THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAt, PORTLAND, SATURDAY ' EVENING. MARCH 21, 1903. -' 1 : I : For the Home Girl. A LINE of occupation that It la not A at all over crowded, and which offers a girl, la not an Immediate fortune, at leaat the opportunity of adding a comfortable aum acb month to her Income, la that of the home milliner and mender. A woman who haa been accuatomed trimming her own hata and of freahen In up, washing and Ironing and other Jflss addlpg to the length of days. of "t own j oancing irocas ana best dresses can easily make her talents and ier experience 01 use 10 ner rrienda. Such a Derson would be of trait aa. statance to the woman whose time Is largely occupied with charitable or so cial duties, and who has neither the xnacic nor the time to give to remodel Irig her own wardrobe. And the bust I reus woman Who Bees the mumlln. an. Itumulate while she Is prevented from vtH v h auu wim una pui iwtj auwna oecause uiey need some little at' tentlon that she has not time to give, would gladly welcome the opportunity of engaging a deft and willing worker In these lines. The girl who would do this sort of work must first of all not be too proud to let her frlenda know that she Is willing to do the work and mat sne wants their good word In get ting other customers. And then she must be adept at this line of work, filyi must understand all about darns ana patches, putting braid on a worn SKirt, and cleaning an evening - waist ir she can add to these accompllah- nisnia irje menaing ana wssning or rare ana Keens up with tne styles aur flclently to know how a garment can be brought up to date by changes In sleeves or waistline her usefulness will be further Increased. The home milliner Is almost certain to obtain employment. She must have not only a sense of color and of fitness, so that she can give her patrons advice that Is reliable as to lines and colors that are becoming, but she must know the details of the craft. She must know how to cover frames, how to bind edges, how to make dainty bows and how to sew trimming so that it will stay on. No amount of cleverness In placing 1 1 iiiiii in k ana u prelims; quprjc errens win compensate ror poor workmanship. If the girl milliner wants her old cus tomers to keep coming she must give thpm workmanlike work. Bhe must charge a uniform price $1 or $1.50 a day would be a fair price for a begin ner, and she should when she Increases her price, do so uniformly. An honest dav's work for a day's pay Is not humiliating- to eny girl. Let the girl who know she hns talent In these lines of work call good sense to her aid. and be gin. 8he cannot expect to get work If she does not advertise A good way to do that Is to have neat cards printed which she- can mull to her friends. Let them know that she Is In earnest, and then let her add to her name by dolnr each dav's work to the best of her abilities. . The work will come If she has per- ' aistence. s? A Beauty Seeker. DEAR MADAME Would you please let me know a good way to cure blushing? ANXIOUS NO. 5. Dear Madame Would you please let me know a good hair tonic to make the hair curly. MAUD II. Dear Mademoiselle, you are quite needlessly distressing yourself. With years will come the greater self-posses sion, so that the Ingenuous flush of color In the checks which is so pretty and youthful win pass, when you are some years older you will wish to re call that girlish habit of blushing which now annoys you. To think of others rather than of yourself la the only way in which you can attain great er self-conflnVnce so that you will not blush so easily. As to the hair tonic, I fear you ask the impossible. There are some gummy stuffs, like the Chinese bandoline. which will keep the hair In position i clety that Is waging war on tuberculo sis. Mrs. Nancy Rosa Is the eldest of tha It women who keep lighthouses for uncie earn, one nas naa cnarge or ine lighthouse at Stony Point, Hudson river, for nearly 60 years. ' But though Mrs. Rose Is tha oldest, Ida Lewis la the most famous of women lighthouse Keepers. Bhe haa aaved 13 Uvea, ine women employed In tha lighthouse serv lea are for tha moat part the wldowa or daughters or former keepers, ana though the responsibilities of their po sition are greatp they generally prove very efficient. Mrs. Humphrey Ward la expected to arrive In America this month. She will be tha guest of her nleoe, Mrs. Whlt rldae of New York. Mrs. Ward la tha president of tha Society of Woman Journalists In England. Her views on the woman Question are eccentric. She waa a warm advocate of the bill paaaed by parliament last year making women eligible aa mayors, aldermen and town or county councillors, and she thinks it Is as natural for women to exercise mu nicipal suffrage aa to breathe, but she Is opposed to the parliamentary vote for women. She and Marie Corelll are said to be the only English literary women of prominence who are ."antls." at K K Fads and Fashions. By Florence Fairbanks. EW YORK. March 21. Spring days will aoon call for the new dress. ult or costume and all their ac cessories . that have been prepared for the warmer days, One smart tailored ault Is quite necessary If only one cos tume can be bought at first. Evening frocks can often be remodeled and made to last a few months longer, but the tailored costume has so many decided changes from last year that they will be too noticeame ror wen-aressea wom en to wear again.

