DUTCH APRONS ARE
NOW In FASHION

No longer does the white apron OF
transparent materials, trimmed with friv-
Olous ribbons and many lace frills. reign
supreme as a skirt protector at chafing
dish parties. For the nonce the Dutch
apron is in possession of the tablier field
and every girl who cannot afford one Of
the imported specimens made OF. dark
blue, green. yellow, or red sateen. with
a printed border in a contrasting dull
hue. that is half the depth OF the entire
accessory, does the next best thing and
makes her apron of whatever material
she has at hand. The border, printed
Holland sateen, Is about twenty-four
inches wide, and has the decoration along
one edge so that the work of making one
of these aprons consists Of narrowly hem
ming the two sides. turning over the top
edge. and shirring Il three times across,
thus forming a half-inch frill and two
half-inch deep puffs against the front of
the waist
The Dutch apron has no strings, but
is secured to the belt by fancy pins.
preferably OF Dutch silver and handi-
work. But materials other than the i'm
ported Holland sateen are used and many
girls prefer the transparent tabliers of
dark hued chiffon or mOusseline de sole
with a wide printed border, while other
apon makers are applying the borders
OF foulards to plain colored surah or
China silks. The main thing Is TO have
the foundation of the apron-never longer
than twenty inches when fnished-of
dark and dull shade and the border of a
decided pattern, and an entirely different
color.

1t must make man fairly hate a woman

OF course, the blame for this state OF
affairs rests with the mothers who hope
that their daughters will marry, but do
success. This is one of the crimes OF
society. A woman should think 1t is just
as much a disgrace 10 raise up a girl
who is not fitted to be a good wife as a
man feels IL a disgrace IL his son mar
ries without being able TO support his
wife.
And II the mothers won't do their
duty in this respect, then the state
should step in and protect the poor, de-
fenseless young men, and no girl should
be granted license TO experiment on
an innocent and inoffensive mans diges-
tion. Make her prove before she marries
that she is a good. freehand cook. and

It's a mighty responsibility a woman
assumes when she takes charge Of a

A SAUCEPAN LID RACK

Many simple contrivances are the
source OF greatest comfort in the home.
A saucepan I'D rack will save the irri-
tation often experienced by failing to
find the cover in the expected place or
the annoyance caused through knock
ing it OF the table or nail upon which
II is hanging.
The fiat board should be about
thirty-six inches long. To each end
Is fastened an upright strip of wood
about three-quarteEs OF an inch square.
Now fasten on to the upright piece two
long strips OF wood about an inch wide,
six or seven inches apart
After sandpaPering well, stain and
paint the rack and fasten against the

Brass screw-hooks might be fastened
to the lower edge OF the board, from
which to hang egg-beaterS wooden

Food and sleep play very important
part in that pleasing aspect Of the body
which We call beauty.
No general rules. however. can be laid
iown for diet. The individual palate
must be pleased to some extent. and what
agrees with one person may not with
another. But there are a few rules Of
fundamental Importance to the health
and good looks OF all the human race.
Meals should be taken at the same hour
every day. and sufficient time be given
them 10 permit Of perfect masticatIon.
Irregular hours for eating ard the habit
Of boiling food soon show their ilI ef-
feets IN changed health and spirits. Even
soft foods, such as potatoes and bread.
need careful mastication, while milk
should be slowly slipped and never taken
in quick gulps. Drinking much water at
meals Is also bad. and as to the guam
tity Of food required all above the
amount needed for nourishment is a tax
upon the digestion. thus springing one
CT the worst leaks for energy. And as
TO the quality Of food, simple dishes deli
cately cooked are undoubtedly the best
for health and looks. although, as the
doctors put II. Il does not matter so
much what you eat as how you eat IL.
You must take good temper to the table
with you. some pleasure in II. the sauce
OF hunger for digestion. Occasional alb
stinence from any food whatsoever Is an
excellent move for the conservation of
energy. as the stomach needs its rest as
well as other parts Of the body. and
nothing conduces more to health and
long life than merely abstainlng from
food at stated intervals. Women who
have passed the prime of life should
anyway eat lightly. as the digestion is
impaired then and every superfiuous bite
is drain on the energy and a hurt to
the looks.
Napoleon's downfall IS dated by some
historians from the moment when he be-

All the famous beauties Of the present

Of age fling the glove to time through
the same practice. 1t is said OF Bern

WHAT WOMEN OF TODAY
ARE DOING WORLD OVER

The Duchess of Albany is said TO be
responsible for the popularity of rowing
among English women. She arises early
each morning and drives in her trap from
her home at Claremont-Esher to Hamp-
ton court bridge, wherc she rows one
measured mile on the Thames. The
duchess is the widow of the first Duke
Of Albany, who died in 1854. two years
after their marriage.
Mrs Lora simons Carey, to whose mem
ory a tablet was recently unveiled at
Princeton, Ill, died at the early age of
thirty years. On reaching HaFpoot, Tur-
key, missionary, ten years ago, she
found hundreds OF widows and children
left destitute by recent massacres, and
to aid them started a lace industry which
has proven a great help. She had charge
OF a young married women's class and
taught them 60 be Christlll<e-home-
makers. They loved her, and her pic
ture stiIl hangs on the walls Of their
homes.
