A BAS THE GARBAGE PAILl
u
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
AUTiiOrt Of "TAB NEW HOUSEKBKflrTO."
tne last decade has done nothing

fJlalliaUon of sentiment Against the
angers from the ftv. We have trailed

tohcllfsive'ly thnt the garbage fall Is his

Jfl to thank for odors and disease.
fit our5 transitional period between the
time when garbage was fed direct to
stbc'k on the iarm and thun disposed of
Imply but enVclcntty and the period w hen
we hoped to rid ourselves entirely of a
garbage problem by methods of Incinera
tion, t wo havo had W endure the Insani
tary garbage' pall.
But that wo are coming Into a better
solution U evidenced by the number of
excellent lnclnerlt.es on the market.
ilatt$1-,of these are In use In prlvato
homes, still more In apartment houses
and Institutions. And until the city
tikes hold of the garbage .question, an It
has so ably done In certain small cities
abroad, w look to the Inclnerlte for the
Individual householder. All makes of
these or modeled, on somewhat similar
lines 'that of a cast-Iron, stove-like fix
ture with a grnto lilted to bo oper
ated by gas. The interior grate Is so
made that when it Is filled with gar
bage the heat can be turned on and the
garbage consumed In a comparatively
short while. Borne of the models nro
flush with the wall! others project like
a smell stove. There Is no odor, gas or
amoks, as the device Is connected directly
with the flue.
Preferably such a fixture ahouV bo
connected near the kltohen range or
Ink, where refuse can bo directly do
posited Into It The usual size will hold
the garbage of an entire day, which will
require one Incineration only of about
half an hour or less. It will burn to a
char papers, rags ana wet garbage, the
time required depending on the wetness
of the garbage.
That the Installation of such devices
would greatly reduce the unpleasantness
of the usual methods of garbngo collect
Ins; on a dumb-waiter by a Janitor, goes
without saying, nut Its especial advan
tage Is from tho sanltnry point of View.
Because with such a device there would
be no garbage pall In the kitchen. Also
tho cost of service would bo lessened to
en apartment houso owner, who would
need n porter the less to look after gar
bage disposal.
For thoao of us who live In detached
houses," such devices are still possible.
They make all the difference between a
high standard of housekeeping and the
dangerous presence of a fly-breeding pall
Papers, too, offer a problem to many who
havo not permanent Janitor sotvlco. More
households should use the wire rubbish
burners, which can bo kept In the
kitchen while In use, but lifted out and
burned completely In any vacant space
Tho wire here Is so well made and the
device so convenient to lift and handle
that It Is Indispensable to those living in
suburban or detached homes. It is so
much better and safer than wicker bas
kets, boxes or receptacles.
Those who must still put Up -Uh the
ordinary gnrbago can and who have a
yard or ground can have an under..
isiuunu garDage receiver, which partly
solves tho problem by keeping tho pall
safely out of tho house, away from ani
mals, until Its permanent removal. A
plan tried in Boston was that every
person should use a specially made paper
bag In tho garbage pall. The garbage
was well drained, and when tho collector
V......O ,IO mmpiy removed tho bag of gar-
bago. leaving tho pall much more pleas
ant and sanitary. The way garbage Is
handled and tho dally condition of the
garbage pal Is a true Index of tho call
nro of tho housekeeping.

