"Chops of the future will com

in me New York Teachers' college. "We

the air like the little thing that brings
your change n the store, and when you

Tou laugh, and yet you are advanced

nothing funny In such an Invention In a
tore, but It provokea your mirth to think
of It utilised In the home. If any mine,
factory or store were run with the loss of
time, strength and labor found in the noma
It would go out of business."
Mra. Richards then traced vary Interest
ingly the course of events whloh has trans
ferred tha work cf women to the fac
tory. '
"Tha result of taking Industries out of
tha home," she said, "Is that nothing has
been left but the drudgery, the dirty,
heavy, unskilled labor; the washing of pots
and kettles, the scrubbing of floors. Any
woman would feel pride In a beautiful web
of linen, spun and woven by her own
hands. It Is a finished, created thing; a
thing to show one's friends; a thing to
last for years, and always will be a re
minder of her skill and Industry. On the
other hind, nobody can fuel pride In wash
ing a lot of dishes, which are going to be
dirtied apaln at the next meal; In scrub
bing a floor which will be tracked up In
five minutes Inter; In cooking a meal which
half an hour later will be gone. The only
work left to woman In tha houira is this
sort of work which is never done, which
Is perpetually recurring. In which she never
has the feeling of anything permanent ac
complished. It Is peculiar, the effect this
kitchen work has on Intelligent, trained
women colleg graduates, perhaps, or
women who had done competent work In
the business world. I have known such
women to begin housekeeping full of pride
and seal. One year later they shut tha
kitchen door as tightly as possible and
shunned all dlsoustdon of Its problems. The
things seemed horrible to them. They kept
It out of their thoughts as much as pos
sible. "Now, this condition Is steadily growing

It Is the window, open for ventilation,
which admits the dust and coal smuts
which create eternal cleaning. There will
be apparatus which will wash and sift
every particle of air admitted to the house,

