HOW FRENCH WOMEN, SAVE
Their Natural Talent for Economy Has
Done Much TO Help Withstand
Hardships Of War.

The French housewife. with her ma
tive talent for economy, has saved
France up to the present time fully
as much as have those fighting In the
trenches. Good advice has been given
to Americans. II they will only take 1t.
Rich women who have had many
servants now have few. Expenses are
cut all along the line. Simple meals
and simple habits replace elaborate
ones. A lady buys clothes. but for or
phans and refugees, not for herself.
Poor women, who must reduce SIM
plicity to frugality-what do they dor
They make one sou buy two sous
worth by watching every centime.
This, for countless women In Paris,
means getting up at five o'clock in the
morning to get choice of things at
the great market, Les Halles; walk
ing long distances to go where things
cost not SO much as nearer home |;
walking instead of riding; keeping Wig
liant watch on the venders' carts along
the street for good values; turning
plain foods into attractive dishes by a
well-flavored sauce and a garnishing
which costs nothing.
In the old residential quarters Of
Paris there are hundreds Of women Of
aristocratic connections and moderate
means who before the war had several
servants and who now have none, or
perhaps one. And to women Of all de-
grees Of wealth there could scarcely
be more interesting study than to see
how these gentlewomen and their
humble helpers give a charming touch
to hard economy.
A representative household is one
where the regular income has suddenly
stopped, but leaving little more than
the small government allowance. The
Ingenuity Of housekeeper and cook ac-
complishes wonders. In many a home
butter may now be served once a week
and perhaps with only one course.
Perhaps three large strawberries
must suffice for each serving at des-
sert, but they will be served with a
grace that makes the eating Of them q
pretty ceremonial. If gooseberrles and
currants are inexpensive they will COM
bine remarkably with other berries for
compete. Perhaps dessert will be a
spoonful Of jelly with simple little
cake; or perhaps dessert will give way
to cheese, taking on a new attractive
ness on Its plate Of green leaves.-Les-
lies Weekly.

In the face of changing styles that
make up the panorama of the seasons
there are few things that reappear
each year and show some degree Of
stability of form. A long and ample
cape Of handsome fur Is an instance
of this. Every winter we are sure to
meet the fur cape among the rich pos
sessions of some matronly wearer, who
knows better than to change 1t with
shape less enduringly good. The long,
full cape is never entirely out Of the
running. After all, 1t seems the best
of all garments to choose when costly
furs, growing always rarer, are to be
made up.
Very rich and splendid fabrics could
not be better managed than by follow
ing the suggestion for furs. Heavy and
gorgeous brocades and velvets demand
the simplest lines and need not be
changed at the whim of fashion. Wom-
en- who own wonderfully embroidered
mandarin coats would not consider
changing and undermining such works
Of art; they belong to no particular
time or season and are best worn as
they were originally made.

Took Their Grain to Mill.

The report published In a Bridge
port newspaper that the owner Of a
grist mill at Sandy Hook, Conn.,, having
secured a few bags Of wheat, ground
It up and sold 1t to his neighbors to
be mixed with Western flour, the result
being a cheaper material for bread,
brings us back to the days Of hardly
more than a generation ago, when
Northern farmers produced grain on
their farms and had it ground In the
neighboring grist mill, then an institu-
ton to be found within few miles Of
every neighborhood. There was no in
dication in those days that the ground
product of the grain, whether corn or
wheat, was inferior to any produced
elsewhere. But now with the advent
Of modern machinery our civilization
seems to demand flour from which
every particle of nutritious gluten. SO
far as 1t tends to discolor the flour, is
eliminated. As for homegrown, home
ground cornmeal, that Is a rarity.

PowerfuI ExtermInator.

In India and Australia a rat and
rabbit exterminatOr was tested some
time ago. 1t consists of an outer and
inner metal shell, like one small egg
in a larger one. In the outer shell is
sulphuric acid, in the inner metal egg
is dry cyanide of potash. The outer
shell is filled with acid and placed in
the rat hole or burrow. and all rat
holes are tightly sealed. After an hour
or SO the acid eats into the cyanide
and turns loose a lot of deadly prussic
acid gas.
