self, she made up her mind that she
would be charming. And she said,
L studied every hour of my life to be

she succeeded. Adelina Patti was
the Ugly Quickly, it being thought
by her parents that her sister

Anderson, the ideal, classical beauty
of the last two decades, was consid-
cred in her own home an awkward,

The Wiz Makes the Home.

There are girls and girls. 1t is
scarcely fair to choose from any sta
ton in life and say: "These or
those make the best of wives"
much, very much, depends on the
girl herself. Whether from factory,
store or home, if she has the true
woman's heart and desire to make
the home in its fullest sense, she will
fulfill her duties nobly. Early edu-
cation, home influence and environ
ment, mould her character, and if
these are all that they should be in
this enlightened age, the experience
gained by working for livelihood,
if put to the right use, make easier
the new duties in the home. If the
girl who takes upon herself the vows
of wife does so thoughtfully, con-
scientiously, she will be a success,
no matter what her stat ion. The
fact of her having been a wage
Garner will not unfit her for her new
role. 1t will aid, not hinder.

HOW to Make Good Coffee

Mix an egg thoroughly with two
heapIng tablespoonfuls of coffee, put
into the coffee pot and pour on it
two cups of fresh boiling water, boil
five minutes, stir well with fork,
set on the back of the stove to keep
hot five minutes, add half cup Of
cold water, pour out little coffee
and pour it back again to clean the
grounds from the spout, then let
stand ten minutes, and be careful
not to shake the pot when serving.
There is a decided necessity for pro-
test against the fashion of grinding
coffee that is persisted in by some
grocers. They grind it so coarse
that the consumer must use double
quantity to get any favor from it.
Housekeepers should understand
that it takes much more coffee for a
good cup when ground coarse than
when it is in small particles. 1t
should never be coarser than granu-
lated sugar, if the best flavor is de-
sired.

Clean Every Day.

A young housekeeper said recent
ly: II never have a regular Gle an
ing day. 1 expect my house to be
kept clean, and then there is no need
of weekly upsetting. 1 have no car
pets, the doors are kept busted and
wiped, the rugs are beaten now and
then, and the whole house busted
thoroughly every day" This ar
rangement, which does away with
the annoyance of the usual weekly
ousting from ones comforts, savors
little of Utopia, and though it may
work very well in a household of
two people, it is to be feared that it
would prove impracticable in d large
family circle, with half "A dozen
lively children to bring in dust and
stir things up generally.

Bend at Your Hips.

In the Kitchen there is much bend
ing to be done, says "Womankind."
Do you do it properly? Never bend
at your waist. Observation shows
that two-thirds of people do. The
hips are made for the point of action.
By using them our chests are ex-
banded, curvature of the spine re-
pulsed, and an attitude of grace OBJ
tanned. Bending at the waist has
the contrary effect. No more droll
or awkward position can be imag-
ined, shoulders bumped and chest
contracted. Not only is grace lack
ing, but our breathing apparatus is
robbed of its due.

Household Brevities.

Much favor attaches to Brussels
lace curtains.
A little salt sprinkled on a hot
stove will remove any disagreeable
odor.
According to a good housekeeper,
if small piece of bread is put upon
the point of the knife while peeling
and cutting onions it will prevent
the tears from flowing.
A little kerosene on sponge or
cloth will clean the outside of your
windows in freezing weather. Pol
ish them we'll with a clean, dry
cloth after, make Canton flannel
bags, furry side out, to cover the
brooms for sweeping down papered
walls and polished floors. Put in
a drawing string to hold them in
place over the "hips" of the broom.
Jewelry can be beautifully cleaned
by washing it in hot soapsuds to
which few drops of ammonia have
been added, and then shaking off
the water and laying the jewelry in
box of jewelers. sawdust. This
method leaves no marks or scratches.

Gifted and Handsome.

