AMERICAN BREAKFAST.

A new writer on social topics thinks
that the growth among wealthy people
of the custom of owning two or three
homes has already begun to lessen the
love of Americans for home. since,
possessing so many. they have time for
enjoying none in particular. This is
the theory on which the sultan is sup
posed to care for none OF his wives.
especially since he is embarrassed by
possessing so many. But the English
families of wealth who have for gen.
erations possessed homes in various
parts of their own country have never
been accused of lacking the feeling for
home.
In any case, the love of home is go
ing to linger in the hearts of most
Americans if it is to be expelled only
by the possession of several estab-
lishments in various parts OF the coun-
try There are many Americans still
who have struggled hard enough for
one home to cherish it.
A greater danger, in that it spreads
over a wide area of society, seems to
lie in the gradual abolition of that
national custom, once SO popular, the
American breakfast. That has all but
disappeared in the East and in the
larger cities of the country. Now the
continental, as it used to be called, or
the very light breakfast of coffee and
rolls. prevails in most of the cities.

Broader Shoulders.

Athletics for women will receive
setback If further investigation proves
the truth of the theory that womens
waists grow smaller and their Shout
ders broader with exercise.
There are few women who object to
smaller waists, although the small
waist of decade ago is not thought
beautiful unless it is seen to be per-
fectly natural. A small waist that Is
the result of lacing has lost all it's
charm for women. Men never admir-
ed it.
Nor do men like the thick waist
The girl in the sweater with little or
no natural waist is not attractive to
them. They like a haIpy medium be-
tween the wasp and the waist that the
new woman has tried to make alluring.
The Objectionable part of the theory
referred to, which was started at a
Western college where measurements
of girl students were made, is not that
the waists grow smaller, but that the
shoulders broaden. This statement Is
enough to fill with disgust for athletic
sport any woman who knows what the
elements of a good figure are.
The notion that, after all, sport of
too violent a character may not be
conducive to greater beauty in woman
has grown stronger during the past
year or two. and only moderate exer-
else has been recommended to women

is on the doubters. Mrs. Walker has
triumphed, and at the wave of Mrs.
Paget's hand Mrs. Walker attained the
goal for which all mummers strive.
She was commanded" to cake walk
before the king. In all history no sing
er or dancer of this order has ever been
exalted by one of these royal COM

dusky tint the honor is magnified. Nor
was this all. A future king, little
Prince Edward, shook hands with the
black dancer. 1It was a very nice

those words will forever be treasured
by the woman whose forefathers la

Mrs. Levi u. Letter, there would have

Letter and Mrs. Gates were friends in
Chicago years ago before they became
women of national Importance. This
was before Miss Mary Letter became
Lady CurZon of KedleStone and before
Mr.. Gates became a financial power in
Wall street. Mrs. Gates is an amiable-
looking woman, stout and smiling, and
would be the last person on earth to
attract attention. At times her clothes
are startling, but, as a rule, she con-
fines herself to subdued colors She has
adopted fashionable fads quite natu-

in Europe this spring she appeared at

little anecdotes concerning Mrs. Letter.
Here is one of them Once in Wash
ington Mrs. Letter was entertaining
Gen. Phil Sheridan. When the gen.
eral attacked the oysters he used a
large fork instead of the dainty silver
affair intended for that purpose. Mrs
Letter observed ooh, general, you
should use the tiny fork for oysters
At this one of the daughters uttered a
deprecating, "Oh. mammal" Don't say
a word" said Mrs. Letter. 1T was all
right for me to give the general that
tip I am sure / am always grateful
when any one corrects my husbands
table manners"
Speaking of Lady Curzon an Eng
lish woman said: TT is utterly absurd
to refer to her as the vice refine of
India. She Is no more vice refine than
Mrs. Roosevelt is presidentess.
There is no such title acknowledged at
court and she holds no official position
whatever. OF course, as the wife of the
viceroy of India she is accounted the
first lady ON Indian soil. but vice refine
is a coined term and means absolutely
nothing. 1 believe in the days of the
French kingdom the viceroys Of the
French dependencies saluted their
wives as vice reines, but this does not
apply to English titles in the least"

