For and About the Women Folks
T
(IrmOTlnf llata In Thutfri.
HE munuaement of a New Tork
lh.ai.er, in order to auforc a
rule requiring removal of hats
during the performance, now Is
sues a, ticket br which tb woman
tiurchner or user agrees to remove her
hut if requested to do so. Some wtks
ego the managers experienced considerable
difficulty In attompting to enforce the rule,
and In one Instance met failure after end
ing a doien ushera In auoreselon to the of-
' fender with requests to remove her list.
The contract ticket la the result of that
annoying failure. A. woman calls atten
tion to the Innovation In a letter to the
New Vork Times. She Inquire whether
the management, having forced the re
moval of the bats, has provided any place
to put them. There are the veil and the
hatpins as well as the hats. So long as
their removal waa a voluntary act of cour
tesy, the' women were content to curry
them on tholr laps or fasten them on the
! backs of the sests before them. But un
der compulsion that Is a different matter.
The woman In the Times also asks, with
weetnesc, but deep feeling, whether the
management hts Imposed a contract on
. the male holders of seat coupons prevent
ing them from forcing women to nrlse be
tween every two sets and crowding by
them that they may assuage thHr ,-loo-linllc
thirsts. Ehe surtrests thut the bibu
lous ones be compelled to purchase end
I seats, at a slightly Increased price, or re-
' fraln from Imposing discomfort upon those
' about them. ...
j Plainly, what Is sauce for the goose la
auce for the gander.
Official Bscort (or Lone Women.
The lawn of Palmer, Mass., has a sys
tem of police protection which makes It
an Ideal abiding place for spinsters and
other women who are without male pro
tector's. It has two constubles, one on duty days
and the other all night. It Is the wierlal
business of the latter to look after all
I unescorted women.
lie meets every trolley car that conies in
from Bprlngfleld after 9 p. m. and escorts
every unaccompanied woman In it to her
home. He meets trains from tho east and
West. If notified, and looks after the lone
women passengers, cheerfully . carrlng
, their grips as be accompanies them to
their houses.
1 And for all this he does not get a tip or"
! extra poy. He receives merely the grall
itude of the fair sex of Palmer and their
'miles. Such escort duty the town re
quires of him as high constable.
Kecently a young school teacher In the
' town wished to attend a wedding many
miles away, but her attendance meant thut
iehe would be obliged to return to Palmer
at 2 a. m. She was about to give up go
ing when a townswoman pointed out that
J all would be made easy by dropping a
' note to the policeman, asking him to meet
that 2 o'clock train.
That Is his only address at the postofflre
The Policeman. With some misgivings
she wrote tho note and at the appointed
time the policeman was waiting On the
railroad platform for her and escorted her
home as if it was tho most common oc
currence. In the world.
Women who go Into Springfield to attend
the theater and come home on tho last
trolley car never fall to drop a note to the
constable,, and he's always on hnnd to see
them safely to their homes. If there Is
more thsn one lie collects them all and
then drops them off one by one at their
residences.
Jewelry tbnt Women Make,
Women goldsmiths and Jewelers are
having considerable success both In Ku
rop and America. The ublcst of them are
regularly Instructed in schools) of design
and In the' shops of working Jewelers and
goldsmiths.
Much of their work Is In the semi
precious stones now popular, reports the
New York Sun. Thece owe their charm
to the tasteful fashion in which they are
mounted and arranged.
The women Jewelers have been especially
successful In designing chains, collars,
necklaces and the Uko In which semi
precious stones are mounted In gold of
pleasing decorative design. An eye for
color, a sure taste In matters of form and
deftness and manual skill are the nccs
ary equipment for this kind of work.
Some of tho women Jewelers aro skilled
In other departments of the trade. They
are apt at enamelling, an art to wh'ch
women have only of r'-cent years given at
tention. It takes a very short time for a clever
girl to learn the art of ennmclllng on cop
per, and many small copper vessel m
amelled within, and hatpins, watch fobs and
the like are made by women. A school In
Boston teaches copper enamelling to a
small clam of women annually, and within
tho year most of them acquire considerable
skill In the art.
Rings elaborately chased and set with
precious stones are made by women
Jewelers, though they do less of sucli work
than work In enamel and In seml-preclous
stones. Most of the work in precious stonea
Is still In the hunds of nieia, aud there are
few women diamond cutters.
The advantage that the women find In
this kind of work U that It may be done
at thetr own room a or wherever they cun
set up a vise, a small forge and crucibles.
