ALMOST EVVIOl'S
After mv interview at that employment
place I walked in Philadelphia's streets
for quite an age. I thought the shop3 In
JIarket street held lovelv thing. The
girls who pased me on the street struck
me as having such a fashionable air:
their clothes seemed cut Just in the
height of "stvle " The uav their hair
was dressed was most severe, dragged
tlghtlv back over each ear with one great
Jeweled pin projecting at the side. I
thought thev looked fo prettv, j't some
had an artltlciai air the color In their
cheeks seemed sometimes hard and fled,
so, different from the glow that cold winds
iind sea bieezes bring. How wealthy they
must be to dieis like that. I thought, and
almost envied thtm.
I walked through Chestnut street and
inw the hurrying crowds go by. How
narrow that street seamed to be' Long
lines of motorcars crowded the traffic
evcrvwhere.
In Wanamaker's cool depaitment store
I lingered, hoping to hear the organ
play. At length "one chord of music
like the sound of a great amen" rang
out. and It seemed to give me courage to
face these noisy sun-s-corched streets
Egnln. I loved to hear that organ play.
AX UNEXPECTED OPPORTUNITY.
After an hour of wandering I saw a
notice in a window, "Employment Bu
reau " It was a largn tjpewrltins office,
rind rows of girls and men flicked busily I
at different machines AH seamen so
competent, so capable, so se!f-aMired. I
felt too rhy to risk another rebuff such
ns the last, so stood Just inside, closo to
the door, and as far from th- 'h.mplnv-
as possible Two girls were
ise to m and I could not help
vhat they nld
Wo need a girl in our office upto v n
at once " said one. "just to do all the
Odd, Joos, answer the tele ihone and do
11 the things no one else wants to do.
Aren't you just dving to appb "'
'Gee not for me'" wai t e response "I
guess I have a dandy job already, thanks
Besides, thq sound of it ain't good
enough "
This was my chance. I screwed up
courage, and I spoke
"Would I be good enough for this par
ticular post of width you -peak?" I
queried "I have had no exnerlento of
course, but still I want to start In right
away "
The girls turned round, and stared,
amazed.
"I guess no particular experience Is
needed, Just some common sense," said
the one who had spok n first, eyeing m
c irlously. "I know we want a girl Im
mediately; go right up now and see tho
boss "
She hinded me an office card, and off
I set. I renehd a great high building
that reemed to me to tnwer right to tho
Jieavens, a rea' skyacrurvr The elevator
eliui me like a streak of ureased lightning
tu the 17th floor. I er.te-Hd a large office,
a"d perceived "the oos-j " He was a wiry
looking, worried lltle man. and seemed
tu preside over a score of monographers,
all girls. He clucked around just like a
nervous hen beside t'lf village pond at
home, who found her brood were duck
lines and could swir : swiv from her.
"Miss Smith. Miss Smith, stop talking
over there and go ahiad with jour

"Miss Brown, you've pticed vour chew

BROADTAIL MAKES
BID FOR POPULARITY
IN AFTERNOON GARB
Domestic Fabric Utilized by
iModistes in Absence of
Foreign Material Redin
gote High in Favor.
A WIVrER VIOLET BED
NOW IS TIME rOH PLANTING.
Vh n a woman once begins to garden
she is lost: Perhups It ia the curiosity
v ith which hhe Is supposed to be en
dowed, and after she once starts the
varlet is too infinite for custom to stale
or time to wither her enthusiasm.
To slip out into the garden on a winter
morning, even if the garden is the small
est of city hack .vards and to gather a
handful of fragiant English violets for
tho breakfast tabh-, has more thrills in it,
if onf has watched and tended the vio
lets, than a buncn from the florist could
possibly give.
They grow so amazingly well under
glass and a few planus give so many
Hovvers that thev will bring much Joy
and very little heartache to the novice
In gardening
Imported dress fabrics fall very far
short of the ujal annual quantity thib
season, and conttquentl) our own do-m-stlc
fabrics are exptoited by tho mod- i
Istes and used to develop some of the
handsomest models shown.
The popularity of broadtail would ,-eem
to be ensured by the fact that it Is a
favorito vvlth shops of a very high grade,
and it tanks with chiffon velvet and plush
in us suitability for afternoon costumes.
