H
ON WINNING A MAN'S HEART
Ellen Adair Criticises the Varied and Devious Methods
Frequently Employed to the Above End.
That cynical, delightful humorist of tho
early 'Fifties, William Makepeace Thacke
ray, declares emphntlcnlly that any
woman, unless she actually has a hump,
can marry any man she pleases! He
chants a song of praise, howover, around
the fact that the llttlo dears aro like tho
beasts of tho field and do not know their
own destroying power.
There certainly Is truth In this. Tho
average woman does not realize tho
Weapons she Possesses. The hnrnlnn nt
Thackeray's famous novel, "Vanity
Pair," was an Insipid, sweat little crea
ture, with whom I have no sympathy!
Tho little vlllnlness, Becky Sharpe. was
Infinitely more attractive to my way of
thinking;! For she had brain and common
sense, and her designing Bchemes were
really so clever that one can torglvo her
R good deall Certainly tho men all liked
her! And why? Itccauso she understood
the gentle art of pleasing them' Pos
sessed, of very llttlo beauty, neither birth
nor breeding nor a balance In the bank,
the little Becky yet managed to charm
II tho men and worked real havoc In
many a calm domestio hearth! Iter own
oex, to a woman, hated her and utterly
disputed her meagre charms. But tho
men wore nit crazy about her!
No rnascullno heart can long withstand
tho Insidious onslaughts of tho eternal
feminine. Did women only understand
their own advantages thoy could marry
whom and whon and how they choose.
But they don'ti
"A woman," says ono of our most pop
ular playwrights, "can do anything with
a man as long as there Is not another
woman In the casol"
This Is a less broad, less sweeping as
Milady's Necklace
The smart woman has one bead neck
lace at least to harmonize or contrast
with her gown. Beads are very popular
Just now, and ono shop shows a great
many black and white effects. The largo
pearl necklace coming almost to the knees
Is being worn. Another Is of out Jot,
breast length, with balls of flllgreo silver
of the same size alternating. A very
effective combination Is of Jet and crys
tal with rhlnestones. Large triangles of
tho Jet are used, both dull and polished,
having bizarre rhlnestone centres and
bold designs on tho chains. A new Im
portation is the bandeau of dainty black
lace, lined with white net or chiffon.
This Is a substitute for tho volvot worn
so much last season. Pendants of rhlne
stone or cut Jet are fastened on these
bandeaux and make a charming sugges
tion for the elderly woman.
The Gushing Girl
"Oh, my dear. Isn't your hat tho sweet
meat thlngl And what a darling suit!
Isn't It perfectly dear of you to como to
see us. We think, so much of you.
Mother was Just saying tho other day
that she hoped that stunning girl would
come again. No, really I hadn't meant
to tell you, but It Just slipped out Tou
Just make me tell you things."
So speaks tho "gushy" girl Tou all
know the typo. She rushes excitedly
Into a, roomful of girls and embraces each
one tempestuously. Tou can always tell
tho gushy girl by tho embrace. She
makes everybody uncomfortable by her
candid and uninvited criticism.
"What a love of a bracelet! Did you
have another birthday? Jack's got such
good taJate." Oh. I beg your pardon. Of
course, I didn't mean anything. The
VorsMdea! I never heard of such a
jr Tl"
I(,ne great evil of gushing lies In the
...understandings It promotes and the
: encouragement It gives to that despicable
habit, flattery. The girl who deliber
ately flatters any one be It man or
woman for what she can get out of It,
Is to ba pitied for her Ignorance. The
principle Is wrong, In the first place, and
the result extremely doubtful. People
always see through flattery It Is a per
fectly transparent falling and the ffat
torer ends by being very heartily and
sincerely looked down upon.
So. It you are Inclined to be ovoren
thuslastla or demonstrative, beware of Its
next-door neighbor, gush. A girl has
to be her own natural self, and If that
self happens to be an affectionate one,
don't try to change. Be natural, speak
your thoughts and feelings as good breeding-
allows you to, but first be sure you
really mean Just what you say!
To Clean Metallic Lace
A fine powder should be mado of stale
breadcrumbs and ordinary washing blue,
which should be then rubbed into the
lace (first laid over a clean cloth) with
the linger tip till it becomes quite bright.
Next take a piece of clean, soft old
flannel and very lightly brush over the
lace until all tho crumbs are off. Finally
rub the laoe gently with a piece of soft
crimson velvet, after which It Is as bright
- and as good as when It was new. If it
has got very much pulled out of shape
An not attemnt to Dress it right with a
flat-iron. Tho only way is, before clean
ing, to gently and firmly pull ths hies
ata shape so far as is possible. In ths

