Tbe Soldiers' home board at first did not tske kindly to her application on ac-i-ouut of her sex. But Miss Nichols jwrsisted in her work for tbe position. IShe iMvsented high recommendations, credentials of the first character and a regular diploma. That settled the mat ter, and she was appointed. She is a jrraduate of the pharmaceutical de partment of the University of Michi gan, class of 17. After her gradua tion she went to Grand Kapids instead of returning to her home In Beach City.

For the last two years she has been pre scription clerk in a large drug store in tinuid Kapids. Wan'a Improve: Appetite. Within the present century our ideals of womanhood have undergone an Im mense change, as may be easily seen by comparing a few of the heroines of the early Victorian novels with those of eunvat fiction. Beauty Is not so ab solutely necessary to a heroine In the year of grace I'.mjo as It was in The thirties." and tbe small appetite, which wan formerly one- of beauty's attri butes. I out of fashion, says the Chi eayo News. Athletic exercise for women has quite killed the i.I. a that a small appe tite was what our grandmothers would Lave described as genteel, and women now cat what they want without any aCectation. There Is no doubt that the girl who cycles for miles In a day and who plays ' polf as energetically as her brother needs more food than the young wom an of 50 years ago. but we must not forget that even at tbe present time. In spite of all the athletics that some women Indulge In. the majority take but little active exercise, and for tbem it cannot be good to eat Dearly as Leartily as do their menfolk. Ia fac. a medical authority has lately been giv ing it as his opinion that women, as a rule, eat too much nowadays. lie com plains that they do not wait long enough between meals to btt-otue Lun cry and that between their regular tneals tbey eat a great deal of trash containing little nourishment, but which overburdens their stomachs. Tbe result Is that women are irritable without knowing why. and tbey en tirely spoil their good looks. If a woman would be bright, healthy and attractive, she must be extremely temperate in the matter of food. Of coarse, if she does not mind having a muddy complexion, a stout and un shapely figure, a double chin and a dull brain she can eat whatever and when ever she likes, but doiug so Is about aa wasteful of her strength and beauty as If she were to take frequent doses of some harmful drug. Those who wish to rhauge thelniiet so as to i:;ake it what It should be must Dot forget tbe plentiful use of fruits and vegeta bles. Salads should be eaten daily, and apples, figs and oranges should b used freely. As a rule. A merles b people eat too ruoch meat and are tar too fond of rtlmulatlng their appetites by tbe nse rf condiments.

Mane. Darwn mmd Ber W;rk. Mme. Marguerite Unrand. manager and editor of the Fronde, the famous Taris uewspnper run by women, writes only on matters cf unusual political importance. Mme, Lmrand married the manager of one of the Paris evening pa(Hrs. and under his supervision she familiarised herself with Journalism. She edited the Figaro supplemeut for some years, she wrote for the Temps and generally acquired the knowledge and experience which have made her an adept in tbe administration of the Fronde. The women of the Fronde are all republicans, socialists and feminists. They believe In democracy and lu uni versal suffrage; they are opposed to war on prluciple; they hold that wom en should have equal civil, political and domestic rights with men: they are determined that women should be paid the same wages as men and that they should be free to dispose of their money as they see fit. These women, dressed with taste and distinction, gracious and with leisure for good manners and courtesy, prove that the"- habitual association of brusqueuess and ugly severity in dress and appearance with the emancipation of women is a fallacy. Tbey arrive at their offices toward 5 In tbe afternoon, when the hospitable doors of the Fronde library aud salon are open to the public for tea. and they remain at work -until 2 in the morning.

