That Santa Claus has added an "art de
partment"' at hla North Pole headquarters,
bealdea the vast storehouses of chimneys,
Iron pots and toys, is shown by the pic
tures and statuary on display In Omaha
tores for the holiday season.
Kven the calendars reflect the work of
finished artists this year and are far
uperlor .in every way to the art jroods of
fered in years paat. Whole windows of
pictures are shown and the manufacturers
have new processes which make the coplea,
elllnr at reasonable prices, fully as beau
tiful aa the original drawings In either
color, pen and Ink or waah. Among theae
are a vast number of subjects. Including
Indian heads, western acenea, heads and a
large variety of subjecta. The famous W,
U Taylor drawing from Longfellow are
back on the market again in a new soft
brown finish and are selling at reasonable
prices. One of the subjects which has
been a large seller is "A New Love." This
is a child picture, and represents a sleepy
little fellow resting on a pile of aofa cush
ions. Drawn close to the sleeping child is
a wide-awake t looking Teddy bear, where
the doll has nestled with children since the
toy babiea were first created. The doll in
the picture rests alone on the cushions for
the Teddy bear la the new love of children.
Stataary Has Fro at Seat.
Statuary la very popular. Perfect models
of famous masterpieces are shown In many
of the stores. It waa auch a collection of
atatuea which, when assembled In a show
window, nasaed resolution condemning the
board of directors of the Trenton Industrial
Art school for setting the fig leaf fashion.
They object strenuously to spending their
hard earned aavings for fig leaves. Apollo,
Diana, the Greek alave, Discobolus, Vensus,
Mercury and other big leaguers In the ex
clusive model circles, declared that most
of them made only a bare living and the
weather was so nice, they had no use for
the clothing and then the stores are steam
heated, wlndowa and all, and the un-flg-
leaved statutes do not suffer any more
than stuffed animate on muffs.
The Hercules .in one show window de
clares that he will never wear a fig leaf.
and when he heard that the keeper waa
going to put woolen underwear on him, he
aald he would break the contract first as
he ' wore It once In the , factory and
scratched Into the feather weight cla

"My young folks dipped Into 'reports of
experimental stations' and got me very
much Interested, and now they come
bringing reports of the work in our own
state that are equally of Interest," said
Mra. Provldem. "A bulletin Issued by the
state university, Home Economics in Ne
braska.' shows who we are doing to
start the rising generation In the way of
knowing what they grow and eat foods
for, beyond the general reason that has
prevailed hitherto, that they were hungry
and so they grew and ate the things which
tasted best, if they could get them, and
Just as much of them as they could stow
away In that mysterious Internal economy
of their bodies, which In a dim way they
had been taught took charge of It and
made it Into muscle and heat; but how It
was done they had very ' little Idea or
very little care until that same internal
economy began to 'act up,' as the boys ex
pressed It, when they generally went to
the doctor, or mother, and ho or ahe poured
In some nauseous stuff, which the said In
ternal economy, rebelling against any more
supplies evidently considered particularly
revolting, but which they were taught
would siraightep them out. Either it or the
enforced abstinence from food and nature's
constant effort to right wropgs generally
brought the mysterious working force Into
subjection again, and they went on as be
fore with more or fess lapses until It gave
out entirely and there was no more need
of food.
Btady at the t'nlvrHy.
"Now the Industrial college of, our uni
versity starts every girl who may so elect
in a course clt study that mingles with
r regular studies as heretofore thongnt
necessary for the proper education of tho
growing woman certain work that teaches
her what should be done In home life and
how and why. The first year, while they
are studying languages, ancient and mod
ern; rhetoric, history, physical training
and chemistry, Apparently much as I used
to do, they are also learning how to de
sign and draft and sew garments of all
kinds. They don't simply make a dress
or a shirt waist, but they learn the princi
ples of how to fit it to the figure, the art
and . use in so doing, a study of the ma
terial of which U Is made, the quality and
value; 'application of the principles of art,'
the syllabus says, and that means, so they
tell me, an Idea of form, color and fitness
for use. In color they study combinations
and laws by designing and arranging
themselves In special work designed for
that purpose. A semester of this, my ,
daughter says a recent pupil there haa told
her, makes them to some extent proficient
In the art, the science and the practice
of clothing themselves, so that they can
use their knowledge and add to it later In
life with comfort and pleasure, never feel
ing ' helpless, in the face of 'nothing to
wear.'
