G TI1E OMATTA ILLUSTRATED BEE. Janvinrr 7, 1 For and Fortune for m Good t noU. MrriuinVillT tl, i vnnt rfrl 1 question appears In a light attrac 1 tii' tiiba in emnlover and em ploye. An Instance In point oc curred In New York City during the holidays whrn Hanker Jacob H. Schiff pave ft lurs of V.Q"Q to Frauleln I-fna. a rook who has Iven In the service of the Sohlff family for twenty-five years. Mrs. Schlff gave her prize cook and prize stayer a cluster diamond Tin, and other members added to the substantial rewards which I.enas long and faithful service com manded. Prauleln Lena had been given a good edu cation In Germany, and as a young woman came to America, Intending to teach Her man, but she soon discovered good cookery was of greater moment than good German and she studied that and adopted It as a profession. "There Is a world of suggestion In the Ufa of this woman whoso quarter of a century of devotion to the high profession which has Us atelier In the kitchen, who has received a munificent salary and who Is so richly re warded at Christmas-tide," says the ilaltl moro American, commenting on the Inci dent. "An iiidifTcrent teacher of German or, at least, one who would have had an in different salary from the crass drudgery of teaching-became an artistic cook and has made a fortune. She was so esthetic as to recognize that refined viands appealed to the stomach more powerfully than refined language to the mental digestive organs, and that while intellectualizlng had a more exalted sound victualling had a more pro lific sense. "Gastronomy, and not astronomy and geometry, is the thing. The physical, not the metaphysical, takes the pastry. The domestic entity Is confronted by a condition In which It is almost Impossible to secure cooks who know their business. The young women of the day, as a mass, know nothing of fine cookery or coarse, either, for that matter. Tens of thousands of teachers of the T'nlted States, masculine and feminine good, poor and Indifferent wear their lives away for a pittance of from TM to $K a month for eight or nine months of the year, while if they would perfect themselves in the fine art of cookery they could command ton times that wage. Hundreds of thou sands of young women go Into store or office or factory and work for a few dollars a week, possibly Just barely enough for board and clothing, when they might make fortunes in a few years as expert cooks. "Good cooks are always in demand at high wages, and they aro treated with profound respect, because they are hard to find, if for no other reason. It Is an Ignorant esti mate to call cooking a mean or common calling. It Is one of the most exalted. It is In great hands really one of the learned professions. Rich and poor, learned and ignorant, must eat, and the finer the food the finer the fiber of the body and mind. Frauleln Ixna and a myriad of others can testify that there Is a luxurious and cer tain future for young women who can ac quire the exalted art of knowing what to cook and when and how to cook It, and who become enthusiasts In the profession. For such as these good stomachs will always pave the way to good money." When Men Smoke at Home. Where the family consists largely of men a careful housewlfo has one annoyance from which she is never free. Clearing away cigar stubs, burnt matches and myriad particles of tobacco that become scattered on tables and chiffoniers, is her never' ending task. Especially Is this true when a man makes the house his club as well aa his home. For, however particular he may be personally about the care of his smoking paraphernalia, men friends and not Infrequently other members of the family have little regard either for table covers or for handsome carpets. In one household where three brothers and the father were all smokers the mother remarked that the soft green carpet in her sitting room showed minute brown specks near each of the 'comfortable chairs. In several places it was actually burned. This gave her the key to their origin. Rach boy, as he smoked his cigarette or cigar would fleck oft the end, using the ash receiver only when the gray tip became unusually long. The result was .that many a spark reached the floor while It was yet hot, and after Innumerable flecklngs the carpet had not failed to show the effect. Her husband, too, had his share in it. At the nightly cleaning of his pipe he would carefully scrape the contents Into the waste basket, and then blow through the pipe prodigiously to free it from all particles. Little brown specks flew in every direction and as most of them were damp with saliva they clung fast to the fuzzy nap. The homemaker's remedy for all this was the purchase of large papier mache and prettily decorated china bowls. These she substituted in every room in the house for Eau de Quinine Hair Tonic Perfume (Brt EnbauBM VioletU) Elixir Dentifrice '..., 'V- " Ed. Phuud'i Eau de Quoin the refreshing Hi Tonic there is."

