IN THE WOMAN'S WORLD

What They Are DoingLittle Things of Interest.

A SUFFRAGETTE HERE. Mr. Philip Snowden, Wife of Distinguished Member of Parliament. Mrs. Philip Snowden, who recently arrived In this country from England, Is not only the wife of a distinguished member of parliament, but is famous on her own account as a suffragette and a lecturer. During her stay in America she will talk on the subject nearest her heart woman's rights, at a number of colleges and women's clubs. Mrs. Snowden Is young and passing fair, of the dainty pink and white type of English beauty. She is not of the most militant variety of the suffragettes. She has never been in jail or smashed a window or chained herself to a park railing so the police couldn't make her move along, but she marched at the head of the first monster procession in London last June between Lady Frances Balfour, sister-in-law of King Edward's sister, on one side and Mrs. Henry Fawcett widow of Victoria's cabinet minister, on the other. "We have hundreds of titled persons who are members and contributors to the movement" said Mrs. Snowden when interviewed the other day. At one meeting alone, attended mainly by the aristocracy, we took up a collection of $35,000. I don't know what " u S . Oneness of MaiJbvrouc't is going to take, because she joined just before 1 came away. I think she was Influenced by the Hon. Mrs. Bertland Russell, sister-in-law of Countess Rus sell, who Is also a suffragette. Mrs. Russell, who was formerly a Philadel phia girl. Is a great friend of the duchess. "Annie Kenney has brought more fashionable women Into the movement than anybody. Annie Kenney is the little factory girl whom W. T. Stead has called the Joan of Arc of the movement She started the whole thing with a question to John Burns at Albert haU one night soon after the Liberal government came in. Before an audience of 11,000 he was outlining what the Liberal party proposed to do for the various classes of men. Annie Kenney leaned out of a box and said, 'What are you going to do for the women T The audience would have torn her In pieces if it could have got at her. At the same time Cristabel Pankhurst was doing the same thing at a meeting In Manchester, and she was put out of the hall with her clothes torn half off her. The things that have been done to the suffragettes by the stewards of political meetings in which they asked questions would not be believed In America." Her Searchlight the Beet Yet. Women have not achieved much in the field of Invention, but for the Improvement of the searchlight Mrs. Bertha Ayrton is being honored by scientific bodies In England. She is the only woman who holds membership in the British Institute of Electrical Engineers and the only woman who has received a medal from the Royal society of London for original, unaided research In electricity. She succeeded with the searchlight where men the world over failed. After experiments carried over several years had failed to Increase range and Illumination the British admiralty called in Professor Ayrton In the hope of making the searchlight more effective. Ayrton was puzzled, as other experts had been. Rts wife watched his work, and she finally expressed confidence in her ability to make an improvement Ayrton gave her a free hand, engaging himself In other work. A couple of weeks ago the admiralty heads grew enthusiastic about the improved searchlight he exhibited before them. When they crowded around to congratulate him the professor said: "Congratulate my wife. She's the inventor; not I." Do You Comb Your Hair Properly? "My hair is coming out by the handful. complained a woman to her hairdresser recently. "How do you comb it?' was the reply. "Half of my patients who complain of falling hair really are pulling it out by their own barbarous use of the comb. "Never pull or tug at long hair; use a lone s weepine stroke ff there are no SJ 0 0

