studied her daughters face. Mrs.
Bentham was an old-fashicned wo-
man Her daughter Louise had al
ways been a shock to her. Since her
graduation from college and her mar
riage to John Averill she had deve-
loped ideas that Mrs. Bentham could
not grasp.
Louis was certainly a new-fashion-
ed woman, thought Mrs. Bentham,
and sighed. However shocking,
Louises ideas had been to her
mother, Mrs. Bentham could not
deny but that they were practical.
and if she had only been a man in
stead of a woman, she would have
been called smart and progressive"
When Louise Bentham graduated
from college, her marriage to young
John Averill quickly followed For
two years she enjoyed life of
wealth and luxury, with a beautiful
home. Then came the explosion at
the mills, in which her husband was
killed, and the absorption of the
Averill fortune, and now Louise
Averill found herself back in her
mothers home facing the problem of
earning a living for herself and little
daughter.
She had thought Of many things
she could do to earn a living, but
among them one had recurred again

The family doctor encouraged her.
He had many women patients who
would be glad to trust themselves TO
Mrs. Averill's care for two hours or
more daily.
Mrs. Bentham, however, was OBJ
stinate. 1t seemed to her a terrible
thing for her handsome, capable
daughter to become a chauffeur,
and she used all The arguments at
her command against the plan, but to
all of them Louise would only reply,
"Woman's work is always dignifed
by the spirit behind it," When Mrs.
Averill advertised in the Want Ads
that she had big limousine which
she wished to exchange for an cleo
tric car more suited to her purpose,
she was amazed at the answers she
received. Her keen business sense
told her at once that the Want Ads

The lovely soft taffetas. which ar

FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

Girls of all ages like kimonos ana
this one is suited to their needs from
the time they can toddle until they are
well advanced. 1t is full enough to be
comfortable yet it takes straight, pref
ty lines. 1t is not difficult to make
and il is appropriate for variety of
materials. When it is cut short, it be-
comes a convenient little sacque, and
sacques and kimonos fill such differ
ent needs that every girl will want one
of each. At is shown here, it is made
from pretty lowered challis and is
trimmed with washable silk but girls
kimonos are frequently made from
lawn, from the crepe that shows such
attractive flower d signs, from alba
tross and even from cashmere and
flannel for the cooler weather. Every
thing fowered and brocaded is fash
Iionable this season and one of brocad-
ed silk and cotton mixtures would
make very dainty little garment
If something really handsome is want

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

When making apple jelly, put rose
geranium leaf in the bottom of each
glass before pouring in the jelly. 1t
will impart delicious flavor.
When running dates, figs or raisins
through the chopper. and few drops
of lemon juice to prevent the fruit
from clogging the chopper.
1t is a good idea when cleaning milk
utensils, to add pinch of borax to
the water. This keeps them sweet
and clean.
To make salmon sandwiches,
squeeze a little lemon over the fish.
add salt and pepper, well-beaten
egg and melted butter, then stir the
mixture well together
Satin washes very we'll if properly
done. Make a suds of warm water
and soap. Wash the articles in this,
then rinse in clear, cold water and
iron when dry on the wrong side.
Before washing soiled handker-
chiefs, allow them 10 soak in cold wa
ter into which has been put hand
full or so of salt. This makes them
much easier to wash.
To remove paint from windows, try
moistening the edge of a silver coin
and rubbing the spot of paint. You
will find the paint will disappear like
magic.
If you would have your gems bake
nicely, leave one Of the cups empty
and fill it with water. The gems
will not scorch when this method is
followed, but will brown nicely.
Wax candles which have become
mdusty or soiled can be made perfectly
white by rubbing them with clean
piece of flannel dipped in spirits of
wine.
If by accident you have made a mis-
take in marking linen place the
article Immediately in cold water TO
which a little lemon juice has been
added. Let this soak for about fif-
teen minutes, then soap the stained
part and rinse.
Very good doughnuts can be made
from sour milk. Take three-fourths
cup sugar, one egg, one teaspoontul
melted lard, one-half cup sour milk,
saltspoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of
soda. a little cinnamon and nutmeg,
RRE1A'-Rf
Light-colored slippers can be clean
ed by taking a piece of clean white
flannel, dip this in methylated spirits
and rub the slippers all over being
careful to rub the way of the satin
Do not rub them with any part of
the flannel which has become soiled.
Bread should be removed from the
tins as soon as baked and cooled in
fresh air uncovered. When cool, it
should be kept in a tightly covered
tin box or stone jar The bread box
should be scalded and dried in the
sunshine at least once week. A
cloth should not be kept in the bread
box.
A sponge which has become slight
ly Shiny in the middle can be cleaned
by having the juice Of a lemon we'll
rubbed into it, Let 1t remain with
the lemon juice in it for a quarter Of
an hour; rinse it several times in
clean warm water, then in cold, and
let it become quite dry all through be-
fore using It again.

DAMP, DARK DAYS.
And Their Depressing Effects Upon the
Human System.

And Their Depressing Effects Upon the
Human System.
Next time it is a dark, dreary day
and you are sure that you have some
really terrible ailment don't worry
Just cheer up and realize that there is
nothing the matter with you except
that the weather is damp, and the first
sunny day will be sure to set you right.
At least this is the opinion of DR..
Rankin, a London physician. who has
been giving lectures on the subject of
health and happiness. He attributes
most of the ordinary woes of humanity
TO the damp weather and explains his
theory scientifically.
I'm damp weather." he says, "the
skin does not perform its functions
properly. Products which should be
thrown off in perspiration remain and
clog the skin. Under ordinary circum'
stances in a normal temperature the
amount of vapor passing from the skin
/ reaches thirty ounces per day. In
moist air the amount passing out from
the skin is reduced to seven or eight
\ ounces.
"As perspiration contains poisonou:
| properties. it is not surprising thai
during damp weather these poisonous
properties which are retained in the
body lower the vitality and produces
various temporary ailments"
So it's really comfort to know tina
when we do not feel "weil' in damn
weather it is no sign of constitutions
I'll health, but just the weather.-Sai
