Women AtL Writers—That Annoying

El Ux.—Narrower and Trimmed Skirt*.

Some 60 women from different parrs of the country gathered in the hall of the Atbeuaeam when Elizabeth Boynton Harbert of Evanston, Ills., called to order the fourth annnal convention of the National Household Economic association. Among those present were Mrs. Bertha Honore Palmer, Mrs. Ellen M. Benrotin and Dr. Mary EL Green of Michigan. The morning session was deToted to a resnme of the work as outlined by the offioial reports of the various officers.

In her annual address Mrs. Harbert pointed out a large increase of late years

In

the number of schools of domestio science established in this oountry. Numerous oolleges had added such departments, and there had been a great increase in clubs and organizations for the study of domestio science. Much also had been done during the year to dem-

MR8. KLIZABKTH BOTNTON HAKBERT. onstrato that domestio science and domestic training wore not ono nnd tho same thing. Domestio science was the training of mistresses, of heads of homes nnd of experts in a comparatively new field of learning. Domestio training meant tiio teaching and development of domestio servants.

Tho fact was commented upon that tho Hchools of domestio scionoe are not patroniz' as they should be, and that the wonion seem backward in availing themsolves of the opportunities extended. This is due in part to tbeir lack of understanding of tho opportunities offered and partly to tho failure of hospitals, sanitariums, homes and similar institutions to reoogniae the value of trained ability and to pay the salaries that such ability demoudod. At the present time tho majority of such institutions paid to their matrons wages scarcely moro than those of their servants, no matter how muoh training had been required to properly fit them for their duties. Wimt is wanted, it was contended, is a more general recognition of the valno of ox port female services by those in charge of public invitations.

The report of tho corresponding secretary, Mrs. Alice J. Whitney of Chicago, gavo a briuf history of tho organization of the association and an exposition of its aims. Tho organization was founded by Mrs. LunraS. Wilkinson in 1801 and grow on', of theoommittee on household ooonomi of tho world's congress auxiliary in Chicago. Tho objeot of tho society has been from the start to sot doxnestio labor—-all that pertains to the home—on a higher plane, to make the fashioning of tho future housekeepers and lurn makers an artistic study, that tho best bought of the coming generation ma bo devoted to the realization of au ii.c home, which shall bo the stronghold from which shall emanate diameter, strength, education and morality—tho bulwark of support to the state ar.tl tho hope for a brilliant future for tbe nation. Mrs. Whitney says that tho association has suooeeded in arousing grei-t interest in tbe subject of scientiflo I'nnsokeeping among the women's clubs of the country, and suggests that the work oan now be safely turned over to the National Federation of Women's Clubs. If this plan is not adopted, she urges that general officers be elected from all parts of tbe country in order to obliterate in some degree the idea of centralisation and give scope to tbe national idea of the organization.—Milwaukee Cor. Cbioago Herald.

Mis* Mlna Tinnier, Watchmaker.

Woman invaded a great majority of the fields over which man once reigned alone long ago. Now she has added one moro to the list, watchmaking, and tbe rikost shocking feature of all—to man—is that she is very clever at it indeed.

Of course Um?re have beeu women employed in watch factories for years. That, however, is very different from looking after watches in the watch hospital, tho jewelry store and making them as good as new.

There is a young woman in Dresden, O., Miss Mina Tingler, who knows all about watches. What is more, she has jost received a certificate of membership in the Philadelphia Homlopical society. This is an honor of which no other woman can boast. She tells her own story in these word? "Did you know a woman was like a watch—not your well ngulat«d timepiece, but one of tbww watches that has a character of its ow n. and unless handled aright quickly gets o^of order, and keeps a dosen differeu Wines in as many boors?

I got this odd idea when listening into ad. writers and manage their onto a lady customer to my father complain of the whioh, subsequent investigation proved* were very much like h« own. Then I wondered if watches aid hare character and the *ing I knew I was at mr tether's worktop* invee-

tigating. I became so interested that I proposed to my father that I would like to become a doctor of watches, although 1 bad never before thought of such a thing. "He, seeing that I was persistent in my efforts, at last gave me an old watch movement which had fallen in the water and had every wheel in it rusted, I was to clean the watch and take every particle of rust off of it. I suppose my father thought by the time I bad finished that I would soon get over the idea of learning tbe jeweler's trade. However, I cleaned tbe watch up nicely, and from that beginning have gone on till Dow I have entire charge of the store, buy all the jewelry and select all my working materials, take an invoice of the stock every year and keep my own books. "I clean watches, but I consider that a very easy task in comparison with other parts of watch repairing. "1 like the work for this reason—I always liked something that had life in it. I think the watoh has it, for it will soon tell wbetber one has mastered it or has been mastered by it. The work is scientific and has required a great deal of thought and study by man to get the watch up to tbe standard it is today, and one cannot know too muoh about the work. For that reason I joined tbe Horologioal sooiety of Philadelphia in order to improve myself and get down deeper into tbe science of horology."— New York Herald.

