BUSINESS METHODS IN HOUSEWORK.

An Outline of the Plane Alone WitteU the Improvement May Tend.

The place women are taking in the business world Is to have a similar effect upon the

money

transactions in housekeeping.

Half of the women in active business life today, though they may be neither wives or mothers, ar3 the mainstay of homes.

To the business woman we must look to place oar system of housekeeping upon a businesslike foundation. The housemother must depend more upon outside help and also do more for herself.

To meet this condition of things the markets provide every year a greater supply of food already prepared for the table.

The cooking schools and the constant improvement in kitchen utensils are doing much to make housework attractive to intelligent women.

A hundred years ago the average American girl was ready to work in the house of her neighbor, upon an equal footing with his daughters, for fifty cents per week. Today the independent American woman cannot be a servant, subject to the direction of one who knows even less than she does how to cook or to keep house. She might be her own mistress and yet serve her neighbor.

Many a woman working hard for little money under many masters in other branches of business might resolve herself and friends into a working force, and supply wholesome, attractive food, to the community in which she lives.

On the other hand, each mnmber of the family must be trained to serve himself to a greater degree.

Thus the family circle could be kept from the uncomfortable atmosphere which often arises from the introduction of outside elements by their servants or relatives.

The near future will demand level headed, well trained business women to supply food to communities. The average baker Is not a success from a hygienic standpoint. Women's exchanges are as yet not possible in small towns, but there is no town of 1,000 inhabitants that would not give good support to a woman who was ready to supply wholesome, well cooked food at a fair profit.

Bone, muscle and brain depend upon the food. Educated brains must study the question of food supply, and arrange proper combinations of food for all conditions of maukind.

Girls who didn't like to study books have thought they might teach cookery. Women who have failed because of unsystematic work elsewhere have taken orders for cooking, and then railed at the partiality of women's exchanges. 1, The Now England kitchen, which was started as an experiment in Boston by some scientific women who had seen sim liar lontitutions abroad, has found a place for Itself, and demands come from all parts of the country for similar establishments.

The difficulty now is to find well balanced womon who will take the training necessary to conduct such a business properly.

Kvon with washing, ironing and sewing done outsldtf, there is much left for the house mother. But if she can buy soups, salAds, desserts and bread, the remaining burden of the housekeeping will be lighter than if sho strives to direct a servant to do these things for her.

Aro there not women who have had a business training who can undertake this missionary work for their sistersN-Anna Barrows in Homemaker. -i

Self Supporting.

It is pleasant and hopoful to note that 60 many of the young women of America are leanilug to valuo the mental powers and tho education that will make it possible for them to support themselves if the necessity for doiug so should arise. Tho daughters of comparatively wealthy meu are not infrequently found assisting their fathers In tho offlco or counting room as typewriters or accountants*

Many so called fashionable ladies make their own dresses and hats, we are told, havlftg gone through a regular course of Instruction in tho art of millinery and dressmaking. An ins tan co recently came to the notice of tho writer that has in it a lemon for women who give no thought to the state of dependence to which they would bo reduced if their parents or husbands should die, leaving them unprovided for.

A lady who had a beautiful home and three little children, and whose husband was supposed to be comparatively wealthy, one day found herself a widow and almost penniless, her husband having been en* gngeO in unfortunate speculations just before his death.

The ladies' friends were profuse in their offers of sympathy, while wondering ••what in tho world she would do now."

She knew just what she would do. Within a month $ho had opened a millinery establishment that at once became very popular aud profitable, for the bonnets she had worn in the past had been inch models of elegance that her fashionable friends were glad to take advantage of her good taste. They never dreamed that she had made those bonnets herself, nor did they know tlrat she had privately given herself a very good business edaoa-

the

Home.

The London Queen speaks with some interest of the general introduction of electrical lights in homes, but draws attention to that singular affliction somewhat similar to a sunstroke which has been known to be produced by a powerful electric light. This, however, is only one reason why electricity is not desirable in the home. The chief objection to it lies in the nature of the light itself. It is too glaring, and all

objections that are urged against gas may be urged against it in the home.

