That was the | without chief indoor sport of many provinclal families in the days when garments were elaborated with such ornamen- tation, for home sewing was a funda- mental necessity then, It was tic- Klish work. .Far more difficult than twisting paper into spills that filled the jars in the kitchen and were placed on the corner of the mantel- piece in the living room. That was the kind of work the children were teld to do in that generation that made patch-work quilts. It have always lived in big if you have mever known the nd” fascination of a lkitchen where there was always a fire and a cook whom you could wheedle into giving you something forbidden, then you know not the art of twisting paper into spills or coving cable cords with materials that wouldn't slip on. But over there in Parls, up In the top floors, there sit girls doing this cable cord work by the yard, which is intended for nothing oid and anti- | quated. but something new, quite new. it is for the enveloping wraps France is putting out in the ons shown to the American These are the things we will soon see here. The cape in the sketch, which has just appeared in Paris, shows how the work is made to appear signifi- nt. It gives.full value in the heavy scrolls that catch the fullness of the black satin and hold in place the im- mense turn-over collar that can be fastened under the chin. It is in- ‘terosting that such a_wrap is built of satin, not taffeta, for the French depended much upon the latter fab- ric for their overgarments last suring. They Insisted _that they should ‘revive it for the Riviera sea- con. but they may have been dis- couraged by the cold reception it received from the Americans who were asked to wear it. So they sub- stituted satin. That fact is impor- tant. It ia a fabric which never tires the Americans. to judge by the phe- nomenal sale of it in this cous where the public rarelv asks if “it the latest fachion.” ~This, say the is the national American ¥y natural that wraps should widen along with skirts; one can’t met increased width for one the other:* a narrow cape cannot be gracefullv pulled over a voluminous ‘skirt. Therefore there i demznd for more and more ma. terial all along the line. The manu- facturers have happy davs ahead. The spring wraps will be wide and full. They will not he draped at the hem. They will give the effect of a gathered ruffle or a wide circu- lar flare. They have no fastening except at the high collar and a few of the newest ones are edged with black fur. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D. Noted Physician and Author. Objects That Carry Disease. | There is no reason to suppose th:ll} books, magazines, newspapers, lettel paper money or coins, stamps, flowers, pictures, ferns or growing plants ever convey disease germs from patient or isickroom to one outside. There is no risk involved in handling or using such objects after they have been {handled or used by an individual ill of any communicable or infectious| disease, unless the object is visibly and freshly soiled with saliva or other secretion. Nobody's health is endangered by the exchange of the] most tattered and filthy paper money but when a woman holds a coin in| her mouth while closing her pocket- book, and then hands that coin, fresh- Iy soiled with saliva, to the street car conductor, thémovie ticket seller Jor the newsboy, she is entitled in ex- ichange to one transfer liberally treat- jed with saliva, or one saliva moisten- {ed ticket or one newspaper with the inewsboy's trademark on it—the risk s fifty-fitty on all sides. Several vears ago Dr. Charles V.| | Chapin, the health superintendent of | {Providence, R. I, observed that “if | {saliva were indigo everything would ook blue.” The color scheme would | linclude pencils exchanged by school ildren, the common towel, the com- mon handkerchief in some families. I'the cigar cutter in cigar stores and Ithe cigars cut therewith, the pages 1of books turned with saliva moistened {fingers, paper money, letters, door- Iknobs, hanging straps in cars uscd for Human transportation, transfers, {playing cards, programs, theater seat {arms, the hands everybody shakes, fand eke the sidewalks all over town. { But no use getting blue about it. Just. { wash the stain away some half dozen jtimes a day. Soap and water hand { washing is the best kind of disinfection we have and is all the protection even a doctor or nurse in personal attend- ance on patients ill of infections dis- ease requires. Linen, clothing, furs, hats or_shoes that have been worn or used by an individual ill of diphtheria, scarlet fever, tuberculosis or any other known infec- tious disease are safely used by other ! persons, provided the articles are not visibly soiled. Ordinary laundering and { ironing renders linen perfectly safe in any case. A good airing and sunning will make clothing or furs safe to wear. jSince cancer is not an infectious or i communicable disease, there need be no anxiety about using such- articles after they have been used by an indi- vidual afflicted with cancer, provided ordinary cleanliness is regarded. Such ‘objects as soda fouyntain glasses and utensils, milk bottles, the common towel, the common bath tub, the cigar cutter, the common drinking cup, toys, ersonal toilet articles, utensils for giv- iing food or medicine, the barber’s or hairdressers’ brushes and combs and hands, and the hands of such food handlers as butchers, waiters, bakers, cooks and candy store clerks, must be regarded with suspicion as conveyors of disease by reason of contamination with saliva or other germ-laden secre- tion. Infantile paralysis, diphtheria, typhoid fever and epidemic meningitis are frequently conveyed by healthy! “carriers.” Hand washing ought to be a more important rite than we make it in lunch- | 100ms, restaurants and soda fountains. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Near Sight. T have known of several persons past middle age who, having worn glasses for near sight for several years find they | can read newspaper print without their glasses. Is there any medicine or treat- ment one can use to hasten or bring about this result, so that the glasses may be discarded?—(J. W. M.) Answer—About middle age the gradual stretching .process which nearsighted cyes undergo ccases and the near- sightedness no loriger tends to increase as it has done for years before. Near- sighted persons. with concave lenses at all times can see near objects clearly, such as newspaper print, if tho eyes are'not astigmatic, 5o théy can gener- ally read well lafe in life, after tha progress of the nearsightedness is over. This accounts for the populat notion that nearsighted eyes grow stronger and vision improves with age: It is In- jurious to the nearsighted eye to use it without proper concave lenses; it is a mistake to_think that going without the lasses helps to “strensthen the 3 Like ‘Too Many Others.

I have received a letter from a bride, reading: “Please tell me, through the columnh, how to stew Do you put it in the pot whole. and do you use hot or cold water?” This letter shows me that brides need ‘just how" chats on cooking. I hope the following onc will be helpful. How to Prepare a Chicken for Fricasseeing.—\When you g0 to your buteher to buy a chicken, tell him to clean it for you. When you ggt it home you must cut it up, if you are going "to fricassee it. & his is not difficult if your knife is very sharp. Begin by cutting off the legs at the first joint. Then separate them at the second joint (this is easy if the legs are bent). Next, cut off the wings and disjoint thém. Separate the breast from the back: divide the back into four pieces and slit down the breast, cutting in in two. The breast halves may be even subdivided, as this makes the white meat go tarther. Now you have your chicken cut up and next thing is to put these pieces in a kettle with four tablespoons of drippings; let them brown slightly on both sides, but do not let them burn. When slightly browned, add enough bolling water to cover. Season with one tablespoon of salt, half teaspoon of pepper and a bunch of lrerbs. Let simmer until tender. A fowl will require three hours, probably, before it is tender and a chicken about one and one-half hours. Before it is done make a sauce by melting two tablespoons of butter” over the fire | and rubbing four tablespoons of flour into it; add two cups of the liquid in which the chicken is boiling and sea- son to suit taste with salt and pep- per. Serve with the chicken pieces arranged on toast or on split quick- biscuit and this sauce poured over all. To stew chicken: Stewed chicken is made of cooked chicken.