Udm Shawm.

A linen shower, to be perfectly up to date, should be quite an informal affair, but can be elaborated at will. The hostess invites 36 or 80 young lady friends of the bride to be, generally sending out her engraved oard, upon wbioh she has written "Linen shower in honor of Miss Brown, 8 to 5," giving the date. It is courteous to permit the young lady to add a few names to the list, whether the hostess is acquainted with all her dear girl friends or not Every person receiving the invitation either makes or purchases some dainty piece of embroidery, and if it is not possible to go sends it the afternoon indioated. Tbe most fashionable pieoes jnst now are tbe delft embroidery, the jewel and the Beardsley. Many young ladies are doing the drawn linen work and the pen linen, done with indelible ink. Towels, doilies and fine handkerchiefs are appropriate gifts. Older ladies contribute without being in attendance, frequently sending tabidoloths, napkins and entire sets of bed linen. Dainty refreshments are served later, the guests being seated at a table, and two or three ohosen friends usually doing tbe honors.

One of the latest ideas in connection with an affair of this kind was in the form of a surprise. The friends assembled in the drawing room, each having her pretty offering. The bride elect was summoned from her boudoir, with the knowledge that some one friend had called upon her. Just after she crossed the threshold of the drawing room there was a "linen shower" indeed, which blinded her vision for a moment more effectually than a snowstorm, the difference being that she has numerous pieces of linen with whioh to commence housekeeping, some representing the daintiest of every oonoeivable blossom and standing for hours of labor by loving friends.

In oases where a surprise is not desired one of the musical young ladies plays a wedding march, while the lady to be honored, accompanied by her maid of honor, desoonds from her room, where friends are in readiness, and the "shower" is done to music.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Bride's Veil and Oolffur®.

The veil and the coiffure are after all tbe most important part of the bride's attire, for all white gowns are pretty muoh alike exoept to tbe bride, who always has and always will nurse the illusion that hers is absolutely unique. There is ono stereotyped way of arranging wedding tresses in France. The hairdresser crimps evory lock of the brido's hair with hot irons, then it is rolled away from the forehead over a high puff and arranged high on the bead in rolls and coils that are wonderful to behold. But wearing one's hair in one's favorite, old, everyday way is considered by many in hotter taste. Dressed for her bridal, with her page and maid of honor and her lovely robes falling around her, tbe bride is a fairy prinoess.

The fashionable bairdressing is still back from tbe face, and this gives abundant opportunity for tbe high rearing of the veil and its loops and puffs. Tbe social status of a bride is often determined directly by this veil, held as it is in front by a jewel, for upon this gem hangs the tale of fortune. If one immense stone, mounted showily, it means comfort if a meek little cluster, it means not quite as much, and if a tiara it tells the story of a great heiress.

There is a firm making lace veils, each one separate in pattern. None is ever repeated, and so the "rich, old, family lace" can be purchased with no trouble at all without fear of seeing it duplicated. The "veil of Eugenie" passing away, or it has been sold once too often, but there are lace designs that are so sheer that a spider's web is coam compared to them. Such a veil is used for a drapery upon a bodice front at the after receptions, then is put away for tbe after generation.—New York Commercial.

Womrn as Ad. Writers.

Two of tin? most successful American writers of newspaper advertisements are Miss Mamie Huugerford and Miss Nellie KIonian of Washington. Both started as typewriters* but by close application and studying the methods of advertisers and reading all the various advertising journals they rapidly develops'

iists of bouses. Both are college girls, and each b*s supreme confidence in the ability of th« modern woman to mak» lit r. way in most any field. In *pw*king cf »«r profession. Miss Hungexfara raid "Then is no reason why women

should not be as successful in the advertising field as in any other. I believe it peculiarly adapted to women. Woman is the power behind the throne, and it is aokuowledged that nearly all advertising, directly or indirectly, appeals to women. Who knows better than a woman what kind of an ad. would most interest ber sex? Women know tbe different kinds and qualities of dry goods, notions, etc., and are also familiar with men's goods. It has been a source of wonder to me that more women have not embarked in the advertising field, as I predict a brilliant future in the next few yean for the woman ad. writer. Naturally she must adjust herself to the conditions surrounding tbe business, ever ready to 'give and take,' and asking but a fair field and no favors."— New Yak World.

K* Ux.

A few days since, as I sat at the tea table, my son oame in with a good sized pamphlet in his hand, spying, as he laid it down, "Mother, the sale of your house is in The Record."

After the meal was over I took .p the pamphlet, whioh was tbe New York Real Estate Beoord, to read

Narrower and Trimmed Skirts.

