rlalma that to handle the child
wisely the mother ahould be aa
wise aa society can make her. Ha says:
"The mother should bo educated both
in life and In the schools, and the solid
tude and provision for her education
hould certainly not be leas than for that
of the scientific specialist. At the age of
perhaps 8 the child brain Is practically
aJl In; he l shoTt only In experience and
practice. He can understand any abstract
principle and any piece of literature, from
the theory of evolution to the Hamlet of
Shakespeare, but when he spends his time
with an uneducated nurse or an unldeaed
mother he goes to school and even to col
lege with a mind o barren that one of
our great college has actually Introduced
a tutorial system by which an Intelligent
Instructor practically lives with the boy
nd attempts the reparation of a misspent
childhood.
"It Is also true that there never was a
time In the history of the family when It
stood so much In need of an Intelligent
mother. Formerly life aa a whole was
largely comprehended within the family.
The Industries and arts, education and re
ligion were carried on there. But theae In
terests have now been abstracted from the
home to such a decree that the Timlty
situation la left rather empty. Business
pursuits keeps the fether away from home
most of the time, and even set very narrow
ltmlta to his Intelligence, and It Is. there
fore pecullnrly Important that the mother
should be fit to represent the Interests of
life during that prolonged period before
the child makes his connections with the
outer world. '
"Morality Is with reference to the wel
fare of ioclety, not the appetites of the
Individual, and a theory or practice which
restricts the Interests of the mother and
thereby stunts the life of the child Is. In
the profoundest sense of the word, Im

Boosting; lie of Gas.
A new way of earning money has been
opened to women by the gas companies of
the large cities. They are sent to private
houses and apartments to explain the use
of the gas range and of the meter with the
object of teaching economy In the use of
gas. According to one of these teachers It
la a position requiring tact as well aa the
special knowledge they are paid to diffuse.
"It Is always possible to make a woman
feel humiliated when you call to show her
how to do what she thinks she
knows how to do herself," one of the gas
emissaries Is quoted In Popular Mechanics,
sa saying about her work. "Possibly she has
complained to the gas company that the
stove will not work properly.
"The reason may be aha does not know
how to use It, but It would not do to tell
her so. So we proceed to find out the rea
son and do It so adroitly that she still be
lieves the fault was with the range and
not with her, but at the same time has
learned enough to make certain that there
will be no future oomplalnt."
Where the Idea ef this new department
originated Is not known. Chicago has just
claimed the credit of It, but the gas com
panies of Philadelphia, New Tork and
other cities also have suoh departments and
advance counter claims. In Philadelphia
the staff of women go from door to door
or make special visits If called.
Among the bits of Information handed out
by the teacher Is the declaration that many
women make the ' mistake of trying to
light the gas at the same time they turn It
on. A, second or two should be allowed to
elapse before applying the match, so that
the gas can expel the air. This makes the
Vkitme work hatter and saves ar&a.
Another economical expedient to which
many women pay little attention la the
simmering burner. When a saucepan no
longer needa the entire heat of a burner it
Is only necessary to transfer It to the sim
mering burner to leave the large burner
free for something else and to save gas.
Result of Investigation.
An Atchison. Kan., girl, relates the Globe
of that city, had a proposal of marriage
Sunday night, and asked a week to think
It over. She went to all of her married sis
ters. One, who used to be a belle, had three
children, did all her own work, and hadn't
been to the theater or out riding alnoe
she was married. Another, whose husband
was a promising young man at the time
she waa married, was supporting him. A
third didn't dare say her life waa her own
when her husband was around, and a
fourth was divorced. After visiting them and
hearing their woes, the heroine of this little
tale, went heme, got her pen. Ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the young
man. Tou may think It waa refusing him,
but It wasn't. She said ah could be ready

