THE WOMAN WHO
HAS ASPIRATIONS

Aspirations make the world go around
OF that we all feel sure. And no one
ought to criticise mankind for dream
ing. 1t is a good thing for women 10
look forward to the day when their posi-
ton will be in every way better than
it is today. 1t is a good thing for them
to plan in their minds the part they will
do in the great "uplift' movement that
is going forward now.
While the young housewife sits In the
living room dreaming of the coming age
when housework will be free from drudg-
cry, when a woman can be a perfect
wife, mother and housekeeper and still
have time and energy left so that she
can be president or queen. Congressman
an or financier. perhaps the potatoes
are burning or the baby Is crying itself
into a state of nervous unhappiness or
the weekly mending Is lying unattended
to. And of course the dust Is collecting
and today's work. whatever IL may be,
Is piling up for tomorrow.
Let modern woman dream on. OF
dreams realities are made. But while
she dreams let her do the work of the
present. Perhaps an age Of drudgeryless
work Is coming, but 1t is still far away.
Every one respects the woman who puts
her shoulder to the wheel-after making
n a smooth and well oiled a wheel, of
course. as she can-and pushes ahead IN
tha work of the world. She can dream
and plan for the future a. she pushes.

PLANNING THE NEW HOUSE.

Plan first for an airy, sunny cellar. u
is quite true that high cellar. as il is
usually treated. is an eyesore- hut II
ment or brick. or whatever the material
of the house may be. it Is not out Of
harmony with the rest of the house and
does not have the stilted. ungainly look
that a high cellar of different construc-
ton from the rest of the house gives
Remember that dry, sunny cellar
means health
Be careful to have all electric lights
where they can be easily reached. II
many houses the pantry light. for in
stance. is where it is hidden when the
swinging door is fastened open.
Arrange the lights with a view T. the
bureaus and chifoniers and dressing
tables or other pieces of furniture which
boast mirrors. These must be placed so
that the light shines to some extent on
the face that looks into them.
Plan the bedrooms with idea of
the placing of the beds. Put the win
dows where draughts directly across the
beds can be avoided
Have a door that closes easily and Sc
CuTely on the back stairs. either At In"
head or at the foot. so that the odOr Of
cooking in the kitchen will not penetrate
throughout the house.
Plan to have the bedroom closets on
the walls between the bedrooms .iCh
are to be occupied by persons easily dis
turbed. II the closets separate the bed
rooms they serve to deaden nOuiscs- This
arrangement occupies interior space. OF
course, when closets can be put in the
caves. but it insures quiet bedrooms.

PUTTING FURS AWAY.
The Temperature In Cold Storage
Gives Fur n New Luster

1t is wise woman who attends to the
putting away Of the family furs before
the really warm days approach.
Most city folk now send their hand
some furs to cold storage for the sum-
mer months The slight fee charged IS
inconsiderable beside the comfort of
knowing that ones furs are safe and
may be dismissed from mind until they
are needed again in the autumn The
low temperature of the cold storage
rooms also gives the furs a rich, silky
luster and makes each separate hair
stand out as it does on the animation.
of course. fur bearing animals come from
cold countries and the 20-below-zero tenn
perature of cold storage is a deal better
for your sealskin coat, madam. than the
sitting SO-in-the-shade of the cedar chest
in the home attic.
But moths. not summer heat. are the
most dangerous enemy of furs. and the
surest preventive against ruin by moths
is to get the furs put away before the
moth eggs have been laid. tn moment
you see a moth fitting about be sure
that eggs have already been laid some
where-perhapS only in that old winter
blanket folded under the cover of the
divan: but equally. perhaps. in your S2ho
set Of pointed fox which you have not
had time TO put away. If moth eggs are
discovered in the furs don't take any
chances; carry them 10 a reliable fur
rier to be treated and cared for. If you
are sure there are no moths in them.
hang them in the air for a whole day.
brush them thoroughly and then wrap
in newspapers before slipping into the
cedar chest or moth bags. Moths detest
newspaper and if well wrapped and seal
ed in ordinary newspapers are as efficd-
cious as camphor balls in keeping out
the pests.
II fur looks dull and matted and has
lost its gloss and fluffiness. sprinkle 1t
well with powdered starch and leave.
covered with newspapers for twentv-fonr
hours. Then shake out the starch and
the fur will he light and fluffy. as your
own hair Is when treated to dry sham
boo of orris root and talcum.

