THAN 81
NEW LAW EFFECTIVE JANUARY
MAKES FINE OF $500 FOX
VIOLATION OF NEW LAW
PASSED BY LAST CONGRESS.

During it's last session the United
States congress passed a law making
it a penal offense to write and issue
a check for a sum of money less in
value tnan 81. This law goes into
effect on the first day of January
next and there is a fine of $500 or
irapris, nment for six months in jail
for violation of the law. Congress
had been closed for some time be-
fore the passage of the measure be-
came generally known, and now that
II is known there is indignation at
the measure, wonder that it was
adopted. and strong chorus CT pro-
tests against it has been sent in to
the United States treasury depart
ment, which department is, appar-
emily responsible for the legislation.
The most plausible explanation OF
the reason for the law is that it is
an effort to strike at the mail order
business which is now so common
with department stores in large cities.
But the facilities which otherwise ex-
list for the transmission of small sums
of money through the mails would
seem to prove that this explanation
is not sufficient The words of this
somewhat remarkable legislation are
that mo person shall make, issue,
circulate or pay out any note, check,
memorandum, token or other obllga-
ton for a less sum than 81 intended

and, not only pay attention, but demand 1t. They spend more time trying to at tract attention than in doing their work, for they regard marriage as release from bondage, and therefore everything elsr Is secondary.
 Workers, not Martyrs
 When young girl gets it into her head that she is a martyr because she must earn her own living, the next thought that naturally follows is that some man ought to support her, and she sets herself to work to capture a hus- band. If half the time she spends in thinking and dreaming and planning about getting away from the "drudgery of business life were spent in doing her work we'll, she would be success in any walk in life.
 And when the worker is widow bent on matrimony the situation becomes in tense. Pity the bachelor or widower who employs designing female of this type! If he doesn't sigh for lodge in a wilderness very shortly he must be made of flint.
 The ideal business life permits the en- p1oyer to choose his helpers, but in real life they are often thrust upon him, and he must bear the consequences with what grace he can muster.

 the position will be cheerfully given up,
 but the successful workers are not out

ally used is the convenient compressed yeast, but when my pupil had her les sons in bread-making she had first of all to learn to make yeast, as housekeepers then depended almost wholly upon home made yeast.
 And even now, if one lives at quite a distance from town, and the grocer doesn't come regularly for orders, 1t is most convenient to have ones yeast jug I know housekeepers who never let themselves get out of this necessary article, generally using the last cupful with which to start a new supply.
 It is no difficult matter, this of yeast making, as you will soon discover. The dread of undertaking it is far more than the real task of doing 1t, as IS true in so many things. You will need the follow ing ingredients in the given proportions Simple Ingredients
 One large potato, one tablespoonful of hops, loose, one pint of boiling water, one heaping tablespoonful of flour, one heaping teaspoonful of sugar, one heap ing teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of ginger, onc-half a yeast cake dissolved in half cupful of luke warm water or half a cupful of yeast Wash the potato well, pare it, and put 1t at once into cold water. If you neglect to do this the potato will discolor and spoil the appearance of the yeast.
 Steep the hops in the boiling water.
 Mix the flour, sugar, ginger and salt in large bowl, then grate the potato into this flour mixture; let the hop water boil for one minute, theris strainkit over the potato and flour, and mix 1t as quickly as possible. It should thicken like starch with no cooking, but if 1t fails

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 ill 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 1t as thin as possible.
 Push the bone in the casing and up into the, little pocket Secure 1t here twist through the center of the bone and to each side of the casing. An inch and one-half dbo9e the waist-line, sew through bone and casing again. "sprinsing' the Bono
 It is to be Sprung" across the waist line by pushing the bone into the casing 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 1t is not considered so desirable for costume waist.
 One-quarter inch additional seam-al- 1owance 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 lowe6 edge of the waist; 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 l above 1t.

AOOHl Anybody can make D bread" fancy I hear one of

you say.
 = That may be true, but what kind of bread-good, bad or indifferent? That makes all the difference in the world The truth is, there Is nothing in the whole range of cooking that IS so uneven in it's results as bread. That IS the experience of the ajority of cooks, amateur and professional I was talk Ing on thi. subject once with the very capable woman who was at that time, administering kitchen affairs for me, and who always had the most delicious and toothsome bread.
 x "You never seem to make mistake, Mary, or to have bad luck with your baking" I said.
 There's no need of either, madam 9 was Mary's reply. "1t IS just lack of care When I make bread I put my mind to 1t, and see to it that 1t is right. !"
 And then Mary made statement that quite contradicts the one made by the girl who received the proposition for this lesson so cavalierly:
 "And not everybody can make good bread, no matter how hard they try. There's Nellie, now"-Nellie was her assistant, whom she was teaching to cook-"it's no use to try to teach her :; she never can do it; she's too heavy handed;. she'll never make a cook l was telling her that this morning"
 Alsrtnsss Necessary in Cooking
 At first I didn't quite see what Mary meant, but I found out by watching. The girl moved clumsily; she touched things as though hef hand was of iron l; she clutched rather than held whatever was in her grasp; there was no light ness, no alertness to any of the motions. She was just heavy; that described her better than any other word would have done. I have seen few people like her since, and I have found out in every case that they were not good

will realize the importance of knowing thoroughly how to prepare this funda- mental food.
 To sweeten the weeks lesson, how ever, I am giving you some additional
 household suggestions.
 Conserves and Marmalades COnserVeS are Superlat1ve preserves. There is no difference between the two in proportions of fruit and sugar, the old-f fashioned rule of pound for pound" being followed in the majority of recipes for conserves, but the method of cook ing the fruit after the sugar is added makes the difference, a favorful one, between "conserves" and "preserves. When making preserves the fruit is | cooked in the syrup to the "done" degree only, a careful housewife taking great care her peaches, plurns, pears or what not do not lose their fair proportions through over-cooking, but in making conserves, of which there are two kinds, the soft and the dry, long cooking is the rule.

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.
 Neatness Stepping-stons
 The ur1tidy woman can never succeed | in business life, simply because no man | can like an untidy woman. He may have | to keep her i'll his office for some reason other than that she does her work well, but he endurcs her rather than takes any l satisfaction out of her work. And the l urtidy 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 Tread and soi1ed 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 So1led, | frayed best clothes in their kitchens and ! think themselves very economical, while | others who have no kitchens regard an l 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 1t be neat, serviceable, plain, clean office dress by all means.
 A Pleasing Appearance 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 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 1t 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 frmness necessary to educate his
 wife along this line, the man drops out

 Tailors' tacks are made by taking all ternately one long stitch Gan inch or morc) 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 chalked 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 scam-line. Inserting the Hook-and-Eye Bone
 The hook-and-eye bone is stitched in the front without the boning attach ment. Baste. to the insidee of, each front edge an, ineh-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 a row of stitching one-eighth of an inch inside of the fold edge An inch and one-quartcr 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.

I open seam over 1t, 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 onc-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 waisti 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 of 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 1t at each side, leaving one-half inch of the bone unattached to the seam.

Unless one is certain of being able to gauge the three-eighths of an inch accurately by the eye, 1t 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.
