OID-TIME TRAINING.

The education of my childhood was
embryonic. The education of today Is
exhaustive. The fact that the school
child of today does not seem to know
any more than we knew in the dark
ages is a side issue with which I have
no concern. But as 1 look back 1 can
now see plainly that the few things
little girls learned were admirably
adapted for one purpose, to make us
parts of whole, which whole was
the family. I do not mean that there
was any expression to this effect.
training for maternity" was an I'M
used phrase and the short views of
life, more common then than now,
would have robbed it of it's SAVIOR
Training for citizenship" had, so far
as we were concerned, no meaning
whatsoever. A little girl was a little
girl, not the future mother of the
race, nor the future saviour of the re-
public One thing at a time. There
fore no deep significance was attached
to our possession of a doll, no con-
Germ was evinced over our future
handling of a vote. If we were taught
to read aloud with correctness and
expression, to write notes with pro-
priety and grace, and to play back
CANNON and whist as we'll as our in
telligence permitted, 1t was in order
that we should practise these admir-
able accomplishments for the benefit
of the families of which we were USE

Would Have Black Eyelashes

Dear Miss Doom:
am very anxious to know how l
can make my eyelashes black, and
also would like to know of good
soap for the face. Hoping you will
answer my letter, MISS A. X.
Your letter is rather vague. Are
your lashes yellow, or brown, or
red? If they are light nothing short
of a dye will b1acken them, and l
would advise you emphatically not
to attempt to change their color.
Red vaseline, applied carefully to
the roots of the lashes (do not get
any in your eyes), will slightly
darken the lashes and promote their
growth.
There are several good soaps on
the market, but 1 cannot give the
names of proprietary articles in this
column.
Pure CASTLE soap is excellent.
The clearness of your skin will de-
pend largely upon the thoroughness
with which you rinse it, first in hot
and then in cold water, after 1t has
been washed with soap and hot
water.
A soothing lotion should then be
rubbed in, if the skin Is tender and
easily irritated.
Liquid green soap is good when
there are blackheads to contend
with.

OUR GRANDMOTHER MADE THEIR
OWN SOAP, AND THE LYE AS WELL.

Our grandmothers not only made
their own soap but the I've as well.
1t is not hard work and is one way of
saving. 1 save all fat; the clippings
from steaks, chops etc, go into an
empty lard pail; in another pail l
keep all fats taken from soups or fry
ing pan. The large pieces of fat Itry
out in the oven some time when 1t
is going slowly. When I have six
pounds of grease 1 make the soap;
this amount of grease and one can of
I've will make a dozen cakes of soap.
The I've comes in one pound cans at
10 cents a can. Buying by the dozen
makes 1t cheaper-one dollar and five
cents, and a dozen cans last me a
year. Five cents worth of ammonia
and a ten-cent box of borax is a
years ample supply of other ingredi-
ents. If perfumed soap Is desired
use one ounce of citronella to each
can of I've. 1t can be purchased at
any druggists for about ten cents an
ounce, says a writer in the Woman's
Home Companion.
To make soap: Empty the I've into
kettle containing one quart of
water, stir with a spoon or stick. The
I've will dissolve at once and become
smoking hot Be careful not to get

The demand for something new,
something different, allows of few
monotonous moments in the life of
a designer of women's clothes.
When drapery first came into vogue
it was comparatively easy to evolve
new designs, but again we are look
ing for something novel.
Premet is trying to rejuvenate the
hustle. A frock of hers in blue silk
poplin shows hustle effect brought
about by a clever cut and arrange
ment of drapery that is really quite
attractive. 1t is a three-p piece suit,
and an extremely smart little coat
is another feature. Several other
imported models give Indications of
the hustle, and several display
draped collars after the Japanese
style.
No. 8104 shows a draped collar and
shaped trimming bands on the skirt
that give the effect of a three-tiered
skirt. A soft green mohair is used,
with the blouse of chiffon in the
same shade of green. Each of the

BETTER ABROAD.

A few days ago L rode from New
York to Philadelphia on the "Pennsy."
Its directors advertise 1t as the
STANDARD railroad of America" That
invites comparison.
Not long since I rode second class"
in SwedeR from Gothenburg to Stock
holm. There is a saying in Europe
that nobody rides first class but fools
and Americans. This second-class
car was furnished, as regards uphol-
stery, as well as the Pennsylvania
car; its toilet closet was far superior
to the "Pennsy" car, and In add
ton there was a rack holding fifty
individual towels and fifty individual
cakes of soap, free to passengers.
The "Pennsy' car had neither towels
nor soap. The 800 miles to Stock
holm cost $4.35 Il lilo cents, plus, per
mile). The ninety miles from New

One of the greatest mistakes we
make in accepting this as an unkind
world is the belief that other people
have an easy time of 1t, with no cares
nor worries. We constantly tell our
selves what we would do If we had
so-and-so's money. The truth Is we
haven't any idea at all the trials OF
so-and-so. In the first place we don
know how much money he has nor
how many demands he has upon 1t.
We don't know how many poor hns-
folks he sends checks to, how many
escapades of black sheep in the fam
lily he has hushed up. We all mag
inc that our neighbors are worth more
than they are when we are not i'm
agining that they are worth less.
The world is full of surprises. The
"old iron" dealer who sleeps in the
loft of the livery stable is probably
worth a hundred thousand dollars,
while the exclusive and exquisite rich
old maids who live in the big brick
house and put forth every f1uttering
pennant of aristocracy may be dining
off poached egg six days of the week
and darning their hose in a manner

