For and About the Women Folks
A
" i ,v
Kept Their hrin Secret.
N ADMIRABLE example or
womanly modeoty has com to
Hunt in regard to three Boston
nurses, who, some time ago, dls-tlne-nlslied
themselves in a rail
road wreck in Franc, and thus, without
revealing their Identity, brought admira
tion and fame upon the devotion and sacri
fice of true American womanhood.
Mlia I-eura E. Coleman, sometime super
intendent of the Faulkner hospital. Jamaica
Plain; Miss Francea Munroe and Miss
Elizabeth Hoy la are the brave women who,
while traveling In France, were able to
render service in a railway accident when
other medical help was not available.
Near Fori their train was run Into by
an express. The four cars In the rear of
that occupied by the Uiree nurses wore
wrecked.
, Immediately the task of attending to the
uttering was undertaken by the nurses,
and, with a large list of casualties to care
for, and without any medical assistance,
thoy worked bravely until help arrived
from Paris.
After the affair the three nurses con
tinued on their Journey without revealing
their Identity, and It was only after the
repeated efforts of the French government,
through the American ambassador, that
the three women were located and the
gratitude of France expressed.
Servants Decorated.
A society for the suppression of the num
ber 23, composed of 201 al-peace-wlth-the-world
matrons, whose servants have stayed
with thera for two years or more and which
Is known as the German Housewives' so
ciety, assembled In Tuxedo hall, at Madison
.venue and Fifty-ninth street. New York
City, to seo their backstairs wonders have
srold badges pinned on them and to feed
them Ice cream, coffee and cakes. There
were thirty-six maids on the list to re
ceive the long-service badges, but three
didn't come because their mistresses were
SLfraid the girls would get their feet wet.
As a co-operative society for the dis
couragement of quitters, relates the New
York Sun, the German Housewives' society
eems to have Helicon Home of Engle
wood, N. J., soldered to the third rail.
There was Rcsa Hahn, who has been the
cook for Mrs. M. Weinberg of 25 West
Beventy-Blxth street for more than ten
years. Rosa got her gold badge in the
form of a bee, ate the luncheon provided,
faced the flashlight brigade and went back
to the Weinberg home of her own free will.
Also there was Lily Freund, superintend
ent of the culinary department belonging
to Dr. Willy Meyer, the Specialist, of "00
Madison avenue, and she went back quietly
to the Meyer home after she had received
tier badge to begin her ninth year of hon
orable service.
Emma Rahmlg. who has remained In the
employ of Dr. Helen Loweneteln for four
and a half years, even though the doctor
does live In Morrlstown, N. J., came over
to Manhattan to get her badge, but didn't
go back. Emma announced a few days ago
that she is going to be married. Dr. Low
ensteln Is unable to leave her room and so
was not present.
The thirty-three mistresses who decided
to lock the doors and accompany their
maids to the hall were a bit late in ar
riving. Cabs had to be telephoned for,
canopies stretched from street doors to the
cabs and carpets laid across the wet side
walks. All this took time. Besides a few
of the matrons couldn't And their cook's
goloshes right off the reel and there were
also delays In some houses caused by 'some
Indecision on the part of the mistresses as
to whether it would be wise to permit the
servants to go out in such weather.
But when the thirty-three had arrived
and each matron had found a wAlte and
gold wicker chair for her particular maid,
the matrons stood with firm grips on the
coat collars of their prizes while the vice
president, Mrs. von Briesen of 1 East
Forty-seventh street mounted the dais, gold
bees In hand. Along the sidelines was
about sixty feet of table filled with fancy
oakes and flowers.
The services were simple, so that no
cook would be at all fatigued. Mrs. von
Brlesen had a list of the time servers, and
as she reached each name the girl walked
proudly to the dais and got her gold bee
nd a few words of encouragement, the
tenor of which was: "For heaven's sake,
stick! Marriage Is a failure. A rolling
tone gathers no pretty moss. Look before
you leap. Nothing succeeds like a bird In
the hand."
