charitable institutions and works for use In
the cause she has at heart.
The Mexican women of the middle and
upper classes have never been athletic, at
least since the Spanish conquest. This, of
course, was due to the secluded life they
led. But the women of the lower classes
have ever been stout and muscular, for
much work of a heavier kind has been their
lot. On account of her Quieter disposition
it is not probable that. for years at least,
the Mexican woman will take the interest
in athletics that is now being shown by
her American sister Another reason is
that the sympathy of the Mexican people
is all against her doing so.
In the Mexican schools the girl is taught
many things in the way of needlework,
painting, embroidering, drawing and de-
signing, and these later serve to fill In her
peaceful, uneventful life after leaving
school. To this must be added music. For
here, as In Spain and other Latin coun-
tries most women of the middle and up
per classes receive an excellent musical
education.
In their homes. and in their own way,
the Mexican women are delightful enter
tanners, and their knowledge OF music aids
not little in their entertaining. ,
The piano always forms very impor-
tant factor in the entertainment at Mex
lean house. No matter how small the gath
ering of friends, there is always some one
who can play WELL and his or her services
are requested and always eheerfuly given,
Tor Mexican not only likes to help enter
tain his friends and his friends friends, but
ne looks upon 1t as his duty to do so. With
the piano also goes singing of the popular
songs of the day.

sity of keeping many kinds of foods sepa-
rate, especially milk and butter, which
quickly absorb odors from vegetables and
other foods.
The refrigerator must be kept scrupu-
lousy cleaned. 1t should be washed out
with scaldng water and washing soda at
least once week; this washing should be
literally thorough and should extend to
every part The shelving should be of
smooth woven wire, as offering the least
obstruction to free circulation. If stale
odor should be detected at any time the
shelves should be taken out and boiled for
at least twenty minutes. The waste pipe
must always be thoroughly washed when
the refrigerator is cleaned and under no
circumstances whatever should it be direct
ly connected with O sewer pipe.
A refrigerator Is intended for service,
and is often subjected to much harder serv-
ice than it was designed to Withstand. As
rule 1t has no ornamental aspects that
need be considered, highly finished refrig-
orators having no special utility, and 1t is
seldom possible to place them where any
external splendor is advantage.

New Bracelets and Chains.

Among bracelets the fashion OF the mo-
ment is for the chain bracelet set with
jewels alternating with carved links of Ro-
man gold. The jewels used are of all sorts
and colors. but the turquoise used in this
fashion has been rather relegated TO the
back shelf in fashionable shops, as it has
been too popular to be longer desirable.
A tendency is noted TO get away from the
barbaric splashing color effects of the
opaque jewels and back to the less pro-
nounced colored stones which have not been
SO fashionable. Garnet bracelets as We'll
as chains are extremely fashionable. Need
less to say that ruby bracelets are most
highly esteemed. Rather pale oifvines are
also most fashionable for bracelets. Tur-
eauoises are now made up In solid strings
for bracelets, rather small and deeply set
In pale, plain gold rims. There are also
chain bracelets.
Among the necklaces the newest designs
show locket effects. These chains are worn
short and have, If not a pendant. 3 broad or
nanentai network across the front. As IN
the bracelets, garnets are highly popular.
Jet necklaces and small baroque pearls
are attractice. The necklaces do not seem
so sl1oEy as they have been. They are
more delicate and show finer workman

Very elaborate frocks have, besides the
trimmed yoke heavy and elaborate trim
ming on the skirt. One such garment,
having a round embroidered yoke, has the
skirt finished with four groups of four
tucks each. A band of embroidery to
match the yoke encircles the skirt midway
between the groups OF tUeks-that is, there
are two groups above and two below the

frock which has rounded point yoke
of embroidery has the skirt finished with
two rows Of embroidery, between which at
equal distances is a row of feather stitch

not in truth, so attractive for babies as
are the fine little garments which have

MEXICAN WOMEN AT WORK.
They Have Few Outside Interests and
Care Nothing for Athletics.

From the Mexican Herald
As the Moors practically controlled the
commerce and education of Spain for over
100 years. the Spaniards acquired to great
extent the same ideas held by them OF the
education and treatment of women. And
they in their turn carried these ideas to
Mexico. In fact, the Mexican women of
the upper classes were much freer under
the Aztecs than they were afterward un-
der Spanish rule. And until quite lately
this condition OF affairs has prevailed In
Mexico since its freedom from the Span
fish crown.
Not so many YEARS ago when Mexican
woman went shopping she remained In her
carriage In the street and sent her servant
into the store to call one Of the clerks to
wait upon her. He came out and received
her orders and brought the goods TO her for
examination. This peculiar method of
shopping was due to the old Mexican idea
that a lady of good family should be ex-
elusive and should shield herself from the
gaze of the public and in fact from every
one except her own immediate friends. This
idea has been dying hard for over a cen-.
fury and ii is still far from being COM
pletely buried In some parts OF the republic.
The Mexican woman Is naturally a home
lover. She has no clubs to take her away
from ner home, and she has few outside In
terests. Even when she Is philanthropical-
Iy inclined. which she very often is, her
ideas OF life tend to make her place her
charitable contributions IN the hands of
sister superiors Of converts or directors OF

n ly there never was such a be-

seven prismatic colors All kinds and de-
scriptions of fabrics are also fashionable,
so that the deciding even upon the mate
rial means the expenditure of much time
and patience but, then, the results are
certainly most satisfactory. judging from
the appearance Of the costumes that are to
be seen so proudly worn. Short bolero and

ton have been for some weeks exhibited

keeans probably remember the time when
excursions of school children In the north

great and the gatherers of the blossom have
become SO careless that unless something
is done the trailing arbutus viii become ex-
tinct. It Is an easy matter when picking
the flower 10 pull out its root with it. This
has been done for the past few years, with
the result that the flower IS much more
scarce than formerly. Last year people
who went ont into the woods to pluck arr
butus found but small quantities OF the
pink flower Of spring. think that the
matter will be taken up by citizens of the

NATURE STUDY
MADE PLEASANT
BY MARGARET f. sANesrER.


