THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR Ellen Adair Believes That Justice Should Be Tempered With Tho next door neighbor often proves a very trying quantity. But doubtless nn all-nUe Providence has placed the same In that position for our purlflnn nnd moral uplift. "Surely theio things nre nent to chattcn us!" Is fndl, realistical ly true ancnt tho next door neighbor. Are not his plavful little uays familiar to the most of us? That pleasing seiuo of humor nhUh Impels him to set hi' dog on the trail of our favorite oat Is not among' the least of them, lie owns n parrot, too, that swears most dread" fully. One wonders vaguelv tthere It learned Us comprehensive repertoire un til ono hoars tho next door neighbor trip over something In tho back ard. Ills bincuage boars nn odd resemblance to the parrot's then! Or Is ho musical? I think that feature t the worst of all. No dim or chastened melody cornea through the walls thoy are so thin that every dreadful noto Is clearly heard. Yes, it Is trvmg one corner noma after a long and weary day. and murmurs to oneself "No place like homo!" In a very unexpected sense the hackneyed ob servation proves Itself most Justified! There Is no p'ace like home when the nert door neighbor playfully carols through the thin partitions! Many devices have been tried to stop these gentle breathings but In vain. I frequently have noticed that the trulv musical do not perform from morning nntll night It Is tho voice that eounds Just like a megaphone In mld-Atlantlc which uplifts Itself, and dally, hourly, loves to do so. The passing of acidulated notes and sundry curt communications does not Im prove, matters In tho vory least. Wo are all familiar with the type of Mr .Tones and Mr. Brown. Tho Tatter's dreams nro haunted by the strains of choicest, ditties emanating from the gifted elngor, Mr. Jones. When Mr. Brown Is tired and sleepy, and before him on the morrow Is an early morning rising. It Is cold com fort to be kept from sleep by Mr. Jones' The Chafing Dish The charm of tho chafing dish is known to almost every one. It Is the stand by of the college girl, and many and varied are the chafing-dish parties that -he loves to give. These are very plena nt, Informal little affairs, and round the ooklng of tho impromptu meal much fun .ad frolic go on. Certain rules should be strictly ob- - rved In the matter of chafing-dish cook- -y. Cleanliness Is of the utmost value. nd is in fact a necessity Ex-loslons are ry apt to take placp In connection wttl '10 putting in of alcohol beneath the hot ay. Remember carefully that the tray -lust under all circumstances be quite Id before the alcohol below it Is re- -wed. Several rather bad burning accl--nts have hcpperJ through carelessness the observation of this rule. Qlrls who are working with tho chafing sh should roll up their sleeves before Ulnc about the business of cooking, nnd 111 thus do away with all chances of ac dent through Are Curtains and all ln immable materials should bo kept at a itanco from the chafing dish. Many and delightful are the recipes for is particular branch of culinary art. ilcken croquettes are always popular iop up sufficient chicken to fill three ps, beat up two eggs thoroughly and I a cup with bread crumbs. Mix tho npped-up chicken and the bread crumbs ' oroughly and shape them into pear- laped balls Mix the egg with soma ad crumbB and dip these pear-shaped ills Into the mixture, seolng that they -o completely covered, then fry In the 'iflng dish with butter. The popular oyster can be cooked de- .htfully In the chafing dish. To a little mon Juice and some chopped parMey Id a tablespoonful of butter, mix to- (her In the chafing dish until the butter nelted. then stir in the drained oysters Vhen cooked, they should be lifted out refutly on strips of buttered toast What Other Women Do Mrs. Georgia Jackson, nf Kitanning, has set a new world's record, hav. i Just completed a quilt containing IM) ocet.

Through thin parti tions he Is told In a dreadful, quavering tenor that Mr. Jones "has only one Idea about the girls and that's to love 'em!" he "wants to love 'em!" No wonder the unfortunate Brown feels ruffled f-r the nonce. lie lends a brief note In next door, asking his neighbor "In the cause of humanity" to please put the cat out of lis pain and Mr. Jones an swers the fall to battle like the famous fighter that he Is! nothor rvtrnoidlnaiy fact Is that "npti dnnr" children nrp nearlv always lighting with their small neighbors on the otner side of tho garden fence.

