about the feminine luck of cour

A few months ago Evelyn
Walsh, daughter of the Colorado multi
millionaire, almost killed In a motor
accident. Ifer life hum by a thread fur

In Colorado as a last resort. There the
bmrlng air cured her. and one day la at

reeled off fifteen mile In twenty minutes.
No fear there.

"But why go an far afield? Consider the
average woman, how ahe shops, nnd the
oclety woman, how she dances," ex
claims the Cleveland Leader. "And what
daring of mere man matches the hardihood
of woman In defying the weather lest ahe
lie false to fashion?
"As for the touch and stamp of the age,
when did woman ever refuse risks for what
she greatly desired. It's nothing new for
her to be venturesome. Courage Is an old
atory as old as her fortitude. Has she not
been compelled to make tho best nnd most

Rnr Toeatlon for Women.
A new vocation for women Is that of
the atory teller, and It Is bound to grow
more popular each year. The mother haa
rlwaya been the story teller of the child.
Instinctively realizing that by this means
ahe could best amuse and Interest the boy
or girl, boys being especially fond of
Btorles. Pedagogical study has gone a step
farther and decided that through the me
dium of the story the child may not only
' be amused and Interested, hut his taste for
food stories cultivated. The mother who
made up her stories as she went along had
no sclentlflo reason for the pleasant task,
but all the girl children In her stories were
good and all the boys brave, and many
lessons of right living were unconsciously
taught In the bedtime atorlea that mothers
of the past generation always made part
of their dally life with tha children. Many
teachers are good atory tellers, but there
re many women neither mothers nor
teachers who have a talent for story tell
ing, and these women will be much In
demand now that the fad for story telling
la developing. The Carnegie library of
Pittsburg has Issued a list of stories that
mothers can easily obtain, and thla will
be very convenient to supplement the home
made stories of both teachers and mothers.
Mothers will be especially glad of the list
of Bible atorlcs, aa It la not always easy
to decide what stories to select from this
book. The list Includes "The Boy Samuel,"
"Daniel In the Lion's Den," "David and
Goliath," "Elijah and the Widow's Son,"
"FYtll of Jericho," "Feast of Belshaztar,"
"Gideon and the Mldlanltos," "Joseph and
His Brethren." "Nnaman and the Leper,"
"Noah and His Ark," "Queen Esther,"
"Ruth and Boas," "Solomon and, the Queen
of, Sheba" and the well known' atorlea of
the parables.
The professional story teller has for the
most part confined herself to telling stories
to teachers and In some Instances they
have not proved s'uecaasful with children,
who will soon discover how much the narra
tor loves the atory, nnd will easily detect
little mannerisms that detract from the
success of the effort. In some libraries, the
Carnegie of Pittsburg, for Instance, story
telling Is done systematically! a regular
course being given.
The Girl Who Seeks Change.
With the bed and chairs piled up with
crisp shirt waists, fluffy lingerie and dainty
gowns, the girl was making a beginning
toward packing her trunk, relates the New
York Press. The friend whose help had
been rather unceremoniously refused,
asked: "Why In the world do you want to
go to such an outlandish place? You don't
know anybody there and nobody I ever
heard of ever went there."
"That's Just It," said the packer, pinning
some stocks up In a big handkerchief.
"That's why I chose It. I don't want to
go where I see people I know. I want
n entire change. I don't want to hear
conversation about people nod things I
know; I want to hear about what I don't
know. How can I get any new Ideas or
any new point of view If I associate with
people I see all winter? We people who go
tn a set or coterie here get so we think
very much alike on all sorts of subjects;
we do very much the same things, we read
much the same books, and we even go to
the name amusements. Now, . I want to
associate with those who have not even
heard of the books we all read; who will
give my thoughts and opinions a Jolt, who
can offer me amusements and pleasures
that I have not dreamed of, and who can
even Introduce dishes to me that I never
before tasted.
."It's not that I am discontented with my
winter friends, but I feel that I will go
round In a circle If I don't have something
to pull me out of line. Besides, these new
acquaintances cannot remind me of my
work, because they know nothing of It.
Neither can they talk of things that dis
turb me, becuVise they do not know of
them. They are not acquainted with my
character and maybe they will develop in
tne traits that I have never dreamed be
fore that I possess. These strangers, too,
will rest my eyes, for, do you know, my
eyes really get tired of seeing the same
people? They will not know my idiosyn
crasies and therefore maybe I will get
rid of them, when 1 see they are not sus
pected. ,
"No, my dear, If you want to recom
mend a vacation resort for me, you don't
want to begin with telling me that a lot
of people go there I know."
Woman's Reason for Farming.
I desire to go on a form probably be
cause I never lived on one, relates a wo
man In the Century.
"As a rule a man's a foot;
When It's hot he wants It cool,
And when It's cool he wants It hot
Always wanting what is nut."
My father and mother's brothers were
born on the farm; but they left It aa soon
as they were old enough to acV independ
ently, so that. In my farming notions, I
have no encouragement from relatives.
They, however, had their way to moke. I
do not expect to make money on a farm
that Is, not primarily though I hope to
make the farm support me (who am the