Copyright. 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
MATURE study is supposed to be a
IN quite different thing from the study
OF books. In a way 1t may be true
that the two kinds Of study are not very
much alike but in another way they can
not be separated. Nature IS around US
wherever we turn: above us stretches the
sky; we breathe the air; we have. whether
we live In town or In the country, the
sights and sounds of nature near us all
the time. If we have only a little back
yard with a small plot of grass and a pot
or two OF flowers. IL our only acquaintance
with birds is derived from a canary or a
parrot in a cage. we stlll may study ma
ture. although not with. the same degree
OF interest that will be ours when we make
excursions to green fields.
take II for granted that tn girls who
studying nature are doing so to some
purpose Every one of US ought to know
by sight and touch the trees In the locality
nearest our homes. We should know them
by their pecularities OF bark and branch
and bud and leaf We should know the
flowers that grow In our coun:~yside recog-
mixing them by their peculidriIies OF root,
stem ana flower, OF co.or and perfume
We should likewise know the birds.
Nothing IS more absorbing than the study
OF birds. They are fascinating little erea-
lures. Their habits, manners and customs
are not so very opposite 90 our own when
we really penetrate their secrets In a
single rather small neighborhood in New
Jersey a bird lover last summer counted
no less than ffty-two varieties of birds
Their migratioDs. their nests. their patience
In finding food Tor their young the mothers
and fathers care in showing the young
birds how to fly, al these are interesting
parts Of nature study. But IL is not so
much OF this that ! am thinking as /
write 10 you. as the way in which VIC may
help one another in these days Girls who
live IN the country ought 70 have 4 mission
70 their city cousins. and when sprine and
summer bring their pleasant days boxes of
wild flowers and garden flowers. too, should
be sent weekly 10 the sehOorooms. where
the pupils have no easy way of getting
specimens for themselves. Schools In dit
ferent parts of the country should ex-
change flowers, shells and other Interesting
properties OF the nature study class and Ii
would not be at all a bad idea Il there
were q regular system OF correspondence
between Jean Of the little village and Betty

When I was a girl we studied botany out
under the trees There was a particularly
charming bit OF woodland near our school.
and our nature study WAS always carried
on out OF doors Our teacher had seat on
a gray rock, covered with a blanket shawl
Maybe you never heard OF blanket shawl,
but II you had gone with Miss Jane and
had been privileged 10 carry her Scotch
plaid over your arm YOU would have known
what delightful and convenient wrap 1t
was
The girls grouped themselves around on
the grass near a brookside and as the les
son went on the brook sang and sparkled
and the sound of Its lullaby and the CLEAN
of it's waters made music and sunshine in
our souls. We learned a great deal about
botany in those enchanted afternoons, and
we learned. too, a love of nature that Is
not gained by those who study her only IN
dried specimens between washed
walls.
You may be interested to know that we
always carried a luncheon ON the expedi-
lions, and Il WAS not the least interesting
part OF the occasion. Girls who fell below
a certain percentage in their studies were
not permitted to take up botany in their
work The opportunity OF studying nature
was thus made very honorable and precious,
and we held II as something worth striving

sion are quite as useful from a decorative
point Of view.
Trimmings of lace and lingerie are in
great demand. and. as in everything this
spring, the variety of choice is practically
endless. Fine lawn with straps of braid In
stead of lace entredeux is almost a fad,
and yet the lace itself must always be the
supreme choice. AS an effective trimming
Irish. Cluny and the lighter laces all can
be utilized this year. while IL variety is
desired three or four different kinds can he
combined in the garment. The en-
broidered medallions. in batiste or chiffon,
and the lace figures are inserted with the
most exquisite hand work in the finishing
and this trimming adds greatly TO the
beauty of the gowns. For instance
medallion of Cluny or Irish lace with the
hand-embroidered scallop as a finish Is
much more effective than the same medal
lion inserted as it was formerly done
These are the details that add so greatly
to the finish and make the gown look SO
extremely smart. and while they of ne
cessity add also to the expense any woman
clever with her needle can find her talents
in that line of great service just now. Be-
sides this is a chance to use the treasures
of lace which every one keeps put away
turn up. The bargain sales of laces and
embroideries also furnish treasures of this
same kind that are most charming In de-
sign. Here again time ana patience are
well repaid, for the search among myriads
of laces and embroideries inevitably dis
closes just what is wanted After ALL IL
would seem as though to be fashionably
gowned in these days either unlimited
money or time must needs be expended
TO secure the desired result.
The thin materials that are in demand
for the smart afternoon gowns have so
many different names that ii is difficult
to recognize many of the well-known fab
ries. Silks Of every possible weight and
weave, plain and figured, voiles and nets.
are all in great favor, and the one hard
and fast rule Is not to have too heavy and
stiff a texture, for the Soft clinging folds
cannot be well carried out in them. 1t
Is not well to attempt the heavier weights
in any material If the present fashions
are to be copied; the width of the skirts,
especially around the lower part, takes
so much material that 1t is most uncom-
Portable to carry it around unless II is
light in texture. The chiffon broadcloths
make possible the very elaborate designs
would be most unsatisfactory, and the
softer weaves of wolfe and silk permit the
many hounces and ruffles that finish the
skirts so becomingly. 1t Is 10 be hoped,
for the benefit OF those women who have
ordered their summer outfit In ACCORDANCE
with fashions dictates as to materials,
that the summer Will be warm one.
