wish 10 tell how | make my mop.
1t is my own invention and far supe-
rior, think. to the mops we find in
tie stores. It has Il light wood handle
about ten inches long, an inch in diam
etcr 1T he bottom and little smaller
at the top. Take Uuhleachod thin mus
lin or amy other suitable cloth and cut
four circular pieces about ten inches
across. Now cut circular hole in the
middle of the cloth large enough to 30
over the top and not large enough to
slip of; then get small metal ring
from the hardware store just large
enough to slip over the cloth and hold
it tight on the handle. This mop is
easily kept clean and fresh, as the
cloth can be removed to he washed
and dried or renewed as often as de
sired. 1t is convenient to have several
sizes for the various uses to which
mops are put. Any small boy will be
delighted to make these for you by the

enjoys the distinction Of being not only
an author and musical composer, but
also the organizer of the first woman's
club in America.
When Mrs Runcie returned to Indi-
ana after pursuing studies abroad, she
was twenty-five years old, and club
for women was something unhcard of.
But with her peculiar inventive genius
she gathered the women about her and
organized a thoroughly equipped club,
which she called the Minerva club.
And this initial club, founded in 1859,
had for its purpose. as the usual wo-
mans club has today, the intellectual
and social advancement and improve

Besides the Minerva club, Mrs. Run

Light fur rugs can quite easily be

THE COOKBOOK.

In making any sauce put the flour
and butter in together, and your sauce
will not be lumpy.
\ heavy salad is always out of place
in an elaborate dinner. Mayonnaise is
permissible, but French dressing is
better
If corned beef is very red, which
means it is very salt put it to cook in
cold water. This draws out a portion
of the salt.
When croquette mixtures are too wet
to mold and shape, put in more chop
ped meat or fish or in a desperate case
finely pounded breadcrumbs.
In making custard for lemon pies it
is better to partly bake the crust be-
fore adding the mixture so that it may
not be absorbed by the paste.
Gingerbread is improved by adding
to it, when mixing, a cupful of chop
ped prunes. Use the juice of the
prunes instead of water and mix the
dough 4 little sitter.

The Woman who Attracts.

The woman who carries herself well
is more apt to command respect than
the woman who trudges along with her
head inclined forward and her shout
ders in Il STOPPING position. The pos
SCISSOR of a graceful, erect carriage I'M
consciously impresses US as having
characteristic worth. There are many
noble hearted women who really do
themselves injustice by the awk ward
way they carry themselves 1t is hard
for others to see beauty and grace of
heart in an unlovely outward appear
ance. 1t is the exterior charm of the
rose that gives fitting expression to its
hidden sweetness. Although there are
many beautiful women with worth
less hearts, still that fact does not
weaken the other fact that spiritual
nobleness and a fair body are a con-
sistcnt harmonious association. Ev-
erything that appertains to the eleva-
ton of the soul affects for the better
the aspect of the body, identifying and
refining it. Just as rare jewels need
fitting Baskets to rest in, so it is only
meet that lovely souls should be in
closed in bodies that are beautiful and
fair.

Art o. Dress.

The art of dress can do wonders for
woman, and those who scott at their
sisters who give so much attention to
their personal appearance are making
a big mistake. says the Washington

ones entire time to dress, but every
woman should give it some thought.

The first consideration for the wom-
an who must call in art to assist her to
make her figure attractive is the fit of
the undcrgarments and corsets.
No dress can set well nor can fig
ure be graceful when badly fitted I'M
dcrgarments and corsets are worn.
These will indeed destroy the charm
of the most perfect figure.
Women in general wear too many
undergarments. Undoubtedly the best
wear is woven combination suits
which cling to the figure and cause no
undue fullness. The limbs are thus
perfectly free and thoroughly protect
ed. The corScts should he worn di-
rcctly over this suit, and in extremely
cold weather silk. satin or sateen
boomers may be worn; otherwise a
single petticoat, preferably lined one,
with a fitted yoke, win be found ample.