It did not take the family long to learn the luxury of a spacious dish in which to fleck their clgirettes, and to clean the old tobacco from their pipes. And not only did the mother's carpets get the benefit, but her dainty table covers as well were spared tho wear and tear of the dally brushing which the previous night's waste tobacco and overflow of ashes always necessitated. In another home the mother noticed that he was constantly having to buy matches. At the beginning of the week each room would be supplied with a small box of them, but before Thursday every one of the boys would be calling for a match when they came to light their gas at night. She observed as well that whenever they lighted their cigars it was always with the special kind of matches she was In the habit of buying. Without saying a word, she thought out a scheme for thwarting them. The next time they looked for matches they found the tiny box tied by means of a short length of baby ribbon to the bracfict of the gas Jet. That is, the ribbon ran through the frame of the box, so that a fresh case could be inserted when necessary. The mother's plan was more thun successful. Bo long as the boxes were not handy to pick up and tuck in their pockets the boys bought their own matches for smoking purposes, while the match boxes In the house were always to be found just where they were left. Besides petty annoyances of this sort, which are Inevitable in a family where the men all smoke, the homemaker has certain duties which are really essential. For in stance, a cigar or cigarette stub that Is allowed to smoulder after it Is laid down Is apt to make a person nauseated who does not use tobacco, while the effect on the lungs is worse than a roomful of fresh smoke. Kvery flicker of light should be extinguished before the stub is thrown In the dish. Ashes and stubs allowed to remain in a room over night leave a dreadfully stale odor of tobacco smoke the next morning. Ash receivers should be emptied before retiring, and the following day should be well cleaned out with soap and hot water. Lastly, never leave stubs or smoked pipes In a room where someone is to sleep. Woman's Definition of Success. A Kansas woman, Mrs. A. J. Stanley of Lincoln, has been awarded a prize of t) by a Boston Arm for the best answer to the question, "What constitutes sue. ess?" She wrote: "He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of in telligent men and the love of llttlo children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task: who has left the world better than he found It, whether by an Improved poppy, a perfect poem or rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express It; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an Inspiration; whobe memory a benediction." Ileydey of tbe Burial Secretary. Tills Is the era of the social secretary. In New York, Philadelphia and Washington her power Is strong. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish seldom travels without her scribe. At the time of fhe International Railway congress she brought her tried and trusty secre tary to Washington, but, recognizing the local demand, she obtained the services of Mrs. Chauncey Depew's mentor. The social secretary can get rich if she has an eye to business, but these young women are as tute enough to know that get-rich-qulck schemes do not pay In the long run. Miss Isabel Hagner, who Is Mrs. Roosevelt's sec retary, receives many offers from persons who want invitations to semi-official festiv ities In the White House. One particularly persistent Importer of gowns and millinery offered to keep Miss Hagner suuplled In robes and head covering for two seasons If she would get him an opportunity to view an official reception from the Inside. Similar offers, though not so many, come to Miss Margaret Wade, social secretary for Mrs. Fairbanks, wife of tho vice presi dent Manager of n Trolley Line. Work has been commenced on an electric railroad from Santa Monica to Hueneme. The name of the new road Is the Hueneme, Mallbu & Port Los Angeles, of which cor poration Mrs. May RIndge is president and H. W. Lemcke general manager. The com pany is capitalized at 11,0(10,000 and will have Its offices In Santa Monica. The road follows the beach and In Ventura county will connect with the Burson road for Ven tura and thence to Santa Barbara. Ralls, rolling stock and equipment have been or dered In the east. Several hundred yards of track have already been laid and a force of 200 men will soon be at work. The line will be extended from Santa t ' moat l' i I MS . -sV :Ver-..T.iHgUF I Monica to Los Angeles and at the other end. after reaching Santa Barbara, It is expected It will be ultimately pushed on to San Francisco. The section of the rood now building is the first part of what is proposed to