They will sew for the Zcor and at the close of the after- ooa gather round the tea table. C there is but one restriction to these gatherings. The members have rtnly forbidden the three D's, and ' iversation which touches on dress. Jostle or disease is strictly ta- keep the" matrons from stray- back into familiar conversational laths a fine of ten cents for each lce Is imposed upon every one in dultfns ,n those enthralling topics. The proceeds of the fines . are to devoted to a charity yet to be voted upon. At the first meeting it looked as if they could endow a hos t'il bed. but at the next one fines itfd lessened marvelously, nor had the members turned deaf mutes. To relieve the strains, part of the afternoon was devoted to reading jonie interesting topics of the day Hrh was later discussed. Similar vows against the Three D's vmild be excellent icemen discipline for many women, either in clubs or ilone. To realize how large a part of dailv conversation is occupied by tiiese three topics one need only de cide to cut them out. APRON SHOULD COVER SKIRT. The kitchen apron should cover the ikirt rvul front of the waist, though not necessarly the sleeves, as most house dresses are made with short In making the apron, provide it with an immense pocket, in which ran be carrid a small dustcloth. (vften one notices dust particles on the furniture, windows or banisters while doinc the morning work, and the du5tc!oth is at hand. Arain one has to pick up numerous rt articles to throw into waste Kiffccts. and the pocket holds such i.rt:cls until the waste basket Is reached. It is equally handy for holding a ft-x clothespins while hanging out the clothes: in fact, the large pocket s recognized as something decidedly usrful in the kitchen apron, ; NEW THINGS FOR COOK. For the cook there .are constantly tfir things to be foynd. A handy little utensil put on the r.arktt recently is a combination cooky cutter and pie crimper. It is shaped like a cooky cutter, with scalloped edges, but is so made that if turned around a pie being made ready for the oven it not only trims off the superfluous .pij . dough, but crimps the edges, that process rhich is usually, tediausly. performed ly th old thumb and finger method: This handy little device is to be had for only 10 cents.

They seem peculiarly susceptible to it, especially society women, women who are not under the stern necessity of working, and who have no serious purpose in life. When women of this stripe are found In any considerable numbers, there bridge whist is sure to break out, -and to assume a chronic type. Looked at morall, there is noth ing intrinsically wrong in bridge whist. Neither was there anything wrong with the barren fig tree. But tfeere was nothing good in it, and this was its fatal undoing. The owner be lieved that a fig tree ought to bestir itself and do something. He planted it for this, and cultivated it for this. There is nothing good in bridge whist. A dozen ladies may play it day by day for weeks and months at a time, and nothing good results. They will be no better off at the end than they were at "the beginning, either in body, mind or estate. They will simply wish to keep on playing. They will feel less disposed to do anything else.

They the impatient to be at their club, and they rush through their domestic af fairs, giving them a lick and a prom ise. Home-making is secondary, and domestic duties are growing more and more "Irksome. Husbands, good, hon est, hard-working husbands, are sometimes neglected. Their comfort is not carefully looked after; They must take their chances for a scrap py dinner or a cold supper, if business detains them late. Bridge whist must be attended toy'lt has the right of j way, and must not lag, though the heavens fall. Some mothers fall victims to this plague. Then the children must get along the best they can in the cir cumstances. If either bridge whist, or the children must be neglected, then it is all the worse for the children. They can be left to the tender care of nurses. That is all that nurses are fit for. They cannot .play bridge whist. The children would be the better of a little more maternal care, but they can get along without it, whereas bridge whist would stop stock still without these mothers to keep it go ing. As already confessed, we have no personal acquaintance with bridge whist, but we do have an extensive ac quainance with women, and we are fully persuaded that they are too good for bridge whist. We believe wo man is the finest of God's earthly workmanship. We are reluctant to put the angels . much , above her at her best. Cherishing such views about women, we feel perfectly sure that God made her for some higher, nobler purpose than bridge whist.. Had this been the end.
