How to Deal With the Hats.

We shrink from undertaking to rule
woman's dress by law, under any cir
cumstances, in the manner proposed by
the bill to abolish the so called ''thea-
ter hat We hate either to smooth out
or to create wrinkle in the feminine
fashions, which, though they come in
all shapes and devices, are invariably
charming. The girls always make US
think also that they are becoming. We
don't know how they do it, but they do.
We confess that we have never seen a
fashion in woman's dress which we
would not have dreaded to see changed
had it not been for entire confidence that
its successor would be equally pleasing.
The theater hat is not half SO bad as
it is painted. AS the luck of the day
would have it, this large, outrageous,
befeathered or bespangled fixture has
been vastly more perfect in its art and
more attractive in itself than the major
ity of the plays which so many COM
plain it has shielded from them. The
latter have not known when they were
we'll off Moreover, the antihat bill, be-
sides being too sumptuary for our taste,
represents too spasmodic an attempt to
regulate the habits of women through
state legislation. IF it should be en-
acted, we believe that great many wo-
men would refuse to go to the theater,
and much of the charm of the pit would
DO gone, or there might be most unde-

but perhaps if I describe a certain ia
bic, and few little ovens, which look
like safes, in the large, bright, class
room kitchen, it may explain itself
The table was an ordinary one, to the
casual observer, of uppainted wood
Miss Fairclough stood beside it, rolling
pastry, while i'll front, in a neat little
row, were six cooking utensils All
were of bright and shining copper and
steel, from the kettle to the futed
''griller, " and they simply stood on the
table without any fire or apparent signs
of heat Yet there, on the griller, was
a chop cooking gayly away, with an in
dependent airs i'll the kettle water was

noticed, too, that bowl of chrysan-
themums was not in the slightest degree
disturbed by the neighborhood of the
kettle.
I learned that all the cooking at the
Gloucester Road school is done by cleo
tricity, that the two months trial has
resulted in brilliant success, and that,
though the weird table and its contents
suggested a scene from fairyland, where
all the viands are prepared by enchant-
ment, it was all very simple and prao-
teal indeed. No other means of cook
ing is so eminently satisfactory and free
from all disagreeable Accomplishments,
according to Miss Fairclough. Unless a
house is lighted by electricity the pre-
liminaries are expensive; afterward the
process has been proved most econom-
ical
Fully protected wires, connecting at
the main, run unobtrusively up the top
of the table, and each cooking utensil is
especially made to connect with its own
particular little ''knob' would that
knew the technical name, but there
are six of them-beneath the overlap
ping edge in front. Then the kettle, or
grilIer, becomes as hot as may be re-
quired, and the process of cooking is tri-
umphantly accomplished.
The ovens, too, though not as star
Ting in appearance, were soon proved to
my satisfaction to be equally delightful.
Each one, and Miss Fairclough has sew

"Calamity" Weller Collects Both Dam
ages and Insurance.
New HAMPTON, la, Feb. ia very
peculiar law suit, nvolving a point
which seems to have never been decided
by any court in Iowa, has been on trial
here for the past seven days.
l.. II. Weller, eX-cOngressman, also
we'll known as Calamity" Weller, owns
a farm mile or two south of town. He
had certain amount of hay insured in
the Chickasaw Farmers Insurance Co.
last season. The Chicago Great Western
railroad crosses a corner of his farm and
during the dry weather last summer a
fire was started that consumed hay esti.
mated at value of 5000. He filed a
claim for damages and after a time was
allowed nearly $500, which amount COW
cred the loss upon the hay insured in the
County Mutual.
At the same time he was negotiating
with the insurance company for the pay
ment of the loss and within day or two
after the date of settlement with the
railroad company, he was paid 800 for
the loss by the insurance company,
thereby receiving double pay for
the hay consumed When the
insurance company learned of his
having also received pay for his hay
from the railroad they began an action to
recover back the 800 paid by them. His
defense was that he was entitled to pay
for damages caused by the railroad COM
pany's neglect, and also for the amount
of insurance, because he had paid pre-
MUM for such insurance. He took the
ground that there was no distinction be-
tween his position and that followed in
case of injury to person who was in
sured against accident
The case was stubbornly fought, but
Judge Fellows decided absolutely against
Weller, and giving a judgment for the
amount of insurance paid The case has
been appealed to the supreme court.

