The New
Woman
BY ELIZA
ARCHARD CONNER


lege woman, has originated pleasant
occupation for limited number Of
her sex. For several years she was Il
successful newspaper writer; then she
turned to another field, which suited
her better. First, she took lessons in
scientific cookery. Being an educated !
woman, 1t was easy for her to master !
culinary matters. In thousands of !
homes in all the large cities gas is |
now used instead of coal for. cooking.
Owing, however, to the ignorance of |
the cooks and sometimes Of the mis- |
tress of the house herself the gas range |
does not always work satisfactorily. |
The range is blamed instead Of the |
acknowledgement of It, and the next |
thing that is said is that gas is no good |
for cooking, and its use as fuel is aban-
doned. This of course works to the in
jury of the gas companies. In one Of
the largest eastern cities a gas COM
pany employs Mrs. Swan to go to the
houses in which the range does not
give satisfaction to adjust it and TO
show the cook how to use it In the
most economical manner. Incidentally,
too, Mrs. Swan gives a cooking lesson
to illustrate her methods. She Is ex-
tremely tactful and is careful to give
no offense through assumption Of SUI
perior culinary knowledge. She has
learned thoroughly the mechanism of
gas stoves, and II one Is really out of
order she can clap her finger on the
exact spot and suggest the remedy.
The gas company gives her good sal
airy, and 1t pays it to do so, for she
is the best advertising agent 1T could
have. At the same time she shows
consumers how to economize gas for
fuel, how to manage their ranges and
incidentally how to cook many choice
dish. Mrs. Swan Is very successful in
her new work.
Recently | have heard of a lady who
Is the mother of IS children. Her hus-
band provided well for the numerous
progeny and she reared them to ma
turity-the whole IS. They are doing
we'll enough in the world. She and her
husband have comfortable income.
She was an admirable mother to the
children, sacrificing all the best years
of her life to them. Here is what she
says of the lot, IL raised them well, the
whole IS, and today could not depend
on one Of them for dinner If needed
to do So"
A mother can make no greater mis-
take than to sacrifice herself for her
children, wife can make no greater
mistake than to sacrifice herself for her
husband. 1t breeds the habit of self
ishness into the very ones they try to
help.

If you are languid and have no appe
tite these days and suffer from stom
ach troubles, try the no breakfast fad
DRINK water, nothing else, and eat
noting until II o'clock or perhaps
noon. Then eat whatever you like, bu'
take no drink with your meal. If yor
feel that you must have coffee, wall
till you finish eating and sip 1t slowly
afterward. There are those who claim
the no breakfast fad will cure almost
any disease. 1t certainly is an excel
lent remedy for dyspeptic disturbance
Two meals a day are enough for mos
people anyhow. .
The wife of a railway fireman wants
a divorce from him because he will no
wash the black off himself when hi
comes home. She is justified. Th'
court ought to grant that divorce in
stantly.
Chicago employs 1S2 women in vari
GUS city departments. This Is owinl
largely to the influence of that gallan
woman's rights man, young Mayo
Harrison.
The less people know about thih
the more opinions they generally nav
concerning it.
Bishop Barley says part OF Goo
punishment for woman in consequence
of her taking the apple was to. max
man the head of the family. Exactl.
But more disastrous admission col
corning his own sex could not nav
been made by Bishop Barley OF c
any other man. Woman had SO tran
crossed that she must be subjected
an awful punishment. and the wor'
that could be devised. even by the a
mighty, was to put man over her
her master.
