Said st. Paul woman the other day:
do write about Mother Hubbard
wrappers; perhaps it is not as much
needed right here in st. Paul as in the
surrounding districts and at the lakes.
Why, l went up country the other day
shooting with my husband, and never
saw so many of those awful wrappers
in my life! The rural districts seem
to take to them tremendously, and
even saw some women come down to
dinner in the hotels with Mother Hub
bard wrappers on, made of silk and or
namented with lace"
So We are going to talk just for few
minutes about the denominations men
toned above. If woman desires to
make herself attractive to men, she will
never be seen in one of those shapeless
garments. Things that hang down
straight are not always ungraceful;
take nuns habit, for instance. 1t is
straight up and down, but it is one of
the most graceful garments worn. But
Mother Hubbard! If a woman wishes
to make fright of herself and COM
pletely disguise herself, let her wear
one. They would spoil the lines of a
Venus. The only thing we have against
Robert Louis Stevenson and his Sa-
moan home, is that in every picture Of
him and his family, Mrs. Stevenson and
her daughter, Mrs. Strong, are in
Mother Hubbards. OF course it is the
national dress for Samoan women, but
that isn't saying much for Samoa is
1t? Indeed, the strange part of 1t is
that Stevenson, with his eye for beauty
of every kind, should have allowed his
wife to so disfigure herself. Fancy try
Ing to get up any sentiment for a
woman in one of those loose garments!
The advice given by a father to his
daughter in this city, and she a we'll
known girl, Is the last word on the
subject and If pages were written
against those awful wrappers, nothing
could be added to his epitome He
said: my daughter, hope you have
not a Mother Hubbard wrapper; but if
you have, never wear it outside of your
own room and then turn the gas outi"
The truth is the wrapper habit, even
In ones own house, is rather mistake
Tor women. Taking to wrappers vio-
lentIy betrayS certain mental-and
moral-condition; our clothes certainly
have a psychological effect upon us and
the wearing of wrappers is not condu-
Give to an elevated tone. Just as a
friend said the other day, that when she
wore red dress it had such an effect
upon her that she felt reckless and
daring. She could do things when
wearing red that she would not think
or doing when otherwise gowned. Let
him-or her-who will laugh at these
things; there is much in them. Clothes
DON'T make the man, but sometimes
they tell the man-and woman Our
clotheS become part of US and we
can Judge others by what we wear.
This is more especially true of women
than men, although many men can tell
something of womans status by her
dress and general air.
But to return to our mutton. Let us
resolve to eschew wrappers entirely
unless in the privacy of our own rooms,
out, above all. never, never be guilty
of Mother Hubbard!

work she will graciously consent to
make an exception in your case, to the
extent Of allowing you to publish the
fact of the Interview and her pleasure
in hearing of your experience with re-
gard to this important work. Her
majesty has every sympathy with this
movement, and wishes it all success,
and l have pleasure in assuring you
that her majesty was very pleased to
make your acquaintance"
In speaking of the royal interview,
therefore, Mrs. Hunt has rathere more
to say of what she said to the empress
than of what the empress said to her.
Regarding her majesty's personality,
she says
1.-The mother of six sons and a
daughter, the empress is a tall, slen-
der, beautiful woman, with q youthful
face under crown of light hair. Adj
vancing to meet us with the most gra-
cious of smiles and with extended
hand. she welcomed us with entire
sympathy and absence of formality.
The interview lasted for over an hour,
and the empress talked with quick In
tell1gence, showing remarkable ia
miliarity with the history of her coun-
try and of the world, and a states
manlike comprehension of the forces
In response to her questions I told
the empress the story of the origin
and progress of the movement which
put temperance education laws upon
the statute books of our national con-
gresS and every one of our forty-five
states, and of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union, with it's represent
atives in every town. village and city
of the land, of our struggle for graded
textbooks on this subject, of what they
teach, of the interest and good work
of our public school teachers, and,
finally, Of the results to individuals, to
industry and to the nation of this in
struction. With these results 1t was
evident that her majesty was not un-
familiar.
Gas the interview was about to close,
I ventured to recall to her majesty the
picture Of Queen Louise and Pesta-
lozzi, and to say:
-" TO another great woman on the
throne of Germany has come the OPP
portunity to extend a fostering hand
to a system of education that will free
the Germany of the future from the
tyranny of alcohol, which ensIaves
both the soul and body of It's victims.
On this opportunity, please allow me to
congratulate your majesty and the
great country over which your hus-
band, his majesty the emperor,
reigns.'
ITO all of my remarks the empress
responded with great sympathy. After
the close of the interview refreshments
were served in another room, and the
royal carriage took us to the station
Mrs. Hunt also had an interview with
the Persian minister of education, DR..
Studt, who has issued an order re-
quiring school authorities to organize
antialcohol instruction in the schools
under their charge, but has not been
able yet to secure satisfactory results.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-11

