WOMEN AS NATURAL ENEMIES

Writer Advances Some Good Reasons Why This Unfortunate Condition Jt’ Must Exist. "Tke average woman now begins that study of society which will merge ultimately with the marriage campaign. She makes many discoveries which she admits frankly to herself. She comes to many conclusions,** says Inez Haynes Glllmore in Harper's Bazar, "which sink unnoticed into her subconscious mind. If marriage, for instance, is her natural career, then men are her natural prey. "But unfortunately there are never enough men In her world to go round; and of those from whom she may hope to choose some are much more'desirable than others. Naturally she prefers the desirable ones—-1. e., the *elig!bles.’ But —and here she runs against her first obstacle —every other single woman in her circle has come to the same conclusion. From the Instant she realizes this she must declare war on every other member of her sex. "Men must often wonder at that minute and merciless examination to which, on a first meeting, every woman submits every other woman. Men must often marvel at the power of quick observation which women always develop in these circumstances. This Is only' the swift Interrogation with which a warrior surveys the arms of his opponent. Women are forever discovering and complex weapons In the possession of rivals. And, perhaps, the most terrifying element in the situation is psychological—her sense of bafflement, in that she cannot judge of women for men any more than they can judge of men for her. Every other woman becomes “her enemy. To succeed in her world she must play a lone hand and a cut-throat game.-

Inexperienced.

In a boarding house for bachelors, Amanda, typical '‘Mammy, 1 ’ looked at ter the guests’ comfort in true southern style so well that one of the men thought he would take her away with him in the summer in the capacity of housekeeper. Toward_sprlng he waylaid her in the hall one day and said: "Mandy, do you like the country?" Mandy reckoned she'did. z “Would you like to go away with me this summer and keep house for me?" Mandy was sure she would. "Suppose I get just a bungalow. Do you think you could take care of it nicely by yourself?” Mandy gasped and rolled her eyes. ""Deed, no, massa! Reckon you all better get somebody else; I don’t know nothin* about taking care of any animals!" —Harper’s Magazine.

WINTER WRAP DESIGNS

SIMPLICITY NOT A FEATURE OF THE NEW STYLES. Prominent Idea Is the Large Collars, Meant to Be Rolled Up About the Ears In Extreme Cold Weather. The new wraps, designed for the coming winter, are long, loose, rpomy affairs, whether they are to be used for general utility or for dressy wear. With all their apparent simplicity, they are carefully cut, and, in fact, anything but simple. Heavy clothes, for ordinary year, are used In the coats designed for comfort. Collars are large and arranged to roll up about the neck when needed. The two-faced fabrics will be popular again, providing reversible garments in some instances. A gray coat, having a reverse side in amethyst color may be worn either side out. Dark blue or black with reverse side in heather color is another chic combination. For street wear the sober colors are chosen; for the auto ride, and for many other occa-

sions the brighter colors provide a better choice. These heavy coats are as warm, almost, as fur, and have certain advantages over these luxurious gasments. Evening wraps and those designed with an eye to grace and beauty, are much draped. The kimono coat holds Its own along with the new wraps of satin and velvet. The combination of rich embroideries with dark solid color fabrics must be conceded to be most beautiful. Wraps of black satin lined with the same or contrasting colors, are draped much in the manner of the new skirts, and when fastened, display their-lines to the best advantage, enfolding the figure gracefully. Many brocaded linings are to be used, Royal blue with glints of bright gold, shades of copper and brown, rich purples and exquisite gray and white are alluring splendors in these fabrics.

BABIES TO DRESS IN STYLE

Pannier Skirts and Hate With Oatrich Feathers Are the Fashion for Infants. Baby’s clothes are just as elaborate, just as much decorated and as carefully finished with regard to style as are mother’s this year, and are also very expensive. There are little velvet coats, with hats or bonnets to' match. There also are combinations of mufflers, scarfs and hats to match. There are diminutive chinchilla coats just like the larger ones for mother. And there are wee dresses which have a decided pannier effect. The showing in baby hats is almost as large, in some stores as the regular millinery department. The little hats are decorated with ostrich feathers, lace and other accessories which heretofore have been left to older stylos. Adjustable Bandeau. The girl who likes to forego a potiche in summer may makel her hats that were fitted over once '-more becoming by means of a bandeau. The nuisance of sewing these in has usually been greater than that of arranging the hair over a rat when wearing a hat. Now comes an adjustable bam deau that need not be sewed. It comes in various shapes and sizes and has three rust-proof clips that are pressed into shape in a minute'by slipping under the lining. One bandeau will do for various hats and may be set at any angle to decrease the size ■ts the be* crown and prevent it from resting tc«s far down.

