"There you go off on your usual tan-

"How often have I told you that most
of the household machinery advertised
la so dlanppolutlng?"
Mrs. Schoileld ahook her head In-
credulously She was used to her hus-
band's vagaries, a* she considered
them. Hadn't she tried a patent wash-
ing machine, nnd didn't It wear out

swindled again and again by oily-
tongued agents with button hole ma-
chines, rug machines, atocklng-darn-
ers, carpet-cleaners, br'-adcutters,
porch-scrubbers, silver burnishers—
everything which a gullible creature
could be blarneyed into buying—ex-
cept a dish-washer? She drew the
lino at destruction of her precious
china. Not one piece of It should ever
be sacrificed to this Moloch of modern
Invention.
So Intent did she become In her re-
flections upon those experiences that
she lost consciousness of her skeptical
husband's presence, and, indeed, of
everything except the hired girl ques-
tion which had been uppermost in her
mind for a fortnight.
Suddenly the bell rang,*' She arose
and went to the front hail door. No
one was there. Then muttering im-
patiently over the steps her mistake
had cost her, she made her way to
the kitchen door.
"Who's there?"
"Good evening, Mrs. Schofleld.
Don't you think, ma'am, that an elec-
tric bell outfit with an annunciator
would soon pay for itself in the steps
it saved?'
The voice was pleasantly modulat-
ed, yet it spoke with a briskness and
assurance which indicated an aggres-
sive owner.
Oh, dear, another canvasser! she
felt sure, instead of an applicant for
Katy's vacant place.
"I've heard the batteries freeze and
leak and are so m%:h trouble," she
politely answered the caller, as she
seated her. dreading another combat
with an agent.
"If neglected," admitted the other,
"but the real trouble is infinitesimal if
made a part of a well-regulated sys-
tem."
"But servants are so apt to be neg-
lectful. and one can't think of every-
thing one's self."
"You speak of the old servant. She
was a creature of muscle alone, and
untrained for thinking. But now it is
different."
"Then," went on the caller, "the
electric doors are the thing between
dicing room and kitchen. They open
automatically when you step on the
mat, and avoid all the rattle and bam;
of opening with the elbow when a tray
of dishes is In the hand, or kicking
with the foot."
"How persistent she is?" thought
Mrs. -Schofleld. "She really means to
lit out the house, I guess."
"And the dumb waiters are run in
the same way now,'' went on the talk-
er, as if unconscious of causing any !
annoyance. "H< ally the thing now is !

eled after ihe vanishing gun carriage.
I suppose. No reason ("hat the appli-
ances of war should surpass those of ,
peace and domestic happiness, it
saves both si ate and labor. Vou press

She paused an instant for breath,
and Mrs. Schoiield shook her head
negatively, intimating that all this

Barbarous sacrifice*! The level f
those who work In offices!" echoed ,
Mr*. Schofleld, almost unconsciously.
She was almo«t startled by the vim
llarlty of these Idea* with thoso Mr.
Schofleld had been advancing.
"To bo sure," broke In the glib- •
tongued agent. "That's just what It

was cracking nuts with one's teeth to
save the cost of nut-crackers. While
the husbands and brothers and their
fortunate assistants were relieved of
all drudgery by labor-saving inven-
tions, the wife and mother and sister
struggled on in the old crude, barbar-
ous ways, sacrificing complexion,
back, nerves, health, everything. No
wonder it was so much harder to
keep domestic help than office help,
when a woman had to get down on her
knees and rub the skin off her
knuckles scrubbing porches, while
men sat on cushioned spring seats
and simply thought, and obedient ma-
chines did the rest."
"Pardon me, I will call—"
"A moment, pray—but now you can
use the same gas and electric motor
which propels the laundry machinery,
dish-washer, etc., to run the patent
scrubber and sweeper, while all wo-
man needs do is give it a directing

"I must call Mr. Schofleld. I can't
quite understand. You mention such
a bewildering variety of appliances."
"To be sure; modern science has
come to the aid of the housekeeper in
such a beneficent way. And we are
familiar with all of them, you know,
from the egg-beater, mincer and hash-
er, to the automatic wall-cleaner and
j bed-maker."
"Do you really sell all these? How
can one mind master so much ma
chinery?"
"Sell? I sell nothing, madam. I
fear I do not understand you. But
why should not a woman's mind b^
mistress of machinery, as well as .1
man's, master?"
"Pray explain, then, the object of
your call."
"Is it possible I have been talking
in the dark? And you mistake me for
an agent? Madam, I read your adver-
tisement for domestic help. I am, I
may say, the 'new hired girl; the firs- ;