Dress skirt? are out narrower on the fronts and sides and oertainly many of tbe winter skirts are to be trimmed. This is unwelcome news, bat the information is offioial. Trimmings necessitate considerable extra expenditure. They burden the skirt and get out of condition as a rule before tbe dress they decorate shows other signs of wear, and renewal means a fresh outlay and a certain amount of trouble in repairing. The plain, elegant dress skirt will surely be regretted when the disadvantages of the trimmed ones become onoe again disagreeably apparent. Fur bands, silk passementeries, en applique velvet bands, pipings, points and blocks, rows of gimp, braid and velvet ribbon constitute some of the new skirt decorations. Milliners' folds of velvet or satin are greatly sanctioned by fashion, and silk braiding wrought on velvet is a novel decoration. A variety that is not materially injured by rain is used for shoulder capes, jackets and rodingctos. No material oan quite compare with velvet in effect and becomingness, and it is a wondorful foil and set off to fur or grebe. Fur and velvet are in great vogue, but these two elegant materials should always be used in volume and never cnt up into snippets and "gingerbread work" that add little in the way of warmth and really bemean these textiles.—New York Post.

The Osprey Algrets.

I am told, in regard to osprey plumape, that milliners are now overcoming the scruples of conscientious lady oustomers by assuring them that tbe aigrets they offer for sale are artificial. Let none of my lady readers salve ber conscience with this fiction. These pretended artificial plumes have been repeatedly submitted to naturalists, who have pronounced them to be the genuine feathers of the female osprey, over which there has been so lond an outcry. I believe I am right in saying that nothing approaching to an imitation of osprey plumage has yet been manufactured.—London Truth.

A Stylish Dress.

A stylish dress is made of black satin. The skirt has a front breadth of striped and brocaded silk and an Eton jacket of satin embroidered in beads and spangles. Tbe front of the waist and sleeves are of material to match the front breadth of the skirt. Tbe front is in surplice fashion, and there is a wide belt of velvet with a large and elaborate buekie. Tbe sleeves are almost as large as the leg o' mutton in its palmiest days.— New York Ledger.

On Victorian railways "station mistresses" are rapidly replaciug station mastersi Over 200 women are now holding tbe post, and they do their work as well as men. Their average annual salary is $100, whereas the station masters received $660.

There was a prize of $160 offered not long ago by John Wedderburn & Co. for tbe best and simplest invention. This prise was carried off by a Mrs. Lottie Cox of Blue Springs, Neb. Tbe invention was a work table.

Some of tbe new bread trays have tbe bottoms of polished ebony or tulip wood, with tbe sides of pierced silver. A rack is fastened to the tray that holds the slices of bread upright and separate.

KNOWN BY GOOD WORKS.

Mrs. Bailey of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union.

Mrs. Hannah J. Bailey of Maine, superintendent of the department of peace and international arbitration for tbe World's Woman'8 Christian Temperance union, is a woman whose philanthropic works are kr wn far beyond the limits of the white ribbon organisation. She was born at Cornwall-on-Hudson in 1889. In 1868 she was married to Moses Bailey, a wealthy and highly honored friend, whose death in 1882 left a great

shadow on ber life. In tbe interests of ber department she is untiring, editing two papers, distributing literature, targeting and employing a secretary, all at her own expense. Mrs. Bailey is one ef the directors of tbe Woman's Temperance Publishing association, and has been from the first one of the main pillars of that organization, extending to it both moral and financial support. She is well known to the national convention as its timekeeper, it being ber duty to strike a bell on tbe instant that tbe time of any speaker expires.

Why Attempt to Cure

cattarrh by the use of so-called blood remedies? That catarrh is not caused by blood troubles is self evident when you reflect that attacks are always due to sudden climatic changes or exposure, and occur most frequently during the winter and spring, though the blood is as pure then as in summer or fall. A remedy which quickly relieves and cures the catarrhal attacks has been found in Ely's Cream Balm.

Do not allow yourself to be imposed on by the many novel schemes, advertising new and and untried so-called cough remedies but stick to the old reliable, Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, the unfailing cure for all affections of the throat and chest.

Another on the List.

"Hello, Stimson, what's all that whistling about? Not trying to raise the wind, are yon:" "No, said Stimson, unpuckering his mouth from a violent effort to produce "Benny Havens, Oh." "1 am merely reviving old melodies." "But I never before even suspected you of being musical," and his friend looked anxious. "Oh, I say, hang it, can't a fellow whistle without being called to task about it?" "Not wben whistling is so seldom heard that it is in danger of becoming one of the lost arts." "Well, I mu?t own up, I see. I am not whistling for amusement, nor for the music that's in it I um whistling for my health." 'Your health? Nonsense!" 'There's no nonsense about it. Look at my chest. It has increased two inohes in girth since I began to whistle. The exercise has done it. I have expalided the muscles, and the pull on the ribs has strengthened them, and my general health is benefited. You see, I have employed a new method of compressed air treatment." 'You mean that you have added one moro to the list of cranks." "Nothing of the kind. Bnt I have given the idiots who are always asking fool questions one more question for their repertories. S'loug." Detroit Free Press.
