'2 FOR THE WOMEN OF, TODAY AND TOMORROW Edited by Mrs. A Man's Advice. "Don't gossip about other people," said The Man gravely. "Why should you care what they do? You never mow all the circumstances in the case; It is seldom that the members of the family ever do that, and an outsider is perfectly incapable of sitting' in Judgment on another person's affairs. What 3oes it matter to you if there is somebody to whom he seems attentive? What does it matter to you if you discover something which you consider jueer about her? It isn't your business to spread what you believe to be true if It is unfavorable; and there is always the chance that you are mistaken.

You are never sorry for having kept still when you could have added a comment which would have made people sit up. That desire to make people Bit up is often the undoing of the best of us." "Then there is that word continued The Man. "I honestly believe it should be eliminated fronTthe language. The fact that somebody remarks that such or such a thing is 'queer' has had more damning influence upon people's reputation than almost any other comment that could nave been made. 'Don't you think it' is queer about Mrs.

Blank and Jack Sp and asked one woman of another In a street car. A person who was just getting off heard that much of the question and hear the reply. That person didn't wait to hear any more. She proceeded to go about among her friends and enemies and distribute the Information thdt Mrs. Blank and Jack So and So were dreadfully talked about.

She heard It in the car yesterday. "Once a friend of Mrs. Blank's pressed the gossiping woman for the name of her informant, and expressed so much incredulity about the whole story that finally in desperation the listener told the identity of the two women whom she had overheard. "Mrs. Blank's friend was the real thing, and instead of going to her friend and making her crazy she set out on a still hunt for the origin of the tale, which was growing larger every minute.

After some difficulty she managed to catch one of the women who had been in the first conversation and asked her what the whole matter had been about. The woman had some difficulty in recalling the circumstance and still more difficulty in remembering just her exact words. At last she cried, 'Oh, I have It! I said, Don't you think it was queer about Mrs. Blank and Jack So and and Molly asked why, and I said that they were both trying to buy Mr. Jinks' horses and neither knew who the other person was that they were overbidding and that as a consequence Mrs.

Blank had to pay about two prices for the team, when if Jack had known he was running dp the price for somebody he knew he'd have come urf. But why do vou want to "Of course when the explanation was made that a fragment of conversation had resulted in blackening a friend's name and that it had been done through the medium of an idle, malicious tongue, there was a great deal of trouble for somebody. In this case It happened that a woman had a friend loyal enough to trace out the matter. Such luck isn't always afforded. The carelessness with which some people talk over personal affairs of others and repeat mere guesses; the ingenuity with which they piece this and that together In order to be the center of interest for the moment persuades me that there are some deucedly mean folks in the world.

Women are special offenders in this. They tell every thing they know in uie cuis, shops, before the clerks, in the theater and every public place. In a town the size of Scranton, where the names of most persons are known to nearly everybody, this practice is always dangerous. I wish you would say something about It," said The Man, It What a Carfcondale Woman Does. The Carbondale Leader says that Mm H.

H. Pierce, of Wyoming street, does the major part of receiving taxes for the school department, and that she has shown remarkable adaptation to this work. She is quick and accurate at figures and the collector ship at her finger tips and so is able to answer at once all questions put to her by the taxpayers. She finds no difficulty in lining out the receipts of the many persons who call at her home annually, in fact even those who feel incensed over the high rate of taxation adopted by the school board find it hard to make a kick In her engaging presence. "It Is all right as long as they come to the office," she said the other day, "but I don't think I would like to go out collecting." Initials in Embroidery.

The girl who wants to be very much up to date and who is clever with her needle has all her fine lingerie blouses embroidered with hor initials not obtrusively; not In the least like the Peter Thompson monograms, but In delicate letters Bomewhcre In an Inconspicuous Place. Out of sight though the Initials may be you can bo sure that her girl friends are going to know all about them and be properly envious If they haven't done the same if the girl Is very clever indeed and writes a pretty hand, the Initials are her own writing, daintily enibroia ered. The Porch Young Man's Advice. Don't wear tan stockings and black black stockings and tan always notice them and tnvrlnir note. Don't wriggle.

