ii;-- -MtSpk , Clumsy Fur Coats No Longer Seen, The days when clumsy sealskin coats hung Ilk sacks round the shoulders of women and when no attempt was ever mndo to cut fur garments smartly or to fit thorn accurately to the figure, have departed and have loft nothing but tlielr very unpleasant memory be hind. i .The furriers of the present day, or at all events the best of them, cut and lltevery garment which Is entrusted to them with the care and skill of a Court dressmaker bestows upon her smartest bodices of satin, velvet, or brocade; and not only do the fur gar meets worn at the moment fit admlr ably, but they are made uncording to the very latent dictates of fashion, and echo In a remarkable way the modes of the season as they are seen else where. Something New to Save. There are some women who save everything, every little scrap; there are others who save nothing, but are there any who save their old rubbers? Do you know that there Is a market for all old articles having even a small quantity of rubber In their composi tion? Not long ago In a small town several wor-en combined and (saved all their old rubber shoes, bicycle tires, and mackintoshes, and at the end of the month sold the collection at so much per pound. The proceeds were then given to a charitable oignnlzntlon. The combination of thtise first few women attracted other women, and now there is a rubber saving club in this town, and the services of a mar ket wagon are secured, free of charge, each month, for the collection of rub ber treasure. New York American. Training Children. Here are some rules for the training of children that may help somewhat In the solving of the difficulties many parents experience. . From earliest infancy Inculcate in stant obedience Unite firmness with gentleness. Let your children understand always that you mean what you say. Never promise them anything unless you are quite sure you can give what you say. If you tell a child to do something, show him how to do It, and see that It f doneL Always punish your children for wil fully disobeying you, but never punish them In anger. Never let them know that they vex you or make you lose your self-command. If they give way to petulance or Ill temper, watt till they are calm, then reason with t.vera on the foolishness of their conduct. Never give your children anything becauso they cry for It Teach them that the sure and easy way to appear good is to be good. Accustom thom to make tholr little recitals with perfoct truth. Never allow tale-bearlng. Teach them self-denial, not self-indulgence. Indiana Farmer. What Do You Eat at Noon? Do you realize that your food makes or mars your health; and that you must make your choice of good blood or poor blood yourself? You may be pretty and sweet and fresh-looking now, but If you do not eat the proper food you will fade quickly and lose your strongth. At every restaurant a choice may be made hotwepn substantial, health giving food and frivolous, harmful food. Drown bread Is a better Investment than whito, for It produces more en ergy. Baked beans, lima beans, peas Vid corn, hash or flHh (wihen not looked greasily) build up your muscles and add to your strength. Cheese and nuts eaten with bread and butter sre both nourishing and Inexpensive. They are heavy foods and should be eaten as sucn at the end of the meal. Tomutoos and spinach make good red blood they are as good as iron tonic. Apples, too, are regular storngo batteries for iron, and eaten with nuts and a glass of milk make a good lunch. Fruits, uncooked or made Into sauces or pies, are good for you at noon, but they wlllnot sustain you dur ing an afternoon's hard work. Invest your money evory noon in something which will count for your comlort during the rest of the day. Make your own choice for each dy. You are building the future. The Beauty Bath. To keep the body clean Is to keep It healthy; more than that It Is to keep the mind bright, as circulation Is stim ulated, muscles massaged and the tis sues hardened. The dolly bath Is the finest beautifying means known. Oue thing you must strictly avoid In bath ingnever use hard water. It Is Im possible to create a cleansing suds. The addition of borax will remedy this trouble, so always keep a little china , or tin covered box with borax la It on your bath stand. They say that Pattl Is the best pre served woman of her age and that he takes a daily bath, using pure White imported castlle soap and a fine flesh brush, softening the water with a tAbleepoonful of borax for each gal lon. Rinse with a bath spray, chilling the water gradually; dry with a coarse towel (a linen Turkish towel), rubbing the flenh until It Is pink and tingling. Every morning (If you only take the warm bath once a week), sponge the body with tepl.1 water, to which a handful of salt and a tablespoonful of borax have been a:ded. This last Is the beautifying bath, and the woman who is afflicted with pimples and blackheads would do well to keep in mind that If the skin performs Its func tions properly, throwing off waste mat ter actively, there will be a 'decided Improvement In the condition of the complexion. Hard water will soon spoil the prettiest skin so never use it if passible. Detroit Frea Press. Contentment In Work In order thnt a woman may be suc cessful and happy In her home life she must inevitably regard her work as worthy the hlghost education and enthusiasm, says the Washington Star. Let her know before she enters up on It that it miiBt for years occupy the greater part of her thoughts and time there will be seasons when It must occupy her whole time and be content that this Is so because of the value of the result to be obtained. The home whore peace and order reign and sweet Influences of Indus try and education of courtesy and re ligion prevail Is not made by chance. The woman's thought and study and ability have entered into it and dctc mined Its character. Where the servants are industrious and quiet, where the children are healthy, gentle and obedient, where the conversation shows intellectual life and generous thought, and the spirit of the homo In Its activities and pleasures is love and Joy and peace, the praise is duo, first, to the woman who as wife and mother and mis tress and housekeeper and homemaker has made it her study and pleasure to rtila her kingdom diligently, with in telligence nnl love. The hoiro Is her creation, springing from her own ldenl of what is good and fair and speaks to mankind as truly as if her thought had expressed Itself In writing. It is a work of the highest art. If a woman thus regarded her work at home she would settle her mind to It without that restlessness and dis content she will always feel If In her heart of hearts she regards history