who have failed to get on in the busy world. If you have failed, look within for the cause rather than to any out ward condition or circumstance. There are cases where workers are not appre- ciated, and are underpaid, but a good worker can always leave the uncongenial place for better one.
 Eeatness 6 Stepping-stone
 The untidy woman can never succeed in business life, simply because no man can like an untidy woman. He may have to keep her in his office for some reason other than that she does her work well, but he endures her rather than takes any satisfaction out of her work And the untidy woman about her personal ap- pearance IS nearly always untidy about her work It takes the severely plain woman with the neat business suit, the absence of trimmings, the plain hair dressing and the perfect cleanliness of body to turn out good work.
 One business man confessed to his wife that he had to move his desk be- cause every time he lifted his eyes from his work they rested on the frowsy head and soiled collar of his stenographer. She would have been greatly surprised to know what he thought of her, as she appeared in her worn-out party finery, with her hair done in the latest and most exaggerated style, day after day, but she was not concerned enough about the welfare of the office to notice little things.
 Some women wear out their soiled, f~,,,oI h~rk ~1D+t,1e ,,,4 thai ly,A~1a.,e o,,d think themselves very economical, while others who have no kitchens regard an office or store as the proper place to get the last bit of usefulness out of their garments. If you can only have one dress, let it be neat, serviceable, plain, clean office dress by all means.
 A Pleasing Appearance an Asset
 And for your own sake, and the sake of the people who must work with you, learn to do your hair without puffs and rats and somebody else's hair. A simple, natural arrangement, that leaves time for cleanliness, IS a thousand times better than the elaborate structures some women build up on their heads.
 There is trouble ahead for the man who must take into his office the woman who has been spoiled at home Very frequently it happens that man who has allowed his wife to rule the home, and who has never denied her anything he could possibly afford, dies leaving his family perfectly destitute.
 Not having character enough to man. age his finances in order to lay by for the rainy day, and lacking the patience and 6rrnOecs pR-Fcea-v fo eduratP his wife along tais lire. the man drops out of his place leaving a spoiled, almost helpless widow to do what she can to-

ward supporting the children and her self. That woman will wear the patience entirely out of her employer unless she has sense enough to know circumstances alter cases.
 There are many women of that class who have never learned that important lesson in business all over the land to- day, as weary employers can testify. Their way is always right and every body else is in error. If anyone ven- lures to disagree with them, tears are called into requisition, and the average business man hates tears worse than he does poison.
 Business as Business
 Perhaps the greatest nuisance of all in business life IS the woman who is only working until she gets married. Now all women have in their hearts the feel ing that when the right man comes along the position will be cheerfully given up, but the successful workers are not out hunting up the right man. They are quietly and carefully attending to their duties, knowing that ideally happy mar riages are not made by the woman in the case doing the courting.
 The entrance of a mar-any man into some places of business is the sig nal for the women workers to sit up

cutting allow one-half inch or more be- yond, then make a second chalk-line, three-eighths of an inch inside the first and mark along this line with tailors' tacks, which, as the cloth was doubled before cutting, will mark both sides alike. T,ilors' Taoks
 Tailors' tacks are made by taking al ternately one long stitch Gan inch or more) on the upper side and two short stitches through the two layers of cloth to the underside. Use basting thread, doubled, and do not make knot in the end
 Make these stitches along the challIed line, then cut every long end of thread, separate the two edges of the cloth slightly and cut the threads that are between. The short ends will remain in the cloth and mark the seam-line. Inserting the Hook-and-Eye Bone
 The hook-and-eye bone is stitched in the front without the boniDg attach ment. Baste to the inside of each front edge an inch-wide strip of bias crino- line, making the basting threads in the line of the tracing.
 Lay the waist on the machine, the in side uppermost; place the bone just oat- side the traced line and with the curved side down and the top of the bone not quite so high as the boning of the dart, stitch through the center of the bone.
 Turn the front of the waist under from top to bottom at the traced line and make row of stitching one-eighth of an inch inside of the fold edge.
 An inch and one-quarter is about the correct spacing of the hooks and eyes sewed on alternately, the hooks so their ends will come one-eighth inch inside the edge and extending the eyes the same distance beyond the edge. Hem a facing of the lining or a length of bone-casing to the inside of the waist, covering the sewing of the hooks and eyes.
 Using Whalebone
 When whalebone is employed, single bone-casing must first be sewed to the seams. One inch of the bone-casing
Arizona republican., 1909-08-27

