findr-fl" for tlio Advancement of Wo
men Would Mud a Fertile Kit-Id
within Domain of Trrunlcnl Old
King Leopold.
Today th lund of Kind Leopold
la perhaps further behind the times
In Ub treatment of the gentler sux
Uin any other country of Europe.
Here women atlll does the.maoual
labor of the land aa ahe once did It
all over the world. The rolce of
progress, whoso modern note la
polling emancipation everywhere
else, baa not yet Bounded for the wo
ma a of the little atrip of land 173
miles by 112 that rejoices In the
name of kingdom.
The Belgian woman la the Nation's
farmer, miner, laborer and mechanic.
She tolls from dawn till sunset at
the heaviest kind of work, and none
pttteB or makes an appeal for her.
The little country, of whose exist
ence ahe Is the corner stone, Is one
of the most densely populated In the
world, and every square mile of terri
tory must support 4 85 persons. That
11 Is ablo to do so Is only bocauae of
the Industry, the slavish willingness
of the women of the country to do
the kind of work front which other
nations have freed her.
The soil of Belgium Is well ad
apted to agriculture. The once lm
pawdblo morasses of the Murlul and
the Menapll have been drained and
converted Into fertile Holds, sur
rounded by dense plantations. A
system of canals helps the Scheldt
and the Muus In their work In Irri
gating the lund, and the varlatlonu
of climate from very hot summers to
extremely cold winters glvo advan
tages that are denied to the neigh
boring country of Holland.
But the seed sown by nature would
never be reaped If the work of do
ing It were to be left to man.
Tlio population of the country,
some seven millions, Is divided Into
the proporton of three rural dwell
ers to one who lives In the city, and
probably the sumo proportion, three
to one, would show the number of
women and children as against men
who toll In the fields.
Centuries of habit have made man
regard the Belgian women as a nat
ural wage-eftrner. If he Is Indust
rious ho works In the factory, while
she goes out and raises the farm
produce that Is eaten on his table
and when there Is a surplus sold.
Young women and old think noth
ing of working a 12 hour day In the
Holds, whore wheat, barley, rye, oats,
hemp, flax hops, dye plants and chi
cory are prepared for the markets.
In the hundreds of acres devoted
to vineyards, where Is produced a
fair, but not famous wine, It Is wo
man who do the bulk of the work,
and the gourmand who drinks a bot
tle of wine with a Belgian label has
women to thank for his enjoyment.
But It Is not alone at farming that
the women of Leopold's realm toll
for their keep.
Incredible aa it may seem, they
are actually miners, and no small
part of the valuable mineral output
of the country results from their
efforts.
In this country, the miners, sub
ject of so much solicitude, are men,
but In Belgium the same dangers,
privations and exhausting work are
the portion of women.
In all the Belgian mines women
work at the surface, handle coal,
posh wagons and do the work that
breaker boys accomplish In the Un
ited States. In some of the mines
they are not permitted to go below
the surface, but in others they act
ually compete with the sale miners.
So In all the centers of the various
minerals at Liege, where copper Is
wrought; at the black marble quar
ries of Dlant, the slate quarries of
Herbemont and callmtne mines of
Liege, there will bo found women
working, and In most cases very
frateful for the opportunity.
At the great seats of the linen in
dustry, Courtney and Bruges, in
West Flanders, Ghent in East Flan
ders, Brussels in Brabant, Mechlin or
Mallnea In Antwery, Tourney in
Hainault, women are employed in
great numbers and are more skilled
than men. But no account of their
ability la taken In the wages paid
them, which are for the most part
pitifully small.
When Dowie, as part of his dream
of a modern Zlon in the United
States, brought a number of lace
workers from Belgium, with the ldoa
of making a fortune from their work
he made them no extravagant offers
of salary, yet their Income was as
much In one day as It had been In
a month in their native land.
But the lot of these linen work
ers and laoe makers Is a dream of
luxury compared to what some other
Belgian women must-endure.
Mrs. Roosevelt' Secretary.
Miss Isabelle Hagner, who acts as
social secretary to Mra. Roosevelt, Is
carried on the white house pay roll
as a clerk at $1,400 a year. She Is
the daughter of Dr. Hagner, who
years ago was regarded us Washing
ton's leading physician. She is the
one woman In all the capital who
hast nbaoluto freedom of the white
bouse, from lta famous east entrance
to the busiest corner of the presi

Is supremo dictator, thus relieving

Adjustable Invalid's Bed.
The care of an Invalid Is always
a great burden on some member of
the household, and to lighten this
burden aa much as possible a Penn
sylvania man has designed a bed
which has several unique features.
The head of the mattress Is divided
Into several sections, one of which
ADJUSTABLE BED.
can be raised to any height desired,
to be used In case the Invalid do
sires to be partly raised. Support
ing the part of the mattress thus
raised Is a pivotal frame, the height
being regulated by ban registering
In a bracket In the side of the bed.
Kitchen Walla.
If tiles are out of the question, oil
paint Is the only available wall cover
ing for a kitchen and should be fin
ished with a coat of enamel.
The kitchen walls will require
washing quite as much and almost as
frequently as the floor White tiles
make the finest possible covering, not
only because they show dirt but be
cause they can be easily cleaned.
This requirement must be met
with any other substitute, and this,
to a considerable extent Is given In
a good way by oil paint finished with
enamel.
Motor Cars and Wealth.
The possession of a motor ear Is
not necessarily the proof of great
wealth. The majority of motor cars
belong either to enthusiasts or men
of moderate inooine, and the 1,600
motor car Is a rarity, like the mill
ionaire. Car.
