Perhaps it seems strange to an outsider, for I know the ideas that prevail in regard to Indian life, But to do great when I grew up was impressed upon me from my cradle by my par- ents, and I have known no other ambi tion. “What I have done up.to this time has been in competition with the white world, and 1 have succeeded according to their standards, so that I want no one to say of what I do, “That is good for an Indian" Miss Cornelius, while frail physical ly, is full of energy and ambition and is confident that her literary efforts will be a factor in the uplifting of her race think, struggles and motis must of if they be be necessity to have ritten memory. The Neatly Gowned Girl A clever woman was talk- ing about clothes at lunch the other day. Never think that because a wom an is in business she has lost in that topic ever dear to the feminine heart. “You fact,” she began, “that men just dote on appearances. Your temper may be as sunny as a May morning. you may have all the virtues of angels, the wis dom of Solomon, your English may outshine a Princeton professor, may calculate more quickly than the lightning's business never made a mistake, but all these are as Dead sea fruit if you wear a trum- py gown, a hat of last year's vintage or bair that has not recently made the acqualntance of shampoo. The girl with a neat, smart gown, tidy gloves, who is well coiffed and well shod, will walk away from you every time, even if she can't add two and three together, Since we have to run up against men in the business world, it Is well to bear this little idiosyncrasy of theirs in mind and dress up to your audience.” The Small Kitehen. By all means have a small kitchen. A large kitchen, with a cellar door at one side, a table at another, a range at an. other and the sink at still another, re quires too much walking. The Is con sumed in going from one place to an- other rather than with actual work. Have your range pla. ad In a light and convenient part of the kitchen. In front have a good sized table contain. ing drawers and spaces underneath for keeping utensils, one portion of the top covered with zine and the other half left plain. Have underneath the top a baking board which you can easily pull out. The sink should be pear at hand. The pantry may be on the other side of the kitchen and be sufficiently large to hold a barrel of flour, a small pastry table and a convenient arrange. ment of shelves. The floor may be of hardwood or it may be covered with Hnoleum or ollcloth or the ordinary rubber covering. A tlle floor Is exceed- ingly handsome, but rather hard on the feet, making small rugs or bits of car pet a necessity If comfort Is to be con sidered, As Others Ses Us. Nearly every woman bas a looking glass attached to her dressing table, ever Indian tongue into | work, | done in literature In a | Indeed, it must be | for 1 | tongue, | something | interest | can’t get away from the | you | flash, and you may have | recommendations miles long that you | | nad from that glass it is that she gets a general idea of her appearance, Now, ten chances to one the glass i« in a bad Hght, aud In consequence the woman who is looking In it sees herself as a beautiful creature to whom Improve. moeuts are unnecessary. In nine cases out of ten she does not even trouble to take a side or back view of her head, but lmagines that the whole of her per- son Is looking as smart and well set up as her looking glass told ser she was, A long mirror and a hand glass ought { to be a necessity of every well dressed | woman, and it should invariably be placed in the strongest possible light, This may make her wince as the years | go by, but it will tend to make her careful and more apt to keep from oth. er people what the glass tells her, Ev- ery woman has one side of her face less pleasing than the other—as a rule it is the right side—and a woman should make it her business to devote time and trouble in coaxing and continual care in order to make It as attractive as pos- sible, Table Damask. When seletting a cheap or medium | quality of table damask, choose a pat- | tern that nearly covers the ground. Such a tablecloth will wear better and look better than one of the same quall- | ty where there is a great deal of plain surface displayed. An “all over” pat. tern nearly covering the surface of the cloth conceals the quality of a damask that would seem quite coarse If there were much piain surface. The favor. ite snowdrop and other scattered pat terns do not look so well in a low priced | pen as either an “all over” designor a | running one, The term “double” dam- | ask means a heavy linen and not neces sarily a more expensive one than a sin. gle damask. Some of the finest table | Unens are single damask. These single damask cloths in simple snow drops and other small patterns which | wear well and do not crack so easily | as some of the heavier goods, come The Everyday Tollet, A girl's everyday tollet is a part of her character. The malden who Is slov enly in the worning io not to be trust ed, however well dressed she may be In | the evening. It Is just as essential to be neat and tidy at the breakfast table | and to appear well before one's family ns it Is to dress up for some occasion or the eyes of strangers. Every girl | should make it a rule to take special | pains with ber morning toilet. A girl with any self respect or sensitiveness | at all could not but feel embarrassed and awkward if found in a soiled dress or unkempt hair if a stranger or neigh- | bor should happen to call. Make it a {| point, then, to look as attractive as you can in the morning, and there will be no danger of slovenliness in the after. noon. Interested Girls, Sometimes ['ve feit sorry for girls, | for nature doesn't give them the show always that she gives to boys, but she's given them the great faculty of being | interested if they'll keep awake. A wo man's like a nerve if she wants to be, | the stimulation without which the mus | cle is palsied. I've never known an in terested woman who was uninterest ing. I've had some girl friends look me in the eyes as [I talked to them, so | that when | went away I felt as if a giant had teken me by the hand.- Baskett's “Sweetbriar and Thistle | down.” Mereerized Goods, A word as to the laundering of mer cerized goods may not come amiss. Do not starch them if you wish the silky | Master to remain. Many already know this tip, but it may prove of interest to the young housewife. Be sure also when buying mercerized goods to get those in which the thread is mercerized before it is woven. The silky luster is then Of course reputable houses only sell this kind jut, alas there are others, and it Is well to be | posted permanent Household Philosophy. Finish every day and be done with it You bave dove what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt erept in. Forget them as soon as you can Tomorrow is a new day. Begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense, This day is all that is good and fair. It Is too dear, with its hopes and invita tions, to waste a wowent on the yes terdays The Refrigerator, I bave had springs put on the doors of my refrigerator, says a writer in Good Housekeepiug, and io this way have kept down my ice bill not a little, for the most careful servant will oc caslonally leave a door open, and the springs make it lmpossible to do so. My refrigerator Is of the variety usu ally found In apartment houses, Sheets, The proper length for sheets is three yards at least, which will allow enough to tuck in securely at the foot and » good turndown at the top of the bed Blankets or counterpanes and quilts need not be quite so long as the sheets, but should be a generous width, Superintendent Clark of the Brook lyn street cleaning department says that his department does nothing with out the approval of the Women's Health Protective association of that city.
