WHAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW-THINGS THAT INTEREST MAID AND MATRON
ELLEN ADAIR FINDS
LIFE'S ODD WAYS
INCOMPREHENSIBLE
The World Is So Full of
Such Wonderful Things
That I'm Sure We Should
All Be as Happy as Kings.
xxrv,
Four weeks have passed since that Sep
tember night when I sat, pen In hand,
for hours, nnd hours, to write tho strange
new happenings of my life. In splto of
having made some friends I had been
here In Philadelphia since the end of
July yet I felt tho saddest girl on earth
that rainy autumn night when I first
started to record the tale.
Tho rain kept dripping on the roof that
night, and my sad thoughts were but poor
company. A mother's death, the loss of
home and friends In England, with the
strangeness of a lodging house In this
new country, proved a burden very hard
to bear, Tho absence of an uncle whom
I knew would welcomo mo had ho been
here was yet another disappointment, too
October now la come, and life has tuned
up to a brighter key. I still nm a stenog
rapher, but now more reconciled to all Its
routine though this position only lasts
another week.
Tonight I feel a strange elation and a
curious new sense of happincs to come
I wonder why? t will not. must not, look
too deep within my heart!
Last night I spent a very pleasant
ecnlng with most kindly friends. The
little spinster who had been a member
of the ""Western Planet ' order gave a
party In my honor In her house.
"My dear," said she, "I want to Intro
duce you to the right sort of people, and
you certainly will meet such at our
home! My brother has the nicest sort of
friends he Is a lawyer, and a real stick
ler for etiquette. We have these small
Informal receptions once a week."
THE LITTLE GRAY GOWN.
To grace the evening I unearthed right
from the bottom of my shabby trunk a
simple little gown of gray. It Is three
months now since my mother died, and
last night was the first occasion on which
I wore anything but the deepest black.
To me the thought that lies behind the
putting-on of mourning seems a purely
pagan one. If we believe that relatives
and friends have "passed across" into a
happier world than tbTs, where tears arc
dried on every cheek and every heart
ache washed awav. why mourn In deepest
black because their pain Is gone? Are
they not happier far than we? I know
that in another world my mothers Kind
ly eyes are watching me. I know that
she is happy, and if any heartache ever
could come to her there It is because she
thinks that I am lonely now that she has
gone away.
So I put on the little gown of Quaker
gray cut In the English stvle. with one
whlto roe half hidden In the snowy folds
pf th wide tlchu that I wore drnped on
the shoulders of tho dress. I tried to fix
my hair right in the newest fashion. But
my hair Is curly and refused to stay up
In that stiffened way. It broke into the
oddest little waves and twists, and then I
saw that with the gown of Quaker
array, the old demure way must just suit
me best. And so I parted my unruly
locks right down the centre, with the
curls caught up behind upon the neck
In a big.loose Psvc-he kuot. I know I
looked old-fashioned, but no other style
nulte seems to suit me.
"Vh. Miss Adair. in dear, my little
hostess cried, when I arrived last even
ing at her house. "I am so very glad to
Lee vou. come right in1 Your little Eng
lish gown Is just the cutest thing, and
so demure. You must just make yourself
a' home among us all." ,. ...
I thought her welcome was the kindli
est thing. She led me to a cosy, lamp-lit
room, and there her brother greeted me
cordially. "We are so glad to see you
here." he said, and Introduced me to the
other guests. ,
Most of the girls were very prettj. and
most fashionably dressed The men were
all in evening clothes, and the whole at
mosplior wan restful and refined. I feu
a little shy. yet otherwise at ease.
I sat down In a carved and high-backed
chair right In a corner Just aSove me
hung a beautiful Venetian lamp of every
glowing color Why do I love the beau
tiful things of life so much' I do not
care for nvmev . but I care for all the
luxury that money brings. Perhaps I am
a salrmander. who desires to bask In
warmth and sunlight all da long. I felt
contented in this p'-jasant atmosphere.
