Realist," is reproduced in full page. The writer of these articles is Mr. Will Jenkins, who opens with the foundation of daily press illustrating, its staff scheme, lightning methods of work, processes of reproduction va "half etc. Mr. Jenkins writes: "The able mantiT in which news events are illustrated in the pages of the daily papers in America has been made possible by two principnl influences.

Firstly, tho development of public interest in pictorial matter brought, about, by the magazine which had so largely opened thpir pages to the clover black ml white draughtsmen of the time; and. a more vital reason, thiu nf a national characteristic of deeply interested curiosity. which makes tho American mind so keenly rrspons.ve to "live news," eager for detail, and quick to gru sp the anecdotal side of pictorial art. Thus the 'illustrated' newspaper has become a component part nf the social condition of the American people. One paper after another took up the idea until newspaper publishers and editors, appreciating the v.

ihie of pictorial expression of news, have come to consider an 'art' staff a necessity. Sonic of tho adventures of the 'knights of tho sketch lin.ik' are indeed exciting, and the.r exploits are often varied with much danger, humor or pathos." The remainder of the June Studio is devoted to illustrated articles on the work of the Gorman painter, R. jbert Sterl. and of the Dutch painter. Edmnnd Van Hove: a series HEBREW ETHICS AND THEOLOGY.

A New Volume in the Semetic Series by an Eminent English Professor A Study of the Old Testament. Among the many recent publications which show that the prevailing tendency of modern biblical scholarship Is along the line of "Higher Criticism," the latest, and one that takes very advanced ground, is "The Theology and Ethics of the Hebrews," by the Rev. Archibald' Duff. M. LL.D..

professor of Old Testament theology in the Yorkshire Incited Independent College, Bradford, England. This book, which Is the latest issue in "The Semitic Series." 'has a caption which is misleading; it treats of the theology and ethics of the ancient Hebrews, at least up to the time of the Exile. As the author says: "The Hebrew religion and ethical lite reached a culmination In the Exile. In the ideais of the Slave Singer, which are almost identical with those of Jesus, five centuries later. The men who had reached this height went out or remained out in the world doing their work of evangel; they were necessarily lost to history so far as they were Hebrews.

In tbem Hebrew re llglon and ethics attained their climax, completion and close. Our volume, therefore, ceases at that climax." Moreover Professor Duff declares that "a true exposition of the; religion and ethics of the Hebrews must be a narrative of a constant movement, Consequently our exposition must! prove to be a vision of a steady progress of I religion through the ages. The movement and development of men are seen truly only in tneir own utterances, not in what chroniclers have said of them. Therefore in our pages we try to let the thinkers' own words be read. This becomes the more imperative to day when the careful student of texts and times tells us that the traditional views of those have been mistaken, and that much re arrangement of passages is necessarv if wc are to read the words of the original writers as they were written.

The case becomes very serious when we deal with the Pentateuch and other narrative books. These are composite works, and the various elements in them belong to different writers and different periods of time. 4 Concerning the Deuteronomlsts the case Is more difficult. In thlR vnl ume the first efTort has been made to show In restored form the original documents from which our Deuteronomy has been constructed. It is the more important to do this, even at cost of pome space, because the opinion is gaining ground that Josiah's reformation.

622 B. C. must have been the outcome of the religious movements of the century of the great prophets, 800 to 700 B. C. Still many.

and. indeed, most scholars hesitate to study that century in the light which that book throws back upon It. The present author has, therefore, felt it a duty to give in this volume especial attention to Deuteronomy." In doing this Professor Duff has followed the analysis by Professors Staerck and Steuernagel. Regarding the book of Job Professor Duff says "there were doubtless more writers than one; the book, as it lies before us, is the answers" to the exilic problem "of several men woven of course the "Holiness law" is similarly considered bv Professor Duff as it is by all the school of "Higher indeed, he declares "in Its present form it is a composite work, much of it bring Aaronitic and of the time between the exile and Alexander, but there was a work used in the composition of it which is very certainly much earlier, post Josian and post Deutoronomlc indeed, yet singularly analogous to the work of Ezekicl and doubtless related to his nge; its spirit and its language show this; it is. indeed, not homogeneous, for it incorporates documents which were never written as parts of one and the same continuous, treatise; they disregard each other too much for that." In this spirit the author discusses "Early Hebrew Life: Its Religion and Morals." "The Early Narrative Literature." containing expositions of the religion of the Yahwistie literature and the ethics of the Yahwistie school, "The Prophets of Goodness," Amos.