If "there are work af each i one lightly and separately till it is removed. j "Always begin at the ends of the hair. wort. tog tm gradually. If the tangles are very bad, it is much better to thread them with the fingers before touching with the comb. j "Easily tangled hair should always be combed in small strands, which are kept separate till the entire head has been gone over. j "In the case of an Invalid whose l hair has not been combed for several days it is well to rub a little oil or vaseline on the hair, which helps to take out the tangles more easily. Even for a short Illness the hair should be parted down the middle from the forehead to the nape of the neck and two plaits made. Never endeavor to make i the brush do the work of the comb. I "The brush Is for smoothing, for giving that fine gloss so justly admired, not to be driven fiercely through a mass of tangles. "Treat your hair gently, as a precious possession. Remember, it Is 'woman's crowning glory!' " Gay Bedroom Slippers. Not all the bedroom slippers that are shown as novelties are copyable, but the gay effects in colored canvas, lined with quilted satin, can easily be made up from a good slipper pattern and sewed to a pair of soles. The best way to manage is to rip up a pair of old bedroom slippers that fit well, cut out the shape in red, green, pink or any desired color of canvas such as is used for fancy work and cut similar pieces of quilted satin, either in the same or a contrasting tone. Baste the canvas and satin together wrong side to wrong side, turn in the edges, overcast them neatly together and sew to the soles. Finish on the toe with a pompon the same color or with a rosette made of many knotted loops of Inch wide ribbon, either velvet or satin. How to Sew on Buttons. The following is an excellent way of sewing buttons on children's coats, etc.: Make a good sized knot .in your thread, which should be fairly coarse, then place a small pearl button on the inside of the coat. Put the needle first through the material, starting from the right side of the garment then through the small button, then back again through the material and right through the big button. Continue to stitch through and through until the button feels quite firm, then give the thread a twist or two round the base of the top button and finish off securely. There will then be no fear of the buttons coming off or tearing away the cloth. Mice Don't Like Camphor. Country -people long ago discovered that lumps of camphor scattered through their pantries and cellars would drive off the pest of tiny red ants that sometimes and without apparent cause Infest places where food Is placed. It is now known that mice and rats also have an aversion to camphor and will not go where it is. A lump of it placed at the mouth of rat and mice holes while waiting for the carpenter is a sufficient deterrent If one Is In the habit of placing tablecloths In hampers to wait for washing day, a lump of camphor in a cheesecloth bag tied to the hamper will keep mice away and always be in its place. Various Things to Remember. When selecting the goods for your business or street shirt waist remember that it is the color note that is the novelty. The colored stripe, both in linen and lawn, is extremely fashionable, especially when the stripe is of brown, porcelain or navy blue and lavender. Remember when planning your waists that simple styles are the smartest Even the lingerie waist that reached the height of elaborateness is now seen in the plain tailored style. The one side frill is a favorite form of trimming and is made so that it can be buttoned into the waist The First Safety Pin. A little bey, the son of an English blacksmith, used to act as nursemaid to his baby brother. The baby often with a

South Dakota's Famous Divorce Mill is Wrecked by Election

In the referendum of last Tuesday the people of South Dakota have voted overwhelmingly to end South Dakota's famous divorce milL After the State Canvassing Board meets at Pierre the first week of next month and announces officially that the new law has been approved, it will be no longer possible for the discontented wives and husbands of the whole world to come to South Dakota, and, by spend cried, and its tears were generally caused by pin pricks. Noticing this, the boy tried to bend pins in such a way that they wouIJ do their work without puncturing the baby. He failed, but his father, seeing the utility of the idea the lad had been at work on, set t work on his own account and eventually turned out the safety pin, which is now used all over the world. Alum Cures Fever Blister. .Not the least unpleasant by any means of the ills attendant upon a cold Is the uncomfortable, unbecoming cold sore or fever blister. If taken in time its further development can often be stopped by the application of a bit of alum. Moisten this and rub gently, but thoroughly, over the spot To Remove Carpet Stains. Stains 1 on carpet can often be removed by making a thick paste of fuller's earth to which a little ammonia has been added. Put on the paste thickly, let It stand twenty-four hours and brush off. Sometimes a second application is necessary. Smilage. Nervous Traveler (to seat companion) How fast should you say you were traveling?

The Bastille as a prison was apparently better kept and cleaner than either Bicetre or the Chatelet and Imprisonment within its walls did not it would eoem, dishonor the prisoner or bis family. A great many prisoners were charged as mad, and under this elastic term the violent maniac, the ambitious madman, the young spendthrift, the megalomaniac, the reacher for the philosopher's stone or the secret of perpetual motion all these tiresome persons might be and were included. How, then, did these prisoners live? In the underground cells or dungeons, as In the cells In the towers, the prisoners were on bread and water, as a rule. In the other rooms in the main building three meals were served a day, with drinkable wine "vin potable." In certain cases, according to the quality and distinction of the prisoner, he might supplement the meager furniture of his prison and get a provision of books. Very favored persons were allowed their own servant if he would consent voluntarily to undergo confinement Voltaire began to write the "Henriade as prisoner in the Bastille; Abbe Morellet of the Encyclopedia speaks of the great fortress as the cradle of his fame, but we must remember that it was perhaps not advisable to say much about the Bastille when you were still living within its walls and that, as M. Mouin has reminded us, "the old Spartans offered sacrifices to fear." Prisoners, moreover, had to sign on their release an elaborate declaration by which they swore never to divulge, directly or Indirectly, anything they might have learned as prisoners concerning the Bastille. Mrs. Frederic Harrison In Nineteenth Century. A Feat For Blondin. "Speaking of the straight and narrow path," said a congressman, "reminds me of a story about a man I i knew in Chicago who stayed very late ; at a dinner at the club. When he : came out he started to walk In the middle of the street " 'Hey, John,' said a friend who met him as he was making the best of his way along the car tracks. wby doist you walk on the sidewalks? "Walk on the 6ldewalks? snorted John. 'Do you think I'm Blondin ? Saturday Evening Post Got Tired Quick. A farmer hired a hand from town. The first morning the new hand went to work he accompanied the farmer Into the hay field. They put on a load and hauled It to the barn. By the time it was unloaded it was 9 o'clock. "Well," said the new hand from town, "what will we do now?" "What will we do now?" roared the farmer. "Why, we'll go after another load of hay!" "In that case," said the new hand from town, "I will resign." PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY.

