principles Of finance was then only dormant.
There was one great scheme that was the
principal standby of the women then for
raising money. 1t was the fair. Today the
fair has gone the way Of the lecture platform
and the singing school, and 1t would not
longer hold the popular favor No community
dared lift Its head unless 1t had either given
one or was going to give one, and the
great test of the patriotism of any town was
the amount it could raise by Its fair for the
cause.
The trained nurse has come to stay, and
there is no danger that the supply will for
a long time exceed the demand. Yet while
this is true, 1t must be admitted that a great
many families needing trained assistance, in
times Of illness cannot afford the expense of
the regular trained nurse.
Boston Is the first city in the country to
recognize this need and make an effort to
meet 1t. The special work is the training Of
women attendants carried on under the
auspices Of the Massachusetts, Emergency and
Hygiene association.
Its proposed aid is the training Of women
to be attendants in the care of convalescents
and feeble or elderly persons. Besides pos
sessing natural aptitude girl must take a
nine weeks course. This training by no
nurse and she Is not allowed to charge more
than 81 per week. Her work is confined to
convalescents.
This is new profession for women. For
these trained assistants occupy a position
midway between that Of the old-fashioned
nurse and the modern trained nurse, and in
deed they may be said to have a profession
which thus far is unique.
Mrs. Minnie Warner Irving, of California,
has pre-empted a tract of land in San Ber-
nard1no county, built, with the aid of an
old carpenter, a brick cottage. and proposes
to run bee ranch. Her enterprise thus far
has cost her $500.
The work of factory inspection is one CT
the newest fields of woman's work, and as
yet comparatively limited one, but there Is
no other in which feminine ability has been
more conclusively demonstrated, and there
can be no doubt that as time goes on It will
be more and more occupied by women. in
deed, they are so peculiarly fitted for Ger

MURAL ART IN TWIN CITIES.
Splendid Specimens Done by Mrs
Wang, of Minneapolis.

Some Of the finest specimens of mural art
In the Twin Cities are to be found in the
dining room of a house on Seventeenth street
in Minneapolis, formerly occupied by Dr. and
Mrs. Wang.
The work was done by Mrs. Wang, who Is
we'll known in St. Paul society circles, and
who, besides being a model hostess, Is an
artist of some note, whose work would rank
high with that OF better known painters IL
the little lady were not so exceedingly mod
est.
The house Of Seventeenth street is one of
a long brick row with the dining room in
the basement and was occupied by DR.. and
Mrs. Wang till early last fall .rhe dining
room was papered with an ecrue cartridge
paper when DR.. Wang first took possession
and the dirty condition OF the walls caused
Mrs. Wang many sigh. till a bright idea
came into her artistic little head Why not
paint the walls7
The creamy paper she thought would make
an excellent background for certain pictures.
TO think was to act, and soon she was at
work with oils and brushes and in a few
weeks time had covered the Objectionable
walls and panels with series of German
scenes and figures which have delighted the
tiers who have been guests at DR.. and Mrs.
Wang's table during their stay in Minneap-
oils, and which have caused friends and ac-
quaintances many pangs OF envy.
The pictures are done in wines, tans, greens
and white, some of the work being entirely
in outline, leaving the cream-colored wall pa
per for the body Of the design. The figures
are nearly life size, representing typical Ger
man men and women, the scenes being de-
voted to dancing. drinking and music and
the execution is wonderfully we'll done. As one
enters the dining room a fat German gives
greeting and with cap in hand wishes one
good health.
The next Is group of figures representing
a drinking scene. Then comes some merry
dancers. and near the windows Gretchen ap-
pears in quaint costume with tray and Cob
lets. A merry-faced boy with sword in hand
holds high goblet Of wine on the next wall

all other methods had failed"

orousy," 1t would have been one time that

A club woman remarked the other day
that 1t Is well to know that the habit of
blushing is not always caused by self-oon-
sciousness or bashfulness, but is often the
result OF diseased nervous system.
A conversation between two st. Paul women
lately would indicate that "Woman's
day." as the above writer speaks of it. had
already come Said one woman:
Il tell you I'd let a man scratch his nails
off before I'd get him anything to eat If he
didn't go to work. l wouldn't go out and

But the women are crowding the men out
OF everything" said the other mournfully.
Survival of the fttest?" suggested a third
party timidly.
Survival Of the cheapest came back in
angry chorus, and the party of the third part
did not dare to press the point that it was
the men themselves who employed the Cheap

cal things of everyday life are indifferently
turned away from. If the matter is brought
before literary club, 1t Is declined as being
too prosaic and not in the lines of culture

To add to the effect Mrs. Wang painted on
the doors OF the room huge hinges in imta-

arms and crests Of her own and DR.. Wang's
