From the Woman's Home Companion.
Even the highest class of Japanese wo-
men have their household duties to per-
form, and, no matter how rich the family.
japanese girls are brought up to be able 10
sew. cook and attend to their homes.
In Japan the higher-class women never
go to market; the market comes to them.
That is, the dealers call and offer wares
for sale at their customers doors. The fish
merchant brings his stock, and IL any IL
sold, prepares it for cooking. The green
grocer, the sake dealer and, nowadays, the
meat man, all go to their patrons houses.
Nearly all Japanese women make their
own clothes: at all events, even the very
richest embroider their garments them
selves. They are very economical little
dressmakers and do much planning, cutting
and basting and making over.
Dinner is served at or a little before dusk

before each person. On this Is lacquer

Increase and "Real" Daughters.
The increase in the membership of the
D. A. r. this year has been immensely
pleasing to the leaders Nearly 5000 names
have been added to the register and forty
five new chapters have been formed. The
largest growth has been In the south, not
ably in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.
There has also been excellent growth in
the eastern states.
One of the interesting features of the So
ciety is its large membership Of real
daughters-daughters of men who fought
or of women who aided materially in the
advancement Of the cause of the new
Union. 1t was not supposed when the So
ciety was organized ten years ago that
there were over one hundred daughters of
revolutionary soldiers living. SO proud were
the chapters when they could claim real
daughter that they gathered in each one
they could find, and the national organiza-
ton finally concluded to present to each
real daughter a life membership, which
means that she pays no dues at all, and
a beautiful gold spoon, all engraved with
the name of the daughter. Not many are
born with gold spoons in their mouths, but
it Is certain that many will die with them
close at hand, who in revolutionary days
had only pewter ones, and these they melt
ed up to make bullets The roll of real
daughters has now grown to 900, and is
still growing, and the gold spoons, which
cost about So each, are forwarded with
monOtonous regularity as soon as the title
Is satisfactorily proved. Some Of the east
ern chapters have five and six Of the real
daughters.
The society puts out about two lineage
books a year, and the volumes now number
twelve with q thousand names to a book
The applications for membership are pains
takingly scanned and the lineage care
fully traced out before the application Is
accepted. These blanks are uniformly
bound, about 200 In a volume, and there
are over fifty volumes in the library. The
society is also collecting by states all the
historical works, state records, military.
records and papers that it can secure, and
has already a valuable reference library
for its researches.
The Paramount Issue.
The election of a head to this great pa
triotic society is of paramount interest in
the tenth continental congress, which will
convene in the Grand Opera House Tues
day morning. The incumbent Mrs. Man
ming, has served the society in the capacity
of president general three years, and is not
eligible to reelection under the constitu-
ton, or it might be that the election would
be as cut and dried as the counting of the
electoral vote nearly three months after the
election. Mrs. Manning has presided with
dignity and fairness over the sessions of
the congress and has been the fitting rep
resentatiVe of the society on many memo
rable occasions. The grace and charm of
her manner during the weeks that she rep
resented the society in Paris, the brilliancy

rather modest sum, as royal salaries run.
OF this sum less than $'5o,00o is available for
pin money. OF the rest s655,oo0 has to go
for household salaries, SS62, 500 to main
tenance of palaces and other official ex-
penses, and $4,000 to royal bounties.
Then, too, the crown provided for
goOdly part of its own salary at the begin
ming of Queen Victoria's reign by turning
over various personal estates to be admin
istered for the benefit of the nation. These
estates have proved so rich that they re-
duce the net cost of the whole outfit OF
royalty to $500 a year. In consequence,
it is not expected that there will be much
outcry in parliament when the bill to in
crease the kings salary is introduced
Even if another million dollars year is
added to his income he will come far be-
hind the car, who gets s5,O00000 a year
and has million square miles of land that
yield $15,00O,OO0 a year. The Emperor OF
Austria gets $4,500,000, Emperor William
of Germany gets 81, 500 OG0, the Sultan of
Turkey annexes $4,000. 900. and even poor
old Spain pays nearly sl,5O0,O00 to her little
king.
Lots of Other Changes.
So far as the general public is concerned,
the sudden change in the new kings for
tune is overshadowed by a really surpris-
ing number of changes that the queens
death brought in the daily life of the ma
tion-changes to which the man in the
street Is only just beginning to accustom
himself.
To begin with. the long Victorian age is
ended. 1t has been remarked that the age
which has just begun should be one of in
creased prosperity to London, on the ground
that the kings permanent residence here
will. no doubt, give a great flip to social
life, while the city should become more
interesting than ever to foreigners by rea-
son of his presence. Edward VII too, will
be emperor as we'll king, and the first
English sovereign who has ever held that
title.
. Most fruitful of all the sources of change
Is, of course, the difference in sex between
the late monarch and the present one, and
English men and women are finding 1t hard
to abandon many phrases now in common
use, not the least being those in the ma
tional anthem. So, too, the toast which

