Love, in the ages grown so cold
Is still the one thing ever new.
The best of life is love, is love;
Let all else GO if that remains.

Home Interest Increasing In America.

Conducted by Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk.)
Home Interest Increasing In America.
Eagerness is a mild term for the
keen desire which women. whether
east, west, north or south, manifest
for every possible help pertaining to
domestic science. They are slowly
but surely awakening to the great re-
sponsibility which rests upon them in
buying and cooking for their families.
We can not even say directing it
DONE any more. when statistics tell
US that nearly 80 per cent Of the wo-
men in this country have no help in
their homes. They do their own buy
ing and cooking and they have come
70 a realizing sense that 1t is a most
honorable position to hold. and 1t Is up
70 them to know it better than ever be-
fore. Many members of audiences in
all the large cities where have talk
I'd have been women with 30 or 40
years Of experience but as hungry as
children to be shown the science of
foods and housekeeping. Again many
are the brides of a few months or a
sew years.
Now this is the best part Of it. Wo-
men are wanting help and they are
getting 1t wherever they can find it.
There is a happiness about it, a Joy in
It that is wonderful to see. They are
helpful to each other. Women who
have never seen each other in their
lives before quickly recognize common
interest and are helpfully. willingly
and cheerfully giving their experience
to others. and as they give SO they
receive.
I find also, with the vast army Of
women, that they are not specially
eager for demonstrations Of cooking
that is "fearfully and wonderfully
made" and SO intricate that not one
OF them could go home that night
and make one Of the dishes from
start to finish. But we do have COM
ing in every day samples Of bread.
cake and biscuits. for criticism. the
makers wishing to learn why it is
good or poor. and when wrong trying
again and again if necessary until they
have mastered it.
There is no such thing as luck in
cooking and now that women have be-
gun to realize 1t, that is one of the
reasons for their interest in a science
which is definite and worth while.
II there were some way to stop
newspaper and magazine articles
from harping on Homework as a
"monotonous grind" "drudgery," mar
rowing sphere" or other like terms.
which men would not think of allow
ing in connection with their business,
the coming generation Of young wo-
men would incline more readily toward
1t. It is natural for a woman to be
domestic and like the home and all
that goes with it. But this does not
hinder her from having many broaden
ing interests outside. It's good for her
and widens her viewpoint. She will
meet obstacles in the home and II she
is a live, bright, healthy woman they
will he met cheerfully and she Will
be all the stronger for having mastered
them.

Castor Feathers and King Blue Velvet,
There is nothing OF the ultra-fashion-
able to offend conservative tastes in this
becoming toque or hat Of King blue velvet
with castor colored plumes. This color
combination is much seen and Is both
pretty and becoming. As the sketch
shows, this nat has q rolling brim very
narrow and much resembling the lines Of
the brim on a mans derby. The crown
has apparently originally aspfred to be a
Tam" In shape but has grown a little too
tall to come under that classification. It
is held to the brim by a cord of the vel
vet. The two plumes are ~,aced in posi-
tons suggesting the Prince of Wales
crest.

There has appeared a new design for
a dainty lingerie set. the corset-cover and
pett1coat OF which have been sketched
here. These were made Of fine nainsook.
The same design has been kept in mind
for both articles and cleverly adapted to
both. In the corset-cover the waved line
in which the insertion of lace has been
inset is made to follow the scallops Of the
embroidery which finished the corsage

Is placed at the side of the skirt nounce

One of the seasons smartest tailor
mades appears in the drawing above.
This is made of mahogany whip-cord. The
jacket front Is on the cut-a-way style but
the bottom line of this suddenly turns and
mounts to above the waist line at the side
of the back, where it meets the straight
back breadth which falls to below the
hips. Two black silk ornaments are
placed at the Joining of side and back
portions and one of similar style closes
the front. The skirt laps well to the right
side beneath a sash end of the whipcOrd
decorated with the silk ornaments and
terminating in a sash end Of black satin,
fringed and falling to the skirt hem. The
rolling revers are also Of the Satin.