Electric light is even more unbecoming than gas light, bringing out the defects of the complexion with unerring precision, while gems pale before it. No light is more beautiful or more softening to the complexion than candle light, and where it is necessary to have stronger light for reading our fine improved lamps have completely solved the problem. Gas should be relegated to halls and places where beauty of effect is secondary to mere utility. It is a great mistake to Introduce into our home life any more mechanical contrivances than are essential to comfort. —New York Tribune.

Old Fashioned Codfish Pie.

The codfish pie of our grandmothers makes a famous dish. Here is an old recipe for it by a Connecticut lady: Line a deep baking dish with good pie crust, or with a good soda biscuit crust, made in the following manner: Sift together four cups of flour, one heaping teaspoonful of soda and two of cream tartar (or three heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder) and one teaspoonful of salt. Bub in one-half cupful of shortening. Add milk enough to make a medium soft dough—about a pint. Some flour takes more than others. For the upper crust spread butter on twice, and fold and roll out. Cut out a round piece in the center.

Take a pint of picked up salt codfish, cover with boiling water, let it stand two minutes, drain, pour on more water, let stand and drain dry put a layer of this codfish in the dish which has been lined with the crust, sprinkle with bread crumbs, pepper and a little salt if the fish is very fresh put on bits of butter and some cream sauce which has been made by thickening one pint of boiling milk with two teaspoonfuls of flour, and seasonwith salt and pepper break in three or four eggs, according to the size of the dish, piercing the yolks repeat the codfish, bread crumbs, cream sauce and eggs put on the top crust and bake a delicate brown. -American Angler.

Plain Windows Are Fashionable.

The blue glass craze had its day and its use. It disfigured many a house, but it marked a new era. Up to its advent womankind who could afford the luxury sat in twilight gloom spoiling their pretty eyes over "decorative art" in all its phases. When, therefore, it came to pass that fashion deqteed a daily penance of four or five hours under the influence of the sun filtered through this melancholy color, despite herself the victim really got a good deal of natural warmth and light at second hand. Even at such a disadvantage the fad proved a wonderful rejuvenator, appearing as it did when the race of vigorous American women seemed threatened with extinction. Things are better now. Sunlight is prescribed by the canons of "society." The housewife cares less to preserve the colors of carpet and rug than that her house Bhould bebMghtandcheeyy. Schools are beginning to reckon sunshine among their advantages. Churches no longer ^regard a "dim, religious light" essential to devout framo of mind. Railways provide observation cars for their patrons. Let us hope that the window, pure and simple* has come to stay, and be duly thankful.—Chicago Heraldi

The Woman Who Knows It All.

The "intellectual woman," who is so well informed aud is so, anxious to hare you know it, reminds me of a leek—useful, but tear starting. She has thought on every subject under and over the sun, and has formed her convictions on all matters, and tho instant you broach a subject she hastens to assure you that she knows all about it She sometimes possesses handsomo features, but her too active intellect has sharpened them and hewed away the curves of beauty. She is inclined to drest severely, and to wear very dignified bonnets.

She thinks out her answers a sentence ahead of your remarks, and waits for you to finish, with mere tolerance. Her women friends speak of her with great respect as "such an intelligent person," and the clergyman of her faith is the ouly man who ever bestows any voluntary attention upon her. Her husband considers her a remarkably intelligent woman—but he is given to dining at the club a great deal, and meekly acknowledges that he cannot hold a candle to his wife in brain.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Ladles' Home Journal.

Walking and Dancing.

If a part of the time spent by young women in the drawing room wcTtf devoted to outdoor recreation there would be a marked Improvement in their health and general appearance. There would be roses in their cheeks and vigor in their step, instead of shallowness and listlesaness. With health comes beauty of face and form as well as sweetness of disposition.

