BRADSTREET'S WEEKLY REPORT
SQUARE WITH WORLD AT 35.
In address on "Hygienic Living,"
given in the Gilbert School recently,
Dr. E. H. Arnold, of New Haven, lec
turer at Yale Medical School, said
that curvature of the spine frequently
resulted from sitting In a certain posi
tion in school.
"Eight girlB are thus afflicted to
one boy," he said, and he attributed
this to "the boyish spirit of deviltry,"
which keeps lads constantly shifting
about, while the girl, ever anxious to
please the teacher, assumes a position
and keeps it. "She suffers from hav
ing been good," said Dr. Arnold. The
average child of parents In ordinary
Circumstances, he went on, represent
ed an Investment at one year of $50
to f 100, and at fifteen or sixteen
years of $2000. These estimates are
not In rgard to the value to the pa
rents In affection, nor Is the actual ex
pense to the community In schools
considered.
"At eighteen," Dr. Arnold said,
"the average child begins to keep
feimself, and at thirty-five, the results
of his labors considered, he Is prac
tically 'square with the world.' Thus,
a person dying under that age goes
ont of the world Indebted to the com
munity. Consequently the commun
ity should leave nothing undone In
protection for Its children, for if the
results are not what they should be
the community Is the loser.".
AMERICAN HUSBAND 3.
"In America the vast majority of
women get no social help from their
husbands," says Mrs. O. H. P. Bel
mont, In Harper's Bazar. "The latter

take the position that all the duties
pertaining to society belong exclusive
ly to the wife, little realizing the bur
Wen laid upon her. Their own duty
they consider fully discharged when
they supply the funds and present
themselves at the appointed hour,
correctly dressed fot dinner or opera.
Too often they fail to appreciate the
Wife's Intense ambition to represent
adequately their name, their fortune,
their standing In the community. ,
The ruinimeni oi social oDiiira
tlons by no means represents the
Whole of the duties of a society wom
an's .existence. There Is no end to
the demands of church work, chari
ties, reforms, and every kind of phil
anthropy. Practically each woman
has one or more Bpeclal objects with
their call for board meetings and per
sonal Investigation and service. With
modern life has come the new de
mand for ceaseless Intellectual cul
ture through lectures on art, music,
science, and literature. In recent
years this has been supplemented by
the desire to keep abreast of current
vents, to understand the problems
of the hour, and this Is attained
thrAiieh constant attendance on
classes for their study and considera
, tion. To the culture of the mind Is
added In these progressive days the
systematic development of .the body
woman entering the field of athletics
s an ambitious competitor of man in
.what has heretofore been his own ex
clusive domain. Golf, tennis, riding,
ehootlng, driving a motor, have now
absorbed any fragments of leisure
'that might have been left to women,"
RESTAURANT ETIQUETTE. -'A
girl who has been Invited for the
first time to dine in a restaurant
!Wrltes to ask what she shall wear
and how to conduct herself. To the
nrst query I say she may wear either
her dressy 'cloth gown or a pretty allk,
and I favor a cloth suit with dainty
separate waist Her dress hat should
he worn, for she must look attractive
without being conspicuous.
Her escort Bhould call at her home,
and when they enter the restaurant
he should precede her. When her
oscort notifies the head waiter that a
table for two Is required, according
to the custom In this country, the
girl follows the waiter, preceding her
hostr but If she wishes to follow the
- Vnrnnpan custom, and allow her
escort to go first, he will be directly
behind the waiter. Then, u me lo
cation does not suit, the man can ob
ject before the girl has seated her
self. Whether she precedes or fol
lows her escort Into the restaurant Is
finflnnal. ...
The girl takes the seat opposite to
her host, the chair ot wnicn snouia
hA iimwn out either by the head
waiter or the escort. Only when the
table Is very large, so she could not
talk to her host comfortably, does
the , girl alt beside him.
As a rule the man selects the dln

her by the waiter, but unless she is
requested by her host she makes' no
suggestion as to what shall be or

