Should a Girl Work Who Does Not
Need To?

NeSu lOs
Productive industry is woman's ma
tural field of expression. She carried
it on at home first, while the world
was full of warfare; but now that man
has also become industrious she has as
much place in the world as he. Work
is woman's own distinctive province,
but the habit of doing it at home alone
is merely a leftover" from those old
days when the home was the only safe
place.
Now we have a peaceful, orderly in
dustrial community. with scientific dis
coveries aud mechanical inventions
which give freedom and power to
women as well as men. The education
of boys and girls is sufti GENTLY equal
to allow the development of human
faculties in women and each step of in
creased ability. Each year sees larg-
er number of girls who are no more
willing to stay at home aad do house
work than their brothers are. Why
should they be Why should an in
telligent, able-bodied young woman be
content not to take part in the great
vital processes of society-in the world
of work?
The opposition to her so doing has
several grounds, and as many faces.
One is this proposition that she should
leave the work-that is. the wages
that strictly limited crop of benefits
to those who need it most.
Let us take a good grip on this
! thing, hold it tightly, and apply it lib
orally to the general field of human
labor, to see if it applies fairly and
reasonably. AS principle il means
this-that iabor-all our great indus
trial processes, business, education,
law, everything we call work
is in truth sort of beneficiary device
to feed people. "We"-those who have
that unaccountable possession of the
precious work-crops- should give the
| work to those who need it-that is, to
those who need the pay for it. When
we say work" in this connection, we
always mean pay. We do not imag-
| inc that the needy person wants the
work, for exercise or for enjoyment
but that he wants food and clothes,
and must work to obtain them.
If this is so we are singularly incon-
sistent in carrying out our idea. 1t
would follow-if this were so-that we
ought to promptly dispossess President
| Charles W. Eliot of Harvard Univers-
| ity of his chair and put in-requiring
| some efficiency-the neediest scholar
we can find.
Why should President Eliot be tax
! ing the bread and butter out of the
mouth of the deserving poor man? All
our rich people should give up business
at once and play the rest of their lives,
as some of them are piously doing
now. OF our working classes we
should keep close watch, and, as soon
as a man has more than others, take
away his job and give it to one who
| "needs" it most.-Charlotte Perkins
| Gilman, in Success.

silver swallows across a plain black
leather purse has a nice gift handy.
Ostrich tips arranged all around and
against the crown is a favored mode of
trimming.
Never have shades of brown been
so attractive as this season, and their
vogue is widening.
The latest fabric for shirt waists is
soisette, a soft, silky goods of the
pongee character.
Machine-stitched cloth is the smart
est trimming for walking suits of cor
duroy or velveteen.
For a simple trimming nothing is
handsomer than deep collar of Irish
point or Venetian lace.
Corduroy suits are smart and end
lessly serviceable. Velveteen boasts
almost the same qualities, though most
persons mistake it for velvet and there
fore consider it too dressy.

Polishing the Nails

The nails should be rubbed every
night with little good nail emollient.
Take bottle Of white vaseline and
melt enough of it to fill a tablespoon.
Put it in a deep bottle. Heat it, and
while it is hot stir in a lump of sper-
maceti as big as half walnut. Add
six drops of good perfume and set
away to cool. Rub this into the nails
every night. Nails that are bad should
be touched with pumice stone. Take a
little very finely powdered pumice and
rub it on the polisher. Go across the
nails once or twice briskIy. Now poll
ish them with pink powder.