Borne of the women Jewelers work for the
trade, and It Is a good deal easier for them
to obtain from the employing Jowelers work
In senil-preclous stones than In more ex
pensive Jewels.
A good deal of the work of the women
Jewelers Is done upon private orders, and
some of the most successful among them
o their reputation and trAdo to the quirt
advertising that they obtain from patrons
who have been pleased with their work.
The young woman who manages to attract
the Interest of a few rich women is pretty
well assured of profitable employment.
The fashion In Jewels is constantly chang
ing, and there Is a growing demand among
the WTealthy for specially designed Je.wels.
Many wealthy women are ea-dly Interests
In new materials and methods In Jewels,
and It Is to such patrons that some of the
women Jewelers look for employment.
Care of Artlflelal Hnlr.
All authorities of false hair seem to agree
that while a heavy swl.ch should be sham,
pooed regularly and thoroughly the little
curls and puffs so much worn at the pres
ent time do not need the same treatment.
Th dust can be easily t rushed out of these
small pieces and they do not come Into so
clcse contact with the natural hair as a
switch, which Is generally twisted In with
the wearer's own hair.
While there Is normally no oil In the arti
ficial hair, still It absorbs a certain amount
of oil from contact wfth the natural hair
and for this reason needs washing. This
should not be done frequently. In most
cases one shampoo In two months Is quite
sufficient to keep a heavy switch In good
condition.
The directions for washing fslse hair are
almost exactly the reverse of. those pre.
scribed for the shampooing of natural hair.
Th same soap may be used or whatever
shampoo mixture Is preferred, but this
should not be rubbed directly on the hair.
Instead the switch should be plunged
Into a bowl full of sospsuds. After being
thoroughly washed It must bo carefully
rinsed in many waters, some hair dressers
Insisting that eight rinsing waters are none
too many to insure, the thorough disap
pearance of the soap.
While natural hair should be dried in
the bright sunshine whenever possible,
this practice should b" carefully avoided
with artificial hair, rb strong sunlight
tnnds to fade It. The best method of dry
ing a switch is to hang it at night in an
open window In a strong breeze.
By morning It should be perfectly dry
and the breeze has a tendency to make it
llsht and fluffy. It may then be combed
with a coarse-toothed comb to remove the
tangles.
Snow Banks mn Cradles.
A Milwaukee rhyslclan, Er. John E.
Worden, has adopted strenuous treatment
to prepare his two little girls, Shirley and
Jnne. for the rigors of life.
So far he has succeeded well, for Good
Health suys that the children are two of
the firmest and healthiest bits of humanity,
to whom disease of all kinds is unknown.
Durlncr the cold weather these children
may be seen barefooted and bareheaded,
clad only In their cotton garments, thor.
oughly enjoying a. romp in tho snowdrifts,
and "without even a goose pimple on their
skin."
"We have brought the children up,"
snys Ir. Worden. "so that they are fearless
and dread neither the Ice cold plunge nor a
romp in the snow In their bare feet. The
door Is always open and they go out when
they like ond return when they are ready
to do so.
"We do not force the children to 'go out
In tho snow barefooted; they go out of
their own free will, and play until they aro
tired or their attention Is called to some
thing else. In the summer we send thorn
out into the sun bareheaded and bare
footed." Judicious exposure to cold has been found
to be one of the best methods of strength
ening weak infants and developing healthy
children. At a recent conference of moth
ers held In Minnesota they were ad
vised that a snow bank makes one of the
best cradles.
One mother who had tried this treatment
thought thut it accounted for the unusual
health and strength of the family.
Women Rivals for Office.
Three society women of Des Moines are
engaged In a spirited contest for the most
lucrative office In the gift of Polk county
tho county recordership which pays $3,5(0
a year, In addition to fee. The three can
didates are Mrs. Prank W. Dndson, who has
already held the office for three years and
who is a leader of the West Side society;
Miss A. M. Kstey. who is state prohibition
leader, and Mrs. Hannah Sharp, an old
social rival of Mrs. Dodson, who, after
falling to defeat her enemy for the nomina
tion, has launched herself as an Inde
pendent candidate.
. Mrs. Dodson was appointed county re
corder three years ago as 'a mark of re
spect for her deceased husband, Frank W.
Podson, a leading attorney, and at the ttme
of his death the probable nominee of the
party for district Judge. Republican poli
ticians got together and decided to pay
the political debt they owed to the dead.
Jurist by the selection of his widow for
the county recordership even then the most
profitable office In the gift of the party.
