an opportunity TO get right into the

Woman has been handicapped
through the ages by being brought up
to think that there is not much worth
while in life outside of marriage, writes
Orison SWEET Marden in Success Maya

How many precious years ami OPP
portunities for growth. for life en-
largemein she has missed while wait
ing for marriage
Evep Today, in this splendid age. we
see young women everywhere with
splendid possibilities who seem to be
just waiting. waiting. waiting for what
they have been brought up to believe
is the supreme event of their lives.
Many of them might broaden their edu-
cation and improve themselves wonder
right man TO come along. Did they
but know it. they are not half as likely
to find the right man while waiting
inactively as when they are vigorously
preparing themselves for a large and
useful life.
1t is most unfortunate that any girl
should be brought up to-day with the
antiquated idea that marriage is every
thing, and that other things do not
count much.
The traditions of the past, however.
are rapidly falling away from the
emancipated woman of the twentieth
century In this new era tens of thous-
ands of girls have found glorious open
ings in all departments of life. Vast
fields Of usefulness are awaiting wom-
an on every side. She is realizing that
achievement is seXless; that she can
be just as independent as man, and
that there are just as many oppor-
tunities and fields Of usefulness for
her.
Who can estimate what this new era
means to the plain girl, the girl with
splendid mental powers; but who may
be physically unattractive. or who may
prefer a single life?

Women who do not thoroughly I'M
derstand the sewing machine often
blame the machine when the fault OF
stiff running can be traced to not keep
ing the machine clean. Most persons
think that liberal doses of oil are
all thar is necessary. Too much oiling
is injurious, and oil where there has
not been careful busting is worse than
none at all. 1t is not enough TO give
a surface busting; the cracks and
erevices must be kept clean. This can
not be done with a cloth. Instead use
a coarse silk thread. TO draw back and
forth through cracks 10 get out fine
dirt that can not otherwise be removed
Care should also be taken that pins and
needles do not slip into the shuttle part
of the machine, as often they clog it
and the cause can not be discovered for
some time. 1t is a mistake to use a
cheap oil, as it cakes and makes the
parts sticky Never let the machine
stand uncovered when not in use: and
guard carefully from dampness. Rub
bling the running strap occasionally
VIII little vaseline or oil viii make
the leather wear longer.

500 of the Army's convicts Rescued
at Fort Leavenworth.

Inc military prison at Fort LeaNen-
worth. Kan, was partially destroyed
by fire at midnight Wednesday night.
The SEQ prisoners all were taken from
the main building rs soon as the fire
reached il and none was injured.
The convicts were confined in a
Steckade under the guard of United
States troops. None of them SO far
as is known, succeeded in gaining his
liberty during the transfer to the
stockade. At = o'clock some of the cell
houses had cooled sufficiently to allow
huff of the prisoners 10 return. The
others will be taken to the Federal
prison, two miles away. at daylight
Two af the Federal soldiers who were
lighting the fire were injured. The
property loss on the building is esti-
mated at 100000.
The fire was first discovered at 10
o'clock in the tailor shop. 1t soon
spread to the shoe shop and the black
smith establishment Lack OF water
pressure prevented all hope of saving
even the main building, ana IL was de-
,ided TO move the inmates. Long before
his. however. the conyicts had seen the
DANES and. fearing they would be
burned TO death they battered on the
bars of their cells and screamed in
terror.
As soon as Sc 1ral companies of sol
1iers. including cavalrymen. had gotten
under arms, strong Gordon was
thrown about the prison and the deliv-
cry of the prisoners began. The sick
were removed first placed in ambu-
lances and taken TO the Fort Leaven-
worth hospital under guard of cavalry.
The records We're renewed from the
administration building. If everything
had not been done in perfect order lives
doubtless would have been lost. As it
was, strict military discipline prevailed.

Pertaining the Hair.

There is difference of opinion as
TO perfumed hair; some women, nice
ones. too. think faint, elusive, in
dividual fragrance to the hair correct,
while other women are strong in their
condemnation of scented tresses.
If you are not one of the women
who think perfumed hair vulgar. you
may like TO know how to impart an
odor to it instead of paying TO have it
done by the hairdresser.
The best time is Immediately after
the hair is shampooed, while it is still
slightly damp. Pour five or six drops
of oil of lavender, oil of jasmine or
oil of violet in the palm of your hand
and rub it over the bristles Of clean,
rather stiff hair brush.
Brush the hair thoroughly for five or
ten minutes, and you will carry around
for a week a faint, delicate fragrance.

Laundry work.

Table line should be starched While
still wet. Prepare about four quarts
of blue water, and to this stir in tea
cupful of good, hot starch. Dip the
table linen in the starch, wiring, and
hang out TO dry. All bed and table
linen should be taken down while still
damp, folded tightly and evenly, man
gled and ironed Starch should not be
used without the dilution of blue wa
ter for table linen, as otherwise ii
makes servietts much too stiff for com
fort In using, and if a tablecloth is too
much starched it is very difficult to
iron it properly, and it does not lie
fat upon the table. Linen stiffened
with hot starch must be sprinkled with
warm water, not cold. should it get too
dry before ironing. Nothing sets off
the daintiness of a dinner table better
than beautifully got up damask.

Cracks I'm Floors.


There are three methods Of filling
cracks in floors First. dissolve one
pound of glue in two gallons of water
Stir into this enough fine sawdust TO
make a thick paste and fill the cracks
with it. The paste may be colored to
match the wood. Second, fill the cracks
with putty. One can make the putty by
mixing whiting and linseed oil together
and kneeding it until the paste is
smooth. The putty may also be colored
to match the wood. Third, soak finely
shredded paper in water and boil 1t
until 1t is soft pulp. and to every two
gallons add one pound of glue. The
cracks must be filed solid and even
with the boards.

A woman,s Question.

Before | trust my fate 10 thee,
Or place my hand in thine;
Before you get your overcoat
Or help me on with mine:
Before l peril all for thee,
Question thy soul tonight for me.
Before we stir a single STEP
Stand back and let me know.
Does my black skirt touch on the sides
And does the white skirt show?
Speak now lest at some future day
My wbole life wither and decay.
Look deeper still within thy soul,
And let me learn my fate;
Am all buttoned down the back
And is my hat on straight?
Let no false pity spare the blow
But in true mercy tell me so.
Gaze on my face and answer true,
Before we start TO go,
Canst thou detect the rosaIine
And does the talcum show?
If so at any pain or cost.
Oh, tell me now ere all is lost!
Nay. answer nott thou could'st not tell,
The words would come TOO late;
Get on thy hat and hurry up,
We haven't time 10 wait
Whatever in my heart may fall,
Remember, must risk it all.

Good Headache Remedy.

One of the very best remedies for a
sick or nervous headache was suggested
to me recently by a Finnish servant
girl. She took raw potatoes without
either washing or pairing and cut them
into thick slices. These were laid close
together on the forehead and temples
ana kept in place by covering with a
large handkerchief folded cornerwise
and tied in the back.
In short time the pain disappears.
Az the pieces of potato get hot replace
with cold fresh ones. They give nil
dental dampness. and there is not the
burning sensation ice often causes. The
potato is distinctly soothing.