Woman The Mystery /
BY HENRY HERMAN
BY HENRY HERMAN

Helene's hotel, having learned her where
abouts from the servants at her mansion.
Helene, when Adams name was given
to her, simply muttered, ooh, what a
bore" and prepared herself to receive
her former protector with the best possi-
bic grace. The Louisianian perceived,
however, before he had been in Helene
presence many minutes, that he was not
overwelcome. Helene's mind seemed to
be away somewhere, and he shrewdly
surmised that Henri was the cause of it.
The next day was a very bright and
sunny one, such as winter in Paris often
brings, and the cheering rays streamed
through the windows, and made the pris-
oner of so many days long to be with
out, in the sunlit gardens which he knew
were at the end of the street, anywhere
but III the room in which he had ueen
chained to his couch for so many months.
But that was impossible yet, although
the doctors promised that in a few days
perhaps a ride in a carriage might be per-
mitted.
Helene, TO alleviate the injured mans
disappointment, ordered the attendants
to move the soft to the window, and had
Henri carried there She was about to
place a chair for herself at little dis
lance, when he beckoned to her and said:
There is room enough, if you will sit
here by me. l want you to sit quite close
to me, because l want to look into your
eyes, and to tell you something | have
longed to say to you these days past"
He took her dainty fingers in his hand
and pressed them gently while his eyes
became troubled, as if for the first time
he were afraid to address her
Il may as well confess my sins to
start with" he said, seeing that Helene
was silent, ''and then, perhaps, / may
hope to be forgiven. / will tell you the
truth. hated you, my dear, when you
first came here. 1t had been my inten-
ton to humble you, to bring you to my
feet, and then to leave your heart to
break. l knew not what was in store
for me. You came day by day, and you
crept into my heart hour by hour, slowly
but as surely as fate itself, until now,
were you to leave me, l should die of
misery. My darling, love you. be-
lieve that you love me. When 1 am
strong enough and well enough, will you
allow me to make you my wife?'
She had turned her face to him as
he was speaking, and had gradually
drawn closer to him. He was feeble still
but he went forward and put his arms
around her neck. She aided by a gentle
movement, and he kissed her.
She had answered him by her silent
submission, while joyful tear stole
down her cheek.

The Women Who Work.

Every woman who must earn her
own living should rid herself of the
false pride that would make her finical
about occupations. She must not ask
for charity. and this she would do if
she demanded consideration on ac-
count of her sex. She must take the
first thing that offers, even if it only
pays her board, and while doing the
ill-rewarded work try TO fit herself for
something better.
These are the conclusions reached
by a woman who declares that she
has probably earned money at more

A Floral Pincushion.

The feature of this pretty pincushion
is its decoration of ribbon roses. Cush-
ions of any shape or size may be used.
Cover the foundation with plain silk,
in the colored desired. Make a double
ruffle-the under part of silk, with a
pinked edge, the upper Of white lace.
For the flowers use No. . double faced
satin ribbon. There are eight loops to
each flower, the center of each loop
being tied in a single knot. This gives
the effect of petals. Artificial flower
centers are used.

neither are you, and perhaps you often

Besides, you should remember that for

which your husband worries you, his
training perhaps is more to be blamed
than he is.

For the National Defense use.

According to reports from Wash:
ington there Is being manifested in
military and naval circles a great
deal of interest in the subject Of ma.
tional defense. 1t is stated that the
general board, composed Of leading
strategists of the naval service as
well as the chief officers Of the War
College, have urged the Secretary Of
the Navy to send another battleship
,to 1.-THE Philippines, there being three
nov there. 1t is further noted as an.
evidence of uneasiness in regard to
the military situation in the Far Pa.
cific that the joint Army and Navy
Fertilization Board has decided to
spend in the Philippines practically
every dollar of the recent appropria.
ton by Congress for insular defenses.
Another matter, that Is being consid.
cred Is that of establishing a naval
station at Guantanamo, Cuba, as the
principal base Of operations for the
fleet that is to dominate the Carib.
bean Sea. Other naval stations in
that sea are also contemplated, the
feeling being that our naval power
in that quarter, must be made as
strong as possible.
While there is no good reason fol
any anxiety regarding the security Of
American possessions and interests
in the Far Pacific, the wisdom OF max
ing adequate provision for their pro
lection is Obvious. The notion tc
some extent held that Japan coyets
The Philippines is undoubtedly
sroundcss, yet, the Islands should be
given adequate defenses AS to the
Caribbean Sea It is manifestly nee
essary that our naval strength there
shall be adequate for any possible
emergency. This was forcibly point
ed out by Admiral Dewey, and since
then the reasons he presented have
not been weakened. Our interests II
that quarter are large and growing
and we cannot afford to neglect them
These considerations mean a larger
navy and an outlay of many million.
Of dollars for defenses.-Omaha Bee.