Heiress Worklasr In Slams.
Heiress to millions. Miss Margerle Palmer
Of Colorado Springs, eldest daughter of
General William 8. Palmer, has renounced
the fashionable world and become a worker
among the poor of the London slums. She
has entered the training school of a big
London hospital, conoeallng her identity, it
Is said, that she might better , pursue her
chosen calling.
Miss Palmer Inherits her philanthropic In
stincts from her father, one of the pioneers
of Colorado. General Palmer always has
been Identified with the growth of the state
and amassed millions In its progress from
the territorial days. A large share of his
money always has gone to charity and. edu
cational work.
Genera Palmer was one of the founders
of Colorado Springs. It was his desire to
build a town where wLlsky and gambling
should be practically unknown. When the
town was laid out sah deed to lots con
tained a clause loitilduing the sale of al
coholic drinks.
Years Making- WedcMasj Gown.
Miss Ethel Anson Steel, daughter of Mrs.
William Stel of Creshelm. Mount Aire, Pa.,
was married recently in Grace church, Ger
man town, Ta., to Wheeler Haxzard Pe k
ham of New York and Paris. Years ago
when the bride was a little child her mother
decided she should be married in a complete
gown of Venetian lace of the "RaphicKV.
pettern, so named berause the great artist
loved to paint the lovely fabric on the
beautiful women In his portraits, and work
on the dress was begun at that time.
Nuns In Venice have almost a monopoly
In Its making. Its fine, delicate and Intri
cate design must be woven in a damp cel
lar. It takes months for one nun to make
a comparatively small piece, and a complete
gown costs a fortune. Queens of Europe
possess only small pieces of this gosamer
llke fubrlc, and It was only Mrs. Steel's
foresight which enabled her daughter to
possess this priceless dress. With this
gown the bride wore a necklace of sap
phires and diamonds, a gift of the bride
groom. Mrs. Theodore B. Ents.of St. Louis
was the matron of honor. Miss Sophie B.
Steel was maid of honor. The bridesmaids
were Miss Helen Huchner of Lancaster and
Miss Estells Steel, both cousins of the bride.
New Business for Girls.
The opening of a trade course In mil
linery at the New York Young Women's
Christian association draws attention to
the growth of a comparatively new pro
fession for women.
"Many of the girls who have Joined this
class have no intention of entering com
mercial fields." said Mrs. Gertrudo Reeves,
who has the new course In charge. "They
are studying to fit themselves for teachers
of millinery In the evening schools and
cluba.
"It Is a profession in which the demand
greatly exceeds the supply and In which
the demand Is constantly growing. Those
who hold high school certificates are quali
fied by this course to teach millinery
classes In the public night schools. .
"One hundred evenings are given to each
such class In the year, fifty before Christ
mas and fifty after. The teacher is paid $3
a night, so you see a girl can make quite
a nice little income by such work and will
have her days free.
"Those not having the high school cer
tificates can find all the employment they
wish In teaching classes In working girls'
clubs, where they are usually paid 2 for
the evening. There Is also a demand for
teachers to give private lessons In mil
linery, though few have the time to de
vote to such work as yet.
"We have always had a millinery class
suited to those who wish to make their own
hats as a matter of economy and in which
the pupils are also taught to sew and han
dle crepe, drape mourning and bridal veils
and make hats of raftla.
"The trade course is entirely different
from these afternoon classes. It is In
tended for those who wish to study every
department of the work thoroughly, in
order to qualify as teachers or to pre
side over the millinery workrooms. The
pupils are In a class two hours every
morning and have home work besides.
"Besides taking up everything pertaining
to making and covering frames of all de
scriptions we make a special study of the .
human face. Its lines and contours and the
shapes In headgear most becoming to each.
From studying a systematic series of draw
ings and pictures of the head the pupils
speedily grow very observant of the faces
around them and notice a thousand little
points they had never thought of before.
