Household Science.

AT a recent meeting of the De-
partment of Household Science of the
Illinois Farmers Institute, Miss Ruth
Connibear, in the course of a talk
on the problem of living economically
and yet buying nutritive foods, said:l
THE State University School for
Housekeepers has broadened my hor-
lion in domestic work; it has taught
me to make the household duties a
pleasure when before thought them
drudgery. When I go into a house
or store I cannot help but observe
and take an interest in the things
that were taught to us at the short
course. There Is steadily growing
sentiment in favor of furnishing to
every girl, high or low, rich or poor,
somewhere in her regular education,
systematic instruction and drill in
housekeeping, and home making, in
food value and domestic economies"
Mrs. Jennie c. Barlaw in her re-
port said:
1.-THE housekeeper of to-day must
read more, think more, study more
and know more in order to meet the
demands. There is no business in
which brain work is needed more to
be able to apply principles underly-
ing right living. Let me urge more
work to interest and instruct the
girls. Teach them how to cook, not
blanc mango and fruit cake, but the
essential foods and to do it properly.
Teach them how to make good bread
and cook meats and vegetables prop
erly rather than angel food or float
ing island. Teach them, not point
lace and embroidered pillows, but to
make aprons. dresses, children's
clothes, to cut economically and fit
carefully. Teach them how to care
for the home, to have it sanitary, and
to care for their bodies in health ana
sickness. Teach them system ana
economy, how to keep accounts ana
spend money wisely. Then better
homes will be assured, better health
and happiness"

Treat Husbands With Politeness.

If woman spending the evening
with friends would treat her husband
with the same politeness and consid-
Grafton she gives to other men, host
esses would less often dread asking
husband and wife to the same func-
ton. For many women know there
are married men and women who are
agreeable If alone, but who, when ac-
companied by wife or husband. as the
case may be, are almost offensive In
their behavior. And the trouble Of
ten is that the wife does not make
the same exertion or show the same
consideration for her husband when
they are with others that she natural
ly gives to other men.
Few persons enjoy playing bridge
at the same table with husband and
wife because often one or both criti-
else the play of the other. The same
woman, If sitting at another table,
would tell her partner or opponent
what she thought of his game. II
she ventured any comment it would
be tactful and polite. But she seems
to feel privileged to descend with
verbal onslaught on her husband with
total disregard of others present. No
one fancies that a wife is always go
ing to talk to her husband with the
same formality she would use with
other men, but all agree, if they stop
to think, that to adopt the informal
ity of home when in company is not
always pleasant to others.
1t may not be sweetness of nature
that restraints woman from comment
ing or retorting to her husband when
she is annoyed; 1t may be wholly con-
sideration for others. The fact that
she does keep still then may be en-
tirely a matter of good breeding, for
consideration is that sometimes,
should she possess an opinion that is
decidedly contrary to her husbands,
she shall hold it and tell him later,
but she must make the communica-
ton when no one else is present.
Nothing is more unpleasant than to
be obliged to hear a matrimonial crit
icism or alteration. Listeners are
not interested, and any atmosphere
of entertainment is in this way entire
ly destroyed.
If woman is playing bridge at
the same table with her husband she
must treat him, for the time, as she
would any acquaintance. If she does
not like his manner of playing she is
not at liberty to tell him then, be-
cause she will make the other two
persons uncomfortable. If she wishes
to discuss the hand he has just played
her own manner must have the same
politeness that 1t would with her host
and II her husband does not agree
with her she must drop the matter
then, taking 1t up later wher at home
II she thinks 1t best.

right to mako other guests uncom

If the plan has been carefully thought
out, and as nine out of ten of the best
known women of society care to wear
a gown only a limited number of
times, and then to appear in some
thing quite different for an equally
short period, it is not surprising that
they have hit upon this plan of max
ing their dress money go further.
Many of them have dummy figures,
exact copies OF their own, so that they
do not need to lose any time In being
fitted, and by giving only little
thought to the matter can have a
chic addition to their wardrobes
whenever they want it. When order
ing their best frocks these women
have a watchful eye for new effects
in lines and color combinations, SO
that when their bargains" are being
made they can suggest some little
finish that will give that touch of diff
ference that distinguishes the ordered
gown from the one known as home
made. New York Tribune.

Indebtedness Paid in Kind.

