Former Nebraska Girl
Popular in Oklahoma
lTJTHKIE, Okl., June IK. Although
f I still a mere slip of a girl in ap
i I iM-uranco, Mikb Kate IJarnard of
rf Oklahoma City, tho only woman
Bfhce In Oklahoma, tiaa shown the stand'
Ing which ahe has among; tho voters o the
Hew state by receiving the democratic nom
ination for the first state commissioner of
tharltlcs and corrections without opposition.
Il Is quite possible also that her election
may be as great a triumph as her nomina
tion, as there Is a strong movement among
the republicans to bring out no candidate
In opposition to her, but to make her elec
tion unanimous. In recognition of the work
he has done for the children and 'the
CrlendleRS ones of the new state.
Mis Barnard Is a native of Nebraska,
fellowmen. On her return to Oklahoma
City she organized the Hellef and Em
ployment association among the society
young women of Oklahoma City. Later
her work was given official recognition by
both the Chamber of Commerce and the
Ministerial association of that city, and she
was placed at tho head of the Oklahoma
City I'rovtdent association, a position which
she still holds.
After the passage of the statehood bill
Inst year, the question of the provisions
which should be Included In the constitu
tion of the state for the protection of the
children and other unfortunates of the state
became an absorbing problem with her, and
she went east to study the problem of
child labor at first hand. Both In St. Louis
and Chicago she obtained commissions ss

having been born and reared In Lancaster
county, but has lived In Oklahoma for fif
teen years, all of that time at Oklahoma
City, and was educated at Bt. Joseph's
academy there. She was employed In cler
ical capacities In the last two sessions of
the Oklahoma legislature, and' out of 491 ap
plications she received the appointment
under Governor Ferguson to represent
Oklahoma at the St. Louis exposition. Dur
Ing her stay at St. Louis she demonstrated
her versatility by doing work not alone
In the Oklahoma section, but In al
most every department of the exposi
tion. It was during her stay there arid as a
result of her contact with the various
classes to be found In a place of the sort
that she became Interested In sociological
Studies and was filled with the desire to
devote her life to the betterment of her
deputy factory Inspector, which enabled
her to make a direct study of the condi
tions In which she was Interested. Com
ing back to Oklahoma when the constitu
tion convention was In session, she went
before it and made a remarkably forceful
and effective plea for the two things for
which she was laboring, the enactment of
provisions for compulsory education and the
prevention of child labor. '
Miss Barnard's argument had Its de
sired effect and the provisions which she
advocated were made a part of the state's
organic law. 6he practices thoroughly what
she preaches; she has literally converted
her own home Into a home for the poor and
needy for two years past. Having always
had to make her own way In the world.
and being familiar with adversity, she Is
especially well equipped to minister with
sympathy to the needs of the needy.
Handy Family Men Lacking
wn'n to - m a . ... .
Ill
VT IS at this season of tha u that
the housekeeper learns, to her sor
row, that what her education
lacks more than anything else Is
a knowledge of hn tn mt nr.
pictures, to repair spigots and gas fixtures
and to do those other little Jobs which are
always needed about a house.
She discovers this In much bitterness of
spirit when she has asked her husband to
put up a shelf for her and has been told
by that gentleman that he really hasn't
time and she had better send for a profes
sional to do the work.
She next calls upon the services of hor
brother, who good-naturedly takes a ham
mer and some nails and In a few short
moments had hammered up tho shelf ex
actly where the woman did not want It. N
She determines to make the best of things,
however, places a favorite bit of china on
It to view the effect, steps off a few paces
to get the perspective, and down comes
shelf, china and all.
The woman weeps and calls in her eldest
son. He works painstakingly under her
direction, and after two hours of exhauat
Jng labor they discover at the same time
that one end of the shelf Is lower than the
other and that It has a top-heavy, waver
ing effect, very grievous to the eye.
Then It Is that the woman sends for a
carpenter, has him put up the shelf; sends
for a plumbar and has him put on a few
washers; sends for the gas fixture man
and has him put In a screw with a good
thread on It In place of a broken one on a
Chandelier; sends for a decorator and has
him put up a few pictures which she
wished hung.
When all la over she pays the bills and
decides again that what all women should
have la enough manual training to enable
them to do the things which no man. how
ever capable in other ways, seeraa able to
perform.
