like that pale, cold orb shlnltnc beyond
this earthly kingdom here?
Why are we humans such strange, rest

ALMOST SVVIOUS.
After mv interview at that employment
place T walked In Philadelphia's streets
for quite an a-e. 1 thought the shops In
Stnrkot street held lovely things. The
girls who passed mn on the otreet struck
me as having such a fashionable air;
their clothes eemtil cut Just In tho
height of "style." The way their hair
was dressed was most severe, dragged
tlghtlv back over each ear. with one great
Jrwelert pin projfctlng at the side. I
thought they looked o pretty, yet some
had an artificial air the color In their
cheeks seemed sometimes hard and fixed,
o different from the glow that cold winds
and sea breezes brine How wealthy they
must he to dress like that, I thought, and
almost envied thim.
I wnlked through Chestnut Ftreet and
taw the hurrving crowds go by. How
narrow that street siemed to be! Long
lines of motorcars crowded the traffic
verv" here.
In AVannmnker's cool depaitment store
1 lingered, hoping to hear the organ
play. -t lencth "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-scorohed "treets
again. I loved to hear that organ play.
ax uxnxrncTKD opportunity.
After an hour of wandering I saw a
notice in a window. "Employment Bu
reau." It was a lurso typewriting office,
and rows of girls and men clicked bul!y
at different machine"!. Al! seemed so
competent, so capable, so self-assured. I
felt too hy tu r'sk another rebuff such '
as the lnt, so stood Just inside, close to I
the door, nrd .)- fa- from the 'Kmplny- I
merit' desk its possible. Two cirls. were
talking close to me and I could not help
hearing what they said.
"Wo need a girl in our office upto'.vn
at once," said one. "just to do all the
odd iobs, ans.ver the telephone and do
all the things no one else wants to do.
Aren't you just dying to apply?"
"llee not for me'" was the response. "I
Itvess I have a dandv Job already, thanks.
Bes'Ues, the sound of It ain't go' d

Thl3 was mv chance. I screwed up
courage, and 1 poke.
"Would I be good enough for this par
ticular post nf which you speak?" I
queried. "I have had no experience of
course, but still I want to start In right
away."
The girls turned round, and stared,
amazed
"I guess no particular experience 1
needed, Just some common sense," said
the one who had poken first, eveing me
curiously. "I know we want a girl ini-
mediately; go right up now and see the
boss." ,
She handed me an office card, and off
I set. I reached a great high building
that seemed to me to tower right to the
heavens, a real skyscraper The elf'ator

AFTERNOON GOWN OF FUR FABRICS AND SATIN
C
BROADTAIL MAKES
IN AFTERNOON GARB
Domestic Fabric Utilized by
Modistes in Absence of
Foreign Material Redin
gote High in Favor.
Imported dr. ss fabitcs fall very fur
short of the usual annual uuajitity this
season, and conrequently our own do
mestic fabrics arc exploited by the, mod
istes and used to develop some of tho
handsomest models shown.
The popularity of broadtail would seem
to be cusurud hy the fact that It Is a
favorite with ,shop3 of a very high grade,
ar.d it tanks with chiffon velvet and p'.ush
in it suitability for afternoon costumes.
It is far superior In qunllty to the Im
It'itiun fur materials of the past In its
,utti..-i. and its richness of tone. wlul
In the deep blues nnd the browns, u h
a toU.icco and tete do ncgre, It Is par
ilLUl.i.ly ai.urlng.
The uft.rnoon gown of the Illustration
has unusual beauty and distinct on n
style. It la of tho so-called "mldnigiu
blu" color, and It Is combined with
satin of the same ton.).
Thrt euat bf longs. to the redingote 1 1 ts
It is a nam that covers a multuud. ..'
desUui., unil there are many variations to
th one tbe-ii".
In this instance the circular skirt of
the i edlti '.it'' U attached In a niV"i wii.
to the htu4 oke of atui. Kioin the
dep points t the joke depend heavy
l!k taskels !' th hame midnight blut.
Tho sleevss are of satin and project
fri.rn tho cuat-ltke sleeves from out of a
waistci.at
The foliar Is one of the most attractive
fetituies of the coat, shlrn-d as it is. and
yil not altogether losing the straight lint
of tin ordinary collar.
T1 - fur tbat edseb the eollnr and euff
is Ri.4ian henver. This bears very lit
tle r semblance to the silky, fawn-colored
fur that we are accustomed to un
der that name. It is dyed to a much
de.per .shade of br.iwn, and it Is un
pliirkeil and still has the occasional white
l.alr that gives It a somewhat frosted
appearance.
The coat Is slightly opened In front,
with lapels that am faced with satin
and trlmmrd with the fur to match the
collar and tuffs.
A very prettv touch is given to the
gown by the pipings of satin. It Is tho
sort of thing that the French have al
ways done to perfection.
One uf the minor details, perhaps, hut
something that absolutely transforms
the appearame of a garment nnd raises
:t from the ordinary homespun kind of
thing to the aristocracy of clothes.
We ate beginning to value these things
and to see how much Is gnlned by atten
tion to the tine particulars.
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 itill hot. sprinkle cold water all
over the top ns though you were sprink
ling clothes. You will find no scum on
top. and can use every particle of It,
like should be washed In several -at-e-s
b fure cooking It. The best way to
do this Is to put the rice In a sieve, and
p.unge it up and down In a pan of water.
Warm wate" l better than cold.

