ECONOMY IN COOKING A LOST ART
Extravagance an Wite Knapfcaalaed
by rrriral Mlh Price and the
(oinplalat of Virrltr
of KooJ.
In recounting lomt Of the lesson learned
In the buslnes world. Eleanor B. Richard
son. In the Bookkeeper, cite these: When
ever I read article written by business
women wherein the writer certifies her in
tention to keep her daughter out of work by
which the mother haa supported the family.
I thing; of a melancholy example of the folly
of such practice which once came to my
notice. A woman left a widow with two
amall children nobly net to work and by
unceasing effort succeeded In educating
them and keeping them In what she called
"their proper social circle." The daughter
nas sent to a select private school and
after her school days were over returned
noma to pees her days In "elegant leisure"
until the time came when ahe fulfilled her
own and her mother's dearest ambition by
marrying a man of "excellent position. "
The mother was quits as delighted as the
daughter over the match until Kate, who
has a scurvy way of turning Joy to sor
row. .- played one of her tricks upon the
daughter. The man proved on acquaint
ance 'to be decidedly short on morals, a
fact which his long pedigree scarcely
served to balance. After a few years of
married unhappiness the young wife found
herself obliged to earn her own living, and
In great bitterness of spirit st to work
In another city to earn her living In the
same manner In which her mother before
her had done, only for a much less salary.
From my work I have become convinced
that because a woman achieves financial
and mental Independence It by no means
follows that she need lose a whit of her
feminine perceptions and refinements. As
I think over the long list of splendid
women of all ages and conditions whom 1
have known In the business world It seem
to me It would be, difficult to find an
qual number of women In any sphere of
life who possess more of the spirit of trim
womanliness. And by true Womanliness 1
mean not alone nobility of character, but
all those dainty personalities of mind, body
and soul which' are and wlway will be the
everlasting Joy and distinction of the true
woman. There comes to my mind In this
connection a certain gentlewoman of my
acquaintance who for over twenty years
haa worked In the office of a certain con
cern, and though her work is essentially
masculine In its nature and her days are
passed entirely, among men, I never knew
a gentler or more delicate personality than
hers. Violets,, which she keeps always on
her desk, aro quite as fitting to her in the
environment of an office, as they would
be had she never passed out of the luxuri
ous surroundings of her youth.
A Lost Art In the Home.
.Some, reported utterances of Archbishop
Ireland, provoked by the meat boycott, hut
dealing with a more Important and funda
mental mafter. aaya the New York Tribune,
will etrlke sympathetic chords In many
heart and should lead to practical efforts
ftor ' the correction of a great evil of
American domestic life. The high prices
of meats are deplorable, but still worse, in
Ir. Ireland's view, are the extravagance
and waste of American housekeepers and
their Ignorance of, the neglected art of
cooking. Nor Is the reference solely to the
rich,' w'hose extravagance Is often de
scanted upon with all manner of variations
and embellishments. ' People of. moderate
and even scanty means are among the
worst sinners. They do not know how to
pui chase economically, or do not care to
do so. and they do not know how to make
the best use of that which they do pur
chase. That is the Indictment that . domestic
economy, at any rate In the larder and the
kitchen, has become almost a lost ait In
America and to It we fear there must
bo widely entered a plea of guilty. We
should not say that the art was never
known and practised here, because a gen
eration or two ago the American house
wife possessed, and we believe deserved, a
reputation for much efficiency and some
degree of thrift. But times have changed.
The same tendenc y which has led so many
young men awuy from farms to over
crowded professions or underpaid mer
cantile employment has led young women
to shun the occupations of the home, and
particularly of the kitchen, In favor of
work In factories, shops or offices. . More
and more domestic duties have been In
trusted to alien hirelings, whose employers,
because of their own lack of information
and experience In such tilings, are unable
properly to direct them or supervise them.
And, finally, .with the Increasing scarcity
and uncertainty of such domestic service
as atill exists, the home has largely lapsed
In favor of the hotel.
It haa often been remarked, without much
exaggeration, that a French family would
live in luxury on that which an American
family wastes. It haa more often and atlll
more truthfully been observed by practical
workers among' the poor that one of the
greatest needs ia that these shall be taught
how to buy food Judiciously and how to
prepare It properly. The problem Is a
perplexing one, because the number of
those who are-competent to contribute to
It solution is so small. Hut it Is one of
the' crucial problems of our social and
domestic existence, and Is worthy of the
best thought of all who are sincerely striv
ing for a betterment of the conditions of
Lady Will Send Free to Any Suffc er
the Secret Which Cured Her.
From childhood I was distressed and hu
miliated by an unwelcome growth of hair
on my face and arms. I tried all the de
pilatories, powders, liquids, creams and
other rub-on preparations 1 ever heard of,
only to make it worse. For weeks I suf
fered the electric needle without being rid
of my blemish. I spent a great deal of
money on various things In vain, until a
friend recommended a simple preparation
which succeeded where all else fuilod.
Thl almple remedy enabled me perman
ently to find entire relief from all trace
of unwelcome hair, and forever end all eni
baraaamenl. It Is simple, esfe, sure and
can be used privately at home, without fear
i.f pain ur blemish. It makes tho ele:lric
needle, entirely unnecessary.

