Now the army, and especially the
officer class, has viewed Costa and MS
autocracy with ill-concealed dislike.
Costa has not been blind to this, and
has constantly played the rank and file
and the commissioned officers on
against the officers. In addition, he has
kept the military barracks around
Oporto and Lisbon crowded with MS

reported to their leader every seditious
utterance on the part of the ofhcers.

grounded objections to sending them
to a laundry.
II the flannels are plunged into boil
ing hot suds, made with some good
white soap. and worked about with a
smooth stick or paddle. much of the
dirt will come out at once.
Let them lie in the suds until ii Is
cool enough to put the hands in: then
rub the flannels between the hands
not on the board-until the soilure is
practically rubbed out.
Then pour off the water and plunge
the flannels into clean hot suds. as be-
fore.
Next rinse them through several
clear waters, each cooler than the last.
and finally through a tub of pale
blueing water. Pull and shake them
into shape. and hang Them to dry
without wringing-in a breezy, shady
place.
Remember in washing flannels these
three important points: They must
not be put into cold water~ soap must
not be rubbed on them. ana they must
not be wrung.
they will retain their wilderness and
softness to the last, and there will be
none of the shrinking and hardening

it sounds. but 1t helps a long way toward
success in business"
Perhaps Miss Chapman owes some of
her business success to the sort Of child
hood she passed up In Canada, where her
father. prominent photographer.
brought up his family on q country place
near London, Ontario.
As a girl Miss Chapman roamed the
woods on pleasure trips with her father
and brothers. She hunted squirrels and
later learned to shoot. She learned to
raise pigeons. doves, chickens, ducks and
rabbits. canaries. hooking birds and
thrushes.
She rowed and fshed and sailed, and

ers. She was taught to believe that the
thoroughbred girl was the girl who could
work. No less fond was she of domestic
duties than Of the pastimes of her
brothers. She baked and sewed and kept
house. and turned her hand to anything
that there was to be done on her father 8
country place.
Then when the longing came to be in
dependent, as 1t does come to most girls
of ambition, instead of taking her
dreams out In longing she started out
to work with a will. She knew how to
sew and to dressmake, and as a very
young woman she started out in this
calling. working by the day with will.
knowing that such work would in the
course Of time lead to independence.
Miss Chapman worked in Chicago and
then in New York. where she was for
several years the dressmaker and cos
tuner of the wife of the famous actor,
Robert Mantell. and then came that
eventful visit to Washington when she
lost her heart to our beautiful city and
never went back to her days work IN
New York and Chicago.

Miss Morgan vs.. the President.

One of those who took up the cudgels
when President Wilson made the state
ment the other day that the world could
dispense with high society was Anne
Morgan, daughter of the late J. Pier
pont Morgan-a woman who is rapidly
assuming the position of supremacy
among women Of wesIth. who are de-
voting their time to matters of public
betterment. Anne Morgan is not just
a -philanthropist. She is more than this.
She is intensely interested in social work
of all sorts, and because she is a woman
OF large fortune she is liable to put this
interest into a concrete and recognizable
form.
Miss Morgan says that the President
1. very wrong" because, as she ex-
plains. the wealth of society is respon-
sible for the successful careers of many
artists, musicians, and others whose
service to the community is undisputed.
and II it were not for the women OF
society,"" the large philanthropic and
charitable interests would have to beg
in vain.
One rather likes to hear a woman Of
Miss Morgan's stamp come out SO loyalty
for the women whom she feels that the
President has misjudged. 1t is an ex-
ample of the loyalty Of one woman for
other women, which has not always been
ascribed as a strong characteristic Of
womanknd. But hasn't Miss Norman
misunderstood what the President meant?
Is Miss Morgan. or is any woman, who
busyng herself as Miss Morgan Is. really
a member of what the President demon
mated as high society," Miss Morgan
cited the Csrnegies and the Fricks as
those who had amassed enormous riches.
yet whose riches are of service to So
ciety. Surely the generous giver of many
libraries was never by any stretch OF the
ina gination or by the remotest ambition
a member of what most of us understand
TO be high society,"

why did you go into business in
Washington" This question, put by a
representative of the Woman's Herald
to Miss Lillian Chapman. brought ready
answer.
Because / came here to see the Capt.
tai of the country and L decided that
wanted to stay. / had been working In
Chicago and in New York as a dress
maker and I never dreamed when I came
down here that I would never go back to
work in those cities. But I fell in love
with Washington and 1 have bep here
ever since. I remember that 1 trimmed
ten hats for the women who were in
the boarding house where I was staying
and that gave me the incentive to go
to work here.
so I just went into the dressmaking
business. There wasn't anything re-
markable about that. and l have been
at it ever since. II was through my
dressmaking that I learned to under
ing and that realized that in the proper
fitting and making of corsets there was
a real art and science. Then one day
one of my customers who was in the
hospital asked me to fit a corset to her

ing hard and on knowing your subject.
but next to that I owe my success to
being pleasant. That has more to do
with success than most people will ad-
NIT. My advice to the woman who wants
to succeed In business is this: Never
lose your temper under any circum-
stances. There are many times when a
kind word and patience with an angry or
unreasonable customer will be the great
est asset a business woman can have.
Then another thing: Always keep your

way you will establish confidence and

stated hours of the day in which you de-
vote your time to work of the house and
this wardrobe suitable for Homework can
be kept especially for these working
hours.
To begin with. the houseworker needs
comfortable shoes. Shoes that do very
well for street wear are not suitable for
Homework. Homework shoes should
have broad heels, though extremely low
heels are not necessary. They should be
light. also. and flexible of sole. White
canvas shoes are admirable for this pur-
pose. Nowadays no one wears uncom-

frocks suitable for wash materials and
here you should stop. First of all the
house frock should have skirt that Is
sufficiently wide at the ankles to permit
of freedom Of walking, and as practically
all the new models are over two and a
half yards around this is not difficult.
Then the pattern chosen should open in
front so that the busy housewife can
don her frock in haste, and this Is not a
difficult requirement for this type Of
gown still Is in vogue. In spite Of the
fact that high collars are in again. there
are many models of house gowns that
have the comfortable. generally becom-
ing open throat and such a model should
by all means be chosen by the housewife
for her working frocks. When 1t comes
to sleeves there is little difficulty, for
the new gowns practically all have long
sleeves, and the housewives working
frocks should be short of sleeve There
is no question about that, for sleeves that
are rolled up are certainly an abomina-
ton and there is much Of the housework-
er's work that requires barred arms. The
difficulty can be solved simply by cutting
off the sleeve section a few inches be-
low the elbow and finishing It suitably
with cuff or fold of the goods.
