" i t f 10 t' tittrt, EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBERjJilli FEMININE FASHIONS AND FANCIES THATFASCMATE WOMEN mTHDOMMDWlT ABOLISHING BRIDGET EXTRAVAGANCE IN WOMEN f Ellen Adair BelieDcs That It Can Amount to a Vice. The extravagant woman In essentially Ik IBotlem product arid hns hnii tiri nn Rlfhanda lately, not only among the rich, tut etumily nmonif those bf somewhat Unfiled income. Tliat this great falling of the modern woman Is Infectious can ol he denied. It can amount to a regu lar anil almost Incurable vice, almost as demoralising as drunkenness or jumbling. The fuel which feeds the Dame of the modern woman's extravagance Is not nee ssarlly an actual, love of pretty things antf luxuries, nof h craving for nne ral jnetit. More often It Is a case of sheer rivalry. ami a yearning to eclipse one's neighbor! Mrs Drown nnnrnrn In n ,. fur coat, which she claims has cost her forid husband 150. Immediately Mrs. Jones determines that she must surprise the vicinity and her friends therein hv a. fearrnent even more daisllng than that ot - Mrs. Brown. The former's husbnnd mny itb a nmnuer income man her neigh bor's, but she takes little count of that. So out she rushes and buys herself a fur coat Just a shado more expensive than the other woman's. Now deep In her heart of hearts, Mrs. Jones mar have no Inclination to wear that fur coat apart, of course, from the on great Incentive of eclipsing Mrs. IJrpwn. She may even see pulto clearly that her fur coat tends tt make her somewhat amole nroDorilons seem IwIpa as large as before! Yet she cannot bear to think that her neighbor possesses Something she has not hence her fool ish and needless Investment. I think this spirit of emulation Is at the root of the modorn woman's ex travagance. The other day at a recep tion I overheard two married women talking. "My dear" said one. "Just look at tnat lamp over there! I must get ono for our drawing room Just like It! If Mrsi Brown can afford such a pretty thing as that, so can we!" "And I want to get a rug Just like that one over therel" replied her friend. "Whenever I get home I shall ask John to buy mo one! If. would be the making of out- parlor, don't you think?" These women must have seen lamps and rugs equally beautiful In the big de partment stores dozens ot times but not until' they saw the pretty things In the house of a friend did they commence to really covet them. The man who Is burdened with n wife of this type Is to be most heartily pitied. No matter how much he may spend upon her diversions and whims, she Is never satisfied, never contented. Like little Oliver Twist, she constantly "asks for tnore'." but unlike him, the more she gets the more she wants! I think that the extravagant woman is to be pitied almost as much as her un fortunate husband. For she Is not a happy person, and never will be, unless she cures herself nt this dreadful falling. That from the mnlrlmonlal point of view she Is n failure cannot be denied. For rrnrrlnge Is a partnership and she Mrgets that esbcntlnl fact In business- life, no man would spend the money df another ruthlessly and Unfairly, If no wisnea to conduct affairs honorably, it is just ns unfair for the wlfo to spend the hard earned Income of her husband needlessly and extravagantly as for a business part ner to do likewise Hence the extravagant wife steers the frail bark of love straight for the rocks. I think that more divorces arise from this great falling of nomnn than from any other cause. No man will long endure the tremendous Inroads a woman bf this sort wilt make on his means, unless he be a fool. He mny give her many chances to reform, hut once It is clearly borne In upon him that she nnd her fall ing are together Incurable, he will seek the only course left him, and probably gel a separation. Then to thr unfortunate woman will come the Inevitable thought for con solation that she. nnd she only, Is to blame for the sad turn of events. Her desire to eclipse her neighbors, to de ceive the world by living In u manner far beyond her husband's purse and It Is open to question whether the world Is ever really deceived on such a point nnd her Inborn snobbery hnve proved her un doing. For extravagance Is a form of snobbery, and a rather contemptible form, too. Another point nboitl the extravagant woman Is tlmt. nlthntigli she mav spend n great dent of mnne mi her clothes, she Is frequently ver luidlv dressed. "I haven't a thing fit to wenr, jou will orten hear a womnii of this sort ex claim. Vet jou know that sno hns wnrd- rooes ami trunks crammed full of gowns and suits and ribbons The explanation Is to be found In the fact that the ex travagant woman seldom "thinks out" her clothes. She buys Indiscriminately, without any sort of scheme regarding what is necessary and useful. The economical woman, on the contrary, may be Infinitely better irnrheil n im.. every occasion. And why? Because she looks ahead, and plans out what she needs and what she can do without In the matter of raiment Hence as each occasion arises, she has something suita ble to appear In, where the extravagant woman rakes wlldlj through a variety of gowns nnd suits nnd finds nothing just right.