Words That Help
The infinite goodness has such wide
.arms that all turn it.
The best thing to give to an enemy Is
forgiveness; to a frlond, your heart; to a
child, a good example; to yourself, re
spect; to all men, charily.
Life's real wealth consists of little
things.
If we fling away ono cross wo shall as
suredly find another, and probably n
heavier one, awaiting us.
If you would draw tears from others,
first show your own.
Paradise is always where love dwells.
there Is never but ono opportunity of a
kind.
Flattery Is the falso coin to which our
vanity gives currency.
There Is nothing so kingly as kindness,
nothing so royal aa truth.
Hardships seerrtB harder at a dlstanco
than close at hand. Tako courage, there
fore. Wo know that we must part to meet;
wo do not always know that we part to
meet again.
When to Wear Your Jewels
Wise men of tha Emit rUelnrn that r.
The n Preclus stones havo certain Influ
ences' upon their "wearers. Some stones
should also only be worn on certain days.
All white stones, except the diamond,
may bo, worn on Monday, ' thero being
special good luck In the moonstone.
Tuesday should see red stones, such as
tho ruby or garnet.
"Wednesday calls for blue turquoise or
sapphire or aquamarine, to wit.
Thursday you should1 dress in red and
wear garnets.
Friday demands green.
Saturday allows purple amethysts and
other similar Jewels.
Sundays brings blue stones once more,
or those that have a changeful sheen in
which blue apppears, such as the opal.
By the way. the East reckons the opal
a lucky stone, except tho fire opal, in
which a demon dwells. In all other opaU
an angel is concealed, who guards the
wearer from poison, plague and lovo sickness.
The Electric Grill
iJtsHI
' ifggSaiBliS
'SH
The apartment house dweller will ap
preciate tha new electric grill. It is the
meat useful thing Imaginable for tho
fanrtly of two, eopeclally if little Mrs.
Nswiywed knows very little about cook
tug. The grin Itself consists of three pans,
mad of steel, with nickel plating, placed
on on top of the other. The pans differ
in depth the two-Inch one can hold an
egg, or enough potatoes for two persons.
Thero ia also a grid, and a one-inch pan.
and a real shallow one for sauces, etc.
Thla U a very saving arrangement, for
you can cook several things at tha same
time, all In tho one grill. For Instance,
while your steak Is broiling In the pan
below the heating element, you can make
the sauce in ono pan, hash-browned po
tatoes in another, and toasted crackers
on the grid.
The whole elta on a troy, fixed by fibre
Insulated feet. This removes any possi
bility of burned linen or scorched tables.
These cost only 15.00. and the early bird
who Is looking for Christmas suggestions
will profit by looking them over,
Are You Tall or Short?
It is not really all-Important whether
one has a few extra Inches or not, If one
Is careful to dress so that whatever is
licking to perfection Is. as far aa possi
ble, rendered unnctlceable by the ordinary
ye.
There are one or two simple rules that
commend themselves to the attention of
both short and tan girls. For Instance:
A short, stout girl often passes by the
long coat which would best suit her
figure and seizes upon a short Jacket.
She la woefully mistaken She would in
crease her apparent height by the long
Uses from shoulder to foot, and she
tnleeea a good point In overlooking this
tuot
On the other hand, a lanky nttl4n
would look her beat in a short coat, as
It would break the length of line she
already Pummu too abundantly.
Strifes, If perpendicular, are for tha
gin wno wouia ka addithwal laches; aad
If bertsental. only for the very tall one.
Dress Tips for the Matron
Don't think that, Just because you have
grown-up dnuchtcrs. It Is your duty al
ways to wear a frumpy black dress. Your
daughters, nml every ono else, will like
you much better It you take pains to
mini: yoiirscii iook nice.
If you havo too much color, as some
matrons have, never wear cither black or
whlto closo to your face. Cream or string
color or molo will suit you much better,
for they help to take down the color.
If you arc colorless and sallow, never
wear a dull dresa nnd hat without a
touch of brightness somewhere. A red rose
under the brim of your hat, a scarlet
sunshade, or a little flame-colored bow
or piping on your dress, will do wonders
for ion.
Don't wear a sports shirt, with a turn
over collnr and sailor-knot tie. These
things nre very nice for girls, but they
don't suit you. If you want a shirt, have
ono that hooks down the back and Is
finished by a neck-band with n little mus
lln stock.
Don t drag your veil too tightly over
your foco. Put It on rather loosely, so
that It may soften your features a Httlo.
Don't wenr a hairnet If you can pos
sibly manage to keep tidy without It.
They are dreadfully unbecoming things,
which add years to a woman's age.
Grandmamma's Pot-pourri
Who does not love tho old-fashioned
fragrance that exhales from an ancient
Jar of long-ago pot-pourri? And It Is so
very slmplo to make this dear old scent.
Here nro directions that any one with a
garden can follow.
Tako a quart of dried rose leaves that
have been lying In salt for about a month.
Put this In a glass Jar, on the bottom of
which reposes two ounces of bruised all
Bplce. and tho same of stick cinnamon
broken Into large pieces Leave for a
month, closely covered, stirring It dally
from ton to bottom.
Have ready nn ounce each of mace, '
k.iMiiu.iuun, cioves ana auspice coarsely
ground; the same amount of sliced ginger
root nnd nutmog; half as much aniseed,
four ounces of musk nnd six of dried
lavender flowers.
Put the rose leaves Into the permanent
Jar, alternating with this mixture and
moistening now and again with a gill of
pure alcohol. Any other flower may be
added, if preferred.

