be called upon to indorse nothing more
unnatural than nature. Back to book
muslin and boarding schools, you authors
and playwright, and let us have at least a
respite from these problems which are SO
problematic.
81 wish some one would write an es-
say, or a harangue, or a diatribe, or
whatever they call it, on the folly of
saving old rubbish said one girl to
another, as they sat resting after an
hours skating the other day. MY
sister. with whom l live now. Is what
is called an economical person. She
pays Sc a month for a freproof room in
d storage warehouse. in which
she keeps things she does not need.
, Some of them have been there so long
l don't believe she remembers what they
are. She never throws anything away.
1t is not miserliness or magpieish ex-
actly, because she really means to use
those things some day. If any one breaks
a fine teacup. she says:-sMary, don't
throw that OUT; say the pieces and
put them in my cupboard. I'll mend it,
So the cup goes to join 100 other broken
and disabled articles of 'bigotry and
virtue which my busy sister will never
have the time to put in good condi
ton.
.Once or twice I have tried to con-
vince her that nearly everything be-
comes useless if kept for any length of
time. Even b!otting paper will become
so hard from age that it won't absorb
ink, and as for silver, linen, leather and
! papers, we all know the condition they
get into from a long period of disuse.
/ I've given up trying to alter my sisters
opinions now. but when L first came to
live with her, I suggested clearing out
the garnet and using it for afternoon
teas. pillow fights and taffy pulls. I wish
you could have seen her face. She looked
/ at me in silent horror for a moment, and

Abstain for a given time from all solid

breakfast three ounces of milk mixed
with one ounce of barley water. This

1t is a good time to lay in a jacket for
early spring; and to those in doubt it may
be said that the good model is strictly
tailor-made, without braiding or any
other trimming.
The desirable length is from "a to 26
inches.
See that the pockets are set in straight
instead of slightly rounded, as. they were
in some of the winter jackets.
A fly front is noticed on the good jack
ct. This means that the single-breasted
is preferable to the double-breasted cut.

The 'sWoman's Home Companion
says:-There is a discretion in the selec-
ton and use of laces wherein one may
show refined taste and good judgment.
Certain kinds are befitting certain occa-
sions, certain fabrics, certain seasons and
certain uses. There are laces for morning
and evening, for indoor and outdoor cos
tunes, for wraps and bonnets, for lingerie
and muslins. silks and velvets, for youth,
maturity and age. Transparent, flmy
laces or heavy ones are to be used accord
ingly, as full or fiat decoration is desired.
For some purposes machine lace is to be
preferred to the -hand-wrought article.
To consider it more durable, however, is
a mistake.
Wooden kneading boards are declared
unsanitary. In their place in the modern
Kitchen are found heavy marble or glass
trays which are more easily kept clean.
The molding board is now declared to be
one of the places where close inspection
is needed by housewives who appreciate
the righteousness of germs and mi
crobes. Indeed, some housewives who
AVE made domestic science their hobby
will not allow dough to be kneaded al
all by hand, but insist that the same
process, or, very nearly. be accomplished
by a large spoon. Doubtless even with
the marble tray the beating with the
spoon would be more satisfactory and
the bread equally light.
1t seems that one canno have too much
tulle piled upon a hat; nor need one wafi
for spring to wear it. The brim of corded
or shirred velve permits us to wear q
cert or reception. Shaded tulle is new
here. Use it in sufficient quantity to show
that it is shaded. and not merely faded
as one might suppose from seeing only &
small piece of the pretty cloudy fabric.
If a woman's wardrobe includes severa
really fine gowns she needs several Sill
petticoats. These may be of coral, orange
bright green, a brilliant plaid, pale vel