Since then Mrs. Dodson has been elected
for a second term. She is running on the
record she had made In office. A beautiful
woman, a decided brunette and with a
striking figure, Mrs. Dodson is making a
strenuous campaign.
"I can't help what these other women
want." she declared. "I am entitled to an
other term In office because that is the
usual precedent with the party In Polk
county. I was fairly elected and nomi
nated and thesa women are not entitled to
go back of the returns. Thwy attempted
to secure the nomination and I won and 2
believe that the primaries should rula. I
want to demonstrate that this office can be
conducted without graft and I believe I
have already made a fair start In that di
rection." "I am Just as fit to be county recorder
as Mrs. Dodson or any other woman," de
clared Mrs. Hannah Sharp, "and that Is
why I am running as an Independent. Mrs.
Dodson may be better looking than I am,
but that doesn't entitle her to the votes
of the men In this community. I believe
In rotation In office and a fair deal for
everyone. I will clean out the whole re
corder's office If I am elected, and I be
lieve I will be elected, too."
Mrs. Sharp is making a unique campaign.
She has evolved a campaign song and
sung It Into phonographs. Now she Is send
ing the records. to every village In the
county and grinding the song and a speech
out on the machine. She has been busy also
at corn husking bees and is making a quiet
campaign among women as well as men in 1
an effort to secure the Independent vote.
Then she Is trying the megaphone as an aid
to public speaking, because her voice will
not carry far enough. Every night she
speaks to hundreds of voters from the top
of a big band wagon and says she Is cer-
tain that she will be able to overcome the
normal republican majority.
Mrs. Sharp and Mrs. Dodson are old
social rivals, it is said, and Mrs. Sharp Is
making a personal campaign to settle an
old scors.
Mrs. A. M. Estey, the third woman can
didate, Is running on the prohibition ticket.
She was formerly president of the Iowa
Woman's Christian Temperance union and
has a large acquaintance over the county.
She is making a house-to-house campaign.
"I am fighting for a principle," suld she.
"The republican party is a party of rum
and wickedness. I believe tho administra
tion permits too many saloons and I will .
do my share toward stopping this once I '
am elected."
Dan Howard was a democratic' candidate
for recorder, but when he found himself op
posed by three formidable women candi
dates he quietly withdrew.
A Woman In Mechanics.
That a woman is capable of the develop
ment of mechanical skill equal to that of
any man Is fully exemplified in the case of
Mildred D. Peters of Rice Lake, Wis., a
young woman who by her own desire and
love for machinery and under the tutorship
of her husband has become a full fledged
machinist.
After three years of work In her hus
band's machine shop and foundry, known
as the Rice Lake Iron works, Mrs. Peters
has become so proficient that there Is now
no Job that comes into the shop that Is be
yond her skill. She can do anything from
"making a shrinking fit" or "key seating a
coupling" to manipulating the trip ham
mers and other massive machinery In the
shop.
She does not take a back seat for any of
the skilled machinists who work with her
in her husband's establishment.
Jobs that puzzle old timers In the busi
ness, and that usually take years to learn,
Mrs. Peters is not afraid to tackle. And
she accomplishes them with ease. She Is
particularly good in manufacturing, and
the castings that she spoils are very, very
few. That she Is truly a mechanical genius
there is no ciuestlon.
Iter knowledge of machinery Is not con
fined to the machine shop, for she goes Into
the foundry., which Is an adjunct to the
shop and there can cast or mold anythimr
In the line of machinery, even to the pour
ing of the sizzling hot metal herself.
She has even mode her own patterns for
Jobs from blue prints supplied by the
draftsman, but she dislikes the work at the
pattern bench on account of the dust from
the wood lathe. She often runs the band
saw and flics It and keeps It in order gen
erally. In molding, which Is regarded as requir
ing much expcil 'iirc and tkill to prevent
defects In the casting, she is perfect. She
turns out clean castings, which she pours
from the heavy, hot ladle very steadily, as
required in this class of work. If It be a
thin plate to be poured fast, something
that all molders look upon as difficult and
often with fear, never falls to get a perfect
casting.
In handling brass she mokes those cast
ings without difficulty and melts and pours
the metal herself.
But It Is In the machine shop that her
heart Is set, and the noise of the ponderous
and powerful machinery Is music to her
ears. It Is to her a happy diversion from
the hundrum and monotony of housework
and she enjoys it. Sire tukes as much pride
In turning out a perfect shafting or stt of
pulleys or some Intricate part of an engine
as any housekeeper would In making a
good cake or in doing a choico bit of em
broidery work.
