WOMAN'S WORLD.

tfME W.OMAN ENGINEER AT THE BIG ELECTRICAL SHOW* *\ifS

Ito ttny W«yi Yon May Wear Your Htlr Hrs. Stanford Pays the Bequest—Danp, C«« of the Tight Collar—Depew Talks t. w™»™.

On the ground floor of the Electrical Exhibition building, where few of the visitors go, a young woman was at work among whirring dynamos and powerful engines. She was the controlling genius of them all, the chief engineer of the exhibition. Without her the thousands of electric lights could not shine nor the many working models run.

This young woman was Mrs. Helene Walton, a practical engineer and mechanic. Her principal duty was to run

MRS. IlKLENE WALTON.

the great battery of boilers Chat furnished steam for all the engines in the building. "I don't exactly need the men," said Mrs. Walton, "but the management thought it would be better to lave them aroand in case a steampipe should break or something get out of order. I always did like to bo around boilers and engines. I met my husband in an engine room, and that decided my future. He is an engineer, and I cling to the work for the love of machinery. "I wouldn't bo a typewriter or a clerk in any store. Women can do any work that men can, and they're going to monopolize all occupations. In a few years there won't be anything for men to do but wash dishes."

Mrs. Walton kept an eye on the gauges, and not a thing in the room escaped her attention. The men obeyed her orders with pleasure, and the throbbing engines and dynamos sent pulses of power through tho great building. New York World.

The Many Way* Yoa May W«ar Your Hair. It has finally como to pass that in the matter of the coiffure few intelligent cultivated women follow any universal modo or iron rule in the arrangement of their hair to suit the features of their friends or neighbors, but in accordance with their own particular cast of countenance and their individual fancy. As a result one notices at any fashionable evening gathering a medley of graceful and becoming styles of coiffure that not infrequently uro quite an artistic study. The cowpaot lustrous braided coil at the back of the head is popular with many, especially women who elect for the trim princess or the open bock poke bonnets.

Thero are high rolled coiffures in pompadour, Josephine and medioi styles, with or without the full puffs above the roll bowknot effects on the •ides or at the top of the head in the back, with glittering diamond or paste pins thrust in hero and there low, broad Russian coiffures, with hair in deep waves over tho brow and sides of the head Greek knots with classic fillets of narrow gold or silver set with tiny gems to bind down the ripple* of hair—a very special stylo seldom to be ventured upon braids a la chatelaine caught up with a large Alsatian bow or hair ornament tho Clytie style, with a few short, airy curls bound with a soft braid of hair in the center of the head or in tho nape of the neck, as proves most becoming. There is likewise the Naomi coiffure, in which a length of abundant hair is lightly braided and coiled round and round the crown of head like a fluffy aureole, and fixed •h tiny gem set pins. khere are other arrangements, oomtresses knotted,' braided and giving the effect of a great weal tit of women's crowning glory, car overe coiffures adjusted with plain rich oise shell pins, Spanish styles also he inevitable high back comb as ^"insliing touch, and coiffures in ulque modes of the ultra-English orer, the hair parted in the center, and inus puff, wave or oruameut, and y, the short cut style, curling all the head #md parted on the left, *ith little side combs to hold the rings hair in place above the temples.— f»w York Post

Mn. Stanford Pay* th* R*qa««i. Mis. Jane L. Stanford lost no time ter winning her suit with the United sates government in providing for the .^yment of the $2,500,000 bequest to te Loland Stanford, Jr., university ft to the institution by her husband, he late •coatar. For three yean the ite of Senator Stanford has been tied pwith litigation, begun by the governent to collect the enormous sum of ,387,000, which it was alleged was ue on the Central Pacific Railroad mpany's bonds under the California institution.

During these three years of dread that estate would be wrecked if not tolly annihilated* and with it the noble uivermity funded in memory of her to. Mm Stanford sacrificed everything the way of personal comfort and the urories of life to maintain the collee*

iSSC

Which was in dire need of financial aid. She lived the life almost of a recluse and began an economy of expenditure in every direction in the management of the vast estate that made those who knew her in tho days of the senator's lifetime wonder, then pity and finally to applaud. She kept the university going and had the proud satisfaction of at last paying over the mosey left for its benefit.

The decision of the supreme court was handed down March 2, and the fact that in two months Mrs. Stanford was able to hand over to the university $2,500,000 shows her wonderful executive ability and the hold she had on 'every detail of the property.

This payment means an assured income for the great institution, no matter what may happen to any person or persons, and this assured income implies an end to the financial distress thgsf has been more serious than any one not admitted to the inner history of the Stanford estate knows. And 'this bequest has been paid with this unusual promptness because of the energy and the manage ment ctf Mrs. Stanford herself. The bonds transferred to the university draw interest at the rate of $10,000 a month —San Francisoo Dispatch,

Dangen of the Tight Collar. '"Headaches, eyeaches Don't wonder. You are undergoing a mild form of strangulation. Look here.'' And the physician, who in a twinkling had sighted 'the foundation of his patient's trouble, gave a vicious tweak at her boardlike throat environment. 'This fashion," he 'continued, "has put more of your sex upon the sick list than any other of your 'dress absurdities. There hasn't a woman come into my office for over a year whose neck wasn't confined in this tor tuous way. I have traced more than one case of congested blood at the,,ase of the brain to this collar fad. "It is responsible for red noses, bad -skins and other forms of repressed circulation. 4 4Now,

I cannot insert my finger be

tween your collar and your throat, and yet you wonder why you are having so much trouble with your head and eyes. "Rip up your high collars, my misguided young lady, and tell your dressmaker not to put another bit of binding about your throat. When you do this, I'll vouch for the headache's departure."