pulled out and stack down -with a pin into

A Good Hint
In 'warming s, steamed puddlnr, or in
sUomlns; a stale cake, put ths article on
a, plata or a. fiat dish. Place the pudding

la pretty true granted that the lady sets
about things In the proper way!
"Men," a student of the human race
tells us, "at twenty fall In love with every
pretty f.ico they look nt; after twenty,
with every pretty faco that looks at
lliem."
Listen to that, O, ye damsels who
would win a man's heart, and then try
to extract tho groin of wisdom that lies
hid In Its exaggeration!
To win a. man's heart, show him first
that you have one to win. Be your own
bright natural selves. Talk to him as
Sou would to any dear friend. Better
still, encourage him to talk to you by
showing your Interest In everything that
interests him.
If you are witty, bo chary of exhibiting
your powers! Man prefers to amuse,

When a carpet Is soiled and black

Into a saucer, pour onto It a little cold

Tho black lead will then all be removod.
WA YS OF MAKING PIN-MONE Y
Again the stay-at-home girl turns to
a way of making pin money. Like the
taste of blood to tho tiger of the desert
Is the habit of making her own spending
money to the American girl. Once she
begins she seldom gives It up. unless
Dan Cupid catches her unawares. The
great trouble Is, some girls claim thoy
never see a, chance to begin I
Chances for the girl with clever head
and quick Angers are all about her.
Every peculiar circumstance of her par
ticular environment can be turned Into
money.
For Instance, a little shop In New Eng
land was originated by several clever
girls. It Is the daintiest little place Imag
inable and wholly and artistically femi
The Doting Mother
Thero Is a woman who lives across tho
street who has two perfectly charming
daughters. Wo have all acknowledged
that they are charming nnd thflr mother
claims so repeatedly. But people will
get on tho defensive when they hear a
mother talk of nothing elsel She sees
her children as paragons, forgetting while
she chants the monotonous litany of their
superior attractions that there may be
other mothers In the room Just as de
voted, If not so eloquent.
"I'm so sorry I was late, but I Just
had to watt to see Isabel! She has a
new dress for tho Engineers' dance.
Bht looked perfectly beautiful. They
said ah was the prettiest girl in ths
room at the last dance. She has suoh a
lovely complexion, and the boys fairly
rava over her yes," and so on, ad
nauseam.
Poor Isabel is a swet dainty little
girl, and thers are other sweet dainty
little gtrls oil over the world. A mother's
partiality Is certain to bo expected to a
oertaln extsnt bat as a continuous per
formance it Is, indeed, tireiomt. That
kind of woman is not too oonilderaU of
others' feelings either, The sam lady
was overheard speaking to a chum ot
her daughter's 'the other day.
"Why, bow do you do, Ellen. Ton look
very well. Indeed your hair especially.
I lor ths way you put It up. It seems
to go any way you want it to I Isabel
has such a time with hers It's so fine,
you know! But you can do anything with
coarse hair.
And again, "Why, Marjorla, I hear you
are working. How did your mothsr ever
oome to let you do it? I'm sure I'd never
let Isabel work In anyone's office. Why?
My dear, she's far too pretty. I'm sur
you're able to take cars of yourself,
though!"
A mother like this is a great drawback
to a girt She doesn't even allow her
daughter the privilege of making enemies,
to say nothing of friends. People get
so sick of hearing daughter's perfections
dunned Into their ears that they take an
unreasonable dislike to the girl. Poor
oblld, she is the innooont victim of her
mother's doting fondness I
Coffee Stains

