FEMINiNITY IN
BOSTON LUNCH ROOMS

If you want pointers on the domestic
situation of femininity in general, look
into the lunch rooms between aud
? o'clock and behold how many women
there are in this little world. Hosts
of lovely beings. all rapturously feed
ing. Luncheon at these favorite re-
sorts is a special duty TO themselves.
Hundreds. nay thousands, of mothers.
and daughters pour into the shopping
districts every morning, and later ap-
pease their hunger at little tables
groaning under tiny portions of wcll-
prepared food. Each lunch room has
its own particular clientele, not to say
it's own style of menu. and it is by her
order that the student of sociological
matters "sizes up" a patron and can
tell to a dot if she is a suburbanite or
only some stranded citv housekeeper
without maids in her own establish
ment. But it Is not necessarily due
TO this gloomy reason that the smart
lunch places are crowded every day..
They are convenient: they have be-
come the vogue. When / remember
the almost lunchless condition of the
shopping crowd a decade ago, the
apathetic manner with which feminine
Boston viewed a tea room" and it's
present attitude toward such festive
centres. there seems hope for other
radical changes Of a metropolitan
character.-BostOn Herald.

A report has been circulated in the
western part Of the city, especially, that
William j. Hogan in one of the Anti
Prohibition League meetings referred
to Mrs. Lake in an alleged insulting
manner. In justice to Mr.. Hogan 1t
may be said that he made no insulting
reflection upon Mrs Lake or any OF
her family. About the only reference
to Mrs. Lake that Mr.. Hogan made
was that the prohibition speakers were

Diabolo, the new" game from Paris,
which was old in China when Frarce
was Gaul. is rapidly whirling its way
into an American fad
Diabolo has much TO recommend it.
It's the ideal exercise, its fair devotees
declare, for all the muscles Of the
body. 1t keeps the eye and the brain
on the jump. ana the arms-well. box
ing isn't shadow to diabolo for giving
them strength and cunning,
You don't have to play diabolo with
two old common sticks split from pine
boards and a cheap wrapping twine.
Rather you can buy fancy canes and
silken twine and make an
outfit calculated to dazzle the eyes OF
onlookers. Then. of course. you can
buy a hand-me-down apparatus. The
spindles are made of anything that
isn't too heavy that can be cut into
spool shape, but celluloid is the cor
rect material.
Suits Any Number.
One person can play diabolo or a
ten-acre field Iull OF 1olk can engage
in it. The English have arranged a
sort of tennis play along with other
ensemble games. But two or more
persons who acquire the fad and meet
together viii not lack for amusement
Of a contest nature. They will find
a way.
1t is difficult enought to catch up
the celluloid spindle in the loop of the
string and start it spinning. When
the beginner comes to catch the spool
after It has been sent flying skyward,
however, she comes to know what
cleverness means. YET some women
seem to pick uD thea rt at once.
It is hinted that nothing yet brought
forward in the way of an indoor play
will knock pounds of flesh off Of fair,
fat devotees as VIII dlaboio. 1t will
harden the muscles. though, and may
bring delicate lines into the face, for

Water Hanging Plants.

Be sure that plants hanging in pots
and baskets get all the water they
need. Because they are near the
ceiling, where the temperature is
much higher than at the window SILL
they will dry out much more rapidly
than ordinary plants, says the Home
Magazine. They are also exposed on
all sides, and this accelerates evap-
grafton. | have a method of keeping
these plants well watered which
works we'll l take a small can or
cup and punch holes in the bottom
of it. Make these small at first, un-
til you know just how much water
is needed. Fill these vessels and
place thom on the surface of the soil
Vines can be so trained as to hide
them. Observe the effect carefully
If not enough water passes through
to keep the soil moist, you will know
that larger holes are necessary This
matter car be regulated to a nicely,

TO CLEAN GLOVES PROPERLY.
Care and a Little Judgment All That
is Necessary.

White and delicately tinted kid
gloves may be cleaned by anyone who
will proceed carefully and with some
degree of judgment
Light gloves should be worn as Of
ten as possible before the first clean
ing. If used carefully and the badly
soiled places rubbed lightly with
soiled bread crumbs each time after
wearing the first cleaning can be pro
longed quite a while. but after light
gloves have once been cleaned they
soil readily and should not be allowed
to become too soiled before submitting
them to another treatment.
A very good preparation for clean
ing gloves is made by mixing together
equal quantities of finely powdered
alum and pipe clay or fullef's earth.
Dip piece of flannel in the mixture
and rub the soiled parts with it, light
ly at first SO as to loosen the soil and
not rub it in.
Repeat the rubhings until the gloves
are quite clean, then wipe them with
a piece of clean flannel Bran should
then be rubbed all over the glove with
French chalk and wiped off with
soft, clean cloth.
Gloves should always be laid away
in tissue paper, for it aids in preserv-
ing the elasticity OF the kid and keeps
the gloves in a good condition.

lower crust, and bake When the
apples are tender remove the upper

then put on the top crust The pie
