WOMEN'S NEW INTERESTS.

There is perhaps no surer way Of dis
covering Just how the interests and the
opportunities Of woman have broadened
in the last very few years than you can
get by study of the women's magazines.
The business woman is carefully con-
sidcred today IN these publications. Her
training, her chances of success, new
fields where she may try for positions,
these are exploited There are articles on
subjects that would never have been
touched upon five or SIX years ago, or even
two or three years ago.
Finance is another department that has
shown tremendous development in such
magazines. Women are learning TO man.
age their own funds, and when the women s
colleges run successful campaigns for
great sums, as they do now, and invest and
disburse such sums, the day when woman
was not supposed TO understand the
money market is indeed gone.
Naturally the coming of the vote to
women has brought lot of political
material into these pages. The work
women can do in politics, her responsi-
hllIties, clear expositions Of what the
different political parties stand Tor, these
are some of the directions IN which expan-
sion is shown. Women want to know a
whole lot Of things that they did not, as a
class. care about only short time ago.
And what women want they get.
There is hardly limit to what the we'll
trained, clever, ambitious girls may
expect of life in the way of service, in
teresting work, good income, inde-
pcndence, influence on the future of her
country, and a full home life. 1t is truly
up 70 her.

her old sweethearts passed she looked
over their heads as II she did not see

hat she was to have and the only Mr..
Frog in the pond who wore one.
When Mr.. Frog came To the side OF the

As no one had any old shoes. they
tossed after the bridal couple bits of bark

and dived to their home at the bottom

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

FOR AN OLD
- FASHIONED CONCERT

'sO4r Church Club rs going to give an
"Old-Fashioned Concert and we would
like you to help lis with the refrcshment
side of IT y writes reader OF this column.
"The women of tie club are going 10 be
dressed ia whatever old-tInc garb they
can find in their own and In friends attics;
and the men of the club are all hiring
Colonial costumes with silk knee breeches
and lace-hlled cuffs from ccstumer. We
are hiring a concert hall and shall all be
grouped on the stage, and our songs will,
of course, be the old-timers, such as
when You and ] Were Young Maggie,
and Robin Adair' Then we shall have
special numbers where two performers,
both In costume, come out and sing duet
and dance minuet The proceeds of the
entertainment will 60 to improvements
in the church. We shall Of course charge
for the refreshments (which will be served
In the hall after the concert as well as al
admission fee.
OF course the refreshments for such
an original and delightful entertainment
as this should consist of old-time dishes.
When great-grandmother was young she
made simple Frozen Custard for her
mothers guests-not the expensive and
much varied mixtures which we freeze
today and group under the head OF ice
cream" Yet Great Grandmother Frozen
Custard still tastes pretty good on hot
night In sumrnerl
Another thing that Great Grandmother
was famous for, was her Pound Cake"
Here is the recipe for this rich old cake:
Old-time Pound Cake-1 pound butter,
/ pound sugar, / pound flour, III eggs:
Mix the butter and sugar together. Add
the egg-yolks well beaten, then the whites,
and lastly the -four, Bake in a loaf-cake
tin.
AS will be noted, Great -Grandmothe
did not spare her eggsl Nor must those
who make the refreshments for this
entertainment, If they would really
initiate the culinary offerings Of their
ancestors--but they should charge ac-
cordingly: one piece of pound cake, con-
sidering the egg it contains, should BRING
a most generous figure. A small sign
stuck in an uncut pound cake on the
cake table, stating the number of eggs
the cake contained would cause quite
a little merriment-and bring monetary
results.
In Great Grandmother's day fruit
punches were extremely popular, and
/ would suggest selling some kind of
fruit punch along with the Frozen Gus
tard and the Pound Cake. Homemade
taffy eand pepper mints would also be
appropriate articles of food to offer for
sale
To my mind these few things which
] have mentioned are enough TO offer.
If there is an abundance Of these few
things and the price put upon one portion
OF each is high land for such good cause
as Church improvements, the price for
refreshments is legitimately high people
expect to be generous in such a cause)
the proceeds should be satisfactory.

The Price Of Wisd ON.

It was the evening of the second
day after Gavin Ord and his friend
Arthur Kenyon had dined together in
the Hotel Moskova at Bucharest. A
railway and twelve hours abuse OF its
tardiness had carried them stage
upon this journey. Willing Hungarian
ponies. mules, in whose eyes the mega
tive virtues might be read. brought
them to the foot Of the mountains and
left them there to camp with what
luxury they might. Attended by a
Capital. their escort boasted no less
than four heroes of the line-for this

determination. that they should not go

necessary to the expedition, he put up