with which she assisted at the unveiling OF
the statues presented to France made hel
the subject of conversation in two CONT
nents, and served to deepen the esteem iT
which she was held by the society. The
question now is, on whom shall her mantle
fall?
Most prominent. perhaps, among the
many names that have been suggested are
those of Mrs. Cornelia Cole Fairbanks, wife
of Senator Charles Warren Fairbanks OF
Indiana; Mrs. Donald Mclean of New York
and Mrs. Washington Augustus Roebling of
New Jersey, all ladies of wealth, high So
cial position and good executive ability.
The Districts Favorite.
Mrs. Fairbanks is a western woman, but
her support comes from all sections. She
has the Endorsement of all the chapters Of
the District, and of the state regents of
Pennsylvania, Indiana, New York, Mary
land, California. South Carolina, North
Carolina, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ver-
mont, Connecticut and Washington state.
That is good handful to go into the con-
vention with, and her friends enthusias-
tically claim that she will be elected on the
first ballot. Mrs. Fairbanks is woman of
fine physique, almost girlish looking, and
as ruli OF energy as one usually finds the
western woman of affairs. She is one Of
the early members of the D. A. r. and
has worked untiringly for its interests 1t
is said at the headquarters of the national
society that her faithful services during
the Spanish-American war were most VAL
liable and efficient She is especially inter-
ested in the continental hall plans and
loses no opportunity to advance them She
is prominent member Of the National
Federation of Woman's Clubs, and Is one
of the leading figures in the Junior Re-
public movement. Philanthropy and char
itableness are twin sentiments to Mrs
Fairbanks, and she practices both She is
an ideal leader, all gentleness and grace,
but firm on occasion. Mrs. Fairbanks has

RUGS AND CARPETS,
Increasing Sales of the One to the
Exclusion of the Other.

From the Textile Manufacturers Journal
The manufacture of rugs is by no means
new industry in this country, for the
manufacture of the Smyrna rug is a we'll
established industry. To what extent the
rug business has cut into the strictly car
pet business cannot be told, but that 1t Is
apprecably felt by the latter goes without
saying, and that it is making constant in
roads upon it is also admitted by all. No
review of the carpet situation is complete
without noting the influence and potency
of the rug business as an adverse factor
in IT.
The growth and the expansion Of the rug
industry has been wonderful in the last
five years, and it may be said that within
a twelvemonth it has taken start for
ward gaining a momentum which promises
much for the future. 1t is not difficult
to ascribe the cause for this movement or
at least for a considerable portion of It,
but it may be difficult to say whether or
not this movement carries with it that per-
manency and stability which goes with
most industries. Yet one cannot ignore
the fact that there is associated with this
business the idea of adaptability and of
suitability which seem to argue in favor of
its permanence.
The rug as it is known today is different
from the rug Of two decades, or even dec
ade ago; 1t has different place in the
question of household economy, and 1t Is
this very question of economy which has
made the place 1Or II. CF0Wueu CltleS mean
small apartments, shifting population, and
expedients. The rug is utility carpet, one
that will fill emergencies. that is well
adapted as an expedient. This unquestion-
ably has done much to encourage the sale.
The ingenuity of the manufacturer in de-
vising the ways and means to meet the
wants of the people along these lines has
done much toward increasing the market.
Judging from what has been done the
last few years it might be said that the rug
business today is in an initial move
ment, one that is likely to reach great
proportions with recurring years, and that
there are even those who believe it will to
large extent supersede and displace the
regular carpets; that it is an advance in
household economy. In any event, the rug
of today promises well for the future, and
the struggling ingram manufacturers, as
well as those who are fighting formidable
competition in other branches of carpet
manufacturing, may look to this one branch
of the industry as offering them an escape
from the heaviness and depression Of their
trade. The one who realizes at the start
the evolutions in trade, getting In the
| movement early, is the one who succeeds
best.

Linen for Brides.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Among brides belongings, when possl-
BILE, should always be included centerpieces,
tray cloths and doilies, embroidered or
with drawn work or lace. She should
keep one best set Of a tablecloth and nap
kins for dinner parties. Her allowance in
purchasing should be at least eight nap
kins. large and small, for every member
Of her household. The dinner napkins are
large, sometimes nearly a yard square.
Breakfast napkins are smaller and fringed
tea napkins are used for luncheon.
The smallest allowance possible for beds
is six sheets, pillow and bolster cases for
each bed At least dozen face towels
should be provided for each member Of
the family. An old fashion in sheets Is
now being revived by fastidious housekeep-
ers. These are sheets cut long enough to
fold we'll over the blanket and reach with

grams or initials are placed directly over
the middle of the HEM Pillow cases should

New Credentials Needed.
Every ambassador to the court Of ST.
James Will have to be provided with brand
new credentials. All officers of the British
army and navy have had to take the oath
of allegiance all over again. All coroners
inquests had to be postponed until these
officials could be sworn into the service
afresh.
There have been a tremendous lot of
changes In the Church of England prayer
book, too. and 1t will be odd if many cler
ical tongues do not trip over one or another
of them. In all the prayers, litureies and col
lects the word Victoria gives way to
Edward" and "our sovereign lady to
Edward Prince of Wales" will have to be
forgotten, while the prayers of the right
eOus. instead of mentioning the princess of
Wales will be offered for "our gracious

church service as the Duke and Duchess
of Cornwall and of York" If the Duke
eventually receives the title of Prince of
Wales from his father the prayer books

Boom for Sign Painters.
Charitable institutions. hospitals and
many different societies of which the queen
was patron bewail the fact that all their
present stock of stationery must be put
right. Printers and sign painters, however
do not share this gloom, for their order
books are full TO overflowing. Every gov

Among others upon whom the blow will fall
are thousands of shopkeepers all through
the united Kingdom, whose windows and

such a dainty one that its popularity is as

over white satin, with two Hounces trimmed
with lace and insertion. The waist is OF

gown, but an exceedingly expensive one, Is
made of lace and net, with bands of satin
folds on the underskirt. The waist is
