me mutual schools days. Unfor-
tunately. during the trip an obstruction
occurred and our car was blocked for
pward of twenty minutes Ny friend
began to become nervous. "Oh, DEAR
she said. Oh. dear! This Is most unfor-
tunate. I promised to meet John at
10 o'clock. I feally was in time today
and 1t Isn't my fault. But I'm always
late when ] promise to meet him.. And ]
make so many excuses that oda he
won't believe a word of it, / know
Point number one for my cynical friend
thought I. For this little woman lived
in apartments with no cares of house
hold upon her and no children-yet John
would no longer receive her explana-
| tions."
Later in the same day 1 had an APP
pontment with a progressive Philadel-
phta women whose name is widely known
In connection with. numerous charities.
She is suburbanite and we had planned 20
meet in the waiting room of one of our
large dry goods establishments at 2:30
p. M. I waited until a:l5 P. M. and was
about to vacate in despair when in sailed
my progressive friend. "Awfully sorry
to keep o waiting. dear" she said.
But I missed three trains in trying TO
| get here. Drove up three times to the
station just in fine to see the thing pull
out. ~Aggravating, wasn't it?

At a small Walnut street dinner the
same, evening two of the six guests were
ten minute late. And those two were,
I regret to say, women. They sailed III
with a half dozen breezy remarks and
regrets. But the fact that the oysters
and the bouillon had already disappeared;
that the hostess had been worried be-
tween the alternative of waiting for two
guests or bestowing pom four guests a
ruined dinner. made the act a positive in
civiiity.
Al the theatre later my enjoyment
of the entire first act and a portion of
the second was annihilated by theatre
goers who came in presumably to see
the finish of the play A party of young
girls and men whirled into the seats
directly in front of JUS. toward the be-
ginning of the third act. AS they sat
down one of the men said a little GROSSLY,
but with a good deal of Justice: Beast
ly thing, this. Disturbing other people
in the middle of the piece. But the man
or woman who can get Mrs. and Miss
Smythe to start for anything in any kind
of time is yet to be created"
The great secret of punctuality. as I
learned from my friend the New Woman,
is to nave things properly arranged be-
forehand. IF a woman wants to keep

clever being, she should brush her gown,

gloves the night before. When going to
a dance. the new ribbon could be sewed
on during the afternoon and the en-
broidered skirts looked to. 1t is small
wonder that a man groans about going
to church when his wife detains him half
an hour while she discusses Dime with

which leaves the white soft. AT 22 de-
grees the white is absolutely indigesti-
BILE, although the yolk will finally be-
come mealy. If the cooking is continued.
The best way of boiling eggs (which
is a misnomer, i'm that the egg is not
boiled, but poached is to cover with
boiling water. allowing a half-pfnt to
an egg, cover and allow 1t to stand for
ten mute This gives a soft egg.
If it is desired hard, add a little boil
ing water as the first water begins to
cool wrap the saucepan in a cloth, and
leave the egg in the water twenty
minutes
The best way of making beef tea,
wllen time can be takenA is to cut Juicy
beef very fine, cover with cold water and
let it stand in a cold place several hours,
to extract the salts and albunen. Pour
off from the meat, which has become white
and tasteless, and heat the liquid in a
temperature of 40 degrees
h heats 1t enough to be paaatable,
while it does not separate the nutritive
portion. Season to taste and serve. A
common mistake in making soup is to
pour off the brown sediment, which is
really THE nutritious part. In making clear
soups this Is necessarily sacrificed.
yelveteen binding rs extensively Used
for ladies' skirts. The rolled-edge mo-
hair bratbd. with corded finnish, is seem
ON serge skirts, but does not look as
well ON broadcIoth skirts. The leather
bamdfrag looks STRONG, but wears mo bet
ter than the veaveteen, and has the dis
advantages of wearing out clcth-top shoes.
The Telegram skirt binding is a COM
bination of rubber velveteen. 1t is wider
than all but but the widest ~velyeteer
bhndiulg. and half ain inch from its lower
edge carries a mount of black ~velveteem
with scalloped edge. The rubber facing
is intended to be fastened under the hem
of the skirt Only the velvet edge de-
pending below will be visible.
