we're taught how to take care of
themselves, their homes and their
babies.
Women's most important work is
the care of children. 1t is necessary
that babies shall be sound and
healthy if they are to grow up into
happy and useful citizens. Most
girls, unfortunately, are married
without any knowledge whatever of
the business of motherhood. What
the Matrimonial College tries to do
is to teach this.
A strong man is likely as not to
marry a weak woman. Her very
weakness appeals to his strength.
But it is otherwise with women.
Every woman wants a sturdy man
for a husband, and the sort of in
struction given at this school i'm

Common Problems of American
Cities was the subject of the lee
ture given last night by the Rev.
Caroline Bartlette Crane, of Kala-
mazoo, Mich, under the auspices of
the Contemporary at Wallace Hall.
There was a large attendance.
Mrs. Crane. who is a municipal
expert in Kalamazoo, outlined to her
hearers the success that has attended
her efforts in her home city in
municipal housekeeping. She de-
seribed how she had organized the
Civic Improvement League in Kala-
mazoo and how through that medium
she had inspected back yards and
photographed them. With these pho
tographs and important data she
gave many lectures and showed the
public the unhealthful and disgrace
full condition of their city. It did not
take long to arouse the people to
civic pride and soon the back yards
and lots of the city began to take ON
a new and clean appearance. Conse-
ouently it was not long before kala
mazoo became known as "Spotless
Town and as such it has been known
since
Mrs. Crane also described how,
prior to her general cleanup of the
city. she had started in similar lines
as early as 1896 in forming classes
in marketing and housekeeping.
cooking, nursing and sewing. The
city has since Incorporated similar
classes in the regular public school
course, which have proved very sue
cessful.
In view of the extraordinary sue
cess these classes and cleanup sys-
tenn has met with in Kalamazoo.
Mrs. Crane advocated the starting of
a similar "spotless'' crusade In this
city and in other cities and the form
ing of sewing. nursing, cooking,
housekeeping and marketing classes
in the schools and also outside the
schools among individuals. 1t would
not take long to clean up a city, she
remarked, and when it was finally
put to rights the people would appre-
ciate their spotless town and help
to keep it clean.
Mrs. Crane handled her subjects
with mastery hand that proclaimed
herself to be devoted and an expert
in like problems. After listening to
her talk last night those present did
not wonder that she is looked upon
as "the most expert housecleaner In
the country"

pares Pupils for Wifehood
and Motherhood. 91af

In Denton, Tex, there is a school
which is destined to become famous.
Its pupils are young women exclu-
sively, numbering about 400, and re-
Gently it has come to be known as
Matrimonial College, for the reason
that it makes a speciality of teach
ing what might be called the art of
marriage.
One department of the college is
devoted to the preparation of girls
for wifehood. They enter at Is to Is
years old, and are instructed In
housekeeping, in physiology and in
the business of picking a husband.
The girls are taught that pros
pective husband is to be regarded
not merely as a mate, but as an an
cestor of generations yet to be. 1t
follows that no man who is not fit 10
be an ancestor is fit to be husband.
A man should be able to show
physicians certificate guaranteeing
him to be sound physically.
This department has existed for
only a few years. Up TO last October
twenty-nine children had been born
to graduates of it, According to gen.
eral mortality averages, four of these

P-TO-DATE HOSIERY

The new stocking is nothing if not
sensational. The rank and file took
to wearing sheer black silk hosiery
which appeared in the department
stores at popular priees-and horri-
bly, sleazy weaves, reinforced half
way up the leg with cotton-and fash
ionable women demanded something
different. The shaded silk stocking
is a patriclan affair not to be had
under SO or 81 the pair. The darkest
part Of the stocking is at the foot,
the color gradually shading to a
lighter tint until at the top of the
stocking it reaches a very dainty
pastel tone. Taupe and gray silk
are the exclusive favorites
just now and these-in the shaded
style-are worn with buttoned boots
of patent leather with taupe or gray
suede tops The street boot of or
binary black patent leather and dull
calf demands a black silk stocking
and the tan silk hose must accom-
pany the smart walking boot of tan
leather.