Since the death of 12-year-old Peter Grosse, from hydrophobia, eleven victims of the rabid dogs which caused the boy's ' death have been reported in the family's immediate neighborhood, j Through the generosity of the citizens of Terre Haute, who have subscribed liberally to the fund started by the Terre Haute Star, eight of these will be sent to the Chicago Pasteur institute.

HUMBLED THE PRINCESS. Fall of a Dusky Beauty From the South Sea Islands. One night John Sharp Williams, while a student at Heidelberg, Germany, was in attendance upon a swell i function at which the guest of honor j was a dark skinned princess alleged ' to- hall from one of the south sea islands. This princess was magnlficentI ly bedecked and bejeweled, and her warm olive complexion, set off by a mass of black, kinky hair, full red lips, snow white teeth and black, sparkling eyes, made her the center of the function. The masculine-like Germans swarmed about her like bees around a honeysuckle vine, and even Dutch femininity could not discount the charm of her manner or the beauty of her person. John Sharp v.-as introduced, of course, and immediately upon obtaining a near view of the princess (?) his southern instincts rose to the surface and his southern blood began to boil. Watching his opportunity, he managed to get to the beauty's elbow. Then, reducing his voice to a low, but perfectly audible key, he sent Into her startled ears this alarming query: "Look here, nigger, where did you come from?" Panic stricken and with all her self possession scattered, the alleged princess turned upon her Interrogator as she heard the familiar Intonation of the southerner and looked Into his unrelenting face. Then she stammered: "Fum South Carollny, boss, but for de Lawd's sake don't tell It" Whether John Sharp respected the pitiful plea of a southern negress In a faraway land and permitted her to continue her bold Imposition upon the credulous Germans the story does not tell. But the fact remains that the "princess" realized that she was in the presence of one whe, from intimate knowledge of her race, had divined her African origin, and she could only throw herself on his mercy.

Sorority Girls in Scanty Gowns Invade Wichita, Kan. Hnmes

Wichita, K&, Nov. 9. The homes of some of the best people of Wichita were entered Saturday night scarcely without invitation, and the families more or less shocked by pretty girls, scantily, but daintily clad, who, after slipping by the person who answered their ring of the door bell, entered the parlors In the presence of the household and gave a realistic exhibition of plain and fancy dancing. The dancers departed as suddenly as they came and left the spectators speechless.

