This .Is taken as an Indication that the'direc tolre stylo Is doomed and will pass from . the realm of Xashlotrjbefore the "year Is over, at least so far as this country Is " concerned. The passing of the directolre -,. style, would be cause for sincere re gret, as U Is undeniably beautiful and artistic, The only trouble with it is that It requires as almost perfect fig ure, slender and graceful, and looks in- fOn mifllif and AVan rfrifnulniia nil m fat . and shapeless woman, .. . . Hut, after all, the same' objection may be made to any style, as one that Is be- - coming to a fat woman-.wlth curves all - over, is almost certain to be unbecoming to the slender and willowy woman. Whatever style may follow the -present directolre model, there will be thou sands of women to whom it will not be becoming. Of course, the fat women deserve some consideration, as thev are flesh. It is a great deal 'easier for a r woman or nne rigure to arena Becom ingly than for one not thus favored by nature. , .

Of these there sre many, gorgeous patterns already in evi dence for waistcoats, revere and cuffs. The? decorative , element strongly pre dominates in the materials shown in the shops for spring wear and there Is every reason to assume that rich and beautiful, colors and materials will be extremely popular during the coming Spring and summer.

The petticoat is trimmed with a flounce of point d'esprit In the ssme color. The point d'esprit flounce is quite deep, and around the bottom, at Intervals of about two Inches, there are rows of narrow satin ribbon matching in eolor and - shirred In the middle.

Help the world to make some of Its many other dreams, which are' not so very different from your own; come true, and It will help you to realise yours.

If your work la good, all the things which you desire, the dreams which you want to come true, will come true. Mind you, the world rarely gives us exactly wnat we want. And, also, we rarely. want what we thought we want ed, after we have It. Nevertheless, the dreams of the world, such as they are your areams ana mine are really acnievaDte, ana sne regular snops and factories and trades and professions, which 'are all about us, show us the way. Work Is the answer giving the world what it wants by sowing, reap ing, manufacturing, distributing.

I' ADAMB WU, the wife of the Chinese minister at 'Washing- ; ton. recently told of the Im portant ceremonies attending a baby's first birthday, in antici pation of such an event in the life of her little granddaughter. Said Mme. Wu: When baby is a year 'Old she is placed in her chair and after the pray ers and other ceremonials, a great sieve Is put before her and In the sieve is a piece of money, a book, a pen. a brush and for the girl-some embroidery silks and a little work basket If she takes the money she will be rich and marry an Illustrious lord. 'If she takes the basket her embroidery will be the pride and fortuhe of her family. When - a boy has the sieve placed before him all the relatives are In 'great anxiety. If -he takes the pen, they say, behold he will ' add to the grandness of his eople by being a scholar, if the brusn e will be an eminent artist There was a baby In the dynasty of Sung who, when the sieve was-presented, seised brf the ereat seal of state. There -were other brighter and. more attractive ob jects Ili.lllB HIOVO! UUl HUUtlUK get mm to arop tne seal ana select something else. And the child became a mighty lord chancellor of the empire." Madam Wu. like her talented spouse, esres little to . discuss Chinese prog ress along the lines of woman move ments. She belongs to the old regime and if the tales which travelers' tell be true, she is probably the last grand dame with bound feet and the old tra ditional training which the capital will know.

I CE CREAM is usually considered a luxury, ' but when made at home costs no more, and Is no more trou ble to make than many deserts. Lux uries are not always an extravagance; they are sometimes a necessity. It is not well to "live in ruts" and have the same things on the table day in and day out A variety of food, with a lux ury now snd then, not only gives en joyment hut Is necessary for tne main tenance of good health. Meat Is always -expensive, but many parts of the animal if palatably cooked are as good if not better than the cost ly cuts. Beeves', calves' and sheeps' hearts are cheap and very nourishing. They should be soaked for two hours In warm, slightly salted water, and the waste and some fat trimmed off. When stuffed and roasted, broiled, fried or corned, they make a tasty, wholesome dish. In Europe, every edible part of the animal is used in cookery; nothing goes to waste. Beeves' palates, tongues, rains, tripe, kidneys, liver,, ox-heels, ox-heads, sheep-trotters, haslets, even lights and lungs, are made into palata ble dishes, and these are all cheap, good and 'healthful eatlna. Pudding cloths should be kept In a drawer, clean and dry, ready for uss. Similar cloths should be kept in a sepa rate place ready for boiling fish. The latter must be well washed and boiled after ustnif to remove any fish odor Bread, flour or meal puddings when boiled In a clotn should be tied loosely, as they swell in cooking. ' ' - To tell whether a cake or bread Is done, thrust a . clean broom-splint through tne center or tne loar. it it "sines It Is not done. A loaf of bread ran also be tested by removing from pan, and placing the palm of hand on bottom of the loaf. If not too hot to be borne, it Is ready to be taken from the oven. Heating the knife when cutting hot cake or bread will, in a measure, pre vent crumbling. A String can be used successfully for cutting hot brown bread. Cleanliness and neatness ought to be watchwords of the kitchen. The cook's hands, nails and apron should be im maculate. Cotton dresses that will bear frequent washings and smooth aprons minus gathers and trimmings never Mother Hubbard wrappers, kimono sacques or discarded old clothes fit for the raeba&r should be worn for Kitchen work. Strange as it may seem. it is possible for a. housewife to be clean without being- neat Her stove may shine, her cooking utensils be bright. ner neartn and floor scrubbed to snowy whiteness -yet her kitchen table, dresser and closet shelves "cluttered" with things not put away from the last or tlme-before-Iaat cooking. Her hair may be frowsy, her dress, though clean, without collar or belt. A word to ths wise Is sufficient. There is no excusable reason why frying .pans snd kettles should be put in the closet to attract mice and insects with sn outside coating of black greasl-1 nese.

Mrs. littyW- ''Wkfch kind of soap do you like best, Anty, yellow or white?". Anty Drwlge--'T& rather have a yellow soap that makes the clothes white than a white soap that makes them yellow. FefcNaptha makes the clothes white as snow. It's yellow because that is the natural color of soap when it hasn't been bleached and weakened - by chemicals." Y: sP:rh:t1 Perhaps a woman feels more like work ing in Winter than Summer. , Perhaps she feels more like pitching ia and doing a big week's washing. But that's no reason why she should boil her clothes and wash them in hot water. No reason why she should fill her house with nauseous steam and Iran the risk of catching a bad cold. No reason , for reddening hands and face by hot water and steam. No reason ior breaking her back over the washtub, hard-rubbing. No indeed. Washing with FelsNaptha soap in lukewarm water is just as sensible : in Winter as in Summer ' Let Fels-Naptha save the boiling' and hard-rubbing . , . Let it do your washing in half the time -of the old way. -v ."-V- f- f ' Save your energy for" something else.
