HOUSEHOLD HINTS

If you are scarce of closets, just have a pole or old piece of gas pipe long enough to reach from one side to the other and use coat hangers Surprising how much you can put into a small closet
 When your broom gets shorter on one side than on the other, dip it into hot water, trim it evenly with the shears and you will have an improv- ed broom.
 A pinch of salt thrown on eggs will make them beat lightly in about half the time usually required.
 Fold a hot cloth around the mold and jelly will leave the mold without sticking or breaking.
 Salt and lemon juice will remove ink stains and iron rust. Milk will remove fresh fruit stains; while hot water will take coffee or tea stains out.
 To take out grass stains on wash able cloths, wet the garment in cold water and cover the stain with cream of tartar and put in the sun. If the material cannot be washed, sponge the gray mark with alcohol.
 If, while trying to open a Jar of jam and you cut your finger and some blood gets on your waist, take and soak the blood stain in cold water and then wash 1t with starch paste or soap.
 If you have a wine stain it may be removed by covering it with wet salt and washing 1t with hot water. This is very good for red wine.

The workers have received 5 pounds of sugar from Mrs H. R. Lawrence and her time. Mrs. Shaw has given black berries. Each case of jams weighs 50 pounds and contains compartments so that each case may hold several varieties of jam, three pounds to a quart. The Little Sisters are filling one case. Mrs. E. w.

Diary of a Fashion Model
Learns How Vest Make Youthful Suit

velvet buttons down the side. From the waistline there is a short, plain strip of gray velvet that is finished with gray chenille fringe.
 This costume has a certain youth ful dash about it, because of it's fairly stiff tailored lines. Nevertheless, the deep jacket, the square vest and the long collar give the costume a dignity that 1t suitable only for the mature woman.
 Mrs. Lane is a woman of rather full figure and of medium height, and as soon as she tried on the costume its many advantages for a person Of her figure immediately became apparent.
 In the first place, the vest reduces the apparent breadth of the waist. Be- cause of the vest the coat seems to consist simply of the vest and lovely long lines extending only to the vest on either side, thus making the coat seem much narrower than it really is.
 The small sash coming from be- meath the vest also introduces a long line that detracts from the width of the figure.
 There are many suits which have the deep cut of yoke that are inap- propriate for elderly women. In this costume, however, the deep yoke is perfectly fitting and becoming, be- cause it is part of the dignifed vest.
 The vest-like insert repeated in the cuff of the sleeves is another interest ing touch. Without it the sleeve would look too stiff and mannish, but as this trimming Is plain it doesn't make the costume too ornate to be proper.

How sappho Founded Only Womans College of Antiquity

went about freely, and splendid friendships were formed among men. The men stuck together in those days. They not only went off on their mili- tary expeditions, leaving their wives at home for years at a time, but when at home they kept together as much as possible. Men taught the young boys. Men dined together. Men had were not desired, and were kept in the background completely.
 Sappho saw these things. She saw the many advantages which accrued to menthrough their intellectual com panionship. Why shouldn't women have them also?
 Sapphoo held a unique position in Athens. She was the only woman who was deeply honored for her in- tellectual achievements, and 1t was freely admitted even then that her poetry was equal to that of any of the men poets of her day. Indeed, so highly was Sappho esteemed that her figure was stamped upon their coins -"honored her though she was a woman" said Aristotle.
 Her powerful pOSlIlOIl anu AllAU ence, therefore, enabled her to at- tempt a new sort of leadership-in- tellectual influence among women. She accordingly gathered around her numbers of young women with es- pecially fine minds. With them she would study and write poetry, and they spent many of their days in splendid philosophic discussion. Just as Socrates created a school of phil osophy by gathering around him the young men of Greece, so did Sappho create in Sparta the first class of women students.
 She not only stimulated her pupils to deeper thinking and to more beau tiful expression, but she developed a love of learning among women - she made them feel that to be uneducated was worse, than to be dead. To an uneducated woman who refused to learn, Sappho once said:
 Dying, thoushalt lie in the tomb, and there shall be no remembrance of thee afterward."
 But although Sappho died more than 1000 years ago, some of her poems still remain, and in modern poetry we still find some of the meters she used-called after her Sappho verse.

