The Kitchen Stove.

| 1t has been suggested, and with timeli-
crafts movement is making drawing
room and library furniture beautiful, a
little attention ought to be paid to the
kitchen stove. Why should this useful
and necessary piece OF furniture not be
built on simple and beautiful lines, as
well as a sideboard or a library table?
The reason undoubtedly is that peo-
pie will not pay for beautiful stove
as readily as for beautiful chairs and
tables and bookcases. The former will
not. as rule, be used by the mistress
Eof the house. or seen by her friends, and
the latter will. Whether this condition
Of things will ever change or not it is
impossible at the present time to say.
1t would be charming thing, unques-
tionably, II the present variety of
kitchen stove could be wiped off the face
Of the earth and replaced by one with
out the f1ligree ornament and unneces-
ize the range of the modern kitchen. The
first stoves made were much prettier than
those now turned out, because they were
simple and we'll l-consiructed and adapt
ed to their use; and the ld-fashioned
fireplace and oven were more pic
turesque than either. and in some ways
better adapted to cooking But it is not
to be thought that the housewife will
ever return to fireplace cooking; the
kitchen artist must confine himself to
the possibilities of the modified range !
There would really need to be very lit
tie modification beyond removing mis-
placed ornaments and useless so-called !
improvements. When a thing is made |
for use the lines of use and those of |
beauty are apt to coincide so nearly that |
the perfectly useful thing is also the
most artistic.

If one were to view for the first time map of
the United States of America, on which the States
were marked off by their respective boundaries and
on which were indicated only the natural features
of the country such its soil, its mines its forests
and its waterways, the eye would undoubtedly be
caught and held by that portion which comprises the
State of Michigan.
little to the west of the original colonies, the
State formed part of that great Northwest Terri
tory toward which were turned the steps Of those
ambitious and hardy pioneers who were anxious to
reap the full reward Of their successful struggles for
Independence Its settlers of the best and bold
est blood of the Republic, ard today there is re-
Aected in the citizenship of Michigan both the con-
servatism of the East and the energy and hopeful
ness of the West.
Above ALL Michigan is well balanced State; its
virtues are Of a varied nature. If noted for its
manufactures, it is far more famed for the mines
and the forests which furnish the material for
those manufactures. Of allied importance are the
great water powers whose development is only be-
ginning to challenge the attention of the industrial
world. In the lower peninsula, beginning at the

WOMEN IN ENGLAND.

In an interview in London Madams.'
September 13, Mrs. George CORVALLIS
West formerly Lady Randolph Church
ilD said some interesting things. She
thinks that there Is much more scope
for women in England than in America.
Speaking of the American invasion"
she said: IT think the advent of Ameri-
cans in English society has done much to
make the latter even more exclusive
than hitherto. In the first place. Ameri-
cans who have come over here have
spent vast sums Of money entertaining,
and living In style which was almost
unknown here before their coming. So
much money has been spent by them that
the English arbiters of fashion have felt
themselves compelled to adopt the Amer
lean lavish ways. This means that, In
order to keep up with the pace set by
Americans, only the wealthiest OF social
leaders can partake in the giving of
these grand functions You see the re-
suit: social affairs become more exclu
sive.
Taking English society in general.
however, I think it is far broader-mind-
ed than American social life." continued
Mrs. West. What mean is this: II
person be really clever, possesses talent,
or genius, he or she is far more readily
recognized here than in America. In
this country many persons owe their
prominence in society to their own merit,
which is often quickly recognized. For
Instance, a talented musician. or artist,
Or author. on once demonstrating his
ability, Is received here.
"In America, no matter what one ac-
The Washington times., 1902-09-27

complishes. it takes a longer time to
English people are far more prompt to
meet genius and talent halfway than
Americans.
Another point in which Americans
have created species Of revolution In
this country is the matter Of dress.
American women dress SO much more ar
tistically and tastefully than English
women that the latter have been COM
PEELED to effect some radical changes In
their appearance
Owing to her work in connection with
the hospital ship Maine Mrs. West has
been made Lady Of Grace Of St. John
Of Jerusalem, and has also received the
Royal Red Cross.
Mrs. West was next asked about her
literary ventures. Her famous anglo
Saxon Review'-one of the finest speci-
mems OF the printers art ever published
was withdrawn owing to its cost of
production, and the necessarily limited
public to which 1t appealed.
But Mrs. West has decided literary
taste. and pronounced turn for editing.
She has now in contemplation the
bringing out Of another periodical, which
is to be more on the popular plan than
was the "Anglo-saxon." Though she has
practically decided as to the form, style,
title, and other matters connected with
this publication. she is not prepared to
make any announcement as to details
Just yet. Associated with her in the
editorship will be her distinguished son.

The flier roared on the rails. and far
From the smoke Of the city she sped
away
AS the scorching sun shot ray on ray
OF with'ring heat o'er the whirling
plain,
With its thriving weeds and its fam
ished grain.
The train slowed up and the whistle
blew.
And a hamlet small. with spire or
two
And prosperous look, stood full in
sight,
With grocery signs both left and
right.
One lonely passenger there came
And took her seat on the dusty
train.
Opposite me she meekly sat.
Hidden a bit by her dainty hat,
Which plainly forbade that should

But might play game Of hide-and-

Meath the lace and the bows of it's

With the rosy face two eyes played

The people, he said, wanted relief from