Tile position la classed aa a civil ap pointment, suDjeci 10 a competitive ex amination, and carries with It a salary of ISO a month. Mrs. Tucker has five cmidren. A aearcher for the picturesque will find It at Fort Foote. Dismantled guns, Jungle-hidden gun carriages, decaying Duuainga, irva-grown earthworks, weedy graves and grim relics of war Are there. Fort Foote waa abandoned because after the development of the high power gun It waa oonatdered too close to Washington to be of use In the de fense of the federal city, the protection of which Is now committed to Fort Washington. Maryland, and Fort Hunt, Virginia, eight miles farther down the rotomao river. K It K . Red Cheeks Without Rouge. F you want to look very pretty and have red cheeks for a dance, you can do this, aays the Delineator. Rub cold cream Into the face, alwaya with an upward, rotary movement. Wipe that oft rub in more and wipe It off again. Then waah the face with hot water. Then daah cold water over It I and dry It thoroughly with a soft towel. TO add the final touch take n small piece or ice, cover wun a towel and rub gentl three or four times over the oheek bones. - This alves a color whinh win last ror noura ana is really a mild form of a Turkish bath for the fact Many ladles before going to a dinner use leather sponges, then not water, and dry thoroughly.

NE woman suggests a plan to aid mother In the back-breaking and perpetual task, of picking up. "We have two pounda in our house," she saya, "for misplaced articles. One Is an unused closet on the first floor; the other Is on the second floor. In these cupboards the members of the family ntay put anything that they find Ivlna around. There is a child's bank in each cupboard Into which one must put a cent before he can claim his property. The money may be used to get some little thing for the house." Wide Ribbons Are Worn. ELVET brocade ribbon fully 18 Inches deep is used on dressv gowns, both high snd low necked. It Is draped about the waist In surplice or In cross-over style, overhangs the leeves In kimono effect, and Is carried down to a point Just above the waistline the back. Here HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS Work for March. Br Sarah E. Wilcox. ARCH Is aa Important month , for the housewife. It la a time for looking forward, a time for prep aration for the mora strenuous work of the coming season. Many thfnga may be done now which will relieve the stress and strain which are moat cer tain to be tha portion of the woman who la her own cook, aeamstrtsa and maid of all work. The fruit canning aeason opens with strawberries the last of May or early In June. Make ready, straighten the edge of oan covera and adjust them with the rubber rlnga to the empty cans. It Is neither economical nor tidy to keep cereals, tapioca, macaroni or rlca In the original packagea in warm weath er. They are liable to the attack of In sects. Make ready for use and atore In cracked or Imperfect cans (every nousewire naa some). Then one can see at a alance when wanted. I have Just finished looking over beans for ine summers supply. The array or black.' kidney, navy, cranlx-rrv. lima and dried green llnias Is very gratify Ing. Keep rice. linker, starch, soda spices. etc.. In tin rather than In wood or earth enware. Small-alsed lard palls are good for this purpose. Paint them, and ap ply ine isDeis wnue tne paint is areen. and they will adhere permanently, or paint a apace large enough for the la- Deis and apply them. The array of bottles In the average household is rather formidable; for they wui accumulate, and unless pre viously assorted, will consume valuable time at bousecleanlng. Threw away the contents of every bottle or packs ae that Is not labeled, or If you are not positively sure what It contalna. The advantage of having theae things done was empnaaised in tne case or a aud den and violent attack of sickness. which made it necessary for strangers to take the helm. There was no result ing confusion, no running to master or mistress "Whore shall I find this or that? What Is this?

