THE EIGHT HOUR PROBLEM

NTof long ago a wealthy Cnl-
 N cago woman announced that
 she had solved the much
 yexed question of domestic service. She simply engaged three sets of servants, pald them full wages. and arranged their duties so that none was busy more than eight hours out of the twenty-four. It was merely keeping house on factory prtn- ciples, she said triumphantfy, and she felt repaid by the smoothness with which the domestic machinery ran, and by &the consciousness that she could give a luncheon and ball In the same day without having to face a kitchen rebellion.
 Now, of course, this arrangement, very delightful to Mrs. Moneybags. is only within the reach of very few. but there is a suggestion about it that might be useful to those of us to whom the weekly stipend of one maid of all work is a consideration.
 In almost every locality there are several reliable middle-aged woinen who have never been trained to any special employment, yet who need money sadly. Let the housekeeper who has been tried by the shortcom- ings of Topsy or Bridget seek one of the women out and make her a straightforward proposition along

 A MEXICAN MOTHERS who have A taken kindly to those pictur- N esque creations of the French
 milliner that make such irre- sistible frames for baby faces will well come with delight some new ldesigns more fascinating even than thesr pred- ecessors.
 It is to girls of ar 5-sfiIl a bit be- low the cold comfort of a hat--that the French bonnet proves a boon, giving, with grateful degree of warmth. all the pieturesqueness that could be de- sired. And even the severe and cruelty trying lines of the tiniest baby's cap have their share of French prettiness in big rosettes of lace at either side. stud ded with miniature pink rosebuds.
 To fashion a French bonnet is the easiest thing in the world If you have the least artistic taste, for it is this that furnishes the style. EIfow it is done. is best told by describing the models pic- tured.
 For the centre bonnet big flat of cream-white felt is wired in walls of troy" fashion, as are all the bonnets made of felt hats. The wire is sewed outside of the brim, because 1t is covered with 8 ruffie of rich point d Alencon lace which falls curtain1fashion over the edge.
 The felt shape is fastened with pleats upon bandeau of cape net which has been fitted to the childs head. The brifn is cut off in back. where a continuation of the lace rufiie droops prettiIy. A ruching of lace covers the bandeau, and a pretty novelty is shown in ties fash toned of a lace scarf. An unexpected color note is the bow of black velvet ribbon on top, which gives the final touch.

Pockets Versus Vanity
 Bags

C ONE one has asserted. as boldly as - you please, that women are once N-> more to be blessed CD with pock- cts; that the popularity of the ubfqui- tous vanity bag (which provided place for so many toilet ihdispensables that 1t was like a miniature dressing easel IS threatened.
 Is 1t. or isn't 1t?
 It is certainly true that the more vogu- minous skirts maAe such thipg as pocket possible. which is more than it has been during these many days. But then, pockets are bound to gape or lo sag so that the seams are disturbed little, and even a little counts,
 But the question agitated suggests many another rather more amusing one; will the pocket of the future rival the vanity bag in number and kind of fur nishlngs? Will the tiny powder pun, an inevitable adjunct of the aforesaid vanity bag, and its wee mirror be reg ulaf Inhabitants of the also aforesaid pocket? Dame Fashion forbid.
 At any rate. many woman is anx- iously awaiting the verdict, nine out of ten of them casting their votes for the bag and against the elusive. awkward pocket

ARRANGE THE HAIR IN ouR1s

A simpler affair is n felt bonnet made as to foundation in exactly the same way excepting that the wiring is done inside the brim. Pale blue felt, ,Yith liberty satin ribbon to match, is used here, big pink rose holdi--;; each of the strings on.
 One of the cutest and most original. as we'll as simple, styles is of blue vel vet made over a foundation of cape net, and drawn over the crown of the head from ear to ear. There is a sort of Na- poleonic hat effect got by it's ending at each side in great choux Of blue chiffon.
 1t has the usual full ruchtng of lace finishing the back as well as front.
 This idea is only possible for a child who has an abundance of soft, curly hair, because of the curious back, which describes a broad line, curving slightly upward from the ear lobes toward the crown of the head-a repetition of the line in front.
 A clever treatment for a very broad face is to turn the many-curved brim slightly backward, and catching it with big ribbon rosettes. Then be careful to arrange the hair in curls to fall about the face-this coiffure is prettier for all baby faces. and, for that matter, nearly always essential within a way, half the charm of-F'rench bonnets.

pass out, and gives light without tak-a ing up any space.
 A small kitchen Is often more conven- lent than a large one. In France they are minute. The chef stands in one spot. from where he can cook, prepare the food on table, reach his sink and his cupboard. We should arrange khe kitchen so as to save as much running back and forth as possible.
 One well-planned Kitchen has a large table in the middle of the room. The sink is fitted into this, and the pipes have been carried along the ceiling and brought down. This maKes dishwashing very simple.
 There is usually a dresser built in both the kitchen and the pantry with hinged doors. If the kitchen and pantry are small, it is a good plan to have glta- ing doors made for the cupboards.
 Shelves of all sorts should be built in every inch Of space, as those that are not for use look pretty with piece Of kitchenware on them for decoration, or a few books, such as cook-books or ae~ count books could be kept on them.
 The curtains should be of thin dottee. Swiss, or some material that can ba seen through and easily washed. They should be either long, or half sash cur~ tains, and should hang straight. for the sake of privacy. If they are thin enough the maids can look out of tha windows without having to part them with grimy hands.
 The furniture of a kitchen should be simple. There should be two or three side chairs and rocker. either all wood or with cane seat: but the wooden ones are most serviceable. The tables should be square, with one or two drawers. A table is sold in the stores with one huge circular drawer, which reaches nearly to the ground. This is meant for flour, and is useful economizer of space. There are so many clever contrtvance8 for kitchen that it would be impossi- ble to mention them. Most of them are good, some are unnecessary, others are useless, but the good ones are well worth getting, especially if the houses wife Is doing her own work.
