HOUSEWIVES DAILY ECONOMY CALENDAR
IE SPIRIT In WHICH WE SKIMF
By FRANCES MARSHALL

There are some women who economize
with smiles on their faces-with a good
grace and even a relish. Needless to say,
there are those who do not Which sort
are you? t -.
Strangely enough the problem involved
In skimping with good grace or max
ing a pleasure instead Of a burden out
Of econonizing Is largely a question Of
point Of view. II you just stop TO realize
that econonizing is only a question of
adapting your means to your needs-of
modifying your needs even to suit the
wherewithal-it doesn't seem so trying,
for every one. no matter what his wealth,
has to adapt his means to his needs It Is
one Of the requisites Of Iiving-and the
greater the man the more eagerly he goes
about this task.
We all know the woman who rebels
against economizing with the excuse that
she was really meant to have abundance
that 1t comes as natural for her to keep
four servants and to summon taxicabs as
It does for g fsh to swim-and that she

fort is to have II different from any 9TH

playing you won't be able to make her
this particular unique apron, for 1t is a
plain, simple little affair edged with lace
and ornamented with two playing cards
embroidered upon 1t. One of the cards
may form a pocket and the other Is en-
broidered In the opposite lower corner
A card is very easily traced upon the
apron, SO that you will not have to hunt
in the art needlework store for the
stamped material or the pattern with
which to stamp 1t. II you want some
thing difficult you may try the face cards,
but the spot cards are very effective and
not half so difficult to do. Take any card
you may wish and trace it upon the ma
terial by first placing a piece of tracing
paper, face downward, upon the ma
terial and then the card. face up, upon
that. Hold 1t firmly upon the material so
that 1t does not slip and then proceed to
go about the spots Of the card with a
pencil or some pointed instrument that
is yet sufficiently dull not to cut through
the card and SO spoil your tracing paper
and your material. You will have to
bear heavily on the card because of its
thickness, so that II will trace successful

In silk the color Of old gold or in red
and the spots may be worked solidly in
red or black, as the nature of the spot

HANGING PICTURES A FINE ART.

Picture hanging may become a ine
art, and, as in all artistic composition.
the general must precede the particular.
You must first have a comprehensive idea
Of your pictures and the groups into
which they fall by reason of size, color
and subject before you can plan their
hanging. Nor must you hang any one
picture on the wall until In q general
way you have mentally hung them all.
II you have a long. narrow picture
and short, broad one that seem to be-
long together, place the long picture two
or three inches beneath the other. This
Will give the impression conveyed by q
column and ITS capital, of mass supported
by slepder strength. In q long. narrow
wall space such an arrangement is par
ticulafly happy. In general, hang small
er pictures below larger.
Pictures should usually be on or short
ly above the level of the eye. Certain
pictures, however, can be elevated with
out detriment to their effectiveness. The
Sistine Madonna, for instance, poised. as
1t were, in the heavens, loses nothing by
being raised well above the other pic
lures.
Your pictures are individuals.
Each has been lovingly wrought with
some one end in view. Put yourself In
the place Of the artist: respect his aim:
do Justice to his achievement. II you
succeed in this, your pictures, like intel
igent, well hammered guests, will become
an integral part OF your household, each
contributing OF its beauty. its strength
or its character to the whole.

CORSET AIDS TO
HEALTH AND BEAUTY

At the root Of the ills to (Which feminine
flesh is heir is incorrect corseting and
tight lacing. These are by no means
synonymous terms. One may be Incor-
rectly yet loosely corseted. says Harriet
Edwards Fayes, in the July woman's
World.
Today II is the exceptional woman who
laces her corset SO tightly that her figure
assumes an unnatural contour. Ten years
ago many women did. This Improvement
Is to some degree to the credit of the
wearers Of corsets, but to a stIH greater
degree II is to the credit Of corset man
ufacturers and the mandates Of fashion.
Women who have just regard for their
health and beauty realize that the nor
NAL waist measurement Is an important
adjunct thereto. This is proved by the
fact that all ready-made garments are
two inches larger around the waist than
they were two years ago. which means
that most women who used to wear q
corset now wear a "a, and so on
through the different sizes
Leading physicians all admit that von,-

port is entirely different from suppress

or trouble Is brought on. the hrst sign
OF which Is constipation. The colon can
not function properly. More depends upon
the colon than most people are aware of,
even some physicians. The direct results
Of restricting the action Of the colon are
weakness. insomnia and dyspepsia; the
indirect results are too numerous to mem
ton and would be supernuous, because
the prevailing styles in corsets conform
In great degree to natures demands.

against the use. but the abuse Of the

NOVEL SASHES.

Following out the Indian note that
every now and then creeps into our
symphony Of fashion features comes the
beaded sash The beads used are usually
Of bright-colored wood. arranged IN
various and weird patterns, Sometimes
the wooden beads are made to combine
with silk thread and so form q fringe.
while at other times they are fastened
into a symmetrical design by a needle
and silk thread These sashes sell for
rather high prices at the shops, but an
examination Of one or two Of them will
reveal to you the secret whereby you can
procure the beads at the bead counter in
the fancywork department and make your
own beaded sash. The average beaded
sash is not more than from three to ave
inches wide, but it is sufficiently long to
wrap about your waist twice and fall in
two hanging ends.

FAMOUS WOMAN BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
CHARLOTTE cUSHMAN.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Charlotte Saunders Cushman, the fam
Gus actress, was born in Boston ninety
eight years ago today. She was of q
family of strong Puritan descent and was
throughout her life thoroughly Ameri-
can in all her ideals. When she was
very little girl her father died and left
her, the eldest OF five childen, as the
mainstay of her mother. They had little
money and it was but natural that Char
lotte should have turned her thoughts to
self-support at an early age. She had
a fine contralto voice and when she was
brit nineteen she made her debut in
opera, singing in The Marriage of Fig"
aro."
It was because of misfortune in the
sbare of the breaking down of her aiug-
ing voice that Miss Cushman turned her
attention to acting. Her first dramatic
part and one that always remained one

II you had ambitions to pay thirty-seven
dollars a month for rent you will only
have to cut II down to thirty-one; and
in your dress allowance you will have to
save only twenty-five or thirty dollars q
year-so the task Is not so great. A veg
etable garden may save what you need on
the food bill-careful buying and watch
ing for bargains may save what you need
from your clothes budget and taking a
longer lease on your house or promising
not to ask for. improvements may make
up the difference In the house rent. BY
undertaking to teach your little daughter
music yourself instead of paying forra a
music teacher, you will save another bill
and have a chance Tor self-.rnprovement
besides.
II possible, look on this task OF curtaIl-
ing expenses as an interesting game-a
game at which you need a great deal of
skill and considerable nerve, but also a
game at which the Joy of winning Is
enormous.

Of her greatest roles was that Of Lady
Macbeth. Although she remained the
greatest Lady Macbeth of her generation
II was as Meg Merrilies in the dramatiza-

gained her greatest laurels.
Charlotte Cushman won her great tri-

at all beautiful and both in face and
figure she was lacking in feminine grace,
Although Miss Cushman acted much
abroad and for a time made her resi-

He advertised in Yonkers newspaper for a woman to become his wife. and in his specifications for helpmeet stated that he would prefer homely one with lot of money.

 "Two or three that answered my ads have money and are anxious to marry me-" he said. "I want a homely wife who will be practical and stay at home and not think about society"
 One of the replies Herman re- ceived from a Yonkers woman reads {:
 "I have been looking, as thought, in vain for a man who would appre- ciate my wealth and forget my home liness, and in you l think l may find the real partner.
