WOMAN AND HOME.

THE GROWING SCARCITY OF YOUNG WOMEN FOR HOUSEWORK, ik

Wood Health aiul Physical Beauty—Made Dishes— Plain Talk for Hu»lanl»—"Xoah's Ark" Quilt—A Fat Woman'* Complaint—Hint* for the Household.

An elderly r.lfo, who had advertised in •Bin for several months, said: "The great evil in America, as I have learned it from many housewives from many cities, is the growing scarcity of females for housework. The factories, mill. sewing rooms, offices of nil kinds, shops, etc., ore attracting young women, who consider housework a disgrace. Very inai:y yp'.vij women would rather toil from morning until night for $y a week and pay for their ow.i Itoanl than do housework, which would yield them twice as much money. There is entirely too much false pride among the young women of the country. They imagine doing housework if a disgrace. They forget the honest tod of their mothers. In many instances mothers aro to blame, of courso. They dont want to see the delicate hands of their daughters soiled. They don't want them to be drudges In any family, for f:-ar their chances for suitable inairiagcs will be lessened. All that is and ]xrnidous teaching. The ability to housework as it should be done should bo aim nnd object of every young woman, Hob or ]K)or. But as long as this false idea

r"s»f

tho humiliation of doing housework exists, „Jk» long will young women rather work and '^irve at doing something else. With the

L-nt custom of abstaining from housefork, the dearth of suitable help in the Dusehold lias become an alarming anuoyjpneo. Wo find it almost impossible to get **ny well trained help. Families arc giving up housekeeping and going to boarding.

There aro too many 'ladies' with beautiful

htiT"'" "They want to lie (uught tho dignity of st labor. Thoy want to be informed that houjr est young mechanics want wives who can keep house. They want to know that sewing girls aro not wanted for housewives, and the *^vnntlro community must know, sooner or later, that the great underlying cause for so inueli unhappiness in the home circle, not to e%y ioverty, distress and absolute crime, is fuel, that young women who marry know liing of housekeeping. Their mothers are rving of the most severe (xinr :v for this, connivu with their daughters* to deceive prosjx'ctivo htubands, and when the young women Income wives thev disap[oiiit their husbands, homo liecoines mockery, the inoomo of the hiifOund is rittered away,nothing fasaved ami chaos comes into that home circle.

I have tio pity for young women who starve lifty rent* a day nnd who must 'board' nselves. If they would shake ofT their pride, think less of tho fine texture of eir hands, leave the mill and factory, drop needle and vacate the garret, and take respectable housework, they would bo far fetter oft. Such young women can solve this whole problem themselves. I "Tho supply of housework girls is drained, 103 the supply of needle girls with beautiful

Jiands is flooded, Both must be adjusted, *ad jioverty among women will disapiiear, but false pride must lead the way. The best Women in the land do housework of some and no hornet girl need be ashamed of thai soil of employment. On tho contrary, should Iks proud of it, Ixhtiuso every ble man will think the more of a young man if ho is told that she is doing housefor a living and thus being correctly ooled for the practical responsibilities of led life. Then, if she Is well married' dixn not, need to do housework, she will JfcnOw how it ought to lo done and her lielp fteunnot deceive her. She will be indcjiendent totd thoroughly capable to can for herself.

Therefore, to sum up. 1 would advise sewiug women (o drop the needle and take up house•Irork.'' .New York Sun.

fGood Health nnd Physical lleauty. Hie handsomest womau I ever saw was

i«tt

who took great care of her health. When knew her she was over 30, but no girl of 10 ut, I have ever seen had rosier cheeks or igniter

eyes:.

()f course she was naturally

le looking, but the attention she gave to nt|Urs of hygiene added to and preserved fir beauty. What did she do? I don't know iat- caii recount all, but I remember her Uipg mo site took a sponge l»th every jDrning was particular about the ventilajKr of her apartments took long walks Sen she could ate but little moat, much 4iit and ecreals whenever sho could get |env" Another thing she did which she without success to get me to do, she 4tk her coffee without milk or cream, III tod with water.

Ntd reason she took her coffee so was beher physicians told her it was healthier Jrink it in this way. Whether the pracaddict to lier personal charms or not I jit know. On the whole she was certainly id for her systematic habits, nnd as cerjv then.* was nothing arduous about the inance of them. Nor was there any biaanv altout them as, it seems to me, is about the following account I read

IChicn&o belle: keep the suppleness of her figure she one hour daily, fifteen minute at a with her hands on her hip* before a mirror, and landing her knees out from oilier she sinks slowly down to the floor was {xwsible, then as slowly uprising, itima moving her arms in any direction fir utmost ieugth, out or up, forward or until when she stands ervvt they aro to bo placed on her hips agui.i.

are all in couples, and form along procession oronnd the entire quilt, marching toward ti» ark. Hornet imea the procession is curved so as to form a design over the entire sarf*c% bnt this depends on individual taste or fancy. One can ask her friends and neighbors to work the pairs of animals, usually giving them some choice in the matter. Some of these quilts aro very amusing and really worth keeping.

At a recent starting of one a lady volunteered to work two fleas, which she actually did with wonderful care and dexterity. In cream sheeting the animals may be all in red turkey quill, worked with red ingrained thread or in various colors. This may be an idea of many busy fingers. The baby's crawling blanket or cot coverlids probably gave the idea of the Noah's ark quilt and also suggested the same style of perambulator cover. The animals are generally cut in paper first «nd then in whatever material they are to be worked, and are copied from a child's colored picture book. Scraps of fur and skin are used to represent the specimen as true to nature as possible. It is occasionally worked on a foundation of double width diagonal serge, with the various animals portrayed in wool*, sometimes in cross stitch, first worked on pieces of ordinary canvas, afterwards drawn away or in outline stitch, in crewels or in another stitch, which is being now used a good deal for traveling rugs, bath blankets, etc., which is done by laying wool in strands on the outline pattern and tacking it down by small stitches of silk or a contrasting color. In two shades of color this works well and the edges are usually widely buttonholed in both shades.—Mrs. Lucia Ludwig in Detroit Free Press.

