E THE OMAHA SUJsDAT BEE: JULY 18, 1909. 9 Activities in the Realm of Progressive Women For Iler Wkc WocM Travel. O gratify the dealr to ice as TT 1 much of the world aa possible I usually Implies possession of a rn-iiiu vum aiucn depend on the traveler's Ideas of her needs. A moderately-filled Dune can be made to so a long way If the owner restricts herself to essentials and puts aside the non-essentials. To those who would see much without great expense. Era Mad den, In Good Housekeeping, addresses her self, telling them how thef may, through ths "travelers' bureaus" In Germany and Switzerland, find situations whers English conversation or Instruction is taken as an equivalent for board, or find pupils. Also thers are ths 'pensions" for women with small means, In nearly all continental cit ies, where Mrs. Madden says ths sost of living Is not more than 60 or 70 cents a day, which Is surely within ths reach of anyone who ever thought of going any where. She is assured that ths food Is abundant, but German. Lodgings are cheap, and ths food may cost what ths traveler pleases. As for traveling by train, on ths continent and In Great Britain, only "rich Americans go first class." As to riding about the country In England, Mrs. Madden advises going by ths carrier's cart, and In Holland by small canal boat. In many parts of Europe villages are so doss together that It Is perfectly feasible to walk from place to place. It Is only two years ago when a (woman) college professor, with a friend, visited village after village on foot, carrying ths Indis pensable "little-alls" In a suitcase, had a pleasant trip and an economical one. Thers Is time enough for a six weeks' or two months' trip abroad. If ons goes now. e Barings of the Business Girl. The start may be a small one, only 80 cents a week. But It Is a start. And It Is worth making. Perhaps the next year a dollar a week can be put away. And so in ths course of time, though it Is slow, uphill work, inOO can be accu mulated. With this for a foundation a girl can do something. One girl when she had saved $600 built her own home. A small lot was secured In a suburb, a building and loan associa tion put up ths house and today the house Is hers almost clear. In a few years now she will havs paid for It entirely. The monthly amount she paid the building and loan association Is far less than she would havs paid as rent for such a house. She has had the Joy of living In her own horns and fixing It as It suited her fancy, and shs now has a good In vestment. Many a girl can do ths same. Every city Is surrounded with pretty suburban places. By a careful study of them, of their train and trolley facilities, by a com parison of valuations, she can find a de sirable lot at modest cost A building and loan association will furnish the major part of the money for building the house. This girl had but 1300 in cash to pay on the house. One should go carefully to make sure of a desirable location and of a house that will either rent or sell If the need comes, for ons wants her money Invested whers shs can gst an adequate return for It. Another business woman who had saved a few hundred and wanted to get mors than ths small per cent ths bank paid bought an Inexpensive seashors lot and put up a simple little house. She gets her vacation thers quite Inexpensively and most enjoyably. And so far shs has al ways been able to rent It for two or three months during ths season at a profitable rats. She takes Jolly little wesk-snd par ties down In ths spring and fall, and altogether gets quite as much pleasure as shs does financial profit out of hsr ven ture. Tn wnrb fne anme enecla.1 obiect nuts a lot mors seat in one's work. To see one's saving materialize makes saving a far more pleasant task than merely to hand so many dollars into a bank each week and have nothing more attractive to show for them than some figures In a bank book. This, of course, is the necessary start, and figures are enjoy able things to think about when one is sick and no salary coming In. But noth ing quite equals the delights of treading the floors of your own home, which you hare paid for from your savings, or which you are paying for while you live In It, and which you plan to make mors beauti ful ss ths months go by. The first essential Is to make the start. Make a start If It Is only 2a or M cents a week. 1 Humble as an Ant I. "Some of these antl-auffragettes," said Dr. Ida Harper Heustla of Duluth, "re mind me. In their strange humility, of ths Widow Skinner. "Shs had been twice widowed, and she was telling ms about her two husbands oyer a cup of tea. " 'Hoggs was the first,' shs said, dream ily; a ornery hound wot used to git drunk and corns home and lambast me all over the place. Arter Boggs died I married Skinner. He wux a good-for-nothln', or nery critter wot 'ud turn up full, and, be gosht, I'd lamm htm till he couldn't see.' "She chuckled with quiet amusement ' 'Well,' said I, 'the last was better than the first t least' "But ths widow shook her head. " "No, 'twa'nt,' shs said. 