When considering garments of velvet, satin, etc., lined with bfocades, It must be borne in mind that they for grown-ups, for matrons, "had not for. the young maid, There f Is nothing about them to suggest girlhqod. Simpler clothes, or at least those that seem simpler, belong properly to the merry maid, before she takes on the dignity of the matron. . JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

LITTLE NEW IN LINE OF FUR

Chinchilla Squirrel the Only Novelty Worth Mention, and It Promises to Be Popular. It may seem a trifle premature to talk about furs; but, although the weather is still quite ‘ summery, the large shops already have begun to display fur garments of every de scription, suitable for the chilly days of late fall and even for the regular winter season. So far as can be judged at this time, there will be little new In ths fur line during the coming season Of novelty furs there is so far but a single achievement which deserves mention, the chinchilla squirrel. This is a gray squirrel so treated and tip ped that it has the softness and much of the coloring of chinchilla It seems safe to predict that It will become quite 1 popular. The French designers of small furs have sent over charming sets in this fur, combined with gray silk or velvet or used alone, and It Is alsc being used on coats and frocks though it Is not cheap enough to be used lavishly, by the crowd or to be readily commonlzed.

Echoes of Fashion.

Many of the newest coat models in black taffeta and satin are cut away sharply from the bust into a long pointed tail at the back. Nearly all thin or transparent fabrics are made with a slightly bouffant over-skirt suggestive of the pannier, but for those figures which cannot stand this arrangement around the hips there is the tunic, which though falling almost plain from the waist, Is cut with a rounded edge just above the knees, slightly gathered Into a lace Insertion or trimming, and edged with silk fringe a few inches in depth. This gives,the pannier effect, yet keeps the fullness away from the hips.

Bag for Shoes.

A woman who is hard on her silk stockings has learned to utilize the tops for bags for her shoes and slippers. When the runs and holes get undarnable the tops of the stockings are cut off midway of the leg and the lower edge sewed across In a French seam. •A shoe Is kept in each of these stocking bags, which take up no room, cost nothing and act as an absorber of dust. Sometimes the kind of shoes is outlined on the hem to make them more easily distinguishable.

The New Sleeves.

The new influence of the trimmed sleeves Is making itself felt just now. It will be seen where the lawn frill runs almost to the elbow. Sometimes it is seen filled right up to the shoulder This fancy may lead later to a revival of the puffed and banded sleeves of the Elizabethan era.

HANDSOME ORNAMENT.

Picturesque diamond and tortoise sheH comb for a brunette. The Chiffon Pannier. The chiffon pannier has certainly come to stay. By choosing a delicate contrasting color to the charmeuse which terms the frock, it can be made to give a delightful and unexpected effect. ' . •’ , ’ ' In one importation is seen a pannier of pale primrose chiffon mounted on a skirt of pale blue charmeuse.. This is draped at the back. The chiffon forms the upper part of the tunic, and the' lace, which is Inserted down the front, is finished with a row of tiny blue silk bows the color of the charmeuse. A pannier of this type is nothing but a pomewhat full tunic caught up un derneath instead of being hemmed.

