AdotrtUing it the pert' dulum that steep buy ing and selling in motion Chances for Working Girls to Get Husbands Bread-winning girli may be divided into nine classes with reaped to their chance to get husbands. These are nurses, stenographeri, tervanti, shop girls, factory girlt, school teachers, telephone operators, dressmakers and stay-at-home girls, says a statistician, with whose conclusions, however, you may not agree. For chances to marry the trained nurse heads the list. It is a standing joke among authors to have the young man go to war and distinguish himself as a hero. He is seriously wounded and taken to a hospital After weeks of lingering illness he re gains consciousness. He dreams that an angel is ministering to him and opens his eyes. There, at his side, a red cross on her arm, is a trained nurse, the girl with whom he had a trifling quarrel before he marched off. The close of the romance is plain. There is an indefinable charm about the nurse that cannot be gainsaid. She is dressed neatly, with her little white cap and starched apron. She treads softly and her touch is gentle. To a man just coming out of a siege of fever, when he has to lie for days at a time merely gaining his strength, the coming of the nurse to smooth the pillow is something to be looked forward to for hours. Second on the list is the stenog rapher. The stenographer is a girl of some education, refinement and culture. Her dress is neat, she has easy hours, and she holds her age well. In the average office she sees and comes to know many men a week. The employer himself often falls in love with her. The servant comes third on the list. There is an old, old saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. This is verified every day by the number of cooks who tell their employer that they are going to be mistress of a private table for two. Like the nurse the servant has the additional charm of a neat costume. The salesgirl comes next. She meets a reasonable number of mar riageable men. She has many chances to pick up a certain degree of culture. By watching women of refinement their grammar, pronun ciation and mannerisms, she is the gainer. : Just these little things put her in a class above girls who seldom come in contact with persons of better education. The factory girl comes next, and as a hard worker, she is seized upon by the single young artisan. Strange as it may seem, the school teacher comes sixth in the list of nine. She has many comforts and privileges that are denied other work ing girls. She has a better education, has shorter hours, can improve her self in general reading and in culture. She has more time to devote to her dress. She can hold her age better, travel more, but with all that she has fewer opportunities for marriage than many another girl. v . ? . The telephone girl has not the easy sailing that she is often said to have. She, too, is separated from the men, few of whom she ever meets face to face. When the telephone was new there was an additional charm to the girl who sent her voice over hundreds of miles, but since they are so com mon, all the romance has gone. There is only one small chance, and that ii with the class of men who fall in love with a voice. ; m tt M 're I ??A A A rz Oar Nr Jhchm fcsjhunf The Hotel Success of.

We are just beginning to stand oft and look at ourselves and. consider ourselves as a problem. Once upon a time a home and ita duties satisfied us. : We spun and wove and baked and sewed and brought up the children and. rather enjoyed what ' the woman of today would be inclined to call drudgery. Modern efficiency plus modern ma chinery has taken moat of our house hold tasks from us. And a great many women find themselves with leisure on their, hands and a vast, un rest in their hearts. ' The world does a great desl of dis cussing as to what really is necessary for woman's life. "Physical well being," says the Ma terialist. "Exercise and fresh air and enough money to live on comforta bly. A woman who has these is bound to be happy and have a full and rounded life." . t The apostle of some new "ism" re sponds to him scornfully and says that woman must come out of the place where material things are and study her soul. She mustn't think of her body, but of beauty, all-compassing beauty. The intellectual looks up over his thick goggles and says, "Nonsense I What woman needs is work." The old-fashioned man shakes his head sadly and declares, "Oh, no: what woman needs is to give up all these new movements and the desire to make her own place in the world and to come back to the baking and cooking and satisfy herself in the AT STORKS AND FOUNT AIMS ASK FOR and GET HORLICK'S THE ORIGINAL MALTED MILK Buy It la th Mtflod glass tare, Tha Best is always the Cheapest Substitutes cost YOU same pries home as her mother did before her." But woman herself shakes her head to all of this. She has looked out into the-world and seen' that it has need of her and she knows that she has need of it. Perhaps there is a vague unrest in her heart, but there are ideals, too. She knows that, how ever much she needs sunshine and fresh air and thoughts of beauty and enough domesticity to satisfy her, there is more needed. Woman needs a chance to do useful work and, the joy of counting supremely to some one tor whom she cares. In an ideal state one might sum it up by saying that she needed happy occupation and home and love. But ours is not an ideal state. Not every woman can have an absolutely con genial occupation. Too many women have to forego the warmth and com fort of home. And