One Who Has Bcen Stunning

Our young lady who has any tender COM
passion in her soul, any heart in her healthy
body, under its soft warm clothing Of
camel'shair and sealskin, will not come
away from those damp cellars where chill
dr4n bleach and starve, and mothers weary
with want, where girls as young as them
selves see no righteous way out of their
loathei surroundings-thi fortunate young
lady of ours will not come down these
broken and perhaps filthy stairs from rooms
close to tho clouds that drip through the
ragged roof, viii not become acquainted
with the sin and sorrow and suffering that
confront her there, and allow a sportive
phrase upon her lips in speaking Of it all
No word OF slang will belong TO the
language in which she would describe the
depths into which she has descended: she
will come away. rather, with q sense Of
having been admitted to fearful mysteries
OF life of which she did nos dream, AMI with

as a profession for women There are
magnificent and costly houses whose kitchen
arrangements are a marvel of Inconvenience:
and the woman Of the house often saws with
a groan: mo woman would have planned
things So" By all means let women be
architects They would naturally make
better architects than men, for the reason
that they have more practical knowledge Of
convenience and economy, especially in the
arrangement Of dwellings and other build

To Those who.ve Never Tried II

Housekeeping is the most delightful affair
in the world to those who have never tried

difficult it is TO cook or serve a perfect

throb, their nerves are not in a CULVER over
the awkward mistakes of servants. They
can not understand why the hot tears start

seem hard that after a mornings toll in a
hot kitchen, or after careful and minute
directions, there will be some lamsntable
failure somewhere in the meal which you
hoped would please, and that somebody's
eagle eye will pounce upon that one weak
point in the whole affair, perhaps the very
thing over which you have toiled the most
patiently, while all the excellencies OF all
the rest are forgotten The spot on the

BUFFALO, y. y, Dec. 2S-The fiery
method of disposing Of the bodies of hui
man dead was inaugurated in this city
yesterday by the initial test of the Buffalo
Crematory with human subject In the
base of the crematory proper is the fur
mace. In the fire box are placed sticks of
hard wood thoroughly dry and so arranged
that the combustion of those at the bot
tom generates II gas from those above,
which, passing up into the retOrt on the
main floor, becomes ignited ana heats the
chamber The master of ceremonies, yes
terday, was Giuseppe GERONIMO an Italian
engineer, sent from Venice last October
to superntend the erection of the furnace.
The first of the privileged spectators to
arrive were the undertakers, who brought
with them Il coffin containing the silent
form of Il woman, apparently about forty
five years of age.
The body, concealed beneath the folds
of sheet soaked III alum, was carefully
placed upon the bier the surface of which
is dotted with mushroom shaped terra
Gotta columns about ten inches high, and
so disposed that the corpse rests in an easy
natural position and permits the free cir
CulutiOn of heat on every side of the body.
At 1914 the body was placed in the retort.
The whole chamber appeared to be filled
with rosy luminous opaque VapOr which
completely concealed the form on the slab.
There was no flashing forth of fierce
flames, no writing of the burning body,
no cracking sounds, no explosion There
was nothing revolving, disagreeable or
painful In precisely one hour and five
minutes the fiery element accomplished
the work. The bier was Withdrawn from
the retort and on the surface of the slab
rested thin layer of pearly ashes and the

for day receptions The low corsage is round
at the top, sharply pointed below the waist

There is only one dart each side of the middle
seam of the front, but Il side form beginning
in the armhole is necessary to make the
fronts taper properly. At the top the
material is cut longer than the lining, and is
caught down in full folds or gathers across
the bust, its upper edge being turned under to
fall upon softly gathered tulle, which fills in
the space above to tn top of the lining.
Beaded tulle is used for this full tulle, and
