THE BINGHAMTON PRESS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1910. FASHION WOMAN'S HOUSEHOLDS TOPICS PAGE The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON OME years ago I knew a young newspaper man who was almost as tinually "down in in a the state of mouth." mind and countenance that can best be described The "upward curves," that Ella Flagg Young says led her on to success, were almost an unknown quantity with him. He thought the world an altogether dreary and futile place to be in, and held, and very frequently expressed, dark opinions of his father and mother for bringing him thither without consulting his He spouted Omar Khayyam and Schopenhauer, of course, and, to all who would listen, related the various bad strokes of luck that were continually befalling him, from the indifference of a lady love to his affection, to the shabby and worn condition, after three wearings, of a rubber raincoat for which he had paid an exorbitant A few weeks ago I met him again. He was a man transformed, smiled frequently, quoted James Whitcomb Riley instead of Schopenhauer, and in an hour's conversation never once mentioned the thoughtlessness of his parents in failing to find out that he would rather not have come. Of course, I demanded the reason at once, my woman's nose for romance scenting a happy ending to his love affair.

But it wasn't that--she was as unfeeling as ever. Nor was it my second guess- material prosperity. On the contrary, he had a poorly paying position which he expected he might lose at any minute. "What then?" I asked. "Well, I'll tell you, Miss Cameron," he replied, "I studied it out and I decided that, as long as I couldn't have what I liked, I'd like what I had.

As long as I couldn't make things come just the way I wanted them I'd take what came along and manage somehow to enjoy it; and, do you know, you always can if you put 3 your energy into that instead of into fretting because things aren't different." A rather old idea? You've heard the substance of that before? Yes, so have but the reason I tell you about it is that it was more than an IDEA with him. It was something that had ACTUALLY MADE HIM HAPPIER, SOMETHING THAT HAD MADE HIM A MORE LIVABLE PERSON both to himself and other Read his philosophy over again in the light of that realization. Or if you don't care so much for the way he states it, how do you like this prettier and more religious way of putting somewhat the same feeling? "Then, whatever winds may blow, Some heart is glad to have it so. My little bark is not aloneTen thousand fleets from every zone Are out upon a thousand seas; What blows for one a favoring breeze May drive another with the shock Of doom, upon some hidden rock. So I do not dare to pray For winds to waft me on my way: But leave it to a Higher Will To or speed me--trusting still That He who launched my little bark Will never, never fail, Whatever breezes may prevail, To bring me, every danger past, Into the desired haven at last.

Then whatever winds may blow, My heart is glad to have it so. Blow it east or blow it west, The wind that blows--that wind is best." Pad Common The Man in the Writing Room Robert Bretigny was walking ly toward the Ibis Club. He was, as usual, in very best of humor. He had just had lunch with two of his very best friends and he knew that in his pocket he had a letter from the best and sweetest girl in all the world. If he could get a moment to himself he would read it over again at the club, though to tell the truth had already read it five times.

"Hello, Robert!" cried a gentleman he met near the club. "How is the girl?" "Fine," replied Robert, and blushed a little. "She is not very popular in the club, I can tell you, though. You were not there last night, and we feel sore when you let a girl come between you and Ibis." "It will be all right when I am married," Robert answered. "Will it? Are you quite sure? I have heard the same thing before, but you don't know life.

But I must hurry on. I am not as fortunate as you, who have no business to bother about." A group of men greeted Robert as he entered the smoking room at the club. "How are you, Robert? What. will you have?" somebody cried. "Just wait a moment.

I have got to look at the ticker," he replied. He went into the next room and the tape run through his fingers carelessly. Suddenly he saw a figure startled him: "Amalgamated Rubber, He stared at the figures for some moments before their meaning was quite clear to him. He was ruined, hopelessly ruined. About a week before he had gone to his old schoolmate, Chartres', and asked him to give him a good office, on the Bourse, as he was about to marry and like to add a little to his fortune.

"Put all the cash you can get together in Amalgamated Rubber; is quoted at 55 now, but it is bound to go up to 70." He had taken Chartres' advice and bought rubber for all the money he had, and even borrowed a few thousand. And now he was entirely out, even if he might be able cleaned, back what he had borrowed. 'But there was Yvonne. He could think of asking her to marry, him every now, luxury. accustomed There as was she nothing to do but release her from her promise.