but It would not be easy to demonstrate
their unfairness or untruthfulness.
Look Arooael the Pantry.
The Iiepartment of Agriculture Is of
opinion that the cookbooks do not tell all
the truth, sol It has commissioned Mm.
Mary illnmail Abel to Investigate condi
tions In the pantry. Mrs. Abel's conclu
sions are contained In a pamphlet entitled
"Care of Food In the Hojne," which the
secretary of agriculture will furnish for
nothing on application.
"Countless numbers of tiny living things
called micro-organisms, a word meaning
simply 'small living things.' are every
where found which will grow In the food
man has prepared for his own use and
cause It to spoil." says Mrs. Abel. "In
deed, the kind of food required by man
and animals seems to be that which Is best
suited to these microscopic plants. It Is
this very demand for highly organised food
which brings them Into such close rela
tions lo all problem Jhat concern the food
of man. These microscopic plants flourish
In the kitchen, storeroom, ice box, mllk
room and cellar. If the conditions are
favorable, they reproduce themselves with
Incredible rapidity, one bacterium In- a day
producing l.ttin.OOO more minute plants like
itself.
"Molds, yeafis and bacteria may be
found In the cleanest room, but they exist
In far greater numbers In dirty quarters,
where, for Instance, crumbs of food have
been allowed to decay and dust to ac
cumulate. Not only do the mlcro-organ-Isms
appropriate our food, with the result
that the fiod sours, rot or putrefies, but
they sometimes. In addition, leave behind
disagreeable consequences, like the musty
and moldy odor and flavor of some spoiled
foods, or the substances called ptomaines,
which are sometimes poisonous."
A Girl's Pael Revere Hide.
MIhs Alice M. Trimble, a pretty Trenton
(.V. J.) girl, proved herself a real heroine
when she rode Portico, a valuable horse, a
distance of twenty-five miles to save her
motlwr and little sister from possible
death.
Miss Trimble and her family were vis
iting relatives at Klrmlngton. Her mother
and sister were suddenly Uken 111. and as
it was Impossible to get a physician In tho
vicinity the girl, who Is a brave horse
woman, volunteered to ride to Trenton In
order to summon the family physician.
Her relatives did not want her to under
take such a journey, ajone, but their per
suasions could not deter hrr from her pur
pose, and she undertook the ride.- As It
seemed to her to be a ride against death
she mnd-i Portico let oti.t his full speed,
and although severalj times the animal al
most threw her she reached the city In
record breaking time, and soon afterward
Dr. James Uoidon was speeding on his
way In an automobile to the bedsides of his
patients.
Kxpauslon of Dressmaking;.
More and more nowadays Nsw York
women buy their everyday gowns ready
made, and go to some expensive dressmak
ing establishment for their dinner and
evenlnggowns.
A dressmaker who' began' in a humble
way some years ago. and whose real talent
In her profession was rewarded by her
customers refusing to disclose her Identity
to their friends, woke up one morning to
her situation.
-"It came to me." she said, "that I might
So on forever dolus work by 'tee day at
two-and-a-half a day unless I got up and
evolved a business head. I had some
money in the bank and I borrowed morer
In the recklessness of inexperience.
"One thing: I had sense enough to do
to hire a floor In a good building in the
Fortes, a street crowded with tailor mil
linery and dressmaking shops. I agreed to
pay $1,500 a year rent. I covered my win
dows with good looking lace and furnished
my reception room In mission. I made a
deal with a fashionable tailor to make
the waists to match his suits New York
women who dress well still go to a tailor.
I sent out announcements and had ' my
windows discreetly lettered In -gold. '
"My. old customers came at first, looked
around, sniffed, and ordered a gown apiece.
Not one of them suggested buying the ma
terials herself, although In my former
days, none of them had allowed me to fur
nish the materials and so gain my dress
maker's commission. It costs the customer
no more and I make money thereby, but
they would not do It until I set up an es
tablishment Then they beoame lambs
they acquired a respect for me when my
prices went up. Women are funny. .
"I didn't have time to worry about my
expenses. From the start I was busy-so
busy that 1 hadn't time to make many at
tractive models to stand about In my re
ception room. I had no money to buy any
French models, but wait two years I In
tend to go abroad In two years. Instead
of models, I showed inquiring women
gowns I had In. the work. One of my old
customers In return for whose kindness to
me my prices do not rise even allowed
two women to see her fitted one day. I'm
a good fitter they came back and gave
me two orders.
"I have gotten In with some western
I people the daughters are here at school.
For Instance, one girl of 18 came in the
other day to be fitted for a chiffon cloth
waist she had ordered to go with a tailor
suit. She had stipulated the color and that
It must have some hand embroidery upon
it that was all. Casually enough, at .the
second fitting, she said, "Oh, madaAne,