It is far superior in quality to the im
itation fur materials of tho past in it
softness and its richness of tone, while
In tho deep blm-s and thw browns, such
as tobacco and tete do negre, t is par
ticularlv alluring,
The afternoon gown of the Illustration
has anusiml beauty and distinction of
stile. It Is uf tho so-called "midnight
biuo color, and It is combined with
satin of the same bono
The coat belongs to the rd!ngote class
It is a, name that covers a multitude of
design', and there are many variations to
the ono theme.
In th's Instance the circular skirt of
tha redlngote is attached In a novel wa
to the flttod yoke, of satin. From the
deep points of the yoke depend heavy
ilk tassels of the same midnight blue.
The sleeves are of satin and project
from the coat-llks sleeves from out of a
waistcoat.
The (ollar Is one of the most attractive
features of the coat, shirred as it is, and
yet not altogether losing the straight line
of an ordinary collar.
The fur that edgea tho collar and cuffs
Is Hussion beivcr. This bears very lit
tle resemblance to the silky, fawn-colored
fur that we are accustomed to un
der that name. It is dyed to . much
deeper shads of brown, and It Is un
f. ticked and still has the occasional white
i a.r that gives It a somewhat fronted
).pearance.
The coat Is slightly opened In front,
with lapels that are faced with satin
and trimmed with the fur to match the
collar and cuffs,
A vary pretty touch is given to the
gown hy the pipings of satin. It la the
sort of thing that the French have al
ways done to perfection
One of the minor d-iaile, perhaps, but
something that ftbsotutely transforms
the appearanca of a garment and raised
It from the ordinal homespun kind of
thing to the aristocracy of clothes.
We are beginning to value these things
and to tee how much U trained by atten
tion to the tine particulars.
-."
As an experiment one can make a first
attempt on a ery small scale There are
miniature hotbeds to be bought complete
as to frame and glais, that measura
CO by 12 tnohee, and the price Is $1.25
A bed of this size is about large enough
for half a dozen plants, but tho number
of llowors on a single plant Is out of all
proportion to Its size.
Tho question of soil is not a difficult
one Just ordinary earth, spaded and en
riched with a good fertilizer, such as
plant food or bono meal, will answer very
wotl.
The violet plants at just the right stags
for transplanting to the cold frame, are
sold by florists at the price of $1.75 for
a dozen plants.
In January, or early February, they
will be In bloom if they are planted now,
and just now is the time when they
should be planted.
Theie Is a charm to town-bred flow
ers, poss blj it is the element of the un
expected, combined witivthe element of
chance.
CLEANING WAXIi PAPEB
The washing of varnished wall paper
sounds a dltlicult proposition, but If a lit
tle care is taken excellent results may be
easily obtained. Add two tablespo'jnfuls
if ammonia to about a half pailful of
water. Wash the paper well with this,
using a soft flannel only Next wipe the

WIFE'S DULL ROUND
OF HOUSEHOLD DUTY
AGE-OLD PROBLEM
Constantly She Craves Word
of Appreciation Which
Husband Denies Her.
Recreation a Positive Need
The European wnr has caused more
trouble In Philadelphia hotels than the
average person realizes. In addition to
affecting American ships, It has worked
n metamorphosis in American hotels and
lcstnumnts, for til' United States food
has to remnin neutral.
Proprietors of hotels and cafes here
found It absolutely necessary to neutral-,
Izo their mentis, and one attached here
with, with Its neutral Interpretations,
shows that the bonifaces do not Intend
to take chances. The patron who desires
to know what he's gctUng in advance will
breathe a sigh of relief for tho change.
He will know, for Instance, when he
ordcts "c-roustndes de pommes de tcrre,"
that it's simply creamed potatoes, and
that barsch a la Itusse Is plain, otdinary
roup, with a dish around It. Then, too,
he iinds It such a relief to know that
"canards roils" Is simply roast duck,
while liors d'oeuvrcs are olives.
The translation, however, was not mnde
simply for convenience; It was a matter
of diplomacy. The hotel men discovered
that a patriotic German guest did not
care to be greeted with a Trenchy menu
Uttered with "ques" and "onts," not to
mention other complications.
GERMAN FOOD DISGUISED.
Nor did an aident Frenchman care to
see such announcements as frankfurters
and sauerkraut or hamburger steak and
Ilv erwurst.
Therefore, the frankfurter dish has
been disguised tn snusnge and shiedded
cabbage, while livcrwurst Is announced
as American pudding.