WIFE'S DULL ROUND
OF HOUSEHOLD DUTY
AGE-OLD PROBLEM
Constantly She Craves Word
of Appreciation Which
Husband Denies Her.
Recreation a Positive Need
c.
Much contioversy and contention circle
around the old, Jtcrual question, Are
wives considered by their husbnnds? Kiom
the days when Adam delved and live first
spun, tills problem, like the poor, Is al
ways with us. The Irritating attitude of
the rally Victorian matron of ,t paat
decade Is not yot dead unfortunately I
In tnativ a model n wife Is seen tho meek
sclf-lmniolntloti at her husband's shrine
so typical of a June Austin heroine.
In these enlightened days, a wife
should suioly have n little leisure for the
higher things, a breathing space tu pause
amid soul-kllllng routine of the pots and
pans.
The "three-meal problem" seems to be
a moral one. "I hate tho very sight of
food,' cried ,t distracted, ncivous little
wife, "tho cooking and pn paring nf three
meals a day Just haunts my dreams!
When John comes In at night, he sinks
Into the ncaiest chaii nnd says, 'Gee,
Mary. I've Just had the hardest, busiest
day! You lucky girl, In this quiet haven
nil day long, 1 envy you I I hope to feood
i ness dinner's ready?"
l know John thinks I've passed a
glorious afternoon, lying on the sofa with
the latest novel and a box of candy.
It's no use telling him how hard I've
worked; he only smiles. He cannot see
the hundred little trifles, big and small,
that make my working day as hard as
his'."
WORD OF APPHKCIATION GH.VVUD.
Another wire now si oke. "in one
sense I do think that the hardest profes
sion on earth Is that of wife," Mild she.
"for that role includes Just every other
one. 1 mut be an excellent cook to
please nij husband's epicurean taste; a
good dressmaker to make my cldldien's
clothes and mine; a thoroughly qualllied
governess to help my children with their
lej-sons; ,t clear-headed business woman,
with the acumen of a trained nccount
ant, to keep my household books and
run things economically. And In the
evenings after dinner's done, the last
dish vvnshed, the last child nut to bed.
I must be bright nnd vvltty, smaitly
dressed, must talk about men's things,
men's Interests. I'd do It all wllllnglj
if I only hud a word of appreciation fiom
my husband now and then. But h" can
not understand why I should feel tired "
llach wife should have a certain lime
n day, apart from all her household
duties, for telaxntlon nnd for culture's
sake. Most icllgioubly she should adhere
to this scheme.
WIFE TO ITAVK PLAY TIME.
A very pretty married woman has Just de
cided on a mild revolt. For 20 years, she
has been the best of mothers nnd of wive",
nnd tho very hardest worker in her home.
A little while ago, the doctor told her that
her nerves were overstrained through the
"three-meal problem" and her too seden
tary life. She must have more fresh air
and more amusement. The cure has work
ed so well thai now she has decided to
mako the new state of things a perma
nency. "I Intend to mnke some time for amuse
ment and culture every day now," said sho
In a determined tone, "for three hours
every afternoon I'm going to 'play.' In
summer It will be tennis nnd outdoor
sports for mo. and In tho winter time J
shall attend matinees and concerts and
lectures, and visit my friends. In all
those ears, I think the best part of mo
was getting stale along with the ete-nal
round of pots nnd 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 he will nppieclato mo more, too, I
worked so hard, and yet he never seemed
to see that I did a thing! So now I've
thought things out, made out a llttltt
pleasant scheme to look forward to every
day, and I Intend to carry 1 out. I think
there aro such things as too unselfish
wivej, don't you?"

