Do Japanese Lacquer Work. The minimum estimate of business done at this fair is nine months’ work in actuai sales and orders; popular de- partments, like hand weaving, lingerie, bags, pottery and Christmas noveltics, habitually turn over twelve or fifteen months’ work of the regular staff dur- ing the ten days’ fair. Another feature is the new lacquer craftswomen. These girls went out to Japan after the war, learned lacquer work In one of the great oriental ba- zaay3, and ave able to produce cabi- nets, trays, lamps, lanterns and screens which invite comparison with the best. native work. The prices of these articles is lower than that de manded in the shops where lacquer work is‘made for a specialt: ‘The one thing that {fs lacking at this women’s crafts fair is any American products...

So Although on the average women live longer tran men, a woman of 25 has fewer chances of living to be fifty than a man of the same age. On the other hand, if a man and woman have both reached the age of 50, the chances are that the woman will outlive the man, a fact accounted for by the i ference in temperament. ‘Women: now sit in the parliaments of both Norway and Sweden. ‘Mon Dieu!

This year 1919 brought us the Highlanders with bare knees and Xdited skirts, the little Portugueso men with eyes like hot embers, the Italian riflemen, and the splendid mil- itary police with their cowboy hats’ and white leather belts to hold their pistols, who were continually hum- ming tunes of the jazz band and ting on the backs, never on the seats, 6f the benches in the avenues where “It was during this great interna: tional carntval that Chester was dis- covered,” the writer tells us. He was working in one of the big hotels in the Rue de Rivoli and his dishes were so savoury and so beautifully ar- ranged that the English delegation refused to eat anything but his dishes. “The great artist Wiliam Open was so delighted with the food that he would not leave Paris without having painted Chester's portrait. This por- trait was the great attraction of the following academy exhibition. © Ches- ter was painted in his white cap and apron at his kitchen range, with his bearded and ruddy face showing up fwainst_a background of. copper pots and pans. “William Orpen had only good words for his model, and a month later his picture could te seen in real life in one of the first London hotel- ‘restaurants: where’ Chester officiated. He had left the Rue de Rivoli on dc- count of the princely salary offered him and also because of his noble mis- sion, it was then that the simple En, lsh sauces with flour-and water had a bad time! The most delicious and tasty ones took their place. Chester became in a few months the idol of English society, and it became quite a crime of lese-snobism not to have tasted Chester's cooking. “Rut the great mistakes of this Na- Poloon of French cooking, as we can ° 4 imagine, was his great ambition which brought about his ruin,” coutinues the writer. ry “He did not hesitate to attack the holy traditions of the English break: fast, which existed for more than a thousand years as is proved by the chronicles of King Arthur and the Round Table. Cafe au Lait Versus Ham And, "The cook Chester resolved to sub- stiute a simple ‘cafe au lait’ in the French fashion, for eggs and bacon, the fish and ham, the marmelade and bread and butter which every English- man who respects himself enjoys for breakfast every mor.ing before going to business. The »protests of his clients did not move the all-powerful cook. They had to submit or 35: the hotel. “The hotel promrietor instated how- ever and Chester was persuaded to add a sort of piquant sauce to the cafe au Jaitawhich was supposed to satisfy the English taste without filling their stomachs. ‘This. innovation was -his Waterloo. The sauce increased the ap- petites of the clients who demanded still more peremptorily their eggs and ‘bacon, “Confronted with this {impossibility of ‘olvilizing English stomachs, Ches- ter preferred to abdicate.

The city also was the home of the first wom- an voter, Mother Swain. The chapter has decided that some permanent rec- ord should be kept of the place where the court was held, in which the jury decided several cases. The members have decided to purchase and have placed a metal marker on the building on First strect, now used as a ware- house by the Laramtle Grocery com- pany, and there will be a suitable in- scription telling why the butlding is so marked “A fact in connection with the build. ing, where the first woman jury sat, which has not heretofore been given publicity, will be read with much in- terest. ‘There ts a double building on First street, back of the Laramie Grocery company's store, which is used as the wholesale department of the company. It was an old theater and in the theater the court met.

This was made into a gavel and on the end pieces of gold were placed, with two inscriptions, one giving the date when Mrs. Catt recetved her degree and the other the date of the first woman jury, March, 1870.