Ncuchatel cheese Is concealed, -while
smearcase and cauerbelg is simply la
beled as bread and cottage cheese Pig
knuckles nnd kraut have been succeeded
by short pork and cabbage.
ENGLISH DISHES AMERICANIZED.
Even some of the pronounced English
dishes In the popular restaurants havs
been changed. The Yarmouth bloater
and Yorkshire pudding arc now given as
Nova Scotia herring and Amorlcan plum
duff. English potato chips nnd Illrming
ham beer, which are popular In many
places, are now given as Saratoga chips
and beer. Dalemartln soup is simply
bean soup.
Austrian dishes have also been Ameri
canized. "We had to take such steps for peace."
said a local hotel man, "because there
were many complaints from our guests of
all nationalities And If there Is any
place that Bhould be peaceful it's a dining-room.
"Many impatient customers are ready
to fight anyhow If they are not served
with lightning speed, and when their pa
triotism is Jarred by seeing dishes an
nounced In the language of th enemy, it
is too much. Then, too, they can order
more quickly, and It saves time nil
around We Intend to keep neutral food
until the big fight has been settled."
DOMESTIC HINTS
If you wish to make starch and let it
get cold before starching the clothes, try
this method: After the starch Is made,
and still hot. sprinkle cold water all
over the top as though ou were sprink
ling clothes. You will find no scum on
top, and can use every particle of It.
Rice should be washed in several wat
ers before cooking It. The best way to
do this Ik to put the rice In a sieve, and
plunge it up and down in a pan of water.
Warm water Is better than cold
CLEANING A GAS OVEN
To e'ean a gas oven dissolve some
rough potash In a little cold water, and
paint the Inside of the oven all over with
It, using a very old brush, as the potash
ruins it. Leave this on over night, and
tho next morning wash it off witli warm
water. AH the grease and burnt bits will
come away, leaving tho oven perfectly
clean
SCRATCHES ON FURNITURE
Furniture is so apt to become scratched
and such a state of affairs looks some
what unslghUy. A remedy Is suggested
Dissolve some beeswax In turpentine,
making It as thick as treacle, and apply
to the scratched surface. Afterwards rub
very briskly with a dry flannel.
Much controversy nnd contention Circle
mourn! the old, eternal question, Ate
wives consldcicd hy their husbands? From
the days when Adam delved and Evo first
spun, this problem, like tho poor, Is al
ways with us. The Irritating attitude of
the early Victorian matron of a past
decade is not yet dead unfortunately!
In many n modern wlfo Is seen tho meek
self-immolation at her husband's shilno
so typical of a Jano Austin, heroine.
In tlico -enlightened days, a -wife
should surely have n little lclsuio for the
higher things, a breathing spaco to pauso
amid soul-killing routine ot the pots and
pans.
Tho "thrcc-mcal problem" scorns to he
a moial one. "I hato tho very sight of
food," cried a dlstrnctcd, nervous little
wife, "the cooking and pieparlng of three
meals a day Just haunts my dreams
When John comes In nt night, he sinks
into tho nearest chair and says, 'Geo,
Mary, I've just had the hardest, busiest
day! You lucky girl. In this quiet haven
all day long, I envy youl I hope to good
ness dinner's ready?'
"I know John thinks I've passed a
glorious afternoon, lying on the sofa with
the latest novel nnd a box of candy.
It's no tiso tolling him how hard I've
worked; he only smiled He cannot see
the hundred little trifles, big nnd small,
that make my working day as hard as
his "
WORD OK APPRECIATION CRAVED.
Another wife now spoke. "In one
sense I do think that tho hardest profes
sion on earth is that of wife," said she,
"lor that role Includes Just every' other
one. I must bo an excellent cook to
please my husband's epicurean tasto; a
good dressmaker to make my children's
clothes and mlno; a thoroughly qualified
governess to help my children with their
lessons; a clear-headed business woman,
with tho acumen of a trained nccount
nnt, to keep my household books and
run things economically. And in the
evenings after dinner's done, tho last
dish washed, the last child put to bed,
I must be bright and witty, smartly
dressed, must talk about men's things,
men's interests. I'd do it all willingly
if I only had a wold of appreciation from
my husband now nnd then. But he can
not unaeistand why I should feel tired."
Each wlfo should have a certain timo
a day, apart 'rom all her household
duties, for relaxation and for culture's
sake. Most religiously she should adhero
to this scheme.