PATCHWORK QUILTS
FOR SUMNER COTTAGE

There is nothing like the "id-fash.oued
patchwork quilt for use with a fo-r-Post
bed. Even though the bed be copy
only of the antique, the quilt needs 10
be of the same era, especially II the
room is furnished with rag rugs. Now
and then at fairs and among private
customers one finds a woman who knows
how to make rag carpets and mats and
there is nothing more appropriate for
the bedroom floors of the summer cot
tage.
Patchwork has periodical revivals. hut
even then 1t is never entirely out "
fashion. Many women today hoard Straps
Of silk for this purpose as their moth
ers. grandmothers and great-crdnd-
mothers did before them.

colors for certain quilts, thus using h!ue

SOMETHING NEW
IN LUNCHEON SETS

Very practical. and dainty withal, are
the newest designs in luncheon sets. OF
heavy linen or crash in putty or natural
shades, the edges of the various pieces
are finished with small scallops in Chi
nese blue. Nile green, old rose, or Van
Dyck brown-the four shades that best
accord with the usual dining-room dec
orations and with almost any of the ORR
entail table potteries. These new sets
consist of a center mat of twenty-four-
inch circumference and a dozen each Of
plate and tumbler mats, while In extra
pieces in matching colors and designs.
come long scarfs for the sideboard and
serving table. The value Of the luncheon
set is obvious. 1t is an immense saving
of laundry. since when an accident hap
pens to one mat another may be substi-
tuted and the table napery kept looking
fresh for several days in succession.

The original model was of tango pink,
with a four-inch wide border in a con-
ventional design of green, brown, gold
and dull blue. A matching shade OF
blue was used to face the collar and to
band the double frill on the sleeves.
This gave the frock on Oriental ap-
pearance that was unusual and most
pleasing. The same idea could be car
ried out in any becoming color. and the
dress would also be pretty of white with
a colored border.

and is well worth consideration. IL one
is thinking of dressy street suit for
warm weather. The skirt is the regula-
ton tight two-piece model bullying over
the hips. The peplum or upper skirt is
very full, cut so that il appears to
flare at the lower edge
Exactly how long this upper skirt is
to be must be determined by the wear
er. for what will look we'll on one figure
will not on another. The length pictured
will be becoming to the majority, but
If one is very short, 1t will be safe to
add several inches to its length. The
closing is at the center front, and the
soft crushed girdle that finishes il is of
old blue taffeta, made separately and
adjusted after the skirt is. on.
The jacket Is worn over a fesh-col-
ored blouse of crepe and is caught at
the neck with long tie of the same
silk. 1t is cut from a one-piece coat
pattern with full-length sleeves. The back
is square to match the smart Eton 'front.'
and a wired collar finishes the neck
Small buttons to match those on the
skirt trim the front and sleeves.

Quite n number of Waterproof
people attended the school exercises
in st. Joseph and all pronounced it
a very successful and beautifully
managed affair and too much can
not be said about the Tom Thumb
wedding, all deserve mention, but
this was exceptionally beautiful.
On Tuesday eve in St. Joseph the
most beautiful and thoroughly en-
joyable dance was given at the Ma
sonic Hall for the benefit of enlarg-
ing it. Quite a large sum was raised
and the Hall will be still further
beautified for entertainments of all
kinds. Much praise should be given
the three who worked so hard to
raise the enlargement fund, Mrs. B.
B. Baxter, Mrs. r. III. Whitney
and Mr.. Louis Buckner. They were
nobly assisted by all the progressive
citizens of st. Joseph.
Among those from Waterproof
who attended were: Misses Turpin,