Hosea. and Isaiah, their ethics and theology, "The Formal Doctrinal Teachers." the Deuteronomlsts, their theology and ethics. "The Theology and Ethics of the Period of Political Reorganization in Judah" as shown In Nahum. Zephaniah. Jeremiah, Habnkkuk and Obadiah.

and "Religion and Ethics In the there are added appendices containing "Analytical Contents of the Yahwistie Narrative."

BERLIN Imperial Health Office expertB have published the results of protracted experiments to determine the effect of borax on the human Tests were made upon four men for two years. They have proved that borax retards the assimilating of albumen and fats and interferes with the renewing of tissues. A single dose of borax remains in a man's body eight days.

WINDSOR, ONT. Physicians of Windsor and the vicinity are much puzzled over the case of John Redmond of Anderdon. a wealthy farmer fifty four years old, who fell asleep nine days ago and has not awakened. All efforts to restore him to consciousness have been unavailing. Redmond walks In his sleep, drinks frequently, but cats little or no food, which causes the doctors to fear for his life.

Mule Pack Train Bobbed of $100,000. DURANGO.

Of the Latin Quarter. A story of the Latiu rjunrter of Paris, its people and Us doings is told in "The Honor of the Braxtons." which is a novel by J. William Fosdlck.

Felix Braxton was a Virginian, who had come to Paris to study. He was poor but ambitious, and when he look a scholarship and came to France in the steerage he felt sure that his obscurity was only for a time and that the honor of the Drax tons would be justified when ho should have made himself famous with his great pictures. But the career of Felix is long and varied. Ho falls iu with quest ionahle companions, and the models he selects do not help him to make the fame he dreamed of nor to vindicate the judgment of those who gave him his scholarship. He becomes discouraged, but he is saved by the love and belief of a woman who has known him long and watched his career.

In desperate mond he paints a final picture and then falls sick and dies, and when his pictures and effects are sent borne to Virginia it is found that this last picture is really the great masterpiece of which he dreamed. "The honor of the Braxtons Is at last gloriously maintained, the false, unjust cloud under which he had left his father swept away, and the world better for the creation of a noble masterpiece." And whon the woman who had believed in him sat and looked at his great picture, "she thought of how Felix's genius had fixed upon canvas the face of his ideal. Sho thought of his terrible awakening, then the long, hopeless stretch of months, the disgrace of an unfulfilled scholarship hanging over him. his ideal ever with him crying out for expression, in spite of the inking heart, the suspended sword. She saw his 'Psyche' in all her innocent loveliness looking out from the obscurity of a little Norman cottage loft.

"She sees a dear, pale, distraught face peering out of the attic's gloom. She hears his cry, a yearning, pleading voice begging her not to cast him off, and her hands seem to be caressing the sunny head, he sitting at her feet." So Felix Braxton, it appears, saved his honor and helped the world to a fine work of art in his last attempt. The work is enriched with many fine reproductions of photographs of French villages and country scenes, the places where Felix lived and worked. (J. F.

Taylor $1.50.) A Homely Story. Beatrice Whitby, who wrote "The Awakening of Mary Fenwlck," has a new novel called "Flower and Thorn," which is a simple story of love, Jealousy and renewed confidence. David Guthrie is a stolid, unimaginative man. whose wife is a capricious, fanciful woman, who loves him truly, but is jealous of all his family and friends. Mrs.

