For person who has laundry brought
| regularly in a basket from the laundress
| a big envelope made of rubber sheeting
is invaluable. The envelope should be
| fully the size of the waSherwoman'S bas-
ket and should have bellows ends ana
| sides made by plating the materials at
those points. There should be a loop
and buttonhole to fasten the lap.
Girls of the manageable age are ZEN
| tirely selfsh'-at least, that is what
| French scientist, Leon de Nerveille, de-
clares He bases his conclusion upon the
answers to 300 letters which he sent to
as many girls, asking them il they de
sired marriage; If so, why so; if not, why
| not.
Almost without exception says the
professor, tragically, they ignored the
idea of love in their answer. 1t is sur
prising - repellent = $ Girls
of the age for men to love are entirely
selfish"
Twenty-six of the girls who said they
wanted. to get married wanted it that
| they might have greater freedom and g
unchaperoned. Seventeen thought hus
bands would give them chance to tray-
ell. One hundred and six wanted their
own homes Eleven wanted to escape
their fathers home. Eight said if they
had husbands they would be free to
amuse themselves Just three looked for
| love as reason for wishing marriage
OF the six who did not want marriage
three gave i'll health as a reason. Two
hated men and one wanted a career.
The 300 letters were evenly divided
among French, English, German and
used the word love; to them marriage
was a means of escaping chaperonage.
The English, too, furnished large plu
ralty of those who saw in marriage
chance for freedom and pleasure.
Many persons look on flirting as dis
| tinctly dangerous amusement, but an eX-
perienced physician asserts that from
medical point of view it is a healthful
and invigorating pastime. When two
young persons, he says, begin Irritation
| they become animated and gay and their
| hearts beat faster In consequence the
| blood circulates more freely through the
body and many benefits follow. Digestion
| is aided by the quickened circulation and
i the brain is washed and renovated, max
| ing one feel much filter for mental work.
But for people who suffer from heart
disease flirting is a dangerous pastime as
the heart should be kept as quiet as
possible. Another authority says tirt-
ing is one of the finest trainers and
quickeners of the mind in existence. 1t
makes for social grace, balance, rapidly
of thought, and felicity of expression. To
obtain these good results both parties
to Irritation must play the game proper
| Iy, but at the same time they must real
ize that it is a game, otherwise there
! will come heartburnings.
| Finish what you begin, my friends.
The curse of the average woman is thar
she has no perseverance. She under
takes four and five things at once and
leaves them unfinished without scruple
ha ole Ub kShe
prefers to do. Now, this is bad train
ing, that's all. If you allow a child to
grow up this way, throwing away one
thing for another, she will never amount
to anything. In affairs of the heart she
will be tickle. In affairs of the head
she will be as unreliable as a will-o'-the-
wisp. The world is full of people who
keep changing their positions. You meet
them one month doing one thing, and
another month they are engaged in just
the opposite. They are intellectual
tramps, and it is impossible for them to
stay in one mental attitude any length
of time. Nothing is so fascinating as
the lure of change unless it is that of
chance. Once you get liking for that
sort of thing it possesses and cripples
not built on that plan. The prizes go
! to those who stay put and make good.
There never was truer prOverb than
rolling stones gather no moss. Take
| yourself in hand and look around your
house. count the things you have left I'M
| finished and take them one by one and
| finish them before you start a single
new thing. This will be a mental tonic
| to you better than anything else in the
world. If you are a business woman
keep tabs on yourself. Don't let your
self get into the way of leaving loose
ends. for in that method lies sure fail
ure. And it is very insidious weak
ness. Half the time you don't know you
are guilty of it.
Few persons are aware of the risks
| they run by permitting dogs to lick their
hands or faces. They are liable to be
| infected, says a veterinary surgeon with
a dangerous kind of worm which in man
forms cysts in the brain, liver and other
parts of the body. This danger is so
we'll known to hygienists that in some
cities there are bylaws that make the
keeping of dog in a slaughter house
! illegal.
| The immense draped toque often
made of soft fine straw or of lingerie
materials, is the latest manifestation of
the milliner in midsummer headgear
These hats are worn fiat down on the
head in the back, and the most usual
trimming is All immense aigrette.
Some women VINO are nOuSekeeperS,
and who claim to be adopts in the man
agement of a house, wonder why they
cannot get rid of the accumulation of
dust in their rooms. They dust every
day, they will tell you, but there always
seems to be an ever-increasing amount,
even in the face Of all their precautions
The trouble is that some women do not
know how to dust properly. They firt
feather buster at every ornament and
article of furniture in the room, and
think they have done the work well.
busting in this way means nothing but
Tapping the dust from one part of the
room to another, for nearly always it is
done with the windows closed.
One woman has this to say about
busting: Throw away the feather
buster as far out of your sight as you
can send it and use a cheesecloth buster
that will be far more suitable for the
purpose. 1t should be moistened with wa
ter and yet have no suggestion of being
wet: used this way it will gather up and
