tPlllKemo than the way Kha met the new
Idea about her own position and rights
whlrh were born with the Revolution, That
upheaval, like the French Revolution, gave
a great Impulse toward bigger living. The
nation had taken a full breath ami felt
the atlr of It In ltn veins. Kverybody Haw
rlearer. stepped higher, felt braver and
dared more. Women, a men, shared the
emotion and begun to strain at their bond.
These bonds were ie:il enough. Noble und
understanding n. till lady of "TH wan In
fart and rceojjnlzid by the men of her
day to bo, In theory :lic was anything but
thut. She wua a per.on of Inferior mind,
unable to master the strong meat of eJu
cutlon without dangerous results to her
reason, unfit to be trusted with the guard
ianship of her property or her children,
lest both suffer, not to be allowed free
speech in public lent her tongue run away
with her and disorder and false doctrines
be encouraged, not to be allowed to mix In
the Gatherings or deliberations of men lout
her household, her manners and public
morals suffer. The greatest men of New
Kngland are on record on these points, and
tha church and the law upheld them, llu
mllry. charily, obldence, modesty, truth
fulness, godliness those were the qualities
they demanded; and they got them. How
weak human nature could attain those
highest of virtues as perfectly as their
wives did and still be as weak and untrust
worthy In mind as they theoretically were
was never explained.
Speaking' of two eonsnleonn.
trtots who figured during revolutionary
times, Miss Tarbell says:
"I doubt if there were two men among
Nhe patriots who had a clearer view of the
Muatlon from the atari than Mercy Otis
Warren and AbigaJl Smith Adams, wife
of President John Adams, or whether to
day, with all our higher education and en
larged opportunities, we are able to pro
duce a better type than these two women
products of the best traditions of their day.
"Both were Massachusetts born both
came from families of Intelligence and
serious purpose, before they were twenty
both had married educated men who were
active in the government of Massachusetts
and who from the first resisted Great
Britain's growing tendeneles to exploit
the colonies. Neither Abigail Smith nor
Mercy Otis ever had anything of what we
should call schooling. They had been
taught at home to read and write and
keep accounts, and that was the end of
it; but they had access to good books, and
they had practiced unlimited letter writ
ing. "The approach of the Revolution found
them both women with families, Mrs. War
ren living at Plymouth and Mrs. Adams at
Bralntree. , Familiar with every detail of
colonial politics as they were, their homes
were soon centers of red-hot patriotism. The
Adamses and War -ens had been accus
tomed to visiting and writing back and
forth, and as the troubles grew their In
timacy became the closer. Letters flew be
tween them, filled with suggestions, coun
sel and encouragment. While the corres
pondence was most active In this circle
of four, It was not confined to It. Mrs.
Warren, particularly, had a large list of
distinguished correspondents, and with
them the exchange of news and opinion
was constant. So helpful did Mr. Adams
and Mr. Warren find the letters of their
wives that finally the latter suggested that
groups bo formed throughout the colonies
for similar correspondence. The Idea was
eagerly seized upon, and was the beginning
of the committee of correspondence, which
played so large a part in the Revolution.
"Largely because of Mr. Adam's urging,
Mrs. Warren became a veritable pam
phleteer In verse. She was, so thought -ur.
Adams and many of her friends, an Incom
parable satirist, and they urged her, for the
good of the cause to revile the Tory and
"While Mrs. Warren was pouring out
poems, aramas ana history, Mrs. Adams
was writing to her husband and to her
friends, from her troubled horns in Brain
tree, volumes of frank, picturesque letters
series which furnish the liveliest
ketches we have of the life of the Revo
lutionary patriot and his family.
"The Interest and activity of both women
In shaping public opinion did not cease with
the Revolution. As long aa they lived they
wtre keen critics and valued counselors.
Women iu Talkers.
. As a rule, women unquestionably outrank
n In fluency of speech, writes John Barry
Yi Harper's Bazar. In the society of women,
ifen may be called the silent sex. But It la
when there are no men about that women
achievo the most brilliant linguistic feats.
They are often tempted to talk all at once
for the very reason that they all have so
much to say. Where their conversation
allows weakness Is In variety of subject.
As a matter of fact, there la little or no
variety. "At present," says a philosophical
student of the sex, "woneu have Just one
.kind of subject the purely" personal." But
In the treatment of personalities some
women develop genius. In spite of such
api arenlly marked limitations, the talk of
many uutuen never lucks material. Who
has ever seen two or more women dealing
with pel sonulitles uliuse subjects of con
vocation have become exhausted? Men, In
spile of reports to the contrary, indulge
considerably In personalities, though their
treatment of such themes may differ from
women's. But they have other subjects
thut interest them quite as deeply, and it is
hem that women fall to meet them. If
women wish to remain on a conversational
looting with their husbands they must bo
come familiar with matters supposed to be
foreign to the feminine mind, such as busi