Social dissipation is the bane of woman's life. A week'* vital force is wasted in one night of ballroom excitement and woman, unlike her stnrtiier brother, denies herself tho means of recuperation afforded by contact with sun and air. Hence she agns fast.

Some curious persons, with the aid of a pedometer, has ascertained that the distance traversed during an evening of twenty-two d*aces is thirteen and oae-half miles, and this, too, in afoul atmosphere! If the average girl were asked to take a walk of anything like this distance she would treat the proportion as among the impc^bUittcs.---3teorge Simmons in Washington Star.

whose work necessarily must badly s&it bedclothing—else she, too, might have adopted this way.

I buy yard vrtde, heavy, firm sheeting, of medium firmness, believing it wears better than the coarse. I lay the selvedges of the long seam together, overlapping them nearly one-fourth inch, or sufficient to machine stitch each. edge. .This makes two gHtr»hinga lengthwise of the sheet, forming a smooth, flat seam, which does not break and rip with wear, as one stitching is very apt to do. Pillowslips I overlap and make in the same way, machine hemming all ends and hems.—Clarissa Potter in Good Housekeeping. ............... .. ..

Neatness In

Neatness is a good thing for a girl, and if she does not learn it when she is young she never will. It takes a great deal more to make a girl look well than it does to make a boy look passable. Not because a boy, to start with, is better looking than a girl, but his clothes are of a different sort, not so many colors in them, and people don't expect a boy to look so pretty as a girl.

A girl that is not neatly dressed is called a sloven, and no one likes to look at her. Her face may be pretty and her eyes bright, but if there is a spot of dirt on her cheek, and her finger ends are black with ink, and her shoes are not laced or buttoned up, and her apron is dirty, and her collar is not buttoned, and her skirt is torn, she cannot be liked. Learn to be neat, and when you have learned it it will almost take care of itself.—Christian at Work.

Proof That Men Notice Women's Dress.

There is no doubt about it that the old idea that nothing escapes the eye of the poet is true, for Petrarch noted the tender green and the glowing pile of the velvet gown that Laura wore, as well as the great bunch of purple violets at her throat, at her waist and in the hand of the gentle lady. Tennyson lingers lovingly over the fairness of Elaine in her shabby gown, Swinburne tells of a beauty in a scarlet hood, Rossetti delights in describing full, soft folds of white, and Owen Meredith tells of a shimmering of silk worn by the women who lived in his poems as well as in his life. This is just a little sermon to remind womankind that men do notice what they wear, and that when these men are poets they write about it. So, after all, it is worth while to dress for mankind. —Exchange.

Miss Phllpott's Iiong Hair.

The longest suit of hair in the world is perhaps that which grows on the head of Miss Asenath Philpott, of Gainesville, Tex. hers trailing on the ground when she stands nearly four feet, and measuring in all 10 feet and 7 inches. Miss Philpott is a slight, delicate woman, approaching middle age, and regards her magnificent tresses as rather a nuisance, complaining that their weight actually drains her strength. The present growth is of the past seven years, as in 1884 her head was shaved afte' a severe attack of brain fever. She cuts out from time to time large quantities of her hair and sends it east, where it has ready sale on account of its gloss and its greatly admired red gold tint.—Boston flecord.

A Pleasant Fumigator.

A cheap und pleasant fumigator for sick rooms, one diffusing a healthful, agreeable and highly penetrating disinfectant odor in close apartments, or wherever the air has deterio- ated, is made as follows: Pour common vi aegar on powdered chalk until effervescence ceases. Leave the whole to settle, and pour off the liquid. DrjTtne sediment and place in a shallow earthen or glass dish, and pour upon it sulphuric acid until white fumes commence to arise. This vapor quickly spreads, is very agreeably pungent, and acts as a powerful purifier of vitiated air.—Detroit Free Press.

Women in the English Postoffloe.

