would rather stay at home, eat when
 they are not hungry and drink when they are not thirsty; she invades their pleas
 ures and interrupts their business; she compells them to dress gaily either upon
 their own property or that of others; she makes them through life seek rest on a couch of anxiety and leaves them in an hour of desolation on a bed of thorns.
 Now that is fashion according to fem mine wit, fashion in it's broad sense. In my own opinion, however subservlence to fashion in the matter of dress is a Very pleasant service, and one which gives a woman more satisfaction than any one of the relaxations which she permits her self.''
 And just here the strangest thing hap pened. As Mime. Backer was delivering this dictum of Mrs. Balfoufs, my eye chanced to rest upon an opened magazine -Colliers-on the table at my side, and l found an answer to a sub-consclous thought: Are women any more subser- vient to fashions demands than menY Maybe they are, but see the comment on the hard boiled hat which the modiste was smiling over as left her:
 Why must woman bear most of the burden for slavery to dress when man certainly has no more freedom than she? This could be illustrated in number of different ways including collars that choke and are too easily soiled. but what is really in our mind is the hair and brain and comfort destroying derby. It. makes the head look like a peanut. It is worn in the spring long after the owner longs for the straw hat. and in the autumn when he wishes to continue with the straw. and in the winter when he desires a comfortable pleasant, soft, warm GOV ering. Perhaps the cap is gaining a lit- tie in popularity, and also the soft felt, but the progress is not enough to be no- ticeabe For what progress there Is we can probably thank the automobile. We certainly cannot thank the intelligence of men"

HOUSEHOLD TALKS.

(By Henrietta D. Grauel. Domestic
Science Lecturer.)
] started after the recipe of Senator
Hanna's Irish Maggie's famous hash.
knowing the traditional good will of
the Hanna family and meaning to pass
it on to the readers of this column.
But this was one time when a woman
could and did keep a secret. She new
er told how she made her hash.
The dramatic editor who told US
how good the hash was, gave as a
token of his admiration for this de-
partment his rector's recipe for cook
ing ham. We have tried it and if the
hash is any better than this we are
willing to share his rectors cooking
from now on.
Place says the versatile gentle
man, "a slice of sugar cured ham, some
three inches thick, in a dripping pan
Dredge quickly with dry English
mustard, sprinkle on a little pepper
and add enough milk to come to the
top of the slice of meat but not to
cover it.
Put in oven to simmer gently for
forty minutes. Dish the ham on a
hot, deep platter. Thicker the mix
ture in the dripping pan with little
flour moistened to a smooth paste
with cream. Pour this rich spicy
gravy over the ham and serve imme-
diately.''
May Irwin has a recipe that she
calls The ham what am" that is a
trifle similar to the rector's recipe,
but it does not sound quite as tempt
ing, because, try as we will, it is i'm
possible for us to mention a sand
witch in any form without conjuring
to our minds eye visions of the chok-
ingly dry ones handed to hapless
travellers at our way stations.
However, May Twins name is
synonymous with good eating. Pare
the crust from a loaf of rot too fresh
bread and cut the loaf into thin
slices. Toast and butter them thick
" and spread with minced hot ham,
