DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Useful and Happy.
- Try to be useful Just where you
re. Many of us are fond of imagining
tow much we should do If our circum
stances were other than they are.
But that is waste of time. The thing
to do is to do as much as you can for
'Others here and now, and so make the
most of your opportunities.
Don't be so busy preparing for some
ague future time when you will be
happy that you have no time to be
bappy today. The future will soon be
the (resent, and the chances are that,
When it does come, we shall etlll be
so busy planning that we shall miss
.our chance of happiness 'altogether.

Life's Truths.
Life's best good is your share; why
not take it?
God is never away from home.
Time of human flowering is here.
Wait for the command of your own
oul; there is no right for you.
Help all to a higher ideal of life by
presenting that Ideal in your own per
eonallty. Wonder not at the coincidences of
your fortune and your days. Rather
wonder that you ever thought them
coincidences.
Go' through life as a force, not as an
pole-fry.

Ideals.
College Girls Study Babies.
Saying that it is as Important that
college women should be taught the
scientific care of infants as that col
lege men should study agricultural
problems. Dr. Edna D. Day, professor
of Home Economics in the University
Of Missouri at Columbia, has planned
for the women students an elective
course In the raising of babies. Forty
women in Dr. Day's class, practically
the entire number, have expressed
their desire to begin work at once,
nd the first step will be taken when
the class will visit the Parker Memo
rial Hospital Rt Columbia.
Dr. Day will lecture while a nurse
bathes a baby. Such subjects a3 the
temperature of the water, when and
low often a soap should be used, what
kind of towels are most sanitary and
what kind of clothing must be used to
keep the baby's skin from being irri
tated will be discussed.
Dr. Day believes that a nursery
Should be run in connection with the
university where women of Columbia
could leave their babies through the
day.
Art in I Auutu MAmn
Several women In the city are try
ing hard to introduce more artistic
conditions into the homes of the poor,
and Miss Grace Lincoln Temple Is one
of the leading spirits lh the movement.
She believes that women, no matter
how little they can afford to spend on
the luxuries of the eye and taste,
ought to be taught how to got their
money's worth In what Is genuinely
artistic and beautiful, instead of spend
ing it on atrocities of painted ditaa
and cheap Imitation bric-a-brac. At a
meeting of children on the East Side
a few days ago MIssTempleillustrated
her remarks with an inkstand mada
In the likeness of a china pig, and
warned her little hearers against such
hideous Incongruities. Miss Lincoln
says the results of her efforts and
those of her friends already are bear
ing fruit, and that prints of famous
picture are taking the place9 of
audy lithographs or imitation flowers
In many homes, parents and children
alike being delighted with the change
when they realize that representations
of real works of art can be bought as
cheaply as the tawdry imitation bronz
es and "oil painting" with which so
many of the poorer class of stores us
ually are filled. New York Press.
Workers Cold to Suffrage.
The suffrage movement has made
Its appearance in Munich, but its ad
vocates are disappointed at the lack
of encouragement with which they
have been received. The field was
regarded as pre-eminently promising
from the fact that the women of Mu
nich give themselves to harder tasks
than those of any other big city on
either side of the Atlantic. They com
plete with men in almost every line of
work. The street cleaning business
they have almost entirely to them
solves, and recently many of them
Bought and gained positions as "switch
men" on a new surface line that has
Just been opened. They are conspicu
ous in a green uniform suit and a
green Tyrolean hat, and the costume
of the women "messenger boys" in
Munich makes them also marked by
all foreigners. . More than 30 percent
of the hodcarrlers employed in the
building trade of the city are women,
and they climb the ladders in the
eight hours of their dally toll as
stoutly as any of the men who work
with them. The snag the suffragettes
In Munich, as well as those In other
German towns whereslmilarconditlons
prevail, have struck is the fact that
the women seem thoroughly contented
with their lot. They earn fair wages,
and, with the practioal independence
ttiat it gives them, they refuse to be
In the least interested in academic
Questions of equal rights and the bal
lot New York Press.