When husbands fall Into the silent habit,
wives often resort to an expedient In nearly
all cases disastrous that Is, asking ques

mind dislikes questions. To escapo ques

meet It with evasion or misrepresentation
or by giving Information In so piecemeal

women are narrow and often monotonous,

and was, born In Glasgow. Her father was
a manufacturer, and It was In this way
that she brcame Interested In employes. As
an employe herself, In her father's office,
she came to know the true conditions, and
sympathised with the working people' rather
than with the manufacturer. She was ap

league six years ago and represents 200,000
working women. She has given evidence
before pnrllatnent -In regard to sweating
and represented working women at the
Intel national council In Berlin,
Npeed of tie Tjpewrller,
Rose L. Kills, six times winner of the
world's championship, tells In the New
York World how she works the keyboard
and gives valuable suggestions to those
anxious for proficiency on the typewriter.
She says, in part:
"Groat speed In the operation of the
typewriter Is partly a gift, I think, and
partly the result of Intelligent practice.
There are some people, no matter how
much they strive, who will never become
rapid operators. But you observe this
phenomenon In all lines of work that two
people of the same sire, strength and ed
ucation differ greatly In the ease and ex
pedition with which they perform the
same task.
"In the recent contest In Madison Square
Garden I wrote 6.135 words In an hour, or
an average of about 102 words a minute.
I can write Indefinitely at a speed very
nearly approximating that without feel
ing any fatigue or sense of strain. If all
typists would recognise the fact that It Is
Just as easy to write rapidly as It Is to
write slowly I believe that more of them
would strive after gieater speed.
"I attended a business school for about
three months, during which I put In two
or three hours dally on the typewriter.
At the end of that time I secured a posi
tion which kept me so busy that I had
no time to practice outside business hours.
With the speed acquired In this way I
went to Chicago and won the first prize
In the contest at the business show. I
ngw have a greater speed than at that
time and I hope that by next year 1
shall be able tp crowd In a few more
words a minute.
"In the first place I learned the touch
system perfectly so perfectly, In fact,
that my fingers think for me. I see a
word and I don't think how It Is spelled;
my fingers are spelling it out for me after
my mind has forgotten It and Is reading
the next word. - s. w w
"I never think of looking at my key
board or at what. I am writing. If I make
a mistake I know it as I am making It,
sometimes before. That Is, I know I am ,
going to make a mistake, but I haven't
time to stop myself.
"I think the first thing a young typist
should learn Is absolute acourscy. Speed
will com itself. Too often a beginner Is
so anxious to become a fast operator that
he forces himself at tire expense of ac
curacy. This is a fatal mistake, because
once that bad habit Is acquired it is al
most impossible to break It.
"I think It Is best to practice from all
kinds of copy. For my part, I make use
of newspaper stories more than anything
else. Working over set exercises like
"Now is tho time for all good men to
come to the aid of their party" has very
little value.
"I do not use any mark to keep my
place In my copy. Some operators make
use of liners or other dovlces. I never