HIT CHAT
RACEFUL indeed
to somo faces ara
the new shapes of
the cloche hats,
which show a va-
riation from the
ubiquitous a 11-
around shape.
They are turned
up slightly at the
left side, close to
the front, and as
a result lose their
quaint "mush
room" look and
gain In smartness.
Satin and taffetas
hats will be all
the rage this win-
ter. especially sat-
in for occasions of ceremony. In all
! cases the material will be drawn tight-
j ly over the shape and the best mill!-
! ners use some mysterious paste to
[ make the material stick close. Ama-
I teurs may be pleased to know that the
I stuff used by makers of waterproof re-
: pairs Is an excellent thing for making
thick satin cling to a hat shape, but,
of course, sufficient time must be giv-
en for the distinctly disagreeable odor
i to wear off.
t Another new hat which is making a
j strong bid for favor, is that with the
brim much broader at the sides than
at front or back; In fact, the front and
back of these new hats are quite
j short, and the sides jut out in a most
: imposing manner. These hats are not
j every woman's wear; they demand a
■ special style of hairdressing. The hair
j must be carried back over large friz-
i ettes at the sides and dressed very
• loosely. The whole effect is rather
quaint, as the trimmings on these hats
follow the outline of the shape, with
the result that at the front and back
the hat looks very large and en pro-
file it seems as small as a toque!
And yet another novelty—this time
In the world of veils. The newest veil
is a length, measuring a yard and a
half, of silk net covered with large
chenil spots and worn In bird-cage
style, without any edge or border!
Personally, I think these veils exceed-
ingly unfinished and not too becom-
ing, but tbey are all the rage and
adopted by the best-dressed women.
This veil in the new shade of prune
Is in great favor, and worn with a
black hat it is not without charm;
dark green is also much worn, and, of
course, taupe. The taupe filet veils—
bordered with tucks of chiffon are still
In favor, but there is no doubt about
the newest thing being the simple
length of silk net, covered with very
large cbenll spots.
We are elowly, but surely, saytog
•u revoir to the ultar-long veil, except
for motoring. It has enjoyed a long
and successful day and, notwithstand-
ing its fine qualities, it could not re-
main in favor for ever.
Hats are very much more expen-
sive this autumn than before. £vsa
ihe simplest of felt outing hats has
gone up a peg.
It Is the most fatal of all economies
to Invest lu a cheap hat. The price
need not bo high, but the velvet or felt
should bo of the best, for then a wet-
ting will not Injure It, dust may bo
readily brushed from It. It retains Its
color and Is always satisfactory. Bet-
ter have an expensive foundation and
little trimming than good trimming
and poor felt or velvet.. In felts the
soft French ones are the only first-
class felts. In outing hats where a
stiff felt is required, one often has to

take it, and while the best stiff felt is
not as good as the average soft felt,
there are different grades In it. and
the best should always be purchased.
Trimmings should, of course, also be
of good quality, and if one cannot af-
ford really fine ostrich plumes that
will outlast several hats, It is better to
get wings or quills and use fine vel-
vets.
Quill-trimmed hats cannot be worn
with formal and elaborate costumes,
so that of necessity some sort of
plumes or rare wings are necessary.

The first costume displayed above Is one of the new striped and long-
coated variety. The pattern is a soft green against a dark grey ground inter-
woven with faint flecks of color. The coat is all bound with braid, and
further adorned with buttons of the striped tweed centered with braid; a
green velvet collar, and a waiatcoat of green cloth, where fine braiding Is
wrought in scrolls, being further decorative details, while the silk lining must
by no means be forgotten. On the skirt graduated bands of cloth, where the
stripes are arranged In contrasting form, are edged with stitching, and each
finished off with one of those effective buttons so popular now.
The other costume represents an equally leading mode. It is made of fine
face cloth, the coat, silk lined and the braiding which forms its chief trimming
being of considerable elaboration, the back, too, being entirely covered by the
lines of silken braid, whose graceful inward curve at the waist and outward
spread on the little basque have such a good effect on the figure. It looks
especially well In nut-brown cloth with braidings in black, and a contrast of
bright green velvet on the collar which Is edged first with a fine white and
gold, and then with the broad black braid, cuffs to match holding in the
fulness of the sleeves below the elbow. Then the almost inevitable and very
decorative waistcoat repeats the note of green and the pretty scheme of
braiding, while as to the skirt, its panel pleatings are connected by a braided
device, the whole arrangement being entirely novel and vastly smart.

Liquor She Floated In.
On their arrival In Now Zealand,
according to London Tlt-Blts, a party
of English people drank the health of
the vehsel which had brought them
lafely to their destination. One of the
gentlemen who wns asked to join la
.'his ceremony replied: 'No, I am ft
teetotaller; but I'll willingly drink suc-
cess to the ship In the liquor she
floats in." A friend disappeared and
returned with a glass of water. After
a complimentary apostrophe to the
skip, the recipient tossed the water
off at once, but Immediately splut-
tered: "Ugh—ah—oh—this is—oh—
what on earth is this?" "That?" said
his friend. "Why, you've drunk success
to our noble ship in the identical
liquor she floats In."
Term* That Seem Strange.
There are many puzzling differences
between Scottish and English law
terms. For instance, bankruptcy is
in Scotland "an act of sequestration,"
a solicitor is either a "writer" or a
"law agent," the argument in a case
Is the "debate," and assizes Is the
Jury, a wrongdoer Is a "delinquent," an
Idiot—In Scottish law—is "a fatuous
person." aBd a burglary is (with true
Scottish caution), "housebreaking
with an aggravation." Finally, an an.
thor is, in Scotland, not a person who
writes, but the vender or seller of real
property, from whom the title to it
Is derived.
Parsnip Stew.
Allow for one |>ound of fresh par-
snips one pound fat salt pork and one
pound potatoes. Chop tho pork fine,
pare the potatoes and bIIco thin;
scrape the parsnips and cut In thin
slices. Put a layer of pork in a stew
pan, then one of parsnips. Repeat
with pork, potatoes and parsnips until
all have been used. Cover with cold
water, season with salt, pepper and
celery salt, thicken with a little Bos-
ton cracker rolled line and set on the
back of the stove where It can cook
gently for three-quarters of an hour.

Tempering Flatiron*.
The first right of a new flatiron la
to be well tempered. To do this it
should be allowed to heat gradually,
and stay hot for several hours in sue-
cession without use, then it should
gradually' cool and bo set aside. After
this it should be allowed to heat only
when wanted for use.
The habit which some housewives
have of "putting on the flats," at all
flmes, leat perchance they should
need them, will eventually spoil the