proposed overseer) and all the other work
ers on It,
A farmer who works his own farm Is
only, after all, an Independent day laborer,
and no one can blame a young man for
trying other methods of making a living.
The enso of some women with a small
amount of capital Is quite different, how
ever. For Instance, If a woman has a
strong love for green fields and trees and
animals; If every living, growing thing Is
Interesting to her; If she has had a college
education; has seen the world, or a good
portion of It; knows, besides, what office
work In a city Is and Is thoroughly ac
quainted with boarding house life, she Is
In a position, I fancy, thoroughly to enjoy
a real home on a farm and all the luxuries
which that Implies. It Is only people of
experience who tan fully appreciate the
country nnd what It can give. The country
man holds many things cheap because he
never paid directly for them.
To bo sure, the farm must have all the
so-called "modern conveniences," with tele
phone and rural free delivery, besides; and,
If the woman expects to live on It the
greater part of the year. It should have
good railroad connection with some large
city. The woman whom we are considering
expects neither to follow the plow, do the
chores nor the house work, except In oases
of emergency; but she should be capable of
doing any one of them and Is trying to be
come so. What a generous life such a
woman can lead on a farm on an Income
which would support her but meagerly In
a city! This Is my theory. When I have
put It Into practice I hope to be able to
substantiate It.

Inarle Woman Problem.
The single woman problem has been the
subject of- much discussion and In a cur
rent magazine a number of women writers
give different phases of the subject, each
from her own point of view. Dorothy
Canfleld says: "We are confronted by
a condition and not by a theory," and
her contention is that women who must
be self-supporting may live much more
economically than some of them think

The shirt waist was originally designed
for convenience and comfort and nothing
has been found to take Its place, which
accounts for the popularity thla garment
enjoys. The term shirt blouse has so
broadened In meaning that almost every
sort of separate waist now ranks under
this head. A shirt blouse of excellent style
Is sketched here, which will prove becom
ing to the slender and full figure alike. The
outward-turning tucks lend breadth to the
shoulders and tapering lines to the waist,
while those of the sleeve suggest a deep
cuff. The novel front trimming strap
proves a very attractive closing and pro
vides field for trimming. Any washing
fabric, silk or soft woolen material may
serve for the waist. S',4 yards of 86-lnch
goods are neded to develop the pattern In

NOB. 3M-t-A HsmcOAT AND COR
SET COVER.
Many womea prefer to make their corset
covers and petticoats at home, and the re
sults are decidedly better than those ob
tained by the woman who buys hers ready
made, unless she pays a considerable sum
for tbese same necessities. Here is a de
sign for a very dainty corset cover of nain
sook, trimmed with the German Valen
ciennes Insertion and edging and prettily
finished fwlth ribbon-run beading. The
cover is full about the bust and narrow
over the shoulder, which avoids any extra
buuehness to mar the fit of the dress. The
skirt U a gored one, with two graudaied
flounces about the bottom. These may be
made narrower or wider as desired and
may be limited to one If preferred. The
skirt fits smoothly over the hips and flares
widely at the bottom. Silk, sateen or an
other skirting may be used. In the medium
sine the corset cover requires one yard,
while the skirt demands S yards of SK-incn

