WHEN.
What Flirting Costs.
The girl who is flirting with half a
dozen men has not the time to give
any one man the chance to know her,
and she Is, therefore, losing her op
portunity of getting a good husband.
While she is flirting here, there, and
everywhere with her numerous admir
ers, the home girl is making herself
attractive and indispensable to one
man.
He sees how sweet she is in her
home life, how her parents and little
brothers and sisters love and rely
upon her and the next step is that
he Imagines her in his home, tue
mother of his children.
After that lie is not long in making
up his mind that she is the ' one" wo
man. . For the Breakfast Room.
No breakfast room is so cozy as the

The Dress of Paris.
Spring Is essentially the season for
the trotteur frock, so useful for morn
ing wear, writes Edouard I-a Fontaine
In the Delineator.
For walking costumes, cloth Is less
and less used and fancy materials are
now more a la mode. Small cheeks,
stripes, especially in black and white,
are In favor, and gray is very popular.
Every kind of light, transparent ma
terial, either plain or finely striped,
will be much worn, and the voiles will
be more than usually fine and light, no
, woollen voiles, but Bilk with a mat ef
fect so dull Indeed that it looks like
Wool.
These soft materials lend them
selves very successfully to the new
fashion. : The new trend of fashion is
I toward the long, stipple, flowing folds,
consequently silk as we have known It,
' Is no longer In vogue, but Its place Is
taken by "Radium," a silk material
that Is at once brilliant, soft and
strong. It can be had plain, glace,
printed, striped, spotted, covered with
Bmall designs, either noticeable or al
most Imperceptible, jet which rings a
change on the perfectly plain mater
ial. Chiffon faille, revived with added
beauty and softness of weave, is ex
tremely popular, and crepe de chine
with the countless varieties of ' lacn
that Is to be found on the market are
as popular as ever.
' Long lace coats, which were so much
admired last year, will still be worn,
as well as short vests and boleros. The
princess and empire effects seem to be
the prevailing styles.
'' Housekeeping for Two.
To keep house for two people is,
to use the words of a woman who
provides for six, "nothing but play,"
"Doll housekeeping" is what another
heavily burdenad housewife calls It.
Certainly the woman who has only one
person besides herself to cater for can
not call It drudgery. The main difficul
ty she experiences Is In dividing cook
book receipts and in cutting down
provisions so that there shall be no
surplus to go to waste. It Is not only
difficult to buy food in quantities small
enough for a meal for two people, but
It is very expensive. For Instance, a
Jar of orange marmalade Just big
enough for two is 10 cents, and one
three and one-half times as large and
containing enough for several meals is
only 13 cents.
How to use up left-overs is a prob
lem that must confront the caterer for
two persons. When purchasing meat
It la a good plan to get enough for
two meals. Then the table will not
look bare and there will be a sufficient
quantity for a second meal. Cooking
experts disagree as to the amount of
- meat needed in such a case, one writ
er declaring that one pound is enough
and another two pounds. Of course
this depends entirely on. the number
of dishes served with the meat.
For two women a pound and a quar
.sr or a pound and a half of porter
house steak has been found sufficient
for two meals. The meat was served
as a steak for dinner the first day, and
the tough end, which is always a part
of this cut, was made into croquettes,
or German beef cakes, the next day,
This supply might be more than
enough If several vegetables were
served with it, but It was 'barely
enough when only two vegetables and
-- - tF- -Oil ft U
IP i
a simple dessert made up the bill ol
fare.
A two-pound porterhouse will usual
ly be needed it one of the two people
Is a man. The "lough end' should be
removed' before serving and laid aside
for beef cakes. A certain dietician
allows an average of three-fourths of
a pound of steak to a erson.
It is always more economical to buy
a roast than steak or chops, if the
family is not averse to made over
dishes. A four-pound top sirloin
roast will last two persons three
meals and sometimes longer.
A turkey for two Is out of the ques
tion unless they are willing to live on
turkey hash for about a week. But a
chicken is desirable, not only ou ac
count of its small size but because so
many delicate dishes, such as salad,
croquettes and scalloped chicken Is
about as small as can be made from
the leftovers. A three pound chicken
is about as small as can be had for
roasting. The left-overs from the first
meal can be turned Into delicious
scalloped chicken, and the bones into
a small tureenful of soup.
In ordering a chicken it Is better to
ask for a bird smaller than you real
ly desire, for the butcher will be sure
to send a larger, one. You will meet
the same difficulty in ordering other
meat, especially a roast, which is cut
before being weighed. A housewife of
an economical turn of mind may pur
chase round instead of porterhouse
steak and stuff It. A woman who be
lieves that the attractive appearance
of dishes goes a long way in making
a meal enjoyable stuffs a veal cutlet.
