.0Tynesn of Femintnity.

Charles r. Barrett, an educator
known throughout the Middle West,
Classics American women into types,
desirable and undesirable. He says:
'"The type of American woman most
In the public eye is artificial, insincere,
extravagant and selfish. She is an I'M
solvable proposition. She will tyran-
nize her husband and love a dog.
"This type demands consideration on
the ground of sex only. She has re-
ceived such attention by reason OF sex
that she is spoiled, overqueened She
does not recognize merit or worth as
qualifications necessary to herself. she
is nervous and proud of it. She lacks
repose and poiSe, having much the dis
position Of a spoiled child Incapable
of gratifying her ambitions alone, she
is dependent on the intellectual or
financial worth of father or husband to
get a place in society. She likes a
palatial home, but lacks appreciation
of how she gets it or who maintains 1t.
She seeks recognition and admiration
solely from the rating of worldly pos
sessions and the influence she COM
mands through the position of father or
husband.
'There is also the fine and dandy
type-the victims of faddism, the imi-
tators of the rich and fashionable, the
|, frivolous, the bctterfiy, the giddy, the
gossipy, the self-deceived type, posses
sing possibly the intellectual colorinS
of a seminary; the undisciplined, the
unambitious, the unstationed type that
needs to be moored to some of the re-
sponsibilities and substantialities Of
life
"These types do not represent the
womanhood and motherhood of our
country. The one that does represent
it is sensible, sincere, economical and
charitable, and has little regard for the
extravaganza and artificiality of her

minute for practicing in the last three
weeks. Would things be any better
when summer came, or would she have
to give up all these plans as well ?
Honestly, what was the use of being
married? They had had ever so much
more fun when they were engaged
and, yes, they had seen more Of each
other then than they were doing now.
Burton spent so many of his evenings
at the office that she seldom had more
than a few hurried words with him
at the breakfast table.
At first, Genevieve had been glad
when he stayed down town, and she
could so to bed early. But as time
went by, she realized that they were
growing farther and farther apart.
What would the end be?
Burton, too, seemed to be unhappy.
His face showed her that, and she was
compelled to admit that her husband
was suffering as well. What would be
the solution of their problem?
"Where've you been keeping yourself
lately; Genevieve," asked her father in
his CHEEKY way, finding her in the old
home one evening upon his return from
the office. We've missed you"
Genevieve had stayed away because
she feared they would discover her un-
happiness. Instead Of giving the real
reason, she said, 1--WE been too busy,
father. You know 1 have all the house
work to do alone"
The swift look of penetration and
sadness that her father gave her star
tied her. After a moments silence, be
said, "Come here, little girl. Sit on
my knee once more, and let's have one
OF our old-time confabs." Then with
his arm about her waist in the old, low
ing way, he began, Been out with
Burton much latelyY
NO, father, he seems to be busy, and
l don't know as 1 mind that, as I'm
generally too tired"
Why weren't you at the Engineers
banquet? You went last year, and
Burton has never missed it before, I've
been told"
Il was too dead tired. 1 was right
in the midst of house-cleaning week,
and"
Didn't you know when the banquet
was going to be?'
Eyes, but l had to take the woman
then or 1 couldn't get. her until the very
last Of May"

with short cloth suits are so elaborate
with braid that they deserve more than
a showing at places where walking
skirts are permissible. Given a modish
long skirt and the coat may literally go
to mill and to meeting most acceptably.
Select geranium red cashmere and
make the skirt with inverted plaits, but
press the plaits from waist to hem to
give a straight effect. Have the plaits
broad, slightly broader at the hem.
Make the waist with rounded yoke,
small -tucks on each shoulder, splice
the material from the yoke to the bot
tom Of the dress waist and turn under
the edges to make elongated V-shaped
openings. Run the allover net under
these Openings-there should be three,
a broad one in the center and one at
each side-then lace them across with
narrow red silk sOutache and tie at the
top with small bows, having tassnl
ends. Lace the sleeves from the Shout
der to the wrist, and have narrow strips
Of lace beneath. Narrow ruffles of tulle
at the top Of the collar and wrists will
be needed

women,s Deterioration.