'I'd kinder got used to Boggs little ways, and In Skin ner's case I never cottoned to the Idea of doin' a man's work about ths house.' " Grand Old Lady of Kiaau, "Ths Grand Old Lady of Kansas." That Is ths title which has been given to Mrs. Margaret Usher of Lawrence, Kas., and ons to which shs has an undisputed right. In all the Sunflower State thers la no other woman more loved and revered than she, and no other who occupies the same posi tion. She Is ninety-one years of age, and yet life means as much to her as to any other woman, young or old. Ths wife of ths lata Judge John P. Usher, who served as secretary of the In terior In Lincoln's cabinet and who was an Intimate friend of ths great man, shs gradually became one of Llnooln's best women friends and thers were not many and was close to his family. Shs attended his second Inauguration, and because of his great liking for her, shs occupied a posi tion of prominence. Because of these thing Mrs. Usher's past is mads up of events, which to her are facts, while to others they ars merely inci dents set down In ths annals of history. Her recollections of Lincoln ars clear, and she can tell stories of the famous presi dent whloh rival In Interest any of those told. Her husband's picture appears tn ths famous "Death Scene of Lincoln." for on such close terms were they, that Judge Usher stood by Lincoln's side as his life slowly ebbed Into eternity. Mrs. Usher cams to Lawrence about forty-five years ago, and experienced many of the early Kansas vicissitudes. Ths Usher home was really the first "man sion" to be ereoted In ths new west, and it stands now, a remarkable memento to the past with Its white walls heavily over hung with Ivy. Mrs. Usher has three great hobbles be sides her love of reminiscence young peo ple, flowers and charity, and she manages to combine all three gracefully. On her every birthday she holds "open house," to which the young and old of the town are Invited mainly the former and not a guest forgets to bring a floral remember ance, for they know of their hostess's great lovs for flowers. Her home la filled with relics of the. past, Its furniture being of the real antique for which the "faddesls" would sell their souls. There is ths spinning-wheel which she used as a girl, and other relics about which she loves to tell her friends. No one ever doubts her hospi tality, and when a tourist In Lawrence, seeing the quaint and picturesque old horns, expresses curiosity as to the interior, he is Invited to enter, where he Is shown treas ures, for such they really are. The owner of all this la a dear, kindly old lady, whose ninety and one years set lightly upon her, and whose life Is made up of her really dramatic past and her pleasant present lifs. On Woman's '1 honghtf nlneas. A thoughtful housewife In Philadelphia has put into practice during the hot weather ths plan of offering to every person who comes to her front door a glass of cold water. In her experience no one has ever declined her hospitable refreshment Especially grateful are let ter carriers, market boys, and delivery men, whose work exposes them to the sun. This appreciation of her thought fulness has had the reflex effect of mak ing her contented and calm upon the most fretful days. It is quite possible that other housekeepers In other cities may award to this plan ths sincere flattery of imitation. Such agreeable domestlo oases in ths daily round of torrid duty may have the further effeot of lessening the number of visits by the overheated to the saloon for the temporary but false relief offered by beer. It Is a bit of kind ness that cheers the mind while quench ing the thirst, and tends to make mors pleasant the way of the toiler. No Place for Pour American Girls. "Paris is Parisian; the rest of France U French," say the natives of ths gayest capital In the world. Now, if the thou sands of Frenchmen pouring Into it an nually from the provinces cannot make Paris French, much less can the mere handful of Americans living there make it American. Yet at the Art Students' league a young western girl with mors enthusiasm than information was heard to say the other day: "My parents havs at last consented to let me study in Paris next year. There are such crowds of Americans there that I'm sure It won't seem strange." Her second delusion was appalling, says a writer In the lJellneator. She had saved up $000, out of which she expected to pay her passage and remain a year abroad 1 "Everyone says living is so cheap over there, I'm surs I can do it" Shs probably got her Impressions from some of those glamorously Incorrect vol umes on the gay life of the Latin quarter, where all the young men and women aro happy on a frano a day. It is Just such American bred descriptions of cheap apart ments, cheap restaurants, cheap clothes, and ths maglo word opportunity that work mischief among the women students who hope to complete their education there. . Emphatically, Paris is not a cheap place to live. Statements to the contrary ceasrd to be true In lsw when rents went up for the exposition double and more never to come down again. And in no section did they go higher than In the American quar ter. Though a single room or a small apartment many still be hired for less than In New York, the price Includes neither heat light hot water nor a bathroom. As for cheap restaurants, there Is scarcely one left Even the little cream ery restaurants can no longer serve a dinner for one frano twenty-five oentimes, whereas over here plenty of good din ners may be had for a quarter. One pays rather more than that In Paris student restaurants for eating from dirty slabs of marble, guiltless of cloth or napkins, and In a room unheated In winter save for the heavy smelling steam from the kitchen. The American Girls' club In the Rue de Chevreuse, once quoted as the cheapest living place, can no longer give board for less than (S a week. Paris boarding houses, or pensions, charge from $7 up, but heat light hot water, etc., are extra. Nor Is clothing cheap. Certain wholly luxurious articles, such as hand embroid ered waists, hand made underwear, laces, (lilt stockings and pretty neckwear cost amazingly little, but the things a woman student needs for everyday wear street costumes, simple dresses, shoes and stock ingscost as much in Paris as anywhere. Gloves are the only Indispensable item of apparel that Is cheap. Any way you look at It Paris Is for ths girl with a comfortable sum at her dis posal. Only she who Is willing to accept a flreless, candle-lit room, Insufficient food, no bath and. In general, shameless fhabblness, can live there cheaply. 