For stuffing steaks and cutlets pre
pare a highly seasoned bread crumb
stuffing and heap it ou the steak or
cutlet; then pull up the edges over the
stuffing, so that It does not show (or
roll up the meat), and tie it with a
stout string or skewer it well. When
it comes on the table It will look like
an expensive dish, but will really cost
little more than when merely breaded
or broiled. Wheu a round steak - is1
stuffed it should be cooked slowly, as
It Is a rather tough cut. It is delic
ious when braized slowly.
There Is no special economy In Ham
burg steak as It is sold already chop
ped In bucher shops. The cheapest
is made of stale meat, and the best
generally costs more than the round,
an extra price being charged for chop
ping. One of the principal things that the
youug housekeeper should remember
is to practise her economy on the sly
that la, in such a way that her fam
ily will not be rudely reminded of
tight purse strings. She should try
to prepare dishes that look expeiiRive
and attractive, yet In reality cost lit
tle. For example, escalloped dishes
and dainty croquettes cot-t no more
than hush nevertheless they are in
finitely more pleasing to the average
palate. If accumulated bread crumbs
are used in stuffing instead of in bread
pudding, which always calls for plenty
of eggs and milk a pudding by the
way which few people like there will
be an actual saving of expense with
out any outward appearance of econ
omy. Bons from roasts and small pieces
of meat can be used in the stockpot,
and will make nice gravy if their la
not enough for soup. To every pound
add a quart of cold water, and let it
boll until.it looks rich.
Another rule in regard to buying
meat, which one housewife says shd
follows strictly, is to alternate thd
use of white meat with beef, so that
there should not be too much of tho
same kind of proteid consumed. Trib

Norway's King as a Naval Middy.
It was my fortune to make the
prince's acquaintance when he was an
apprentice in the Danish navy. I was
a midshipman at the time, ami Just
one notch higher rank. We were
thrown a good deal together on vari
ous ships, and I believe it Is tilts
rough-and-ready training In seaman
ship at an early age which contributed
strongly toward making a man out of
the prince, who ns a boy was very
much like what middles call a "piece
of court furniture."
There were seven apprentices in the
mess to which the prince belonged on
shipboard, and of which I am ihe
eighth and mess master. We all called
him by his first name that is. Karl in
Danish and he had to eat the same
"grub" and stand the same hardship
as all the other apprentices. He was
allowed to have no advantages or
"extras" over and above his comrades,
and, although everybody knew him
to be a prince of the realm, no defer
ence whatever was paid him as such.
On the contrary he was "hazed" and
made miserable in good, old midship
man style, He took his medicine
bravely enough, though there were
times when, by his looks, he must
have wished for "home und mother,"
or that he was ashore, where he, its a
prince of the realm, would hnve a
light to command a salute from any
man and uny officer in the fleet.
On board ship he had to mend his
wwn clothes, darn his socks, sew on
buttons, and keep his weapons and ac
coutrements in order. He slept in a
regulation sailor hammock, with his
clothes rolled up under his head for
a pillow without a nightshirt, and
wearing only a sailor's woolen striped
undershirt, and bundled up in a wool
en blanket, sometimes with his sea
boots dangling by the hammock rope.
As an apprentice, one of his duties
in cleaning ship early nt dawn wnV. to
pass buckets of salt water and go over
tho quarter deck with a sni;e broom.
When polishing would begin ho was
assigned to the bis binnacle lantern ou.
the bridge, inside which the com
pass is. He became quite an expert
at polishing, and used to make that
brass binnacle flnsh like sliver mtiil.
He could never quite get used to chew
ing tobacco, which in the eyes of every
truo apprentice Is one of the cardinal
virtues; and whenever he was sea
sick, which often happened, he used
to sit In the gangway on a bucket
and chew rye bread.,
This close Intimacy with boys of hi3
own age, and subsequently when he
was appointed midshipman and cadet,
bis contact with manly naval men and
real human conditions of life, are the
factors which eventually made out of
this boy who was originally little
more than a "court kid" one of the
most reul and natural of living -royal
princes. It opened his eyes to the
forces and exigencies that govern real
life. It substituted within him for the
lassitude of the courtier the ambition
of the healthy young man of action.

ly Review of Reviews.
The Buttoned Boots.
Annie Amelia was happy. She did
not know why. She opened one browu
eye to see If day had really come. A
streak of sunshine lay across the foot
of her bed. Then she remembered why
she was so very happy. Papa had gone
to the city, miles awaythe day before,
bnd bad promised to bring her a pres
ent when he came home.
