If people would only get married they would. In nine cases out j of ten. live happily ever after, where- ! as tf chey wait they end in parting.” This unusual point of view is taken : by Mrs. York Miller, the Anglo-Ameri can au horess. She was discussing a recently de cided case in which a girl sued a man j for breach of promise after being en zaged to him for sis years. Nearly all ti at time they were happy and then came a breaking off of the engage ment, with subsequent damages against the defendant. 'They should elope and get mar ried." she said, “it is the way to be happy And people should not have long engagements. The time of the engagement is a trying period that wears out the patience and results in | boredom and separation.

' He seems to be a very busy man.’* That's true, but you will notice that he never forgets where he puts Us pipe." / For Vacation Time mtOW that vacation time approaches Hi the heart begins to long for a lit tle journey and the mind busies itself with preparing the way. Travel ing in America ought to be a pleasure, and Is, to those who know bow to make the most of all our modern traveling conveniences, writes Julia Bottomley in the Illustrated Milliner. What with parlor cars, dining cars and sleeping cars, good ventilation. Just-shielded windows, comfortable chairs and competent service, a jour ney is a recreation and rest. People no longer burden themselves with a lot of luggage, but think out how they may get along with as little as pos sible. This Is especially true if the trip is to be a long one and sight seeing its object. The first thing that engages the mind of the feminine traveler is, of course, the matter of her traveling costume and this article will concern ii-seif with something of that. Although we •ant ga-b ourselves like Miss Phoebe Snow, ‘All clad in v.’-ite, etc.” we can count upon p& little Oust on our journey as on the average shopping excursion. Our millinery is thoroughly protected, be cause paper bags are provided by the porter and hats consigned to the rack from start to finish of the average trip. No dust can reach them. For traveling, a plain, well-tailored cloth gown of serge, mohair, covert cloth, fancy suiting or other hard finished fabric, is the proper garb. It cannot be too plainly made and must be well tailored—that is it must have good lining and interlining and be correctly fitted and finished. Such a gown cannot be outclassed. The fabric should be shrunk before it is made up and It is obviously better to select a waterproofed material than any other when buying. If cir cumstances compel you to economize on your outfit, remember that it is economy to buy good material for your tailored dress and to have it made right It goes without saying that the hat should be pretty because all millinery should be that. It should be large enough to shade the eyes and small enough to keep out of other people's way. It need not be severely plain, and may even indulge in the charm of flowers for a moderate amount of traveling. It must have style. Three fine examples are given here of street j hats suited to this purpose. Street shoes and gloves made fot service and well fitted are in keep ing with gown and hat. Tan is the best color and one may wear a veil ! to match and carry a bag of the same useful and bright color. The shirtwaist or blouse may be either of silk or a wash material. A light-weight silk is most economical for long journeys. Fresh jabots and i stock collars make it possible to look ; immaculate at the end of the journey 1 I SIMPLE LITTLE WAIST. This simple waist Is of light blue armure silk, trimmed with bands of white silk set on with fagoting and ornamented with little gold buttons and loops of cord. The collar and cuffs are of em broidered linon finished with little ruffles of the same. The Mannish Blouse. The mannish blouse is not to be dispensed with in the wardrobe of the well-dressed girl. It is well to have some of silk, and remember that it is economy in the end to get a good quality. Get a china silk that is really good and it will outlast three shirts in an inferior quality. There is an excellent variety that comes at $1.25 in a thirty-six-inch width. It is light and cool and yet of enough substance not to be transparent. Oatmeal ac a Cleaner. Oatmeal is a safe remedy for soiled suede gloves in white, pale tan or gray shades. To clean the gloves draw them on and plunge the hands in a small basin of oatmeal, rubbing them well, especially the finger tips, the knuckles and wrists, with the meal, and scrubbing the more soiled por tions with a clean nail brush. Final ly, t^hey should be dusted with a piece of soft flannel. Wash leather gloves require yellow soap and water, the lat ter warm but not too hot. They should be dried on the hands or on wooden trees, in the sun or close to the fire. Like flannels, the quicker they dry the better. OW Night Gowns for Dress Covers. I have for a long time used old muslin night gowns as covers for my best dresses when they hang in the closet. They are easier to get off and on than bags, and cover the gown quite as well. Hang the dress first on a coat or skirt hanger, then cover it with the night gown, button ing the latter to keep it from falling. —Chicago Inter Ocean. TO WEAR ON TAILORED HA1 Quill Trimming, Arranged Artistically Is Sure to Find Favor With Smart Dressers. Coming back into prominence and i feminine again after an absence of several