Tho question of divorce could bo solved If tho more important cjiies tion of marriage wero properly settled Urst. Thoro would bo ns few divorces In the United Stntea as there are In Europe If the samo safegunrdB which protect marriage In the older coun tries woro thrown around nmrrlngo In this country. A uniform marrlngo law Ib more noeded In the United States than a uniform divorco law It is tho ossnntlrtl preliminary to any effective handling of the divorco prob lem. Divorces in this country would bo roduced In number by two-thirds if, as Is tho law in Unglund, no mar rlago could tnks place until tho banns have been published for throe weeks If no girl cuuld marry without her parents' consent until sho wns twenty-one years old. Tho raimcs allowed for the granting of divorco In Illinois are all reasonable says tho Chicago Tribune. Incurable insanity should bo a cnutio for divorco. Cortaln dis eases should bo sufllclent causo, as well a; Incurablo diseases concoalcd before marrlago, Tho English divorco commission haB recommended the rec ognition of theso throe cuuhoh. It tho Illinois commission on uniform di vorco nnd marriage laws will tako tho Divorce Beast by the horns and not by tho tall thero will ba a much bettor chanco of mitigating tho divorce evil. It is natural that a people as scrup ulously regardful of their attire as tho Parisians should bo tho Ilrst to sot thomselvcs seriously to tho solution of tho problem of preventing tho be spattering of podestrlnns by automo biles. Flying mud mixed with motor oil makes a stain that novcr comeH iff. A series of experiments has boon hold at Versailles to dotormlno the comparative value of different devices Intended to act as mudguards for tho protection of pooplo walking in tho strcpts as well as of tho occupants of tho automobiles to which they aro attached. Tho world at largo Is con corned In tho result of theBo experi ments, for undoubtedly when tho most effective mudguard is discovered and demonstrated It will como into uso throughout tho world at large. A Now York hotel, ono of tho promt nont oneB of that city, has a scheme which it has Just put in operation by which It hopes to solvo tho tipping ideation. Tho manngomont has do elded to mako a reduction of 10 por cent i on all checks of moro than CO cento, a roductlon suppoBodly equiva lent to tho avorago tip. This act will rollovo guests of tho nccosfllty of pay ing twice for service This probably 1b tho best scheme yet prcuontcd as a solution to tho tipping ovll. It U sane, and whllo assuming that a ma jority of gucBts would rcsout u request not to tip wnltorH nnd recognizing that it would bo ,an Impossibility to en force nn ordor to prevent waiters from accepting tips, tho mnnagomunt has takon tho dlgnlllod way out of tho dlillculty. Tho building of "biggest" steam ships having paBscd tho slzo whoro tho dockB nt New York aro too small for them has now roachod tho dimen sions whero tho Clydo Ib too small to launch them. Tho Cunardor Aqultnl nla has been hold on tho stocks until they could deopen tho river enough to float hor, Which lndlcntoa that we aro approaching tho MxnlL A judge In Now York told a man arraigned before him for sentonco for abduction that ho was unfit to Uvo and Immediately sentenced him to a mnxtmum term of seven nnd a halt ymrs In prison. In matching what la with what ought to be tho law some times makes itself something of a farce. Ladybugn aro being gathered In California to bavo tho cnntoloupo crop by devouring tho Insects which prey jpon tho latter. At least, this Is ono ItiBtnnco where mascullno ingenuity tins turned to odvnntugo tho fomlulne InBtinct for dcstructlvcness. A womnn authority on tho question pays thero cannot bo nn Idoal husband without an Ideal wifo. This dictum will probably go fnr toward nettling the vexed question, aa It makos tho argument too personal to bo plcuaunt. Brainless people never are Insano, says a scientist. On tho basis that whatever happens, they don't mind. Columbus, O., farmers aro trying to eccuro a law enforcing all pcdostrluns lo curry lanterns on their coat tails utter dark as a revenge agulnst uu tolsts who demand the samo of mov Ins vehicles. Making light ot tho sub ject all around. It Is announced that China needs money. Outsldo of u very few tho boIo oppression of whoso lives Ib tho tear of dying rich, China but tiiarcB the universal need Something moro than a mcro deslro for change has brought about tho use of whlto for those In mourning. It is tho expression of n changing at titude of tho mind toward this mat ter of mourning apparol. Whlto Is not somber or oppresslvo to others and thoroforo will mako tho most un obtruBlvo mourning. For tho paBt three seasons blnclc hats of crape (or othor fabrics trimmed with crapo) havo boon dupllcntod In whlto nnd it Is probablo