Items of Interest for the Vomen Folk
However, simple a wedding may be,
whether the ceremony be at home or in
church, cake there must be. And as one's
purse la, fat or thin so Js the kind of cake
decided upon, for, when done'elaborAtely,
It becomes one of the most expensive Items
ot the wedding.
It is by no means necessary that there
shall be a fancy loaf on the table, but
when one can afford It the round cake It
should always be shaped thus decidedly
adds to the bridal effect. There are some
caterers who rents such loaves, for they
are not cut, and being returned Intact, may
do for more than one occasslon. But pieces
In boxes must be arranged for and these.
If cut and boxed by members of the family,
are not an- extravagance.
If ordered specially the little white boxed
may be square, heart shaped or oblong.
The latter cost lesa than any others. A
monogram done In gold script, composed
of the Initials of the last name of the
bridegroom and bride, may adorn the box.
This, like some other iiatslls, is unnec
essary, for when the boxrare tied, as they
must be, with narrow wpjfAi satin rlBbon,
they become sufficiently decorated.
It la on their departure- that the boxes
are given to guests. This Is most easily
managed by having the parcels arranged
on a smalt table by the front door, putting
one person In charge of It. As the guests
are about to go out the boxes are handed
them.
Any wedding reception, - large or small,
Is made merrier by having a white cake,
which the bride cuts. This should be round
and ornamented with Icing. In It should
be a thimble for the old maid, a coin for
the girl who will make a wealthy marriage,
and a ring for the next to be engaged.
The slices are handed first to the girls of
the bridal party, and then to the close
J
friends of the bride who may be asked to
stay. Such Invitations are informal and
are- given verbally by the bride while her
friends are at the reception.
ROSANNA SCHUYLER
Every girl ought to bear In mind that
decision Is one of the most Important at
tributes of life, and that too often the
truth Is proved of "he who hesitates Is
lost." Things should never be done by
halves; If a thing Is right to do It must be
done boldly and at once, and If it be
wrong, let it severely alone. Remember
that each day and Its actions constitute
little life, and that our whole life Is btit a
day repeated.
Short sleeves, long sleeves, and three-
quarter sleeves alt seem equally popular,
but all sleeves are somewhat fuller.

This Is not a novel expert

This reminds us that last

disgraceful way because the

laborers to remove the fall.
But, Just as soon as ths
snow had been trampled Into
a solid mass and had frosen
fast to the pavement, where It
remained till warm weather
came and nature cleared the

disappeared. From some mlra

We dreamed that we were

shade was sorrowful.

the shade of Sandy was so

Omaha business men worked
themselves into a lather as
to whether the Panama ex
position proposed for five
years hence should be held
in San Francisco or New Or
leans. Just as If it made any
real material difference where
It Is held, or what Omaba has
to say about it.
As a ' matter of fact, San
Francisco peopls don't know
there is any such place as
Omaha. They know they cross
the Missouri river somewhere
when going east to New
York, but couldn't name the
spot. And New Orleans folks
are Just aa bad. They have
developed a wonderful fond
ness for Omaha Just now, be
cause they need assistance,
or think they do. but it comes
almost as a Joke.
What Omaha needs more
than anything Just now Is a
little more activity by the
business men along lines that
tou"!h nearer at home. If we
had all our local questions
settled it might be worth while
to get busy In settling the
affairs of other folks. A
good, lively little difference of
opinion does no harm, but It
ought to be about things that
more nearly concern our city
life than where the Panama
exposition Is to be beld.