For a moment he felt bitter against Chartres, but his sense of justice told him he had only himself to blame. He squared his shoulders and went back into the smoking room. "Well. Robert, have you made a fortune?" "Lost everey sou. I am dead broke." Robert replied in his usual cheerful voice.

"I will show them at least that I can beaer my loss like a man." he thought. Everybody laughed, and while Robert Bretigny sipped his vermouth and 22. WOMEN OF THE DAY AUGUSTA BELASCO. Miss Belasco, daughter of David Belasco, the playwright, is engaged to be married to William Elliott who made so strong an Impression as the clever young lawyer in the stirring drama, "Madame Miss Belasco is the second daughter of the playwright to announce her engagement within a year. His other daughter, Reina, was married to Morris Gost recently.

Gussie is pretty and bright, and is a favorite among her father's theatrical friends. to which he stared, evidently very much distressed. "He seems to be in trouble, too," Robert thought, "and perhaps is waiting for to leave the room." The thought made him laugh quite loud, but the other did not seem to notice it at all. Robert finished his letter to Yvonne and then wrote a few lines to his lawWhen he had finished he looked yer. the other, who was still sitting in at the position.

Robert asked. me The stranger did not stir, and he the question, but with the repeated same resellow must either be deaf or mad," Robert thought, stood for a "I while wonder gazing out of is the going window. to witay here Just all then afternooniow looked up and stared at Robert with a wild expression in his eyes which confirmed the young man's belief that the stranger must be out of his mind. "It is a nuisance to have insane people walking about like that," he thought as he walked out of the room, right into the arms of an old colonel, who had been a friend of his father. "Look here, Robert, my boy, I have just made a nice little haul in rubber, will celebrate my good luck in SO we cold bottle.

I sold a shares of Amalgamated at 15 points over the price yesterday." "But rubber is way down, Colonel; are you quite sure you are right?" "As sure as I am alive. at the ticker." Mechanically Robert picked up the tape and the first words that struck his eyes were: "Correction: Amalgamated Rubber read instead of 15 Robert stared at the figures, unable to believe his good fortune. "Well, I was right, my boy. Was I not? But where have you been keeping yourself all morning? I was told that you were at the club, but could not find you anywhere." "I was in the little writing room," Robert mumbled. "Oh, that's why.

never liked that room since poor Lascelles shot himself there about 12 years ago." "What look like?" teeth like a red wolf's. He lost heavily "A tall, fellow, with Longchamps and shot himself in "Good Lord!" Robert gasped, "the man in the writing Star. ENGLISH ECCLES CAKE.

ATTRACTIVE KITCHENS Dr. Wiley, of pure food fame, 1s credited with this bit of advice to women: "Make your kitchen the attractive place of your home. Put up your hangings and your works of art out there, and when guests come take them into your wholesome, beautiful sanitary and artistic kitchen, with the roust beef, the fresh chickens and the green vegetables interspersed with the hangings and the table covers, instead of conducting these guests Into a drawing hasn't been aired for week." writhe idea of the doctor 8.8 to kitchen decoration will differ quite materially from that of the modern woman who seeks a sonitary kitchen. She does not want hangings and table covers which will hold odors and dust from which the kitchen can not be altogether free. She prefers clean, walls.

The cook books even in a drawer instead of bookcase on the wall, especially if the family washing is done in the kitchen, as it is in thousands of homes. And her table has no covering which demands constant washing, but, instead, has a white oilcloth or an uncovered wooden scoured-to-whiteness top, or better still, a white marble top. The decorations mainly shiny saucepans and big spoons hung on the walls, with some pretty rice, sugar or spice jugs on shelves. The bust of Clytie and the Maid of Lille and the Corots are displayed elsewhere in the house, and the roast beef, the chickens and all the fresh vegetables are reposing in the refrigerator or the closet or some other handy place until they are to be prepared for oven. Instead of interspersing meat and fresh vegetables with the hangings, why not string green peppers on red ribbons or red peppers on green ribbons, put IN THE KITCHEN If fate chains you to the kitchen this Summer, aim to make yourself as comfortable as possible.

Insist upon a gas stove if you have to put the family on one meal a day until it is paid for. You will pay out more in doctor bills for heat tration if you stick to a range. An electric fan is also a good investment, and screens for doors and windows with awnings if on the sunny side of the street. Do not feel you must keep on your feet to be a good cook. Wash dishes sitting down.