that tho ldoa has boon well recolvod becnuso tho most nu tliorltntlvo Bliops contlnuo to show whlto mourning. For tho summer season volls aro made of net bordered with crape. TIiobo for first mourning nro lnrgo but cool nnd light, nevertheless. Tho very lnrgo, coarso mesh with wldo crapo border, either In black or white, can bo worn without any Incon venience. It Is probablo that whlto crapo and other mourning fabrics In whlto will mako rapid progress In populnr favor now that they nro well VISITING DRESS Our model Is In gray faco cloth. Tho skirt Is draped nt back and front up to tho loft sldo, whero a lnrgo braided button Is sewn; ubovo this at front braiding Is used to odgo tho sldo, also tho sides of bodice, which rest on tho silk wnUtcoat. A fold of blnclc satin Is taken ucross tho vost, which forms a "V" over tho loco chemisette; tho collar nnd uppor part of bIoovcb nro braldod. A black satin bow Is sown nt tho back of nock nnd waistband, Hat of black natlu, trimmed with n feather mount. MntorlalB required: G yards cloth 48 Inches wldo, 1 dozen yards braid, i ynrd silk 'JO IncheB wide, yard laco 18 Inches wide. Perfused Corset Bags a Novelty. Many women prefer to keep tholr cornets over night la long and narrow bags thickly wadded and scented. Theso receptacles nro mado of all man. nor of dainty fabrics, but aro most substantial In plain sattu or heavy cortfed Bilk, haud-palutod or hand-om-Jiroldcrcd nnd docoratod with old French prints framed with tinsel laco. -Jammm2sXMtfL' BbFvx IfjMjIliJIMlss Introduced. Whlto crape Is a very beautiful fabric and the process of water proofing to which English crapo Is subjected has mado It prac tlcal. A turban and veil aro pictured horo developed In whlto. Tho turban Is of cropo Georgotto with veil of rich not bordered with whlto English crapo. Thoro is no trimming on the turban but tho crapo border on tho veil pinned to tho front ot tho turban nnd turned back provides a beautiful decoration. Almost a duplicate of this model h shown in blnck. Theso lervo to domonstrnto that It Is now simply a matter of cholco between black nnd whlto mourning. Tho Introduction of crapo In tho body of tho hat or In tho veil or trimming Is significant of mourning and makos theso modclH appropriate for flrat or deep mourn ing. Crapo Is tho only fabric every where acknowledged as correct for this purpose. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. SERVICE AT AFTERNOON TEA Flower Basket to Hold the Cakes Is One of the Best of the Ideas Recently Evolved. For tho woman who loves a cup of tea In tho afternoon and who also likes a small cooklo or cheeso crackor or Bomo such tld-blt to nibblo while sipping her tea, thoro is n now sug gestion In thq way of serving tho wa fers nnd cakes. Often oven a sundwlch plato will bo too small to hold as many crnckers as aro needed when three or four friends drop In for a cup of tea and gossip, and for this n flower baskot, tho stylo that Is flat with a tall handle, gonernlly used for tho garden when picking flowers, is just tho thing, for it holds a 'most surprising number of cakes, and In this way ono can easily pass a largo number ot tld-blts at ono time without tho least Inconvenience, and for crackers, decorated with jelly and cheese nnd such edibles us cannot bo laid on top of each other, this flat basket Is unsurpassed. Pink Crepe Skirts. Negligees and petticoats matching nro everywhero to bo hnd In pink crepo do chlno; ono perfectly plain ono unllned, with very scant elbow sleeves, Is finished with tho border ot whlto older down; it la priced at ?7,95, and could bo mado moro suc cessfully for about halt tho amount at homo. Another model Is of pink char mouse, draped with whlto chiffon and trimmed with n rover effect in shadow lace, which is caught in with n ros fctto of tho chiffon at ono sldo of tho skirt, but this gown is Bpollod by a flowered whlto satin girdle. For thoso who euro to dress n little out of tho ordinary run of apparol thoro is a boudoir gown of greenish yellow near ly of mustnrd tone. Its mnterlnl is crepo do chlno, and, of courso, stock ings of silk and garters of satin, and tho petticoat Is to bo hnd matching. Almost all tho boudoir Blips nro ot clear whlto luce. A woman may mako horselt very charming In tho present styles In hor boudoir. Platinum Jewelry. A now and luxurious purso has tho mesh of woven pearls Incrustod with diamonds delicately set In platinum Gold purses In now shnpes nro also mado ot this samo mesh do luxo. One worthy of mention was hoxlgon simp ed, hold by a tiny platinum chair with a diamond and pearl Incrusted ring Intended to bo slipped over the linger. Tho pattern on each sldo of tho bai represented a bit of bead embrolder In bright colors, precious stones being substituted for tho beads. Tulle and Brocades Combined.