Two women talking the other day agreed
that the men of the day were less than no
use In the parlous times of housecleantng
ana lurnisnlng.
"I thought It was the birthright of every
masculine to be able to drive a nail In
a wall, straight and firm, and so stable that
It could hold anything, but It Isn't," said
one. "My husband can't do anything useful
or mat sort. He Is strictly ornamental.
I have to call In an expert for the smallest
detail of repairing. I am determined to
have a man in the family some of these
days, however, who can use his hands,
and I am sending my son to the Polytechnic
so that he will be trained In that way."
The othere woman mused. "I am think
ing." she said. Anally, "of buying a car
penter's kit, putting it on my shoulder and
going from house to house asking for odd
Jobs to do. I am right clever at small re
pairs, putting arms on sofas, caning chairs,
putting up shelves and pictures and so on.
and 1 believe I could make a very good
Income at that sort of thing.
"Tou could make more then a million
dollars a year," answered her friend. "Come
to our house first and I will keep you
busy for at least three days with trifling
things for which I do not wish to call In
a specialist, but which a workman of
the kind you describe could put tight In
snort order."

Shipshape Neatness the Desirable Thing in Fashionable Bathing Suita
HE
P EVER the sea and the sun make
acquaintance sufficiently intimate
to warrant lovers of sea bathing
In venturing- again upon a plung-e
there will be more enthusiasm
concerning bathing suits than has been
shown In the early season.
"Nothing doing," said a dejected sales
woman mournfully when Inquiries were
made concerning the latest things In bath
Ing suits at a shop noted for Its compre
hensive supply of such garments.
But though she reported scanty sales she
showed models which should tempt woman
kind to buying. The smart bathing suit of
today Is a far cry from the ugly and shape
less suit once worn by women bathers, and
still occasionally seen upon women superior
to consideration of appearance! j
The old-time flannel suit may have been
better for the health than Its modern sub
stitutes, may have warded oft chill and
aided circulation, but It made a slinking,
clinging, unbecoming costume, and the or
dinary woman would rather chill her blood
than her vanity.
Fine mohair and silk are the favorite
bathing suit materials today and of the
two mohair Is tha more practical and less
expensive. White silk a good quality of
tafTeta makes a pretty suit, sheds water
well and gives better service than one
would imagine.
There la nothing absolutely new In design
within the province of the bathing suit,
though occasional bretelle or drooping
shoulder effects are seen. Various princess
models, shaped to the waist by tucks or
shaped girdles, or made with a full length
front panel and belted sides and back, have
been tried, but none of them is really so
satisfactory as the model with slightly full
blouse and skirt joined by a belt or but
toning together, the buttons being covered
by a belt or girdle.
Shipshape neatness Is the desirable thing
Insofar as that quality Is possible In bath
ing attlre-and one must see oarefully to
It that blouse and skirt do not pull apart;
that belt stays In place; that the stockings
are drawn up smoothly; that. In fact, all
parts of the costume are firmly anchored
and will stay In place.
The sailor collar of contrasting color Is
becoming and pretty for a bathing blouse,
but It does get tumbled and untidy, and a
snug flat neck finish, round, square or V
shaped. Is preferable.
Black and dark blue are always the favor
ite colors, though more spectacular effects
are always brought out for those who want
them. Boms very pretty suits in black and
white, blue and white, and brown and white
checks are shown this yearchiefly in the
silk suits, though one sees similar effects
In mohair as well.
These checked materials are trimmed in
bands of plain color, and like all becoming
bathing costumes, have usually a finish of
white at the aeck. There are, too, plain
one-tone suits trimmed attractively tn
checked taffeta after the fashion Indicated
In one of the sketches.
Braid of one kind or another Is, of course,
the generally accepted trimming, but em
broidery is sometimes used, and rather In
tricate soutache embroidery has a place
upon some of the more elaborate suits. A
heavy linen, embroidered in Breton em
suit of white mohair trimmed In bands of
broidery of reds and blues, U an Imported
model shown In ons shop, but only the
greatest care could keep such a costume
looking fresh and pretty, and a more prac
tical suit Is a wiser choice for the woman
who really loves sea hathiog.
Brown bathing suits are shown in con
siderable numbers, a concession to the pre
vailing popularity of the bright light
browns, and some cs? the models in light,
clear brown, with 'white trimnUngs, are
very pretty, though not so universally