His name was Peter. In Holland, most all of the houses and stores and farms are built above wamps near the sec, and it 1s neces- sary ‘to build huge dykes to keep the sea fromy flooding the land and drown- ing the people. All the Dutch chil- dren are very patriotic and love their country with all their hearts. Small Peter had been told about the dikes and the danger to his coun- try if the sea should chance to wear away the foundation of a dike and come seeping into the land. One day as he was hurrying along to do some errand that his mother had ‘sent hith to do he noticed a tiny trickle of wa- ter coming in through a wee crack in the dike. His first thought was for his country. He put his hand over the crack and stopped it up so that the water could not come in. ‘The sea is powerful and it does not take it long to destroy whole villages Alcott if once it starts. Even with Peter's hand over the crack, the water was forcing its way through and making its passage larger and larger, Soon it was necessary to push his whole arm into the split the sea was mak- ing in the dike. Hours and hours he spent there, but no one came along to whom he could tell the danger of the sea, He did not come nome, and ‘his mother wondered why... She asked his father and his uncles and many of the neighbors to go to look for Pe- ter, for she feared he might be lost. They*found him late in the night, und asleep, still holding arm in he hole in the dike. He was carried home tired and hungry, but he had saved Holland by keeping the sea from flooding the land. The dike was repaired. All the Dutch people greet- ed Peter joyously and he was made a hero, The story is told again and again to every Iutch ehild who is bern, and so two ‘hundred years later children everywhere hear the story of the lit- tle boy who saved Holland Queen Alexandra Of England Is Living Life of Simplicity Her Principal Interest Is in Her Grandson, the Prince of Wales Queen Alexandra lives very quietly at Mariborough house and in the country, in a decreasing circle, but still keeping in touch with the sur vivers of the old Marlborough house set, and with many of the interests that have come into her life in the to the fayorite and interest, and the relation between that young man avd his grandmother is one of the most beau-| tiful things in English social life. Her gocdness and sympathy have natur-| ally resulted in an ever increasing flood of correspondence from strang ers, mainly appeals for help. correspondence is doait with expertly by the household staff, with assist ance and naturally a large part of the correspondence ts found to be rraud ulent. It is characteristic of Queen Alex andra that she ig always indignant with her people who hayd found out the fravd and not with the culprit Her interest in animals and birds still brightens her days, and she keeps her unusual gift of making friends with | the most difficult harses and dogs an birds, She is very fond of flowers, pink carnations being he& favorite She continues to play cards, but it is usually “patience.” She never was & good card player, and that was one of the thiigs in which she was out of sympathy with King Edward. Her difficulty of hearing, which has troub. led her for many years has tended to shut her off from many of her old pleasures, but her extreme quickness in understariding others, which comes through her unfailing sympathy, has made the infirmity of much less ac count than it would be with early nyone else. It has however, cut ber off from the enjoyment of the theater, which was one of her pleasures. She retains her magical gift of be- ing always picturesque und never con scious of it—the gift for which she ts most envied by other high social per- sonages. Standpat Club in Ohio At the birth of the Republican party in Ohio ncariy seventy years ago, a club was formed and called the Josua R. Gillings club. At that time it was natural that all of its members should be men. At the pres ent day it is natural that some of its members should be women, so matter of fact that at the Jast annual meet ing, Mrs. Charles M. Wilkins was elected president of the club for the ensuing year. Mrs. Wilkins is the wife of the common pleas judge of Trumbull county, Ohio. The honor accorded to Mrs, Wilkins is great, but the honor accorded to women is grent- or, because of the fact that Trum- tull county is the very heart of the standpatism. ee ie ers Zine should be cleaned with soap- suds and salt, then polished with kerosene. ‘There must be no more wars.

In reply to a question regarding changes ir. social conventions in France brought about by the war Mme Viviant said. “It would not be correct to belleve that what you call the social conven- tions surrounding the young girl of nce have been abandoned since the war, The custom of having young girlg accompanted in the utreet and to be properly escorted until thelr mar- riage is an old French custom, even a mark of honor in all Latin coun- tries. “There is no doubt that {t will only be modified by slow evolution. It is certain that the war, in having led many young girls to play a leading role in the home in the abgence of their fathers and brothers, has aided in bringing them into stronger relief and in developing their personalities. “The education of the young girl Is being mofe and more developed in France. She is trying more and more to place herself, through education, on the level of the man, taking the same courses and passing the same examinations. Special universities haye been ostablished for young girls; certain courses at the Sorbonne, some | of them of & very arduous or scientific or literary character, have classes al- most exclusively composed of young women. “All this evidences tho effort of the young French woman to tho modern a her work and spirit. If she wishes o be the equal of man it is necessary anpien <0 gain this right through thought and knowledge.” Impressions of American Women As to her impression of American women Mme Viviani had this to say. “J find it rather difficult to formu- late an impression on America and the American woman after so short a stay in the United States, and under conditions which in no wise favor the study of questions of such import: ance. “It would be temerity on my part to form with the facts at my disposal a conclusion of a general or social nature.

Kitchen Holds Leading Place In Household Its Four Walls Encc Encompasses the Factory of the Home—Light and Arrangement are Impor- tant Factors in the Kitchen Next to the bedroom, the kitchen is the most important room in the house. Within its four walls is encompassed the factory of the house, It ts here that the housewife carries on, either to the detriment or for the benefit of her family. Much depends upon the equipment and the arrangement of the room. ( One factor often neglected even in the most up-to-date kitchens 'is the matter of light. Frequently tho kitch- en is lighted by a single globe sus- pended from the ce: of the ceiling. {f the kitchen is tolerably large the housewife must often grope in the dark for things in the cupboard or pantry, and {t {s difficult to wash dishes in the half light. Many times, too, there is but one small window. A z0od plan is to have wall sockets above the sink in the pantry and near the stove, instead of the single drop light, Pinishing the kitchen walls in a light hade of paint or of -washable wall Japér; increases the light to a great logres.

Women’s Party Outlines Constitution Amendment WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. An- nouncement is made by the national woman's party that agreement had been reached in the form of proposed new amendment to the constitution “to cover all political, civil and legal discriminations against women.” The amendment as drafted reads: ~ “No political, civil or legal disabili- ties or inequalities on account of sex or on account of marriage, unless ap- plying alike to both sexes, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Legal authorities of national promi- nénce have approved the amendment and declared its constitutionality, said the announcement of the wom- an’s party, e328
