WOMAN
LOVES TO WORK
Miss Anne Morgan Says None Of
Her Sex is Happy Through
IdlenesS.
Is Busy Promoting Ball to Help
Shop Girls Get Vacation.


Miss Anne Morgan of New York,
daughter OF Americas greatest fnan-
cier, does mot believe any woman
can be happy unless she works.
Miss Morgan keeps quite busy Just
now she is promoting a ball for the
vacation savings fund for working
girls. She explained some of her
knowledge of conditions and views
on economic problems In talking
about it recently.
We all know" said Miss Morgan,
that the girl who makes from SIS
to Sc week cannot possibly live on
her own resources in New York and
save money l know that no young
woman here can be really self-sup-
porting on less than SIS week, but
great many young women live on
less because they are partially sup
ported by their families.
When any employer tells you
that he pays his girls SIS and Sc a
week, and that he employs only
young women who live at home, you
can be sure that that employer who
does not pay a living wage is prac-
tically subsidized by the families OF
his employees.
THE vacation savings fund was
organized primarily to help the
poorly paid working girl to save
money for vacation, but we hope
ultimately to convince employers
that a girl who works only fifty
weeks is Of greater value than one
who works fifty-two weeks. You
must know that the greater number
of girls making S. and s6 week do
not receive paid vacations and those
that do have little chance OF enjoy
ing them, because their two weeks
are mortgaged in advance to their
families.
The vacation savings fund was
organized to help girls earning
small wages to put aside sums rang
ing from. 5 to 25 cents a week for
the purpose of taking a ito weeks
vacation in the country.
The girls do not wish to feel
that they were in any way the re-
cipients Of charity, and there Is
nothing that detest more than
charity myself Charity solves no
social problems-in fact, 1t retards
their solution. So they conceived
the idea Of giving ball"
Miss Morgan said that she was
stronvly in favor of trades unions,
but was not interested in suffrage
II believe there are many things
more Immediately necessary for
women" she went on, "but suffrage
is certain to come"
"Do you believe that the woman
who works is happier than the idle
woman" was asked.
Really" asked Miss Morgan, SIS
1t absolutely necessary that I should
utter lot OF promides? OF course
we all know that no woman is happy
who does not work Work Is the
greatest Of human privileges Wo-
mans nature Is essentially creative
II believe that woman Is the hap
piest whose creative ability express
SEES itself in a happy marriage, the
making of home and the rearing
Of children. Undoubtedly her life
is the fullest, the most splendid. But
women to whom this happiness does
not present itself must express their
creative powers in their work.
1--WE all know these things to be
truths. We all know that the great
est happiness of life. comes from
work. not necessarily work for
wages, but from usefulness, from ef-
ficiency, from service"

UNsINKABLE SHIP IMPOSSIBLE.
Says Rear-Admiral Bowles, Former
ly Chief Naval Constructor Of the
United States Navy.

ly Chief Naval Constructor Of the
United States Navy.
Francis T. Bowles, head of the
Fore River shipbuilding company at
Quincy, is thus quoted in the Bos-
ton Post:
There is nothing that will abb
solutely prevent destruction OF a
ship like the Titanic, which collides
with virtually immovable object
while going at sul speed. The ship
may remain afoat after such
shock and she may not. There is
nothing known to man that will
guarantee that the ship will keep
afioat, however. The watertight
bilkheads have been proven to be
satisfactory safety devices in acct
dents except those of the most unu-
sual and unlocked for nature"
1T seems to me that the Titanic
had one chance in a million of sink
ing, and that 1t just happened to hit
into that chance. AS it was, the IT,
tanic probably would have fioated
after the accident If the impact was
not responsible for the immediate
disconnection of the machinery and
the flooding of compartments, the
shells of which were uninjured by
the actual collision. IT is impossi-
BILE to build vessel that would be
unsuitable under the conditions
such as the Titanic is said to have
encountered.
II should say that the only way
to prevent the loss of such ship
and its passengers under the condi-
tions which the Titanic met was for
the ships officers to avoid the Ice
bergs. Captains should not take
chances in an ice field. They should
turn their ships and run the other
way whenever they get in the vicin-
ity Of icebergs"