Across the Counter Unless something happens to stem the do and happens quickly, black stockings wl'l bo found on the shelf nnd nowhere else. Greens and blue of alluring beauty, mode, taupe, London smoke, every con ceivable shade of gray and brown from tho darkest to the lightest. Including tho natural tones of cream and fawn color, aro worn to the almost complete ex clusion of the black stocking. L.isle thread stockings can bo bought now In almost any shade, three pairs for $1. A stocking of a llttlo finer weave and a llttlo better quality of lisle thread Is sold for EO cents. This Is In all colors. The stocking with tho silk leg and the lisle thread solo and heel Is priced nt $1 usually, but In the subway stores It can bo found for less, sometimes for 03 cents and almost alwavs for 75 cents. There are pnlo Jinks and blues for evening wear and deeper shades for wear by day. These stockings are a-s good In ap pearance as a much more expensive stock ing, and they make a very serviceable dance stocking. A stocking thit Is very popular for wenr with the low shoe, the shot silk stocking, can be bought for II a pair. It comes In two colors or In red or blue or green combined with black. The stocking known as the silk brocade stockings 13 simply an open-work stock ing of an all-over pattern. The price Is $2 a pair for colors or black or white. (.'locked silk stockings are sold for $1 50 a pair that have a clock of a contrasting color or of black. The clock serves two purposes, as a decoration and as a means of giving the appearance of greater slendernesa to the ankle. Sugar Cookies Two pounds sugar, ono cupful butter, one egg. one cupful clabbered cream, one tenspoonful soda, one teaspoonful vanilla extract, one teaspoonful lemon xtract, one teaspoonful bak'ng powder; flour to roll soft. Mix as for cake, beating soda Into th cream until It foams. Itolt ns soft as possible and sprinkle sugar over the top and bake In very slow oven. If the dough Is allowed to stand 15 to 20 minutes before being rolled and the board and rolling pin are well floured thev can be handled much softer than would be Imagined and a better cooky will result. Eggs for Breakfast There Is no belter or more perfect breakfast than eggs. At the present time, howover, their cost la so high that th6y may have to he the exception rather than the rule, unless you learn to so pad jour egg dishes that the man with a hearty appetite will bi satisfied with one or at roost two eggs at one meal For the brain worker a well-cooked fresh egg Is of more value than three times Its bulk In meat and potatoes The hard worker may want some ballast beside his eggs, and for him we must build up some at tractive dish and add the ears to give the necessary nourishment. Salmon Souffle Two level tnblespoonfuls of butter, two level taDlespoonfuls of flour, one tea spoonful of salt, one-quarter teaspoonful or papriKa. one pmi qi iium, mm vuj. . stale breadcrumbs, one pound of cooked salmon, ono teaspoonful of onion Juice. on teaspoonful of chopped parsley, one teaspoonful of lemon Juice, three eggs.

The plain eult gives the accessories of dress a greater chance than tho orllltant colored coatumes of elaborate design. Hat, gloves, ahoes and fura, when they, too, are wojn, stand out against the background of the tailor-made suit. The suit Illustrated today is very simple and very attractive. It Is touched by militarism In the matter of frogs and metal buttons, but this la a happy touch for a variety of reasons. For one It la impossible, to have the debutante slouch and the military air at one and the same time. Certainly no one will find fault with the putting to tha Bword of that rcmarkabio carriage and gait For another reason the military cos tume displays the slender figure to ad- rWake up MfMkls ! Are you asleep at the telephone deaf to the call of trada opportunity that rings in the ear of the fellow who has the spunk not to throw up his hands, but to fight it out?