One of the fundamental rules of
society is that If an invitation to an
entertainment is accepted. an invita-
ton to a similar function must be
sent to hostess and host. A woman
may not accept the courtesies of 9TH
ers If she is not prepared to do for
them as much as they have done for
her, and that she may make no error
list of social Indebtedness becomes
imperative where an acquaintance is
large.
When a woman has been invited
to any special function the fact and
date should be written beside the
no difficulty in keeping the obliga-
ton clear.
A woman, married or single, who
invites another to a dinner must be
given a similar invitation in return.
Of course, if she is married. her hus-
band is invited, too, though the host
ess may be a single woman. But
dinner requires a dinner, and single
woman cannot expect to be invited to
them If she asks her women friends
only to luncheons, or what might be
called day" affairs.
A married woman whose husband
does not know or does not care to
have the acquaintance of the husband
of another woman may invite said
woman to a luncheon, thus keeping
the friendship between the two wo-
men. while the husbands may. never
meet. And a married woman need
not ask to dinner another who has
entertained her only at luncheon.
A bridge" dinner, so called be-
cause bridge is played after dinner,
may be taken as an equivalent to

Perfumed Hats.

A new little luxury has been in
vented for the benefit and delight of
women. This is the trimming of the
hat with perfumed flowers. Each ar
tificial flower is scented with its own
particular perfume, violets smelling
like fresh violets and lilies like real
lilies. The trick is done by stitching
tiny sachets containing the desired
extract in the crown or in among the
leaves of the hat, and to come into
roomful of women wearing these
scented hats is like stepping into a
conservatory. Some women are 60
ing to the length of seeming their
hats even when there are no flowers
in the trimming.

dinner theatre party, the point being
that the entertainment includes more
than dinner. A bridge luncheon Is
more than luncheon alone, and a
luncheon and matinee might be taken
as similar Courtesy. The point lies
in returning as much hospitality as
one receives.
1t is not incumbent upon woman
to invite to meal of any sort one
who has not extended the same
thought, but If the latter has been
asked to bridge, or if in any pro-
nounced way desire for her &C.
quaintance has been shown, she may
send an invitation for luncheon or
dinner, always providing that the one
giving the first invitation to a meal
is not the latest arrival in a place.
It is always the privilege Of the older
resident to give the first invitation
to a meal, unless the other woman
has also lived so long in the town
that she is no longer stranger.
Invitations to tea require moth
ing more than similar card, for they
are only notices of being at home to
ones friends on a certain day, and
nothing further may come from them
unless one woman or the other really
wishes to pursue the Acquaintance

Cleaning Lace.

Pure alcohol can be used with won-
derful success as a means of cleaning
black Spanish or chantilly lace. The
alcohol should be poured into a clean
basin and whipped with the hand UNI
til it is frothy, when the lace should
be dipped into it and we'll worked
about with the fingers until the dirt
is removed. After gently squeezing
out the spirit the lace should be laid
on a folded cloth. the patterned edge
pulled out, each scollop or picot
being fastened down with a pin.
When perfectly dry the lace should
be unpinned and pressed gently be-
tween the palms of the hands until
smooth in lieu of ironing it. as this
would flatten the pattern and spoil
the color.-Indianapolis News.

The splendor OF black velvet Is

The new fat-front couture means

Small hats are predicted, but none

Two shades of green which bid fair

Black net collars, studded with nail
heads or embroidered with jet bugles,
are being worn with black waists.
Loose weaves and heavy threads

Colored correspondence stationery
is once more in vogue. The delicate
grays, dove and pearl shades are ex-
Quisite.
Shoes are bit less pointed, and
the new vamps are very short, the
effect being to make the foot look
rather shorter.
Because most of the lingerie gowns
will be collarless and with short
sleeves, comfort will be characteristic

Narrow bands of fur are supplant-
Ing velvet and ribbons for the Golf

vorite for brunettes, while sable is in
favor for blondes.
However elaborate a scarf may be
in itself or in its trimmings. the edge
is usually finished with a selvage all

quarter to two inches in width.
On many of the handsomest dinner
and evening gowns the decolletage is
modified to something not fa- from

neck being now considered by some
authorities as outside the mode.

Raglan sleeves Again.

1t is said that the raglan shoulder
line and a modified kimono sleeve will
return to favor and will be seen upon
many of the new models. 1t is true
that they were satisfactory and more
becoming than the tight sleeves set
in small armholes, which are still in
vogue. The same idea is noticeable
in many of the new and beautiful ball
gowns, where broad bandsof embroid-
CRY extend over the shoulder line.
