roses!" and, pink being her favorlte
color, she decided to carry out the rose
design In her trousseau.
The embroideries and laces for lin
gerie were not hard to find in rose pat
terms, and, being clever with her needle,
she embroidered many dainty garments
with buds and leaves. All the ribbons
were Of course pink. At the linen
stores dainty handkerchiefs were found
in the chosen design. The neglgee
gowns were particularly pretty. One
was a pink silk kimona, the other, for
summer wear, Powered null, white

A HOUSEWIVES
COMMANDMENTS

To manage her household so that the
comfort, health and well-being Of every
member shall be insured is difficult
task for woman, and requires much
tact as well as domestic ability.
To accomplish this, she must make
it her aim:
To spend wisely as well as to save.
To choose and buy food which those
who eat will enjoy and which will be
suited to their needs.
To have this food cooked in such a
way that it will be agreeable, whole
some and digestible, and to have the
meals served punctually and. in order.
To see that every part of the home
is kept clean always, because dirt is
degrading and brutalizing and leads to
disease and crime.
To see that all those for whom she
is responsible are suitably and COM
fortably clad, and to study beauty and
becomingness in her own dress as well
as mere comfort.
To respect the rights Of others and
train her children and servants to do
the same:
To do everything by example, by in
fuence, by encouragement and by SYM
pathy to make those who dwell under
the roof good and virtuous.
Z To try to make all who come within
her reach happy:
To permit no injustice, wrong or un.
kindness to be done even to the mean
est.
To constitute herself the protector of
all who come under her roof, even the
dumb animals.
To seek to extend her influence be-
yond the four walls Of her home; to
benefit those outside, because the best
use woman can make Of her home
is to share its comforts with those who
have none.

GIRL DIVER OF
THE GREET LAKES
MISS Fyuuces Baker Made Fortune the Only Woman
Professional Diyer-She Found the Wrecked Cop.

MISS FRANCES BAKER of Detroit,

MISS FRANCES BAKER of Detroit, |
Nl Mich, is the only woman SO far
known who is professional
diver, and in the three years she has
$4,000. Miss Baker is known all along
the Great Lakes as the Girl Diver and
her feat of discovering and raising the
$50 900 worth of copper from the treas
ure ship w. II. Stevens, which sank
several years ago in eighty feet OF water
in Lake Erie, has made her famous.
Miss Baker inherited her ability as
captain Of divers that ever worked on
the lakes. AS little girl his daughter
listened to her fathers tales OF his eX-
periences under water and she hated to
think that she could never have equal
hairbreadth escapes Just because sne
was girl. But as she grew olde at she
decided that her sex was no obstacle
and there was no reason why there
shouldn't be a girl diver as well as
woman LAWYERS and architects and MIN
listers. She made trips with her father
| to acquire experience and soon was aple
| to command Wrecklng boat as well DIS
any man. -
| One day she was on the wrecking boat
that went to raise a barge that had gone
down in fifty feet of water IN Lake
Huron. The owner was talking to her
and remarked incidentally that he had
left a diamond ring in his cabin that
he priced very highly.
fI'n get it for you,' exclaimed Miss
Baker. And get it she did and the own
er of the ring was so impressed with her
|fearlessness that he gave her the ring.
After this incident Miss Baker be-
gan regular to work as diver. Divers
in the Great Lakes get from $40 to 5000
day, for ninetynine out of 100 divers
cannot stand work in the inland seas.
Miss Baker not only was able to live un-
der the terrific pressure of the fresh
water sea, but she began to make plans
for raising sunken ships and cargoes In
a wav that showed remarkable ability.
It was thru her suggestions that the
W. H. Stevens was found after wreck
ing companies, sea captains and sailors
from every port on the lakes had
hunted for it. The owners offered half
of the valuable cargo to anyone who
would solve the mystery of its resting
place, but the boat had disappeared as
completely as tho the bottom Of the
lake had opened to receive her.
Miss Baker studied the story Of the
wreck carefully, made investigations in
regard to burning ships, calculated or

New York and she received a cordial
welcome when she took possession Of

finest private residences in London. It
is the property Of one Of King Ed
thru the personal interest Of the king.
The owner has been offered fabulous
sums for its possession, but as he has
more money than even popular bach
elor in royal service can spend, he has
always refused to rent it, until the king
asked him to make an exception in Mr..
Reid's favor. The house has frequently
been borrowed by the king for the en-

mirably adapted for entertaining.

