A surprisingly largo number Of wom-
en- are engaged in sugar production III
Louisiana. The senate executive docu
ment No. 61 gives list of persons pro-
ducing sugar and the amount Of bounty
received thereon. No fewer than 100
women appear on the list, either as in
dividual operators or as members Of sug-
ar producing firms, and their business
compares in magnitude very favorably
with that of the men. Mrs. Elizabeth
Harris received from the government in
the year 1912 bounty of $50, 5S4 on
the sugar she produced, and in the year
1923 it had increased to $50, 500. The
business women in the sugar industry
are not all married women and widows.
Miss Belle S. Brooks produced enough
sugar to entitle her to bounty Of $15,
256 in the year 1912, and misses are
numerous among the partners in the
firms. Some partnerships are composed
entirely of women. The firm of Ware
6 Baker which collected s1s, 11s boun-
ty in one year, is composed Of Mary E.
Ware and Elizabeth e. Baker. Some
times woman is the senior partner.
The firm of Wheadon g. Weems is COM
posed of Mrs Floretta Wheadon and
Mr.. R. B. Weems, and that of Troxler
& Co., is composed Of Mrs. A. Troxler

Mrs. Sarah Sinfield enlisted with her
husband in Company q of the Third

served through the war. Mrs. Sinfield
and her husband were allowed tent
apart from the others, and she did wash

musket When battles were raging, she
helped care for the wounded She had
the respect of all the soldiers. When
her husband was wounded at Gettys-
burg in 1868, she went to the hospital
with him and after that served as an
army nurse, for which she has drawn a
pension for some years. She lived to be

Cardinal Gibbons Close Call.

Professor II. II. Hay of Girard college
told the following as it had been related to
him while he was travelling in Europe by
a priest acquainted with the circum-
stances.
While Cardinal Gibbons, who was then
an archbishop, was travelling across the
Atlantic some years ago. he complained
one afternoon that he wasn't feeling very
well, but was told by the ships surgeon to
await medical treatment until the follow
ing day, when something would be done
for him if his sickness continued. On the
day following the steward of the steamer
was duly sent with remedy for the emf
nent prelate. AS he was about to place the
glass containing the draft to his lips the
archbishop was almost overcome by a
strange and pungent odor.
''He hesitated a moment and lowered
the vessel containing the liquid until he
recovered from the effect of the smell.
CHANGING incidentally at the bottle in the
steward hand, he noticed the word poi
SON on label and, not without little
alarm, asked the man il he knew what he
was offering The steward replied that
he had done as he was directed by the doc
tor. Alarmed, the archbishop sent post
what was being rendered him. This time
it was the surgeon who had occasion to
manifest surprise. He hurried to his dis
tinguished patients side and informed
the archbishop that the glass offered him
contained enough deadly poison to kill
any two men. "-Philadelpiha Call.

Over hundred women have oil paint
ings hung ON the walls of the salon of
the Champs Elysee in Paris this year,
and almost as many more show water
colors and pastels. Curiously enough,
the first four names in the catalogue are
feminine, Mile. Abbema heading the
list, as usual. This artist entities her
picture ''Plaoe de la Conoorde," but it
is something more than view of this
fine esplanade, with it's fountains in the
background against the brown of win
try trees and the Doric mansions on the
right hand. In front is young woman
in plush cape, sable tie and brown
hat, carrying a bunch Of southern wall
flowers and mimosa. Great prominence
is given to this figure, the surrounding
scene being rather the adjunct of we'll
executed study of physiognomy and tex
lures. Miss Abbat's name stands next,
an American artist, and her small por-
trait Of man with black hair and mus
tache is most clever. Mile. Abran OK

A Woman Garbage Inspector.