FIRST AIDS USEFUL TO KNOW If a person should faint In a crowded apace, where It Is Imposslblo to lie down, sit him or her In a chair and drop the head. between tho knees. The feeling of falntness nil! soon pass off. If tho person Is In what Is called a "dead faint," place on a bed or sofa, with the head lower than the body. Then apply ammonia or melljng salts to the nose, and when the patient begins to recover, a drink of cold water. Never let a person who has faint ed remain In an erect position. A sprained anklo should be Immersed In water as hot as tho person can bear. Kcp It at this temperaturo for about an hour and a half, renewing the water-" ns, fast as It cools. Then put on a bandago tight enough to prevent any movement of tho joint. Tho recovery depends upon the absolute prevention of any motion. It Is a bit early for frost-bite, but every one remembers the zero weather of lost 7 ear, and It Is well to be prepared. Never permit warm water, warm air or a fire anywhere near the parts frozen until the normal temperature is restored. Hub the frozen part -with snow and apply lea Water. Be sure to keep the patient In a cold room. The circulation should bo re stored very slowly. When reaction comes' on warm milk and a little bit of stimulant should be given. Persons suffering from a stroke by lightning show a lessening of the strength of circulation, a weakness of tho pulse and the breathing Is slow and audible. Give a stimulant, apply a hot-water bag to the body and secure absolute rest for the patient. The Servant Problem There Is no problem of dally life more difficult for the housekeeper to solve than tho servant question. So much has al ready been said on tho subject Ideal servants have given their experiences as a solution and, of course, they failed entlrfc!ysbecause they -were Ideal ser cants. There Is much td be said on the servant's side, as well as on the abused mistresses' side. A few hints from a woman who has kept the one plain, or dinary servant mold (neither better nor worse: than the average) may be of use "to the housewife. First of all, never display ill temper !f you can help It, To be Justly angry Is one thing to be loudly Irritable and fault-finding over trifles Is another. Give the maid an outline of her work for the coming- week. Tou are pot ex pected to tell her every separate detail", put she can do better work If aha h some idea, of her duties. Have your meals at stated hours and adhere to them. Nothing Irritates a servant more than to be compelled to cook five or six times a day If you have young boys, make them come In time for meals. Never forget to pay a servant promptly, tet nothing Interfere with this. She de serves her money if she has worked for It, and no servant will stay If her money is delayed. Try to administer any necessary re proofs In private. The. servant Is sensi tive, just like any one else, and should never m reprimanded before strangers. Take every care of your servant's com fort. Sb deserves a good food and covering as your means will permit Never slight" her meals or bed coverings. Many women do this, strange as It may seem. Il.rrrftng for her day out. and keep to ftTTJon't aslc her to change It for every engagement you happen to make. As lea, as she gets only one day a week, don't Interfere wth It THE CHILD'S LUNCH BASKET The child's lunch basket should he care fully picpnred, with an eye to cleanli ness, compactness, nutrltlvo values and attractiveness ns well. The little fellow opens his noonday lunch and finds his sandwiches all crushed In by a heavy applo plnced carelessly on top of them. The cake Is all dried out and crushed as well and the sandwiches are soggy. Do you wonder that the child throws away his lunch or picks out what Is edible and goes hungry for the nftcrnoon? A little care would save all this troublo nnd nvert tho consequences of malnutri tion from your llttlo boy or girl. A few general pointers on preparing the lunch basket may be of help to you First, line the box with clean, new waxed paper. You can buy this anywhere for 5 cents a roll nnd it Will last n good while. It Is invaluable to wrap around smdw Iches. for It keeps them moist and prevents me bread from getting Btale and unpalatable. Sandwiches are a very good, staple food for tho schoolboy. They are so easily rnndo and so filling. You can use cuts from meats cooked for meals, cheese (grated, so as to be digestible), water cress, plmentocs, olives, cream cheese, etc., to Insure a variety. Children get tired of the same thine- all tlm tim n you should try to change every day. A piece of good cake, a chnrlotte russe or coffee cake should be added, to give the chljd a chance to gratify his taste for sweetB. Kach article must bo wrapped separately In waxed paper. A piece of fruit finishes tho menu, and this should vary as much as possible, according to the season. " . . . . . ...-...- . . - .. I J liHsMsWBsK i Fl KiIIIIIIIIIIHHIEmHh3 .'

