HOUSEHOLD TALK.

With all the thought and money ex-
pended on housefurnishing in these
days, very little attention is given in
the majority Of cases to convenience
The earth is secured for everything
that can please the eye, and the most
ordinary comforts and necessaries of
everyday life are forgotten. Bed
rooms, for instance, with all their lux
urious and often superfiuous furnish
1ngs, are often bowling wildernesses,
SO far as genuine comfort of body and
mind is concerned. Silken hangings
and embroidered linen are small solace
to the unfortunate guest who finds
herself sleepless at night in a strange
room, with never a book to read or a
biscuit to stay her hunger. How many
housekeepers ever think of arranging
the light, so that it will be convenient
Tor reading in bed, or placing a table
or little case of books by the bed
side? Even such prosaic necessaries
as matches are forgotten, and that
such superftuities as workbasket,
court plaster, smelling salts, etc.
should be remembered for the guest
room is perhaps too much to expect.
When the czarina of Russia travels
she takes with her, it is said, verita-
Die Datterle de parfumerie including
FOUNTAINS, Vaporizers and bath sprays
everything belonging to her and about
her Is perfumed, and even the car
riages and trains in which she travels
have to be impregnated with sweet es-
sences. Her children are bathed in
water perfumed with violets specially
gathered and distilled for her, and
their nurseries are vaporized daily with
sweet odors.
A bedroom need not resemble a hos
pital ward, but it should contain moth
ing that cannot be easily and inime-
dlately removed, beaten or washed, as
the case may be. Curtains should not
De Danlshed, but they should be period
ically removed and cleaned. CARPETS
are unnecessary, as rugs are SO much
more easily cleaned. The walls should
not be covered with any woven ma
terial, but paper is perfectly permis-

POUNDS A NEW CULT
BROOKLYN WOMAN CLAIMS SHE
is THE WORLDS SAVIOR.
A Minneapolis Man, She Says, Is the
Reincarnation of ST. Peter, and She
Has About Her the Other Eleven
Apostles.

Nearly every day brings forth some
new ism and ology, or fad and fancy
in the religious or ethical line, and the
latest development of this kind is the
Mamma Mysteria" of Brooklyn, a
woman who has established a new
cult and promises to reap quite har-
vest of notoriety. She is a Jewish girl
who claims to have discovered about
six years ago that she was endowed
with supernatural powers. and now
she is the feminine manifestation of
Christ. Aside from the horrible BIAS
-phemy of this claim, there is not nov
city about it, for it is practically what
has been claimed by others. Strange
to say, this Brooklyn woman has a
great many followers, which shows
how gullible are some persons and how
utterly at sea they are religiously-as
the scripture says, blown about by
every wind of doctrine"
However, the Brooklyn woman goes
her predecessors one better, by having
the twelve Apostles by her side, which
means that a dozen able bodied men
are given over to this new fad and
ready to defend the feminine religion
ist Probably they are'all supported by
the dollars of the gullible. In a re-
cent account of this strange cult a
picture of the man who impersonates
st. Peter is given, with an account of
his career. He claims to have walked
all the way from Minneapolis to be-
come a disciple of Mamma, and this
reminds us again of the luck of our
sister city has in obtaining the center
of the stage He felt the strange power
of Mamma all the way from Brooklyn,
calling him and drawing him to become
a disciple, and when he arrived Mamma
made the discovery that he was the
reincarnation of ST. Peter and she at
once put him at the head of the
Apostles. Strange luck again of the
flour city! A Minneapolis man at the
head of the Apostolic college! With
the mOdesty which is characteristic Of
our twin, "St. Peter" said he desired to
have his portrait published without re-
touching, as he wants the world to
see him as he really is. After looking
at the pictured presentation of the
Minneapolis "St. Peter" and rejecting
upon this request, one comes inevitably
to the conclusion that Peter is a man
of no conceit, or he would have al
lowed the retouching process to pro-
coed But, of course, man who has
the burden of a new religion upon his
shoulders would not have much time
for sartorial effects. Really there
seems to be special Providence caring.

Small maidens of any age between
eight and twelve have many pretty
fashions shown for them, in many
cases very elaborate. The very fussy
models are never very sensible to
choose from, however, unless they are
to be kept for very formal affairs, as
the afternoon play frequently turns
into a romp, and then either the dress
suffers or the child, in her knowledge
that 1t must not be harmed, spends a
wretehed hour in avoiding the fun.
The frock shown in today's sketch is
a happy medium, being suitable to wear
to neighborhood tea parties where the
last dolls charms are discussed, and
quite nice enougfFt for the holiday aft
ernoons when there is the precious
half hours with the "grown-ups" at
their real afternoon tea" after the
drive has been long and chilly. 1t is

selves, but it would be more polite
and unselfish for you to make your
selves generally agreeable to the others
present. As rule the unselfish thing
is the most courteous; you surely want
to have more friends than one in this
world, and to be pleasant to everyone
and to try to add to the general en-
joyment is certainly better in the long
run. Write again.
Answer to "a Thinker" I was very
glad to get your letter and read it
with much interest. l, too, have heard
it said that girls who earn their liv-
ing become eXtravagant in the course
of time, but one would think it would
have the opposite effect as we
all know that business teaches women
the value or money and how hard it is
TO earn 1t. But one cannot help no
tlc1ng how very we'll some business
women dress, and often extravagantIy
as you say. This may have somewhat
to do with preventing men from ask
ing business women to marry them
but hardly think it has, for as a rule
men ask the women they love to mar
ry them, business or no business If
seems strange thing to me that the
fact of your business should prevent
that man from proposing to you; men
are not much given to marrying woln-
en- from other reasons than real af-
lection. Possibly some women are
married for their money; not MANY.
If your masculine friends consider you
lacking in domestic traits, why don't
you have nice little chatting dish sup
pers and invite them, thus proving
that you can cook. Or give them evi
dences of your womanly qualities by
letting them know of your ACCOMPLISH
ments in other domestic lines. l hard
iy think man who loved you would
regard you as too expensive a luxury.
and 1t is my opinion that you have not
met the right man yet. When you do.
and he loves you in the right way. he
will not inquire what you can do, nor
would he allow the fact that you are
in business prevent his marrying you.
You write very well, and I hope TO
hear from you again. Marie.

ABOUTPEOPLE And THINGS

Why is the American girl SO DESTROYS
of marrying into the nobility? From
one high authority comes the assertion
that a fashionable girl yearns for a
title regardless Of theeman with whom
she must share it. But, while ambition
is said to inspire this step, it is said
also the ambition lies with the girl,
not the mother. Aspiring mammas have
borne more than their share of blame.
