A Way to Fool the Cat.

Il is little use for bird lovers to
meet and pass resolutions, IL they are
going to allow an army Of cats to eat
up three-fourths or more of the song
birds that are hatched, says a writer
in Bird Lore. The time when the do
mestic cat accomplishes her most ter
ribly effective work is in the early
summer. when the young birds are
unable to fly more than a few feet at
time, and are easily picked up, eth
er night or day. To prevent these
depredations, bird lovers are advised
to catch the young birds when they
begin to fly and put them in barrel
standing in the shade OF tree near
enough to the house SO that 1t can be
watched. In this must be put food
and water, and 1t must be securely
covered at night. The parents soon
find the little ones in their new home,
and when they are able to fly upward
out of the barrel, they will be able to
take care of themselves.

No Time for Domestic Science.

No one expects majority of college
girls to look kindly on certain inno-
vations proposed by economic and So
biological societies which have been
meeting in this country and Europe.
College women assert there is no time
In those institutions to teach domestic
science, and the moral responsibilities
Of every woman as potential factor
In the home. In fact, certain heads Of
colleges pooh-pooh the idea as vision
ry. They point out that women in the
past were entirely satisfactory as
wives and mothers without special
course in the schools. Says the pres
ldent of Bryn Mawr: "The tendency
nowadays is to throw the entire re-
sponsibility on teachers instead of
mothers. Colleges are not the places
In which to train a girl in every de-
Ail of her home duties and to spe-
cialize, as sociologists suggest. New

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
WEEKLY TRADE SUMMARY
Reports from All Sections Indicate
Better Conditions az Obtaining.
New York.-"Bradsteets says:

Retail and holiday trade are more
In evidence this week, and as these
have expanded, business In regular
wholesale and jobblng lines has quiet
ed down. Colder weather and the
approach OF the close Of the year have
helped to stimulate final distribution,
but 1t Is noted that both regular re-
tail trade and the usual Christmas
shopping demand have not yet fully
met expectations at many points, and
particularly in the South, where low.
priced cotton Is a retarding feature.
Best reports as to trade come from
the Southwest and the spring wheat
and Pacific Northwest. In wholesale
and jobbing, except where the latter
trades are engaged in quick ship
ments to meet current needs, there
is disposition to go slower, pending
a clearer view OF year-end distribu-
tion and the taking of inventories.
There Is also In evidence some con-
servatism as to placing spring busi-
ness, because of more or less marked
advances in prices of raw and manu-
factured products ana careful buying
by retailers.
"In Industrial lines, while there Is
still some idle machinery. the volume
Of orders booked Is sufficient to in
duce manufacturers to go ahead free
ly, though this branch notes the in
fuence Of higher prices on some raw
materials. An example of current ac-
tivity in manufacturing 10 affored by
report Of pig iron production for
November was larger than for any
previous month this year, and so per
cent in advance of January.
Final building reports for Novem-
Der also testify to activity in this line
for a close-to-end-of-year period.

She Has Blue Hair.

This is from Paris, under Saturdays

Is wearing blue hair. OF course this
startling statement must not be taken
literally. But 1t is absolutely true that
Mrs. Tiffany has set On end the hair

cullar bluing at least once week, and

which is SO much admired in certain
lovely types of Irish girls.
The threatening hairdressers are led
by Otard, the right-hand man of Hell

doctor. They fear that If the exact
composition of the Tiffany hairwash
comes to be known no fashionable wo-
man will use the hair-washes now in
vogue, but all will have hair blue as

What a Girl Should Learn.

Not everyone can learn to play, or
sing, or paint we'll enough to give

Door ones be avoided by any one:
Never fuss or fidget.
Close the door, and close 1t softly.

Learn to make bread as we'll as

Keep your own room in tasteful or

Never appear at breakfast without

Never go about with shoes unbut-

derstand.
Never let day pass without doing
something to make somebody COM

Method in Your Work.