NEW HAPPENINGS
A girl Cut up to sing, and In the mid
dle of her song thrie was a stirring by
tho curtains at th door r wonder if that
faint, quiet movement roused a sudden
premonition In me Be it so or not, I
felt that some one theie was watching
me and I looked up
I cannot analyse what cam to me with
that one look but something new. elec
tric, stirred the air In silent moments
such as these the current of a life Is
sometimes changed. I wonder why?
I only know that I looked up In answer
to another look. A pair of rather sleepy,
dark-blue eyes was watching ma half
cynically from the doorway. I may have
been mistaken, but it seemed to mo that
in the languor of that glume a certain
strange, magnetic power was hid. I
thought I hod a glimpse of smoldering
tires In those dark eyes
It seemed to me that through the sing
er's song those handsome eyes held mine
against my will and Judgment of the fit
tlngneffl of things Thn when the song
ended the spell broke 1 noticed then for
the first time that their owner was a tall
and striking-looking man, with a strong,
clean-cut profile and a rather languid
air. His host and hostess greeted him
enthusiastically He had a very fine and
courtly mannT when he took tho spin
ster's hand in his
"I must apologize for this most late
Intrusion," were the words I heard him
say and then he smiled I never knew
a smile could so transform a face' tie
had most finely chiseled features, and a
certain air of breeding and distinction,
too. It altnoKt seemed as if I d known
htm for a hundred ears. Yet now he
did not look at me.
We had some violin pjaying and a 'cello
solo, and more songs At length I heard
a voice beside me say, "Why, Mlsa Adair,
my friend here wants to meet you. Ma
1 Introduce him to you'' '
I looked up There was rny host, and
with him stood the owner of the dark an J
handsome eyes He bowed but did not
smile and sat down in a low chair cluse
to me. I noticed in a vague way how the
close-oropped hair curlod just above each
ear and then he spoke Hit voice was
very full, yet very low I know now
that he had the Southern way of speech
It is most beautiful, I think I could wt
be offended at hi words The had an
almost knlghtl ring in them, and tn

MRS. WILLIAM I. HULL, OF SWARTHMORE
Chairman of the Suffrage Committee in the State Federation of Penn
sylvania Women. The question of suffrage comes up for indorsement or
rejection at the Pittsburgh meeting next week. Mrs. Hull, a model club
woman, was for several terms president of the Swarthmore Woman's Club,
one of the most active and influential clubs in the State. Mrs. Hull is a
daughter of Isaac H. Clothier and wife of Prof. William I. Hull, (Swarthmore
College), secretary of the Pennsylvania Peace and Arbitration Society. The
Suffrage Committee, which Mrs. Hull directs, has been particularly active
during this year in pursuance of the resolution of the 1913 convention, when
it was voted that the question of suffrage pro and con be carefully studied
and presented to all clubs throughout the year. These considerations become
basis for action this year at Pittsburgh, October 13-16, when from enlightened
discussion will come the definite decision concerning the popular voice on
the suffrage question. Keenest interest centres about the action, for it will
be made and stand as representative of Pennsylvania's 32,000 federated
clubwomen.
IDEAS IN IDLENESS
The way to a woman's heart Is paved
with little courtesies, gentle and unob
trusive attentions, and kindness.
When one Is tempted to write a clever
but harsh tiling, though It may be dim
cult to restrain It. It is always better to
leave it in the Inkstand. Smiles.
Lives of bankrupts all remind us. we
can sell our goods on time; and, depart
ing, leave behind us creditors In every
clime.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star we know
exactly what you are. In olden times
your rhyme might do, but since we've
learned a thing or two.
It Is quite a common thing for a limb,
arm or leg. which has been broken sev
eral enrs before, to occasionally ache.
They often ache when there Is a sudden
change of weather.
'Tis better to have loved a lot than
never to have loved at all
A little widow Is a dangoroui thing.
THE EAJAH'S PICKLE
Three quarts vinegar, one-quarter pound
of mustard, one-half ounce of black pep
per, one ounce of cloves, one ounce of
allspice, one ounce of cajenne, one ounce
of ginger, one ounce or turmeric, one

CHILDREN'S CORNER
BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
OXCK upon a time, a little green
leaf lived up on a tree away
up near the tip. tip top
Of cour'-t, he was just a baby leaf;
but he was. so sturdy and strong that
he didn't tav a baby leaf very long.