8uch are the women who become the subjects of the stern, but in this country carefully concealed, tragedies of the Quarter. Health and Beauty Helps BY MBS. MAE MAJITYN. Banklna- Uon'ta for Women, If svery woman who has a check book will bear In mind the following points, says the Saturday Evening Post, every bank official in the country will arise and call them blessed: There Is a right and a wrong way to endorse a check. A check should be en dorsed by ths came In which It Is drawn. For example. If It Is mads payable to Mary Hamilton Brown it should be endorsed Mary Hamilton Brown. Unless Miss Brown happens to be well known at the bank It will be returned If it Is endorsed Mary H. Brown. Most women endorse checks the wrong way. The proper way Is to simply turn the check over and writs the signature stratght across at the left end. In three out of four cases women first turn the check upside down and then endorse It This causes ths tellers considerable In convenience. When you endorss a check that you re ceive and then pass it on to some one else you become liable for the payment of that check. If the check goes to protest, which will happen If ths maker has no funds, you have to make the amount good, and, In addition, pay the protest fee of 1.25 and often more. It Is Important to know whose checks you are endorsing. A woman should have a uniform signs ture for her checks. When you start a bank account you are required to write your name on a card or in a book. This specimen of writing Identifies your signa ture. Most men writs their cuBtomary hand when they give this official signa ture. But most women gtvs a "copybook" signature. They think it ought to be a fine specimen of penmanship. Then, when they write their checks they sign a work ing signature. This often cau.es delay and complication In Identifying checks. 'The signature that Is written on the bank book or card Is ths ons that should be employed on ths checks. Incidentally, every check should be carefully scrutinised hefors It Is sent out Married women frequently sign their maiden names to their checks. Not long ago a New York woman who had been married three times affixed her maiden name to a check. It took the cashier three days to get ths matter straightened out. Women often forget to sign their checks. They also 'neglect to have their books bal anced. This Is contrary to Mrs. Hetty Green's advice to women, which Is, "Keep your accounts balanced and know where you stand." No bank book should go longer than three months without being balanced. The experience of banks Is that when women once become depositors they al ways remain depositors. So with ths ma Jorlty of men. Ths small bank account Is not only an Incentive to saving and econ omy In the conduct of personal and other business, but it has a moral value, too. A man who has a bank account no mat ter how small, receives more attention and consideration than the man who has none and pays In currency. Chat About Women. Ida Lewis, keeper of the Lima Rock lighthouse, in the southern end of Newport harbor, celebrated her fifty-third annivers ary at the lighthouse July L Mrs. E. M.

A Flood of Newton, Mars., has been elected president of the Corporation of Army Nurses of the Massa chusetts Daughters of Veterans. The cor poration was formed to erect a monument to commemorate the work of ths array nurses during the civil war. Senator A. H. Tuttle of Ohio says that with the women's organizations the legisla ture will be lrrcfcistlble In Its fight to Im prove the condition of women and chil dren. It Is to them, he says, that the present Ohio child labor bill, the best In the country, Is duo. The women's clubs of ths state havs been asked to use their Influence for tha eight-hour day for women and compulsory education for children be tween 14 and 16. The club women of North Dakota are to erect a statue to the memory of Sacajawea, the Indian woman who acted as guide to the Lewis and Clark expedition. The statue Is to be erected near Bismarck and will have a huge boulder for a pedestal. The figure of an Indian woman will faci the west, the direction In which she led the expedition. There Is already one statue commemorating the faithfulness of Saca jawea. It was erected a few years ago at Portland, Ore. Boston has abandoned Its old Board of Education, which took care of the schools for seventy years, and now has a board composed of nine members. Two of tha members are women, Miss Sarah Arnold, who has been dean of Simmons college for the last seven years, and Mrs. Ella Lyman Cabot, who has been a member of the school board under the old order. She is president of ths civil service reform auxi liary and a member of tha Radollffs coun cil. She has been a member of tha board since 1906. A. C.