The Era of Woman.

The present is pre-eminently the era o£ woman. Tho vast progress made by the sex toward a higher physical and intellectual plane is exerting its effect -upon body and mind to produce that species of development which we term beauty. This evolution will go on until it reaches a climax, when deterioration will commence. Women have for ages been under restraint, like plants kept where there is deficient sunlight. The growing tendencies toward emancipation remove the physical restraint and illumine the intellectual atmosphere, and so improvement goes on, but finally there will come a time when there will be too much sunshine, and an excess of growth without the pruning car training which aro necessary to maintain perfect development.

Then the deterioration will commence. Women will become in strength, energy and physical prowess more like men, and, alas! inoro like men in morals, while the men will grow correspondingly effeminate and physic ally feeble. This will simply be the result of excessive luxury, the swing of the pendulum to the extreme of civilisation in.contrast to its starting point in savagery. But it will be lougtiine beforo the ultimate limit of social revolution can be reached, and we will venture to prophesy that tho American women of the Twentieth century will reach a physical and intellectual perfection that will make them the most beautiful in the world, goddesses indeed in stature and in intellectuality.—New Orleans Picayune.

Something About "Made" Dishes. & "It's all very well to talk of made dishlfc/1 broke out a woman ono day in a council of housekeepers, "but what is ouo going to do if her family won't touch them? Now there's uiy husband he wont eat hashes or stews or made overs of any kind. He always wants steaks or chops or veal cutlets for his breaklast, and the boys are just liko him. If I were to put a scallop on the table he'd call it baked hush or boarding hout» fare, and it would be just the same with croquettes or anything else of tho kind. He says he wants something solid for his meals."

Undoubtedly many women linvo to battlo with, this sort of opposition in their endeavors to'raise the standard of cookery in their homes. Still thore are many men. who relish made dishes, and thero aro others who can be brought to do so by a little innocent diplomacy. It is not worth while to advertise by blowing trumpets beforo it that the ragout or pate that presents wtch an attractive appoarance is composed of scraps from yesterday^ roast, the gravy made of the bones nnd a littlo boiled rice or macaroni. It would lie no gratification to most men to know that the whole dish cost just thirtyseven and a half cents. With the woman, on the other hand, the knowledge of the fact causes her to thrill with mild exultation and imparts a flavor to the food that would be quite missing in a meal that was three times as expensive,—Christine Terhune Herrick in Harper's Basar.

A Fat Woman's Complaint. "There is a fortune for anybody who will start a 'Fat Woman's Journal,'" said a woman who weighed more than 1300 pounds "or if you want to be more euphemistic and euphonious, a fashion magaxtae and christen it 'A la Jolie Kmbonpointe.' In this there shouldn't be a fashion or a fashion plato that did not pertain to a woman weighing at, least 173 pounds—and upward, as they say in the cheap stores. At present yon oan't find a fashion plate that does not represent a slender, long waisted woman. For this sylph everything Is designed—gowns, wraps, bonnets. It is impossible to find anything intended for large women. Apparently nobody gives us any consideration, And wp clothe ourselves, as it wero, by faith. "It is absurd," continued tho lady, "for tho fact is wall established that American women have lost tho approach of scrawniness. Co where yon will, at least among the leisure classes, and yon will find the largo proportion of womoa broad shouldered, well developed and a gonerous overflow of figure. A:h1 we are worth considering. There is a fortune in avoirdupois for whoever far enough cighted to perceive it. Send out the prospectus4A la Jolie Embonpoints or tho 'Fat Woman's Journal' and see how quickly we will rally t# its support^ from every part of the land."— New York Svening San. ... 'rv

Themselves to Blame.

For many of the of mankind women have themselves to blame. First, for their viciousnes and coarseness, women being either too ignorant or too cowardly to exact from men the same standard of virtue which men expect from them. Secondly, for their tyranny, because the Ira and customs of many generations have placed women far too much in the power of men, and even were it not so their own warm affections make them too easy slaves. Thirdly, for the selfishness which—doubtless with righteous reasonis so deeply implanted in the masculine breast that a thoroughly unselfish man is almost a lusus naturse. And no wonder, since from his cradle his womenkind have adored him. Mothers, nurses, sisters all join in sweet flattery, the perpetual acquiescence, which makes him as boy and man think far too much of himself.

Then, perhaps, comes a period of innocent tyranny from his sweetheart, which he soon repays by tyrannizing over his wife. Thus, except that brief season when love has Struck the chord of self, which, trembling, passed in music oat of sight, there is for ttje ordinary man—I do not say the ideal man, or even the specially good man—no time in his life when he was not bolstered up in his only too natural egotism by the foolish subservience or adoring love servitude of the women about him.—Cornhill Magazine.

'.yt Education Tor Girls. "If I had a girl I would send her to college, but I have put my son at work in my office," said a prominent business man, himself a college graduate, the other day. "Why do you make such a distinction?" he was asked. "Because a girl needs the best education she can get in order to earn a living, while a boy is often as well, and sometimes better off, without. A woman physician can get into practice more easily than a man because there is yet so little competition. A woman teacher roust bp fit for a position in tho highest grade of school, if she isn't to starve.
