DOLLS FOR GROWN PEOPLE.

Not 50 many years ago, when the
Teddy Bear first arrived in toyland, II
became fad for grown-ups to carry
them about and play with them as well
as the children.
Whole trunkfuls Of clothes were pro-
vided for these toys. and during that
memorable summer the nose of the pet
poodle was fairly put out Of joint, not
the least excuse being that a toy bear
was not so obnoxious to the hotel man.

Now several Partisan actresses have

the clique owns about thirty, ranging

It is to be hoped that now the grown
people have gone back to dolls, the blase
little girls who, Of late. have somewhat
neglected their toy nurseries for more

old allegiance.

HOW ALUM AFFECTS
OUR BREAKFAST BISCUITS

The much-mooted question OF the
effects of aluminium compounds on the
nutrition and health Of man ferns the
subject Of a recent report by the referee
board of the United States Department
of Agriculture. the substance Of which Is
published as Bulletin No. 1Ga The con-
illusions of the board are supported by
the results OF three sets OF extensive ex-
periments on human subjects, conducted
independently by DR.. Russell H. Chitten-
den, of the Sheffield Scientific School; DR..
Alonzo E. Taylor. OF the University o,
Pennsylvania Medical School, and DR..
John H. Long, CT the Northwestern UIlt-
versity Medical School, all Of whom are
members OF the board.
Although alum Is used in making
pickles, preparing maraschino cherries,
human diet IL very small compared with
that consumed in baking powders; hence
the attention OF the board Sas directed
chiefly to the effects Of alum baking pow
ders.

HOW TO MAKE
BOSTON OYSTER STEW

Fannie Merritt Farmer. cookery editor
Of the woman's Home Companion. pre-
sents q number Of Recipes for October
in the October issue OF that publication.
Among them is her recipe for Boston
oyster stew, which follows:
Put one quart OF oysters in a coll
lander and pour over three-fourths cup
full Of cold water. Carefully pick over
oysters, remove tough muscles from half
Of them, and slightly chop remaining
half with removed tough muscles. Add
chopped oysters to water drained through
collander, heat to the boiling point, and
let simmer three minutes. Strain through
a double thickness Of cheesecloth, add re-
served soft part Of oyster, and cook until
oysters are plump. Remove oysters with
a skinner and put in a tureen with one
fourth cupful Of butter, one-half table
spoonful Of salt. aili one-eighth teaspoon
full Of pepper. Add oyster liquor. strained
a second time, and one quart of scalded
milk. Always remember to scald milk
in a. double boiler, which overcomes the
danger Of scorching. Serve with oyster
crackers"

LIBRARY WORK NOW
ATTRACTS GIRLS

Very few Of the girls who 20 away
to school think OF the work that viii
come after the school or college DAYS
are over. And yet Is Il not foolish to
devote three or four years. to say moth
ing Of the cost in money, to acquiring
an education which may be Of little
practical use afterward? Even the girl
who Is not facing the necessity Of earn
ing her own living may find Il agree
able 70 continue her Independence In
case she should not marry.
Teaching has been the refuge Of edu-
Gated feminity for a hundred years, ever
since the little red schooihouse ceased
TO be the perquisite OF q struggling d.
vinity student. But the profession Is
becoming overcrowded More and more
wen EDUCATED girls are being turned out
BY the universities to look for places
as teachers. Already the University OF
California is requiring a five-year course
from those OF It's graduates who expect
to teach IN high schools. The supply OF
teachers Is greater than the number Of
good positions.
Library work Is coming more and more
into favor as II becomes better known.
The salaries are not large-s40 or SO a
month In the cities and less in smaller
towns-but the work Itself il interesting.
In the small city the girl librarian is,
even more than the school teacher,
the dispenser OF culture. She Is ex-
pected TO take charge Of the books,
giving them out and taking them
back mending torn pages and collecting
fines. Sometimes she has an assistant for
evening work. sometimes not, but at the
lonSestSher hours are but from to s
in the afternoon and from to in the
evening.
She finds herself speedily acquainted
with every one in town through giving
advice on what to read Only a girl who
loveS books will have the wide acquafnt-
ance with them that such advice will
necessitate, but she will find this one Of
the charming parts Of her work. Then
there is the children's story hour on Sat
uEday morning. through which the little
folks 10 whom the printed pages are yet
closed may derive enjoyment
The length Of the library course varies
In different schools from one to four
years. Most OF the schools offer a one
year course to college graduates. notably
the school at Albany, N. Y, which re-
ceives only college graduates. Pratt In
stitute in Brooklyn has a one-year gen.
eral course, devoted principally to cata-
loguing. book binding and the technical
details of library work
There Is an excellent library school in
connection with tho University Of Illinois
at Champaign and similar school at the
Western Reserve University. Of Cleve-
land. Ohio. Another is offered in the
Congressional Library at WashingtC n
and one for children's librarians in the
Carnegie Library at Pittsburgh. DrexeI
Institute at Philadelphia provides an ex-
cellent course. Even the New York Put
lie Library has opened the doors of its
beautiful building for a course lasting
from one TO two years, according to the
Of the students.

October stands out as the anniversary
OF the birth OF Caroline Levinia Scott
Harrison. the wife OF President Benja-
min Harrison-and one OF the most gra-
cious and charming OF all the women who
have been hostIsses OF the White House
As the daughter Of a professor of
chemistry in Miami College. Caroline
Scott was brought up in a Western col
lege town. AS a child she was noted for
her fun-loving disposition and her fond
ness for all outdoor and boyish sports.
When she was twenty-one years old
she married one of the students in the
college. This was Benjamin Harrison.
who was only twenty years old at the
time-a young man who gave little
promise Of he eminence which he was
to attain.
The young couple went to live in a lit
tie three-room cottage on $500 a year.
Caroline was a real helpmeet to the
struggling young man and the first
years Of her marriage were full of hard
work and many privations.
After they had been married for eight
years Harrison went TO the front in the
civil war; as a colonel Of an Indiana
regiment and Mrs. Harrison was left
alone with her two young children. These
years Mrs. Harrison always remembered
as the hardest of her life.
But when better times did Gomez and
honors were conferred on BenjaminhIar-
rison, Mrs. Harrison met the new respon-
sibilities as capably as she had met the
trials Of former years She was a woman
of the decidedly home-loving type, taking
a personal interest in all the duties Of
her household. She was also exceedingly
fond Of all forms Of art and was some
thing OF an amateur water colorist her
self In her younger days she was de-
scribed as a demure, petite woman
with a face of great beauty. She was
strikingly dark in complexion and her
hair was raven color. 1t has often been
said that never has the White House
been ruled by a more delightful hostess
than Mrs. Benjamin Harrison.
Emma Nevada, whose birthday is also
celebrated on the first day OF October,
was born fifty-two years ago today. Her
name was really Emma Wixom-Nevada
having been assumed in honor of the
State where she first saw the light. She
Is counted among the most gifted of
American soprano singers.