Mallon, his commonsense. practical cousin, is the special object of her jealousy and unkind thoughts. David Is a soldier, and on slight pay. and his wife has no idea of managing a "small inc.ime. or making borne pleasant without means, and things go from bad to worse until Mrs.

Mallon, David's cousin, helps helps to settle. the household with her shrewd sense, and practical methods of doing things. This help Valerie resents, thinking it interference, but as she is obliged to accept the help she dors so. still feeling hurt against the one who offers it. Reconciliation is only effected when David is sent to the South African war.

and Valerie in his threatened danger, forgets her anger. The story looks forward a bit. for it brings David home again, crowned with honors, and the war And long before Valerie has become satisfied that Jane's helplessness and managing qualities are offered with the best intentions. And everything ends in the happiest manner in the last chapter. (Dodd, Mead Co.

It shows a daffodil yellow shirt waist of silk lawn. This is trimmed with lace put on In festoons around the yoke. The sleeves arc mandolin slees, slit at th back with lace or lawn pulled through tho opening, so as to tall in a bag at the outside of the wrist. With the daffodil yellow shirt waist there ifc a ping pong coat in yellow taffeta ot a deeper shade trimmed with an elaborate set of black silk bows, put on down the front in double rosette fashion, the bows facing each other, opposite the opening. Long ends trail, of course, down each side of the front.

Then there is a hat of black crln trimmed with daffodils and there are black silk stockings with a bunch of daffodils growing so high that, you do not suspect they are there. Nothing remains to be supplied but the skirt and the happy owner of this daffodil set can pick and choose between a black taffeta or a daffodil yellow face cloth. Perhaps she will want to come out In a white pongee for the white pongee skirt will be seen this summer. FOR A COUNTRY WEDDING. An effective arrangement of wild flowers and garden blossoms attracted much attention at a June wedding a year ago celebrated at the country home of the bride's parents.

In the parlors, roses and other earden flowers were arranged and In the long sitting room on the ODposlte side of the hall, field flowers. Great bunche of daisies and buttercups and daisy chain effects turned the room into a veritable white and gold bower. These daisy chains were festooned about the chandeliers, wreathed the pictures and tall mirrors and produced such a charming effect that the town guests pronounced the sitting rcom far prettier than the parlors with their wreath of roses. THE SKIRT LIFT. The skirt lift is an important thing to learn, for it is so necessary a part of one's appearance in the street.

The skirt if npn. I erly raised in the middle of the back will lilt the tront also so that It will eil escape the ground. This back lift is the proper thing for the funnel or gradually sloping skirt. The straight skirt with little train and box plaited back requires the side lift. The) trait Is lifted in one hand and pulled around toward the side so as to twist it around the figure, thus lifting it.

Practice and a pier glass make perfect In lifting the train. THE NEW CHOU. The new ehou. It may be mentioned, has multitudinous ends. It seems as though there were nothing but ends to it.

Fifty Suicides in Chicago in CHICAGO Fifty persons committed suicide in Chicago during the month of May.

This is the greatest number ever recorded, according to the Health Department. Speeding Automobilists Roped In. CHICAGO With an inch rope stretched across the Sheridan road, the ends attached to a pair of stout oaks, Mayor Hergman of Winnelka, where several persons have been injured, trapped four scorching automobilists. Four policemen managed the rope trap. Another was stationed a hundred yards away with a flag to warn the scorchers.

Three refused to take notice of the manwith the flag, but the rope trap was effective. Four were caught, taken before the Mayor, fined nominal sums and lectured. Later in the day the City Marshal left his post after giving instructions to his men to stop all scorchers. "If you catch any offender," said the Marshal, "get into the automobile with the operator and take htm to the Mayor." Soon a man came scorching along and refused to stop for the signals. The pair with the rope caught him.

They told him that he was under arrest, and one of the policemen told him that he would ride with him to the residence of the Mayor. "We have no room in here for you." said the operator, as he. showed the policeman that there was no room to sit between him and the woman who accompanied him. "You can walk along beside the machine. We will go slow." The policeman turned around to give some orders about the rope and the man in the automobile rushed away toward the city.