is turned over at the top, forming a little pocket, which IS to be left free from the seam for one-half inch, as was the featherbone. The casing is then run, slightly fulled, to each edge of the seam, the center of the casing over the stitch ing of the seam.
 In order to spring the bones it IS necessary to sew through them, and in order to make this possible they should be soaked for about an hour in warm water. Cut the end of the whalebone round and scrape or shave about one half inch with knife or scissors blade to make it as thin as possible.
 Push the bone in the casing and up into the little pocket. Secure it here by taking two or three stitches with twist through the center of the bone and to each side of the casing. An inch and one-half above the waist-line, sew through bone and casing again. "springing' the Bone
 It is to be "sprung" across the waist line by pushing the bone into the casing as tight as possible, so that 1t bends out slightly rounded, and holding it so by sewing through bone and casing one inch below the waist-line.
 There is a third method of boning that is less work than either of the two described, though it IS not considered so desirable for a costume waist.
 One-quarter inch additional seam-al- lowance must be made at every seam edge. The seams are not pressed open, but are stitched together three-eighths of an inch from the first row, making casing for the bone which is slipped in and tackled as. previously described. Trimming the Bones
 All the bones should be cut off one half inch above the lower edge of the waist a bias strip of crinoline is then pasted around the bottom, stretching the outer edge of the bias, where neces- sary, to make it fit smoothly; both crino- line and waist are then turned over three-eighths of an inch and pasted after which the turned-up edge is catch stitched to the crinoline that extends above 1t.

BONING A WAIST
Up-to-date Method of Accomplishing this Necessary
 Dressmakine Detail

"NHE boning of waist lining is
 an important operation upon
 which depends much of the
 success of the finished gar ment. There are several methods by which this may be done, the one es- sential point in all being that the lining shall be stretched at the waist-a dis tance about one inch above and one inch below this line-and eased the remainder of the bones length.
 It was not so long ago that whale bone was considered the only material possible for use in a good gown; there were substitutes of horn and steel, but all were open to one objection or an other, the principal being that they bent out of shape or wore through the gar ment. The invention and perfection of featherbone has proven boon to dress makers generally. Whalebone is now both scarce and expensive, and a de pendable substitute is welcomed. Featherbons
 The usual method of applying feather bone to the seams of a waist IS by means Of an attachment, fitting any machine, that the manufacturers supply for the asking, together with instruction for its use. The seams should be finished either by binding, overcasting or notching and pressed open before the featherbone is applied.
 The height to which the bones shall extend depends upon the size of the figure, stouter figures require higher boning than those that are slender. The general rule for 30 bust measure is to extend the bones about five inches above the waist-line, while for an un- usually stout figure they sometimes reach to the armhole on the back seam of the under-arm piece and extend propor- tionately on the other seams.
 Make a mark for height of bone" on each seam; pin will answer, but it is a good rule in dressmaking to make all important markings with a thread. The attachment is placed in position on the sewing machine, the featherbone slipped (wrongside up) through the channel provided for 1t and in such way that the needle will pass through the exact center in sewing, and the at tachment is screwed down tight SO it will not slip.
 Using the Machine
 Have the bone extend one inch be- yond the machine needle and one-half inch beyond the mark on the seam tor height of bone. Lay the pressed

Hutspot

dutspoI
 Hutspot is Dutch dish with a his- tory, and Is eaten with especial relish on the anniversary of the raising of the siege of Leyden, during which time of hardship 1t had its origin. Beef, pork, carrots, onions and potatoes are the in gredients. Proportions do not matter, though there should be about twice as much beef as there is of pork Cook the meat and carrots cut in small pieces, until the latter are nearly done, then add the other vegetables cut small, a generous piece of butter. and simmer until cooked.
 Stuffed Onions
 Stuffed onions, cooked in papers to retain their homely savor, are very toothsome. Parboil the onions, throw them into cold water, and when cool, remove the centers with an apple-corer. Fill them with a piquantly-favored sausage meat, wrap them in buttered papers, place them on the rack of a pan containing an inch of water and bake in quick oven for three-quarters of an hour. Remove from the papers for serving, sprinkle them with pepper and salt and serve with melted butter.

