MOTHERS DAY OF REST

When the command was given, "On
the seventh day thou shalt not do any
rte, thou, nor thr son. nor thv daugh

TftJthy cattle, i.or the stranger that Is

rest Was commanded tor the entire fam-
Uy, the wife was purposely excluded?
Because even unto the present day, while
father reads the Sunday paper and the
children gayly go to Sunday school,
, mother often stays at home to prepare the
flIg Sunday dinner, so that Sunday Is, In

Sunday Is so frequently a day of late
breakfasts that the heavy meal In the

and people overeat unnecessarily. And
again, even If there Is a substantial
dlnnor, there Is another demand for
supper, and so the tired housokecper
faces the same old problem of three
meals a day.
How can It be solved with happiness
and comfort to all? To some tho plan
of a heavy Saturday night dinner proves
successful. Since Saturday Is generally
a baking and cooking day, the plan of
having a very substantial supper on
that night Is tn harmony with the usual
Saturday work. Many men come home
earlier on Saturday and this gives tho

additional leisure necessary to enjoy
a good dinner. Or If there must be a big
Sunday dinner, It can be cooked on Satur
day, and needs then only a slight re
heating on Sunday. There Is no reason
why a roast eaten on Sunday must be '
roasted on that day. It can bo roasted
for two-thirds of the time on Saturday
and needs only a 20-mlnulo reheating.
Similarly with vegetables, gravy, soup,
all of which can be made on Saturday,
so that a half-hour work on Sunday will
see the heavy Sunday dinner on tho
table. Any woman would rather do this
and have more time for genulno rest,
church or reading. I cannot understand
why so few families follow this plan.
Sunday suppers need be no burden If
there Is to be only one hot dish, which
can perhaps be made In a chafing dish
directly at tho table, and so not deprive
the family or guests of tho hostess'
presence. There arc so many kinds of
moat loaf, cold meat sandwiches and
light desserts which can bo prepared
the day previous, oven to slicing and
laying on the dishes, that there seems
not a leg to stand on for the hot-cooked
dinner on Sunday which makes mother
lose her day of rest. As long as a man
gets a satisfactory meal, he cares llttlo
about when the time of Its preparation

wife take a walk with him or sit with
him or play over a piece of music than

own fault. The man has nothing to do
with It, and If the woman makes Sun
day b. day of work, It Is her fault and
none others.

C to a p. m.
cause. The idea of "getting all you can"
out of a man is the mistaken Idea of
many, many girls, today.
The man who isn't "good" for a theatre
or a dance ones a week, a luncheon or
dinner at some hotel, la discarded very
quickly. Girls do not know enough to
ask oompanlonshlp of a man; they de
mand continuous entertainment And any
novice can tell you that none of us,
however, brilliant or intelligent, can en
tertain a person continually. Thus tho
Bettys discourage a serious-minded man,
alnoe he falls in the entertaining quali
fication, and take a bit of every Tom,
Dick and Harry's time in preference I
And all because Tom, Dick or Harry"
hallmark Is "more money than brains."
Baked Sheep's Heart
Two or three hearts will be sufficient
for an average family, After welt clean
ing and draining the hearts fill them
'with forcemeat composed of fine crumbs,
a little lean, minced bacon, a teaspoonful
or two of minced onion, salt and pepper
to season. Fasten a sites of fat bacon
over each heart, and put them Into a
pie dish with a little stock and an onion
stuck with one dove. Bake two hours,
drain off the gravy, thicken it in a small
saucepan, with flour and butter, and pour
It over the hearts. Serve wtth mashed
potatoes, browned on the surface.
Haricot Soup
These beans require to be soaked in
cold water from, tt to 39 boars, then put
lata a pan of cold water and a little salt
added. Set over a dear lire or gas. When
the water coms to a boll, pull saucepan
back and allow all to simmer slowly until
the beans are qute tender, some beans
require three hours, asd as. the water
Inimsrs away add more. These beans
may be then used for putting Into any

