.HV n. m cs-sa Money In Her Collar. " One Is acdustoined to women's carry ing money lit queer places, but one who recently lins taken to thrusting It just Inside ber collar, Is a Joke anions bet friends. Tbey discovered It the other evening wben with her husband she went to the house of a friend for a call. On the way her husbaud had no change to pay the fare, when the re sourceful woman slipped her Angers deftly inside of her collar and produced some bills. "It's the best place," she said calmly. "I used to carry extra money up my sleeves, but I lost It all the time. I've never lost It from my collar, and It doesn't take up any room, either." The Mother'! Comfort. Some mouths ago, Illchard Harding Davis stated, lu an extremely Interest Ins magaslne article treating of camp outfits in the field, that it was his opinion that a man should be comforta ble In order to be useful. He meant that the thoroughly comfortable man Is always better fitted and in a better frame of nil ml to do the work required of him than is the man who Is harassed by bis owu physical discom forts. This seems a most sensible idea, and the same principle applies, although Mr. Davis does not say so, to all mothers. A mother who Is perfect ly comfortable herself Is certainly bet ter equipped for making others com fortable than she could possibly be If her mind wasconstautly on ber own ailmeuts. ( It a mother Is to take proper care of her own babies, big and little, she must begin (Ity taking very excellent care of hersfclf. For instance, if she loses sleep -Jt night (and what mother ioes not?he must make it up day times, even if she has to take a nap during, that precious leisure time when e naturally watetui uauy conue- scends to sleep. Almost every young mother is af fected with toothache, because the task of providing teeth for the baby has left the mother's own teeth In an Impoverished condition. Consequently the wise mother goes early and often to the dentist, and thus provides at least one member of the family circle with a fairly comfortable mouth. Too Careful of the Hnlr. The non-collegiate woman who had Just returned from a three days' visit to her sister at a woman's college had not got over marveling at the ways of college girls. "Hut what Impressed and shocked me most," she said, "was the unusual number of gray-haired girls. Of course, I don't mean entirely gray, but so streaked with it that it was noticeable. It made no difference whether the tresses were brown or yellow, tltlan or black, there were the gray streaks Just the same. Of course, there were beautiful heads of hair that looked as young and fresh as they should, but In a group of twenty girls I actually counted thirteen whose hair was turning gray rapidly. Their hair did not look neglected. It was well kept and glossy, but there were more gray hairs than a girl of thirty should have. It did not seem as if tbey could be caused by worry, for college girls are not given to worrying, so I thought maybe the strenuous life of work and play was responsible. "The matron of the dormitory bad a different theory. 'It's because the girls never leave their hair alone,' she said. 'They wash their tresses once a week, and sometimes twice a week. Come with me and I'll show you.' "She took me around to the back of the buildlug, and there banging out of a number of windows, in the sunshine, were several heads of balr. The sight was as grewsome as a Bluebeard's chamber. The matroir said it could be seen every day iu the week, sad was the end of the shampoo the drying process. " 'Those girls simply wear their hair out, and that's all there is to it,' she Insisted, and it really seems as If it were the only practical solution of the mystery." New York Tress. A Dameatlo Science Experiment. An interesting experiment in the teaching of domestic science is being tried in the little town of Crete, Neb., one of the oldest and most prosperous towns in the State. It Is generally supposed that only large cities can af ford to teach domestic science In the public schools, but Crete, with its pop ulation of 2500, has proved this idea to be fallacious. The superintendent In terested ten housekeepers in a plan whereby the girls lu the high school became pupils in the kitchens of the housekeepers, each one of whom agreed to teach certain branches. One housekeeper teaches soup making and the disposal of remnants; another leaches bread making, while others in struct in dish washing, serving, clean ing and various departments of house keeping. There are thirty items In the course, which was carefully prepared by the superintendent The lessons and demonstrations are given to small classes of ten girls, and the pupils practice in their own homes. About once a month there is a meeting of the instructors at the School, and samples of the girls' cookery are passed upon. December 2 was,' the last demonstra- -snd the girls served quite 1 1 1 an elaborate collation to their teachers. Many of the girls come from the coun try to attend school, and their interest In the courses is proved by the cheer fulness with which they walk some times several miles to attend the exhi bitions and test classes. A letter from the town speaks of another benefit de rived from the home Instruction: "The Instructors and girls are Interested in each other outside of domestic science lines. Each instructor is becoming ac quainted with all the high school girls and each girl learning to know and re spect the ladles. This means much of good for the community In Its social relations. The girls are called into the homes of the city to serve at private1 functlous, and to help lu the more eluh orate club and public affairs." Bald etf Women.

For Women nl l!ta(n Making Inventories of the contents of wealthy folks' houses is the work of five clever young women In the. city who earn on an average $100 a month, often more. It Isn't that the work Is altogether new. Only the cleverest girls can do the work. Four out of 100 is the average number selected from thos? who apply. When asked what are the qualifica tions necessary for a woman to Docoine' expert at the business the young man who directs the work tersely respond ed, "Brains." 'Nor is this nil," he went on half smilingly, but biting his words off in a manner that Indicated that he mount what he said. "She must not ouly be endowed with brains, but she must use them. 'It seems to me that nine out of every ten girls go through life with their eyes shut. They might be stone blind for all the knowledge they re tain. "If one of my nsslstnnts Is called upon to classify a leather divan she must know whether it is pebble or calf and the reason why. Hardwood may be of any of a. dozen or more varieties. She must be able to recog nize it by the color, the grain and the quality, and so record It. "One woman may think herself to be an expert on rugs. To her notion a rug is either Turkish or Persian or the produce of some other country. "But that won't do. She must have sufficient knowledge of rug lore to tell from what province a rug comes. "In short she must be an expert on no end of things and be as ready to classify a rare old Ivory carving as a Tombola lace bedspread. She must know art from A to Z, and have her knowledge at her fingers' ends wben wanted." Although the requirements are se vere, the girls who succeed enjoy the work immensely. A day Is eight hours, allowing an hour for luncheon, the girls presenting themselves for duty at 9 a. in. and leaving at 5 p. in. At all times they are surrounded with beautiful objects of art, for none but the wealthiest folk can afford to have the work done, as the fee Is $30 a day and the work of inventorying oue bouse will take anywhere from one to three weeks and lu the case of a mad who owns several homes the work mi extend over several months.

