the twentieth century feminiRe worker.
In the opinion of a physician who has
been a close observer of the effect Of
athletics upon women, hand ball is one
of their best physical eXercifes. 1t is
better than tennis, with its high reach
and again 1t is much better than golf. 1t
brings many muscles into moderate eXer-

The first woman admitted by KIM Ed

Mrs. Roosevelt is indefatigable I'm her
love of entertaining and every week sees
from three to four or more large functions
in the White House, to say nothing of the
lesser ones. Every state function is fol-
or something of the kind. AS one who was
hidden to both remarked: 1t is rather
'crowding the mourners,' for after standing
for hours at Il reception one does not feel
like going even to a White House function
on the very next night. Mrs. Roosevelt is
so energetic she does not feel it."
one New Yorker was telling another how
beautiful Mrs. John r. DreXel looked at a
junction the previous evening, though she
was simply dressed and wore not a sign of
decoration save a simple string of pearls.
Don't know anything about the cost OF
women's dresses, Of course, 20 said the other,
but the simple string OF pearls YOU
speak of was selected ana matched by a
famous expert and cost $4,000. Each pearl
swings from a diamond which in turn is
fastened to a band of sparklers. It's a
simple string of pearls with a vengeance"

HOW WOMEN STEP OFF CARS.
Few Understand the Art and Many
are Injured in Consequence.

Few Understand the Art and Many
are Injured in Consequence.
All over the country the traction COM
panies are being mulcted in heavy dam
ages for personal injuries sustained by
passengers who are thrown to the ground
on alighting before the cars have fully
stopped. The verdicts are exemplary In
many instances especially II the plaintiffs
are women. The jurors rarely seem to
concern themselves over the question
whether the inbred passengers Of the
precious sex get OF with their faces or
their back hair turned toward the front
Of the compass which claims the attention
! Of the masculine creature at the wheel.
1t is the proud privilege of the better half
OF humanity to descend from a car OF any
sort in just the way she prefers, with eyes
to the front or retroactive vision and foot
steps, and our transportation companies
must revise their rules in accordance with
/ feminine caprices and fancies.
Otherwise juries will deal unkindly with
the owners of the trolley lines, whether
their power is overhead CT underground.
The matron or maid who is lnterfered 18th
In her choice OF gracefully ~alighting from

IN any other way evidently has a SUN
cient basis for litigation II she suffers in
jury and the car is put in motion before
she has taken her way in unrufled Sc
curity. So the juries seem to think The
harassed and unfortunate male nOnenities
on the front or rear platforms OF the cars
who are distraught already over the UNI
certainty whether lovely woman will make
her exit without harm have even worse
troubles ahead than any which have hith-
erto afflicted them.

the two so stitched and blended together as
to seem but one sort.
An evening dress treated in this way
combined a heavy cream lace with black
chantllly, these shaping in the white silk
skirt a tunic effect. whose deep points
framed medallions Of pink crepe roses.
Folds Of black and pink chiffon edged the
bottom of the skirt below a border and
scattered sprays of the appliqued flowers,
others showing on the blouse, which was
almost entirely OF the black and cream
lace.
The hat worn with this superb dress
seemed simple by comparison. The fiat
crown was Of pale pink roses, and the brim
OF black tulle in loose folds. A fall OF
black chantilly gracefully finished the
back.

Imitation ~JeweIry.
Just as the smartest women dare to
wear imitation furs at these dinners about
town, so, also. they sometimes miugle
paste stones with their real gems. There
are every season a hundred and one triles
in jewelry which it is not worth while to
purchase in precious stones. These GIN

even long-eared rabbits this season-pin

short time. This, however, necessitates
the use Of several hardwood boards, and
asbestos mats, on which to set hot vessels
used in cooking and in cutting and pre-
pairing food. o
The sink should be of soapstone, porce-
laih-lined. Whatever the material, 1t

with all pipes painted white, is the only
plumbing to be considered.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," IS an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk or pure Goa liver OIL
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

waking Francois.

The name of Millet. the painter. has
been made familiar to many besides
art students by his "Angelus." How
the genius Of the artist was reused
and encouraged is told in his biOgra-
ply.
The most original person of the fam
lily and the one who had the most in
fuence upon Millet was his grand
mother. She was an old country wOm-
an of intense religious faith, living in
God. seeing everything in God and
mingling God in every scene of nature
and every act Of life.
One of AIillets earliest recollections
was of his grandmother waking him
when he was quite little child and
saying to him:
up. my little Francois! If you only
knew what a long time the birds have
been singing the glory Of Cod!
When he had to leave home to 90 to
Paris his grandmother said, Il would
rather see you dead than unfaithful to
Gods commands"
At later time. when he had begun
to make his way in Paris, she reminded
him again:
Remember, my Francois, that you
were Christian before you were a
painter. Paint for eternity and think
that the trump which will call to judg-
ment is on the eve Of sounding"
