New England Farmer.
What pity that everything good so
often must be overdone. A certain amount
of frills in cookery tends to increase appe-
title and the pleasure Of dining. But there
is a limit to the value of garnishes; a dish
that suggests much handling of materials
to give an ornate effect is not so enjoyable
as the simplest food served neatly. 1t is
the fashion for household publications to
illustrate articles on cookery, and the ri
valry has become so great that it is some
times difficult to decide whether it is a
summer hat or a new salad that is de-
picted.
Although most fashion and cookery ar
ticles are written for wealthy people, who
do not go to the newspaper for instruction
as to what they shall wear and eat, the
fact remains that the majority of American
women cook their own food and make their
clothes excepting such as they buy ready
made. No woman who does this work can
afford TO have much intricacy I'm its details
She can sacrifice nothing to cleanliness, nu-
triton and economy in her cooking. She
must keep suitability and economy in view
in the family wardrobe, and it is to be re-
GREETED that editors do not appreciate how
much the woman in the average household
might be helped by instruction in simple
and available ways.

a Girl with Nerve.

The amazing amount of calm nerve the
occasional woman possesses fairly makes
my blood chill within me. The particular
occasional woman have in mind at present
is a dear girl OF twenty who lives out on
Columbia Heights. Fully six weeks ago she
bought a dream OF purple silk petticoat
at one OF the best shops in town. She wore
IL precisely three times. and. as every
woman knows, three wearings are enough
and more than enough to take the first
bloom Oft a silk petticoat. Two weeks ago
her maiden aunt sent her a silk muslin
gown of blue. IL was the sort OF gown that
must be worn over a silk petticoat, and a
purple one obviously wouldn't do at ALL
The girl didn't hesitate for an instant She
merely went out and bought little gaso-
line With Ii she removed from the purple
skirt the traces of its three wearings Then
she bundled IL up. took 1t back TO the shop
and calmly exchanged IL for q petticoat of
the proper shade Of blue. The shop people
made no objection. They didn't even un-
wrap the bundle in which the girl had done
up the skirt / fancy. however that when
they did unron IT and shifted the gasoline

One Woman's Way.

Chicago Post.
In Milwaukee, at talk on city improve
ment, or public art. or something of the
kind, after many glittering generalities one
businesslike woman put the whole of femi-
when she declared that after all their COM
mittee's principal occupation was "to nag
the mayor" If the Civic Federation or the
Municipal Voters League were equally
honest they would take her words for a
motto. And that valiant dame nagged to
some purpose. In the city where she lived
wild horses would not drag it's name from
paving near her house. She wrote urgent
letters about il to the mayor, the commits
sioner of public works, the street inspector,
the alderman from her ward and everyone
who might seem ever so remotely connect
ed with IL.
She waited two days. Strange to say. the
pavement remained unmended. Then she
called up each of these gentlemen in sue
cession over the telephone and asked il
they had received her letter and what they
meant to do about it. The next day she
called them all up again. After that she
made a business of 1t. Every two hours
she sat before her telephone and called
cheerfully through IL, Good morning. /

difficulty which the guide-book does
not help is the attempt to share expenses
when two or three persons are travelling
together. An excellant plan which we
found saved us much time and temper
was the use of a common purse, which
was handed to the head arithmetician and
spokesman of the party. Each of us put in
the purse equal amount, calculated to
last during the day, or excursion, and d.
vided whatever was left over when one of
the party left us, or when we wished to
make up our individual accounts Instead
of disputing each time whose turn it was
to pay for tickets, or trying to divide a
fee of cents among five persons, it was
all done from the common fund, and en-
tered as sum total for the days expenses
Money values in different countries vary
so widely that it is almost maddening to
make any computation, while to calculate
how much one Is spending in American
money seems hopeless. This is simplified
by fixing in ones mind some special or gen.
eral amount, and its relation to our own
money. For example, If one never forgets
twenty francs equal four dollars, or that
twenty marks equal five dollars, or that
ten gulden equal four dollars, one can
readily tell, approximately, how much one

American Women Revealed.


The booming of books seems to be
process peculiarly American. Germany
publishes every year five times as many
books the United States, yet no one
hears of phenomenal sales of German
book. Even in England, where publishing
methods and the reading public are nearer
like our own, they are not little aghast
at some OF our extraordinary performances
in the enormous dispersion of books which
are clearly not the works of bowling ge-
muses.. One English writer explains the
phenomenon by the sentimentalism and
eagerness to be instructed of the Amer
lean woman. Without subscribing to his
viewS-we dare motive quote a part of
what he says: ut is fitting to remark of
the American woman that she has a mag
nihcent future. In the meantime she can
not gainsay her Ladies' Home Journal
which stands as absolutely irrefutabIe evil
dence both for and against her. She is
there in its pages utterly revealed-the
woman of the culture clubs. the woma n
who wistfully adniires the p-ofiles of star

New York Commercial Advertiser.
And now a woman has invented a pneu-
matte model. which is likely to cause thou
sands OF her sisters to rise up and call her
blessed. 1t consists OF an infiatable bag
Of thin rubber. bearing somewhat distant
resemblance TO the feminine form divine.
IL is attached to an air pump and is ca
pable OF being inflated to fill any belt from
sixteen to forty inches. This is how it
works:
A woman leaves her measure for a tailor
made suit. From this measure a stout lin
ing-forming the pattern for the bodice-is
made, and into this, like the inner tube of
q bicycle tire, is placed the pneumatic
form. Then the air is forced in until every
part Of the waist pattern is filed out. The
rubber form takes the exact shape Of the
lining, which is then used as model upon
which TO secure perfect fit. The average
woman who has stood during a dress
fitting will unhesitatingly pronounce this
pneumatic model a boon" In the cate
CORY OF annoyances and miseries women
usually place the dentists chair first and
getting a dress fitted second; all other
things being considered minor. Now the
pneumatic model has eliminated the second
of these evils.
But think of the advantage of this device
to the patient, long-suffering dressmaker.
The pneumatic model never loses its tenn
per; IL never yells when pin sticks il, Il
does not grow sarcastic and say mean
things If the sartorial artist seems slow in
getting the proper fit, and il will stand ali
DAY without murmur. Besides, ii Will not
insist upon being attended TO first when
half dozen others are equally demanding
prompt attention. II IL gets little out OF
form few strokes of the air pump restore
symmetry and it runs no risk of apoplexy
if a thirty-inch waist is under contract TO
go inside twenty-four-inch pattern. Here
after dress-htting, thanks to the pneumatic
model, will be as pleasurable to the fair
sex is the position of center rush on
bargain day.