Black kid gloves generally wear out at the finger tips and then assume a rusty brown tint which Is anything but pleasing, although the other part of the glove may be perfectly good. When this happens take a little black Ink, mix it with a small quantity of olive oil and apply it to the finger-tips. Leave it until dry, and the gloves will be very much improved iu appearance. How to Kill Cockroaches. A housekeeper who was recom mended to try cucumber peeling, aa a remedy for cockroaches strewed the floor with pieces of the peel, cut not very thin, and watched the sequel. The pests covered the peel within a short time so that it could uot be seen, so vigorously were they engaged in suck ing the poisonous moisture from 1L The second night that this was tried the number of .cockroaches were re duced to a quarter, and none were left alive on the third night. Should Drink More V ater. One-half of the world feminine drinks too little water. They do not know what a real, good, healthy thirst is, and should cultivate one by using plenty of salt both in their food and Its natural state. It will take the place of a tonic. If the woman' who has flabby flesh and a hollow chest will form the habit of eating plenty of salt meats and fish, thereby creating a thirst for water, she will take on good healthy flesh and round out her figure In an astonishingly short time. Grocers' Left-Overs. A woman I know Is making money every year out of grocers' left-overs. Every time she visited the corner grocer she noticed good fruit and veg etables spoiling ami as a result of some diligent thinking, she made him a proposition. It was that be would allow her to take all vegetables and fruit that were not fresh enough to bring the best prices ami preserve and pickle them on shares. The grocer was to dispose of them In the store. He was very willing to do this, as many of his customers had expressed a wish that It was possible to get home-made preserves and pickles in the stores. So they sell well. At pres ent she has left-overs from six gro cers. LflHt year hpr profits were five hundred dollars, which is fine profit on her time and labor, as no capital whatever was needed. T. C.

New York City, The waist made In lingerie style Is a pronounced favorite of fashion, whether the material be lawn, soft silk or wool, and this oue Is among the latest and prettiest that have appeared. In the illustration Persian lawn makes the foundation, while the yoke and the sleeves are cut from tucking, which Is further en riched by medallions and banding of embroidery. Such silks as China, mes caline, pongee and the like are, how ever, made in similar style and also the soft, pretty wool batistes and Empire House voiles which must he noted a being exceedingly serviceable as well as dainty, both for separate blouses and for the entire gown. The waist is made with, the yoke, which Is cut In two portions, the front and the backs. Both front and bucks are tucked at their upper edges and are Joined to the yoke, the closing, be ing made invisibly at the left. The sleeves are moderately full, finished with deep fitted cuffs, which nllow a choice of the straight or pointed upper edges.

A fashionable gown had :t skirt that was accordion pleated, aud was finished at the bottom with five narrow tucks and a broad hem. The sleeves were elbow length and were finished with a arrow, lace striped cuff and two frills of lace edging. Deep Shades ot Burnt Straw. In Loudon a very deep shade of burnt straw Is in evidence at the mil liners' and promises to be very much worn during the spring. The fm irked frock. The smocked frock, says a writer In Harper's Bazar, dates back to the thir teenth century, when It was worn by women and girls, and was, of course, richly decorated with needlework. "Again, In Knglaud. during the early part of the nineteenth century, a smock frock was worn, but this time by the farm hands, countrymen, etc. It was a loose garment, like a man's night shirt, but made of coarse holland or Jean. These were gathered at the wrists and neck and worked with elab orate stitches, falling loose to below the knee." The smock, with Its all but forgotten needlework decorations, was revived some years ago by makers of artistic gowns In London, and had a great vogue for a time. One well known house still makes a specialty of waists and gowns with this work. For Utile girls' slips not'ilng prettier was ever devised. I'lulll IHnlMe.

An Ashevllle man tells bow right food did that which medicines bad failed to accomplish: "For more than 15 years," he says, "I was afflicted with stomach trouble and Intestinal Indigestion, gas forming In stomach and bowels and giving me great distress. These conditions were undoubtedly due to the starchy food I ate, white bread, potatoes, etc., and didn't digest I grew worse with time, till, 2 years ago, I had an attack which the doctor diagnosed as appendicitis. When the surgeon operated on me, however, it was found that my trouble was nicer of the pancreas, instead of appendicitis. "Since that time I have had several such attacks suffering death, almost. The last attack was sbout 3 months ago, and I endured untold agonies. "The doctor then said that I would have to eat less starchy stuff, so I bey gan the use of Grape-Nuts food for I knew It to be pre-dlgested, and have continued same with most gratlfytnc results. It has built me up wonder fully. I gained 10 pounds in the first o weeis mat I used Grape-Nuts, my general health is better than ever be fore, my brain la clearer and my nerves stronger.