Assemble the little of everything that Is past wearing. Sort into patches. andages. carpet rags. etc. Fill a box with old cotton and woolen cloths to be hvh at house-cleunlng, not forgetting short-handled moo. so that baso boards and bottoms of doors and cup boards can be cleaned without stooping a step-ladder to wash window cas- in i i n i riA miinf) rnr inn mnriiv i j" . ...

The Long Armhole and Plaited Bodice Are New Features. sleeve w tailored coat will be Immensely populur with the many gored skirt and flaring hem. The coat has a standing collar and the sleeve Is cut In one with the coat. These are seml-flttlng, reaching Just below the lne of hips where is a de cided flare. The skirts, to make them flare more, have narrow sections set In between the gores from tho hem to the knee. They are much longer than in past seasons, the most of them Just clearing the ground. Braid and buttons have taken the place of the stitched fold. after It Is curled on pins or kids, but these are not used by dainty women. A loose wave Is now much preferred to a tight curl In the hair, and even the stralghtest hair can be dressed becom ingly. Among; the best people It is more and more the mode to be natural, simple, unaffected In dress. In manners nnd In speech. If your Jialr Is quite straight Keep it wen brushed ami tended, and It will have a natural sheen and gloss which is much prettier than an artificial curl. Dress It as becomes your face. In loose smooth rolls, or wsve It very sllehtlv and draw it back 4 from the face loosely, and you will be leased with the result. I hope this will aid you. Mile. tt H t Care of Jewels. ORTUNATELY owners of a well- fllled jewel casket are usually I ir A tit lha to fao and fabnnnul hllltles which such a possession entails u Tl . 1 no r I nil 1 f u 1 xrlaltu r , Vi n lAWalarfl where skilled'and expert knowledge can be brought to bear upon Its preservation are looked upon as a stern necessity. The average girl, however, with Inex pensive and simple chains and rinw, brooches sad bracelets Is far less in clined to trouble to any particular de gree about their care, the result being distinctly disastrous, especially where imitation gems or natural crystals and other stones are concerned. Gold Ornaments when plain or worked and unadorned with gems should be washed In warm soapsuds from time to time, excellent results "being obtained If a few drops of sal volatile are added to the hot water before making the FORT fill , all lather. In the case of chains composed of close links which are most apt to harbor dust and dirt, few remedies equal that of placing them to soak In a bottle half full of warm chalk. The chains ahould be left for a few hours, after which the bottle must be well shaken, the latter poured off, and the orna ments first rinsed in cold water and then dried aa thoroughly as possible. Diamonds, sapphires, rubles and emer alds are wonderfully restored If they are wastied periodically in a little sal volatile and water, the surface after wards being polished with a clean chamois leather or a soft piece of silk. Precious stones In general are usually improved ir tney are put away in oox wood sawdust instead of being enclosed in veivet-llned cases. Turquoises must on no account be touched with water or kept In a damp place, while oil or grease Is equally fatal to pearls, whether real or Imita tion. In cases where real pearls have lost their luster a method of treating them is that of laying them to soak for a few days In strong brine and water, many old authorities recommending, however, the curious baking treatment, the pearls being enclosed In a lump of dough and then baked In a slow oven. Jade ornaments soon lose their polish If they are neglected, and to remedy this few specifics eaual the application of a paate of chalk and water. Coral can be successfully cleaned by The separate coats of late winter and early spring are very much trimmed and their cut Is novel and smart. One collarless model was cutaway with a pointed back quite long and the side seams were let up to the waist line. The novel feature was the sleeve, which was tight-fitting with buttons and braid strapped across, running from the wrist to the collarbone. The usual sleeve shoulder seam was entirely con cealed. From the front seam of tha coat to the back seam the buttons and straps of braid were again used. This sleeve form Is a favorite one at pres ent. Where a skirt of striped goods is worn with a coat of nlaln rloih Hi skirt material Is often cut In narrow oanas ror a trimming on the coat. But tons are used extensively In following iront seams of coats, and in outlining panels of one-piece gowns; they may be placed at regular distances or ar ranged In groups. of the gown. K It It The Japanese Sleeve. THE Influence of the Japanese over sleeve is still apparent this season. It shows Itself in tho broad man darin band about the armhole, descend ing almost to the elbow on gowns, and forming the sleeves In dressv coats and wraps. The distinctly oriental lines are gradually changing Into classical ones, further emphasized by tassels, pendants and fringes. St St St RcNCiie Work In England.