husband and chil dren don't seem quite numerous enough to go round. So for practical purposes woman has to be satisfied with a chance, at useful occupation in which she can express herself sanely and to which she can bring a certain vital energy which will make her gradually come to feel a real interest in it. An adaptable woman who wanted to be a concert singer and who end ed up by being a reader in a play broker's office would be able to make that work interesting and satisfying. Love is an . absolute necessity. Without it human life could no more persist than could cnir world exist entirely without sunshine. But sun shine doesn't come just when we want it nor with the precise degree of warmth we might ask. Nor is woman always given "the love of a strong man." - ft isn't actually - necessary, either. . . . i What is necessary is to "matter su premely to some one." That some one may he a bedridden old mother, or .a crippled little sister, or a worn and weary father, or a young brother who looks to one worshipfully for help and guidance. . Even the woman who has no kkh nor kin may have splendid loyal friendships. And the woman who has that has not an empty life. None of us can exist without work to interest us and love to warm and caress us. If we have that we have much. If we have more we are in deed blest. But what every woman needs, in its simplest terms, is the chance to be useful and the privilege of loving and being loved. ' Big List of New and .Used Pianos and Players From $150 Up Ea Terms A. Hospe Co. 1513-15 Douglas Street: Home-Made Pickles Pickles are expensive to buy,, but they can be made easily at home, and form a very pleasant addition to cold or hot dishes. Pickled Beets Wash very careful ly, taking care not to break the skin, as all the color will come out if this happens: Boil for an hour, and let them stand until perfectly cold. Scrape and slice them, and pour over them vinegar in which a few pepper corns and some cloves have been pre viously boiled. Cover the jars close ly, and see that the beets are thor oughly covered with vinegar.. ' Pickled Cauliflowers-Trim the caul iflower and break it up into small pieces. Strew these with salt, and leave them from twelve to twenty four hours between plates. Drain them well, pack them with salt, and cover with cold vinegar previously boiled up with spice. The cauliflower can be quickly parboiled in salt and water before it is put in the jars, if you find the raw vegetable indi gestible. , Pickled Cucumbers Choose small and perfect cucumbers without any spots. I Lay them in strong salt and water until they turn quite yellow, stirring them twice a day to keep them from softening. When they are quite yellow, pour off the water and cover with grape-vine leaves. Boil up the poured-off water and pour it boiling over the cucumbers. Leave them all In a warm corner near the fire. When the water is almost cold, boil it up again and pour it over the cucumbers again. Repeat this process until the cucumbers . turn a good green, keeping them covered with the leaves, a clean cloth and a reversed soup plate to keep in the steam. When they are thoroughly green, drain them well, pour the foil lowing pickle over them and tie down with bladders or parchment For the Pickle To each quart of white wine vinegar allow a quarter of an ounce of mace or half a dozen cloves, half an ounce of sliced ginger, half an ounce of black pepper and half a handful of salt; boil this all together tor live mmutse, then use hot String beans are excellent pickled in tots way. , , Pickled WalnutsGather the wal nuts before the shells begin to firm, Wipe them, prick wish a darning needle and put them in a large crock or basin. Make enough brine to cover them, allowing a quarter, of. a pound ot salt to each quart ot Dotting water. When quite cold, pour the brine over the walnuts and leave them in it tor about a fortnight' Thev ought to be stirred occasionally - and the brine changed twice during this time. - Now drain the walnuts and spread tnem out on trava in a sinale layer to dry in the sun until they turn black. Have reaay some ory, wiqc-hcckcu Domes, three-parts fill them with the wal nuts, and fill up with vinegar which has been boiled previously with spices. ' - . , 1 V Planked Flounders .. By' CONSTANCE CLARKE: . Planked flounders, seasoned simply with salt and pepper and served with mashed potatoes, are one of the best dishes the hostess can offer for Fri day's fish course. Cleanse the fish and two hours be fore they are wanted rub them inside and out with salt to render them firm; wash and wipe them dry; sprinkle with salt and pepper with a little but ter rubbed over. Lay the fish on an oak plank, then set in oven for twenty-five, to thirty minutes, being care ful to baste the fish frequently with melted butter. Garnish with hot mashed potatoes, pressed through a Jiastry bag and tube, also slices of emon and sprigs of parsley. Serve hot with cream sauce. Sauce: Put three tablespoonfuls of butter into a saucepan with one table spoonful of flour, and keep stirring until the butter is melted; add salt and pepper to taste and half a cup of cream flavor with lemon or onion juke. Serve in a sauce boat ; (Tomorrow Strawberry Tart) Death in The Pot By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. When Hamlet remarked in the ghost scene "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy," he scarcely had hotel kitchens and ham burger steak in mind. Nor, when Sir Lucius Fauntleroy Brown of the Pure Thought bureau of the health department, pricked forth on his