"The best gift for the successful mKiner Is
the power to observe correctly. The girl
who seeing a pretty hat can tell how to re
produce the effect she admires in It In other
materials has a talent which will almost
certainly assure her success In her pro
fession. "Broadly speaking, any woman can learn
to make a hat acceptably. I have had some
Join the afternoon classes with an Idea
that they might, perhaps, be able to mas
ter the art sufficiently to make some of
their own hats and who succeeded so ,
splendidly that they have afterward de
cided to put their knowledge to account
and have secured good positions in the
large millinery establishments. For those
who can make a really good hat, as well
as for teachers, there Is always a demand.
"Except In the-.rudlments. such as tying
Ykws and fastening on the various orna
ments after they are In place, the art of
trimming cannot be. taught. A girl may
be able to design and make a most betutU
ful hat and yet have no Idea of how to
place a single plume on It effectively. A
teacher of millinery does not have to have
talent as a trimmer, but she must, of
course, be able to show her pupils how to
manipulate the ribbons), flowers, etc.
"By making ribbon flowers for the hair
a woman can earn a nice little sum for
pin money, and this branch Is taken up
In all our millinery classes. We make
roses In winter, violets and daisies toward
spring. Some are In wreaths and sprays for
trimmings,
"The girls always consider this the most
delightful part of their business and n ne
of them has trouble In securing order for
these pretty ornaments among her friends.
One of my pupils made $15 In this way last
year In spare moments. Most of the girls
atso utilize" their knowledge of ribbon
flower making to fashion Christmas gifts
for their friends."
Artificial Rabies.
Artificial rubles, which are technically
called reconstructed rubles, began to ar
rive In the rough form in the Maiden Lane
district several days ago, says the New
York 8un, and yesterday the Board of Gen
eral Appraisers was anked to classify the
stnnns for rutonis purposes. The rr.uxh
rubies r.re to be polished by New York
lapidaries
The polished rubles of the reconstructed
type are classified with natural precious
stones, which are dutiable at 10 per cent
ad valorem The collector had decided
'tht the artificial rubies In the rouch come
uner the head of non-rnntm rat' d manu
facture dutiable at 20 per cent, and from"
this ruling the Importers appealed to the
Board of General Appraiser J
While the natural ruby Is the highest
priced of all gems, being In large sixes
worth ten times as much ss a diamond,
the artificial stones are made In the labora
tories of Parisian chemists In great num
bers at prices that are comparatively
trilling. The artificial stones command
higher prices, people in- the trade say, as
a result of the government placing them
In their cut and polished form In the same
class with the rare and costly natural
stones. Dealers with elastic consciences
sell the artificial product for high prices
as real rubies, with a semblance of the au
thority of the government to back the
claim.

To Clean Carvels.
The following method of cleaning carpets
appears In the Housekeeper for November.
It has been thorougly tested and was se
cured from a professional source: First,
have the carpet cleaned In the usual man
ner and tacked down on the floor where It
Is to remain permanently, and It Is ready
for the cleansing process. Take one and
a half pounds of the best white laundry
soap, one-half pound of white oak bark,
three-fourths pound of borax, one-fourth
pound of fuller's earth, one-half pint of
wood alcohol, one-half pint of ammonia,
one-half ounce of chloroform and four gal
lons of water. Tie up the bark In a piece
of thin material, and boil In two gallons
of water for four hours. Keep boiling
water at hand to replace that lost by evap
oration. Now remove the bag, add the
soap, shaved fine, the borax and the fuller's
earth, and let simmer until all are dis
solved; then add the other two gallons of
water, which should be boiling hot, and
when partly cool add the alcohol, ammonia
and chloroform. This quantity will clean
thirty yards of carpet.
To clean dip out a cupful of the prepara
tion, put it on ths carpet, spread it and
scrub with an ordinary bristle scrubbing
brush. The spot scrubbed will be covered
with lather, but the carpet will not be wet
through. When all the dirt has been re
moved scrape the lather up Into a heap
and take It up with a scraper which can be
had of any house furnishing store, or a
shingle with a smooth edge will answer
very well. When the lather has been re
moved go over the carpet with a sponge
wrung out of clean water and dry with a
cloth.