how much are you going to charge me for
this waist?'
" "Fifty dollars,' I answered as casually,
my mouth full of pins.
" 'AH right," she answered, 'I just wanted
to know. You see, I live on an allow
ance!" "Oh, there's room, here In New York,
for the big dressmakers, plenty of them,
but the little ones are hunting Jobs."
A Female Sherlock Holmes.
I Five hundred shoplifter have been
caught by New York' star girl detective,
a young woman of mystery, employed In
one othe big department stores In Sixth
avenue. Bhe Is feared by all professional
feminine thieves, most of whom are In
delibly marked . In the memory and
"camera eye" of this remarkable disciple
of Sherlock Holmes.
"You know my face Is my fortune, Blr,"
said the young worqan, laughingly, by way
of explaining the mask. "A it's the only
one I have, I cannot afford to publish It."
The young woman consented to pose for
the Evening Telegram photographer, how
ever, wearing her mask. In which effective
disguise a continuation of her useful occu
pation li assured.
"If a gill haa a touch of velvet, an eye of
I'tlitiiliig and an Intuition a keen a a
as r, together with courage to put up a
lively 'scrap' when occasion demands, she
may make a successful detective," de
clared the fair "Sherlock Holmes."
I. all In Feminine Fashions.
Never before hue such a winter been
known, reports the New York Sun. A
miracle ha come to pass and one hesitate
to say what It means. It la the Informa
tion la given with lowered volo that no
one can find out what the style are. Thers
Is a disclosure to thrill the Mood. All the
men who have railed at women's extrava
gance and shcepliko changeablenes and
all the women who have longed to wear
what suited them, regardless of It bearing
on what was decreed by fashion, should
enjoy this time to the fullest. It may never
come again, and we ought to make the
utost or it. Let U revel in the fact that
very one k wearing differently cut skirts
and coats and doing it with that light
headedness which can only come from the
knowledge that no one Is able to definitely
say, "This Is out of style," or "This Is
In." - Kveryone Is cautiously wearing last
year's clothes, because If one has new
frocks, how shall they be made? No one
can tell us. No matter onwhat we decide
It may at any moment be mnde wrong. In
the meantime we .wait, wear" what we
please, and the happiness that abounds
knows no limit. ',
Some people are In a dreadful pother.
They have for years been following a
clearly defined streams which ha suddenly
spread Itself over many marshy meadows,
so that everything Is slightly damp and
fresh, but a strong current Is nowhere to
be found. It Is most democratic In Its ef
fect. We are all In the same situation,
force-!! to admit that every one else may
be right and we quite wrong, lenient, un
certain, as smart as any one else, but not
awfully smart at that. It Is like being cast
on a desert Island: tlss thing one swam
ashore In Is of necessity one's best dress,
though on ship It might have been con
sidered Informal. Fashion has receded,
left us high and dry, and we are having a
perfectly beautiful time feeling dashing In
what under usual circumstances would be
unfit for self-respecting wear.
t.enres From Fashion's Notebook.
Many of the new blouses are cut In
Dutch neck effect.
The right lensrUi for the modish string
of pearls is twenty inches.
A novelty In sleeves shows the shoulder
seam and sleeve cut all in one.
Jet necklets and collars of Jet, some with
diamond clasps, are much in favor.
Skirts of dancing frocks are all short
this season, and distinctly clear the ground.
The new soft moires are ' obtainable In
all the modish tone and their variations.
Smoke-colored tulle and chiffon are much
trimmed with gold embroidery and net
worked with Jet.
Zebra striped velvet, well cut and trim
med with cord braiding, makes a distinc
tive gown for day reception.
The latest model In turbans In very high
at the back, sloping toward the front,
where appears a handsome silver ornament.
Plain silk and satin' skirts display dia
phanous fabrics, light tinted, overlapping
at the Bide, met by a cuirass of embroid
ery. -
Iace over-dresses are arranged with
shawl-like points knotted at the ends, or
caught up with wreaths of flowers, or held
In place with bands in velvet or embroid
ery. A tunic , requires the most perfect drap
ing has all the fullness brought to the
front, a point apparently enoaplrig under
the belt and meeting the decolletage. This
is very pretty in light oft cloth trimmed
with silver lace.
Many handsome evening gowns for young
matrons have at distinct front breadth
made with ruchlngs carried across the
diaphanous material at intervals to confine
the fullness, the rest of the skirt bordered
with flounces at the hem and caught up
on one side with a bunch of flowers.
'"Tea mantle," Is the latest designation
of the tea gown. The description applies
to a garment cut like a long opera cloak
over a plain white soft satin slip. The
chiffon Is most effective In pronounced
tones, for instance, vivid rose, emerald or
flame color. Sequin and metallic trimming
in distinctive designs contributes to the
charm of such a garment which Is loose
flowing, well cut and very long.

