An Exper. Woman Operator.

Miss Nelly Kelly of the Ohio State
Journal, at Columbus, is regular first
wire'' operator of the Associated Press,
and receives $50. so week, the same
salary that is paid to first wire men. She
is said to be the only telegraph woman in
the country holding such place. AT
$50 every afternoon Miss Kelly takes
her seat up stairs in the Journal Office.
In front of her is typewriter, and close
behind her is the eternally clicking 'first
wire' of the Associated Press. As fast
as the receiving instrument clicks Miss
Kelly copies its messages on the type
writer in the shape of neat ''copy' for
the paper, taking Is 900 words night.
At $3.50 a. m. she rises from her type
writer beside the telegraph instrument,
draws a sigh of relief and goes home
alone and safe. She has never missed q
night, and the State Journal praises her
work in the highest terms.

If one were seeking a position in which
there was no chagrin 1t would not be that
of q writer on fashion. After preparing

serves to make a winter temperature
comfortable. After last weeks expert
ence the writer has determined to leave
the weather clerk to his freaks and write
only of fabrics and fashions that ought
to be seasonable.
In accordance with this fixed purpose

woman's world is smaller than
mans, but 1t calls for just as much
thought.
The first illustration after the initial
sets forth very effective dress in silver
gray peau de sole, with gold and silver
embroidered galloon. The front portion
of the skirt is in very finely pleated silk
crepe of the same delicate gray tone.
The hat is early French in shape, and
serves to accentuate the delicate contour
of face and head. It will be noted that
the sleeves of this dress, as in fact of
each of the three costumes worn by Miss
Papillon, are not very bouffant or set
very high on the shoulders. 1t is point
to be borne in mind, and may be conf
IDENTITY accepted as hint, from one who
knows, that the days of the exaggerated
bouffant are numbered.
In the second illustration this ard
but intellectual devotee of fashion wears
au extremely elegant dress-a compina
tion of heliotrope peau de sole with fioelle
silk guipure. The guipure is applied in
a very original and stylish manner, and
the sleeves are finished with great taste.

In the third and last Illustration, Miss
Papillon bursts upon our gaze in q cos
tune which merits in a high de-
gree the epithet original. But that orig
inality doesn't prevent the dress from
being charming creation, all the same.
1t consists OF q combination of white
pongee silk, black velvet and gray peau
de sole, as shown in the drawing. The
effect is not at all loud or startling. On
the contrary, it is an ensemble OF live
illness tempered by the minor key of the
gray.
In nothing does q woman show her
good taste so quickly as IN casino
toilet. 1t is no place for lace or diamonds,
but rather for thas elegant simplicity in
material, cut and harmony of color
which always characterizes the we'll
dressed woman. The well dressed

Shoe Cleaning.

1t is not generally known that the east
est way to clean shoes or rubber over
shoes which have become muddy is with
vaseline. A little 'tswab" of flannel on
the end of a stick is good for this pur-
pose. Even if the vaseline touches the
hands 1t forms coating over them, SO
that the task is not so unpleasant as il
otherwise would be. Such dressing as
this is sufficient for some fine kid shoes
but others may need coat of polish. If
the polish is put on after coat of vase
line it is not liable to crack the leather
and it lasts much longer. Rubber over
shoes. especially, look much better and
last much longer if cleaned in this way
than if they are washed with water.

sufficient oricle. The fighting sparrow
would naturally serve as an emblem of
the rugged and self-assertive English
maiden, while the maybe might be ap-
propriately adjudged to the noisy and
conceited Frenchman, and the wise and
contemplative crow be assigned to the
philosophical German. Nor will it be
possible to do without jet in the making
of these elegant and refined bonnets, not
only in the shape of network, but also as
wired jet lace or jet ornaments. Jet and
chenille will also be intermingled, but no
novelty will be strong enough to push
the ostrich feathers out of fashion. They
will be arrayed IN pulls of small tips and
fiowerlike ponpons, set in front or on
either SIDE. To sum up, although the
bonnets of the coming season are to be
small, they will be expensive, for never
before were the materials so artistically
fashioned and of such high order of
excellence.

which gives the wearer a sense of abso-

Household.