A Suggestion to Woman's Clubs.
"It may be gleaned from the resolutions
on moral education adopted by the Federa
tion of Women's Clubs," says the Portland
Oregonlan, "that some of their members
believe the .teaching of ethics in the pub
lic schools might be Improved. The ques
tion is open to debate. The effectiveness
of ethical Instruction can be properly
Judged only by its results. The crucial
inquiry is this: "Do the public schools
produce a reasonably moral state of mind
and conduct In their pupils?' The most
that we can fairly demand Is comparative
excellence. To ask for perfection Is sim
ply to display one's Ignorance of the con
ditions that limit all human activity.
"Some light on the question might per
haps be attained by comparing the
morals of citizens educated in the public
schools with those of the more favored
classes who attend private schools and
"afterwards enjoy the beneficlcnt Influences
of the colleges. Tills would amount to a
comparison between the morals of our so
called middle and lower classes and those
of the upper classes, or millionaire so
ciety. "Most of those Americans who belong
to the second generation of the wealthy
have been educated in private schools
with a course In college to finish. It Is
from among these men that the Individ
uals arise, who occupy themselves In grab
bing franchises, . bribing members of the
legislature vand making perjured tax re
turns to the assessor. They are also the
ones whose scandalous violations of the
marriage bond bring the nation into dis
grace. It Is they who formerly supported
'Town Topics' and who continue to sup
port publications even worse in character
though not so notorious. Their lives. In
too many cases, are a shameless riot, a
continuous orgy.
"Among the lower classes, on the other
hand, who 'are educated In the public
schools, we hear of no systematic and
persistent" attempts to rob their fellow
citizens. Their lives, though by no means
above reproach, are not an open and cry
ing scandal. Their reading, though often
foolish, Is seldom wicked. Upon the whole,
their morals compare very favorably with
those of the upper classes who have en
Joyed more select educational advantage.
Therefore one almost feels like advising
the Women's Clubs to direct their' Investi
gations toward the private schools and
colleges as a field where moral reform is
vastly more called for than In the public
schools."
Trunks Filled with Curios.
A collection of antique and modern Jew
els of much Interest Is on view in Provi
dence, R. I. It is n collection which came
into the hands of Whittler & Tanner
through the administrator, who Is a friend
of the Benlor member of the firm, and is
said to be one of the finest atsrc.atiotis
of antique and modern Jewelry ever
brought together in this country, the in
ventory rending like a tale of "The Arabian
Nights."
It was collected by a wealthy Boston
woman, who. for over half a century, de
voted hercclf to securing, not only the
rarest specimens of antique and modern
Jewelry extant, hut also rare silks and
textiles from the four corners of the earth.
autographs from famous authors and not
able men and women In fact, everything
that caught her fancy.
The administrators found trunks filled
with silk gowns of almost every period of
fashion; silk parasols, richly embroidered,
one In white silk with a peacock with
spread tall circling the cover; fans by the
hundred with -carved ivory, lace and Jew
eled gauze, exquisite lace handkerchiefs,
Chinese and Japanese porcelains and all
sorts of quaint and beautiful things.
There were thirty-nine teachests filled with
the Jewelry, while a large safe held tho
diamonds. When the cases were removed
from the Jewels in order to pack them
they filled a bathtub.
Many curious stories are told of this
woman, who died last summer, but her
name has not been divulged by those In
the secret. She had a taste for barbaric
splendor and delighted In curious devices
and mechanical toys made of all sorts of
stones. One of her fancies was for a set
of tiger's claws, which her agent procured
for her In India, and had mounted In
twenty-karat gold of exquisite workman
ship. This set of necklace, earrings and
brooch Is Included In the present exhibition.
A little English trunk was filled with
crosses, one of the most beautiful being a
pectoral cross set with diamonds and topazes.
