IETT would strike every one as a
natural fact that one is born to
= be liked or disliked, to be fortu-
nate or unfortunate, and that one must
bow to the inevitable and accept the
decree OF Fate and be as happy as
possible" said the debutante; but you
will doubtless modify your opinion.
1.-THE Primrose School for Young La
dies was noted for pretty girls. A pref
ty girl with ordinary good qualities
usually finds q fiowery path But
Priscilla Barton was the exception
she was conspicuous by her homeli-
ness: she had positive genius for
dressing frightfully; her gowns, though
costly enough, would have set your
teeth on edge had they not been so
pathetic in the endeavor that they
were we'll intended.
'If ever there was a girl who was
regarded as a mistake it was Priscilla
She could not converse, she could not
dance and she seemed awkward and
ungainly The only thing in her favor
was that she was clever and good
natured.
being clever, she looked the situa-
ton over and glanced into her mirror;
the fact that she was amiable counted
q big stroke, for she was bound to
think of others. She knew she had
her way to win and fortunately her
disposition made this easy. BY re-
garding the pleasures and likes of 9TH
ers, and adapting herself, she developed
wonderful sympathy; indeed she Gull
tivated the desire to please to such an
extent that she never for an instant
consulted her own likes and dislikes
and without knowing why we all grew
to be fond of Priscilla.
1.-THE school motto was: IF you de-
sire to win applause strive for 1t
and deserve it. We never took 1t
seriously, but Priscilla put 1t in her
pipe and smoked 1t. She studied her
clothes, she took lessons in drawing
and coloring for no reason on earth
but to learn how to dress, and she
studied the fashion plates.
"She worked like a Trojan at her
music, French and the languages in
general. When the rest of us were
tripping the light fantastic in the
afternoon in the GYM or wandering

veoetabIe omeIets

The basis of vegetable omelet is
usually plain or savory omelet mix
ture, flayored, If liked, with a faint
suspicion of onion into which a PURGE
or saute of some kind of vegetable
such as spinach, tomatoes, celery, leek,
mushrooms ETC., is introduced.
The prepared vegetable is placed in
the center of the omelet before 1t is
folded into it's proper shape. Almost
any kind of vegetable may thus be
converted into an omelet, which usu-
ally takes the name of the vegetable
SO introduced.
The following is the best way of
making an omelet:
Beat UP the eggs, say five, in basin,
long enough to thoroughly amalga-
mate the whites with the yolks, add
about desertspoonful of finely
chopped parsley, half teaspoonful of
salt, and a tablespoonful of pepper;
stir in tablespoonful of cream or
milk. sSs

Stir the whole over brisk fire un-
til 1t thickens then spread the mix
ture on one side of the pan, and let 1t

of the comfort line, but the corset ma
terial skillfully cut and fitted, Is con-
tinued quite past the hip curve. Some
times the length Is exaggerated, some
times 1t is reasonable; but in any event
1t passes the curve of the hips and its
lower line is lost in the looser folds of
the dress skirt. This corset must, Of
course, be held down smoothly by sew
eral sets of garters. If it does not as in
certain French models, merge into well
fitted Knockers. The greatest care must
be taken to have the back lacing adj
just to the corset smoothly, for the
back of the directoire skirt in a supple
material shows a lumpiness or heavy
line in the underwear almost as quick
ly as the hips. For the reason many
corsetieres urge the front lace corsets,
whose back lines may be fitted with
perfect smoothness and remain uil.
changed. All corsets now, as we'll as
gowns, must be fitted with the wearer
standing and sitting. The corset of to-
day takes care with perfect satisfaction
of every portion of the figure with the
possible exception of the limbs. Some
of the corset models are slit on either
side of the front steel, the skirt over
the hips and legs being long and fas-
tened with garters. Other models are
slit in the back and fastened with
fanged garters. which will spread when
seated. Another idea is shown with a
gusset of silk elastic on either side,
which allows the skirts of the corset
to spread. In all the spring models the
bust is lower with as little spread as
possible, the waist should be round,
the hips straight, front and back
straight, and there should be no evil
dence of the abdomen.

CLOSETS AND SHELVES,
DRESSING TABLES, ETC.

A clever woman, who, at the ex-
pense of two or three dollars, con-
verified an Objectionable doorway. IN
her apartment into most convenient
desk and bookcase, has set an example
that many housewives could follow
with profit.
Fortunately for the purpose OF the
one woman, the casing was in the sit
ting room, the door proper opening into
the next room. The door was removed
from it's hinges and sent to the store
room, but it might quite as well have
been closed and left in place. For the
casing became the secretary frame. as
1t were, and twelve inches from the
top a shelf was fitted and nailed into
place. A similar shelf was then placed
foot below the first one, this second
being an inch shallower than the cas-
ing. Four inches under was nailed
third, this being of very thin wood, for
at that point the desk began Dividing
the lower section at intervals of six
inches with very thin wood, two pigeon
holes were formed at each end, leaving
a space in the center of which one par
tition was placed horizontally for
writing paper. At either end, just be-
low the shelf, two small drawers were
made and attached by carpenter.
An IncIosed Writing Shelf
Two feet lower another shelf, also
an inch narrower than the casing, was
joined, and to this was added flap,
which formed the writing section when
down and when up fitted in flush with
the second shelf, entirely closing the
desk proper. Either shelves or drawers
and a cupboard may finish the bottom.
the latter being trif1e more expensive
than the former. A girl who has the
slightest cleyerness with tools can make
this herself except when drawers are
desired.
The whole was painted to correspond
with the woodwork of the room.
For the girl who must contrive to
make her bedroom into a sitting room
without conveying the idea of it's real
use, such convenience is invaluable.
The best way of arranging shelves is
to have the top serve as a place for
ornaments and another below for
books. From this one curtains placed
on a small brass road may hang to
conceal underclothes and even toilet
articles arranged on the lower shelves.
Incidentally it is the part of wisdom so
to arrange the draperieS that they will
not fly apart Unexpectedly, thus re-
vealing domestic secrets. For such a
purpose invisible hooks and eyes an
sWer admirably.
Closet-Door Dressing Table
A closet door, if one is SO fortunate
as to have a closet is easily converted
into dressing table by screwing on
mirror and under it either a small
shelf with rim to prevent articles
from slipping off, or, what is less ex
pensive, an old-fashioned wooden knife
and fork box.
Bags tackled tightly below this will
hold brushes and combs, hand mirror,
and all necessary toilet articles, while
the shelf or box may be used as a
table when the former are in service.
When the door is closed the whole is
shut in from sight. The mirror must
not be hung, but screwed tightly, or 1t
will knock and swing whenever the
door is moved.