lose my place, because 1 never take my
eyes off the copy. I Just simply road
along almost as rapidly as 1 should if I
were not transcribing.
."I place my typewriter so that the lower
bank of letters Is on a level with my el
bows, I always sit erect and move as I
find It comfortable. This, 1 think, Is
merely a matter of comfort, for two of
my nearest competitors sit In an entli-ely
different attitude; one absolutely erect,
not moving by a hair's breadth In an
hour; the other Is all humped over his
machine. Personally I think a woman
should always sit as erect as possible to
preserve her health and figure.
"Strength In the hands and arms Is the
most valuable requisite one can possess.
Exercises or housework which employ the
muscles of the arms and hands are vary
valuable, and every typist should give
some attention to this matter.
"The stroke should be a sharp staccato
blow to the key. The finger must not
linger on n letter. I take the letters off
my machine and substitute celluloid raps,
as being more comfortable for the finger
tips.
"In dosing 1 want to lay streps upon
the necessity of having the typewriter ab
solutely clean. I am astonished when I
gl Into business offlres to see tho condi
tion In which the average operator keeps
his machine. It Is Impossible to work
fast on a dirty, sticky typewriter, and a
blurred letter Is a disgrace to the operator
and to the firm for which It Is written."
Suitors Aronnrt the Unatar Parrel.
Coming home from' a swarm of suitors,
Mrs. William Hays Chapman, the young
wllow of a Brooklyn dry goods merchant
who died about a year ago and left her
$10,000,000, was a passenger on the M&ure
lanla, arriving from Liverpool.
Rumors of her engagement to a num
ber of titled men In Europe were rablod
from abroad fequently during tho sum
mer. Mrs. Chapman denies all of the
rumors, although In regm-d to the possi
bility of her engagement to General A.
Do Teheiep-Srlrldovitch, of the Rtistilnn
army she was not so pissltive. As to
the reports that she might marry Lord
Falconer or Lord K Inters, she said they
were not true.
"Of course they asked me." she re
marked, "as did a great many others, but
I could not marry them all, could I? It
was really dreadful the way I was be
sieged. Pleaders for the advancement of
bankrupted lords snd dukes sent me let
ters, and some of the men In want wrote
to me themselves. I had to change my
address and hide from them all.
"There's nothing of a serious nature do
ing with the lords, though rumor has
had me engaged to them," she said, ad

hair with her slim gloved hand.
"But the general aht He Is such a
general. He Is the greatest man In Rus

so noble."
"But are you engaged to him?" bra
senly asked the reporter.
Mrs. Chapman studied the end of her
tapering forefinger, tapped her shapely foot
on the spotless deck -and smiled ever so
coquetlshly.
"Well, now am IV she countered. "Tou
see," she went on, "the general Is coming
here next month"
"To marry you," Interjected the reporter.

The high priestess of sweeping, dusting,
washing, etc., on the woman's page has
broken out with a cheering bit of news
which puts a cottage at $1W per right up In

In all gymnasia that a constant, firm
grasp on any hard object has that effect.
She declares that If the housewife keeps
her knees from bending she can pick up
all the plus she liken from the floor, and
the picking will only add symmetry to her

leaning Is done from tho geographical me

The most remarkable man In Belleville.
111.. Benjamin West, who Is 7 years old,
straight as a soldier and spry as a kitten,
has at la Ht given the world the secret of
his longlvtty.
Her It Is: '
' PIN.
Liesplte the fact that pie, in a double
sense, la about the shortest thing there Is,
It will make you live longest If you stick
to It as a steady diet, Mr. West says.
Any kind of plo will do, from Washing
ton pie to lemon meringue. All are equally
stimulating and helpful, says this wonder
ful old man.
Mr. West was formerly a merchant In
Belleville, but he retired In 1WH and has
since lived In Mlnneapolla. Twice each
year he conies to Belleville to visit his son,
Robert. :
"I'm going to have a centennial myself
In three years and 1 want to get some
pointers," he said Tuesday.
"Rules of health? Well, I can't say that
I have any. 1 have Just lived a prudent
Ilia.
"I never miss my three big mrals a day.
Next to pie I like vegetables bat as a
steady diet. I am not a vegetarian, but I
hav proved In my own case at least that
vegetables are the healthiest food. I eat
milk and eggs, but 1 like cabbage, beets,
turnips, corn and potatoes muoh better."
Mr.' West says that ho has not been III a
day for many years. As a young man he
was sickly and It was predicted he would
die before he was SO.

