T HT do, people who are intended II by their creator to be sensible 11 humans undertake to be "fad I f . diets, with the result that they . ". sometimes miss even decency T In his latest play "The Bos;v Edward Bheldon, author of ."The Nigger", and "Salvation,1 Nell" -, has '' pictured a mis guided female with a settlement hobby. Emily Qriswotd s ft conventlonar and cultivated snob of "perfect classical profile,"' the daughter of a financially and socially : distinguished house. With theenthuslasm of her type, she plunges into the ; slums, bent on ertding dirt and fllseaset muddle and, misery. In her'minlsterlng angel"; capacity, she meets. "Shindy Mike" Regan, born over the back room of ' a tenderloin bar, reared In the shiftless alleys ef a metropolis. He is a full blooded rough, Brutal man, . whose language . is . the idiom of the tenderloin, v He has come up from the depths to a, position of wealth and power' by daring and ruth less method. He loves Emily Grlswo and his love is the only honest and un tainted: thing that has come into his Uf. When the home of Grlswold 'comes under Regan's control the latter offers to agree to a compromise, if Emily Grlswold will become Mrs. Regan. To save -her family' name" and; to protect her charges in, the settlements from loss of all their savings, a. result of Her father's failure,- Emily consents to become "Shindy Mike's" wife, in name only, - Chill ss an iciole Emily presides over the Regan household. She coddles the reeking mass of settlement habitants, but devotes not the flicker of a smile to her husband . v ! Beaten by a strike instigated by his wife's brother, heart bruised by the, in difference of his haughty-wife, Regan is about to seek revenge by foreclosing all ; the mortgages . he holds in th4 BlumsrTo prevent the eviction of .her "pets" Emily' offers to sell herself to her husband, brother words, to permit his caresses ' and endearments, if ' the mortgages are dlsregardtd.Jr;i;t7;77-"" iTdthl Then it Is that the elemental man turns pon the superl6r and unap proachable woman and lays bare her sordid soul. ' "Shindy Mike," bar room product, coarse and brutal, in contrast to the cool and cultivated daughter of aristocrats;, appears as a cup of red blood against a cup of watered milk. He has sanctioned the murder of a sa loon keeper, knocked a union striker into insensibility in the. presence of s wife, he nas lied and blasphemed to p. prince of the church, but his love is true and honest She, the angel of the settlements, the posing Illy of soul less sin, is a hypocrite, a bribe taker, a prostitute. - Emily, In the light of her bargaining, Is a jest at decency, a naked thing, brazen and absurd, and such are all her . tribe, who' sell themselves for wealth, position or principle. One -of New York's leading clubwomen. who declares that the old maid of 50 years ago no longer exists. 'Mrs.-Mildred Marly Eaaton, founder and leader of, the "Life a Fine Art Club" of New 'vJTbrk. at a recent meeting of that or' ' g&nlsatlon gave her . reasons for her - belief. "There are no .longer any old 1 - women,',' declared Mrs, Eaaton. "The! woman 80 years young . has come to take her place. Oldness Is a disease that is being studied more and more each .year. It Is a state of not anti cipating, , being selfish and. self -centered." Questions and Answers Dear Miss More: Pleas tell me through your valuable column how to word and send Invitations to a hoy's eighteenth birthday surprise party. Is it 'better to send Individual Invitations to the girls and boys or Just Invite the boys and ask them to bring the girlsT What can I serve for a nice lap sup per and what games will be appropriate? 1 Ei J. S. Word your Invitations similar to this: "Mrs. S. requests , your presence at a party in honor of her son's eighteenth birthday at her home, 706 Walnut ave nue, Wednesday, March, first, nineteen hundred and eleven. 8 o'clock."

