For and About the Women Folks

the usual tiny ash receivers. 1t did not
take the family long TO learn the luxury
OF spacious dish in which to fieck their
cigarettes. and to clean the old tobacco
from their pipes. And not only did the
mothers carpets get the benefit, but her
dainty table covers as well were spared
the wear and tear of the daily brushing
which the previous nights waste tobacco
and overflow of ashes always necessitated.
In another home the mother noticed that
she was constantly having to buy matches.
At the beginning of the week each room
would be supplied with a small box of
them, but before Thursday every one of
the boys would be calling for a match when
they came to light their gas at night. She
observed as we'll that whenever they lighted
their cigars it was always with the special
kind of matches she was in the habit of
buying.
without saying a word, she thought out
a scheme for thwarting them. The next
time they looked for matches they found
the tiny box tied by means of a short
length of baby ribbon to the bracket Of
the gas jet. That is, the ribbon ran through
the frame OF the box, so that fresh case
could be inserted when necessary. The
mothers plan was more than successful
pick up and tuck in their pockets the boys
bought their own matches for smoking
purposes, while the match boxes In the
house we're always to be found just where
they were left.
Besides petty annoyances of this sort,
which are inevitable in a family where the
men all smoke, the homemaker has certain
duties which are really essential. For in
stance, a cigar or cigarette stub that is
allowed to shoulder after it is laid down
is apt to make a person nauseated who
does not use tobacco, while the effect on
the lungs is worse than roomful of fresh
smoke. Every flicker of light should be
extinguished before the stub is thrown in
the dish.
Ashes and stubs allowed to remain in a
room over night leave dreadfully stale
odor of tobacco smoke the next morning.
Ash receivers should be emptied before
retiring, and the following day should be
well cleaned out with soap and hot water.
Lastly never leave stubs or smoked pipes
In room where someone is to sleep.

Alice and army blue are said to be the
coming favorites of spring.
Women are returning to the plain, sober
black stocking for everything but evening
Some stunning suits for young girls are
of velvet-or, preferably, velveteen For
the average young girl is hard on her
clothes, and velvet marks" easily
Buttons are used in every conceivable
way Tiny lace or pearl ones trim the
sheerest of blOuSes, and big ones elaborate
or plain, trim coats and suits and dresses.
Heavy gold bangle bracelets are wonder
fully popular with girls who are engaged,
but who haven't yet announced it. A
bracelet is much less telltale than the al
most inevitable solitaire.
Hats are growing bigger and that fright
full tilt-so steep in some instances as to
suggest a toboggan slide-is modified to a
charming degree. The rule is that the top
of your crown must show in front, but
the merest suggestion of a tilt will do II.
Pink and blue slips for blouses have been
done to death. And lavender gives a dull,
grayish tinge to the daintiest, freshest

Empire wreaths find their way into every
sort of thing. The newest trick is making
ornament for the hair But, besides, the
form is applied in every way, from gold
and silver ones embroidered upon simmer
ing gray evening gowns to stenciling upon
wall paper.
Old-fashioned styles and customs reign
once more among debutantes and take some
of the matrons back to the days of their
girlhood. Particularly is this the case
when they see the young society buds clad
in frocks of tarlatan dropping the courtesy
which years ago was considered the proper
obeisance of a young girl to her elder.
Girdles of lace cleverly shaped and made
up on fitted and boned foundations Of crino-

womnn's Definition of Success.

Kansas woman, Mrs. A J. Stanley Of
Lincoln, has been awarded a prize of $3.50
by Boston firm for the best answer to
the question, What constitutes success?"
She wrote: HE has achieved success who
has lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect of in
telligent men and the love of little children:
who has filed his niche and accomplished
his task who has left the world better than
he found it, whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem or rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earths beauty
or failed to express It; who has always
looked for the best in others and given the
best he had whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction."

u11anA1 Cured I'm New York City during
the holidays when Banker Jacob II. semi
gave a purse Of 5000 to Fraulein Lena
cook who has been in the service OF the
schin family for twenty-five years. Mrs.
scbin gave her prize cook and prize slayer
a cluster diamond ring, and other members
added to the substantial rewards whlch
Iena's long and faithful service com
manded.
Fraulein Lena had been given a good edu-
cation in Germany and as a young woman
came to America, intending TO teach Ger
man. but she soon discovered good cookery
was OF greater moment than good German
and she studied that and adopted II as
profession. 90.
''Tbere is a world of suggestion In the Ire
n, this woman whose quarter of century
OF devotion to the high profession which mas
its atelier in the kitchen, who has received
a ,nuniacent salary and who is so richly re-
varderl at Christmas-tide, says the Balti-
more American, commenting on the incl
dent. IAN Indifferent teacher Of German
mr. AZ least one who would have had an In
different salary from the Grass drudgery OF
teacbinR-became an artistic cook and has
made n fortune She was so esthetic as to
recognize that refined viands appealed to
the stomach more powerfully than refined
Language TO the mental digestive organs,
and that while matchmaking had n more
exalted sound victuallzing had more pro-
life sense.
"Gastronomy, and not astronomy and
geometry is the thing. The physical, not
the metaphysical, takes the pastry. Inc
domestic entity is confronted by condition
in which It is almost impossible to secure
cooks who know their business. The young
women Of the day, as a mass, know nothing
of fine cOokery--or coarse, either, for that
matter. Tens Of thousands of teachers OF
the United States, masculine and feminine
good poor and indifferent-wear their lives
away for pittance of from $50 to $40 a
month for eight or nine months Of the year.
while If they would perfect themselves In
the fine art of cookery they could command
ten times that wage. Hundreds OF thou
sands of young women go into store or
Office or factory and work for a few dollars
a week. possibly just barely enough for
board and clothing, when they might make
fortunes in few years as expert cooks.
Good cooks are always in demand at high
wages and they are treated with profound
respect. because they are hard to find, IL
for no other reason. II is an ignorant esti-
mate to call cooking a mean or common
calling 1t is one of the most exalted. 1t is
in great hands really one Of the learned
professions Rich and poor, learned and
ignorant, must eat, and the finer the food
the finer the fiber OF the body and mind.
Fraulein Lena and myriad of others can
testify that there Is a luxurious and GER
tain future for young women who can ac-
quire the exalted art OF knowing what to
cook and when and how to cook Il, and who
become enthusiasts in the profession. For
such as these good stomachs will always
pave the way to good money"

monotonous and his descriptions stereo-

places Of interest are pointed out with gen
