Mrs. Buchanan and Her Work on Iowa's
Worlds Fair Building.

Worlds Fair Building.
In the Iowa State building there is
n reproduction of the famous Corn
Palace, which made Sioux City known
to the whole of the United States.
And among the ladies who have charge
of the Iowa State building and who act
as its reception committee, is Mrs. VIM.
l. buchanan, to whom may be given
credit for originating the Corn Palace
three years ago
Mrs. buchanan was formerly Miss
Lulu Williams, of Cincinnati, and is the
daughter of Isaac Williams, for many
years leader in the artistic circles OF
Cincinnati. Miss Lulu has always been
a great admirer of the beauties of ma.
ture, just as nature, without cultiva'
ton or manifest design, comes from
the hand of God. And when the idea
of decor ton with grains and natural
products first became fad, the artist,
young girl was always designing some
thing decorative to be done with tn,
grasses and other outdoor products o
the fields of her state.
After her marriage to Mr.. William
Buchanan, who is now the chief of tn,

THE Americans, especially those wht

probably the finest type of womanhood

but it is recognized by the ADLER physi-
clans, and it is certainly recognized by
cultivated foreigners who have visited
this country in recent years.-Dr. Ed.

FUN, PURE AND SIMPLE.

That Is tho Object of Novel Sort Of
ttft Girls Club.
We girls were tired of hearing of
clubs which had been formed for mutu-
al Improvement or for the improvement
of other people, and determined that
our club should be for fun, pure and
simple, says writer in Harper's Bazaar.
There are sixteen of us, all more or
less busy with music French, German or
art, and any number of social engage
ments, for all are society girls. We
meet every other week, on a certain
afternoon, from two until five o'clock,
at the houses of the members in rota-
ton.
The FUN" consists of games of all
sorts, progressive and otherwise, ac-
cording to the inclination Of the girl at
whose house the meeting takes place.
There Is no organization to speak of,
and there are no dues Each hostess
furnishes the refreshments, which are
limited to ices, cake, chocolate and lem
onade.
OF course there are prizes, first and
second inexpensive things, such as sill
yer letter openers, steel and silver pins
for the hair, china bonbon dishes, hair
pin trays, etc, the hostess providing
them. There are generally four tables,
sometimes three, and often two only, as
of late, since la grippe has fastened on
some of our members.
We have tally-cards, with either gold
stars or h puncher, such as is used on
trains by the conductors, We find the
tunchers much more convenient, as the
stars are apt not to stick. The punch
ers can be had in almost any design,
some having a star, others an initial.
Each girl. in her turn to officiate as
hostess tries to introduce some entirely
new game, either in cards or progress
i've game of some sort. If member has
been away, and has not had her turn
for some time, it is always a great
source of speculation with us as to
what new thing she has brought with
her.
One who recently returned from a
city quite distance from home had a
game which will not attempt to de-
scribe, or to spell, either, as she begged
US not to ask her how to spell it, the
thing being Chinese puzzle. She
really did not know how herself, and
when, writing it spelt it differently
every time. 1t was great fun in its
,,rorroeS az opv rata apd +baro ,,yore
alternate moments of silence and ex
element of the widest kind.
Every third or fourth meeting two
girls propose that we have an evening
dance, german or cards and dancing
Then the two join resources, and Civ,
1 it at one of their houses OF cours,
the men are invited on these occa
sions. The girls who have brothers
are asked to bring them, and the one
without are provided for by the hos
tesses.
The expense of the music and crash
when the floors are not hard wood
divided among all the members, ant
consequently amounts to very little TO
each.
great many remarks have beef
made about Our club. The brothers il
general at first thought it the Stiles
they had ever heard of, and just like
lot of girls, until after the first dance
when they quite changed their views
and pronounced it stunning"
Mothers, aunts and friends drew
deep sigh of relief, declaring it was IS
refreshing to know of a club for ful
simply, and not for improvement"

"A New York genius has invented a
machine for the self-propulsion of
ships. 1t consists of long, strong plat
forms, rugged out on either side of a
vessel, that rise and fall with the roll
of the waves and operate propeller
The motion of these platforms in n
strong sea would be similar to that of
the pump handles of the old-fashioned
fire engines when the boys were
shaking her up lively" The inventor
thinks that the tendency of these out
riggers would be to steady the vessel as
well as to force it forward. They
would operate in dead" calm nearly
as well as in a storm, for the ocean is
never at rest.

TO MAKE LABOR LIGHTER.
Little Things That Make Homework Less
Burdensome.


Burdensome.
Little things that may be easily
remedied often cause homework to be-
come burdensome. The first thing that
wants to be done in most kitchens is to
raise the stove six inches or foot, so
that woman can work at it without
that stoop which does more to bring on
a settled ache in the spine than all the
hard labor that falls to her lot. Stove
tables and sink should be high enough
so that work can be done straight
standing, and the relief this adj
j1stment gives will never be realized
till one tries it. This is not a matter
of mere comfort, but affects the health
and vitality of women. Our grand
| mothers got their bowed shoulders by
cooking by the hearth, before stoves
were known, and the plan was no
benefit to them or their children.
Next contrive a ventilator in the cell
| ing to carry off the heat and odors.
| The reason so many housel1eepers suf-
| fer with neuralgia is because they live
| in such an overheated air, with odors
of cooking growing rank about the up
per part of the room, and breathing
foul air ont of the sink drain; they be-
come cn-eebled by heat and victims of
thorough blood poisoning. Persons
who live constantly in such rooms do
| not notice the bad air and the worst
conditions do not always smell the
worst. There should be a brick knocked
out of the chimney just below the cell
ing, and an iron or tin slide put in it's
place, to be kept open except when
the fire is first burning up. Or the
room above may be heated very well
by large hole in the floor over the
stove leading into tight drum of sheet
| iron with pipe to the chimney above.
A kitchen stove in winter burns fuel
enough to heat two rooms well.
Use nut coal and coke for fuel, both
for economy and case of keeping fires.
Also have supply of pea coal to bring
up fires when low. 1t is two dollars a
| ton cheaper than other coal and is use
full to save fire that would go out
with fresh coal on or to keep tho
heat of q baking fire when other fuel
would cool the oven. Every good man
ager knows that half coal and half
| coke is the cheapest fuel for stove, fur
mace or fireplace, but everyone does not
know that coke lSindles quickest for
| getting breakfast or anything wanted
in haste. philadelphia Press.