The policeman chased the fleeing machine, while the woman waved her handkerchief and told him to run faster. Looks Like Suicide by Agreement. CHICAGO A letter found on L. Wachman. a.

traveling salesman, who committed suicide in a North Clark street saloon, leads to the belief that he was a member of a New York suicide club. Wachman fell dead while being served with a glass of beer. A bottle' of poison was found on him. The letter was from T. Wulffl New York.

It was gathered that Wulff and Wachman were members of an organization, the members of which pledged themselves to end their lives. One of the passages read: "Will commit suicide at once, and I am sorry that we could not be together and end it." Bich Widow Marries Farm Hand. BOSTON The marriage of Katherine Perkins, the handsome young widow of Charles JR. Mason, millionaire, Bristol, N. paper manufacturer, who died two years ago.

to one of her farm hands, William Deeato, illiterate, but a superb athlete, has caused astonishment here, where she moved in first circles. Under the terms of Mason's will, a large portion of the estate reverts to the town of Bristol because of her remarriage. The estate is worth 000.000. A Crab Trust. LAUREL, DEL.

The latest thing in trusts is the Crab Trust, which was formed this week by packers along the Chesapeake. The new concern will be known as the Consolidated Crab Company and will open a crab houso at the west end of Shark Fin, near the head of Tangier Sound. The company has purchased a steam launch to carry the crabs from that point to Crisfleld. The Telephone Leads Her to the Jail. MOUNT VERNON Police Justice Marshall has sentenced 'Alice Myers to sixty days In the County Jail for flirting with W.

S. Wet more, a builder of Portchester, by tele waists, those in Irish crocheted and in the flower patterns of heavy variety will wash better after the lacey patterns have been traced with narrow satin ribbons. This is very good to know, for the ribbon makes the lace tougher and more durable, and if it can be easily laundered so much the better. The waist is certainly made more elegant by this tracery of ribbon. String colored lace makes up into very charming shirt waists, and now the latest cry is to trim the lace shirt waist with a sailor collar of tan linen and with tan linen cuffs.

Buttons of a light amber color are used on the waist, and there is a tall tan linen stock with a little lace point sewed on the front. The stocks are now either pulled down in front to a long point or are cut pointed to secure the long slender neck which has come into vogue with the long waist. A shirt waist that was called a "dear" was in a pinkey red hyacinth color. It was trimmed white insertion put on so that it ran round the waist, under the arms. The waist buttoned in the back and through the very open meshes of the insertion one caught a gljmpse of a beautifully finished white lawn corset cover itself elaborately trimmed with lace around the top.

The cover was all in one piece, one of those affairs gathered around the belt and around the neck, but not fitted. Strips of lace insertion go round the cover, two inches apart, end they are lined with lawn. This kind of a corset cover is really better with a blouse waist, fcr It blouses a little and seems more in keeping than one that fits snagly under the baggy outside. It must be remembered that the corset cover is at all times visible under a shirt waist of thin stuff. PRETTY COTILLON FA VORS.

Pretty prizes for a summer evening ger man are hats made of tissue paper; Some of the braid used for these hats is very elaborate and closely imitates fancy straw braid. The delicate ecru shades, the gray and white combinations, also the deep crimson and white ones, produce very realistic braids, and when sewn over wire frames these hats are specially dainty and natural looking. Paper flowers trim them. A charming hat Is made of gray straw and bunches of violets, with bows of gray crepe paper, while a red and white braid hat shows bunches of poppies and crepe paper rosettes and bows. A white hat with a wreath of roses, a black and white braid trimmed with yellow rose? and black velvet bows are other pretty designs.

A wreath of blue and white morning glories on a white hat is also attractive. JAPANESE PIN An odd and handy pin cushion is made by taking a small Japanese doll and placing it in a sitting posture. Make' a small bag and slide the doll into it as far as the waist, first stuffing the bag with bran. Dre3s the upper rart of the doll with a kimona of some bright silk, and let it fall below the waist. The bag covering should be of the same material as the kimona.

