Chicken Biscuit.-There is more
taste in yearling hen than in a
chicken. but many people prefer the
latter. In any case. only fat hen or
chicken should be used, as a thin
chicken is almost tasteless. II rich

chicken should be cleaned, unjointed,
and placed over the fire with water
to cover. II should be SKINNED. Add
more water from time to time. cook

CARE IN SELECTING VEIL
Strain on Eyes May Be Avoided by
the Application Of Little Com
mon Sense.

II oculists are to be credited, II is
q wonder every modern woman is not
blind. Despite warning, she will wear
the deadly veil. Nor 1t is really sur,

better dressed when yelled.
It being well-n!gh impossible to con.
vert women to the evils OF the veil, the
next thing to do is to plead with
them to get those that are least trying
to the eye.
There are wells so closely dotted
and unevenly or thickly meshed that

focus, but the effort to get a normal
vision produces all sorts Of ugly ia

"BossY" GIRL NOT POPULAR
DomineerIng Spirit Has No Tendency

Possessor.

Many girls are done out OF a good

This desire to manage other peo-
pies AFFAIRS Is a common cause of
blackballs In girls clxbs. though the
victim rarely recognizes that reason
and attributes her defeat to personal
spite. Jack of money or pull" rather

Most OF us have opinions of our own.
and. even though they are not so
good as those OF our friends. we pre-

have each thought. action or intention

For the sake OF peace most of US

rather than fight It out.

Don't use a feather buster except

dust from one place to another.

bowl of clean cold water; wiring a

Some Bee hablta.

The social bees live in communities
like ants, and consist of males, fe-
males and neuters. The greater part
of the life of the queen or mother
bee is spent in laying eggs for the in
crease Of the population of the hive,
and not infrequently she lays 800 eggs
per day. During the latter spring
months practical apiarists consider
that as many as 1000, or even 1000,
are deposited daily.
The queen bee moves about in the
hive attended by sort of retinue OF
from ten to fifteen workers, by whom
she is frequently supplied with hon.
ey, and she is the object of particular
regard as indispensable to the COM
munity. She moves about deposlting
her eggs in the cells prepared by the
workers. and the nurse bees are ready
to take charge of each egg from the
moment 1t is deposited. Cells are
made ready for workers, drones and
queen bees. varying in size, and with
unerring instinct she places each egg
in the kind of cell appropriate to it

Two Philadelphia women of Ger
man descent have built up in less
than ten years an extensive whole
sale business as the result OF an origi-
nal investment in stocks that took a
capital Of exactly S1.25.
The stocks are not of the kind that
are listed on exchanges or dealt in
on the curb, but of the kind that wom-
en- wear about their necks One of the
women was somewhat listlessly maxi

friend who sat by.

had no difficulty in selling them.
That was the beginning of busi.
ness that has since occupied the whole
time of both partners. For a while
one of them who drew pretty well was
the designer of the firm. AS business
grew it was more economical to en-
ploy a well paid designer who could
give his whole time to that part of
the work.
By this time the partners had be-
gun to employ girls to do the actual
making of the stocks. At first the
work was done by few girls in Phila-

increased and it became good business
to establish branch houses, for by this
time the trade of the partners was
wholesale instead of retail Houses
were established in Baltimore, New
York, Chicago, st. Louis, and the busi-
ness went on growing.
Ply this time the two partners gave
themselves wholly to the management
of the business and the purchase of
materials. They now go twice year
to Europe to study modes and buy
materials. they have several well paid
designers and the persistence Of the
fashion of wearing stocks has kept
the business constantly active and
profitable.
Success also has given the partners
confidence and they feel that they
are not at the mercy of the capricious
Partisan milliners who set the modes
of the world. If women quit wearing
stocks the partners will turn and take
up something else.
Meanwhile the partners have lad
busy and happy life, with an almost
constantly increasing income and
broadening horizon. They have built
for themselves a comfortable home in
the upper part of Philadelphia and
they see almost every year a good
deal of the European world. They

ness career ten years ago than a hun.
