OHKINO women and club women of Brooklyn ure showering con gratulations un Miss Klsle Bltt- ssssa IWI 'J -'i j man, who recently won a position In the bureau of highways oy outranking all competitors In a civil service, examination. "I really can't -e," she said to a reporter, "what I have done that people should b so Interested in me. Of course women don't usually so In for civil engi neering, but I am not a civil engineer yet, and the possibility of my ever building bridges or tunnels or sky scrapers Is so re mote that I have hardly thought about It. I should like to do some practical engineer ing work, of course, and I will have to before I can get my degree In civil en gineering from Cooper t'nion, but every thing Is very hard for a woman and I don't know that I will ever get the oppor tunity. "I never really have had any definite aim In the study of engineering. I was always very fond of mathematics and when I wss graduated from the Brooklyn High school In 1901 I looked around for some way' of continuing these studies. The civil en gineering course at Cooper Union seemed to offer the best opportunity. "No, I wasn't the only woman In the class. For a while I was alone, but after ward a couple of women entered. They had no Idea of making any practical use of their knowledge. They only wanted to teach. I am not quite sure whether, If I do become an engineer, I shall bo a pioneer or not. I have been told that there Is a woman engineer practicing In some western city Chicago, I think but don't know any thing definite about her. There is a woman In the department of taxes In Brooklyn who Is doing much the same work as I am." Miss Plttman took the civil service exam ination for topographical draughtsman last January and was the only woman among 13G candidates. She will receive the degree of bachelor of science from Cooper Union In 1906, after passing a final exam ination In such alluring subjects as dynamics, hydrostatics, electricity and physics. But she cannot et her diploma as civil engineer until she has been en gaged for two years in practical construc tion. While studying at Cooper Union Miss Blttman was earning TW a year as a stenographer In the tenement house de partment and next winter ahe will go on studying and attending classes at night, while she earns money at the rate of $1,200 a year In the daytime. "Of course, that Is hard work and takes all my time," she said. "I have no time for social pleasures while sohool lasts and I am Just as fond of fun as anybody else. In spite of anything the nowspapers may say to the contrary, but I like my work, too, and there will be time enough to en Joy myself after I am graduated." Miss Blttman Is only 22 and her stren uous llfo has not had the effect of malting her look any older. Her mathematical abil ity she Inherits from her father, Henry H. Blttman of the bureau of highways, nod It Is shared by the wholo family. Her brother, Walter Blttmnn, Is In the employ of the American Bridge company, and her two younger sisters are both exhibiting an unusual taste for mathematics. What Two Belles Will Wear. Already two lovely sisters In Philadelphia, one a blonde, the other a brunette, know Just what they will appear In at a certain gieat ball next winter. The blonde will be In a cloth of sliver. The brunette will wear gold tissue. These materials are quite similar. Both re tissues of the most exquisite quality. The blonde, who is exquisitely fair, will have no color at all about ' her silver hardly counting as such. There will be a little shlmmery real lace and quantities of tulle which will be felt by admiring ayes rather than seen. Her only ornaments will be diamonds, which will leavo her golden hair and her pansy eyes without rivals. The dress will be a trailing prin cess, superbly plain, a mere shl-nmor of moonlight and dainty enough for a f.ilry. As lor the other of golden tissue. It will be much daintier than it sounds. There's no copper In the color. It Is more the clear, cool Oulnea gold color, and, Indeed, It is perfectly refined and not at all loud, heavy or showy looking. It, too, will be made In the princess style, with the bodice lightly, almost loosely draped. With the exception of this drapery the entire dress will be plain, flowing superbly from the figure. ' In this Its wearer will be a dark-eyed queen. Her Jewels will be turquoises set In diamonds. Just how superb the tur quoises are with the gold you can't think. And the diamonds give the necessaiy sparkle. Oold tissue Is, Indeed, among our loveliest fabrics and compared with the heavy, clumsy, old-time cloth of gold, It seems like tulle, so daintily are the cobwebby threads woven. A Woman Detective. Pittsburg has a woman detective not a' potter employed In a department store or on a street car line, for there are many of them, but a really and truly detective, who takes her assignments Just the same as the men detectives. She Is Miss Anna M. Coyle and her home. Is at 15 East Mont gomery avenue, Allegheny. She la licensed to do detective work by the city and the state and Is employed by a private detec tive agency in that city. "It may seem an odd railing for a woman," said Miss Coyle recently, "but why should not a woman be a detective as well as anything else? The work Is pleasant and agreeable. Infinitely more so than working In a store or an office, for I have to work, us I am the sole support of my aged mother and younger sisters. , "Today It may be shadowing a thief or doing duty in a strike, while tomorrow It may be securing evidence against a for ger. Sometimes my calling takes me Into the most dangerous places. Of course, I always go heavily armed, but that is the only way In which I differ from any Other woman you might meet on the street. "Almost always, too. I wear divided skirts. Very often it U necessary for me to travel long distances on horseback and skirts would only retard my progress. Sometimes I use disguises, but they con sist mostly of a wig and changes of cos tume. For a time the men detectives tried to drive me out of the business, but I have persevered and now I receive nothing but the kindest treatment from them." Herve Toalrs at Home aad Abroad.