Madame has definite ideas on the subject of what a middle-aged woman should wear. She scoffs at some of an attempt to appear youthful, affect the styles that actually were designed for young girls
 The extremely short, full skirts which young girls can wear and which are suitable to their youthfulness, Madame thinks are decidedly un- beautiful on elderly women. Far from making them appear youthful, she believes they call attention to their age and the incongruity of their costume.
 Madame uses her clever pen to de- sign costumes that are fitting for the middle-aged woman, and gives them smartness of line besides an air of ac- tual youthfulness to the figure. It's the correctness of line that makes a gown becoming or youthful to the individual and not the appropriation of a style that was originally conceived for a young person.
 Today, for example, Mrs. Lane one of the best dressed society women of her years-came in and demanded a suit that must be youthful but not girlish." Like Madame, Mrs. Lane has a horror of seeming to initiate any young girls dressing, and yet, like the rest of us, she has a keen desire to look as young as she possibly can.
 Madame brought out a gown that instantly made good impression Con Mrs. Lane, because of its fine color It is of soft, gray velvet with vest and cuffs of moleskin

THE CoNRANIoNABLE WOMAN

Men marry for companionship; some get it and some do not No woman who is dragged down with ail- ments peculiar to her sex can be a fit and happy companion for any man. There is, however, one tried and true rem&dy for such conditions in that famous old root and herb medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and no woman who is afflicted with displacement, irregularities, in- fammation, alteration, backache, headaches, nervousness or "the blues" should rest until she has given this good old-fashioned remedy a trial. It will restore health and influence your whole life.-Adv.

FRANCES RICH.

Frances Rich was the youngest daughter of Oliver Cromwell and was born in December, 1888. She was very beautiful, and received many splendid offers of marriage; among others, one from Charles II. himself, then in exile. Cromwell refused, say ing that Charles would never forgive the death of his father" In Novem- Der, 1875, Frances married Robert Rich grandson and heir to Robert, earl of Warwick. MT. Rich died three months after the marriage, and some time after his widow married Sir John Russell, by whom she had several children. She died in Janu- ary, 1721, at the age of 84.

MANNISH

With the advent of the uniform mannishly tailored than has been favored by womankind for some years, plain tailored blouses with collars that come close up about the neck have been taken up again. When fresh from the hands of a laundress one of these blouses is attractively smart, worn with a tailored skirt of wool or mohair cut on the new mar row lines. Indeed, so narrow are some of the new skirts that they give almost the silhouette of trousers be- low a mannishly tailored skirt. Some of the French skirts are no more than a yard and a quarter in width and yard and a half is supposed to be generous measurement. These very narrow skirts, however, escape that absurd, skin-tight suggestion that made woman's costumes so gro tesque a few years back, because the new models dor not try to be narrow anywhere except around the ankles. Pleats, panels, slashes, TOW of buttons, emphasized pockets, and the life, re- lieve the narrow skirts from a too pro- nounced f1gure-revealing effect, and many skirts have graceful draperies at the front, or panels falling loosely at back and front. A very good skirt of dark blue mohair-and, by the l way, mohair is just now in high favor for skirts, frocks and suits for between season wear-has apron panels falling almost to the skirt hem at back and front, the panels swinging loosely from a wide belt of the mohair that
 passes twice around the waist and | crosses in front. Under the mohatr l panels is a skirt of self-toned satin, plain at back and front and machine
 pleated at the sides-between the
 panels.

ETIQUETTE

Introductions should not take place in a church or on the steps.
 NJ: When making your weekend visit, enjoy everything that is planned for you and be careful to let those about you know that you are having a good time. Nothing so warns the "cockles" of a hostess heart as to know her efforts are appreciated. Un- less requested mot to tip the hired help, leave a small sum of money with those who have served you. Imn1edi- ateiy upon your return home, send a "bread and butter letter."
 BRIDE: When sending out wedding invitations and announcements, "At home'' cards are usually enclosed with both, so that all those who know the bride or her parents may be informed of her new address and calling day.

The suffragists of Louisiana are de- terrnined not to let a minority rule the majority when the suffrage refer endum comes before the voters of that state this fall. To this end Mrs. Lydia Wickliffe Holmes, state chairman of the Woman Suffrage party of Louisi- ana, is reminding the men of the state that they cannot vote this fall unless they have registered since January l, 1917. What we want is full vote and a fair count" says Mrs. Holmes. 'The larger the vote the more cer- tain the victory for suffrage"

CHEAP HANDKERCHIEFS,

Out of salt bags and sugar bags I make lovely handkerchiefs for chill dren. I open the string of the seam
 and soak the bag in oil (petroleum). for about 24 hours. Do not soak in water first, use oil first. Then wash it in good warm water, using washing powder. Sometimes I bleach them
 in warm water if they are too yellow. When dry, iron and sew. crochet a fine lace on them sometimes. They make a lovely handkerchief, and cost absolutely nothing but the small work.
