The two women DUST now most prominent
in the State of Pennsylvania are those rep
resenting us on the Worlds Fair Board
In the choice of Mrs. John Lucas, of Phil
adelphia, and Miss Mary E. McCandless, of
Pittsburg, for lady managers our Ma
tional Commissioners, Hon. John Wood
side and General William McClelland, have
selected wisely and well. Other women,
and many of them, this great State has
reared who could do themselves, the COM
missioners and the cause much credit, but
others better qualified by reason of social
standing. natural attainments and large ex-
periments in public enterprises could not
have been named.
Miss Mary McCandless is q native Of
Pittsburg, her distinguished family having
been identified with Western Pennsylvania
for fully a century. Her father was Judge

blossom out into the desire and the purpose
of making her own home what real home
should be, ga little sunny spot of green in
the great wilderness of the world"
And so she should be allowed to have her
own room very much as she wants it. It
may not be to her mothers taste, but in her
own little sleeping room the daughter
should have the right to decide The writer
here sets down the advice she has to offer in
just the same spirit of submission which
she e1horts in the mother.
She Needs Air and Sunshine.
The first desideratum for sleeping room
is that it should not be elaborate, but
should be capable of being thoroughly win
moved each day with fresh air and sun
shine. And a young girls room more than
anybody else's should not be stuffy. Its
key note should be simplicity. 1t should
be dainty and light and simple, with no
look of conscious striving after effect,
about it. The floor should neither be COW
cred with mating or shellacked, or painted
a delicate grey or buff or a dull red. No
sleeping room should have O carpet, and
every young girl should know enough in
these enlightened davs, about microbes and
disease germs, to prefer bare floors. A
few rugs here and there are best-a fur rug
in white, or gray, or black, for the bare
feet to touch the first thing in the morning,
rug before the dressing table. and one or
two in other places about the room. The
walls should be tinted in pale shades or
papered with small and indistinct pat
tern.
It isn't likely that there will be any choice
about the bed. The white iron beds with

Martin can be made by any girl for herself
at about one-fifth the cost of the first. The
big box upholstered and draped with muslin,
has had its possibilities exploited many
times. The girl who made this dressing
table for herself began by buying an un-
painted white pine table, with slender, we'll
turned legs. Next she got the carpenter
around the corner to have two small pine
posts, or stanchions. turned for her, as near
like the legs in pattern as was possible.
These posts she had screwed at the back OF
the table shelf in position to support the
mirror which she had already bought and
measured. Then she gave the whole table
three coats of white enamel paint, with a
light line of gold about the shelf and on the
legs and posts. The mirror was low and
wide, with two-inch white frame, and to
hang it with big brass screws between the
upright posts was an easy matter. When
it was done and the big brush and fat pin
cushion and all the little Dresden pieces
were set about its top, it was as pretty a
dressing table as Maid Marian's.
There is nothing prettier for young
girls dressing table than the white china

the Dresden patterns. There are trays for
brushes and combs powder boxes, manicure
boxes, jewel boxes, cold cream boxes, pin
boxes and ring tiers, and they seem to be-

cotton ball-fringe whose colors repeated
those of the sateen. This cover was wide
enough to fall over the top of the flowers on
both sides of the-bed and long enough to be
tucked under the lower edge of the pillow
and then brought over it, so as to make one
covering answer for the whole bed This
sunshiny buff is admirable for bedroom
because it always makes one remember that
the sun is shining somewhere even if it isn't
in just that spot. But other colors are also
very pretty. Cotton Grape in white and
dull blue is exquisitely dainty, and the same
fabric makes beautiful curtains also.
Maid Marian has Vernis-Martin dress
ing table in the quaint Louis XIV. design.
Vernis- Martin isn't always expensive. This
special piece cost only S25, and the dull gold
ground, with the group of fine Watteau
ladies and gentlemen displayed upon it was
very effective. Before is stood Light, low

