PARIS, January q, 1906.
YHIS Is the time of the year when
the Partisan shops fairly bristle
with Notwithstanding hats
II of maline and chiffon, dress pat
terms, lingerie, lace-but why
enumerate? Every woman knows the al
most endless wants that may be so
cheapiy and smartly supplied IL one is
thrifty enough to seize the opportunity.
Speaking of thrift, is there any nation more
inbued with this trait than the French?
In fact, thriftless wife is practically I'M
known in this fair land. The great lady
of the Faubourg st. German and the hum
blest working woman alike look after the
purse strings, and the preliminary step of
securing these strings Is taken as a matter
of course at the beginning of the matri-
monial voyage. The amusing part of it is
that not enc Frenchman out of one million
resists.
1t is a wel-known fact that the petty
finances of France are in the hands of the
women. Among the wealthy monsieur has
his allowance. Among the well-to-do he
keeps back money for his three evenings a
week at the cafe, for the restaurant dinner.
for tho theater once or twice a week and
he tries, not always with success, to with
hold five francs on Saturday night. These
French wives have proved themselves
worthy of the trust and devote their
genius for the most part to two ends of
existence-to look well and to eat well.
Their theory is that the rest will take care
of itself. 1t must not be supposed, though,
that the Frenchwoman devotes her time,
energy and intelligence merely to looking
well; she Is really well dressed. A French
woman would rather stay indoors than go
out with an undarned hole in her garment,
however hidden from human eye. Before
telling you the very latest whims of fash
ion from this center of her realm let me
tell an amusing incident related by a
Partisan friend of mine who lived for a
time in London fiat.
Madame had two servants, a maid and an
English cook who was very cockney. This
cook was able to tickle the English palate
In homely fare. Beyond that her culinary
science was dim. On the second day after
the domestic's entrance into the family
madame made an omelet before her. The
cook watched the operation with face
indicative of establishment. She said: 1T
made her that nervous to see madame
whisk the eggs about So The omelet
was ready to serve before the cook had re-
covered The next morning madame
stewed up the mutton of the day before.
She made an auburn-colored sauce. She
conjured with herbs, she juggled with con-
dinents, she kept the pot on the move
over three flames of the gas stove all
the time. The cook sat mopping her fore
head for awhile. Then she reached for her
bonnet and put 1t on. When the dish was
done she tied her bonnet strings, which

THE FAMILY CLOCK
ADVICE OF AN EXPERT AS TO
KEEPING IN ORDER
So That It May Be Depended
Upon at All
Times.

Written for The Star.
The household clock plays an indispensa-
BILE role In every home. 1t regulates the
going and coming of each member of the
family and when it refuses to run or lags
behind In Its duty disorder in all the work
ings of the household Is sure to be the re-
suit good housewife appreciates this fact
and her care of the clock or clocks through
out the house is not the last, but among
the very first of her daily or weekly tasks.
For the benefit of the woman who has
trouble in keeping the household timepieces
running with regularity and in perfect time
here are some advices of an expert clock
repairer as to the best methods Of accom-
plishing it:
Never allow the clock to be moved from
the position where 1t is well balanced. A
deviation of two or three minutes day
from the correct time may be the result
of an uneven placing Of the clock, and once
it Is properly adjusted 1t should not be
shifted for busting nor for artistic purposes.
This is especially true of clocks that have
a pendulum.
Be very careful about winding the clock
too tight 1t is sure to upset the mechanism
to some slight extent, and two or three
tense winnings mean visit OF the clock
repairer.
The hands of clock should always be
turned forward. To set the hands by re-
yersing the right-hand motion is to loosen
delicate screws that hold them within reach
of various cog slips.
Lastly never allow the clock to run down.
1t responds to regular attention just as
surely as human being does and keeps
its course truly when made to follow an
endless routine.
These rules, simple as they may seem. are
of Infinite value IL the home sentinel, the
family clock, is to be relied upon as cor
rect and unfailing timekeeper.
Really Necessary.
An indispensable adjunct to every we'll
regulated home. the clock has also become
one of It's most decorative ornaments. Art
In modern housefurnishing has left Its linz
print on clock cases and the new offerings
show rare design and workmanship. The
most costly cases, like the modern art piano
cases, are built to fit In with the general
color scheme and decoration of the room
for which they are intended. Only glimpse

When war was declared with Spain Admiral
Lamberton ordered to Asatic waters and at
