woman,s Club of Orange.

At the open meeting of the NWoman's
Club, Of Orange, yesterday afternoon, q
discussion was held on 1.-The Opportunity
of the Sunday School," under the auspices
of the science department., Mrs. j. e.
Cheesman in charge. The Rev. DIR. John
M, Thomas, deploring the apparent lack of
enthusiasm on the part of the parents in
interesting their children, said that the
success Of the Sunday school lay in per-
sonal contact and sympathy of the teach
ers for the children. Not to teach down to
them, but to bring themselves on a level
with the pupils. "They should arouse in
%terest," he said, by making the Bible into
a living book, recording the real doings Of
real men, not allegorical figures. They
should make their impressions 80 deep
that they will last, and to do this each
child must be studied to find out how he
may be reached" DR.. Thomas said this
can be done "by making of the Bible a hu-
man book"
Mrs. William L.. Smith told of the pres
sing need of grading the scholars, as she
said, according to age, ability, aptitude
and afinities." What will interest and
hold one child, she said, will drive another
child out of the Sunday school altogether,
and If he once goes 1t is next to impossible
to get him back again. There is also need
of trained teachers and Of organized work
uiiloHB VHe parents. Without lHelT sup
port the Sunday school will fall" she de-
clared.
The Rev. Milton S. Littleheld, of the Bay
Ridge Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, was
the next speaker, and talked optimistically
of the conditions of the Sunday school. I'm
spite Of ignorance n lack of traind
teachers and cooperation of the parents, "
said Mr.. Littlefield, the Sunday school Is
doing its best, and a very good best. In
the last few years the advance of the
Sunday school has been equal to that of
science, and there was never more en-
thusiasm thar now" Mr.. Littlefeld said
that they had in their Sunday school four
"Jims"-to call them James would be to
lose them-the first in the primary, the
second in the intermediate, the third in the
Junior, and the last Jim" was the grad
uate. The primary Jim" must be taught
to obey, Mr.. Littlefield went on; the inter-
mediate Jim" is taught to know why he
obeys, the junior Jim" learns to love-he
begins TO realize that he is a part of the
whole, and the last Jim" realizes that he
must build.
To reach the child and be able to arouse
his lasting interest, Mr.. Littlefeld said, the
or her pupils; think what his or her ideals
were at that age, and then treat the pupils
as he thinks himself to be. Teaching"
he concluded, rs a matter of incarnation"
At the close Mrs. Cheesman invited the
audience to ask her any questions which
might occur to them, and Mr.. Littlefield
was quick to respond with many helpful
suggestions.
A large audience was present and showed
its pleasure and interest by remaining

FOR THE PLANT LOVER.

Don't use much water at this season
of the year. The plants will be al a
standstill, for the most part, and these
need only enough to keep the soil
moist. It's the growing plant that re-
quires a good deal of water.
Use no fertilizers until your plants
begin to grow again. A plant that is
not growing is not In a condition to
make use of strong food. The appli-
cation of it will do harm, instead of
good.
Turn your plants at least once a
week, that all sides of them may nave
a chance at the sunshine. A plant
that is allowed to stand facing the
glass all the time only looks well from
one position, and that is outside the
window.
Let cleanliness prevail at all times.
Pick off every leaf that begins to turn
yellow. Keep the surface of the soil
stirred, that air may get to The roots
of the plants.
Keep the thermometer down to IS or
70 degrees il possible.
Shower your plants two or three
times a week TO WISH tie obSI III iiO
leaves and prevent he ravages of the
red spider. This pest iourishes in a
hot dry atmosphere. Keep 1t moist
and he will not do much damage. A
showering, bear in mind, doesn't mean
g slight sprinkling; it means a real
shower, and the result of it is that
your plants are wet all over.
There is only n thing better than
a thorough showering for house plants,
and that is a dip bath. Fill a large
tub with water and souse your plants
under, leaving them submerged for two
or three minutes, and you have the
satisfaction of knowing that water has
got to every part of them. No insect
can possibly escape such a bath as
that.
If the red spider has begun to inJure
your plants before you were aware OF
his presence, heat the water in your
tub to 120 degrees and immense the
infested plants in it, allowing them ia
remain for about half a minute. This
will kill the spider without inJurins

FOR GOOD HEALTH'S SAKE.

