Football Victims.

n VOW many have been killed and
injured this year in football?
= What important schools have
forbidden it? What is the new game
some schools are playing in it's steade
Can you give me some pointers why
football should be abolished? Answer
.soon.-A School Girl. s..
According to statistics there were
eighteen, deaths this year from football
and 126 were injured. No important
schools have forbidden it. Lombard
college and some other colleges of pre-
paratory grade have taken active steps
but the conference Of nineteen colleges
and universities called by the faculty Of
New Y ork university resulted in moth
ing definite. Seeker football is the sub
stitute for football. The usual obiec-
lions to football are founded on the
general feeling that the game is rough
and dangerous but O'Laughlin declares
that there is no good reason why foot
ball should be abolished. Z

Moreover, new fields of activity for
women in the government service are
just opening. Uncle Sam is sending out
women teachers to look after the needs
Of the little folks in Porto Rico, the
Philippines and our other new posses
sions, and ever since the Spanish Ameri-
can war the war department has main
tanned as permanent organization the
corps of army nurses. There are on an
average fully 200 women in this serv-
ice and they are caring for sick SOL
diers in the Philippines and at various
camps and hospitals turnout the United
States. 1t is some Of the women who
received their practical training in army
nurse work who are now with the Jap
anese army in the far east.
Altho additions are constantly being
made to the number Of government po-
sitions open to women, the increase can
in no wise cope with the growing ava
lanche of applications for such positions
from women, young and old, in all parts
Of the country. Nor is there anything
strange in this stampede Of self-sup-
porting women to get under the protect
ing wing of the American eagle, for,
broadly speaking, service in the execu-
tive departments Of the government at
Washington constitutes the most admir-
able occupation open to women today.
To begin with, the work, with few ex-
ceptions, is easy. Monotonous it may
appear in the eyes of the restless per-
son, but it never approaches the drudg-
cry which must be faced by not few
of the million women who are employed
in the manufacturing establishments Of
the country.

Winter Which Easily House

n UST because winter is here, it
@ is not necessary to give up the
eompanionship Of growing things
and lose the delight Of seeing them
gradually develop into bloom. There
are other ways Of growing flowers than
in the ground.
1t is just at this time that these crops
should be planted. If one manages
properly one can have succession of
flowers until the time for summer plant
ing comes around again.
The hyacinths will repay the slight
trouble required better than any other
flower. They are beautiful when they
come and they last long. Fresias are
pretty and fragrant, and the Chinese
lilies planted now will bloom beauti-
fully Christmas. There are doubling
persons who say that one must be a
Chinese laundryman to have success
with these bulbs, they are in reality
very easy to grow.
The Chinese use these flowers as a

symbol of the New Year to bring good
luck, and call them "Chin Sin FAR
or water fairy flower. Another poetic
name by which they are known is
/" flower of the gods. =
They are grown in a low glass or
china bowl filed with water and peb-
bles to hold the bulbs in place. A
long, irregular bowl holding twenty
bulbs made beautiful water garden
when the flowers were in bloom.
The water should cover the bulbs to
within an inch Of the apex. It need
not be changed every day, as a bit of
charcoal dropped into it will keep it
fresh; but it should be renewed once
a week.
Only tepid water should be poured
over the bulbs and the bowl ought to
be set in sunny place. There is no
better site for this convenient garden
than sunny window sill, unless it is
necessary to open the window too often.
Unlike the hyacinths, these bulbs do

the whole atmosphere is artificial, and
the standard Of beauty in women is not
only artificial also, but is farther than
most people imagine from that held by
the Anglo-Saxon. His idea of beauty
is one in which is intermixed the look
of mind and brains, pride, or gentle
ness, and always something of sincerity
If these be in proportion the gradual
fading of some part of color or line it
is not quickly taken into account.
The American par excellence-the
one who has the reputation Of being
the best dressed woman in the world
has won her laurels by her knack of
using always more or less simple effects
in the midst of her elaboration. In her
hair particularly she is always natural,
istic, and the one who, environed with
her, essays an artificial color scheme4is
at once stamped as not Of her kind. -.
That which if done with exceptional
art may be an attraction in surround
ings and background which are har.
monious conveys repulsion when it gets
out Of it's own Partisan territory.

soil sold at the seed stores mixed with
q little sand is all that is NEEDED.
The low, round POTS holding six CT
eight blubs may be bought at the
florist IS, and when they bloom in Feb.
Iuary they are ever more pleasing than
those bought at the florist 8, for they
keep in bloom longer and have more
fragrance.
Crocuses, which are hardy, grow very
well in the same way and bloom in the
house turnout the month Of March.
Sometimes they begin to bloom even
in February.
While these home-raised flowers may
not all be more beautiful than those
bought at the florists, they have the
peculiar charm that comes from their
having been grown under ones eyes.
Then they are very much cheaper. 1t
is not within the power Of everyone to
have conservatory, but there are very
few who cannot afford the luxury Of a
garden Of hyacinths and Chinese Lilies.

