Mormon Endowment Garments.


One of the sweetest Mormon women
nave known showed me one of the
endowment garments one time, care
ruily explaining, evidently in order to
ease ner conscience for the act, which
is forbidden, that had probably seen
It on the clothesline The garment
may best be described as a white
union suit and she told me that every
man or woman who has ever been
through the temple is expected to
wear such a one for the rest of his
natural life. Even in removing the
garment, to put on a fresh one, it NAV
not be entirely removed until it has
been replaced by the new, saws Marian
Bonsall in her third article on seThe
Tragedy of the Mormon Woman in
the September Housekeeper. 1t is
worn night and day, summer and
winter. Woven ones, patterned after
weather. These garments are seldom
seen by Gentiles, especially of late,
since the Saints have been forbidden
to send them to a public laundry. The
garment is supposed to be kind of
invulnerable shield, a protection
against disease and violent death. It
is particularly distinguished by GER
tam markings, which to the Mormon
mind have deep significance, never
to be revealed. The markings are in
cisions of V-shape, made over one
breast, the abdomen, and one knee.
remember my establishment at her
answer to my question before 1 had
seen the garment if it was not the am
bition of every woman of her faith to
be married in the temple; and her
merry laugh as she said, Eyes, of all
good Mormon women, but I don't
think so of a young girl with pretty
neck and arms Finally she ex-
planned that the garment reached to
the neck and to the elbow.
A small but interesting incident in
connection with the endowments is
that each woman is given a new name
which she is never to tell to a living
soul except her husband. 1t is by this
name that she is supposed to be ad-
mitted into the glory of the hereafter.
One Mormon woman. however, her
mirth getting the better of her
secrecy, confided to a Gentle friend of
mine, that she and her woman friends
who had gone through the ceremony
at the same time, had compared notes
and found that they each had been
called Sarah.

TRIRUTE FROM ED HOWE.

Those who say honors are shown only
to the rich. should read this: Mother
Florence, an aged woman who has sold
War Crys in Topeka for a number of
years, died Saturday, and yesterday her
body lay in state in the big Auditorium
in Topeka. and believers and non-be-
levers, rich and poor, called to pay
last tribute For Mother Florence had
always done what good she could in an
humble, unobtrusive way. It is some
thing unusual, a city pausing to honor
poor old woman like this peddler of War
Crys. 1t means something; it means
a great deal. 1t means that worth is
appreciated. no matter what garment it

Wonderful Pie NIachine.

Nice, sweet, juicy pies, the kind that
mother used to make, are to be turned
out by Pittsburg man at the rate of
30 every minute. or $4,000 every ten
hours. The man who is to accomplish
this wonderful thing is E. L. Sons. a
baker, who has just invented a ma
chine which will work wonders, and at
the same time do away with pie pans
and the regulation oven. One machine
with such a capacity can be handled by
three men, who will take the places of
100 bakers.
The machine will work on much the
same principle as a waffle iron and it
was from that instrument that Mr..
Sons got his idea. The machine con-
tains a great endless chain like a waf-
f1e iron, except that the cups" are in
the shape of round pie. A man will
stand at one end of the machine and fill
the cups with dough.
They will pass through a furnace
which viii partly bake them before
reaching the man who will supply the
filling Then third will put the lids"
on and the pies will pass through an
other furnace and come out ready for
the table Mr.. Sons has completed one
of the machines and says that it works
perfectly. The variety of pies baked at
one time is without limit.-New York