joy ous quest of inspection among the hotels and restaurants in New York, could he have dreamed of the ghosts of the mightyand too ldng ucu wmcn would rise to contront him from soup and goulashes and stews? Nothing could have been more in- nocent, more sweetly reasonable, more praiseworthy, than his scheme I Simply to visit with his inspectors all the public eating places in two of the main hotel and restaurant districts of the city, bless the good and con demn the bad, grading them on a scale of purity by an ingenious color scheme, ranging from white for pur ity down to black for dirtiness; then to present each proprietor with a Sunday school card or blue ribon of a color corresponding to his rank in the abyss, which he could pin on him self or exhibit above his cash regis' ter. The restaurants were simnlv charmed to hear of his coming visit. Purity was their hobby, their pet weakness, and their middle name was Spotless. They welcomed the chance of winning an official decoration, which they could proudly display to their patrons, as official proof that their establishments were as im maculate and hygienic at the back as their white enamel and spotless table linen and waiters' duck jack ets were in front. But, in the languase of the dav. "Oh, what a difference in the morn ing I" The inspectors have come and gone, hundreds of restaurants and eating houses have been gladdened by the light of their presence, but that is about all the gladness they got out of it Not a sign of gay color, not a scrap of bunting, not a bright pla card" of any sort lightens and il luminates their scheme of interior decoration. Their modesty seemed to be some thing positively abnormal, until the records were published and an alarm ed and astonished public discovered, with many internal qualms and per turbations, that out "of the first 265 restaurants inspected, 256 were pre sented with the Order of the Wooden Spoon, the booby orne in the lineo of piracy, "tipped the Black Spot" eight were entitled to sport the red ribbon of "fair," and one, only one, was granted the white badge of purity good. Really, in future, the inspectorss ought to carry a lan tern after the classic manner of Diogenes, hunting for an honest man. But there is really little to be sur prised at in these findings, except the naive and Diisstul commence ot the restaurant men that their ways -of doing things would stand the acid test of actual expert sanitary inspec tion. In some cases it was merely a case where ignorance was bliss, for the managers or proprietors actually did not know what was going on in every hole and corner of the back part of their establishments. But in most cases it was the re sult of that devil's code, known as ' "customs of the trade," dirty, care less, insanitary little ways of doing things, which save time, or trouble or expense, and which can't be much out of the way because everybody does them. As anyone who has had official ex perience or been interested in food ' economics knows, scarcely a single sanitary inspection has been made of the actual conditions in basements ' and kitchens of hotels, restaurants and bake shops anywhere, without finding conditions which could only be described by the word "abomin able." And one or more of these would frequently be found in suc cessful, prominent, and supposedly first class establishments. There is not the slightest need for the city of New York to resent these findings as a special aspersion upon her fair fair fame personally, nor for lesser cities or country towns to point the finger of scorn at the metropolis, for everything described in the inspectors' report could be duplicated without the slighest diffi culty in every hamlet in the land big enough to have half a dozen public eating places. The New York caterers are at least entitled to the consolation that, in the classic language of Dr. Johnson, "The' invidiousness of their offense consisteth not in the singularity of it." Advice to Lovelorn : By Beatrice Fairfax Ewp to tha Bl(ht. D..r Mtfli Fairfax: I have mat a rounv man, 34. whom 1 love. One night orni thine mad. me tall him of my love and he told me then that our feeltnga were mu tual. The other nlffht he mentioned taking a ahort trip and aaked me ' to do aome thlns which I know la not right. Do you think ho le teetlns my character or do you think that he deema It proper, aa we both know of each othar'a lover HBLEN. Never, under any circumstances, do anything which your own sense of right makes you know is improper. A girl who clings to her own sane knowledge of what is right and does not allow herself to be persuaded to do the slightest thing which seems evil to her will save herself from suf fering and regret Also remember that no man who really loves a girl will ever ask her to do anything he would not have his sister do. The Benefit f the Doubt. Dear Mlai Fairfaxi I haw ee recelv tnv attentlone from a young man for three rear, and dearly love him. I aleo know my lore la returned. While out walking I met him with a young lady: he spoke to me. but acted In a great hurry to get away. Bo hae called on me since, but aald no word about what occurred. Do you think I had better apeak to him about It, or what would you adrlae me to do? TROUBLED. If you are a fine, broad-minded girl you will just dismiss this matter from your mind and believe that the man you love would explain the situation to you if it were possible. If you can do that all will be well. But if you arc going to suffer from continual doubts ' . and fears you had better, ask him to clear up the situation. - -