PHOTOGRAPH GLOVES. A novelty in hand coverings this season Is a' lisle thread glove with portrait tops. The glove is usually a white one and the portrait appears near the edge of the glove top, leaving a margin of white. The nhjtographing is well done and the effect is odd but fflacts MANHATTAN. Jerome Lacks Intelligence, Says Gruber.

Colonel Abe Gruber Bcored Mr. Jerome In an address at a reception given by the Young Men's and Young Women's Auxiliaries of tile newly dedicated Beth Israel Hospital. He said: "Tho man who talks of the Ghetto as an existing thins here lacks intelligence. But the people of Murray Hill and at Harvard who hear him ta(lk think there is one and get the impression that there are hundreds of thousands of Jews here, without character and sunk in degradation. To emphasize that this section is not good enough for decent people, he lives here himself, but will not bring his family here to live.

"We will fight any attempt on the part of any politician or set of politicians to make merchandise of our name or our religion. We want more work by the District Attorney and less by Mr. Jerome. He has done the Jews of the East Side greater wrongs than any public man or set of public men who ever held power. "Let us hope that the last mention has been made by a public man of the Ghetto as an existing institution in New York, and if one does mention it again, let us see to it that he gets what he deserves." Mark Twain Grows Rich "Under Rogers' Guidance.

Miss Ruth Frederic, daughter of the late Harold Frederic, the well known novelist, was robbed a few days ago of some valuable Jewelry and a handsome antique ishoe buckle, which had at one time belonged to King Charles II. Mi3s Frederic occupies a flat, with a friend. Miss Irene Hayward, at 220 West Sixty ninth street. During the absence of both young women the door was forced with the aid of a jimmy and the jewelry, consisting of a gold watch, several pins, some loose stones and the buckle mentioned, together with in money, were taken. The police were notified, but up to the present time have been unable to find any trace of the stolen articles.

She Would Not Keep Off Driveway. Miss Louisa Campbell of 31 East Seventy seventh street was arrested at the lower end of the Speedway because she refused to obey a mounted policeman and order the victoria In 'which she was riding driven off the driveway. She was escorted to the police station, where, after a delay, a Miss de Regnier of 31 East Seventy seventh street furnished bail in the sum of $500. Killed by Her Gas Stove. Mrs.

Julia Couch. 65 years old, died in Roosevelt Hospital from the effects of inhaling illuminating gas on May T. She was cooking dinner at her home, 335 West Twenty eighth street, when the tube connected with the gas stove pulled out and she received a volume of gas in the face. She fainted, and was found later on the floor of the kitchen with the room full of gas. Hospital Surgeon Apologized to Colleague.

Two weeks ago Dr. John J. Quigley, visiting surgeon, assisted by Dr. Walsh, chief surgeon, performed an operation at Ford Jiam Hospital, and during the course of it Jr. Quigley ordered Dr.

Walsh from the 'operating room when he refused to take his as to the amount of ether to be administered. Dr. "Walsh had said that he did not need instructions from the visiting surgeon. The Medical Board of the hospital sustained Dr. Quigley by suspending Dr.

Walsh for two weeks. On Saturday he was ordered reinstated on condition that he made a public apology to Dr. Quigley. Accordingly the doctors and nurses present at the operation were summoned, took their places beside the empty operating table, and Dr. Walsh, A SHIRT WAIST TALK.

Simplicity of Outline and Elaboration of Detail a Feature of the New Designs. You can get more for your money, in the shirt waist market, than in any other one department. That Is the general consensus of opinion and it is one to which most women will assent. 'One feature is particularly noticeable in the new shirt waists. They combine great simplicity of outline with great elaboration of detail.

The shape is plain, almost severe, but the goods may be inlaid with lace and the most wonderful hand trimming may be in the material. This feature is very noticeable in all the waists that one sees and it explains the elegantly simple look which even the most expensive waists have. The straight outline is preserved. More than the usual efforts are being made to preserve the busk not bust line. The Busk is the long, straight line from the bust to the abdomen.

