Dreas of Girl VINO WORKS.


1t hardly seems possible that in this
day and age II should be necessary to
say anything about how the girl who
works for living shoAld gown herself
but every now and then one sees a,
vision in some little clerk or secretary
that makes one eager to protest against
the wearing of tinery to an office.
The girl who overdresses when she
goes to business to help keep the wolf
from the door is usually young, very
young, and she has ideas about bright
ening up the dingy workaday world
and becoming a sunbeam to the unfor
tunate men who are plodding along to
fortune in her office
With this end in view she puts bow
of ribbon in her elaborate couture,
dons soiled silk waist and trailing
skirt and proceeds on her mission,
thoroughly satisfied with herself. En-
route she meets many older and more
worldly wise women attired In clumpy
shoes. short skirts aud plain shirt
waists, but she regards these pityingly
as grubs who lack aesthetic sense and
continues her butterfly existence until
age or experience or her employer leads
her to the knowledge that pretty fall
falls are not for wear during business
hours, but should be reserved for even
ings at home when there are social
friends to be impressed.

omaha,s woman Undertaker.


The undertakers of Omaha, Neb.,
have new competitor The following
sign has been swung out on West Cum
ing street:
Miss Jennie A. German, Licensed
Embalmer and Undertaken"
Miss German is an attractive young
woman who has graduated from sever
al schools of embalming and has Sc
cured licenses to practice her profess
sion in Iowa and Nebraska.
When it was suggested to Miss Cor
man that embalming is strange work
for woman, she Remarked:
1T is true that few women have tax
demand for women capable of assum-
ing charge of corpse and directing a
funeral. Women are peculiarly fitted
for this sort of work They have better
taste than men. and their artistic ma
lures make it possible for them to
drape shrouds and prepare flowers
much better than men.
II realized that there is need for wo-
men in this line of work and took it up
with the intention of making it my life
study. | am the first woman who has
been licensed to do embalming west of
Chicago aud feel sure that it win not
be long until more will follow in my
footsteps. So far have been very sue
cessful. The work is dangerous and
very trying. but like it.
Miss German is well educated. She
was born and reared in Omaha and is
the daughter of J. J. German, assist
ant superintendent of the Omaha Street
railway.

A pioneer settler set out grove Of
cottonwood trees on the prairie, and

carried into the cottonwood grove to
eat Many Of these Seeds were dropped
among the leaves. where they germi-
mated, and now the cottonwood grove
has been converted INTO a dne grove Of

We are asked why it is that certain
spots in field of corn will fire" dur
ing dry and hot time and others will
not. The cause of this firing is usu-
ally found in the fact that the corn is
planted too thick, thus exhausting the
moisture from the soil. A south side
hill or some spot fortified with coarse
manure will also be affected. but the
primary cause is the same in each case
lack of moisture.
