Afrocious Inconsistencies In Wonens Make,

The menu consists of soup, with an
entree of spaghetti or fish; a roast,
with two vegetables. a couple OF
leaves of lettuce in guise of salad and
a choice between four or five desserts,
which are always the same-pies, tarts
or ice cream. This keeping to GER
tain desserts is an economy, but
everything is so good no one minds it.
1 forgot to say that she buys olives
by the wholesale and that a small dish
of them figures on every table and also
that her after dinner coffee is excel
lent.
She is making money, to use a vul-
gar expression, hand over fist"
Why does not some one else try to
initiate her example? The trouble
with the average woman who keeps
boarders is that she gives too much
food of one kind to each person. She
wastes and does not know how to
serve the leftovers attractively. A
F'renchwoman wastes nothing, not
even her smile.

can tell whether a girl will amount
to anything in business not only by
the way she goes about looking for
work, but by the way she dresses.

fringe. The same effect repeated it

RumpeImayer's FaVorite Rendezvous.
Rumpelmayer's is favorite rem
devious just now. Indeed, this famous
tea place is crowded at almost all sea-
sons, but at this time of the year it is
general meeting ground for stran-

resources without particle of previ-
GUS training. Every day of my life
I come across such women, and my
heart goes out to them.
There should be a law obliging a
man to save a certain portion of his
income every month and to place 1t in
his wife's name for her support In
case he dies first.
Preposterous?
Not at ALL A man seems to think he
will keep on as he is forever. Mis-
fortunes come, he loses his health or
his life, and all the widow has to con-
sole her is the remembrance of how
well she was taken care of while Jack
was alive.
1t is everlastingly to the credit of
our sex that women used to a life of
ease and protection rally from the
shock of being thrown on their own
responsibilities and become good bust
ness women and wage earners at an
age when it is exceedingly difficult to
learn.
On all sides one hears complaints of
the high prices of provisions. Women
cannot keep their household accounts
within limits. boarding house keepers
are losing money, ETC., and yet right
here in New York city little French
woman is running a most successful
table d'hote at As cents plate.
One Way Out.
I simply mention this to show that
where there's a will there's a way.

and to watch the gay crowd as it
comes and goes. The gowns worn are
often rather wonderful, and, as to the
hats, they fifty represent the millinery
fashions of the day after tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon at the tea room
I saw some exceedingly well dressed
women. and I was particularly struck
by the quaint smartness of some of
the coats. The majority of them were
extravagantly long. In many cases they
only cleared the hem of the round
skirt by about four inches. All of the
coats, however, nodded the figure
without giving the least impression of
tightness. This peculiar outline is the
leading feature of the styles of today.
The new corsets are especially con-
structed to support the form without
pinching in the waist, and, though the
general effect is that of graceful s1en-

derness, neither corset nor blouse Is
really tight.
But to return to the pretty hats and
frocks seen at Rumpelmayer's
stunning tailor made of dark crimson
serge had been donned by a charming
New York girl. The long coat was
lined with black satin and very SIM
ply trimmed with graduated bands
of black silk braid. The skirt was
round and exceptionally tight, and
where the coat opened in front it was
fastened over the bust with handsome
braid ornaments. One caught fasci-
mating glimpses every now and then
of a blouse of putty colored maltese
lace and muslin. A scarf tie of as
trakhan. accompanied by a fat muff,
was worn with this costume; also an
immensely wide, although not unduly
high, toque of ermine without tails

Y WANT to speak little bit about
evening dress, particularly the
kind you see at the theater.
Here in America our ideas are
very lax on the subject. A heavy
cloth gown is seated next to creations
of messaline and chiffon, while farther
along In the row a shirt waist parades
itself unashamed. In no other country
of the world can you see s1tch a mixed
display.
The hairdressing, too, is rather vague
when 1t comes to appropriateness.
The most deliberately dressed Psyche
in the whole audience is worn with a
$1.98 waist, while that woman over
there who has her skinny, oily hair
