I think that disappointment mnkes one
frel so old! So many sorrows have coma
suddenly to me 1 wonder why? I gnze
down vistas of long years to eomo nml
Bee Junt loiicllnr-ss. Those years mny

Tho foot 1ms pron-pt to meet the tnornlnic dew,

again,
I want to live, live hard, and think,
end leant, untl do! I hato the thought of
pain and povertv! Since mother died,
iJl the old lonslnss that I thought Ions
clncc were crushed, all the old, vague
desires have come to mo again a thou
MindfoUl. Those icstless stlrrllifra for a
full deep llle are here again. O, Moon
cf my Desire' Is hurplnc for me Just
like that pale, cold orb shlnlns beyond
this earthly Mnsdom hero?
TVhy are we luman3 sueh strange, rest
less thlnsrs, with vague resolves that melt
like snow before tho heat of selflshnes'?
Why arc . ntven souls to ache over
our own sad faJllt.Rs and our pain 7 We

tale like mine I still must write In all
sincerity.
ALMOST ENVIOrS.
After my interview at that employment
place I walked In Philadelphia's streets
for quite an ace I thought the shops In
Starkit street held lovely things. Tho
jtlrls who nart me on the street struck
me as hnvintr yur'i a fashionable air;
their clothe" seemed cut Juit In the
height of "suln" The way their hair
was dressed w.i most severe, draBBed
tlghth bark ovpr each ear. with one great
Jeweld p'n projecting at the side. I
thought thev looked co pretty, yet some
had an artificial air the color In their
cheeks seemed sometimes hard and fKed,
bo different from the glow that cold winds
and sea biuozes brine. How wealthy they
must be to dices like that, I thought, and
almost envied them.
I walked through Chestnut street and
saw the hurrlns crowds go by How
narrow that street seemed to be! Long
line of motorcars crowded the tr.iiilc
everywhere.
In Wnnn maker'' cxl department storo
I lingered, hoping to hear the organ
plav t length "one chord of music
llko the sound of a great amen" rang
out, and It seemed to give me courago to
lace these noisy sun-scorched streets
again. I loved to hear that organ play.
AN UNnxmCTHD OPPORTUNITY.
After an hour of wandering I saw r
notice In a window "employment Bu
reau" It was .1 laree typewriting office,
nd rows of g'rls and men cllekt d bu-dl
at different machines. All seemed so
competent, so capable so self-assured I
felt too shy to risk another rebuff such
as the last, so stood Just inside, close to
the door, and a-i tar from the Emplov
ment' desk as possible.. Two ijirls wer
ta!';lng close to me and I could not help
hearing what they taid.
"We nerd a girl in our office uptown
at once," said one. "just to do ail the
odd Jobs, niiHAer the telephone and do
nil the things no one else wants to do.
Aren't you just dying to apply?"
'Gee not for rm '" was the response "I
jrucs. I have a dandy Job already, thanks
Besides, tho sound of It ain't good
enough."
This was mv chance. I screwed up
u ourage, and I -poke.
,, "Would I be goo,i enough for this par
tf jCumr post nf which you speak"" I
V queried. "I have hnd no experience of
course, but still I wunt to tart In right
away."
The girls turned round, nnfl stared,
amazed.
"I guess no particular experience Is
needed, just some rirnmon sense," said
the one who had poken first, evefng me
curlouslv. "I know Wt want a girl Im
mediately: go light up now and see the ;
boss '
She handed me on ofTlco card, and off !
I set. I reached a great hl'h building
that seemed to me to tower right to the
heavens, a real skyscraper. The elevator

Imported dress fabrics full very far
short of the usjnl annual quantity this
season, and com equently our own do
mestic fabrics nie exploited by Uw mod
istes and used to develop some of the
handsomest models shown.
The popularity of broadtail would seem
to be ensured bv the fact that It I a
favorite with shops of a veiy high grade,
and it tanks with chiffon velvet and plush
in its suitability for afternoon costumes,
It is far superior in quality to tho im
itation fur materials of the past in !u
softness and its richness of ton, while
In tho deep blues and the browns, such
as tcbacc.j and tete de. negre, It Is par
ticula'l al.uring.
Th afternoon gown of the illustratl !!
has unusual beauty and distim-t'on i
stle. It is of tho so-called "midnigi i
blue" color, and It is combined with
satin of the same tone.
The coat belongs to tho redin'Ote class
It is a name that covers a multitude of
dekUns, and there, are many variations to
tho one thm.
In th.s Instance the circular skirt of
the redtnote 's attached in a rovel w.i
to tho fitted yoke of satin. From the
deep po'nts of tha yotto depend heavy
i k tassels, of the same midnight blue