A Vision In Black.

Word comes from Paris of the extraor-
binary popularity Of black gowns in the
French capital They can hardly be
more in evidence there than here. In
one row at a matinee the other after
noon 21 women were wearing plain
black, and eight more had black trim
mings and effects introduced in their
costumes. Two women in the row wore
toilets in which no trace of the prevail
ing somber hue was visible, and it has
to be confessed that they were the least
well dressed in the number.
The latest combination with black
is gold. This is newer than the light
green's and reds of the last season and is
going to take the place of the cold, un-
becoming but until now much worn
bluet.
Chiffon has received its congo. too,
along with it's equally popular compan-
ion of the winter, the corndower blue.
The latest dancing gowns have lace in
stead of chiffon. and the Easter toilets
are to show this garniture very extern
sively used.
New spring woolens will have a
rough or wrinkled weave, entirely dis
placing even for tailor made wear the
smooth surface cloths. The high favor
in which crepon is and is still to be held
is responsible for this. Crepon in every
shade, design and quality is to be used,
and it will be possible to have an entire
outfit of this fabric with a satisfying
variety in color and purpose.-New

DR.. Annie W. Williams, who was ap-
pointed recently bacteriologist in the
New York health department., is ma
tive of New Jersey. After few months
study in Leipsic under tutor she en-
tered the Women's Medical college of
the New York infrmary. She was grad
uated with the class of 1892. At the re-
opening of the college she was appointed
an assistant of DR.. John S. Ely, professor
of pathology.
Up to this time she had devoted her
self chiefly to anatomical subjects. Per-
mission is given at times by the health
authorities to students who wish to
make study of bacteriology to use the
laboratories. The favor was granted to
Miss Williams last June, and she won
the approval of the authorities. All her
best work has been on diphtheritic
germs, developing the bacilli in tubes,
mounting slides for the microscope and
describing the results. Her work was
neither difficult nor very far advanced,
but the results were thorough and the
conclusions final, which was more de-
sired by the heads of the department
than brilliancy.
Miss Williams is below the medium
height and possesses pleasant features.
Her hair is dark brown and is worn
combe5 back from her wide, low fore
head. Her eyes are blue. She has a
slight lisp. At the college she was con-
graduated warmly by her superiors and
the students over whom she has super
vision. Her classmates always predicted
great things of her and believe already
that their predictions have been verified

Couldn't See the Commissioner.

0OuAOAb sec inc commissioner
The woman up to date has blossomed
into the full flower of her capabilities
when she is at last accredited to be the
equal of mSn in any of his undertak-
lngs. Triumphant she scorns any DEM
onstrations of inequality and asserts
her right and fitness to any office from
police commissioner and place in the
board of charities and corrections to
pension bureau. She is fast throwing
aside the Anticipated conventions which
restricted her sex to recognition of GER
tain customs and celebrations which
had been woman's from time out of
mind.
But there are still few little con-
ventionalities which even the end of the
century woman, despite her boasted
emancipation, hesitates to thrust aside,
and so still observes them, who shall
say from force of habit?
a little brown eyed woman, who
keeps step with the coming woman by
transacting her own business affairs,
went to the Office of a Broadway COM
missioner the other day on legal er-
rand. The business card of the firm
promises that deeds may be executed fo1
any state in the Union, passports Sc
cured and all the other things which
woman may do as we'll as a man attend

We heartily recommend that instead
of putting the hat bill on the statute
books the legislature should throw it
overheard and pass resolution declar-
ing the sentiment of the representatives
of the state that the wish of those pre-
ferring to see the doings of the stage in
stead of the intervening construction of
the milliner be respected, and that the
objectionable hats which go with wo-
men to the theater come off or be cut
down. Let us first appeal to woman'T
