The New Year

The girl who takes an inventory. as 1t
were. OF the years success or failure,
win begin to think about her New Years
resolutions. This Is the time when every
body makes heroic and noble vows which
they chserfully break at the first occasion
that calls for the keeping OF them. Then
women are branded az ficlxls. This 10 not
wholly true. The fault lies in the resoiu-
tlon, not In the woman who makes IT.
There Is no use deciding on heroies in
these sordid days Of commercialism. The
age OF ehiyzlry is past. on the mems part.
but only because the women have taken
that burden upon themselves. Never be-
fore have women been so kind 10 women.
II will be worth while for you to remem-
ber this fact when you are ''resolutinsH
on New Years day.
Just make up your mind 10 be a bit
more cOnslderate of others. 20 recognize
their right 10 an opinion, Then when you
can't agree with Mrs. Carter. you can
disagree amieably, anyhow. Try to re-
member that TO err Is human"-the
saying Is an old one and very much over
looked. And the corresponding line Is, ito

In the Kitchen

DO you take the proper care of your
kitchen3 Many good housekeeper has
learned all about the best way to cook,
and how to favor every dish correctly,
and stu Is ignorant OF the most ele-
1nentary things about the kitchen. For
instance. how many times do you take
out pan and fnd 1t is all greasy on
the bottom7 You should never use a
greasy dish In any case. The best way
to prevent this is to put the pan over
the firo for little while. with bit of
water in It Leave 1t until the water
boils
Another good way is to put the pans in
q dish of hot water. II the grease is
thick, wipe It off with soft paper. and
allow the pan to remain in the water
until the rest of the grease has disap-
naared. The dishes which are soiled by
food material should be carefully
scraped. Then they should be put in
cold water TO remove the remaining
particles OF food. All pans containing
liquids should be emptied through the
sinlk-strainer. The efficient housekeeper
will have two garbage cans, one for the
wet garbage and another for the dry
refuse.
Never leave your sugar, butter. or
vegetables uncovered whllo you are cook
ing. They are liable to accumulate dust
and germs. sven in a few hours. Keep
your ingredients covered as we'll as pos
aible; the glass jar is best IL you keep the
tin covers tightly on. Return each article
to the icebox or cupboard as soon as you
have finished using It,
The refrigerator should be secured
with hot water and soda not less than
once a week. All odors will disappear
II you place a small piece of charcoal in
each corner.

Modes of the Hour

One of the prettiest fashions that the
season has brought forth is the three
piece set, toque, neckpiece and mum, OF
fur and velvet, or fur and satin or silk
There is no end to the possibilities in
the creation OF all three. There is white.
black, brown and gray fur to start with;
the silk or velvet may be Of the most
brilliant hue or black, and they may be
really simple in design or most elaborate,
What they must certainly, have Is the
"te ne sails ouo," as the French describe
It; the air. the touch, that all clothes
must have to look fashionable, and with
out which they inevitably have the pro-
yincIal quality of the country dress
maker.
Three of these little sets are sketched
today.
The one at tho left of the picture is
made OF monkey fur in combination with
black velvet,
The muff is batrel-shape and very
small. The little Cossack hat has vel
vet crown with wide fur brim, and the
burnt ostrich fantasy is fastened by
silver rose.
The silver rose is the piece de resist
ance of the tour de con, which fits the
throat snugly and gives the velvet quill
ing very little chance to be seen,
A set in beaver is sketched at the right
Here the muff is distinctly melon
shape; the neckpiece slips through band
of itself with a scarf end, and the toque
of cream-c colored felt has band OF the
beaver on it's slightly fiaring brim and
balls of the fur as ornaments.
The third set Is a combination OF mink
and brown velvet. The little hat reverses
the usual order and has crown or the
fur and a brim of the velvet, the tour de
con has q plated bow of velvet at the
back, while very wide plated ruffle OF
the velvet is placed at the sides of the
mum.
Although these three-piece sets are very
fashionable and distinctly a mode that
any one can adopt safely, yet they have
the charm to the woman of limited means
of being very inexpensive.
In many instances the FUR approaches
the position of a minus quality, there Is
so very little of It, and nun and furbelows
and frills OF chiffon and silk and velvet,
even maline II you like, are, In spite OF
appearances, tho substantial part OF the
whole,
The nat ostrich feather trimming. un-
curled, can be put to this use most ef-
fectively In combination with satin ribbon.
Dark blue, the midnight tone, ostrich
feather and ribbon exactly matching
make the prettiest kinds of things-muffs
of the biJou variety, neckpieces that are
extremely fetching and toques or turbans
that look theatrical even when worn by
the most demure of damsels.

