TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY UK?: FEBRUARY 13, 1910. WOMAN IN BUSINESS WORLD Daughter! Should Be Trained to Earn Their Own Living. ECONOMY IN COOKING A LOST ART Extravagance an Wite Knapfcaalaed by rrriral Mlh Price and the (oinplalat of Virrltr of KooJ. In recounting lomt Of the lesson learned In the buslnes world. Eleanor B. Richard son. In the Bookkeeper, cite these: When ever I read article written by business women wherein the writer certifies her in tention to keep her daughter out of work by which the mother haa supported the family. I thing; of a melancholy example of the folly of such practice which once came to my notice. A woman left a widow with two amall children nobly net to work and by unceasing effort succeeded In educating them and keeping them In what she called "their proper social circle." The daughter nas sent to a select private school and after her school days were over returned noma to pees her days In "elegant leisure" until the time came when ahe fulfilled her own and her mother's dearest ambition by marrying a man of "excellent position. " The mother was quits as delighted as the daughter over the match until Kate, who has a scurvy way of turning Joy to sor row. .- played one of her tricks upon the daughter. The man proved on acquaint ance 'to be decidedly short on morals, a fact which his long pedigree scarcely served to balance. After a few years of married unhappiness the young wife found herself obliged to earn her own living, and In great bitterness of spirit st to work In another city to earn her living In the same manner In which her mother before her had done, only for a much less salary. From my work I have become convinced that because a woman achieves financial and mental Independence It by no means follows that she need lose a whit of her feminine perceptions and refinements. As I think over the long list of splendid women of all ages and conditions whom 1 have known In the business world It seem to me It would be, difficult to find an qual number of women In any sphere of life who possess more of the spirit of trim womanliness. And by true Womanliness 1 mean not alone nobility of character, but all those dainty personalities of mind, body and soul which' are and wlway will be the everlasting Joy and distinction of the true woman. There comes to my mind In this connection a certain gentlewoman of my acquaintance who for over twenty years haa worked In the office of a certain con cern, and though her work is essentially masculine In its nature and her days are passed entirely, among men, I never knew a gentler or more delicate personality than hers. Violets,, which she keeps always on her desk, aro quite as fitting to her in the environment of an office, as they would be had she never passed out of the luxuri ous surroundings of her youth. A Lost Art In the Home. .Some, reported utterances of Archbishop Ireland, provoked by the meat boycott, hut dealing with a more Important and funda mental mafter. aaya the New York Tribune, will etrlke sympathetic chords In many heart and should lead to practical efforts ftor ' the correction of a great evil of American domestic life. The high prices of meats are deplorable, but still worse, in Ir. Ireland's view, are the extravagance and waste of American housekeepers and their Ignorance of, the neglected art of cooking. Nor Is the reference solely to the rich,' w'hose extravagance Is often de scanted upon with all manner of variations and embellishments. ' People of. moderate and even scanty means are among the worst sinners. They do not know how to pui chase economically, or do not care to do so. and they do not know how to make the best use of that which they do pur chase. That is the Indictment that . domestic economy, at any rate In the larder and the kitchen, has become almost a lost ait In America and to It we fear there must bo widely entered a plea of guilty. We should not say that the art was never known and practised here, because a gen eration or two ago the American house wife possessed, and we believe deserved, a reputation for much efficiency and some degree of thrift. But times have changed. The same tendenc y which has led so many young men awuy from farms to over crowded professions or underpaid mer cantile employment has led young women to shun the occupations