When a Maid Motors

Motoring has assumed such popu- larity days, that My Lady is quite as punctilious about her motor toilette as she is about any other fem mine apparel. Indeed, it is a most perplexing question this, How to be pretty though motoring.
 The veil is most important con- sideration, with the 1880 bonnet, which is the latest importation from the Rus de la PaiX. The veil should be chosen to harmonize with the tone of the com pleXion.
 After long run. say 50 miles out, My Lady doesn't look the same as she did at her dressing table in her softly tinted boudoir. If motoring gives you much color, tone it down with grays, or softest tans. If you're pale heighten your tones with light blue or dull rose. It is absolutely neces- sary though to be thoroughly yelled if you would come through a smart run with coiffure intact. And besides, it's so becoming. Two veils always three often. The fine net veil that h olds the hair to soft but sure lines 8 second curtain veil of chiffon, and over all, the scarf veil of auto silk. This is thread silk yelling, very hand some and durable, with a broad bor- der of stripes in self or contrasting colors. The cameo colorings in the auto silk vellings are particularly charming.
 The very latest accessories to motor ing apparel are the new motor boots Have you seen them? If you experience the tired cramped foot feeling that a long run in ordinary footwear inveri- ably results in, be comfortable about new cloth boots. Not a bit of leather about tn em, save the soles and pipings. Twill cloth, waterproof. They come in black tans, gray and white. Think of that for smartness-white motor boots. The more. conservative colors, of course, are used for every day wear.
 Now comes the question of coats; fash ionable women have from six to a score of motor coats in year. Two are imperative to any fair motorist- four are really necessary. For winter a cloth and fur for summer a strict ly tailored coat of heavy motora, dust shedding and smart looking, trimmed in meal buttons. For dressy wear wrap shaped garment of light cream or tan, or rose, or blue motora, to slip on over handsome toflettes when the ride ends at tea or a re- ception or afternoon bridge.

Birmingham women are in revolt against furnishing their servants coal for their private use, and I understand that in sev- eral households a new arrangement Will gb into effect this winter.
 Under the old order of things, I may say under the present order, all servants who live on the place are furnished with coal. They have access the entire win ter to the coal house and no restrictions are made The householders pay the bills.
 Under the proposed new arrangement the servants will pay for all the coal they burn in their houses. Wherever the householder can provide coal or slack at reduced rates he will give his servants the advantage, but free access to the coal house Is to be denied.
 As a matter of fact the servants burn almost as much coal as the family ever consumes. In the majority of cases serv- ants sit up half the night and keep big fires going from the time they are off duty until nearly daylight, and as they are not required to pay the coal bills they are not apt to count the number of times they refill the coal scuttle.
 Naturally wasteful, they pile on coal into cooking stoves until even the best of them are burned out in a few months and as the average house for servants is equipped with two or three open grates the same waste goes on there.
 When all things are taken into consid- eration cooks are the best paid of any i,, tia good wages the year round and are fur nished a house. lights, water, heat and of course their living practically costs them nothing. In almost every other ave- nue of work, domestic or otherwise, the employe has to provide for himself. But cooks expect net only good wages, but a comfortable living over and above their income. And in many cases they live off the fat of the land
 .I think the time has come when we should form a combine.' said woman yesterday. 'I do not believe that it is right to continue to overlook this waste that goes on at our backdoors. With the winter season coming on it seems a good time to affect new and more economical arrangement and I believe that in many households in Birmingham it will be done. I already know of one household where the subject has been presented to the servants in very practical way and they have been told that they will not be supplied with coal for their private use, but in future will be expected to pay for what they consume.
 We do not wish to appear in an unlSind attitude, but simply as matter of jus tice to ourselves and of common sense, in the adjustment of our household ex- penses, we feel that such step is neces- sary.

Betrothal Tokens That Are
 Popular

''The important moment in which the bridegroom-elect slips on the third finger of the left hand of his lady love the out ward and visible sign of their engage ment is to the woman one of the supreme moments of life," says Woman's Life.
 Few men. however, are valiant enough to sally forth with the declaration of love upon their lips and in their pocket the betrothal ring. They usually leave the pleasant task of choosing the ring to a later moment, after due deiberation with the affianced one as to her taste in stones and patterns.
 Our great-grandmothers were fond of receiving a triple band of gems. each separate, though intended to be worn to- gether, and each set solid with one type of gem. A ruby band, an emerald one and a diamond one was a favorite trio.

1 their approval of this radical step, and believe that as long as the present free | and easy methods prevail that just so | large class of servants
 "A Birmingham woman who has fur nished her cook with coal and kindling for l the last six or seven years, said to her l the other day:
 | Mary, why is it that as long as you l have lived with me I have never seen you | take scuttle of coal into your house, and yet all through the winter you have | fires in your roon?
 1 Tt just seems that most of the back door waste goes on after dark, and the depletion of pantries and coalhouses is accomplished when night falls. This same women is determined upon l stopping this waste as far as fuel is con ] cerned and she now requires her cook to 1 ask for every scuttle of coal she uses. She does not intend to refuse her the coal, but she has adopted this method in order 1 to check what she considered a leakage. And so far Mary has accepted the new | management.
 
 1 it meets with the approval of all women who have felt that they were powerless in making any changes, and who hesitate | to enforce new laws that they feel may 1 work hardship upon their servants. But with the determination to manage their l households on as judicious plan as pos sible, following the panic and the strike, they are anxious to begin on the best
 working basis one that will be both just and economical And having arrived at 1 this conclusion, they are trying to make ! their servants see the reasonableness of
 their proposed action. And a few are wondering if they will be read out in church just because they have locked the coalhouse door,
 Speaking of the back door waste,' said l a woman, slipping her tea yesterday, "I do not know of anything that eats more into the household economies than a gas | stove that is left to the management of
 the servants. The quantity of gas that I one servant can consume is amazing. My gas bill is four times larger when ] I leave my cook to run the stove. And l when I get without a cook and use the
 gas stove myself I can realize the enor- nous waste that goes on. I can stand
 for the coal bill better than I can the 1 gas bill In fact, I believe my cook ! must go off and sit by somebody's else's fire, as she leaves the place the very mo- ment dinner is over.'
 Well, in any event" remarked another
 woman, somebody pays the bill'

Why She Drinks Milk

'1t is funny thing" said a woman the other day. "and you know only care for milk when I am eating sweets-par- ticularly maple syrup or honey.
 "That may seem strange, but there is reason for it. I am fond of both maple syrup and of honey, especially when fresh from the trees or the hives. After eating a little, the flavor is apt to cloy or become dulled. A swallow of milk does away with this distressing state of affairs. After drinking a little milk I am able to relish my sweets as much as at first '"

About Bread and Butter

Has it ever occurred to you. who first started the idea of spreading butter upon bread? It is such a little, commonplace thing, and yet the world seems never to have discovered the especial genius who originated the idea. It was certainly a most happy thought for there is scarcely a more palatable combination of food elements. In fact this device is more wholesome and more palatable and more universally popular than any that the combined wisdom of all professors who have ever lived has been able to devise.
