The Spare Room Pitcher.

Every housekeeper knows how i'm
possible it is to replace pieces Of
handsome washstand china when one
piece is broken-and usually it is the
most important piece of all, the
the pitcher, which meets with the ac-
cident. A solution of the problem is
the purchasing, not of fancy-colored
toilet set, but of bowl and pitcher of
clear glassware. The smaller pieces
may be easily provided in glass, and
the whole set looks daintily white
and clean on the washstand. These
crystal bowl and pitcher sets are not
at all expensive, a very gracefully
shaped set costing but 50 or S9.-

Copying the English Garden.


There is one good result of all this
Invasion of English society by Ameri-
can women. One of the finest things
in the land of Shakespeare and the
suffragette is the characteristic Eng
lish garden, and the American women
who have wandered across the ATTAIN
tic in search of social excitement have
adopted the English garden as their
own. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has set
her mind upon typical garden for
her Newport home, and Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney and Mrs. John R.
Drexel are among others who have
the same plan in view. The change
will be welcome, especially as it will
drive out the hard Italian gardens
with their out-of-place statuary, and
the Japanese gardens with their fool
fish stone decorations. 1t is not
strange that the garden as it grows
in England has caught the fancy of
American women, for it is just what
garden means, with its bursting
glory everywhere, its trim box hedges,
its rose ramblers, its sweet peas and
its honeysuckle, its flower beds, its
shrubs and its narrow white graveled
walks. May Van Allen and her father,
James J. Van Allen, together laid out
an English garden in Newport half a
dozen years ago, but Miss Van Allen
tried in vain then to induce other
young women to follow her example.

Turkish Chair Cover.

In the perfectly appointed modern
bathroom all that is not nickel plated
is white enamelled, and while adj of
the sanitary requirements are thus
met, considerable of the old-fashioned
comfort is left out. A resourceful
mother of little children, who OBJ
jected to this cold comfort after the
bath, has made pair of slip covers
for the white-enamelled chair.
They are of absorbent Turkish
toweling in white, perfectly wash
able, and the maker AYERS that each

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

It is a serious question sometimes
to know just what to eat when per-
sons stomach is out OF order, and
most foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at
any time with the certainty that 1t
will digest. Actual experience of peo-
pie Is valuable to any one interested
in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: II
had suffered with Indigestion for
about four years, ever since at attack
of typhoid fever, and at times could
eat nothing but the very lightest food
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach would wish I never had to
eat anything.
"I was urged to try Grape-Nuts.
and since using it I do not have to
starve myself any more, but I can eat
1t at any time and feel nourished and
satisfied; dyspepsia is thing of the
past, and am now strong and well.
my husband also had an exper-
ience with Grape-Nuts. He was very
weak and sickly in the spring. Could
not attend to his work. He was put
under the doctors care, but medicine
did not seem to do him any good un-
til he began to leave off ordinary food
and use Grape-Nuts. 1t was positive
ly surprising to see the change in
him. He grew better right off, and
naturally he has none but words of
praise for Grape-Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on 1t.
I am satisfied that it is because of the
great nourishing elements in Grape
Nuts"
There's Reason"

matter to daily refill the brain and
nerve centres.
1t is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. Thereare
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food, and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and be
healthy and get along without medi-
cine and expense.

Use For Old Sheets,

"A very good use to put old sheets
to is the following: Tear them in half
and tack up behind the best gown in
your closet, against the wall. The
other half sew small brass curtain
rings to and hang over the gowns.
In this way they are protected in the
front and back from dust, and they
will also keep from fading by being
exposed to the light if the colors are
delicate shades. Old sheets are very
good when packing to cover the diff
ferent trays of the trunk, and so pro-
tect clothes from dust which often
times will slip into trunks.-Newark

So lonu, Schooner!

Statistics compiled by the commits
sioners of navigation disclose the rap
idity with which the sailing carriers
on the Atlantic coast are disappear
ing. The figures show that during the
year ending June 80, there have been
lost of this once great fleet one ship,
one bark, two barkentines, one brigan-
tine and 3S schooners. There have
been sold to the Pacific coast two
ships, while four brigantines have
been cut down to become schooners.
To replace these losses, there have
been built during the same period but
eight schooners. No steamers, ships,
barks, barkentines, brigs or brigan.
tines were built or denationalized for
the Atlantic coast trade during the
year.-PhiladeGphia North American.

Massaging Guns.

If you cannot go to professional
masseuse, it is we'll to own one of the
massaging cups that can be bought
for small sum and do much to stir
up a free circulation and to give ex-
ercise to muscles.
These are small glass cups with a
rubber top. The latter is worked
gently, and the suction is quickly
felt on the flesh.
These cups can be profitably used
after the face has beeen well washed
and grease rubbed in. Be careful to
work 1t in an upward and outward
motion, as otherwise wrinkles will re-
sult.-New York Times.

