Der Own HlIowance

T OTIS Of girls who have successfully
passed a difncult mathematical ex-
animation and can tell the exact cost
OF feeding so many thousand sheep
when each one consumes a given
quantity OF food in half day are ut
terly ignorant OF the value OF money

life. Why? Generally speaking. be-
cause mothers have done everything
for them. Mother and father. too. have
furnished all the money required for
charity clothing. amusements and

but she has all she wants and has no
idea OF making q. certain sum serve for
any particular purpose.
This Is not Just 20 the girl herself
She arrives at the age Of nineteen per-
haps without possessing that knowl-
edge which gives self reliance. There
is no exaggeration in this statement.
More than one husband has said some
thing to the following effect: Bless

world, but she doesn't know little bit
about making her allowance going

the truth, which goes 10 prove that II

something of the purchasing power OF

II is hardly fair TO the girls to plunge
them suddenly into the struggle in
that fashion. The right way Is TO be-

Bow to Secure Good Servants

EIRsT try 10 remember that servants
have feelings as we'll as yourself.
When their work is done give them a
word OF praise, so that they see that
you appreciate their efforts. and see to
Il that they have time TO do their
mending and TO get out a little for
change OF scene Some mistresses do
not realize how dreary the common
round Of domestic servant is.
Let your servant observe in your
conduct just the qualities and virtues
that YOU would desire they should pos
sess and practice toward you.
Be liberal with food. Housework is
a very hungry calling. so don't grudge
your servants a share OF the various
dainties YOU press upon your family
and visitors.
Don't expect your servant to execute
half dozen errands for you when she
is out for her own pleasure. She
doesn't like II; neither does her sweet
heart.
Remember when engaging a maid
that you are making a contract. state
clearly the duties which you expect her
10 perform and IN this way avoid con-
tention arising afterward from misun-
derstandings.
Show every kindness to your servant,
but from the first be firm in correcting
things you dislike. Then she will see
that you are mistress and not attempt
that undue liberty which later on is so
difficult to check.

GET THE BYZANTINE HIPLEss
FIGURE

Byzantine is the name for the new
figure. To be truly Byzantine YOU
must be truly hipless. This means that
you must be so well shaped that you
can wear the thin. loose cllnging stuffs
without looking odd in them. You
must be so slight that you will sway
At the same time you must be plump
in your hands and arms and quite full
in the face. You can acquire this only
by the right kind Of exercise and diet.
For exercise walk long and persist
emily every day and eat parsley or let
tuce with salt on It. not dressing
These greens act as brooms to the
stomach TO get the Byzantine figure
YOU must learn the polite art OF dress

puffy or II anything snaps or gives,

MUSINGS OF ELINOR HIrE
FEED THE BRUTE

ONCE upon time youthful bride
sought the counsel of an expert
enced matron as 10 the best way Of re-
tanning the love and affection OF her
husband, and the elder woman replied
with epssramatic terseness, Feed the
brute"
There is far more in this advice than
appears on the surface. and II is worth
while for every married woman to con-
slider whether It would not pay her TO
put the precept into practice.
A man. being intended to perform
harder work than a woman, is consti-
tuted by nature to require more food
than she finds suficient, and whenever
the two sexes are placed on rations the
doctors have decided that a woman can
thrive on only two-thirds Of the quanti-
ty that is necessary for a man.
Again. the early training has no
doubt something 10 do with II, for most
mothers make a distinction in the
quantity and nature of the food which
they give to their little sons and to
their daughters.
In the early days of the world It Is
said Jacob asked for savory meats that
not altered much since his day except

There are in man many things lack,
ing which properly constituted woma4
would like to see supplied and also q
great deal which she would be delight,

doing so they sacrifice some OF theij
pet theories respecting diet. justice and
the rights Of the sex instead of holding
hard and fast to their opinions, how.

for the Smart Girl

SEPARATE braid tunics bid fair 10
be worn this season on linen suits
The braid IS Of linen and infrequently
made OF silk The design is a narrow
latticework The braid crosses itself IN
small squares and is tightly knotted
az each intersection over this work
runs a design more or less elaborate,
done In heavy padded stitch either Of
silk or mercerized floss. The effect is
not unlike that Of the sleeveless coat
worn last summer.

Among the new automobiling coats
the smart loose woven tweeds and
homespuns play an important part
These coats are all strictly tailor made
models Some OF the warm tawny
yellow or russet tones with big but
tons or tortoise shell or mother-of-
pearl and Innings OF changeable MESA
line are very chic models despite their
severity.
A touch Of black enters into the
trimming OF many tub gowns. A
French idea in this connection is the
Introduction OF two long vertical Sits
on the chest or bust and similar Sits
on the turnback or plain GUNS OF
three quarter or elbow sleeves. These
Sits are buttonholed in the color Of
the material. and through them wide
black ribbons are run. The ribbon Is
tied in a large smart bow on the blouse
front and in small bows on the sleeves.
This trimming gives a knowing air to
even a plain blouse and skirt.