An interesting development Of wom-
ans growth IN affairs is exemplified by
the recent appointment Of a woman for
garbage inspector in Chicago. She re-
ceiyed this distinction through the So
icitation of the Municipal Order league,
and the ladies report the city officials as
being in perfect sympathy with the new
order Of things. Women have certainly
become desperately in earnest in their
interest in public matters when they
can deliberately seek an employment
which must necessarily be SO very repul-
sive. The experiment bids fair to sue
coed, however, as the woman who has
undertaken this new line Of work is am
ply fitted for the place. She has perfect
health and a flow Of spirits that can
overcome all the depressing effects Of
her occupation. Her appearance is COM
handing and her dress simple. She has
taken up the work seriously and allows
nothing to interfere with her business.
She is obliged to know how to detect
any flaw ill the wagons which convey
the garbage to the lake and see that
they meet tho requirements of the law,
ana that lney are icaueu properly, a.
we'll as understanding the condition of
the contents.
No means of conveyance has as yet
been provided for her, and she gets
about her work as best she can, diving
down into alleys to inspect suspicious
boxes of refuse and walking miles in
the course of the day. She is required,
too to inspect tho dumping ground,

ture. The garment comes nearly to the
hem of the little dress, and ia made of
pink batiete. 1t is laid in three pIeats
in back and buttons beneath the center
one. 1t is cut away at the top and the
opening filed in with yoke of lace and
batiste insertion, round in back and
pointed in front, and finished with
full lace frill. The front breadths are
laid in six pleets and the tiny sleeves
are partially covered with frils OF thread
lace. The strings commence st the sides
and tie in back, and the gathered skirt
part is sewed to the top or bodice por-
ton with two rows of gathers at the
waist. Garments which furnish pro-
lection for the little ones dresses and
which are at the same time dressy and
becoming are scarce enough. This
model seems to possess all these quail
ties, and, of course. it can be transposed
into coarse stuff without losing much of
any of them.
In the next two illustrations bloueed
dresses are shown, and this might at
first thought be taken to mean that the
current rage for blouse waists, which
would inundate our young women, did
it not carry them high on its crest to
Increased daintiness, had reached the
children. But the latter were ever much
in blouses, 30 no charge of sping their
elders will hold. The first example of
these two is simple little gown in blue
and white striped rep with. white ben
galine yoke, and is suitable for girls
from to 6 years. The yoke ia finished
with frill of ecru lace and the tiny
skirt is gathered to the bodice, which
hangs over like a blouse, front and
back. The dress buttons behind and
has ribbon garniture and a ribbon belt.
The second child's blouse comes from
pink surah, and is made with fitted
lining hooking in bnck. The round yoke
is made of lsce and the lining is cut
away, only q narrow band being lett at
the bottom to which the straight. full
breadths of the sursh are gathered with

time enough to consider the gerb in this
respect. No badge is necessary for the
youngter OF the fourth picture. for the
coming man is apparent in the bright
face. His dress 10 made of fine white
nainsook and trimmed with Swiss en-
broidery. The full ekirt is perfectly
plaic and attached TO the waist, and the
little bodice is belted in at the waist
with band of embroidery, the yoke
being OF the same. Full puffed sleeves
reach to the elbow and are finished off
with band of embroidery and a small
frill of lace. White socks and black
slippers with velvet rosettss complete
his dainty rig.
Babes dress number two, which the
last picture shows. is in white lawn, and
a pretty finish for it, and one which
would lend touch of femninity, would
be little bows OF blue ribbon to faeten
the straps where they join the waist

at shoulders and wrists. Its waist ia
laid in fine pleats back and front and
fine lawn straps edged with narrow

that layettes of this style can be pur-

WOMAN'S WORLD.
MISS JAMES SMITH OF BARNARD AND
OTHER COLLEGE PRESIDENTS.