The shirt waist girl is a trim little body to look at from her neat belted waist to her spick and span linen choker. It is half an inch higher, if possible, this stiffly starched collar, than the one she wore last year. It has crept up just as close as it could at the lobes of her ears, and she wears it in sublime indifference to its -discomfort. But the time of reckoning is coming. When the drop in'throat stock arrives, and it is only a question of time before it is heralded in Evedom, oh, what a wailing there will be over departed throat beauty I The high oollar will have left its traces in crisscross lines, discolored skin and ugly neck circles. Then there will be grand hustle for massage, for cream baths and like remedies. And the worn an who has bravely gone about during the high oollar period in waists with old fashioned, turned away throats will thank her lucky stars that she had the good sense to keep out of the movement —New Orleans Picayune.

Depew Talks to Women.

Dr. Chaunoey M. Depew, in a talk at Madison Square Garden to the graduates of tho woman's law olass of the New York university, said:

4 4

If a brother and sister, equally equipped, go out into the world for em plpyment, there are ton places open for the brother where there is one for the sister. The result is that, while the brother can find employment at remu nerative wages, the sister is over whelmod by the surplus of energy applying for things which she is permitted to do. 4It is a mistake to suppose that the prejudice against higher education has died out, or that the feeling against a woman entering the professions or studying them no longer exists. The young lawyer, or doctor, or specialist, or engineer is welcomed everywhere. Fathers look kindly upvn him as promising husband for their daughters, and mothers receive him with flattering attention. His sister finds the doors of society in a large measure closed against her. Society admits her brilliancy, her profioiency, her right to earn a living, but is afraid to recognize her. The man who does not do some work in the United States is looked upon with contempt The woman who does earn a living has a constant struggle to avoid being regarded in the same way because she labors. "The brother and sister are educated for business. The brother enters a great banking or brokerage firm in Wall street, and bis sister procures a position in the same firm. JBecaose of this connection and its possibilities the brother is a welcome guest at every gathering of fashion, refinement and exclusiveness, while the sister finds few invitations awaiting her. It is for you, young ladies, to preach and work against this prejudice which is doing so much harm to your sisters."

Mr*. Holmath os. Clabs. The president of the New York Sorosis, Mrs. William Tod Helmuth, a woman of maguificent presence, who hi abundantly able to fill the position of first officer in the most prominent and model woman's club in the United States, has the following to s^y concerning the benefits of women's clubs: "My advice to every woman is, Join a woman's club if you can. We women are too apt to let the daily routine of home duties get the mastery of us. We beootne slaves to household work, which tn that case becomes mere drudgery, and we degenerate into poor creatures without life or ambition or thought above the narrow sphere in which we lead our daily Uvea "That is not the way to be happy, nor lo make our husbands fond of us, nor to perform home duties welL

When a woman gets out of the groove in which she has moved and attends gathering of bright women who discuss literature and art and philosophy—even the philosophy of housekeeping—she comes home radiant, full of new ideas and with a broader and clearer mind with which to grapple with the seem ingly small but nevertheless important problems of her everyday life. "In the club women are sharers of one another's knowledge and sympathies and charm of manner and disposition Each brings a part of this home witl. her, and do you suppose her husband does not notice it and with pleasure Do you suppose the children do not in stinctively feel it and experience in con sequence aglow of happiness? The truth cannot be too often repeated that a wo man's club will do much for a woman who joins it with the proper spirit."

Dr. Lola D. Clark.

One woman south of Mason and Dixon's line has the honor of a chair in recognized medical institution,*and New Orleans has her. Dr. Lola D. Clark has been recently appointed clinical assist ant in the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat hospital of that city.

Dr. Clark is a young woman and native of Grand Rapids, where she was educated, and whence she went after graduating to teach school She studied medicine because she liked the- profession and wished to take it up as a life work. She entered the medical department of the state university of Iowa at Iowa City, and was graduated from it in 1894. For two years during the time of her medical course she held the po sition of interne, or house doctor, in the Mercy hospital. After receiving her di ploma she practiced in Marshalltown, la., for a year and a half, and then decided to go south. Arriving in New Orleans in November last, she entered the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat hospital as a nurse, and for awhile wore the garb of the trained nurse. Recently the faculty offered her the chair of clinical assistant The nose and throat are her specialties, though she assists in many of the operations otherwise. Boston Woman's Journal.

Mrs. Upham'4 Gift.