be a beach trolley line from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Mrs. Rindge, whose name appears as tho president of the company. Is the widow of the late millionaire Frederick H. RIndge, who Initiated the enterprise. RIndge left sn estate of $35.00O.ofO, which fact guaran tees the financial stability of the present undertaking. Variety In Dags. Wrist bsgs, belt bags, purses and card cases have never been placed before the public In more tempting array than in tho present season. They come In leather, beads, feathers, vel vets, silks, laces, gold, silver and gunmetal. Familiar leathers, like the English morocco, appear In new colors that render them as unusual as the season's novelty leathers. It Is easy now to match a costume in theso leathers. The convenience wrist bag Is this year's triumph. Stocked with all sorts of toilette and stationery articles needed on little Jour neys about town, they lose none of their grace of outline and delicate structure. Mirror, powder puff, pin roll, smelling salts bottle, watch, pencil, memorandum book even opera glass and fan are tucked away In a slender little bag. There Is no specially modish shape for the wrist bag. Long oblongs, squares and leaf shapes prevail. Chains or narrow leather straps form the handles. Leather card cases and purses follow out the general style of wrist bags. They come In the extremes of simplicity and ornate ness. This is the season of the bead bag. It cannot be had for a song; It Is as costly as it Is beautiful, which Is a good deal. The most daring flower designs are worked In the solid beading that covers the surface from fringe to silver or gold mount ing set with semi-precious stones. Orchids, lilacs, roses, violets, etc., are treated In conventional bunches or In artistic studies of a few loose flowers. Quaint landscapes with picturesque shepherdesses are also seen. '- Bags with background divided Into an upper and a lower half of sharply contrast ing colors and a Moorish design In gold or sliver over the surfaces are among the new est and most striking. A turquoise bluo and white background covered with fretwork designs In gold is an illustration of this style. Thrifty Speculator. By Investing her small savings In Cana dian land Miss Hazel Clark, the youngest successful farmer and speculator in Iowa, finds that she has made good profit as the result of her shrewdness and good Judg ment. Two years ago the little miss bought 100 acres of land near Weyburn, Canada, which that same year raised a wheat crop which netted her J5u0. Thjs fall she sold the land at an advance and has made 2,F,00. Miss Clark is the daughter of a former Jesup (la.) banker. Misfortune came to the father and all his possessions were swept away. At the time that an electric line was built from Cedar Falls to Waterloo, In this state, Mr. Clark moved his family to Water loo and being out of a Job secured work as a day laborer shoveling dirt and doing all kinds of hard manual labor. It now develops that right at the critical time, when the family needed help the most, little Miss Hazel luckily Invested the few dollars she had saved In the fast-advancing real estate in the Canadian country and the Investment has brought the family out of poverty and placed the father upon bis feet again. A Mountain Gold. In Colorado City there Is a 13-year-old girl who Is rapidly becoming known to per sons from all parts of the United States. Her name Is Jennie Barr and her father owns a livery stable near the entrance of the Garden of tho Gods. During the busy season little Miss Barr acts as a guldo to parties taking trips on burros through that wonderful park. She manages these stub Hints on Latest Fashions For the accommodation of readers of The Bee these patterns, which usually retail at from X to 60 cents each, will be furnished at the nominal price of 10 cents. A supply is now kept at our office, so those who wish any pattern may get It either by call ing, or enclosing 10 cents, addressed "Pat tern Department, Bee, Omaha." NOS. 6431 AND 636S-A MODISH GOWN. The designs for street gowns are very charming In their freedom from the over elaborate and this feature is not unpleasant to the woman who fashions her own frocks. A smart model Is given which would serve well for street wear or for use at home. It combines the latest ideas along fashion lines and would become almost any one. A rich plum-colored broadcloth developed the gown with chemisette of tucked taffe tas. Small box pleats stitched to yoke depth provide a becoming f jllness as well as adornment. The skirt Is a new thirteen gore model, having Its pleats stitched to yoke depth, they being adorned with straps crossing the gores and following the pleats up a short distance in graduated depth to simulate a yoke. The front gore resembles a panel falling