tory department at Swarthmore he rec
ommended Miss Sanford for the posi-
ton, and she received the appointment.
It was hard position, but she. held it
satisfactorily and was made professor OF
history the next year. AS far as she
knows, no other woman was holding a
college professorship at that time unless
possibly at >Oberlin.
Professor Sanford remained at
1880, thru visit of DR.. Folwell and
Richard Chute to Swarthmore, she &C
cepted the position of associate teacher
of rhetoric at the University Of Mime
Sofa. After few years she was made
professor Of rhetoric and elocution,
which chair she now fills.
While at Swarthmore she had bought
history lectures. She found a lament
able lack of knowledge of famous paint
ings and pieces Of sculpture at the uni
versity and she began using her stereop-
ticon views. Out Of this grew her lee
lures upon art at the university and her
course in the history Of art. She has
done a great deal Of platform work also.
Professor Sanford has always done
the practical thing, whether it happened
thing for woman to do or not. She
has steadfastly taken the cheerful view:
and at the end Of these fifty useful
years, says: "I have endeavored to
plant in my pupils a desire for knowl-
edge in order that their lives may be
nobler and sweeter.'
Last week Professor Sanford went to
Grand Rapids, Mimi, where she deliv.

convinced that his little friend had

send her east. She made her home
while in New York with the De Cordova
family and her studies were carried on
at the Art league.
Since her return to Montana she has
DEVOTED herself to the drawing of In

the Montana commission, Miss Billings
will have to live for a long time among
the Indians of each reservation, for
one cannot gain the confidence Of the

to sit for her, she will have to Guilt

their work so well that now the location
of the original vaults can only be
guessed at. In rebuilding the chaneel

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

To Bleach Piano Keys.-Will you
kindly tell me, thru The Journal,
how to clean piano keys that have
grown yellow7-Subscriber
# the keys have just begun to turn
yellow, wet a cotton flannel cloth with
cologne water and wash them carefully
very often. Keep the piano open on
bright, sunny days, as the light will
aid in keeping the keys white. IF they
are badly colored, make saturated
solution of oxalic acid and water and
wet pieces of cotton flannel in the acid
and lay them on the keys. Watch them
carefully and when the strains disappear
remove the cloths. If necessary, wet
very effective bleach and should be
used very carefully, as it will take the
color from anything it touches.

FIRST VACATION SCHOOL
Mrs. Livermore Childish Experience
Has Been an Example.

the late Mrs Mary A. Livermore, who
passed away recently at the age OF 81
in Boston, was the originator OF the va
cation school idea. Inventive and Ter
tile in resource, even as girl, she was
largely endowed with initiative and q, a
strong sense of responsibility. The
desire for independence and to be a
help, not a hindrance, to her parents
(who, tho not poor, were not largely
blessed with means), appears to nave
been inherent and almost irrepresslble.
Moreover, Mrs. Livermore displayed in
girlhood a very considerable degree OF
executive ability.
Her independent, forceful spirit led
her when she was only l3 years OF age
into an educational enterprise in the
school, into which she gathered some
forty little children, who were to pay
12h cents week for care and instruc-
tion.
The interesting part Of this expert.
ment was that it was entirely foated
and set afoot without consultation with
her parents, the active young girl ex-
pecting to be able quietly to conduct
her establishment and surprise her home
people with the financial results.
A schoolmate who had been taken
into partnership taught the little flock
boys, included, to sing, sew, knit and
work Accomplishment in
which the head of the school was la
mentally deficient. She reserved fol
herself the mental training of the little
ones. And it was when busily engaged
in teaching the alphabet to class OF
4-year-olds that her mother, whose ma
ternal insight led her to suspect that
something unusual was going on, walked
into the little schoolhouse unannounced
removed her bonnet and prepared tt
spend the morning.
i Much to the delight Of the youthful
school teacher, the parental approva
was not withheld. The mother, in fact
was highly pleased with her child Z
practical energy and warmly praised tn,
enterprise.

While Mr.. Dilley was alive he took
the cats to Atlantic City with him
every summer. For years he bought
shrimps by the case and chestnuts by
the barrel for them, SO that they might
be sure Of having the dainties they
liked.
In addition to her salary, Miss Ruch

and heat, light and medical attendance
are provided. In case she dies before
the cats, the executors are to find q

So great was his love for Blackie and
Pinkie that Mr.. Dilley left 5000 to a
man who once wrote several verses
about them. At the death Of the cats
and their faithful nurse, the fortune
that was left them is to be expended
in a drinking fountain { for the use
