WOMEN ARCHITECTS.
New Sphere Opened to Them In De-

New Sphere Opened to Them In De-
signing Flats and Apartments.
"Some day." said the old fashioned
aousekeeper, women VIII discover that
a great sphere Of usefulness is open to
them In designing fats and apartments
The average married woman spends
most OF her time arranging and keep
ing straight her house and doing her
housework. Why, then, shouldn't she
design things with far more conven.
fence and comfort than a man could
think Of? If a man had to lift his ic.
and groceries of the dumb waiter, do
you suppose he would plan to put the
dumb waiter out IN the hall instead Of
in the kitchen? Yet 1 have seen the
waiter at least twenty feet from the
ioebox and In the private. hall Of al
apartment for which a first class rent
was asked. Then the kitchen sink-I
never saw one that was high enough
for a woman Of average size to stand
at and wash dishes without getting a
pain IN her back from bending over.
The washtubs are always dreadfuIly
low.
ANY mother who wants her baby to
take long nap would appreciate a fiat
where the bedrooms are not arranged
In the noisiest place In the house. The
idea Of arranging bedroom, parlor and
dining room with wide openings, max
ing them practically one room, may
look pretty enough, but It is absurd
Suppose a caller comes before the fam
ny hnisaes dinner or while the house
wife Is IN the kitchen in her old
clothes. How is she going to get her
things out Of the bedroom? And as for
closets, no 1at designed by. man ever
had enough"

The KIND WORLD
Let Us Be Among the Warm Fisafesd
Part Of Humanity.

Let Us Be Among the Warm Heaftsd
Part Of Humanity.
Perchance the people who never
speak the word Of kindness sponfa-
neously, but rather seem to refrain
jealousiy from using words Of praise,
have such self sufficient or at least
self satisfied natures that they do not
realize to the full the great value Of
friendly commendation to most people
in this world. What II the praise be
not wholly merited? How few OF us
there are who are entirely deservingl
What II the kindly expressions be
somewhat exaggerated7 How small a
number of US there are who would get
any praise at all were the wording Of
1t ooldly fitted to our exact desertsl
Flattery, used and intended as merely
dattery, Is seldom beneficial alike TO
the spirits Of those who receive and to
the consciences Of those who give, but
generous praise-ah, that's quite a diff
ferent matter, and none Of us knows
just how much good is sometimes done
by friendly word Of appreciation. In
deed. such words may come at some
crucial moment and may, more often
than the gfver realizes, help to change
the current of the receivers nature
from dark despair to buoyant hopeful
ness. When a person has even tenn
porarily lost confidence in himself,
when everything In his life seems go
ing wrong, heaven send him the SYM
pahetic comrade who knows when
encouragement is needed and who by
his openly expressed belief in that per-
son is able to tide him over the shoals
of desperation
No influence is more helpful, more
inspiring even, than that exercised by
the friend who believes in us and is
deferred neither by coldness nor by
calculation from frequently expressing
that faith. Most Of us will make some
endeavor at least to live up to the es-
Inmates we know our friends formed Of
US, and in our efforts to approximate
those ideals we shall always find our
surest help in the approving commenda-
ton Of those comrades. 1t is not
enough to feel kindly toward a person,
for, while that may be all common
friendliness requires, the highest, tru-
est comradeship gives more, much
more, and proves its depth and sin
cerity by its words and actions, by the
outward expression OF its sympathetic,
comprehending feeling. Let as, then,
rather choose to be among the warm
hearted part of humanity, which. while
It may err in too much kindliness in
word and deed. still never falls short
of the ideal friendship by calculating
its expressions by the rules of absolute
merit or weighing its actions by the
measures Of certain worth in the indi-
vidual who is to reap the harvest Of
that friendship.

TO GIVE A DINNER.
When ThoushtfuIIy Arranged Can Be
Served Without Maid.

Served Without Maid.
A young housekeeper who wants 10
give a dinner and breads to because
in her simple home there is no servant
will find the solution quite easy II
thoughtful arrangements are previous
ly made. For instance. by wearing
the prettiest of silk or cotton frocks
she may receive her guests with the
assurance that all is well and by ex-
cusing herself only a few minutes be-
fore the time appointed for dinner may
put on a we'll cooked and daintily serv-
ed meal.
To do this successfully not more than
four guests should be present. Six
persons at the table are quite enough
to manage. A few enjoy themselves
more and conversation is general.
To select a menu which can be cook
ed and stand without detriment is half
the battle. Everything should be Of a
kind that can be prepared beforehand
1t Is also to be remembered that many
courses are not good form under such
conditions. OF course II the hostess
can get a maid for the occasion and
It is not necessary for the former to
leave her place during the meal addi-
tions may be added to the menu, but
when It is a matter of the woman who
Is doing the entertaining. changing the
plates, etc, she should keep the meal
a simple one.
Whatever the dishes selected, they
must be Of a kind that can be pre-
pared in the afternoon, and the young
housekeeper must expect to spend the
greater part Of that day In the kitchen,
no matter how plain her dinner is 70
be. Vegetables should be peeled, mash
ed and ready to drop In the pot at a
moments notice. II a woman makes
a kind that can be cooked and heated
again, so much the better. Double
boilers are a boon when there is no
cook, for the things will cook slowly
IN the bath, and by renewing the water
as It boils away the vegetables or sauce
may stand indefinitely without fear Of
burning.
Salad leaves should be torn apart,
washed and arranged in the bowl OF
plates on which they are served Grape
fruit makes a delicious course and one
quite simple to serve because It is pre-
pared and put in dishes hours. If need
be, before the meal.
Broiled or fried foods should never
be attempted by a hostess who is her
own cook, for either necessitates stand
ing over the stove until the last min
ute.

The Spirit Of PrOgreSSiveneSS

Ever since the advent of man. progressiveness has
been part of him. 1t has been noticeable in all ages
and perhaps under different names and conditions yet
the Spirit has always been the same.
The dominating force that made Columbus want to
discover an easier and quicker way to the Indies; the
force that controlled the mind and body of Fulton the
force that literally drove Morse Bell Mccormick and
the other great inventors; that force, we say, was
progresSiveneSS
Just as much progresSiveness asserts ITSELF Just
that much will we succeed And never was there more
need of this Spirit than at the present time.
This store wants you to know that 1T is Alive and
ProgreSSve more SO now than at any other time The
Spirit has made us what are the Spirit that has led
us to adopt ideas first the Spirit that continues to
be part of this business calls for new things
Answering this call of Progressiveness, we are
going to take another step forward
Quality First
Tomorrow is Show Day. Tomorrow we will
dress up, SO to speak, and will show-and many for
the first tmethe nobbeSt Styles the newest patterns
and the BEST OF EVERYTHING.
This promises to be one of the greatest days in our
history and will be treat that you should not miss 1t
will be beauty show, the like of which was never
equalled in this city.

the new hats, Silks, uIeSS gOOuS,