open seam over it, the stitching of the seam at the center and the pressure foot over the left-hand turned-back edge of seam. Take the first stitch one-half inch below the mark on the seam, measure and cut the required length of bone.
 Stitch close to the stitching of the seam, but not in 1t Push the material toward the needle in order to ease the seam to the bone One inch above the waist-line begin to stretch the seam and one inch below the waist-line begin again to push the seam toward the needle in sewing.
 On the under-arm seam the stretch ing may continue to the bottom of the waist; this stretching corresponds to the "springing" of whalebones inserted in castings attached to the seams, the amount of spring" being varied on the different seams according to the figure. Finishing the Top
 To finish the bone at the top, rip the covering down one-half inch, cut off one-half inch of bone and under cover ing, turn the end of the outside cover ing over the end of the bone and tack it at each side, leaving one-half inch of the bone unattached to the seam. A bone must be placed at each front edge before the hooks and eyes are sewed on; for this purpose there IS a special kind of uncovered featherbone called "hook-and- eye bone"
 It is advisable to have a seam allow ance of three-eighths inch on all seam edges; this means that the edge of each represents the cutting-line, and parallel line, three-eighths of an inch inside this edge, will be the sewing-line Unless one is certain of being able to gauge the three-eighths of an inch accurately by the eye, it will prove a wise plan to make a pencil-mark at this distance from the seam edge and run the tracing wheel along the penciled line
 This precaution is especially advis- able at the under-arm and the shoulder seams where alterations may be neces- sary, as 1t will permit wide seam allow ance to be made in cutting, without en- dangering the accuracy of the sewing line.
 Marking Material
 The tracing-wheel will do the work on Things or other materials on which 1t will leave a mark; on woolens the sewing-line must be marked in a diff ferent manner. When cutting woolen

WASHINGTON LETTERS.

LONDON, March IA series Of in teresting letters and documents relat- ing to the American War of Inde- pendence. four of them signed by General Washington, were placed on sale today at Sotheby's. The letters are chiefly addressed to Colonel Is- rael Shreeve, commanding in New Jersey, and are dated from headGuar- ters at Valley Forge, New Windsor and other places, between February. TIT, and January, 17S1. The most interesting of these is a letter signed by General Washington on sentences by court martial, in which he says: T cannot confirm the sentence against Carter until I have consulted Gov eTnoT Livingstone upon the matter Introducing court martial into this state was intended to remedy the weakness of the civil court, but in the state Of Ne wJersey. where , there Is g law framed for the purpose of trying inhabitants taking arms on the side of the enemy, I think such
 persons should be delivered to the civil powers"
 Tn addition 10 the Washington let ters many other historical letters and documents have been placed on sale today, among them autograph letters uf Walt Whitman. Nathaniel Flaw thorne. John Brown, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe and LongfelIOw. Spirited bid ding is expected for many of the let tars and documents. particularly those bearing the signature Of Gen

 ling Being Star Features.

 Fair Commission.
 Tho investigation of the fair com mission by the joint session of the legislature resulted. as you know, In a resolution commenting the commis- sion for it's successful and just man agement of tho territorial fair ser vice since 1t was instituted. The gov eraor held his investigation today. Air. Adams appeared and filed with the governor a statement in answer to the charge formulated by the gov ernor against the commission, inelud- ing those against himself Adams also protested against the governor acting as judge as to whether the charges made by himself were true. Just what action the governor will take in the matter has not been learned at the time of mailing this letter.
 The 6overnorship.
 News received here today has end cd al hope of statehood during the present session of congress. As a mat ter of fact there has been little hope since the opposition appeared in the senate to the house bill. The ending of all statehood possibility for the present has added new interest to the question of whom is to succeed Gov eruor Kibbey as executive Of Arizona. It is conceded that Governor Kibbey will not be confirmed and it Is under stood that he will not ask for a reap pointment under President Taft. J. c. Adams has been mentioned as an applicant. but your correspondent can say that he is doing nothing in the matter of furthering his chances for the position. Before the joint session Of the legislature, held to investigate the fair commission. Adams, in reply to q question from Kean St. Charles, stated that he was not candidate for governor. This, 1t would seem. leaves a pretty clear field for Col. Sturges of Pima county. The departure or Hoval A. Smith for Washington Is be- lieved to have been in the interest of Sturges for governor, as the Miner. owned by Smith, several days ago con tained a vigorous editorial in support of Sturges.
 The appointment of Sturges would 20 doubt mean a clean sweep of the present territorial officials. as the two factions in the republican party have been led during recent years by Kib- bey and Sturges. Col. Sturges has many loyal friends In the territory who have always stood by him ana 1t will be quite natural for him to re member his friends when the time comes for cutting the official pie in the territory. which will be his priyi- Iege as governor. It would not be sur prising if Kibbey's successor was ap- pointed before the end of the pres ent legislature. 50 that appointments of the new governor might be con arned by the present council.