Mrs. Peters can fire the boiler, keeping
up tho proper amount of steam and water,
ond can run the engine. And more than
that, she could put It all together again
were it to be taken apart for her, and
without any trouble.
A Lemon Instead.
"Do you know," a pretty bride of three
months said to a friend the other day, "I
think all these Jokes about young wives
having so much trouble with hutciiera and
grocers, and being cheated, and nl'i that, is
Just too foolish."
"Then I presume you are getting on all
right with yours, dear?" her friend In
quired. "Why, of course, I am! Anybody would
If they would Just deal at a reliable place,"
the young wife declared. "Now. there is
my grocer," she continued. "He Is Just as
obliging and thoughtful as can be. The
other day I ordered a dozen oranges, and
when tliey tame I found there were but
eleven In 1h bag, so when I wer.t to the
store again I told him so.
" 'Why, yes. ma'am,' he said, 'I know
thcro were. I had put In a doien, but I
noticed that one of them was spoiled, and,
of course, I wouldn't send you any but
the best goods, so I took it out.'
"Now, don't you think that was nice In
him to be so thoughtful and honest?" she
concluded.
When Mat is Dne.
The way in which one Oklahoma editor
announced that his mother was coming to
visit him may seem a trifle breezy, but It's
pretty safe to say that away down In her
heart "ma" was prouder than forty queens.
This Is the way he did It:
"The editor of the News-Republican Is
going to tog up a little this evening. Go
ing to change collars and put on a pair of
cuffs, If he can find any. Going to get
shaved and going to get our shoes shlrv'd
nnd the pegs cut out, so we can walk right
peartly.
"Ma's a-comln' down to see us. You
know who ma is. Ma Is our only ma, and
she's a good one, too one of the old Ohio
Quaker, sort, you know.
"Ma lives In Kingfisher. She was our
ma when we were born; she was our ma
out In western Kansas, when we hunted
prairie coal; she was Our ma wh?n we
drank parched corn coffee In old Okla
homa In '89, and she's our ma now; the's
the best ma we ever had.
"It you see us tomorrow walking down
the street with a little woman with a
smile on her face you'll know thf.t's ma.
If you never had a ma you should get one
and one like our ma. too."
The Golden Hatred 'cirl.
'TIs the air of you
And the hair of you.
With its wondrous goHcn sheen.
TIs the eyes of you
And surprise of you,
(And the lies of you, my queen!)
TIs the face of you
And the race of you
On which the lads are kern
But the heart of you
Is the part of you
That I love, Mavourneen!
Elsie King in the Reader.
Frills of Fashion.
Most fetching are the hair ornaments for
evening wear. One sees every kind of
wreath and rosette.
Embroidery on stockings grows better
liked all the while, especially when the
embroidery matches the stockings In color.
It Is sold that more coats In black and
white, tan and gray will bo worn than in
pinks and blues and colors, but us y.t
one sees a good many of these llght-oulored
coats.
Plenty of the neiw hats are made of felt
'flats," folded and draped Into shipe. And
toques are better than they've been tor
years even the turban shapes promising to
drift In along with them.
A glint of gold Is seen In most of the
new trimmings, though the metallic effects
of certain seasons Is not observable. 1 ho
combination of gay silk embroidery or rib
bon work quite overcomes this effect.
The striped velvets and veloutlna are very
beauUful. An exquisite material of fln.st
voile, with a three-quarter-inch wide stniM!
of velvet conies in several lovely shadts; a
violet verging on plum, a bronze gioen,
taupe, fawn and a rich blue are soma of
the best colors.
There Is a greut demand this winter for
soft silks to carry out the draped anj
folded effects, Marguerite, silk vol.e, satin
llninhed crepe, measaline with a small llg
ure, lovely bordered chiffons und gaus.a.
These all hang well in- tho artistic manner
required by present fashions.
Evening coats and wraps are nearly all
rmide with Hleeves. Thera Is no tremendous
variety about them. They arc neatly uli
thrco-quurter length, cither plaited or cut
circular, ho as to fall in ample folds, and
almost ulways have a handsome lace or
Tur collar or yoke,
The boas and neClr ruffs are of endless
variety. They are always becoming, und,
as far as can be foretold, there is no enj
to their future existence. They are mado
of every color and design of chiffon, net,
tulle, lace, moussellne and mallnes, but nxt
to the all-black the black and white are
most fashionable. Ono can now huv lengths
of plaited maliii(u) all reudv to bn'mounud
on rlhhors with streamers and tips. Tne
flat ostrich boa is verv smart and even
more becoming, especially In the light
colors and white. Marabout bona In dirk
colors have nwtrly the. appearance of fur
and are for street wear. They aro very
sntlnfactory as regards their wearing quali
ties. That About Women.