"Women should not copy men in
dress, manner or ideas, but should be
like the women Of colonial days, who
could sew, cook and care FOR the
home, and who had an abiding faith
in their husbands" declared Rev
William Hayes Leavill, d. D., president
of Westminster College, Fulton, Mo-.
in his address at the recent banquet
Of the Society of Colonial Wars, held
in ST. Louis.
"Few women of to-day" he said
"would leave their homes, their
friends and all the attractions of life
to follow their husbands into a for
eign land as did the women of colon
ial days. Modern influences have had
a deteriorating effect on women; they
have destroyed much of the attractive
ness of women.
1.-THE home is the place fOr women
unless it is absolutely necessary for
them to leave it. l do not believe any
woman should enter the field Of bust
ness and take a mans place unless
conditions require that she should do
so. l am not a believer in Woman's
rights as woman's rights are known
to-day"

Cnrron OH Tor Burns.

Burns and scaldS are more likely to
happen in the kitchen than in other
parts of the house, SO it is well to pro-
vide for the special use of the domes-
tics a bottle of carron oil "a mixture of
equal parts of linseed oil and lime wa
ter-and also a supply of soft linen
rag or lint for their special use in case
of emergencies. A clean, alright tin
should be used for storing the band
ages, so that they may not get soiled.
The carron oil relieves the pain Of
burns and scalds at once. The lint
should be soaked in it and laid on the
wound, to exclude the air, that healing
may begin as soon as possible.

Muffs are gigantic in size and in
cost.
Cloth top boots again are to be in
vogue.
Paris declares that all hats must be
dark.
Squirrel pelts are in great demand
for Innings.
Startling effects in millinery are now
discouraged.
Many skirts are unlined, and cling
as never before.
Directoire hat scarfs come in colors
to match any hat.
New wells are so long as to be al
most cumbersome
Touches of color smarter many cos
tunes of neutral tint.
Net and lace are the most used waist
materials of the season.
Two faced cloths are much in vogue
for long automobile coats.
Louis XVI. designs are most popular
among couture ornaments.
The Russian Cossack cap is one Of
the leading turban shapes.
New turbans are roomy, coming
down on the head to the ears.
Boots with uppers in harmony with
the costume are much affected.
The directoire glove is laced up the
sides instead of being buttoned.
One of the newest fancies is for stiff
linen collars trimmed with color.
Many new dancing frocks are made
of tulle, embroidered with beadwork.
The simulated button hole, elaborate
ly worked, is seen on every variety Of
gown.
Net waists, lined with China silk,
have tucked fronts and backs and long
sleeves.
The most fashionable coats are al
most perfectly straight from shoulder
to hem.
The extremes in hat, muff, and
couture sizes were never more pro
nOunced.
For the first season in many years
all white is overshadowed by colors,
even for dancing frocks.
A favorite hat will be the merry
widow, reduced in size, but with in
creased ornamentatiOn.

The Barrel ON the sidewalk.

A barrel stood on the sidewalk, and
beside it stood a man. The man was
dressed in laborer's clothes and appar-
emily was in a quandary about how to
get the barrel to one Of the upper
floors. He scratched his head and pom
dered, and meanwhile a crowd began
to gather.
"Rig up a derrick and hoist it by
hand" suggested one man with clay
pipe in his mouth.
The man beside the barrel made no
response.
Get rope and pulley and hitch a
horse to the rope. That'll get the thing
up in jig time," suggested another.
The man remained silent.
''Why in the dickens doesn't he put it
on the temporary elevator and take it
up that way?" asked the man with red
whiskers.
"I know a better way than that"
said the man with patches on his
trousers. "Just rig UP a boatswain's
outfit, and the thing can be hauled up
quick as a wink"
Suddenly the man beside the barrel
took a red bandanna handkerchief from
his pocket, wiped his forehead, took
chew of tobacco, put the barrel on
his shoulder and carried it up to the
second floor.
The barrel was empty.-Milwaukee
