HOW TO GET MORE SUNLIGHT.
Englishman Wants Clock Hands
Pushed Forward in Summer.

Englishman Wants Clock Hands
Pushed Forward in Summer.
An interesting discussion has aris-
en- in the English and French press
as to how man can make more use
than now of the available hours of
daylight. William Willett has just
published pamphlet on the subjeat.
He writes:
For nearly half a year the sun
shines. for several hours each day
while we are asleep and is rapidly
nearly the horizon when we reach
home after the work of the day is
over. Under the most favorable cir
cumstances there then remains only
a brief spell of declining daylight in
which to spend the short leisure at
our disposal
Now if some of the hours of
wasted sunlight could be withdrawn
from the beginning and added to the
end of the day how many advantages
would be gained by all, and particu-
larly by those who spend inSthe open
air, when the light permits them to
do so, whatever time they have after
the dates of the day have been dis
charged.
by a simple expedient these ad-
vantages can be secured. We can
have eighty minutes more daylight
after 6 p. m. every day during May,
June, July and August, and an aver
age of forty-fve minutes more every
day during April and September. The
expedient which I propose is that at
2 a. m. on each of the four Sunday
mornings in April the standard time
shall advance twenty minutes, and on
each of the four Sundays in Septem-
Der shall recede twenty minutes.
Another means of arriving APP
promiXately at the same end would
be to alter the clock thirty minutes
on six Sundays; the last three in
April and the first three in Septem-
Der. We lose nothing and gain most
substantially. Having made up our
minds to be satisfied on four occa-
sions with Sunday of twenty-three
hours and forty minutes long, or
twenty-three hours and thirty min
utes long on three occasions, the adj
vantages aimed at will follow auto
matically without any trouble what
ever Everything will go on just
as it does now, except that as the
later hours of the day come around
they will bring more light with
them"
Mr.. Willett calculates that on an
average 21O hours of daylight are
wasted every year by every person.
The expense of the artificial light
used in this time will be saved bod
lily. A man who left work at s
p. m. would have as much daylight
before him as man who leaves now
at $40. Saturdays if he left at ~
o'clock it would be equal to stop
ping under present conditions at
1910 a. m.

A COOKING WRINKLE.

Before putting green vegetables
into boiling water they should be well
washed in salt and water and allowed
to drain or even dabbed over with
cloth. Many people take the cab
bage, etc, straight out of the water
and put into the saucepan, which
stops the water boiling for some min
utes, whereas if the vegetables were
put in dry they would not stop the
water boiling. If people object to
soda being put in the water to make
the vegetables green, try lump or
two of sugar. Soda improves the
favor Of peas.--New York Journal.

cred quite an indispensable adjunct
of ones toilette. 1t may or may not

the most popular color, and fash
toned of gauze, crepe or any of the
very thin, lustrous silks with deep
bordered ends in gold or silver, or
perhaps gold and silver in clever com
bination, these scarfs are extremely
fetching. For wear with street cos
tunes the scarfs are generally of a
slightly firmer fabric or an Oriental
silk, one of the beautiful crepes or
chiffon. They are not tied but al
lowed to droop carelessly over the
shoulders.

bias band of the material, piped with
plain color and stitched with belding
silk, but wool, linen and cotton are
quite as appropriate as silk, and
again the skirt is just as desirable
for the gown or the suit as it is for
separate use. Trimming can be varied
in number Of ways; a plain stitched
hem is quite correct, while bands of
the material, such as the one illus
trated, are much in vogue. Folds or
applied tucks of contrasting fabric
also are greatly used, and there are
ready-made landings galore.
The skirt is made in nine cores ana

GOING HOME.

From the Realm Of Toll and Trouble,
Toward the sunset keeps of Spain,
Rolling iron miles behind us
Westward speeds the lurching train.
Fades the city's ragged skyline,
Steepled roof and garish dome
And Pm gong home to Mary,
Going home, going home!
Grayness wells the whirling valley;
Darkness sweeps across The gray;
Lanterns red and green and golden
Clint and glare along the way.
Every ringing wheel and bearing
Holds jolly little gnome
Singing, Going home to Mary,
Gong home, going home!"
And ! hear Che chant re-echoed
In the grinding and the jar,
In the clanking Of the coupler,
In the clatter of the car;
While the engine bears burden,
Through cloud Of beloved foam
Calling, Going homesto Mary,
Going home, going homei"

WHEN BoILING GREENS.

Have the water quite boiling, put
In a little salt, pinch Of carbonate
of soda, and piece of dripping the
size OF small walnut. Having well
washed the green's, turn on the hot
water tap or pour boiling water over
them. This prevents cooling the
water in the saucepan, cooks the
greens quicker, and keeps them a
better color. If a crust of dry bread
or toast is put on top Of the boiling
cabbage it prevents much of the dis
agreeable smell of boiling green's. It
can be lifted out before the greens
are taken up.-New York Journal.

Size For Coronet BRAID.

The coronet braid, called matte
in Paris, is now most esteemed for
the smart couture. The matte must,
however, be full and fussy and thick,
and unless a woman has so much hair
as to be weighted down by it she had
much better buy her matte at the
hairdresser's than try to make 1t from
her own tresses. 1t is a becoming
mode and Queenly Pity, then. that
it Is SO difficult of attainment, for it
takes much money to buy a matte Of