of the home, and particularly of the kitchen, In favor of work In factories, shops or offices. . More and more domestic duties have been In trusted to alien hirelings, whose employers, because of their own lack of information and experience In such tilings, are unable properly to direct them or supervise them. And, finally, .with the Increasing scarcity and uncertainty of such domestic service as atill exists, the home has largely lapsed In favor of the hotel. It haa often been remarked, without much exaggeration, that a French family would live in luxury on that which an American family wastes. It haa more often and atlll more truthfully been observed by practical workers among' the poor that one of the greatest needs ia that these shall be taught how to buy food Judiciously and how to prepare It properly. The problem Is a perplexing one, because the number of those who are-competent to contribute to It solution is so small. Hut it Is one of the' crucial problems of our social and domestic existence, and Is worthy of the best thought of all who are sincerely striv ing for a betterment of the conditions of Lady Will Send Free to Any Suffc er the Secret Which Cured Her. From childhood I was distressed and hu miliated by an unwelcome growth of hair on my face and arms. I tried all the de pilatories, powders, liquids, creams and other rub-on preparations 1 ever heard of, only to make it worse. For weeks I suf fered the electric needle without being rid of my blemish. I spent a great deal of money on various things In vain, until a friend recommended a simple preparation which succeeded where all else fuilod. Thl almple remedy enabled me perman ently to find entire relief from all trace of unwelcome hair, and forever end all eni baraaamenl. It Is simple, esfe, sure and can be used privately at home, without fear i.f pain ur blemish. It makes tho ele:lric needle, entirely unnecessary. I mill lell In detail full particulars to en able any other sutterer to achieve the same happy results as I did. All I a-xk Is a two rent stamp for reply. Address Caroline Osgood, IS.' T. old T.

The Iiepartment of Agriculture Is of opinion that the cookbooks do not tell all the truth, sol It has commissioned Mm. Mary illnmail Abel to Investigate condi tions In the pantry. Mrs. Abel's conclu sions are contained In a pamphlet entitled "Care of Food In the Hojne," which the secretary of agriculture will furnish for nothing on application. "Countless numbers of tiny living things called micro-organisms, a word meaning simply 'small living things.' are every where found which will grow In the food man has prepared for his own use and cause It to spoil." says Mrs. Abel. "In deed, the kind of food required by man and animals seems to be that which Is best suited to these microscopic plants. It Is this very demand for highly organised food which brings them Into such close rela tions lo all problem Jhat concern the food of man. These microscopic plants flourish In the kitchen, storeroom, ice box, mllk room and cellar. If the conditions are favorable, they reproduce themselves with Incredible rapidity, one bacterium In- a day producing l.ttin.OOO more minute plants like itself. "Molds, yeafis and bacteria may be found In the cleanest room, but they exist In far greater numbers In dirty quarters, where, for Instance, crumbs of food have been allowed to decay and dust to ac cumulate. Not only do the mlcro-organ-Isms appropriate our food, with the result that the fiod sours, rot or putrefies, but they sometimes. In addition, leave behind disagreeable consequences, like the musty and moldy odor and flavor of some spoiled foods, or the substances called ptomaines, which are sometimes poisonous." A Girl's Pael Revere Hide. MIhs Alice M. Trimble, a pretty Trenton (.V. J.) girl, proved herself a real heroine when she rode Portico, a valuable horse, a distance of twenty-five miles to save her motlwr and little sister from possible death. Miss Trimble and her family were vis iting relatives at Klrmlngton. Her mother and sister were suddenly Uken 111. and as it was Impossible to get a physician In tho vicinity the girl, who Is a brave horse woman, volunteered to ride to Trenton In order to summon the family physician. Her relatives did not want her to under take such a journey, ajone, but their per suasions could not deter hrr from her pur pose, and she undertook the ride.