WOMAN OUTSIDE THE HOME
Around
Tho weekly sewing class of the Equal
Franchise Society will hold their regu
lar meeting Thuraday at the society's
headquarters, 9th street above Chestnut.
The sewing will begin at 8 o'olock and
will continue until dark. The llttlo
aprons made by this class are very at
tractive. Plain whlto ones, light tan
ones and fanciful colored ones, decorat
ed with the "gingham dog and the calico
cat," are only some of the variotles they
offer. They have no equal suffrage slo
gans on them, so even those who aro
Indifferent to the cause may buy them
for gifts. The whole arrangement Is on
a practical basis; the goods Is bought
nine. The girls sell all kinds of attrac
tive articles In tinware and woodenware.
They make a specialty of Interior deco
rations to match, and for very little will
rearrange your rooms and furnish Ideas
for Improving them. Pretty garden bas
kets, watering pots for the summer pi
azza, serving trays, tea set, tray cloths,
caddies, china, etc, oven art nouveau
desk sets and fruit hampers are Just some
of the things these girls turn out
"But we're not artists!" Learn to bI

Hands and Feet
The great point In being warmly clad
is to attend first to ths warmth of tho
extremities. While the blood Is passing
through these small parts it Is rapidly
chilled unless ths heat Is shut in, and
thus ths covering of the legs and arms
I really mora Important than the cover
ing of the body. Chilblains on the hands
were less common a generation ago than
at the present time. The people of those
days wore woolen cuffs Instead of elbow
sleeves, and thus they escaped the colu
fingers which produce chilblains. We may
not core to go baok to the fashion of
woolen, cuffs, but we shall net look eon

For the Coming Christmas
Have you seen the new Initialed Turk
ish towels? They aro very attractive In
deed, and mako a charming Christmas
suggestion.
Tho Initial Is mado of French knots,
In heavy mercerized cotton. Instead of
being worked In the direct centre of the
towel. It Is placed at the extreme left,
above the border,
Tou can buy tho alphabet, all ready
to be stamped by pressing with a hat
Iron. This Is especially useful for the
woman with many friends, as a series of
separate Initials is very hard to get
hold of. Some of the Initials are done
in the popular all-white, but the colored
Initial to match the border shows up tho
work better.
The stores offer an almost unlimited
variety of designs. The tan, unbleached
towel worked In a little darker tan or
blue cotton is very pretty. Another
towel comes with a border In blue, pink
or lavender. This has a wreath In the
centre, with a place for the Initial,
which can bo done In white or color.
Thero are somo very stunning Bul
garian effects, wtth plaid border, and
large stripes. These work up very nicely,
and are a good suggestion for a man.
French Cauliflower
Take a cold cooked cauliflower, pass It
through a sieve, add two whole eggs,
two spoonfuls of whlto sauce or cream
and ono ounce of butter melted; mix this
all well together, turn it Into a well but
tered mold and cook in a pan threo parts
full of boiling- water; when ready turn
out, and serve either plain or with a
cheese sauoa.
Household Hints
When washing windows put f sw drops
of turpentine in the water. They will dry
much quicker and they will be olear and
bright
When curtain pins have been In use for
some time they aro apt to become rusty.
To remedy this, let them stand for a few
minutes In a cup of water, to which a lit
tle ammonia has been added. Then re
move and rub well, and they will look like
new again.
A tiled floor should be wiped over with
skimmed milk ones a week after wash
ing. It is a good plan to rub the tiles
with a little Unseed oil once jn two
months, and afterward polish them with
a clean cloth. '
Save all scraps of toilet soap, weigh
them, add a little water and dissolve In a
saucepan. Then stir In their weight of
fine oatmeal, mix thoroughly, and pour
into a tin to coot Then cut Into small
cakes.