By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS Food Expert. Is She in Love? As a rule, nn ordinary girl does not think of a man as n lover, or perhaps even realize whether she herself could care for him In that capacity or not until rite hns received somo special sign ot his Interest In her. Then it ertnes to pass that she begins to conxldpi him ns iipnil from other men friends, nnd she end cm oi a to nscertnln her feeling toward him. Does he make other men of her ac quaintance appear uninteresting and of alight Importance In her life, so that she discovers that she Is nnxlous to have his opinion and advice on all matters that concern her7 Does a long talk with him bore or please her? Docs she find herself talking to him frc-ly, or Is the entertaining of him nn effort which sho would shun? Is a festive occasion from which he happens to bo nbsent robbed of some of Its Interest to her? Does she "see his face all faces nmong," catch his voice, though a dozen others are speaking? Do her ihcck. unconsciously, begin to glow nt his coming? If her eyes smile a welcome, timid, yet sweet, tho waiting lover ma speak safely, for his time has come. AN. ATTRACTIVE LITTLE FROCK THAT THE FLAPPER MIGHT WEAR EFFECTIVELY MODES OF THE HOUR A problem that Is presented by present day fashions can be solved only by watch ful waiting. One sees what is apparently a one-piece frock until the wearer makes a few necromantic passes nnd emerges, ns from a shell, In a drcBs of another color. Or one may Innocently admire what ap pears to be a smart-looking coat and then discover that It Is not removable, but merely one of the many forms that the one-piece frock can ussume. The drop skirt Is a factor In confusing tho Judgment. For, while tho circular skirt nnd the whirred skirt arc now es tablished stjles, the drop skirt holds Its place and Is seen In the very latest mod els. Frequently It serves as a contrast to the bouffant lace or chiffon of the over dress In a concoction for evening wear. And times without number It Is used to carry out the creative scheme of a dress mnde of two materials or two contrasting colors. In some of the frocks of, recent design the drop skirt shows only when the wear er Is In motion. It Is of the snme length or even shorter than tho outer Hklrt, which is circular and with big ruffles at the foot. Tho foot, by the vvny, Is mero ly a form pf speech, for these enormously full skirts are usually at least eight Inches from the ground. This means the smartest of footwear, and stockings that match the cloth upper of the gaiter boot are not simply sur mised but seen. . Tho voguo for the colors known ns sand nnd putty Is not 'confined to shoes and stockings and hats, frocks In these colors In combination with black volvet arc .delightful, or with somo one of the beautiful furs now fashionable. Tho wlprtom of fur as a choice of trimming may show up In a high light In the next few, years,. Telts have never been died and treated successfully In una country nnd the furs of this sea son will probably prove to be the furs of several seasons to come. Thero may be a famine In velvets, too; but speculation leads to a vicious circle, for nothing is known and to Invest In things now for fear of not being able to purchase them later on might be a prudent mistake. And that Is always moio trying than a foolish one. The llttlo frock sketched today Is a frock, "pur ct simple," and not a coat, as ono might fancy at first glance. The velvet bodice, with the glrdlo attached, buttons In simple fashion from the throat to tho waist Hue, which Is rather high. In accordance with one of the prevailing fashion rulings The open tunic Is plaited and finished with ii wide band of velvet, and cuffs of volvet finish the long sleeves, which aro mndo of the cloth of the drop skirt and the tunic. The hat worn with the costume Is a Jaunty little affair, with an Indented brim, suggesting tho petals of a flower. In the place of a feather fantasy as nn ornament, a bit of fur Is wired and stands upright. Its position secured by a bit of gilt braid. Trust and Mistrust The greatest thing In the wide world Is love, nnd It Is also the most beautiful. Unluckily, It of tens wnlks hand In hand with the blackest and ugliest of feelings Jealousy. No sight Is moro dreadful than the Jealousy of a lover. He Is so full of anguish that ho becomes possessed with a cruel longing to visit his sufferings upon his beloved, that very same one whom he would hnvo died to shield but lately. Now she Is the target for his arrows of mistrust nnd unkind