THE SCRAP BOOK

A Fine Thirst. The Grand Prix, the famous French race that concludes the Paris season. Is wound up in the evening by lavish private dinners at all the fashionable restaurants. A New York man once telebrated too well. He gave at the Cafe Amerlcaln a large supper, aud the next afternoon an overseer saw a valet carrying to this man's room a fresh water bath. "What are you doing with that bath?" the overseer asked. "I'm taking It to No. 72, sir." said the waiter. "But it Is nearly 5 o'clock." "He Is still in bed. sir." "But I thought" said the puzzled overseer, ""that I saw you carrying a very large fresh water bath to No. 72 a couple of hours ago." "So you did, sir," said the waiter. "He drank that" PATIENCE. I stood within the halls of Joy And asked If one could point the way To Sorrow's htmse. With manner coy. Impatiently, each answered. "Nay." i I knocked upon the door of Pain. j "Can tell where Sorrow lives V I cried, j But there, too, I had sought In vain. "Joy ts my mother," Pain replied. Then met I one whose face serene Was as a light upon the earth. "Sorrow," she said, with gentle mien "Ah. yes! 'Twas she that save me btrth." Beth Slater Whltson In Metropolitan Magazine. j He Was Admitted. j A fussy military official once devised ' a system which compelled every one who went on business to General Banks to procure a ticket from a member of the staff, the presentation of which at the door gained him admission. One day a burly colonel came to the door of the private ofhee at beadquarters and requested that his name 4 be given to the general. "Have you a ticket?" he was asked. ! "A ticket!" echoed the colonel, with scorn. "No, sir, I haven't." "You can't enter here without one," ; was the reply. "Sir." said the colonel, "when Gen-: eral Banks becomes a puppet show , and I have 25 cents to spare I'll buy a ; ticket to see him, not before." He waa admitted. Tom and Jerry. Tom Reed and Jerry Simpson, the ; noted Populist congressman, were great friends. Their good relationship came after this incident: "Say, Jerry," said Reed one day, "why are you a Populist?" "For the same reason." said Simpson, "that you are a Republican. A majority of the people of our respective districts are of our way of thinking." Tended to His Part. Some years ago the Yankee schooner Sally Ann, under command of Captain Spooner, was beating up the Connecticut river. Mr. Comstock, the mate, was at his station forward. According to his notion of things the schooner was getting a "leetle" too near certain mud fiats which lay along the larboard shore. So aft be went to the captain aud, with his hat cocked on one side, said: j C 1 1 ! tle too close to them flats. Hadn't you better go abeout?" The captain glared at bim. "Mr. Comstock, jest you go for'ard and tend to your part of the skuner. I'll tend to mine." Mr. Comstock went for'ard in high dudgeon. "Boys," be bellowed out "see that that er mud hook's all clear for lettln' go." "Aye, aye, sir!" "Let go, then!" he roared. Down went the anchor, out rattled the chains, and like a flash the Sally Ann came luffing into the wind and then brought up all standing. Mr.

People wanted to know what It all meant and the solution of election bets wa not accepted, because girls don't bet on elections not that way. , It finally leaked out through one of the society women of the city that it was all a part of the Initiation ceremony of the Lamba Alpha Lamba Sorority. The girls are well known here and at schools. They are Miss Helen Brooks, Miss Ruth Dorsey, Mis Alva Hamilton, and Miss Genevieve Reilly. "It was downright mean for the members of the sorority to exact such embarrassing things of us. said one of the girls who had done her stunt "But we promised to do our part and we did It." The good people of Wichita ara shocked. The Lamba Alpha Lamba is a national sorority. U Includes among its members only those of the highest social and school standing end its membership is limited. There are many of the alumni members here.

A professor in the University of Ber- , lln who came to this country a year ago was much surprised when he traveled in a sleeping car to be asked by the porter for his berth ticket "My birth ticket!" he said. "I havs my passport. I have my letter of credit and I have even in my trunk my -certificate of vaccination, but why the railroad should want my birth ticket I do not see." "But," said the porter, "I must know whether yon have upper or lower berth." "Upper, of course.- said the German. "Look at my passport. Does it not say, 'Well and highly born?' Practical Economy. - If yon would succeed In business never spend a cent more than yoa earn. No matter bow small your -earnings, you should master this art. , I use the word "art" advisedly, as many young men appear to fritter away without so much as a thought all their earnings. Marshall Field. Journalistic. Enterprise. While stopping at a little Hoosler hotel in the course of a hunting trip In his native state Booth Tarkington lost one of his dogs.

Mr. Tarkington returned to the hotel. After a few minutes be decided, however, that it might be well to add "No questions asked" to bis advertisement and returned to the Dally News office. The place was deserted save for the skinny little freckle faced devil, who sat perched on a high stool, gazing wistfully out of i he window. "Where Is everybody?" Tarkington asked. "Gawn to hunt th dawg," replied the boy without removing his gaze from the distant fields. Everybody's. D'Ennery's Wit. The Empress Eugenie once aak?d D'Ennery, the French dramatist after the performance of one of his plays st the Tuileries, "How did your heroin get the poison that was so necessary for the denouement?" "Ah, your majesty,." said D'Ennery, "that's Just what I've never succeeded in getting ber to teiL" Another time the directors of a theater where his drama, "The Two Orphans," was being rehearsed asked him what he was dissatisfied with.