or art or higher mathomatlcs as being more worthy of her attention. A Chinese Student. "Oh, you American women, can do everything." said Miss Kang Tung, a bright Chinese student at Harvard. "You go everywhere that men go, you read men's newspapers, and you know ad that Is going on, but in China we have to stay in a bandbox; we are not really alive. "Yes, at home I dress in home clothes,' but I like these better and would never live in China again If I could not go and come at I please, Yesterday we wont through your big gray prison what do you call it, the Tombs? They all wore the same clothes and sat In the same kind of nark rooms. It made mo think of our women at home. Ileal ly, we are not much better oti. "Am I writing anything? Oh, yes, I write nearly every month for our woman's paper at home. My sister, Kung Tung Mee, Is the editor of this and it is published in Canton twice a month. "So few Chinese women know how to road, but those who do know en Joy reading the paper. Almost all the writing in it is done by women. No, we don't bother about fashions. The paper Is more about what Is going on In the outside world and what other women are doing. "I? No, I don't bother about fash ions, either. I wear what I see other people wear, what the stores have to sell. Oh, yes; I like pretty clothes, but I am so busy, I haven't time to spend on them." And yet this little 17-year-old en- tiiusiast is always well dressed, quietly becomingly, and In good taste. This Is Miss Kang Tung's first visit to America, and though site has only re cently come to New York, she has been in the couutry several months in Cali fornia, British Columbia and other places where there are colonies of her countrymen. Everywhere she goes she tries to interest the women and or ganize branches of the Reform Asso ciation of which her father Is the head. Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. Fashion Notes. Many entire costumes are done in plaits. Fringe with a Van Dyked top is a charming novelty. Empire coats are graceful, if not a smart as fitted designs. Dark fur ovals with one end pointed are inset In some ermine pieces, in ad dition to the tails. Crepe gowns are considered very smart for inaoor purposes when trim med with deep sllli fringe. A dainty and voluminous affair for evening Is composed entirely of shirred chiffon, with a setting of dainty laco. An exceedingly swagger and unique combination seen lately was a peach colored tnousseline, trimmed with nar row sable bands and moss green vel vet, embroidered in silver thread. It is well to bear in mind that soft ness is a necessity for a becoming house gown; so, if silk is chosen, in stead of net or chiffon, lace should in variably be used as a trimming be cause of its greater durability. A white lace house gown Is very useful, as it can be made with a high and a low bodice and thereby serve for home wear and for more formal occa sions out. Many women. Instead of having two waists, use a deep collar over Jhe low bodice. UZETTyTiiiJVi New York City.

For china closets, whether In kitchen or In butler's pantry, there has long been felt a need for some means of arranging the various sizes of platters belonging to any set of china without piling them on top of each other, a most awkward and Inconvenient meth od, with much risk of breakage when handling them. There are now for sale platter rests made of natural wood. Each dish has Its separate and appro priate rest with regard to Its size. The smallest one fits down on the front rest, the next size follows above, until the entire set Is placed. The whole ser vice not only shows to advantage, but Is safely held, so that each platter can be selected at once. By this simple means these large dishes take up little room on the pantry shelf, and there is no longer noise or confusion In restor ing them to their places. These rests cost only 75 cents each, and hold either sets of Ave or seven platters. Com mercial Advertiser. Girl Nurses. All girls should know a little about nursing, so as to be of use In times of sickness. One of the most Important things to see to Is the bed. Very few people really know how to make a bed properly; that Is, to put the sheets on evenly and smoothly. The sheets should be large enough to be securely tucked under the edges of the mattress, and tho greatest rare should be taken to smooth out all the creases, as noth ing fidgets a patient so much as crum pled sheets or sheets that keep slip ping to one side. Then the pillows. The proper way to arrange them Is so that they are neither too high nor too low, Just of a medium height, to rest the back of the patient when sitting up. Changing and shaking up the pll lows when they have become rumpled takes but a little time, but Is very comforting and refreshing to the pa tlent The covering of the bed should vary according to the temperature of tho room, the nature of the sickness, the feelings of the patient and the time of tho year. Whatever these conditions, the coverings should be as light as la consistent with the comfort of the pa tient. Feather beds should never be used In cases of sickness. They are un comfortable for the patient and keep the body unnecessarily warm. Amer lean Cultivator. Washing Blankets. Soft, fleecy blankets are a luxury that every one appreciates. They are lighter and warmer than quilts or com forts, and should form a part, at least, of every bed. They are not expensive if ono considers their durability, and if washed properly, do not full up, but retain their 'soft, fleecy look to the last The better and softer a blanket is, the more likely It is to re tain disease germs and dust, aud for that reason a blanket should be washed once or twice a year. The following method has been followed by a practi cal housekeeper for years with the best results: If you have a good washing machine and wringer, you will find it excellent for washing blankets. Put a small package of gold dust washing powder in a kettle and pour over it halt a gal Ion of boiling water. It will dissolve in a few minutes. Fill the washing machine half full of boiling water and add enough of the dissolved powder to make a strong suds. Put one or two blankets in, and wash until the water is dirty. It Is surprising how much dirt will come out of a blanket that seems but little soiled when you be gin. Run It through the wringer and wash it through a second suds 'pre pared as the first one was. Rinse it in clear soft water until every trace of suds is removed and hang it on the line, taking care to shake It until it bangs without wrinkles or creases. A bright day that is not cold enough to freeze is the best time to dry blankets. Be sure they are perfectly dry before they are used. E. J. C, in American Cultivator.