suspicion. Even though unfounded, his fears make him to be pitied, slnco they cause him such Intenso pain. True lovers should never be, nnd seldom are Jealous. Their affection Is trustful, and so they are never torn by the pangs of Jealousy, which, after all. Is only a form of mistrust. Nor have they any need to be so tormented, since they keep clear of any conduct that Is likely to bring about Jealousy, True lovers never flirt and so they avoid giving ench other reason for unhap Plness. She can shrine no other man In her heart, and he no other maid. And so It comes to pass, and deservedly, that perfect peace In love Is the lot of true sweethenrts aloYie. A Rimp of rnen' living In Mnlc''r' N. J. have decided to abolish cooking from their homes. But the are n. going to starve; neither are they go ng to drag Uclr families to a boarding house. They have organized a co-operative kltcheh in which this work Is going to be done In the future. Thus at one stroke they Intend to do away with the dally worry of planning people; of supcivlslng the servants; of and buying; of haggling with the trades washing greasy pots, p-ns and kettle, and of serving dried, warmed-up dinners to their men folks, who are delayed on the way home from the city. The leader of the enterprise, which Is to bo known as the Montclalr Co-operative Kitchen, Is Mrs. H. A. Leonhauscr, i.. -,if o i-.tirci 9 mv officer, nrs. Lconhauser. during her life at various army posts, snw a great deal of uncio Sam's methods of providing for his sol diers nnd their families. She watched the preparation of officers' messes and proved to her own satisfaction that the Idea of a central kltchsn, which supplied meals to a given number of families, was entirely feasible and a great sav ing of time, troublo and expense. She also learned that It was quite pos sible to avoid the two rocks upon which such co-operative enterprises as the one which she contemplated having alw'ays split: namely, the community eating which made such serious Inroads Into the charm and privacy of the home, nnd the limited bill of faro which Insisted that everybody should cnt the same thing on the same day, whether they liked It or not. Feeling sure that she would have the enthusiastic support of her fellow-towns-women, she called a number of her neigh bors together and explained her plan to them. At once they fell In with her Ideas, a stock company was formed with shares at 110 each and the projected en terprise put upon a business footing. Tho keynote to the whole scheme Is tho necessity of catering to the Indivi dual If It succeeds, the trlumnh will be due In no small degree to the fact that each one who electB to get his meals from this central kitchen will be able to have Just what he wonts, when and how he wants It. Anyone who Is Interested may become a member of the company by subscribing for a sharo of stock, although people who are not members may order and eat all the dinners and luncheons they please. Every day a postcard folder will be sent to all subscribers, with the dishes to be served the following day, and from the list they wilt chooso their dinners. All prices will be plainly marked, and be sides this a la carle service there will be n regular tnblc d'hote dinner for 60 cents, which will Include soup, roast, vegetables, salad and dessert One dinner may bo ordered or a dozen, nnd the housewlfo may go to the matinee without tho mentnt agony of wondering throughout tho play how her dinner Is coming along. CATDRINQ TO THE INDIVIDUAL. The Montclalr Kitchen Intends to pre serve the Individuality of the meals served by giving oach subscriber what he or she wants. The "crank," the vege tarian, the dyspeptic and the eplcuro will all be considered and attempts made to please them nil. Then, to get away from the Idea of community eating, the subscribers may have their dinners sent to their own homes, and, if desired, maids can be sent along to servo them. Spcclalntalners nnd thermos Jars will be provided for the delivery of these meals, so that thoi food Is sure to be kept hot and In perfect condition until It Is served. This last feature will be especially at tractive to the people of Montclalr, for no matter how lato the men folks may be, It will not worry tho housekeeper. ' UNDEIt EXrBIlT MANAQBMENT. The kitchen Is to bo provided with all the most modern nnd emclent ranges and cooking apparatus and the most attrac tive silver nnd table accessories. Beauty has been the constnnt aim of the plan ners and the dining room Is extremely harmonious nnd restful. A dietitian Is to havo