A young and inexperienced house
wife often begins her married life with
an idea that the number Of duties that
lie before her are positively appalling,
and with the belief that unless she
gives up everything that interested her
before marriage, she cannot possibly
pull through.
Following such belief, she is af-
terward found in the tolls Of multitu-
dinous trifiing duties without mo-
nent for herself. Yet If a method
had been mapped out from the first,
she might have kept her old interests,
and all would have gone we'll
For instance, all jobs on one floor
should be in sequence, and all compar-
atively dirty jobs, such as dusting,
lamp cleaning, arranging flowers, etc.,
should be finished off before needle
work, or anything requiring equally
clean hands, is entered upon, says Wo-
mans Life. If you neglect these little
points half the morning is absorbed in
running up and down stairs and wash
ing hands, in talking of what is going
to be done and trying to remember
what you were on the point of COM
mencing.

American Girls.

Our American girls" remarked
Mrs. Norma Clark, of the Chicago
Girls Industrial School, worry too
much about their careers Positively
l believe the girls of today begin to
stew about their careers in life long
before the boys do.
"One can never tell to what point of
the compass girls mind may turn,
especially a very pretty girl, when
some of the young things are dying
to break into the political game, crowd
the lecture platform, pulpit, or do
horseshoeing or plumbing.
"The fact remains, however, and the
belief Is widespread and strong, that
the homemaking, homestaying, con-
tented women who love their hus-
bands and families, are the greatest
preservers and upbuilders of the fam
lily fireside and enemies to the divorce
court And in this respect 1t is re-
freshing to learn of young woman,
even one, who boldly declares for a
real preference for cooking and sewing
and other duties that the girl with un-
satisfied 1ongings' for a public career
would scorn as being menial. Even
though the girl who sews and cooks
for her husband may perpetrate Won
derful pastry and sometimes get a
button in the wrong place, she is nev-
ertheless of sterling value in the
world and the pity is she is not more
frequently SEEN"

In color to match the blouse as liked,

most any one of the handsome trim

plain silk or other material either
braided with soutache or embroid-

and trimming portions are braided
with soutache, while the chemisette
and the long sleeves are of all-over
lace and the girdle is of messaline
satin. The color of the blouse and
the girdle is one of the pretty new
grays, but the lace is ivory white,
such combinations being very lovely
as well as very fashionable. Net

matter of stockings. It is not rare to
see lace stockings that cost 800 a

The WeII.Dressed Woman.

Always be we'll gloved and we'll shod,
ut is very simple" advises the woman
who has never earned slice of bread
and butter in her life, and would prob
ably starve If she were suddenly left
to support herself Every woman
knows that good gloves and good shoes
are necessary part Of her dress, and
she knows, too, that much depends on
her personal appearance; but when
the rent of her hall bedroom is paid,
or perhaps of the little fiat where her
mother keeps house for herself and
several small brothers and sisters, and
when the milk and gas and bread and
other bills are paid, to be well gloved
and we'll shod is far less simple thar
it sounds. To be we'll gloved, one
must have more than one pair, and
ditto with shoes. Sometimes one can
spare the change to buy gloves, but by
the time shoe money has accumulated
the gloves are worn; so while former
ly she had good gloves and shabby
sheos, she now has good shoes and
shabby gloves. And so 1t goes. Have
one good tailor.made suit and plenty
Of shirt waists" advises another wo-
man. Well and good. Shirt waists
mean laundry bills, and unless tail
ored suit be of the more or less expen-
sive cloth, which will not shrink with
the first foggy evening or wear up
rough after few outings, the effect of
trying to be well dressed on one suit
falls after a week or two.-Leslie's

Mrs. Ward Against Women Voting.

Mrs. Humphrey Ward is one of the
most implacable opponents of woman
suffrage. She argues against 1t with
all the logic of man and all the ear
nestness of a woman. The foremost
woman In British literary life, re-
spected student of economic questions,
and a sympathizer with the laboring
classes, Mrs. Ward is force in the
opposition that the suffragists cannot
match. With the cooperation of Lord
Rothschild and the Marchioness Of
Tweesdale as president, she has or
ganized the National Womans Anti
Suffrage Association, and is winning
many influential women to its cause.
On the other hand, the suffrage move
ment, Mrs. Ward insists, is losing
ground, and doomed to defeat.-Dis-
