ON THE QUEST OF JUSTICE
It Was the Only Thing an Oppressed
 Man in New York Sought

New York Letter to the Cincinnati Times
 Star.
 Until a few months ago the chief conl- riaint of the police department was tha. it made no difference if evidence was produced against certain arrested crim- inals. They were certain to be released OF bail-which was promptly forfeited and forgotten-or else found guilty and tileir sentences suspended.
 Police Commissioner Waldo in his latest report commented vitriolically upon this .Jrdical practice. Following this action one Of the morning papers habitually runs little table of the action taken by the different judges in the criminal cases de- csued by them the previous day. It shows the names of the men arrested, the charge and the disposition of the cases. l. Is noticeable that the number of sen- tences suspended. where the convicted n.en are of known bad character, has greatly fallen off since this double bar rc,ed prod has been put in action.
 But it has not pleased the judges a bit. and now and then they show it. The other day Judge Mulqueen called Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty before the bench and vigorously roasted him for presuming to inform the court on the number of previous convictions to the c.edt of the man who had been found guilty on the previous day, but had not yet been sentenced. He did not question the truth of the police statemen. He sim ply didn't want to have that sort of statement placed before him.
 Amt he pip. huh?" asked the pris- oner. in glee. "Dere's de kind of judge to Lave. He won't stand for no gulf from tfese here fatties."
 Mulqueen glanced at the prisoner, who l ad just been sslown by Dougherty to have been vicious offender for the past 9 years The prisoner took that look as his cue. I'm the victim of police prej- ucice, judge" he whined. They put up job on me. I never done nuttin, but they stalled for me until they got me. cont want nuttin only justice.' Nulqueen was seething at this mala- oI oft interruption.
 You'll get it." said he. Twenty years"

Importance of the Back in
 Corset Making

Mime. Recamier once said: 'I am the front of my gown; but, realizing that the back of it must bespeak my ind- viduality or the lack of it. must make good my claim to a figure or the lack of 1t, for at least part of the time, I pay particular attention to it. I think about it and plan for 1t for days before I allow il to be cut.
 Mime. Reeafflier lived at a time when there were few helps to the figure There were scorsets, to be sure, but these were stiff, unyieldng instruments of torture made of the heaviest of material and boned with nonresident steels and even boards. So it is not strange that a woman whose fame for charm Cthat elusive power we all desire) and for great influence socially and even politically has come down to us through the centuries, should bave given such careful attention to the appearance of her back in its relation tc beauty of gown and figure.
 She evidently Knew that when people could see the play of thought on her ex- pressive face when she talked. and could enjoy her wit and brilliance of repartee, her figure and her gown were of sec ondary importance, but she was aggres- sive. She would run no risk of being uncharming, or of losing. for even a mo- ment. the influence which was hers; and she spent time and thought in making the back of her gown bespeak her individ- uality and make good her claim to a
 'figure."

The Carving of Lamb and
 Roast Beef

Many people pay special attention to the carving of game, but they do not seem to think that a roast of beef or a leg of lamb requires any special care. Often roast beef or lamb is so fsa=ly carved that the cuts really banish the appetite.
 It is a simple matter, of course, to carve a leg of lamb or mutton if the bone is removed and the meat is stuffed; then all one has to do is to cut slices, beginning at the larger end of the leg and cutting down, in straight, thin slices, to the plat ter.
 If the bone has not been removed, all the carver can do is to carve to the bone, and after several slices have been cut to give the knife a little twist at the bone, so as to sever the meat around the bone; then the slices are ready. to serve.
 With roast of beef, there is, too, a little knack. Much depends upon the kind of roast. The roast may be a large one, including several ribs, so that the ribs themselves form the base of the roast. In this case, the carving is done at right angles to the platter. the knife be- ing held parallel to the ribs. If however, the roast rests on the side, the carving is parallel to the platter, the knife being held parallel to the ribs.
 tise, perhaps, and a sharp knife, but if a person only knew how much more appe- tizing is a slice of meat well carved than one indifferently cut more attention would be given to the matter.

Gossip of the Shops

It makes you want to own a country home more than ever to see the lovely new summerry draperies now in the shops. Tn curtains especially there are several departures For instance, the curtains of the year are without ruffles and are supposed not to be tied back, but to hang straight up and down their entire unbroken length. Most of them, by the way are sill curtains.
 There are. among others. the dainty. barred scrim curtains, through which the sunlight sifts transucently. The first and freshness. They are altogether with out decoration with the exception of the two-inch hem, which is neatly hemstitch- ed, and the laundering of them is, there fore, an extremely simple matter. They used chiefly in libraries and living rooms.
 The swiss curtains. with printed color cd borders. are just the thing for the pretty girls room or for the nursery. A charming border is of big pink roses, which the artist has tied together with ribbons of baby blue. These curtains are also intended to be draped perfectly straight with no pleats ar shirring.
 Scrim curtains come usually with Cluny insertion and are either cream or dead white in hue. with few in the darker Arabian shadings. These latter are used in libraries because they harmonize SC much better than the white ones with rich heavy furnishings.

OF LEAP YEAR.