as one of tho means toward the end.
Mrs. Mackay'4 Efforts.
The fashionable society leader in suf
frage can hardly be mentioned without a
reference to Mrs. Clarence Mackay, con
spicuous for . the breadth of her activities.
Interviewing governors, visiting public
schools, hiring theaters for her suffrage
society's meetings, giving luncheons and
dinners and teas the president of the
Equal Franchise society is continually
evolving new methods of propaganda. It
would appear that she must keep an office
staff and leave no spare time for herself
to accomplish what she does in the suf
frage campi-.lgn. Yet the social world still
claims her for Its town. It is remarkable
how many hours the present day woman
finds to put Into her day.
Returning to the shirtwaist strike, there
is . conspicuous , In its activities another
type of woman, a type growing In numbers
every day. This Is the woman socialist,
whether she be from the masses and taught
by her experiences to demand concessions
from the classes, or whether she be from
the classes and converted.
The recent difficulty has brought out
many surprising features In regard to the
ability and capability of the working
woman. The names of Leonora O'Reilly,
Rose Schnelderman and Rose . Strunsky
probably will not be forgotten for a long
time; they will not let people forget them.
Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes had already dem
onstrated what a working girl with a will

Elixabeth Gurley Flynn, who voluntarily
adopted socialism and is devoting her life
to It.
Charged with criminal conspiracy, Eliza

three months' imprisonment in Spokane.

to the editorship of the Industrial Worker
In Spokane, although the five editors pre

It Is now Just four years since Elixabeth
Flynn, a student in the Morris High school
of New York City, and then only 15, began
her public work. She then delivered an
address, "What Socialism Will Do for

"I once believed there were countless op

.She la av SoelallM.
Within a few. week after entering tha
spcaklrg. field Miss Flynn was arrested
one night for .obstructing Broadway; Then,
urged by members of the socialist party
to give up her public activity until she
was older, she declined. She kept on and
it was at a convention of the Industrial
Workers of the World held in Chicago in
Sjptember, 1908, that she met John Archi
bald Jones, to whom she was married the
following January. She haa never as
sumed her husband's name, however; sho
siill is Elizabeth Flynn.
"Woman," she'said, "do'Am't care very
n.uch for individual rights; otherwise she'd
lake advantage. of present, rights which x-e
now denied her.
"Why doesn't woman keep her own name
after marriage?' She is prevented by no
law. To take a man's name is only her
acknowledgment of possession " by man.
Women who have outgrown the Idea that
they belong ta their husbands have no ex
cuse for clinging to the symbol of owner
ship." Ideaa of Motherhood.
Similarly radical are Miss Flynn' ideas
regarding motherhood.
"Wo are told." she said two year ago lo
a New York audience, "that motherhood
Is tho crown of woman's life and her duty
to the world. Society In tha long run la
the principal beneficiary. I vehemently
repudiate any duty which women owe to
man, society or God that would compel her
to bear children. It should be a matter
of choice with her always."
"There are no real homes for working
people under capitalism," wa 'her answer
when asked whether It were not ' better
for a young girl o stay at home than enter
Into public life. "With the working peopiu
the sacredness of a home goes for naught
beslda the rude demands of the landlord."
Contrary to expectation Miss Flynn is
not an active suffragist; she considers
working for that movement a wate of
time.
"It Is only organization In the Indujtilal
field that will do tho working woman any
good," nhe declares. "What has the suf
frage ever done for the working man?
Anyway, can't women fee that It '. piti
fully undignified for II em to be asking
man for the ballot? 1 like better the atti
tude of the militant Fiiffrageae, who de
mands the ballot."
The new womun Is pushing steadily Into
the professions. New York unHerflly has
for some time permitted her to Rtudy law
within its portals, and Columbia univer
sity ha recently announced that at the
coming i-unijner session women are to be
admitted to courses In both law and mdi
c!ne. The law courses will Include courses
In personal property, criminal law. tan'
ruiitcy and New York procedure.
No doubt h-rr. as In the woman's law
class of New York university, advantage
will bo taken by women who do not expect
to use their acquired knowledge profes
sionally, but for general culture and in the
management of prTfonal property and