Mrs. BalIington Booth is said to
be handsome, gifted, and as much
at home in the drawing rooms of
wealth as she is in the slums of
wretchedn 9ss. Mrs. Booth is de-
scribed as a graceful lady, a little
below medium height, with very
attractive face. She has, moreover,
wonderful gift of speech, probably
natural as well as acquired, and is
never at a loss to create interest and
enthusiasm when on the speakers
platform. Her maiden name was
Maud Cnarlesworth, and she is a
daughter of church of England
clergyman. She is about twenty-siX
years old. AS a child she became
interested in the Salvation Army,
and has now been connected with it
for eleven years. She began her
work in Paris, and then went to
Switzerland, where she was persecu
ted more than any place she ever
visited. After working some time
in the slums of London she came TO
this country with her husband. Her
oldest boy, William, is now eight
years old, and attends school in
Montclair, n. j., where the Booths
reside. Her little daughter, TheO-
dora, has just passed the third mile
stone of her life road. The Booths
live in hired house, and it is plainly
furnished. Mrs. Booth is much in
terested in surgery, and has pub
liahed two works on the amateur
phases of the subject. Mrs. Booth
claims that the Salvation Army is
the apostle of the new womanhood;
that the army was the first to allow
them to do battle on the same foot
ing with men. But there is anothe'
kind of new woman, of whom she
says:
1.-The new woman of the times is IL
woman who hates men, who sneerS
at wildwood and motherhood, who
dislikes children, and who lavishes
the affection which belongs to them
on a pug-nosed dog, which she car
ries in the great mannish pocket of
her mannish attire. She wants to
emancipate us. We do not want
her to emancipate us, for the true
new woman, in rising higher, must
rise to mans level, and then raise
llllll anu NOIllull ClllhO w viz
higher plane. l would like to take
the new woman's dress and change
it. / would have it made over for
the children in the slums. Her big
sleeves would clothe a whole family
of ragged little ones, and l would
give some of her habiliments to the
sex to which they belong. [ would
take the books she reads, the eX-
amples of disgusting realism which
her mother would blush to see, and
burn them in the fire with her ci-
garettes and her chewing gum. Then
| would try to get her down to the
Salvation Army hall and enamel
pate her. If that didn't work, /
would prescribe for her a strong
willed husband, who would teach
her all that is great and good and
strong in the other SEX"

The Sleek Hair.

There is nothing about the whole
person that will betray lack of per-
sonal attention so readily as the
hair, and nothing that will respond
so quickly by an improved appear
ance to the care bestowed upon it.
Hair that is carefully brushed
nightly betrays the fact by a sheeny
lustre, silken gloss and sOftness of
texture that neglected tresses never
have. So it is with the hands and
complexion. The skin that is
cleaned nightly by warm bath,
though no cosmetic is used, responds
by soft, satin-like texture, a we'll
groomed look, and keeps its young
appearance long after the passing OF
the woman's first youth.

How to select Tableware.

The way for the dainty house
keeper to have pretty though eco
nomical arrangement of dishes for
her dining table is to avoid sets of
dishes. Sets of nice china are ex-
pensive in the first place, and a
never ending source of misery in the
effort they entail to match broken
pieces. Odd sets of plates, cups and
sauoers, unique of their kind; single
dishes for vegetables, condiments

Clean White Skirts.

The laundress will be gladdened
by the news that the stiffest of white
skirts are again to be worn, to sim
ilate the frou-frou of the silk petit
coat, which, with the advent of sum-
mer, will be put aside, and the fresh,
crisp white ones worn in their stead.
Their stiffness is about the only dec
grafton, for lace betrimmed petit
coat is quite de trop for street wear,
and no one with any pretense to
good form would think of wearing
one. Made of the finest cambria,
with a triple set of hemstitched ruff
fles set in together at the foot, con-
stitutes their beauty. They do
much, too, to give the skirt of the
gown the correct swing, almost as if
hoops are worn. When fair one
lifts her silk-lined gown, the bewil-
dering eXpanse of snowy linen is
most refreshing.

Brittle Nails,

Women with brittle nails should
never expose their hands to great
cold or heat without first DOMINIC a
pair of gloves. They should not
scrape their nails with steel, but
should use orange wood sticks in
stead. A little olive or almond oil
should be rubbed on the nails at
night to soften them.
