such things for not half so good reason.
when Making Soup.
To leave the soup kettle uncovered
while the soup is boiling is to sacrifice
much of it's most delicate flavor and TO
lose that peculiar nutritive and digestible
property present In dishes cooked with all
their steam tightly closed in upon them.
Cover the soup kettle steam tight and
boil 1t gently from one side if you want
good soup.
Advantages of Country for Working
= Girl.
The girl who as bookkeeper, clerk,
stenographer, milliner or teacher in her
village home receives a weekly salary OF
FIVE, six or seven dollars, is far better of
financially than the girl in the same oc-
cupations in the city who gets nine, ten
or twelve dollars a week. In the first
place, the living expenses are much
smaller in the country than in the city
one gets very much more for her money
in the way Of home comforts; the wear
and tear OF, clothing is much less, and
as a rule the work less harassing to the
nerves, since there is not the same hurry
and rush, keeping brain and nerves
stretched to the tightest possible tension,
so that after the days work is over one
is too tired to go in search Of enjoyment.
Working long hours at muscle weary
ing, brain-wearing, nerve-rasping tasks
in shops, offices, counting rooms and
stores causes the city working girls to
long for rest above everything else, and
in itself precludes the chances of her
making desirable outside ,acquaintances
except such as may be offered through
church affiliations, and even these sRe is
too tired to improve.
To Improve Tomato salad.
Few people who enjoy salad of to-
matoes know how vastly they are inn
proved by the addition of a little thyme.
This may be added in the form Of the
powdered leaves spread ON the tomatoes
and allowed to stand in the iceboX for a
few hours, or if fresh thyme leaves are
to be obtained they may be thrown into
a preserving bottle, covered with vinegar
and allowed to stand for few weeks.
After the aroma has been taken up by
the vinegar it is best to strain it off. For
the purpose Of keeping the aromatic vine
gar, old beer bottles, the kind that have
attached rubber tipped corks, are very
good

Alice Stone Blackwell, is not an orator,
but she is writer of great force She
is the terror of the anti-suffragists. No
one can demolish their arguments as can
she. She is college woman, she reads
several languages, French about as readily
as English. She has given a great deal
of her time to the question of the Ar
menians in this country, and has recently
written much and ably On the question Of
the state regulation of vice in the Philip
pines.
Mrs. Avery's Successor.
Of the other officers a special interest
will center in the efficient corresponding
secretary, Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery from
the fact that she is to withdraw from
the place she has so long filled with con-
spicuous ability and fidelity. The mat
ter of choosing her successor viii be one
of the most difficult and important tasks
of the convention as the duties of the
position are next in responsibility to
those of the president, and are very ar
duous. Miss Kate Gordon, president Of
the Louisiana association, has been sug-
gested by those who have given the mat
ter thought. Miss Gordon is the bFillian
young New Orleans woman who a year
or two ago aided in securing the franchise
for tax-paying women at the constitu-
tional convention Of that state. AS soon
as this had been secured the question of a
proper drainage and water system for
the city, which had been pending for
years, was reopened, through the initia-

CONFIDENTIAL ADVISERS
A Unique Feature in Two Eastern
Dry Goods Houses.


The 'social secretary in large dry goods
houses is one of the innovations growing out
of the needs of the times and the advance
of sociological work. Mrs. Cushman Wheeler
mas held such place in a New England
town for more than year. At first she was
regarded with suspicion by the employees for
whose help she was engaged, but gradually
as they came to understand the real purpose
of her position they turned to her in their
perplexities One result has been that on
stormy afternoons the girls are allowed to
so nome early; another, that from small
fines for tar6iness and other delinquencies
a sick fund has been established, and IS a
week has beer paid in, cases of one or two
months illness Mrs. Wheeler visits the
weak and erring, and acts as judge and jury
in cases of complaint. Through her efforts
a farmhouse has been found where girls
needing rest may regain their health. Mrs.
Wheeler gives practical talk every Satur-
day morning, one-third Of the girls being
spared from the counters each week to listen
to her.
Similar TO her position is that of Mrs.
Minerva B. Tobey, of a Boston dry goods
store Mrs Tobey talks to and advises the
girls regarding their health, listens to COM
PLANTS, comforts those in trouble, and in
every way endeavors to place them in har-
mony with their position and environment
Both women act as a medium between the
girls and their firms.

NEW SHIRT WAISTS.
They Show Great Variety in Color
and Style.

The new shirt waists are varied indeed; but
the variety is accomplished mostly by the
modes of trimming and the great diversity
in material Used. The bishop sleeve. in
modified edition, prevails and the yoke has
disappeared altogether. No embroidery is
too fine for the dainty white waists, and
there are chemisettes, and vests, undersleeves
and frills 10 make them dressy.
The Aiglon shirt bears out the name quite
as well as any, but the material used Is so
exguisitely fine that it hardly suggests
shirt. Finest white batiste, sheer and soft,
tucked all over in quarter-inch tucks. make
a very pretty Aiglon shirt. 1t is full and
long in front to give the full blouse effect
and ties down from the under arm seam
instead of being sewn into belt. Down one
side of the front there are two gathered
frills Of batiste either with hemstitched or
lace edges.

was followed all through the week with
preaching every morning to Christians ON
'highcr and deeper spiritual life" and at

peculiarly impressive at the beginning of
