ALASKAN MANUFACTURERS

Ordinarily we do not consider Alaska q, great manu-
featuring territory. but the Bureau Of the Census reports
with 4 capital of IS million dollars. and m output Of ~
million dollars worth Of goods. This is no small output
for . territory, which. when it was purchased, many peo-
Pile thought would be dear as a gift.
The census report does not indicate the character
Of the enterprises which it cnumerates.. They include
however only those conducted under factory conditions,
eliminating hand trades, building tradeA and ~neishbor-
hood'industries, such as there may be. 1t is known how
ever, that the chief manufactured products of Alaska pro.
duced under factory conditions are those in the class Of
numbering and fisheries. Alaska is, of course. a territory
rich In lumber esrources, and while these have scarcely
been touched, there are several mills of considerable size
operating along the coast and turning out Z large guam
tity Of material. The Alaskan fisheries are becoming
more and more valuable. The salmon cannertss rather
from the sea and prepare for consumption all over this
continent immense quantities Of very valuable food. and
the output in this line will undoubtedly continue 70
increase for many years.
The entire territory is one OF whose possibilities
most Of US have little conception. There IL Z treat expanse,

God help the young men of this day,
when all the girls are going into business
or studying professions, and when every
other woman YOU meet knows all about
running an office, and nothing about
running a home, exclaimed an irate old
gentleman the other day.
What's going to happen to man 5
stomach when his wife has spent all of
her time learning how to make pot
hooks instead of manipulating pots
in the kitchen2 What sort of a home
body is woman going to make who has
been in the habit of putting on her hat
IN the morning and going downtown
to business like man? What interest
is woman going to take in making pies,
after she has been accustomed to pulling
of big trades as a crackerlack buyer, or
has had the whole affairs of an Office at
her fingers ends?
''Cynics may sneer all they please
at the picture of domestic little wife
meeting man at the door OF an evening
when he comes home from hard day S
work, and setting him down 10 n dinner
that means love, and thought, and work
and skill, but that is the ideal of home
that nine men out of ten cherish. 1t is
what they look forward TO attaining
when they get married, and it is what
they are not going to get when they
marry womea whose whole training has
been in Offices instead Of the kitchen.
''No wonder there is so much divorce,
and there is going to be more, as more
men with dyspepsia induced by their
wives bad cooking commit deeds of
violence upon the persons who have
lured them TO their doom. What this
country needs is more girls who are
learning TO make the kind of bread that
mother makes, and who are fitting them
selves to be wives instead OF lawyers,
and doctors, and female fnanciers." "
Wrong, all wrong" replied woman
who had been listening to the old mans
arrangement of the business girl, "The
kind of wife any woman makes any man
depends altogether on how much she
loves him and, therefore, how anxious
she is TO please him, and not upon how
much she knows, or her previous condi-
tion of servitude before marriage.
THE 50 called domestic woman is
often the most undomestic creature on
earth, while many a woman, whom fate
dooms to live in trunk and lead the life
OF tramp, has q soul that grovels and
worships before pots and pans. It's the
woman, and not her environment that
decides the kind of housekeeper she will
make.
''Of course, expert knowledge is a
valuable asset in any calling and ! am
not denying that it is highly desirable
that every girl should be good free
hand cook when she gets married and
takes her husbands stomach into her
keeping, so to speak. If mothers were
worth shucks and did their duty by
their daughters, every girl would have
mastered at least the rudiments of the
fine art of cookery by the time she was
twelve years old, and long before she

