The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

A MOTHER, today. 90
~ Yes, honest and truly, another letter has come in this last mail
= - asking m to write an article saying that it is bad form TO a girl to
chew gum in public. 49,
This n makes-well, l wouldn't really dares SAL how many. ia
be afraid you wouldn't believe lie.
Truly, I can't understand it.
Write a article saying that it is bad form for a girl to chew gum in
public. Why, that seem to me about like being asked to write a n article
saying that 1t is often hot in July, o r that a pint of whiskey might be
bad for the stomach, or that it is not kind for a man to murder his
mother.
Can there really be a girl in this land who does not know that to
chew gum in public is bad form?
Take a girl who hasn't had any home training at all, and If she has
YER seer another girl deform her face by chewing gum-and If she in
dulges herself she probably has, for they usually seem to do it in droves
surely tina. sight is enough to teach her that chewing gum is not a
pleasant habit.
Perhaps my correspondents are right and this is a matter that needs
to be brought before young girls, but 1 cannot help feeling that it's
simply a case of know the right and yet the wrong pursue
One woman writes: 81 once heard a man say, I was more than
taken with Miss E, but 1 caught her several times chewing gum with her
friends, and that was too much for me-"
That's the ordinary masculine attitude toward the habit.
Of course every girl who chews gum knows that.
She must know, too, that n o matter how pretty she Is, the minute
she begins to chew gum she ceasest to be good to look at. r
She must knows that her attempts to solve the perpetual motion
problem make anyone who has to look at her desperately nervous.
She must know that nice girls, refined girls, the girls she admres
lever chew gun. -
She probably knows that the Eabit is unhealthy. That fact has been
stated often enough.
The only explanation Of her conduct, then, is that the enjoyment she
gets out of working her jaws I'VE that bit of rubber, O whatever they
make it Of outweighs all these considerations.
And if that is so, how could a newspaper article possibly turn the
balance the other way? e-a
I'm sorry, you folks who have written to me, but surely you see how
helpless I am.

NINE. MADERO,

NINE. MADERO.
No matter what may be the fortunes
OF war, the wife of General Francisco
/. Madero has before her no path Of
roses. Should failure come to her hus-
band a tragic death Is likely to be his
fate. Should he be successful the jeal-
ousies of his unstable associates are
almost as much to be feared as the
vengeance Of his enemies. Truly this
is no happy lot, and the face of Nine.
Madero is that of a harassed and I'M
happy woman. People who imagine the
Mexican revOlutionists to be persons
Of no particular refinement or educa-
ton are mistaken, in the case Of the
Maderos at least. The grandfather Of
General Madero came from Portugal,
where the family was of some conse-
quence. The grandfather was himself
a revolutionist and was instr" htal
in the dethronement Of jeror
Macmillan. The Madert iy is
one of wealth. They are ra,eusas mil
lionaires, owning vast plantations and
valuable mines. General Madero's sew
en- brothers were, like himself, edu-
Gated In the United States and in Eu.
rope. They have Travelled extensively
and moved In the best society. The
family have been In the habit of visit
ing New York for a part of every year.
Mrs. Francisco Madero has been accus-
toned to shopping on Broadway, on
Bond street and in the Rue de la Paix.
From the most luxurious of surround
ings this devoted woman is ready to
follow her husband to the wild scenes
and the discomforts of the insurrecto
camp. There her fingers are deft in
ministering to the wounded, and wher-
ever she appears-for General Madero
does not allow her to follow his for
tunes from battle to battle-she is hail
ed by officers and men.

4 UNECENTENARY
Anniversary of the Birth of Har-
riet BeeCher Stowe.
INTERESTING CELEBRATIONS

Thousands Unite In Honoring the No
man Who Wrote the Most Widely
Read Novel of Modern Times and
Who Helped Abolish Negro Slavery.
The one hundredth anniversary of
the birth of the famous author Of
Uncle Toms Cabin" Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, will be celebrated on
June IA with elaborate ceremonials by
admirers Of her work. Mrs. Stoves
novel was one of the great influences
In bringing about the adjustment of
slavery, and the colored race regards
her as a benefaCtor.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was the
daughter Of the Rev. Lyman Beecher
Of Litchfeld, Conn. She was a sister
Of Catherine Beecher, the well known
educator and writer, and of Rev. Hen
ry Ward Beecher. She was born at
Litchheld, June IA, 1911. When Har-
riet was only four years Of age her
mother died. She then went to live
with her grandmother at Guildford,
Conn, but on the second marriage Of
her father returned home. She studied
at the academy at Lttchheld and IN
der her gifted fathers direction.
Catherine B~eecher, Harriet's elder
sister, was also a writer. In the semi
nary which Catherine opened at Hart
ford Harriet Beecher began her ca
reer as a teacher. When their father
moved to Cincinnati to take charge of
the theological seminary there both
Catherine and Harriet accompanied
him, the former establishing another
school there. In 1896 Harriet married
Professor Calvin Z. Stowe, n of the
instructors in the theological school.
Soon after anti-slavery agitation began
to stir the country, and Mrs. Stowe be
came interested in the question, her
husband being an active abolltlonist.
Owing to the failure of the theOlog-
ical school Professor Stowe accepted
an appointment at Bowdoin college,
and the family removed to Brunswick,
Me. There Uncle Toms Cabin" vas
written in odd moments which Mrs.
Stowe could spare from her family
and household duties. Her story ap-
peared first In the National Era, q
Washington ~anti-slavery paper. She
received $500 for the serial rights.

THE NEW JERSEY.

Suitable For Boating, Bathing or Any
Other Outdoor Sport.
The outdoor girl is very fond Of the
silk Jersey this season, partly because
1t is SO becoming and comfortable and
partly because it enables her to achieve
many apparent changes in her costume
by making use of different skirts. The
Jersey is used by the girl who goes
canoeing or rowing, by the disciple of
golf or tennis or croquet, or it may be
a part OF the sea bathers' costume.
These outing Jerseys are made with
low necks and elbow sleeves and are
generally In two colors. Some Of them

OF UNCLE TOMS CABIN"
When she began to look for a pub
Usher her husband, Professor stowe,
advised her not to be disappointed
should 1t be unappreciated, for he
pointed out that the subject was q
very unpopular one. When Mrs. Stowe
did, after many disappointments, find
a firm willing to issue the book her
contract called for only a 10 per cent
royalty on the sales. Over 100000
copies of the story have been sold. 1t
has been translated forty times and
in the form Of a play reached a pop
ularity eQualed by no other American
drama. Although Uncle Toms Cabin
proved so great a money maker for
other people, comparatively little Of
the profit came to the author, She
wrote many other books, but zone Of
them achieved the success of "Uncle
Toms Cabin"
The last years Of Mrs. Stoves life
were spent in Hartford, where she
lived in retirement with her daughters
She died at Hartford July /, 1895,
On June IA. the date OF her birth,
memorial exercises will be held at her