Mrs. Hunt suggested to him that the
difficulty might lie in the lack of text
books, there being no school text books
on this subject in the German lam
guage. She said that German expe-
rience was not unlike that of the
United States. The teachers did not
know at first what to teach, but when
proper text books were provided the
study began to thrive. These sugges-
tons were cordially received not only
by the minister of education but by
other representatives of the govern
ment and of the court. Said a man Of
affairs in Berlin: mot until Germany
has as good a graded system of public
school instruction in temperance phys
iology as the United States will the
Germans be able to compete CONNER
cially with the clear-headed Ameri-
cans"
All this interest, combined with that
Of the empress, induces Mrs. Hunt to
believe that new day is dawning for
Germany In the matter of temperance
education.
German scientists" she says, "have
made the world their debtor for their
exact experimentation In the charac-
ter and effects of alcoholic beverages,
1t only remains for them now to make
the results of these findings matters Of
universal popular knowledge. 1t took
twenty years from the enactment OF
the first temperance education law in
America before the study could be said
to be an established part of our public
school system. 1t will not take twenty
years in Germany. America has blazed
the way with results that are the envy
of the nations"
AS Mrs. Hunt went to the Anti-AI-
cohol congress at the request of the
president, although, owing to some
technicality, it was impossible for her
to be made an official representative
of the United States government, she
has forwarded reports of her work in
Germany and her interview with the
German empress to Mr. Roosevelt and
the secretary of state.

CUPID HAS HIS HOUR
IN THE GRAVEYARD
Many AvowaIs of Love Are Made Amid
Trinity's Tombstones.

1t is just after the chimes of old
Trinity have proclaimed noon that the
paths among the tombstones in the
church yard begin to blossom with pic
ture hats and ribbons.
1t is the stenographers' hour at Trim
churchyard begin to blossom with pic
ity. The graveyard has become a park,
picnic ground, a trysting place.
From the low slabs girls swing their
feet contentedly, holding a book in one
mana and cracker in the other On
the steps of the shaft commemorative
the heroes of the Revolution thew do
homage to sandwiches and fruit, and in
out-of- the-way places, on the grass
beneath little trees, in far corners, you
may see them engrossed in tales of
love, except now and then when they
take a bite of pie.
But not all are absorbed in mag
mary love and luncheon. AT noon Gu
pid haunts the churchyard. If you had
the right kind Of eyes you might see
him perched on tombstone, waiting.
Frequently when the gravel crunches
girl will glance up expectantly Sud-
denly the color rushes to her cheeks.
She bows and smiles and hastily puts
aside her cake.
They sit down together, these two,
side the fence and the days cares. Gu
pid looks pleased and skips to another
tombstone. 1t is peaceful here beneath
the trees.
The head keeper, who watches all
with fatherly eye, says that there
have been many avowals of love and
matches made in the graveyard during
the lunch hour.
But the minute hand on the big clock
above keeps on it's logged course. How
ever thrilled the girl may be who has
been listening with downcast eyes she
can't quite forget this mentor that so
sternly measures off her time of duty.
An anxious expression fits across
her face and she glances up at that
minute hand.
Good gracious, it's five minutes to
IL" she exclaims. But tomorrow, right
here In the same place. Until then
od-by-dear."
When the chimes announce that it is
o'clock you notice that they have lost
some of the note of joy and triumph
that was theirs when they proclaimed
the noon hour, for the churchyard is
no longer gay with picture hats and
ribbons. 1t is quite somber now and is
given over to the tourists who neglect
venerable and worthy stones to in
spect the very Oldest, and who want to
know the name of this cathedral"