Then there were hundreds of pairs of ear
rings from every land, some of Egyptian
design and some such as our grandmothers
wore huge circles and pendants set with
precious stones. One pair had pt:lanls of
exquisite pink topazes. In fact, et try

outside of museums.

One of the results of the prevalence of
princess models of every kind Is the inven.

A white crepe de chine lounging robe had
a Grecian border In gold, which came around

two to show as proof of his prowess, he is
exalted in the Juvenile mind to the pedestal
of a hero. ,
This is the subject of tho sketch by
Charles Dana Gibson which accompanies
The Bee today. A handsome, manly little
lad aits spellbound at the table which
separates him from an aged warrior with
an empty sleeve. The veteran is telling
the boy how he lost the arm-at Antletaiii,
the Wilderness, Gettysburg or Fredericks
burg, whichever It may be. The child's
interest pleases the veteran, who loves
nothing belter than to tell the story or his
campaigns, and especially of tho loss of
that arm. With splendid coinplaceucy and
pardonable pride he retells the hardships,
the kljughter. the desperate fighting, the
heroism, and the boy sees himself some
day buttling (or his country and bis flag,
and perhaps earning an empty sleeve also
as his badge of honor.
It is a study in contrasts, this picture of
Glhaun's. No artist knows better than he
what tine effects can be produced by plac
ing la Juxtaposition extreme youth and ex
treme age, aud ao one knows better than
he how to emphaelsse the qualities that are
characteristic of the one and the other.
The ruggedness of age and the tenderness
of youth are here drawn with the rklll of
Gibson's master hand, and the way In
which the effect Is produced should ic
celve careful attention from the student.
It is a matter of technique, about which
volumes could be written without helping
young artists to attain It, for practice la
the only thing that will be reUly helpful.
Practice from the living model will pro
duce better results than endless copying of
pictures. It was thus that Gibson himself
climbed to the top of the ladder of fame.
As he sketched living men and women
and children he formed his own technique,
learned all the little tricks of touch tbst
are individual, aad became the master that
he is. If an old mat) did not actually poso
for this one-urnied veteran it was only be
cause the artist had drawn so many old
men from life that his mind was stored
with (act s, which he could reproduced (roni
memory, or whoso features lie could com
bine in an ideal head. If the coat witli Its
empty sleeve was not drawn from a model
it was only because Gibson had been copy
ing real coats so long that his memory
was stored with their folds. iThe same is
true of the boy and his sailor rult, (or
which Gibson bad many models that his
mind could turn back to and use all over
again.
It is Interesting to study the successive
steps by which a picture llki this Is drawn
and the proces should prove Instructive
to the student. The picture was drawn In
pencil, first in rough outline, then In mora
detail. Ths faces and hands wer worked
over until their forms satisfied ths artist,
who then took his pen, a heavy, stront
one, and drew ths outlines of the man's
facie over the pencil lines. They art
broken outlines, formed of heavy angular
lines, and they melt Into the shading In a
way that shows the whole faoe was drawn
at one time; the outline of the nose was
followed by the shadows and wrinkles upon
It, and so on, for it will be observed there
Is scarcely any actual outline In this faoe.
The lines were drawn with extreme ra
pidity, as Is evident from tho two Inter
lacing xlgzags that form ths hollow of the
left cheek.
The face finished, the heaviest and black
est lines forming the creases of the coat
were drawn, the artist laying on hard with
a big pen filled with Ink still working rap
idly. Then the coat was covered swiftly
with the lines that give It color and tex
ture. 'The hand was probably drnwn lnt,
but had been studied out carefully In pencil,
for that suggestive position of the fingers
holding, the empty sleeve Is no accident.
The outline of the boy's face was then
drawn and the hair followed. The f.ice
was shaded with a fine pen. and the sailor
coat was finished up with the same ra
pidity which marked all the drawing.
The student who tries to copy a picture
of this sort should do It several times,
never attempting to reproduce it line fur
line, but in his own way to attain tho same
effect. If he desires to be an artist he
should follow in ths steps of the uaalsra
and skeiUi front life. 1