air will be either warmed or cooled to tha

Tnur Olrl suffragette.
Miss Ines Mllholland of London. Eng
land, now a senior in Vaeuar college, ap
peared at a meeting In Columbus insti
tute In roughkeepsle Sunday afternoon
and vigorously defended the methods of
tha suffragettes In England, with whom
she was arrested two years ago for ob
structing a meeting, but allowed to de
part In order to be In time to take up
her studies at Vasear.
"There are two camps of women favor
ing suffrage In England," said tha young
student. "One Is composed of euf
fragises, the other of suffragettes. The
first have been for sixty years 'acting
real ladylike. Just asking for women's
rights, the latter demanded and propose
to get those rights.
"They complain of the vtolenoe of tha
suffragettes In England," went on Miss
Mllholland. "But even men have never
won much for freedom, or from govern
ment, without fighting for it. They
have used the boycott, the gun, the sword,
violence of all kinds. If we borrow
man's methods, and use them. It Is be
cause the men refuse to do us Justice.
A member of Parliament once said to
me, 'Tou women have a good cause and
you are going about It In a ladylike way;
but you can never win unless you throw
a bomb or two.'
''Well, that Is Just what the men have
done when suffering under Injustice.
Why is It so terrible If women adopt th
methods by which men have attained
liberty, .when all other methods fall so
utterly to achieve It? The women of
England have simply announced that no
government, liberal or tory, shall be per
mitted to proceed until women shall re
ceive the ballot.
"We English women believe In going
Into politics because wa know we shall
elevate politics when we begin to vote,
as wa elevated literature when wa be
gan to writ, the stage when we began
to act, the church when we began to
take part In Its work. Bo long as tha
Injustice' of one class ruling another Is
kept up, so long will tha suffragettes
keep up the fight, even If we have to do
soma very unladylike things In order to
win. Ridicule us and we smile, put us
In Jail and we are received with demon
strations when we come out. a fine ad
vertisement of our causa all along the
Una."
Miss Mllholland Is the leading actress
In the hall plays at Vassar. It was she
who led a party of young women Into
a cemetery near the college grounds to
ihold a suffrage meeting last June.
When she Is graduated next June aha
expects to return to England and throw
herself into the fight
Mra. Roosevelt.
The press has had little to say about the
woman who left the White House to re
turn to her home on Long Island, says the
Charleston News and Courier, and we can
think of nothing that would create a
stronger presumption than this silence that
she is a good and gracious woman.
In this American democracy there ts no
reason for the wife of the president to
Illustrate other characteristics than those
which any modest gentlewoman should
have, but there Is a constantly Increasing
snobbishness In the land that would make
of her a public character. Only a woman
of tact and good sense In the White House
can save herself from being continuously
advertised, and It is easy to Imagine that
the wife of the retiring president has had
no easy task In avoiding officious persons
who would have dragged her constantly be
fore the public In one way or another.
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt has been the most
spectacular of all presidents; waking and
sleeping (a full page picture in an Illustra
ted weekly of the president sleeping will be
recalled) Mr. Roosevelt's every sound and
motion have been repeated or displayed and
several of the members of his family have
shared the publicity to which he has been
exposed; but tha American public has heard
no more of Mrs. Theodora Roosevelt than
It hears of any woman content with the
privacy of an American household. We
may with safety go further and say that
In keeping herself In the background ths
wife of tha president has succeeded to a
degree that betokens her possession of ex
traordinary refinement and common sense.
Whatever may be said for or against tha
administration of Mr. Roosevelt, Mrs.
Roosevelt's administration of the White
House affairs has been Ideally correct, and
the proof of It Is that tha gaping crowd
knows little more about her now than It
knew before her husband became president
of tha United States.
This woman has set a very valuable ex
ample; her life In the White House recalls
to the American people their traditionally
wholesome view of what a wife and mother
should be, and so she carries with her to
good wishes of everybody.
True to Her Ideal.
Miss Mabel Boardman society woman
and philanthropist, ts said to be one of the
hardest workers In the government offices,
her efforts In behalf of the American Na
tional Red Cross society taking up a great
part of her time. The humblest clerk Is
not more punctual than Miss Boardman,
who Is st her desk In the War department
at I o'clock every morning. She wears a
trim office dress and works alt morning,
walking from her home to the office and
returning at lunch time. Bha often' works
In the afternoon and she does this six days
In the week and nine months In the year.
She receives no salary for her work as
secretary of the organisation, but she
works harder than most others connected
with the work.
Gardenias; a Beast y Aid.
Gardening, the real kind, that Is done out
of doors. Is the newest beauty cult. Many
physicians say It Is the best thing In the
world for woman's loveliness. Women who
have adopted gardening as a pastime soon
find It lends grace td tha figure. Is bene
