In this matter of the woman's. clubhouse
New York is far behind many another city.
Philadelphia's New century Club has a
charming home all of its very own. In
Woman's Temple; London its Women's In
stitute. Many of the small cities boast
beautiful club homes, the pride of the town,
and built solely through the enterprise of
women. In one such instance the shares
were put at so low a figure that the poor
est member Of the most democratic organi-
cation might invest in at least one share.
II was interesting at the opening of this
clubhouse to see some of the stockholders
going round picking out their bricks. Il
own a brick or two" was the way of eX-
pressing that they held but a few shares.
The trouble with the New York club wom-
en- is that they lack esprit de corps. Or
CARNATIONS, no less than individuals, are
lacking in this, and when it comes to such
an undertaking as building a clubhouse the
lack stands out like writing on the wall.
When it's a woman's clubhouse, esprit de
corps is even more needed to hold the
bricks together than mortar.

will appreciate a slice Of lime instead,
which will give a deliciously piquant flavor.
In length the skirts seem to have lost
nothing, and are quite as long as ever for
house wear and for all dressy occasions.
In colors all the fawn shades are popular,
and so are the dark and the rather faded
light blues and the pink reds or red pinks,
whichever you choose to call them.
There are three distinct features of fash
ion which have prevailed for some time
now, and as yet there Is no prospect OF any
decrease in their popularity. These are the
clcse-htting skirt, the blouse bodice and the
boiero, which prove again that fashion can
be loyal to the best of her productions.
A feature of skirts shown among the new
models is the inch-wide tucks directly at
the hem. There may be as many as eight
or nine, and they are made very effective
by piping the edges with silk of a bright
contrasting color. For example, on a navy
blue nuns yelling the piping is of finely
striped silk of several colors, cut bias.
Milliners clean soiled wings that accu-
mulate in their stock by shaking them
gently in a box of white corn meal, brush
ing all the meal out carefully with a fine
brush. White aigrettes are cleaned by
washing them gently in warm soapsuds
made from good soap, rinsfng in cold water,
and shaking them dry over a fire.
There is simply no limit to the variety of
pretty and picturesque dress sleeves for the
two seasons before us. There are also many
plain coat styles which extend into grace
full little cuffs that flare over the hand. but
which are given variety on gowns of sum
mer fabric by numberless dainty finishings
at the wrist and by vertical lines of tuck
ing, insertion, scalloped edges up the out,
side of the arm, with a narrow putting OF
contrasting fabric showing between from
shoulder to elbow or to the wrist on longel
sleeves; and this very satisfactory variety
admits of making up in a becoming fashion
for every arm, which is more than can be
said Of styles Of other years.

To De a Good Housekeeper.

Octave Thanet, in Good Housekeeping.
My dear friends. in regard to housekeep-

lot of ability; also experience, also knowl-
edge. also horse sense. And the most nee
essary and greatest of these is horse sensel
A good housekeeper needs to have a
working acquaintance with most Of the
trades, to be a bit of a carpenter and
painter and a good bit of a plumber, for
steam and water can do most amazing and
alarming things in the modern house of a
Sunday when the plumber is either saving
his soul or taking his ease and his pleas

by the telephone. She needs to understand
the dreadful unsanitary possibilities of tidy
kitchens and immaculate bathrooms. OF
course her taste has TO be cultivated or

Things because her furnishings are mere
tricious;' and there is so much taste and
art knowledge about now that the humb-
lest or us cannot escape. And as much as
anything does she need to understand how
to rule her household helpers.

A NEW CLASS OF NURSES.
They Supplement the Work of the
Professional Nurse.
Leslie's Weekly.

Leslie weekly.
A comparatively new occupation for
young women has been opened recently
under the name of convalescent nursing.
The idea is not to enter into competition
or rivalry with the professional nurses, So
called, but rather TO supplement the work
of the professional class, or fill a place
which they do not or cannot we'll fill. The
recognized feature in the hospital service
and wherever else sick and suffering hui
mainly is to be found, and her calling
ranks almost as high now in the public re-
gard as the medical profession itself. In
all critical cases the services Of a trained

quired to go through a course of special
training in schools and hospitals lasting
through a period Of three or four years

high. so much so as to be quite prohibitive
to the majority Of people and within the
reach of many others for only "A brief
period OF time. Professional nurses are
often retained only through the critical
stages of a disease or a surgical case, al
though good nursing OF a kind is very
much needed all through the subsequent
convalescent stage, which may extend over
weeks or months. 1t is not a high degree
of technical skill which is required during
this period so much as a general know1-
edge of the art OF nursing and the little
attentions and caretaking which every
convalescent needs to insure the speediest
return to full health. 1t is just here that
the usefulness and availability OF the con-
valescent nurse, the new class, comes in.
The required training for this service ex-
tends over only eight weeks. the expense
for preparation is correspondingly small,
and the rates c-orrespondingly low, being
only about one-third that charged by the
professionals