borhood near Boston in which CO.
operation fiourishes was a Specula-
ton by the owner of some land He
built a group of very pretty houses
around a court in the middle of which
was the large kitchen and dining room
where several servants did the work
for all the houses. Here exceedingly
nice meals were served at an amount
a triie less than it would cost the
housekeeper if she had a high-priced
cook and two or three housemaids.
Each household had a maid-if one
was wanted-but they never had to
give a thought to their kitchens or
their tables, and each family could
have a private dining room if desired.
In this small colony there was also a
club stable, managed on the co-opera-
tive plan. where the horses of the
householders could be stabbed for
much less money than it takes pri-
vately.
Whether this plan could be success
full here is a question. There is an
other way to lessen housework. and
this is the serving of cooked meals
from a restaurant. This is done in
other places. One cafe somewhere
has a regular wagon service to houses
of cooked meals. For each house there
is a small tin cupboard-we will call it
that for want of better name-and in
1t is sent the dinner, luncheOn or
breakfast to customers. The house
keeper then merely serves it and is
saved the drudgery of cooking. One
such restaurant was started in this
city a year or two ago. but was not
patronized by enough houses to make
it a success. Bread and cake are
about the only food one can buy ready
made in this city. In Europe-Ger-
many especially-the butcher shops
keep cooked meats on hand, and over
there it is always possible to get up
a very decent meal in this way. In
st. Paul ham is the only cooked meat
one can buy. Los Angeles, Cal. has
earned the name of the Paper Bag
City" because so many of the tran
silent visitors take rooms and then buy
their meals and take them home in
paper bags. In that city the restau-
rants make a specially of selling cook
ed foods.
st. Paul must do something pretty
soon if the servant famine continues.
One of the latest demands of cooks in
this city is for a telephone in the
kitchen. and not long ago cook left

Men as Launderers.

In many of the fashionable New
York houses the family washerwoman
has been superseded by the family
washerman. He goes to a family for
two or three days each week. as the
case may be. washes and irons the
family linen and gets well paid for it.
This. according to the manager of
new method" laundry on the West
side, is because the WaSherman can
get through more work in less time
than the washerwoman. and also be-
cause the men in the family like the
idea Of having their shirts done at
home.
Then. if there is any fault to be
found with torn buttonholes or with
designs ironed all crooked on a color

on the premises
Every few women are strong enough
to iron a shirt" proprietor of laun-

No shirt ironer could work steadily at

ut is quite true that a number of
New York families prefer men to do
their home washing instead of women.
But 1t is also true that many good
shirt irOners are unable TO handle the
lighter garments as we'll as women,
and that they are glad to get back to
shop work.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Coffee to be iced should be made
very strong. An allowance OF two ia
blespoonsful to each person is not too
much. A good recipe calls for the
yolk and shell of one egg to be allowed
each cup. Mix the coffee and the egg
in bowl and add one cup of cold
water. Then add six cups of freshly
boiled water and set on the fire to
boil five minutes. Pour over shaved
ice In tall glasses, while the coffee is
hot. Sweeten and add whipped cream.
Iced tea. on the other hand, is bet
ter If allowed to cool before bringing
to the table. OF course. 1T should have
been poured off of the leaves as soon
as it had properly STEPPED. Never be
so ill-adviSed as to shake iced tea in a

restaurants. The tea is simply ruin

for 1t is the rapid and very complete
cooling which is achieved.

The soup must be cream of some

fish course should be lobster in some
form. Tomatoes for the salad course
suggest themselves. and if a mayon-
aise is served, let it be made with lem

combined with whipped cream. This
makes a delicate white dressing.