The fO butt inn are one of the accessories
to the ecclesiastical gown. To be strictly
accurate, a few hundred cases are merely
"applied," and run up and down the
straight expanse of woman like so many
racers making for a goal. But from the
neck of the hem of the skirt there are bat
talions that require the hook. The ecclesi
astical in many of Its phases keeps close
to the original. The robes of Archbishop
Farley In some church ceremonial could
hardly be distinguished fiom those of the
femlnlno memb.rs of a congregation. Sim
pler forms Imitate the priest's cassock,
which, being absolutely guiltless of fullness
at any stage, gives the unpleasant sugges

somewhere by the wayside and is escaping
In some phase of that mysterious "under
neath" to whl?h Misa White refers.
Miss White wji strong in praise of the
cassock for the suffragette, believing It to
be Just the costume "to run away with."
For the antla Miss White pointed to the
gown of the middle ages as a symbol of

Traits of College Girls.
The original argument against "the fe
male mind" wae that It could not cope
with the college curriculum. Now they
seem to think that the college curriculum
cannot cope with the female mind, says
Madge C. Jenlron In the Delineator. We
have It suggested In all seriousness, as
the dean of women at Chlcano notices
with demure acidity a recent report, that
women should be required to take more
work, to offset the extra drain, executive,
Journalistic and athletic, which comes upon
man.
But, after all, the work of the university
girl Is not Just what It seems, any more
than is her apparent capture of the uni
versity In numbers. It needs no Account
ing for. It la the heritage of her history.
On sees In her scholarship the same deli
cacy which Is to be met In the life of wo
men everywhere, which makes It so dlffl
rult to organlzo them against any labor
bi e, which keeps them tied to miserable
marriages this natural tendency to do
what Is set before them, and to do It, If
not necessarily with distinction, at least
to go on doing It, find, for the moat part,
with devotlrn and thoroughness. The very
certainty of this Incllration I Its limita
tion. A college girl reads what Is In the
course; sh dees It all and she does It
well. She may say to you, with an air of
flnalliy If you talk to her about Thackoray:
"We do not hnv Thackeray until next
year." A profersor at Kansas said that
he found his girls studying bocks, his
boys studying subjects., ,
There Is another quality in women which
I deceiving, and which makes for good
woik, but not for the best. They have. It
Krmi, a certain esthetic sense, even Intel
lectually, which prompts thetn always to
torn out a thing which Is neat and nice to
look at. A professor of sociology told tne
that he waa reminded anew of this quality
with every set of theses which cam up to
him. He read the first five of women,
each time, with a new delight. They were
so complete, so finished, so smooth and
filed down. "But I can read fifty of men
with loss weariness than fifty of women,"
he sold. "If they are not so well done,
they are fresh. It may not be good socio
logy, but It I Tod Barnes, and I have not

Makersof Millions.
One of the most Interesting chapters n
a book Just published In London,, "Road
to Riches." by Thornton Hall, is that en
titled, "Women as Maker of Millions,"
and a good many Of the heroines are
American.
Probably no one knew until thl admira
ble compilation Was published that there'
were so many women who have made mil
lions as the result of their own efforts pr
discoveries.
From th many stories which the book
contains are reproduced the following:
"A notable pioneer among women money
maker I Mrs. Herman Oelrlchs. daughter
of Senator Fair. She had, It Is true, a
large fortune to begin with, but about four
years ago she took the management of it
Into her own hands.
"She sold out all her real estate holdings
In San Francisco for $2,500,000 and went to
New Tork to pit her brain, a a money
maker against the most astute and daring
financiers In the world.
"Instead of losing her fortune, a was
confidently anticipated, she added to it to
rapidly) by successful speculation that
within two years she was $20,000,000 richer
than when she started her campaign, and
la Increasing her millions so quickly that
It I said she will one day be the richest
woman In the world.
"A a woman Of business Mrs. Oelrlchs
has a formidable rival In Mrs. Ella Rawls
Reader, a woman who at one time ad
dressed envelope In a New York news
paper office.
"Four years later Mrs. Reader waa head
of the largest reporting agency In the city,
and Was preparing to start on her brilliant
careed as a financier, in which she has
fought singlehanded some of the cleverest
and richest men In Wall street.
"Here are a few of the achievements pf
th's wonderful woman, who Is still little
advanced In th thirties, and who Is de
scribed as pretty, with a fascinating smile,
a gentle voice and manner and a charming
personality,
"She organized a $10,000,000 railway In op
position to J. Plerpont Morgan, wrested
from powerful rivals a concession for a
railway through the dominions of the sul
tan of Johore, settled a South American
revolution at her breakfast table, entered
Into competition with Wall treet to con
trol the copper Interests of Peru, and
fought President Roosevelt over the ques
tion of San Domingo finances.
"Quit recently she made a most roman
tic marriage with an Englishman within a
fortnight of meeting him.
The story of Mrs. Nat Colllne, the "cattle
queen of Montana," Is romantic.
"When but a school girl she was captured
by Indians, kept prisoner for months and
compelled to witness the tortures of her
fellow Captive.
"After her release she spent a few year
aa cook for a freight train between Den
ver and the Missouri river; 'hardly a day
passing,' as she says, 'without an Indian
fight, for th aavagea were constantly
swooping down upon the trains, killing the
freighter or driving away th stock.'