Spiral
Stucli controversy and contention circle
around the old, etcrnnl question, Are
wives considered by their hubands? Fiom
the days when Adam delved and Eve first
snun. this nioblcm. like tho poor, Is al-
wns with us. The Irritating attitude of
the rnriy Victorian matron oi a pnsc
decade Is not yet dead unfortunntcly!
In many a modern wife Is seen tho meok
srlf-immolatlon at her husband's shilno
so typical of a .lane Austin heroine.
In these enlightened dns, a wife
should surely have a little leisure for tho
higher things, a breathing space to pause
imiil soul-kllllng loiltlne of tho pots and
pins.
The "threc-mcnl problem" seems to ho
a moral one. "I hate tho very sight of
lood," cried a distracted, nervous little
wife, "the cooking nnd picpailng of thico
mrnls a day Just haunts my dietim!
When John comes In at night, he sinks
Into tho ncaiest chair and s:i)., 'C3ce
Maty, I've Just had tl'o hardest, busiest
day! You lucky girl. In this quiet haven
all day long, I envy you! I hope to uood
ncss dinner's ready?"
"I know John thinks I've pased a
glorious afternoon, llng on the sofa with
tho latest novel nnd a bos of cindy.
It's no use telling him how hntd I've
worked; he only smiles. He cannot see
the hundred little' trlllcs. big and small,
that make my working day as haid as
his."
WORD OF APPRECIATION- CHAVIJD.
Another wife now spoke. "In one
sense I do think that the har.lc.st piofes
ston on earth Is that of wife," Bald "he,
"for that role Includes Just every other
one. I mil"! be an excellent cool; to
please m husband's epicurean taste; a
good dressmaker to make mv dlilldien's
clothes nnd mine; n thoroughly qualified
governess to help my children with tht'r
lessons; .i clear-headed business woman,
with tho acumen of a trained account
ant, to keep my household books and
run things economically. And In the
eenlngs after dinner's done, tho last
dish washed, the last child nut to bed,
I must be bright nnd witty, smaitly
dieted, must talk about men's things,
men's Interests. I'd do It all wllllnglf
if I only hau a word of appreciation from
my husband now and then. Hut ho can
not understand why I should feel tired."
i:.ich wife should have a certain time
a day, apart from all her household
duties, for relaxation and for culture's
sake. Most religiously she should adhere
to this scheme.
WIFE TO HAVE PLAY TIME.
A very pretty married woman hai Just de
cided on a mild tevolt. For 20 years, s,ho
has been the best of mothers and of wives,
nnd the verv hardest worker In her home.
A little while ago, the doctor told her that
htr nerves were overstrained through the
"tnree-mcal problem and her too s-eden-tarv
life. Sho must have moio fiesh air
and more amusement. The cure has work
ed so well that now she has decided to
maKo tho new -tato of things a perma
nency. "I Intend to make some time for amuse
ment nnd culture every day now," said sho
In a determined tone, "for three hours
eory afternoon I'm going to 'play.' In
summer It will be tennis and outdoor
sports for me. nnd In tho winter time I
bhall attend matinees and concerts and
lectures, and visit my friends. In all
tho.se i,cars, 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 mvself a better opportunity
for culture and for growth. I do believe
that he will appreciate mo more, too. I
worked so hard, and et he never eemed
to sen that 1 did a thing' So now I've
thought things out, mado out a llttlo
pleasant scheme to look forunid to every
day, and 1 Intend to rairy It out I think
there are such things, as too unselfish
wle3, don't you?"