There are now nearly 700 lady clerks employed at the general postofflce in receipt of salaries ranging from £65 to £150 or £170 per annum. Of course by for the larger proportion is to be found in the second class, where there are over 550 at a salary beginning at £65 and rising by annual increments of £3 to £80. In the first class division there are about eighty-seven clerks, tho maxioium salary being £110, vfhile principal clerks, of whom tnere are about twenty, can rise to £170 a year.—London Tit-Bits.

More than half a million of enthusiastic Women are united in philanthropic, intellectual and co-operate work for tho advancement of the Interests and privileges of womanhood in the great national associations incorporated under the niames of the National Woman's Christian association, National Suffrage Association, National Centenary Association of the TJniversalist church, the Wimodaughsis, the King's Daughters and the Association of Working Girls' societies.

A troublesome cough may bo relieved by a sirup of onions made by slicing raw onions into a bowl in alternate layers with white sugar. Cover and set in the oven until the juice is extracted but to avoid waste squeeze onions, sirup and all through a strong cloth until no more juice is to be had. Give this sirup at intervals, and there is no danger of giving too much, for it will do no harm.

.CHILDREN'S SUMMER DRESSES^#'

Quaintly Pretty Costumes Tor Weddlnjj. Seaside, Church and Everyday Wear.

Some of the prettiest frocks made for children lately have been copied from Kate Greenaway pictures. A qOaint dress of pink muslin, with pattern Of colored sprigs, designed for a tiny girl to wear as a bridesmaid, is showa in the illustratiou at Fig. 1.

A

frill trims the edge of the skirt and the short waisted bodice is ornamented with a crossover made of the same material as the dress. The hat is of drawn muslin trimmed with feathers. This costume would suit an artistic child with pretty hair and a nice complexion.

CHILDREN'S COSTUMES.

A serviceable dress for 1 girl of fourteen or fifteen to wear at the seaside is shown in Big. 2. It is of blue serge—and the smartly cut jacket is worn over a cotton blouse. The skirt and the jacket are.both outlined with rows of narrow braid. The costume worn by the young lady in Fig. S is made of some soft woolen fabric in French gray, and the cape is lined with silk in a delicate shade of pink and bordered with a frill. When a slight breeze causes the corner of the cape to ttirn back one catches a glimpse of the pretty interior. The Tam o' Shanter hat is made of.the dress material, and has a fluted brim lined with pink. This would do nicely for a Sun-day-go-to-meeting dress.

CHILDREN'S COSTUMES.

The little dress in the fourth sketoh is of blue zephyr. It is daintily trimmed with hand embroidery and worn over a blouse of Turkey red, which is visible only at the neck and wrists.

In a pretty summer frock of white embroidered muslin, like that of Fig. 7, the sleeves are smocked with light blue in the middle and at the wrists, and a silk sash of the same color is tied loosely about the waist. The hat is made of muslin, with Bhady brim gathered all around.

The small boy and girl at Figs. 5 and 0 are ready to start for a wedding. The little girl looks bewitching in her mobcap and short waisted silk frock. She has a basket of pink roses in one hand and the other is clasped in the right hand of her companion, whose costume is of white serge, with a frill around the neck for trimming.

Tennis Suits for Meu and'Boy*.

For tennis and country wear are white serges and twilled English flannels with white ground, on which are woven narrow colored stripes, or else white silk stripes. These are used for the entire suit—jacket, shirt, long trousers and cap—in preference to tho more showy materials formerly worn. The tenuis shirt has a plain front with a siugle box plait. The jacket or blazer is now cut in a straight sack, similar in shape to the Tuxedo coat of last year. Wide trousers with a welt in the sides are part of this suit. The cap, of the same material, is like the yuchtingcap with a visor, and even the visor is covered with the serge or flannel

Silk belts leather belts, ooze leather caps and foulard silk caps are the novelties for tennis players. A russet leather belt an inch and a half to two inches in width will he worn with tennis suits of any color. Silk belts four inches wide are in stripes, a plain color or black, and are fastened by little buckles with straps. Few sashes are sold, those of black being still best liked. A yachting cap, to be worn nlBO in tennis courts, is of blue foulard dotted with white, another is of white twilled silk barred with black, and a third of white flannel or serge. The ooze leather caps match the belt in color. Laced Bhoes of white canvas and russet leather complete the tennis suit.—Harper's

Bazar.