MODES OF THE HOUR
it
A Thought for Today
Try to rejoice in your friend's Joy. even
if your own Borrows seem overwhelming.
Unselfishness brings Its own reward, In
that it takes one's thoughts from oneself.
The same confusion that came to Flora
McFllmsey, of Madison Square, who with
a wardrobe full of frocks still had "noth
ing to wear," comes now to tho woman
who must buy a suit or coat or frock.
It Is much more difficult to chooso from
infinite variety than from a limited ono.
Coats are waist length, they are hlo
length, they are kneo length and they
are still longer. Whatever skirts aro
now, the tendency of the Immediate
future seems toward tho gored skirt
that flares or tho circular skirt
There Is really only one positive rule
that can guide one now it Is to choose
tho length of coat that Is most becoming
to the height and figure and the style of
skirt that one prefers and leave the future
on the knees of the gods.
As to the material that one selects,
variety is again the stumbling block.
There was a time when ono could choose
between broadcloth and serge or cheviot,
between elegance and utility. But now,
while serge nnd broadcloth are still fash
ionable, yet so are gabardines, zlbcllnes,
velour materials, to say nothing of simi
lar fabrics with different names and vel
vet and plush and imitation fur or fabrio
cloth.
It Is not only In its surface quality that
fur fabrio has been wonderfully improved,
but In Its softness and its pliability It
seems like another textile.
It Is used for the collar and cuffs of
suits made of the plain materials and also
as a trimming for suits or frocks, and
It Is an admirable choice either for con
trast of color or material.
fur fabric has been used this season
with telling effect in suits that combine
broadcloth with the fabric cloth.
Tho skirt of broadcloth has a wide band
of tho fabric cloth at the foot. The
Jacket Is hip length and close fitting,
distinctly military In style and is made
entirely of the fabric cloth.
That It makes a very handsome suit.
Just of itself, is witnessed by the one il
lustrated today.
The skirt shows the ripple at the foot
that prevails now with the gored skirt
as well as the circular skirt, and tho coat
Is a law unto itself.
Nowadays, even the large department
stores duplicate the same style a limited
number of times only, and the specialty
shops not at all. Any woman who has
the leisure to take the dressmaking course
In some good school, If it Is only long
enough to learn something of the techni
cal side, will find that she can design
clothes that suit her far better than those
fashioned for her by the average dress
maker or tailor.
The little coat pictured is belted in at
an elongated waist line In front, the belt
starting at tho sides, while the back drops
below.
THE GIRL WHO KNOWS IT ALL
Correapendente of general InUrcit
te WMnts readers will be printed on
(HI page. Sosti earretpoodence should
be aadsed to the Woman's E4iir,
It JUST because she went to college she
J thinks she knows everything. Why,
my dear, I heard her correcting her own
mother tho other day. And she's always
raving about Emerson's theories, and
Browning's philosophy, and a lot of other
stuff nobody understands. She only does
It to impress upon people the big Idea
she bas of her own Importance. Why
the last time we had a club meeting I
saw her get that poor little Jones girl
In a corner and give her a regular free
language course. She asked her a lot of
questions about grammar, and told her
not to say 'It was me' again. She's got
more nerve than I have, all right. I
wouian-t aare correct ono of my friends."
"If s very evident ehe knows very little,
or she would never be so rude. A lady
wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, people
fall to bo impressed when you spend your
time singing your own praises. It's all
right to a certain extent, but when it
comes to this highbrow attitude excuse
met"
This Is the way most women feel when
they come in contact with a person of
this kind And there are plenty of them,
too. It is not unusual for a woman, or
even a girl, who thinks she knows It
all to correct someone older than herself.
Age makes no difference. The lofty
opinion shj has of her own perfection
leads a confidence which Is sheer bold
ness. One particularly astonishing Incident
happened at a small tea. Tho ladles were
all sitting around sipping their tea and
perhaps gossiping a little. One lady was
twining in a quicK, vivacious manner,
and using violent gestures. She was a
foreigner, by the way, having lived on
this aid only a few months. In the
eourM of her animated conversation she
mispronounced a word Another lady got
Up stiHly. crossed the room, and took
out the dictionary Nobody noticed her
studying it until ehe remarked loudly and
clearly "Ah yes, here It la I thought
you didn't kw, dear Mrs. Blank, that
we say ear-tcaUtre over here."
Of oovjtm, tha poor woman ws dread
fully embarrassed and so was her hostess.
Be sure and guard against this fault, as
it U often noticeable to others. Many