To Raise a Table
If the kitchen table Is too low to work
on, take four common door stops which
screw Into wainscoting to prevent door
striking tho wall, and screw on to tho
bottom of each table leg. This raises the
tablo about three Inches and make It
moro convenient for a tall person. The
doorstops aro neat, and could not be de
tected as being other than parts of tho
legs themselves.

held particularly for new members of
the club.
To Wash Colored Stockings
Colored stockings are rather troublesome
to wash, owing to the color running. To
prevent this, do not use eotla or rub soap
on them, but put them into a good lather
of soap-powder and tepid water. The
feet only should be rubbed, the other por
tions squeezed gently In the water. Af
terwards rinse them well tn tepid water,
and Anally allow them to stand for one
minute In water to which a handful of
common salt has been added. Hang them
to dry In a shady, airy place. After
washing fine black stockings it will be
found a great Improvement to rinse them
through blue water.
The Larder
Aii larders should be hung with glazed
washable paper, so that the whole of the
cupboard or room can be washed with
hot soapsuds to which a disinfectant,
such as carbolic, permanganate of pot
a eh. or other purifier, must be added.
Nothing is more fatal to the preserva
tion of perishable food than the use of
paper as a lining to the larder shelves.
Open Fruit Tart
Butter a pan, roll out paste to the
thickness of half an inch and line the
dish with It; prick a few holes in the
bottom of tt with a fork and bake the
tart In a brisk oven from 10 to IE min
utes. It the paste cool a little, then
fill in with preserves or stewed fruit of
any kind; place a few stars or leaves
which have been previously out out of the
paste and baked, and the tart Is ready
for the table. By making it tn this man

