WoMAN's WORK

Last year San Antonios feminine
breadwinners had an innovation in the
young woman who went from house
to house teaching mothers the educa-
tional system used in the public
schools. This was to facilitate home
study, the mothers thus having COM
prehensive view of the course. The
idea was original with the young wo-
man, who pocketed a neat sum from
her novel scheme.
This fall witnesses an unusual de-
parture in one of the women of the
moneymaking world. The position re-
quires sheer pluck and a voluminous
voice for it's success. The young wo-
man who is trying it's merits is mega
phone information on one of the big
sightseeing autos that just now are
handling the big influx of sightseers.
With one arm she swings onto the
vehicle With the other she holds to
her megaphone and shouts Justify as
often as the many points of interest
call for.
Another unusual pursuit is the young
woman who is making the faces of the
prominent society woman in silhouette
cutting. The pen drawings take but a
few minutes, and the women with good
profiles are promoting the novelty with
a pretty rush.-San Antonio Journal.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-21

fearing this trouble, put ammonia only
into the water, but the grave objection
to it is that in order to be strong
enough to cut the grease without the
aid of soap the water must be made
so strong that it hurts the skin of the
hands. There WILL however, be no need
for disseminating the use of soap II 1t
is properly converted into suds.
To do this a cake is put into pan,
and boiling water or that which Is hot
is poured in. This process makes suds
Immediately. Then a fork or other
sharp instrument may be thrust into
the soap and the latter pushed around
the water for a moment or two to dis
solve. The tablet is then removed
and the water cooled sufficiently so
the hands may be put in.
Dishes cannot be made to look so
well if washed with mop as when
rubbed with a cloth.
The order of washing begins with
the glasses, because they contain no
grease. Tea cups or non-greasy
plates come next, and then the silver.
If possible, that water should then be
turned out and a fresh supply pre-
pared for plates and other china. Wip-
ing must be done as soon as convent
ent after the articles leave the water,
and if one person is doing the work
it is better to take out only two or
three pieces at a time, drying those
before removing others from the suds

tions that I treated the same way

"Well, you are better than an IN

ing like passing a good thing on"
Self-matching will be popular this
winter. Solid colors will be worn, and
why not have your last years lace
garniture dyed to match your this
years costume?
If you possess a handsome waist or
two of white lace or silk have them
dyed to match your gown, for the sep
arate waist is not so fashionable as 1t
once was unless 1t happens to be the
same color as your coat and skirt.
A woman said to me, Il am always
ashamed of makeshlfts."
Foolish womanl
Be proud of your makeShifts, my
friends, if they save money and make
you look better, as they often do, than
the things you buy outright.
The individual note in dressing is
always to be desired-don't think for
an instant that it Is not.
If you buy a gown out OF q store

It will improve the gown and your
temper--for a woman is always sweeter
in disposition when she discovers that
she looks as we'll or better than her
sister women. KATE BURR.

MUNICIPAL HOUSING

The question of housing is the most
important of any of the municipal
problems concerning public health. In
many European cities, after 1t became
apparent that proper and healthy tene-
ments and houses for wage learners
would not be built by private capital,
the work of building such houses has
been undertaken by the city. The
London County council shows a deficit
of more than 100000 900 as a result of
its housing schemes, only one of which
in the last twenty years-land bought
from the duke of Northumberland in
the vicinity of Trafalgar Square, has
shown a pront, this exception being
due to the fact that the dukes agent
was not alive to the situation and sold
his lordship's land for a low price, and
great hotel companies, needing the
land Immediately for hotel purposes,
purchased it at a good price, hence
this profitable exception.
Liverpool has spent many million
dollars in building houses for its poor.
and 1t has shown better financial re-
suits. Municipal tenements are rented
for about one shilling a room per
week; the investment is paying a small
rate of interest to the city besides
putting a stated sum annually in a
sinking fund which will ultimately
give the property free to the city.
The most successful municipal hous-
ing work is shown in the German city
of Ulm, in Wurtemberg. About
twenty years ago, Ulm began buying
large tracts of land on the outskirts
of the city for the purpose of secur-
ing for the poor of the population
cheap, good and healthy houses, each
with a little garden.
These houses were sold to Workmen
on reasonable terms, which enable
-earners, after given number of
years, to own homes in their own
right, the result being that working
men and clerks have, in a large meas
ure, been provided with well-built,
healthy homes which many of them
own and many more are in the way of
doing so.
The death rate in Ulm is lower than
the average death rate of Germany,
while among small babies the mortality
has fallen very low. The tax rate Is
lower than in any other city in Wur-
temberg,

bright-eyed little women who form a
patch of color in the movements of
Chicago's visitors from the Far East
have not been completely won over by
the glamour of State street show win
dows. women are women the world
over" naively confessed demure Mrs.
K. Midzuno, a diminutive member OF
the party which made the automobile
rounds of the city today. 1--WE see what
looks nice, then we wear it. Your
American women wear gorgeous cos
tunes. Some of their dresses are like
ours. Some of ours will be like yours.
The dress of the Japanese woman all
the time is becoming more like the
dress of the American woman She
looked with some show of GOODNESS at
her own dainty attire which seemed to
have faded in her eyes. Not few OF
the modishly appareled American visit
ors at the Congress hotel were looking
with an appreciative glance at the fine
silken robes so artistically girdled about
the sprightly Japanese danes, but as
Mrs. Midzuno has sagely observed,
Women are women the world over. -

