Mls Roosevelt Is now revelling In the
Joyful task of overlooking the costly silks,
embroideries, carving and other things
beautiful enough to delight any feminine
heart. In the first plore it was said that,
while the pecuniary valuo of the gifts has
been monstrously exaggerated, they are fine
enough to mal:e any grlrl green w.th envy.
For one thing, unless Mis" Roosevelt Is
very generous, she will not have to buy
material for summer gowns or ball dresses
for many years to come. The dowager em
press of China gave her twelve bolts of em
broidered crete In every shari known to
the dyer's art. Then she has bolt after bolt
of fine embroidered cambric and linen,
beauilful enough for an empress' lingerie,
flhe has dor.ens of web-ltko ltu-e and em
broidered silk stockings and parasols of all
colors with Jeweled handles and lace cov
ers, and there are fans enough to atock a
tor. But things to wear are only one por
tion of these rare gifts. Some of the most
gorgeous are screens, small pieces of furni
ture and draperies for the walls, windows
and doors. These Mins Roosevelt Intend to
use, and some of the furnishings of her
bedroom and boudoir are being removed,
gome of the screens are masterpieces of
oriental art. and no doubt these will be
placed In the state parlors, where they may
be admired this winter. Rome of the dra
peries are equally costly.
Miss Roosevelt received two handsome
dower chests, one from the dowager em
press and the other from the Philippines.
The president's daughter will wear some
glorious strings of Jade beads this winter,
the gift of the mikado, end her stock of
Jewelry will be increased by a penrl ring
from the sultan of Sulti, bracelets and pen
dants from the emperor of China, and many
curious and costly ornaments for her hair.
The empress of Japan sent her the dainty
little tea eet used for her entertainment,
and the gifts from Peking contained many
of the dainty porcelain ornaments which
adorned her rooms.
Women of the Great West.
Marion Foster Washburn, writing in
Harper's Bazar, relates the following Inci
dents of life In the new west:
We mentioned to some friends that we
had aimed to acquire a little wisdom on the
simple life. ly studying these new coun
tries; but tliey went into spasms of im
polite laughter at the suggestion. It seems
that the women hold on to all the frills
they used to know and acquire all the new
ones they can hear of, as a means of prov
ing their social status, and of transforming
their present place of residence Into the
nearest possible semblance of the one they
left behind. When they move into town, off
the ranches, and discard sunbonneta and
Mother Hubbards, they wear chiffon hats
with brims a few Inches wider than eastern
modes. After a few years of town and
club life they become oh, wearisomely like
every one else! One of them, herself a
woman of brains and energy, said that no
one lived the simple life here, because none
had the strength of mind to follow the
recipe.
"And that Is?" we asked.
"Just to be yourself," she answered. And
we thought she was quite right.
We attended one woman's club meeting.
It was In Gage, In the northwestern port of
the territory (Oklahoma), a little, brand
new town, bravely starting out to beautify
Itself by planting trees two feet high. This
club has thirty-one married members and at
present writing three single ones; but by
the time this goes to press probably not one
will be left unmarried. There are too many
bachelors around Gage. A week's residence,
the landlady of the hotel assured us, was
enough to enable any woman to collect at
least one offer of marriage. The club
women study Shakespeare, Whlttler, Long
fellow and other poets, and sprinkle In a
very few papers on practical subjects. Per
haps this Is because all the rest of their
lives Is so very practical that they want &
change. All during the meeting I attended
one sweet-looking. wholesome young
matron nursed her sunburnt baby. I wished
Qrover Cleveland could see her as she sat
under the one lump.
The husband of the president pushed his
head in at the door and her two children
broke from his restraining hands and
paddled up to lean against her knees.
"Now, John!" she remonstrated, aloud. "I
put those babies to bed before I leftl What
did you bring 'cm over here for? And bare
footed and In these old clothes!"
John smiled easily and continued to watch
our proceedings.
