AS TO DOMESTICITY
CLAIM THAT 1T is ON THE DE-
CREASE is DISPUTED
Still 1t Appears That Present Day OPP
portunities for Women Have Made
Them Conservative About Getting
Into the Matrimonial Harness.

A st. Paul club woman wrote a pa
per not long ago upon the subject of
domesticity and contended that it is
decreasing. This statement and sew
eral others in the paper have aroused
the ire of a Minneapolis newspaper
woman, who writes warmly on the sub
ject, taking the st. Paul woman to
task.
1t is not quite clear from what she
says whether or not she takes issue
with the contention itself, or merely
with some of the arguments used by
the writer of the article. One state
ment made by the st. Paul woman
was that domesticity meant a home,
and real home involves matrimony.
She said further that owing to the
increase of luXuries and various other
causes-notably the fact that women
are able to support themselves-mar-
riage is no longer their only hope. 1t
would seem that this is a self-evident
proposition, and that 1t would be diff
ticult to find any one who takes diff
ferent position.
But the Minneapolis newspaper
woman became very much excited
when she read the remarks of the other
woman, and writes as if she regarded
it as a reflection upon all single women
because the st. Paul writer says that
a few bachelor flats, or some women
living operatively, cannot fairly be
called examples of domesticity.
A home is where one lives; no one
denies that, and when two women live
together in an apartment it can by
courtesy be called their home, but sure
ly it is not an ideal home. 1t is not
what has inspired poet and novelist
this fiat with two single women in it.
1t is probably the best they can do,
and as a place of residence it is in
tensely respectable, but is it domes-
ITCHY? The st. Paul woman said no,
and the Minneapolis woman became
quite hufry and averred she was not
willing 10 admit that she had no home.
This is all beside the question; the
word domus means home; domeSticity
has always been used in connection
with married life, and if the meaning
of the word has undergone any change
the dictionaries have not been notified.
Domestic means relating to the fam
lily; another meaning (When the word
domesticate is used) is to bring under
control of man." The general meaning
of the word is relating to family life"
now it can safely be left to the reader
20 judge whether or no some women
living in a fiat should allow their feel
ings to be hurt because woman con-
tends that domesticity is on the de-
crease.

MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE

The first wedding to take place in
the new church of st. John the Evan
gelist was duly solemniZed in that
edifice last evening, when at $50 Dr.
J. Norman Risley, of Philadelphia, was
married to Miss Mary Holbert, of st.
Paul. 1t is safe to say that no pref
tier wedding than this ever occurred
in ST Paul, and seldom has there been
seen a greater number of smartly
dressed and beautiful women than
gathered last evening to do honor to
the lovely bride. Nothing was left
undone to add beauty to the scene and
solemnity to the occasion. The full
choral service was rendered by the
choir boys, and when the bridesmaids
and men stood grouped about the bride,
with the background filled with the
boys in their white SUPPLIES, a more
beautiful picture it would be hard to
imagine Exactly at 80 hush fell
upon the large congregation when Mr.
Fairclough sounded the notes of the
"Loheng1Hn'' bridal chorus, and the
ushers proceeded slowly up the aisle
following the choir boys. The ushers
were: Mr.. J. Paul Cake, of Pittston,
Pa; DR.. Eugene r. Lewis, Of Du-
buque, and w. w. Price, Albert Lin
delke, r. c. Holbert e. r. Holbert, of
st. Paul. Next came the six brides
maids gowned in white Miss Florence
Neff, of Chicago; Miss Hildegaard Ris
ley, of Philadelphia, sister of the
groom, and the Misses Florence Finch,
Lillian De Coster, Helen Holbert and
Lillian Millard, of st. Paul. Miss Wini-
fred Holbert was the maid of honor,
and her gown was an exquisite pale
blue chiffon. Then came the bride,
Miss Mary Estelle Holbert, leaning
upon the arm of her father and look
ing very pale, but beautiful in her
satin wedding gown. AT the chancel
rail stood the groom supported by his
best man, Mr.. John B. Hamill, of Phila-
delphia. Rev. Theodore Sedgwick read
the solemn betrothal service at-the
rail and then the bridal party advanced
to the altar, where they We're married.
The choir boys gave the bridal chorus
from ''Lohengrin" as the bride walked
up the aisle, and during the solemn
parts of the ceremony they sang softly
90 Perfect Love- The decorations at
the church We're of palms and chrysan-
themums, After the ceremony at the
church Mr.. and Mrs. Hezeliah Holbert
gave a large reception at the residence
on Summit avenue, at which DIR. Ris-
ley received with them, but the bride,
being convalescent from a recent seri-
Gus illness, did not appear. Miss Wfni-
fred Holbert made her first bow to So
ciety last night at the wedding recep-
ton of her sister. Late last evening
DIR. and Mrs. Risley left on a wedding
journey, and after Jan. they will be
at home at Media, near Philadelphia,
at the Risley family residence.

and dashes with dull red and black
silk, and from corners rays with heavy
dots of the two colors twisted in one.
The Elton coat has similar straps on
cape borders and lower part, which
opens over panel back, and the cape
is open to the neck. A high girdle Of
black velvet has the ends embroid-
cred in dull red, green and white and
finished with black silk tassels, The
vests fronts and prieste collar are also
of embroidered velvet. Bell-shaped
sleeves with roll back cuffs embroid-

these suits, the red browns and tans
being the best colors, with avery deep
biscuit color@stitched either in red or
white coming as next choice. The lat

quetaire wrist is the latest style in
the cape skin gloves, but not deeper
than a three button length; this is
quite a contrast with the fad Of the
top turning down over hand, as has
been SO much done in the past year
or SO.

