the latter she is pestered by
"unskilled Interference." At
least that Is the conclusion reached by
Mia Elizabeth McCrackcn, who elves her
views on the subject in the Outlook,
after interviewing a large number of fac
tory girls and domestic servants.
"I gave It up," one girl who had done
general housework told Miss UcCracken,
"because I got tired of being bossod by
people who didn't know how to do the
Job themselves."
'The foreman or forewoman tells us '
what to do," said one factory girl, "but
thfcy know."
Many of the girls who had tried do
viestlo service admitted that they bad en
countered employers who had some knowlr
edge of domestic science and art. "They
knew about it In a way." one qualified.
"But you see they all knew it 'lifreiit,
and I knew It dlfrent, too. In the fac
tory everybody know the Job the same. '
Asked whether she would prefer house
hold service 4o factory work if ah could
do the housework the way she kirew it. she
said promptly, "Yes, but J nover saw a
woman as would let me."
One woman to whom, this story was re
peated, a woman who had been a house
keeper for many years snd employed
servants, said, stiffly, that that rflrl ex
pected too much. "Servants are paid to
do as they are told in our houses," sh
observed. -
But are they? Or, if they are, should

Kves Your Child from Fear.
"People of varloua sects ami beliefs sre
beginning of late to say that fear is the
devil. No matter how trite the saying may
beeonie as mortals wake up to it, it will
never cease to be true; and how that devil
robs the children! From the moment of
the average child's firvt fall, when the
mother crk-s out and Ticks him up wltu
such manner and words that he screams
wltt) terror, the instilling ot fear goes on.
The average child begins by being care
free, but the average loving mother un
dermines that confidence with the most
earnest Industry. The forbidden fruit of the
tree of knowledge Is forced upon the child
until his naturally erect, fearless mental
carriage gradually becomes distorted, and
he stoops and bows to the inevitable." So
writes Clara Louisa Burnham in the April
AppU-ton's.
' "A pitiful fate is that of ths child left
by bis busy mother to the care of an un
wise aurse. The nurse may be, kind and
loving, conscientious concerning the little
one's physical welfare, and yet consider
that robber of the children's rights her
legitimate assistant in saving bar time and
trouble. The mysterious and unseen bogle
man and the obvious and substantial police
man are alike her allies In enforcing a
paralysed obedience; and all her discipline
revolve around some form of "drd; soma
fear held before the charge whom she
often loves devotedly.
"When a mother kneels before her child
snd asks anxiously: 'Are you sure you
feel all right, dear? Haven't you a pain
anywhere? Swallow and see If it hurts
you. Tour cheeks look so rod!' the little
one, although at first considerably bored
at being disturbed so Irrelevantly at his
Oluy, usually becomes forced to introspec
tion snd often ends by fretful repose In the
arms of the poor mother while her fear
quickly grows from a rill to a torrent
whose turbulence can only be stilled by
the kindly pooh-poohing of the family phy
sician. No one knows so well as he the
grain of truth in the comic paper story
that shows the young mother in the middle
of the night begging her husband to hurry
and get the doctor, for baby is 'breathing
so evenly!'
"To allow fear-rtdden conversation to
take place in the presence of children
talk concerning sickness or disaster, is
another molding Influence, robbing them
of their gladness, teaching them fearful
resignation to Inimical, Irresistible powers.
Even though they show no evidence of tt
at the time, it is sinking into the furious,
eager thought and must bear fruit."
British WoaicaSufe BIsT Feet.
"The women of England as a rule have
larger feet than their sisters In the I'nited
States, ao I happen to know through a
long experience in building shoes for both,"
aald Mr. J. Donaldson of London, quoted
by the Baltimore American.
"I have taken orders for custom-made
shoes among the feminine upper ten on
both sidna of the Atlantic so many years
that I know the subject pretty well, and
1 am guilty of nq want of patriotism In
saying that the bulk of the women folk
of my country wear "s and Ta, whereas
the prevailing sixes in America are 4's
snd 6 s. I rather think there are more
Ameii'.-an women who take No. . i shuts
than there are English women using I's.
"Why are the women of Great Britain
bloased with larger pedal extremities than
those of the States? I think it is solely
due to the fact that they do .vastly more
walking in the old country. The gentle
sex in England is greatly devoted to pe
destrian exercise, and an English woman
will walk more In a day than one will
In a week in this country. The splendid
benefits of the exercise are seen in the
rosy cheeks and robust figures of our
females, and they very sensibly prefer
strong constitutions to the small vanity
of little ft."
Jteadwrar of Peruvian Wonaea.
One of the correapondenta with the battle
fleet, describing the sights at Callao and
Lima, Peru, .says: As the visitors went
about, one chunge, national in character.
Impressed itself upon them immediately.
Every writer on Peru baa commented on
the fact that the headdress of the women,
worn universally, is the black manta. It
ta said it is a relic that has come down
from the Incaa when they put on mourn
ing for their great chief Atahualpa. Rich
and poor have worn that headdress dn the
street for centuries.. It was an established
institution.
Well, it is going. About one-half of the
women, some of them In good circum
stances, evidently, wore manias on the
streets, but as for ths rest well, a man
has no business to write about women's
hats. All that this man can say is that
he never saw inure daxzllpg specimens of
flower gardens than those bobbing around
over the graceful drapery wtth which the
Peruvian women adorn themselvee.
Thue does fashion war successfully upon
established custom. The Peruvian woman
loves a beautiful hat Just as much as any
other wonian on earth. Moreover, what
is said about her surpassing beauty is
true. Given great beauty and the love
of a hat on the part of a woman what
chance has a black manta got? The manta
has got to go and is suing.

