickly exhausted upon every slight
exertion. Possibly the appetite is miserable,
and either inability to sleep or too great an
inclination to sleep are prominent and dis
tressing symptoms. Oftentimes these symp-
toms are f~orerunners of a fever or some
other grave disease, but more frequently
they indicate the need of a change from in
door life to that Of living in the open air.
The best mode of living out of doors is to
find some work to do there, although idle
saunterlng is better than keeping within
doors. Medicines do little good where moth

Commissioner Lochren Declares He Is Not
Afraid of Investigation.
WASHINGTON, Sept 0.-Commission-
er of Pensions Lochren declares that il
is not the Secretary of the interior but
himself who is responsible for the con-
duct of the pension bureau. Whatever
may be made upon the admin
istration of the pension bureau should
be aimed at him and not at the secre-
tary, as he had gone much further
than the secretary ever indicated in his
conversation with him regarding the
management of the bureau.
Secretary Smith, as is well known, is
rather sensitive of criticisms passed on
him, while Commissioner Lochren
rather enjoys them He has told a
number of his friends in congress that
if any attempt should be made by re-
publicans to have the methods of man
agement of the pension Office investi-
gated, they should not stand in the
way, as he wants as much publicity
given to his acts as possible.
The commissioner says that it will
not be necessary to bring the secretary
into the matter at all for when he has
made his statement there viii be moth
for the secretary to explain.
