One Won7an'S S Way.

A woman who has raised a houseful Of
young people, and has never had them
away for all summer in their lives, in
yariably laid down the following rules
at the beginning Of hot weather, When
violated the culprit was fined a penny,
and the scheme worked well. Here are
the rules:
First-A bad temper heats both the
owner and those within reach, so please
remember not TO get cross under any cir
cumstaGceS
Second-As the morning is the coolest
part OF the day, the breakfast table
should be pleasant and all the family
present IN order 10 get through neces-
sary duties early IN the day.
Thtrd-Those who remain at home all
day should be dressed, and leave the
bathtub free for those who come home
tred from work before the evening meal
FOurth-Ail disturbing or annoying ex-
periences suffered by the members of the
family are not TO be mentioned until
after that meal. Only pleasant subjects
shall be talked about during meal hours
and Tor the half hour preceding bedtime.
Fffth-dO not quarrel over who is 10
have the first glance at the newspapers
and magaZines-make out a regular or
Iconftcts
Sixth Remember that, although fresh
linen is always necessary, the laundress
also suffers from the heat, and deserves
q little consideration.
This same woman instituted also a
penny me Tor every spot dropped on her
tablecloths-a necessary consideration
when q large family is ant 10 be careless
and fruit Is in season, and as her young
people. like healthy boys and girls, loved
to race and tear about even in hot
weather with resulting additions to the
already overburdened mending basket.
the daughters either took turns week
about in reducing the pile, or else diYid-
ed the work evenly between them, with
the result that the discouraging pile of
torn and worn clothing was soon re-
duced.
This was an ideal household. and al
though the object of this article is not
70 moraliZe. it would be an excellent
| thing If every household learned TO dl-
vide its lakors. and its pleasures to min
inize the dlscomforts and narrowness of
the domestic routine both IN winter and
summer

A Nooeltp DreSs.

A bo-peep dress is made of pale pink
paper with a double border of big
roses. Make the full gathered skirt
with one border edging bottom, and the
other cut off entirely if the paper is
wide enough. But utilize this in the con-
struction Of the panniers, which should
be entirely OF the lowered part. Have
the bodice in suspender form, using 4
white lawn CAMP body for the founda-
ton. and putting on under-arm pieces
of the paper to make the waist seem
complete. Have all of the suspender
body but the f1ouncing bretelles of the
plain paper.
The founced hat should also be of the
plain paper with wreaths of paper roses.
and for ribbons for the crook cut the
plain IN even ribbon strips and put on
in a big bow. Big rosettes Of the same
are also pretty upon the slippers.
The daisy dress IS not highly sugges-
tibe Of that flower, but it is very pretty,
nevertheless. The skirt is of deep yell
low paper, gathered fun and hung with
Il peplum decoration OF long slim petals
in white. The caIyx of the flower is
represented by four green and wider
leaves hanging over these, and the low
necked short-sleeved yellow bodice has
a bertha in the same treatment

One Side Of kbe Question.

It has been repeatedly stated that, al
though wonen's work is quite the equal
10 that OF men, the scale of payment is
much lower. owing to the prejudice
which stIll exists in the minds OF men
against the encroachment OF women in
the labor market and 10 the competition
among women themselves on account or
The eyer-increasing number who are
forced 10 earn their own livelihood
AS a matter OF fact, however, except in
rare cases. womens work is not equal to
that of men. not because they are not
equally capable of doing il or do not un-
derstand IT, but because very few wom-
en- can be induced TO take their work Sc
riously, and Will not devote the time
necessary 10 perfecting themselves in n
until too late. 7 they enter the ranks
OF the workers as girls they do so in
nine cases out of ten simply 10 earn
sufficient money TO dress on until such
time as they shall be married.
A girl who learns shorthand and type
writing. for instance, rushes through a
three-months course al some school,
and gains q position IN an office with
the idea firmly fixed in her head that
she viii probably only be there for q
year or TWO. She takes no interest in
her work beyond getting II done as
with one eye on the clock until her hour
of release arrives, when she puts on her
hat and promptly sz8:gets everything
connected with the office
Her essential ambitions and interests
are all outside or IT; IL is merely an
irksome means OF obtaining extra
spending money; while every creature
IhaI wears trousers instead Of skirt is
viewed in the light OF possible hus-
band instead OF a co-worker. Then, II
the years go on and the hoped-for mar
Iiage does not take place, the girl drifts
into the middle-aged woman, drab, de-
spondent. and hopeless, content TO rub
along on the small pittance which keeps
her from actual want, but with no am
bItion and no interest in life.
IT, instead of starting with sucn
IDEAS. the girl begins her work, what
ever it may be, with The firm deterInina-
ton 10 get TO the top sooner or later,
~ s4rrfage appears 10 her more IN the
light OF q handicap than otherwise, and