COMPENSATION
A Mother Says
When I come In from a lone morn
ing's shopping laden with parcels, tired
out In mind and body with the wenry
waiting In crowded stores, the trudge up
and down dusty thoroughfares, nnd the
strain of trying to mnko $3 do tho work
of 6, tho rush of eager llttlo feet to
the door, nnd the glad cry of llttlo
voices "Oh, mummy, wo nre glnd you've
como back!" makes up for all my
weariness.
And when later, busy little fingers
search foverlshly through my purchases
for tho "s'prlso packets" they know
mummy has got for them this Saturday
morning, nnd three radiant, rosy faces
are held up to be kissed, I feel amply
rewarded for tho loss of the laco collar
I saw In Wnnamaker's, but Just couldn't
afford.
BUrtDENS-AND BLESSINGS.
"It's tho responsibility of children that
I couldn't stand!" people have confided
to me when they havo come, perhaps
at a tlmo when baby was teething nnd
Jackie In bed with a soro throat ond
Betty Just getting over an operation for
adenoids.
But, to my mind, that Is one of the
most beautiful things about motherhood
tho feeling that your babies depend
on you for ovorythlng.
And If to give Is mors blessed than to
receive, a mother ought to be thrice
blessed.
If she gives of hor best, working early
nnd late, and denying herself the small
est luxury that tho children may havo
necessities, nlie Is repaid a hundredfold
by the lovo of her children, for whom
no ono In the wide world really counts
but "mummy."
WHAT A MOTHEIt HAS TO QO
THROUGH.
Dark days must come days when her
cup of anguish Is Ailed to overflowing
nt tho sight of a beloved child sick and
suffering, when oven a mother's care
scorns to avail nothing, and all she can
do Is to watch and wait
But Joy, far exocedlng that of any
other Joy, Is hors when that child Is
given back to her from the dread Bor
derland, and tho weak, little volco
speaks Its first words of compassionate
thought for "poor, tired mummy."
Surely all hor anxiety was worth such
compensation as this I
"How you can stand betng forever
tied to the houso, I don't know!" ex
claims my unmarried sister, on tho rare
occasions when she manages to find time
for a flying visit to me at Philadelphia.
HER REWARD.
True, I nevor go to a dance beoauso I
can't afford a proper frock, and couldn't.
In any case, leave baby all those hours
to the Inexperienced care of a 16-yoar-old
colored clrL
And tho same reason holds good so
far as any pleasures are concerned that
mean trips to other cities.
But If I over harbor envious thoughts
of my sister, With hor smart frocks, her
week-ends In the country and never-ending
round of gaieties, I havo only to
oreep upstairs and look down on my son
and heir sleeping so peacefully In his
little cot beside my bed. One dimpled
arm thrown across the coverlet, his
golden curls forming a halo for the
sweet, rosy faco, to feel a deep wave of
happiness come over me, chasing all the
discontent away.
For, after all, my sister may have
many worldly advantages, but she hasn't
a cherub of her very own like mine!
Banana Fritters
Skin and halve the fruit dip In a nice
batter, and fry a golden brown. Squeezo
a llttlo lemon Juice over them, and sorve
with sifted sugar and cream. Baked for
20 minutes In a good oven and served
hot bananas aro very digestible and most
nourishing.
THE MISCHIEF-MAKING
"I Just ran In to congratulate you, my
dear! I read your engagement In last
evening's paper. Bob's such a dear) I
used to know him real well once. We ran
around together for a year or so, but I
was engaged to Billy at the time and
he was so Jealous! But I know you and
Bob will be happy. Wo used to get along
beautifully."
And with this encouraging finish to the
song of her conquests our pretty llttlo
Dora skips across the street Dora Is a
harmless, even brainless, little thing; but
she leaves behind her a heart saddened
by her chatter. Tho little brlde-to-bo Is
unhappy. What If Bob really Is a trlfler?
What If he really did have a bad case
on Dora and only loved her out of pique?
Worse still, what If his love Is only a
passing whim? Theso questions cast a
shadow over two Innocent people, and
cause a misunderstanding, or even two
broken hearts. And all because a foolish
little girl has not learned to tell the
vast difference between a man's atten
tions and his love.
Dora Is the kind of girl who leaves a
path of broken hearts behind her. The
great majority of thorn aro masculine
hearts, some easily mended, perhaps, and
a few are femlnlno hearts. For Dora
glories in "stealing" a man. The more
devoted the man is to Dora's friend, the
moro glory when his affeotlons nre trans
ferred. Engaged men are her legitimate prey.
She seeks them out and deliberately
plans within her pretty head to toko them
away. The man who can be so easily
won over is doubtless better lost, but that
doesn't epare the girt he leaves behind
html
Dora always makes a point of telling
the girl who goes with one man that
she has discarded htm. The truth of the
matter may havo been that he took her
out occasionally, and that was all. One
cannot blame men for being attracted by
a pretty face, a charming manner and
a dainty, fashionable exterior. Even

