HINTS FOR WOMEN.
What is Wise and What is Otherwise
in a Few 'Don'ts'' and Dos"

Do keep your baby clean.
Do give bin pure air at all times.
Do let him have a few SpoOnfuls Of
water several times a day.
Do not let everyone kiss him.
Do Dot let anyone jostle and shake
and tickle him.
Do not keep him SO warm that he
cannot sleep. Babies, as a rule, are
bundled up too much.
Do not neglect him, and then, when
he cries for some needed attention, say
that he is a "crOSS, bad-tempered little
nuisance" A. healthy baby seldom
cries when his wants are properly
filed, and a sickly one certainly has a
perfect right to make life a burden to
those who allowed it to become so.
Do act as if you expected your child
to grow up healthy being every way;
look hopefully into the future, and
therefore do not worry needlessly.
Don't wear a veil with a hole in it.
1t gives a woman a sQuaIid look of
poverty that there is no excuse for.
Wells cost little, and at the worst she
can go without one.
Don't lift up your skirt high on one
side and allow it to trail on the other.
Every woman should practice holding
up her skirts before a pier glass. They
can be so caught altogether in the back
as to lift them effectively and mod
estly.
Don't wear a hat too young unless
you wish to look old. A sailor hat
can be confidently recommended as
calculated to make any mature woman
look ike a grandmother.
Don't wear a bang bigger than the
moments fashion justities if you don't
wish to look hopelessly vulgar. 1t is
a general law that you can always de
a simpler thing than the fashion with
safety, but to be fussier than the
fashion is to be lost to good taste and
dead in vulgarity and commences.
Don't wear your clothes tight if you
are too fat.
Don't cut yourself in two near the
knees with a coat that strikes you
about there if you are a short woman.
Nothing detracts more from an ap-
pearance Of height.
Don't forget in arranging your head
gear that the effect of the modern
variations of the Alsatian bow depends
+ altogether on fine shades in placing it.
You can have horns growing horizon
tally out Of your temples and feel fash
ionable, but you will look crazy and
ugly. These bows can be set well
back on the head or they can be put
forward if they seem to come from
near the top of the head, but they
must not grow out of the temples.
Don't forget that pointed openings of
the dress at the throat are becoming
only to slender women.

ALL MANKIND IN SKIRTS.
Then. Says a Chicago Doctor Woman
Men Would Look Pretty. Too.

The woman Of today, particularly
the professional woman, devotedly
longs for some sensible substitute for
dragging petticoat is She does not
want TO resolve herself into a fin de
steele frock-nOt for a minute-but she
occasionally has the courage to ex-
claim in the face Of conservative Gus
tom: How l should welcome for out
of-door wear a pratical reform in
dress
The perpleXing problem formed the
topic for an interesting converse ton
the other afternoon at the office of
DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson. In an
swer to the query: What shall we
wear instead Of skirts?'' DR.. Steven
son said:
"On general principles, the ideal
dress allows perfect freedom of the
body. The skirt Of today is objection
able because of its length and weight.
For street wear a skirt Of light ma
terial. and reaching only TO the ankles,
would adequately fill the long-felt
want of the business woman. Seventy
years ago a skirt that came to the
ankles was much in vogue, and l do
not think that particular length I'M
graceful. Another thing, sweeping
skirts spread disease. No one knows
Of the microbes taken up by women s
dresses. The bacilH of tuberculosis
gre carried in this way, because people
viii eXpectoTate in the cars and on
the streets. Yes, as a physician,
heartily indorse an Authorization of
skirts
Would you be willing to wear such
a skirt as you deScribe?' was the in
terpOSition.
Yes" was the quiet, decisive re-
joinder
DO you think there is a sensible
substitute for SkirtS?'
Il do not think there fs-at least
never saw one. OF course these things
are merely a matter of custom
The conversation then turned on
the question of mems dress. There
is not a single graceful line in mascu-
line attire" said DR.. Stevenson. For
my part I believe men would look
better if they wore skirts. In fact.
men did wear skirts in the long ago.
When men wear short skirts on the
stage how much more graceful they
appear. In fact, | think a change in
mems attire is to be commended, and
nothing would be more graceful for
evening wear than knee breeches.
Harriet Hosmer calls our statues be
trousered obituaries and I think she
is about right. In England the deans
wear knee trousers and buckles
An interested listener was of the
opinion that skirts to the ankle are
most ungainly length, and did not
hesitate to say she heartily approved
of knee skirts and leggingS for
of knee skirts and leggings for
woman's wear To the picture was
added a short coat and a jaunty cap.
''In New Zealand women wear trOu-
sers," she continued. Il saw a pOr-
trait of a bride the other day who
was arTayed in white satin knee
breeches, and she looked graceful.

eff you approve of a knee skirt why

at is simply lack Of courage" was
the quick rejoinder. But such a suit
would look womanly. and I am sure
is sensible. Chicago Tribune.

THE CHAFING DISH.
1t Is Of Ancient Origin and Its Uses
Are Various

Like all new things this popular
utensil is old-very old, in fact-for it
is said that in the early Grecian days
the women cooked in a sort of pan.
beneath which burned a pot of oil, and
the children of Israel made toothsome
the locust of the desert in a similar
manner.
1t was common utenSil with the
Assyrians and the Phoenicians accord
ing to history, and from the eXcava-
tionS Of Pompeii we learn that the
early Romans used it extensively, the
dishes and lamps being made of
bronze, with much enrichment, after
were filled with olive Oil. which was
smokeless and had a not unpleasant
0dOr.
All Of which goes to prove how class
zeal a thing our Welsh rarebits are
made in. The present form, however,
comes down to US with modern patent
appliances from the French, with
whom, during the reigns Of the later
LOuiSeS and throughout the first en-
pire, it was a very fashionable addi-
ton to the dinner table. and Nine. de
Stael is said to have been celebra ted
for her brewing Of toOthsome mixtures
in her little silver skillet. which she
took into exile with her when the re-
lentless Napoleon banished her from
the gay capital.
Louis XVI. was also A devotee Of
this branch of culinary art, and would
fairly gorge himself on the daintias his
favorite chef would concoct for him IN
bis royal presence.
Society women nowadays Qeem it
one Of their accomplishments to be
well up in chatting dish art. and &c
serve from their stewpans no end or
delicious and indigestible dainties.
Mrs. George Gould makes a most
delicious rarebit, and she IS fond Of
having late little suppers at Lake " o1d,
with few genial friends about the
chatting dish.
Mrs. John Jacob Aston is an adept
also, and has a long list Of French
dishes, beside the rarebit, that she
creates in her ella bOrate skillet al
Rhinebeck- on-the-Hudson.

by this fact, in view of the .rapidity
with which farmers are replantinp

NO TOBACCO FOR STUDENTS.


Provisions of the Law to Be Enforced at
St. Cloud.
ST. CLOUD. MINI, May 15.-Superin-
tendent S. S. Parr Of the city schools.
is Investigating the full provisions of
the law passed by the legislature which
prohibits the sale of tobacco to students
Of schools receiving state aid. The law
as it now stands imposes a fine Of $50 or
30 days Imprisonment in the county jail
for every conviction OF any one selling
tobacco to such students. Professor
Parr stated that he should at once pro-
coed to enforce the law to the full limit
in St. Cloud. The law, it appears. will
be equally effective in cases where the
purchaser is over II years Of age, if
he be student in public or state
schools.