I.t. should be unbroken by a curve and it should be kept straight whether one Is seated or standing. With, the slender figure this is easy; indeed, it is naturally straight, but where there is fullness of figure, look out for the husk line. The straight fronted corsets preserve it and there are several shapes that do this without discomfort. One must study one's shape, however, to get good results.

The girl who used to paint plaques can now turn her talent to her own personal uses. The effort which was made to introduce painted lace failed, partially because ot" the fineness of the lace that was required and partly for lack of great delicacy of treatment, i But now they are painting silk lawns and the blue silk lawn shirt waists are gay with orchids which are painted on around the waist to look as though they sprouted from the belt line. The stems are long, slender things, crooked and not very pronounced, but upon the yoke and at the back of the neck and up the vest the orchids grow In wild profusion. To assert that such a shirt waist Is not durable is to make no upon one's credulity. It is to be worn one evening: another evening, and a dance; then thrown aside to be remodeled by embroidering the orchids right over the painted ones.

Embroidery will clean, but a painted silk muslin runs small chance of coming through the mysterious ordeal with any claim to beauty. And. by the way, the cleaner keeps his processes this year as mysteriously seclude? as the secrets of the lodge room. How ht does it. what with, and whether it smells in the doing, none but he knows and he will not tell.

Should the girl with the palette and brush get gay with her colors she can tackle a mousseiine which is among the niucb cainted fabrics this year, and she can go into crepe de chine, which takes water coK ors verv well.

ANNUAL S. S.

Richmond Hill Club Women Will Review Year's Wort. The annual meeting of the Twentieth Century Club of Richmond Hill will take place next Monday afternoon at the club house on Hillside avenue. Reports from the committees of the several sections of the club will be given. The election for officers will also place. The Philharmonic Section and the Sunshine Society Section will continue active work throughout the summer, meeting the last Monday in every month.

On Wednesday evening the leader of the Twentieth Century Choral Club, Mr. Robinson will give a concert at Richmond Hill, assisted among others by Mrs. W. J. Coulson, the club pianist and accompanist.

OPEN AIR BREAKFAST ROOM. A Brooklyn family rejoices in the possession of an ornate summer house, which also serves as a breakfast room on pleasant mornings in summer. The house Is of ornate design and picturesquely placed in a large garden. Bamboo screens that roll up and down as desired shade the windows and door, and a table has been built Into the middle of the flooring. Other conveniences for the serving of a meal are racks on the wall for placing dishes which may be needed in an extra course or two and a folding side table.

In addition to serving as a summer breakfast room, Sunday night supper is also served there and 5 o'clock tea dally. The family is of German descent, which explains the fondness for eating out of doors whenever practicable. REVIVAL OF THE HANDBAG. The silk handbag is certainly revived under the name of the wrist bag. It is really a dinner ornament as well as a street one.

and particularly Is it to be worn with full diess; And this is a very pleasant arrangement. The pocket, has disappeared utterly from polite society, and for a lady to hunt her pocket would be an unheard of thing these days, a sight not seen. So the. wrist bag comes at an opportune moment, it holds the tiny handkerchief which cannot be held In the lap during dinner; and it holds any small necessity. Ladles who remove the gloves at dinner can slip them Into the wrist bag and with the new gloves it looks as though their removal were a necessity.

THE FANCY FOR BLACK. The part which black muslin is to play in the summer's 'wardrobe can be only surmised. Every modiste is making a black muslin gov. and there arc numerous gowns of this material for sale. Black muslin comes with a silky finish that makes 11 look like silk and it Is so lustrous that it takes the place of more expensive material.

It is not always cheap either, but It wears pretty well and does not cost as much as the moussellnes and crepes and the delicate light goods which it replaces. Many soiree gowns are made of blue muslin, of black muslin, of coral red muslin, and of every other color. One of these, for a summer resort belle. 13 black twlth the sides of the skirt tucked from the belt down.