- As It seemed to her to be a ride against death she mnd-i Portico let oti.t his full speed, and although severalj times the animal al most threw her she reached the city In record breaking time, and soon afterward Dr. James Uoidon was speeding on his way In an automobile to the bedsides of his patients. Kxpauslon of Dressmaking;. More and more nowadays Nsw York women buy their everyday gowns ready made, and go to some expensive dressmak ing establishment for their dinner and evenlnggowns. A dressmaker who' began' in a humble way some years ago. and whose real talent In her profession was rewarded by her customers refusing to disclose her Identity to their friends, woke up one morning to her situation. -"It came to me." she said, "that I might So on forever dolus work by 'tee day at two-and-a-half a day unless I got up and evolved a business head. I had some money in the bank and I borrowed morer In the recklessness of inexperience. "One thing: I had sense enough to do to hire a floor In a good building in the Fortes, a street crowded with tailor mil linery and dressmaking shops. I agreed to pay $1,500 a year rent. I covered my win dows with good looking lace and furnished my reception room In mission. I made a deal with a fashionable tailor to make the waists to match his suits New York women who dress well still go to a tailor. I sent out announcements and had ' my windows discreetly lettered In -gold. ' "My. old customers came at first, looked around, sniffed, and ordered a gown apiece. Not one of them suggested buying the ma terials herself, although In my former days, none of them had allowed me to fur nish the materials and so gain my dress maker's commission. It costs the customer no more and I make money thereby, but they would not do It until I set up an es tablishment Then they beoame lambs they acquired a respect for me when my prices went up. Women are funny. . "I didn't have time to worry about my expenses. From the start I was busy-so busy that 1 hadn't time to make many at tractive models to stand about In my re ception room. I had no money to buy any French models, but wait two years I In tend to go abroad In two years. Instead of models, I showed inquiring women gowns I had In. the work. One of my old customers In return for whose kindness to me my prices do not rise even allowed two women to see her fitted one day. I'm a good fitter they came back and gave me two orders. "I have gotten In with some western I people the daughters are here at school. For Instance, one girl of 18 came in the other day to be fitted for a chiffon cloth waist she had ordered to go with a tailor suit. She had stipulated the color and that It must have some hand embroidery upon it that was all. Casually enough, at .the second fitting, she said, "Oh, madaAne, how much are you going to charge me for this waist?' " "Fifty dollars,' I answered as casually, my mouth full of pins. " 'AH right," she answered, 'I just wanted to know. You see, I live on an allow ance!" "Oh, there's room, here In New York, for the big dressmakers, plenty of them, but the little ones are hunting Jobs." A Female Sherlock Holmes. I Five hundred shoplifter have been caught by New York' star girl detective, a young woman of mystery, employed In one othe big department stores In Sixth avenue. Bhe Is feared by all professional feminine thieves, most of whom are In delibly marked . In the memory and "camera eye" of this remarkable disciple of Sherlock Holmes. "You know my face Is my fortune, Blr," said the young worqan, laughingly, by way of explaining the mask. "A it's the only one I have, I cannot afford to publish It." The young woman consented to pose for the Evening Telegram photographer, how ever, wearing her mask. In which effective disguise a continuation of her useful occu pation li assured. "If a gill haa a touch of velvet, an eye of I'tlitiiliig and an Intuition a keen a a as r, together with courage to put up a lively 'scrap' when occasion demands, she may make a successful detective," de clared the fair "Sherlock Holmes." I. all In Feminine Fashions. Never before hue such a winter been known, reports the New York Sun. A miracle ha come to pass and one hesitate to say what It means. It la the Informa tion la given with lowered volo that no one can find out