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.

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

clety that Is waging war on tuberculo

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

cupboard Into which one must put a

HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

ARCH Is aa Important month , for
the housewife. It la a time for

The average girl, however, with Inex
pensive and simple chains and rinw,

distinctly disastrous, especially where
imitation gems or natural crystals and
other stones are concerned.

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

Diamonds, sapphires, rubles and emer

Turquoises must on no account be
touched with water or kept In a damp

fatal to pearls, whether real or Imita

lost their luster a method of treating
them is that of laying them to soak for
a few days In strong brine and water,

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

St It It
To Select Poultry.
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.

Originality.
RIGINAu thought Is a prize to be
striven for and coaxed Into being.
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. Some time, now or later on,
there will be opportunity to benefit the
world thereby. And the child that shows
no originality la to be trained in sueh

Write Out the family meals for a past
week and study them. Has there been
enough nutrition in them? Have dishes
that merely taste good been In the as
cendant? Has there been enough frultT
Have the aisnes oeen too highly sea
soned and thus made too stimulating?
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.
We recognise quiokly that a working
man needs good solid food. The pupil
Is a worker, too. and rennlraa tnnA
