A clever young Chicago woman, Mis
CelJa C. Linton, has organized a "nurses'
outfitting company," which ha already
proved Itself a success. There are eald to
be over 1.000 'professional nurses In .the
city.' Now, as every one Is aware, the
professional nurse may not buy a ready
made suit, because she wears a uniform.
Her cap and apron are of the regulation
nurses' pattern and sha pay an extra price
for them, because aha la a nurse. She ha
no time to make her owri olothes, and the
dressmakers do not make nurses' outfits.
Mis Linton, first a business woman and
later a hospital graduate, conceived the
Idea of helping out her sisterhood by having
a shop where their need might bo met
at reasonable rates. She, being a nurer,
understand that the cap, gown, bib, apron,

of drawn work generally that the supply
never equals the demand and the profit

Passing; of Ira D. Saakey.
The bllndnes of Ira D. Bankey will
cause to thousands of people In this coun
try real sorrow. Like many other Ameri
cans, Sankey made his fame abroad. He
was born In Pennsylvania, and was a choir
singer at Indianapolis when he met Dwight
L. Moody, about 1870. They began to hold
revivals, but attracted little attention until
they went to England, four years later.
They took the Nonconformists by storm.
Never shall I forget hearing these two men
at Spurgeon's tabernacle, at Klephant-and-Castle,
London.
Moody was th really great factor In
the combination, but there was a sym
pathetic quality In Sankey' voice that
made his simple melodies the songs of a
seraph. Across the chasm of many years
I recall the picture:
Five thousand people crowded the vast
auditorium. Tha stillness oould be felt.
The evangelist lifted up his voice and
prayed; every ear was keen and every
face was gladdened by the hope Moody's
words Inspired. He assured each hearer
that his methods were those of the Mas
ter and the confidence with which he aald
so stood guarantee for the fact. There
wer no scoffers; Moody was the whole
meeting while he talked. He dominated
everything and everybody; he was the law
and the gospel. Under his vitalizing touch
the services never lagged. The entertaln
men had progression and always dramatio
climax. Repose and confidence never be
fore given to mortal man on the rostrum
were his. He had none of the tricks and
mannerisms of Spqrgeon. In looks he
was a duplicate of the marquis of Balls
bury, although a trifle shorter. He would
take a living human text from among th
mas of peoplo before him. To him or
her he would address himself.
For half an hour hi congregation would
hover between tear and smiles of Joy.
Not a word wa lost. becu, not :i dull
sent.Mica wa allowed to escape the .peak
er Hp.
A stenographic report of the discourse
would prove the utter absence of prepara
tion. It wm the man behind the word
that possessed the power.
What a wonderful wealth of htnguag
he had! Never can I forget tha story o:
the "widow's mite," as he told it-embellished
with all the color that I'aul Veroneaa
could have given to the scene. The scribes
Pharisees, money-ciiangers. Idlers, venders
and alght-seers were in the word pictur
Moody told that Incident so well that he
ennobled nnd glorified the episode Into on
of the most splendid siorie In th sacred
book.
At the climax of a scene Ilk that Moody
would uddenly lt down, and a if by
magic the clear voice of Bankey would
take up the motif at th. point wher.
Moody let go. An Interval of mor than

had a foice for a parlor or lecture room;
he had the gentle, sublimely wet mental
characteristic of Bankey; but h eouldn't

women. Sankey oould do this.
And the passing of Ira Sankey la ap

Bom. one ha estimated th. American
production of umbrella for 1904 at U.000,000.
If he ha erred In hi prediction th num.
ber Is too smell. Few purchaser of this
universsl necessity apprclt th slse
of the umbrella Industry. Th publlo can
never be said to be adequately supplied
with umbrellas. No artlele of either Amer
ican or foreign manufacture Is so apt to be
loBt, strayed or stolen st Just the time one
wants It most.
The season of stormy days is here, when
It Is the custom of Individuals throughout
the civilised world to take an Inventory of
their respective stocks of umbrellas. With
each succeeding rain thousands of umbrel
las leave the city salesroom nd the rural
business center alike. With an ey ever
upon this demand, the manufacturer and
hi employe hav been at work lo! the
many months. Men have been cutting the
raw material and assembling the frames.
Women have been hemming the covers,
uniting the cover and frames and putting
on the finishing touches. The entire work
is done with great rapidity.
"t'mbra" Is the Latin word for "shade."
It was for shade that the earliest umbrel
las weie used. According to our encyclo
pedias umbrellas figured In the sculpture
work of Egypt, Nlnevah and Pereepolls. In
Greece and Rom the umbrella came Into
use quite extensively, but not until about
300 or 400 years ago was It Introduced Into
England and then only as a shade from
the sun or as a mark of royalty. And even
when umbrellas became quite common
among women men did not carry them.
Today In Enpland. like In the United
States, the making of umbrellas Is an enor
mous Industry and England is also an ex
porter of Its wares In this line, while In
earlier times Its own supply was made by
hand In India or Spain. The factory-made
umbrella is said to date back a little more
than 200 years, so It can readily be appre
ciated that this article, with which we are
now so famlllsr and which can be bought
for such a small sum, Is renlly a modern
Invention as far as He practical and ex
tensive use Is concerned.
A hat factory does not manufacture
either the felt or the straw from which
hats are made. This Is true of many lines
of Industry with reference to the raw ma
terials, not least of which Is the making of
umbrellas. The cloth from which umbrel
las are made comes to the umbrella fac
tory proper in huge rolls. The steel ribs