Again, It has a dash that makes It appropriate for young girls of the diffi cult age when so much In the way of dress seems either too old or too young, Tho bolt Is a feature of coats of many styles this season. It breaks the line In an effective way here. Without It tha coat would look dreary, buttoning, as It does, close to the throat. Tho skirt acquires a little oxtra fulncsa at the bottom by means of the loose-flying plaits at both sides of tho skirt This is an old fashion revived and on very good ground. It preserves the slenderness of tho figure ns far as the knees, nt the same time gllvns absolute freedom of movement.

She has the advantage of all those years during which lie has gained In understanding, mental balance nnd experience. An older man Is settled In hts actions! he la not likely to change. Ho expects less of a woman than a younger man, because he Is not so Ideal istic. He has ceased to took upon woman as on a pedestal, and ho sees her with her feet upon the ground, And, after all, the human attitude Is best. Women and Wisdom Don't expect your husband to be an understanding soul-mate. As the farmer said when he first saw tho giraffe, "There ain't no such animal." Tho little things a woman doesn't tell her husband lead to big misunderstand ings. N'o human being Is worthy of the love of another. If wo got our deserts, we would be badly off, Indeed. It Is seldom profitable to nrgue, be causo the kind of person who loves an argument can't be convinced. Flattery Is tho most Ignoblo of nil weapons.

If your forehead Is too high or your cars too large, wear nn adaptation of the faahtonablo coiffure. Extremes of all kinds aro vulgar, and If thchigh French roll brings out your less attractive fea tures It would be better not to wear It. Tho woman who makes tho proper use of nny stylo adapts It to hor own per sonal needs. WOMEN OUTSIDE THE HOME How One Woman Made Good A woman never knows how, when and where sho may be suddenly thrown upon her own resources. It would be well for every woman If she could learn some business to fit her for Independence and tho earning of her own living, If such oc casion should arise. In the case of many a happily married woman adversity has como In a single day. She has to turn out nt a moment's notice to earn hor own living, and often eho Is Incompetent nnd quite unprepared. Under these circumstances It Is very hatd for her to make any headway nt all. Not very long ago a woman was sud denly faced with a very gravo problem. The doctor told her that her husband was consumptive and must go up to tho moun tains Immediately to lnsuro recovery. Falling that, there was but llttlo chance that he would get better. He would re quire a complete rest and change for a couple of years at the least. Tho wlfo was devoted to him, and decided iiiat, happon what might, ho must have every chance and every care! This rest among the mountains would necessitate that ho give up hla business entirely, nnd sho had to face the problem of keeping her self and her three young children for the noxt two years. She had no training for any line of work, no money laid by nnd the outlook seemed very sad and uncer tain. But this woman possessed a very brave and determined spirit and decided that she must work at onco. From one of her husband's friends she had a letter of Introduction to one of tho partners In a largo department storo In this city. She went to him nnd told him of her sudden plight, saying that she was only too anxious to obtain work Immediately, and asking him to give her a position In tho store This partner must have been a discrim inating man. for he saw that she had capabilities and decided that he would give her a chance of "making good." lie told her that sho might act as sales woman at the silk counter for a week or two and that at tho end of that time he would give her tho opportunity of stating all her Ideas on the subjeot of silk. So this brave llttlo woman, like thou sands of other women suddenly thrown on their own resources, set to work with a will. Sho studied every llttlo thing that she possibly could connect with the buying and the selling of silk goods. In the evenings she read up all the Informa tion she could lay hands an, she thought C.

