price, to families who desired this par
ticular aid. She soon had as many or
ders as she could fill.
NeedIewomen I'm Demand.
A little woman once knocked at my
door and presented herself with the
statement very welcome to me, that she
was a good seamstress and could take
stitches for women too busy to sew for
themselves. She was, as it proved. an
artist in the line of repairs and could
put a braid on a skirt. sew on buttons,
make over and freshen a garment in
want Of refurbishing, and. in fact. could
lend a hand in ref1ttIng a disordered
wardrobe at a moments notice.
A women who understands the dainty
and delicate art of plain needJework,
who sews well either by hand or on the
machine ought to be able to help her
self, unless her home be far away from
neighbors. When this is the case, the
problem is more difficult of solution.
Yet the brave woman who understands
solitary art perfectly, whether it be
cooking, sewing, or anything else that is
feminine, should turn to that with con-
fidence, and try to establish a connec-
ton with people who are out in the
world. MARGARET z. LANCASTER

enjoy themselves, and they come to the
places where the artists are-say at
the Ritz. at 5 o'clock, at tea, or a
restaurant after the play, and they sug-
gest to the management that they would
like to meet this one. or that one OF
the artists. and It is arranged. That is

1t is quite true that Gaby Deslys will
not talk about her royal sweetheart. Per-
haps she has some real affection and
sympathy for the poor lad who has paid
so dearly for his infatuation for her and
on whom she brought SUCH wreck and
ruin that prevents her babbling about
her liaison with him. Perhaps she has
been warned that silence concerning the
matter IS the better part for her. At
any rate. she Is discretion itself as re-
CARDS that, and she also lives a life of
almost Puritanical austereness.
She wears no corsets. She does not
smoke cigarettes. She does not drink,
not even a light wine with her dinner,
and she keeps early hours.
No Cigarettes.
'T must take care Of myself" she says;
wine makes fat and makes a woman old,
and. as for cigarettes-bah-I can never
get the taste of one out Of my mouth
Concerning New York. Mile. Deslys has
only two coherent impressions. One is
that the houses are so tall. that every one
is in them, and there are no people on
the street. The other is that New York Is
a large city, chiefly Inhabited by news
paper reporters and photographers, and
that she is in n state Of siege from them.
"Of course" she says, I'VE have ze

they could get a better view Of the

Feminine Washington was represented
from the littlest girl, who, II she did

looked askance at the big rostrum erect

Here and there a prospective october
bride flashed her solitaire and fingered
her pencil gingerly until the musical
numbers furnished by the Percy s. Fos-
ter Piano Company, were at an end and
Mrs Armstrong made ready to begin her
first lesson of the week.

With her first word the big audience
became quiet and everybody followed her
with the most attentive interest.
Hundreds OF women long In the service
of cooking, or directing it done, gave a
confirmatory little nod when Mrs.
Armstrong began her lecture with the
statement that the most experienced
cook In the world had still much to
learn.
BY the time she concludes her course
Of lectures, on Saturday. there will be
hundreds of happier homes in Wash
ington, and as many bright expectations
among the younger women. who are at
tending the course in goodly number.
In your enthusiasm in the cooking
course itself, don't forget that. while
Mrs. Armstrong has the floor now. you
will be chief cook yourself the latter
part of the week, when a grand baking
contest will conclude the cooking course,
giving everybody who has attended it
Il chance to win a $50 gas range as one
Of S400 in practical prizes.
Why, wouldn't have the nerve to
enter a contest with so many experienced
|homemakers and cooks,' one very young
housekeeper told me at the cooking sch0ol
yesterday. when I mentioned the contest
You forget" I reminded, that Mrs

Every Woman that there will be moth

Another thing l want to mention for
the sake Of those who did not begin the

no disadvantage in starting in to CLEAN

the sense that one could not be thorough

the other.
For each lecture is independent Of
others, and the recipes of each day are
distributed in leaflet form to every wo-
