Making work Easy.

Women bring upon themselves much
suffering for which they alone are to
blame. To the average hOuSekeeper,
the mere fact of getting breakfast
without first taking some nouriShing
food herself, is enough to cause in her
continual weakness, and TO some it
may prove a source of almost complete
exhaustion.
After the toilet is made in the
morning. a woman would eat perhaps
a banana or apple, and sip a glass of
milk or other nourishing drink, she
would find it did much toward keep
ing up her strength through the day.
To "stay the stomach" before exercise
in the morning is all that is neces-
sary.
When breakfast is over there should
he no rush to do the dishes-they can
wait now better than papa and baby
can wait at a future date, while mann

liable Decorations.

One of the prettiest decorations for
a dinner table is made by dropping the
electric bulb into the center of a col
ored glass bowl.
Fill the bowl with flowers, matching
it in color, mixed with asparagus and
ferns, and Irvine smilaX around the
cord that connects the bulb with the
chandelier.
Another charming decoration is made
with maidenhair ferns, which are
ironed out and laid in a circle in the
center of the table.
A fern ball is suspended from the
chandelier, hanging so low that it seems
almost part of the leaves on the table.
Gala lilies that have the centers re-
moved and replaced by small yellow
candles may be fitted into wire flower
holders over yellow jardinieres for a
yellow luncheon.

The UnweIcome Guest,

She requires the exclusive attention
of her hostess maid.

pers.

ferences.

continually to serve her.
She takes no pains to make herself
agreeable. either to the household OF
IFS other guests, except when it pleases
her fancy to do SO.

Would our grandmothers have
dreamed that the plain Bingham gowns
their little daughters wore so demurely
would ever be 'evOluted' into the dainty
and artistic frockS that the small maids
of to-day know by that name? The
qualities and colorings are so exquisite
this year that mothers have been fresh
" inspired to look for pretty designs for
them, to combine with the fine laces and
embroideries. Here is a little French
model of soft blue gingham that is
charmingly simple and dainty. The lit
tie box plated skirt is trimmed with
tabs edged with blue and white braid
The blouse, double-breasted in effect,
really closes in the back. Tabs and
braid are used with novel effect here,
but there is a trimming band provided
in the pattern that can be made of lace
or embroidery and arranged under them
if a more dressy effect is liked. Also,
the short sleeves. coming above the dim
pied elbows, are very comfortable.

Back Stairs.

A woman who found her steep back
stairs as little ornamental as they were
useful has had them converted into
two closets, one opening out of her
dining room, the other on the second
floor The steps were removed bodily
and glass door opened into the din
ing room from where they had been.
The space inside she had paneled and
rows of shelves were built in, we'll up
to the ceiling. The lower ones were
used for china and the upper ones for
preserves. A small window cut into
the side yard admitted light into what
was really Il small shelf-lined room.
The whole cost little. Upstairs a ca
pacious linen closet filled in the vacant
space.
Another woman who did not wish
to have the stairs actually taken out
had the upper landing converted into a
closet, but left the stairs underneath
using them from the first floor as a
store closet for brooms, buckets and
the like.

substitute for Cane CHAIR seats.

When the cane is worn from chairs
and they are not considered sufficient
ly valuable for the expense of new
cane seats, they may be reseated with
heavy cord and will wear for a long
time. The old cane should all be
cleared away and the lengths of cord
run in the same holes and knottel Sc

keeper. weave them in and out after
the manner of weaving the cane, al
though it is not necessary to attempt
any special pattern. After reaching
the opposite side the free ends are
pushed down through the holes and
tied beneath. Give the seat coat of
paint or stain to match the chair
frame. and very acceptable chair is
the result.

Women Rores.

1t is an easier matter than most
women realize to become a thorough
going bore. We have all met such a
woman. She will recite for hours at
q stretch the troubles-real and imag-
inary-which she experiences with her
husband, children and servants. She
will expound upon her own ailments,
and: bore you with a long story of her
pains and aches. She also usually
complains of being a bundle of nerves.
and yet takes a keen delight in telling
YOU the most sensational and harrow
i'm news which she has read. until she
makes your flesh creep. And if you
plead an engagement in order to es-
cape her, she not only offers. but ac-
tually insists. in a manner not to be
denied. on accompanying you until she
has exhausted her fountain of talk.
The grievances which such woman
has TO tell you are ineXhaustible. No
matter how earnestly she may work
for the good of others, she is always
sure that no one appreciates her eff
forts. The truth of the matter is that
she really does nothing at all without
largely advertising the fact, and no.
body can appreciate self-praise.
The woman who would avoid becom-
ing bore must remember that he1
ncrsonal affairs and petty domestic
troubles are of no particular interest
to any one except. perhaps. to spite
mi reighbOrs, to whom they form food
for gossip.