The Heart Courageous
There are two ways of facing trouble
Inevitable trouble. One can either accept
the fact and took around for ameliorating
circumstances, then gird on one's armor,
and face the foe, ifnd make as brave a
fight as possible, so to speak. Or one
can cry and moan, spend what opportun
ity of happiness remains In futile com
plalntngs nnd vain regrets, and voice the
resentment of an atom who Has come In
contact with the world force and does
not like it.
Which Is the more dignified attitude,
which the worthiest or a human being
who has been endowed with reasoning
powers for life's guidance?
Some people regard this matter of trou
ble as others regard that of tho weather.
Sunshine suits one person best, we will
Bay Therefore, In that one's sight there
Is no reason why the land should not
always bo flooded with sunlight, why
health-giving rain should not bo banished
from tho land, If wishes were nt all likely
to affect tho arrangement of such matters
Thero Is no life which has not Its al
ternate sunshine and rain, and the es
sence of a useful philosophy lies in recog
nizing this fact, and refraining from use
less complaints and regretsWhen the sun
has temporarily sunk behind the storm
clouds
There Is an attltudo of mind which looks
for recognition in tho absence of material
trouble.
"Having lived a good life, having done
mv duty to tho best of my ability," such
n one will say, "Is It right. Is It fair, that
I should now be visited wtth darkness and
misery?"
Another and a finer typo of mind will
see trouble in tho cleansing flro from out
of which character will arise purified and
strong.
Everything depends on the attitude of
the ono who Is facing calamity, or what
seems like calamity at the time.
Aftor tho expenditure of much effort
and pain on a plan, especially when tho
plan seems, so far ns human knowledge
goes, to be of undoubted benefit to one's
fellows. It I" dcuibtlci-s hard to have tho
ground cut from under ono's feet, to
realize suddenly and clearly tho pitiful
smallness of one's Idea and conceptions
of usefulness In contrast with a decree
of a higher wisdom.
But the one who takes upon herself to
arguo and to defy Is pitting herself
against an Immeasurable force.
Llfo, to possess Its full value, must of
necessity consist largely of plans and
ambitions.
But there comes a time when the di
rection Is taken out of ono's hands, and
when the bowed head or acquleecenco Is
the wise attitude. This does not mean
defeat to the wise woman.
Rather she will experience a sense of
relief that the decision has been removed
from her Influencing, and that, having
done her little best In the game of life,
the direction of affairs U In more com
petent hands.
The Suffrage Movement
Last Friday's open-air meeting under
the auspices of the Women's Equal Fran
chise Society, at 9th and Chestnut
streets, was a great success. Mrs. Scott
Nearlng3 speech was a very stirring one,
and 00 pieces of literature were given
out.
This week's open-air meeting will take
place next Thursday, November It, In
stead of Friday, at noon, at Ninth and
Chestnut streets Tho speaker will bo
Miss Florence Sanvllle, secretary of the
Consumers' lcaguo.
Mrs. William Albert Wood will speak
at tho open-air meeting Thursday, No
vember 19, on the human welfare point
of vlow, with regard to suffrage. Mrs.
Wood is quite on experienced speaker,
having dono much toward aiding the
cause by speaking at county fairs, Ken
sington, Chester, City Hall Plaza, etc.
She was also grand marshal for the
suffrage parade in this city, in Washing
ton nnd many others. Her connection
with the suffrage movement Is a very
close one, and the meeting promises to
be as Interesting' as Its predecessors.
Snapshots in the Market
The price of meat Is rapidly rising
since the closing of tho large cattle
yards. Just now the prices ore as fol
lows, although they will surely rise:
Leg of lamb sells at 25 cents a pound.
Roast beef costs 22 cents a pound.
Ham sells at 30 cents a pound.
Veal cutlet sells at 35 cents a pound,
Shoulder of pork costs IT cents a pound,
Sirloin steak Is 30 cents a pound.
Leg of mutton sells at IS cents a pound.
Chickens, roasting, sell at iS cents a
pound.
Stewing chickens sell at 23 cents a
pound.
Pork chops are bringing 23 cents a
pound.
Meats are still soaring In price. The
latest prices quoted are:
Pork tenderloin sells at SO cents to 35
cents a pound.
Rump steak Is almost a luxury, selling
at 23 rents a pound.
Round steak sells at 25 cents a pound.
Celery-fed Long Island ducks sell at 28
cents a pound.
Sweetbreads sell at SO cents a pair.
Squabs range In price from 60 to 75
cents a pair
Best country sausage is 25 cents a
Pound.
Scrapple is selling at 14 oenta a pound.
Gleanings From the Shops
Just as the fall modes in gowns and
hats have shown a decided and unmis
takable change, so those delightful
feminine fancies in neckwear show a dis
tinct variation from those of last aeatDn.
One of the smart shops on Fifth avenue
is exhibiting the daintiest and most
fascinating collar and cuff sets imagina
ble, fashioned of the sheerest handker
chief linen in pastel ahadea. One such
set in a ddlcate peach-blow shade Is ex
quisitely embroidered; another of pale
blue Is plain but for the plcot edging.
These trifles vary tn price from S3 to i
a set, For the stay-at-home girl who
has, perhaps, a very moderate amount of
pin-money but much leisure for the
choosing and making of Christmas gifts,
these little colored sets would be idea
to make, as they require very little In
genuity, merely a reliable pattern and a
few spare hours and would be vastly
more appreciated as gifts than so many
of the perfectly useless presents with
which one is laden at the holiday season.
Colored Waists
When washing colored waists the
water should be only lukewarm, with
some shavings of sood household soap
added. Rinse in plenty of clear cold
water.
It the waist is pale blue, the color will
be improved it a lump of alum la added
to the final water. .
For mauve, try a flvt-eent lump of am
monia, dissolved n boiling water.
Pink or red material shuold have a
little vinegar mixed with the rinsing
water te preserve the coior.