NUTS IN COMBINATION. Add a fow chopped hazel nuts or filberts to the ext custard pie, and bco what a delicious combination It makes. Nuts and broad brumbs used for stuffing of peppers, tomatoes or onions will tako the placo of meat most satisfactorily. Peanuts and Rice. Take two cups of well salted and cooked rice; whllo hot stir In a cup of peanut butter, a cup of cracker crumbs, a half cupful of milk, and two eggs well beaten. Shape In a rounding loaf and place in a well buttered pan. 15ako until a nice brown, and serve hot vlth parsley. This is a most delicious loaf for chil dren or any ono who does not eat meat. Nuts witli apples or cabbage, In fact with any fruit or vegetable, makes a good sulad. Walnut Loaf. Tako a cup of chopped walnut meats, four cups of bread crumbs, one hard cooked egg chopped, ono beaten egg, one onion grated, salt and sago to taste, with suf ficient milk or water to moisten the mixture. This loaf may bo served cither hot or cold. Mix and mold, and bake in a well buttered bread pan. Walnut Croquettes. Mix together a cup of walnut meats, a cup of cooked rice or hominy, a bit of green pepper chopped, ono egg well beaten and seasoning to taste. Milk may bo added If needed for moisture. Mold Into neat croquettes and fry In deep fat. Almond Cookies.

Iluskln. SUNDAY NIGHT TEA. A dainty nnd nice little salad to pre pare for a night luqch is dates and cottage cheese. Tho cheese should bo woll seasoned and arranged on lettuce leaves, with three or four dates care fully stoned and washed and nrranged on tho cheese. No salad dressing will bo needed with such a salad. Figs and nuts ground together In a food chopper und seasoned with a bit ot salt and moistened with a ta blespoonful of cream makeB n flno till ing for sandwiches. For a refreshing Bprlng sandwich nothing tastes better than sliced cucumbers with n bit of onion juice and lemon on bread and butter. "Chopped green onions, seasoned with oil, vinegar and salt, mako an other good sandwich filling. A cup of hot cocoa on a chilly night Is most ac coptable, and with a salad Is enough for a simple meal. After a lato heavy Sunday dinner, a very light lunch Is best. For those who aro not satisfied with that, a heavier dish, such ns sliced roast of beef with Mexican or Spanish sauce, or an escnlloped dish of eggs, muca ronnl and cheese and white snuco will be found qulto satisfying enough. Milk toast, made of nicely tonsted and buttered bread und a white sauce of rich milk or thin cream, Is an espe cially good supper for little people, A hot soup on a cold night warms one and Is a good beginning for a light supper.. For older ones tho addition of grated cheeso will bo pleasing, nnd they will not find It hard of digestion. Small cakes of many kinds, with a dish ot canned fruit, Is another good nccompanlment with other things for a supper. Spong cukos cut open and filled with sweetened and ilavored whipped cream are never refused by old or young, and this is one cuke tho young- Balzac's Copy. Tho prolongation of tho Ruo do HenucB on tho left'b&nk of tho Seine, at I'arls, France, has already con demned tho famous Passage du Pont Neuf, described by Zola In "Thereso Haqutn," and it now seemB that tho bouse In which Balzac Installed his printing ofllco In the Rue Vlscontl, or tho Ituo des Mnrals, as It then wns, Ib also doomed.

SUGGESTIVE IDEAS AND RECIPES. In all of our cooking schools today the young people nro taught to uso utensils always Instead of fingers in the cooking. We all like to feel thnt our food has been prepared in the most scrupulous manner. Tho spatula or flexible kniro has taken away tho time-honored custom of scraping out bowls and dishes with the Index fin ger. Tho fear of spreading disease, and a knowledge of germs haB mado us all moro careful of putting our hands into our cooking. The linger nails, with tho best of common care, cannot bo immaculate, and tho pores of tho skin aro largo enough to harbor whole congregations of bacteria. This agitation for care of food Is not fin Icklness, but Is recognized by all thinking people as a necessity for decent living. When cooking tho fresh, new green pens, they are greatly Improved by tho addition of a teaspoonful of sugar to tho water when boiling them. Sweet corn, sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips, and beotB, whon not very sweet, are improved by tho addition of a tea spoonful of sugar to the water when cooking. Clear tomato soup may bo bought In cans, and one may havo a fow ot theso on tho emergency shelf to mako tomato sauce of, adding the seasonings desired, with the thickening of butter nnd flour. If needed. This Is a great saving ot time, and a half a can will be a generous supply for a sauce. Baked Kippered Herring. Wipe two kippered herrings, lay on a board and rub well with pepper, salt and cloves. Put them Into a buttered baking dish, cover with vinegar, add a bay leaf, cover with buttered paper and bako In a moderate oven twenty minutes. Springtime brings tho appetizing horseradish, which is such an addition to any dinner. Served with steak or fish it makes a sauco most accepta ble. In Balzac's manuscripts. "A composi tor did his hour ot Balzac as a con vict did his imprisonment," wrote Champfluery. Tho stupendous task ot sotting up Balzac's manuscripts Is shown by tho fact that "Cesar Blrot teau" had to bo recomposcd fifteen times In twenty dnys.
