TO-DAY AND TOMORROW

' From "A Message to Women." | I should like to see woman, with ajl her modernity, recognising that '- she has a part to play in life wholly distinct from that of a man, and that » her yirtues are the gentler virtues, and her main functions more beautiful, as they are less coarse than those of man. ‘Most men can only be saved by their -womenfolk, and those men who are ~ @ammed are often damned by them, besides. If there is ever to be an age of chivalry again, it will be because Woman will set man an ideal to which man must aspire before she will consent to be his partner throngh life. Frankly, woman is not to-day setting ‘before man an ideal of chiyalry, and man, the weaker vessel, is infinitely Worse for the tack of that ideal. Strength lies in simplicity and gentlemess, and the greatest power is weild‘ed usually by those who could not defend themselves against the strong or brutal. It is not for me to censure women. Indeed, in all sincerity, I desire them to give me reason for ‘being able to kneel respectfully at their feet. When all is said and done, it is the old-fashioned yirtues, which ‘are not thought highly of to-day, that " hold the hearts of men, not, perhaps, ‘Gm their casual, careless after-dinner moods, but in those moods when, élone with their thoughts, and, -may‘be, regrets, men wish to God that they had done better than they have.-The Rev. Dick Sheppard, former Vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. . he New Woman in the Making. Kach woman who sets ont upon a way of life different from that of the dependent housewife is an explorer, ; @specially if she sets out to mate and xeproduce, The results of such experimental lives are being compiled ‘ and studied by the New Woman.- She is trying to chart the causes of success and failure. The New Woman of fo-day is consciously experimenting with her own life to find out how women can best live. To experiment knowingly with one’s own life, to find the Good Life-surely this requires a courage and a genius deserving something better than blame or jeers, deserving, at least, open-minded toleration and assisiance.-Leta S. Hollingsworth. > "Zambini." ~ A much-sought-after sweet on the Continent and a splendid way of giy"ang eggs to an invalid is made as follows: Beat well in a cup the yolk of "one egg, add two tablespconfuls of ‘sherry, or some other wine, sugar to taste, and beat all again well. Now add small piece of thin lemon rhind to flavour. Put cup in a pan of boiling water, and stir until the mixture thick‘ens to a fluffy marshmallow consistency, when it is eaten hot. Served in Wineglasses or custard cup, it looks most appetising and is delicious. A Baked Tart Secret, The majority of amateur cooks know how annoying it is to find the undermeath part of an otherwise perfectly baked fruit or treacle tart, sodden with juice. \ Here is a tip given to me by a "chef." After lining your tin or dish with pastry, brush the latter over with a little beaten white of egg, then put in your fruit or treacle and cover with pastry. When cooked the bottom crust will be quite firm and appetising, even if left until cold, The same hint will be found useful for large opert jam tarts or flans. ‘To: Restore Furs, All furs, save the most delicate, such as chinchilla and squirrel, are immensely improved by a good beating. Lay the fur flat on a table, if’ possible use n furrier’s stick, if not, any smooth ' flexible cane, and beat it hard and steadily all over. Then shake out the fur, and go over it carefully with a furrier’s comb. Furs should also be beaten before storing as this kills any moth eggs before they can hatch. To Clean Clocks or Watches. Clocks or watches which are losing time through being clogged with dirt, can be cleaned in the following manner with perfect success: ave the clock ticking, and place it over a convenient receptacle containing paraffin, not allowing the oi] to touch the clock, but so that the fumes can penetrate to the works. Cover the whole with another article to keep in the fumes, and leave 24 hours. For example, a small clock could he placed over a cup containing paraffin and the whole covered with a jam jar, English as She is Wrote. Here is a nice bit of English from @ restaurant advertisement in Rawalpindi, Punjab :- ‘It is noted here, for the information of the friends, that the restaurant, which is being run on under the special supervision of the experienced hands, is the best company of those who wish to have tlie delicious foods for their nourishment. "To save from the sntrue public notices, we guarantee to provide you With nice foods and teas. taking in view the medical aids, whieh can only be had from our restaurant on due times " : Wo Difference. The waiter said, "What soup, sir?" "I want thick, now is that clear??? "Oh, quite," replied the waiter; . "they’re hoth the same in here!" | Mme.

"There goes that chap Jonah,’’ said the secretary to the satrap. ‘‘He’s making himself very unpopular with that fish story of his... ." Saving the Hands. When doing dry dirty work, a very simple and effectual way of saving the. hands and nails from grime is to rub soap (not too wet) well into them beforehand, rubbing them until dry, and to scratch soap gently into the nails. This will afterwards wash off, dirt and all, with cold {preferably soft) water, leaving the hands and nails clean, without having had to suffer the clumsiness of gloves.
