There are good articles and books spe-
cia1ly for women who are earning their
own living, but the men do this sort of
thing far more thoroughly and with
greater enthusiasm. They talk straight
from the shoulder. and they have ideas

ton TO the views of the boss as to those
of the clerk who is seeking information
in new field. And it is worth while
getting line on what the boss thinks.
Men read these publications, read them
constantly. write to the editors on ques-
tons that interest them. or for informa-

tiercely hot when the pot Is set on the

it might burn. There will be less danger
of this if cooked over q slow fire. and as
the fat should be melted with gentle heat
a moderate fire is best all around.

FADS AND FANCIES
OE THE SEASON

Fashion, that naughty rival Of nature.
to whose dictates both the graces and
beauty are frequently sacrificed. has re-
vlved the doublet from pre-Elizabethan
times-the best specimen of which is
preserved in the Isham collection In the
Victoria and Albert Museum London.
The revival has not brought improve
ment upon the original design-the mod
ern waist is shapeless. wrinkled at
fair, with a row Of closely-set buttons
going down the front. If the influence
was confined to a single garment there
would be less cause for protest, but it has
spread and the beauty destroying lines
have been incorporated into some of the
latest negliges and boudoir gowns.
Fancy robbing these garments Of all
their feminine curves and frivolities.
Dress is to beauty what harmony is to
melody: 1t ought to set it off to adj
vantage. to enhance its luster; never to
cover or to disguise 1t. The straight
up and down lines of masculine dou-
blet are certainly not appropriate. as the
promoters of the fashion will doubtless
learn from experience.
Who will not be able to appreciate the
removable buttons that are Intended for
wash material dresses? The socket into
which the button top is snapped is sewed
onto the dress In the usual way: but It is
a comparatively small affair, which per-
mits one to launder around it closely.
and when the larger button top is snap
ped back on it after laundering the effect
is far neater than any that could be OBJ
tanned by laundering the garment with
the regulation button. The button heads
may be slipped off the fasteners in few
minutes before washing. and yet they are
very secure and stand all the rough
usages TO which button is ordinarily
put.

TO use two crusts and to bake them after
the huckleberries are in them, but to mix

for a pie. The berries should be thorough
" dried before putting in the pie.
