It would ba moro tdfTft to say that she haa only recently eprtmg up Between her sprightly de meanor and tho prim waja of the obso lete 6M maid a ynwnlnff gulf Is fixed. 4-"or the former Is a delightful person, where the latter has always been an ob ject of ridicule. The bachelor girl, be It understood, Is Ho only because sho chooses so to be! The old maid had no altornallval for her ho happy choice offered Itself be tween the roseate path of matrimony and the then rocky path of slnglo blessed res Sftch was tho general opinion, at any rate Tho old maid, too. had no financial independence Sho lived "on tolerance" Jn other people's houses, as tho general rule, for at tho period when she nour ished tho piofcsslons and business life did not encourage women to participate In their work The bachelor Rlrt of the present day, Upon the contrary, earns a good salary, is financially Independent and Is re spected by all. No stigma attaches to hor late of slnglo blessedness, I rather ' incline to think that many of tho mar ried women regard her with envious oyes and wish they had hor money and her Xrecdoml "Jlary has such a good tlmel" I heard married woman say the other day with Daughter's Bedroom Now Is the time for tho fall houso cleaning. After this comes the task of arranging the carpets, rugs and curtains to the best advantage. Tho little daugh ter's bedroom requires special attention. First of all have tho floor scrubbed thor oughly and then varnished. It Is nicer to vuse a rug than a carpet, becauso tho rug Is easier to keep clean and looks much prettier. A dark, well-covered eround Is best, with a border of somo lighter shade to relieve It. The new furniture Is Ideal for the young Blrl's bedroom. If you can't afford the real French gray or Ivory whlto stylos old In the stores, have her old set dono over In this effect They ore not as fine, hut If you have tho finishing dono at a reliable placo It will look almost as eood. Bird's-eye maple 1b another good uggestlon, and looks well combined with (t pretty brass bed. Have tho room as light and as airy as possible. This Is for health as well as for feeauty. Cretonno curtains, bedspread end cushions are very attractive. But remember to uso a. plain wallpaper with cretonne. They may both bo of tho samo hade, but If you uso a figured paper with figured cratonne tho result Is too much decoration. Striped wallpaper Is very pretty nnd comes In almost any hade. It will make a small room look larger as well. Havo plenty of chairs In tho room. Tour mile daughter Is proud of her nice room, and will bo havlnp her girl friends up there. Several rockers or a large firo Ide chair, covered with cretonne to match the hangings, will look charming. Lastly, arrange the lights so that when he studies sho will set the best possible light on her desk. Don't have It shining directly on her eyes, but see that It is Rear enough that she does not havo to oqulnt or bend over. Chestnut Soup Cut off tho tops of two pounds of Span ish chestnuts, and roast thorn in the oven lor ten minutes, remove the outer and inner skins, and place them In a stew nan with sufficient weak stock to cover. JJet them cook very slowly for about an liour, when thoy should have absorbed most of the moisture. Hub them through m. wlr sieve, add two or thrco tablo poontuls of cream or milk, half an ounce of butter, salt and coralline pepper to taste. EFFICIENCY IN Every woman should aim to havo an "efllclent" Kitchen. Things should not only be conveniently placed; they should he useful In themselves. The small kitchen Is best, because you don't havo to waste so many steps, Steps count (when you are on your feet all day long. Never uso wall paper In the kitchen. The action of stoves, gas, cooking va jiors, etc.. Is ruinous to good paper. "Wnahablo oilcloth, paint or tile la bat ter. Tho last Is best and cleanest of 11, but very expansive.

Wo all can remember when things wcro bought for us. Wo Upod to sit and watch for tho delivery wagon which would brlnp us our new dress which mother bought Wo wouldn't daro select anything for oui selves. How times have changed! Nowadajs girls of 12 nnd 13 select their wardrobes entirely They may tako a friend, but mother Is seldom consulted And, straiigo to say, the result Is very creditable. The jottng girl In her teens Is neatly and suit ably drci'Cd. Tho onlv drawback Is the bills. The voting Klrl docs not know the valtio of money. Sho sees what sho wants and she bus It. She knows, of course, whether it n mum uiun sue n supposeu io pay, uui ntno times out of ten sho decides to got It anywav A vounc clrl should know tho allto of tho roods, lining and trimming of a suit, approximately, nt least.

Glvo her so much month ly to buy her ribbons, laces, fan, neck wear, gloves, eto , and an extra, amount for tho season's suit and evening gown. Sho will learn to manngo for herself, to save when possible, and, above all, It will save her tho trying ordeal of begging all the time.

Tako good care to have your fixed equipment placed In a good light. Have a fixture hanging before the Ice box eo that .you can And things at any time of night. Another good thing Is to have a placo where you can keep your accounts, pay your bills, write menus, etc. Conduct ing tho business of a, home is a good bit of work, but If you do it systematically anf. lllo every bill, you won't have nny of the financial errors whleh try the disposition of tho busy housewife.