BEST FOOD AND BEVERAGES

Proper Selection Means Health and Beauty to thr Wotfran Who la Sensible. Since the main obpect of all eating is—or rather should be—the obtaining of nourishment that will build up the blood, the muscles, the tissues and the nerves, woman’s mad devotion to foods and liquids that cannot possibly afford her body nourishment is passing strange. Perhaps the reason she is so indifferent to the nutritive valu»s of her food is because she imagines that her appetite is given her that she may please her palate by swallow ing foolish and indigestible things, if this is the state of affairs she will, cf course, when she reads this article, ’.aboo for the future that taste delicious, but do nothing else worth mentioning, and will pin her faith to the foods that will steadily build up her system until her rosy lips, pink and white skin and delicately rounded form are the admiration of those near and dear to her. Ripe fruits eaten In the morning, with crisp rolls, and followed up by a dish of oatmeal properly cooked, flooded with rich cream and covered with powdered sugar, is a breakfast fit for a queen. Steamed rice, hominy or barley served for luncheon, with rich cream, are ideal. If this is not enough for a ravenous appetite, follow It up with a baked apple or a clip of biked custard. Soups; broths, fruits and salad also are desirable for lunchec n, as are baked potatoes, new peas and delicately broiled lamb, chops. What for dinner? - Why, a porterhouse steak, flecked with dabs of butter, floating in Its own rl ;h juices and seasoned .well with salt and pepper, is excellent both for the stomach and the complexion. With this goes creamed potatoes, freshly picked vegetables, a lettuce sala d and a fruit dessert. Last, but not least, the would-be beauty should patronize malted milk, as it will bring back lost energy and flood the cheeks with crimson*.

Junket or Curds.

"Curds” is the genuine oLd name, and they call it "cruddes” in Scotland. It owes its name of junket to the old custom of making it in great masses, then lifting it out of the bowls and laying it on clean rushes for the whey to drain away from it. Juncus is the Latin name for rush—hence junket. y These solid curds were used to cook with. Here is a recipe for “Curd Cakes.” Take a pint of curds, four yolks and two whites of eggs, add sugar, nutmeg and a little flour, mix well, and drop the cakes like fritters into hot fat, and fry lightly. Corydon told Thyrsls "H«w Fairy Mab the junkets ate,” and there is nothing nicer than a good. junket, sweetened judiciously, flavored sparingly with cinnamon or nutmeg and served with a generous aMewance of thick cream.

Baked Cherry Dumplings.

One quart of prepared flour, two heaping tablespoonfuls of lard, two cups of fresh milk, a little salt, two cups of stoned cherries, one-balf cupful of sugar; put the lard into the salted flour, wet up with the milk, roll in a sheet one-quarter of an inch thick and cut into squares about four inches across; put two large spoonfuls of cherries in the center of each, sugar them, turn up the edges of the paste and pinch them together; lay the joined edges downward upon a floured baking pan and bake half an hour, or until browned.

Good Idea.

A woman noted for her careful housekeeping has the inside of all her bureau drawers painted white and then treated with a coat of cream colored enamel. This, she declares, is more sanitary than any lining pad could be and when cleaning is necessary all that is required is to wipe them out with a damp cloth. It is a good idea to treat pantry and kitchen shelves in the same manner, also cupboards and sideboards, drawers and shelves. Perfect cleanliness would then be assured.

Rocks.

One cup of powdered sugar creamed with two-fifths cup of butter. Add two well-beaten eggs, one and onehalf cups of flour, one teaspoon each of cinnamon and cloves. Add a pound ofxwalnuts chopped with a pound of raisins. Finally stir in a teaspoon of soda dissolved In a little hot water. Droo bv spoonfuls on buttered tins and bake in moderate oven.

To Keep Green Vegetables.

When wishing to keep vegetables—such as greens, lettuce, parsley, etc., until ’the following day, place, with the roots, or where they ht.ve been cut, in a vessel containing water, exactly as you would a bunch of cut flowers, and they will be as fresh as If newly cut.—National Magazli-e.

Fried Scallops.

Clean one quart scallops, turn into a saucepan and eook until they begin to shrivel, drain and dry between towels. Season with salt and pepper; roll in fine crumbs, dip in egg, again in crumbs and fry two minutes in deep fat, then drain on brown paper. Serve with sauce tartare.

Pepper Salad.

Shred green peppers very fine and add one sliced sweet red pepper Serve on lettuce with a French .iress tag.

Women

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

The “change of life” is a most critical period in a woman’s existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. When her system is in a deranged condition, she may be predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of some organ. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot dashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, vari- - able appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman’s great change may be expected. These symptoms are calls from nature for help, The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women’s system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried many women safely through this crisis.