"He's in favor of clubs," his wife went

on. "So you needn't mind him, ladies. But
1 do wish he'd take these children home
and put them to bed."
"I wilt, pretty soon," he said.
"Orlnd the coffee for breakfast while
U'li r' about It," called oue member.
"llit the cat out.'' cried another.
"Wh itever you dr. leave the lamp burning
for ni" laughted the president.
KvMenee of Another Sense 'Wanted.
"I think the trouble with me, doctor."
said Mrs. Ppipklns, "Is a generally torpid
conOltlon of the system. There doesn't seem
to le any organic disturbance, If that is
what you call It, but I feel all run down.
Few of the things I eat agree with nie,
and sometimes I have no appetite at all. I
have an aunt on my mother's side that was
affected exactly the same way, and she
never got any permanent relief until she
moved to another climate. Frequently I
am disturbed In my sleep. Any little noise
wakes me up. and I don't get to sleep again
for hours. My husband says It's the ma

rirst to Itefnae to "Obey."
Mrs. Sarah J. Harper Starr of Bellerue
was buried Tuesday in the family mauso
leum at Zellcnople, Fa., and a most won
derful life was ended, relates the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
Mrs. Starr was a personal friend of Mrs.
Lucy Webb Hayes, wife of President Ruth
erford B. Hayes. The two women were
classmates In a Cincinnati college and the
Intimacy was continued to the death ef Mrs.
Hayes. Mrs. Starr's marriage in Cincinnati
on May 22, 149, is of historical Importance
In ecclesiastical circles. Miss Harper was
16 years old and had been studying In col
lege with a view to missionary life In for
eign lands. Dr. Starr, a young physician,
was studying toward the same end and the
couple decided to wed.
Miss Hnrper had Ideas of her own on the
question of the word "obey." In the ritual
of the church and decided that for her It
should be eliminated. She found a friend
In the shape of the Rev. Maxwell Gladdls,
assistant pastor of Morris chapel, Cincin
nati, who rromlsed to omit the word during
the ceremony and she was married, but
friends were Inconsiderate enough to say
the marriage was Invalid and at the next
meeting of the general conference of the
Methodist Kplscopal church held In Cincin
nati, the clergyman who had omitted the
word was "churched."
Finally the question became general and
later when decisive action was taken the
sentence "serve and obey" was ordered
stricken out of the matrimonial ritual of
the discipline of the Methodist church. The
Methodist Protestant church took the same
action later.
Another Fallnrlona lows Idea.
The women of the Chauncey M. Depew
club of Des Moines, la., are Inclined to be
a trifle resentful of the urgent appeals sent
out by the national administration with
regard to the necessity of replenishing the
ea rth.
After an animated discussion of the race
suicide question last Thursday afternoon,
reports the Chicago Inter-Ocean, it was re
solved that the sentiment of the club with
regard to the problem shall hereafter be
briefly but pointedly expressed by this
motto:
: QUALITY RATHPTR THAN QUAN- :
J TITT. :
: FEWER BUT BETTER BABIES. :
t :
In moving the adoption of this motto,
Mrs. George W. Ogilvie, who presided, lik
ened children to blooded stock, and de
clared that If people were as careful in the
rearing of children and development of their
progeny as some of the stock raisers were
of their price animals there would be a
speedy uplifting of the human race.
Which is very true, and this position,
Mrs. Ogilvie should know, is not at all In
consistent with the attitude of President
Roosevelt or conflicting with the known
views of the Inter-Ocean.
In fact. It may be taken for granted
that the Chauncey M. Depew club of Des
Moines, the chief magistrate and this news
paper are all working in harmony toward
one great end, except In the important
particular that the Chauncey M. Depew
club seems to held that the quality can be
Improved by limiting the quantity. To this
we cannot agree, not only because It is
unsound as republican doctrine, but because
It would confine to the few the enjoyment
of those opportunities which In this coun
try should be open to all.