In "An American at Oxford," John CorblA tells a story of Jowett, who at one time wa master of Balllol. An undergraduate named Barnes had been so independent of his tutor that he was "sent up to the head of tha college." which is not at all a promotion.

When he reported the master was writing, and merely paused to say: "Sit down, Mr. Barnes. You are working with Mr. Donkin, are you not?" The culprit said he was. and sat down.

Jowett wrote on, page after page, while the undergraduate fidgeted. Finally, Jowett looked up and remarked: "Mr. Donkin says you are not. Good morning." After that the undergraduate was more inclined to work with Mr. Donkin.

"Corner Stones," a series of sermons by the Rev. Dra. Huntington, Greer, Briggs and Ralnsford, delivered at Yale University, lias been brought cut by Thomas Whittakor. The topics are basic and characteristically treated. The same bouse announces a book on "Christian Science." by the Rev.

"Among the Constantinople Bookshops." contributed to the Juno Forum, appeals to students of literature as we) as to bibliophiles, tor it includes a notable account of present literary tendencies in Turkey tendencies so remarkable as to indicate the beginning of a real literary revival. "Marlowe," a drama in five acts, is by Jo i sephine Preston Peabody. Miss, Peabody i3 a college bred young woman having some rep i utation as a poet, in Boston. Her verse has mostly a quaintly philosophical tone which I the author once explained came of much waiting for trolley cars. This is encouraging to Brooklyn girls who aspire to write poetry.

(Houghton, IlitHin 51.10.) I ONE WRITER'S OPINION. The Business Woman's Training lit Her for Domestic Life. "I have always maintained, and my own case has proved that I am right, that a woman with brains will find her bearings If she has to keep house, even though she ha had little or no previous training," say Adelaide L. Rouse in "Cnder My Own Roof." "A business life does not unfit a woman for a domestic life. The very qualities which make her a success in business promptness, accuracy, cool judgment are needed in housekeeping.

I love to see a bookish woman manage a house well, and the sight is not so rare as the croakers would have us believe. For many years I have studied the woman question in its various phases, and I have come to the conclusion that a woman who has earned money knows the value of a dollar better than one who has never given her nerve and brain to earn one. If I were asked by a young business man to advise him in the choice of a wife, I would say, 'Marry a business woman. She knows what your salary costs you in physical or mental Then. too.

a woman who has brushed shoulders against the world will appreciate tho shelter of a home more than one who has never known what It is to miss it. "There is much nonsense written in these latter days upon many subjects, but the business woman gets more than her share of this attention. At first there was a great hue and cry for fear, her health could not stand the strain. Now the danger is that she Is going to take bread from the mouths of the young men of the period. 'She thinks she is smart, and she goes into business to show what she can is the argument I have heard from men who should know better.

She does nothing of the kind; she gees into business because it pays better than teaching, and because she need not 'pull as The must if she wishes to keep her position as a teacher. But she does not slay in a business position one minute longer than she must. A business iife is constant After a few years nervous prostration gets hold of her, nnd she takes her first long vacation. After that she finds she has to rest oftener. unless she wants prostration a second time.

Just what is to become of her it is too soon to tell; she is a product of this generation, and we cannot get returns yet I have often stood and watched the great army of business women pouring over the Brooklyn Bridge between 5 and 6 and wondered what they will be doing when they arc twenty years elder. The idea of a stenographer of forty five or fifty ip rather incongruous. A woman can teach til! she diops down with old age. hut will an elderly woman be allowed to click away at a typewriter, or will she be superseded "bv a younger woman? I have hoard more than one young woman propound this query." ARTISTIC CURTAIN SUBSTITUTE. Finely carved screens of Japanese wood take the place of curtains in tho drawing room windows of a Brooklyn house.

The screens are the same length and width as the windows and are fine specimens of carving. One screen showed a design of quaint Japanese foliage and branches in openwork effect, and the other a different variety of foliage and an odd Japanese bird with ant spread wings hovoris ffti ntcrcst Do i WOMEN AND THEIR WORK. There are over 100 organizations of women in this country of national scope, with an enrollment of over 2,000,000. The committee on Probate and Chancery of the Massachusetts Legislature has reported against the bill granting motners equal guardianship of their children with the fathers. This measure was endorsed by the Massachusetts W.

