DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRL How One Friend Selected a A "daring" dance frock of brocaded satin. BnTH FHILDlNQ Is a convincing ex ample of "tho worm that turned." In a day she seemed to bhed her gentle, sweet, meek-as-a-lamb manner and blos somed Into an Independent, self-assertive young woman. For two seasons Beth took a "back seat,"' allowing her sister Arllne to take tho lion's share of clothes, pin-money and entertainment, simply because she happened to be a year the elder. Finally, Ileth awoke to thn truth that her self-sacrificing dls- posltloh wasn't half appreciated. She de manded her "half" of everything, starting with clothes. She refused to nave the simple, Inexpensive frocks that Arllne Insisted was "her style," and chose garments that could be described as "daring" or "striking." Beth asked me to go with her when she bought her dance frocks, nnd I gasped at her extravagance, for nothing but original models appealed to her. Beth's first purchase was a blue and sliver brocaded satin ovening gown. The bodice was drnped to give a long-waisted effect. To It was Joined the gathered skirt which terminated in a pointed train at the center back. A flounce of silver lace hung several Inches' below the hem In front, and touches of silver lace trimmed the bodice. Beth's is a classic type of beauty, so I advised her to buy a lovely dinner gown of white and silver brocaded satin. The very short empire waist had sleeves of sliver tulle, and folds of the same diaphanous material softened the square line of the dtcolletage. -The long sitlrt is slightly draped and forms a side train. Bands of silver and crystal beading pass over the shoulders and (he bodice Is trliqmed with disc-shaped ornaments ot crystal and sliver, The loveliest of Beth's new dresses' is a dance frock of rose brocade. The elite Is In a bold flower design, which calls for little or nojrlmmlng. The draped bodice, follows the lints ot tjie .figure, extending-6lelow the normal waistline. To. It, la Joined a 'full. Bs.tbar.4 ' skUt,. which le' slightly -longer. titan t)t Pt Mm usual Ham frock. V- , , "Now you're talking," Dicky turned his attention to the coffee. "You run along, nnd I'll bring the stuff in." I wns loo curious, howeer, ns to the method by which he made his cofTee to go Immedlalelly "I see joti don't use the coffee machine" I sa'd "How do mi manage In that thing,?" "K.'isy," retorted Dicky. "I put two heap ing tablespoonfuls of coffee and an egg shell Into this, nnd poured over It two cups of boiling water, covered It tight and let It bolt for flo minutes. The time Is Just up, so now you may watch tho, lest ot the piocess." Ho took off the cover of tho saucepan, stirred Its contents nnd added a cup of cold water and then, again coeilng It, lighted the Miinll warming burner of the gs stoe and set the saucepan upon It "There," ho said with H grandiloquent flourish. "In ten minutes that will be nectar for the goddess. Ho bowd to me extrava gantly. Hut one thing ttoubled me. "Did ou say ou put an egg shell Into the toffee?" I asked ".Sure." Dicky leplled. "There's tho egg In that dlfh Don't know much nboul cook ing, except chafing dish stunts, but 1 can manage an egg " "No. t don't want anything but the coffee ami tho toast, which we can fix on tho electric toaster In the living room. Hut" "Hut what?" l)lck looked nt me keenly. Something's on our mind Hotter get it off" "Did did you wash tho egg before you put tho shell In?" Oier Dicky's face flashed a startled look, a guilty look, It appeamd tn nn1 Hut It was gone In nn Ihstunt, and he burst Into a i oar of laughur. Tin: sAViivo ki:coli.i:ction "So that's what's troubling ou, Is If Well, don't worry any longer. That egg was rubbed ifnd rinsed nnd sterilized and fumigated. It was tho most sanitary object you know when It went Into the coffee ' A little unreasoning feeling of anger lose m mv heart ngalnst Dicky I knew from the look 'on his face when I asked him about tho egg th.it he was not telling the truth when he said that ho had wnblieil It. t could not tell him that lie was uttering a falsehood, and, on the other hand, tho mere thought of the unwashed egg shell tnndo me feel that it would be impossible for mo to taste the coffee. If he oulv had told the truth, we could have mado fresh