The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

4 AM not one of those people who see immodesty in every little thing.
The folks who shrek "mdecency" at elbow sleeves and Dutch necks
and thin stockings and peek-aboo waists remind IN forcibly of the
old saying, "To the pure all things ire pure"
But when it comes to women Sh adowgraphing the exact lines of
their figures o n the public consciousness the way so many of them do
now-well, there's where l make my stand.
1t wasn't sc bad lin the winter when the materials we're thick and
heavy, but now that they aret thin and cingng-but why describe the
effect, you know as well as l what it IS
Watch any group of men in a public place where mn and women
are passing and see how quickly some OF them glance after a woman
dressed in this way.
Wouldn't you think those glances would burn right into her back?
In Japan, rs you probably know, the women of bad character are
supposed to tie the sash in front instead oil in back. A japanese on a
visit to this country evidently thought he had discovered a parallel to this
CUSTOM when he ia a woman in n of these exceedingly cHnging
gowns, for he pointed her out to his American companion and inquired,
That is what your women of the demi monde wear?"
One more word. Especially for the girl over whose head my previ-
GUS remarks have passed, who is smiling at my accusation of immodesty
as all newspaper talk and assuring herself that I'm on of those who
4 don't know or care anything about style.
Whisper, my dear. A dressmaker whom I know just came back
from a trp. to Paris. ITO think that American women are still wearing
those aboninable tight skirts" she said. why, they've dropped them
long ago in Paris. They say they are ugly and impossible. suppose
you people will realize that in a year or two"
What matter if my previous arguments against tight gowns have
fallen fiat?
Surely l have a answerabIe one in that.

The Gas Stove.

To economic in the use Of gas OBJ
serve these rules:
Have all cooking ready for the blaze
before the burner is lighted.
The burner may be exttnguished 8
few moments before your cooking is
finished and still retain heat enough
for the purpose.
At night turn OF the stopeock be-
tween the stove and the main pipe TO
prevent waste.
Never use q large burner when
small one will do, =
A strip of asbestos pinned around a
burner causes the heat to concentrate
on the cooking instead Of scattering
into the atmosphere.
II you heat by stove utilize the space
under the fancy top for cooking.

e OF BELGIUM.
Queen Elizabeth of Belgium is thir-
ty-ive years old, her birthday. July
%, being celebrated by her admiring
and grateful subjects as a public holi-
day. This Is due to no royal decree,
Last year at the queens request those
who wished to please her donned a
red celluloid rose. which was sold for
a triling sum. The money from the
sale Of the roses was set aside as a
fund for fighting the white plague.
Queen Elizabeth, who is a\princess Of
Bavaria and clever and learned, like
all the members Of this remarkable
royal house, takes a great interest In
the campaign against tuberculosis.
She Is herself a doctor Of medicine and
frequently visits the hospitals, which
are her favorite charities. Queen
Elizabeth's plan for raising a tuber-
culosis fund was so successful that
she has announced that this year her
flower will be the edelweiss and that
1t Is her wish that all money derived
from the sale of the flowers on her
birthday be applied to fighting the
sleeping sickness in the Kongo, where
the late King Leopold left the nation
immense possessions.
Queen Elizabeth is the mother of
two sons, one Of them ten and the 9th
or eight years Of age. She has a
daughter, Princess Marie, who is five
years Of age. The queen personally

who has q talent for music, to play

Since she has beer in Belgium she
has tried in every way to promote the
welfare of the people. Her interest in
education and all good works Is not
restricted to permitting the use Of her
name as %patroness for these moye-
ments. She contributes money and
takes a personal part in the good
work. No wonder that the good peo-
pie Of Belgium, after the reign OF that
selfish old wording, King Leopold,
turn with love to this good, kind wo-
man, who, with her admirable hus-
band, is doing so much to make mon
archy popular.

DESTRUCTION OF RATS
WITH CARBON BlSULPHlDE,

A correspondent, writing to the
Leader, of East Africa, describes a
method pursued in destroying rats in
Java:
NJ. de Kruyn, of the Agricultural
Bureau Of the Dutch Indies at Buiten-
zorg, Java, has published an interest
ing article on the destruction OF rats.
The various contagious diseases rec
commended for this purpose have been
found useless in the tropics, and have
not always proved effective even in
the Temperate Zone. Hence De
Kruyff's experiments will be OF gen
eral interest After working four
years with numerous viruses without
succeeding in creating an epidemic or

following manner: All visible rat
holes were first stopped with earth TO

teaspoonful of carbon bisulphide was

for more than 200 rat holes; l3l dead
rats were found in fory-tnree holes

in exterminating porcupines by this

In June last there arrived i'm the
town Of Lille a French lawyer named
Valensi, accompanied by a swarthy
person who called himself Said Garda,
and who was said to represent the
Government of Morocco.
Their mission, explained Valeusi,
was to found a center of the Red Cres-
cent of Morocco, an order Of which he
himself was president
Frenchmen are always hungry for
decorations The delegates whose pa
pers, written in Turkish, could not be
UNDERSTOOD by the authorities, were ac-
copied as genuine. Valensi and his
friend put up at the best hotel over
which was flown the flag of Morocco,
a grand banquet was served, at which
the visitors appeared in magnificent
Moorish robes, and the proceedings
terminated with the distribution of a
shower OF decorations, each consisting
of a rich Tunisian jewel suspended
from a red ribbon.
Needless to say, the decorated paid
heavily for their enrolment in the
new order, and Valensi and his friend
went off with their pockets well lined.
A few weeks ago the members of
the new order got most unpleasant

it was proved that the Red Crescent
had no real existence, and that the
whole business was nothing but q
