Though in Italy the SO called "emanci-
patton" Of women is by no means SO far
advanced as in England or the United
States, there are few countries in Europe
where the political influence of women is
greater than In Italy. The influence,
though great, is not, however, always APP
parent, for it is chiefly exercised indirectly
and privately by the women of the upper
classes. Instead Of forming themselves
into associations and leagues and interna-
tional unions and organizing public meet
ings and competing with political orators,
the Italian women interested in politics
work quietly and certainly not less efFica-
ciously than their more COMMUNICATED"
sisters. As q rule, Italian women work by
means of the old French expedient, the
salon. In Rome alone there are no fewer
than q dozen salons devoted almost entire
~ to the discussion of political topics.
Each salon has its own special political
color which is generally that of the
husband or father or friends Of the mis-
tress of the house; but, while the thread
and web of the politics carried ON in a sa-
Ion are spun and woven by the men who
frequent it, the personal influence of the
mistress of the house acts on each one of
her guests, modifying views and softening
or it may be accentuating the roughness
of ambition. As long as they remain in
their salon Italian political women are IN
every way admirable.

A clean white muslin SKIRT plainly hem
med is far nicer than such q palpable
fraud.
I stopped one young girl once to tell her
softly that her hustle showed in the back,
and she gave me a whitening look and
said, 1T you had been minding your own
old business, you wouldn't have seen it,"
Since then / content myself with look
ing and saying nothing. But nothing can
excuse such gross carelessness, unless it is
writing about fashions.
There are some magnificent stuffs shown
for the mi~llionairesses for their reception
gowns for this season. The ground is
satin with silver or gold applique wrought
with velvet. 1t is superb and suggests
royalty. Sometimes it is put over MORE.
Pale blue MORE with az applique of silver
and white velvet and lace makes a fabric
too splendid to imagine. Peking silks show
stripes of real gold tissue with dainty ro-
COCO stripes between. Sometimes these
have fine brocaded flowers in natural col
ors. Satin, faille, peking stripes, taffeta
and all the heavy corded silks in blacks
and colors ale shown. Satin duchesse,
faille and moire will, I think, be most pop
ular for all but the most c~eremonious
functions.

The first time any par OF a deceased
senator's funeral expenses was paid out of
public funds was on the occasion of the
death of John Gaillard of South Carolina,
who died Feb. 26, 1926. Two other SEN
ators died that year-N,cholas Van Dyke
Of Delaware, May 10, and Joseph Nell
yaine of New Jersey, Aug. 10. The aver
age public expense incurred IN recount Of
these three deaths was $292.47.
Within the next 90 years-from 1926 to
1847, inclusive-27 senators died, and the
remains Of II Of them were inferred at the
governments expense. The average ex-
pendituTe in those cases was $685. so.
From 1548 to 1867, inclusive, 2S senators
died, and IS of them were buried by the
senate at an average expenditure of ST.
365. IS. The record from 1869 to 1894
shows 80 deaths in the senate, and all but
five of these were the occasion of more or

Cooking In Mexico.

AS all cooking is lone with charcoal
and ovens are practically unknown in pri-
vate houses very few families bake bread.
The small, hard crusted loaves of French
bread are delivered all over the city IN
great baskets four feet across that are car
ried on the heads of cargadores. A good
Mexican cook relieves the mistress of the
house of worry and responsibility in a
manner that is almost unknown in the
United States. The cook is given SO much
a day, and with this amount she will pur-
chase each morning all the provisions of
the day, including even the staples that
are usually bought in large quantities in
other countries. On a dollar O day a cook
will provide a very good table for a fam
lily of three or four and get enough beans
and t~ortillas and chill to set the servants
table besides. They can really do better
than their mistresses, because they can
usually drive sharper bargains with the
market men of their OWL class, and they
rave more patience to haggle over the last
penny.-ssModern Mexico"

The Family Tool Chest.