To secure her forty winks she needs only a darkened room and a pillow, with the priv ilege of loosening her neck and belt and hoes. The Chinese also believe In the forty norls of rest and are able to go on with their work for an Indefinite time, stopping every little while for their forty winks. At a nerve cure In the south of France they have a nerve rest. The patient takes a sun bath; that rests the nerves of the bo.1y, they claim. Best Is the only cure fer tired nerves. Particularly do they rest the soles of the feet, which they claim control the nerves. The soles of the feet are very sensitive and should be treated If one Is Inclined to have nerves. They can be treated by rapidly running them through cold water until they begin to feel hot from the reaction, ami also by vigorous massage; but, best of all, by putting on a pair of very soft wool shoes. In a certain nerve cure In Russia they take pitlents who are lil In bed and give them this nerve cure. Covering them with blankets, they open the windows even In the coldest of weather and let the wind sweep across the patient. This wind Is supposed to quiet the nerves; it Is a sort of "Rock-a-abye-bahy-ln-the-tree-top" kind of rest. The wind blows, you feel as though you were swaying and your nerves grad ually grow quiet. The woman who has nerves and there are few women who do not boast a few these days better learn how to steady them. Here are the different ways of get ting rid of a set of nerves: Stop fussing; It will make you grow old and nervous, crochety and disagreeable. Don't worry; worry wears you out quickly. Don't fidget; one hour of fidgety move ments w'lll set your nerves flying. Don't borrow trouble. Don't read the horror stories. Keep as tranquil as you can. . An Electrical Contractor. One little woman In Syracuse wasted no time In a search for the aesthetic when she wanted a life business. Rose B. Richard son Is her name, spinster her state. She Is the only electrical contractor In petti coats In the United States anywhere In the world, It may be. Her list of customers Is large and she employs a goodly force of high-priced workmen. Miss Richardson en Joys her work, though It isn't one of the pretty occupations. "I'm In the business because I like It," she says. "I was the first telephone operator In Syracuse and always had a liking for things relating to electricity. My brother-in-law wished me to go Into the contracting business with him and I consented. He died three years ago and since then I have run it alone. Several contractors have tried to get me to take them as partners, but I prefer to have It all myself. Some per sons hesitate about employing a woman to do their work for them, as they fear she could not make her workmen attend to their duties, but I have no trouble that way. I always personally Inspect all the contracts I have after the men have fin ished. In that way I keep up a high standard." Miss Richardson is still young and Is regarded by her acquaintances as handsome. Freed from Bondage of ITats. "Have I lost my hat?" asked the woman with the uncovered head, quoted by the New York Tribune. "No; It Is perfectly safe at home. I never wear It, not even for. shopping. I have gone all over New York and Brooklyn and Long Island this summer without any hat, and I don't carry a sunshade either. Yes, it did take a little courage a first, but now I have grown to feel as if It were quite the natural and proper thing, and I occasionally find companions In eccentricity. I met two women today who were shopping without hats, and I have a friend who vent bare headed for a whole year. She went to Eu rope on her wedding tour without a hat and she used to go out driving on the coldest days In winter muffled to the ears In furs, but bareheaded. I don't know that I will go aa far as that, but I can't see any earthly reason for wearing a hat in sum mer. It'a a wonderful economy, too. I am promising myself a treat from the money I have saved on hats this season. And the comfort of it. You can have ho Idea of It till you experience It. I can't Imagine when I see other women hanging onto their hats in a trolley car how I ever en dured such martyrdom." Rons a Bis; Library. The library of the Department of Agrlcul turs at Washington holds a unique place among the country's great store houses of literature. Its llbrarlan-ln-chlef. Miss Josephine Ade laide Clark, Is a woman of marked ability and literary culture, who has done much to bring the library to its present state of completeness. Unlike many of the so-called department libraries In the capital, the collection of