LEARNED TO COOK, ALRIGHT
Then Inkslla Opened Z School Of Her
Own and Mistress Advertised for
Another Servant.

After Mrs. Hostetter's advertise
tnent, "Wanted-Good, intelligent vege-
tartan girl who can cook" had been in
the daily papers for four days, a tall
girl Of medium stature, with pink eyes.
a red nose. and yellow Jaundice, pre-
sented herself.
'Ay bane good intelligence vege-
tarium girl, but ay can't cook" she an
bounced.
Never mind" said Mrs. Hostetter
desperately. "Ill teach you to cook"
And for ninety days and ninety
nights Mrs. Hostetter shaved away
showing Inkella the ms and outs and
sideways Of Russian Followers. Bel
gian biscuits, Peruvian pancakes,
HoRolulu hash, California crullers,
French flinders. Swedish swatnots, and
a thousand other culinary mysteries
that represented lifetime's devotion
to the kitchen range.
At the end of three months Inkella
could make Norway noodles. Japanese
jampums and Swiss zwieback better
than Mrs. Hostetter herself.
AT the end Of three months and four
days she opened cooking school of
her own, and Mrs. Hostetter put an
other ad In the papers.-Detroit Free

ADJUST HAIR NET LIGHTLY
It Should Net Be Pulled Tightly Over
Couture At the Beginning ~
Might De Supposed.

In adjusting hair net it 10 not
pulled tightly over the hair, a. one
might suppose. The best hairdressers
always throw it lightly over the hair.
While one end IL held in one hand. tie
other 10 pinned down at one st6s Of
the front and 4 few invisible hairplns
thrust into 1t without any attempt to
make It ht smoothly at arst. Then ths
other end 10 fastened to the other side
Of the front. This leaves the hair net
standing out from the hair In places.
Then these little full places are
gradually taken up. always being care
ful not to pull the coidurs down too
tightly. The little bunches Of net are
pinned under the surface Of the hair;
where they will not be noticeable.
A last touch Is to take 4 hatpin and
pull the coiffure out into its original
form wherever It has become Aattened.
AS the hairdfesser says, Don't be
stingy with hairpins."

Prowder Made 4 Mistake.

II there is anything that will make
folks forget sleep it Is burglar scare.
Some third-rate prowler, with trick
feet made a technical mistake In the
course Of his work in Broadway
apartment house, and as result Of
his Indignation, approximately 2OO
sleepy eyes were compelled to do
night work. The burglar, as he would
no doubt like to be called by his inti-
mate friends, had gained entrance to
the house and was getting along rath-
er fairly when he encountered baby
carriage in the dark. The crash was
tremendous and was followed BY fur
ther creaking and grinding as the sim
pie criminal disentangled himself He
probably got into the carriage I'M his
excitement, for to the breathless listen
ers it seemed that he required an hour
to free himself of 1t. Finally, giving
OF no end of steaming language, the
incompetent bandit fed down 4 front
Ore escape and got away. He had
taken nothing. Everybody In the house
remained up for the rest Of the night.
believing that the burglar would be
mad enough to come back and take 4
last kick at the carriage.-New York

70 WASH SUMMER FR0CKS
Handful Of Salt in Rinsino Water
Nearly Always Acts as Preserva-
tive for Any Color.

When washing colored summer
frocks at home, remember these hints:
A handful of salt in the rinsing wa
ter nearly always acts as preserva.
tive for any shade or color.
Brown Holland frOcks always pre-
sent a better appearance If washed in
bran water, without any soap being
used. Boil d pound of bran in two
quarts of water, strain this into two
quarts of clean warm water. and wash
the dress in as many lots of water as
necessary.
Rinse through cold water and, when
half dry, iron on the wrong side with
hot iron.
Silk summer blouses want washing
quickly and carefully, one at time.
Do not wiring the blouses, but squeeze
through two bowls of soapsuds, then
rinse through clean warm water. Pale
colored silks improve by being given a
second rinsing through blue water. Roll
in a towel and iron before quite dry
with a fairly hot iron, keeping piece
Of muslin between the silk and the iron
"a good tip this latter. So many home
laundresses ruin silk blouses, making
them yellow, by washing them in very
hot water.

POCKETS IN new BL00MERs
Garment Designed to Be Worn With
Short Skirt Of Khaki and the
Norfolk Jacket.

It is now possible to buy bloomers
which have pockets. In this will be
seen the influence Of the new sort of
feminine garb which is being brought
forward In anticipation Of woman's
entrance into industrial fields which
heretofore have not been opened to
her.
The pocketed bloomer will be worn
with the new short skirt of khaki,
whose proper complement Is the Nor
folk jacket. Moreover, the summer
girl who at present does not feel the
necessity of identifying herself with
any of the national organizations to
aid the war department will be glad
to avail herself of this convenient ac-
cessory for camp wear or tor the hlk-
ing expedition. In the country.
These bloomers are to be had all
the way from those Of white satin to
the same humble variety Of cotton or
satins. The average woman will be At
tracted toward the models in dimity
or nainsook, some Of which are In
color and which are designed to wear
with the lingerie dress Of matching
hue.

NOTHING IS WASTED THERE
erything Is Utilized, Especially if
It Is Made Of Wood or Tin.

Hayti is one country where almost
everything is utilized, particularly If
the substance be wood or tin. Lum-
ber is $50 per 1000. and any substi-
tute for it is eagerly welcomed.
For instance, a partition fence be-
longing to some well-to-do people on a
prominent street is made Of the tops,
bottoms and sides of packing boxes
that contained cans of condensed
milk; two doors further on Is a fence
made Of old barrel slaves and packing
uncommon.
Tin cans, with the solder melted off
and the tops and bottoms removed, are
flattened out and used as shingles, In
mending fences, patching holes and
for numerous other purposes.
The flve-gallon oil cans, however, are
priced and cherished family posses
sions. These cans have a regular mar
ket value of 15 to 20 cents gold. 1t is
no unusual occurrence for woman to
buy five-gallon can of kerosene, hoist
1t to her head and tramp all day ped.
ding the oil in small Quantities-at
cost, if she can do no better-just for
the sake of obtaining the tin.
These receptacles are used for carry
Ing water. boiling clothes and storing
and cooking food.
The tins in which five pounds Of lard
come have a value Of 10 cents gold,
and are standard measure, known To-
,cally as "mamite." They are used as
dry measure generally for corn,
beans, salt and the like.
Even the square tins In which
matches are shipped are sold at to
10 cents each.-Kansas City Journal.

KNITTING kInk.

Some Of the "knitting girls" are max
ing attractive sweaters out of two COL
ors of wool. They merely use the
double strand, one Of each color, and
treat 1t as they would the single strand
of wool in any other sweater. The ef-
feet at a distance is novel and artistic
when the right colors are combined.
The darker wool is usually used for
the trimming bands, sash, collar and
cuffs. Sleeveless sweaters made in