When the various tools and implements
needed in a household are kept in a cup
board, I would suggest that they should
be hung round the walls of the cupboard
upon a background of smoothly pasted
white paper. The shape of each too when
first hung should be boldly outlined in
ink, and then when q tool is taken out
and not replaced its loss is Instantly APP
parent as soon as the cupboard door is
opened, and a search can be more success
fully instigated than would have been
the case had the tools all been ~heterogene-
ously mixed upon the shelves of the cup
board. Among useful and necessary house
hold tools may be mentioned a large and
a small hammer, an ak, Ratchet, saw,
~lnallet, several gimlets of different sizes,
several bradawls, a chisel, plane, several
jackknives, a large pair of sharp scissors,
a carpet stretcher, q knife sharpener and
an assortment of various sized nails and
screws.

Fashion holds to her feminine preroga-

now plaid is pat before our eyes again.
But it must DO said that the new designs
are really handsome. The prevailing tones
are dark and the lines are indistinct, and
there are often pieces whore the figure is
wrought in raised threads on a soft twilled
ground. In these the pattern is generally
largo, and no effort is made to reproduce
clan plaids. There are often small blocks
of two colors made in fours, these OVERLAND
with lines large enough to more than COW
er the four blocks.
I notice, too, many new ideas in duh
stripes, some Of them quite wide. These
stripes all run up and down. Some of
them have the Topped effect, though rather
4closer thar ever before. Tho plaids in

Natural Shoe Polish.

Orange juice is one of the best dressings
for black shoes or boots. Take a slice or
quarter of an orange and rub it On the
shoe or boot. Then, when dry, brush with
a soft brush until the shoe shines like a
looking glass. This is an English recipe.
Another fruit dressing is for tai shoes
the inside of o banana skin, Rub the skin
over the shoe thoroughly; wipe off careful
" with a soft cloth briskly. Patent leath-
er shoes should not be polished with black
ing. These are the hardest kind of shoes
to keep looking well and require constant
care. They may be cleaned with a damp
sponge and Immediately dried with a soft
cloth, with occasionally a little yaseline
or sweet oil. They must never be donned
in cold weather without heating, or they
will crack as soon as exposed to the cold
air.-Baltimore American.

The Homemaker.

The first demands on a woman's love,
interest and strength, are made within the
four walls Of her home. Nothing on earth
is SO important to her as the well being,
the developments, of those who are depend
emit on her for love and comfort, who look
to her as the homekeeper. Every demand
is secondary to that. 10 have ones abili-
ty recognized is pleasant; to feel oneself a
necessity in settling the worlds stirring
problems is fattering, but How much
can ! do and not rob home and myself?,s
is the question to ask at the beginning.
On the answer depend health and happi-
ness. There are few women who cannot
give q little time to some line of thought
or activity outside Of the caring for the
home. 1t is necessary that a woman
should. if she is to keep her vitality and
freshness Of spirit. 1t is a thousand times
better to wear out than ruyt cn, but we
can be good engineers and keel FIN right
kind of oil on the machinery. We can keep
q balance between mind and body and not
let the one exhaust the vitality Of the
other.

BARRACKS on sEAvEY's ISLAND.

throw of Now Hampshire, for 1t is located
at the mouth of the Piscataqua river, in
Portsmouth harbor. On the Maine side Of
the harbor is the Kittery navy yard, and
on the other shore is to be seen the grim
walls of Fort Constitution.
Until recently the only building on
Seavey's island was the naval hospital,
but when it was decided to establish prison
headquarters there the construction of a
row of barracks was hastily begun. There
arc nine houses in this row, and they are
entirely comfortable for summer occu-
pancy.
When the Spanish prisoners were landed
from the St. Paul and Harvard, they were
hungry, poorly clad and many of them
were i'll. Since then they have been prop
erly clothed at government expense, they
have been well fed, and the ailing ones
have been skillfully doctored in the hos
pital. Altogether the prisoners are being
much better treated than they were on
their own ships.
The first meal served to the prisoners
showed the measure of hospitality of I'm
Gle Sam toward his unfortunate enemies.
1t was far more generous in quantity and
more substantial in quality than many a
h~ardworking man in our cities secures
for his principal meal.
The barracks and a large part Of the is
land have been inelosed By a stockade out
side of which the prisoners are only allow
ed to go in small squads. About 200 ma
rines form the guard. A couple of Calling
guns mounted on the highest point of the
island discourage any attempts at escape.

