Women had the trifling tasks . of skinning the animals, preparing tne .: flesh for food, making garments out of the skins and caring for the babies, also those Incident upon moving the house hold when game grew scarce The man , undoubtedly carried the weapons of the chase a these were too valuable to be lightly handled, but the women carried the tents, and household goods and bablea and such trifles, meekly trudg ing In the footsteps of the lords and masters. - . It is considered a mark of civilization and world progress that women ore no longer employed for these 'purposes.

Not long since in this column I urged the adoption of a suit for housework that should leave her muscles free and relieve her body of undue strain. It will bespeak woman's strength of mind 1 and assure to her a mental poise and a condition of health that is not pos sible when she revises this present day garb, a dragging weight of clothes, upon a . body which Is seldom given freedom of action or play of muscles.

Fads and Fashions. w TEW TORK. June 20. This season is lI .. marked by its brilliant colors and sharp contrasts. It is lo longer considered smart for everything In a toi lette to match in color; instead, there may be a hat of new rose wjth a tailored suit of marine blue. Even the white oos tumes show a touch of color somewhere In their trimmings in the embroidery, the sash or scarf, or in the collar. White serge and mohair made in two piece suits, have a velvet collar of black, or some brilliant color, . - These suits are very fashionable for summer wear. Many frocks of St. Oall embroidered Swiss are worn aver lin ings of very delicate colors, with a san of pompadour ribbon as a finish ing touch. Two or more colors are often Introduced in the linen frocks, usually on the collar and cuffs. , The tailored shirtwaists of linen are ex tremely smart with the collar, cuffs and front box plait edged-wlth a plain color of) blue, pink or lavender. Some of them, have . these rarts made entirely of lavender and White narrow stripe and a half Inch border of plain lavender. The necktie or Jabot: match also. The sheath skirt is causing -"much comment and criticism at the present day, and yet there is a chance for some good words to be spoken about It Each new style originating In Parts gets to a stage of exaggeration sooner or later, and then very soon it Is toe generally worn to be really fashionable. The craze for the straight, sllrq figure was the reason the modiste fashioned this sheath skirt because the blpless Paquln model was not extreme enough. ; The long draperies, eopied from the ancient Greek and oriental ones were , soon brought into use and were swathed about J he figure in classlo lines, but It is really- hoped that , they will not be seen so generally in this country as they have been in Paris. . However, many or tne tneatre gowns worn bv the French women are the sheathlike clinging robes which fit the xigure J lice a giove ana seem to te rolled, rather than' fitted around the figure. These gowns are draped so that the left foot and ankle is quite uncov ered, sometimes six inches up, and ex tremes hsve made the slash come near up to the knee, but the American woman will be best satisfied if . this fashion ends with the showing of the Jiretty foot and ankle. The sheath skirt s very graceful and easy when its lines are not "exaggerated. ' tr aperies are always attractive, and they are unques tionably the fashion of the day, Only the most expert dressmakers are cap able of making a success with these cre ations, and there are - comparatively few women who will find them becom ing, and so with these difficulties to . overcome, it is not probable that the style will become universally worn. , . .-..ill, i i ...... - . .. There ' are 'many - different' arrange ments of girdles on the new gowns of the eea son. We often see a girdle of an entirely ' different color from the gown, such as old gold satin on blue. filnk or ecru. A soft dove gray is much iked, because it gives the girdle a distinction all -its own. A charming effect is found in using wide pompa dour ribbon of pink rosea on a black ground. A shaped piece cut from the lack was fitted In the front to ' the side seams, and from here was gathered the full width of the ribbon with the ends drawn upwards to the back where they were knotted and let fall in sash - Veils ate being chosen to match the gowns worn, yet those of violet or Co penhagen blue are not . becoming colors to wear over the. faoe. However, if the veil must match instead) of contract, it should be chosen - In a single- thread with diamond shaped mesh, and the dot may be large or small, whichever is most becoming. The net veils with a close mesh are extremely fashionable, but they cannot be worn successfully by every woman. There are some new chiffon veils shewn in shaded colors that are) made long . enough to reach the hem of the gown. One especially, pretty was pink chiffon, which deep ened into a rich crimson at the hem, and another waa of yellow shading Into deep green. ... . .o One of the daintiest frocks displayed SrtfS s Some. Novelties In Parasols. OME charming novelties are seen In this season's parasols, and lit tle points of excellence in, ban- dies and design mark the newer creations from those which- have been In vogue for a number of years past.' One of the prettiest of these new sunshades is madtrof white silk with a Dresden border, each rib Ivory tipped and with a bleached natural wood han dle. - - This would be charming with a white costume.- Another striking model is the .striped black and white silk parasoL with a little ruff of the same around the ferule, and with an ebony handle. A brown parasol which la new is made of brown silk, the covr tucked with four deep tucks and bordered by a band of darker brown.

