Birthday Bio-Briefs Famous Women
MARGARET FULLER OSSOLI.

Perhaps those are right who cite Margaret Fuller Ossoi the fairest representative of the excellence, de- fects ,and aspirations of the women of New England. She was the daugh- ter of a lawyer, and was born at Cambridge Port, Mass, on the 23rd of May, 1910. Her intellect became preternaturally developed, to the life long cost of her health. By night she became a somnambulist, and a prey to spectral illusions and night mares. Her father died in 1885, and leaving her no fortune, she taught school She made a disagreeable first impression, including those who subsequently became her best friends. It was in conversation that Miss Full CT shone. In December, 1S4T, she married Count OssoH a poor Roman noble, attached to the papa1 house. hold On July 16, 1849, while re- turning to America, the ship struck the beach. For twelve hours, dur ing which the vessel went to pieces they faced death. At last the crew and passengers were engu1fed in the waves, only one or two reaching the land alive. Margaret Fuller and her husband were never found-and thus died one of the most famed converse tionalistS in the world.

Roast lamb has always called for mint sauce. That meant buying fresh mint and making a sauce. And often it was forgotten.
 A culinary expert says that the modern way is to use mint jifyjell. The jiffy-jell comes in powder form and Is green. A sealed vial in the package contains the mint favor-an extract from fresh mint leaves.
 Add boiling water to the jiffy-je1l. Then add the mint flavor from the vial. Let the jell cool in a single mold, or in individual molds. The result is a green jeu rich in fresh mint flavor. to serve with roast lamb or cold meats.
 Mint jiffy-je11 can be kept on hand. It is said that housewives who once try it will abandon old-style mint sauce.

THE COLONIAL PUMP.

The Colonial Pump is the smart shoe Of the season. To be sure oxfords are also worn for day dress. They arc rather high and laced not with rib bons, as they were last year. but with tubular silk lacings. They. are made in kid, suede and black satin. And the lacing holes are bound with met al. But the Colonial pumps are new CT. They, like oxfords. have French heels of medium height. almost in- variab1y with little metal layer Of metal that Is now used to help keep the heels even.
 They. are made in black and brown kid and in patent leather. Sometimes a. buckle of jet or steel is fastened at the bottom of the flaring tongue. One striking and attractive type of Colonial pump has the sides of the tongue fastened to the shoe. This holds the shoe on. at the same time giving the attractive silhouette of the regulation Colonial pump.

PROFESSIONAL AND
 BUSINESS WOMEN
 MEET THIS MONTH

A national federation of business and professional women Is to take place at St. Louis, July A to IS. In this period of reconstruction when the strength in unity is foremost in the common thinking, it has been a cause of deep concern to many that there is no adequate organization of the busi ness and professional women of this country.
 It is estimated that there are now between 12 and 13 million wage earning women in the United States. Such group could first of all make secure its own position in the busi- ness world. It could set standards of better working conditions and com mand opportunities more commen- surate with the ideas of a land of democracy. Such a group could se- cure better living and working con- ditions and could help the younger women to better positions and to fill more satisfactorily those positions which they now hold Thus both em- pIoyer and employee would be bene- fted.
 The National War Work Council has decided to give part of the fund which was apportioned to the work for women, from the combined war work and rellef 1und, Dack to the women of the country; and this ap- portionment is to be used in organiz- ing a National Federation of business and professional women. The object is tentatively stated as follows: 1. To unite organizations of busi- ness and professional women (a) In order to come to a better | knowledge and understanding of | their conditions and needs in differ ent sections of the country. (b) In order to focus and direct CO., | operatively efforts to obtain better l conditions, more equitable treatment,
 more just reorganization for women in
 business and the professions the | country over.
 Co In order to gather and distri- bute information relative to voca- tional opportunities.
 (d) In order to bring about a | greater solidarity of feeling among
 women throughout the country and ultimately throughout the world. | It develops that all proposed clubs
 must be organized before the St. Louis convention, July IA to IS, if | they are to avail thmeslves of the privilege of becoming charter mem- | bers of the federation and of having
 a delegate with vote at said con- | vention.