ren were laid In on grav.
In talking of one of the triple funeral
Mrs. Wer.tzel recalled a cloudburst many
years ago that resulted In tbe drowning
of three members of one family at Mau
ser's Mill, near this town. Mrs. Joseph
Wentsel. daughter of Jacob Mauger, pro
prietor of the mill had gone from her home
here with her five children to help pull
flax at the old homestead. A cloudburst
about eventide had swollen the mill race,
but Mrs. Wentael's brother. Henry Maugrr,
felt confident be could drlv her and the
children across In safety, so they could
reach home. But the water engulfed the
velvet. It Is tied With snlpTuir yellow rib

and a border of velvet.

About twenty years ago Mrs. Annie Kline
Rlkert was left a widow In San Francisco,
almost penniless and with a young daugh
ter to support.
"But she had a clever head and a brave
heart, and although she knew no more of
mining than of mathematics, ah boldly aet
out with her S-year-old girl Into the Mojav
desert to th neighborhood of the Silver
King mine In search of fortune.
" 'For over two months I walked out from
my tent every day across th desert to the
mine with my little daughter to prospect
she with a little toy hammer.
" 'One day at sunset, as I was about to
start back to our tent, discouraged and al
most ready to give up, I heard my little
daughter .creaming, "Mammal Mamma!"
I went to her and she called out, "I have
found some rock exactly like the specimen
Mr. Pearson had at San Bernardino."
" 'Mr. Pearson was a man who had come
up from Mexico and had shown me speci
mens of silver ore. Sure enough, she waa
right. I knocked off some of the cropplngs
and took about twenty-five pounds back to
my tent.
"When I reached It I found some men
who had stopped on their way from San
Bernardino at the mines. I showed them ,
my rock. They exclaimed: "Tou needn't
look any further; that rock will go from
$4,000 to $5,ono o the ton." They wore
right.' " And this lucky find Was the foun
dation of Mrs. Rlkert's Immense fortune.
Of the women who own millions which
they have not made the number Is great.
Probably the wealthiest of them all are
Senora Couslno, a Chilean woman, whose
fortune Is said to be $20,000,000; Frau von
Bohlen, the heiress of the Krupp millions,
who is credited with $75,000,000 and an In
come of $200,000 a month, and Mme. Creel
of Washington, who, with an income of
$5,000,000 a year, Is content to wear dresses
at $15 each.
Weeps With Every Weeper.
A peculiar fascination to attend funerals
that seemed to have charmed her when a
little girl and which she has been unable
to resist In her long life of over 81 years,
has given Mrs. Rebecca Wentzel of Potts
town, Pa., a reputation far and wide as
a mourner for everybody dead. "Laugh
and the world laughs with you; weep, and
you weep a'. one," doe not apply to ber,
as her record of attending 4,007 funerals
attests. . - ,:
In her carefully kept diary she has noted
that of these funeral there were' fourteen
double ones of children, eleven where hus