the Agricultural department Is devoted almost entirely to scientific and technical publica tions. In one corner are a few old and worn books that Indicate the early existence of a miscellaneous assortment of fiction, poetrjr and history, similar to that which makes up the average library of the departments. But these are simply the, recollection of what once was and in no way reflect the wonderful character of that magnificent collection of works that stands today with out a peer In the world, dealing exclusively with agricultural and kindred industrial subjects. . There are on the shelves today 82,275 vol umes, the largest collection of agricultural works ever gathered together In any coun try. There are larger collections of some specific branch of scientific Inquiry, such as the entomological library In Philadelphia, but nowhere such a generous array cover ing the whole field of Industrial and agri cultural literature. The current periodicals alone kept on file aggregate 1,460. Miss Clurk, whose genius as librarian has developed this library to the present limits of Its usefulness, has had a long and thor ough training for her task. She Is a native of Massachusetts, having been born In Wes ton thirty-nine years ago. Graduating from 8mlth college In ISsO, Miss Clark took up the occupation of teaching, accepting a po sition In Prospect Hill school, Greenfield, where she remained from ISfcO to l&b3, when she became associate principal of a private school at Rutland. Vt., from 1SS4 to 18S8. Library work, however, seems to have at tracted her more than teaching, for In the last named year she abandoned teaching and took a course as a student In the New York Library school, from which she grad uated to accept a position aa assistant in the Gray herbarium at Harvard, where she remained during 10-91. Miss Clark's next advancement was to the library of the Agricultural department, where she was assistant librarian until ian, when she was appointed llbrarlan-ln-chlef. leaves from Faahloa'a notebook. ,,he Wttleat things tn the way of gold beu.ls Is a set of five strings forming a log col r.

A beautiful bracelet of platinum Is slm- rile In design. It is a chain bracelet made n long, plain links of the metal, these a half-Inch long and perhaps an eighth wide. Fnch link Is narred across the center with more of the platinum and In each bar Is a good-sized diamond. The all-wool Henrietta and cashmere are close kin and often the two names are used Interchangeably for one and the same stuff. Albatross Is the same pretty and Inexpen sive miterlal It has always been, and the plsln rhallles are Included among the pop ular palin stuffs for the small girl s Use. A chatelaine bag which could never be lost or tempt the light-fingered Is a hand some one with a heavy frame. Into which Is set a large piece of white Jad while another large carved piece of the stone Is at the top of the chain where the bag Is hooked to the belt. Jade Is a lucky stone and nothing Into which It Is set can come to grief. The draped waist Is promised. This waist had some vogue last spring and It Is seen In many of the handsome gowns of mid summer. The drapery Is on directolre lines, while the surplice and the fichu are also prominent. Many of the new sepDrate waists are thus draped. .The fashion is usually becoming.. Babies wear the fine handkerchief linen garments that their elders And so attrac tive. There are long coats of this, half length capes, short sacks and capes with little caps attached. All are embroidered by hand in the finest French handwork and trimmed with real "val" lace. They are lined with thin silk, either white or colored. The veil plays a most Important part In fall millinery. One sees all sorts of hand some veils attached to hats and apparently forming a part of the color scheme. For example, a large pale blue felt covered with blue and white velvet roses with brown centers was enveloped In a voluminous brown lace veil, very flimsy and trans parent. The soft, warm shades of brown, such aa chatalgne of chestnut, and the various tones of Havana or tobacco are next to blue on the school frock list, and the warm, dark reds are always pretty for children s cool weather frocks. There are more shades In this last mentioned color than there were In other years, and many of them are beautifully clear and glowing while dark enough for service, but the off color shades of red that are so popular with grown-ups, the beet root and ma- f;enta tunings, are avoided by those know ng in regard to children's clothing, and only the frank rich reds are selected. Chat Aboot