The Happy Habit.
Mothers who are constantly cau
tioning the little ones not to do this or
not to do that, tolling them not to
laugh or make a noise, until they loss
their naturalness and become little
old men and women, donot realize the
harm they are doing.
There Is an irrepressible longing for
amusement, for rollicking fun, in
young people, and if these longings
were more fully met In the home it
would not be so difficult to keep the
boy and girl under the parental roof.
A happy, Joyous home Is a powerful
magnet to child and man. The sacred
memory of it has kept many a person
from losing hts self-respect and from
the commission of crime.
Fun Is the cheapest and best medi
cine In the world for your children as
well as for yourself. Give It to them
In good, large doses. It will not only
save you doctor's bills, but it will also
help to make your children happier,
and will improve thelrchances In life.
The very fact that the Instinct to
play the love of fun Is so imperious
in the child shows a great necessity in
its nature which if suppressed will
leave a famine in its life.
A sunny, Joyous, happy childhood is
to the individual what a rich soil and
genial sun are to the young plant.
If the early conditions are not favor
able, the plant becomes starved. This
Is true with the human plant A
starved, suppressed, stunted childhood
makes a dwarfed man. A Joyous,
happy, fun-loving environment de
velops powers, resources and possibili
ties which would remain dormant in a
cold, dull, repressing environment.

Why They're Upside Down.
"I'h glad," said the man, "that the
season for open trolley cars is nearly
over."
His sister raised her eyebrows.
"In every open trolley car I've taken
lately," he continued, "I have seen
women with medallion pins or some
other kind of brooch at the back of
their nock, and, three times out of
four yes, nine out of ten the things
have boon upside down. I always
thought that American women were
pretty careful dressers, but I've had
to revise my opinion,
my opinion."
His sister sniffed.
"Here," she said. "Take my cameo
pin and just fasten It to the back of
your coat collar."
With a recklesw disregard to possible
damage to the coat, the man did as re
quested. Without a word, the sister
preferred him a hand glass, and, lead
ing him to a mirror, told him to gaze
at the pin. It was upside down.
"How in thund " began the man.
His sister assumed the attitude of
the teacher of the infant class.
"N'ow, you see that you'll have to
revise your opinion some more," she
said. "Putting on the pin which has
a top and bottom so that It will be
right side up when worn at the back
of the neck Is an art. I'll grant that
few women have mastered It, but you
shouldn't be so quick to blame them.
"It's this way. In putting In a pin
you use your right hand, don't you?
Well, the natural motion is from right
to left.
"This Is as it should be for the front
of the dress, but just as soon as you
begin to pin your collar at the back of
the neck you must Teverse the motion
or have the figure on the pin reverse!
It's generally the latter. You've got
to put It on with your left hand and
move from left to right, or. If you use
your right hand, remember to move
from left to right. Otherwise the fig
ure will be upside down."
The man sniffed In his turn.
"Under these complicated circum
stances, I'd suggest that they stop
wearing the pesky things," he said.