There have been few real Innovations In bathing costumes In ths last few years. For a time changes cams faBt and furiously and ths old-Uma flannel and sergs cos tumes mads way, not without lamentation and dh-s prophecy on the part of their wearers, for mohair and silk. But now ths last word seams to havs bean said upon ths theme of bathing suit materials and only In slight dstalls does ths suit of ons season vary from the suit of ths previous season. To bs sura, there are experimental changes of Una, The vogue of ths prtn cesse or seml-prlncesse lines has been re flected In ths province of ths bathing cos tumereflected. It must bs admitted, with only mediocre success. Thers ars a few models which, while preserving ths usual plaited blouse and skirt 'relation around sides and back, show a continuous box plait down ths front of blouse and skirt. This Idea has been very satisfactorily developed and looks well enough upon ths bather who has a slender figure or wears a bathing corset; but svsn for this wearer ths uncomprom ising prlnoess costumes built much on tha lines of ths loosely fitted ons piece prln cesas trottsur frock is mora novel than successful. Such models ars offered In all ths shops carrying high class bathing costumes, and such a model as the one In black silk with soutached yoke and front panel which Is Illustrated hers Is rathsr good looking In tha hand but quits ths reverse oa tha wearer after a plunge. Ths conservative la always sensible cholca In bathing costumes. Good ma terial well cut, carefully flnlahsd, deriving originality from soms little novel touch of trimming, but with no spectacular fea tures, nothing startling so runs tha law of good tasts In bathing dress. Of courss there are always women at svsry shore resort, women of more auda city than good breeding, who entertain ths orowd by amaslng toilettes at ths bathing hour. It was not so many years ago that one of tha accepted features of the season at a popular resort was ths bathing hour appearancs of ths daughter of a wealthy New Yorker, and parties were made ud each afternoon to go down to it a beach and sea what shs wore. Even this .season mere was a dally act of tha sams sort at a Jersey shore resort, but the fair baU er In this caae was an actress, and the amas lng bathing costumes were doubtless charged mp to advertising. For tha gentlewoman consplcuousness on the beach, save as It arises from beauty of face or figure, ts ths last thing desired; but there's no reason why a woman shouldn't look as well In her bathing cos tume aa natura will allow. Black and dark blue are beyond a doubt ths most satisfactory colors tor ths purpose. Light colors soil too easily and are sel dom seen on American beaches, though on ths French coast bathing costumes In whits and bright colors occasionally ap pear. Last year a good many brown suits made their appearancs, but though becoming to certain brown haired, brown eytd bathers, they did cot look so well when wet aa ths black or dark blua. Check silks, chiefly In black and whits, havs had some vogue and ars shown again this season, but they ars harder to keep clean and fresh than tha plain color. Tha checked silk Is almost Invariably trimmed In black and color or in ail black, while tha plain toned dark suits ars light ens by vartoua gay touches. An aulirs collar of whits, red or light blue may brighten a suit of black or navy blue, or the collar may bs of white with embroid ery tr braiding la oolvr and 4 colored, SMaMBBBBMaSBBBMSaBBBa-aaMSSBSSaSSSBaBBSBMaBSSSaai aSSBBaBSSaSMSSSSBSSSSBSSSSBi BATHING SUITS OF BLACK, BLUE AND CHECKED SILK AND MOHAIR. scarf. I Ths collar Is, however, mora and mors generally discarded, for while becoming and youthful whan first donned It has a way of looking shockingly crumpled and mussy and out of shape when wet, and tha flat neck trimming Is decidedly mors trig and practical. Very fetching effects ars attained In soms of thess flat trimmings about ths round or square neck. And right hers let usvcote whether the neck bs square or round or V shaped. It has much to do with the becoming qualities of tlva bathing suit. The subj-ct has been threshed out on the opposite page In connection with negligees, to we will not go Into It Again hers, but an Inch low.r or higher In ths cut of a bathing suit o a sharp angle In place of a curve may mae ail ths difference between ths becoming a nd ths unbecoming. Another thing to bs considered Is the adjustment of 'aits er other fulness In relation to tha figure. Sad to confess, ths ordinary feminine Igura, divested of such friendly aids as cor -eta, padding, etc, does not altogether comi up to requirements, and It looks Its w rat with wst bathing suit material cllngln,; limply to