Woman Bankers a Success


 Kansas women are coming to the front rapidly as bankers, reports the Western Banker Ten years ago only two women held official positions in the banks of that state. Today there are more than 55o. Of this number four are presidents, fifteen vice presidents, fifty cashiers, 250 assistant cashiers and 250 directors. This doesn't take into account stenographers and bookkeepers. It only includes the list of women who have some say in the actual management of the banks.
 ''If women were at the head of all our financial institutions there would be lit tie need of bank supervision, and there would be no bankers colony in our pen itentiaries. -t. r.Ff
 This declaration was made by Miss Anna Speck of the bank commissioners s office whose work Is to go through the reports of the bank examiners and tell the bankers what ails their institutions. Miss Speck probably knows more about the conditions of Kansas state banks than any other person. It is her business to know. and she doesn't shirk her duty. It will no doubt beNnews to many bank CTS to know that the letters that they rceive from the bank commissioners tell Ing them where their banks are out of joint are prepared by woman. But such Is a fact

Consideration for Youth

Has it ever occurred to you?" asked a woman of my acquaintance, that the ordinary rules of etiquette seem to leave children and very young people outside the pale? Any personal com ment may be made quite openly to them, even to their torture. and they are expected to endure it without the least resentment
 The truth of this fact was brought home to me recently. There is girl visiting my daughter, en route to her home from college, and she is large and above the average height for her age. One day she came to me and said:
 Oh, how I dread going homer 'Why?' I asked
 Because every one I meet on the street will say: How you've grownr or How fat you arel" How tanned you arep' or some other equally an. moving personal remark she replied.
 T laughed at her evident dread and tried to lreassure her, until, suddenly, l remembered that. as a growing girl, I too, had felt in the same way, and had shrunk from the scrutiny and comment of well meaning friends
 I remembered how I had resorted to all sorts of devices in order to escape entering my mothers drawing room alone In the presence of number of callers, who were sure to comment on my height! I knew beforehand just what they would say. and 1t is natural to suppose that other girls and boys feel as l did Their elders have them at such a disadvantage
 It was then that I realized that my young friend could not resent any of the personal remarks or defend herself in any way. Children are expected to listen politely and endure with what outward equanimity they can command. There is but one refuge for them, and that is to plan some way of escape, whenever that Is possible

Keeping Old Letters


 She who inveighs against the keeping of letters is accused of hardheartedness, and perhaps not without reason. There Is certain sentiment about the treasur- ing of missives written by dear ones. and a very beautiful sentiment 1t may often be. The very passage of time is apt to give the cherished words an added mean ing.
 Aside from this feeling, more or less general, there are often special reasons for keeping letters of one kind or an other. Some letters, whether personal oi not, are interesting and occasionally val uable mementoes and serve one purpose or another in summoning up the past History and biography have important sources in the written word that has been preserved.
 But the average person has to meet this question of keeping old letters with other considerations in addition to those prompt

Few Culinary Wrinkles

Add a pinch of soda to the spinach used for soup If you would get full value of the vegetables flavor
 pretty beet dish is this: Hollow out cooked beets fill the shells with peas and serve garnished with pars- ley.
 If the chopped clans or oysters are not added to the batter until just be- fore frying the fritters will be lighter. Try grated Swiss cheese mixed. with mayonnaise for sandwich filling, espe- cially for rye or whole wheat bread.
 
 Set the dish Sof corn pudding into larger dish partly filled with water when cooking: this will prevent the pudding separating.
 To the mayonnaise served with fresh tomato or tomato jelly salad add pea nut butter, working it in until the dressing is perfectly smooth.
 The can of lobster, salmon or shrimps should be opened and drained and the contents allowed to stand uncovered for at least an hour before using.

Electric
With
2 Heating
 Kryptol

There is German process, based upon the use of a granular powder called kryptol which is a mixture of graphite, carborundum and clay, which is intended to facilitate electric heating. It operates through it's resistance to an electric cur rent, whereby it may be heated to any desired temperature without being con sumed. An interesting illustration of its application is cooking stove which con sists of a table having an earthenware top, on which kryptol is laid about an inch thick. An electric current is sent through the powder, which becomes in- candescent. The degree of temperature may be varied both by the strength of the current and by the use of coarser or finer grains of kryptol. The heat Is less intense with the finer grains. Kryptol may also be usd in radiators for heating rooms

A Still Unexplored Land

Professor E. J. Banks in the Christian
 Herald
 In size Arabia Is an immense country, for 1t is as large as all of the United States east of the Missippipi river. or larger than all of the countries of Europe combined, with the exception of Russia and Scandinavia. In that country, al- most without rivers and until recently without railroads. and where the only ship which sails over the great desert Is the camel plodding along at scarcely more than two miles an hour, 1t Is journey of 80 days along the Red sea coast from Suez to Alden, or it Is a jour- ney of 40 days from the Persian gulf, or to follow about the coast line of tho country, as an Arab sometimes does, 1t is a journey of an entire year.
 While the travellers have frequently penetrated the desert south of Palestine, or crossed its northern part from Danlas- GUS to Bagdad. but two or three ex- plorers have succeeded in reaching the city of Sana, which was the home of the Queen of Sheba. As yet no Christian has succeeded in traversng the land from the north to the south, from Da-. mascus to Bagdad or Bagdad to Aden.l Arabia, then, presents a field for ex- ploration more extensive, more promising in valuable results, and perhaps moro dangerous, than any other portion of the world

