How Woman Was Made.

According to the Hindoo legend, this is
the proper origin OF women:-Twashtri,
the God Vulcan Of the Hindoo mythology,
created the world, but on his commencing
to create woman he discovered that for
man he had exhausted all his creative
materials, and that not one solid element
had been left. This, of course, greatly
perplexed Twashtri, and caused him to
fall into a profound meditation. When
ne arose from It he proceeded as follows:
He took
The roundness of the moon.
The undulating curves of the serpent.
The graceful twist of the creeping plant.
The light shivering of the grass blade
and the slenderness OF the willow.
The velvety softness OF the flowers.
The lightness OF the feather.
. The gentle gaze OF the doe.
The frolicsomeness Of the dancing sum
beam.
The tears Of the cloud.
The Inconsistency Of the wind.
The timidlty OF the hare.
The vanity of the peacock.
The hardness of the diamon
The cruelty of the tiger,
The heat OF the fire.
The chill of the snow.
The cracking Of the parrot.
The cooling of the turtle dove.
All these he mixed together and formed
a woman.
And he presented her to man.-HomS
Notes.

QUALITY AT THE CAPITAL
Women Suffer by Comparison with
Those of other Cities,
Says Critic.

Washington society is in the main COM
posed Of people of slender means, with
here and there a very rich man or woman
from no one knows where, whose obscurlty
of origin is temporarily lost sight of In
the rivers of champagne and tons Of terra
pin with which the community is flooded
by them. Its backbone, however, are men
and women Of talent and achievement.
This is not to be wondered at either, when
you consider that outside Of the compare
lively small class Of very wealthy people
who go TO Washington to enjoy the even
ing OF their lives and a well-earned rest,
nearly every one, be he a member of con-
gress, an army or navy man, a scientist
attached to one of the departments, a dip
lomat or jurist, was in all likelihood a
leader in his community, a man In whom
his friends had confidence, a man who had
distinguished himself in humber surround
ings, and who owes his presence in Wash
ington today, therefore, to that fact. In
other words, Washington society is largely
made up OF men and women who have
arrived There are, no doubt, climbers
in II, but their number is small, and, 10
last. they have to display their cleverness
pretty thoroughly. In the long run Wash
ington is not a good field for them.
But can il be that the good women OF
washington we're caught too young. or not
Young enough" continues a critic. Can
IL be that early marriages with struggling
young men bIunted their capacity in after
life OF finding themselves OF doing the
very thing for which. as l have already
said, American women stand p-re-eminent
here and abroad? Whatever the cause, the
| truth is that a comparison between women

Popularity of Luncheon Giving.

"Luncheons are being given much more
frequently now than in other days" says
a writer in Vogue. w are having
more holidays, perhaps, and on Saturdays
town looks forlorn after l o'clock. Ger
tainly they are much in favor at Tuxedo,
as at all the country places within motor
ing distance of town.
AT Chevy Chase, near Washington,
Sunday is always so gay at this time that
tables nave to be engaged weeks in ad-
vance. Many people in town entertain
during the season with Sunday lunch
cons and in the evening either dine with
friends or go to one of the restaurants.
However, women usually stay at home
until 6, or at least are visible until that
time, for they must have a day on which
men can call. Several of the November
brides gave large luncheons shortly be-
fore their Wedding days, inviting the entire
bridal party and intimate friends.
Some old fashioned hostesses cling to
bouillon-perhaps because they have pretty
china cups-but otherwise it is quite out of
fashion. Three courses are ample for lunch
con, which begins with hors d'oeuvres and
shold include one entree. Then there is
a roast or chicken or chops or anything
of that kind and a salad and simple des-
sert. One wine, usually Rhine or mock OF
claret, may be served, and a half hour
after luncheon, as well as dinner, bottled
mineral water (the imported is better form
than the domestic) should be brought to
the drawing room.
once every few seasons there is some
thing really new in the way Of things tc
eat, but L have found that the old fash
Toned viands are the best If they are really
well cooked We do not like fussy dishes
nowadays, owing perhaps to the many
systems for aiding the digestion and keep
ing thin.
Some hostesses remain faithful to grape
fruit as an introduction to luncheon ano
| others to oysters or clans. But neither
the oyster nor the clam cocktail is par
ticular good form. The hors d'oeuvres is
safer, because several may be served in
the French manner and every one has q
choice, while there are many who feal
oysters or CLANS, claiming that they induce
understanding which L do not be
I lieye.
Another gastronomic fad now general!
taboo is the extraordinary salad, and all
except lobster and a chicken ~mayonnaise
nave French dressing. A green salad Il
best, and next to hat one of endives
With pimentoes, or green peppers, the!
make a pretty dish, and the combination
is healthful."

One phase Of life in the jungle that i'm

The atmosphere at the national capital
is supposed to be distinctly political. And
so it is. Yet 1t would be impossible to
recall in the period covering the last
quarter of a century, with possibly one or
two exceptions, a hostess of whom it could
Justly be said that she was capable

Kitchen Utensils

This bowl has a slight depression in
the bottom in which the end of the
beater rests, preventing slipping. They
cost 10 and % cents each, according to
size.
As a time and labor saver when
freezing has to be done, there Is an
ice cream freezer that seems superior.
1t is operated by a cord wound around
a reel on the cover. This cord is
pulled rapidly it's full length, and
then let go TO wind up again. This is
repeated for about two minutes. The
can of cream is then lifted out and
the frozen portion scraped off. After
replacing, the cord is put into mo
ton again and the freezing perfected.
The entire process five
minutes only. Less ice and salt is
required, so it is claimed. than by
any other freezer, and four kinds OF
ice cream can be made at the same
time, II desired.
There is the usual variety of agate
and enamelled wear. The latter comes
in both light and dark blue, as well
as white, and all lined with white
enamel.
The gray agate is the most popular
OF all kitchen ware n so for this
reason zach and every article used in
cooking Is manufactured In the gray.
The line in enamelled ware is less
extensive, although the usual articles
are made.
Now that Il is so much the custom

so they save time or money and some
times a combination Of both.
Now that cooking by gas is almost
universal. housekeepers will be in
terested In hearing about a cooker
which guarantees to save half the
gas and do the cooking efficiently.
This new economical device consists
OF two heavy triangular pieces OF
black enamelled steel, placed one inch
apart, with IL steel strip or band in
vertical position between the two. To
confine the heat it is lined with
asbestos.
There are three holes. one in each
angle. upon which the cooking vessels
are placed, but only one burner OF gas
is lighted, the e being distributed
so that each pot or kettle receives an
equal amount OF heat, Should only
n or two vessels be used at one
time a hamper closes over the other
hole or holes.
The continuance is also good for
heating irons, three or four being
evenly heated from the one burner.
Broll.ng and toasting may be done
over the cooker without fear of burn
ing. II is said.
The price is Si.60.

All the districts of the Nebraska fedora
ton of clubs have definitely declded upon
the meeting places for their spring con-
ventions. but the Fifth district alone has
decided upon its date. This convention will
be held at Hastings, April p and %. The
afternoon of April p will be devoted to an
educational and literary session and the
morning of the 22d to business. Special
stress Will be laid upon the serious obliga-
ton Of convention delegates in getting all
they can from .. meeting and taking It back
to their clubs.
The First district will meet at Pawnee
City the latter part of April and the Second
district at South Omaha. The club Of Walt
hill will entertain the Third district some
time in April; the Fourth district will meet
at Seward, and the Sixth district will hold
two meetings, one at ord and another at

soon be ready for the biennial state con-
v~ention with the annual district meeting.
