1t Needs the Sa ME Freque nj Care That
Pots and Pans Have.
TT HELPFUL suggestion is to be well
coined from whatever source 1t
N may come, and this bit OF moral
4 izing. from the New York Times,
regarding certain kitchen prac-
tices is just as valuable as though it ap-
pcarcd for the first time in some publication
claiming TO be devoted especially and ex-
clusively TO the interests of Bridget and
her mistress. 1t Is often the simplest de-
tails of kitchen labor that are the most
neglected.
The hot water kettle. for example-how
many cooks pay any attention to 1t? Stale
water. simmered and with all vi,alit cooked
out, is its perennial portion, with an occa.
sionai filling up and sudden boiling as the
need requires. If every hOusekeeper who
reads this paragraph should 20 straight
TO her kitchen, llrt the kettle, and carry it
TO the window, where strong light will
disclose Its interior, nine out of ten Of
them will find 4 rusty layer Of lime, iron,
and dregs, that effcctually prevents any
good Favored water from issuing from it.
The kettle needs the same frequent and
thorough care that any kitchen utensil
needs. Into such, having 1t already warm,
put fresh filtered water, boil rapidly, and
use at once, and one of the large aids to
palatable food is secured.

but babies clothes arc being simpiaed and
made more comfortable, just as garments
for their elders are. Sensible mothers do
not bundle their infants up in long clothes
any more. The babies are most apPfecia-
tive. They express their enthusiasm In
kicks OF joy.
Their first slips and wrappers arc made to
come a few inches below their feet. Theif
clothes are so gradually shortened they
seem to keep pace with the growth of the
youngsters. The regulation short dresses
that display their bootees appear before
anybody is aware OF change. oid-rash-
ioned mothers, WHO still make serious ana

HOME MANICURING.
Advice to the Woman Who Suffers
From Brittle Nails
734-736 7th st.

from hFittie 0hllS
1r 7 HAT shall do for my nails?" ex-
~ yAI claimed an exasperated woman.
" "They grow to a certain length
and when think they are long
enough to trim in shape they
break Off. It's simply provoking"
There are not n few of US who are af-
fccted with these brittle nails. and they are
very trying to the patience of any woman
who desires to have an attractive
hand. One of the annoyances of cold
weather spell TO many women is the
way In which their finger nails split and
break. owing to the increased brittle
ness. which makes IL almost an impossi-
bility to keep the hands In good Con-
dition.
Such nails should never be cut with any
thing but the sharpest manicure scissors.
and then not until they are softened by hold
ing in warm water for few minutes. 1t is
not good plan, however, to cut the nails
Clipping is said to thicken them. Filing
Is the proper thing.
Every manicure set carries delicate little
file for this purpose, and they can be pro-
cured singly in the stores. Brittleness OF
nails may be lessened by rubbing almond oil
thoroughly into the finger ends. when re-
tiring. The best olive oil or cold cream
is also used for this purpose. No woman
should let her toilet table be minus lnbri-
eating Oil OF some make. as it is always
needed; a chapped hand. n fever blister. or
one of the many ills that female flesh is an
I'm willing heir to. After rubbing oil into
the nails an old pair OF kid gloves must be
pulled on for the night
The housewife whose nails break easily
should never stir anything cooking on a
hot range without pulling on pair OF
old gloves. The dry heat from the fire
makes the nails more brittle than ever,

Pick Ne On

and all the care that she may give them
nightly viii be nullified by such exposures
to fierce heat. Great cold has n bad ef-
feet on brittle nails, and the owner OF these
troublesome things should never go outside
OF doors with ungloved hands.
People make q great mistake In scrap
ing the inside of the nail with the pointed
end of a file OF anything of steel. 1t is
preferable to use little orange wood
stick, pointed at the end, so that 1t can be
easily inserted under the nail. The result
is that the under surface is not roughened
and The dust is not attracted.
DO not cut the selvedse or border around
the outside OF the nail. 1t Is barba rously
unnatural custom. The selvedgc should be
gently pressed back every morning after
washing the hands.
II rose paste is used at all only the tinicst
touch is necessary for good taste, and Just
enough to aid the polishing process. Then
a little nail powder, followed by brisk
rubbing with small piece of chamois. will
make a pink, transparent and attractive
nail.

