That Santa Claus has added an "art de partment"' at hla North Pole headquarters, bealdea the vast storehouses of chimneys, Iron pots and toys, is shown by the pic tures and statuary on display In Omaha tores for the holiday season. Kven the calendars reflect the work of finished artists this year and are far uperlor .in every way to the art jroods of fered in years paat. Whole windows of pictures are shown and the manufacturers have new processes which make the coplea, elllnr at reasonable prices, fully as beau tiful aa the original drawings In either color, pen and Ink or waah. Among theae are a vast number of subjects. Including Indian heads, western acenea, heads and a large variety of subjecta. The famous W, U Taylor drawing from Longfellow are back on the market again in a new soft brown finish and are selling at reasonable prices. One of the subjects which has been a large seller is "A New Love." This is a child picture, and represents a sleepy little fellow resting on a pile of aofa cush ions. Drawn close to the sleeping child is a wide-awake t looking Teddy bear, where the doll has nestled with children since the toy babiea were first created. The doll in the picture rests alone on the cushions for the Teddy bear la the new love of children. Stataary Has Fro at Seat. Statuary la very popular. Perfect models of famous masterpieces are shown In many of the stores. It waa auch a collection of atatuea which, when assembled In a show window, nasaed resolution condemning the board of directors of the Trenton Industrial Art school for setting the fig leaf fashion. They object strenuously to spending their hard earned aavings for fig leaves. Apollo, Diana, the Greek alave, Discobolus, Vensus, Mercury and other big leaguers In the ex clusive model circles, declared that most of them made only a bare living and the weather was so nice, they had no use for the clothing and then the stores are steam heated, wlndowa and all, and the un-flg- leaved statutes do not suffer any more than stuffed animate on muffs. The Hercules .in one show window de clares that he will never wear a fig leaf. and when he heard that the keeper waa going to put woolen underwear on him, he aald he would break the contract first as he ' wore It once In the , factory and scratched Into the feather weight cla with Bob Fttssimmona.

"My young folks dipped Into 'reports of experimental stations' and got me very much Interested, and now they come bringing reports of the work in our own state that are equally of Interest," said Mra. Provldem. "A bulletin Issued by the state university, Home Economics in Ne braska.' shows who we are doing to start the rising generation In the way of knowing what they grow and eat foods for, beyond the general reason that has prevailed hitherto, that they were hungry and so they grew and ate the things which tasted best, if they could get them, and Just as much of them as they could stow away In that mysterious Internal economy of their bodies, which In a dim way they had been taught took charge of It and made it Into muscle and heat; but how It was done they had very ' little Idea or very little care until that same internal economy began to 'act up,' as the boys ex pressed It, when they generally went to the doctor, or mother, and ho or ahe poured In some nauseous stuff, which the said In ternal economy, rebelling against any more supplies evidently considered particularly revolting, but which they were taught would siraightep them out. Either it or the enforced abstinence from food and nature's constant effort to right wropgs generally brought the mysterious working force Into subjection again, and they went on as be fore with more or fess lapses until It gave out entirely and there was no more need of food. Btady at the t'nlvrHy. "Now the Industrial college of, our uni versity starts every girl who may so elect in a course clt study that mingles with r regular studies as heretofore thongnt necessary for the proper education of tho growing woman certain work that teaches her what should be done In home life and how and why. The first year, while they are studying languages, ancient and mod ern; rhetoric, history, physical training and chemistry, Apparently much as I used to do, they are also learning how to de sign and draft and sew garments of all kinds. They don't simply make a dress or a shirt waist, but they learn the princi ples of how to fit it to the figure, the art and . use in so doing, a study of the ma terial of which U Is made, the quality and value; 'application of the principles of art,' the syllabus says, and that means, so they tell me, an Idea of form, color and fitness for use. In color they study combinations and laws by designing and arranging themselves In special work designed for that purpose. A semester of this, my , daughter says a recent pupil there haa told her, makes them to some extent proficient In the art, the science and the practice of clothing themselves, so that they can use their knowledge and add to it later In life with comfort and pleasure, never feel ing ' helpless, in the face of 'nothing to wear.' "This overlaps the second semester on a study of foods, what are good and the principles of how to cook them and make them nutritive. The money value also comes In here, as In the sewing, so it' Is fair to suppose, they will know something of what it means to have bread and butter forthcoming every day and with the knowl edge an added degree of consideration for the parents who are providing It, Sewing' and goods mingle all that second semester Just as they do In the home. In the next they learn further of the scientific combina tions of foods, their preseryatlon, Invalid cookery and a study of dietaries, which means, so I am told, what the farmers call a 'balanced food ration.' It is well that they put Invalid cookery before study of dietaries, for if it is true that nine-tenths of our dls-eases a new view of the sub ject which strikes one as very well put. for there Is certainly lack of ease when we are sick are the result of wrong eating, then when they have studied the right kinds and quantities of food to eat there should be no Invalids and no Invalid cook ery as a consequence. But I forget. It Is one thing to know what people should eat and another to get them to eat It, so they probably will have to practice on them selves and prove their theories by practice a good while before they can make other people take them up and understand In valid cookery. "All this goes on for the full course of three or four yeara meanwhile, and during that time they study, and as far as possi ble practice, for this includes cookery and house practice, and they know something of ventilation, heating, lighting, water sup ply, domestlo service, study of house plans and house furnishings. A large field, the doubter would say, and only theory, but even a study of the theory of housekeeping and home making elevates it to a level with history and mathematics, 'readtn', 'rltin' and 'rtthmetlc,' and If undertaken in the proper spirit, gives the prospective homemaker a dtalre to do the right thing scientifically, artistically and practically: "And fur all this work the university has built a fine new building especially for this department of home economics, which also furnishes a comfortable home for young women while attending this school of agri culture. For the department of household economics has been -moved to the rtate farm grounda, one of the finest and siht lmt' places in the state, and this course given Is a sub-freshman course In the school of agriculture. This makes the study of the preparation of foods go right along with the study of the growing of foods, and a course of camp cookery is Included, designed especially for engineer-' ing students, and open to men and women. Additional Effort la atate. "In addition to the university work, In connection with the work of farmers' in stitutes, which Is under the charge of pro fessors connected with the School of Agri culture, a Nebraska Boys' Agricultural as sociation and a Nebraska Girls' Domestic Science association has been fo.med. This started from a corn growing and corn cook ing contest held In Lincoln several years ago. The various school districts are form ing branch cluba and the county school superintendents are taking an interest In forming them. Corn contests are held in the various districts and counties, the best contestants are entered for the atate con test . and so tha work is growing. To connect this work with the school bring In the Idea of instruction in the proper use and preparation of foods, in connec tion with the education which haa hitherto been deemed essential and the faint dawn of the most important education of all, how to live physically, as well aa mentally and morally and spiritually, la dawning. The most important, not because the body la tha most important, but because it must be wen in order that tha soul and mind may use It as the engine for their work. "Every . January the organisations of agriculture hold their annual meeting' In Lincoln, and then tha Nebraska Home Economics association also holds its an nual meeting. Then there Is a general symposium of those who grow and tboa. who prepare the foods that make possible the work of human beings. Likewise beings not human. -J Arc appreciated In deciding which Piano yu will buy, you should be guided simply by your musical requirements and your idea of true economy Our store is crowded with the highest grade, in all the latest styles and designs, especially attractive to Holiday buyers, and at prices so low that they will astonish the Piano world.
