AN EXPERIMENT IN UPLIFT

- IND Hearted Lady was so charm
~ ing that the Young Business
Woman she encountered in the
Girls Club could not resent the sudden
display Of personal interest. She let the
philanthroplst ask how a girl manages
to live on six dollars a week. what she
does for amusement, how did she re-
temptations Of the wicked bust
ness world and what church she at
tended.
Throughout the interview the Young
Business Woman glanced uneasily at
her companion. a blonde with wickedly
twinklinR eyes. But she responded so
freely n demurely the Kind Hearted
Lady was pleased. There might have
been no blot on her interest In social
welfare II she had not that evening
encountered the target Of her Young
Business Woman at a dinner In a real
home.
The poor child" who had confessed
that she went to church Sunday
morning when she wasn't too tired TO
get up was an interior decorator
earning between $4,000 and $4,000 a
veal.
With much tact and humor tho
aghast social investigator and the
amused girl bridged the situation.
II do not mind being uplifted II you
don't mind having uplifted the wrong
load" smiled the girl.
AND the other girl" Querled the
c~restfallen X. l..

pher," confessed the Business Girl rue

Trying TO sidetrack some lectures
on the good, the true and the beautiful
TO make way for some talks by a bust
neeo woman" grinned the girl.
II had one Of the welfare workers
In a big department store talk that day
and her success was instantaneous"
The puzzled Kind Hearted Lady
asked, Didn't she preach?"
She did not. She told the girls why
soma people got employment on sight
and why some never could get employ
ment When she talked about clothes
she not only talked sense and taste
but price. She explained how she
learned that two good linen waists cost
less and laundered better than four
fimsy lingerie waists. She told what
seemed to her best for underwear that

save laundry bills.
AFTER telling funny stories about

frocks too Il plays An important role.
Tho dressmakers have fashioned q
host OF black tulle frocks as frivolous
in line and detail rs they are sober
in coloring. and to the woman who
can wear black at all hes frocks are
exceedingly becoming. Indeed many
women to whom Opaque solid black
II not becoming al put on black

Touches Of jet are very likely to

tulle-not heavy trimming that
would rob the frock OF it's %airihess, but
narrow bands of delicate jet tracery.
mere edges OF jet. tiny pendent balls
Of jet. spidery embroidered motifs in
minute Jet beads.
One pretty model illustrating this
idea has an apron front OF the tulle
trimmed around in narrow Jet band
ing with a full frill OF the black tulle
outside the bands. There IL q very
full. deep fiounce. headed by jet. on
tho underskirt and the simple sur
plice bodice. practically transparent
above the bust. though lad over flesh
colored tulle. has Jet bands bordering
its surplice fronts. All the frills and
fiounces are picot edged. even the
narrowest Of hens d%etracting from
the gauzy charm Of tho effect.
Other models IN black tulle have
many ruffles or fiounces bordered by
narrow rolls Of black satin and a satin
girdle. Or perhaps tiny ruches or
plisse frills Of the tulle are used as
finish.
Full floating skirts Of black tulle
are combined with little close fitting
bodices OF white or color or with
deep girdles Of brilliant color forming
the greater part of a bodice.
In millinery black tulle has count
less uses. Big hats and little hats are
made entirely OF II. The shirred hat
Of black tulle. wide brimmed. low and
round OF crown and trimmed with
feather fancies or flowers or Jet Is one
Of the popular hats OF the season and

Besides. the biscuit made with sour
milk may ne split and toasted. and so

Doughnuts and gingerbread arc al
most exclusively made with sOur milk.
In the genuine johnny cake baking
powder Is not to be thought Of. Only
sour milk with the cream well beaten
in should be used for mixing the meal
before the beaten eggs are stirred In.
Such a Johnny cake will be eatable at
the end OF seven days II kept In a dry
receptacle. on course II must be thor
oughly cooled before being set away.
For waffies the Southern cook re-
fuses any substitute for sour milk
with a pinch OF soda. which, being
measured. means an even teaepoonful
OF soda 70 each pint Of thick sour milk.
To get the best results. wafies both

beaten light, then the milk In which
the soda has been thoroughly dis