WHY NEW YORK GRADED
By 0. HOUSTON GOTJDISS
Hammer at a knotty
problem long
enough and you aro sure to And tho
nnswor.
New Tork city has been hammering
for years at her milk problem, which
was knotty enough to satisfy tho moot
exacting tasto In knots, and she has
found an answer so good that It prob
ably will be taken as a model for milk
legislation throughout ths whole United
State.
It Is nothing more nor less than a
system of grading and Identification. Un
der the old regulations, no matter how
conscientiously they were enforced, thero
wero a thousands loop-holes by which
tho unscrupulous dealer might escape
responsibility. Under the new ones every
quart of milk sold In Now Tork city
Is plainly and fully labeled, the label
bearing not only Its grade, but the futl
name and address of the dairy from
which It camo and the dealer responsible
for Its sale.
The gradlnr Is based entirely upon the
number of bacteria In the milk Itself.
This Is the only test that con be de
pended upon, for milk that Is old, dirty
or diseased Is bound to reveal the fact
under tho test of bacterial examination.
Tho dairies are Inspected periodically
and thoroughly and aro required to keep
up to a certain standard of sanitation
and to havo none but healthy cows In
their herds.
But these conditions aro regarded
meroly as a starting point for the grad
ing. Dairies falling to comply with thorn
aro out of the running completely, for
thoy are not allowed to sell milk at all.
Grade A, raw milk or cream, Is tho
purest that can bo produced. It Is also
fresh. Consequently tho bacterial count
Is verv low and disease germs of any de

Woman, Lovely Woman
The. days of tight lacing and its at
tendant agonies have gone by enter tho
era of comfortl Do you remember when
tho ,low collar was looked down uponT
And when you prided yourself on a wasp
like waist? And, lastly, do you remem
ber when you waited lmpatlontly for
soma one to hook you up?
As the practical and lasting remedy for
all theso evils, let us sing tho praiseB of
tho fashions. Tho V-shaped collar Is no
othor than a godsend. We look baok
upon tho hours spent In patiently clamp
ing IhoBO enemies to beauty, collar-bones,
to tho Impossible "choker" with regret
And aro not our necks alt tho better for
tho chango? After all, nature knows best
what things aro good for her children,
and the low, natural collar lino must bo
one of them.
The natural waist lino Is nnother bene
fit to poor suffering femininity. Tho
fixed, ghastly smllo of the dancer with
tight slippers on Is a gleeful grin com
pared to tho woman who Is all "pulled
In." Long llvo tho M-lnch waist!
A woman Is tho Inventor of tho snap
fastener. Her name may bo forgotten,
but her Invention, noverl The button-
down-the-front costume Is another first
aid to quick dressing. Tou can race madly
for tho last train and snap your fasteners
on the way a very safe proceeding when
yon can see what you are doing.
With all theso practical helps to good
looks, and more Important still, comfort
there is no excuse for the modern wo
man to wear the ancient agonized ex
pression. GIRL
girls admire theso things, why not a
man? Dora, has tho men all dancing at
tendance on her for a time.
The gap between "dancing attendance"
ond "true love" Is bridged only by Dora's
Imagination. Don't blame tho man. Just
because he Is a man. They are not so
lacking In Insight as you would bo led to
suspect. So don't worry If your Harry or
Joe wanders In Dora's wake. He'll come
back chastened, and, perhaps, shorn of
his Illusions!
Apples Baked