' Mrs. Ruth O.: There can be no possible
excuse for a woman of your age neglect
ing her-complexion. It Is a duty you owe
yoursnlf to look aa youthful and charming
a possible. I would not encourage you to
una face powder; It rubs off too -easily,'
shows too readily and ilors no permanent
good. The use of a good lotion made by
dissolving four ounces cf spin-iimx In half
a pint of hot water and adding two tea
spoonfuls of glycerine will take awuy that
coarse, sallow, oily look to your skin and
make It oft. pink and youthful. This lo
tion is an excellent beautlfler and whitener
and will last longer than powder. It Is
splendid for' cold sores, freckles, pimples
and preventing chapping in the winds.
' ' k -
M., Li. T. : Your case Is by no means a
hopeless one. Many people, like yourself,
are troubled with dandruff, itching scalp
and falling hulr, duet(to a germ disease
of the scalp. This can easily be corrected
by using a quinine hair tonic made from
one ounce qulnzoln dissolved in one-half
pint alcohol, then adding one-half pint cold
water. Brush your hair thoroughly and rub
this tonic twice a week into your scalp and
it will do wonders for you. It will promote
a vigorous growth of hair and keep It
glassy and from becoming course and the
ends splitting. Do not scratch the scalp
with the finger nails. Use a brush to re
move the loose dandruff.
Jennie W. : To hold your own In sucletv
or business, you must feel, right as well
as look right. If you get rid of the lan
guor and 'always tired out" feeling you
complain of, you are almost certain at the
same time to be freed from the pimples,
blotches and sallow complexion. A clear,
smooth and soft skin is Impossible when
he bleod Is Impure or deficient, the diges
tion faulty or the liver Inactive. A good
general system tonic Is made a.s follows:
Get from your druggist one ounce of kar
dene and one-half pint of alcohol. Dissolve
the kardene and a half teacupful ofsiigar
In 'the 'alcohol 'ami add enough boiling
water to make a full quart. Take a table
spoonful before each meal and on retiring.
Thl tonic acts beneficially upon the stom
ach and liver, helps to assimilate your food
and throw off Impurities in the system,
thus striking at the very roots of a sickly,
pimply complexion.
Constance: Right now Is the best time
of the year to get rid of those facial blem
ishes, such as freckles, tan. skin pimples,
etc., which come to us during the summer
time. But you should not use soap on the

Mrs. K. ,H.-: .You .will not need to wear
your glasses, constantly If you will tr-at
your eyes with a good, strengthening pyn
tonic. Dissolve an ounce of crystoa In a
pint of water and drop one or two drops
In each eye dally. This tonic Is very
strengthening to tired, weak and Inflamed

Mrs. P. H. ti: It Is very easy to be
seen that you ure entirely too stout for
your height, and your superfluous flesh
must, be a great worry to you. Kven
though you have trleif so many flesh-reducing
remedies that, did no good. I want
you to try this formula. It tias helped a
great many and is harmless. Iluy at nny

A. F. L. : Soap should never be used on
the hair. It does more harm than good.
It causes light streaks In the hair, brlttle
ness, and leaves the scalp harsh and dry.
If you wish to have your hair look bright
aiui healthy, let soap and Inferior ready
prepared shampoos alone. A good shampoo
costs no more than a poor one. The most
reliable shampoo 1 have ever used Is niailH ,
by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox ilk L
a cup of hot water. This shampoo cleanses H
the hair and scalp thoroughly, and leave
the scalp fresh, elastic and free from any i
Irritation. It makes the hair soft and lus
trous Canthrox makes a particularly fine
shampoo durlntr-the winter month, an It
drle-s quickly. You can buy canthrox from
your druggist or get a canthrox shampoo
at almost any firm class hairdresser's.