Miss Ella M. Haas, an Inspeotor of work
shops In Ohio, said at the Washington
meeting of the American Federation of La
bor, that sending girls out into the world
unprepared for and of life's vlssltudes
was the primary reason for the wide prev
alence of the dlvoroe aotlonB, This might
have been controverted, she said, If the ed
ucation of these girls had been along tech
nical rather than classical lines. Girls are
not eduoated along domestic, lines, and chil
dren are being turned out by the thousands
not equipped for Ufa's battles. She de
clared that the wonderful advance of the
nation In Industrial work makes It neces
sary that girls have Industrial educations.
Won by Attractive Advertising;.
Advertising payst This Is the succinct
conclusion reached by Miss Sophronlsba P.
Breckinridge In the third of her series of
lectures on the "Modern Household" at the
University of Chicago, reports the Inter
Ocean.
According to the lecturer women never
stop to question whether an advertised arti
cle Is needed or within their financial reach.
Instead of spending a brief minute in think
ing the matter over they use that space of
time In getting nearer tbe goal the bargain
counter.
Miss Breckinridge declared that women
tush headlong Into the crowded aisles of
the bargain 1 centers buying everything In
sight, provided everything In sight Is freely
advertised.
Not that the women need the thousand
and one things their hearts long for, but
that these articles are advertised 2 cents
cheaper in one place than In another, with
the result that because the price Is reason
able they purchase. Attractive advertise-
assumed to be exactly the right thing In
turbana.
Occasionally you come across a turban
which is quite charming a swathed mass
of black velvet closely embracing a fair
baby face with enormous eyes, a pa'.ct.
and flotsy, not fluffy, very pule blond
hair. The suburban type often strays In,
a skimpy, home made affair, obviously
afraid of Itself.
A thing which adds to the pleasing va
riety of tho turban Is that It is adlusted at
every 'angle porslble to the human head. It
may be seen resting on the nose or droop
ing wearily on the back of the neck, riot
ously cocked over one ear or set math
ematically straight. But all these ways
have their drawbacks, because if you wear
It pitched over the eyes you look depraved.
If you let It fall on the neck you look
foolish. If cocked on one side you look
flustered, and If perfectly straight you
look prim.
There Is no doubt, one perfect and unas
sailable angle at which to wear a turban
and look well In It, but It Is hard to dis
cover. The best authorities agree that
whether you can wear a turban or not Is
purely a question of chin, that being
about the only feature of the face that Is
much In evidence. A chin too long or too
short, projecting or retreating, Is com
bined with a turban at your own risk,
while a nice, round, firm chin with a
dimple in It is likely to go well with that
or any other headgear.

ftperlflosdons of (be Model If.
Font Interesting masculine views an to
what constitutes an Ideal helpmate were
stated recently by the Rev. rr. Forrest B.
Imager of St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal
church, Philadelphia, who preached on "A
Model Wife." At his request various male
members of the congregation sent him let
tors expressing their opinions on this In-
tarestlng subject, and these he read, to
the great wonder snd edification of the
large number of women present. Some of
the views expressed follow:
An Ideal wife would not spend 25 a week
on a 130 salary.
One who does not spend thre parts of
her time gadding with the neighbors.
One who has the breakfast dishes washed
when her husband comes home for supper.
On who keeps her home neat and tidy.
One who does not harass the life and
soul out of a man.
On who enjoys his prosperity and Is
ready to sympathize with him In advarslty,
and helps to make tha horn happy.
On who thinks mor of her children than
of a bull pup.
A woman with more gray matter In hor
upper story than red paint on her busy
body face. ,
A woman who dresses well is remembered
mor for herself than her clothes.
A woman who cares more for her home
and children than for afternoon bridges
and parties.
A woman who does not consider her home
complate when It consists of her self, her
husband and a dug.
A woman who reads, understands and
obeys her Bible.
Dr. Dagor In his sermon advocated a
combination of the Ideas presented. Kspe
daily should a woman be neat and tidy,
keep herself nicely dressed, always have
the meals ready when her husband arrives
home, love her children and home, read
her Bible faithfully and go to church reg