IS very Important to health that the poultry should be fresh when bought says The Delineator. This condition can be Judged by the sweet smell and also by the absence of mois ture on the outside skin. The prlme ness of the flesh can generally be told by plumpness which shows Its elastic ity when it Is pressed. The end of the breast bone should bend easily. If the bone will not bend, the bird Is too old for roasting. The flesh of young- poultry Is of a pinxisn color and transparent texture. Turkeys are young when the legs are smooth and black, the spurs short, the skin finely grained, and when the toe joints break easily on being turned backward. They are fresh when the feet are pli able and in good condition; when tney are plump and wide across the chest, and heavy in proportion to their legs. The cock bird Is best suited for roast ing and the hen for boiling. Chickens are selected as turkeys are. Ducks and aeese are youns- when the bills and feet are yellow, and the skin fine and free from hairs; a coarse, hairy skin and red lega and bills denote old birds. ' It H K Good Recipes.

Originality is one of the most pre cious of faculties and is the distin guishing mark of the leaders all the world over, whether they be leaders In thought or In politics, or In business or in Invention as such. All have the In ventive faculty developed. In one way or another; It is the halAiark of their power and leadership. Tne rest follow the lead of their creations. So the child that shows the Imagina tion of the original thinker In any re spect is to be educated to express It to tne full.

Has the food been too rich to be readily digested? Has the sedentary pursuit of the school children been sufficiently considered? In far too many homes there is no appreciation of the fact that food Is a factor In nervous breakdowns in school. The boy or girl starts out for school with a scanty breakfast. There Is plenty or rooa, out it is not appetizing! It is too heavy; and long habit of not eating mveh at this meal has become crystalled. Then follows the luncheon, which if bought at a restaurant, either In the school building or otherwise, is too often made up of cakes and sweets. If, on the contrary, It Is taken from home, there Is little attention paid to It, and it rarely has in it that amount of nutrition which a pupil needs.

Any of the following dishes will be found hearty, very nutritious and not difficult of preparation. Macaroni. 1'laln Boiled urea a tne macaroni In plecea of suitable length. Have ready a kettle containing several quarts of salted water and boiling hard. urop in tne macaroni, wniri it wun a fork to separate, cover and stand over the hottest part of the fire, where-It will boll quickly. Aa It begins to boll It tends lo cook over; partly uncover and keep at a galloping boll until done. Once or twice stir with a fork. It will be tender In from 20 to 46 mlnUtea, ac cording to the slse and thickness of the sticks. Drain quickly and rinse under the cold water faucet for several mln- ntes. This removes the stickiness, to which many object It is now ready to be finished In any way. Enough may be cooked at once for several meala and it will keep nicely If Immersed in cold water until needed for use. Puttered Macaroni Drain some plain boiled macaroni.