Its svery curve; but much can bs dons to tons down tha revelations by Jullcious adjustment of fulness and trimming. . It would bs well if rvery woman could havs her bathing suit -artfully fitted aad mads for her, ail ths materials having first been carefully and thoroughly shrunken. Instead of buying a ready made modal aproaiotatsly Lr aUs ruig It without even an attempt at alteration. Ths thorough shrinking and pressing of all the materials before making up would render It poasibls to fit ths suit carefully aad trimly. Better quality of material than that used for tha average ready made bathing suit could ba employed and ths work mors carsfully done. As for ths style of ths costums, thers are excellent designs In all of tha better fashion Journals and patterns ars provided with many of them. A soft waterproof satin, firm though supple and shedding water readily. Is much liked now for ths bathing costums, and some of these satins have wool backs whloh add to their warmth as well as to thsir softness. Taffeta of good quality is also liked, and there is a surah weave which gives good service. Of the mohairs it is not necessary to speak. They are excellent for the purpose because they shed water and do not cling. For bathers who need woolen suits or be lieve that they need them the fine twill, bard woven serges are ths best choice. Braid la used for trimming, as are bands of silk; but a liking for embroideries in toutacha or wash cottons or silks Is ap parent, and good effects ars obtained by Itussian, Bulgarian and Roumanian em broideries In gay colors and crude stitches. Embroidered dots or plain color ars aff ac tively used. Ths rubber bathing corset, though It may be an Impediment for swimmers, need not hamper the ordinary surf dippers and cer tainly dwa muca Xvt Us acianca at ths womaa Inclined toward embonpoint, while the proper sort of mohair ruffles used as bust padding will add considerably to tha shapeliness of ths thin bather. Leaves from Fashion's Notebook. Mols and elephant gray ars ths favorsd tints In colored veils. Exclusive high-priced milliners ars sub stituting eglantine, tulips snd clematis, exquisitely manipulated in velvet, for ths mors ordinary roses, peonies and Iris. For ths trimming of ths country hat ribbon plays an Important part and It is employed either in the form of a hugs rosette of soft flexible ribbon or as a plain band of black velvet. Ginghams ars being made for children with yoke scalloped at ths sdge back and front; the same scalloping Is carried over the shoulder, ths yoke worked with sprays of some simple flowers. It Is ds rtgueur that parasols should match some part of ths costume. Red parasols should only bs carried by those with fine complexions. Ths fashionable green parasols need a bright color on ths cheek. Very soft wtds rfbbsd Ottoman ribbon Is extensively used for motor millinery. Rosettes of emerald green and dark blue lend an admirable decorative touch to a festive bonnet of dark blue. Equally at tractive on another hat of ths same type and color were rosettes of deep amethyst and navy blue. The range of color in which Shantung, appears Is ons of the features of ths sea son in tha world of clothes. The tints are most artlstio and Include Nattier. Wedgewood and forget-me-not blue, emer ald, empire and almond green, the loveliest of rose and berry hues and all ths wlno and purple shades. On lingerie frocks It Is a pretty whim to drape the aash from ons shoulder, leav ing it halt concealed until It ties In a bow beneath the waist at ons side like tha ribbon of an order. Paris designers havs Introduced the sash knotting In a rosetts at one side of the waist, with long pend ant ends, close fltUng and really a waist band. Feather stitch has been revived and makes a most attractive bit of decora tion for a summer frock. One dainty gown seen recently was of white lawn, worked with a border of serersl rows of feather stitching Interspersed with Frenoh knots In blark, and a lovely white silk net blouse slip was embroidered In white floss silk In giant feather stitch. Another long frock was stitched In lemon yellow, to bs worn over an asalea-pink founda tion. The stitch Itself can be varied, of course, and may take ths place of hem. stltohlng; also it mayy bs dons very finely or in giant site. A smart costume In ths wardrobe of a young- matron, and which has been much admired, consists of a coat and skirt suit of pale dull green linen with a few large buttons and very narrow bands of strap ping of fine satin-faced cloth of a shade between clnnemon and chestnut The but tons sre round and quite flat and plainly covered with the cloth. A rather orlslnal t of .,hs "me r-'-i:al, fastened with strappings and buttons sn suite.
