who don't keep themselves tidy, well
dressed and attractive when under the
nome roof. The woman who values
the tenderest love and admiration, as
we'll as the respect of the men of her
hosuehold should accomplish her real
grimy task in the smirched clothes
when every male person is outside the
locked doors of her domicile. Home
makers who go contrary to this bit of
preaching will gradually lose the deli.
cate attentions and the tender helpful
ness of their own men-folks. It's a
natural trend of masculine nature to
let women of unlovely appearances
wait upon themselves, anywhere and
everywhere.
AS to saving grace, in the guise of
money, through wearing untidy and
bedraggled clothes at home-it really
counts little to the family treasury.
1t isn't necessary to buy the finest
qualities of fabric for dressing sacQues
and morning gowns and afternoon
costumes. IneSe garments may be
plainly and prettily made. The cost
of pretty shirtwaist suit of excellent
quality is but trifling.
A half-dozen morning sacques can
be built at small expense. 1t isn't
necessary for the home undergarments
10 be beruffled and trimmed with lace.
True il is LAT plain garments with a
dainty touch in finishing, neat and
clean, charmingly distinguish the pre-
siding genius Of the home.
Likewise, just az the business
woman is supposed to dress we'll and
suitably because she earns wages, so
the homemaker may be supposed to
dress we'll and suitably because she
earns remuneration.
The wife and mother, the woman
who runs the house, should dress up
to the dignity and beauty of her po-
sition But it doesn't follow that she
should dress deliberately and eXpen
sively. Many a calico gown, neat and
trig, has so set off a woman across
the breakfast table that the man in
the case has carried the pretty refeC-
ton in his heart all day, and to the
extent of arriving home on time for
dinner instead of dropping into his
club or arranging a date down town.

FULL WEIGHT L0AVES.
Chicago Bakers Must Give Sixteen
Ounces for a Pound.

Chicago, April 17.-City Sealer
HIGHLANDER has begun a canvass to
ascertain the weight of loaves of
bread sold by dealers throughout the
CITY. Owing to litigation over the
CITY ordinance requiring bakers to give
full weight 1oaves to customers, Mr.
Ktellander is powerless to begin
prosecutions, but he announced that
the data he obtains will be used in a
further effort to prevent bakers from
selling short weight bread
Several months ago Judge Windes
held that the bread ordinance was I'M
constitutional and an appeal was
taken by the city to the supreme
court. A decision is expected from
that tribunal within the next week,
and If Judge Windes opinion Is sus-
tanned Mr.. HIGHLANDER proposes to
urge the passage of a new ordinance.
