A RePrigerati ng Egg Now.

UndPeamGd luxuries are being show
erred upon us thick and fast la these
opening years Of the twentieth CEN
tury.
"0ne Of the most unique of recent
inventions is a refrigeratine egg" says
Gold Storage. 1T ia capsule of
nickel1plated copper Of the siae and
shape Of hens egg. 1t is hollow and
nearly filed with water. Being placed
in freezing mixture its contents in
a short time become ice.
"If you have a glass of milk that
is not cold enough and you object to
putting ice into it on account OF the
addition of water to the beverage, and
you have one Of these eggs at hand,
you may drop it into the glass and in
few moments the liquid is reduced
to the desired temperature. In the
same way If you desire to cool your
cup of coffee and are too high toned
to pour it into the saucer and drink
1t therefrom, this little frozen egg will
relieve the embarrassment of the situa-
ton. This same idea is applicable to
any other drink"

woman,s Place in Golf.

When women in America first began
to play golf they were allowed at many
OF the big clubs to use the links only
at certain hours on certain days when
it was thought that their presence
would not incommode the Lords of
Creation.
The first courses laid out in America
were very short and consequently
easy. That of the Morris County Club,
one of the finest in the country then,
as now. had in those days but seven
holes and not one of them was over a
drive and iron shot in length. The
women were therefore able to reach
them with a drive and brassey, and so
were as well off as the men, and their
scores soon began to compare very ia
vorably with those OF their masculine
competitors. This was also true of
other courses and clubs, and the wom-
en- naturally asked for the privilege Of
playing at any and all hours. urging
as an excuse their ability to make low
scores.
After much hesitation and head shak-
ing on the part Of those men who,
never having had sisters, had no idea
Of the physical capabilities Of a girl,
permission was granted.
The women took their hardly won
permission with JOY, and proceeded
to demonstrate that they could play
good golf by taking on their detractors
Cor a round and soundly beating them
From that day women have had an un.
disputed place on the links, and for the
past three or four years it has been es
teemed an honor for even the amateur
champion to be asked to play in q
mixed foursome by any one Of dozen
Of our leading women players.-Golf

ChInn,s Woman nnotar.

Dwelling quietly in San Francisco
is the newest" Chinese woman in
the world-a woman whose dlstln-
guished career and splendid American
education makes her advanced" even
among Caucasian women Of brains.
DR.. Yami Kim is graduate Of the
Women's Medical College Of the New
York Intlrmary. She came to Ameri-
ca when only sixteen years OF age
from her birthplace Ming Po, near
Shanghai
The Chinese girl was first regis
tered as a student at private board
ing school in New York, and after a
term there and a vacation trip to
Honolulu she returned and settled
down TO her medical course.
Her greatest work as a physician
was done in Annoy, China where she
was sent by the Dutch Reform Board.
The hospital TO which she was assigned
was in such an unsanitary condition
that DR.. Kim resolved to have a hos
pital of her own. She built up as
paying a practice as she could among
the better classes Of Annoy, and with
the money earned proceeded to turn
her own dwelling house into a hos
pital.
Il ran that hospital on scientific
lines" she declares. II established
baths and hygenic wards with beds
and appliances as nearly modern as
could be managed under the clrcum-
stances but l could not stand the eli

The A,nbitioua Hntnin.

A plain hatpin is uncommon nova
days, although the jeweled ones cost a
pretty penny. Those formed with
thick gold twisted tops, with a dia-
mond or pearl in the centre, are al
ways in good taste, and not likely to
clash with any Of the hat trimmings,
or a crystal ball, covered with trells-
work OF jewels, is a fayorite design.
Many a pretty hatpin may be made
out of those old earrings which most
people are burdened with and regard
only as a superfiuity; small canoes
set in gold, onyx, or comedians only
require a strong pin attached to them
to turn them into useful as well as or
namental hatpins. A set OF silver or
antique buttons is another gift which
is fashionable this year, the more
unique and old the specimen the better.

ADAprAslLrrY OF CHIFFON.
II is a Favorlte Fabric of the Fashion
able Woman.

able Woman.
Without chiffon a woman, setting
foot into the fashionable world Of 1902,
would be in despair.
There is no one fabric so much in ev-
idence, no one ,-aterial so much need
ed in the schemes Of dress no one stuff
half as becoming.
Without chiffon the robes of 1902
would be robbed Of their gauziness,
and the general effect Of the lightness
would be gone.
Chiffon is seen both winter and sum
mer, and has been called the connect
ing link between these two extremes
of season. On Fourth of July woman
wells herself in 1t and makes her stock
of it; in mid-winter her gown is
trimmed with 1t and her bodice is fash
ioned entirely Of it. Her fur coat is
decorated with 1t, and her Innings par
take of its pufiings, while her under
skirts rejoice in its shirrings
Chiffon means more to-day to the
woman OF fashion than it ever did be-
fore, and the prophets say that it will
continue to increase in meaning and
in fashionable growth.
The new uses to which 1t is put are
too many to be mentioned and too va
ried to allow of description. AS veil
ing it now comes in dotted form, the
dots Of different colors on the opposite
sides. If this very French form Of
yelling cannot be purchased ready
made a woman dots it herself, using
fine needle and much patience.
A Queen Louise stock is another ar
ticle of chiffon which she wears. This
is a long veil coming from the back Of
the winter hat. often from the back Of
a fur hat, falling right out from under
a much tailed animal, and this she
twists around her neck many times un-
til it form a stock. The two ends are
now allowed to hang down the front in
stole fashion, and. of course, these
ends are embroidered.
But this is not all the ways of chif-
fon. As bodice stuff it is so much
seen that to attempt to tell of new
ways of treatment opens up a field in
exhaustive. But there is a chiffon bod
ice that may be new. 1t is made upon
a foundation, for chiffon is too sheer
TO go alone, and it is shirred every
inch, to make inch wide puffs. These
are attached TO the under part or lin
ing until a waist is formed-an entire
shirt waist, all little soft chiffon puifs.

