The most natural thing for a wife and
mother to do in this day Of cheap hosiery
is to toss WORKOUT stockings aside, and
thus miss the opportunity of utilizing

contribute largely to the household con-
Veniences if given a few simple directions
about making use of the old stockings.
The first thing is to cut the foot off, just
above the heel, or If the seam is parting
above this point, cut the leg off until the
seam ceases to break. Then split the leg
at the seam, sew two legs Of the same
size together in the form of a bag, turn
them inside out and then turn in, whip

Debt.
Mrs. Bidwell, the widow of General Bid
well Of California, has accomplished what
perhaps no other woman has done, or has
set herself to- do.
BY clever management of the tangled
up estate General Bidwell left at his
death, several years ago, Mrs. Bidwell
has paid $450.000 to the creditors of her
husband, who left only his land and his
debts when he died. 81 r. g..
Mrs. Bidwell determined that the debts
should be paid, altho much Of the beauti-
full Bidwell ranch, the most famous estate
In California, must be sacrificed to pay
them. She cut the land into town lots
and small farms, and herself managed the
sale Of the property, until she has just
completed the payment of the S450,000
debt and retains the beautiful old home

WHAT WOMEN
: WANT TO KNOW

BY Marion Alcott Prentice.
Using Rose Pastel trim my nails a.
little every day, but in spite Of my
care they look dull and horrid. How
can I give them a pretty polish?-
Violet.
I would suggest that instead of trim
ming the nails little every day, you
manicure your nails thoroly twice each
week then by using the orange wood stick
and buffer daily, they will keep in ex-
cellent condition. To obtain a pretty
polish you should apply a little rose
paste to each nail before sprinkling on
the. powder. Grasp the buffer firmly
and rub the nails to the desired polish,
being careful, however, not to overdo
this part ffthe work, as highly polished
nails are not considered good form.
After a little practice you will be able
to strike the right stage Of polish. You
will proceed more. rapidly and without
danger Of bruising the nails if the
finger tips are held firmly together, Civ,
ing the polishing touches in long
! strokes. To make the rose paste melt
four drachms of white wax and stir
in two drachms of powdered carmine
30 drops oil Of bergamot, and 20 drops
Of essence Of cyprus. The preparation
may be purchased ready compounded at

Year.
Three ex-college girls, thirty-nine glass
hoWerhouses and one million roses a year
are the outward and visible signs Of a
successful experiment in bread-and-
winning near Wilkesbarre, Pa.
The three young girls are active part
ners in firm consisting of four persons.
Their experiment is of interest to all
women called upon to support themselves
or to add to the household income.
Eighteen or twenty years ago Benjamin
Dorrance, a successful lawyer and owner
of a large estate at Dorranceton, Pa,
found himself obliged, on account of eye
trouble, to abandon his law practice.
| The various branches Of farming which
| he took, up after his retirement from the
| bar failed to "pay,'' and about 1885, at
the advice Of a friend, Mr.. Dorrance de-
! cided to undertake rose-growing on a
small scale.
The two Dorrance girls, then at Vassar,
took a deep and active interest in the
plan. On graduating from college they
entered the firm as full Pledged partners,
and devoted themselves, mind and body,
to the work. A college chum, Miss Fran
ces Markham, was also taken into part
nership.

For it has been successful. The bush

each year are sufficient proof of that.
The roses are grown for money, and
money they make; but the money is only
a part of the plan. The courageous girls

women would be hard to imagine.

There is plenty Of hard work, mental an(

FLAMMARION'S BARBER

The wife of Camille Flammarion, the
astronomer, never allows any one to cut
her husbands hair but herself, and she
uses the shorn locks for pillows. Her home
in Paris is full Of pillows stuffed with
such clippings. Telescopes, heliometers,
sextants, astrolabes and other astronom-
ical instruments are scattered all about
among them.
The Examinations were married thirty
years ago, taking their bridal tour in a
balloon. In all the time since then the
wife has been veritable helpmeet to iaer
husband. She not only makes observa-
lions and calculations but measures the
distances Of stars for him. At the OBJ
servatory of Juvisy, which she helped him
establish, she made studies of the planet
Mars. &

burne: The museum was established
by Miss Jane Addams to help the
skilled craftsmen Of the old world who
have been thrown out of their environ
ment and who are too often despised
by their own children because they
cannot adapt themselves to the new
conditions. Miss Addams proposed to
place them in an artifcially created in
dustrial environment, which would
make plain to themselves, to their chill
dren and. to the casual sightseer, the
true Importance and dignity of labor.
How the plan was worked out and it's
success is well told by Mrs. Washburne.