With 8. little practice it can be as quickly done as standing. Have a high stool made so you can sit at the ironing board. This saves backs, tempers and nerves, consequently heat is less felt. fitted Have old rocking chair with leaves attached to the arms by means of hinges.

Ensconced in such a chair with the wings up to hold vegetables, mixing bowl or whatever utensils are needed preparation of meals becomes a luxury rather than drudgery. If there is a shady porch, do as much of the preparation as possible outdoors. Flies should not prove troublesome if you do not let peelings and other refuse accumulate. Most comfort depends upon systematic management. Get up early and get the worst of the work out of the road before the heat of the day.

Desserts for dinner, sauces and ices can all be made in the cool of morning. On very hot days serve nothing but cold meals. These will be much more appetizing than hot cooked things and will be far easier on the queen of the kitchen. If your kitchen floor is tiled or of unpainted boards the room will be kept much cooler if it is scrubbed with cold water each morning after the breakfast things are out of a the way. BERWICK SPONGE CAKE.

Call John H. Stafford, 1 119 Court Binghamton: pumpkins on the shelves and decorate a reproduction of Raphael with a festoon of dried onions? That would certainly bring tears to the eyes of the artistic beholder. All joking aside, there are hundreds of women who now ask their morning callers to step Into the kitchen for her visit. Where is the city "flatter" even who hasn't at least one neighbor who runs in at the back door? But the modern woman, especially the lady of the modern house 1 in which l9 not large enough to accommodate the family at meals, and which therefore only a kitchen, considers this her workroom In which she performs tasks which are of vital importance to the family. It is doubtful if this woman will take to art hangings in her kitchen.

Instead, she demands plainness and convenlence. In some of the modern kitchens the walls are panelled 80 that there are no corners in which dust can lodge, and certainly the housekeeper will not introduce stenciled or plush hangings. But it is important that the kitchen should be a cheery place. The woman who selects 8 house with a gloomy kitchen, on the theory that anything will do for that room, makes a grave mistake. There should be attractively colored walls, neat white curtains at the windows and room should be furnished with the one aim, to allow housekeeper to accomplish greatest the amount of work with the fewest possible steps.

We wonder if the interested doctor would like to have us tie ribbons on the broom handles, stencil the scrubbing pails and decorate the dishpan with handpainted scenes. But it is encouraging that the masculine mind has condescended to take the kitchen into consideration at all. MACKEREL STUFFED Two mackerel, one ounce breadcrumbs, one-half ounce finely chopped parsley, one-half a teaspoon of mixed herbs, egg, pepper, salt and a littie grated lemon peel, two ounces of drippings, one-half ounce raspings; split the mackerel down the back and remove roe; throw the roe into boiling water for one minute, then chop it and add it to the herbs, parsley, breadcrumbs and seasoning. Mix with the egg and spread over one of the mackerel. Lay other on top, place in a deep baking tin, cover with a greased paper and put two ounces of dripping on the top.

Bake about one-half hour, basting well over the paper; when done place the fish on a hot dish, garnish with alternate rows of parsley and raspings. Serve with anchovy sauce poured around.

This one fact alone means that your building can be heated with 10 per cent. less fuel than 11 plastered with any "sanded" goods on the market.

A fact you can not afford to overlook. biTho trowel absence of this sand material makes as it smooth a skim coat, thus doing away with necessity for same, providing you wish to paper at once. Compared with other plasters as to density, elasticity and firmness, it is as vulcanized rubber compared with porus crockery. It undergoes no change after once dry, except, like cement, it grows stronger with age. It will not burn or disintegrate by fire, thus being a perfect protection for wood frame work and lath.

It is more a non of sound than any hardwall plaster on the market, and saves repairs in wallpaper, decorations and replastering, for it will not fall off, discolor, crumble or crack. For public buildings Its acoustic properties are perfect. It will take on any tint or color of paint, kalsomine or other preparation readily, as it tains acid to eat them.

Lowell School of Business listened to the chatter of his friends he thought of what he was going to do. came to the conclusion that as he never learned to earn a living, the best thing would be to blow his brains out. But where? He thought of his own apartment, but that would be too great a shock to his old housekeeper, Mme. Goutrand, who was very fond of him, and had known him since he was a boy.