The Summer Hats.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
Crowding the fancy Milan braids. chips.
satin straws, Leghorns, Dunstables, ETC.,
are the most summer-like of lace, net, tulle
and chiffon hats, trimmed with large single
orchids, peoples. roses and other blossoms,
and also with more elaborate montures of
flowers that are made TO look a bit wiIted
to complete the deception, and as if just
ready TO shower down their petals at the
first breeze. The choicest of the airy French
round hats for full-dress uses are triumphs
of artistic grace beyond description. There
is also a host of pretty lace StrawS in black
and colors. which furnish endless unique
fancies for the milliner-gypsies, shep-
herdess and plaque shapes, draped with
tulle and trimmed with choux of the same,
and clusters of the daintiest of spring fol-
iage and blossoms. Toques and turbans
made of the finest openwork braids are
decked with flowers that bloom in every
season, and lowering over some Of these
fragile blooms are emerald beetles, butter
flies with wings of transparent gauze, and
even bumblebees, with their black and yell
low heads ducked in white or pink clover
tops. Flies, both little and large, are now
initiated to perfection. The brims of some
OF the hats are so plant that they can be
bent here and there at Will, as found most
becoming, or simply turned up fiat at one
side, faced with dark velvet, then covered
with Hover sprays and foliage, or draped
with chiffon or gauze. A pretty Tyrolean
shape has the side of the brim thus turned,
and trimmed with a trail of shaded green
hops and a bunch of palest green hazel
nuts, intermixed with a drapery of chiffon,
the shade of the deepest tint of the hops.
Some Of the new hats are again absurdly
large, with piles of trimming heaped Upon
both crown and brim. Often II is one
enormous bunch of roses and foliage, which
looks as if it had been flung at the wearer
and fastened where it fell. The tulle dra-
peries which again veil some of the flowers
on spring and summer hats look like an
~afterthought, and are a dainty and becom-
ing addition.

"How much trashy ornament we have
all around us nowadays said a clubwom-
an the other day when discussing the dec
grafton of the home. Things that are in
appropriate, materials that are misused,
are in bad taste. L know an educated,
sensible woman who gave another refined
woman a red velvet banjo, with satin
trimmings and gold strings. Think of it.
Did you ever hear OF anything so atrocious?
l. was good for nothing. You couldn' even
stick pins in it. Yet plenty of things in
just as bad taste are piled high on fancy
goods counters and are everywhere at fairs
and bazaars, training us really TO like the
things we should not like.
Inappropriate, and, therefore,, inartistic,
are many Of the things on our tables. Coal
souttles for sugar receptacles, owls with
punctured heads for salt and pepper are
but two of these monstrosities. Every
time htsee one of these birds with its head
all picked Open, and out Of which falls
salt for my eating. it gives me the horrors.
No workman can take any pleasure in
making such things. and we should con-
ssder the worker, too, when giving our
sanction to things that are made by buy
ing them.
The law of beauty i'm decoration is fit
ness. Nothing compensates for the lack
OF 1t. Decoration should never interfere
with use. Our home is an expression OF
our reeds and our own state of cultiva-
ton. We see so much of the commonplace
around US that If we wish to get away
from it we must do as Goethe advises,
read a good poem, see a good picture and
hear one piece of good music, at least
every day. And in addition to this ]
would say, if you want to maxi your home
artistic and beautiful, study the best OF
thes4ast, ,xApd to advance as a people,
the atfst,Athe artisan and the public
must be in accord. They must come to-
gether."

OF the two say there So no lack or oppor-
unity I'm these lines. provided the woTan
has the necessary power and will take the
necessary trouble TO prove her right TO
something higher than a mediocre flace-
In handicrafts innumeraole the same rule
holds true. The women who can do any
one thing wei. enough SO that other people
are willing TO pay TO have it done can
ordinarily find that something to do.
Some indoor and sedentary occupations
are becoming overcrowded, but. while that
is true. a new line Of outdoor business Is
pressing itself upon the attention of wom-
en-. Every day is brought to our notice
the experience of women who are succcss-
full cultivators of the soil. Small fruit
growing IN fully twenty States OF the
Union is prosecuted by women. There are
instances of women who have supported
their families by the raising Of bees. IL
rightly developed there are fortunes IN
poultry. There are women dOing a pros
porous business on sheep farms. Inten-
sive agriculture that takes a very small
number Of acres and cultivates it scientific
ally, until every inch is made to yield its
proper product. Is getting the attention Of
experimenters. More than that, schools
are being established-of which the one at
Briarcliff. n. Y, is a foremost and notable
ex~ample-where young people may be
trained in the practical prosecution of all
such outdoor farm work.
L recommend unhesitatingIy to women
who have failed to secure proper indoor
work for their own support, that they turn
their attention TO what can be done with
a little patch of land. 1 am not unmindful
of the question that naturally arises as TO
where shall we get the land and how shall
we live until we lave succeeded in getting
results therefrom. That is another prob
lem which cannot be included in the linn