Novelties In Parasols.

The new parasols are truly wonderfuL One of the newest is quite a novel departure, the outside surface presenting very much the aspect of sea waves. The one rib raised, the alternate rib depressed. Specimens seen were made in coffee colored silk lace, or in black or white lace or of chiffon. This white silk lace, fringed with grass, is to be a feature in fete parasols, and in lieu of ordinary fringe, silk is cut up Into strips and introduced as trimming. Silk cord is applied to the edge of some of the new parasols, and a tassel encircles the handle, starting from a species of fluffy silk ruch^, which looks like feathers. Frills of chiffon, embroidered in colored flowers, cover some of the new kinds, especially the double squares it remains to be proved if they will find favor. ,,

Ajnew silk aud ribbon embroidery in relief is also used In the adornment of parasols, and many plain silka *tew *pots ot metallic gold, while some are edged with mid braid. Some of the sticks imported from Japan ate richly carvedtn many fantastic patterns. The natural wood sticks have artificial poppies, acorns, cornflowers, wild roses or sweet pom introduced into tlia cleft of the stick. Entoutcas are more S^rSyusrful than any other kind the aro a moderate length shot eiIks an used and a great deal of cornflower blue.

Js» f»r tlio llumloir. Library and Dinner Table.

Elsie Bee tells in The Jewelers' Circular of many taking novelties in silverware: among them he following:

Traj's of all sizes and shapes meet the present fad for setting handsome glass pieces on a silver receiver.

Silver bowls are employed for a variety of purposes, as for salads, fruits, cracked ice and desserts.

A handsome Wedgwood bottle mounted in silver and set in a circular silver tray, elaborately crrved, furnishes a unique inkstand for a library.

There are some dinner tables at which the guests powder their sauce from a silver nutmeg grater, and relieve olives of their pits with a silver olive corer.

The tendency is again for gold linings in silver caps, bowls, cream jugs and the like. A novelty in individual salts are canoe shaped ones, with tiuy silver paddles for spoons.

For bedrooms and boudoir there are silver fluted twisted candlesticks with carved stand arils.

Scissors with silver handles that fold over and protect the sharp points are made for carrying in one's pocket.

Jewel boxes of rock crystal mounted in silver are counted amoug other high art articles that find a place in tho boudoir.

Silver powder boxes beautifully chased and decorated with medallion portraits of historical persons are greatly admired

How to Do Up Cretonne Draperies

Large cretonne draperies, such as curtains and furniture covers, should be sent, If possible, to a cleaner, but if it is necessary to do them at home, they may be washed thus: Cut up some soap in small pieces into a basin, and fill up with boiling water leave this until it is in a jelly. When ready to wash the cretonne, put this jelly in a tub with plenty of boiling water, and let it become lukewarm. Then wash the articles thoroughly in it. When the dirt is out rinse the cretonne in a tub of clean water with a little blue and some salt. If very much soiled it may be necessary to put it through two tubs of soap and water. Roll the cretonne in an old blanket and squeeze out tho water pull the stuff into shape and hang it up to dry. This method comes from a practical source, but it must be remembered that it is wiser to send valuable curtains, etc., to a cleaner's. However, this plan is a safe one to try for small and unimportant articles.

The cover of this ornamental cushion is in white embroidery with lace edging, over a gay colored foundation.

Put the contents of a pound box of concentrated lye into a stone vessel and pour three pints qt cold water into it stir with a stick until it dissolves and becomes boiling hot then let it cool till lukewarm. In the meant'me, melt the fat, and when both lye and grease arc barely lukewarm, pour a tiny stream of lye into the fat, stirring briskly, otherwise It will not form soap. In thirty to forty minutes it becomes thick, like honey. Then pour into a wet vessel and next day cut into bars ,'
