C0L0rs for MiddIe-Aged MatrOnS

have a tinge of pink in their cheeks
look most attractive clothed in a pastel
tone of wistaria, while the blue-eyed
woman of uncertain age may, by wear
ing this color, bring golden glints into
hair already faded.
Deep, rich, golden browns and GRIM
sons are the middle-age brunette's own
colors and will always be safe choice
if one is undecided.
The woman who is neither a decided
brunette nor blonde will find that most
of the new colors are becoming, al
though the faded pastel shades will
probably suit her better than the deep,
decided colors. such as crimson or DARK
brown. In green, if her complexion is
clear and there is a fresh pink tint in
her cheeks. she will be most attrac-
tive.
, When it comes to designs, the mid
dle-aged woman has things entirely
her own way, whether she be of the
short, fat type or the tall, lean class
for long skirts in the plain gored mod
els are in favor again, fact for which
the short, stout sisterhood should be
thankful.
Panels too which appear on at least
half the new styles, are a boon to this
type as thoy apparently add to the
height Gowns are now of one mate
rial, another point in favor for every
one knows how a waist of one color
and a skirt of another tend to cut the
figure, giving a dumpy effect to those
who are short and inclined to be stout.

OCCUPATION WHOLESOME

Prof. W. L Thomas, writing in the
American Magazine, claims that wom-
en- are better when they work. He
says:
"But I do not contend that women
should go into the occupations SO much
because the occupations need them,
though that is also true, as because of
the need women have of the occupa-
tions. No one Is altogether either male
or female. The life of men and wom-
en- corresponds more than it differs.
There is no mental function absent in
either sex. The occupations represent
modes in which the mind expresses it
self They are the moral field, the field
of will. of experience, of practice and
of concrete purposes. In this sense
work is not duty, but a right. So
ciety may not only claim service from
the individual, but the individual may
claim the right to function.
"At present the strain on women
even in the well-to-do families is in
tolerable. Their isolation, the triviality
of their interests and their dependence
on the wall of another make them ner-
vous and intensely personal, and mere
ly to relieve the tension, If for nothing
else, they should prepare themselves
for an occupation which they can prac-
tice If they do not enter marriage,
which they may internit in those in
tervals when the child is entirely help
less and which they can resume when
the child is adult and departed. Such
a preparation would not only overcome
their feeling of dependence, but would
tend to make their choice in marriage
more rational. And do not think the
ideals of eugenics can be realized until
woman is as free as man in the choice
of a mate"

DO YOU KNoW2

That Isle thread and silk stockings
should be washed before wearing to
lessen the danger of dropped stitches?
The washing fills up the meshes.
That most of the dealers in fine tan
shoes now advise polishing them be-
fore wearing? This prevents that un-
slightly spotting.
That a novelty in parasol handles is
covered in kid to match the frock with
which it is to be worn?
That liquid dressing for suede shoes
can be bought in all colors and makes
that perishable style of footgear more
practical?
That the pile of suede, both in gloves
and shoes, can be raised by small
stiff brush used with rotary motionP
That tan shoes are only appropriate
for day time wear and are bad taste
for formal occasions?
That many girls prevent their pumps
from slipping at the heels by putting
little photographers paste at back of
stocking just below the top of pump?
That some of the new shoes have n
seam running from the instep to toe?
1t is supposed to make the foot look
more slender.
The difference between Russian and
Tuxedo nets, the leading favorites in
wells? The first have square or oblong
meshes, while the latter have round or
oblong spots.
That short curls and soft puffs are
being noticed in the new coiffure,
rather than the ugly, stiff puffs of re-
cent date which looked as if one had
adorned the head with a half dozen
bakers rolls?

Girls Room Index of the Owner

Now right here begins the most at
tractive part of it all. The clever girl
who owns this pretty nest had bought
at a bargain sale bolt of chintz, in
brown, with a misty tracery of green
over a cream background. She had
made of the chintz shams and val
anced bedcover, dresser and chiffonier
covers, plain hemmed draperies for her
two windows, and then she made the
box couch cover, cushions and stand
cover of crash, with the design of
chintz cut. out and appliqued on the
edges.
All this meant work for this girls
nimble fingers, but the cost was so
little and the reward so great that she
felt more than repaid.
One feels a sense of peacefulness
and rest on entering this room-the
keynote of which is harmony and sim
plicity. And one knows instinctively
the sweet nature Of the girl to whom
the room belongs.

