With calm and tranquil

Amid the silent air.

it becomes adapted to wool fabrics of
a simple sort. 1t can be made with
short or long or with double sleeves.

without the guimpe on a warm day,

The dress consists of waist and

Commercial Instinct.

at is the fashion nowadays to
sneer at the commercial instinct, and
to despise it as something common
and vulgar; br. in reality it is moth
ing of the sort. The essence of vul-
garity is the concealment of vulgarity.
The common man who knows that he
is common ceases to be common by
this knowledge; by realizing that he
is not a gentleman he almost becomes
one. The really vulgar people are the
people who are forever pretending
that they are not vulgar; the truly
ill-bred are those who are constantly
parading their gentility. There is
nothing that is vulgar in itself; it
only becomes vulgar when It pretends
to be something else. Therefore the
commercial instinct is never a COM
mon instinct, except when it sets it.

all. ELLEN Thornycroft Fowler, in

The Kitchenette Girl.

'Fat servant girls are getting to be
a drug on the market" said the man
behind the desk in the employment
agency. "All things being otherwise
equal, a small, slim girls stands a
much better chance of getting place
than big, fat one. Of course, there's
reason for this, and logical one,
although you would probably never
guess it. It's the kitchenette. Try
to get fat girl into one of the mod
ern kitchenettes, and you'll find it's
like packing shad into a sardine
can. 1t is simply out of the question.
In the average housekeeping apart
ment the kitchen is small enough,
but the kitchenette is about the limit
in the economy of space. l am advis-

write her ''life''-surely the shortest
autobiography on record. Lady Tree
IS shortly to appear on the variety

most distinguished actresses; for, be-
side her histrionic gifts, Lady Tree
from an early age developed a taste
for classics and mathematics. Her

she was most learned, and many years
ago she took part in Greek play
before an audience which included

Hard Roads and Horses,

Tip has seen many good horse go
wrong, and no veterinarian was able
to cure or help. Horse would seem
all right as long as he was out in the
pasture loafing, but once he was har-
messed up or saddled and taken out
on hard streets he was all "stove up"
Now. a horse stands on his toes like
ballet dancer, for horses heels
never touch the ground. so it is
strange that, shod with iron shoes.
they stand stony streets. Many
horses cannot trot hard roads without
rubber shoes, and many "stove-up"
horse is about as good as ever when
so shod, for these shoes seem to make
a hard street as pleasant to walk up
no as grass plot or a Turkey carpet.

Vorce. It's worse getting a husband
under false pretenses.
Her face flushed scarlet as she
made the suggestion. She did not

kindly brown eyes must be moist and

brown and the thin cheeks were un-

deemed an old maid at thirty-five.
His glance travelled from the bowed
head to the well-set table and the
tidy room, and then roughly he
pushed back his chair and went
around the table.

side her and drew her within the

No Shame.

In Turkey there is no shame at
tached to slavery. Can the same be
said of our domestic service? Should
a servant marry rich man here and
be raised into the ornamental class
would she not find it hard to live
down her former state? In Turkey
the mother of Sultan Abdul was a
slave, as is the wife of the Khedive
of Egypt, and no disgrace attaches
to the fact. 1t is this which primarily
differentiates Turkish slavery from
what we are accustomed to associate
with the word-this and the fact that
the slaves do not come from an in
ferior and servile race, but from
among themselves. There is no caste
in Turkey. All persons below the
Sultan are equal before Allah. Every
man and woman has chance to rise,
according to his personality-his in
telligence, charm or beauty.-Metro-

Monograms For Street Gloves.

A new fad has crept in with the
girls who can be sensible, that is to
a certain degree, where fashions are
concerned. These young women, who
don't believe that jeweled bracelets
will keep their wearers warm or their
hands lovely ivory white, unred-
dened by the cold, have ceased to re-
main elbow-sleeved girls any longer,
and are making up by wearing mono
grams on their heavy street gloves.
The letters are of silver, and, having
a substantial little pin attached, can
be transferred to different gloves.