what the style are. Thers Is a disclosure to thrill the Mood. All the men who have railed at women's extrava gance and shcepliko changeablenes and all the women who have longed to wear what suited them, regardless of It bearing on what was decreed by fashion, should enjoy this time to the fullest. It may never come again, and we ought to make the utost or it. Let U revel in the fact that very one k wearing differently cut skirts and coats and doing it with that light headedness which can only come from the knowledge that no one Is able to definitely say, "This Is out of style," or "This Is In." - Kveryone Is cautiously wearing last year's clothes, because If one has new frocks, how shall they be made? No one can tell us. No matter onwhat we decide It may at any moment be mnde wrong. In the meantime we .wait, wear" what we please, and the happiness that abounds knows no limit. ', Some people are In a dreadful pother. They have for years been following a clearly defined streams which ha suddenly spread Itself over many marshy meadows, so that everything Is slightly damp and fresh, but a strong current Is nowhere to be found. It Is most democratic In Its ef fect. We are all In the same situation, force-!! to admit that every one else may be right and we quite wrong, lenient, un certain, as smart as any one else, but not awfully smart at that. It Is like being cast on a desert Island: tlss thing one swam ashore In Is of necessity one's best dress, though on ship It might have been con sidered Informal. Fashion has receded, left us high and dry, and we are having a perfectly beautiful time feeling dashing In what under usual circumstances would be unfit for self-respecting wear. t.enres From Fashion's Notebook. Many of the new blouses are cut In Dutch neck effect. The right lensrUi for the modish string of pearls is twenty inches. A novelty In sleeves shows the shoulder seam and sleeve cut all in one. Jet necklets and collars of Jet, some with diamond clasps, are much in favor. Skirts of dancing frocks are all short this season, and distinctly clear the ground. The new soft moires are ' obtainable In all the modish tone and their variations. Smoke-colored tulle and chiffon are much trimmed with gold embroidery and net worked with Jet. Zebra striped velvet, well cut and trim med with cord braiding, makes a distinc tive gown for day reception. The latest model In turbans In very high at the back, sloping toward the front, where appears a handsome silver ornament. Plain silk and satin' skirts display dia phanous fabrics, light tinted, overlapping at the Bide, met by a cuirass of embroid ery. - Iace over-dresses are arranged with shawl-like points knotted at the ends, or caught up with wreaths of flowers, or held In place with bands in velvet or embroid ery. A tunic , requires the most perfect drap ing has all the fullness brought to the front, a point apparently enoaplrig under the belt and meeting the decolletage. This is very pretty in light oft cloth trimmed with silver lace. Many handsome evening gowns for young matrons have at distinct front breadth made with ruchlngs carried across the diaphanous material at intervals to confine the fullness, the rest of the skirt bordered with flounces at the hem and caught up on one side with a bunch of flowers. '"Tea mantle," Is the latest designation of the tea gown. The description applies to a garment cut like a long opera cloak over a plain white soft satin slip. The chiffon Is most effective In pronounced tones, for instance, vivid rose, emerald or flame color. Sequin and metallic trimming in distinctive designs contributes to the charm of such a garment which Is loose flowing, well cut and very long. Chat A boat Women. Miss Mary Montgomery, daughter of a Presbyterian minister In Turkey, has as tonished the University of Berlin with her knowledge of languages and Is now editing an oriental dictionary. Miss Elizabeth Col ton of Efest Hampton, Mm., is another llnquist. being able to express herself in fifty-four languages. Miss Klssell, connected with the Museum of Natural History In New. York, Is looked upon as an authority on the subject of tex tiles and weaving. She has recently pub lished a paper comparing the work of the Congo negro with that of other tribes. She Is making a collection of looms from all parts of the i w.or.ld. ... ... .