Borne of the smartest hats will be com

Coquettish round turbans will be some

extent and the new sailor shapes are
destined for popularity as the aeason ad

Most of the silk and linen costumes are
made, after the one-piece model of appar

one or another of the smart coals so
popularly adaptable to these materials.

The redlngote and the rounded cutaway
are both developed in linen. They are trim
med with lace bands, with bands of con
trasting color, machine-stitched, or with
bands of heavy lace self-dyed or In natural
color. The medallions are not particularly
good, except when necessary to complete
the pattern.
The rule for plain, smooth-fitting effects
around the hips that has governed tha win
ter materials, holds good for the lighter
weight spring and summer fabrics, no mat
ter how much tucking or oilier elaboration
there may be. Also the same long lines
with the gradual flare and the same con
tinuity of the ensemble are required now
as has been.
Tailored hats are the smartest so far,
because they are not at all blaarre. Some
of them are even dressy. A Panama, with
a rattier wide upturned brim, dented In in
two or three places, has a wide, soft fold
of silk wound around the crush crown, and
lace rosettes, one under the brim and the
other at the right side on the top. Tills

coiffure is parted in the center and rolled
at ths sides.
Scarfs of silk, tulle, lace, and not all
serve effectively and In moat unexpected
waya. They are drawn through a series of
made buckles In bretelle designs, are used
as girdles, tunics, fichus, and countless
ways. Aa girdles, they are drawn to the
shape of the figure, ratiKht up at one side
In a knot, with ends reaching nearly or
quite to the hem ot the gown; or they are
wound twice around "d drawn through
a long tilde, wh cb is the more grace ul.
The new modes are nothing if not de

Mrs. John Fowler Train, in an address
to the West-end women's republican asso

women needed to cultivate conscience.
"You have good, everyday consciences,"
sha said: "you would not tell a lie; but
when you see some article advertised for
seven cents that you think la worth 15
centa, you ruah down and buy It, even
though you know the store Is one that
doesn't pay its employes living wages.
Ton buy it, with no thought of the flesh
and blood that pays that difference In
price. You do the thing that ia ethically
wrong, because It suits your convenience."
It la considerable to be the "first lady
In the land." but It is vastly more to be
that In truth In the hearts of the peo
ple. And that Is what Mme. Porfirlo

been for years. All Mexico lovingly calls
her "Carmellta." She Is still young,

country. It is a little wider than the or
dinary band and Is beautifully carved In
Oriental design. Between the chased work
are Inserted Japanese characters that read:
"My bloved is mine and I am his." This
is the favorite sentiment for the Oriental
wedding. This sentiment Is repeated sev
