TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 10, 1906. For and About Women Folks nlrlns; th Ilnme-Ilollalnsr rroblesn. ANT main In mtnr of life' avo- I cation hav given a variety of " I Mesa on how wageworker might become home onn. 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. liu Dlsoovorer Honored. lira. Wllhelmtna Paton Fleming, who has achieved fame through her dlsoovery 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. - This Is the collection of photographs taken as ft oonstant record of the heavens by means of the Henry Draper memorial fund, established twenty years ago by Be&ety mous. "Print It, of course," they all ex claimed In chorus. And here It Is: 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.

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 tine descent Into the perilous depth of the cellar, hair-raising tale of how mother was found on a stepladder hanging a win dow curtain how mother Instated on put- before In the history of ocean travel, ting down the preserves and pickles, rows Among this great number there are, ot and rows and rows ef shining glasses of course, many to whom it Is the first trip them, herself, and how tired she was after- over, and some of these have sadly mis ward, as If putting down the preserves taken ideas concerning their outfit and tired only Women who were past middle the various other rules and requirements age. And a certain Indignation rose within ot travel. 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 One girl who baa often told her fathir that she could go to Europe with him for a three months' Jaunt if given ft few days' notice and ft suit case has suddenly found, after engaging passage with six months' notice that she cannot be cora- to death If necessary, but don't let her Portable unless they can take two steamer Overdo." 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.

Every- traveler tells a different story about the wardrobe requirements of travel, simply because these requirements differ so materially with each one.