seasons, is the quill or feather trimming. It is very stunning when properly used on tailored chapeaux and gives its wearer a very trim and jaunty appearance. One stunning model noted recentlj was of rough black straw, with the fashionable high crown and the equal ly fashionable rolling brim. It was quite plain and bare of any adorn ment. save two great quills which slanted upright, starting from the back. These were of the new coral shade, changing from a vivid coral in the center to deeper, almost black hue on the edge. And they gave just the note of color and air of jauntiness w hich the hat needed to make it dis ; tinctly chic. Use Men’s Shirt Sets. Girls are turning to account the smart shirt buttons in oolored enamels that come for men’s shirts. They are ! usually six sold to a set. These buttons have a link to thrust through the eyelet and are held by a patent fastener. When a girl uses them she works eyelets instead of button-holes in front of her waist and in the cufTs. Sometimes the buttons are all used at the back. Some have colored enamel centers with a rim of striped two-toned gold; others of solid enamel in delicate tones with a design of gold; again there are centers of barred enamel with a plain rim in a deeper tone or of a deep ecru enamel with a colored J | rim. Millinery Help. To rejuvenate last year’s violets shake all the dust out of the discard ed bunches which adorned last year's hats, and even the most forlorn and faded will respond to the magic touch of the paint ^rush. Separate them and apply a touch of water color to each petal. The result Is highly satis factory. When dry mass them togeth er with several green leaves, which also have been "touched up," tie with a strand of tulle or a cord of purple silk and the violets are as good as new. Gift for the New Baby. .A pretty and sensible gift for the new baby Is a knitted protector set, which includes blanket, sweater, bon net and stockings. All of these are hand knit, or may be crocheted In stead, if desired. For these wool is used, which is especially suitable for this purpose giving the greatest possible warmtt without weight. A simple stitch ii used and the garments are well shap ed, the bootie and stocking combine* being shaped over the knees and need ing no confining ribbons. EASY TO MAKE CANDIED PEEL — Delicious Confection Prepared at Home Far Better Than Can Be Bought. Orange skins (generally considered useless) can be used in two ways that will give much pleasure. Any girl who wants to have something a little out of the common for a luncheon party, or who wants to make a very small gift, but one that shows some real work of her own. can accomplish either object by making candied orange peel. Not by buying it at the confectioner’s, where plenty of it is sold, but by doing !t herself. The candied orange peel made at home and used while fresh is so far su perior to that one can buy that it seems like quite another thing. It can be made of the skin of an orange that has been pesled and used in any way, but rather a smooth skin should be chosen, truf it must be used before it becomes at alt hard and dry. The first thing u> do is to scrape ofl with a knife as much as possible of the white inner skin. Keep on scrap ing until the skin Is quite thin and the back shows the yellow. Then cut the pieces of skin into strips one quar ter of an inch wide and from one and a half to two inches long. Now comes the cooking, which is done in the following manner: In a small saucepan full of water dissolve three tablespoonfuls of sugar and put in your strips of peel. Boll them un till the water bolls away, leaving a thick svrup. During the latter part of this process it must be carefully watched and stirred to prevent burn ing. Next take the peel from the saucepan and roll it in powdered sugar; then put the pieces on plates tc dry, not piled up, but in single layers. The orange peel is best on the first or second day after it is made, and it must be used within a week or it will grow too hard. A dainty box filled with this orange peel makes a very attractive gift, or. if one is sending some really handsome box (a silver one or an enamel or carved one), an added pleasure will be given by fill ing it with candied orange peel made by the giver. ELECTRICITY IN THE KITCHEN Combination Oven and Warming Plat* That Surely la a Boon to the Housewife. In using gas. it is usually difficult to obtain the heat other than in an upward direction, even though this may not always be the most desirable for the purpose at hand. Most of the Oven Door Used as Warming Plate gas stoves used in kitchens show this limitation and the makers of electric heating devices have been delighted ai being unhampered by this objections ble feature. With electric ovens ci stoves the heating element can be placed In any position or location that may seem best suited for the cook ing to be dene by it and it may ever be movable. An interesting illustra j tion of this is found iu a new electric oven offered by a Scotch firm which has the heating element fastened tc one side of the oven. When the oven is not needed, this whole side of the oven can be swung outward to form a heating plate for use with teakettle coffee pots, or the like. Such a change would be manifestly Impossible with any gas heated device, yet it is bu' one of the wide range of new com binations which electricity is bring ing to our kitchens.—Popular Me chanics.