Wimberley, who had pushed his way
through the crowd to his sisters side,
But, I call it-now, the pantomime-
hello, there's old Stinks."
"GuyI said Lady Joan sharply. you
mustn't talk like that. What are you
thinking about?"
"Old Vertigan-stinks master at Harp

Vertigan turned and smiled Wimberley

in the short time at their disposal. Then
the car was to drop the Wimberleys at
Grosvenor street and take the Trayerses
on to West Kensington.
Once more the young bank clerk found
himself by the side OF Lady Joan, on one
of the little seats that folded up when
they were not required. tThe three elder

lence and light that faded swiftly into
darkness.
When James Travers came to his senses
he found himself in a room that was not
his own-a room with bare white walls
and very little furniture, and what seemed
to Travers an extraordinary amount of
light. His mother was seated by his side
and a nurse In blue linen dress was
standing at the foot of the bed.
Where am II" he whispered feebly.
Mrs. Travers, her eyes full of tears, bent
over him and kissed him passionately.
You are in the hospital, darling" she
said. There was an accident-you were
hurt-but you mustn't talk about 1t now
you'll be quite well-in few days."
He closed his eyes, trying to remember.
Then he tried to move his right arm, and,
finding he could not do so, looked up at
his mothers face. tT
What has happened2" he whispered.
MY arm?"
Yes, dear. you hurt it-it went right
through the glass-you must not try to
move it for little while"
Ah' the glass;" he said slowly. 'Yes-
remember-Lady Joan-was she hurt,

What Attracts Usp

How curious 1t is to reflect upon the
attraction that one person has for an
other II one studies the engaged cou-
pies one knows, one is bound to confess
that in many instances 1t is odd how they
ever found anything In each other.
Yet in every case there has been a
charm in both the engaged ones that is
not noticeable by any one but tho two
concerned. 1t is 80 true that no ono can
love unless there is something lovable
in the object adored.
The plainest of appearances does not
matter: there Is such a tender heart be-
meath the ordinary exterior. The quiet
little ''mouse" of girl is far from be-
ing stupid; she is to her sweetheart the
sunnlest and the wittiest of companions,
but 1t is for him alone that she shines.
The spark of beauty and of the divine
shines deep in all of us, but often it is
only the eye of love that detects It, There
fore, to learn the secret we must look at
our friends with the kind and piercing
gaze of affection. We shall indeed be re-
warded for SO doing.

1t is much more economical today TO
buy sheets ready trimmed than 1t is to
try to make them at home, unless the
woman's time has no cash value. The
cost of tho hernmed sheet IL almost iden-
teal with the cost of the necessary sheet
ing by tho bolt. OF course, the upper
hem should be three inches and the lower
one inch wide. Large sheets mean extra
laundering labor, too narrow sheets mean
discomfort and nonprotection of the mat
tress A good rule to remember is to
have the sheet with ar overhang of JS
inches on each side. plus the width Of the
mattress. That is, for A2-inch mattress
each sheet should be "a inches wide. This
allows a generous tuolS-in, and no greater
mistake can bo made than TO purchase
narrow sheets from a supposed point of
economy.
Another IDEA that can have holes
prioked In 1t Is that the "unblea cied"
sheets wear longer. They look 30 unat-
traotive ell during the period when they
nre worn and never iron as smoothly as

The Mischievous Third

Nine-tenths of the auarrels betwecA
lovers is due to jealousy, brought ebeut.
often unconsciounly, by third person.
In most cases the engaged girl 10 the tzn-
happy one, and some other girl the cauaa
of the quarrel.
II is absurd for any girl to expect hes
fiance to cut himself OF from society of
all girls but herself. When she has
promised to become his wife. she hns
formally announced her willingness TO
love and trust him, and every time that
she resents his notice of other girls she
proclaims to all that her trustfulness was
but pretense.
What is the trouble when you are jeal-
Gus of that other girl? You fear, per-
haps, that the affections of your fiance
will be transferred to her. your engage
ment broken. Well, IL 1t happened It
would indeed be a terrible calamity, but
believe that 1t won't happen. He chose
you out of all other girls, then why