SLAVES TO BRIDGE

Chicago society women-hundreds
of them-stand on bridge at midnight,
also at midday and during the after
noon and evening, and frequently In
the morning, and, according to certain
authorities, if they do not retrace their
steps, will cross into the darkness Of
well, something awful.
This indictment of fashionable wom-
en- was not returned by a reformer or
a sociologist from the university, but
comes from men and women who
stand high in the best citizenship Of
Chicago.
dn an article they have contributed
to Good Housekeeping Magazine for
October these accusers aver that every
social, church and domestic duty is
lost sight of in the fascination for
bridge.
The contributors are Eames Mac
Veagh, Arthur Burrage Farwell, Mrs.
Edward L. Upton, president of the
Chicago Women's club; Mrs. Alexan-
der Stevenson, president of the Fort
nightly; the Rev. q. Barney Phillips,
until recently rector of Trinity Epis-
copal church, and the Rev. James s..
Stone of st. James church.
Mr. MacVeagh, son of the secretary
of the treasury, than whom no one in
other days could lead a cotillon more
brilliantly, says:
with women of leisure the diver
sion is a vice. They play all day,
either to kill time or to make money
mostly for the latter. I know a girl,
the daughter of a general in the army,
who boasts that she dresses herself
entirely by her winnings at bridge"
Mr. Farwell says: "If that partic
ular form Of iniquity could be stamped
out it would do more to elevate and
normalize a certain division of So
ciety than any other one thing that
could happen. 1t Is either responsible
for or the result of much Of the social
unrest of the day."
Mrs. Stevenson mentions gruesomely
the existence of a sanitarium outside
of Washington which the head physi-
clan says is filled with patients in
state of nervous collapse from card
playing

A WOMAN I met in Detroit this
"A summer wore a perfectly matched
IA gown and belongings of rare
and unusual hue.
As noticed how the hat harmonized
to the instant with the cloth of the
gown, how the elegantly embroidered
waist and lace trimmings matched with
exactness, how the gloves were of the
same shade, how the ribbon belt, the
long, willowy plume, the velvet facings
even, were all of a color, 1 said on,
what a job of matching, in every store
in the city, to say nothing of sending
to New York besides, that woman has
had"
And 1 expressed the thought to her.

with that kind of a smile that capable
women wear when we unknoWingly

clothes-they are dyed"

they are neW-there Is no dye about
your things except the original color

She smiled her superior smile. "They
are dyed, nevertheless, and dyed to
match my gown"
"I found when I bought this two
piece suit-at a bargain-that 1
couldn't get a thing to match it in
waist and hat or plumes or gloves.

GRAPE CATSUP

For grape catsup an old Connecti-
cut housekeeper used five pounds of
grapes, two and a half liberal pounds
of sugar, half pint of vinegar, a ta-
blespoonful of salt. Boil the grapes in
the vinegar until they are soft While
they are cooking press them with an
agate or wooden spoon to extract the
juice. When ready strain through a
very thin bag and squeeze the bag
as hard as possible to extract every
particle of pulp, leaving behind only
the skins and seeds. Add the spices,
salt and sugar to the juice and boil
for about twenty minutes or until
very thick and jellylike. This is good
with cold meats.

Wash Dishes and Shine Them

VIZ ASKING dishes so they shine re-
w qulres intelligence as well as
care and 1t is astonishing how
much better a table looks if the china
and glassware are properly cleansed.
The Veriest tyro knows that water
must be hot to remove grease from
china and glass, but only experienced
housekeepers are aware of the fact
that cold water must be used first
when utensils have contained food that
hardens by the application of heat.
For example, to clean dishes that have
held either eggs or milk a preliminary
cool bath is required for their re-
moval, or cleaning becomes difficult.
A heavy sirup will cling more to
jar or glass if the receptacle is not
first soaked in cold water, and the
same is true of anything in which
granulated sugar adheres.
A housekeeper who has beautiful
silver and glass and maid who takes
pride in keeping 1t shining were puz-
zled recently because every article
came to the table streaked. Inquiry
brought the information that the
method of washing had not been
changed, and that the streaks came in

for unspotted surfaces. Dish cloths