The Revolt of the Daughters--A Woman
Garbage Inspector-women In the Paris
Salon = Women as Sugar Producers.
Death of "a Woman Veteran.
The appointment OF Miss James Smith
to the position of president of Barnard
calls attention to tho fact that the day
is past when a college presidency was
as much masculine prerogative as the
presidency of tho United States AL
most all the women's colleges started
out with the inherited conviction that
q man must be at their head. Vassar
and Smith are the only ones which still
have a man at tho head of the faculty.
DR.. James M. Taylor has been for many
years president Of Vassar. DIR. Clark
Scelye has becA president of Smith since
its foundation, but with these two ex-
captions all the leading women's COL
leges are governed by women.
AT Wellesley Miss Alice Freeman for
years showed the world how admirably
n woman could be president of COL
lege. When slts showed also that it was
possible for her to leave the dear de.
lights of educational rulership and to
marry, Miss Helen Schafer took her
place. So far since the death of Miss
Schafer Wellesley has been president
less.
Harvard annex, marked as has been
its dependence upon its masculine neigh
Dor in somo respects, has called wom-
an to its presidential chair, Miss Agnes
Irwin of Philadelphia. Miss Irwin does
not even represent, as Miss Smith Of
Barnard does, the most advanced and
radical views of the day on woman s
education. She is not herself college
bred woman, but teacher Of experience
and high reputation. She belongs dis
tinctively to the school which believes
in combining scholarship with that
vague something known as ''womanli-
ness" Miss Smith is, ON the other hand,
a representative of the now school. She
is fellow Of Chicago university and
represents the strenuously scholastic
ideal
Bryn Mawr, under the direction of
its dean, Miss Carey Thomas, has done
suoh excellent work as few institutions
in the country have done. AS a reoog
milton of her services she has been call
ed to the presidency of the college. So
that, with the exception Of Vassar and
Smith, all tho leading colleges Of the
east for the instruction Of women not
only have women as their presidents,
but are demonstrating that there are
few positions In the world that women
are more fitted to adorn than that Of
president. New York World.

The Duchess of Newcastle.

At the royal drawing room on Thurs
day many ladies wore English made ma
terial. Among them, it is said, was the
Duchess Of Newcastle, stately young
matron, whose gown of mauve satin,
with wondrous lace trimming, and bod
ice ''veiled in silver fiecked mauve chif-
fon showing between diagonal bands of
satin, with undulating edges outlined
with silver" caused the sensation Of the
day, according to courtly gossipers.
This is not surprising, for the duchess
is beautiful woman, and the profusion
of diamonds which che wore and her
train of dark reddish pansy purple hue
were alone sufficient to make her stand
out distinct from tho crowd. London

The standing collar is made of folded
silk, with roaettes in back and front to
match the belt, but the moderately wide
balloon sleeves are plain.
Babies apparel follows no laws but
those OF mothers, and they reflect SO
many maternal crochets as to be beyond
codifcatiop. Even fashion's laws could
not convince a mother that she should
not dress her own babe as che pleases.
Some mothers insist that there should
be distinct difference in the modes OF
dressing girl and boy babies. even at a
month old. These would have for the
boy no lace, frills, insertions or furbe-
lows. The little gogns are OF the finest
material and Invariably white for both
sexes, but here resem blance ceases, &C
cording to theee philosophers. The
little girls gown is longer than the
boys, hanging almost to the floor when
the child is in the nurses arms. 1t
may be made short eleeved and low
necked, fashion which, in spite OF the
frantic appeale of physicians and reason
able minded folk, is coming back. 1t
may be lace trimmed, real lace always
in the finest possible mesh and narrow
eet width, until the little maid is 6
months old or so, when the lace may be
wider, but no less fine. The little
dresses are dsintily made, in conform
ity. to slight degree, to the prevailing
fashion for mamma. Fluffy frills extend
from tiny shoulder 70 shoulder across
front and back, each frill lace edged. The
short sleeves are sometimes puffs nearly
as big az the little maids head, and now
and then the frock is cut off the shoul-
ders in true 1880 stylee. Certainly the
satin skin seems too pretty to cover up,
though the crusty old doctor will say
Better cover it up with clothes than