Women. Miss Winnie Baldwin Is president of a bank with $26,000 capital at Wlster, I. T. Miss Maggie J. Walts of Calumet, Mich., is editing the only Finnish publication for women published in this coutnry. She is greatly interested in benefiting the condi tion of the women in the United States. Mrs. Alice Rollins of San Fransisco, Is one of the few successful women gold seekers of the Klondike. She made gold seeking a study before starting, and the claim she chose was a rich one, with the result that she Is npw a millionaire. Miss Lena F. Walton, the most extensive Individual holder of mining property in Alaska, was a milliner in tieattle in l&SHi, when the gold began to come down from Alaska by the ship load. The sight of the nuggets ona the dock gave her the gold fever. . An autograph collector has the following curious letter of Whistler, the painter: "Irish girls have the most beautiful hands, with long, slender fingers and delightful articulations. American girls hands comu next; they are a little narrow and tnin. The hands of English glris are red and coarBe. The German hand Is broad and flat. The Spanish hand is full of big veins. 1 always use Irish models for the hands, and 1 think that Irish eyes are also the most beautiful. Once upon a time, aa far back as the '60's, Susan B. Anthony wore bloomers, but she declared it "mental crucifixion" and gave it up. She Is very fond ot pretty clotnes, but only buys one new dress annually, and never wears flanels or furs. Her silk petticoats are marvels of pretliness and she Is most dainty In all her dress accessories. Mile.

RELIGIOUS NOTES. m Hid Grace. Archbishop Albln Francis Simon, papal delegate to Investigate the Polish churches In America has been vis iting the parishes tn Michigan. Rev. F. X. McKenney, who has Just been appointed president of St. Charles college, at Elllcott county. Maryland, has been a teacher In that institution since 1800. The centenary of the largest Sunday school In the world will soon be celebrated at Stockport. England, where it Is es tablished. The old scholars now number 110.000. Rev. Dr. A. V. Raymond, "president of Union college, has refused an offer of 114,000 a year to become pastor of a church in Buffalo. He receives $3,600 in his pres ent position. The great Baptist congress In London represented 7,lW,ooO church members, and of these over 8,600,000 are in the United States. Every country la Europe, except Turkey, was represented. Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the United States senate, declares that everybody should sleep ten hours a day. Dr. Hale never engages In any brain work after 4 o'clock In the afternoon. "I gave up my pulpit to the stranger." says the rector of St. John's church, Do ver, N. Y., "and he delivered to my people one of the best sermons 1 ever hcjird, and before leaving my house stole my gold watch." An Interesting Incident of the seventh In ternational Epworth league convention was the naming of the snow capped mountain peak nenr Rollins paas, on the 'Moffatf' road, about sixty miles from Denver ' Mount Epworth. It will perpetuate the name of the blrthpUtce of the founder of Methodism. Rev. Father Cavanaugh, the new presi dent of the University of Notre Dame, al though only 86 years ot age, Is one of the most scholarly men in the Roman Catholic church. He was for a number of years at the head of the Holy Cross seminary. It was from Notre Dame that he was or dained In 18SM. The corporation of Yale has always con sisted of Congregational ministers, and the president of the university, until the eleo tlun of Dr. Hartley, has always been a Congregational minister. Now for the first time a layman has been elected as a mem ber of the corporation to succeed Rev. Dr. Theodore T. Munger, who himself strongly advocated that course. St. Thomas" Episcopal church. New York City, that was burned the other day, will be rebuilt. The question Is not one of money, as $2P0.isj0 will be received from the Insurance companies, and members of the church are offering generous subscriptions, one In the sum or $iO.O0O. Te one ques tion that remains Is as to wh. ther a new church shall go up, or the one that still retains its walls and tower be rebuilt. The tower will no doubt be retained even though a new structure should go up about it. It is a beautiful specimen of Gothic architecture and the building department has reported it safe. A temporury struc ture Is to be erected for the use ot the congregation pending rebuilding. Miller, Stewart & Beaton OUR BARGAIN DEPARTMENT IVc have opened a Bargain Department on our third floor.