Tou may think it Is a rretty gait but It Isn't. That wriggly, squirmy cootehe eootchee walk that some really nice girls affect Isn't a credit to their modesty or good taste. Don't giggle too much. I know of one case where a girl lost a very good chance of getting a fine husband be cause she giggled at the wrong time when ho was proposing to her. No, I wasn't the man.

Don't bo too free and easy. The B. Penman. men and the girls who are with you may understand but there are always others who don't. The girls who laugh or talk too noisily in public are often misjudged.

Don't be too Indifferent. It's usually affectation and the affected girl is always a bore. It's almost as bad to be too affected as to be too free and easy. Don't roll your sleeves up or wear elbow sleeves to show that you've been to the seashore. The spectacle of tan colored elbows and hands Isn't one thai the average man considers as charming as many girls seem to think.

The discrepancy between a spick and span white dress and those alligator skln llke arms somehow is unenticing. It It It Every Girl Under Twelve Can Learn to Shut the door, and shut it softly. Keep your own room In tasteful order, i Have an hour for rising, and rise. Always know where your things are. Never let a button stay off twenty four hours.

Never let a day pass without doing something to make somebody comfortable. Learn to make bread as well as cake. Never go about with your' shoes unbuttoned. How to Boy Meat There are a few rules to remember in buying beef, mutton or poultry which the inexperienced housekeeper does well to bear in mind. To test beef, press it down with the thumb.

If It rises quickly the meat is good. Beef should be fine grained, of a bright red color, with streaks of clean, white looking fat. The meat will be tough unless there is plenty of fat. Mutton should be dark colored with the fat a clear white. Veal should be fat.

Soup meat should have as little fat as possible and come from the round; and also meat intended for beef tea. In buying fish the gills should be red. Poultry should have smooth legs and short spurs, with the feet bending easily and the eyes bright. If the fowl has begun to turn blue it is not good. Grouse and quail both have white flesh; the pinnated grouse, however, has dark flesh.

Birds with white meat take about ten minutes longer to cook than those with dark meat. Several Recipes The baked custard Is easily varied by the addition of a few finely chopped nut meats. A spoonful of whipped meat on the individual cusiara gives it a festive air. An Ice flavored with preserved ginger syrup and finely ground nut meats is a great favorite among the members of a set of college girls and men. A tasty entree or luncheon dish is made of stewed tomatoes and finely ground peanuts.

Mix the two, season with butter, salt and pepper, turn into ramekins, cover the tops with buttered crumbs and bake. A little gift that delighted an Jnvalid the other day was an egg cosy1 made of a little covered basket wadded and lined daintily. The cover was also wadded and lined. A water color picture of a cackling hen was scrawled across the top. The morning boiled egg will hereafter come up to the sick room in its basket.

Cherry and plum juices mixed make a delicious sherbet. The juice of a lemon or two Is always an improvement. A syrup of sugar boiled with water enough to keep it from burning should sweeten the juices. The ice has more "body" seasoned in this way than when dryi sugar is used. After the ice is frozen and after the aasner com stir In the stiffly beaten white of an egg, which has been whipped llgnt with a tablespoonful of powdered sug ar.

This also adds character. To devil one dozen crabs, place two taVtlannnnfllls of nunfoH or Duller, iwu in dry flour, salt and white pepper to taste, one half teaspoonful dry mustard, one half teaspoonful sweet marjoram, ninth of ground mace, three totilconnnnfu vvorceBiersuu ui cook ten minutes, stirring continually, add yolks of two eggs, one teaspoonful chopped parsley ana one mm pints of cream; cook five minutes, mix In crab meat, and when halt inch above the top. bread and cook the same as a croquette. Tomato and Green Corn Salad. Dig out the centres of pared and chilled tomatoes with a sliver spoon; fill the cavities with boiled green corn cut from the cob and seasoned with salt and popper, and set on the ice until perfectly cold, then mixed with French or mayonnaise dressing.