dishes be mentions, she is at ltDerty
to bWbb an opinion. Some men dis

THE BODY'S KITCHEN. .
Mrs. Mildred Manly Easton gave a
living picture entertainment at the
Waldorf-Astoria yesterday. If the
women who attended didn't know
when they left how they look when
they live In the kitchens of their
bodies that is to say, the stomach
and the highbrow aspect which dwell
ing exclusively In the library the
head gives them, It was because
they hadn't kept their eyes on the
plump little lecturer.
' Mrs. Easton said a good many
human bodies were like a big house
she once lived In.
"Th main oblect Imnosed on us
by the neighborhood was to keep the
mable doorsteps clean. The nouse
was full of servants bumping Into
enih nth fir doing useless things.
There was a nice drawing room, but
I never had any time to live in it,
because I was a slave to those ser
vants and the house and the marble
steps.
'JDon't let your body be like that
house," Mrs. Easton adjured her hear
ers. "Have the servants that look af
ter the kitchen part ot It so well
trained that they don't have to be
looked after, and you live In the
drawing room, which Is your heart.
Don't live In your kitchens, like those
big buxom women that eat all the
time and want to give you a recipe
every time you meet them.
"This is the way you look when.
you live in your kitchen," and the
speaker let herself down about five
Inches. "If I wasn't dressed this way
I could show you better," Bhe added,
regretfully. '
"The straight front kind! I knew
It!" murmured a woman who had
Just wandered In from the Legislative
League, which was Imbibing suffrage
further down the hall.
Mrs. Easton's nextllghtnlng change
was Into the woman who lives in her
drawing room.
"How do you do? I'm so glad to
see you!" she exclaimed, lifting her
chest, putting out her hand and giv
ing a sweet smile and bow. "That's
the way you look when you live m
your hearfcand entertain all humanl-
lty, and don't let the front doorsteps
and the servants swallow up your
Ufe." New York Tribune. ,
Poplins are in vogue again.
Coats are shorter and closer.
Braiding Is very much in style.
Bath slippers of raffia are finding
favor.
- Buckles ot cut steel are to be quite
the rage.
Never were mauves and grays la
greater demand.
For dressy occasions large flat hats
predominate. -
Mallne or lace is excellent for the
mid-season hat. '
Mallnes of all shales will be used
to veil hat crowns. i
Ostrich plumes are back with an
nnexpected prominence.
Favorite materials for school coats
for the little ones are the heavy
tweeds, plain or with double face, and
with wool serges.
' Pretty semi-evening gqwns, which
the French call casino- gowns, are
hoi no- worn with but - slight de-
colletage and transparent guimpes ot
tulle or mousseilne.
Ttimmea for evening wear are in
net, both black and white, , and
trimmed with lace. They are all made
with the high stock collar, the collar
less Dutch neck not being considered
smart as a finish to a dressy separate
waist.
ManT nf tha new cuirass gowns
are designed to hook under the left
arm. This leaves an unbroken line
at the front and back and It helps to
carVy out the Idea of armor plate
which formtd the original cuirass.
Now York City. Flounce skirts
are always pretty, and the one illus
trated Is among the latest to have ap
peared. It Is exceedingly graceful
and exceedingly smart and It Is adapt
ed both to plain and to fancy mate-
rials. Embroidered flouncing makes
the one Illustrated, but bordered ma
terials include marquisettes and
voiles, silks and wools quite as well
as the flouncing, while the skirt need
not be confined to such, for Its
straight edges can be trimmed In any
way to suit the fancy. Added to Its
other advantages the skirt Is exceed
ingly simple and very easily made, in
volving little time and little labor.
The gored foundation means perfect
smoothness over the hips as, well as
simplicity of adjustment.
The skirt consists ot the upper por
tion and the two flounces. The up
per portion is made In seven gores
and the flounces are straight and
gathered. The lower one Is joined to
the foundation, the upper Is arranged
over It.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is five and three
quarter yaiJs of flouncing twenty-flve
Inches wide, with one and three-quarter
yards of plain material twenty
seven for the i upper portions; or
eight and a half yards twenty-four or
twenty-seven, six and a half yards
thirty-two or five yards forty-four
Inches wide If plain material Is used
throughout.
Kaiser Cloak.
The German kaiser cloak, com
fortable, commodious and practical,
is one ot the best innovations ot the
season. It has an enormous fur col
lar and revers.
Wreath For the Hair.
A new wreath for the hair is ot
dull gold daisies, a relief from the
ever-present straight band that has so
long bound up the hair in the even-to"-
- -
All-Black Hats.
All-black hats of French velvet
will be worn.
The Glitter of Gowns.
For evening wear entire dresses are
made of large meshed net, composed
of tiny tubes of Jet or steel over a
transparent lining of a brighter color.
Thus dressed, the wearer resembles
a huge glowworm. All this glitter,
so garish and theatrical In the day
time, Is made marvellously becoming
by artificial light.
" Foulards are coming in such lovely
shades and patterns that it's no won
der they are to be more than ever
popular this season. One of wisteria,
figured over with irregular dashes of
white, is shown here.- It Is designed
for general wear. A little hand em
broidery on the vest adds to its at
tractiveness. The "kimona" or "peas.
ant" type of shoulder-and-sleeve-In-
one, is again fashionable.
House Wear Gowns.
Gowns of cashmere for house wear
have now received a velvet touch
which enhances their charm and gives
them a new opportunity tor coloring
the dresses.
; Puffings Return.
So tar as the new trimmings are
concerned, we have been threatened
with a , return of the puffings and
trillings and Sittings of the seventies.
PINEAPPLEADE.
Peel a Juicy pineapple, taking care
to pick out all the eyes, and chop fine
or shred with a fork. Sprinkle with
sugar to sweeten and let it stand un
til the sugar Is melted. Pour one
quart of freshly boiled water over the
shredded pine, add more sugar if
ileeded and set away to cool. When
cold, strain and serve with a few bits
ot fresh pineapple floating on top of
the glass. New York Telegram.
OATMEAL-RAISIN GINGERBREAD.