ficial to the health and of necessity Im
proves the complexion. Besides this, the
freedom of short skirts appeals to them,
and they delight In gardening In the same
way that nice, clean, well-bivught-up
children revel In mud pies. Gardening, to
those of their grandmothers who Indulged
In It In their delicate muslin gowns, meant
tha dilettante crossing of a rose or the ty
ing up of a few rebellious flowers that
trailed their blooms on the pathway. But
the present race of women mean something
much more strenuous by the same torm.
They dig and weed, or do something else
that Is necessary In the garden, scorning
to call In the assistance of a man for any
part of the work.
"More women are Interested In garden
ing than ever before,' said a seed mer
chant recently. "Thousands of them around
New Tork are Impatient for the planting
season to begin. Not a few of the old
fashioned blooms still are favorites. A
popular border for a small garden Is the
hardy little blue lobelia, which Is pictur
esque In effect mixed with white alysaum.
Tha sweet pea probably Is the most popular
flower grown In the open. There are many
varieties. MInonette seed, too, has a great
sale; so has. cornflower. Roses are culti
vated, generally In the suburbs, as they
are little trouble to grow. Various kinds
of snapdragon are loved by gardeners;
hyacinth flowered candytuft and the sum
mer chrysanthemum also are extremely
popular, while love-in-a-mist Is a charm
ing flower that never goes out of favor."
Revival of Old Silverware.
Tha old family silver, which a few years
ago was banished from the dinner table.
Is now resuming Its honored plsce. The
teapot and candlestick, the epergens and
compotlers, and even the soup tureen,
have been taken from tha plate chest, bur
nished up and placed upon the buffet 80,
In the modern New Tork hotel, the costly
old silver and their equally valuable mod
ern replica are to be had as "a matter of
course." At the Knickerbocker chickens
are served In casseroles of solid silver and
fruit In baskets of silver wlckerwork. The
ordinary cutlery used at Sherry's, the
Knickerbocker, the Astnr. the i'lasa and
the Waldorf Is the same for the private
dinner room as the restaurant, but for
special occasions the gold service Is
brought Into requisition and the price of
the dinner Increases accordingly. The St.
Regis has gold enough to serve thirty-six
persons, the Knickerbocker hag a gold ser
vice for sixty persons knives, forks, but
ter spreads, etc. valued at $10,000. The
Belmont has a complete gold service for
100 persons, which Is used for all private
dinners which cost flj or upward for each
person. Three or four such dinners are
held nearly every evening at the Belmont
during the season, but the gold Bet li large
enough to accommodate all.
Woraaa as a Wireless Chief.
Anna A. Nevlns, 22 years old, has taken
active charge of the station of the United
Wireless Telegraph company on the roof
of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. New Tork.
She holds the distinction of being the only
woman wireless operator in the world, and
she Is believed to be one of the most skill
ful In. the service of the company by which
she Is employed.
The young woman will be on duty regu
larly every day for eight hours. She has
been detailed to the busiest period of tho
day, and at present her chief work will be
to keep In touch with vessels plying be
tween this port and southern points. Many
wireless messages are sent out by passen
gers on these vessels, the majority of whom
are bound south for the Florida season or
else to Cuba or other parts of the West
Indies.
Miss Nevlns, it was told, flashes mes
sages through the air to her sweetheart,
who Is the wireless operator aboard the
steamship Oceana of the Hamburg-American
line. She has picked up the Oceana
at 1,000 miles, the record for the Waldorf
Astoria sending station. She has several
times flashed messages to her sweetheart
at that distance, and has carried on a
lengthy aerial conversation with him at
a distance of 800 miles. This ts believed to
be the second In long-distance talks in
which Cupid has had a hand.
The young woman operator wears the
uniform, cap and coat of the service. She
has altered the lines of the coat, giving
It a femlnlno cut, while preserving Its
strictly service appearance. The cap also
has been slightly altered, giving it a
smarter look, and It also differs from the
regular cap of the company In that It is
held in place by a hatpin. Miss Nevlns I:'
an expert In wireless instruments, and wa.
selected for the post partly by reason o!
her practical knowledge of the system sh
operates. 1
Leaves from Fashion's Notebook.
Sunshades are as gay 'as the hats, and
of the flat, Japanese shape.
Evening gowns show very little that Is
new, unless It be that the latest models all
hnve lower waistlines and fuller skirts
round the feet.
The dlreetolre coat Is by no means out,
and braid la still the favored trimming on
the new spring models, which have Urge
revers cf either ottoman silk or satin.
It ts worth nothing that collars are get
ting higher and higher, and some dress
makers across the sea are even fixing on
them little hooks of pink silk wire to slip
round the ear.
Despite all the rumors of a revolution In
dress and the tentative offering of full
skirts on some of the new models, mist
leading modistes cling to the long, scant
costumes that have prevailed all winter.
One of the really delightful revivals, it a
mode that so recently rose and fell may
be called a revival, is the sleeveless coat
It was originally intended that this manner
of coat should be worn all winter with

