Sandals of all kinds are we'll liked for

with soles of plated grass. They are
bound in colored ribbons and finished at

material as the slippers or rosettes Of
ribbon. They bear dampness very well
and may be washed, II soiled. Japanese
sandals are also practical footgear for

Very chic novelties which have just
made their appearance and which can
easily be copied by the woman with
clever fingers are the slippers having
a wadded satin sole, whose vamps are
made Of white linen (stifrened and lined
embroidered handsomely by hand, or
those which have vamps OF soft silk
covered with woven rama. These are
finished with rosettes Of soft ribbon and
are exceedingly dainty.
There is nothing that rests one SO

from a heavy walking boot to the luxury
of the light house slipper, and every
one should affect this change directly

something new in the way OF boudoir

year they grow more bewildering in
their beauty of line and more bizarre in
their treatment of color and material

New Way to Cook Oysters

We have all had fried oysters. escal-
Hoped oysters. and oyster soup every win
ter since we were old enough to eat
them, and we are always glad to know
Of some new way to prepare them.
Oyster cocktails are always nice to
serve at dinners or Sunday night sup
pers with thin sandwiches or salt wa
fers and coffee. Cut one pint ice cold
oysters into small pieces. Mix with them
one tablespoonful each horseradish, vine
gar, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato
catsup. one-half teaspoon tabasco sauce,
one-half teaspoon salt, and two table
spoons lemon juice. Put In six small
glasses, or fill lemon shells or tomato
cups with the cocktail mixture, and
serve.
Oyster canapes are delicious. Try them.
Cut ten large oysters in pieces, reject
ing the hard muscle. Add to them one
tablespoon each Of capers and cucum-
Der pickles, chopped, two tablespoons
horseradish. and seasoning to taste.
Spread this over cold toasted bread,
cover with a dressing made Of one
fourth cup of mayonnaise and two table,
spoons Worcestershire sauce.
A new way to cook oysters Is TO grid
die them. Clean, scald, and drain two
dozen large oysters. Have griddle
evenly heated; drop on 1t a bit OF butter
as large as a pea and put an oyster on
II; lay on one dozen in this way, giving
them plenty OF room. Put on another
bit of butter, and turn first oyster on
that proceed in this way for ALL They
must brown quickly.
And oyster chowder is a good as well
as an inexpensive way to prepare oys-
ters It provides means of serving a
large family with a dish Of oysters at
small expense. Take three slices OF
picked pork, two onions. three dozen
crackers (soakedD, five dozen oysters,
one quart milk, and season to taste;
boil the pork, onions, and five sliced
potatoes together until nearly DONE. and
put into the pot the oysters, milk,
crackers, and seasoning; then boil five
rotuutes and serve

By DOROTHY DIX.

could earn no more money by doing two
things badly than you do by doing one
badly.
All that any stenographer needs to do
to increase her earning capacity is to
do her work better. The market is glut-
ted with ignorant. incompetent stenog-
raphers who can neither write nor SPELL
who work with one eye on the clock and
their minds full of vaudeville shows and
beaus. They are cheap because they do
cheap work, but the world is full of
rushed business men who are simply ach-
ing to pay high salaries to the kind Of
stenographers that can be relied upon to
do quick. accurate work.
They Concentrate.
The women who climb up in offices
from assistant twpewriters to being pri
vate secretaries didn't do it by taking up
some other work on the outside. They
concentrated on stenography and learned
their own trade thoroughly.
If you want to make more money, little
sister, all that you've got to do is to
do your work so well that you put it in
the high-priced class in the labor market.
And this is true, no matter whether you
are a prima donna or a scrubwoman.
Did you ever stop to think why one
cook gets 50 a week and another cook
difference in the quality of their cooking.
One can't boil water without scorching
II, or make a biscuit that isn't a deadly
weapon, and the other can take a tough
piece Of beef and a potato and an onion
and a carrot, and make a dish that is
fit for a king. One cook has never taken
the trouble to learn her trade. and the
other has mastered every detail of it.
Why is it that one woman has to make
dresses for SO or SIS a piece, while
another can get 800 or $500 for making
gown? Simply because the cheap
woman is a bungler, and the other
woman is an expert. One woman will
send your dress home with the skirt
hanging forty-seven different ways, with
the sleeves sewed in wrong and the
hooks not matching, while the other
sends you back a perfect garment that
it is a pleasure and a comfort to wear.
One turns out incompetent work, and
the other good work and we cheerfully
pay the difference in price.
The great majority of middle-aged
women who are suddenly thrown on
their own resources to make a living
take boarders. Most of them fail at it,
and the reason is because they never do
their work properly. For seventeen years
lived in boarding houses and in all of
that time I never lived in but one single,
solitary home that was properly run.
And that boarding house keeper made a
fortune in a few years, and has retired,
and is living in luxury.
We all write our own price tag, little
sister. We get for our work just ex-
actly what it is worth, and the minute
you begin turning out a first-class job,
you will receive first-class price for it.

