ARTISTIC LIGHTING
How an Artist Secures a Becoming
a.5 H.. Light.

How an Artist Secures Becoming
The studio was lit for the occasion by tiny
lights that seemed to be everywhere yet were
seen nowhere. The artist thus explains how
she did it.: "In number of glasses-some
are plain or cut glass tumblers, some COL
ored wineglasses-I put water to about one
third the depth. and then pour in another
third Of oil. For this use the cheap Ameri
can salad oil. In each I put a might wick,
such as one buys for few cents a, box from
the grocer, each box holding two or three
dozen. The tiny wick floats on the oil. and
when lit will burn twelve hours.
/. 1.-THE glasses l place in all sorts of out-of
the-way corners, and they give the dearest
little light, soft as moonlight. 1t is a very
becoming light, too. Hostesses are too in
different to the effect of lights upon the ap-
pearance Of their guests. A brilliant illumi-
nation brings out all the inciDient wrinkles
In any woman over 25-and men, too. I do
not see why one should not be merciful to
the men also. Now, such light as I have
described answers every practical purpose,
and has an artistic value that adds greatly to
the charm of the evening. 1t has an added
psychological effect, too. People always seem
to be more easily diverted when the lights are
dim and colored. The color has something to
do with it, I suspect. No tint should pre-
dominate A general mingling of red, blue,
green and white lights makes the prettiest
and most restful Illumination. The subdued
light causes certain reposefulness that tends

AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT
The Oldest Dressmaker's Bill in the
~ World.

World.
Among the documents which have lately
been discovered in Chaldea is tablet which
may we'll be called 1.-The Oldest dressmaker's
bill in the world 1t was the custom of the
Babylonian kings to present to the temple
sets OF robes for the use of the priests and
priestesses. This was usually done every
year. Many of these lists are in the British
Museum. The Oldest hitherto known has
been that of a king about 1850 B. c. The
document now discovered is, however, much
older. The tablet is of limestone, and was
found in the ruins of the temple in the city
of Nipur, in southern Chaldea. This temple
was dedicated to the 'sghost god,' and had
large priesthood attached to it. From the
style Of the writing, which is extremely ar
chaic, and from the curious sytem Of numer
ais employed, the tablet, it is said, cannot
be OF later date than $500 B. c. 1t contains
list of ninety two estments which were
presented to the temple by the king. The
name of the king is, unfortunately, omitted.
The inscription ends with the words: ''ln
all, ninety-two vestments the bill QisD Of
the temple for the priests this year." Many
of the words are unknown, and are doubt
less technical terms employed by the mo-
Gste of that period.
Among the items are: Twelve white robes
of the temple, eight robes Of the house Of his
lady, ten collars Of the house of his lady, ten
pure gold collars, two white robes" An item
toward the end of this curious bill-"four
scented robes'-is suggestive of the passage
In Psalm xiv, in which are mentioned the
robes .redolent of "myrrh and aloes and
cassin." ..-....
| 1t was evidently the custom in Babylon to
perfume the robes, as it is at present in India
| and Persia. This document is of value as
showing the great development which had
! taken place in the textile arts in Chaldea,
/ even at that early period. ~ 1,.'-- s. ...-

THE FEDERATI0N OFFICERS
Mrs. Decker Refuses to Accept a
Nomination From the Floor,
. but Gets a Large Vote.

$ Los Angeles, May 8.--The General, Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs closed its bien-
NAL convention here last night. The
election which was the chief business OF
the day proceeded with such disorder that
Mrs Condo Hamlin of st. Paul made
motion that a committee be appointed to
devise saner manner of conducting cleo
-tions. Her motion carried. - s ;
The election resulted in the choice of
the following list Of officers:
President-Mrs. Dimies T. s.. Denison,
New York, t
First Vice President-Mrs. Robert j. Bur-
dette, California. -
Second Vice President-Mrs. Emma Fox.
Michigan. .tE..&
Recording secretary-Miss Louise Pappen-
helm, South Carolina - :
/, Treasurer-Mrs Emma Van vechten, Iowa.
+ Auditor-Mrs. George Moves. Wisconsin.
Directors-Mrs. Anna D. West. Massachu-
sets; Mrs. J. G. Terril, Texas; Mrs. Jane
Humphrey, Kansas; Mrs. Lydia Phillips
Idaho; Mrs. William Elliott. Maryland; Mrs.
w. w. Boyd, Missouri; Mrs. w. A. Neldan,
Utah.
Some of Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker s keen
ly disappointed friends who has urged her
for president for four years, led an upris-
ing against the nominating committee,
Mrs. Gallagher of Ohio nominating Mrs.
Decker from the floor. Mrs. Decker
promptly arose and repudiated the action
and declined the honor. Nevertheless, abe
received vote of 25S votes against 667
for Mrs. Denison.
Aside from passing upon amendments to
the bylaws of the convention settled the
charter matter by accepting the report
of that committee, while the report OF the
committee which suggested the erection
Of a "hal1 of philanthropy" at st. Louis
was referred to the board of directors,
the convention evidently being over
whelmed by the demand of 100000 as
their contribution toward the plan.
A motion Of Mrs. Coonley Ward Of Illi-
nois specifying that for the next two years
the federation devote it's energy to the
institution, maintenance and improvement
of the child labor laws, was adopted. as

Three Girls Fall UNCONSCIOUS In
Basketball Game,
ONE is CARRIED FROM FIELD
Contest Between Juniors and Seniors
at Chicago Excels Football
In Its Fierceness.