NHE middle-aged woman must give
scrupulous attention to every de-
Il tail of her toilet if she would look
her best. Especially is this statement
true of the selection of co!ors. Al
though this seasons fashion has been
extremely kind to the elderly matron'

the styles in shades and models de-
sirned for mothers and those that are
considered smart for debutantes'

THE USEFUL GARD INDEX

DO YOU card catalogue your house,
keeping? If you do not you are spend
ing about twice the time and energy
on BART of your Housekeeping than
YOU need to. Instead of having to look
things UP anew every time you want TO
know something, you have only to find
it once, entrust it to a card, catalogue
it in it's proper place and then II is
yours at moments notice. -
A great many housekeepers use the
card system for their cooking recipes.
Many Cleveland women are famlllar
with the excellent card index system
for recipes which was issued seVerai
years ago by Mrs. kirk, CleVelaIl9 u
lecturer and teacher on cooking, ana
other women use a simple system or
their.own devising. Most of those VINO
have tried the card system say tney
would, not go back to the old method
of keeping a lot of cook books with
their large amount of dead material IN
the way of recipes which never are
used.
But the card system may be allied to
other realms than the strictly culinary.
One woman keeps a little file at the
back of her cooking file which is de-
voted to stains and their removal.
When she reads of a good way to re-
move grass stains. for instance, sne
cuts it ont, pastes it to a card and adds
II to her file. AS she tries these Yarl-
Gus suggestions for cleaning fabrics
and removing stains she checks up her
index, destroying the directions which
have proved unsatisfactory and check
ing those which are especially good
Another little card index she keeps
ia devoted to sewing hints, especially
for the making of fancy bags and 9TH
err small fancy articles, the directions
for which she would easily forget II
they were not kept where they would

DOING UP LINEN COLLARS

To 'do up" white linen collars with
a. laundry finish: For one-half dozen
collars blend we'll in cold water two
large tablespoonfuls of lump starch,
over this pour nearly a quart of boiling
water, stirring constantly; place over
the fire and boil for five minutes.
When this starch is cool enough to
nut the hands in, take each collar,
which has been we'll washed and dried,
and rub the starch in well on both
sides: go over the surface of each thor
oughly and rub the collars between
your hands several times, putting on
plenty of the warm starch. The secret
lies in getting the starch we'll into the
dry collars.
Roll up and leave over night. With
an old soft piece of cloth rub the sur
plus starch off each collar before you
iron it.
Before placing the iron on the wet
collar lay over it, first on one side and
then on the other, an old linen hand
kerchief; just run the iron over quick
ly once or twice; then remove the
handkerchief This keeps the iron
from sticking to the collar
Now iron the collar until it is per-
fectly dry, turn it over by hand, and
button the ends together to have it
shaped nicely.

Nj OF absolutely new in motor modes,
for people have been using them
\ for several months, are the dou-
Bile leather cases containing cushion,
a wadded silk kimono and an cider
down rug. The cases are made of
morocco, in red, green, purple or
borwn, generally to coincide with the
car upholstery. They are lined with
silk to match, while the contents are
also in the same shade.
In a pocket a pair of bedroom Slip
pers is bestowed. Some of these cases
are even supplied with a little board
like those designed for writing acces-
sories, only fitted instead with those
for the toilette, brush and comb, hair
pins, and so on, while at the back is a
pocket for papers. These are easily
slipped into the cases and take up
practically no room.
A fresh notion is bag made OF the
leather with bloomlike surface calleo

kerchiefs and gloves. 1t is found IN
all sorts of beautiful new shades OF

KEEP THEM AT SCHOOL

Shall the, children remain in school
or go to work? The old question arises
in thousands Of homes this week. Each
case must, of course, be settled upon
its own merits. Parents and children
in family conference have the de-
cision. The same general principle
however, is of universal application.
Keep the children in school. Even
at the cost of household economy,
even if some pleasures must be cur
tailed and some personal comforts
foregone in order to keep the son and
daughter at their studies, do not hesl-
tate for moment at the sacrlflce'
The gain is worth the effort.
Look over the statistics showing the
relative efficiency in the game OF Ire
of the young man who leaves school,
let us say, at fourteen, and of the one
who stays till he is eighteen. Even
estimating ones worth by the number
of dollars he can earn each year-a
paltry method, indeed-it pays to stay
at ones studies.
This is a specialized age. The world
wants men and women who can 90
some particular thing better than
anyone else can do it. The demand is
for strong minds, strong bodies, wills
to do, determination to push forward
Many of the worlds leaders have been
training, but they succeeded not be-
cause but in spite of the fact that
their education was limited. The fisk
is too great for the boy and girl OF
today to take unnecessarily.
Keen the children in school? By all
means. Let no resource be untoucned
in order to send them back to their
studies when the year begins next
week or the week after. The sacrifices
that may be necessary to give them
this advantage now will be amply re-
paid in the year to come. Do not
let immediate gain overshadow the
ultimate advantage. Keep them IN

