The secret of keeping white shoes in

4. the Rubber PASSING?

Less and less are women inclined TO
wear rubbers. Even the best OF the
latter detract from the spruce, correct
look Of the costume, and rubbers on
the feet make one feel as well as look
a bit clumsy. Women, moreover, have
so many pairs of boots nowadays in
comparison with the one or two pairs
that used to be deemed sufficient for a
season that the getting OF one pair
muddy or wet does not so much mat
ter. Tan boots are the accepted sort
for stormy day wear. and there Is a
new tan leather which neither mud,
slush nor wet will stain and which does
not acquire ugly black streaks across
the instep from the rubbing of wet
skirts. These boots may also be clean
ed with a sponge and ordinary soap
and water with no injury to color or
luster.

II: y RaspberrieS Are Here ". *

A s a breakfast fruit raspberries are
ideal. Having SO little acid, they
rank with sweet peaches and pears,
figs. bananas and sweet oranges. The
fruits with much acid in them should
not be served at the first meal of the
day, when cereals or other starchy food
plays such prominent part in the
menu, because acid retards the diges-
ton of starch.
For breakfast, raspberries can be
served cold and fresh with cream or
they can be daintily served in glass
dishes with a little strip poured over
them. To prepare them in this way
select plump. perfect berries and place
them in a china, glass or porcelain
dish. Make a strip of equal parts of
sugar and water boiled for ten minutes
and pour it hot over the berries. Put
them Immediately on ice and chill all
night.
Raspberries can also be prepared in
this way for luncheon and can be given
a more piquant flavor if stemmed cur
rants, half as many as the berries. are
added to them.
A hearty raspberry pudding, which is
wholesome enough for the children, is
made thus: Thicker a quart of hot
milk with a tablespoonful of flour rub
bed smooth in few spoonsfuls of cold
milk. Cook it for ten or fifteen min

The Old, Old
Servant Problem

ONE has felt for long time that the
last word has been spoken on the
ever recurrent servant question. Now
some brave homemaker has come for
ward to say that the housewife herself
is to blame for the domestic service
being in such disrepute among the
working classes.
The housemaid's lot in most cases 10
not an enviable one. She has to work
hard. gets very little praise and much
blame and is only in exceptional cases
tractive, and certainly her wage is not
high.
Consequently the nice. intelligent
girl thinks domestic service beneath
her, and It is only girls OF a secondary
order who preside over the average
kitchen. The peculiar part of the
problem is that never have conditions
been better for the servant in the
house. Take life in a fiat. The gas
stove does away with the hard work Of
coal stove, and there are no stairs to
climb in doing the housework.
Then, for the work itself, domestic
science has provided a number of la
Dor saving devices--the carpet sweep
er, for instance. and the vacuum and
suction sweepers. washing machines
and laundry appliances. In fact, there
are many inventions to do every part
OF the daily work to be mentioned here.
Yet all these aids do not seem to
keep a girl in a place more than a short
| while. Optimists, however, foresee
glorious changes ahead. Housework,
they say. is going to be dignified; it is
| to be treated scientifically. and moth
ers and daughters are going to take
care of their own homes. Servants
will rise to the standard of emulation,
and the position Of helper in the house,
hold will be- eagerly sought for where
the helper will be treated like human
being. 8
II sounds impossible. but the opti-
mist says it's coming, all the same.
The next generation will not have the
servant problem to swrestle with as the
present one has. 1t will solve itself,
and the intelligent working girl will
choose the home rather than the fac
tory.
