Anhiflou no Ability. That Mrs. Dore Lyon, queen of clubs (women’s clubs), has turned authoress will surprise none of those admirers who have followed her career, note- worthy alike for the versatility with which she has brought herself to prom- inence and the speediness with which she has caused her sway to be ac- knowledged by all women engaged in the club movement in New York city. To Mrs. Lyon the conquering of liter- ature is only a step in her upward course. The field of art has already known her through her musical ambi- tions. A ”’31.: New York Woman Who Mrs. Lyon’s ambitions are not only boundless, but unusually varied. and whether it be in conducting an election controversy in a woman's club, in sn- perintending a money raising function for a philanthropy or in her gracious patronage of the fine arts Mrs. Lyon has always demonstrated her keen comprehension of human character, es. peclally feminine character, and her ability to put that comprehension to Mrs. Lyon is the newest leader } among women's clubs to have achieved ‘ success in so short a time. For only (our years has she been at all promi- nent in club circles. During that time she has been president of the Eclectic club. an organization upon which the light of publicity has beaten with un- usual pertinacity. and from this post of only comparative importanceâ€"for the Eclectic club is by no means the great- est among women's clubsâ€"she has been = elevated to the presidency of the City Federation of Women's Clubs. than which there are only two higher posi- . tions within the gift of the woman club ‘ members of this country. the state and i the national presidencies.â€"New York Herald. ‘ ____ . ,.4___ _.<._.__ uâ€" Economy nnd Laundry Work. It was demonstrated in a household economics exhibition held recently that with a little (are in selection of ma~ terial women could become in a meas- ure independent of the laundress and at the same time save a considerable sum or money. Unironed and sun dried underwear was recommended as being both economical and healthful. . There was also a demonstration of the money saved by wearing plain rather than fancy lingerie. which was based on laundry prices for washing and ironing. Two suits were shown of three pieces each. One was of longcloth. edged with convent embroidery, the prettiest being trimmed with plain ruffles only. This cost $4.50 and could be laundered once a week for a year at a cost of $32. The other was nainsook, made elaborately and trimmed with lace. It cost $13.50. and the laundry work for the 'same time amounted to $83. This estimate was made on the ac- tual pieces which‘ had been charged for doing the suits at a first class laun- dry. As an accurate estimate of the time spent is made when grading laun- dry prices. $5. is the equivalent of the time saved by the laundry on the plain suit At home, with fewer facilities and less expert work. which are most needed in doing the lace trimmed wear, thedinerenoeinumewouldheeven wo-anttvuthahllewlnchltetab maumwhafiaam new-pane: work an a m for a man: “It all departs upon whether you can readily adapt yonraelt the hnalneaa and whether you hav nope natural talent for acrlhbllng.

These critics aver that the short skirted girl must study serlOusly the matter of her gait, for it is of far more moment than when wearing longer skirts. The steps should be small and regular. They say that the Spaniards attach a ribbon to each garter to keep their pace even and regular. Be this taken for what it is worth, there is no doubt that Spanish ladies have a most graceful walk and carriage. The American woman who led on with short skirts and is wholly respofible for either adoption will hardly adopt a method of gear to hamper her steps and reduce her gait to a “mince.” But in this saggestion there is a hint to: the girl of the period to ponder over. The gait acquired on the tennis court or golf field will never give grace to a girl in ankle high skirt, especially if she have feet that her friends duh “200d understandings."-â€"Philadelphia Telegraph. Advice of a. Successful Belle. “Yes, my dear. one could lay down rules for the charming of the other sex," said an old but very successful belle to a debutante who, in spite of a beautiful face, is, it must be ad- mitted, a failure as far as popularity goes. Ardent admirers she has. but of temperate admirers and men friends she has none. “One could lay down rulesâ€"a hundred and three 0! them. all good rules too. But there are two I’d remember it I were you, and you can afford to let the others take care of themselves. The first is when talk- ing to a man never ‘run down' an- other woman.

It it is necessary to wash corsets take out the steels in front and sides, then lay them on a flat surface and with a small brush scrub them thor- ouzhly with tepid or cold lather of white castile soap. When quite clean let cold water run on them by holding them under a running faucet until the soap is all rinsed on. Pull them length. wise until they are stuight and shape- ly and let them dry in a cool place. pulling them again when partly dry. By this treatment they will retain their natural shape and wear for months It is not economy, though it may seem so. to combine the use of a, rain umbrella and sunshade in one article. A manufacturer of umbrellas points out that it is the oil in the silk which continues its wear. When that is dried out. the material cracks and is useless. The sun's heat obviously, therefore, is not desirable and should be kept from a good umbrella. A cheap pongee or silk and linen parasol may better be bought, as it will mean perhaps a year more wear for the more expensive rain shieldâ€"Ha rper’s. Black Bea; loan. The liquor in which ham is boiled may be made the basis of a delicious and nutritious soup. Soak a pint of black beans overnight, boil till perfect- ly tender in the water in which they were soaked, mash fine, add a pint or a little more of the ham liquor. which must be allowed to get cold so that the {at can be removed, and press through a sieve upon a few slices of lemon and rings of hard boiled eggs. This is the “black bean soup” which has such a reputation. Lemon Juice Treatment. To treat the skin with lemon juice take one pint of hot water and add to it a teaspoonful of powdered borax. To this add the Juice of half a lemon. Use a sponging lotion for the skin. Let it dry on, but wash of! after fifteen minutes or so. This will prove very whitening. It there are deep, yellow spots the clear lemon can be applied, but it should be tried first with caution, as every skin will not bear the clear, strong lemon. 4 Apple Taly For Children.