PRACTICAL WOOL RECEPTACLE . ATTRACTIVE IN APPEARANCE Details Given Herewith for Construction of Inexpensive Box for Packing Fleece So That None of Black Ends Will Show and Keep It Regular and Compact —Any Farmer Can Make One. ” Closed A Wool Box. There are several kinds of wool boxes used by growers In tying up fleece wools, but the following shows ; a cheap, practical box that can be eas ily made by any farmer who can use a saw, square and screwdriver, writes Roscoe Wood in the Breeders' Ga sette. Take three 1-Inch boards two feet long anl one foot wide, clear pine, or, what is better, oak or walnut; they should be planed and smoothed so that they are about seven-eighths inch thick and 11 inches wide. Saw one of these boards into three pieces, one, D. 12 V* inches long, the other two, C and E, 11 inches long. Fasten each of the shorter pieces to each end of the piece D wi{h strong iron hinges, which should be set into the board so | that when opened the boards lie close together. Then on the sides of the ; piece D fasten the 3-foot pieces, A and B, one on each side, in like manner, placing these hinges so that these four boards will raise and form a box. open on the top. Here one can tie the fleece, with the piece D forming the bottom and the others the sides. Notches can be cut in the outside edges of these boards to hold the strings. Put on the fleece the shorn side od the open box, raise the sides A and B and hold together with pieces P, P, 1 by 2 inches, about 17 inches long, notched on each end so as to hold these sides, at a width equal to that of the end pieces C and E. Then raise the end pieces C and E to an upright position, and let them be held in place by a heavy steel spring set in on each side on A and B, at a place so that C and E will be held at a right angle to the bottom, D. With such a box fleeces can be done up so that practically no black ends of the fleece show, and at the same time the fleece is regular and compact.

FEEDING COWS FOR BUTTER PirTi, Concentrated Foods Add to Richness of Milk Without In creasing Flow—First Test in Tennessee. No better or more conclusive evi dence could be offered showing how the richness of the milk Is affected by the quality of food. Cows vary In the quantity of milk they give as much as they do in the quality, says the Ru- | ral home. It Is a well known fact itat some fodders will increase the flnw of milk, bat add nothing to its richness, and it is equally true that rich, concentrated feeds will add to the richness of the milk without in i ns fill the flow. The first system atic testing of Jersey cattle for but ter to any noticeable extent in this conn try was made by the breeders of these cattle in Tennessee, and large ly from the results of these testa the fame of the Tennessee Jerseys was established. Every method known to science, skill and practical experiment in feeding, so as to get the last frac tional part of an ounce of butter from them, in tests from one day to on« year, was resorted to, and in nine cases out of ten it was demonstrated that rich feeds produced rich milk, and that the greatest quantity of but ter was not made when the cow waj giving her greatest flow of milk. Coal Tar for Trees. We may apply coal tar during the spring when the circulation of the sap is active, with comparative safety However, to apply it when the treei are dormant there 1b danger of injur ing the trees. There is another prep aration. a German preparation, known as Carbolineum, that can be painted on the trees when they are in active circulation of sap and rabbits and mice win not touch them. It is used very extensively in Germany and is sold in New York. In some sections great injury is being done this winter from mice and rabbits on account of the deep snow so long continued.
