WSr',-1 '" JW$ ; a "PlNTIE" AND THE PETTICOAT IN DEATH FIGHT, M'LISS SAYS jputcome of Battle in Feminine Wardrobe Cannot xeu jdb jrreaictea Jtiouse-pannes Enter the Lists r i , . THE "pantlo" nnd the petticoat arc fighting for the crown, but which Is going to beat tho other "all around tho town" remains yet to bo seen. For a long, long tlmq the petticoat, that most frivolous, most coquettish article In tho ontlro feminine wardrobe, held undisputed supremacy. Then the "pantlo," very modest, very unpretentious, very masculine, made Its appearance. It was only a part, an Invisible part, too, of a woman's riding habit. It was no more to bo reckoned with as a rival of the petti coat than tho bathing suit bloomer that voluminous hldeoslty of a bygone day which was mado of flannel and which soaked up and hold moro water than a sponge. But somehow or other woman's mind eeemg to havo become fixed on the "pantle." perhaps its practicability ap pealed to them. Perhaps the freedom of movement that the bifurcated apparel allowed typified tho freedom of thought and action that women wcro then looking forward to; but, at any rate, the vogue for feminine trousers held, and presently n great many women wero discarding their nighties and sleeping In pajamas. Directly tho pajama had become an old etory, trousers were Introduced Into or under tho walking skirt. "Long, full petticoats drag us down and impede our movements. Wo cannot walk In them," was tho universal plaint. For centuries women had walked In petticoats. Indeed, it Is Inconceivable to think of any woman, up until the present time, walking without a petticoat and maintaining her pcaco of mind at tho eame time. But now they could not or would not walk In them. The mere fact that tho Holland women require some eight or ten to be fully clothed, according to tho Dutch point of view, carried no VrtJjUU 1 ""Fisee us from the petticoat!" became tho slogan. Then tho pantnletto Invaded the realm of the evening gown. Bewitching llttlo dance frocks appeared with dainty, frilly pantalettes nosing out of tho hem. What woman, no matter how puritanical her convictions, could resist them? Comes now the trousered house dress. I know of several Philadelphia women who have already adopted it. It Is n sort of glorified pajama, with the "pan tics" tied fetchingly at the ankles. It is full enough to bo modest and bifurcated enough to bo daring. And It Is luxu riously comfortnble. "You don't know how they save wash," one "house-pantle" enthusiast chanted to mo rapturously. "I have mlno mado of unbleached muslin. They're cheap, be coming and save laundry bills, becauso all petticoats are eliminated. And they nro wonderful to get around In. I find I can do my housework twice ns quickly In my panties as I could In my house frock. No, my husband doesn't object. But ho says, It makes him feel real devilish Just to kiss me good-by in tho morning." In tho meantime tho much maligned petticoat, which some clay may find Itself In a museum an object well-nigh ex tinct has had to take on moro frills and fancies than over before. It is fighting for Its very life, nnd In so doing has become an article of such beauty and expenslveness ns to tempt tho very soul of woman. Though the pantlo has become emas culated of Its masculinity, nnd tho severe and uncompromising riding bloomer has blossomed Into a pantalette which screams Its femininity from every tiny rosebud and bit of lace, the petticoat Is still the apotheosis of femininity. It is fighting a good light. Long may It wave. M'LISS.

In March sho fell and fractured her hip and has not fully recovered, and due to trouble and the death of my father, I'm at my wits' end trying to toko care of her and keep my position. I hao not the money to pay for an attendant for her and am compelled to no from the centre of the city out to West Philadelphia every noon to prepare her lunch. Twice I have found her delirious. There la absolutely no one I can leave with hor, and she Is not In condition, either mentally or phjslcally to bo left alone. I will appreciate very much any Information you can glvo .me. A TROUBLED MISS. I have Inquired of the social service de partment of one of the largo hospitals and they tell mo that any hospital would have taken your mother if you had applied right after the- fracture occurred, but a chronic case must be taken to the Philadelphia Hospital, 34th nnd Pine streets. To be admitted there you must have your mothar-exnmlnad by tho district physician. Go to the nearest police station and ask to havo tha district doctor sent to your home. He will attend to your mother's admission to tho hospital. If you give mo your ad dress, I, in confidence, shall bo glad to seo to it that the district doctor is secured. F"or a nominal consideration tho Visiting Nurses' Association will send a nurse dally to bathe your mother and make her "comfy,"- They do not obligate themselves, however, to do any cooking. I feel sure your mother la a hospital case. Dear M'Llss I wish to give a lawn party and would like to know what refreshments to serve.

Thero Is no dearth of lively games to be played on the lawn. The old ones, like bllndman's buff nnd London bridge, hide the thimble, etc., are the most fun. Tho thimble might bo hid In any number of places, In a big tree or beneath a large stone. Progressive games nre adapted to out of doors. Have four tables on the lawn. On the first havo several spools of coarse thread and a couple of packets of large needles. Let the guests try to thread them In a given time. The couple who thread tho most proceed to tho next table. At the second table you might have a bowl ful of beans to be fished out with two lead pencils held in one hand only. Tho third table might have a bowlful of dried beans to bo speared with dull hatpins. Tho fourth should have four wlno glasses on it and a box of matches. Tho object Is to place ns many matches as possible on the rim of the glasses, using two matches to lift the others out. Tho winner moves from each table, putting the letter "w" on his tally card. If there are moro than 10 people, let them move In pairs. Tho losing couple remain nt tho table and play with the visiting winners. Allow four minutes to each game, starting and stopping to the sound of a bell rung by the hostess. Serve Ices, fancy cakes, assorted sand wiches, such taB cheese, minced chicken, ham, tongue, pimento, lettuce. Jolly, etc The claret lemonade is made as follows: Roll, peel carefully and slice six lemons. Now melt two teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar to each lemon, with the lemon Juice In a saucepan. When this is like a syrup let It cool, then chill in tha Icebox. Leave It on the Ice until ready to serve, then add a quart of Iced water and half a pint or pint of claret, as you wish.