Indeed, argument is hopeless most
of the time with the sensitive girl.
If you number such a one among
your friends or in your family, try to
change her way of looking at the
world, instead of arguing with her
that her grievances are groundless.
Try to get her to see that the world
is too big and people too busy to be
occupied in thinking up ways to hurt
her feelings, and that in the main
people are too kind to do such things
anyway. The idea that people are
continually shooting arrows her way
comes frequently from an overdevel-
oped ego. She believes other people
are thinking as much about herself
as she is, and their words and actions
she misconstrues as directed to her.
self, when the probability is they
never had her in mind at all nor
thought of such construction being
put upon their conduct.
This is particularly true in business.
Business people are entirely too
rushed to mince words or to consider
how people may take what they say.
The sensitive girl is extremely fool
ish to think every unkind word, every
slur about poorly done work or slow
ness is directed at her. Rest assured
If her work doesn't suit, she will hear
directly from her employer. He won't
beat around the bush about it. And
she needn't torture herself with the
thought that he is whipping her over
somebody else's shoulders.
Common sense and philosophical
spirit are good cures for sensitive
ness. Bat these are the very qualifi-
cations the sensitive girl is apt to
lack. The best thing to help her is to
mix with the world and with people,
to get a. big, broad view of life where
in she will see how extremely small
she and her affairs are. This will
gradually give her saner and more
rational viewpoint and her extreme
sensitiveness will disappear. She will
become much happier, much more
companionable. The sensitive girl
should endeavor to get this view of
life, for she is making herself
wretched over things which in the
main do not exist, for most of the
sights and wounds to her feelings
are imaginary, not real.. And 1t is a
pity to spoil life with imaginary ills.

College Bows Growing.

Measurements by scientists bring
out the interesting fact that the
American college athlete Of today is
much larger than his father was and
is constantly growing. The average
height of the Yale athlete today is an
inch and half more than it was five
years ago. he is 22 pounds heavier,
with three inches more chest develop
ment and AZ cubic inches more lung
capacity; the average height of the
Yale athlete is now 5 feet 9.9 inches
and their weight exactly 17O.5 pounds.
At an examination of Harvard ath-
letes Professor Sargent found that
they were an inch taller and from
four to five pounds heavier than were
the students of 80 years ago.-New

learned the right way 1t soon becomes
matter of habit.
When a girl walks heavily she is
always walking incorrectly and is
never graceful. Girls, are not alto
gether to blame for this, as they are
told, from childhood to throw their
shoulders back" which has tend
ency to put the weight in the heels,
a strain on the back and to throw the
head forward. Instead the young
should be told to throw the chest for
ward and the head and shoulders will
take their right position.
Relaxation is the second thing nec-
essary for grace, as well as for the
nerves. But relaxation does not
mean merely collapsing in lacka-
daisical sort of way and being "wil-
lowy." It means having the power
to control the muscles-letting those
rest which are not needed for the
immediate work. Motion, of course,
is at the joints, and the muscles mov-
ing them may be made to act rythm-
ically by little practice. The body
being constructed for movement re-
spends quickly to the pendulum-like
swing of the leg from the hip and the
harmonious yet very slight swing of
the arm. A woman's arms are stiff
because her shoulders are usually
tense. When the chest is active the
shoulders will drop in place, and the
arms should hang at the sides.

To Walk Gracefully.

The modern girl is at her worst
when she walks. Her feet are
dressed in low shoes with high heels
and her stride is out of all proportion
to her height. Her right arm is
swung vigorously back and forth,
while the left one clutches a hand
bag and holds it at the waist line
with elbow aggressive. Her chest is
depressed and her head, with its mar
velous adornment, is thrust forward.
The present fashion in shoes is
partly responsible for the awkward
ness of our girls, declares a writer In
Vogue. Shoes with high heels tip
the foot down, preventing the beauti-
full spring of the instep arch. If such
shoes could be reserved for the house
and girls wear well shaped walking
boots out Of doors they would not
only be more graceful but would find
more pleasure in walking-which as
an exercise has much to commend It.
Three suggestions will help any one
who wishes to walk gracefully and
with the alertness which is character
istic Of youth; the forward foot
should point practically straight (the
strongest position in supporting
weight); the back foot should push
the body forward; the chest should
be high and forward. AS long as we
live we must hold ourselves up by
muscular effort, and when we have

gray. They should avoid anything
with tones of blue, brown, red and
green. They should cling to white
for every hour that it is possible to
wear it.
Stiff linens are not for them, nor
heavy cotton, but soft muslin in all
its forms. Embroidery of every kind
can be worn as we'll as lace, but age
must never tamper with inferior
quality of either.
If her neck has the fullness that
age often gives she can we'll adapt
the present-day collars of soft fine
lingerie that roll back from the neck
band and are fastened with brooch
at a slight point in the front.
The old-fashioned way of cutting
a blouse to V in front and edging
it with ruching is still one of the gen.
eral fashions. The empire gowns
with long full skirts make the best
models for clothes. Elbow sleeves
are always pretty when a woman has
q nice arm.
AS for headgear, that must remain
a woman's own choice. The old
fashioned bonnet is quite out of style,
but in its place there is small hat
of soft Neapolitan straw or horsehair
trimmed with flowers.
A woman may add soft strings of
satin to tie under the chin, but as a
rule this is not done.-New Haven

A "Pilot Boat Fry"

The pilots have every facility for
securing the freshest of salt water
fish, and one of them says the only
way to fry fish is to have pork fat
enough to submerge the fish, and fry
the pieces as you would doughnuts.
They must not be allowed to stick to
the frying pan and be broken up. In
other words, the slices are to be
boiled in very hot pork fat until a
nice brown.