Boiled Dinner.

It Is difficult to have a boiled dinner
for two, as one does not care for It
the second time, so here Is a remedy:
One small head of cabbage, two white
turnips, three or four potatoes, two one
and one-half inch thick pork chops, and
two slices of bacon. Cut the cabbage
so as to retain its shape and still be
able to put inside of It the chops. NeI'
put the bacon between the two chop !
and tie together with white Irvine. Ate
the cabbage has boiled about twenty
minutes add the chops. When a little
tender add the potatoes and turnlps.
Any left over cabbage Is good fried with
potatoes German style.

Not much longer to wait.
! The Borden Baby Contest closes to-
morrow after full month that has been
given to the mothers of Washington
and its vicinity to enter their little ones
for a splendid prize.
And If every chick and child, repre-
scented by nearly 1000 pictures. does not
come out at the big end OF the horn
it will not be because their parents have
not been good advance agents.
Hundreds of pictures have been brought
to The Herald Office by either the father
or mother OF the baby in order that I
might not miss one single point OF
beauty pictured by the camera man.
And this isn't all, for have been told
hundreds of times since the contest be-
gan that the goodness of the little tots
far excelled their loneliness, a fact which
parents think should be taken into con-
sideration by the judges.
Now II the babies of Washington are
better than they look, We are surely
entertaining angels unawares, for you
will agree with me that you have never
seen so many beautiful babies as have
been published.
All Pictures VIII BE Published.
And these are but a sample. Those
that have not yet been introduced to you
through The Herald are Just as lovely
as the ones you have seen. You will see
them all, for every baby's picture en-
tered in the contest will be published.
OF course, it was impossible to show
them all to you before the contest closed,
but that will make no difference with the
judges. They will see them all, and when
they have decided on the prize awards
those that have not been in The Herald
will be reserved for publication. so please,
dear mother, don't let it worry you a
mite II you have not yet found your
little funmaker looking back at you
some morning when you opened The
Washington Herald. The pleasure is in
store for you, and will yet be realized.

have received letter from a young
girl. who says:
Il am a stenographer, getting a mod
crate salary, and would like to increase
my income in some way. If I could
take up some study at night which
would not cost very much, would be
very glad to do so. Can you advise me
what 1 had better study so that I may
be able to earn more money!
Yes, indeed; little girl. I can advise
you about a study to take up at night
that will enable you to earn more money,
and it is the study Of stenography.
If you are getting moderate salary
for your work in an office, you may be
very sure that the reason Of ii is that
you are not worth better pay. The law
of demand and supply is inexorable, and
il you do not receive the highest price
for your services it is simply and solely
because you don't deliver the high-priced
class of goods.
Quit thinking of yourself as a poor,
down-trodden, unappreciated working
woman, and your employer as q grind
ing tyrant and a growing, grouching
churl. Just try to get on the outside
of yourself and take a good, long, dis
passionate look at your own work, and
see if you don't think yourself that it
is pretty Indifferent, sloppy, hit-or-miss
work.
How About 1t:
How fast can you take dictation?
How accurate are you? How do you
spell? Can you take a score of letters
without making a single mistake? Can
you write even a single page without
making errors that you have to rub
out and that make unsightly smears?
Isn't your spelling of the sort to indi-
cate that you're not even on visiting
terms with the dictionary? Do you
do the sort Of work that your employ
er can trust TO go out of the office
without some more competent person
looking over it to catch and correct
your mistakes?
Oh, you say, you don't pretend to
be very fast, or an expert typewriter
and you never could learn how to SPELL
and, of course, you make mistakes, and
the typewriter will baik and buck
jump for you, and it's the place of the
man higher up 10 catch the error when
you have written ten thousand" for
lone thousand" in a letter, or that the

In a word, my dear little sister, YOU
admit that you have not mastered your
trade and that you turn out the most in
competent work, and yet you complain
that you get a moderate salary and
you'd like to study something else to
do on the side Believe me, I give you
a straight tip when l tell you that YOU
would make a mistake to divide your
energies and interests, and that you

LITTLE BITS OF WISDOM.

AS most men seem to know just
how children should be trained,
1t is a pity that they don't do it.
When you see how easy it is to
be popular with men by fatter-
ing them, you wonder that more
girls do not receive a superabun-
dance of attention.
A girl hides a new engagement
ring in such a manner as to make
sure that every one will see it.
If people would only give as
much serious thought to the fu-
ture as they give in worrying
about the past. perhaps they
would get along better.
1t is easy to forgive the person
who hurts your feelings, but you
can't help bearing a grudge
against the fellow who Injuries
your vanity.
Naturally. we disapprove of the
people who are so unlike our
selves that we can't understand
them.
1t is usually the people for
whom you try to do the most who
criticise your efforts.
The fact that your friends may
have the same failings will not
prevent them finding fault with
you for having them.