"Dry as Statistics A"

It iS fairly obvious that the study of
statistics is not exactly what wsuld be
termed popular pastime, says Win.
throp NJ. Dani%ls in the Atlantic. Ii.
brarians do not discover any exten.
sive demand for statistical literature.
Sir John Lubbock, If remember right
ly, found no place for a single volume
OF figures in his hundred best BOOKS,
and in that flood of articles On Books
That Have Helped Me, by authors
great and authors small, the same Sig
niacant silence seems to be maintained.
There We're some very curious books
that had apparently proved helpful
to certain persons, but there was an
unbroken testimony OF a negative kind
that nobody had ever been helped by
a blue-book 10 say Of anything, "As
dry as statistics" is at once to consign
it to the nethermost Limbo or ATidity.
Such is the verdict upon the finished
statistical product. AS for the meth
dds employed in constructing such
tables-weighted averages, index num-
bers, or curves of errOrs-these, to
the wagfatang man, are hidden and in

avoided at all hazards, or at least

The Care OF Palms.

About all our palms require is that
all dust be kept off the foliage. This
is of the utmost Importance, as palms
positively refuse to do we'll otherwise.
See that they have moisture supplied
to the roots as needed, which in spring
and summer should be about every
day. In fall and winter they require
only moderate watering. They can
be grown from seed, but It is slow
work, and 1t is better to get those
already started. The scale insect is
their worst enemy. A wash of dilute
alcohol will kill 1t, but must be washed
of well afterward. A wash OF weak
lye soap is the best preventive, but,
like the alcohol, must be rinsed off well
at once, Go all over the plant and
leave no spot untouched With the soap.
Palms should have soil composed
OF good garden soil, leaf mold, rotted
COW manure and sand, One-half OF
garden soil, and the other half equal
parts Of the rest. The roots grow
downward, consequently they require
deep pot. Put in pots just large
enough to supply their wants, make
the soil light and firm, arrange foi
good drainage, and place the crown

Little Wichita Girl Thinks She
is an Heiresss
May Own Tract Of Land in New
York Very Valuable.
Is WORTH MILLIONS.
Relatives Mixed Up With the
Anneke Jams Heirs.
Records in the Case Go Back
Over 14O Years.

Wichita. June 1S.-AIiss Pearl Ludlum,
the little blue-eyed girl who writes az
the letters for Manager Dod at the plg
bod packing house, has chance 70
become a muIti-millionaire. Amidon q
Comfy are hunting up the evidence 20
prove the title Of the Ludlum faInlly
to an immense property in the state OF
New York.
This is another story about the IA
nous Anneke Jams estate. It will be re-
membered that there are some OF the
heirs to the Annel1e JAMS estate IN TINS
city but 1t is now claimed that the
supreme court Of the state of New York
has handed down an opinion TO the
effect that the Anneke JAMS heirs have
no right to the great estate in question
but that the heirs Of Elisha Frazer are
the real owners.
Pearl Ludlum's father. J. W. Ludlum,
lives at 1920 North Topeka avenue, and
his grandmother was a daughter OF
Elisha Frazer, and that is how Miss
Pearl is in line for the great fortune.
One hundred and fOrty-three years
ago Elisha Frazer owned $40 acres o.
land which is now in the most valuable
part Of New York CITY. Trinity church
is now on the land formerly owned and
leased by Frazer to Everhart Bogardas
for 90 years.
Some idea Of the value Of the land at
that time may be gained from the fact
that BOgardas gave Frazer 40 barrels of
corn for the 99-year lease.
After a few years BOgardas married
the widow Of Anneke JAMS. After the
death Of Bogardas she and her numer-
Gus children continued to exercise own
ership over the land and collect the rent,
but it is now claimed that the courts
have held that the lease has expired
and the lands revert to the heirs OF
Elisha Frazer.
That all seems plain and people who
are not lawyers viii ask what is the
reason that the heirs of Elisha Frazer
cannot come into possession Of the land
and the S65, 600 deposited in the State
bank of New York, which is said to be
accumulated rent during the time the
Annelze Jams heirs were fighting the case
in the courts of New York
That is just what the firm of Amidon
& Comfy are going to find out. They
may in the near future file a suit in New
York, and if they are successful there
viii be several millions OF that estate
come to Wichita.