Fashion Notes.
Large hats are the rule for evening
wear.
Sleeves have a decidedly full ten
dency. Velvet shopping hags are returning
to favor.
Purple stockings are the season's
noveltfes.
Long plumes are to sweep about the
new big hats.
White suede gloves are most popu
lar for evening.
Tulle and mallne were never more
popular than now.
Ermine Is being more used than for
many seasons past.
The Colonial coiffure is bewitching-
ly pretty for the evening.
Small bows are replacing the large
ones for tying the young girl's hair.
Crystal and gold bugles are used for
outlining designs In lace on many
handsome gowns.
Turbans with dull gold trimmings
and flowers of tarnished metal, are
worn for evening.
Sealskin in combination with tbe
soft shades of panne velvet is seen In
many a dressy hat
A favorite pattern in the silk muf
flers is the polka dot The dots are
large and plentiful.
Bands of chinchilla are used as trim
ming to some of the handsome even
ing scarfs of messaline.
White homespun and blanket
weaves are In vogue for outing suits.
They are also being used to make
up garments for automobile touring.
Velvet and gilt are much used In
Paris neckwear for the season, the vel
vet in tiny bands and edgings, and the
gilt in embroidery, tassels and dro;s.
New York City. The simple full
waist made with the round neck is
always a charming one for evening
occasions. This one Is finished with a
flat shaped band that allows effective
use of embroidery or of applique, and
1b graceful in the extreme, while it Is
absolutely simple. It can be made
either with the short sleeves Illus
trated or with sleeves of three-quar-
ter length, including two puffs, or If
the waist is wanted for daytime use
the yoke and deep puffs can be added,
making it high neck and with long
sleeves.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing, and consists of front and backs.
These last are gathered and arranged
over the foundations and the shaped
band finishes the neck. When high
neck Is used the lining is cut to the
throat and faced with yoking mate
rial. There are regulation sleeve lin
ings on which the full puffed sleeves
are arranged and which are faced to
form the cuffs when full length Is de
sired. The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three yards
twenty-one or twenty-four, two and a
half yards twenty-seven or thirty-two,
one and three-eighth yards forty-four
Inches wide, with five-eighth yard of
Bilk for bands, one yard of all-over
lace when high neck and long sleeves
are used.
The Fashionable Veils.
Face veils of plain mesh with small
chenille dots close together, either In
black or brown, are most fashionable.
The brown veils are worn with the
green or checked gowns more fre
quently than black ones with tho hats
that match as the contrast of color is
not as sharp.
The Embroidered Initiul.
Many beautiful monograms are
made within a circle, a square, an ob
long square, an oval or within a leaf
form, and it is frequent In these late
and most beautiful lettering devices
to find the backgrounds filled In with
darned work, with seedstltch, with
basket weave or some small lattice
pattern. This method is intended to
throw the letters into relief, at the
same time that it renders the Initial
more ornate and beautiful.
Tlie Upstanding Brush.
A very satisfactory substitute for
the osprey is a brush of gold wire
nearly as fine as thread. A gold or
nament holds the wire threads at the
base. This resembles an Old World
boquet holder in its cornucopia form.
The upstanding brush is used to give
a military dash to fur toques, and is
invading the realm of millinery with
great success.
Seven Gored Maternity Skirt.
The skirt that is simple, yet In
cludes a generous number of seams,
is always a desirable one for mater
ntty wear. The seams give an effect
of slenderness and the many gores al
low satisfactory shaping. This on
can be made either in walking or
round length and is adjusted at tbe
waist line by means of an elastic in
serted in a casing, so that the waist is
easily accommodated to the need.
Serge Is the material illustrated, but
all plain and all striped sorts are ap
propriate. Figures should be avoided.
The skirt Is cut in seven gores,
which are shaped to give the best
possible lines. It is finished at the
waist line with a casing and elastic
that allow of Increasing the size eas
ily and satisfactorily.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is ten yards
twenty-seven or thirty-two, five and
three-quarter yards forty-four inches
wide, if material has figure or nap;
eight and three-quarter yards twentr-
four or twenty-seven, seven and three
quarter yards thirty-two or five and
three-quarter yards forty-four Inches

wide If material has neither figure
nor nap; width of skirt at lower edge
three and Beven-elghth yards.
Crystul Hugh's.
Evidently the crystal bugle, with
its half Bister the gold bugle, is to
supply most of the trimming this sea
son. It is from a quarter to a half
Inch long, and Is pendent from tulle,
net and chiffon cloth.
Mourning Hats.
Nun's veiling is a material particu
larly suitable for the small mourning
hat. It drapes easily and is light in
weight .