brown sugar, Jam or Jelly. Pare and core
the apples, keeping them whole; roll up

dries; then rocoat sprinkle with brown
sugar, put tho apples Into a pie dish,
cover with a greased paper and bake In
a Blow oven until tender. Be careful not
to overcook, or they may break. When
done remove the apple paring nnd All
the cavity with blackberry or black cur
rant Jelly, blackberry or raspberry Jam,
or whatever may be preferred; a small
piece of butter and somo brown sugar is
also very tasty.

HER MILK SUPPLY
they were tho newly rloh
This la ths
milk that reduces the babies' death rate,
helos children to crow ur sound and
strong nnd eaves tho lives of Invalids.
Next comes Grado A pasteurized milk,
which Is as puro In every way as tho
raw milk, but, being a little older, has a
higher bacterial count and must bo mado
safe by pasteurization. The cost Is not
quite so high as that of Grado A raw
milk and the milk Itself Is Just as good
for general use.
Grade B Is the lowest grade sold In bot
tles In retail. All of it must bo pasteur
ized, because Its bacterial population Is
considerably larger than that allowed In
Grade A milk. This does not mean that
it Is dangerous, because most of the bao
terla aro natives of tho milk world and
aro harmless. Tho pasteurization simply
keeps them from souring tho milk and
does away with the possibility of troupe
from any stray, outside germ that might
havo forced Its way Into these less rig
idly guarded circles.
Grade C is sold in wholesale lots of
not less than 0 quarto, and is Intended
only for cooking and manufaoturlai. It
Is doan, healthy milk, but Is oldcF than
the others and may contain many more
bacteria. Being pasteurized, It is entire
ly safe and wholesome for tho purposes
specified on tho label, and costs much
less than tho higher grades.
It took three years of steady work by
the exports who mado up tho New York
Milk Commission to arrive at this
practical and sensible method of safe
guarding the milk supply and at tho sams
time preventing both wasto and dis
honesty. Before tho regulations wore
made law, thoy were approved by ths
leading dairymen, veterinarians and milk
dealers, all of whom aro keenly Interested
In having the milk Industry put on a
safe and sound basis. It has settled the
question for Now Tork, and. Judging from
tho lntorest takon In It by other localities.
It will furnish a model for sensible and
permanent milk legislation throughout tha
whole country.
HOME-MADE HAT FOR A
LITTLE GIRL
The above charming little hat can
very easily be made at home. Fash
ioned in some of the newer shades of
80ft velvet, it is exquisite.
Orange Jelly
This Is very light and nourishing, and
It can often bo taken by a person who
would refuse n boiled ogg or a custard.
One-quarter ounce of gelatine, the Julco
or two oranges, lis ounces of lump sugar,
ono new-laid egg, one-quarter pint of
cold water.
Bub the sugar on to the orange rind till
It becomes quite yellow, then put It Into
a saucepan with tho water and gelatine
Cut the oranges open, strain their Juice
and put It In with the gelatine and water.
Let the whole heat till the gelatine is
melted, then remove the pan from the
Are. Beat the egg up very well. Allow
tho gelatine mixture to cool and then
pour It on to the egg, stirring briskly all
tho time. Havo ready a mold which has
been dipped In cold water, pour the Jelly
Into this and put It aside till It Is set.
It Is a very good plan to make a Jelly
of this kind in small cups, bo that tho
Invalid may havo ono cupful at a time.
When a large mold has been cut It looks
spoilt, but this will not keep good more
han a day or two In hot weather.
Nut Sausages
Put n pint of nuts through the mincer,
add them to a cupful of granola mois
tened with hot milk. Season well with
salt, pepper and a pinch of ground sage.
Form the mixture Into round cakes, and
bako them 20 minutes In a buttered pan
In the oven. Dish them on a hot platter
and surround them with savory tomato
aauoe.