Plan For Baby Exchange.

More than passing consideration is
being given a recent suggestion look
ing to the establishment of regular
"baby exchange" that would supply
babies to and receive them from cli-
ents in accordance with their several
needs. At present the founding hos
pitfalls and kindred institutions are the
principal resort of those who wish to
adopt children, and for those who
have strong views on heredity these
poor waits are always under a certain
suspicion; but wealthy New York
woman who advertised privately the
other day offering child all COM
forts and real home was surprised
at the number of replies she got from
honest and hard working fathers and
mothers who felt they had too many
children to do full justice to all in

than ever this season owing to the
extraordinary popularity of jet and
the new favor extended to Chantilly.
The run on black Chantilly has been
so great that the French makers are
having positively to refuse to take
any more orders for the present for
this beautiful lace.
Many handsome evening frocks are
being made of rich black velvet with
dull silver embroideries. The trans
parent black jet studded net evening
frock also has its place in the spring
fashions, with trimmings and reliev-
ing notes of color on the corsage and
the waist belt. Often the jet appears
only in fine embroideries or paillettes
on tunic or net, which falls over
soft clinging robe of mousseline de
sole or satin charmeuse.-Philadel-

Vassar Cakes.

These little bites, which, Of course,
are named after the great school, are
cornmeal hoecakes, served hot and
eaten with strained honey, brown
sugar or New Orleans molasses. But
the hoe has nothing to do with them.
A batter is made of cornmeal and cold
water, seasoned only with salt. The
batter must be so thin that it literally
pours from tablespoon, one Of which
is put at a time on hot iron griddle
for the cake. The usual griddle holds
three or four cakes, and as soon as
these cook they are thinly coated
with butter and served in hot plates.
The sugar, honey or molasses is put
on at the table.-Detroit News.

CARSON CITY'S HIRED GIRL.
She is Apt to Be Squaw and at First
to Startle the Eastern Woman.

She is Apt to Be Squaw and at First
to Startle the Eastern Woman.
Carson City, the capital of Nevada,
is probably the only city in the coun-
try where the hired girl is a squaw.
To the Carson City housewife every
Indian man is Jim and every Indian
woman is Sally. Neither Jim nor Sal
ly can ever be depended on to work
regularly, but as other help is scarce
and high priced the occasional SER
vices which they deign to render are
| always welcome.
When Sally wants to work she al
ways opens the kitchen door without
the formality of a knock and says,
"Mahaylie (woman), you want work
done?" Or simply, ''Me heap hoga-
d." which means that she is hungry
and wants to work for meal.
An Eastern woman is apt to be
frightened the first time this happens
or the first time she looks up and sees
bucks swarthy face pressed against
the outside of the window, but she
soon learns that Jim and Sally are
quite tame.
Sometimes Sally comes shivering to
the door in winter with baby under
her blanket. She is heap cold" and
wants to toast herself and the queer
little morsel Of humanity on her back
at the kitchen fire. Sometimes Sally
will bring an armful of baskets to sell
at the door and then the Eastern wo-
man rejoices exceedingly, for she
knows that she can pick up for few
cents baskets that she would have
to pay dollars for in the stores.
The housewife likes to get Piute
Sally to work for her if possible, for
she is cleaner, more industrious and
more adaptable than the Shoshone or
| Washoe Sallies. The remnants of
| these three tribes have their homes
up in the high hills above Carson,
where no one else wants the land.
| They come down to the city every
day, but they never stay there over
night.
The Eastern woman in Carson nev-
er fails to looks from her window at
the sunset and watch them making
their way along the trail, Indian file.
In and out winds the long line, across
the face of the darkening mountain,
always ascending, the last sunbeams
flashing on their red blankets. Each
Jim is invariably with his own Sally,
the squaw always carrying the pa
poose, but the father sometimes
shouldering tired toddler. Up winds
the long file to the brush tepees at
timberline, where each tribe in its
own place, separate from the other
two, cooks its scanty food at its little
camp fire and goes to sleep among
the moaning pines.-New York Sun.