THE CONCEITED GIRL "How do you like my new suit?" asked Adelaide, as she posed before the mirror and feasted hor eyas on her trim figure, "You look very well, Indeed, my dear. Tour suit fits beautifully, and I'm sure you couldn't ask for better." "Yes, I know. I can Just thank my lueky stars that I look as decent as I do, considering how few clothes I get That's one of the advantages of good looks you can't spoil them, except by bad. taste. And, thank Heaven, I know how to dress, If I do say it myself " "As shouldn't," added her friend softly. Adelaide Uughed. "Have it your own way, dearie. I haven't time to argue With you about it But you can take my word for It it you don't advertise for yourself, nobody else will do It It doesn't help a bit to bo a modlst little violet these days.

The American manufacturers and mo distes have found them to bo wonder fully flexible, however, nnd to digress, to modify and amplify staple Ideas and to produco a different costume every time has been easily achieved. Tho possible combinations of whist hands that tho ordinary deck of cords will glvo can be computed, but It runs Into 19 figures. So, the dominant notes, tho "Idees fixes" of fashion, can bo played on with harmonies or discords, as It may happen, and an occasional frock suggesting tho chromatic seal. Women can exploit their own Individ uality this season without crossing tho border line of fashion. While tho sil houettes are firmly established, fortu nately there Is more than one. Wo havo had tho Moyen Age. tho Russian and tho Dlrectolro for some time, with the 1S7S silhouette a possibility. Ono of the designers leaped from the tight skirt to tho full at a bound. It has been a natural ovolutlon, nevertheless. The flounced skirts, the flaring tunics havs meant tho gradual elimination of tho swathellko skirt of tho past. Evening frocks are very lovely this season. Thoy are shorter than usual, hut this Is a gain, when (dippers are fash ioned b artlfully as they now are, with .1 are concelted-to a certain extent-and we seldom notice our own fallings In others. A woman often will say she has a right to be conceited "I know I'm good looking, so what's the uso of denying ItT" asked a very pretty girl tho other day. "If you know It, my dear, what's the use of affirming- ItT" answered her Wise mother. "Let people take it for granted." This Is tho reasonable point of view. If you aro always singing your own praises peoplo will accontuato your faults, out of natural perversity. By tho same token, the girl who leaves her praises to be sung by others will hardly recognize herself. Bho will find perfection which she never dreamed of thrust upon her. Many a conceited girl has lost bar men friends because she was too sure of them Man Is a nomadlo animal, and rtqulres oareful handling Bo, If you find your James Is inclined to cast his eyes about for newer attractions, you can probably trace the reason to your own perfect self For no man can live up to per fection Creamed Potato Pie Out enough cold boiled potatoes Into (See to fijl a pint measure.

Possibly It Is one of the fadd of fashion without rhyme or reason The little frock sketched today Is ut terly simple, yet It exploits several of the fashion motives successfully and at tractively. The skirt Is full, but not extravagantly so. Thn two upper tiers are slightly draped, breaking a line that Is sometime? hard and stiff.

It reveals the natural lines of the fig ure, and the velvet, which overlaps the chiffon, crosses from front to back and fastens with a bow with long pointed ends. A buckle of brilliants holds It In place In lieu of the flower decoration that has such prestige this year.

The llmeOionored argument of bakers that wrapping tho fresh loaves spoils tho flavor nnd quality of tho bread has been overthrown completely by the Indiana State Board of Health. As a result of exhaustive experiments, made with extreme care and fairness, theeo experts have found that bread wrapped cither In porous or In paraffined paper remains fresh much longer thnn unwrapped bread and that at the end of a given time tho flax or of tho wrapped bread was also found to bo much higher than thnt of tho unwrapped. As the stnlcness of a loaf of bread Is usually determined by Its content of moisture, this detail of tho experiment should prove conc1uslely that wrapped bread keeps much better than that which Is unwrapped whether In tho grocery storo nr In itin linmp. Tho advocates of pure food have had a hard tlmo to secure tho wrapping ol bread. When tho matter could be brought to the nttcntlon of thinking people there wns never any denial of tho fact that tho only way to protect bakers' bread from contam'natlon on route between thq shop nnd tho consumer wns to wrap each loaf In parnrtlncd paper, but the rank and fllo of consumers havo failed to see or caro about it. Tho moro progressive bakers have real ised that, with tho growing sensitiveness of tho thinking public to food sanitation, tho wrapping of bread wad a good busi ness move But tho others, especially those to whom the exponso of wrapping wns a serious consideration, havo opposed It bitterly, their main nrgument being that wrapping bread Bpollcd tho flavor of It. They havo assorted that tho con sumers themselves did not want It and hnvn !tvl mnnv criticisms of wrapped bread by customers whoso method of ascertaining the freshness of bread and rolls wns to pinch the same with tholr fingers. And because public sentiment is Invari ably conservative, there has been llttlo done so far to pavo tho way for general Stnte legislation thnt will force nit bakors to protect their product from contamina tion. Persons who prefer to have their bread brought to thpm In paper wrappers patronize tho bakers who wrap their bread; those who elect to go Into tho baker's shop and squeeze the loaves con tinue to squeeze, and tho bakers who sup ply thom believe as devoutly as ever thnt tho only way to sell bread Is to leave It naked, because tholr customers Insist that ovon tho most transparent clothing Is merely put on to conceal Its age. But the result of tho Indiana Investiga tions puts nn end to any serious contro versy as to the merits of tho case bo far ns tho effect of wrapping Is concerned After this, It will moroly bo a question of public opinion, nnd tho prcssuro of that opinion upon both legislators and tradesmen. Public health In nny community de mands clean milk, clean butcher shops nnd slaughter houses, clean grocery ctores and bakeries nnd clean bread. The only way that bread can be kept clean Is to wrap It when It leaves tho oven, for there Is hardly nn nrtlclo of food that receives Marrons Glaces Only sound chestnuts must be chosen for making this popular swootmeat.