uninterruptedly from the belt. The panel effects are very modish and are undoubtedly an influence of tha empire. The gown Is not difficult of con struction and Is suitable to cashmere, Hen rietta, broadcloth or voile. For the medium size I yards of 44-inch material are neces sary. Two pattern! M31-Sizes, 33 to 42 Inches, born little animals to perfection and can tighten a saddle girth or adjust stirrups with "the great'-st ease. Her manner Is graceful and shows a refinement some what out of harmony with her environ ment. The tone of the average guide Is monotonous and his descriptions stereo typed, but with her it is different. The places of Interest are pointed out with gen uine pleasure and her explanations of the freaks of nature show originality and In telligence beyond her years. The burros ridden are hired from herv father and no charge Is made for the charming little guide, the average tourist Is so at tracted by her winsomencss that a sub stantial tip Is forthcoming. In this way the girl adds quite a snug sum to her savings bank account. Women Advertisers. Women advertisers are In the field to stay and those In Philadelphia are no lag gards In the business. Two young women of bright minds who are both educated at Vassar college are occupying very lucra tive positions as advertisers In a couple of big department stores. Another, a clever young woman artist, graduate of a well known fashionable school In this city, di rects her energies toward Illustrating In street cars and concocting catchy verses as her Illustrative accompaniment. Tho brighter the girl, the more original ity she has In this particular line, the bet ter her opportunity for a lucrative em ployment. Just at the present time woman's work In this line Is mostly In the purely feminine fields of dress and trinkets, but there Is no reason to doubt that with enlarged experience she w-:I have an op portunity to direct some of the advertis ing of the general departments of the larger shops. On Ills Foot. The mild business man was calmly read ing his paper In the crowded trolley car. In front of him stood a little woman hang ing by a strap. Her arm was beli.g slowly torn out of her body; her eyes were flash ing at him, but she constrained herself to silence. Finally, after she had endured It for twenty minutes, he touched her arm and said: "Madam, you are standing on my foot." "Oh, am I?" she savagely retorted. "I thought it was a valise." Leaves from Fashion's Notebook. Alice and army blue 'are said to be the coming favorites of spring. Women are returning to the plain, sober black stocking for everything but evening. Some stunning suits for young girls sre of velvet or, preferably, velveteen. For the average young girl is hard on her clothes, and velvet "marks" easily. Buttons are used in every conceivable way. Tiny lace or pearl ones trim the sheerest of blouses, and big ones, elaborate or plain, trim coats and suits and dresses. Heavy gold bangle bracelets are wonder fully popular with girls who are engaged, but who haven't yet announced it. A bracelet Is much less telltale than the al most Inevitable solitaire. Hats are growing bigger, and that fright ful tilt so Bteep In some Instances as to suggest a toboggan slide Is modified to a charming degree. The rule Is that the top of your crown muBt show In front, but the merest suggestion of a tilt will do It. Pink and blue slips for blouses have been done to death. And lavender gives a dull, grayish tlngo to the daintiest, freshest blouse. White is best liked, and It may be of any material. China silk a little In the lead and fine white lawn a close second. Empire wreaths And their way Into every sort of thing. The newest trick Is making them of foliage and spangles Into an ornament for the hair. But, besides, the form Is applied In every way, from gold and silver ones embroidered upon shimmer ing gray evening gowns to stenciling upon wall paper. Old-fashioned styles and customs reign once more among debutantes and take some of the matrons back to the days of their girlhood. Particularly Is this the case when they see the young society buds clad in frocks of tarlatan dropping the courtesy which years ago was considered the proper obeisance of a young girl to her elder. Girdles of lace, cleverly shaped and made tip on lltted and boned foundations of crino line covered by cloth of gold or silver are among the novelties, and there are shown, too, some fur girdles wnrh, while more novel than beautiful, are y no means so cumbersome as they sound and are smooth ly finished in leather. One of the newest Ideas Is the Wattenu girdle, a high draped corselet nt the top of which in the middle back is set a butter- bust. 63GS Sizes, 20 to 30 inches, waist, The price of these patterns is 20 cents, but either will be sent upon receipt of 10 cents.

