How TO Keep Bread Fresh.


Bread may be kept a long time in a
suitable ~oxygen-free atmosphere. In
a recent American Chemical society
paper, Arnold Wahl pointed out that
as the, bread eools, the carbon dioxide
in it's PORES is condensed and dissolved
in the free water of the bread, and the
resulting vacuum causes an absorb
ton of gases from the atmosphere.
Cooled In ordinary air, oxidation of the
protein by the absorbed gas renders
the bread stale In a few hours. Mr..
Wahl has found preferable an atmos-
phere of carbon dioxide freshly pro-
duced by fermentation, and when
cooled in this the bread is so modified
as to remain fresh several weeks.

is, in fact, introduced upon the out
side OF many of the flmiest frocks.

Race Origins.

Herbert Bruce Hannay, an English
man, has written a book on European

various peoples back to their
earliest ancestors, he sets forth that
the Prussians are the descendants OF
the Ishmaelites, the Dutch and Hes

Ignoring Each Others Faults
Brings Happy Welded Life
BY U JEAN LIHREY.

SO apt to turn the pages over tanta-
lizingly until broad daylight.
If a wife discovers her bridegroom
and treating friends-is actually a
spendthrift, a fact she never knew be-
fore-instead Of raising a great row
over the missing sum from his week
ly pay envelope, she should by Wom-
anly tact and loving kindness wean
him from his fault by degrees with
out giving him so much as a hint that
she had discovered his weakness and
was devoting all her energies to bat
Ting silently against 1t. IL she de-
nounced him as a spendthrift, he
would lose at once his fear of her
finding 1t out.
And SO on with the trififng faults
of each to the greater ones. The rea-
son why some married couples cannot
agree is because they find singular
pleasure in throwing up to each other
the faults they have discovered.
Married life, in the majority of
cases, consists of keeping tab on each
other and keeping to oneself what she
or he finds out. Those who adhere
to this plan have a fairly happy life
Of 1t together. The couples who taunt
each other with what they know of
each others faults or foliies wrangie
all through their welded days, having
a wretched existence of 1t.
Eve could not keep a secret. She
divulged what she had found out. 1t
is natural for her daughters to fol-
low her example. Then trouble will
catch them If they don't watch u

NEW FOOTWEAR FOR ARMY
improved Shoe Model Will Be Hob
nailed for Service In
Mexico.

The war department appointed a
shoe commission in 1912 to design a
model embracing the best points Of
all the army shoes, surprising them,
IL possible. The shoe which was
adopted was of good materials, well
made on a rational last designed by
the department. The interior is per-
fectly smooth, with heel broad and low
and sole moderately thick. The arch
is flexible and without metal shank or
other s%tiffening. Evelets are used
rather than hooks. The shoe reaches
but little above the ankle; 1t is wide
across the ball Of the boot and has a
high toe cap. It is comfortable, neat
looking, light In weight and easily re-
moved IT put on.
AS soon as the soldiers out the
shoes of the type which they are nov
using on the border they will be reft-
ted with the new type which the gov
eminent has ordered, says a writer in
the Outlook. The newest shoe is hob
nailed and weighs three pounds seven
ounces. 1t has been adopted for Mexi-
can service because the present type
has not worn well In mountain climb
ing and has been readily cut up by the
malpais rock in Mexico. The shoe is
similar to that In use in the Italian
army.
Whether this model will be perma-
nently adopted is open to considerable
doubt. The weight OF the shoes and
the stiffness of the leather used de-
tract from the comfort of 1t. It has
some disadvantages, therefore, but the
severe usage in Mexico made it desir-
able to give this type a thorough try
ont In rep1llar service

The Plated Skirt.

Plated skirts often give trou-
BILE with the back closing. To
keep 1t from parting, do not
open it in the center back seam
if you have an inverted or box
plat, but have the skirt ready
for the band, all seams stitched,
and pin the plaits In carefully.
Then slash down On the right IN
side crease of the center plat.
This makes a closing that will
not part, and needs about half
the number of hooks and eyes.
Allow the band long enough to
reach across to the slashed side.
Plaits that swing out of place
can be stitched to position at
the extreme edge on the under
side. This is a good method for
all cotton and other washable
skirts.

Russian Magic
By H. T. Parker

THE magic of the Russian Bal
L let-the magic that viii make it
something new, strange and Won
derful to the American stage-is a
magic of ensemble. When it de-
ploys its full forces in the Ian
guorous and misty beauty of "Les
Sylphides" it summons a fiawless
and poetized vision. 1t dances
through HCarnaval" and "Papil-
Ions" and fills the theatre with the
atmosphere of romantic fantasy.
In the scenes from "Prince Igor"
it leaps and whirls as in primeval
strength and barbarie prowess. An
hour later the stage glows with
the exotic illusion of the Indian
legend Of "Le Dieu Bleu" or
quiyers with the sensuous excite
ments of ''Thamar." TO them may
succeed the racy folk-life and the
gay WITNESSES of "Petrouehka" or
the Oriental savagery of "Sche-
herazade." In all these bellets
each dancer has q clear individu-
atty, yet each is q plastic and al
most molten part Of the whole.
The vitality, the variety, the
wealth Of illusion are superb. The
spectators are transported cut Of