LIKE A WILD ROMP
Newest Fling Comes Un
Heralded and Society
Must Learn Its Steps All
Over Again.
Tho European war has caused more
trouble tu Philadelphia hotels than tho
average person realizes. In addition to
nrfectlng American ships, It has worked
a metamorphosis In American hotels nnd
lestaurants, for nl' United States food
has to remain neutral.
Piopiletors of hotels and cafes here
found It absolutely necessary to neutral
ize their menus, and one nttnehed here

He will know, for Instance, when he
nrdeis "crotistades dc pommes de terre,"
that It's simply creamed potatoes, and
that barsch a la Itussc Is plain, ordinary
roup, with a dish around-It. Then, too,
he llnds It such a relief to know that
i "canards rolls" I3 simply roast duck,
while hors d'ocuvrcs nrc olives.
The translation; however, vvns not made
simply for convenience: It was a matter
of diplomacy. TIih hotel men discovered
that a flatrlotlc German guest did not

mention other complications.
HERMAN' FOOD DISGUISED.
Xor did an ardent Frenchman care tn
ee such announcements as frankfurters
and sauerkraut or hamburger steak and
llverwurst.
.Therefore, the frankfurter dish has
been dlsgulred to sausage and shredded
cabbage, while llverwurst Is announced
ns American pudding.
N'euchatel cheese Is concealed, while
smearcase and cauerbolg Is simply la
beled us bread and cottage cheese. Pig
knuckles and kraut have been succeeded
by short pork and cabbage.
ENGLISH DISHES AMERICANIZED.
Even some of the pronounced English
dishes In the popular restaurants have
been changed. The Yarmouth bloater
and Yorkshhe pudding are now glvn as
Nova Scotl-v herring and American plum
duff. English potato chips and Illrmlng
hnm beer, which are popular In many
places, are now given as Saratoga chips
and beer. Dalemartln soup is Blmply
bean soup.
Austilan 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
nil nationalities. And if there is any
place that should be peaceful It's a dining-room.
"Jinny Impatient customers are ready
to tight 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 the enemy. It
Is too much. Then, too, they can order
more quickly, and It saves time all
around. Wo Intend to keep neutral food
until the big fight has been settled."
You who have feet .that will twist surrepti

Look on the call of the fox trot suplclously
if you'd encftpo from a terrinic fate,
Trilbies that have not a cntllko celerity
Should not essay this most modern nf trots;
Training nnd nerve and the utmost temerltv
Cannot avail to untaiiKle its knots,
Life for the dancer Is Just one step
after another nnd now It's the "Fox
Trot."
Yotl can't got nvvny from It. No mat
ter how much t9n "Hon" you may have
been In your own homo town with tho
tango, no matter how you may hifvo
bowled them over by tho beautiful sea
with your exposition of tho maxlxe. no
matter how much you may havo hesi
tated dancing around, nil around, vvhllo
plnylpg the gnlne of love, 110 matter how
much you may havo been thcro nnd sho
may have been thcro when one-stepping
no matter any of theso things, For
now It's the fox trot.
Unlooked for nnd unheralded, from
sources unknown, the bomb, almost as
deadly as that hurled down by tho
mightiest of SCeppellne, hns crashed Into
the midst of a dnncylng world, carrying
wholesale destruction In Its wake to thoso
who had fortified themselves behind tho
seeming Impregnable defenses of what
was the latest trip In tcrpslchoroan trot.
It strikes terror to tho souls of those
who, by going without lunch for day?,
yen weeks, had amassed onough to ob
tain of Minnie Wnltz nnd Uennle One
step, "select teachers of the modern
dalicp," the assurance that they wefo
now "equipped to do the most dlffcult
with the best."
In reality the new dance Is the simplest
of thorn nil. It gets Its Inspiration from
tho old, old turkey trot which was dlfll
cult nnd ungraceful largely because It
was tho first In a new regime nnd peo
ple were not accustomed to the new
Idea.
Its distinguishing characteristic Is Its
high rate of speed. Woe to him or her
who Btlll feels the necessity of counting
his steps or to thoso whobo avoirdupois
restricts their dancing at all times to
a stately promenade. For the formula In
plnln words Is to get on one foot quick
nnd having got there to get oft as swiftly
as possible.
In the light of which everybody Is
likely to kick back the rugs, turn on
tho talking machine and go to It. For
this winter there will not ho any cups
coming your way unless you fox trot.
