How Two Girls Made Money.

"A country girl who is determined
to 60 to Paris to study art is laying
aside, for this purpose, each dollar she
has earned" writes Ruth Ashmore in
an article on THE Girl In the Coun-
try"
She found that there was no one
else in the village who could make as
good bread and biscuit as she; that
those who had to buy complained OF
the bakers bread. She made no effort
at sending her bread to a Woman's Ex-
change, as she knew that such places
were always overstocked, but she went
through her own town-a very small
one-and. asked for orders. She Is
making money because there has new
err been a sad loaf Of bread or a heavy
biscuit sent out from her kitchen. She
will supply a neighbor with hot bis
cults at tea time, and she has learned
to make dainty rusk, especially for in
valids, who enjoy these light. sweet
dainties. Her prices are reasonable.
Another girl, ambitious to gain
something, got her father to let her
have a bit of ground, and to give her
the money that he would otherwise
have bestowed upon her for a wedding
dress. With this she was able to buy
plants and to hire a boy to help her;
and during the summer, while the
boarding houses around demanded
them, she served the freshest OF a
ishes. the crispest of lettuce, the earli-
est corn, and the largest tomatoes;
and she says now that she thinks she
will double the size Of her garden next
summer"

work. She has a wide, a noble sphere
Of her own; the whole world of do
nestle and social and moral enjoyments
and duties is open to her. In educa-
ton, literature, religion. she is the
companion. in truth, often the mentor,
of the stronger sex. Yet Nature and
Providence have assigned to her the
quiet and retirement Of private life
while dicharging her important trusts,
a station she should consider a privi-
lege.
They harped on woman's duty and
responsibility, mentioning only in
brief, matters SO ephemeral as her
pleasure and happiness.
The picture on this page Of this issue
shows that m in 1887 had come to
discredit the becoming hair-pufings
and side face curls Of the years just
preceding. There appears. also, an at
tempt at hair decoration which pres
ages the close, unbecOming bonnet
that distinguished the '40s. What the
fashion did not accomplish In the way
OF rendering women's necks unlovely
by dragging the little curls away, was
done by the bonnet with the valance.
Between 1897 and 1910 nothing Of
rare interest eventuated In woman's
clothing. Fashions continually were
getting away from the tasteful lines
and colorings OF the early '30s. Parts
Of costumes were big or little without
reference to others. And, as will be
seer by consulting the pictures. in a
season when some women were dress
ing with pitiful severity. others were
tricked out with ribbon-bows and mis-
~cellanies. One woman was wearing

BEATING FATHER TIME.
The Mormon Bishop Was Frightened Mt
the Speed.

'pNN
From the Chicago Record: Speed
was once demonstrated on a western
road in a fashion to curl the hair Of
at least one old Mormon bishop. The
churchman considered 1t a phenom-
enon, and got off the train as quickly
as he could. He had bull whacHed
across the plains in the early days,
and, strange to say, had never ridden
on a railroad train until the time when
he entered upon his trip from Green
River to San Francisco. The speed
was, therefore. a revelation to him.
He had never before seen anything so
swift, and he was scared. About
twelve miles from Ogden he asked the
conductor for the time Of day, and was
told that 1t was 1885. He impressed
this time forcibly on his mind. Now.
for a wonder, the western connection at
Ogden was quickly made, and after
the lapse. Of but a few minutes the
San Francisco-bound travellers were on
their way Californiaward. Ogden had
been left behind only a few miles, and
the train vas whooping along at q be-

bishop, frightened and trembling,
dared to ask the conductor what was
the time Of day. II you have travelled
westward you know that at Ogden the
time changes, and San Francisco time,
n hour earlier, Is adopted. The con-
ductor had San Francisco time and he
said:
1T Is 7:10-ten minutes after seven"
The old bishop, previously haunted
by a dread Of impending destruction
because of the horrible rate Of speed
at which he was being whirled through
space, rose with a wild cry and made
for the door.
"Lemme off," he cried. 1T was 80
minutes after Z an hour ago, an we're
goin' SO fast we are goin' faster than
time car count itself. Lemme on"
Had he really been going as fast as
the old man had believed, he would
surely have been beaten to bits as he
jumped from the train. AS it vas he
was only rolled something like a half
mile, and was carried back to Ogden
on a handcar.

ley. Parasols were smaller than bon
nets. and were used only In the hope Of
shading the face.
In 1912 trains came in for a time. but
they were not worn to balls. 1t was
thought that trains were suitable only
for on the promenade and for half
toilette.
This. too. was the period when no
lady felt dressed II she was without a
lace handkerchief held gingerly betwixt
her thumb and first finger. Lace mitts
we're in favor. Gloves. from season to
