Gentlewoman ,uousekeepers.

The millennium of the housekeeper
has come when she is promised real,
live gentlewoman to brush the hearth
and put the plates away" A new So
ciety has been formed for the elevation
OF the cook stove, not that it is to surren-
der its old place in the basement-at
least that has not been promised-but
that its operator shall be lifted to the
same standing, social, economical and
professional, as n professional nurse.
In order to accomplish this, to estab-
hsh standard of gentility from the be-
ginning. it is the purpose to exclude any
one who has the unhappy preparation Of
a previous condition of servitude. I"
She is promised to "milady," in all the
virginia. purity of the reduced gentle
woman. who has never had to work
for her living before.
The society has begun life with tho
name of Society of Gentlewomen Home
makers. 1t offers prizes in the way of
badges of honor to the first 100 gentle
women who take positions in families
as homemakers.
The society will have cooking and
training school for the benefit of those
who know something of the work, but
are not entirely competent.
"Women's work for women" is the
motto of the society, and to all who
send request it will issue q list of
proofs which will convince the most
skeptical of ambitious women rs to the
desirability of woman S work over bust
ness By this means it expects to rid the
long suffering housewife of incompetent
cooks who demand high wages, and
provide her with jewel of cook who
traces her ancestry back to the colonial
danes. The new society means business

Miss Cecilia Beaux.

Miss Cecilia Beaux Of Philadelphia is
pupil of the Academy Julien, and she
there came under the instruction and in
fiuence of Bouguereau, Constant, Tony
Roberts and Carolus Duran. Her tech
nlque is, as might be supposed, entirely
French, suggesting strongly the methods
of Carolus Duran and of Sargent, but
her individuality has triumphed over all
suggestions of her foreign masters, and
the combination Of strength and refine
ment in her work is all her own. All
portrait painters know how difficult it is
to catch the rapidly fleeting expressions
on the face Of child Quick and accu-
rate must be the brush that fixes such fast
flowing variations.
A good example-called Ernesta-of
Miss Beaux's ability in this direction
was exhibited Mt the American artists
exhibition OF 1894. The little face tells
its own story. With suddenly aroused
curiosity, which you instinctively feel is
but passing phase to be changed with
the quick in consequence of the baby
brain. the child would rush forward, but
Is held in check by the strong hand of
the nurse, of whom only one arm and
part OF the apron are visible, and yet so
well are these handled that the pose of
the unseen woman is perfectly indicated
In not very long career this artist
has had her share of honors. She has
held four times the Mary Smith prize
awarded by the Philadelphia Academy
of Fine Arts She won tho Norman
Dodge prize at the National Academy
of Design in 1898. In the same year she
was elected a member of the Society of
American Artists. In 1894 she was made
an associate Of the National Academy
OF Design, being the only woman who is

A Codo Of Honor For women.

A discussion has lately arisen respect
ing code of honor for women. The ad-
vanced woman needs one. If she is to
compete with men in mems work she
must adopt the code which men have
found effective and practical. She must
learn to hold her tongue, to respect 9TH
er peoples business other peoples Sc
crets, other peoples letters She must
not pry, or tell white lies, or do little
mean underhand actions. In fact, a
mans honor must be woman's This
will necessitate q complete change in
woman's prejudices, opinions and con-
duct. For while in quiet heroism, il.
steady performance of duty, in unsclfsh
sacrifice, even in moral courage, women
bear the palm, they decidedly have not
that keen sense of honor, that convic-
ton that certain courses, not necessarily
wicked per sc, would be accounted dis
honorable, which possesses the soul Of
public school man.
Women are too apt to be Jesuitical
and Justify the means by the end. to
gloss over slips and errors of Judgment
and small unfairnesses so long as the
result is good. They are much harder
in their judgments, or tickle in their
households, narrower in their preju-
dlces, than men who have seen the
world and learned to respect others lib
erty and others individuality rs much
as their own. A keen sense of honesty
will certainly strengthen and beautify
women's character and probably make
them easier to live with Whether it
may alter other vital qualities of their
nature remains to be seen. London

The Pocket Problem.

Oh, -pockets-pockets Did
You ever try to get dressmaker to put
pocket in your dress and watch her
manufacture excuses? "You can't have
pocket in this style of skirt, ma am %
But want one %
There isn't any place"
"Then make one.
II can't There is no place to make.
You wouldn't have pocket to spoil
that seam, now, ould you? 1t would
bulge you out juA, awful"
Horrid thought which gives the vic
tim pause. Then the seance resumes:
why can't you put slanting pocket
nearly to the front? I've seen a lot of
tailor made dresses with just such peck
cts. They are little on the trousers or
der, ! suppose. but they are better than
nothing!"
Dressmaker (pityingly)-They would
be worse than nothing i'll that dress. The
goods would all fray out in no time, and
then where would your pocket be?
II don't care where it would be
'ihen," you cry, $50 long as I know
where it is now. Whercat your dress
maker fires her parting shot. "And the
first thing you know you'll put your
purse in there and get your pocket
picked If you carry your money in
yonr hand, you know where it is, but /
wouldn't tempt thieves with pocket
for anything-but -
And when your dress comes home you
don chatelaine bag and wear a bald
spot on your skirt by its rubbing. The
dressmaker has given you no pockets -