Arrange the tomatoes upon an ice cold dish lined with crisp lettuce, and leave on the ice until wanted. Pass more mayonnaise with the salad. Tomsto and Nut Salad. Prepare the tomatoes as In the last recipe. Have ready a pint or more of nut meats, blanched by pouring boiling water over them, then skinned, and when cold cut into dice and mixed with mayonnaise dressing.

Fill the tomatoes with this. Serve on lettuce leaves. Tomatoes and Green Peas. Select large. Arm tomatoes, peel them, cut off the tops and remove the seeds and soft pulp, leaving a thick outer wall of the firm flesh of the to i mato.

Fill each cup thus made with cold boiled green peas and place It upon a leaf of lettuce. Arrange these In a salad bowl or upon a platter, and. In serving, heap a tablespoonful of mayonnaise on each cup, or pass the may onnunee In a bowl or pitcher, In which is placed a spoon or smnll ladle, and let each guest help himself.

He had hopes of a cure and many friends awaited his return but he still carried his stick when home was reached and informed his friends that after a thorough examination the great Verpillot acknowledged there was only one remedy that could effect a cure, and that was an operation to have the leg cords stretched which would require months of treatment, and even then his entire recovery would be problematical.

Brutal servces Will De conaucieu at the Church of Peace on Prospect avenue this evening. Alaska and Norway. A country similar to Norway, though of far greater extent, is Alaska, says the Portland Oregonian.

tne ciimaie, resources and physical features of the two countries are much the same. Alaska has more resources in minerals, timber and fisheries, and pernaps equal or greater resources in agriculture. But Alaska is a new country. Its develop ment has but Just begun. Norway, on the other hand, has been Inhabited by the ancestors of the present population from time Immemorial.

Its population is one of the hardiest and Dest. races among the sons of men. The climate of Alaska on an ua southern coasts Is, on the whole, milder than that of Norway. And the inhabitable area of Alaska is far greater. Nor way has an area of m.uuu squuio miles, three fourths uninhabitable.

Alaska has an area of more than 500, 000 souare miles and an inhabitable area of perhaps 120,000 square miles. Norway has a population 01 i.iw. This population occupies a territory scarcely exceeding 30,000 square miles. Almost the whole population Is on or near the coast line. A lofty mountain chain, a little back from the coast, as In Alaska, cuts off the short line from the interior.

There Is some agriculture, hut. measured by our standards, not much. The principal Industries are fishing. navigation, cattle raising, dairying and lumbering. In southern Norway agriculture is an Important In terest, but breadstuns are own ported.

Particulars above enum Alaska has resources greater Nnrwav. and mineral re immsPlv a renter extent. The climates are similar but that of n.i, Tflltlnf Norway for judgment and for comparison, wo be Heve that the time will come when Alaska will have 3,000,000 inhabitants and be one of the most Important states of the American t'nlon. Both countries are crowded down by mountain chains to narrow strips on The ocean, but, Alaska has much more than Norway, and nat ural resdurce, far greater, doubted lv many yeurs must elapse before the development of Aliaka. will equal hat hut it will come.

The Dockstader octette rendered several selections in excellent voice and Lew Dockstader made a hit with his song, "Everybody But Father." The first part, which was elaborately staged, was concluded with Dockstader's original "The Heaven Born Banner," eung by Harry Ellis.

Neil O'Brien created a great deal 01 merriment in a skit, introducing the troubles of a floor walker in a depart ment store and the show concluded with a melodramatic sketch entitled 'Moses."

'NEW YORK, Aug. 23. The developments favorable to peace in the par leyings between Russia and Japan produced an instantaneous effect today upon financial (exchanges everywhere. True, there was no certainty that peace was at hand, but the practically unanimous judgment of banking and financial interests appeared to be that if the amended terms of settlement as proposed by Japan were correctly stated in the newspaper dispatches, Russia would be able to find small excuse for not accepting them.