From small beKlniilngs the Smithsonian
Institution has grown to he one of the
mightiest of the world s activities In gath
ering and disseminating beneficial knowl
edge. Established through the half nill-llon-dollsr
bequest of James Smithson, It
has served to create and now leads the
scientific thought of the new world. It
has made American science respected in all
parts of the world. Some of the greatest
race-benefiting Inventions of the age may
be traced to work done at the Smithsonian
Institution, and the foundation of many
sciences wore laid here.
Joserh Henry, the first secretary of the
Institution, constructed the world's earliest
electrical magnetic telegraph. 1'pon his
theories were evolved the Hell telephone
and the Morse telegraph. The first weather
tnup published was Issued by the Institu
tion and the United States weather bureau,
recognised everywhere aa me world's lead
ing organisation for meteorological Investi
gations, had Its beginning In the activities
of the Smithsonian. The ground work of
tho presence science of fish culture Was
I laid here. Spencer F. Haird, the second
secretary of the iniUltutl n. began the ex
periments and Investigations which have
made the United States the foremost fish
ulturalist of the globe.
When Prof. Iangley built his celebrated
aerodrome and tried to fly It at Wide
Water, on the Potomio river, ho was
reatly ridiculed. As a flyer the Lansley
machine was failure, but the lessons
learned through its construction and opera
tion have formed the basis of aeronautic
lence. Those who were most skeptical
of tho Langley airship are now foremost
In honoring his memory as the futtier or
aerial navigation.
Prof. Langley mane other valuable con
tributions to general knowledge during his
ateer as secretary of the Smithsonian ln-
titutlon. He invented a little Instrument
hlch may solve somo of the most trouhle-
ome problems that confront the human
race. This instrument is Known as me
olometer, and Is so delicately constructed
that It will register the liundreu-miinontn
part of a single degree of temperature. A
plder web, the gauze of a fly s wing, a
mirror as small as a plnhead but as
perfect as a M.000 reflector, a thread of
pun glass, are some of the delicate things
which enter Into Its construction. Al
though the heat of a star Is no greater
han that of a candle at a distance of
many miles, the bolometer vmraies
markedly when ur,h a slight amount of
heat is thrown upon it.
This Instrument Is used In studying the
constancy of the sun. It long has been
reccgnixed that weather seems to move
In cycles. The bolometer has disclosed
the fact that the heat from the sun shows
marked variations. It was Prof. Lang
ley's theory that there might be a tela
ion between the variations of the heat of
the sun and the changes of the weather.
He bequeathed his investigations to Prof.
Abbott, director of the astrophyslcal ob
servatory, who now la engaged In fathom
ing tha mysteries of solar radiation. It Is
thought that1 the lessons he learned may
yet enable scientists to forecast th weather
as accurately as they forecast the eclipse
of the sun or tho coming of a comet.
The advantages which would accrue from
an accurate forecast of the weather are
manifold. The farmer could know whether
the season ahead of him was to be a 'wet
one or a dry One, and could plant such
crops aa would be most advantageously
grown under such conditions. The ship
owner could know whether It was safe for
his vessels to leave port, the big conven
tlons could be held on fair days, and In
a thousand ways this knowledge could be
used In the advancement of the welfare
of mankind.
Through the"bureau of ethnology the
songs, customs and traditions of the
aboriginal Americana are being preserved.
Handbooks dealing with Indian languages,
Indian arts and' Indian habits are being
published. Through the national soologlcal
tarh there Is being gathered together one
of tho finest collections of wild animals
In the world. From every continent and
almost every country species that are rare
and Interesting have come to enrich the
collections at the national zoo. The Roose
velt African expedition gathered many
interesting specimens of birds and animals
for this collection.
No finer museum for scientific research
is to be found anywhere In the world than
the National Museum, maintained under
the Jurisdiction of the Smithsonian Institu
tion. Here one may see men and women
from every part of the world engaged In
studying the various collections. The di
vision of economic geology contains more
that a half million different exhibits, and
holds the world's first rank among all ex
hibits of this kind. One may find any
sort of exhibit from a huge meteorite to
a few grains of sand. Its collection of
meteorites ranks nest to the one In Vlenn.i.
Scientists are continually studying It In
the hope of finding the source of their
origin. One may se the skeletons of ex
tinct animals, so large that the elephant
looks small In comparison. He may stand
tinder the skeleton of a huge whale more
than a hundred feet long, and look through
a microscope at sea shells so small that
to the naked eye they seem but specks of
dust.
No collection In the museum Is more in
teresting to the ordinary visitor than the
anthropological exhibit. Here one may
trace human progress from the stone ago
existence of his antediluvian ancestors to
his own twentieth century civilization. Like,
wise he may trace. In other collections,
the development of the arts and sciences.
Ho may follow ship-building from tha rud
hollowed-out log to the perfected ocean
greyhound. He may trace the sit ot
printing from the roughest wood-type to
the finest ste.1 engraving.
The collection of bluls in the National
Museum contains OO.U) different exhibits,
Tliore are 13.100 known species of birds and
nearly every one Is represented. The col
lection of Insects Is also a large and valu
able one. There may be seen huge bugt
as large a the hand and tiny ones as small
as a pin's head. Some of them are un
usually Interesting. The Hercules beetl
is the world's original sawyer. He has
manlbles which ae fitted with saw teeth.
Ho grasps a twig with these and fliei
round and round until he succeeds In saw
ing It off. The Bombadler bug Is the orig
inal shooting Instrument of the world.
When attacked by an enemy it fires a wad
of blue smoke with a report that sorves
to give It protection.
Through the International exchange ser-
Ice of the Smithsonian institution un
United States Is able to keep In close touoh
with scientific progress In other parts of
the world. It Is the mission of this ser
vice to supply other scientific Institutions
of the world with such American scientific
literature as may be of Interest to them. In
exchange for this they deliver to the Smith
sonian Institution similar publications, and
these are deposited In the library of con
gress. Fifty-three full sets and thirty par
tial sets of all official publications of the
United States are now being sent to other
countries. In return, there Is being deliv
ered Into the custody of the Smithsonian
Institution a similar number of sets of
the official publications of other coun
tries. These 'are of great value to stu
dents of political and economic conditions.
The American end of the work of the in
ternational catalogue of scientific litera
ture Is carried on under the direction of tha
institution. This catalogue Is a classified
author and subject catalogue of all orig
inal scientific papers published throughout
the world since ltfuO. There is a regional
bureau In every principal country, which
Indexes the scientific literature of that
country. All of these regional Indexes
are delivered to the central bureau In Lon
don, where they are assembled,, edited,
and published annually In seventeen vol
numes. The cost of printing and publish
ing Is met by the sale ot the catalogue.
Every scientific Journal In the world Is
examined with patience and a record mado
of each article. This catalogue, beginning
with the opening year of the twentieth
century, will be a complex Index of all the
scientific thought of the world during ths
years covered by It, As It is to be a per
petual catalogue the scientists of the fu
ture will be able to take advantage of al)
scientlflo Information that accumulates
from the beginning of the century.
It Is the aim of the institution to diffust
knowledge as well as to add to it. There
fore, reports of its work are published and
placed In the libraries of ths country
where serious students may at all timer
have access to them. One of Its publica
tions Is the annual report. This gives i

