A GIRLS IDEAL

Each girl has her own ideal of posi-
BILE husband and these ideals vary as
much as do girls themselves. To some
the standard means merely an abund-
ance Of this world g goods. That suffices.
The romantic schoolgirl must dress her
dream lover in good looks and superla-
tive clothes. And many mature women
remain schoolgirls at heart thru decades
of disillusioning years. One knows not
whether to pity or to envy them.
For the girl whose intellect is awake
and in development there is very diff
ferent standard. She is not likely to
choose life partner merely because he
is amusing and dances well; nor even
because he is good natured and thinks
with her on many points. There must
be some depth of thought in him, some
force of character, some suggestion Of
the spiritual as distinct from the ma
terial. He is not to be OWNED in a
ssday, such a man as this, but there is no
& greater pleasure than that of gradu-
ally learning the individuality of ma
ture that responds to our own, whose
ideas are congenial with our own and
with whom we find ourselves in such
perfect accord of thought and feeling as
to justify the old conceit of twin souls
sent forth to seek each other in the
world. This high ideal is sometimes,
but not often, realized. There are girls

HARD WATER EXPENSE

In the laundry the composition of
water is important. Water for do.
nestle use is either hard or soft, ac-
cording as it contains a greater or less
quantity of certain soluble salts-usu-
ally compounds of lime or magnesia,
which have been taken up by the water
while passing thru the soil.
When the hardness is caused by car
Donate of lime it is called temporary
hardness, because it may be overcome
by boiling. The excess Of carbon dioxide
is driven off and the carbonate Of lime
separates out. The same separation is
accomplished by the addition Of sal
soda, borax or ammonia.
When the hardness is due to the sui
pilates and chlortdes of magnesia, or
lime, it cannot be removed by boiling.
1t is then known as permanent hardness.
Public water supplies are sometimes
softened before delivery to the consumer
by the addition of slaked lime which
absorbs the carbon dioxide and the pre-
viously dissolved carbonate separates
out.
Soft water is needed in laundry work,
both for cleanliness and economy, and
water not naturally soft should be
softened by boiling or by the addition
of the aforementioned substances.
When soap is added to the hard wa
ter, is is decomposed by the water, and
the new compound formed by the union
of the lime and nlagnesia with the
fatty acid of the soap is insoluble and
therefore settles upon any article with
which it comes in contact. Until all

WOMEN "STEEPLEJACKs"

In this day Of the new woman no en-
ployment is too hazardous for some of
the aggressive and strenuous daughters
of Eve. A census bulletin on woman
and child labor states that there are
female steeplejacks and baseball UNI
pires, lines of employment that many
brave and courageous men would not
enter without fear and trembling.
Census bulletins are not the liveliest
kind of reading. A person would hardly
take one to the seashore to while away
the idle hours. But this particular bull
letin on woman and child labor is Of
unusual interest. It had the effect of
prompting the president Of the United
States to recommend that congress pass
a law directing the secretary of com
merce and labor to make a thoro in
quiry into labor conditions, especially
Of child and woman labor in the vari-
Gus states. Congress has enacted such
law, and the secretary of commerce
and labor is making preparations to
carry it into effect The sum of $500, 900
has been appropriated for the purpose
Women were found in all but eight of
the 303 kinds of employment scheduled
by the census. Steeplejacks and base
ball umpires were found among women.
but there were no female soldiers, ma
rines, sailors, streetcar drivers, fremen,
apprentices and helpers to roofers and
skaters, no steam boilermakers and
brass workers.
Census figures show that the rate of
increase in the number of women wage
earners was greater from 1890 to 1900
than the rate of increase of the female
population.

HOW TO CUT PINEAPPLEs

The toughness of pineapples is almost
entirely eliminated by slicing the fruit
up and down from stem to blossom end.
instead OF thru the core, as is usually
done.
Thrust fork into the blossom end to
hold b! the pineapple steady, and slice un-
til you come to the hard, pithy core,
which can then be discarded. The trick
was taught by an old pineapple grower
and makes all the difference In the
world in the tenderness of the fruit,
which is usually hard and chippy when
sliced with, instead of against, the
grain.

"Do we hear better with the left ear? Is that
why we always it in telephoning9'' asked.
"No,'' the pretty telephone girl replied. ''But
the receiver you see is hung the left side of the
phone Hence you have to the left in talk
ing, unless you want to inconvenience yourself.
''But why is it hung on the left side?" she went
''Was it hung there originally because the left
had been found acuter than the right? Ah
The receiver hung at the left that the left
hand could manage it, The right hand, in the early
days of telephoning had all it could do to turn the
erank-round and round and round-ding ainga -ling

''Now the right hand is idle in teephonng. There
fore, for any desiring it, it would be possible
to hold the receiver to the right The companies
should take this fact into consideration, and they
should hang the receiver, not the left right of
the instrument, but directly in front of it. Then
could use, in telephoning, whichever ear we pre-
ferred tn.''