but ginger ale.
"I know of one bride who got only
one set of salad forks, so she thank
fully overlooked the fact that they
were of a design calculated to make
one a misanthrope for life. But when
a dilatory cousin sent her some per-
fectly beautiful salad forks and she
simultaneously got a wedding invita-
ton herself, she took the hideous forks
to a jeweler and requested that ne
obliterate her initial, with which the
forks had been marked, and put on
that Of the bride on whom she was
going to inf1ict them.
" oh, yes,' said the man, languidly,
as he examined the forks, we can do
it. This will be the third time we've
changed the initial on these same
forks
Now, my mother got some beautiful
presents when she was married--years
ago I think people had kind hearts
and really loved their friends-still,
she, too, had her trials. Among them
was a dessert set which still fingers
among the family treasures. 1t is
wondrous thing of bright green glass
that mother says is cut, but am
positive it was run through a hydrau-
lie press by an apprentice who after
ward went insane.

on I'D above it like an Eiffel tower.
Perched precariously on this tower Is
large silver bird, with wooden
expression and a tail like that or a
flying machine. There are q dozen
smaller glass dishes, replicas in min

on the table, is to appall the brightest,
most intrepid spirit and paralyze any
flow of wit that may be there.
STILL that dessert set is bewltcned,
for I've bribed every maid we ever had
to smash it accidentally-and they
break everything else on the premises
while that escapes. I believe If TOOK

would crumble the hatchet as thougn

tale.
Another ingenious article for use on
the road is a map measurer made OF
gold. There is a tiny wheel at the
base of the measurer, and as this is
run over the Surface of the map the
distance traversed is indicated on
small dial at the rate of an inch to
a mile The measurer also has small
compass and magnifying glass in it.
Some of the newest flower vases, and
people seem to use these in town cars
more and more, have silver pin which
is thrust through between the stalks
of the flowers at the top to keep them
in place. An object which certainly
our grandmothers never had on their
chatelaines and which was unknown to
us within a few months ago is little
gold case looking like an elongated
scent bottle, and containing stick of
lip salve with which the owner can
moisten her lips after a long drive
Another great boon is little case OF
soap papers fitted into a handbag.
They are much more convenient thau
carrying a soap case, besides being
handy for an al fresco toilette, when
the only basin is a wayside brook and
everybody wants the soap at the same
moment

EQUAL SUFFRAGE

Lady Joseph Ward, wife of the prime
minister Of New Zealand, who arrived
in New York with her husband, is re-
ported as clubbing the Newport society
women who opposed Mrs. o. H. p. Bel
mont in her efforts in the cause of
suffrage as snobs. The women of New
Zealand do not drink anything but
water and they exercise all their rights
in politics. They seldom make speeches
in public, however, do not sit on Juries
and while there was once lady mayor,
there seems no inclination to repeat
the experiment. There isn't a woman
in New Zealand, she says, who does
not know all the members of parlia-
ment and who cannot talk intelligent
ly on any political question. The wom-
en- do great deal of electioneering in
quiet, ladylike way, afternoon teas
playing a great part.
Plans Big Suffrage Reception
Philadelphia feels that it must look
to it's laurels in the matter of woman
suffrage enthusiasm, now that New
York has set such good example, and
is planning a campaign to begin with
the coming of Mrs. 2ankhurst and her
daughter to that city Mrs. Sarah Platt
Pankhurst, and a committee consisting
of prominent women will act as recep-
tion committee. Mrs. Rachel Foster
Avery. prominent also as a clubwoman,
is the leading suffragist of Phila-
delphia.
Possible Club Issue
The biennial meeting of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs will be
held next May in Cincinnati, and while
Mrs. Philip N. Moore, president of the
federation, will not be in sympathy
with any movement suggesting the
discussion of the suffrage question, it
will no doubt have to be brought be-
fore the convention in some way. The
majority of clubwomen have not been
in favor of woman suffrage in the past,
but the new movement may create
commotion, even among such conserv-
ative forces as the federation repre-
sents.