A sERPENTINE CREPE
LUNCHEON SET

Several Of my readers have written TO
ask me to print an occasional needle work
article. So in the future | will comply
with this request.
| Today | will describe one Of the new
serpentine crepe luncheon sets that are
all the rage. These are dainty and
| yet are a wonderful help TO busy house
Keeper because they require no ironing
after washing.
This set consists Of cepterpiece and
six doilies (you can also make six nap
kins, If you wish. in the same way, only
making them little smaller than the
doilies). White scrpentinc crepo comes
50 inches wido, so the ce1tcrpiece is
thirty by thirty inches square and the
tloilies are fifteen inches square two can
be gotten out of the width Of the Mater
ial) You will need two and onc-eighth
yards for this set Thirty inches the length
Of the material for the centerpiece,
and fifteen more inches the length Of the
material for each of the three pairs Of
loiliesl. This cotton crepe costs any
where from 20c yard to o2c, according
to the locality in which it is bought.
Beside this material you viii need
ab ut 6 ei Of eit er m ,eri cd silk
or reA silt floss OF arious colors, aad
one Of the transfer designs" gotten out
by pattern firms. These transfer pat
torns come in flower designs, butterfly
designs, and in hosts OF other designs;
they are stamped on tho material by
placing the pattern ink side down on
the crepe and running q moderately
warm iron over the pattern paper. You
will want a small design in ono corner
Of c:-5 Of thessix doilies and slightly
larger design in one corner Of the center
piece (both large and small repetitions
Of the same design come on these pat
terns).
After buying your crepe material, how
ever, the first step is not to stamp it; the
first step after cutting it into the center
piece and six doilies, is 10 fringe these
squares. The fringe runs all around each
square and is about three-quarters Of an
ZACH deep. Do the fringing with PIN.
Tho selvidte edge must be cut of to al
low fringing. Although the fringe OF this
luncheon set does not fray out~-even
after many launderings nevertheless
many women prefer to guard against
fraying by overhanding the material in
white floss, or fine white cotton thread,
just at the top Of the fringe.
Now that you have your center piece
and six doilies fringcd, you can go to
work stamping them. Then comes the
last step, embroidering them. II you
hsve chosen butterfly pattern ] would
advise you to make the circles inside the
, wings yellow, and the border Of the
wings a different color with each napkin,
in this way, the yellow spots represent
the golden spots on aareal butterfly 3
wings, and vet the other colors Lavender,
blue, old-rose, etcetera) may be intro
duced on the d different doilies with the
gold note the olly thing to make them
| similar.
If any reader wishes to know the adj
dress of a pattern house from which she
can purchase in Autumn needlework cat

pictures Of transfer patterns which she

you are too late in fulfilling your part Of
the agreement"
He spoke with some embarrassment,
and began to see why. lnasmuch rs he
had been at Clochonne but little more
than one day, no more time had passed
than would have been necessary for the
arrangement of the ambush. Therefore it
could not be honestly held that she had
been tardy in fulfilling her mission: that
is to say, when he told her that she was
too late, he lied, Hence his embarrass
ment, for he was gentleman. Now
why did he put forth this false pretext
of hardness on her part?
Too late in fulfilling your part Of the
agreement" said the governor.
Il came, monsieur, said mademoisele
needless of the lie and the apparent al
tempt TO put her at fault, "to be released
from my agreement"
Montignsc looked surprised, then dis
pleased. La Chatre appeared relieved,
but astonished. <
Released, mademoiselle?" he ex
claimed, assuming too late a kind of
virtuous displeasure to cover his real
satisfaction,

was out of high school she would have
acquired the frills and be able 20 qualify
as blue ribbon chef
Unfortunately, most mothers are too
lazy to teach their girls how to cook, or
too tender to them TO make them do any
housework, so the average girl, whether
she goes into business, or goes into
society, is equally ignorant when she
marries of all the things she ought to
know about home making. Ii is then
up TO the individual woman to prove
herself. Anybody who can read cook
book, and who has the desire to do so can
become skilled cook in three months.
Any woman not congenial idiot, can
keep a house clean and orderly. Any
woman who can add two and two to-
gether can run a budget, and therefore,
as between the unframed home girl, and
the trained buiness girl, the business girl
is the best bet for any young man who
wants q thrifty, domestic wife.
She IS accustomed to bringing all OF
her intelligence to bear on the problem
in hand, and when that problem is
learning how TO keep house, she will
master it. She has been trained to be
orderly and efficient, and prompt, and
believe me, those qualities count for
| just as much in home as they do in an
Office. She has known how hard dollars
come by having earned them herself,
and she will not waste her husband s
money.
'She will make home loving woman
because the thing we all most desire is
the thing we haven't had. A little two
| by four fat, and real kitchen, with real
food In it TO cook, looks like Heaven itseli
to a girl who has lived in hall bedroom
and eaten out of paper bags and tin cans
and plugged up the key hole so the land
lady couldn't smell the odor while she
cooked messes over the gas jet.
Cooking is great adventure TO such
a girl. 1t is the pursuit of one OF the fine
arts, whereas all domestic labor i:

had TO understudy mother in the kitchen

away from the gas range, and into res

men who married their cooks in order to
permanently retain these household
treasures, but ] have never known a
single case in which the cook didn't
cease to cook, and put some other woman
into her job as soon as she got her mar
rlage certificate framed.
Believe me, the man who marries a
business woman stands just as good a
chance of getting a domestic wife as he
would if he married the girl who is sup
posed to be mothers little helper, even if
she isn't, and in addition, he gets wife
who win give him an understanding,
sympathy, and show 10 him forebear

woman is incapable
