Woolman, of Teachers' College, who has returned from her sixth trip of Investigation among the ohools for women In Europe, says that the various women's clubs'ln the Oermanemplre are establishing, with government aid, professional schools which give free Instruction to girls In housekeeping and its allied branches. Men to Blame. The standard of living of men la ad vanced, a writer on the subject thinks, nd they refuse to be satisfied with the underdone steak of the M-a-week girl, having been accustomed to the dinner cooked by a $5,000 chef. Then they go home and say that housekeep ing Is not what it used to be, and blame the women for It Such men re generally not the husbands or sons of college women or clubwomen, eith er, for that matter. Indianapolis News. Navy's Chief Nurse Busy Woman. Miss Esther Voorhees Hasson has been selected out of several hundred applicants for chief nurse In the Unit ed States Navy. The position Is one of great responsibility, Ansa Hasson being required to outline plans for a nursing force at each naval point In case of war. In addition, it Is one of her duties to provide the Government with a list of nurses from which to draw staffs for hospital ships. At present she directs the work of a corps of 100 nurses, scattered in ma rine hospitals along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and also on the Gulf. Miss Hasson bears the reputation of being one of the most competetnt Burses in the country. She was nam ed for chief nurse by the Medical Board of the Navy, her long experi ence and eminent fitness giving her precedence over all her competitors. The Sermon Pleased Her. A minister was telling about the Father's tender wisdom In caring for us all. He Illustrated by saying that the Father knows which of us grow best In the sunlight and which of us must have the shade. "You know you plant roses In the unshlne," he said, "and heliotrope nd geraniums, but If you want your fuchsias to grow they must be kept in a dry, shady nook." After the sermon, which the minis ter hoped would be a comforting one, 4t woman came up to him, her face shining with pleasure that was evi dently true, "Oh, Dr. , I am so grateful for that sermon," she said, clasping the minister's hand and shaking It warm ly. Ilia ;icaDUIO vvao duiicu iwi uiv ment, while he wondered what tender place In her heart he had touched. Only for a moment, though. "Yes," she went on, fervently. "I never knew what was the matter with my fushclas before." Indiana Farm er. Bridal Tours Going Out. Wedding trips are going out of fash Ion. Women of advanced thought for years have spoken and written against them with Increasing emphasis, from Louisa M. Alcott to present-day au thors. It Is getting to be the custom to go direct from the church to a country home, either one's own or a friend's, and to pass the honeymoon In seclusion impossible tp tourists. The bridal trip is more or less a fraud In many respects. A woman who has had occasion to see many newly mar ried couples on their travels say "brides and bridegrooms are not al ways the ecstatically happy persons bey are supposed to be. and tears on a honeymoon are not by any means unknown. The wedding day Is an aw ful strain and often unsets tempers for days. The young persons arrive at the hotel In time for dinner af ter a Journey of hours. The bride is pale and tired, the bridegroom har assed and worried to see her so, and making a great fuss generally. Then follow a hurried unpacking and frantic preparations for dinner. While the maid is helping the bride to dress, the bridegroom discovers bis evening coat has been left behind or that he has no patent leather bhoes. Then the first meal together is a distinct failure." New York Press. Passing of the Petticoat It Is surprising what radical chang es the designers have wrought in the fashions of this year as compared with those of last year and a few years back. "I was looking over my trons seau treasures," said a bride of three years, " and really they look ancient It seems Impossible to me that I could have thought of such things. For ex "ttmple, there were six embroidered flannel petticoats, and whoever wears one now! And for every long skirt there was a corresponding short petti coat, while nowadays we wear th8 slimmest hind of a skirt and only one. Certainly we women are adapta ble. Where would we have beea a few years ago without the petticoat? In the hospital, of course. We looked upon tbe petticoat as one of the most serviceable and necessary of gar ments, but here we are ready to go through the winter without it. We have convinced ourselves. Just for the ah of faihaic, that we are not run ning risk in doing this, but the facta are against us. Tbe dictate of Fash ion Is that the less petticoat the bet ter, and we go ahead blindly and cheerfully run the risk of colds, pneu monia and a score of kindred Ills. Men have more sense, and they might use our folly in discarding the warm petticoat as an argument against' equal suffrage." New York Press. The Woman Who "Putters." There is an art in living, whether we are rich or poor. Some people ac complish much with moderate effort, while others work hard with poor re sults. My husband laughs at the say ing of an easy-going neighbor, who said: "I have so much to do I don't know what to do first" Then he sat down In his confusion and did nothing. One of the editorial force on the New York Independent admonishes brain workers to seize the precious morning hours for mental efTort. He tells us that from Ave a. m. to 10 he may be seen on his batcony at his writing desk on summer mornings. We cannot all command our time thus, but must do the best we can. My puttering neighbor often drops in on me and I generally write on, for she cannot understand how I keep going Into newspaper work and keep no help. I do the "must-haves" and omit. the non-essentials. With care and thought we can plan to save housework. A memory prompter hangs on the man tel. When things must be bought why, jot them down. When duties must be done, not them down. Foods that will keep awhile may be pre pared for days in cool weather. I arise at 5, I prepare things handy for breakfast the night before. It pies are wanted for the day I have things all ready, and then utilize the fire while breakfast Is cooking. Cold roaBts and cold ham fill hungry meu and children. Cold beans, baked or healed, are quite "flllln'." Lots of cold left-overs make quick salads. When eggs are cheap we use a great many; when high priced, we sell them. A cereal cooker Is a time saver, for puddings will cook them selves while we patch or write. Steamers are