taking heart by her predecessor, pushed the argument along. Not mere prettiness but something that went deeper. some thing held and fascinated you. There was so much expression. The girls nowadays all look alike. So stereotyped, so much sameness in their little tight skirts and funny bonnets-why they look like a rolled up umbrella. They are good look ing and swagger, but there's a monot- onous sameness about them and there is no piquancy or individuality
 How about Alice Brown for piquancy?' snapped the cutest little girl of the class of 1911, Tor Mary Smith or Ethel Brown, or if you are referring to soulfulness, there's Elsie Jones, right under your nose"
 "I shall never forget Mary Blank said the young matron, who had started the conversation, paying no more attention to the sweet girl grad. than St. Bernard dog would to a daschund. "She paid ab- solutely no attention to her clothes; she wore an old sailor hat I recall, and her frocks when she would come to her resi- tations were just as loose and careless as could be, but oh, so impressionistic and effective! l never thought of her clothes; it was the girl you looked at and ad' mred If the girls of today are not dressed up in the helght or 1asnlon mo- body looks at them a second time'!
 q hope she at least fixed up in the evening"" snapped little Alumna of a years standing.
 "Oh, she did that, all right" said the Young Matron. she was the belle of the town and--the men would stand around her at a party four deep. l always believed that she dressed as she did during the day, so as tc be as daz- zling as she was at night. She was stunning and there's no mistake about that"
 A deep impenetrable gloom had been gradually settling over the room and even the, stupidest in the crowd saw that the conversation was turning into rather unfortunate channels and but for the suggestion of a very clever and diplomatic member of the gathering there might have been a rough house
 still you can't help admiring the grit and loyalty of the class of '99 for standing up for their rights when the class of 1911 has them beat by 12 years as to age and youth and beauty.
 "A toast to the sweet girl graduate of 1911" was the pretty sentiment sug- gested by the clever Alumna and ey-

Beauty in Shapely Feet

pretty foot, like pretty hand. Is a thing of beauty in the eyes of a we'll known artist. Sculptors love to model shapely feet, but the average girl neg lects her feet, and the result is that they are far from beautiful. They are often distorted and covered with ,corns, bunions and disfguring ingrowing nails.
 As matter of fact, the feet should, if possible, be given greate care than the hands, if for no other reason than the fact that harder work is required of them.
 Many women are willing to suffer agonies by forcing their feet into shoes too small for them, forgetful of the fact that few grow indefinitely and that 1t is no disgrace to have large feet provided they be of good shape and well kept. No woman can walk well in shoes unsuited to her size any more than she can write well or easily in gloves that are too small
 Tn the days when the early Greeks and Romans wore sandals, special at- tention was paid to the feet, and prob ably not until this fashion returns to us will any sort of care be given to what might be one of wtman's great est attractions.

Gowns for the Spring We'd
 ding

"The most fashionable wedding gown today Is made in Empire effect, and 1t should carry out both in it's lines and its trimming, simplicity It is no longer neces- sary. however, to have the wedding dress made with a high neck and long sleeves. The short-waisted bodice cut out just trifle at the neck is apt to be becoming and is considered correct in style" says Grace Margaret Gould. "Of course, 1t is needless to say that no bride wears a decollete gown at her wedding. The veil may be arranged entlely according to individual preference and may be of tulle or of lace. Many of the most effective gowns for the bridesmaids for spring weddings will emphasize flower effects. The chiffons, marquisettes and lovely, soft, filnny organdies with floral borders are much used for these gowns, worn with large picture hats"

in lamp oil they are splendid to rub the outside of the dishpan. They keep 1t bright and shining. Torn In shreds, slightly dampened and scattered over the carpet, they keep down dust when sweeping, They clean the sink of its grease and sediment; nothing Is bet ter, for the greasy paper can be at once burned after use
 Many times folded newspapers will serve as a mat to stand hot and black ened pots or kettles on and save soil ing the kitchen table. The kitchen stove is kept bright after the cooking of each meal with old papers, and this saves many polishings.

What Old Newspapers Are
 Good For

The mere fact that moths cannot read Is no reason why they should de- test newspapers, but they do neverthe- less. It isn't exactly the newspaper or its editorial policy that moths dis like. It Is the ink used in printing the type that makes the moths stay away That is why. in the absence of moth-proo bags and cedar chests, some housewives pack their furs and woolens away wrapped in newspapers at the end of the winter season and find that is satisfactory way of pre- serving them against the ravages of moths. There is nothing better than old newspapers for use under the car pets for the same reason.
 Old newspapers have many other uses

The Worlds Way

To strike: this is the law of force; To press upon the yoke But Love puts justice in his course, And mercy in his stroke. The mighty build Fortuna's throne Of Tears and dire distress; And Pride and Vanity are prone To call their rise success. How oft of Fame and Power we say This stroke or that is great, When from them never fell one ray To gild the gloom of fate. And so 'tis only Love that earns Sincere, substantial praise Who to his height empyreal yearns The fallen world to raise

They are such as are made up of two parts of similar form. Look carefully at these and you will perceive that the up per halves of the characters are a very little smaller than the lower halves, so little that. at mere glance, you would declare them to be of equal size.
 Now turn this page upside down and without any careful looking you will see that the difference in size is very much exaggerated-that the real top half of the letter is very much smaller than the other half It will be seen by this that there is a tendency in the eye to enlage the upper part of any object upon which it looks. Thus two circles of unequal size might be drawn and so placed that they
 would appear exactly alike.

 color at regular intervals gives the ef- feet of chenille dots without the raised portions.
 For motoring there are knitted veis of Shetland wool. The meshes are fine and plain and the comfort surprising. These are new and are being worn by many women
 The figured black veils of hand-run lace have tried very hard to be reinstated in the favor of the well dressed. But when you feel Hike a parlor window" as one clever woman expressed 1t, the end Is not difficult to understand.
 Any freakish decoration on a veil is in bad style. When the question in the ob- servers mind Is whether the wearer has a scar on her cheek or an obtrusive erup- tion, then, indeed, the veil had better be cast aside.