charge of the making of the menus nnd the com pounding of the dlsh,cs, a trained house, keeper will attend to the tnnrketlng and the general preparation of the meals nnd a graduate of the domestic science de partment of Columbia University will give part of her time to the figuring of prices. Most important of all, It has been an nounced that nothing but tested and api . proved pure rooas win ue used. WILL BANISH KITCHEN TIIOUBLBS. The most obvious advantage to be de rived from this scheme Is of course the absence of cooking In the homes of tits subscribers. There will bo no purchasing, no preparation, no smells of cooking and no laborious scouring of pans. Along with this will come the advantage ot skilled buying and planning, the economy of buying In large quantities and the saving of ful. A LOGICAL DEVELOPMENT. Large scale production has proved Itselt to be economical and efficient, and, with the exception of cooking, all the Industries once confined to tho home have gone Into the factory. Cooking, however, has never been much of a success outside of the home, for the simple reason that human beings havo different tastes and desires, and that thoro who prepare meals as n business are seeking profits rather than to satisfy their patrons. Community kitchens hnvo never realized that they must make all sorts of varieties of things to plensc alt sorts of people. But Just as the shoe manufacturer uti lizes the samo machinery, the same building, tho same genernl materials and the samo workmen to make all kinds of shoes, slippers and boots, sp tho com munity kitchen, considered as a "food factory," can and must so vary Its products with the same equipment that all Its customers aro pleased. With this as Its underlying principle, therefore, nnd with the assured backing of a large number of subscilbers, there seems to bo no reason why the Montclalr Co-operative Kitchen should not succeed and serve ns a model for tho whole coun try to copy.

Successful ridicule has almost eliminated the cllnglng-vlne sort of girl, but as long as Eve's daughters survive, variations on the clinging type will survive too. A man will never admit it, but should the secret get out, you'd find that every one of them has fallen for the clinging vine once at least. Which Is easily explained for let a clever girl get an ordinarily Inter esting, vain, mere man Into her clutches and flatter him, ever so little, the trick Is done. He succumbs with Innocent child like trust to the subtle heralding of his virtues abroad, and listens with a rapt expression to the tale of his extraordinary accomplishments. Whethej- or not women are born cling ing vines, or simply aoqutre It, la an open question. One woman answered this way; "Of course a woman means to be a clinging vine. She's Just a clever schemer and knows exactly what she's doing all the time She clings to a man with exactly the same motive as a woman has when she adds the finishing touch to her gown or coiffure. It may be the fin ishing touch (o a faithful but timid de votion, and If a woman wants a man enough, she'll get him, you can bet on It." It may. Indeed, be the "finishing touch" i -s JI,votlon' In a different way He might become disgusted and, leave entire ly. You never can tell, and the clinging vine should have a pretty good Idea of his character beforo sho tries tho ex periment . '""isfllnslng-vlne sort of girl can't help herself, says another woman, "she's born that way. that's" nil She hasn't any backbone, or any intelligence, and falls Into the arms or the first man she meets. A woman should be independent and make a man know that he's only nn Incidental, not a necessity." This rabidly feministic viewpoint shows you how women who "do things" look upon the drone In the hive of busy work ers. That Is the usual objection tr th clinging vine, she is seldom good for any thing else. She depends upon every one around her, both man and woman, to wait on her, and to take her responsi bilities. A wife of this kind Is a dreadful drawback to a man. He may love her dainty, feminine ways, but when she clogs the wheels of success for him he soon gets disgusted. Besides, the old tradition about man making the first advance n tho game of love Is, like all traditions, sacred. Men keep to tradlttons, at least those regard ing women, with great care, so If you want to make advances In a cllnglng vlne sort of way remember to do It In such a way that he will not rind It out. As long as he thinks he is the aggressor peace Is assured. fOR THE ANEMIC GIRL Remedies That Will Improve Her Health.