A child must be born before it can have
a chance to be good or bad when It grows
up. Let the children, therefore, be born
first of all, the more, not the fewer, the
better. It is due to the children that they

Modified Hoops.
Despairing of the introduction of the old
hoop skirt of war days, which, though It
was all very well In the quiet cities of those
times, finds Itself, much eut of place In the
crowded street cars and In the Intense
hurry of modern life, the Chicago Dress
makers' club looks will) favor on the modi
fled hoop skirt offered by Mme. Hoiac. The
article- which was shewn is made of
"feather bone" or any light material. The
size not exceeding a thirty-six to forty-two-inch
diameter.
Last year Chicago dressmakers tried their
best to reintroduce tho large hoops, as the
tailors had used the peg-top trouser, the ob
ject being to revive the fashions of the late
'60s and the civil war period. It was the In
tention to have the drawing rooms of today
present an appearance similar to that of
the green room of the White House during
the administrations of Buchanan and Lin
coln. But present-day conditions furnished
obstacles which made the task Impossible.
The modern man could not be persuaded
that a two-step or waits would be enjoyable
If his partner wore hoop skirts. Nor were
the women enthusiastic over the prospect.
A glance at the prints In the papers and
magazines of the time when the hoop skirt
was In vogue failed to convince them that
there was anything artistic In a costume
which made the wearer resemble a highly
ornate church tell, and so the movement
fell Into disfavor.
Far from feeling discouraged, the dress
makers have determined to undertake the
task of creating a medern hoop skirt, one
which will not, they hope, prove imprac
ticable when brought Into daily use In the
modern city with Its pushing crowds. They
even hope that In the final test to which
wearing apparel can be put, the crush at the
bargain counter. It will prove equal to the
strain.
As may be guessed the new variety Is ex
tremely flexible and readily adjusts Itself to
the movements of the wearer, but there is a
certain mechanical regularity of motion im
parted to the swing of the skirt under
which It may be worn that Its presence is
easily noticed.
Its sponsor is sanguine In regard to Its
success and others gave It their approval
and before long it may be seen on the
streets dally.

Twelve Kales for Choosing- si HasbanJ.
Dr. Harriet C. Keatlngs of New York
City in an address on "Uivorce" before the
New York Legislative league, laid stress
on the fact that mental, moral or physical
weakness could not be Judged before mar
riage, and that most mothers looked merely
to good clothes, good manners and some
money tu the man who married their
daughters. The doctor drafted these rules:
1. The first requisite for a woman In
choosing a hunband is an education, not
such as she gets at V as sax and Hmlth, but
an education in morals.
2. The next thing she should Insist upon
is a clean bill of health, A man or woman
contemplating matrimony should be ex
amined by a physician, as for life Insur
ance. If there be any Inherited or Incurable
disease It will then become known. In the
event of an affection that la curable mar
riage should be postponed. If It be proved
beyond doubt that an ailment Is out of
the reach of medical skill, the man or
woman should be brave enough to renounce
marriage and take up some line of work
which may absorb his or her Interests.
For in marriage, as In all else, the uplift
ing of humanity should be the highest
consideration.
3. A woman should demand among the
good qualities of her husband that he be
well bred. The little delicacies of life go
far toward oiling the wheels.
4. She should look for congeniality of
tastes, as well as some quality of Intellect
or its development. A college-bred man
and a primary-school girl would be hope
lessly ill-assorted.
6. She should look for a husband to
whom she would be not only a wife, but a
good comrade. Comradeship Is one of the
strongest ties in marriage.
C. She should never marry a man who
asked the sacrilice of her Individuality or
permitted her to dominate his. Kach has
a right to that inner Belf, for each soul
comes Into the world and goes out of It
alone.
7. As a rule she should marry young, al
ways provided she has a sufficient knowl
edge of the world. The ignorance of
women In this regard is stupendous. But
men, too, are ignorant. The father should
be his son's teacher, the mother her daugh
ter's. 8. She should chooso a young man pref
erably, because he then becomes educated
with her. They are likely to be more
adaptable to each other.