dients and mix well.' Pour into a but
tered tin and bake. A portion ot this

A good way to make mush Is to use
a wire potato masher when stirring,
and you will find no lumps In it when
done.
tfxnarienpad housewives say that
all kinds of food that would attract

A plnnn hriek represents an excel
lent makeshift for a fiatlron. ' Brick
retains heat better than the perfor
ated metal rests which are usually
employed for the purpose.
Meals of inordinate length are no
longer considered good form even for
nlntinrntn occasions. ' A few courses
dellciously cooked and properly served
are all that are necessary even for
dinner giving.
Faded artificial flowers can be re
newed by painting them with water
colors. Use a camel's hair brush for
the purpose. Anallne dyes can be
substituted for the water colors. Com
mon red ink dilated with water gives
an exquisite shade of shrimp pink-.
When -a veil has become limp and
gray with dust It can be renovated by
rolling It smoothly on a paste board
roll such as Is used In mailing pic
tures and holding it over the steam

rnffen Vettlea should never be al
lowed to become dull and tarnished,
as they are difficult to clean when
much stained. A cut lemon, dipped
in powdered bath-brick, is, however,
usually successful In removing aisng
iirlne marks, the kettle being then
washed with warm soapy water, and
a final polish given with the aid ot a
soft cloth and powdered bath-brick.
More Cheerful Feeling In Agricultural
Sections It Shown, However.
"Trade as a whole is still quiet,
pending clearer views of crop and
price outcome, but there Is In evidence
a rather more cheerful feeling in
agricultural sections, where Injury
from the recent Cold wave proves to
have been rather exaggerated, and the
securities markets are also stronger
3n the evidence of enlarging demand
tor American bonds abroad.
"Best reports as td trade come from
the larger markets of the Central
West, Northwest and Southwest. East
ern trade reports are ot a slight im
provement at some large markets, but
of trade as a whole being quiet
"ThA rpnorta from thn industries
vary quite widely. The building trade
report for April shows good gains
over ealier months. Lumber and
building materials are fairly active
East and a good demand West. The
iron trade la Irregular. Pig Iron pro
duction is being curtailed, but finish
ing mills are still well employed,
though orders on hand are smaller.
There Is a slightly better feeling in
cotton goods, though the price situa
tion there is a bar to active trade. The
woolen goods manufacturing trades
are irregular, partly because ot
changes of fashion, and raw wool is
easier, with some foreign wools being ,
re exported to take advantage ot high
er prices abroad.