HON I'd KEEP LENT.

n row that the iLlnten season is close
nj at hand. women WHO usually Oh
NJ serve the churth's fast are de-
i u tcrminedi on various methods of
carrying 1t out in the full signifi-
canoe OF the word. They wish to make
the chain OF forty days a time Of real
sclf-deniai, from which they will then be
able to emerge strengthened and refreshed
for the regular routine of their lives.
One woman know detests darning and
even refuses to wear mended hose. Conse-
auentiy she has quite a stock of partly worn
stockings stuffed away among her odds and
ends. Having asked all her near friends
OF O similar kind she viii have many dozens
OF pairs ready for a unique Lenten task.
She will devote two hours OF every week
day during this six weeks to darning the
Accumulated stock of hosiery. At the end
OF the allotted period they viii be handed
over all neatly mended and useful articles
to some charitable institution.
Another clever woman, with a decided
taste for millinery, will bring to light an
her old bonnets stored away for several
years past. She, Also has called upon her
wealthy acquaintanccs to contribute to
this list OF out-of7date articles.
Realizing that the love OF an Easter bon
net is Unborn in the feminine heart, Ind know
ing what delight her own dainty headgear
fmparts upon that festalday. she proposes to
bestow the same pleasure upon Others less
blessed with resources. After Investing
some of her allowance In simple straw
frames the trimmings from her large stock
or flowers and feathers will be used to
fashion numbers OF pretty Easter hats.
which she intends shall gladden. the hearts OF
as many poor girls.
A young mother OF four bright children
whose heavy social obligations allow o
very limited amount of leisure to bestow
upon her little ones. intends to devote her
self to them exclusively during the forty
days OF fasting. She win be in the nursery

them on their walks and see that the "chii-
dren's hour 'FRONT.' till In the evening Is
never infrlnged upon. This hour will be
spent In nentertaining reading or storytelling
and she moreover insists that no company
shall break In upon this arrangement.
doubt not that her happy children will
wish that Lent might continue the year
around.
Another woman with different idea, but
one calculated to give equally as much pleas
ure, will observe certain special Lenten du-
tics. Every week she will invite twelve
working girls to luncheon at her house be-
tween the hours OF 12 and l O'Clock on
Saturday afternoons. She proposes acting

Easter Bntterfiies.


In looking over all the gay and airy tis-
sues and textures preparing to lnaugurate

lieve that a very gay butterfly. indeed,

Lenten chrysalis, twto now walks about

and general air worn with the gowns OF
eschewing worldiiness altogether. But
these seriOus-minded maids and young
matruns will be frivolous enough when
Easter brings the period of bright gowns
and giddy bonnets, and the world once
more allures, while fashion again ascends
the throne from which she appears to be
temporarily dcposed or course, this depo-
sitiOn is in appearance only, for the Lenten
gown. despite its soberness, is as care

studied rules as the gossamer robe OF Miss

NOMAN'S PROGRESS.
Girls as Members of English Fire
Brigade.

Brigade.
HfE LEARN, says an English eI-
mi change, that at the Eastern Hospi-
Wv tai. in London. the nurses are very
much quicker in fire drill than
the male staff. Holloway Col
iege also coasts fire brigade, consisting &
of the lady students, who are one and al
excellent fircwomen, capable OF getting
the engine into full working order in less
than a minute.
This is a most satisfactory perform
ancc, and scarcely less remarkable is the
record of the laundry maids in connec-
tion with Sir John BluDden Naples rei-
dcnce at Childwick,ury. These girls are
trained to get powerful jet playing
upon supposed fire in about one minute
twenty nine seconds.
In London we learn that there are sew
crai female brigades, as, for instance, at
the large establishments of Messrs. Swan
& Edgar of Piccadilly; Messrs. stagg &
Mantle of Leicester square, and many other
firms whose lady assistants are experts
in the handling of hose and pumps-as.
indeed, assistants in a urge drapery estab-
lishmcnt should he. But the credit of pro-
ducing the first fire brigade of women Is
due to Girton College, where the students
have long bad their private brigade and
appliances.

New Place to Carry n Watch.

A pretty woman wore her watch-well,
where do you suppose? In her neck. Who
but a pretty woman would think OF putting
1t In such place. As the youngsters say,
she was "a stunner!' One OF her fellow
passengers in the stage dared to reveal In
her countenancc that she thought q white
satin neckband was queer place for q
watch. The owner of the tiny gold time
piece. which was not larger than n medium
sized button, was of the brilliant brunette
type. and I've seen a mettlesome black
pony's eyes flash as hers did. when She lifted
her hand and jerked out Of her soft satin
stock her watch. She tucked it back a
quarter OF IN inch beyond the turn Of her
exquisite chin, and the blue-enameled fob
chain. with its tiny ball, dangied unobtru-
sively just below the throatband OF the
white satin vest that completed her ex-
tremely modish attire.
