ONE WHO DESERVES TBlB6TE
Stenoerapher, Hammering Out Dic4
tated Paragraphs, Times Her Eff
cheney to Our Limitations.

Who else knows us half so wellf
She has heard ali that we nave said
and then made notes of it. She has
read our incoming letters. She knows
who pleads with us for help and what
we do about it. Do we write frankly
or evasively, she follows the straight
hewed line or the curve of our devious7
ness. Are we courteous only to the
powerful, or is our treatment even to-
all who come seeking? The woman
at our elbow, hammering out our para
graphs, is clear eyed witness. Over
the telephone voices drift in from the
world and the tone of each is caught
and judged before our presence is
acknowledged. She knows whether
our friends are worthy. Is the home
happy? She knows it. She notes all
our tricks of person. Our good temper
our clean speech, fly further than we
guess. She is familiar with the stale
phrases we scatter over the thousand
routine letters, and is gladdened when
we light up the languid page with an
unspoiled turn. She is aware when
we have tumbled out from a laden
desk to worlds series ball game.
She, too, would enjoy great players
versatility, but she wades through our
debris till twilight. She could keep
our tardy correspondence up to the
minute, but she has to time her eff.
cheney to our limitations. Never out
pacing US, she is as loyal in the back
ground as our shadow. Golfers

Kissing in Public.

London is always alive with alien
customs. While American states are
passing laws against kissing in pub
lie there was an encounter the other
day in Regent street (quite proper and
continentaD which startled me for q
moment. A young man met thres
young women-brother and sisters
should say at hurried glance. The
young man took off his hat and plant.
ed kiss on both cheeks of each girl,
six kisses blocking the pavement traf-
fic Of Regent street, and wondered
what would happen If an English pub
lie school boys sister should attempt tc
kiss him in Regent street.-Londol

"A fathom," she said, "is nautical

How It Happened.

His wife had made a little quiet in.
vestiga ion of his coat
"Henry,' she said in no pleasant
tone, you never mailed the letter
gave you last week. / can feel it
right i'll the corner of your coat"
Her husband brought out the coat
in rather shame-faced way. There
was no doubt, the letter was just
where she said. Reaching into the in
sire pocket, he groped down and down
until he at last grasped the envelope.
Yes, my DEAR" he replied; you
see, it slipped down through the torn
lining you promised to sow up more
han d, month ago."

Killed the Play

The production in Paris of a new
version of the tragedy of "Sophonis-
ba' inevitably recalls curious piece
of theatrical history where single
line is said to have killed a whole
play.
On the first night of James Thomp-
sons "Sophonisba" one of the actors
had to declaim the somewhat idiotic
line: ooh, Sophonisba; Sophonisba,
OH"
Instantly a cutting voice from the
rather restless audience: ooh, Jimmy
Thompson; Jimmy Thompson, OH"
The laughter that followed complete.
ly broke up the seriousness of the eve
ning's entertainment.

Triumph of Russian Art.

Russian art has captured the world,
and today many influences are accept
ed from the Slavonic people. Not in
opera and dancing alone, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. do the subjects of the
Tsar excel, butalong centuries ago the
peasants IN remote and snow-bound
districts lad evolved art ideas for
themselves, and they worked away
quietly during the winter evenings

JACKET YOUR MILK CANS

1t has been found that milk that
has to sent only short distances or
preserved for only few hours should
maintain temperature of less than
so degrees. Even at these tempera-
lures some bacteria will multiply and
cause the souring of the milk, but the
increase is slow and during a few
hours no serious results will occur. A
temperature we'll below so degrees F.,
however, materially decreases the
rate of bacterial growth.
On the other hand, where milk is
to be shipped long distances, the in
itial temperature must be lower, as
suming that no provision is made for
maintaining the original temperature
during transportation. Where milk
is in transit for several hours, it is
necessary to cool it down to near the
freezing point. So soon as the milk
can, however, is exposed to air tenn
perature, and especially to the sun,
the temperature Of the milk begins to
rise rapidly, and every precaution
should be taken to keep it from being
raised by the outside heat.
A series Of experiments was re-
Gently made in shipping milk cooled
to 80 degrees. In these cases the cans
were set in an open truck with nc
covering to shield them from the di-
rect rays Of the sun. The milk was
hauled a. distance of 13 miles, and the
average temperature during the TRIP
was 1896 degrees. The experiment
showed that the cans that were hair.
quilt jacketed showed rise of only
5h degrees in three hours in the tenn.
perature of the milk. The cans thai
were wrapped with wet burlap show
ed a milk temperature Of 58hdegrees
in the same period, or a rise Of 8A
degrees. The milk in the unjacketet
cans rose in three hours to 781s de-
grees, or a rise of 28h degrees.
It is obvious from these figures
that it pays to jacket the cans in or
der to maintain low temperature
during transportation.

