A Woman Tells the Price of Success

Said a clever woman whose sigma
ture is seen daily in one of New

came to this city l did general house
work in journalism That is why 1 am
a housekeeper-in-chi today. You've
got to scrub floors before you can be-
come superintendent of scrubbers. In
plain English, shaved to gain my

illutrations, and if the models failed
l posed myself. When any one disap-
pointed the editor, l was behind the

the breach. When people talk of my
weekly salary in three figures as if it
were gift of the gods, I long to tell
them of the days when a ten-dollar as
signment meant my earnings for two
weeks"
At a recent gathering of women who
held edICorial positions =, was found
that nearly every one in the room had

The Couture.

II the face is wide make the colt
fure high and broad For ornament,
bunch of flowers or a rose tucked
among the aufiness on the crown. If
the face is long, arrange the hair full
over the ears, or small wreath
around the back hair If the face is
broad and the chin heavy, the hair
should be arranged to soften the con-
tour-no straight lines of any sort.
Breadth should be given to the top of
tn head if possible, by the arrange
ment of the tresses, and large flowers
may be worn If the face is round
and chubby, brush the hair off the
forehead, which apparently lengthens
the face. Never part the hair in the
middle and comb it down on each
side. For ornament, wreath of small
flowers may be arranged about the
back hair, fastened at the top with
a perky upright bow.
So much for the face in general.
Sometimes the features are such as
do need special consideration as well
as the general contour of the face No
"HolSSdIe pIeSCIIpIIouS Can ever De
given. One must always experiment,
for no two faces are alike.
If the forehead is low, the most be-
coming style usually is to part the
hair in the middle and wave it each
side, with a half-low coil at the back
Maxine Elliott affects this style, so
does Lady Curzon. Ornaments may
be arranged in oladem effect over the
brow. If the nose is pronouncedly
long, never wear the hair in mass at
! the back. Arrange the hair we'll up
from the back, with ornaments to give
it a broad effect If the forehead is
high, one of course should let the hair
drop over it sufficiently to take away
any bald effect and give pretty lines.

Great Increase in Railroad Income.


1t is claimed that if the freight rates
which went into effect recently on
both the eastcan and western railroads
are maintained for year, the addi-
tiOnal revenue, even should there be
no increase in the volume of business.
should be between $150,O00,000 and
5000 100000. At a conservative esti-
mate the freight rates have been in
creased an average of 10 per cent. On
many kinds of freight there has been
no change but on all the principal
commodities there has been an in
crease of from to so pc? cent. On
manufactured iron, for example, the
eastern lines have increased the rate
40 per cent. and the western roads
even more, from the Mississippi river
to Colorado. The advance in grain
rates will also make a big difference
in the shipment from the western
wheat fields to the Atlantic seaboard.
1t is claimed by railroad omcials
that the rates on certain articles have
been unreasOnably low. On live stock
from Kansas City to Chicago. for in
stance, a rate of II cents a hundred
pounds has been maintained for
months by the Santa Re. This is
said to have been below the actual
cost of the service performed. This
rate grew out of the cut rate contract
made By the Chicago Great Western

meats from Kansas City-Chicago

tering the effect of her bodice by
changing it's corsage decoration. 1t is
not the money she uses, but her own
cleverness, that makes the result one
that tells. She has just conceived a
dainty novelty for trimming the bodice
of her evening gown, which in itself is
capable of many attractive changes.
1t is a simple little affair to be fast
ened across the front of the corsage,
and is made of braided satin ribbons
and artificial rosebuds and leaves.
The ribbon used is one inch wide, and
there are three strands They are
firmly braided, and the rosebuds are
fastened underneath the braided rib
bon in such way that they form a
pretty floral fringe. If shaded pink
ribbon is used to form the braided

TIE UNIVERSAL APPLE.
Nearly Two Hundred Million Bushels
Last the Year Round.

Last the year Round.
The latest estimate places the total
number of apple trees of bearing age
in the United States at something over
two hundred millions. This is nearly
three trees to every person. These
trees yield more than one hundred and
seVentyfye million bushels. Not ali
these apples are consumed at home,
for in years Of full crop more than
three million bushels go abroad Yet,
the apples kept at home are more than
two bushels for every adult and child
We are a nation of apple-eaters. This
fact may not be to our credit, how
ever, when we remember that good
part Of all these apples are Ben Davis
and other kinds that a refined and cul-
tivated taste would not choose for it's
dessert. Yet probbIy half our people
never raise an apple; and of the half
who do raise them. but a small per
centage grows for market; and Of
those who grow for market, only a
part make a profit from the business.
Yet there is money in apple growing.