Get them Interested so much that they. learn to love home more than any other spot on earth. Let them have their Innocent amuse ments : and give them time to enjoy them. Let them know that each one has a part to do In making the home pleasant. Teach them that any discord among them affects the whole family and that others have rights that each member must learn to respect. Let them know that the home Isn't kept up for some pet of the family but is run in the interest of all. Teach them to respect their elders.. In fact, teach them to be little ladles and gentlemen and when they are grown up to man hood and Womanhood they will , linger long at the parental threshold before stepping out to breast- the rushing cur rent of Ufe in the outside world; and more than that, when father and mother have. been borne to their .final resting place and their ashes peacefully rest beneath the clouds of the Valley, the children's fondest recollections-' will be of their childhood home, where they got the scent of the new-mown bay. and beheld the golden light of the wheat fields, and heard the rustle it tne issaica or corn, and drove the cat tle afield, their bare fet wet with the dew of the morning, and rode the horses with the halter to the brook until they fell off, and hunted the mow for nests until .the feathered aocupants weut cackling away, and as they move -a down life's pathway, and the panorama ui mmr-ciujanooa noma passes before $ ra, wu up ana can you at . f ' - , V " " Novelties In Dress. THERE is no lack of variety in clothes this season, writes the New Torker. If your purse i Is full enough to order a dozen or more gowns you can have each one In style and en tirely different In line, color and con ception from the others. '- , There have been few seasons when so many kinds of fashions were jumbled upon each ofher without rhyme or rea son. Possibly this Is because all the de signers tried to get something new and all the customers went off on tangents of their own. This resulted In a mixup. 'Short and stout figures, long and lean onea, those who like extremes and. those who do not, ran all be suited in the va riety of styles that are In first class this year. The short waist is as stylish as ever, and yet the extremely long waist, almost pinched In at an exaggerated length. Is equally favored. Long and short coats are In each wardrobe, and loose and tight ones are equally worn. It might also be accounted a distinct novelty the wearing of black liberty satin for plain coat suits. Every one cannot afford It, but it is quite lovely. These are not for everyday street wear, but you see them at the smart restau rants and the private houses for lunch eons and afternoon teas. One of the best-looking ones that started the fashion had a circular skirt, very narrow and scanty, with seam down front and two box pleats at back, fitting over the waist line and giving a superb curve to the back. It was higher there than In front. Evldcntlv no petticoats were worn with It. The now fashionable bloomers must have been under It. It probably had a six-inch facing of cloth and stiff muslin to keep the hem seady. It was very long all around, with a short, pointed train. The coat was loose, artistla and with little semblance of fit. It did not meet by six inches In the front and had two lapped darts down back, from shoulder to hem. Odd as the coat Is it is not nearly so Important to the average woman these days as the skirt worn with it. This is very harrow, quite In the manner of the First empire, clinging to and show ing the figure and revealing the fact that very little underwear Is beneath it. There is either a seam down the front or three box pleats or 12 tucks. There Is no attempt to curve in at the waist line, as a perfectly straight line is dropped from two Inches above the waist to the floor. Everything is done to widen the front breadth. It has been years or decades since we have allowed three box plaits turned over In an inch and a half hem and . finished with feather stitching. Now the-' bag is ready to mount on the handles, which are formed of two wooden embroidery hoops, bound with trimming tape, which is bought by the piece in any snop. -a wnite tape wun fine blue . feather- stitching - makes a Eood kind for the hoop a . The braid is ound a - little more than half way around the hoop and the ends tied in a tiny bow, which serves to hold the hoop. . The top hem is made ' after the bag is mounted en the hoop. Otherwise these would be no way of getting over the ring. - These bags fit over' door handles er the top of a chair and are one of the most convenient furnishings of a bath or dressing room.-. 8trlps of this clean looking blue and white toweling make attractive dresser and table scarfs; they can be used for aide curtains in bed rooms, for- wall protectors or mantel strips.

At the back the skirt fits Into the waist line, which, as you will Instantly remember, is Just the opposite of what It has been doing. The front went in and the back -stayed out on a straight line; these conditions are reversed. The sweep at the back is confined to a. sharp little point that twists and turns on the floor as the wearer walks. It is so narrow at the aides that It us ually folds into creases or turns over at the edge. This type of skirt is really better in the long run for dress wear than the short one for street, but we have them on the latter lust the same. They make the plaited skirt look quite a back num ber, although they cannot take away the fact that it is the prettiest skirt. . No matter whether or not they ere lined, they are fitted exceedingly tight over the hips with a straight central seam, ana the material is so scant that thev pull In under the knees. There are no ruffles or bias folds to break the line, but the wide designs of the same - cloth are stitched on and pressed down with a hot Iron to look as inougn tney were woven in the fabric. t tt m : ' Made of Chinese Towels. rHINATOWN contributes many charming novelties to the realm of needlework, but none of the or! ental fabrics Is more useful than ' the ordinary Chinese towels. It is only re cently that the possibilities in these in expensive materials have been recog nized. Now they are being made up Into effective laundry bags, bags for soiled handkerchiefs, catchalls and bags of every description that can be hung in the bath room or dresslnar room and can be tubbed whenever their freshness nas gone. Chinese toweling comes In blue and whlta strlDS several yards Inn, nd about enlghteen inches wide, ; Every twenty-four inches tor so there Is a de cided decorative design in blue and white, with a typical Chinese, hnrdor arouna tne rectangle. Bometlmes flow ers in aaricer oiue adorn the towel cen ter and sometimes the decoration is of dragons and glgantio Chinese charac ters, usually there are two shades of blue In the toweling relieved by white. The material costs , fifteen or twenty cents a towel, and it takes four to make a laundry baa. -whila dofor a soiled handkerchief bag. To make the laundry bag use four towels cut. the same length and sew them together down the center with feather stitching done in white cotton.