Fall Footwear
In the new display of fall footwear there
are to be seen several charges as com
pared with last year's fashions, both In re
gard to the styles and the materials em
ployed. It Is expected thst the most popular
shoe will be tho cravonetto. The fabric Is
waterproof and, owing to the ease with
which It can be cleaned and the general
softness of a woven material. It Is reason
able to expect it will meet with women's
approval. A w hlsk broom or a clothes
brush will quickly remove dust, mud or
the average soil. It Is said that cravenette
will give as good service as kid, and In
sumo cases better, because It does not re
quire a dressing, and some of the polishes
are known to be Injurious to leather.
The entire shoe is of the cravenette, with
trimmings of leather In strap or narrow
band effect, with soles In two weights,
medium and fairly heavy. Thers are also
two styles, one cut extremely high and the
other of medium height for wear with the
skirt of average walking length. The but
tonholes are finished with a scalloped fly,
and the newest thing In boot buttons Is the
smoked pearl. The cravenette shoes are
fitted With both the smoked pearl and the
blank buttons.
The heels are In Cuban style, but are
higher than those worn last year. From
one and one-half to two Inches high is the
average.
Another new walking shoe, or rather boot,
ts made from buckskin. It haa all the
appearance of suede, but will wear much
better and Is also heavier, making It more
suitable for autumn wear. It haa the
favored short vamp and Is twelve-button
length. The heels ars high.
A novel design In a high shoe is of health
calf, so named because the leather Is some
what parous, admitting the air freely,
which keeps the fojt cool, and so will be
welcomed by those persons who suffer from
burning feet The shoe is fitted with
high arch, Cuban heel and is slanted at tht
top in such a way that the front of tha
shoe Is higher than the back.
This list includes footwear for general
street and shopping wear, though Just a
few Oxfords In a fairly heavy weight are to
be worn. Some women prefer this cut all
the year around, and so must be cstered to.
For strictly dress wear afternoons an
evenings boots of velvet or satin are th
newest. The satin Is of a very dull naturr
so that the feet will not look unduly largr
the buttons are of cut Jet and either aho
can be had In both light and heavy soles
The velvet Is supposed to be a little warmer
that the satin.
A very neat looking pair of black satin
slippers for house or evening wear has a
single strap, beaded. The price Is S.
A very nice looking shoe for afternoon
street or for house wear is In soft kid.
the heels In Cuban style, two Inches high!
and made with turned sole. These are ex
tremely good value for IU per pair.
For forrual evening wear the high cut
boot of softest kid, beaded and slashed
from the toe upward to display the stock
ing, la considered very smart. The boot
Is held by four straps which button over,
and can be had In black, bronse, gold and
gray.
A few slippers are seen in the Persian
effects. These are Justly considered nov
elties, and the same may bfl said of the
brocades aa a covering.
A lovely bit ot new footwear that will
become staple, I am sure, is a satin
boudoir slipper, soft and flexible, yet
warm and comfortable for the Insole as a
cushion quilted.
A variety of dlferent colors ts to be had,
and for traveling there Is nothing more
convenient, for the slippers come in cases
made from satin of the same color, and
told Into a small flat package that will
take ui very little room In a suit case.
The price, including the rase, Is only $2 60.