"This overlaps the second semester on a
study of foods, what are good and the
principles of how to cook them and make
them nutritive. The money value also
comes In here, as In the sewing, so it' Is
fair to suppose, they will know something
of what it means to have bread and butter
forthcoming every day and with the knowl
edge an added degree of consideration for
the parents who are providing It, Sewing'
and goods mingle all that second semester
Just as they do In the home. In the next
they learn further of the scientific combina
tions of foods, their preseryatlon, Invalid
cookery and a study of dietaries, which
means, so I am told, what the farmers call
a 'balanced food ration.' It is well that
they put Invalid cookery before study of
dietaries, for if it is true that nine-tenths
of our dls-eases a new view of the sub
ject which strikes one as very well put.
for there Is certainly lack of ease when we
are sick are the result of wrong eating,
then when they have studied the right
kinds and quantities of food to eat there
should be no Invalids and no Invalid cook
ery as a consequence. But I forget. It Is
one thing to know what people should eat
and another to get them to eat It, so they
probably will have to practice on them
selves and prove their theories by practice
a good while before they can make other
people take them up and understand In
valid cookery.
"All this goes on for the full course of
three or four yeara meanwhile, and during
that time they study, and as far as possi
ble practice, for this includes cookery and
house practice, and they know something
of ventilation, heating, lighting, water sup
ply, domestlo service, study of house plans
and house furnishings. A large field, the
doubter would say, and only theory, but
even a study of the theory of housekeeping
and home making elevates it to a level
with history and mathematics, 'readtn',
'rltin' and 'rtthmetlc,' and If undertaken
in the proper spirit, gives the prospective
homemaker a dtalre to do the right thing
scientifically, artistically and practically:
"And fur all this work the university has
built a fine new building especially for this
department of home economics, which also
furnishes a comfortable home for young
women while attending this school of agri
culture. For the department of household
economics has been -moved to the rtate
farm grounda, one of the finest and siht
lmt' places in the state, and this course
given Is a sub-freshman course In the
school of agriculture. This makes the
study of the preparation of foods go right
along with the study of the growing of
foods, and a course of camp cookery is
Included, designed especially for engineer-'
ing students, and open to men and women.
Additional Effort la atate.
"In addition to the university work, In
connection with the work of farmers' in
stitutes, which Is under the charge of pro
fessors connected with the School of Agri
culture, a Nebraska Boys' Agricultural as
sociation and a Nebraska Girls' Domestic
Science association has been fo.med. This
started from a corn growing and corn cook
ing contest held In Lincoln several years
ago. The various school districts are form
ing branch cluba and the county school
superintendents are taking an interest In
forming them. Corn contests are held in
the various districts and counties, the best
contestants are entered for the atate con
test . and so tha work is growing. To
connect this work with the school bring
In the Idea of instruction in the proper
use and preparation of foods, in connec
tion with the education which haa hitherto
been deemed essential and the faint dawn
of the most important education of all,
how to live physically, as well aa mentally
and morally and spiritually, la dawning.
The most important, not because the body
la tha most important, but because it must
be wen in order that tha soul and mind
may use It as the engine for their work.
"Every . January the organisations of
agriculture hold their annual meeting' In
Lincoln, and then tha Nebraska Home
Economics association also holds its an
nual meeting. Then there Is a general
symposium of those who grow and tboa.
who prepare the foods that make possible
the work of human beings. Likewise
beings not human.