Continental Memorial Hall.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Nov 11-At to-
days session of the state conference Of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, Mrs. Charles w. Fairbanks,
president general of the organization
made an address on the continental
memorial hall, which the daughters
propose to erect in Washington. Mrs.
Fairbanks said:
There are numerous monuments to
perpetuate the valor of our ancestors,
but none that to my mind would be
more fitting and appropriate than this
She closed with a plea for assistance
in raising money for the proposed hall.

to a certain extent. Not a summer
passes without rumor that one of the
Deacon girls has made great catch"
A summer ago, it was the Crown
Prince of Germany for Gladys. Last
summer it was the Duke of Norfolk,
old and immensely wealthy. A few
weeks ago, the gossips asserted Miss
Audrey Deacon was trying to make a
choice between James Henry Smith and
Bradley Martin Jr.
These two girls are the ones whom
Knickerbocker mothers froWned upon
seven years ago. How Mrs. Deacon
loathes New York and it's society! She
VOWS she never will return to America.
In her early married life she figured
in divorce case. Sooflsa fterward she
brought her daughters here from San
Francisco Mrs. Deacon Shas been a
girl friend of Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs,
and also brought letters to Mrs. John
w. Mackay. With this influence the
Deacon girls were received into Mrs.
Frederick De Peyster's dancing class.
Then the news spread that Mrs. Dea-
con was divorce. AT that time New
Workers were not accustomed to scan
dals in the best families and gradually
the dancing class dwindled until it was
evident to Mrs. Deacon there were OBJ
jections to her daughters. This was
enough to gall the high spirited wom-
an from the West. She whisked her
daughters off to Paris, where they were
educated Later in London they made
a success.
The Vanderbilts really came to New
York to attend the horse show, and
Mrs. Alfred will be seen frequently in
the Garden. At last years show she
did not wear the same gown twice; she
showed about twenty five costumes. A
similar record is likely this autumn,
for the familiar wine colored Wander
bilt brougham has been stopping in
front of a Madison avenue dressmak-
er's shop for several hours day on
alternate days. Mrs. Vanderbilt will
have under her wing at the show her
sister-in law, Miss Gladys, but the
young heiress will be seen only in the
afternoon. Alfred Vanderbilt, who now
devotes as much time to his clothes
as he does to horses, doubtless will
show some new fancies in mems wear.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM.

Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilts
winter plans have caused surprise. She
has made a radical departure in leas-
ing two apartments in Madison ave-
nue. apartment house. Few women OF
her set ever have taken up this form
of living, but Mrs. Vanderbilt is not
conventional. The apartment in Madl-
son avenue will be always in readiness
for her and Mr.. Vanderbilt when they
come in from Newport. The Wander
bits would not think of giving up Oak
land Farms, their Newport place, even
in winter Last winter, when the snow
was on the ground and that part of
Newport was deserted, Mrs. Vanderbilt
continued living there. Her house at
No. 725 Fifth avenue was open, but
this was an additional care. Even with
a housekeeper 1T is not easy for
young matron to maintain two large
establishments. With apartment houses
offering every advantage there is no
wonder the fashionables at last appre-.
ciate the charm of such places.
One Of the luminaries of the fashion
able set will be in enforced eclipse for
the next few weeks. She is Mrs. Will
liam r. Travers, the clever daughter
of the Harrimans. She was the life and
spirit of several house parties, but
fall in Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay'S mar
Bile hall, in Roslyn, dislocated her hip.
She was brought to her town house, in
West Thirty-f1fth street, the other
day. The Traverses still are living in
their shabby imitation stone house,
fanked by dressmakers' shops. Mrs.
TraVerS facetiouSly calls her house
"The Shanty." Mrs. Mackay came
back to town with her injured guest.
Latest returns from Thirty-fifth street
indicate the patient will be we'll enough
to grace the horse show five nights out
of six, but she was obliged to cancel
engagements in Idle Hour, the country
house of Mrs. William 4. Vanderbilt
and several other Long Island places.
Mrs. Trasers' only country house Is in
far-away Aiken, but she never wants
for invitations. Even if her relatives
do not take compassion upon her coun-
try homeless plight, she is blessed with
as large a circle of close friends as
any woman in society.
In a snow-white villa, surrounded
with towering palms, Mrs. Frank Dea-
con and her two daughters are recu-
perating after the stress of the Lon
don and continental seasons. The villa
Mrs. Deacon has rented is on the south
shore of France not fifty miles from
Monte Carlo. When the Deacons left
Homburg they kept their destination
secret. I'VE don't wish to be dis
turbed," was the mothers explanation.

could not even lace his shoes, and
from this condition he suddenly ap-

DO IT."
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it," and adds: This remedy
Is a genuine good medicine and ono
