Milady's S Boudoir

One of the most beautiful new ar
rangements for milady's boudoir is the
scent diffuser. To all outside appear
ances II is a lovely porcelain boudor
lamp. The exterior is decorated with
charming Grecian dancing maidens, the
epitome of grace A dull electric light
illuminates their airy poses. Then the
interested-or even curious-spectator no
tices a dainty scent about the room.
After investigation she finds 1t can come
from nowhere but the mysterious lamp.
And therein lies the secret. The electric
light heats miladys favorite extract,
placed in the interior of the globe, caus-
ing 1t to diffuse all through the room. 1t
even goes all through the house II II Is
strong enough. Isn't that n pretty ideaT

sides of the body at the edge OF the lower
ribs should push outward. Few women
will find they can 20 this. because their
clothes are constraining. This is a Sc
rious defect and the organs of the chest
and lungs will be affected sooner or later.
This is the interior result: the exterior
result is the slouChlng, inelegant figure
To stand properly let the arms hang
naturally at the sides. taking care that
the spine maintains a vertical position,
so that a line drawn from shoulder to
hip would be straight up and down. Now
raise the chest, keeping the chin close
to the neck and the abdomen retracted,
and your round shoulders win disappear
This proves that the shoulders are willing
TO do their part and are not the offenders
the offender is the girl herself
II you are dealing with a round
shouldered girl, don't say anything 10
her about her shoulders, but induce her
TO wear the proper clothes, allowing free
dom to the waist muscles, and TO breathe
deeply. Then the problem Of round
shoulders is solved forever.

Another mixer recently seen is merely
well-made stone jug with beateF
lttlng into It. In this way the contents
can be whipped or beaten and then poured
directly from the spout, which is so
much more convenient than taking up the
batter in tablespoons only. 1t is par
ticularly good for wafTles and all griddle
mixtures.
While the beating Of mayonnaise seems
also a small matter, in many homes 1t
is a frequent task. Gone are the good
old days of soup plate and silver fork
The mechanical mayonnaise mixer has
taken its place. One such consists Of
small bowl and separate dasher or
beater which can be fastened with a
clamp to a support, such as table or
ledge. In this way very slight pressure
on the crank turns the mixer, which thu
prepares mayonnaise in much shortei
time than the old-fashioned hand way.
Every one knows how mussy II is to
whip cream In the ordinary open bowl
A new eggbeater combination is seen,
which overcomes this difficulty. This u
a glass bowl with tightly fitting slas
lid. Into this is fitted an eggbcater 81
liar TO the Dover. Cream, eggs or othS
liquid can be whipped In this covered
bowl without danger of the contents
sputtering or spIashlng about.
In large institutions and hotels all ml-
lures and beaters of course, are operat
by power. It is quite wonderful to wat
a hotel mayonnaise mixer and to see {,
clear-grained perfect product turned
in few moments because of the perfe
beating given by the mechanically OF
Grated dasher But It is possible to a
proximate institutional perfection by d
ing some of the many stationary al
improved beaters in the home kltchent

Ideas in Idleness

A man who is determined to succeed in
life will not let woman tie him down.
Trust goes hand-in-hand with love.
There is no real affection when these are
separate.
The great advantage OF small house
is that there Is no room for inconvenlent
relations.
No amount of love and devotion can
overlook a sloppy woman seven days a
week
The true home is the place where a
man can be himself, with all the failings
this implies.
A man can sympathlze with a whining
woman just so long. When he gets ac-
customed to her, he's a brute.

Denmark

The suffrage struggle, it appears, is
nearly over in Denmark. The Govern
ment bill embodying franchise has been
twice passed by the Folkething, or Lower
House, and twice rejected by the Lands
thing, the Conservative Upper House,
Now it is hoped that a compromise has
been arrived at by which the bill will
pass Immediately. As a dissolution oc-
ours this year, the Danish women may
vote this spring.