White Mourning a Late
Innovation for Young People

Chine and crepe chiffon. A waist of
black crepe de Chine is made with a
ch!enna.isctte CT net picot edged and
trimmed with picot edged frills Of the
crepe de Chine.
Georgette crepe in black or white is
used both for waists and for the soft
clinging type of gown. 1t is charming
trimmed with either faille, taffeta or
dull satin.
All costumes worn for first mourn
ing can be trimmed with crepe, and
white crepe is smart when used at the
neck for the collar or vest, and for
the cuffs as well.
For young people all white is being
used a great deal for mourning. 1t is
not as depressing as black and yet it
is just as much badge of sorrow.
All-white hats of lusterless taffeta
are trimmed with white crepe flowers,
or a small, close-ftting hat of white
has large Empress Eugene veil in
white precisely following the black
widows veil of the same name. This
style of veil is heavy and smothering
for very hot weather, although it is a
protection from kindly but curious
eyes. It is a large hemmed square Of
crepe with one corner rounded out to
fit the neck, finished with frill Of the
same. 1t is fastened around the neck
with the long point hanging down in
front and is then thrown over the
head and fastened securely to the
hat with pins. 1t is unusually grace
full and most becoming.
White chiffon cloth is used for the
dresser dresses. saw charming one
made of box-pleated chiffon cloth and
the skirt had box-pleated tunic with
a wide hem. Just above the hem was
an inset insertion of point-d'-esprit.
This frock was remarkable for its
charming inconspicuousness.
Sheer collars and cuffs of organdy
are accessories which may be used.
Hemstitched, or with hens fagoted,
they give finish and dainty touch,
which helps to take away the dreari-
ness of all black.
Collars and cuffs of organdy have
hens of black which are attached to
the collar by machine hemstitching.
The woman with little ingenuity
and time to spare can make many
variations of these dainty accessories.
Handkerchiefs are shown with hens
of black either half an inch or an
inch wide. Some have a second bor-
der on the inside Of black. It may be
merely pin stripe or it may be three
eights Of an inch.

In mourning, simplicity is the key
note Of good taste. The wardrobe
should be chosen for conservative
good style and inconspicuousness.
A mourning top-coat of heavy black
cloth with soft dull finish made into
one Of the smart loose cape coats so
much the rage, is most desirable. The
Oxford effects may be used for gen
eral wear. For suits, gabardine OF
serge with a dull finish is serviceable
and smart. Pure white or dull black
Innings should be used.
Soft faille silk with a dull luster is
used for the more dressy type Of suit
Ripple silk, which is heavy variety
of Canton silk may be used, also, for
this type of costume.

For an afternoon dress crepe de
Chine is most attractive and distinc-
tive. One charming feature of this
silk is that it may be self-trimmed,
and, if anything, this enhances its
beauty. All costumes worn for first
motirning may be combined with
crepe, But crepe should be used
sparingly, as too much is in poor
taste.
From among a number of mourning
dresses / picked out models for my
illustrations which are conservative
and stylish, both showing the attrac-
tive use of crepe and dull silk as a
trimming.
The first is of dull cire satin. At the
lower edge of the long tunic is a wide
band Of corded silk cut on the bias,
This same silk is used to edge the "
shaped opening of the overwaist
front and back. A long sleeved guimpe
of net is worn with this dress
whose most noticeable feature is its
stiffing standing frill of lace at the
neck. The plain hat is of cire satin
with trimming Of the corded silk and
of gathered maline.
Vole and net are two materials
widely used for Summer and Fall
dresses and for mourning, when vari-
ETY. is limited, it is very smart. My
second illustration shows a dress of
black voile. The skirt with triple cir
cular ruffes has a band Of crepe
edging each ruffle. The waist is made
with kimono-cut sleeves having a cir
cular cuff which is also trimmed with
a band Of crepe as is the front Of the
voile waist. The chimisette and COL
lar are Of black net over white and
hemstitched. A wide girdle of crepe
which buttons down the front COM
pletes the costume.
A charming dress Of net is made
with waist in bolero, effect. Around
the edges Of this bolero, which extends
to the shoulder and underarm seams
only, is a ball fringe Of dull black
wooden beads. In the corners of the
bolero are beaded motifs in very fine
dull black beads.
Chiffon cloth is widely used for
mourning waists and lends itself
charmingly to the simple shirrings.
Black pOint-d'-esprit is combined with
net in many ways and makes a great
er variety possible.
Dull satin with the waxed finish is
used for waists as well ~ crepe de

In mourning very little jewelry is
worn, and that must be the simplest
of the simple. Pearly and dull jet are
combined into artistic little pins and
necklaces. Dull black enamel pins are
also used.
Hens of ruffles and Of dresses are
hemstitched or are finished with a
picot edging, which is merely having
piece of the material hemstitched,
then cut down the center Of the hem
stitching; this leaves picot edging
on either side.
Shoes should be worn Of dull black
kid. The low shoe should have a dull
kid buckle while fiat button Of jet IL
correct.
Gloves, Of course, are always black.