seven where three of one family were In

Rage for yokes, for It la the exception

the very practical Idea of the transforma

Chiffon the Season's Fad
T
HE manufacturers of chiffon
have reason to pour 4 libation
to the gods of fashion this
season. The demand for this
material promises to be un
precedented unless the maker

and refuse to live up to th laws they have
laid down In their early aon model.
It 1 extravagant, of course, this fad of
the chiffon frock, th chiffon coat, etc, for
chiffon seldom goes unadorned, and thl
filmy material Is beautiful In th smartest
models by a wealth ot handwork embroid
ery, 'braiding, Inset lace, eto. Moreover,
chiffon must be used lavishly. No skimping
In the soft, graceful folds. No sparing of
material In the draperies. Bet over against
these objections the beauty of the material.

that the heavier quality of chiffon, known
as chiffon cloth, wear surprisingly well

fresh and lovely from frequent pressing.

Some of the black chiffon coats are, like
the one of our sketch, trimmed hand'

the jet embroidery In the model Illus

In all whit some beautiful coat and
frock chiffon model are made up, though
apparently all white la not to play so Im
portant a role this season- as it has in some
past summer. Whit silk marquisette was
the material used In a Jeanne Halle model
whose skirt had much fullness below a
smooth deep yoke, and whose loose, long
straight coat waa lavishly ornamented with
embroidery of satin cord and Irish crochet.
Another whit shear coat and frock was
elaborately embroidered In fine white
soutache.
One of th exquisite new green, delicate
enough to (uggeet the very first baby
leaves of spring. Is particularly effective
In chiffon cloth, and a summer frock of
such green chiffon la In making In one
of the workrooms Just off Fifth avenus.
The straight long prlncesse frock Is draped
slightly across the front and sides and
shirred in the middle-back, the skirt width
at the bottom measuring perhaps seven
or eight yards.
Six yards is the moderate skirt width tn
the new models, and when the clinging
fronts and sides Join the revolution already
inaugurated by the skirt backs we shall
have ten and twelve-yard skirts. That time
has not yet come, but that It la coming
within the year none of the initiated seems
to doubt, and meanwhile no wise woman
Is leaving a scant back In her spring frocks,
no matter how unwilling she may be to
give up the clinging dlrectolre Unas.
But to return to the green chiffon. It is
trimmed with self-tucking, satin buttons
and loops and Inset bands of a fine cream
ret embroidered In tiny gold dots, and for
wear over it Is a long loose coat of the
chiffon, sleeveless, satin trimmed and fas
tening with big effective satin ornaments.
A big green hat, white faced and trimmed
In masses of whit roses; a green parasol
lined with white, white glove and white
hoe are to complete a costum which
hould be a refreshing sight on a hot sum
mer day. This coat, by th way, Is an
unusually full modvl, but draws ia at a
shortened waist line with several lines of
narrow heavy oordnd puffing instead of
falling In free folds, as do many of th
heer coat models,
Oause butterflies, spangled with silvsr,
ttl, gold or Iridescent coloring, nstl In
the hair, and have a bright and charming
effect
Treating The Wrong Disease
Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from
liver or kidnev disease, another from nervous prostration, another with
pain here and there, and in this way they present alike to themselves
and their easy-going or over-busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and potions. In
reality thev are all only symptoms caused by some weakness or derange
ment of the organs distinctly feminine. The physician, ignorant of the
c$ of suffering, keeps up his treatment until large bills are made.
The suffering patient gets no better by reason of the wrong treat
ment, but probablv worse. A DroDer medicine like Tir Pirrre-'e Fa.
vonte Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby
dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged
misery. It has been well said, tliat "a disease known is half cured." .

an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman's delicate system.