RIDING HABIT AND WALKING
SUIT COMBINED
BEAUTY AND
Miss Ltna Cavalier), "the most famous
living beauty," as somebody called her
rather sweeplngly, perhaps gives the fol
lowing suggestions about preparing for
bed:
First, wash tho day's grime completely
off the face. This Is not so easily dono as
you Imagine. The grime Is a stubborn
thing, and adheres to the face in minute,
burr-llks particles. Soap and water Is
not enough; tho skin must be cleaned by
means of oil or cold cream. Oil la tho
speediest cleanser, but since It Is liable
to have a yellowing effect, a few drops
of benzoin should bo added for whitening
purposes. Shako well before UHlng.
A soft piece of cheesecloth or absorbent
cotton, saturated with the oil, Is used to
waBh off the first coat of dust The sec
ond should be removed with another piece
of cloth. The color of tho cloth Itself
will tell you how oftsn this Is necessary.
Then bathe the face in warm water and
a pure soap.
The Girl WTio Travels
The girl who Is starting on an extended
trip will find it difficult to select the
proper things for her trunk. Of course,
this depends on whether you stop with
friends or In a hotel; whether you go
out for- social conquest or to see the
sights. The following bints may give
you some help if you adopt them to
your personal requirements:
Take a tailored suit for traveling. Blue
serge Is the most serviceable for general
wear. Have It made plainly the Eton
style, or the Norfolk Jacket with large
patch pockets Is stylish and useful, too.
Tou will need one nice blouse. It may
be of chiffon to match your suit, or to
ccntrast with it. The Georgette crepes
are especially good, for they may be
rinsed out at night In warm soapy water
and look as fresh as new in the morn
ing. Several of your everyday blouses, or
a couple of China silk ones, will give
good selections to be worn while in the
train.
If you are going where it Is likely to
be cold, a sport coat, or a heavy top
coat 'of some rough material Is Indispen
sable. Buy a pair of plain tan capeskln
gloves while on the way. Tou can save
your white kid ones for the "occasion,"
then.
Wear a pair of old. comfortable shoe
on your journey, Tou can have the
whole trip spoiled by a tight shoe. Bring
along a dress pair, too, however, as
you'll need them In the evening.
Beleot a plain hat The soft velours
are especially attractive this season.
They are much more sensible than the
trimmed hats. Nothing shows wear so
quickly as a hat full of feathers or
flowers, and traveling gives everything
herd wear. Beside, your feathers will
be better off at home, it they are of
any value.
One evening drees is usually enough.
Crepe de chine is much worn, and can be
taken out and hung in the air on your
arrival. In a very short time all creases
will have disappeared. Black with some
bright touches of color, deep blue, egg
plant seal brown, etc., are good service
able colors. A slight deeollette Is better
than the extremely low corsage for hotel
wear, unless you are going to stay for
some time.
These are only suggestions, but they
have been of service to others, and
might be worth remembering'.

MODES OF THE HOUR
RUing Suits So Constructed That the Skirt Can Be Re
moved Altogether.
Riding astride has beoome so popular
that many of the riding suits are con
structed In such a way that the skirt
can be removed altogether, as In the pic
tured habit presented today.
It Is a costumo In which two things are
always essential, extreme smartness and
utility, the latter also carried to tho
farthest point With this In view, the
skirt of the model Illustrated Is not only
on adjustable ono that oan be dlsponsed
with as a skirt, but It will also serve
duly as a capo when It Is unbuttoned
from hem to waist.
The breeches worn underneath are
shaped on the same lines ns a man's rid
ing breeches, and make, with tho many-
pocketed coat, a riding suit as practical
ns that worn by tho average man.
covert cloth Is the material used, the
shade that Is neither brown nor green,
and that will defy wind and weather and
stilt seem new after hard service.

Almond meal Is more advisable for the
skin, says Madame Cavalier!. It is more
expensive, but it softens and whitens the
skin, leaving Its texture extremely dell
ate. If you find that your sldn Is grow
ing drawn and leathery-looking, use the
meal very freely, for nothing save cold
cream so effectually softens the skin and
refines Its texture.
The gradual spreading and sagging of
the features which takes place after one

the nose gently every night massaging
from the flare of the nostrils to the point
of tho nose. Do not bo too vigorous In
the treatment or the noso will become
permanently red. The upper Up must
also receive careful attention. This
feature Is loosely hung and npt to spread.