Annie Amelia opened her eyes wid
er, and looked sharply about to see It
she could see her present. A chair
stood close by her bed. It bad not
been there when she went to sleep. She
gave a little gasp of pleasure, and
raised herself on one elbow. On the
chair stood a brand-new pair of shiny
black buttoned boots! Soft, pretty kid
boots they were, with silk-worked but
tonholes. This all happened many years ago,
when buttoned boots were only Just
beginning to be made, and they cost
more than common boots that laced.
Annie Amelia's mamma was ill, and
there were so many things for papa to
buy that everything had to be made
to last as long as possible. New boots
were a line present, and these were
buttoned ones! Is Amelia's heart
CD
beut fast, her cheeks grew red, and she
clapped her humls softly,' she was so
very happy.
Annie Amelia must make no noise,
for mamma slept In the next room,
ami mamma must never be disturbed.
The little girl slipped out of bed very
quietly, and sat down on the floor to
put on her stockings and the dear
new boots, There was an odd-looking
tool, a piece of curved steel with n
wooden handle, lying in the chuir.
Annie Amelia had never seen or heard
of a button-hook, and did not know
what the tool wiib or how to use it.
She left It lying there. Nothing else
could interest her until the boots were
on. '
She drew her stockings on neatly,
then she tried to put one foot into a
boot. Her toes seemed too large, and
she thought of Cinderella's wicked
stepsisters, who cut off a toe to get a
foot Into the fairy glass slipper. Would
she have to cut off a toe to wear, these
beautiful things? It might hurt; but
then, what was a hurt in comparison
with getting on the hoots? Another
tug, and In went the foot, without the
loss of a toe at all. Then, after a
great struggle, the other foot slipped
Into Its place, and the new boots were
on! Annie Amelia clapped her hands
again softly, mid would have shouted
for Joy If mamma had not been 111 in
the next room.
Then she tried to button the boots.
She stretched mid pulled and twisted
and tugged, nnil drew In one button at
the top and one at the bottom on each
shoe, but not another one could she
get In. roor Annie Amelia!
She ran softly to see If papa or
mamma were awake; but no, they
were sleeping quietly, and might not
be aide to help her for hours. How
could grown people sleep so long? Lit
tle girls must help themselves when
nutmntus are not well and Annie
Amelia loved her mamma so dearly
that she tried never to trouble her. If
the boots could not be buttoned pnpa
und tint in ma would both be sorry. Pa
pa would not be going to the city again
for a long time; and he could not get
her another pulr of boots if he did
go, for ho must have spent nil his
money on these. Hut these could
never be worn unless they could be
buttoned up. What could she do?
Annie Amelia stood in the doorway,
thinking. There ou the bureau was
mamma's workbasket, and the sun
light fell across It on a pair of scis
sors. If the buttonholes were just cut
just a little perhaps the buttons
would slip in. Annie Amelia tiptoed to
the bureau, then buck to her own
room, shutting the door gently. It
was almost as hard to cut the pretty
shoes as to cut off a toe; but hurd
things had to be done sometimes, and
when one Is seven years old one must
be brave and not cry.
Snip! snip! snip! The shining scis
sors cut the outer end of each button
hole on both boots.
Snip! snip! snip! Most of the but
tonholes were still too far from the
edge. The buttons would not go in
until the holes were cut a bit more.
Snip! snip! snip! Those middle
holes ntt'.st lie cut still farther, and now
only the embroidery of the scallops on
the edge of Hie boots wus left. It was
enough. Every button was In. Annie
Amelia was trembling, and tears stood
In the brown eyes, hut she had suc
ceeded. The boots were buttoned at
last.
"Hello, llltle glii!" cried papa, stand
ing In the door. Mamma wus with
him, for she was better today, and able
to walk About. "What tlo you think
of them, Goody Two Shoes?"
"They are beautiful!" cried Annie
Amelia. "I was afraid they were too
small, for the buttons wouldn't go In;
but 1 fixed them, und now they are
just right.'
"Let me see." Papa took the little
girl on his Knee. Mamma sat down
by him.
"She has spoiled her new boots,"
said mamma, sadly. "This time she
will have to be punished."
Annie ..meliu. gasped.
"What was tho trouble?" asked pa
pa. "Why didn't you use the button
hook?" -
When Annie Amelia found that she
need not have cut the boots at all,
and that she had almost ruined them
instead of having saved them, she hid
her face on papa's shoulder, and the
big tears fell fast.
"Punishments are to help children
remember not to do things again,"
said papa. "I am sure Annie Amelia
will remember without being punished
never to cut her toes off or her button
holes out without asking her papa or
mamma first. We will get Mrs. Willis
to sew up the button holes, and wear
ing them mended will help Annie
Amelia to remember." Fannie Wilder
