P~syehoIogy of Dress.

r. proverbially hollow mind OF the very
beautiful woman Is not due 10 the exhaus-
tion OF natures resources on her exterior.
writes Prof. Thomas In the American
Magazine. but to the fact that her atten-
ton is so bound up with the expression OF
her own charm that It stops with that.
And the homely woman who completes with
her has a still more absorbing problem.
The foolish and disrespectful customs OF
courtesy which men practice toward women
are also q product OF woman's dress and
tend TO keep her helpless In mind and body.
The helplessness involved in Iacing, high
heels, undivided skirts and other impede
ments OF women has a certain charm in
the eyes OF man. Their helplessness shows
him off better by giving freer play to his
protective and masterful Instincts. II is hts
heroic opportunity since the disappearance
of large game and in the piping times OF
peace" To flatter this disposition OF man
woman therefore assumes even greater
helpiessness than she possesses, and the
most romantic periods in history are those
characterized by tight lacing and purposive

Rent Cook An Ohio.

Mrs. William H. Taft, wife of the presi-
dent-elect. is probably the best cook in
Cincinnati. or, for that matter. in Wash
ingtOn, either. and ever since her marriage
she has taken complete charge of the
financial affairs of her household.
Women Of the Heron connection as far
back as the distinguished old Cincinnati
family is remembered have all been noted
housekeepers and unusually accomplished
in the culinary art. The family trait is
said to be strongest in Mrs. Taft, formerly
Nellie Heron. whom her mother frequently
declared to be the best housekeeper Of all
her daughters. No social demands, posi-
tons nor interests have in the least sue
ceeded in lessening Mrs. Taft's interest
in domestic matters nor her pride in her
skill as a cook.
Here are a few recipes from an old cook
book, long a favorite in the Heron family
and now used by Mrs. Taft:
Chicken Croquettes-Chop cold boiled
turkey or chicken very fine. Season with
pepper, salt, a little nutmeg and onion.
Mix a large tablespoonful Of butter and
two OF flour. When well mixed and warmed
add a pint OF cream. seasoned with a little
salt Let it stand a minute, then stir the
mixture into the meat. When cold take
a spoonful OF the mixture and dip into
two egg slightly beaten. then into bread
crumbs. Roll lightly into shape. Fry in
boiling lard.
Plum Pudding-one pint chopped suet. one
quart sour apples, one pint Of r~aisins, one
pint eurrants, one-half pint sugar. one-hali
pint sweet mink. one cup citron. Beat eight
Eggs and mix with the above. Add suffi
eient flour TO make it stick together. Boi
three hours in a cloth bag. Serve wifi
favorite sauce.
Muffins-One quart milk. half pound but
ter, warm together-fouT eggs wen beaten
flour 20 make a batter; half pint gooC
yeast; salt TO taste. Bake In muffin tins.

We have a machine-made civilization
which has introduced class inequalities,
hatred and suffering unknown in savagery
or barberism. We are wealthy, but not
humanized. Man is pursuing business on
the same pitiless principle that he formerly
pursued game. Women nave a base of
material feeling that makes them more
social than men. and If the economic value
OF the superfluity OF their dress and the
energy and attention they waste in follow
ing the fashions were devoted to humanis-
tic enterprises We should be in a fair way
to add the elements lacking to make our
machine system a civilization. But there
is no use trying to talk fashions down.

Mrs. Mary Goodwin. physician
When it is considered that East Ciaridon
has a population OF less than 200, It will
be evident hat there are few important
places not held by women.
For years all the young men-and many
of the middle-aged and old men, too-have
left East Claridon to seek their fortunes
In Cleveland, thirty miles away East
Claridon has been a dead" town for the
last quarter Of a century. The majority
Of the women could not leave their homes,
however. and before long they fell into
the mems places, and, what's more, sue
ceeded in winning bread and butter and
pretty clothes.
The manner in which Miss Nellie Cleator
became the postmaster is typical OF the
way these women have gained control of
this comm unity. Her father was the post
master before her and he had hopes OF
making one OF his sons succeed him. One
by one they left the paternal roof to carve
out their d~estinies in Cleveland, and the
aged postmaster turned to his daughter to
assist him. When she was old enough
she was appointed his regular assistant by
the authorities at Washington and on his
death she was appointed in his place.
The husband Of Mrs. Phoebe Shaw, pro-
prietor of the Shaw house, the only host
elry in East Claridon, died several years
ago n It was naturally expected that
the business would descend to his two
sons. They had no desire to spend their
lives in East Claridon, however, and the
burden OF running the hotel fell upon their
mother.

occasionally substitutes for the minister of
+, the village church and It is even rumored
that she will eventually become the pastor
Of the little congregation.
AS the young men deserted one after
another. It got so there was no one left
who could fill the position in the Sunday
school so we'll as Mrs. Hale. Finally in
the choir there were no more men to sing
and so their places were filled by girls
with Mrs. Armstrong as leader. Again the

to her. and as the few dollars came il

women displace men In the way illustrated
by the Incidents given at the head Of this

Jobs as, while delicate and exacting, do
not require technical judgment.
Now there were certain men In the
watch factory in which this Incident hap
pened who were called 'finishers.' They
performed the last act in the manufacture
OF a watch and they were highly skilled.
To-day their act Is split in two. They
objected. They resisted. But logic was
against them. Part of their act was fem

part. Women. called 'assembiers.' now do