Early accounts of the enor mous numbers of this pigeon that migrated from section to section read like fables, but are too well attested to be doubted. "Audubon states that ho rode through a winter roosting place in Kentucky which was moro than forty miles long and three miles wide. It may be doubted If In the prime days of this pigeon its numbers were ever equaled by any bird either In the Old World or the New. Only Its great numbers enabled It to survive the assaults of Its enemies as long as It did. Then came the market netter, and everywhere the hapless pigeons wero taken In season and out of season with eggs In their bodies ready for the nest and with nests full of young. "While neither the netters nor the sports, men were responsible for the extermination of the last pigeon, It Is nevertheless true that by the combined assaults of the two the species was reduced to such a low ebb that It could not be recovered. Protective legislation was too late. It is unfortunate that the camgra was not Extensively used then, so we have no visual records of the passenger pigeon, A nesting place in Michigan Is described ns 28 mites long by four miles wide, and every tree In tho woods throughout this whole tract had sev eral nests, and some were filled with them ,Flocks darkening the sky and covering sev. erai square miles are recorded. And today there is none. They were shot and netted at Utflr roosting and nesting places, bar reled up and sent to market for sale. This continued as long as there wera birds enough to make It profitable, and now wo reap the results no passenger pigeons, "We have many birds thatjhe law al lows to be shot ascertain seasons of the year, and these are fast becoming exter minated. Some are still abundant .and will be for a number of years; others are scarce. and If further hunted will be en tirely exterminated In two or three years. Boh Whites are scarce In New .England. Prairie hens are becoming scarce In parts of the "West; the small curlew Is virtually extinct; and. In fact, game birds which were once about the moat common of God's creatures aro rapidly disappearing. The man who makes his, living by shooting bird will make more, live longer and die happier tilling the soil than by destroying God'a creatures. Unless something Is done soon, the world will suffer because of the grf d and cruelty- of th sportsmen. "O. B."

Servo he won't desist. dre Dr. llllam UtrnlnK luger. llrady, cure of the FOR several years It has been the fashion to Import typhoid fever overy nutumn from the vacation resorts to the city. In fact, September has won a certain distinction among the months becauso of its heavy toll of typhoid. From two to four weeks after the vacationist's return homo, the first symptoms become manifest. The Infection is picked up somewhere along the routo followed In the quest of health. Cooks, waiters, milk dealers, ice-cream makers nnd Ice-cream parlor servers, vege table peddlers, anybody who handles or serves food may, perchance, bo a typhoid germ carrier. The famous Typhoid Mary, who left a trail of no fewer than 28 victims In the course of her mcanderings from kitchen to kitchen and town to town. Is only a sample of a large class, and thero appears no way to detect these carriers un til the circumstantial evidence of a little epidemic brings suspicion to bear upon them. The summer resorts must get help, and It Is natural enough for the recently recov ered typhoid fever patient to seek work at a summer resort. For tho vacationist, therefore, there Is but one means of Insur ing Immunity to typhoid, and that Is by sub mitting to prophylactic immunization before leaving town. " This consists of a series of three hypodermic Injections of killed typhoid bacillus suspensions, at intervals of five days or one week. It has stamped typhoid fever out of tha United States Army, and it has prevented losses from the disease In the European armies. Imported typhoid is growing lees fash ionable every year. But like all other super fluous luxuries, It will continue to enjoy a certain degree of popularity until all the people realize that typhoid fever Is a filth disease, a disgrace to a community nnd a reproach to the Intelligence of tho victim It strikes down. Domestic typhoid will give the doctors an occasional unnecessary Job as long as the people show no Interest In tho personal health and habits of the milkman, the cook, the vegetable dealer, the grocer and other servants who handle or deliver food. It Is poor sanitation that waits, say, three weeks to Bee whether nny harm befalls the res taurant patron when the waiter carelessly thumbs the soup. It Is good sanitation that sees to It, as a matter of clvlo efficiency, that tho waiter Is a harmless person even though careless with his thumb. Now adays fighting epidemics is bad business, because it Is too costly, it la much cheaper and pleasanter to suppress these things.

M Cleaning Neckwear Neckflxlngs are a very effective part of tho fashionable woman's outfit, but to be really effective they must be scrupulously clean. Georgetto collars and cuffs, as well as all the light ones ot crepe do chine, batiste, organdie and the Uko may be cleaned with soap and water. But such things as ostrich boas present a problem for tho girl whose pocketbook docs not allow of cleaner's bills, and who Is afraid to attempt sch work at home. .ilthoug.. there Is no doubt that an ex pert's work on ostrich feathers Is more reliable.. If tho cleaning process must bo done ay home, the following explicit direc tions will prove helpful. Prepare tho soapsuds first. Shave a bar of hard whlto or naphtha soap Into a sauce pan, ppur a llttlo bit of water over It, and boll until just like jelly. Now dilute, as you want to use tho soap with soft warm waters pour Into tha wash bowl, and Immerse your boa In this. Allow tt to soak for 10 or IS minutes. Draw It through the hands gently, pressing out tho dirty sudB ns you do so. Run oft the soiled water and rinse tn water of the same tem perature. Draw through tho hands again to squeeze oift tho surplus water. Repeat the process until tho boa Is quite clean. You can tell this by the water that comes off It. Pin the ends of the boat to a clean whlto towel and hang up to dry, Shake frequently while drying, or shake until dry before a fire.