l. I the last few seasons, and yet.
matters pertaining; to children's
dress, these hats have in
creased In childishness as well as
In plcturesqusness. One sees very few '
overtrlmmed absurdities In children's mil
linery and a majority of the little bonnet
and hat models suggest a quatnt sim
plicity even when their daintiness Is of a
very expensive variety.
The mushroom hat with narrow or wide
brim and simple trimming has been one
of the most satisfactory child models of
the last year, furnishing protection for
eyes and face, and at the same time fram
ing the little face effectively. The shaps
Is not to be discarded, though It will not
reign alone, and drooping brims appear
upon most of the hats Intended for chil
dren past the bonnet stage.
But first a word as to those bonnets.
Never were more bewitching little crea
tions of lingerie and of tine straw braids
offered for the very small girls. They are
comparatively small, these bonnets.
The old) large crowned, wide brimmed af
fairs which made even the prettiest of
baby girls look topheavy have made way
for smaller, snugger shapes in better pro
portion to the small heads which will wear
them, and, though there may be a frill or
flare around the face for finish, this Is
merely wide enough to ba becoming and
make a soft fluffy frame.
Many of the prettiest lingerie bonnets
have a plaited frill of fins lace next the
face, but over this fulls a plain trill If one
may call that a frill which is shaped but
not really fulled. This plain brim Is of
finest lingerie material exquisitely embroid
ered and with an edge of little hand-embroidered
scallops.
The crown may be shirred and corded: or
draped ot the lingerie material, or perhaps
It, too, shows hand embroidery In Its cen
ter. Knots and ties of soft pink or blue
liberty ribbon are the trimming, and some
times little clusters of babyish flowers are
added, pink tipped English daisies, tiny
roses, forget-me-nots, or fine pink and
white hawthorne blossoms.
Straw bonnets are made of the finest
lacy braids, soft enough to be handled
like lacs Itself, and follow much ths same
lines as the lingerie bonnet, with a very
moderate flaring brim, under which U
softening lace or chiffon, among whose
folds tiny flowers may or may not be
tucked. Flowers almost invariably appear
somewhere upon these straw bonnets, but
they may be among the ribbon or at the
head of the ribbon ties over the ears.
One delightful model had a crown formed
of dull finish white braid loosely plaited
or Interwoven, and around the face was a
fringed ruche ot soft white chiffon taffeta.
Tiny pink rosebuds were set along ths
renter of the niche at Intervals, the fluffy
fullness almost concealing tbem and a
cluster of the pink rosebuds headed each
of the ties. Inside the silk ruche, next
to the face, was a frill of Valenciennes
lace.
Bonnets made entirely of lace frills and
email mushroom hats made la the same
way are dainty and becoming for summer
wear, and some particularly quaint bonnet
models are made up like the one Illus
trated here.
The close-fitting crowa Is composed
of, or rather covered with, over
lapping frills of valenclsnncs run
ning from side to side, but toward the
bottom these frills do not curve in to fol
low the head shape, falling Instead
straight from the crown of Uie head In
curtain fashion. Two or three frills of
the lace finish the bonnet around the face
and ribbon knots and ties may be supple
mented by flower, trimming or not. ac
cording to Individual taste.
The mushroom hats of overlapping Valen
ciennes frills are of course Intended for
girls older than those who will wear the
bonnets, but some wee models are shown
which would not be out of place in associa
tion with 5-year-olds.
Usually the only trimming upon such a
and buttonholed, and bordering the brim
and In the crown center ts a fine openwork
embroidery design done like the button
holingIn white.
Pongee has ben used for ?ome little hats
built on these same general lines, but Is
harlly so childish as the wash stuffs.
For girls, a trifle older, there are Innum
erable pretty things in straw and lingerie
and lace, but the designers are showing
a lamentable tendency to Introduce the off
shades so popular in millinery for grown
ups Into children's millinery too; and even
for the schoolgirl who has left bibyishncss
behind her, the odd berry and rose and blue
and green tones of the fashionable garment
do not seem to have the proper childish
note.
Much prettier and more becoming are the
ecru and burnt straws trimmed In franker
hues; and, fortunately, there are plenty of
these. As we have said, the mushroom
shapes, scarf trimmed are popular and
many models with bowl shaped crowns and
brims thst while drooping, are ullghtly
y,
enveloping furs, but the Idea did not ap
peal. It Is promised for this spring and
summer with much assurance, and Indica
tions point to Its success.
Hats with hardly any brims and ' high
crowns ornamented with flowers and
leaves, which remind one of a Dutch gar
den In their set and precise arrangement,
are to be met with on all sides, as are the
black tulle and Jelled large toques, some of
which have two long and sharply pointed
quills made of emerald green sequins dart
ing out of a "boquet" of tulle or plumage.
Josephine hats are also on view; Indeed,
the variety of styles is exceptionally great
this spring.
Now comes the cry that panters are com
ing In, which would mean that the days
of exaggerated slendernesa and hlplessness
are numbered. Panniers and pointed bod
Ices may evolve Into a style as attractive
as our own direotolre, but we can hardly
imagine it at this stage. The pointed
bodices are already making their Influence
felt, and there are evident suggestions of
the panniers In many of the new arrivals.
Perhaps the most interesting, If not the
most important, feature of fashions Just
now Is the trtirmii gs and color manipula
tion. Both are designed to be most effec
tive without btlng In any way aggressive.
Beautiful, even brilliant pinks, greens, blues
and yellows are used, but there Is a brown
ish cast over them that subdues and makes
them generally becoming. While there is
a leaning toward the monochrome effects
ths new shades are also cleverly combined.