Eggs are very nutritious as a diet for
children. They should be the freshest
that can be bought, and must not be
boiled over two minutes and a half.
A little cold water dashed over the
chest n back of a baby or young
child after the bath, and followed by a
brisk rubbing, will often prevent sensi-
tiveness to colds.
Many people with delicate digestions,
who can eat no other food, win find
they can take without difflculty-ex4

This specially pleasant form of food
can be. made more p~alatable by mixing

Sun baths are excellent for children
and grown people alike. When giving
one to the baby, which should be done
for at least an hour each day, be care
full to turn the coach so that the light
does not shine directly in the eyes, or
they will surely be injured.
In these grip times it is too Gus
tomary to fight the disease with whis-
key. This has been declared by many
doctors to be a great mistake, as
alcohol is ~enervating and uses up the
proteid in the body, which Is all i'm

the system.
The natural manner of walking Is
with the feet turned slightly outward.
If the feet Of a child are of the pigepnt

form, vulgarly called turkey-toedI
where the feet turn almost at right
angles, care should be taken at once
to counteract these evils by exercise.

the latest views from the federation she

ugh! that sitting odor. How I hate
perfume!" a woman said to her COM
panion as they stepped out of the ele-
vator on the ground floor of the Public
Library yesterday morning. why do
people find 1t necessary to use those
nasty extracts?" she continued. I'm
sure there is nothing refined about
them.'
Don't you like perfume?" asked her
friend.
Goodness, mol" replied the first
woman, with some show of annoy
ance. "When l get such a Whit as
that it always suggests uneleanlineSs,
and I don't know which is worse, that
thought or the nauseating effect"
Really refined people do not use
heavy perfumes, and the girl who is at
all fastidious is quite satisfied with
some dainty perfume, sachet or even
the simple orris.
"I always know when Mary is
around I heard a girl say while talk
ing to a group of. friends not long ago.
The "Mary" in question had just en-
tered the room unseen to some Of the
party, but even If she was not seen
she made her presence felt by the
peculiar brand of "carnation extract"
she always uses.
Mary is a dainty girl in every other
respect; her person is always well
groomed; her hair fairly glistens as the
result of good care bestowed upon it;
her hands are well cared for, and as
for her clothes-well, no one ever saw

STEAMING.

If one wants to preserve the food
value and nutriment of different foods,
steaming should be more often used
than it is, This method Of cooking pre-
serv all the flavor, as it prevents its
absorption in the>water, says the Prov
idence News.
Steaming is we'll adapted to vegetable
preparation. Potatoes, particularly,
never get soggy as they do with boil
ing.
The objection so many people have to
steamed meats instead of roasted is
generally because they do not under
stand the use of the steamer or neglect
to take out the meat for browning.
Steamed buildings are much more
healthful than those that r boiled
directly in the water.
While the bought steamers simplify
this method of cooking, steaming can
just as easily be done by immersing
a close kettle OF mold in boiling water.

The Awakening.

Thus it vas with the quiet girl of my
story. She gave to the little butterfly
girl the best she had to offer of hopes
fears and aspirations. Their FRIEND
ship was the food upon which her SOU
grew.
And the little one laughed and con
ided and told her hopes, fears and as
pirations, too. But what a difference
there was In the telling. The con
fidences of the little girl were all con-
corning the ridiculously unimportant
things which occupy the mtld of the
shallow pate. When one hope was
lost, another sprang up to fill its place
almost before 1t was missed.
One day the little butterfly girl found
a new dearest friend" and away she
fitted, to the side of the new fancy,
while the quiet girl wondered and wait
ed, but would not reproach. Later she
began to realize that her dream of
true friendship was over, and once
more she became of the reserved type,
which never tells its thoughts.
But under the grave demeanor was a
resentful, embittered heart, which
looked out upon the world with sus-
picion and would believe in m

THE GRAY GOWN.