At the risk of being prosy, indulgence
is asked for few words upon table
manners, somewhat neglected accom-
pills hment.
In recent monthly publication man
charges women with being mannerless
sex, and while no woman likes to admit
so sweeping charge, still the way in
which some are wincing shows that sore
places exist. Whatever of truth there is
in it, that there is truth gives reason for
urging that mothers institute training
school where the sexes may be taught
the gentle courtesies, that which makes
intercourse with one g fellows agreeable.
The primary department might be insti-
tuted in the dining room, a room not de-
signed to be feeding place only, but n
place where civilized people may enjoy
the pleasures that ought to accompany
eating.
1t is well known that children are imi-
tative and their elders are their models.
Many man or woman would give d
handsome sum to unlearn some trick of
holding knife or fork acquired in child
hood or to have been taught table cour-
tesies that in after years others tender so
easily as seems to be natural. Early
training, or the lack of 1t, is never so
apparent as at the table, for there are
betrayed ones early home, its service
and its belongings, and it might almost
be said that three generations back
speak at The table in the manners of
their descendants. If this is true, then
is it not important that children be
trained in table manners, and is the
theory tenable that they will outgrow
boorishness.
at the every day ordinary meal of the
family there should be observed those
little delicate acts of courtesy, that
dainty feeding which is opposed to coarse
ness. No matter how simple the ap-
pointments, how frugal the board, the
ethics of the dining room should be rig
orously enforced. A gracious mistress
at the head of habitually we'll man
nered. well-ordered and well-served
table will train all who come within the
scope of her influence so that in after
days, though they sup with princes or
dine with kings, they will everywhere
manifest familiarity with the etiquette
that is not of courts but of a. well-ordered
home.

slavery, without mental or moral back
bone, which might be infinitely worse than
days and nights of agony. As matter of
fact many lives have been wrecked through
nesmerism, which is substantially the
same as hypnotism. A subtle tie, ending
in disaster, is apt to be formed between
the hypnotist and his patient. In the
lethargic and cataleptic states criminal
assaults have been committed and the per-
petrators convicted and punished. There
are said to be well authenticated instances
of persons in the somnambulistic state hav-
ing been influenced by the operator to
commit crime. So serious has this ques-
tion grown that French surgeons have
been prohibited from practising hypnot-
ism in the army and navy. Obviously it
is undesirable that the control of anyone's
thoughts and actions should pass into
another's keeping. In view of the posi-
bic dangers it is highly inexpedient, in DIR.
Kerrs opinion, that physicians in family
practice should hypnotic patients of both
sexes and all ages in the daily round of
their ordinary domiciliary visiting.

HypNoT1sM AND MEDICAL ART.
Reasons why it should Not Be Generall,
Practiced.
lFrom the Baltimore SUM.


From the Baltimore Sun.
At the recent meeting of the British
Medical Association at Birmingham there
medical point of view, and conclusions
we're reached which are of Importance to
the general public. Itwas conceded on all
hands that the use Of hypnotism ought to
be confined to medical men, and its prac-
tice for purposes of amusement or gain
prohibited. Public mesmerism-medical,
philanthropic or commercial-was pro-
nounced degrading and disgusting" Leg
islation, in the opinion of some of the
physicians at the meeting, is necessary for
the control Of the application of hypnotism
in the treatment of disease. There are
cases, it was urged, in which it is a useful
adjunct to regular treatment, but it is sub
iect to terrible abuse, and frequent re-
course to il by physicians or others is to be
deprecated. An advocate of its use in
stanced the case of patient who suffered
from sleeplessness, the result Of neuralgia.
He hypnotized the subject and left with
him paper, on which was written go
to sleep at once, and wake up in the morn
ing at 7:30. You will have no pain when
you awake" The patient did precisely as
he was told, and the experiment was sue
cessful. But this subsection of one person
TO the will of another was objected TO by
the best authorities as injurious in various
ways.
DR.. Norman Kerr of London, in paper
read at the meeting, accepted practi-
cally," he said, "all the alleged hypnotic
phenomena OF facts" but still, after close
study, he saw in hypnosis "only dis
torted cerebral state, an abnormal physical
condition, with exaltation OF receptlvlty
and energy" As remedy he considered
il hardly desirable, or even justitiabie. 10

ouent repetition is likely to cause deterlo-
ration OF brain and nerve function, in
telIectual decadence and moral perversion.
The state of the hypnotized person is a
diseased state, a departure from health. 1t
is what physicians call neurosia, embracing
lethargic, cataleptic and somnambulistIc
states. To cure person OF disease by
hypnotism, therefore, is only substituting
another disease. Suffering can be tempo
rarily assuaged by the hypnotist's art, but
the underlying disease is not cured by
hypnotic anasthesia. The fatal character
Of a morbid disorder is enhanced by it.
The cases in which persons were apparently
benefited would probably have yielded to
ordinary treatment.
The dangers of hypnotisn, according to
DIR. Kerr, are very great. Each seance
must bring the hypnotee more under the
control OF the hypnotist, ending often in
the complete submission of the former to
the latter. From this results q jelly-ish