Firt thing the old mother tree knew
there was another baby leaf on the
tip, tip top, and the erstwhile baby
icai was a tuii-sizeii icai as tug ana
strong and green as any on the tree I
The leaves had a beautiful time all
the das playing with the sunbeams
and dancing with the breezes, and
all the nights visiting with the winds
One day in the fall the south wind
rushed up to the tree at twilicht.
"Oh, listen," he panted. "I've got
the most wonderful news!"
"Really! Do tell us!" shouted the
whole tree full of leaves all at once
"I've seen an aeroplane," said the
wind "It's right over there in that
field, and it's going to fly tomorrow!"
Tolly!" "How can it?" "Where
is it?" shouted different leaves all at
the same time.
"Yes, it will fly," answered the wind
"It is right over there in the field
and I heard the men talking about it
as I came by."
"We can see it tomorrow, then,"
said the old mother tree sensibly,
"and there's no need at all for all jou
leaves to get u excited at bedtime
Just go to leep nmv," she added, to
ifocfc and forth acrou

MY LADY'S HANDS
There are many little wns by which
the hands can be taken care of, although
dally domestic duties are carried through.
Begin the night before, and wash the
hands thoroughly with warm water and
good toilet soap. A Httle oatmeal mny bo
used at the same time, tied in a plcco
of muslin, or put Into the palm of one
hand, and used as soap. This removes
dirt very quickly without roughening the
skin. Pay great attention to tho nails
and to the skin at tho base. When quite
clean, rinse out every trace of soap or
oatmeal and dry thoroughly. Afterwards
rub In a simple emollient, and wear a
pair of old kid or chamois gloves, with
the palms pierced for ventilation. Dur
ing the day war glovei when perfoiming
any kind of rough work, and never, allow
tho hands to remain wet or imperfectly
diled Stains arc removed from the
hands with a piece of cut lemon or a
little vinegar and salt mled. Pumlco
soap tablet is a useful thing for the same
purpose.
TO DRY PLUMS
Toil will find this a very useful recipe,
If you happen to havo a large supply of
this fruit. Gather the plums when they
are not too ripe, and prick them In sev
eral places with a darning needle. For
every pound of fruit allow half a pound
of sugar, and melt this In a little water,
skimming It frequently. Xow add the
plums; boll for half an hour; lift them
out, and boll the sugar for a) minutes,
or until it "candi-eV which you can tell
by taking a small quantity in a spoon,
and letting it drop until it threads out
In strings; turn it over the plums, and
let them dry in a cool oven, Htlrrlng them
about every few minutes When nicely
candled, put Into boxes
' the leaves. ' and in
can see the vvhujc
the morning vc
thing" So the
wind slipped away in the twilight and
tliejcavc went to -iccp every one
.Vest morning, sure enough, some
men came and worked on the queer
looking thing vailed an aeroplane and
soon, with a whir and a chug of its
engines, it rose through the air like
a great bird
Back and forth across the heavens
it flew and every litt,!e leaf on the
whole tree looked in wonder at the
marvelous sight.
When the aeroplane had disap
peared in the distance, the leaf on the
tip-top branch said: "I want to do
that! I want to be an aeroplane; to
get away from this old tre"e and s.n
through the air like a bird'
"Better tay where you are and be
thankful," advised the old tree, but
the leaf paid nu attention. He fretted
and fumed and twisted and turned till
he wrenched himself loose from t ic
old mother tree I
"Good-by," he called as he sailed
away. "I'm sorry jou can't fl
throi'gh the air. too!" cross the
stre . and across the jard-, hither
an j on he sailed and he felt vcrj
giand and happy
Tor lie didn t know, as jou and I

A THOUGHTFUL HUSBAND
Jlrs. Smith had a colored maid who
had been with her for some time.
Tho girl left her and got married. A
few months later she came to see Mrs.
Smith.
"Well, Mandy," asked the former mis
tress, "how ore vou getting along?"
"Oh, fine, ma'am, thank you," the
bride answered.
"Is your husband a good provider?"