your modesty and kindness. It is the
only way to gain friends, nnd to keep
them, as well. Truly, "a little knowledge
Is a dangerous thing."

Dreams and Their Meaning
Seashore For any one to dream of be
ing on the shore, watching the tide ebb
or flow, denotes that the dreamer Is go
ing to experience some vicissitudes in life
of nn unpleasant and perplexing nature.
Floating To dream that you are float
ing on the sea means that you will escape
many difficulties and dangers, and have
to travel much. At last, you will settle
In your native town, marry well, and be
happy for life.
Anchor If you dream of an anchor, It
Is a sign of great assurance nnd certain
hope that wilt be fulfilled.
Wrecks To dreim that you see the
wreck of a vessel oulto near the shore
means that ft person In whim you have
trusted will turn ngnlnst you.
Sailing To dream that you are sailing
through smooth waters denotes prosperity
In your Undertakings; but If the sea Is
rough, you may meet with misfortunes.
Rivers To dream of a river denotes a
long life.
Stars If they appear clear and fair, the
sign Is good for n traveler, for It means
a prosperous voyage, also good news. But,
on tho contrary, If they seem pale and
Indistinct, trouble Is then foreshadowed.

It's very often Just these tiny, trifling
points of tnsto by which jur neighbors
Judge us. You see, they don't know nnd
can't know nhat we are really like, bo
they havo to form their opinion of us
by means of things which are, In them
selves, often quite unimportant so much
so that we hardly waste a thought on
them.
A CASE IN POINT.
Thero's tho question of note paper, for
Instance. I wonder If you have ever
realized how many strangers nro going
to form nn Idea of jou from your note
paper and handwriting?
I remember onco staging with an old
lady who had advertised for a compan
ion. The post was an excellent one, and
tho nppljcatlons enmo In shoals She
didn't give herself tho trouble of open
ing them nil, but threw straight Into the
flro thoso Hint were In thin envelopes, or
had ugly writing on them, or smellcd or
scent, or ncro untidily stuck up. I ven
tured to remonstrate nt last.
"Do you think you are treating nil
theso people qulto fairly?" I said. "Some
of tjiem may bo excellent companions,
even If they do write In squlggles and
scent their letters with violet essence"
, "Very true, my dear," said tho old
lady. "But a woman who docs theso
things will do others of tho same sort,
nnd, however excellent and worthy she
may be, she's not the right companion
for mc. I don't need to open her letter
n order to bo qulto sure of that "
I remember once being very badly "put
off" a new acquaintance by the merest
trifle. Wo met nnd were Introduced to
each other at nn afternoon party. She
was beautifully dressed, and I admired
her very much till we eat aown. men
her rather tight skirt hitched Itself up
over her knees, and showed a cheap,
common, mud-splashed molreen Under
skirt. CHAIUCTEniSTICS THAT COUNT.
It gave mo quite a shock, for the com
mon petticoat was utterly out of keep
ing with her tasteful, expensive gown.
But, when I came to know her better, I
found that that llltlo trifle was quite char
acteristic dt her-she was exactly the kind
of woman who had "all her goods In tha
w Indow, nnd only rubbish In stock."
People will very often sum you up by
the way In which you behave under lit
tle dlfflcultlea-a missed train, an unex
pected shower of rain, a splash from a
passing cab, n tiresome delay. With
out meaning to do so, they will often
watch you, nnd Judge you by what your
face nnd manner show when, for tho mo
ment, you nro shaken out of your con
ventional composure.
The smallest personal details of dress
ore very characteristic, too. Haven't you
heard people say: "She's the sort of girl