A Useful Material. 4 Cheesecloth Is to be had cheaply, and is as valuable for dusters and rubbers as many, far more expensive fabric Its "great merit is thatlt is firm, though so loosely woven that grease and dirt come out of it easily In washing. The best dishcloths .. are, . of cheesecloth, double, with the raw edges turned In, and then stitched in the machine Cabinetmakers use sets of three cheese cloth dusters for furniture, the first for applying the oil, the second to remove it and the third as a polisher. Cheese cloth is splendid for cleaning windows and mirrors, and a bag of it Is useful in the kitchen for straining soups. y..., n : V'.:' :;:';;;V" , , Stale Bread. , I. Do not waste bread. Every scrap can be used. Below are some of the possi bilities of stale bread as prepared by Anna B. Scott: ; ,, v'-- ' Lemon Toast I teaspoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoons sugar. 1 egg, pinch, salt, 1 teaspoon butter, V4 lemon. Mix the cornstarch with a little oold water, add the sugar and salt, break in the egg and beat well. Add this to 1 cup boiling water, add the grated . rind andJulcaJLJaU:, lemon, Joniy. the. yel low of the rind). Boll 2 minutes, stir ring constantly. Lay the toast on a plat ter, pour the sauce Over while warm and serve . cold.: This makes , a' nice luncheon. dessert. -The butter Is entirely a matter of choice and should be added just before removing' from tbe'flre,- and helps make it rich. French Toast-- cup flour, oup milk. 1 egg. .1 teaspoon baking powder, Vi teaspoon salt, sliced bread. . If the bread is very dry, we will want an ettra H cup of milk. Pour the extra milk in a soup plate and dip the bread In uicklyv-lay--o strainer, If the bread is soft you do not have to dip-H in the milk.- Dip bread very lightly In batter made aa follows: Fry In hot' drippings, and drain on brown paper. ; ... Batter Sift flour, salt, and baking powder Into bowl, add the milk and the egg. Beat well, then dip the bread. It la not necessary to have deep fat to fry toast, use shallow fat and turn when one side Is brown. Sprinkle with sugar, or serve with fruit juice or mar malade. - . Water Toast Toast bread nice and brown, immerse in salt water, lay on platter, dot with butter, and put in hot oven a few" minutes. This Is a tasty way of using stale bread. Dry Toast Just a word about dry toast:' Many think If bread Is brown on the outside it Is toast This Is a mistake. Bread should be dried In the oven, and then toasted on the outside of the range or over the coals, pry toast should be dry, not soft in the middle. Bread Flitters with Fruit 1 cup stale bread, cup flour. H oup milk, tt tea spoon baking powder, Vi teaspoon salt 1 egg, 2 tablespoons raisins or currants. Soak the bread In cold water enough to cover. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt Into a bowl, add. the milk and egg and beat well; add the raisins or currants, that have been washed and the bread, that has been pressed between the hands. Mix well. Brush the griddle or Iron pan with drippings the same as for flannel cakes, put on a very not gria dle one spoonful at a time, brown, turn and cook until light brown on both sides. Dust with sugar or serve with fruit iulce. Just a word about stale bread crumbs. One cup of stale bread crumbs added to our flannel or griddle cakes makes them lighter and makes them go further. Bread Pudding 2 cups milk, 1 egg, 2 cups stale bread, diced, crust removed, 4 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon butter, 2 tablespoons raisins or currants, pinch salt. Beat the egg, add the milk and salt! Brush a small pudding pan with butter, put in the bread, pour the milk and egg over, stir in the raisins or currants, spread the brown sugar over the top, dot with the balance of the butter. Bake 20 minutes covered and 10 minutes un covered In hot oven; H H It What We Buy. The names given the various qualities of furs are more in the nature of trade names that have become recognised In the trade and according to Vogue, are presumed to be known to the layman as not being in fact what they would seem o imply. ' yFor example, what Is called "Russian sable" is In many Instances American sable, 'what Is called "bear" is quite fre quently dyed goat, and It should be borne In mind that "fox" is often dyed hare; "mink," "sable" or "skunk," dyed marmot; "sable," dyed mink; "mink" or "sable," dyed musquash; "eliKtrlc," "Red River" and "Hudson seal," pulled and dyed musquash or pulled and dyed nu tria or sheared and dyed rabbit; "bea ver" and "otter," pulled or natural nutria; "beaver," sheared and dyed opossum; "seal," pulled and dyed .otter; "sable," or "French sable," dyed rab bit; "ermine," white rabbit; "chinchil la," white rabbit dyed; "skunk," dyed wallaby; "fox." white hare and "silver fox," fox or sable with white hairs In serted totglve tt the silver appearance. In some instances this la, of course, not at all as it should be, whereas there might be some excuse for calling Ango ra goat "Persian goaf since this ani mal originated in the vilayet of Ango ra in Asia. HUH Asbestos Mats. Prevention Is better than cure. If housekeepers would use the asbestos mats fewer walls ori account of ruined tables would be heard. One can buy asbestos mats in every size, from a tumbler mat five Inches in diameter to a platter mat measuring nine by fourteen Inches, j The former coats ten cents, the latter costs forty two cents. A saucer mat Is seven Inches in diameter and may bbought- for fourteen cents. v Plate mats come In nine and ten Inch slses respectively and float eighteen and twenty cents each. The platter mats are oval in shape and come in three graduated sixes, price twenty cents, thirty-six cents and forty-two cents respectively. Every housekeeper who has tried making vher. own sash-curtains has probably been disappointed with the re sult, for though accurate measurements may have been" made, when the cur tains are hung they Invariably prove either too short or sag in places. A plan which I have tried with suc cess Is to baste a deep hem at the low er edge of the curtains, then hang them and allow them to 'remain in position until ' they have . sagged or dragged. Then 'the basting threads' should be taken out and the hem "set In perman ently. . . - - ft, it " . . Washing Cotton Goods. Cotton blankets are washed different ly from those made of wool Soap them I them to soak in tepid water. .Wash them In an hour or, so and place In a boiler "of hot suds to steam, not boll. Rinse' In several waters. Use a very little bluing and dry them double on the line. Press dry on the wrong side. Quite the contrary is the process of washing woollen, for hot" water canont be used on them. Dainty quilts, liable to fade, should first be soaked in a tub of . cold , water containing a half cup of turpentine to set the color. It H K . 4, Portland Woman Abroad.