Miss Floretta Vlning of Boston, Mass.,
the only woman who Is the exclusive owner
of a chain of newspapers, Is In Washing
ton. Miss Vlning does not show the weight
of her responsibilities, and Is above all else
a wotiinrly woman, and In appearance de
cidedly attractive.
There are a great many fine old women
passing from the stago of life Just now,
among them being Mrs. Emily P. Collins,
96 years rid. of Atlantic, Mass. She organ
lard the first women suffrage association.
Just sixty-one years ago. She was a nurse
durinr the civil war. and at the age of 70
took entire charge of the Hartford Ex
aminer during the absence of the editor,
and her friends say some of the best num
bers of that Journal were issued while she
was to charge.
Mrs. Aubrey le Blond, who has climbed
many mountains, says that a climb of
many hours becomes no more fatiguing
than a hard game of tennis. "Only a short
time ago the mother of one of our mem
bers, who Is nearer 80 than 70, did an ex
pedition of 14 or :5 hours in the snow with
out turning a hair."

Miss Jesnette Lee, the writer of bonks
for young people, Is a teacher of English
literature at Hmlth college. She sye she
talks very little to her pupils. She prefers
to make them think and get them to do
the talking. Bha has Just eomplnted a story,

Dr. Mary Merritt Crawford ts only 25

surgeon, which means chief of staff In
the Williamsburg hospital at Brooklyn.
ho will be head of staff of seven men
s.nd will hold the position for one year.
She Is the first woman to hold such an Im
portant position.
Elisabeth Chesser, writing of the women
In prison In England, says that skilled
workers are seldom among them. It Is
generally the woman without a trade or
an educations that gets Into trouble, anj
it does not sbem right, she says, that a
girl arrested for a first offense should be
obltsred to associate with hardened crimin
als. The nobility of labor and the grandeur
of work are the things that an Ideal sys
tem of prison training will endeavor to
teach.

et Us Pay
For a Dottle of Liquocide. and Give it to Vou to Try
There Is nothing to buy not a penny
to pay. We will buy the first bottle It
you will try It snd learn what Ltquoclde
means to you.
Countless people have done that during
the past seven years. Borne were dis
couraged and hopeless, believing that help
was Impossible. To many the fact seemed
too good to be true. But they let the
product Itself prove its power. Then they
told the results to others, and the others
told' others, until millions of people, all
the world over, have shared In the bene
fits of this invention.
What LiquocHe Is
Liquocide Is a tonlc-germlclde, the vir
tues of which are derived solely from
oxide gases. No alcohol, no narcotlq,
nothing but gas enters into It. The pro
cess of making requires large apparatus,
and consumes 14 days' time. The object
Is to so combine ths gases with a liquid
as to carry their virtues Into the system.
Ths result Is a germicide so certain
thst we publish with every bottle an
offer of (1,000 for a disease germ that
Liquocide cannot kill. It destruyj tnem
because germs are of vegetable origin.
But to the body Iquoclde Is exhilarating.
vitalising, purifying.
That Is Its main distinction. Common
germicides are poisons when taken In
ternally. They are Impossible, for they
destroy the tissues as well as the germs.
That. Is why medicine proves se helpless
in daallns with serm diseases. Llauo-
clde, on the contrary, acts as a remark
able tonic.
We Paid S100.000
For the rights to Liquocide, after thous
ands of tests had been made with it.
After Its power had been demonstrated tor
more than two years In the most diffi
cult germ diseases. Conditions which had
resisted medicine for years yielded at
once to It, and diseases considered incur
able were cured.
That was seen years ago. Since then
millions of people in every' part of the
world have shared In the benefits of this
Invention. Nearly every hamlet, evory
neighborhood, has living examples of its
power. Now we ssk you to let it do for
you what It did for them.
Germ Diseases
Most of our sickness has, in lste years,
been traced to gtrm attacks. Borne germs
as In skin troubles directly attack the
tissues. Borne create toxins, causing such
troubles as Kheumatlsm, Blood Poison,
Kidney Disease snd nerve weakness, gome
destroy vital organs as In consumption.
Borne like the germ of Catarrh create
Inflammation; some cause Indigestion. In
one of these ways nearly every serious
aliment Is a germ result.
Such conditions call for a germicide,
not for common drugs. Liquocide dots
what ether means cannot accomplish. And
It Is wrong to cling to old ways when mil
lions of people know a way that Is better.