who would wenr a string of beads with
a cotton shirt," or "She belongs to the
vast nrmy of Stocklngs-that-are-sllk-whero-they-showand-cotton
- everywhere
elso Girls" 7
I once knew va woman who divided all
her acquaintances Into three classes:
Well-gloved, Badly-gloved and No-gloves-at-all.
Others, without meaning to be at
all prejudiced, will often tako a dislike
to a girl at sight bocause she happens
to be wenrlng nn ugly collar or a style of
tie that they do not caro about.
If you want to be a successful woman,
who Is universally popular and admired,
you'll find that a very short way of,
reaching this end is to make up your
mind that jou will never think any de
tail too insignificant to be worthy your
serious consideration nnd careful, practi
cal attention.
THE LITTLE DAUGHTER
Train Her to Be Neal and Orderly -
NOW Is the time to put Into tho little
miss of 14 or 15 tho orderly habits
which will fit her to keep her future
home. Every girl ought to look upon her
own room as her own Httlo home-to-be,
and this Is Just tho case. You can look
Into a girl's bedroom today and see tho
same careless habits which will stamp
her as a "Bloppy" housekeeper, or tho
same methodical arrangement which will
win for her the praise of husband and
friends.
'Mothers often spoil their daughters for
married life by taking all tho domestic
burdens oft their shoulders. No girl
should havo much to do outside of her
regulation school work, but still she must
have a certain amount of responsibility.
Responsibility is a mental ballast, the
dividing lino between the shallow, useless
girl and her more reliable sister. Other
mothers go to the extreme of giving a
girt too much housework, and tho result
is Just as disastrous. The girl becomes
so completely disgusted with housework
and all that pertains to It that she neg
lects her home from sheer reaction. Be
sides, she may marry the first man who
comes along, Just to get away from
home. The result of such a marriage can
bo Imagined.
Tench your young daughter lifelong
habits of personal cleanliness. Teach her
10 enro ror ner fingernails a little bit
overy day and allow her to get a profes
sional manicure soveral times so sho can
learn to do It herself. Ono wise mother,
whoso Httlo daughter was given to biting
her nails, gave tho young girl a lovely
manicure set for a birthday gift After
teaching her how to use each separate
article nnd showing her the charming re
sult, the child was so pleased that she
took a pride In keeping her nalli nice.
Another thing the young girl should
learn is to caro for her clothes properly.
Let her mend her own gowns, adding
hooks and eyes, buttons, frills and col
lars, etc., where they nre needed. If the
child develops any ingenuity fn this re
fE60,1'.1" ner try ""king a hat out of
the leftovers from last season's chapcaux.
If you notice a shoe button missing or
holes In stockings, a button conspicuously
absent on the front of a blouse, havo It
remedied at once. Unices you are decided
about theso points, your daughter will
grow up a careless, untidy woman.
Your Birthday
There Is a very old rhyme that pithily
forecasts the character of tho fate of
every babe according to the day of the
week on which it hapened to be born.
Need It be said that, as In another case,
"Sunday's the best day of all"?
Born on a Monday,
Fair of face;
Born on a Tuesday,
Full of grace;
Born on a Wednesday,
Merry and glad:
Born on a Thursday,
sour and sad;
Born on a Friday,
Loving and giving;
Born on a Saturday,
Work for your living;
Born on a Sunday,
Never shall want.
So there's the week,
And the end on't.
A variation is, "Wednesday's balm is
full of woe, Thursday's balm has far to
go." The rest coincides in the two
Jhymes.
Some Bridal Hints
All who kiss the bride nfter the cere
mony before tho husband does so securo