Mrs. Upham, wife of the governor, has given the Wisoonsin university a very valuable collection of stuffed birds Mrs. Upham is an ornithologist. She is an authority on the birds of Wisconsin, and the collection she has presented is worth $4,000 or $5,000, and is without doubt the best of its kind. Mrs. Upham not only knows the description of all the birds of the state, but -is also acquainted with their habits and their calls, and her lectures on the subject, when she can be prevailed upon to give them, are very entertaining. There are a great many rare birds in the collection, among tho most notable being two finely mounted specimens of grosbeaks, which are extremely rare in this stafe. There are also specimens of the Baltimore oriole, which are very fine.—Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The Woman's Face. ,^v'

At a recent meeting of the Women's Press club of Philadelphia an informal talk by one of the members on the

4wo

man's page" developed an interesting discussion. These

'pages," now a fea

ture of nearly all papers, are, it seems, a western idea, and scarcely 10 years old. The speakers at the Press club symposium had many interesting opinions on the character and scope of this department of newspaper work and its value to women at large. Aocording to one of these opinions, "the creation of tho

4woman's

page' has vastly increased

the power of women in journalism, and the position of its editor is one eagerly sought after even by women who were earning more in actual dollars and cents in other employments."

Her Plan a Success.

Mrs. Ellen H. Richards of the Institute of Technology was last year elected a trustee of Vassar. She found the oollege preparing to build a large drain to carry its sewage to the Hhdson. This involved great expense and a needless pollution of the river. Mrs. Richards persuaded the trustees instead to convey the sewage to a farm belonging to the college and use it to fertilize the land. This plan has been carried out most successfully at one-sixth of the oost that the other project would have involved. Mrs. Richards' bright idea, in the actual amount of money saved to the college, is said to be the most valuable gift any Vassar graduate has yet conferred upon her alma mater.—Boston Correspondent

A Woman Spoke.

At the three hundred and ninetyeighth monthly meeting of the masters of Boston schools, held at the Parker House on May 5, a woman for the first time was present and spoke. Miss Sarah

Arnold, who is proving herself a worthy successor of Miss Lucretia Crocker and Mrs. Louisa Parsons Hopkins on the Boston board of school supervisors, addressed the assembled masters on

Observations and Suggestions on the Boston Primary Schools." Miss Arnold has been giving special attention to the primary schools for about a year.

Among some pretty and fancy bedspreads made for a country house are several of cretonne to match the hanging of the rooms where they will be used. They are lined with cambric, though this is not necessary, and have a deep frill all around.

Egg sclswrs have come. They take off the top of the breakfast soft boiled egg with neatness and dispatch, making the rest of the edible easy of access with the small egg spoon.

Grape fruit pulp mixed with shaved ice and served in punch glasses is an excellent course for a luncheon where wine is not offered.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

THE SMALLEST LAD AUVS.

Bwajh Eighteen Years of Afe, He Is bat Three Feet In Height. Down in Georgia, in a little town called Tweed, lives a tiny bit of humanity who is probably the smallest 18-year-old boy alive. The name of this junior midget is Henry Rutherford Ricks, Jr. He looks very much as Tom Thumb looked at the age of 18, and he's as bright as anew dollar.

Young Ricks is only 85 inches tall and weighs but 48 pounds. He is a fully

HENRY AKD GYP.

developed boy, and is as ambitious as he is small, which is saying a great deal.

Henry is a great reader and has an honest, open face. He is also very good natured, and, considering his size, very plump. He is a pupil of the Farmers' academy, and his teacher speaks of him in the highest terms. She says he is one of her best scholars and learns more quickly than the other boys.

The lilliputian has a sleek coated dog named Gyp, and the two are familial to every one round about Tweed. Gyp is a gentle dog. It is lucky for Henry that this is so, because if Gyp was rough he might easily kill little Henry.

Henry is strong for one of his ex tremely diminutive size. He enjoys a big appetite—big for him—and there really does not seem to be any reason for his dwarfishness, since both his father and mother are persons of the ordinary size You might think to look at him that young Ricks was a lad of 8, though his manner is that of a gentlemanly youth of 18. He scorns the idea of showing himself in museums, though he has had several very liberal offers from well known people in the theatrical business.—New Yo'i. Recorder.

Paul Reverets Imitator.

Little Julia Bates of Cohasset is IS years old. She has read of the midnight ride of Paul Revere and has been duly impressed thereby. She is now enjoying a local renown quite equal at present to the famous silversmith's, even though it is not likely to go down in history in the same way. On a bicycle she has imitated him.

The other morning when she awoke she smelled smoke but, being only 12 years old and a fairly constant attendant at village bonfires, she was not alarmed. While she was at breakfast, however, she new that her father's stables were on fire.

The. Bates house is situated in the outskirts of Cohasset. Little Miss Julia promptly rushed for her bicycle, and in the twinkling of an eye was4"scorching" into the town. She had aroused the neighbors and started up the fire department in a few minutes, and in a few more she was at home, carrying the furniture which was saved from the wreck into a neighbor's house. Thanks to her speed, most of her father's property was saved.

The particularly interesting feature of the story is that Miss Julia learned to ride the bicycle last summer under mild parental protest—New York Journal