| in the Woman's Silk Culture Association OF
| the United States is well understood. In
deed, she may be termed an enthusiast on
| silk culture in America, and she has full
| faith in its complete development as great
| national industry. With the help of her
assistants on that board she has been the
means of establishing silk culture in every
State of the Union south of Maine, and this
native raw material has been tested IN all
known manufactured fabrics with the best
| results
Flags OF Home Grown Silk.
Flags of our nation have been prepared
from this native silk and sent by the associ-
| alton into every republic on the continent,
to the Senate and House at Washington and
at Harrisburg, and to the textile and in
dustrial schools of England and Scotland.
Mrs. Lucas ranks the efforts OF the Silk
Culture Association as among the best at
tempts at "woman's work tor women" be-
lieving the best wav to assist people and
preserve their self-respect is to direct their
minds into such channels and instruct them
in such manner as will enable them to help
themselves.
Mrs. Lucas has attended the two meetings
of the National Commission at Chicago,
and at the last meeting she prides herself
upon having succeeded in getting good
majority vote from the National Committee
of Women in favor of closing the Expo
sition on Sunday. To this effort Mrs Lucas
is sincerely and personally pledged; while
her colleague more afraid Of srobbing the
wage-earners of privilege they might not
otherwise enjoy, would be more IN favor of
a compromise by leaving the grounds open,
but machinery silenced and work suspended.
Women at Work Everywhere.
The progress of work in Pennsylvania
has now reached position in which activity
is the watchword. Every county in the
State has Its committee of competent
women who are ready as a channel to give
and receive information among women of
the State on all subjects pertaining to the
exhibition of woman's work at the Worlds
Fair.
The lady managers are anxious to work
up a thoroughly system of statistical reports
from the three channels in which women
are so actively though so silently
engaged, and in which the result
is not always seen in the form of
matter. Statistics of the work done in
churches for missions, in Sabbath schools,
in charitable efforts, statistics of the results
of hospitals day nurseries, orphanages and
all the various lines where woman labors to
palliate the sorrows and relieve the distress
of the mass of people requiring such help.
Also, in industrial lines where much of her
handiwork passes to the world without the
knowledge Of what her hands have wrought.
Lots of Work to Be Done.
Our lady managers believe the State Of
Pennsylvania in this work is well up in the

HELPING OUT THE MEMORY.
Women Need q Slate or Notebook for the
Mind Can't Do All.

- -
Mind Can't Do All.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcHI
The fear lest she shall forget, is one Of the
terrors of any busy woman's life. It is pre-
csely the forgotten thing that proves most
disastrous. The mistake is that women ex-
act of their memories such trustworthy ser
vice as they do, starting from the supposition
that the memory ought to be as infinite in
it's capacity as space and as exact table of
logarithms. But the capacity of the men,
ory is limited, like the capacity of the
stomach. 1t knows, if its owner doesn't,
that it can't hold everything, and so, some
times it bolts, as any self-respecting men,
ory ought to at having such conglomerate
and apparently unimportant lot of things
thrust upon it for keeping.
These are the occasions when Mrs. A. for
gets Mrs. BIS tea and doesn't even send
cards, or when Mrs. B. forgets her appoint
ment at the dentists and has to pay for it
just the same.
It is the wise woman who, after few
such occasions as these, learns to locate her
memory somewhere outside of her where
she can depsnd upon il to give her some
kind of monition, in short, to make pencil
and make memorandum book do the work
of memory, regulating to that precious
capacity of the mind only such things as are
worth remembering for their own sake,
such as the argument in a new scientific
work, or the criticism OF new painting. If
there are odds either way, the slate is better
than the book. A slate hanging in the
kitchen upon which the cook or the mistress
can jot down the household things she needs
as fast as she knows she needs them, SIM
plifies wonderfully the ordering of grocer
les. A little slate hanging near the dress
ing table, on which all matters of apersonal
kind are set down, is the same comfort to
any woman.

Although wood pavements are exceed
ingly popular, they are only partial suo-
cess so far as durability is concerned, not
withstanding the ingenuity of constructors
and the very substantial base upon which
the blocks are laid. Now comes an inventor
who claims that the wood is all right, but
the method of laying all wrong, and he de-
clares that if the former is split up into
small 4-inch lengths and laid loosely, ends
up, on gravel base the result will be much
better Il has, it is reported, succeeded
in convincing the Paris authorities that

How Ladies Can Make Money.

There are so very few ways lady can
make money and so few chances open to us,
that know all your lady readers will be
interested in hearing of my success in plat
ing watches, tableware and jewelry. I
make from $40 to $50 per week, and my
customers are delighted at my work. 1t is
surprising how easy lady can take plat
ing machine and plate old knives, forks and
spoons. This machine plates with either
nickel, silver or gold and will generally
plate any of these articles in few minutes.
1 hope my experience will be as profitable
to your lady readers as Mrs Wilson's was
to me. Anybody can get plating machine
by addressing H. F. Delno & Co., Colum-
bus, Ohio. The platter sells for IS. or you
can get circulars by addressing this firm.

scale of advancement, and they ask the
hearty cooperation of all women who may
be able to advance the general interest of
this splendid opportunity which the National
Government and the Worlds Commission
ers have SO generously conferred upon all
women
The place of the lady managers is not one
of restful posing, not sinecure. The po-
sition is full of arduous care and great re-
sponsibility. 1t entails work from start to
finish; it taxes the time, patience and
strength of the incumbent to the limit of
endurance. They are expected to under
stand the merits of each persons work on
the auxiliary committees and exactly how
it should be done.
They must be able to decide upon all mat
ters that come up, and, of course, new and
unthought-of questions are continually
growing out of the work. You readily see
the thought and investigation required to
meet these demands, and that exceptionally
capable women are required to satisfactorily
fill the place. In the appointment of two
such women Pennsylvania is most fortunate,
and to the National Commissioners our
thanks are due.

Barring other evidence of her ability to