There is nothing neater than a gray
costume, but 1t really demands, in
winter, an additional color to give the
desired effect. A woman who can wear
dark purple win have a r~ich-looking
costume If she has a gown of gray and
a very dark purple hat. 1t is not
necessary to wear purple gloves or have
the gown trimmed with the rich col
or, but the hat will lend enough tone
to make all look becoming n stylish,
The hat should be of a sordid color,
without a touch of gray.
The public dinner hat, which goes
with the promenade suit, may be a
separate hat to wear with various cos
umes, but 1t is anything but the con-
ventional little affair, for the hat is
large and trimmed with heavy fronded
plumes. A ray hat, with black
plumes, is a good style, which most
women can wear to splendid advantage.

TIMELY HINTS.

Chiffon and ordinary yelling Is easily
cleaned in methylated spirit. Put the veil
in a small bowl and cover it withEspfrit.
Then gently knead till the dirt is removed.
If necessary, rinse in clean spirit.
shake out and allow to dry. Ironing
Is not necessary.
Table linen should always be placed in
pure boiling water il stained with fruit,
tea or wine. Soap sets such stains. but the
hot water takes them out. Egg stains,
however, need different treatment; these
require to be soaked out in cold water,
just as do stains of blood on cloths in
which meat has been wrapped.
Faded cotton blouses, frocks, etc, may
be made to look quite new again IL
bleached white. To do this, mix three
tablespoonful Of chloride of lime in three
quarts of water-or double that quantity
of each If required-and in this liquid stir
about the garments till all color has dis
appeared. Then rinse thoroughly as quick
ly as possible, and starch and iron as
usual.
When the hot-water bottle is not In.
use, blow 1t up as full of air as possible
and screw the top on quickly. This will
prevent the sides from cllnging together
during warm weather, and 1t will last
much longer.
Make small cheesecIoth bags to hold the
pieces of toilet soap which are left in
the bathroom. With a small piece Of
orris root they make a pleasant addition
tossed in before the children's bath.
Make use of a little parsley after eat-
ing onions. Parsley is a deodorizer.

have a clean cloth in the left hand to
polish and protect from finger marks.

hearers by her voice and delivery. she
was encored again and again, after the

Sudden Friendships.

When 1 see two girls, brand-new ac-
quaintances, striking up the greatest
kind of a friendship, vowing eternal
loyalty to each other, and so on, ]
can also see breakers just a little dis
lance away.
1t is foolish to place much stock
in the girl who wants to be your dear
est friend the minute she makes your
acquaintance. She may gush at length
and her charming speeches may be
very pleasant to your ear, but you
may rest assured that it will not be
very long before she will become the
dearest friend" of someone else. For
the gushing girl has little or no depth
of character, n thinks nothing OF
severing a friendship as quickly as she
made it, If she finds someone she likes
just a little better.
She never cares for anyone quite so
much as her empty-headed little self.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

One often hears complaints that the boiler
rusts and ironmolds the clothes. To pre-
vent this, as soon as the boiler Is emptled

only prevent rust, it will also help to make
suds for the next boiling.
To keep mice away from pantries and
cupboards sprinkle cayenne pepper on the
shelves. In boxes and wardrobes put
humps of camphor among the clothes, for
mice dislike the smell of it. The camphor
must be renewed every now and then. for
it evaporates in the air.
For easy boot cleaning brush the boots
free from dust, then with a bit of rag run
a little glycerin well into the leather. Let
nearly dry, then rub with a soft brush.

covered pad or duster they will retain
their polish for days and the glycerin helps
to keep the leather a good color and to
make 1t soft and comfortable to wear.
Even when the oven is quite right and
the pastry has been made moderately rich,
a woman will feel dissatisfied at the az
pearance of a pie, because she misses the
rich brown gloss that she has seen on pas
try made by practical cooks. To obtain
this gloss she needs a wrinkle. 1t is pro-
duced by egg wash. An egg is beaten up
with a little sugar and a small quantity
of milk is added. With this wash the pie is
brushed over after the pastry has been
finished.
Dresses, carpets and rugs and all sorts
Of wooden fabrics may be cleaned with