sacrifice, which must be equalized by
the advanced price in the sirloin and
porterhouse cuts.
Women demand these tender cuts
because they, do not know how to
cook any other kind of meat and be-
cause they can be cooked with less
trouble. The cheaper cuts are more
nutritious and possess better flavor,
but they need the right treatment to
make them tender This incessant
demand of tender cuts of meats by
the housewife is one of the chief
things that make high prices.
Whenever | hear a woman make
the remark l have quoted above I
know she is either a very mex
perienced housekeeper or a very bad
one. And 1 am sure that someone
in the family makes a great fuss over
the high cost of living without know
ing that costs could be reduced right
in his own kitchen.
Beef taken from a cheaper cut
should be served often, leaving
higher priced cuts for high days
and holidays"
All they need is proper treatment
to make them tender, and to prove it
I want to tell the housewife who
thinks nothing but porterhouse good
enough for her family that in first
class restaurants at least a dozen
dishes costing from so cents to 81 an
order and bearing strange foreign
names and tasting deliciously are
nothing but fancy hashes or fancy
stews in plain English and are made
from the cheapest cuts of meat
Here are some high-class CHEAP
Dishes"
Short Ribs of Beef.
When carefully prepared this dish
is, as the saying goes, fit for a
king" 1t can be prepared in many
different styles which differ only in
the furnishings. I describe below the
fundamental preparation.
Have your butcher cut the short
ribs two and one-half inches wide.
Proceed to boil as for chuck, only
giving three quarters of an hour
cooking. Drain we'll, scar in hot
drippings to golden brown, set in
an earthen pot with the vegetables
and put to cook in the oven with the
vegetables around. Don't forget the
bay leaf, pepper corn and cloves as
they give the necessary aroma.
Moisten with broth every once in a
while. When nearly done add some
small raw potatoes so they will brown
with the short ribs.
Chuck Pot Roast.
This dish will give good satisfaction
if the recipe is followed with care.
Have your butcher cut chunk of
a shoulder and remove the bone. Do
not have this too small, as a pot
roast should always be of size. Fry
it in beef or pork drippings in deep
earthen, iron or granite pan. When
brown add to four-pound pot roast

JEWELED HEELS

Only a very short time ago jeweled
heels were novelty that were
scarcely seen except on the stage.
But now the shops have quite as
large an assortment of heels as they
have of buckles-heels of every de-
scription, which are purchased sepa-
rately and placed on the slipper. Many
are boxed like pieces of jewelry to
send as gifts.
For the bride are white enamel
heels, beautifully studded in bril-
liants, and for bronze slippers come
heels to match the bronze buckles.
Skeleton heels of cut steel to cor
respond with the buckles can be
fastened to the heel of any slipper.
They are Sc each, and small steel
screws are supplied to secure them
TO the shoe. Every color satin to
match the popular evening shades
are beautifully studded in jewels or
metal framework, and as for models
for black slippers. they are too nu-
merous to describe.

A SMART SPRING COAT
By May Manton.

A new coat suit is one of the neees-
stiles of the spring wardrobe and so
new models are likely TO find a well
come. The coat illustrated is unusu-
ally smart and pretty and is well
adapted to any suiting material.
Ratine is among the most fashionable
of the new materials and it would be
excellent for this model either in wool
or in cotton. The making of the coat
is not at all difficult and the home
dressmaker need not hesitate to I'M
dertake it. Owing to the number of
seams it is easy to fit. The back can
be made fancy by tapping the upper
portion of the centre back over the
lower or the two can be cut together.
The little extensions on the fronts can
be cut off if they are not liked The
cutaway fronts are extremely jaunty
and youthful in effect, but if for any
reason they are not wanted the fronts
can be made straight. On the figure
pretty turned back cuffs are shown,
but the lower edges of the sleeves
can be finished with simple stitching.
The sleeves are the regulation sort,
cut in two portions each
For the medium size the coat viii

yards SO or "a yards "A or 81 inches
wide with Il yard of velvet for the
collar.

ment of this paper on receipt Of ten

can be classed as choice cuts?
Did you know that so many people

offset the loss which he must sustain
from the great surplus of cheaper
stuff that ofttimes has to be thrown
