the standard Of competence among women.
IT'S as easy as whistling to see that no
young woman is going to raise the wage
level except by offering superior compe-
tence for the high wages she commands.
She may be uncomfortably rich and grimly
determined to have good wages or none at
all, but she won't get them unless she is
worth them.
1t is also easy to see, if you think about
1t q minute, that the well-to-do Young
woman is pretty likely to be precisely the
comretent one. She has had time and op-
portunity to make herself SO, and the same
love for work that led her into it, will make
her competent in the work. One of the best
known and most skillful women physicians
in New York is the daughter of rich man
who died leaving her, while still young, with
fortune She loved medicine; she went to
London, to Paris and to Vienna, and came
back with all that they could teach her.
The same love that made her a physician
made her a good physician. When work
is elective it is sure to be superior
Objections of the Doubter.
The last objection of the keen Drained
young woman who reads this and refuses to
take word of stock in it, is this-that after
all, the rich young woman won't insist on
any of these higher things which, she can
see, may really make her presence among
working women beneficial in the long run.
Says this shrewd young doubter: 'sThe rich
woman if going to do just as the rest of us
have to, get down from her throne and
hustle round for her wages. That what
business is, and she is going to como it,
sooner or later
1. she? Hold this distinctly In your
mind: She isn't working for wages first
and alone. She's working because she wants
to. She's a clear-headed, clear-sighted
young woman or she wouldn't have seen
that there is anything better than the life
she was born in. If she has had moral
vision and determination enough to rise out
of the riches that are SO much harder to
overcome than proverty, she'll have moral
vision and determination enough to help
other women, and not help to rob them.
Lastly, are there any such rich young
women as these-women who would be glad
to work, to work hard, to work from pure
love of it and of its highest rewards? Are
there any women so foolish? You ask.
Within three months, have received
letters from six, all strangers, and all asking
for opportunities.

back, with an enormous rosette and q
cluster of tips.
The middle ground between hat and bon
net is still occupied by the toque, which is
still trimmed with cloth and velvet mingled
in soft folds, and centering at the back with
wings or knot. A good model for a rur-
ban has low bell-shaped crown of beaver
with brim of velvet. Two standing loops
of velvet and wing are placed at the back.
The new design in bonnets mentioned,
has small, fat crown, like that of hat,
and poke rim. The trimming should be a
ruche set round the edge, on the upper side,
with small ornament set in the ruche at
the extreme front edge. A simple vandeau
encircles the crown and falls at the backA to
form strings.
A dressy model is of silver passementerie,
trimmed with black lace ruche and a pale
blue satin rosette in front, out Of which rise
two small black wings. Blue satin strings
are set on four inches apart under tiny
rosettes. For street bonnets these two
shapes lend themselves well to the mink
tail border, which is popular.

How She Made Her shivering Boarders

The first cold wave had CONCEALED Pitts
burg and paralyzed its inhabitants The
thermometer in the boarding house dropped
steadily down the cellar, looking for the
furnace fire, whose ashes had long since
been gathered into urns. A shivering pro-
cesson came slowly down the basement
stairs, to the evening meal, wearing mot

last years ulsters.
The landlady sat at the head of the table,
waving large palm leaf fan. Beside her
stood the ice water jug, and as each frozen
member of the detected company ap-
preached, she profered a glass of the en-

SELECTING A TURKEY.
Marian ParIo1 Gives Some Dire ections fol

MariAh parlo7 Gives Some Dire ections for
the Thanksgiving Feast.
In this country only is the turkey found in
a wild state 1t is very fitting, therefore,
that in the Thanksgiving dinner it should
be the principal dish, writes Maria Parloa
The turkey should be short and plump, the
meat white, with some fat, the legs black
and smooth; and if there be spurs they
should be short. The end of the breastbone
should be flexible, more like gristle than
bone.
A turkey that is long in proportion to its
size, an has dark or blush flesh, may be
tender, but certainly will not be finely
favored and juicy. A dry-picked turkey
will be found to have much better flavor
than scalded one. All poultry that is
dry-picked costs few cents pound more
than the scalded but it is we'll worth the
extra price

Ice Made by Natural Gas.


An inventor in Buffalo, NY, has devised
process for making ice by utilizing the
intense cold created by the expansion Of
natural gas when liberated from the high
pressure at which it issues from the wells
In the experimental plant the gas is used at
its initial pressure of from 150 to 200 pounds
to drive small engine. After use in the
engine the gas exhausts into closed box,
and the expansion generates sufficient cold
to form slabs of ice three inches thick to the
amount of three-quarters of Q ton in day.
1t is claimed that the principle can be sp-
piled economically on large scala

and summer goods What's the matter
with Abbeville, anyway? Can ii be possible
that Tillman is RESPONSIBLE for this condition
of things? We notice also thata NUMBER OF
other papers are running spring advertise

states that "choicc spring goods arc ARRIVING

If our neighbor will scan carefully the all
vertising columns of the Press and Banner,
he will find that Abbeville is one of the livcst
towns In the State. and, we think, upon cN
animation, he will find that the Press and
Banner has as many ''live" home advertise
ments as any country paper in the State.
We feel very proud of the increased de-
mands upon our coums for advertising
space.
The increase OF advertising is the best ev-
idence of the fact that Abbeville is taking on
new life, and we feel no little satisfaction at
the apparent prospect of individul prosperity
for each and every one of our advertisers.
The Press and Banner congratulatcs the
Manning Times on the evidences of its own
prosperity. If any newspaper has made &

Herald, and his former assistant, Mr.. j. c.

and always stops when he has had his say.