" There was only ono girl who didn't burst out laughing at this remark. Tho plain-faced girl was hurt, both for her friend and because she herself was not pretty. Delia oould afford to say these catty little things, because she was a very attractive girl. Her blue eyes were wide and had a real "baby stare" In them.

Tho rank nnd fllo of the small bakers still expect the driver of a delivery wagon to brush down nnd harness his horse and to keep his wagon In order. His own coat Is pood enough for him to wear, and the Idea of gloves would bo hooted at. Such a driver carries his bread In tho Bams fashion that he would nn armload of wood It Is piled Into tho wagon, driven through tho dusty streets to the grocery storo nnd there, having twice been pressed to the manly bosom of the driver, Is dumped Into a bread-box that stands on the pavement, and that may, If the grocer Is vory particular, be cleaned out onoe In a while. When tho grocer opens hti store, al most the first thing ha does is to take In tho brentl nnd lay It on tho counter from which tho cat may havo Just arisen from n morning nap. Then the store l cwept and the rough-surfaced loaves col lect qulto their full share of the dust and dirt as It is blown upon thorn. They Ho upon this counter to be felt nnd pinched nnd smolled by tho customers until finally they are purchased. Even then their troubles aro not over, because the usual wrapping of o loaf of bread la a loose Jacket of paper with a string around ths middle, leaving tho ends sticking out It ono of the small fry around the house has been sent by the busy mother to the grocery storo the loaf usually slides out of this paper Jacket and takes a roll or two on the pavement before It gets l'ome .... In cases whero the bread Is dellverea directly to tho consumer's homo, the wagon usually calls early In tho morning and tho bread In Its loose paper bag lies on the .doorstep until tho family gets up, so that industrious flics, cats and dogs can investigate it to their hearts' con tent. . Theso nro n few of the reasons why bread should bo wrapped nt the bakery bo securely that tho loaf Is not touched by anything or anybody from 'tho tlmo it leaves tho oven until It Is opened In the homo kitchen Tho broad-wrapping campaign Is a part of tho campaign for public health, and It should bo made com pulsory In every State of the Union, Just n3 vaccination, quarantine nnd other pro tective devices aro mado compulsory. Tho opposition of a groat many bakers, combined with tho Indlffcronce of the general public, has delayed tho day when all bread will bo wrapped But It Is bound to como nnd the conclusion of the Indiana Board of Health, by knocking tho last pin out of the nrgument put up by tho bakers against wrapped bread, has c'ono much to retire the unwrapped prod uct from public life.

A trip to the woods with trowel and "banket nnd ono can bring back enough ferns to fill a window box or to make a bravo show ing in several rooms If they aro planted separately. They bear captivity well, butthoro is one mistake, a common one, to avoid In their selection. That Is to cliooso tha young ferns with tho Idea that they will adapt themselves to new conditions. In reality tho young fern Is much moro sensitive to change than the mature plant, although It Is also so much more easily loosened from tho earth that, even knowing this, ono Is sometimes tempted to take one's chances. In selecting the plants there Is another thing to take noto of. If they aro not to havo any sunshlno after they aro housed, If n north window Is to be their future home, ferns that grow In well-shaded places should bo chosen. On the other hand, plants growing where tho sun strikes thorn at least part of the day aro the ones to select for the east and west window. They must havo drainage, and a stona or two or a bit of broken crockery should bo placed In the pots or boxes (n which they aro planted They also need a great deal of water, much more as houso plants than In their woodland life. This Is perfectly natural, as the no longer receive their nightly drenching of dow nor does the Indoor at mosphere, contain as much moisture as the open air.