AN Men and women of every occupation overtax the kidneys and Buffer dally miseries when the kidneys begin to fail. Any work that Is a constant strain on the back Is bound to hurt the kid neys. The lifting, digging and planting of farm work, the constant bending over a desk or sitting at a sewing ma chine, working for hours on Jarring, jolting wagons or railroad trains; the stooped positions and the reaching, pulling and heavy lifting of a hundred different trades all these are hard on the back and must wear, weaken and injure the kidneys, because the kidneys are In the very rart of the back that feels the strain. When the kidneys are sick every exertion sends a sharp, stinging pain through the back or loins, and you are weary and tired all the time. Many tasks, like housework, that do not require great physical strength, are very trying on the back and kid neys. That is why backache is so common. That Is why so many women are unnatjally weak and tired and sleepless. Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thousands of worklngmen and women DOAN'S Sold by all dealers.

Has the world an artist worthy to model a fitting memorial for the gentle servant girl who recently died in Ootham after sixty-one years' service in one family? Alas, we almost fear It hasn't. She was too precious for any human memorial. For some weeks Mrs. William Astor, leader of society and mistress of millions, has been ill in bed, but has passed her time knitting scarfs for poverty-stricken children. The children are not to be told the name of the distinguished maker. Miss Claribel David has been appointed assistant city attorney In San Francisco, this being an unusual position for a woman to occupy. She graduated at the University of California and at the Hastings Law school, and has been very successful in her law practice. Anna Shaw devotes a good deal of her time to complaining that her sex Is not given fair opportunity to advance. Her biography, recently published, would Indi cate that she at least is kept fairly busy. She Is described as an ordained preacher, a graduate in medicine and a lecturer who makes a good deal of money in the last named capacity. Mme. Loubet, the wife of the president of the French republic, is a typical French Woman and has become, since her arrival at the Elysee, exceedingly popular. Mme. Loubet has the strong maternal Instinct which always distinguishes a southern Frenchwoman; she is a fund and vigilant mother and Is often met walking about In tho neighborhood of the palace with her youngeBt son. From the first she has taken special Interest in all those charitable in stitutions designed to benefit the children of the poor and the orphans of Paris. The youngest notary public in Indiana Is Miss Jesme Johnson of Kukonio. She Is It years old. She received her commission lust week, duly signed by Governor Hanly and Secretary of State Storms.

WOMAN'S HOME COMPANION COUNTRY CALENDAR We are very fortunate Id being able to arranRe with the pnbllsbera of these well known magazines to offer their publications at thU anu aational price. It Is an opportunity not often presented. Never before bas a publisher been able to make bo liberal an offer on exclusive high grade and high priced magazines. You ask how is this offer possible if the three maKazlnes have a fixed value and are not like the commodities usually offered et bargain prices. THE EXPLANATIOn It Is well known to everyone In business that In fixing a gelling price there must be added to the manufacturing cost tho cost of mar ketlng. 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 do the work, and divide the cost of mar keting by three. That Is why you can buy these magazines, that lit 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 embrace 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 tho price of a year's subscription. No other farm paper maintains so many regular departments, such as Feeding, Live Stock, Veterinary, Dairy, Poultry, Crops, Farm Devices, Orchard and Garden, with four pages devoted to the women, young folks and children. Each of these de partments is edited by a practical editor and not by a theorist. REVIEW OF REVIEWS.
