HINTS FOR TIE HOUSEWIFE
Tired Feet


"My feet are nearly killing me-"
complained a lady, and we did not
wonder when we looked at her shoes.
They we're rundown at the heel; had
a hole worn almost through the sole,
making an uneven surface to walk on,
and could not be expected to give
comfort. 1t is poor economy to wear
old shoes about the housework. If
your feet are calloused, hot and
swoolen, it takes twice as long to do
your work. Comfortable house shoes
can be bought which are inexpensive.
Have more than one pair of shoes,
change often, and keep your feet in
good condition. If you are coming to
the fair bring along a change or so
of shoes and plenty OF stockings. You
can see only as much as your feet will
let you
1t pays to take time from work
during the day to battle the feet in
hot or cold soda water. as feels best.
If the toes scald where they touch,
put bit of absorbent cotton between
them. Talcum powder sprinkled into
the soles of the shoes will work into
the feet and give comfort.
Badly fitting shoes will deform the
foot, and by preventing the develop
ment of the cords and tendons which
preserve the arch OF the instep will
permit the instep to sag, producing
what is called fiat foot" The condi-
ton is very painful. and prevents
walking with comfort. The right kind
of a shoe should have the inside line
nearly straight. the toes should be
sufficiently wide. and the sole flexible
Changing shoes rests the feet; patent
leather shoes are warmer than tan
shoes which. because they reflect the
heat, are cooler for summer wear.

How a Hookworm victim Talks


1t Is not very hard to recognize a
sufferer from hookworm disease. Not
only is he pallld and emaciated, but
ever his style of speech is affected by
the mental enervation that accom-
panies the malady. Mr.. Walter Fl.
Page in the Worlds Work for Sep
TENDER gives the following dialogue
between a Porto Rican and a physi-
ciat
What Is your name?
Umph?
say, what Is your name?
What Is my name?
Yes. what is your namep
Juanna.
Juanna what?
Juana Maldonada.
What Is the matter with you?
What Is the matter with me?
Yes; what Is the matter with you !?
i get tired.
Where do you liver
Who'll? e L pa
Yes; you. where do you live?
Over there (pointing toward the
mountains,)
In what barrio7
In what barrie?
Yes, in what barrio?
Ell Aoneaute.
This man was not stupid; after he
was cured he answered all such
questions promptly and intelligently.
Mr.. Page thinks that the hookworm
is responsible for nine tenths OF the
apparent laziness. stupidity, and de-
generacy of the poor whites" of the
South.

Rose Perfume From Paraffin

Paraffin does not figure in the cate
sory Of perfumes, but recent investi-
cations show that it may figure in the
category of odors. However absurd
It may seem, it Is certain that essence
of rose may be manufactured from
it. The profits offered by this indus
try are evident at once, if one con-
siders that the pure essence of roses
is sold at 40 cents a drop for the best
AS the essence is fully as popular as
It is expensive, the majority Of the
preparations that are sold in the name
of "essence of roses" are nothing but
limitations, and not always good ones
The latest product was discovered by
accident on the congealing of paraf1n
with liquid air. As the paraff1n solidi-
fed it was observed that there foated
over it's surface an unknown liquid
containing a new perfume. This per-
fume, when refined was to all intents
and purposes Essence of roses" Be-
sides the essence of roses. other per
fumes have been obtained by special
process.-Harper's Weekly.

HAVE MANY ExAcTlNG DUTIES
6ociai Secretaries at Washington Kept
Busy Looking After Their En-
ployer'o Various Calls.

Few persons realize what q promi-
nent part In the social life Of Wash
ington Is played by the so-called 80
c1al secretary" The qualifications of
the daily etiquette of official life in the
capital are very complicated, and
| tnere are many pitfalls for the IN
wary, so that, even though a woman
may have been quite familiar with tho
soclal usages of some big metropolis
and entirely TO the manner born" yet
when she comes to Washington IL is
generally necessary for her to have a
secretary, even though the secretary
does nothing whatever but protect her
| from encroaching undesirables, those
countless hangers-on in political life
! who have either some personal az to
grind or who are seeking favors from
the wives Of power welding husbands.
A woman's success in Washington
depends upon many things. She must
have tact to begin with, a nice judg-
ment, much diplomacy and poise, a
! great deal of executive ability, and an
extremely. intimate knowledge of
who's who. It is in the pointing out
! OF who's who that the social secretary
| is SO particularly useful.
Official life in Washington is ex-
tremely exacting, so that a woman
! newly arrived upon the scene really
needs the assistance OF some one who
has spent an entire life there and who
really knows. For this reason social
secretaries in the capital are nearly
| always chosen from among the daugh-
ters OF the old and distinguished fam
lilies. 1t is never difficult to find some
member Of an old family who Is not
averse to increasing her income in
this manner. The position, however,
Is no s1necure, as the girl must not
only know every detail Of the compli-
Gated rules of social procedure In
Washington, but also the varying
shades of social preferment. In
Washington the social secretary en-
joys undisputed social position. She
does not lose her prestige when she
becomes secretary, as she usually
does In England.
The social secretary in Washington
has her hands full Her duties are
| many and her occupations extremely
varied, for not only is she obliged to
look after the purely social end of the
little game by directing her patron in
the acceptance or refusal of certain in
vltations, the writing of notes. the
placing of guests at dinners, and the
! like, but, what is more to the point,
she acts as sort of intelligence bu-
reau for her employer. Presumably,
! the lady is too busy to do anything
, for herself, so the secretary reads the
papers, the new books. and the like,
goes to the concerts and hears the
/ new singers or attends the theater
! and studies the new plays. Then she
tells her employer all about these
things, so that the busy lady may be-
come entirely all courant with the
topics of the times.

When Women Were Supreme.

Professor Hugo Munsterberg writes
that the women of Germany once &C.
cupied much higher status than they
do now and that the feminine move
ment in Germany is an effort to recov-
or lost ground. In medieval Germany
every cultural interest was left to
the women and to the church, and
men considered 1t unmanly to learn
anything from books. In the sixteenth
century the German woman was con-
sidered to be decidedly the equal Of
man and not until the seventeenth cen
fury did she begin to lose ground be-
fore the educational rivalry Of The
other sex.
