New Type of Woman.


The eyes of the world are directed
at the matured women who are doing
things. The exclusive society woman
and she who has only good looks TO
recommend her are rapidly becoming
thing of the past. We are living in
an intensely practical age. So rapidly
are we living that all forces are ANAL
gamating and evolving type of wom-
an such as the world has never seen
before. She is not a aedgling, nor
merely pretty thing, but woman of
gracious tact and wide sympathy, who
has lived down many bitter disap-
pointment and crushed many a sor-
row, but who is imbued with the op-
timistic spirit of Young America; she
knows that in order to do her best
she must look her best; she inspires
old and young with her youthful en-
thusiasm; she is sincerely interested
In every humane question of the day;
thus unconsciously does she cultivate
those endearing qualities OF the heart,
the daily exhibition of which, in the
course of years, imparts an atmosphere
of soft, sweet femininity. and gives to
a woman when she reaches middle life
that delightful subtle spirit we call
charm" This is perhaps what the
satirical Bernard Shaw meant when
he asserted that no woman Is possible
until she has reached her thirty-fifth
year, and not worth talking with until
her fortieth,-The Delineator.

This mating business is much more
serious than young people can ever
be made to realize, and, while / be-
lieve young people should be left to
make their own selections l believe
also that they should be made to see,
before critical stage is reached, as
nearly as possible what marriage
means, says Erman J. Ridgway in the
Delineator,
What does marriage mean? Not IN
transports, high spots, purple days, but
in terms of every day. 1t is generally
believed that the most successful mar
riages follow the mating of contrasts.
nervous with phlegmatic, sunny with
solemn, light with dark. and so on.
There is probably something in the
theory, though If the contrasts are
too marked the result Is likely to be
misery. The chasm is too wide to
bridge.
A perfect mating is hardly attain
able. There would be fewer misunder-
standings and more successful" mar
riages If more people realized that a
marriage can be successful without be-
ing perfect. Perhaps, too, there would
be easier shedding If more people real
lied that marriage is an attempt at
three matings: The mating of two
souls; the mating of two minds; the
mating of two bodies. Two people fair
ly mated in any two of these can make
very happy marriage of it, even If
the other mating is hopeless. as long
as they understand the situation and
decide to make the best of 1t.

eating the air except in the heaviest
storms" said Gen. Bell II have no
doubt that aeroplanes will be perfected
so that they may be relied on to carry
three to five persons and a certain
amount of explosives.
By the time this comes about ord
nance for the purpose of destroying
air craft will unquestionably have
been developed. and ballistic tables de-
signed TO control the trajectory of
such ordnance.
Owing to the speed at which air
craft can travel the problem of accu-
rate firing at them will be difficult of
solution.
"Aeroplanes will unquestionably be
of very great assistance in making
hasty reconnoissances of the enemy,
but observations therefrom, imagine,
would not be very valuable in topo-
graphical surveys.
Without doubt there will be spe.
cial lenses and accessories designed
for Photographic work at high speed,
so that accurate pictures may be made
of the enemy's mobilization and dis
tribution,"

FORTY WAYS OF BAKING BREAD.
From Sticking 1t on n Hot Jar to
Turning Kettle Over 1t.

From Sticking 1t on Hot Jar to
Turning a Kettle over 1t.
I'm visiting Greece l was struck
with the primitive ovens built behind
most of the houses in small towns"
says a correspondent of the Bakers
Weekly. ''These were like large bee.
hives. built OF clay; they were evil
IDENTIFY solid up t. the sole. then had
the arched roof over, with door at
one side.
They are heated with fires of straw
and twigs and when ready for use are
swept out, the dough put In and the
I opening stopped up with stones and
clay till the bread is cooked. Struc-
lures like these are typical of the
ovens found in many lands where men
have had to evolve appliances for vari-
Gus uses from the materials they had
at hand
Thus, in some places we find holes
dug in the earth and lined with stones,
in which a fire is kept burning till
sufficient heat is raised, the bread be-
ing then put in and stone laid over
the opening, with a fire on it to keep
UP the cooking heat.
I'm these ovens, we are told, the
south sea islanders bake their bread,
fruit and yams and roast their pork,
and doubtless they answer their pur-
poses very we'll. In some eastern
countries fire is put into large earth
en- jar with small mouth and sloping
sides, the cakes of bread being stuck
on the outside of the jar to bake.
Then we know the old-fashioned
girdle. so much used in old Scotch
farmhouses, on which scenes, bannocks
and outcakes are fired. This is also
employed in Scandinavia for baking
the universal fiat brod' and 1t Is also
in use In many other countries In vari-
Gus shapes.
In Cornwall the old kettle style of
oven is still used for home baking, the
dough being laid on the hot hearth
stone with a large round iron pot In
verted over 1t. Fire outside of this
keeps up the baking heat and the Cor
nish kettle bread is very good eating
indeed, even If it is little puddingly
in the center sometimes.
Even more primitive means Of bak-
ing have to be used sometimes, as
when the Australian digger rolls up
his 'damper' in leaves and covers 1t
with hot ashes to bake; but still, all
methods from hot stones to draw plate
ovens are used for the one great pur-
pose, to make bread, and the variety
of means used for this end go to show
the universal Importance of that arti-
Gle Regular bakehouses with proper
ovens seem to have been in Use. how
ever. for hundreds of years, and doubt
less many relics oil them are still In
existence"

So ~ WAS agreed that Fred should

of this banquet on his way home 20
dress, and that he should call for his
cousin at o'clock He had not quite
made up his mind about her when he
went away, nor was he sure that he
liked the look of her as much as ne
had protested to do. She was very
pretty and very unconventional; but,
like the majority of young English
men, he had no great fancy for un-
conventional ladies', and 1t seemed to
him that some of her speeches had
been marked by a certain lack of good
taste
But this slight inclination to take UP
a critical attitude was dispelled before
he had been sitting a quarter of IN
hour opposite to her at the little round
table in the restaurant She disguised
none of her impressions or sentiments,
least Of all the almost infantile de-
light which she derived from having
plenty of money to spend; she said
whatever CHANGED to como INTO her
head; and some of the things that
came into her head were rather quaiat
and made him laugh. She entered In
to conversation with the waiter, who
was German. asking him why he
had left his native land. whether he
would have to go home in case of war,
and whether he didn't think it would

naturalized as a British subject al

Folding Ironed Clothes.

In folding clothes for ironing each
article should always be folded length
wise, and the reason they should be
so folded is because the thread that
runs in that direction is always strong
est These threads go around the
loom, while the wool. which goes to
and fro over and under the long
threads, is not So strong, so that iron
ing crosswise will not only draw the
article out of shape, but will cause 1t
to wear more quickly. This is espe-
cially true of table and bed linens.