S. the state fedaration of women's clubs, the state C. T. the woman's relief corps, and more than a hundred other societies, aggregating 3 4,000 women. The Women's Embalming Association, an organization formed by Xew York women, was recently incorporated at Albany.

A Western company is building a $9,000 yacht, warranted to cover seventeen miles an hour, for Miss Stella Mayhew of Chicago, the first woman to apply for membership in the Columbia Yacht Club, the leading yacht organization of Chicago. Miss Mayhew Is taking a course In marine engineering, and hopes to secure pilot papers, which will make her the only woman on the lakes. Mrs. Theodore Thomas, wife of the orchestra leader, is one of the charter members of the Anti Cruelty Society of Chicago and particularly active In her work for the alleviation of the sufferings of coal teamsters' horses. At a recent meeting of the Twentieth Century Club of Kalamazoo, Mich, whose members include some o' the most cultured women of the city, the principal paper of the afternoon was written and read by Miss P.

E. Kay. who for a score of years has been engaged in domestic service. "The Problem of Household Help" was the subject, and although housewives were criticised In sarcastic terms, the paper was voted the most meritorious production of the club season. During the winter the study of household economics interested the club.

Miss Florence M. Sumner of Chicago has acquired considerable distinction as a dog fancier and has been very successiul in raising English setters, many of which have carried off high honors at bench shows throughout the country. Miss Sumner has been professionally engaged in breeding dogs for about five years. Mrs. Ellen Sergeant, a well to do woman of Philadelphia, who died recently, left among her effects a bracelet containing a lock of hair of George Washington.

The souvenir was bequeathed to the Society of George Washington, headquarters at Valley Fcrge. The lock of hair was given by Washington to Mrs. Sergeant's grandmother in return for an, act of kindness on her part hile the general was at Valley Forge. THE POSTER MEMORIAL.

The lace is shirred a to tig one edge, and the thread Is drawn up until the lace is curled around and around, to make a pretty ornament. THE NEW COLORS. At dinners one sees the new colors. In the daylight, by the garish sun, one hesitates about putting on the new tones but when the soft electric glow throws its radiance around, then the colors are made less pronounced and the tones that would be too glaring in the day are made becoming and desirable. Glacier blue is a blue that you can imagine.

Not quite as cold as ice blue, nor as light, it is still a blue that is steely and clear, a blue that takes cream white to soften it and a blue that must be used carefully. Or the softening qualities of rose and the delights of the arbutus and orchid pinks. Even the water melons that are almost red, and the strawberries and cherries that are very red, are permissible so long as one gets that blessed warming glow, that light that conies In with the family of reds and goes out With it. The yellows are having an inning. They aTe here in all their warmth and one sees the oranges and the burnt oranges fading Into the cool lights of the lemon and moon yellows.

Champagne, sauterne and chartreuse yellow are the rather startling titles of three of the new shades and. in the deeper tones, one sees the lovely daffodil and the yellow rose, and the soft pretty primrose and the very delicate clear ambers. Tan is enjoying a new popularity in evening wear. It comes in a very admirable peachy tone that, while warmer than the old cold tarf. Is not too pinkish, and even the dull tans are worn with pink to brighten them.

It takes one back a little to see the dinner gowns in changeable gray taffeta trimmed with peach colored satin; and it certainly ecems like meeting an old friend to come across the light blue silk with its up to date trimming of pink panne. Pink and blue are reunited after many years of separation and rose and gray are friends again. Blue and green go courting on many a gown and the combination of purple and green is found among the more daring of the French gowns and In such manner that the tones of both are very light. The duennas are taking to the changeable silks, helped out with marvelous trimmings of black lace, and white lace, or lace in ecru. One can do a great deal with a changeable silk, as our grandmothers discovered long go, and a great deal is now being done with it.