The European war has caused more
trouble In Philadelphia hotels than the
avorimo person renlUes. In addition to
nffertlmr Ameilcnu ships, It has worked
a metamorphosis In American hotels nnd
,0-taurant.s, for till United States food
has to icmaln neutral.
Pioprlotors of hotels and cafes here
found It absolutely nccessaty to neutral
ise their menus, nnd one nltnched here
with, with Its neutral Intel pretntlons,
shows thnt the bonlfnccs do not intend
to tako chances. The patron who desires
to know what he's getting In advance will
breathe a sigh of icllef for tho change.
He will know, for instance, when he
mdois "croustntics de pommes do tcrre,"
thnt It's simply creamed potatoes, and
that harsch a la Russo Is plain, ordinary
roup, with a dish around It. Then, too,
he llnds It such a relief to know thnt
"ennntds rolls" Is simply roast duck,
while hors d'oeuvres are olives.
Tho translation, however, was not mado
simply for convenl'nce; It was a matter
of diplomacy. The hotel men dlscovoiotl
that a pattlotlc German guest did not
caio to bo gieetcd with a Frenchy menu
llitned with "qucs" and "ones," not to
mention other complications.
GERMAN' FOOD DISGUISED.
Nor did an nrtlcnt Frenchman raio to
see such announcements an frankfurters
nnd sauerkraut or hamburger steak and
llverwurst.
Therefore, the frankfutter dish has
been dlsgulted to sausage nnd shredded
cabbngo. while llverwurst Is announced
as Ameilc.in pudding.
Nouchatcl cheese Is concealed, while
smearensu and cauerbolg Is simply la
beled as bread and cottage cheese Pig
knuckles nnd kraut have been succeeded
by shoit potk and cnbbage.
ENGLISH DISHES AMERICANIZF.D.
Even some of tho pronounced English
dishes in the popular restaurants havo
been changed. The larmoutn oioaicr
nnd Yorkshire pudding are now given ns
Nova Scotia herring and American plum
duff. English potato chips and Birming
ham beer, which nre popular In many
places, are now given ns Saratoga chips
and beer. Dalemnrtln soup is simply
bean soup.
Austrian dishes have also been Ameri
canized. "We had to take such stops for pence,"
said n local hotel man, "because there
were many complaints from our guests of
nil nntloiinlltlcs. And If theie is any
place that should bo peaceful It's a dining-room.
"Many Impatient customers nro roadv
to fight anyhow If they arc not served
with lightning speed, nnd when their pa
triotism Is Jarred by seeing dishes an
nounced In the language of tho enemy. It
Is too much. Then, too, they can order
moio quickly, and It saves time nil
mound We Intend to keep neutral food
until tho big light has been settled."
WASHING FINE LACE
Fine lace or muslin Is diendfully npt
to tear In the process of washing, par
ticularly small articles, such as collais
and mlfs. lleforu washing line lace or
irudin collars nnd cuffs baste them on

You can't get nwny from It. Js'o mat

yea weeks, had nmnsscd enntteh to ob
tain of Minnlo Waltz and llcnnlo One
step, "select teachers of tho modern
dance," tho assurance that they wero
now "equipped to do the most dlftcult
with the best."
In reality the new dance Im the simplest
of them nil. It Kct.s Its Inspiration from
the old, old turkey trot which was dim
cult and unKinceful largely because It
was tho first In a new leglme and peo
ple were not accustomed to the new
Idea.
Its distinguishing characteristic Is Its
high rate of speed. Woe to him or her
who .still feels tho necessity of counting
his steps or to these whoso avoirdupois
leslrlcts their dancing at all times to
a stately promenade. For the formula IM
plain words is to get on one foot quick
nnd having got there to get off as swiftly
as possible.
In the light of which everybody Is
likely to kick back tho rugs, turn on
tho talking machine nnd go to It, For
this winter there will not bo any cups
coming your way unless you fox trot.
SCRATCHES ON FURNITURE
Furniture is so apt to become -crntched
and such a state of affalis looks some
what unsightly. A remedy Is suggested.
Dlsolvo some beeswax In turpentine,
making It as thick ns treacle, and apply
to the scratched surface. Afterwards rub
very briskly with a dry llnnnel.
A WINTER VIOLET BED

"When a woman onco begins to garden

To slip out Into tho garden on a winter
morning, oven If tho garden Is Uio small
est of city back yards, niul to gather a
handful of fragrant English violets for

If ono hns watched and tended tho vio

They grow so amazingly welt under

mlnlnturo hotbeds to bo bought complete
ns to frame nnd glass, that moasuto
10 by li Inches, nnd tho price Is $1.35.
A bed of this slzo Is about largo enough
for half a dozen plants, but tho number
of llowcra on n single plant Is out of all
proportion to Its size.
The question of soil Is not a dlmcult
one. Just ordinary cnttb, spaded nnd en
riched with u good fertilizer, such as
plant food or bono mcal.wlll answer very
well.
Tho violet plnnts. at Just the right stage
for transplanting to tho cold frame, aro
sold by florists at tho price of $1,75 for
a dozen plants.
In January, or early February, thoy
.will bo In bloom If they nro planted now,
nnd Just now Is tho tlmo when they

Theio Is a charm to town-bred flow