Artistic Lamps.
Many clever women find most beau
tiful lamps for their drawing rooms
or dining rooms by buying a vase of
quaint design with a suitable recep
tacle for oil and having a burner fitted
to the top at some lamp establish'
ment. In this way one can easily find
pottery to harmonize with the furnish'
ings of the room end have a wider
range of choice than by making a se
lection at the lamp shop. New York
Journal.
To Ventilate Bedrooms.
Some people do not care to sleep
with their bedroom windows open in
winter in fear of catching cold. The
following plan works splendidly. Pro
cure a piece of wood an inch or two
in thickness, and exactly the length of
the bottom ledge of the window frame.
Raise the lower sash, Insert the wood,
then press t'.ie sash down. This al
1 lows a current of air to pass through
' the room without causing a draught-

Washing Gingham.
The following Is the recipe
washing gingham:
for
I Make a hot suds from a pure soap
not one strong with alkali and in
this put an even tablespoonful of
kitchen salt to one gallon of the soap
suds to set the color.
When well mixed, put in the gar
ment to be washed, rub it on the
hands and dip H up and down. Do not
rub on soap. Rinse in two waters and
lastly In faintly blued water. Wring
dry as possible, shake out and hang
in the shade to dry.
If any starch is used it should be
thin. Do not starch a skirt above the
hips. Shake out the goods before hang
ing. New York Telegram.
To Clean Old Glass.
Antique glass which does not re
quire mending, but is dim and luster
less, may be made to shine and spark
le once more If It is washed in water
to which a little ammonia has been
added.
Soapsuds spell ruination to crystal
ware, while drying it with a duster
only serves to dim It still more. After
having rinsed and left It to soak in
ammonia water, using a soft brush if
the glass Is cut into facets and the dirt
has caught in the squares, the article
should be placed in a box and covered
with sawdust. After an hour it will be
found that the wood dust has dried
the glass and given It a bright luster.
The old-fashioned cut crystal de
canters which are so much used nowa
days become almost hopelessly discol
ored when they have held old port or
any wine which loaves a deposit. To
clean them an old-fashioned remedy is
that of fine ohopped potato skins
with which the decanter should be
filled, and a cork Inserted in the mouth
In place of the stopper. This should be
left for three days for the Bklns to
ferment, when it should be well shak-
on, emptied, and rinsed with clear
water. The decanter should either be
reversed and left to drain for a day
or two or may be dried more expedi
tiously at the side of the stove. Lon

Business Reported About Normal but
Not Evenly Distributed Pros
pect Are Encouraging.
New York R. G. Dun & Co.'
"Weekly Review of Trade" says:
"With a somewhat severe winter
drawing to a close and with the sub
sidence of excitement In the financial
markets, the industrial and trade sit
uation shows improvement and the
outlook for the spring season Is prom
ising, it is an easy matter, of course,
to pick flaws In the situation, certain
aspects of which are unfavorable.
Among these may be mentioned the
decreasing excess of exports over im
ports, the balance of trade in favor of
this country during the current fiscal
year being trta smallest since 1896,
and but for the foreign purchases of
American securities during the recent
decline there would probably be heavy
exports of gold. Then the bond mar
ket Is unfavorable for large flotations,
and this retards extensive works of
construction.
"The Philadelphia strike Is an ugly
development, hurting trade In , that
city and Injuring sentiment elsewhere.
The heavy liabilities of defaulting;
concerns during February, due, how
ever, chiefly to four very large fail
ures, are not a pleasant Incident. A
slight tendency to a reduction in
building operations Is to be noted.
"There is also considerable dispo
sition to wait for congressional legis
lation and court decisions before en
tering upon large business commit
ments. But, in spite of all thoss
things, the fact remains that a big
volume of business, at least closely
approximating normal, Is being car
ried on.
"Prospects of an active business in
Iron and steel multiply. It is true
that the recent Improvements in the
trade has been largely sentimental,
but It is believed that several Import
ant undertakings will be Inaugurated
with the advent of open weather, es
pecially In structural lines."