RAINBOW EFFECTS.

Rainbow effects are much in vo- gue and there are rainbow weddings now at which the bridesmaids all appear in gowns of the same design, but each in a different hpA. And there are rainbow party dresses that are much in demand among the younger girls. But these rainbows are not always of the regulation sort. The people who plan them have a different color scheme.
 Take, for instance, a very charm ing rousseau set offered in one of the smart shops. It contains, aside from the usual supply of lingerie. so called, all sorts of dainties for the boudoir-chaise tongue cover, clothes hangers, shoe trees, cushions, bags, etc. These are developed in a rain- bow, that consists of pastel green, yellow, blue. ivory white and shell pink. Not a bad combination of col ors, to be sure, and perhaps under the circumstances better color scheme than natures own.

Household Hints

Very strong cold green tea sweet ened. when set about in saucers at tracts flies and destroys them.
 Glass vessels and other utensils may be purified and cleaned by rinsing them out with powdered charcoal.
 To prevent Q lamp from smoking. soak the wick fin strong vinegar and cry 1t well before you use it.
 To clean cane chairs. sponge them until soaked with soap and hot water.
 Never use soft butter or lard for pie crust Butter should be washed in cold water before using.
 Never use a large quantity of fla voring of any kind in baking. It spoils the delicacy of the cake or des- sert.
 When using dried or evaporated fruit in baking. a pinch of salt should be added, as this brings back the fla vor of the fresh fruit. The same rule governs canned fruits.
 If an oven bakes too quickly from the bottom set the baking tin upon another tin with a thick paper under 1t.
 Too much salt prevents or flinders bread from rising.

PARIS WOMEN WEAR
 SOCKS TO KEEP COOL

London, July S.-Certain women who pass for being elegant sprung a surprise among the morning prom enaders in the select portions of the Bois de Boulonge, Paris, by appearing without stockings. They have replac- ed the stockings by socks, which run only an inch or two above the shoes With summer weather in spring, the silk stocking Of the "elegantes" gen erally had become more diaphanous than ever, their transparency being increased with the intensity of the heat till it reached such a point that as it no longer yelled the limbs, the more audacious persons agreed that stockings might be dispensed with altogether. Besides, silk stockings are very dear. The opinion of the ven dors, however, is the fact that they are dear will kill the new fashion this, and the offence against good taste.
 Diligent students of the fashion barometer record that skirts have been shortened by several inches in the last three years. At Long champs races recently they were seen at their shortest. A feature of the toilettes was sort of wrap which suggested that the wearer had energ- ed from her bath. There was also a robe resembling the roomy panta- looms of a Zouave soldier.
 When we come to the masculine modes, it has to be said that, what ever may have been the fate of the silk hat in other countries, it has never passed into complete desuerude in France. But it's use Is no longer confined to ceremonious occasions Silk hats, some with brims without much curve, could be counted by hundreds at Longchamps

Ocean Millinery,

Ocean millinery is q new item that the shops seem to be doing quite little business in. This includes bath ing hats and caps of all kinds, and especially pretty for this use is the bandanna cap that is made of a boka square an Oriental cashmere. faced in a rubberized fabric. These are wound about the head in the same manner as the bandanna, and then, too. small hats are made of them, as the water will not harm them, for the reason that the colors are fast.

Brown Nadine Hats.

Many smart women about the ho- tels and even those who motor into town for afternoon tea, are showing preference for the large and medium size hat of maline in the dark brown shade. Some of these hats are trimmed in branches of par adise of the same color, while others show a simpler trimming. For in stance, one deep cioche shape that was transparent enough to show the hair and face plainly had the crown banked in large poppies made of the maline and finely wired around the edges.