Tho earth Is cold and desolate.
I would that life were done!
A hand was clasped In mine,
Two hearts forever one.

THE HOME ENTERTAINER
Milady's Toilet Table
The face shows the result of fatigue
quicker than any part of the-human body.
The eyes beepme dull and black-ringed,
the lips droop and the cheeks become
saggy. No girl wants to have these
things happen to a pretty face, and yet
fatigue is rather Inevitable either for the
busy business girl or the social butterfly.
Since the fatigue Itself can't be warded
off, the results of fatigue should be fore
stalled as quickly as possible. Many
young girls have an aged, almost ema
ciated appearance from too much running
around and falling to care for their
health.
One of the danger signals of fatigue is
flashes before the aye. If you find
things about you dancing for an Instant,
you had better rest for an hour or so.
If this is not possible, go to the open
window, draw In several long breaths
of purs air and slose your eyes. Recall
sfime pleasant scene, person or experience
you have enjoyed. Just for a few min

Remedies for Neuralgia
A good many people suffer from facial
neuralgia this time of year. Sometimes
It Is not always facial, unfortunately, It
extends down to the shoulders and chest
This is said to be incurable, and la, prob
ably, but there are several remedies
which will relieve the pain temporarily.
The hot water bottle is a tried and true
old standby, and deserves its popularity.
Capsicum vaseline Is another home rem
edy. On the principle of a counter-irritation.
It burns the skin like a mustard
plaster. This will relieve the pain in a
short time, if greased on a cloth and
laid on the aching parts.
A few cases of neuralgia are accom
panied by anemia. In this case it Is
best to take a tonic. Arsenic, quinine
and iron compounds are good. Any
blood-building foods, such as eggs and
milk, red meats, fresh fruits and vege
tables, etc.r will build up the system.
The pain can be lessened by using the
following ointment:
Vaseline ,,.,,.,,,., 3 ounces
Extract of belladonna , H ounce
Belladonna plasters are good for neu
ralgia of the chest. No opiates should
be used except with a physician's advice.
Borne people prefer the Ice bag to the
hot water bottle; either Is good, which
ever one gives the more relief.
To His Lady
Her minds' a garden, where do grow,
Sweet thoughts like posies In a row.
Her soul is as some lucent star
That shines upon us from afar.
Her heart's an ocean, wide and dm. "
Where swirling waves of passion sweeps
Ay, deeper than the deepest sea,
And wide as woman's mystery,
O man, the mariner, beware!
Yet will I chance a shipwreck there.
So many teas have been given, and
most of them alike, that the original
hostess will appreciate tho Idea of giving
a "coffee!" It la the outcome of the Ger
man kitchen, nnd the lunch served Is very
like the so-called "Dutch" supper,
A very handsome hand embroidered
table cloth may be used, and In the centre
of the cloth. Instead of flowers, a huge
basket of fruits Is placed. The effect is
