Rarely have women given their
"T""i
Ideas that publicity which thlr dominant
Interest In the home problem warrant.
For. while man provides the wherewith
and generally supervises the construction.
It la the woman who make the home and
Civet It lta true significance.
At the' convention of Woman's Clubs In
Ft. Paul the problem of how a young mar
ried couple can live on a salary of $100
a month In a flve-room flat and sae
enough money to begin building a house
In the auburbt the tint year waa aolved
with happy result. According to a dia
gram which the household economic
committee hat mapped out, any typical
honeymoon pair can Mil and coo upon
thli stipend without running Into debt
If they will only follow the chart faith
fully. All thla Is exemplified In a "model flat"
exhibit, which, with other display, ha
been Installed In the bid capltol building.
Pamphleta which are distributed among
the, visitors by the women In charge, give
a complete outline of life on $100 per
month. The document reads In part:
The committee has tried to set forth
in detail ft practical, every -day home
which any man earning a ealary of 1100
ft month may provide for ft family. We
begin with the young married couple set
tling their first home, assuming that the
husband has saved $500 and that the wife
has had the training In home and sohool
which will fit her1 to do her part In the
making of ft home.
"The first year they rent and furnish
comfortably, the cost of equipment beln
1400, a flve-room apartment, saving about
$100 to apply on the purohase of a lot.
Being well provided with clothing and
having no extras the first' year, they are
able to save $300 towards their new home
above rent and living expenses.
"The cost of ft day's ration for one man
ought to be from SB to SO cents. The
dietary standards usually calculate the
mount of food needed by a woman as
four-fifths as much as a man."
The members of the committee which
prepared the exhibit and the report are:
Mrs. Mary Moody Pugh, chairman; Mrs.
Josephine Newman Smith, Mrs. Robert
Miller and Mrs. Anna Barrows.

Of stars la connection with her work a
curator of astronomical photographs -it
the Harvard observatory, has been elected
ft member of the Boyal Astronomical so
ciety of London. She Is the first Ameri
can woman and the third of her sex to
receive suoh honors. Previous woman
members of the society are Lady Hugglns
and Agnes M. Clarke.
More star discoveries are credited to
Mrs. Fleming than to any other person
In the history of science. This talented
woman, however, attributes her success
not to herself, but to the equipment
whereby she works. -