"Yes, 'deed he am, ma'am," said
Mandy, enthusiastically. "Why, jes' dls
las' week, ma'am, ho got me six new
places to wash at."
AN UNHAPPY ANSWER
The palm for abscnt-mlndednesi Is
probably taken by a learned German.
One day the professor noticed his wife
placing a largo bouquet on his chair.
"What does that mean?" ho asked.
"Why," she exclaimed, "don't vou know
that this Is tho anniversary of your mar
riage?" "Ah, Indeed: Is It?" said the professor
politely. "Kindly let me know when
ours comes nround and I will recipro
cate the favor."
EVERY CLOUD
"What," said a bachelor to a benedict,
"married only a jcar and already so
miserable?"
'Ah, but," groaned the benedict, "I
never Imagined that a wife would prove
fo expensive."
The bachelor patted the unhappy mar
ried man on the back In a consolatoiy
way.
"Yes," he sild, "a wife Is an expen
sive article, that Is true; but then ou
must remember that she lasts a very
long time."
WHAT THE CHILDREN LIKE
Try some toffee apples for the chil
dren. Get some small apples, and stick a
little piete of thin wood In each for a
stalk. Have ready some hot toffee, dip
the apples Into It by means of the little
stitk, and spread them out to dry. Chil
dren llko them very much.
Some children do not like macaroni as
a swret pudding, although they will en
Joy it If served with Jam and plenty of
milk. Chi'tso will not harm them If only
a small quantity is glvvn. Have jou ever
trkd it for them with macnionl? Roll
the latter till quito soft; dialn off the
water, cut tho macaroni very small, and
put some In a buttered ple-dlsh. Sprinkle
a little giatrd cheete on It. and till up the
dish with more macaroni; put some pieces
of butWr on the top, and brown in a
quick oven. Rite mav bn substituted for
the macaroni if .vou think they will nie
fer it.

FASHION'S REALM
Frocks of Fluff and Frill
Make Way for Plain Shirt
and Practically Cut Skirt.
The tailor-made girt Is walking-, In hsr
oWn sure-footed way, back Into the arena
of fashion, Frocks nil fluff nnd frills
alienated tho fomtnlno heart for a time,
and tho plain shirt nnd tho severely cut
skirt woro slighted unless golf or tennis
or tho out-of-doors gave them a brief
hour's favor, ,
Tho tailored blouso appears this season
In a variety of materials', silks and linen
and even sheer batiste. Tho yoke Is Its
familiar Bplrlt onco more, not the pointed
yoke popular In tho past, but a yoke cut
straight at the back nnd prolonging th
shoulder line In front.
The tub silks are qullo smart again,
with the striped silk a greater favorite
than the plain whlto or solid color.
They stay fresh so much longer than
linen or lawn, nnd they launder so easily
and well that they arc far moro practical
than the shirt that Is mado of any other
material.
The blouso skotched todayls of striped
wash silk, with a flaring collar and turn
back cuffs of linen, stlfTly starched.
Tho narrow string tie, popular once
more, tics below tho V of the blouse,
which Is only Just deep enough for ths
free movement of tho throat and not the
elongated V of tho summer blouse.
Tho skirt Is cut after an old pattarn
thnt Is acquiring new prestige. It Is close
at the hips and gored In a way that
gives enough width at tho foot for free
dom In walking.
There Is a deep yoke to the skirt with
a simulating fold In front, along which
three buttons ore ranged for ornamental
and not for utilitarian purposes. Tha
skirt buttons In the back genuinely.
Tho pocket, placed rather low on the
skirt beneath tho joke, Is useful and
gives the masculine touch necessary to
tho success of all tnllorcd garments.
For the business girl or woman there
Is nothing so appropriate for olllce wear
as the plain skirt and blouse.
Tho tilm tailored look Is very attiactlvs
under all circumstances, but office con
ditions make It sensible nnd suitable.
Tho vogues change too quickly In th
rlnbotnlcly cut or trimmed frocks to
make thtm a wise Investment for prac
tical wear; that Is. for wearing for x
season, day In and lny out.
Hut tho shnplo shirt and the -severely
cut skirt look as well on their last day
as on their first In fact, to the very end
of the chapter of their wearing.
