Probably not, unless you have taken out uch a policy. I am speaking of the pro fesslonal woman. Going on the old-fushloned assumption that a woman la physically unfit for work, these companies which offer men ro many Inducements In taking out a policy make the rate, for women anywhere fiom halt pain as much to nearly three times the amount, An officer In one company told me In all frankness that ho cared very little about having his agents do business with women. They aro either very 'rail or also try to heat tho company. As to tho latter, he may probably know thereof ho upeaks, although one hates to think so, but I very much doubt the truth of tho former as regards the woman In business, Florence Arlene Thornton, addressing the Current Events Class of tho New Century Club on Monday, said: "Just ns tho fainting woman vanished when woman's brain began to develop, so the ailing woman must be laid nslde for the woman who Is strong, healthy, bright o brain, limber of Joint and lithe of muscle. It Is an admitted fact that the profes sional woman has better health than any other class of woman In the world. And, granting thnt women aio tho frailer sex, their itches and Ills may In capacitate them for a few days at a time, whereas when men are teally sick they go to pieces nnd have a long siege In bed. And tho Insurance companies do not lose on a few days' Illness, for most of them do not begin payment until a week has elapsed.

Any Idea that lessens mother's work is a blessing that should bo vassed on to others I have one that I think Is worth sharing, too. I have always deteated the task of washing the family handkerchiefs, but do not mind it since adopting the followinr method: Have a vessel containing at least two f:allona of warm water, into which put four arge tahlespoons of anv good soap or powder, dissolved, and one taMesponn coal oil. Plunge the tolled handkerchief! Into this. Bring slowly to a boll then put them into clean strong suds, Snd verv little rubbing sometimes none, either y hand or machine, will make them snowy white.

Just nip the last wee leaf off. hare chewed gum ready and apply, and behold: when the plant starts to grow It will nearly always branch In more than one place.

"Why will my gas stove persist In pop plnr everv time t light It?" asked a young housewife "I'm so careful, t never let the gas escape, hut apply the light as soon as I open the gas cock." Why. that's tlie cry.reason ! It Is always necessary to permit tlie gas to flow for n few seconds before applying the light. Turn on tlie cock, let the gns flow thtough the burner, and then the burner will light with out any explosive popping. This applies to the exposed burners on top of the stove onlv , On the other hand, many hnusekeepeis, In lighting the oven of the gas stoe. open the cocks and let a lot of gas flow Then they open tho doora, nnd without leallzlng how much gas has accumulated In the even com pattment, tliev suddcnlj- light it. with the frequent result o a minor explosion. The right ptoceduro for lighting tho gas men 1 4 us follows: J'ltst Sto that all stop-cocks nre tight and there is no escaping gas nnvwhere Sei-onel Open tho oven elnni" strike a mntch and light tho "leader" or "pilot" light The pilot light Is reallv Just a taper to light tho burners, As soon ns tlie pilot light Is lit, turn on the back burner, then the front but tier, which will light auto matlcally fiom tho pilot light. Then turn out the pilot light. t'sually the oven should be lighted about ten minutes before It Is actually needed, so ns to heat the oven thoroughly before plac ing food In It. Tho food Is placed In the oven nnd left there subject to the Intense heat of the two burners for about Ave min utes, then the flame can be lowered, or one burner can be extinguished If food Is to be. browned, the lower door should lie left opeti so as to admit mote air ns It Is the laiger propoitlon of oxjgen to gas that produces the browning Verv often nn almost new gas stove will seem poor or damaged, and the gas stove Is blamed, while often Its deficiencies are due onlv to the lack of tori eel handling. The most cruel treatment to the poor gas stove in to let Mimethlng "burn over'' Tho fact that tlie burners ale nil clogged (Up ma not lie visible, but the du clog up quite i'unIIv, and when that happens a most thorough cleaning Is netessaty It s a good plan tlieiefore, to wntcli the gas slovc at the beginning of the rooking process, nnd to lower tho flame whenever possible. The "Hlmnieiet" burner on inanj gas stoves Is an automatic prevention of tlie "boiling en oi" accident, nnd it pavs to choose this tjpe of Move when a preference Is offered. The gas stovo needs an occasional bath no. not a blacking How often It lequlres this treatment depends on the fiequencj" of use and the condition of the stove The careful hoiweworkor may not have to clean her stove completely nioie than once In sevetnl weeks. Hut If the 'boiling over" accident Is fieeiuenl tlie cleanings will have to be corrcspontlinglj' frequent Then tlie burners ale removed completely from the stove and boiled in n f-olutloti con sisting of two tablespoonfuls of washing soda to one gallon of water. The housewife who takes pride In her perpetuallj' polished stovo imi't lie careful not lo blacken the burners under any clr ciiniM.incos ('logged burners anel tlie stove which Is not kept absolutely clean these are the causes of most gas stove trouble.

Hy residence she belongs to New York, but by accomplishment she belongs to the whole I'nlted States. Miss Kellor came to Philadelphia very re cently to tell the members of the Chamber of Commerce what Americanization has and can do for Industry, but theie was some thing she did not tell the bodv In question Probably it was tucked back In the part of tha woman one associates more with the gentle quietness of Miss Kellor's appeal and less with the forceful vim with which she told tlie thousand members that the labor market of the United States Is "the rotten est Institution we boast of" The fact had to do with the little for eigners who aro quickly and eagerly, through the medium of the school, giasplng Americanization. Miss Kellor pointed out tha sadness of the disruption of the home where English Is not spoken bv the parents ot growing children, Tho little ones have new interests, life holds a thousand new paths for'them. and all the while the par ents aro obliged to look on in a blind, un comprehending way Sometimes disrespect on the part of the children results some times merely a gradual weaning away; but invariably some sort of esttangement. "There Is no lack of willingness on the part of these foreign-born natives to learn our language. It Is lack ot opportunity that holds them back. At heart they are the same as we are. That Is what we are apt to forget trie oneness of the whole world In feeling, Those people think of the same things we think of they want what we want but they lack the 'medium of expression thnt will convey themselves to us and prove that they are after a'l just other versions ot ourselves. "Sometimes the translation of the native Into the American proves that the native had the better pa:t of the bargain to offer. For Instance, take the music and the art that the Italian has brought to America, Another example Is the Swedish method of housing railroad employes In communities." Miss Kellor returned to tlie subject of the home. "The woman must learn Eng lish the home can never be better or more enlightened than the woman who Is mistress of It. i Women aa a rule are quite as eager to learn, but they lack the opportunity that Industrial contact brings to their hus bands."