Chicago, May 9.-University OF Chicago
co-eds practiceds football tactics in their
contest for basketball prestige on their
new athletic field yesterday, and the re-
suit was that one girl was carried from
the game, and two others had to be re-
vived with water before they could con-
tinue. The injured:
- Miss Charlotte Bickell, junior, felled in
a. scrimmage, trampled on and found help
less; revived with water, but taken to her
dormitory room.
g5s. Miss Margaret Goldstein, junior, rem
dered unconscious by rough play; revived
by cold water treatment.
Miss Grace Moore, senior, felled in
fierce rush near goal; revived by cold
water treatment 81
Captain Agnes Wayman is leader of the
senior college team She was captain OF
the Junior college team last year. Largely
through her strength and skill, that squad
was able to win the basketball champion
ship of the university last year and Miss
Wayman was eager to win the honor
again. The first game was played fort
might ago, and after fierce contest the
score stood a tie to 9.
Miss Bickell First to Fall.
Miss Bickell was the first coed to fall
in the final contest. She was refreshed
with water, and fans were brought into
play. After she had taken full time tore
cover, she declared her intention OF con-
tinuing in the match. She did continue.
She went into the scrimmages more
fiercely than before.
The next victim Of exhaustion was Miss
Goldstein. After her neck and forehead
were bathed in cold water for sometime,
she declared that she would continue the
play
I Captain Wayman's senior team was be-
ing defeated, and the injuries only made
them the more keen for the fray. They
scored goal after fierce scrimmage,
but in the struggle Miss Bickell was
trampled under foot An intermission fol-
lowed this goal, and it was only then the
co-eds saw that they had left one OF their
number helpless on the field.
Her mates ran to her assistance and
dashed water into her face. It was use
Hess this time, for she was completely
exhausted She was carried from the field
and Miss Helen Brandies took her place.
I Play was resumed. The seniors had an
other point to make to even the score.
However, the loss of their team mate
made the juniors more. aggressive than
ever, and they rushed the seniors of their
| feet. r. -
| Another girl fell near the senior goal
This time it was senior, Miss Moore
| She was revived in football fashion and
was able to continue the game
The juniors won the contest with a to.
I tai of 7 points to their opponents 8.

EARRINGS WITHOUT EAR-PIERc1NG.

EARRINGS WITHOUT EAR-PIERCING.
A revival of earrings which has been per-
iodically announced during the last FIVE or six
years has, this season, decidedly material
lied. Smart young women are adding to their
jewel boxes many pairs Of earrings that
it is possible to use these ornaments without
the painful preparatory process Of piercing
the lobe Of the ear. The new earrings go on
with patent clamp attachment, which adjusts
them securely End easily at the proper place.
A single large pearl, fitting close to the ear
lobe, is of the most popular designs.
though almost an equal favorte is corn
bination of this pearl with more dia-
| monds just above it. A silversnaith is the
| authority for the statement that a pair Of
solitaire pearl earrings is the most popular
of expensive Easter gifts.

BEFORE THE PUBLIC EYE

An over1owing house attested the popular
ity of Miss lone Latharneand Fred G.. Patter-
son, of the dramatic department of the John

graduation recital, given jointly. The work
of the two afforded an agreeable contrast and
gave variety to the program which was one
Of unusual interest and merit Miss Latham
evinces much ability las a reader, being espe-
cially suited in comedy work.. Her opening
reading of Mark Twain's delightful story
The Death Disk, 81 was especially ympathet-
ic and showed real dramatic power. Mr.. Pat
terson exce1s in character work. as was
shown in his reading Of the miser scene from
''Chimes of tNormandy.'' He gives promise
of doing excellent dramatic work. his reading
being intelligent and artistic. The comedietta,
1.-The Mouse Trap by Mrs. Burton Harrison,
was capitally played. stirring mp gales of in
fictitious laughter without overstepping the
bounds of proper restraint. The young play
ers were spontaneous and unaffected.
Musical numbers were furnished by Mrs.
Vera Leavitt Latham and Walter Ellis. The
graduates are pupils of Clayton D. Gilbert.
Miss Gertrude Hull gave a charming piano
| recital at Conservatory hall last evening, the
room being completely filled by friends of the
young pianiste. A choice program was rem
dered, Including the Schuett Carnival
Mignon,' two movements from the &c So
nata' of Mozart. and selections from the
works of Saar, Iljinsky. Chopin and Raft.
Miss Hull's playing was characterized by a
daintnes of technique and delicacy of touch
that was very charming. The Chopin mum
hers we're especially fine. and were played
with much feeling. Applause was apprecia-
tive and frequent and Miss Hull was the
recipient Of many sincere congratulations.

Only Work When Driven to 1t by
Hunger.
Carson, the capital of Nevada, is probably
the only city in the country where the hired
girl is squaw, These squaws are all
designated by the. handy cognomen sally"
Sally opens the kitchen door without the
formality Of knock, and says "Mahaylie
(woman), you want work done?" Or simply,
me heap hoEadi," which signifies that she
is very hungry and desires to work for a
meal.
II you are an Eastern woman this is apt
to frightsn you into fits the first time. But
after a bit you welcome Sally gladly and
set her to serubbing the floor or washing
dishes or clothes. Sometimes there is Sally
who will come regularly for weekly wash
day, but generally they will work only when
they are driven by hunger.
The squaWs never stay in Carson over
night. and no eastern woman fails to look
from her window at sunset and watch than
slowly making their way along the trail in
Indian file to their homes in the forest.