cofTee. Now 1 d'd not know what lo do I me.chanlcall.v took some cups and plates and sliver from m kitchen can Inet and placed them on a tia. Carrying them into the living loom 1 nnanged them on tho reading table. Then I brought the elrctric toaster fioln the dining loom and attached It to one of the light tockcts. I was about to start back to the kitchen for moro things when I met Dicky bearing a tray plied with bread, butter, tho sand wiches and nle which he wished for himself, a small pitcher of cieam, a dish with loaf sugar and a larger pitcher containing the coffee. "There." he said, as he put down tho tray, "1 guess heio's every little thing you need Whv didn't you let me attach that toaster? I Mtipposn I've mado a mess in the kitchen, but Katie can clear It up that is. If you don't fire her for meddling with our la al llcre." As If the mention of Katie's name had been the kev to unlock my problem, I had an Instnnt's lvld vision ot Katie as she appealed one moinlng when 1 went to the kitchen to give her an order. She was standing beforo the sink, Inuus tilously scrubbing the eggs which had Just como from the dealer. "I no like uo eggs unless they wash," she said In explanation.

For tho city dweller there are many conveniences for this purpose. There Is the 'built-in" corner underneath tho kitchen window, generally. Here a little compart ment gives place to the garbage can, and as thero Is a metal door to the compartment it is kept out of sight until the garbage man calls. Galvanized Iron palls aro usu ally consider cd best to keep garbage In, despito tho fact that tho enameled palls look whiter and cleaner. The latter are more likely to chip and have to be replaced frequently If jou Insist on a snowy white pull Thero Is a special large paper bag which Is inado to fit tho Inside of a garbage pall. Tho wnsto Is placed In this bag Instead of In the pall Itself. When full, the bag Is tied together nt tho top, nnd garbage Is disposed of, bag and all, without ever hav ing touched the pail. Of course, garbage must be vvcll drained before being placed In the bag, otherwise the bag .will get soaked and fall apart. A f-anltary device for garbage has been put on the market recently It Is a small squnio receptacle, rounded on one side. In stead of having n detachable cover, how ever, it has n sliding cover which Is lifted whenever It Is necessary to put something In th can, and drops automatically. This obviates the nuisance of having to remove tho top of the can with one hand while tiylng to empty gaibage Into the pall with the other. This pall, with only one side rounded, Is much simpler to clean, as the water, running down quickly on the rounded side, adds force and washes any bits off tho pall proper. Another Inexpensive but most helpful device Is tho wire lubblsh burner for waste paper. This Is especially necessary In the detached house where thero are no facilities for tho removal of waste paper and It ac cumulates quickly. The burner Is really an enlarged basket such ns we see for "trash baskets ' But when papers are piled In, the wlto lid of tho basket Is clamped Into place, the basket can be taken outdoors and a match applied, burning up all the papers, hut without Injury to the basket itsc'. These baskets cost from fifty cents up, Kor the la-ge detached house the gas operated !oi .erator Is the best method ot hamulus- the garbage problem. Thero Is nothing so sanitary as the Immediate burning method. In Berlin they do not cart uround garbage to remote dumping grounds as we do In so ttvny cities In this country, but all the city's waste is gathered up be fore the Inhabitants are awake and Is taken to the general Incineration quarters, wheie It Is burned up. Incidentally, the thrifty Germans do not throw this Incin erated matter away, but sell It, as It makes excellent feitlllzer! In this country we are able to buy the gas Incinerators for household use. Gar bage of any kind can be dumped into It, the heat turned on, and In a few moments It Is all reduced to ashes. The danger from files oi Infection of any kind is reduced to a minimum If waste matter Is so disposed of Although the device Is not cheap, A pays to have que If one builds a home, especially In a somewhat Isolated countr" district where disposal Is the Individual sroblem.
