But on early triumph new aha makes a

Till . her commercial triumphs have the
spiirit of romance.
.Her bloomers soon uhe'll gayly don and

She'll be an alderwoman or she'll drive
the bobtail car;
She'll sit on tho Judicial bench, as happy

And leave her humble lord at homo to
Bcrub and do the work;
He'll have to put ths kids to sleep and
sweep the Harlem flat
And ask her for the bloomlnr cash to buy
a winter hat.
Pull soon her lord will take the floor to
talk about his plights, ..
And try to form a brotherhood to strive

The brand new woman, of today she'll

And, in the language of the bard, she'll

A writer in. (the Sun Is disposed to put
apon American husbands a large share
f .the blame for the unsatlsfaotoriness
f Arierican wives and mothers. This
!s her arguments "It may be said that
every girl on marrying means to make
her husband 'a good wife, and that she
would di so If she-had a chance. But
what Is tho history of moat marriages?
The honeymoon ' c; ver, friends are re
selved'and the- brjde rushes Into a sys
tem of Innocent hospitality to show how
well she can keep house, and after a
while ith husband begins to find what
he cells tamo cait parties' a trifle dull.
Whait does ho do? Does be lay himself
out to be es entertaining ' as In the
flays of courting? Does the wife get
the same attention, Are her -wishes
;onsldered to the same extent? Does
he take the same Interest In her trivial
household news? Does he still tell her,
ind what Is more, show her, that he
ttlll thinks her peerless among women,
ind that while he does not wish to
make a recluse, of her, 'he still prefers
her society alona as he did In their
happy' courting' days? Is the fact not
rather that, as soon as the novelty of
new association wears off, the . man
takes the' first iplunge, and. In small
things at first, begins to neglect the
woman; Instead of taking one certain
night for his club, to take several; to
lay business keeps him. out late and
five tho truth away half a dozen times
the next day, thinking his wife docs not
find this out because she is at first too
hurt and too proud to speak of it?
Then she, too, takes her own path and
is thrown in; with other women who
- have lost all home ties, all home .inter-,
ists. even in ithelr children. Is It any
wonder that the woman grows careless,
purposeless, given up to dress, not for
men but for women, and finally objects
to an evening at home even with a
friend to dinner, and dreads a tete-a-tete
"with her husband a thousand
lime more than anything else in the
' world?" If she does not develop into
t frivolous nonentity, she takes the
ther extreme and becomes hard and
materialistic -i
' ' . "The fault lies largely with the men.
tf tliey would take one-half the trouble
to choose their -wives as they do their
jlerks, their horses, or their dogs, and
!f they gave them one-half the true con
lideration to which they are entitled,
ind ceased to regard them as so much
necessary impedimenta and furniture
iround the' house; if they chose them
for life companions instead of because
lome one else admired them or some
other foolish idea, the young American
woman 6f today would be a very dif
ferent creature in- the human gamut,
and no one would be more pleased with
the change than she herself. She may
not know this at 20 years, but at 40 the
Divine Word could not persuade her to
the contrary- ' And, again, is it not
more than possible that when the hus
band of the present learns enough to
:ontinue to act something more like
the love of the past, the new woman
' will evaporate even more quickly than
!he has sprung into being?"

if Uie announcement Is accurate that
sleeves are ito be bigger than ever the
cotajng season then it is necessary that
the arm of the law be invoked. There
Is a precedent for this, for as early as
IKS the town of Dedham, Mass.,
adopted the following: "And be it
further en'aotccT :That hereafter no per
, son whatsoever shall make a garment
for women or any other sex with sleeves
more than half an ell wldo in the widest