For rentuilcs women have been bending their hacks In every pleca of work they do. If It was to scrub the floor or pick up a handful of dirt or wash out a shirt waist, r.omo way, somehow, they had to stoop. And even now hundreds of women In every one of their dally tasks manago to bend their backs like croquet hoops or stoop their entire 180 pounds to the floor to pick up a match. Instead of this useless, constant and unnecessary waste-motion why not do the simplest thing In the world, via., put these various tools on a stick or on a handle and lift the article up to you In stead of stooping yourself down to the article? We now have a long handle dust pan J ono of the very best Is made of steel and with n wire handle. It Is to be laid on the floor and the dust brushed Into It with a long handle broom. Tho pan closes automatically, and may then ba plnced on tho left arm so that It can be carried from upstairs to downstairs with out spilling tho dirt. Another tool that has at last been put on a. handle Is our old enemy the scrub bing brush. Any one who wilt stop to think of the positively disgraceful appear ance a woman presents while flat on hor abdomen, and prostrate on tho floor In the midst of wet suds and surfaces, would surely be willing to put every scrub brush on a stick to stay there forever. To those women who say that tho floor cannot bo cleaned as thoroughly when standing by using tho brush on a handle, let mo sny that It positively has been proved to bo easier dono In this more efflclont way, nnd it Is only a matter of tradition which of silk nil day long and half the night long, tool She borrowed buslneas books and studied them most carefully, and, nbovo all, sho studied the wishes nnd the wants of all her customers thor oughly. Down In hor little notebook she Jotted alt tho doings of the day at the silk counter. She soon learned which silks wero popular nnd which were not. At tho end of three weoks, three very hard and crowded weeks for tho bravo llttlo woman, tho partner sent for her and asked her to give him all her Impres sions and views on the silk business. Sho talked so well nnd so Impressed him by hor suggestions and her foresight that ho decided to give her tho position of buyer at a salary of $3000 a year. Today she Is one of tho foremost busi ness women In Philadelphia, rcspeetcd by nil who know hor. Sho goes regularly to Paris, to Brussels, to Vienna, and until the outbreak of tho European war was constantly travollng back and forth across the Atlantic for her firm. Her husband Is now almost better, her children aro doing splendidly at echool and sho ts a happy woman, for Bhe knows that sho has accomplished something worth while and "made good." The Curiosity of Wives Curiosity Is most destructive to happiness. Eve stnrted the fashion thousands of years ago and Evo's daugh ters have followed It ever slnco. It Is not unusual to hear of the woman who escorts her husband home from his office. She has a perfectly insane curiosity re garding all his actions, so makes a habit of dropping In on him at unexpected mo monts. She will verify every word or excuse the poor soul says. She will even read his correspondence. This Is Inex cusable. Any man would Justly reBent such Intrusion, nnd whllo a wlfo's place Is a sacred one, nn honorable man's pri vate affairs aro Just as sacred. Good Hint About Beetroot When a beotroot Is bruised, do not throw It away as useless, as It will boil qulto well and no color will escape If the bruised pnrt Is put on to a hot Btovo for a minute or two, just to form a brown skin over tho bruised part. 1117-1119 Chestnut Street fitli holds so many women to the belief thi they must shale, their enUr. bodies u bruise their knees In order to mivl:' ,."- v. muruugniy eiean.

It Is not nee.....-' i to stoop over In order to apply the right; pressure to work. In fact, tho more on,: stoops the less energy one will have it' put Into tho labor. Raising tho set tubs' and raising tho kitchen table will ,05 raise tho efficiency of the worker.

French Women and Beauty, The French women were going to wild extremes for tho aako of good looks Juit before the war drew their attention t more serious things. Tho frivolous Porislenne, for Instance, would have wide-open oyc3. For this pur pose, tho corners of tlie lids were slit with a lancot every day. Even before they wero healed tho lids wero drawn outward. The results were satisfactory The straight. long, upper lip Is not a deslrablo feature. Tho French lean to. wnrd the curling style. To secuio this a silt Is cut across the lip. Then a mlnuu piece of flesh Is cut away. Tho cdgei aro pressed together and upward, and left to heal. If carefully done, this leaves no scar. An nncBthotlc Is required for straight ening tho nose. This, of course, is often grim necessity, and not a caprice. Tht bone often has to be rebroken, then re set. Tho pain afterward Is Intense. Thli can be avoided by tho use of hot paraffin to alter tho shape of tho nose.