HOUSEHOLD
TALKS

D.Cfana

The process of Harding is an ele-
mentary method that is usually left
to the butcher or omitted entirely be-
cause 1t is considered much too diff
cut to be attempted by any but a pro-
fessionaI chef. 1t is not really a diff
cult feat, gives a splendid flavor, and
often needed richness to beef. poultry
and all meats that are lean or inclined
to be dry.
For Harding, buy firm white salt pork
or bacon. Have 1t very cold, to make
cut more evenly. Do not remove the
rind. but cut the lardoons, ~perpendicu-
larry, Us far down as the rind. There
is a thin knife made purposely for this
called a lardoon siicer. but any very
sharp knife win do this work equally
well. After cutting the pork in strips
the length of the block of pork, and
as even sized as possible, remove the
rind and again cut the meat into
squares of the desired thickness and
length.
For Harding beef a la mode, praised
tongue, leg o. mutton, or a kernel Of
veal, cut the lardoons about a quar-
ter of an inch square and three inches
long. Smaller strips three-sixteenths
of an inch square n two inches long
are for tenderloin of beef, fricandeaux
and saddles Of venison. Still smaller
lardoons are called bacon threads"
and are the most convenient and
slightly size for sweetbreads, small
game, pigeons. fish and veal outlets.
When the lardoons are cut ready
to use, prepare the meat to be larded
by removing all super1uous fat. Shape
the meat, skewering IL necessary. For
a tenderloin of beef weighing six
pounds, run the blade of a thin knife
into the end and cut a pocket about
three-quarters of an inch, or less,
thick. Place the tenderloin on a meat
board or on the work table at a con-
venient height, thread the larding nee
die and work the needle through from
right to left, sticking 1t into the meat
and Withdrawing it with one stroke so
that the strip of pork remains in the
meat with an equal length visible at
each end.
After the first row is larded, begin
the second between the lardoons Of the

DINNER FAVORS.

n inutility of semi-expensive din
ner avors has been a matter of re-
greet to every thoughtful hostess. It
has remained for French producers of
these novelties to introduce the truly
useful favor, and this season heralds
them in endless variety. There is the
bouquet fan, for instance, a fac-simile
of the corsage bouquet of artificial
flowers worn at present, which con-
ceals in its centre a fan hat opens by
he pulling up of a little silver mob.
Violets. all kinds of roses and lilies OF
the valley are used for these.
The hand-painted fans Of thin wood
r likewise inexpensive and useful.
and exceedingly artistic. Vatican fig
ures in panel effects are painted on
some. while others have borders Of
playful kittens engaged in amusing
pranks. Pin cushions and vanity boxes
made of embroidered and spangled silk
are among the other useful favors.
Among the merely ornamental place
cards are the new French feather work
mounted over delicate shades of silk
and fashioned into garish birds easily
leads in popular favor. 1t outrivals
any work heretofore produced in this
line. Newly Matched chicks standing
on miniature millinery boxes AND wear
ing the new Easter bonnets are not
without appeal, while those possessing
a fancy for the grotesque are pleased
with h comical figures of walters
and mattresses that collapse or extend
out of all proportions when adjusted
to the table glasses.

