Girls and Their Figures.

Stiff corsets are unknown in France.
French corsets are always supple and
bendable, and this much accounts for the
ease of French figures, which are never
frightened excepting at the waist leaving
the bust and hips quite free. In England
the figure is usually frightened in too much
at the bust and hips. which gives too
straight a look to the figure and makes It
stiff and uncomfortable, movement being
rendered ungraceful by this stiffness.
Let any girl try to lace her stays only
at the waist and let her select her stays
as soft and light as possible, and then see
if her figure be not as graceful in shape
and as elastic as the most graceful and
elastic French figure. No tight straight
down, even lacing will ever make a pretty
figure.
If the corset cannot be made expressly to
suit the figure, then let it be laced only in
the middle al the waist. Even then no real
corset should be worn by girls until they
are well in their teens. Remember, the
softer the corset is the easier it will be,
and the tighter it may be laced at the
waist without feeling uncomfortable. This
is the only way to mold the figure, as II is
said, without injuring the health.

Spinach. which the French people aptly
term the broom of the stomach" is one
of the most delicate as well as healthful of
all the pot greens; while so readily does it
respond to the attention of the market
gardener that it can usually be found in
the markets the whole year round Spinach
is one of the vegetables that improve by
being warmed over. Indeed the French
housewife usually cooks it by the quantity
locking forward to its relocating. 1t is re-
lated of Brillat-Savarn that after his cook
had warmed it over for him thirteen times
he was so much gratifed by its improve
ment that he declared he would never eat
it again until it had received its thirteen
consecutive warnings. Like the majority
of pot green's, spinach should be banched,
and like the rest, first thoroughly looked
over and washed. Cut off all the stalks
and after looking over the leaves put them
in large pan or tub of cold water. Plunge
them up and down to remove the sand then
lift the leaves out into a second pan of
water. Do not attempt to drain the water
Off as that leaves the sediment which has
sunk to the bottom. Rinse yet third time

water for fifteen or twenty minutes. Drain
it into cold water and when cold drain
again. Put the leaves in a chopping bowl
and cut fine. Have ready in a spider or

the spinach, season with salt and pepper
and a little cream. if desired-in which case
less butter will be needed. Heat thoroughly
and serve on a hot dish, surrounded by
toasted bread points. The yo.k of hard
boiled egg put through a ricer over the
mounded spinach makes an effective and
arpetiZing garnish.
An excellent encaustic used by the French
for polishing floors is made of one pound
of beeswaX and one pint of turpentine.
Melt the wax in a water bath of gentle
heat When quite soft remove from the fire
and heat In the turpentine until it assumes
the consistency of paste. This polish, 1t
must be remembered. is extremely inf1am-
mable. and great care must be taken in
mixing 1t not to allow it to come in contact
with the fire. When ready to use melt over
the register or in a pan of warm water I'M
til it Is soft as butter. Spread a thin layer
over the cloth-cOvered brick begin at one
corner and polish in lengths, letting the
new row overlap enough to avoid showing
a streak. The corners have to be done with
a flannel cloth, and on the knees If there
are black spots on the floor put on oxalic
acid first then polish. Bad spots NAV be
rubbed off with steel wool.
Much labor may be saved in the care of
frottoir, or weighted brush. As these are a
great expense to buy, an excellent substi-
tute may be made at home by covering a.
brick with carpet and catching 1t in a
clamp with long handle used for scrub

of warning against the wholesale use of old
rags for cleaning PURPOSES 1t is a false
economy to furnish domestcs with frayed
busters Unity towels and rnops and scrub
bling cloths which fall to pieces in the
using. A good share of the plumbers bills
against which we nyeigh so bitterly come
by reason of these very rags and shreds,
which soon clog the pipes leading from
bath and sinks. Before commencing the
spring cleaning the wise woman will see to
it that an abundance of whole cleaning
cloths. suitable for windows. woodwork
and floors, are in readiness. an that as
each days work is finished the cloths are
.washed out and dried ready for the next
day.
The secret of having croquettes firm and
not grease-soaked lies in their being mixed
for at least two hours before using. The
meat should be chopped very fine. being
freed first from every particle of fat and
griste. Allow to each pint of the meat one
half pint scalded milk one tablespoonful Of
butter. two tablespoonful of flour, a table,
spoonful OF chopped parsley; teaspoon
full of salt. a half teaSpoonful of pepper,
quarter teaspoonful of nutmeg or grated
lemon peel, as preferred, and a teaspoonful
of onion juice. Cook the butter and -four
together. add the milk little by little until
you have thick. smooth paste. The sea-
soned meat is then added to the white sauce
mixed thoroughly, and the whole turned out
to cool. When ready to use, mold into GRO
quotes. dip first in beaten egg, then in fine
bread crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat.

den hats, plain sailors and stitched white
canvas hats can replace them.
AT an opening in one of the shops noted
for its spring hats a turban of Tuscan
straw was much admired. Tuscan, you re-

the trimming on this turban was of vary

ribbon brocaded in the same color Were

the trimming always rests, were punches

Another turban shown at this shop on
the same day was of cream net, Tuscan
pattern. beautifully crumpled into the tur-
ban shape. ''Crumpled' is perhaps an I'M
tidy word, but one cannot model hats as one
does clay, and they are manipulated too
much to be merely shaped. But to return
to the trimming of this turban. 1t was
simply folds of pale green and violet lib

over the left side was single orchid of the