(Shoemaker, who for four teen years was a member of the Board of Education "of Maslllon, O., during three of which she was Its president, has Just re tired from public life. During her incum bency Mrs.. Shoemaker introduced and brought about the passage of measures which placed the public schools of Massil Ion In a class with the best in the state. WOMAN OP THE NEWEST TYPE (Continued from Page One.) may have sprung; it seems to be regarded as one of tho means toward the end. Mrs. Mackay'4 Efforts. The fashionable society leader in suf frage can hardly be mentioned without a reference to Mrs. Clarence Mackay, con spicuous for . the breadth of her activities. Interviewing governors, visiting public schools, hiring theaters for her suffrage society's meetings, giving luncheons and dinners and teas the president of the Equal Franchise society is continually evolving new methods of propaganda. It would appear that she must keep an office staff and leave no spare time for herself to accomplish what she does in the suf frage campi-.lgn. Yet the social world still claims her for Its town. It is remarkable how many hours the present day woman finds to put Into her day. Returning to the shirtwaist strike, there is . conspicuous , In its activities another type of woman, a type growing In numbers every day. This Is the woman socialist, whether she be from the masses and taught by her experiences to demand concessions from the classes, or whether she be from the classes and converted. The recent difficulty has brought out many surprising features In regard to the ability and capability of the working woman. The names of Leonora O'Reilly, Rose Schnelderman and Rose . Strunsky probably will not be forgotten for a long time; they will not let people forget them. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes had already dem onstrated what a working girl with a will could do. One W ho I la Prison. But in the trade union agitation no woman girl rather, for she Is now scarcely 19 has figured more prominently than has Elixabeth Gurley Flynn, who voluntarily adopted socialism and is devoting her life to It. Charged with criminal conspiracy, Eliza beth Flynn Is now serving a sentence of three months' imprisonment in Spokane. Wash. In November she answered a call to the editorship of the Industrial Worker In Spokane, although the five editors pre ceding her had In turn been arrested and sent to prison. It Is now Just four years since Elixabeth Flynn, a student in the Morris High school of New York City, and then only 15, began her public work. She then delivered an address, "What Socialism Will Do for Women," given under the auspices of the uclallst party. Said Elizabeth: "I once believed there were countless op portunities In our prosperous country to be successful and reach the top. These Ideas resulted from the fact that my material welfare had always been assured. "My father, a civil engineer, had always made a good salary. Suddenly our ecunoinlu condition changed. My father, defrauded of two year pay, went to law. Then I first learned that labor power Is the one commodity that can be stolen with Im punity.

Within a few. week after entering tha spcaklrg. field Miss Flynn was arrested one night for .obstructing Broadway; Then, urged by members of the socialist party to give up her public activity until she was older, she declined. She kept on and it was at a convention of the Industrial Workers of the World held in Chicago in Sjptember, 1908, that she met John Archi bald Jones, to whom she was married the following January. She haa never as sumed her husband's name, however; sho siill is Elizabeth Flynn. "Woman," she'said, "do'Am't care very n.uch for individual rights; otherwise she'd lake advantage. of present, rights which x-e now denied her. "Why doesn't woman keep her own name after marriage?' She is prevented by no law. To take a man's name is only her acknowledgment of possession " by man. Women who have outgrown the Idea that they belong ta their husbands have no ex cuse for clinging to the symbol of owner ship." Ideaa of Motherhood. Similarly radical are Miss Flynn' ideas regarding motherhood. "Wo are told." she said two year ago lo a New York audience, "that motherhood Is tho crown of woman's life and her duty to the world. Society In tha long run la the principal beneficiary. I vehemently repudiate any duty which women owe to man, society or God that would compel her to bear children. It should be a matter of choice with her always." "There are no real homes for working people under capitalism," wa 'her answer when asked whether It were not ' better for a young girl o stay at home than enter Into public life. "With the working peopiu the sacredness of a home goes for naught beslda the rude demands of the landlord." Contrary to expectation Miss Flynn is not an active suffragist; she considers working for that movement a wate of time. "It Is only organization In the Indujtilal field that will do tho working woman any good," nhe declares. "What has the suf frage ever done for the working man? Anyway, can't women fee that It '. piti fully undignified for II em to be asking man for the ballot? 1 like better the atti tude of the militant Fiiffrageae, who de mands the ballot." The new womun Is pushing steadily Into the professions. New York unHerflly has for some time permitted her to Rtudy law within its portals, and Columbia univer sity ha recently announced that at the coming i-unijner session women are to be admitted to courses In both law and mdi c!ne. The law courses will Include courses In personal property, criminal law. tan' ruiitcy and New York procedure. No doubt h-rr. as In the woman's law class of New York university, advantage will bo taken by women who do not expect to use their acquired knowledge profes sionally, but for general culture and in the management of prTfonal property and busliHss affairs. Among the alumnae of the woman's law class are Miss Helen (iould, Mrs. lave Morris, Mr. John V.
