CUB REGULARS IN
FIRST REHEARSAL
Complete Lineup of Team
That Will Open Season
in Sharp Workout.

New Orleans, La. March 9.-There
was brightness in the training camp
of the Chicago Cubs yesterday when
James Sheckard and Lou Richie joined
the forces and enabled Manager Frank
Chance to hold rehearsal with all
the regulars in their places. 1t was
the first time since 1906 that all of the
Cubs have been together this early in
the season, for every year since then
one or two members have been late in
reporting and necessitated practice
with recruits filing in.
The team that worked out at Peli-
can park for over two hours yesterday
is the one that Chance expects to put
in the field against the Cardinals on
April IL for the opening championship
game of the 1911 season.
Chance. Evers, Tinker and thinner
man formed the infield. Schultz, Hof-
man and Sheckard were in the outfeld
and Archer at the home plate. OF
course Johnny King was not on hand.
but Archer is considered as much a
regular as King. Steinfeldt was not
at third base. but from the talk of the
manager 1t seems Zimmerman is like
~ to be the regular there this season
anyway.

Elderly women's gowns for house and
afternoon wear are especially attractive
this season. and because OF the simplicity
OF their style it is possible for even an
amateur to achieve satisfactory results
lin making the 1911 models at home.
The most important part In developing
p,ain-looking frocks is to make the foun-
dation as perfect as is possible. There Is
practically neither lining nor boning in
the waists of these dresses. and absolute
ly no drop skirt, SO it Is imperative that
the underwear shall be smooth and the
corset laced correctly.
In fact, il the amateur dressmaker
would give just the same attention to
the fit of her corset and the set OF her
underwear as she gives to her outside
garments there would be fewer failures
i'm such home work.
Black and white in combination is al-
ways favored by middle-aged and elderly
women. and an example Of good style

To Write Letter
Recommending Servant

Tie utmost formality should be observed
when writing references for servants,
because the employers are judged by the
writing quite as much as the woman who
is the subject Of the communication. AS
a matter of fact. a reference. as much as
social letter, is based on the old prin-
ciple that the breeding of woman is
always indicated by her notes.
AS a servants written reference is likely
to go into the hands of persons who are
total strangers to the writer. it is best to
employ the third person in the note. Thus
1t is made rot unlike circular, and
wholly impersonal as far as the recipients
are concerned. The communication should
always begin with the name of the former
employer.
For example, woman who is dimiss-
Ing maid may write:
Mrs. John Smith can recommend highly the
DeaIer. Nellie Joyce as cook or general house
worker She Is Industrious. cheerful, interested
In her work and reliable. She Is entirely honest.
MI, Mrs. Smith i. discharsinS Nellie only because
she is leaving town for the summer and Nclli.
does not wish to 20 TO the country.
Care should be taken to put into the
reference the reason of a maids leaving,
for 1t Is the first question asked of the
woman when she is seeking a new place.
Another important point in the communi-
cation is that the servants honesty should
be vouched for. II the former employer
believes in 1t. If she does not consider
the woman above suspicion i'm this par
tcuiar it is unfair to future employers
to assert that she is to be trusted.
1t Is also wise to include in the written
character the fact that the woman is a
good worker. IL she has so proved herself.
For her own protection a person writing
reference should date it, not only with
the month. but with the'year. Otherwise,
II the woman's character should change
as time passes, the person who vouched
for her formerly will find herself indorsing
an individual as she would not do later.
perhaps. A date prevents this, for
strangers reading a reference need not be
Influenced by it if it is several years
old.
Such communication should always be
written in ink.
