10 You KNOW YOUR GROCER

Hinder the title do You Know Your
Grocer?', the editor of Woman's Home
companion makes this comment in the
November NUMBER:
asrhere are a few OF the intimate details
~ his business life which your obllging
grocer does not wish you to know. And
that is why he sends a solicitor to YOU
kitchen door every morning, why he as
s,,yes YOU that your children will be served
~asfhonestly and promptly as yourself. and
WHY he is highly elated when you put in
n telephone and join his list of telephone
customers.
.srhe telephone and the order clerk or
solicitor have probably done more TO Kill
the housewifely instinct in women and
further the ends of careless or nnserupu-
loug grocers than any other labor-savins
household institution of the century. Even
the most competent of h~ousekeepers ear
always find one thing more to do at homf
and when the solicitor takes such 3
friendly interest in her needs and h
her family likes, or the telephone can bs
used without changing from the hous6
frock tofa street suit, she is very apt tc
drop the habit OF marketing. A New
York grocer established one year in a new
and prosperous residence district thus
summed up this trade;
awe must make special appeal for th'
telephone and solicited trade, because on
store ana stan Oh clerks is not lars'
enough to accommodate customers il the,
called every day to market. Two-third'
of our trade is secured either by %telephoni
or by soliciting, and the women neyel
come to the store except when they hap
pen to be passing ON some other errand
or when there is some mistake in the bill
Yet ii takes half our clerks to wait OF
the remaining one-third of the trade
women who come here every day, an,
who waste our time picking over goods
changing their minds, waiting for change
deciding between this brand and that
%"rhen you do not care for the. woman
who wants to see what she buys for he
family to eat?'
Tho man had a saving sense of. humor
and replied;

Yesterdays papers teemed with news
of a sermon preached by a well-known
Jersey City clergyman last Sunday,
wherein he claimed that most of the
unhappy marriages are the u of
feminine defects.
He says, "In addition to having a
sweet disposition, a good wife should
be a practical woman who can take
charge of a home and make good pies
and coffee. She will possess a sound
body and will prefer roast beef to cake
and candy.
Then, too,'' he adds. "she will have
some conception of housekeeping and
will know what is fit to eat. She will
know that a hungry husband will not
thrive on fancy embroidery nor get
much nourishment from Beethoven's
sonatas."
1t would seem that this honored
gentleman is paying a great deal of
attention to the comfort of the man
of the house.
But they all look at it in that light.
The man must be considered in every
instance, no matter who else is neon
venienced.
It's all very well to tell a woman to
have aisweet disposition and that she
should greet her lord and master with
q beaming smile when he returns at
night.
Certainly. Who wouldn't rather
smile than frown, and doesn't everybody
know that a smile will win a great
deal more kindness than a clouded
countenance? But does his 'lordship"
always deserve the smile? Doesn't he
often come home cross and grouchy
and ugly enough to frighten away the
happy smile of his wife?
Women are human just as well as
men-though some men seem to think
them machines-and it is mighty hard
for most of them to smile and speak
pleasantly in response to a scowl and
a growl.
We hear q lot about girls walking
into m~atrinony blindly without the
least knowledge of Housekeeping or
cooking. Such a condition may have
existed in days gone by, but we sell
dom hear of it now; but we do hear
of the husbands who are unable or
unwilling to provide the wherewithal
by which the family larder may be
supplied, and the problems of the
little woman who is wife, mother,
cook, laundress and everything else
about the house more easily solved.
People seem to think it their duty
to preach to every girl who marries
and caution her as to how she must
act if she would retain the owe of her
husband, but does anybody ever eau
ton the man? Does anyone ever tell
him that the wife he marries is as
much entitled to consideration as he?
That she enjoys her hours of recrea-
tion as much as he enjoys his pipe and
his friends?
Would it not be better to consider
fairness and squareness on both sides?
We are all human and liable to err.
So don't hold the woman up as the
cause of all the unhappiness in UNI
happy marriages.

RACE SUICIDE IN MIDDLE GLASS.

This sociologists lay the charge of race
suicide at the doors of the multi-milion
aires writes Anna Steese Richardson in
an article on The Influence of the Bust
ness Woman on Home Life in the No
yember Woman's Home Companion. why
40 they not investigate the family condi-
tions in the great middle class. from which
are, drawn our most successful women ?
Here they will find the great source of
danger to the PRONUNCIATION of the human
race.
To-day it is the young women-and the
mature women-of the middle class who
are turning their backs on the home.
wherein lies Americas hope of future
greatness. And for what? To exchange
the birthright of womanhood, wife1ood
and motherhood for the mess of pottape
known as a business career. Therein lies
the nations greatest menace-race suicide "

THE REVIVAL OF THE
OLD CR0SS-STlTCH.

The cross-stiteh work on canvas is a
most popular eviva because it is easily
done and the results are very elaborate.
All the old patterns which were m
fashion in our great grandmothers' days
have been revived, and now are used to
adorn cushion covers.
The most remarkable dogs, cats. land
scapes and punches of strange, stiff flow
ers are appearing ON today's fashionable
pillow slips meant particularly for use on
couches.
One side of the slip is made of plain
silk; linen or crash or cbintz is frequently
used, and the front only is covered with
the canvas picture work.
There are also man of these pillows
shown ornamented with conventional
scroll work, or similar geometrical pat
terms wrought with shaded woods.
The canvas, since wool is used to EN-
broider them. must necessarily be very
coarse.

IN F

Beautiful indeed are the oriental braids,
and their chief mission is in identifying
some gorgeous evening toilette. In arrange-
ment the braid is used for belt. wide bre-
telles. while the long ends at the back are
confined at the waist with small ornamen-
tai buckles. the ends falling to the hem of
the dress in sash effect. When cleverly
placed, this braid is very graceful and
there is no doubt about its beauty, for few
trimmings this year are one-half so dainty.
In wearing a bretelle and sash ornament
it must be remembered it is to be ~she
dainty accessory to only fashionable sheer
~toilettes made en train.

BLACK BRAID MAKES
A SMART TRIMMING

The excessive amount of braiding upon
the new autumn coats puts another bur-
den upon our pockets, the great increase
in labor n the expensive qualities OF
the braids used making a rise In the price
of all such clothes Inevitable.
Coats and wraps will nearly all be braid
ed this winter, and the binding of braid
will be particularly in favor. Very satiny
finished cloths are the favorite back
ground for the braid, which in itself will
be Of the silkiest kind and of many new
thick bold designs.
Braid is so far almost invariably in
black. being one of the materials which
has not taken Kindly to dyeing, but no
doubt with the wonderful improvements
in this direction colored braids will APP
pear; but black braid has somehow always
a smartness quite its own.

THE EFFECT OF SUN
RAYS ON THE HAIR

Those who are in the habit of going out
in their bare heads should remember that
nothing causes the hair to lose its color
so soon as the direct rays of the sun.
This exposure. in addition to streaking the
hair, will, in course of time, dry the
natural oil and cause the scalp to become
imnovprished.