9. A young woman should never marry
a middle-aged man with the Idea of chang
ing him. He will expect the woman he
marries to conform to standards already
fixed.
10. A woman should take some time to
study tho character of the man with whom
she expects to spend her life.
11. She should ask, above' all things, the
confidence of the man she marries. If sho
understands his circumstances a woman
with any heart will be willing to make
sacrifices and yet not run her husband Into
debt.
12. She should demand an allowance and
not consent to a housekeeping scheme
which includes the running of bills. She

Fashions for little t'jis, while not so elab
orate as those for older people, are yet
quite as dainty and attractive. Little
gowns cot money when bought ready matte
and if mother is willing to tpare the time
considerable expense ran be savtd by fash
ioning them ut home. The small dress
shown is very simple and easily con
structed. The souaie yoke nay be made as
elaborate or as simple as desired, tucks
and insertion or a dainty hand embroidery
elaborating it. A ruffle of embroidery acts
as finishing. Nainsook, lawn, Persian mull
and Swiss are suitable materials. For the
medium size I yards of 3S-lnch material
are needed.
Sixes, I to year. a
should handle the money she spends and
understand the value of a dollar.
To sum It all up, I should say that a
woman In marrying should look for the
man with whom she hopes to spend her
life. She should marry him with the Idea
of becoming tre mother of Ids children.
Phe should have In mind the way of har
mony. I believe there should be In the
graduate course of every young man ana
woman a series of lectures on marriage, mi
the domentlo life, the marital bond, to pre
pare young reople for what lies before. Not
perfection, but human virtues with human
faults Is what we want.
If divorce or separation have to come
the man or woman alone may take up the
broken threads and make a new life. If
there $o children a blight falls upon them.

We are Tery fortunate Id boing able to arrange with the publisher
of these well known magazines to offer their publications at thla wu
satlonal price. It Is an opportunity not oftan presentea. New before
bos a publisher been able to make so liberal aa otter on exclusive high
grade and high priced magazines.
You ask how is this offer possible If the three magazine hare a
fixed value aad are not like the commodities usually offered t bargaia
prices.
THE EXPLANATION
It Is wen known to everyone in business that in fixing a eelTlng
price there must be adder! to the manufacturing cost the coat of mar
keting. The cost of marketing a magazine Is a big Item, and these
three publishing houses decided to unify their efforts to get new read
ers, making one organization de the work, and divide the cost of mar
keJng by three. That is why you caa buy these magazines, that fit
the needs of every home, for nearly half price.
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY FARMER
This is a magazine designed for every member of the farm home.
Special articles on subjects of the greatest Interest are printed each
week. These are written by men of national reputation and cover a
field so diversified as to embraee during the year all branches of farm
activity and life. Frank O. Carpenter's "Letters of Travel" and Wil
liam Jennings Bryan's "Around the World Letters" appear in no
other agricultural paper. Either one of these features are worth the
price of a year's subscription. No other farm paper maintains so many
regular departmenta, such as Feeding, Live Stock, Veterinary, Dairy,
Poultry, Crops, Farm Devices, Orchard and Garden, with four page
devoted to the women, young folks and children. Each of these de
partment Is edited by a practical editor and not by a theorist.
REVIEW OF REVIEWS.
Tbls magazine is almost necessary for the up-to-date man or
woman who pretends to keep abreast with the times. Its lllustrationa
will consist of 1,200 pictures a year. Its departments give the best
that is in all ef the other Important magazines all over the world.
Timely and Informing articles, almost as fresh and as full of new. In
terest as the dally papers.
THE COSMOPOLITAN.
This has been a leading magazine for eighteen years. With the
recent change in ownership it has been improved and is far better In
every respect. Its gain in newsstand sales and in subscriptions have
been remarkable, and these are due to the new life and real merit.
The Cosmopolitan Is printing what the people want. U contains regu