In every house should he a stateroom which should be cool, airy and, above all, dry. Where the space can be al- lowed it is well to choose a hiriy large room and have it fitted up with shelves. brackets and a strong firm table, with, it possible, a drawer of generous size. In this keep two or three spoons, a knife, a large pair of scissors, a ball of string, a cheese cut- ter' and a soap cutter. These last two are practically the same as far as make is concerned, but should naturally be kept very strictly each for its separate A good set of scales should also be part of the storeroom outfit, as should a slate, with pencil attached, fur any stray memoranda. A generous allow- ance of shelves should be provided, and each she]! should be kept for its sep- arate and special use, so that in a little time you should be able to tell blind- folded in which direction to go tor sug- ar, jam and starch. Either tightly closing tins or large earthenware crocks should be used for cereals, currants and raisins. The lids should be kept tightly closed, as insects are very destructive, to cereals espe- cially. Garlic and strong smelling ar- ticles should be kept in tight fitting tins and as far away as possible from anything likely to be aflected by the odor. Lastly, to insure comfort, 9. corner or the storeroom should be devoted to household stores of various kinds, such as writing, blotting, packing, brown and other kind of paper; a ball each of fine and coarse string, a small tool chest, with a glue pot and a bottle of either cement or glue, and last. but by no means least, a small medicine chest. for, where there are children especially, one never knows when a question or minutes may not make the difference between life and death. ‘3 Odd Ptncunhlon. There is an odd design for n paper pincusmon which is given in the La- dles’ Home Journal. The pincushion is easy to put together and is quite or- namental in appearance.

Cure For Null Biting. The annoying habit of nail biting. common among children, is curable in its earlier stages without resorting to the trick of rubbing the finger tipl with bitter stuffs. Manicure the child’s nails carefully and see that there are no hangnails. Cut rather deeply into the corners and file the nails short. Children often bite their nails because they are not quite comfortable. A ragged edge of one nail is bitten to make it smooth. and the foundation of the habit is laid. If the little fingers were cared for regularly from 'baby- hood few children would adopt the die. agreeable practice. A nun For .- Invalid.

Better than baking pie crust inside the tins and pricking to prevent put!- ing is to turn the tin upside down, told the crust over it and bake‘thus. Turn the crust upon an earthen plate and fill wlth lemon or any sort filling desired. Garnishinx Dishes. One thing should be rememberiâ€" it is not art to disguise a dish hey“. recognition. Fish should appear as iish and meat as meat, and the guests should be able to tell at once what is served to them. Cold dishes lend themselves more readily to garnishes than hot dishes. For cold meats aspie jelly is always acceptable and easily prepared. It may be made or water flavored with beef or chicken extracts. seasoned. cleared and stiffened with gelatin. Boiled or fried potatoes make an excellent garnish for fish with the addition or parsley and lemon. Hard boiled eggs are suitable accompani- ments for bolled fish or molded splnacb. The small vegetables, such as peas and beans and carrots and turnips, cut in small pleces, are appro- priate with meat. To use cauliflower, macaronl, brussels sprouts or aspars- (us as a garnlsh is a mlstake. Rice ls used to advantage as a border for creamed meats and vegetables. Pars- ley. lettuce. celery tops and cm no la order wlth many dishes. Intel-In] and breaks. Women are charged with extrava- gance in dress unjustly. The best taste would prescribe simple gowns of good material, but such apparel is not the most inexpensive. On the con- trary. it is more costly to get such gowns than to buy more elaborate dresses. This makes a real difficulty in the way of the woman who would dress tastefully on limited means. Good material is the sine qua non of tasteful dressing, and good material is expensive. Simplicity in dress is than inevitably costly, and. since it i! at the same time the mark of good taste, women have a problem berm-c them. It seems a paradox to say that simplicity and cxlmnse go together. but it is the fact, and it may explain in a way the charge of extravagance against American women in the mat- ter of drossâ€"Chicago Tribune. A “'3! to Save Tired Feet. If people who are troubled with tired feet could know the relief that comes from the use of cushions placed in front of the table where they stand when dishes are washed or vegetables prepared they wmfid provide them- selves with one or more of these pads at once. They may be made with Rev. eral thicknesses of old cloth, hugging, carpet lining or horse blanket stitched together and covered with old carpet or drugget, the edges turned in and overhanded and the Whole then tacked like a comfortable. Hang it up by two loops when not in use to keep the edges from curling up. In fact. to prevent this it is not a bad plan to have it oblong in shape. Little Thing. In the Sick Room. When the little one is ill the first thing is to make the sufferer com- fortable. See that his pillow is not too high and is often shaken smooth; that the sheets are not crumpled and are well tucked in at the foot of the bed. Even in health no one can be comfortable with the bedclothes un- tucked and working up about the an- kles. How much greater is the dis- comfort when one is ill and the grass- hopper is a burden and the rose leaf a weight! The same thing applies to the nightgown. See that it is pulled down under the child. It will not stay down. but the operation can be repeated often vithout injury to mother or patient. Candy. A little pure candy after lunch or dinner is not only uninjurious. but it aids digestion. Between meals on an empty stomach it is simply pernicious and would eventually ruin the stomach of the strongest person. Iothers who let their children cat candles and other sweets between their meals ou-talnly err from ignorance. for they would not willingly let them do a thing that would ruin their health.