FOR THE BRIDGE PLA YERS
Everybody Is playing Auction nowa
days, so a few words about the gome
may be of help to some one.
It Is more advlsablo to make your first
bid a spade If you are dealer. It often
happens that your partner or opponents
will bid your best suit so In either case
(unless your cards are exceptionally
good) It Is better to "lay low."
Don't make a two-spade bid unless you
have all four suits securely stopped. It
mteleads your partner nnd will in all
probability put you up.
A one-bid In a suit presupposes that the
bidder holds "two honors and three."
That Is, two honors nnd three spots.
j. lie proper requirement for a "boost
ing" bid when one partner raises the
original bid of the other Is one honor
and two spots.
Don't boost your partner when you
have nothing but a line of trumps. Tou
may find yourselves "trump poor." Side
suits are much more Important.
As soon as you get tho lead, take as
many trumps off tho board as your hand
allows. Always remember to count tho
trumps.
It Is very unwise, as well as unpardon
ably rude, to do what Is commonly called
"hogging" the bid. If you have good
cards, play them by all means, but allow
others that privilege occasionally, too.
The dummy should never by look or
movement indicate any play to his part
ner. This is a serious breach of bridge
etiquette.
If you are leading; against a no-trump
declaration, and yp.ur partner has made
no bid, the third highest of your longest
suit Is advisable.
In playing a nullo hand, take all your
tricks In the beginning when possible.
It U usually pretty safe to return your
partner's Jlrst lead-that of course, de
pends upon his mode of playing.
The player who knows exactly when to
double an opponent's bid in auction and
what he should have tn his hand to double
successfully has learned by experience.
These pointers do not come to us all at
once, nor can they be governed by hard
and fast rules, because of the fact that no
two hands in auction are alike. Each oc

Includes breeches made of the same raaj

woman's wardrobe.
Covort cloth, corduroy, foresyb elothi
Scotch tweed and English melten are all
effective and durable for all-around sporta
wear. Blue and blaok are not ohosen oa
frequently as they once were, the ten
dency being rather toward the browns,
including taupe, and the gTeens and
grays.
For formal riding the Derby and the
stiff sailor are usually chosen, although
tho high hat Is" preferred by some women
stilt. But for country wear the soft hata
of velour or felt or corduroy are very
attractive.
The one pictured Is made of corduroy
that matches the suit In color. It is
pulled well down over the head, but It 1
worn at the angle prescribed by fashion
for the majority of the hats of the present
season.
At any gathering of fashionably dressed
women, where hats of all shapes and
kinds are to be found, It Is noticeably
rare to see a hat worn without tho sharp
tilt. And then It Is almost certain to
be one of the brlmless hats, n toque of
some variety.
These little hats are being sold with a
veil already attached. Tho very newost
way of wearing a veil Is to have It
come from under the hat and to allow
It to fall straight without being gathered
In or up at the back. To Insure its posi
tion It is basted securely the entire round
of the hat.

A Cooking Hint

try sprinkling a llttlo vinegar over the

Tou will find that the mint can be chop

casion must be governed by Its own peeu
liar circumstances or the habits of tho
Players themselves. Cards show person
ality very plainly. There Is the cautious"
bidder who oftentimes could go up to a
two or three bid, but Just doesn't do so
out of n naturally unadventuroua spirit.
There Is the technical bidder, who always
declares when he haa simple honors or
mio uce una nve. There Is the conserva
tive, dependable bidder, who declares as
accurately as possible what is In Ma
hand and lets it go at that And lastly,
there Is the outlandish out-bidder, who
tries to play every hand In the game and
who misleads his partner entirely by bid
ding on practically nothing. He declares
?. flu,t ' "hlch he may have two or
three, his partner has honors and Doosta

clares he only was trying to boost his
opponents I
Doubling, you may see, depends upon
a number of circumstances. Tou must
always take Into consideration the meth
ods and tactics of tho declarer. If you
are seated to the declarer's left, doubling
is not so advisable, as the bidder can
lead through your strength to the dummy
hand. If, of course, you are seated at
the declarer's right, you stand a better"
chance of making something out of your
hand.
Simple honors, or one honor and four,
good side suit a series of small trumpfi
and a short suit, are only some of tha
things to double on. The actual success)
of the play, of course, cannot be foretoldl