Joseph Conrad, in his wonderful story of Youth" makes his hero explain how absolutely impossible it is for him to accomplish things as other men do. He puts 1t this way:
 You get to a place where you can sim ply do nothing either great or little not a thing in the world-not even marry an Old Maid"
 Not even marry an Old Maid? Now that is classifying man as pretty futile, isn't it?"
 There wa sa time, when an Old Maid, by virtue of the parental attitude toward her. was glad enough to spell out pro- posal in the deaf and dumb alphabet and accept the mute who rendered it for bet ter or for worse-anything to get out from under THE FAMILY'S' feet-and she married, and she didn't care whether she lived happily ever after or not-"EYER AFTER" meaning to her mind some vague far away country described at length by the "six Best Sellers
 She had a home-a and that was-some- thing!
 Something?
 Well, We should say so!
 A good deal in the days when a woman couldn't work if she wanted to-the chance being that there wasn't anything for her to do.
 Marrying was the only profession open to her-and naturally to marry her was as easy as falling off a log.
 In many cases SHE knew 1t; often times maybe. she wasn't as much elated over it as she was credited with being.
 We have known Old Maids who on "the tag end of 30' picked up any old thing in the way of a possible husband that might drift their way, but we also know that THEY KNEW as well as the rest of the world just what they were getting.
 They knew that the men weren't much, as men go, but there was charmed Mrs" thrown in and 1t was ''any-port- n-a-deep-calm-so ort-of-proposition.'
 It's Leap Year and the question calls for a different solution | It isn't as easy for man to marry as 1t once was-the girl he wants-and it's equally hard for him to keep from mar 1 rying the girl he DOESN'T want. l Does it ever happen? | The Metropolitan papers have been giv- ' ing pages since January l, 1912, to the question: Should Women Propose

Origin of the Worlds Lav-
 ender

The delicious whiff of fresh sweet laven der-"sixteen blooming branches for a penny"-is once again in the London streets. But who that blanks down his penny in exchange for the bundle of fra grance ever thinks how the plant came by its soothing name? Back he must go in imagination to the clean old Romans and their cult of the bath. Lavender found high favor with them to perfume their
 baths, and 1t was they who called 1t lavandula, the root of the name being the Latin lavare-to wash. In the olden days, too lavender leaves were an important ingredient in the making of precious spikenard ointment. Although we regard lavender as so peculiarly English a plant, owing to it's extensive cultivation in the home counties and it's associations with our English homes and gardens, it was not, as a matter of fact, introduced to this country until the 16th century, when it came from France with the Huguenot
 settlers. The Romans did not, apparently. bring 1t to us when they gave us our fine roads.

A Hat Story

"Just let me tell you the latest hat story said young woman. "A friend of mine had been i'll for some time, and so, of course. didn't buy hat in the early fall. Finally she was able to sally forth on the all-important quest. She looked and looked, and the more she looked the more discouraged she became for the hats were most remarkable, both as to shape and trimming. The result was that she didn't find anything that suited, so she returned home minus her hat.
 "She knew that her husband would ex- pect to see new hat on his return from the office. so she decided not to have him entirely disappointed. Her sense of humor was still keen, no matter how tired she was physically. She proceeded to evolve a sample hat small waste bas- ket serving as the foundation. Ribbon,

A certain "Eternal Feminine in a Col lege town not a thousand miles away from Birmingham has so many admirers that you couldn't stir them with a stick. She was the REAL College Widow In a way she was fond of all the many suitors in her train.
 Nobody could tell which man was ahead
 Seniors and Freshmen lost Class dis functions and met on common ground v'he nthey turned down her street
 Two Literary Lights from New York. who were taking course in English at the College, would drop in late in the afternoons and ask her opinion on the subject of things they had written and she always smiled and said she '"didn't see why they didn't send them to the Atlantic Monthly or the outlook" " A lawyer and a banker were among the 'also rans,' as well as three men "who owned a machine.
 If the College Widow had been less tact full things would have been fearfully awlS- ward but she was all tact and cleverness, else she wouldn't have achieved her title of College Widow"
 The only man who felt at Peace with all the other incongruous aggregation was the Young Preacher in the town, who dropped in nearly every evening to consult her about Charity work and the best time to hold BaZar.
 They were all civil to him because he wore the cloth'' but they didn't think mrch of him, either mentally or physl- cally.

Matrimory-Before and
 After Taking

He was a woman hater. and she was a
 bachelor maid,
 And they lived in pair of studies, where
 the mice undaunted strayed; And while she was painting Madonnas,
 meath a slxylight dim and drear, He wrote on the Marriage Question =
 to pay for his buns and beer. Now it chanced, on a day in April, that
 they met on the rickety stair She noticed the rent in his jacket, he
 noticed the rose in her hair; And twas only a natural sequence that
 she should borrow his pen, And that he should borrow her frying
 pan-and bring it back again. Then, of course, they exchanged opinions
 on "art'' and work" and fate And the thing they most hated-the matri-
 monial statel
 And over their studio rabbits they
 thrashed the subject out. Oh, how they laughed and scoffed and
 jeered and juggled it roundabout! For they scorned the cold conventions
 that make men what they are And hitched their proverbial wagons to
 the tail of the topmost star. They vowed they would never marryi No,
 never-and yet that June They marched up the aisle together to
 Mendelssohn's foolish tunel Oh, alas, for the sweet Madonnasi She
 never paints them now; And to write on the burning question, he
 has really forgotten how. For he hasn't clear idea on that won-
 derful topic. marriage, And the wagon she htehed to the topmost
 star has turned out a baby carriage. She signs, as she peels potatoes, for the
 touch of a palette knife, And he. as he writes pot-boilers, for the peace of the lonely life; And the only thing under Heaven on which they've agreed, to date, Is their old unchanged opinion of the matrimonial state! By Helen Rowland.

Why the Table Knife Is
 Rounded

Until the 17th century knife blades had pointed ends, as can be readily understood when the knife of those dsys was used for hunting and table purposes indiscrfm- inatey It happened that Cardinal Rich elieu was compelled to entertain chan- cellor Sequier-a vulgar and unmannerly man. who, at the close of the meal. pro- ceeded to use his knife as toothplck This vulgar act so upset the cardinal that he ordered the end of every knife in his possession to be rounded. and so great was Richelieu's influence that the fashion was soon adopted all over the country. This is the vulgar, but nevertheless in- teresting origin of the rounded knife of today.