To begin with there. should be no
such thing as company
True courtesy springs from the heart
and it is only selfshness that makes
some of US invariably turn a smiling
face to a stranger and reserve u
scowls and bad tempers for u near

1t Is as important that children
should early be instructed in manners
as that they should read and write. If
young people are taught to be defer
entail to their elders, to be polite and
generous to their playfellows and are
instructed in all the small courtesies
of life they will have been given some
thing (which will help them greatly to
achieve success in after years, no mat
ter what their position. But children
are great imitators and it is impossi-
BILE to teach them these things if the
father and mother are not courteous
to each other.
Consideration for others is the key
note of all good manner and the man
or who lacks this important
quality can never hope to have any
thing but the most transparent sort of
company manners"
Children should be taught to eat
quietly, to take soup from the side of a
spoon without making a d~isagreeable
noise, to break their bread with their
fingers and butter in on the plate,
never on the tablecloth or the palm of
the hand. Never to bite fruit at the
table, but to cut it with a silver knife
and convey the pieces to the mouth
with the fingers or a fork. During the
process of mastication the mouth
should be kept tightly closed and,
naturally a child should never be al
lowed to ak with the mouth full. The
head should never be bent to drink
from a tumbler or cup. but h cup or
glass should be lifted to the mouth. A
child should be cautioned not to lift a
saucer from the table when eating
from it.
After all. the great point is with
both young and Ole to make the ev-
eryday manners so good hat the "com-
pany manners can be left to take
care of themselves.

used with satin to make a pretty effect.
The blouse is made yer a lining which
is faced to form the chemisette and

sections that are stitched together and

Nowadays there always seems a well

things for the character.
A boy learns lessons of fairness, self

win a race means a certain amount of
self-denial.

Teach children to love nature. Many
of us know so absurdly little about the
animals and plants in this glorious
world of ours.
Children must be taught to be OBJ

on the nursery shelf wherein they can

look up full descriptions of n
strange bird or insect that they have
seen while they were out of doors.
When there is an opportunity take
them to the zoo and to various mu-
seums, so that they may ear some
thing about rare or foreign beasts.
They know a lot of nature lore from
kindergarten, which will be not only a
lasting pleasure, but also useful
knowledge when they grow up.
In the cold weather children need
meat to heat the body, but they should
not be given too much. UNDERGONE
meat is more easily digested by chill
dren than well cooked. II the school
room menu is properly arranged, and
eggs. butter, milk and cheese are
served for the children, meat need only
appear about three or four times a
week. Fish and eggs are some of the
best foods in the nursery n school,
room.
Fish should be served with butter
sauce, which makes it more palatable
and far more nourishfng, because
white fish is deficient in fat.

is perfectly fresh.
It is a wise plan to keep the children
away from crowded entertainments
and ill-ventilated buildings during the
northumberland season. In a stuffy
atmosphere colds have their opportu-
nifty. The children's vitality is lowered
as a result of breathing impure air,
and so they "catch cold" when they go
out into the cold air afterwards.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If by any chance you have to use a
nice clean saucepan over a smoky fire
smear 1t over on the outside with just
a little grease before putting it on.
This prevents the smoke from hurt
ing it, and If you wash it afterwards
in some good suds it will be as bright
as ever.
One of the best ways to make a little
meat go a long way Is to make it into
a pie, and add potatoes or any other
leftover vegetables. a hard-boiled G
or two cut into slices and a couple
of tomatoes. Serve some nice gravy
with it.
You should never wear a tailor-made
skirt when lolling about indoors. If
you do it will soon get out of shape
and look shabby. Make it a rule to
change as soon as you can come in
doors and the skirt will keep present.

THE SPRING TONIC.

1t is an old-fashioned rule which
many yet obey, that every n should
take a tonic in the spring Of the year.
Every child in years gone by was COM
PEELED to swallow hat nauseous dose
of oil which he so dreaded or else that
equally awful sulphur and molasses.
True, these things may not do any
great harm but there are things which
will do as much good and are far more
pleasant to take.
There is nothing more healthy for
man, woman or child than fresh spring
vegetables and fruit. Nothing will do
more to clean up the system than these
fresh greens.
The eating of meat should be re-
duced but not altogether discontinued.
Every man requires meat. Veal and
pork should be discontinued in the
summer, and in their place plenty of
fresh vegetables should be eaten. When
you do eat meat add plenty of water
cress to it.
See that the children substitute ripe
fruit for candy. Be sure it Is ripe and
then let them have all they want.