Stains and Rough Hands
w dear Miss Doom:

\ My dear Miss Doom:
Please let me know through you
valuable column in the Evening
Star what 1 can use to remove
a blood stain from seal brown chif-
fon broadcloth and from green
plush.
Also, what besides rose water,
mixed with glycerine. is used for
softening ones hands?
LUCILLE F.
Wet the spots with kerosene, then
wash in warm, not hot water; or
wash in soap and tepid water. After
you have cleaned the plush hold a
hot iron close to it mot on it,, so
that it will steam and the nap will
be raised.
The following lotion is excellent
for whitening the hands:
Strained honey, one ounce; lemon
juice, one ounce.
Mix and rub we'll into the hands
at night; then wear a pair of large
kid gloves, the palms split for ven
tilation.
There are many excellent lotions
on the market if you do not care for
the above.

Draped Models and Soft
Materials for Evening Wraps

Evening wraps are in broche mate
lasse. supple velvet. velours. satin, or
satin cloth.
The materials are very handsome
and the Innings are in contrasting col.
or, a pretty orange-colored velvet be-
ing lined with soft pink satin. per-
haps.
Then lowered patterns are often
used for Innings.
The models are loose and drapy un-
der the arms, as they should be SO
as not to crush the delicate blouse
underneath.
For this reason the dropped shoul-
der and the kimono sleeve are the fa-
vorite styles.
The short wrap reaching not even
to the knees is fashionable, and even
the longer ones are so rounded up in
front that they expose a good deal of
the dress in front.
A contrast between the wrap and
the gown is therefore very effective,
though where the material used for
the dress will permit of being used
for the wrap also, this Is often done.

Patent leather shoes may be kept
in good condition during the cold

This will keep the leather from

marriage license in Newark. Have
worked here for past year but my
fiance lives in New York.
Also, will I need any witnesses?
If 1 can get same, then could have
my marriage performed in New
York? MISS c.
When you and your fiance go for
the license you will have to take
one person who knows you both, or
a person to identify you and one to
identify your fiance.
The marriage license must be pro-
cured in the city in which the girl
lives, and the ceremony must fol-
low within twenty-four hours. Your
license will not be valid in New

WILL KINDNESS EVER
BE PRIZED ABOVE RICHES

The world just now is fast waking
to the knowledge that a lot of our
previously accepted conditions are
very inhuman. representing the acme
of unkindness. To have done some
thing really kind-not charitable. for
charity covereth multitude of sins
just as hypocrisy does-but to have
done something really kind Is now
becoming better esteemed in the
world, says the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. Whether kindness will some day
be priced above great riches, who can
say? But let us hope so-since we are
our aspirations and the things we set
our hearts upon shall be counted for
what they are worth in the final
reckoning" whether we accomplished
them or not.

on wood, it stains it. Let the I've cool,
and while cooling heat six pounds of
grease or tallow, free from salt, until
lukewarm. Then strain through a
fine sieve or colander with cheese
cloth over it. This will catch and
hold all heavy, dirty particles and
make a cleaner soap.
Now add to the grease two table,
spoonfuls of ammonia and one If

Then pour the lye slowly on the fat,
stirring constantly. After all the lye
is added stir until the mass Is thick

usually long enough. The soap is
then ready to turn into molds. I find
candy boxes handy receptacles, as
the sides can be broken off after the

when the soap is cold, a sharp knife
will easily bring out clean-cut pieces

How Much Do You Know
About Buying Meat2

1t Is not necessary to buy the most
expensive cuts of beef or other meat
in order to obtain the most delicious
and nutritious results.
Tenderloin of beef, for instance, the
most expensive and the tenderest cut
in the animal, is tasteless and has to
be treated with high seasonings and
squeezed juice from the round to
make 1t even palatable.
Neither the tenderloin nor the sir
loin is as juicy or nutritious as q
round steak, chuck steak or the ten
der little skirt steaks which the
butcher takes home usually for his
own delectation.
In using the cheaper, tougher cuts
of meat. long, slow cooking is an es-
sential, and the fireless cooker will be
found of distinct advantage in the
saving of fuel.

Are we kind to the little child that
claims our service? Are we truly
kind to the man we are married to-
to the woman we claimed by the
right of what men call love? Mans
love is likely to be intrinsically un-
kind, and husbands have way OF
asserting their rights to persistent
and habitual unkindness. The fam
lily has learned to understand"
father and to realize that "he doesn't
mean it," This is but poor way for
things to be adjusted. A better edu-
cation will save coming generations
from situations in which the boss"
has a right to be unkind!
And then how many wives presume
upon the sex charm to win their
husbands over, and practice sys-
tematic unkindness upon them! How
they sulk and complain and criti-
cize and nag-risking daily that most
precious thing, domestic felicity,
trusting to the least divine of all ties
of love to carry them through the
trials of married life!