manders at the old frontier military post
of Fort Gibson, I. T., when this wholo vast
region, now under the influence of civiliza
tion, was a wilderness, occupied only by
wild beasts and roving bands of wild In
dians. Captain Mix had plenty of work to do In
affording protection to the scattered whites
and In resisting the wild tribes of the
plains, with whom he was In almost con
stant turmoil. The captain had come from
the east, and was accompanied by his wife.
She was a fine horseback rider and en
Joyed outdoor life, often riding out with
her husband on the prairies around Fort

times on expeditions against the Indians,

Leaves from Fashion's Notebook.
Some exquisite girdles are mostly of
Japanese workmanship, and are called by a
Japanese name Tatmi-fushi. These are In
all widths, some fully nine Inches, others
not over two. The wide ones are meant to
crush into small space.
Even more becoming than fur are the big,
fluffy collars of marabout, which trim
many evening coats. The collar is really a
stole, long or short, but It takes the place
of a fur collar on the coat. All shades and
tones of color are to be had in marabout.
Ribbons are being used for hat decora
tions more than has been the case for a
number of years. What the trade calls
lirna l silk, that Is, piece llk, Is often sub
stituted for ribbon, the shlrrlngs and folds
called lor making the wide Bilk rather more
convenient at times than ribbon.
Every one must have noticed the preva
lence of the so-called Mario Antoinette
bodice, he exaggeratedly high, shirred
girdle, with the long-pointed front. A
boned and fitted lining Is required for these
bodices, which might nlmost bo said to be
waists In themselves, since they need only
sleeves and a yoke to become so in lact.
Coats are much more elaborate, with
shlrrlnes. srauKlnKS and much decoration.
Irish lace and guipure coats, to be made
with satin and fur linings, are beautiful.
Some kind of a long evening coat Is really
a necessity in almost every woman s ward
robe. Claret red. olive green, navy blue,
gun metal and all the tan shades are good.
A flat, round hat, a sort of a mushroom
shape, set on a high bandeau. Is composed
of white tulle quillings. There was a bor
der two and a half inches deep of lavender
tulle quilled like the white. In front the
hat was bent in a slight curve, and in tho
curve was pet n small cluster of gold and
silver flower", with a little follnge. The
bandeau as higher In the back than In the
front, tipping the hat over the face, and
the back was trimmed with a hnndsome
white ostrich plume, sewed flat to the ban
deau end twisted ncross. the end of the
plume falling low on the hair.
The building of a modern evening gown la
often a most intricate and Involved affair.
Tulle or thin spangled nets mut havo first
a taffeta foundation and not one, hut two,
three or more shroudings of chiffon, to
give a satisfactory lining. The taffeta
lining Is usually stiffened in the hem with
a light substitute for whalebone to give
the proper flare. This comes near to the
old crinoline idea. The crinoline, by tha
way. might be called the bogie mini of
fashion. Every once In a while a whisper
that it is to be revived can pes an inter
ested shudder through the ranks of fanlilun
seekers.
Chat About Women.
This twentieth century will have the
largest possible number of leap years. Thus
do woman's onnortunlties broaden as the
world grows older.
Influenced by the example set by Mrs.
Anthony J. Drexel during her recent visit
at Philadelphia, the noddy women of that
Jilace have developed u fad for rifle shoot
ng. Mrs. Drexel Imported tho Idea from
England, where It bears the stamp of royal
approval. Lord Tempest, a crack shot,
coached Mrs. Drexel until she has become
quite expert at almost any range from W)
to 1,000 yards.
Miss Ruby Cooke, daughter of Indy
Cooke of Easthorpe, England, is believed
to own one of the finest collection of dogs
In the world, Including Mighty Atom,
which weighs Just two and a liu.ll' pounds.
Another of her fads is photographing, at
which she and her brotners are experts.
Also she goes in for tine embroidery, nlays
the guitar, mandolin and banjo (in addition
to the piano, of course), and is a famous
candy maker.
The example of Mrs. Hobart-Chatfleld-Dltton-Taylor
In going Into the bookbinding
business cunnot be too highly commended.
There Is too much of a disposition on the
part of our men and women of wealth and
position, when time hangs too heavily on
their hands, to write books. Anything
that will prevent them from doing thN
should receive encouragement.. Mrs.
H.-C.-D.-T. already has enough orders to
keep her busy all winter.
It is declared that at the recent peace
congress In Boston the most thoughtful ami
Impressive addresses were those dwllvered
by women delegates, foreign and American.
Among the former was Baroness Von Sutt
ner, leader of the ieace movement In Aus
tria, who, although ahe speaks with a
'strong foreign accent, captivated her he ir
ers by her earnestness and orlglnullty.
Most rei.iarkable of all was the little Chi
nese woman, Dl Yamel Kin, who anneured
before the congress in her national cos
tume and nleurted for the cause of peace
in a sweet, clear voice, aiid with hr
thought clothed In most exquisite Kngllsh.
Another truly eloquent "d persuasive
speaker wa Mrs. W. P. Hvies. wire of a
member of the British parliament.
