CARE FOR YOUR UTENSILS.

There are doubtless Certain old world
housewives who derive a real pleasure
from keeping all their pots and pans shin
ing ike the sun that IS commensurate
with the amount Of toll that this involves.
There is little diversion IN their lives and
perhaps they are not educated or temper
mentally able to enjoy books and nature
and the host of things that beckon the
average American housewife and make
her wish 70 make as short as possible of
kitchen drldgery So if one housewife
wants to spend half hour p0llshln one
kitchen pan while ten minutes would have
rendered It quite clean and spotless
you must not condemn her until you ascer-
tain whether she has not really enjoyed
that work enough to make It worth while.
But whether or not YOU keep all your
utensils shining like the sun you should
keep them all free from dirt. Ordinary
utensils should be boiled out occasionally
in washing soda, and aluminium may be
rubbed up with vinegar or boiled IN a
We / vinegar solution. Steel knives should
be secured But it is not necessary TO
keep the tarnish off tin pans, for they are
Just as clean when they are discolored as
when they are kept with their pristine
hrilliance, Moreover it is said that this
coat of discoloration protects the metal
beneath.
If YOU cook on a wood fire then the
problem Of keeping the outside if uter-
sils free from black may be hard one
and you are perhaps sometimes justified
in not washing the outside of frying
pan as thoroughly as the inside. But
few housewives now have TO cook on wood
fires and there is very little blackening
from coal fires. If your gas stove makes
your dishes black on the bottom this
may be due to the fact that the gas that |
you are supplied with is inferior or it may
be more likely that there is something the |
matter with the valve on the gas burner. !
If the gas company viii not send some
,ne to adjust this it is worth while TO |
pay for the time of an expert while he |
adjusts the burners and puts the stove |
u the right condition

DETERMINE TRAITS
FOR IDEAL MARRIAGE

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 25.-Wealth
and fame are classed as non-essentials
for happy marriage in measuring
test to value certain Iaits and achieve
nfents of a potential husband or wife
made by the thirty-one men and women
students of Dr. Edwin l.. Clark's class
in sociology at Ohio State University.
Fundamental virtues far outshone social
accomplishments, and business was most
highly appraised as the occupation of an
ideal husband, by the co-cds, while the
men students declared almost unani-
mously that capability for self-support
made tho most ideal wife.
Physical attractiveness In both sexes
was marked most desirable, but neither
men nor women students declared facial
beauty of more than moderate value.
The list of qualifications voted on was
formulated by members Of the class
They were marked in order as absolute
" essential, highly valued, moderately
valued, slightly valued and indifferently
regarded, with corresponding negative
values.
With few exeptions, men and women
placed the same value on like characters
tics. Among physical qualifications, the
essentials chosen were being of the
same race; sound family stock; good
health and physical attractiveness. Near
ness of age WAS regarded as non-essen-
tial, but of high value. Nearness of
height and weight We're called of slight
Importance.
In marking mental traits both sexes
classed the following as absolute essen
tials: Affection, intelligence, desire for
and love of children. Comradeship was
also considered an essential in the ideal
husband, but only moderately valued in
the wife.
In the order of points given to them,
high values We're put on interesting per-
sonality; strength of WILL interest in
partners work; domesticity; refinement
of manner; taste In dress, dignity, op-
timism, humor, harmony of tastes and
executive ability.
Men showed greater appreciation of
keenness than was registered in the
qualifications for an ideal husband.
Enjoyment of music was ranked higher
than that of literature or art by both
sexes. Fondness for dancing and cards
was regarded with practically total in
difference.
High value was placed on possessing
the same degree of education, which
should consist of at least a high school
training. Men students said that good
housekeeping and ability to care for
and train children were absolutely es-
sential in wife.
Instead of desiring wealth or fame in
husband the woman students said that
a good provider was all that was neces-
sary for them. Sincerity, honesty, fair
mindedness, truthfulness and whole
someness in thought and action were
absolutely essential moral traits for
upon religious ideals, industry, good
temper, manly and womanly strength,
self-control, sympathy, economy, cheer
fulness, frankness and loyalty.

Mrs. Edward T. Hutton, wife Of the New

ference with her butler as 70 what was 20
be done To keep her servants amused at
the huge camp in the woods.
The butler ventured to inquire il Mrs.
Hutton had ever read. or seen acted
Barrie's Admirable Crichton." Mrs.
Hutton was forced 10 admit that she had
seen only the screen version, hat the sug-
gestion opened up great light. Mrs. Hut
ton decided TO turn over the entire camp
for one night 70 her servants. and last
night was the fateful night. Her servants
were gwen carte blanche TO invite all
their friends TO a dance and supper last
night at Camp Good Hope, and over 80
mattresses, bellhops, chauffeurs, boatmen
and every other variety Of the class who
come TO the Adirondacks TO work, not to
play, were on hand in their best raiulent
for the festivities, which were held IN the
big hall over the boat house. Dancing

The excitement Of the evening was so
much for an upstate college boy who
worked as a bus boy in the Paul Smith
Hotel, that he posposed TO a waitress on
the way home in boat and was promptly
accepted. This morning he went IN Sara
nae and returned with an engagement
ring.

life that centres around Paul Smiths
Mrs. Hutton was formerly Mrs. Flagle
Post, and inherited something like $780,
900, 900 from her father, who died few
years ago st Battle Creek, Mich. The
Huttons make their home at the Hotel
Plaza. The party given by Mrs. Hutton is
likely TO be frequently initiated before the
season ends, as it is very difficult TO hold
servants in the Adirondaeks, particularly
n the camps, miles from the nearest movie

Her summer garments gay
With wear and weather too will be
Decidedly passe;

And with her scissors sharp and long
Will cut away the back,
And on the short and scanty skirt
A silver rose will tack.
Then with her spine and shoulders still
A fetching shade of brown,
She'll play around the cabarets,
And not girl in town

And chic an evening gown.

Can be Quickly Removed

Hairs can be easily banished from the
under-arms, neck and face by this quick,
painless method: Mix into stiff paste
some powdered delatone and water,
spread on hairy surface and in 2 or 8
minutes rub off, wash the skin and it
will be free from hair or blemish. Ex-
cepting in very stubborn growths, one ap-
plication is sufficient To avoid disap-
pointment, buy the delatone in an original

Too bad for the fun the men meant to
have in watching the women enthuse
over being able to vote! The strange
creatures don't seem a bit excited over
this jump into the big world game. OF
course the real working suffragists are
happy but it is not an excited happiness;
it is just the quiet, pleasant feeling that
comes when YOU believe you have done a
good Job well; like cleaning house, or
putting up Jam, or pulling the baby
through the measles. You feel the coun-
try's saved, and you've helped saxe it.
The kilograms from prominent women
everywhere, expressed happiness, but not
elation Olive Shreiner, Lady Astor,
Ellen Key, leading women thinkers all
over the world, sent messages to Nashville.
All of them struck the keynote OF pleasure
in work well done.
Workers in the suffrage cause may well
feel happy, now the turmoil of the fight is
over But they are not excited. They
know exactly what they mean to do, and
they mean to do it we'll They are going
10 make their support to their govern
ment earnest and effective. Not to shut
out the pretty things of life because they
have additional responsibilities to bear,
will be the desire of thinking, voting
women. They hope to enrich their COM
munities through the additional insight
afforded by the woman's vote. And
they're going to have some fun In doing 1t.
They don't propose to take themselves
quite as seriously as the men have al
ways done. If politics is a dirty game"
they're going to kelp ''clean up" and to
make nice, big community playground OF