OF Jaose whose means VIII not permit
them. Ihope I shall not belong to the lat
ter class when the time comes. These ma
terials are now III the hands of the swell
dressmakers and are being made up for
the wise ones among the Four Hundred.
These goods are for the most part mix
lures of silk and wool. The wool is a
"dead flne'' weave, with heavy cords at
intervals of from a thirty-second to a six
tcenth Of an inch, and these cords are of
silk. The presence of the silk through the
body of the wool and Of the wool through
the silk cord gives to each q luster and
bloom that are indescribably rich. In black
it is the most beautiful fabric that I have
ever seen. There are other superb stuffs
In wool and silk where it is all smooth
with nc everything cords, and others where
the cords are waved and ~zigzagged across.
The prunella is one of these new fabrics,
Inc already ono finds In these swell houses
elegant tailor gowns made Of it. 1t is
very glossy, even more SO than the finest
farmer satin, being mixed Of silk and fine
natural Australian wool. This is also
c~ravanetted or rendered waterproof in the
weaving or some process of its manufac-
ture. This makes it impervious to all
changes in the weather, and that means
that it never Fuckers or draws at the
seams OF Says or ~bedreggles, no matter to
what rough storms it may be exposed.
Some of the handsomest of these black
tailor made costumes have combinations
of plain or ribbed waterproof poplins and
silks, for silks-some of them-are made
waterproof too.
For instance, there is a skirt of the pru-
nella reaching to about IS inches of the
bottom. The rest is sprung founce, with
q heading of fine passementerie, or in
soIne cases adesign in the thick stiff Vene-
tian, Genoese or Irish point lace. One
gown being finished for Mrs. Oliver II. p.
Belmont, who is now in Newport having
q good time while the rest Of us are hav-
ing anything but a good time in New
York, is made in this way. 1t is of dark
gray prunella and trimmed as Isaid, with
heavy lace. There is a close bodice OF
cerise plush pointed deeply in the back,
but rounded Off short in front. The gray
Is cut in shape Of an open jacket, scalloped
along the front and cut away in the back
in two scallops to show the plush. The
edges are trimmed with the lace applica-
ton. The sleeves are very tight to the
TOP, where the shoulders are squared
with scalloped caps and two rufies Of very
dark gray taffeta. Rufies Of taffeta are
put along the fronts of the bodice and a
fine point lace tie made into a jabot filed
in the front. The sleeves extend to the
point SO much liked by many women, as
it makes the hand lock smaller. a parasol
OF cerise silk with white applique lace bor-
dor goes with this gown, which is intend
ed for some special outdoor use, probably
coaching or acrimonious visiting.

To Clean Redticking.

As a spring cleaning item we must con
slider the best method of cleaning bedtick-
ing. 1t is obvious that this should not be
neglected when other parts Of the house
and it's furniture receive attention. Ia the
first place, carefully remove the feathers
and store them on the door Of an attic,
with a sheet over them, SO that they may
not be blown all over the house. Then
shake the ticking cases free from fluff and
feathers and rinse in cold water in which
has been dissolved q large ~tessspoonful of
permanganate Of potash. When this is
thoroughly rubbed into the material,
wiring and dry the cases and rub the i'm
side with o piece OF beeswax. This is to
prevent tho disagreeable working through
Of h feathers when the beds are again
stuffed.

Spelling Good Bread.

There are 90 ways to spoil good bread,
says an old New England housekeeper.
There are a hundred little things to be
considered and allowed for that require
accurat observation and experience. The
sans process that will raise good bread in
cold weather will make sour bread in the
heat of summer. Different qualities of
flour require variations in treatment, as
also different sorts and conditions of yeast.
and when all is done the baking presents
another series IF possibilities which re-
quire exact attention. Although bread
making seems a simple process, it requires
delicate care and watchfulness.