site sex are regarded in the light of
competitors with long odds in their
favor Such a girl invariably succeeds
in lifting herself out OF the ruck and
lainfug some definite position and pros
Iects. even II she never attaius any
very great height But 10 do this II Is
NECESSARY at all times 20 put the work
before outside interests and personal
wishes. Everything must be sacrificed
to the one end.

from the top of the canopy are draped
curtains with two, three or even more
ruffies, each about two inches wide.
These curtains drop in graceful, fluffy
folds about the mirror and down the
sides of the table.
The most difficult part Of fitting out
this dressing table i~ making the top.
The softest. most satisfactory kind for
such piece OF furniture is made of cot
ton batting. which is covered with
cheesecloth and then with the Swiss.
Around the edges there should be one or
TWO FufTfes, to give il the same finish a.
the other narts OF the drapery.
An exceedingly pretty way TO add to
this is TO use big bows or ribbon To
match the cheesecloth or the same
shade as the figure in the cretonne- A
bow With four big loops and tWo long
ends placed at the middle OF the can
opy oVerhanging the mirror is decidedly
decorative. Half way down the glass
on either side slightly smaller bows
sewed TO the Swiss and to the beauty.
small bows with long ends are placed,
that the ends fall almost to the floor,
completing a really artistic dressing
table that costs little more than $3.50
Crepe Paper Attractive
A table could be similarly trimmed in
crepe paper for about half that sum
and 1t would be just as affective. though
the decorations would not last so long.
To be in keeping with these rufIied
trimmings. the glove and handkerchief
boxes and hairpin trays, as well as the
pin cushion. should also have the same
covering. An oblong glove box should
be made of cardboard, with the ends
carefully tied with stout cord. so they
can be handled without bending or tear
ing. Then the eheesecloth and Swiss
cover and ruffies should be put on. The
inside must be lined and made TO look
just like the exterior. SO that when the
lid is open the box viii not look unfin-
ished, For d little variety square
handkerchief box could be finished with
out a top. having instead one or two
ruffles on the edges. 4 glass bowl lined
inside and out with dainty coIored
cheesecloth and covered with Swiss
should have ruffie of ribbon around
the top and a bow In the center. A PIN
cushion made heart shape. square. OBJ
long or finished with a dolls head 10
match the other fittings should also be
placed on the table.
II white celluloid toilet articles are
possessed by the girl who has fitted out
such an artistic dressing table she will
have made for herself quite as pretty
and ornamental a piece of furniture as
the girl who pays $50 to S125 for the most
modern styles in real wood

THE HONE ITS PROBLEMS AND ITS /NZERESTSI II
THE DRESSING TABLE

In furnishing her dressing table a tidy
girl usually seeks to make it as at
tracttVe and characteristic as IS pos
sible with sler means. and if she is al
lowed to choose a new one she does it
with greatest deliberatIon. and after
carefully inquiring into the advantages
OF each style,
A table of white enamel. with nickel
fittings and heavy glass top in a
square or round pattern, is d faYorite
in hot weather. because 1t is so simple
and looks cool and clean. With a pretty
coIored cretonne or dotted Swiss cover 10
match the other draperies OF the room
it is relieved of severe or TOO plain lines.
The most modern styles for a girls
room are made from silver gray maple,
highly polished, and are inlaid with
small diamonds of mother of pearl or
pink satinwood.
Rosewood tables with spindle legs
elaborately carved and side drawers are
most appropriate for diminished bou-
doir. as is highly polished model of
painted top that costs from $50 TO S125
A girl who cannot afford to buy q new
style in expensive wood or IN bird s-eye
maple can make a fascinating one out
OF plain boxes. if she has enough in
genuity.
If she makes her own she must first

To make 4 table easy TO handle she
should put on four cheap iron castors
so that the table can be moved about
the room and placed in any position

quite elaborate If there is an old oval
or square mirror, and only little car
pentry work will be necessary to at

Two stout sticks nailed to the back
Of the newly made table are used as
braces for the mirrors and fasten 1t Sc
curely to them. Across the top Of the
glass is nailed a board about six inches
wide and as long as the greatest width