ANTHONY, Kan., May 2S, 10.
Mr. Thomas P. Murdock, Eldorado Kan.,
Dear Sir: Eighteen years ego this sum
mer a young mother was going east with
her first baby. The beby, only I months
old, was sick and very fretful, the mother
very tired and anxious.
In the same oar were ft number of poli
ticians, nlng. I think, to a convention.
The young mother listened to murh of their
conversation, even smiling Internally at one
or two of their good stories; but It did not
occur to her that any of them had ob
served her or her struggles with the baby,
until the train stopped at the supper sta
tion and the gay crowd trooped out. Ther.
one man csme to her, Inquired about the
baby and told her to go out and get her
supper, saying that he would hold the baby
and she wss not to hurry. Circumstances
made It unnecessary for her to accept this
offer, but she did not neglect to learn the
name of the friendly politician. Through
all these years, whenever she has seen that
name In print she he said to her husband,
"Rome day I shall write him a note about
that little Incident, which he tins probably
forgotten entirely, and tell him that for
eighteen years he hss had one Arm friend
thAt he knows not of: also that more than
once when traveling I have endeavored to
pass the act of kindness on."
Now that the baby Is finishing her high
school wcrk the mother seises the occa
sion to Inclose a commencement card and
sav "thank you" once more.
"So shines a good deed in a naughty
world." Very sincerely and cordially,
LELIA C. NOFT2UER.
(Mrs. Thomas A. Noftsger.)
Dr. Draper of New Tork City and Dobbs
Ferry, N. T. Dr. Draper was the Ameri
can pioneer In the photographing of stel
lar spectra, ft system which Mrs. Flem
ing continues, and the work she Is pur
suing waa founded In his memory.
Mrs. Fleming, who appears In sctentlflo
record simply as "W. Fleming," Is ft na
tive of Dundee, Scotland, and has been At
the Harvard observatory twenty-seven
years. She discovered her first star In
HIT. A partial list of her discoveries in
cludes eight stars of the type Nova,
eleven new Variables and eighty-three
tar In ft cluster which formerly wo
supposed to contain only fifteen.
Elderly Iftaii'i Polat of View.
"Oh,- mother darling," my daughter
cried, "you're not going to that lecture
with your cold In that drafty Tifill! And
you always catch more cold In ft crowd!
You won't go, will youT"
"Well, welt," I temporised".
"Tou won't go promfse." Then the door
bell rang, and t made my escape to my
own room and locked my door sftar me,
ey writer In Everybody's Magaslne. I
knew well enough wrmt would hnppen
how Margaret would tell the others at
dinner tnat I wa going out with my cold
and how they would protest. And I
made up my mind, as often I have before,
that since I am old enough to know what
Is best for me, I would go to that lecture,
let them talk as they might; so I got
ready for the battle, resolving for the
hundredth time that I would not be run
by my children.
As I sat in my room plotting ye plot
ting how I would outwit my daughter. It
came over me what a funny thing It was
that I should be contriving to get my own
way for all the world like a naughty,
elderly child, while my youngest daughter
waa worrying about my hefidstrong wnys
as if she were my mother Instead of my
being hers.
How Increasingly often I hear as the
years go on, not only from my own chil
dren, but from other people whose mothers
are already old:
"Mother will not take care of herself!"
And then follow fearsome stories of
mother's latest escapade Just as one tells
how naughty Johnnie Is getting and how
Susie kicks her bedclothes off stories of
how mother made a raid on the attic and
cleaned It almost single handed when all
the family were away; stories of clandes

cellar, hair-raising tale of how mother
was found on a stepladder hanging a win

Man's soft !.
"I have found ft new way to ft man's
heart," said the girl who has had three
proposals this early in the season. "It is
through his socks. The stomach, as a short
cut to a man's affections. Is a regular con
tinental railway route compared Willi the
hosiery line of travel. The modern young
man 1 excessively fond of his socks. He
exercises his best taste In buying them, and
he likes to have that taste appreciated,
lie gives you every chance In the world
to show your appreciation. Invariably he
manages to leave a hiatus between his
shoe tope and his trousers, and then, If
you have designs on that young man, all
you have to do Is to cast sidelong but ad
miring glances at the revealed expanses of
hosiery and murmur 'What ft pretty pat
tern,' and the trick is accomplished. , You
don't need to go into particulars. He un
derstands. Those socks are the pride of
his heart, and the minute he finds you ad
mire them too he is yours tor the summer
season, at least."
Tips from Foreign Tourists.
It Is said that there are more people
going to Europe this season than ever
me as X remembered that I can visit my
own attio and my own cellar only by
stealth or with a devoted tyrannical child
of mine standing over me to see that I
don't "overdo." For the motto of all do
voted sons and daughters Is: "Nag mother

How He Doubted the Number.
"Such a change,'' said Senator Tillman,
apropos of a certain bill, "would be about
as satisfactory as the change that ft laud
lord once made.
"A woman came to see this landlord.
She wanted to look at ft house that waa
to let. The man sent a clerk to show her
over the house, and on her return she
said:
I like the house verv well. There la
only one thing that I object, to.'
Well, madam, any reasonable altera
tion,' the landlord murmured sauvely,
'would, provided you took ft three-year
lease'
" 'I'd take ft three-year lease,' eald the
woman, 'if only the house had more
closets.'
The number of closets shall be
doubled,' said the landlord.

pleased voice, and she signed the lease abroad the American baggage system is