a great invention. Then only think of the hay box! School lunches are my greatest worry, for children's appetites are not like ours when we . attended the "dees trlct" school. I think we are wUer than our mothers were in regard to diet. The fried cake of 40 years ago was not conducive to studious habits but in those days our stomachs must have been that of the ostrich. This puttering habit that some wo men have is exhausting. This drag ging about from day to night Is a weariness to the flesh. When fami lies are willing to be careful and keep their belongings in place a great deal Is lifted from the shoulders of tbe house mother. I have always had the misfortune to live In old-style houses without closets. I am of the opinion that no woman can be a careful house keeper unless she baa closet room. Dollle Goodwill, In the Indiana Farm er. Fashion Notes. Hats are nearly all dark. The hlpless girl is In the height of style. Skirts are long, narrow and high walsted. The vest is an Important feature this season. The opera bags are elaborate af fairs, on which many gold spangles are employed. White coats for the street are long and hang in almost straight lines from the shoulders. Black satin, messallne, or satin faced crepe la exceedingly stylish in colored dresses. For shopping, street or general ser vice, the skirt is usually plain and In clearing length. Tan and wistaria plumes form the stunning trimming on a large hat of leather-colored felt. For visiting cards. Old English, Ro man block and old-fashioned script are all fashionable. Sleeves reach to the wrist and mould the arm with a somewhat un flattering faithfulness. Tiny wreaths of flowers made of ribbon achieve tbe daintiest kind of decoration for girls' .frock. Have you noticed that the vests of some of the newest coats are fastened with a single large button at the bust line? There is no doubt that stripes and checks, either visible or invisible, are much to the fore. The diagonal stripe Is considered perhaps the smartest Many diagonal stripes are Introduc ed into the serges in two shades, such as dark blue and faint cinnamon brown, purple and blue, green and blue, or two shades of brown, .j A run that portends some success has commenced on amber, both the clear and smoked varieties, short necklaces of large, even-sized beads having recently created a furor. Coats of the Dlrectolre type are made without the shaped, stiff Inter linings which are considered essen tial to tailored garments, the Idea be ing to keep the wbcle oft In finish cid eft act New York City. -Such pretty yet simple waists as this one are In con stant demand. They suit both the separate skirt and the entire gown and they are altogether satisfactory. Three-quarter sleeves still retain their favor among many wnmon, and that Imiirth or thn full nun ran Ua used as liked. In addition to Its other advantages the blouse provides an ad- mlrable suggestion for making the sleeves of the earlier season quite up-to-date. In the illustration crepe de chine is combined with bands of satin and with yoke of embroidered net, but all the many fashionable ma terials thaf are thin and soft are ap propriate. For the trimming any banding can be used, and for the yoke lace, tucked net, fancy net and plain net all are appropriate. The waist is made with a fitted lining and on this lining Is arranged the yoke and the tucked front and the backs. The sleeves also are made with foundations and these founda tions are faced to form the deep cuffs when the full length is used. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three yards twenty-four, one iiid three-fourth yards thirty-two, or one and one-half yards forty-four Inches wide, with five-eighth yard of all-over lace for the yoke, two yards of velvet ribbon, or one yard of all-over lace when the long sleeves are used. Newest Paris Sleeves. The vexed question as to the cor rect sleeve length has been answered by one French modiste with no un certain voice. "Sleeves are to be long, so long that not only are the elbows covered, and eke the wrists, but the points must fall right over the knuckles, and in some Instances there are actually concealed thumb holes in the cuffs, through which the thumbs may be passed in order that they may help to keep the sleeves down to their fullest extent." ii Latest lint Flower.

The lust touch In footgear la a well fitting, buttoned boot that extends nearly to the knees. It is of black suede, with a substantial sole, and is fastened up the side with small, black buttons, like, a legging. Sheath Fitting Petticoat. ,' The closely fitting petticoat Is the one in greatest demand Just now, and here is a model that Is adapted to lingerie materials, to silk and to all skirtings. It can be made with or without the flounce, as more or less flare Is desired at the lower edge, and It can be made with or without the yoke, so that It provides for a number of styles. In the Illustration nainsook Is trimmed with embroidery, but the petticoat with the dust r utile only will be found very satisfactory for wear beneath many of the new gowns, this dust ruffle being of the material or of the embroidery, as liked. For dresses of the thinner sort, however, the flounce Is apt to be necessary. The petticoat is made In seven gores. The dust ruffle Is joined to the lower edge, the flounce Is finished with the rullle and the two are ar ranged over the petticoat. The quantity of material required for the medium size Is eight and Ave elghth yards twenty-four, five and one-eighth yards thlrty-slx, or four and three-eighth yards forty-foui Inches wide, with four yards of em broidery five Inches wide for tbe frill Wistaria Hairpins. Because panne velvet and satin hats In the alluring color of wistaria are fashionable, there are g "d-look-ing hatpins in this pale violet color. They have long, slender heads, as have their rivals, the amber ones. Short Cloves Are in Fashion. There will be a smaller demand for long gloves this season than for some time. The reason Is that all sleeves are long accsyt tor tails and lar;e dinners. THE RECIPE.

The habits and requirements of our American visitors play a very important part in trade during the London season. Americans are noted fruit eaters, and much as they appre ciate the delicious products of our hothouse they are very partial to something similar to what they have at home. Their faith in grape fruit is quite remarkable, and at hotels favored by our transatlantic cousins large quantities of this fruit are con sumed, especially at breakfast These same visitors are likewise partial to the large California seedless oranges.