Then make a rectangle of feather stitching across the top of the bag, leaving a. space four 'tv uwu asuuvv m inn raw tarn nches between that row and th. Mh.r and have ths 'ends come - within two inches of the sides of the bag. At each end of this rectangular space and on the under side of the bag mage a wide buttonhole worked In the white cot ton.

Tassels win be left on each side of the bag and there will be four loop by which the bag can be hung up. When its turn comes to go to the laun dry the cotton cords can be slipped out, the board removed and there is the flat bag ready to be washed and ironed. The soiled handkerchief bag ia even simpler to put together. Two of the Chinese towele are feathert' stitched to gether down the center and then thev are folded in half crosswise, the length of the towel being sufficient to form the double bag. The folded sides are ornamented with stitching to within three Inches of .the top. The ends are the year when the florists are very busy, as then In order to fill ali their orders they are not as careful as they mignt oe as to tne rresnness of the flowers they deliver. Long-stemmed flowers, such ss roses or carnations, can be kept easily for a weeK Dy cutting on a Dit or the stem each day and by changing tha water daily. If they become wilted from the heat tney. snouia De spnnKied witn cold wa ter and put In the refrigerator or a cold room over night. A little salt added to the water will alao lelp to keep them fresh. Roses or carnations treated In this way should last nearly a week, and Often do last longer. Violets are a harder proposition, as they often look well a long time, but the odor of stale violets makes It Im- Fosslble to wear them after a day or wo. A good way to keep them, how ever, is to get a large box and put In It a great deal of silk paper; then put the Violets In this box and sprinlcle thoroughly, particularly the stems. Cover them well with the silk paper and put them In the top of the Icebox, or. If It is winter, line the bottom and sides of the box with cotton batting and Put the box outside the window. The cotton has just enough warmth to keep the flowers from freezing and the siik paper Keeps in the moisture, it le better, if possible, to tip the box so that the water runs down to the stems, as omerwise tne riowers are apt to get water soaked. Sweet peas, orchids, gardenias and lilies of the valley can all be kept In this same way. A gardenia will last a long time ir the flower is not touched, but as soon as It is touched it turns brown. A girl sent some flowers packed In this way to a friend who was 111 and they arrived at the end of five days quite as fresh as when they had started. Nothing in the world Is nicer or sweeter than fresh flowers, and notning is mum worse man stale ones; but girls' who want to keep flowers fresh will find the above rules good ones to follow.

Many housekeepers make jelly of equal jarts raspberry and currant juice, but if when currants are scarce they will use apple Juice instead, they will be delighted with the result By using part apple you can have the decided raspberry flavor, but have a good firm jelly, says a country housekeeper. The only trouble Is that apples are not In season at the same time that the berries are ripe so that it Is necessary to plan ahead.- Cover the apples with cold water and stew until tender, then drain out the Juice through a cheese cloth bag.

Bv Clara Louisa Cnrtihim. EpPLE of various sects and bo ilers are beginning of late to say that fear is the devil. No mat ter how trite the saying may be come as mortals waks up to it. it will never cease to be true. And how that devil robs the children! From the moment of the average child's first fall, when the mother cries out and picks him up with such manner and words that he screama with terror, the instilling of fear goes on. The average child begins by being care-free, but the average loving mother undermines that confidence with the most earnest tn dustry. The forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge is forced upon the child until his naturally erect, fearless mental carriage gradually becomes dis torted, and he stoops and oows to the inevitable.

The abuse of the word Afraid" makes one wish that parents would strike it from their vocabulary. If they would cease, in the daily routine of life, from putting pictures of fear Into young minds, there would not so often be seen that pathetic sudden vanishing nt a-lnd. ness from a child's eyes while (he pained effort to understand what thara la tn ha . afraid of takes its place.

HOUSEWIFE who has tried both A methods of canning, cooking for about 20 minutes and cooking for an hour Or more, says: "Whenever I have canned tomatoes, I have found tha they have kept all right when well eooked. whether the fruit was from sound or partly decayed stock, and that they have "fermented when slightly eooked.' whether over or under-ripe, though over-ripe fruit, slightly cooked. may fermeht sooner than under-ripe. Thcrafnra I think that to avoid fer mentation after canning. thorough cooking - Is much more important than tne degree or ripeness oi mo irmi. tomatoes are cooked long enough to expel the air from the seeds it would seem that they are by that time suf ficiently sterilised to keep.