WIFE TO HAVE PLAY TIME.
A very pretty married woman has Just de.
elded on a mild revolt. For 20 years, she
has been the best of mothers and of wived,
and the very haidost worker in her home.
A little while ago, tho doctor told her that
her nerves were overstrained through the
"three-meal problem" and her too seden
tary life. Sho must have moro fresh air
and more amusement, Tho cure has work
ed so well that now sho has decided to
make tho new state of things a perma
nency. "I intend to make some time for amuse
ment nnd culture every day now," said she
in a determined tone, "for three hours
every afternoon I'm going to 'play.' In
summer It will be tennis and outdoor
sports for me, and in the winter time I
t-hall attend matinees and concerts and
lectures, and visit my friends In all
those years, I think the best part of me
was getting stale along with the eternal
round of pots and pans! My husband
never saw It. but I did! I don't Intend to
neglect him now, of course, but I do in
tend to give myself a better opportunity
for culture and for growth. I do believe
that ho will appreciate me moro, too. I
worked so hard, and yet ho never seemed
to seo that I did a thing! So now I've
thought things out, made out a llttlu
pleasant scheme to look forwnrd to every
day, and I Intend to carry It out I think
there are such things as too unselflBh
wlvea, don't you?"

BERLIN CROWDS TO CHEERS

Thousands Watt Nightly Outstdo
Palnco to Win Approbation.
COLOGNE, Sept 28.
The enthusiasm of tho crowds in Ber
lin over German successes Is depicted
In a dispatch to tho Kolnlscho Xcltung
from Berlin. The dispatch contains tho
first mention of the Kalscrln's presence
In Berlin since tho beginning of hostili
ties, and tells of a touching sceno around
tho Imperial Palace. Tho dispatch says:
"A largo crowd of peoplo assembled
In front of tho palaco and with great en
thusiasm called time and again for tho
Kalserln. As stated in tho Vossischo
Zcltung (ofilclal otgan), the latter ap
peared twice at a window and waved
to tho crowd, deeply moved. A man 111
the crowd made a short address nnd tho
Kalserln wnVcd her thanks to him. Then
sho withdrew.
"But the crowd continued to wait for
her to reappear until a Into hour. At 11
O Clock it WHS Rrnrcntf l1lnt,o.1 I,., ,,-
ono that the Knlserln would show her
self again. Suddenly JJjo curtain of her
window was scon to move. The Kalserln
appeared and waved to tho crowd. Be
hind her stood tho Crown Princess. Tho
whole scene lasted only a minute or two
nnd then everything was dark again.
Then a movement was noticed behind tha
large b-tlcony window In tho middle of
the palace. The doors were opened nnd
tho Knlseiln nnd the Crown 1'rlncoss
stepped out, followed by a man In civilian
attire.
"Noticeably deeply moved, the Kalserln
waved her handkerchief. The Crown
Pilncess. with an cxtremelv graceful ges
tute, asked for silence. The crowd sud
denly became quiet, whereupon the man
In civilian nttlre, a brother of Wnr Min
ister von Falkenham, made nn announce
ment which was Interpictcd bv the. crowd
as another report of a victory. Thou
expressions of great Joy burst forth, such
ns will never ho forgotten. Tho scene on
tho balconv was equally Impressive. Tho
Kalserln, In tears, embraced the Crown
Princess, and the mother nnd daughter
kissed each other. After the Crown Prin
cess had kissed tho Knlserln's hand, both
vverc compelled to wave acknowledgment
of the crowd's joyous cries."
TOO LITERAL
Mistress "Jane, you must not talk to
mo In the rudo way you do. You must
learn to speak properly. You must say,
If you please, .Madam,' and sometimes
Mam, or, for the most part, 'Mum '
AMicn speaking to tho master, you must
address him ns 'Sir.' "
Jnne, a fow days after, went to her
mistress In a great hurry
"If you please, madam, and sometimes
ninm, and the most part mum, sir's felled
down in a fit."
WASHING FINE LACE
Fine lace or muslin is dreadfully apt
to tear In the process of washing, par
ticularly small articles, sucli as collars
and cuffs. Before wnshlng fine lace or
muslin collais nnd cuffs haste them on
to a pleco of heavier muslin, and this
will prevent tearing and stretching In
tho process of washing and laundering
