sand persons are helped each month, most

society is organized to provide information,
advice, guidance, protection and aid to all

experience, illness or other disability, are
in need of assistance, and while the direc-

young women and girls, its services are
at the disposal Of all travellers who need
them, regardless Of age or sex.
Agents are constantly in attendance at
the Grand Central and Pennsylvania sta
tions while other stations are In touch

INSTEAD OF DARNING
Ways in Which the Usefulness Of
Stockings May Be Prolonged

In these halcyon days Of guaranteed
hosiery-at very moderate price. too-it
can be said with emphasis that II does not
pay to spend much time darning stockings.
When they have really begun TO give out
the putting of a whole hour on a large
heel hole is nothing less than wicked. The
sensible housemother prefers to put by the
ragged socks and stockings and to buy
new rather than TO spend on prolonging the
life of a couple of pairs for two more
wesrngs the time that would suffice to
make a new outing shirt or simple tailored
waist.
But there is no need to throw old black
stockings in the rag bag for want of ways
70 use them. First OF all. a we'll worn black
sock is one OF the best things to be had for
use in sponging of dark clothes with house
hold ammonia or other cleaning fluid. 1t
leaves no light colored lint. and is soft and
absorbent to handle. A supply should be
always in some convenient place If the
men OF the household have a way OF wear
ing black or dark blue suits for everyday.
Woven rag carpet is no longer thing
.vspised. Through the winter many home
lovers return TO the old fashion of sewing
carpet rags, TO be woven into serviceable
rugs for nursery and sitting room, as we'll
as for the furnishing Of the summer bum
galow. The touch Of black is most de-
sirabie TO set off the summer bungalow.
The touch Of black is most desirable to set
of the brighter stripes. and for this pur-
pose old black stockings cut around and
round In spiral fashion. or as an apple Is
peeled, to make a long strip. will be found
useful 10 the very toe.
One notable housewife uses stockings in
the mop that she polishes floors and wipes
up with. as they are softer than the mops
usually sold. Wherefore, save tho old
stockings.

CARD CATALOGUE FOR RECIPES.

Prudent friends always hesitate about
giving cookbook to a bride because in
this conscientious age no reasonable young
woman would dare start the battle of
housekeeping without one and she may
not take kindly TO a second. But TO give
a struggling bride card catalogue for
recipes-that's quite another matter. Who
has not seen the housewife cut promising
recipes from her favorte newspaper and
put them II the back Of her tattered cook
book, where they are never to be found
when wanted because unindexed? The
bride may be spared all this by the addi-
ton to her kitchen library of "The Corona
Cookbook" CThe Abbey Company. Chicago.
publishers). which is not a book at all, but
a collection of stiff cards on which may be
written or pasted recipes CLEANED from
friends or periodicals.
There are ten yellow index cards dividing
the collection in groups under ''soup."
meat" Salads" desserts" etc. A few
very simple recipes are printed under each
head. but the majority of the cards are
plain. They are kept in a strong little
case which is made to resemble a book.
other cases and more cards may be pur-
chased at any time TO match these, so that
when the brides treasures overflow ono
volume a second or q half dozen may be
added. The inventor and author Is Ruth
Alden.

THIEVING FRIENDS
Life q Constant Struggle
4 gUinSt Their EnCrOdChmentS.

"Ijfe," remarked a well-to-do New
york woman. tete.a -tete with a friend in
tearoom the other day. "is a ceaseless
struggle to protect ones possessions ana
ones time against the encroachments OF
thieves VINO apparently have no compuhc-
tion in robbing one. I refer TO perfectly
respectable thieves who appear IN lhe
guise of ones neighbors and associates
and are therefore perfectly impossible 10
deal with. You can't accuse the occupant
OF the country house next yours, who has
dined with you, of robbing you. And yet
that's precisely what some Of them do
ITS through my garden that l suffer
most-and poor old McGregor, my gardener
suffers more than /. That garden is the
pride of McGregor's heart, and to have
my alleged friends walk in in my absence
and strip plants of their choicest blooms
doing II often with roughness that mars
and sometimes kills the plant
surely no one does that" calculated the
friond on the other side Of the table.
oh don't they, though. You know l
cairo TO town early this year, going down
70 nv place for week-ends One lovely
Saturday in October / went down to find
McGregor weeping-absoutely weeping.
Four NJ my neighbors, women all, had
walked in upon him the day before. We're
lust going to look through the garden, Nc
GreEor' they told him. We want to see
your wonderful roses-perfectly marvellous
70 have roses blooming outdoors this time
OF the year Yes We know Mrs. NJ
isn't here, but she told us TO make our
selves at home in her garden. No. you
needn't come with us, McGregor; we know
Il the way
Well, what could McGregor do? He
was helpless, poor old fellow. He couldn't
insist on accompanying them and he
couldn't shut them out. After they had
gone he made a tour Of the garden. and
from four of the choicest plants they had
pulled flowers with a reckless abandon that
took long strips of the skin from the stalks
and left the poor plant bleeding its life
away as McGregor put it. They had also
bslped themselves to some Of my finest
chrysanthemums."
What horrible people! Surely, they were
exceptions-you don't find many so con-
scienceless," said the woman on the other
side of the table.
WELL" said the robbed one, grimly.
"those women have nice homes, go to
church every Sunday, and their husbands
are respected business men. They didn't
think they were doing wrong. I'm sure
they would have said. oh, Mrs, NJ
would give US these flowers If she were
here
"No, it's the prevalent American spirit.
For instance. you've no idea how many fine
furs. gloves, etc, and other things are lost
at hotel club meetings-women's clubs, I
mean. And how often does the finder turn
them in at the desk? In very few cases.
"As for the way bores rob one OF ones
time-but must not embark on that; It's
too depressing"

FOR THE TRAVELLER,

Among the little travelling accessories
recently given TO woman starting on

They were made of four thicknesses OF

old blue washable cotton. These dry more
quickly than the ordinary washcloth. ana
are therefore a great convenience TO tne