A Visit to the German Empress

In the Hohenzollern museum, in Ber-
lin, is picture which, represents Queen
Louise visiting Pestalozzrs school, after
the signing of the treaty of Tilsit
which cost Prussia half her territory
and saying: I'VE must teach the peo-
pie. What we need is better education
to make q new race of men,
Sfxty-three years passed, and Napo-
leon III. went down before Prussia and
United Germany. "A new race of men"
had come upon the scene. German
philosophers said it was PestaIozzi who
did it. The defeated French said it
was the German schoolmaster. But
some remembered Queen Louise, and
back of the German schoolmaster, back
of PestaloZzi, they found the source Of
German triumphs in the wise, farseeing
woman who perceived her country's
need in it's hour of misfortune, and
used her influence to establish the sys-
tenn of education which has made Ger
many great.
What Napoleon was to the opening
of the nineteenth century, the peril of
the nations, alcohol is to the morning
of the twentieth says Mrs. Mary H.
Hunt, who represented the United
States at the recent anti-alcohol con-
gress in Bremen, "and upon the throne
of Germany there has arisen a second
Louise to deliver her country from it's
dominion. 1 mean her imperial majes-
ty the Empress Victoria"
Mrs. Hunts knowledge of the En-
press Victoria's interest in temperance
is not second hand, but was obtained
from her matesty's own lips. She was
staying in Berlin at the close of the
congress, and had had a good many
conferences with persons in high places
IN reference to the subject of which she
makes a specialty-scientific temper
ance instruction-When she one day
received a telegram from the marble
palace at Potsdam saying that "her
majesty the empress Of Germany gra-
cfously wished to receive" herself and
Fraulein Ottilie Hoffman, president Of
the German Woman's Abstinence as
sociation. The telegram also stated
that royal carriage would be in walt
ing at the railway station in Potsdam
at specified hour the next day to con-
vey the visitors to the palace, the ia
vorite summer residence of the Ger
man royal family.
The interview which followed led
Mrs. Hunt to enroll the German en-
press as one of the most enthusiastic
friends of temperance, and as little is
known of her imperial majesty, as COM
pared with her indefatigable husband,
peculiar interest attaches to the con-
ference. 1t is much to be regretted
therefore that Mrs. Hunt is not at lib
erty to report the many gracious say
ings of the empress. She asked
through the proper channels how much
she was at liberty to say about the in
terview to her countrymen, who would
be much interested to hear about it,
and received the following reply:
Her majesty the empress is, as a
rule. very much against any publica-
ton of her sayings or doings; but as
her majesty is much interested in your

FOR A CANDY PARTY.

A candy party has often tided young
people who thought they had exhaust
ed their resources over, ABDUL evening.
Candymaking is an amusement in
which old and young can join with
equal profit. When the fun of making
the candy is over, there is the candy
to show for the evenings work, that is,
If there is any left to show. .S
In making creamed sugar for wal
nuts, almonds, dates, ETC., take care to
use confectioner's, sugar, not simply
powdered sugar. When mixing sugar
with white of egg, mix one white at a
time. The albumen hardenS quickly,
and gets stiff and too brittle to mold
easily, If large quantity is mixed at
one time.
A pair Of scissors is generally more
convenient for cutting than a table
knife.

using it to butter pans, plates or the
hands.

spoiled by being made with dirty ket-
ties, forks, etc.
must be watched, lest 1t burn or boil
over. The heat from a gas stove is
much greater than from a coal range.
If the candy does boil over 1t not only
wastes the candy, but clogs up the gas
holes, causing much trouble.
The brown sugar mentioned in the
recipes is called coffee crushed 1t
is light brown, moist sugar, and is
sold by all grocers.
For brown BEETLES take two cups of
brown sugar, one-half cup of rich milk
and then boil five minutes, stirring
constantly. When almost done stir in
one cup of chopped walnuts or bIanch-
ed almonds. Do not chop the nuts too
fine. Remove from the fire and stir till
the mixture grains or looks sugary.
Then pour into well buttered pan, to
the depth of half an inch. AS the
candy cools mark it off into squares
with a knife. This is a nice candy.
Few people will believe that 1t is not
made with maple sugar.
A fudge that literally melts in the
mouth requires two squares of choco-
late, two cups of coffee crushed sugar,
one cup of good milk one tablespoon
full of butter. Boil until 1t gets waxy
when dropped into cold water. Add
vanilla to taste, and. last of all, the
butter, and beat till thick and creamy.
To ascertain when the sugar is
boiled enough, take a little out in a
teaspoonful and pour it into cold water
If done. 1t will notSmix with the water,
but will harden into ball.

sugar, one-half pint of. milk, one third

from the fire and stir steadily for five
minutes, but not until the mixture is
so stiff that 1t will not pour into a pan.
Mark off into squares. This candy will
be rich and crumbly.
Mix together the white of one egg,
half as much water, and one dessert
spoonful of vanilla extract. Add con-