Some satisfactory cqtnmon sense is
Infused. -Into- he '(new wpmah" discus
sion by Wiliyim Dean Howells, who In
last week's -Issue of Harper's Weekly
confesses 46 doubts-'as to the existence
f the w tromanJon any extended
loal."Mr. tHowells, alluding; to the
appearance cf . the advanced and "liber
ated" woman who-figure In so muoh of
ths lat . English flot Ion, says: "The
writers seem to havo oreated her, and
Information, Partly Grave,
and Partly Gay.
ths readers believe In her. There has
always been the woman who goes to
lengths and breadths in her talk, and
the woman who goes to lengths and
breadths lh her behavior; and undoubt
edly now there Is a tendency to free
women from the control of mere con
vention moro and more, which Is a very
good thing. Men have to let them ask
why men may do certain wrong things
and women may not, but apparently
they do not abuse this right to go and
do the wrong things because men have
no good answer to make. Bo much of
new womanhood as this seems to be' In
the air, and the air Is all the fresher
and purer for it, but If any one will ob
serve the facts, will he find more than
this? The new woman to tho type of
woman whom Active art is Just now
dealing with, because she amuses and
because she is easier to do than the
woman with leas salient characteris
tics. We notice her in life because wo
have found her in books, and because
wo have begun to notice her In life she
abounds In books more and more and
again more In life. One cannot say Just
how suoh things originate or how they
will end. An artist draws a succession
of charming piatureS from some tall,
slender girl; the tall, slender girl seoms
to step from them Into the street, and
then you can get nothing but tall,
slender girls in any of the illustrations.
Nature and art seem to play Into each
other's hands, and by and by they seem
to get tired of this plaything or that,
and suddenly drop it Perhaps In time in
a very short time the new woman will
be flung out on the dust heap with her
clothes In tatters, her nssa broken, an
eye gone, an arm pulled out and the
sawdust oozing from every pore."

SELECTED RECIPES:
Creamed Codfish. Flake enough cod
fish (we prefer the boneless codfish,

of new potatoes (either steamed or
boiled.) When these are out of season,
serve in a border of mashed potatoes,
beaten until creamy.

the codfish precisely as given above.
Ten minutes before serving time, put
as many eggs as you wish (half a dozen,
more or less) into a quart cup or basin,
cover them with boiling water, and lot

but do not blue them. Instead of Ironing
thorn, pull them In shape, and pin them to
a clean cloth on your ironing board; pick
out each little point and pin.lt down. Let
them get perfectly dry before removing
them.
A sponge large enough to expand and fill
the chimney, after having been squeezed
In, tied to a slender stick; is the best
thing with which to clean a lamp chimney.
To glaze pastry, beat the yolk ot an egg
to a froth, and when the pastry la1 nearly
done, brush with the yolk and return to
the oven to set the glaze, but be careful
not to let It stay too long, as It will brown
It unduly.
As patent-leather shoes, even Of the best
quality, are likely to crack, and the shoe
dealers will not be responsible for them,
It Is well to know how to doctor them a
little yourself. In the first place, keep
them wrapped In cotton batting, and the
lnsldo filled with soft paper or cotton. If
necessary to wear them on a very "cold
night, put them on In the dressing room
after arriving, If possible. To keep the
leather soft, rub It occasionally With a lit
tle sweet oil, rubbing tho oil in as much
as possible, and then wipe the shoes thor
oughly with chamois. If you must con
tinue to wear your shoes after tho glaze Is
cracked, buy or make a good varnish and
keep the shoe dressed with It.

to hear of the death of Mrs. Glanffrw.d
Thomas, widow of Rev. GlanfrwU
Thomas, at one time Vicar-choral of St.

profession as a means of livelihood, and
Boon received a largo number of en
gagements. Her voice was one of un
usual richness, and she was Justly cele

Cambria. Mrs. Thomas lived in Swan

Mrs. J. E. Heckel's ladles' choir,
which Is preparing for the Wllkes-Barre
eisteddfod, held a very successful re
hearsal at L. P. Bowell's hall on Mon
day evening. The rendition of the com
petlturo pieces showed that the ladles
had. thoroughly mastered their parts,
and that it will be almost an impos
sibility for any opponent to carry off
the prize. During the evening the
ladles sang "The Bridal of the Birds,"
"Annie Laurie" and "The Bridal Caves
of the Ocean," In all of which they
showed complete harmony and the fin
est blending of voices, in which the ac
curate balancing was a prominent feat
ure. The execution of the selections
displayed artistic taste which reflected
most creditably on the talented di
rectress, Mrs. Heekel, who has the en
tire confidence of the members of the
chofr.
