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.

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.

EW YORK. July 17. 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,

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

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

while the proper sort of mohair ruffles

to tha shapeliness of ths thin bather.

Mols and elephant gray ars ths favorsd

Exclusive high-priced milliners ars sub

exquisitely manipulated in velvet, for ths

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

Rosettes of emerald green and dark blue

Introduced the sash knotting In a rosetts

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,

I havs used Wakefield's Blackberry Bal

never did before in my Ufa, but I ds wish,
to say to you. It has never failed ms tn
ons single instance nor any of my friends,
I have recommended It to. When druggists
say to me: "Hers Is something Just as
good." I tell them very candidly there Is
nothing Just aa good. Ths fact Is 1 have
never found anything Just as good and I
never expect to. I can oheerfuUy reoom
mend it to any ons young or old for all
Bowel Trouble. It has certainly helped ova
when nothing slss would.

Wakefield's Blackberry Balsam baa
been the surest and safest remedy for
Diarrbeoa, Dysentry. Cholera Infantum

While It la quick and positive In lta
action. It la unlike other remedies la
that it is harmless and does not con
stipate. It simply checks ths trouble)

been reported where a curs was not