possible. She maintains that a woman
with brains enough to earn her living
should be Independent enough to choose
such environment and mode of living that
the will not be a slave to circumstances.
The American woman, she declares, "csn
start a crusade against the folly of kill
ing yourself In the effort to get what you
don't want, which Is the favorite occu
pation of our good American people."
Mrs. Li. H. Harris, another writer, thinks
that the single woman should be a mar
ried woman. "To be sure," she says,
"there are some Inconveniences and some
Injustices connected with the married life
of women, but If they expended half the
energy and shrewdness they show In their
absurd struggle for Independence learn
ing to please and manage their husbands,
these little objections would soon pass.
The monumental stupidity of women Is
that they are so long In learning that
their most successful manifestation of
power Is not In competition with men,
but It Is over men." Charlotte Perkins
Gllman remarks, apropos of this theory:
"But this was a woman, some will say,
and women must marry. Must they? Sup
pose there are not men enough to go
sround must they go to Utah?" Mary
Schenck Woolman, professor of domestic
art In Columbia university, thinks that
women should support themselves at work
they can do best and for the best remu
neration. "Why should a woman of high
attainments," she asks, "be contented to
prepare herself to make $400 a year In
some conservative position, when her en
ergetic, but less highly educated sister, Is
making $3,000 to $5,000 a year In Industrial
employment? The woman of today should
refuse to be kept to the old conservative
fields and should make herself a place
and livelihood In occupations needing de
velopment, belonging to her birthright,
and where man as yet has little knowl
edge. When he does enter these positions
he achieves success, but comparativly few
have as yet entered." The occupations she
mentions as needing women to organise
them are housekeeping, cooking, dressmak.
Ing, costume designing and care of children.
NO. 641&-A DELIGHTFUL. MORNING
QOWN.
If a dainty material be used the morning
gown Is one Instance where "simplicity Is
grace." The gown shown Is developed Id a
prettily flowered dimity with trimming
bands of plain color. These simulate a
shallow yoke about the neck and add
greatly to Its attractiveness. The elbow
sleeve Is finished with a narrow band and
two bias ruffles. The back of the gown
Is fitted, while the front hangs full from
the shoulder and Is girdled at the waist by
a broad crushed ribbon. The design is
easily- carried out at home and suitable to
any seasonable fabric. In the medium

out for big game, standing upon the sea
shore with his bow and arrows, aiming at
the breast of a pretty woman. She, his
helpless victim, kneels before the little god,
beseeching his mercy, her arms spread
apart in an appeal that she knows must
be vain for Cupid la relentless and beauty
was ever his mark. But her reluctance to
receive his arrow Is not deep her face
expresses a playful Joy In being conquered,
a certain gladnesa that she Is to be love's
victim which shows how well Qlbson

by the idea of being wounded by love's
dart, she would be In a shrinking attitude,
crouched back, her arms raised to protect
her bare bosom, her face Indicative of ter
ror. Instead of thla, she leans forward,
beseeching. It Is true, but leaving her
breast bare as. a target, and she would be
sorry If Cupid were to yield to her plea.
This Is eternally the attitude of woman.
She pleads not to be when she loves to be
won she steels her heart against her lovei
because she wants It to be taken by assault
and she despises the man who gives up
the stage because be sees It Is to be diffi

The superintendent of a Sunday school
near Boston was away and a young woman
experienced in kindergarten work took his
place. When the youngsters had assembled
the meeting was to be opened with' singing.
"Now. children," said the acting superin

songs that the little ones had learned,
"what shall we sing for our opening piece?"
Immediately a tiny little hand was raised.
"Well, Esther, what shall we sing?" And
Immediately came out In childish treble,
with an arch of the head showing the
charming artlessness of the Infantile mind:
"Please sing, 'Everybody Works but

of her skirt, while behind her head her
dark hulr is black against the pretty shad
ows upon her neck. These shadows have
definite forms, and the sharp outline of
these forms against the lighted surface tell
of the strong light that shines on the figures.'
Hut and this Is the most Important point
in the drawing the lines with which thess
shadows are formed are firm, smooth, un
hesitating, while those of the background
are broken, nervous. Irregular and swelling
into curves as they approach the fore
ground. It is by such treatment that the
artist suggests the shimmering surface of
the sunlit sea. Straight unbroken Hues
will do for a still sea on a cloudy day, but
when the sun dances upon a moving ocean
there are tiny glints of light which flash
from every ripple and by breaking up his
lines the artist leaves minute specks of
white which give the effect of sunshine.
And the swirling lines In the foreground
Indicate the eddies made by the water as It
runs up the sand and back again with each
successive wave.
The suggestion of sunlight on the sea in
tensifies the brilliance of the lights and
shadows upon the figures. Were It not for
this clever treatment of the background
they would nut stand out aa they do, but
would seem to lie flat, like cut-out figures,
upon the paper.
The picture may be summed up as a typ
ical example of Gibson, showing Intimate
knowledge of woman, a pretty Idea and the
Uvatiusnt of a niaatvr artist.