Use ofPerfu1nes

Do you consider the use of perfumes
vulgar9 I am very fond of strong
odors but friend of mine declares that
no lady uses anything but sachet pow
der now. Is she right mabel.
i.
No real lady does use strong per-
fume for she wishes to be inconspicuous
and how can she be inconspicuous if
the strong perfume is continually call
ing attention to her presence7 The per-
fume you use should be suggestive
rather than insistent. Have you never
noticed how disagreeable 1t is at the
theater or in church when several peo-
pie who use strong odors are seated
near yous Sachet powder, frequently
renewed, gives much more delicate
and elusive odor that is never objection-
able, but always pleasing.

b AZ RS. LLOYD GRISCOM,
" Elizabeth Bronson, was

- conspicuous and popular a
figure in New York society prior to
her marriage-she was bridesmaid at
the wedding Of Miss Consuelo Wander
bilt to the Duke Of Marlborough
her arrival from Japan with her
husband, the United States minister in
the capital Of the mikado, has aroused
a good deal Of interest among the
smart set. 5..:~
After a brief rest Mr.. and Mrs.
Griscom will proceed to Washington to
call at the White House and upon the
secretary Of state, and will then return
for longer stay to New York, where
all sorts Of entertainments are being
organized in their honor
Mrs. Griscom s mother, Mrs. Freder-
lex Bronson, is a close and intimate
friend Of Mrs. Vanderbilt, ST., and
there is no doubt that the latter would
have given number Of dinners for the
Griscoms had she not been placed in
mourning by the death of her brother,
Abram Gwynne.
Lloyd Griscom is one Of the most
brilliant members Of the American
diplomatic service, and his promotion
to the rank Of a full-fedged ambassa-
dor may be looked upon as the re-
ward for the marked ability which he
has displayed as representative of
the United States in Toxic since the
outbreak of the war.

are virtually pensioners, being assigned
merely to the lightest tasks.

Women caused revolution In the
way of doing things in the dead-letter
office. Prior to the advent Of the fem
mime workers an employee was consid-
cred to have done his duty if he de-
ciphered the addresses on 125 illegibly
written letters each day and started the
missives on the way to their proper des-
tination, but the women promptly raised
the standard to $50 letters day. More
over, it is notable that both of the ia
nous 'sblind readers who can prac-
tically decipher any word ever written,
are Women-one of these experts being
engaged in solving the puzzles pre-
sented by the unintelligible domestic
envelop, whereas the other devotes her
time to unacceptable writing from
other countries.

women perform more than half the work

print the postage stamps, bonds and cur
rency; have intrusted to them the whole
operation Of perforating, cutting and
cumming the various kinds Of stamps,
and finally attend to counting the newly
made paper money ere it is sent to be
stored away in the treasury. Almost all
the clerical work connected with the

81. To q majority Of women probably the
most interesting phase Of this subject
of women in the government service is
found in the salaries paid. Practically
no5neWcomers step into high-salaried po-
3sitions Immediately upon entering the
employ Of the United States. In some
instances they are required to start at
$50 or $40 month, but more frequently
$50 is the salary at the outset. After
this advancement may be either slow
or rapid, for there is no hard and fixed
rule governing promotions.
A woman Of pluck and determination
who desires to win her way in the gov
eminent service need be in no wise dis
couraged If she be utterly devoid Of
friends at court There are many
such women who have by their own un-
aided efforts advanced to positions pay
ing from $1,000 to S., 400 a year, quite
number who receive from $1,4OO to
$1,000 and some whose salaries range
from 81 300 to $4,000.

q Els OF button rosettes for the dec
grafton Of blouses furnished with
A a small safety pin underneath for
pinning them on, are late fashion fad
which can be adapted cleverly to Christ
mas needlework. The idea is taken from
the popular wheels, which are such a
prominent part of fashionable dress
trimmings, only that the detached but
tons can be made ten times as rich and
decorative. -.
Handsome buttons of paste brilliants,
enamel, gilt, or imitation jewels are Sc
lected and mounted on fat rosettes Of
ribbon, gathered chiffon, or any pretty
ruching Of harmonizing color. For in
stancey peacock buttons are mounted
on peacock blue or green velvet ribbon
or upon gold braid. Rhinestone but
tons are mounted on rosettes Of black
velvet ribbon or black tulle. Gold but
tons (and sometimes these are made by
covering with gold-cloth) are sur
rounded by the thin, soft gold braid
that gathers easily, and one Of the
prettiest combinations of all for white
lace waists is black velvet button
mounted in center Of white null OF
batiste edged with tiny lace. Cut jet
buttons, such as can be found in many
button boxes, are lovely in combination
with Dresden or with pale blue, violet
and pink velvet ribbons. Fichus, belts,
undersleeves that slip on over, are al
attached to the blouse by the rosettes
which are particularly lovely in the sep
arate white garnitures. Belts that pass
twice around are brought up and fast
ened high under the corsage. A pair fol

The bulb must be allowed to touch
the water only at the base. Rain water
is thought by some to be best adapted
for growing bulbs in glass in this way.
After the bulbs are in place, the
glasses should be put into cool, dry
place, where they will not be exposed
to the light, say the top shelf Of a
closet. After two weeks they should
be brought into the sunlight. They
should never be put too near steam
heater.
The hyacinths may be grown in what
are called the vernal pots, altho the lat

they are started. They begin to grow
just as soon as they are put into wa

to develop at the rate Of an inch a day.
After starting one bowl, it is well to
wait a week before getting another

Hyacinth bulbs vary much in price.

beautiful and cost rarely more than 5

rapidly. Much has been said OF late re-
garding Uncle Sam IS seeming prefer

government departments at Washington
and it must be admitted that In some
lines Of work partially has been shown
to members of the sterner sex, but this
Is by no means universal and new re-

the army Of feminine toilers at the cap
ital. Few persons have any conception
Of how wide is the scope Of the service
which Uncle Sam s fair helpers-by no
means all Of them located in Washing
ton-are rendering. The tasks assigned
to them include everything from the
delivery Of mail on lonely rural routes
to the detection Of the tell-tale flaws in
the cleverest counterfeits which are put
forth, and it must be admitted that in
almost every sphere Of governmental
activity they have proved themselves
worthy to rank with men of equal ex-
perience.