How Artists Use Lines in Pen and Ink
(Copyright, 19u6, by Herbert Kaufman.)
V" fl"TT TV EM OSili Im ai iV4..o
V. I Charles Duuh Oihson's picture
mini r iuu..jr,
lovers have been organized Into
a union; a walking delegate has
been appointed, a strike ordered, and the
lover of this beautiful girl Is caught rt a.
riitlcal moment and ordered to cease work.
A whimsical conceit of the artist's, sug
gestive of comic opera possibilities, and
rendered nil the more humorous by the
grave way In which the tale is told.
This Is no tenement house love story; the
scene Is laid In a spacious drawing room,
far larger thin those of the vast majority
of Fifth avenue houses, so spacious, indeed,
that the few pieces of monumental furni
ture seem almost lost In It; the heroine Is
the daughter of the house a glr! of glo
rious beaut;-, exquisitely dressed; the hero
Is a youth whose faultlessly fitting clothes
proclaim him a man of wealth. He is mak
ing a declaration of fervent love, to which
she Is listening with evident pleasure. Sud
denly there is an apparition; tho door opens
and the stern form of the walking dele,
gate is seen with uplifted hand checking
any further lovemaking. The Inflexible
gravity of his face, the heavy strength of
bis Jaw, explain why he was made walking
dulegata and why Be does not shrink from
the performance of a duty that would repel
a man with a heart.
The youth on Lis knees shrinks, almost
trembles, at the awful portent of the mes
sage. wracU the girl does not si all undor
s'.:id. Buch a tiling us a lovers' lubor
union Is beyond her comprehension, and the
Afcrsasloa u hr face la of sheer bewil
derment.
It is the fgure of this girl tbst gives the
picture Its charm. All else U acocsfory to
her. This lover at her feet is a mere foil
to her bi!ty; the artist has turmd away
his face In order that there may be,. nothing
In detract attention from the grace of the
tna!d. and has drawn him in an attitude
that accentuates the stiff angularity of the
masculine evening dress as a ronirast to
tho graceful curves of tho dfttnty figure
beside Mm. The walking' delegate's face
Is hard, coarse, unsympathetic, In order
still further to threw out liat of the girl.
The room Itself, with all Its spleidor, Is
designed as a frame for that lovely face.
The student will observe that it is all in
r.trolght lines, like the frame of a portrait,
relieved only by the curves of a couple of
chairs, planted one on ea;lk -'je of the
picture to balance each other. Thus does
the artist make use of his details to givi
force to the central object.
This drawing Is an excellent illustration
of clever grouping. The rtory is told by
the pair In the center, whose attitudes sre
reciprocal, while the Interrupter Is. as he
should be, outside ti e principal group and
at the extreme Ufthand side. The objrvt
of placing that Utile sfatNettc t.pon the
grand piano at the right Is to balance the
tlgiir: of the walking delegate, and it Is
derlgucd to typify strength, in order that it
may carry out this Ide.i by suiisesiion
rather than- by bulk, fur It is necessarily
small In size.
Tho drawing of the girl will repay closa
study. It looks us If the artist had sketched
It from a nude model, end then corefvlly
tlolLcd iu U'ncr are same cuariuin curves
about this body, those of the shoulder"
and arms being specially noteworthy
Those of the neck and bosom are scarccl
less pretty and those of the waist and hlpf
are very graceful. The foreshortening of
the leifs, especially of the left thigh. 1:
cleverly managed and could scarcely have
been done so well had not a nude model
nosed for it.
Gibson's outlines are always a lesson to
students; they are so firm, so clean, the
lines are so graceful. They look slniplo
and easy, but are in reality the result of
lonp and earnest study. Such lines as the
shoulders of this girl, for Instance, are
drawn and redrawn In pencil before their
exact position Is determined, and then they
nre drawn with the pen, firmly and clearly,
without any possibility of change.

For three months MILLER, STEWART & BEATON'S removal sale has bmi
the center of the local mercantile statre, and the public's interest has not waned

gained momentum us it progressed, and the wind-up finds every one on tiptoe of
expectancy. .
'There is still much to interest the prudent buyer, for while the stock is dimin
