 Miss Mary E. Cheek of Toboso, O., is the only regularly appointed woman rural mail carrier in the state. She has served in this capacity for six years.
 The highest paid working women in France are said to be the cutters of precious stones. They receive about S1 80 a day. The lowest wage is 60 cents day and is paid to dressmakers.
 The Films evidently have not found women suffrage a failure. Nineteen women were elected to their first parlia- ment. Now 25 have just been elected to the second
 Three women were among the S9 ap- plicants who recently took the examina- tion for postal clerks at Buffalo. The highest grade, S9.70, was attained by Miss Mary Pfann. One hundred per cent of the women applicants were successful, while only 35 per cent of the men passed.
 Mrs. H. P. Gates has just been elected one of the six aldermen of Magee, Tenn. For several years she has taken an ac- tive interest in the educational work of her town, and wanted to be elected alder man because 1t would help her in this work.

Prepare Your Winter Gardens


 If the window gardens are to be in blossom for Christmas-tide now is the time to begin them. A florist of vast eX- pejence gives the following advice:
 "Grafted plants are always the best for the window gardener, both in oranges, lemons and holly. Hollies are best buried in thin dry soil. Peppers and Jerusalem cherries also make effective Christmas decorations and may be easily grown in the window for Christmas. Should the fruits and berries of these plants color too slowly to be ready for Christmas little less water at the roots, more in the air, and slightly higher tempera- lure will give the desired results.
 For Christmas blossoms hyacinths should be potted in September brought into the house in November, or before the first frost; tulips, fresias and paper white narcissi should be potted a few days later, but brought in about the same time.
 Most bulbs require from six to eight weeks in the dark for roof growth be- fore they are ready to force Where the hyacinths show clublike flower stems pot should be inverted over the plant to lengthen the stem. Tulips should al ways be shaded winch first brought in- doors or their flowers will be almost stemless. About the gayest flower for Christmas is a pot of scarlet Due Van Thol tulips. This variety is well worth all the care. it requires to bring them to

Beauty Hints

Although elbow sleeves will not be fash ionable this season the arms and el- bows should be plump and attractive. To avoid rusty elbows every night hold the elbows in hot water and allow them to remain there for at least 10 minutes. A folded wash cloth may be placed in the bottom of the basin. Then both elbows should have a brisk rub with the flesh brush and a generous supply of soap After drying carefully rub in hot almond oil and massage most thoroughly.
 Those who cannot afford to have their hair marcelled often and are not clever enough to be able to do it themselves, would be pleased to know of the mar eel brush. It is very firm and stiff and is used after the hair is completely dressed. Some who make a study of the hair add a few drops of brilliantine to the brush. This gives a fine lustre to the hair and keeps the short hairs surely in place.
 The wrists may be greatly improved by massaging them thoroughly on every side at night with cold cream which process will in time add flesh.

driver" in the expressive old country phrase, was that misguided housekeeper whose daughter, summoned by mysterious sounds downstairs at midnight, caught her cleaning the china closet at that un . comfortable hour, because, as she ex- plained, she "couldnt bear to waste such a fine moon."
 She had, at least, the excuse that light ing in her day was expensive and in- adequate, for she lived a century ago. But it was a modern housekeeper of the same unrestful type who recently wor- ried her family and herself, during an attack of illness. by constant dwelling on the spring house cleaning. One day she was told that the work had been done. She flung herself out of bed and tottered toward the door.
 House cleaning done-and without mel she gaspea. Help me downstairs. know it's all done wrong, and l must see at once how wrong it is,'
 Then she collapsed and was put weep ing to bed. But by the time her recovery began the house was really quite hope fully dirty, and she insisted upon pass ing her convalescence directing the pro- cess of cleaning.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

perfection in time for holiday decoration.
 An easy and cheap method of obtain ing blossoms for Christmas is by taking branches from hardy trees. Branches of the double towering almond Chinese magnolias, entrants, towering cherries and Towering peaches are especially adapted to- this purpose. Branches from such trees should be cut about the last week in November, put in a barrel of water in warm place, with temperature of about 5S or 65 degrees and sprinkled with warm water every bright morning until the buds begin to open"
 There are many people who have little money to spend on Christmas flowers, and yet if they are willing to devote a little time to the care of a window gar den there is no reason why they should not. be able to make a very creditable show of blossoms in sunny window ir time for the holidays

Simplicity, system and repose' were the three essentials of successful house. keeping named by one speaker at the recent gathering of the general Federation of Women's clubs in Boston, Another speaker bade those who would achieve domestic success and abolish worry and the sense of drudgery to simplify, classify, jollify and glorify' their daily work.
 There are. and there have been in the past, good housekeepers who, consciously or by natural instinct, observed these rules There are, and still more there used to be, notable housewives by whom simplicity, jollity, and glory were bless ings hustled fiercely out of life. Such a

The New Figure

In one of the numerous Merry Wid- owl companies there is young woman singing the part of Sonia,, who is said to have the perfect new figure. Henry Hut, the artist, says her figure is the most nearly ideal 'new figure'' he has ever seen, while MT. Edward Watkins of Bos- ton (where Miss Dale is now singing), who has been associated with prominent gown architects and designers for human slSyscrapers on the princesse or directoire plan has been consulted, and gives it as his opinion that the singers figure measures exactly to the ideal standards of the dressmaker of today.
 The new figure of today is described by the Dressmaller and the Artist as fol- lows.

Cleaning Brussels Net

Now that Brussels net is much worn, it is well to be reminded that it can be most satisfactorily cleaned by rubbing it with corn meal Place the garment to be cleaned in a bag with plenty of meal and shake it frequently. Let it remain in the meal for a day and then shake out thoroughly and let 1t air. If one bath is not sufficient, the experiment should be repeated