Weanea'a Datea Cob flirt. By an uufortunate clashing of dates the trip to tbe Pari exposition pro posed by tbe General Federation of Women's Clubs has been abandoned. The meeting of tbe clubwomen In Paris was set for early September, and this couforuied to the plans of the French women having the arrangements for the congress tf women In charge. A great deal of interest was aroused among the clubs In the United States, to each of which circulars were sent ouiliuing the tour, which would first take them over historic places In vari ous countries of continental Europe liefore 11 nr. Li y leaving them at Paria. where they were to enjoy the federa tion and the exposition Just previous to starting on the homeward Journey. A change in the plans of the Parisian clubwomen, fixing the date of the fed eration meeting for September instead of June, was announced In a revised circular Issued broadcast by the presi dent of the federation at just about the time requests for passage were expect ed from clubwomen. Not half a dozen have since signified their intention of taking passage on tne federation steamer. The clubwomen have written that they would rather cot miss the bi ennial at Milwankee, which meets In June, and lu consequence the project as originally outlined has fallen through. This will have no deterrent effect, however, on the hundreds of clubwomen who had Intended visiting the exposition, the meeting of the con gress of women and finally the. meet ing of the federation. A large number of clubwomen have already booked passage, but few will sail until ufter tbe Milwaukee bienniaL Ta tlaaor Praaeea Wlllarw. A needvhas long been felt by physi cians, private patients and their friends as well for a hospital for the treat ment of dipsomania which should be on a different plan from any of the so called "ceres' or retreats which have yet been established. Dipsomania (or alcoholism) is now considered by med ical experts to be a disease. In many cases complicated by other diseases inch as neurasthenia, gastritis. Bright' disease, brain injuries and others, and a special hospital Is needed where the best medical treatment can be had at moderate rates. A hospital nnder ex pert medical care, having every oppor tunity for outdoor recreation, where the patient can go for private treat ment at moderate rates, was one of the cherished plans of Miss Frances Willard. After careful deliberation of plans and means of accomplishment a few earnest workers In and near Boston have formed a corporation under the laws of Massachusetts to be known as the Willard Ilospital corporation. A fine country place, having suitable buildings and extensive grounds, with pleasiut surrounding, hxated within 15 uiiic of Boston, litis.

A pretty girl, who is now a student at the Milwaukee Normal school, will leave about May 1 for Europe, where she goes to claim a large fcrtune which the crown of Spain Is said to be ready to pay over to her. Back of the good fortuii; of the youug schoolteacher lies a romantic story. When tbe great Na poleon started to conquer Spain, a cer tain Colonel Traxler, then a wealthy citizen of Switzerland, equipped a reg iment at his own expense and started MISS FA5XTA MOLL. for the peninsula in order to help repel the invader. Colonel Traxler was cap tured, and upon his release found that his estate had become seriously in voir ed and that be was mo longer a rich man. Finally be died. Ills daughter. who had married, lost ber busband and came to this country, settling in MH waukee. Her daughter in turn grew tip and married, and ss a resnit of that union the grandmother of the present Miss Fanita Moll was born. Spain has been tardy in making good to the de scendants tbe great fortune which Colonel Traxler lost in Its service, but at last, it Is claimed, tbe promise has been made, and Miss Moll and ber mother are going over as representa tives of tbe other heirs to conclude the negotiations.

Another long, slim woman, wearing black velvet upon which is appllqued white panne, painted wUb violets, has the same delightful accomplishment.

Cincinnati Enquirer. Tbe "Wamaa Groom. "Women grooms" are the newest, most excruciatingly swell things in equestrianism. Tbe Innovation comes from London, where women attendants are provided for fair patrons by the riding schools. These attendants do not ride at a respectful distance le klnd. as do men grooms, bet keep at the side of their employer, read to cd ter Into conversation. If desired. The "groom" must be intelligent cud fairly well educated and look stylish lu her riding habit. She must, of course, be a splendid rider and be able to give lessons in the art -of equestrianism w bet. tecessary. There are one or two of these "women grooms" In New York already, and, of course, more will fol low. No one can recognize them for servants, however, and they have not attracted any particular attention. It is only In the depths of most exclusive circles that any one kuows what they are. But It Is conceded that anything more delightfully smart could hardly be Invented, and "women grooms" are sure to become popular in a short time. Chicago Cbronicle. Beaety Yields to Bravery.

Many years ago Queen Victoria paid a visit to Parkburst female convict prison. As soon as she entered the women's'great ward, accompanied by Mrs. GUson, the superintendent, a great silence fell upon the vast assem blage of her suffering and erring sis ters. Her majesty was greatly affect ed. And then an Indescribable scene ensued. "The queen!" cried tbe poor convicts. "It's the queen herself! She'll pardon ns! She'll set us free" And, screaming and crying, tbey prostrated themselves at her feet. For a few moments tbe queen lost ber nerve and begged her attendants to clear a way for her to an adjoining room. Half an bour elapsed.

When the other officers saw what he was about to do, tbey made a desperate effort to stop him. but the deed had been done, and the red flames were reeling across the prairie like a frightened antelope. That fire swept from where it had been started clear across Kansas into what is now Oklahoma. The streams and roads offend no obstacles to It whatever. While goiug south It had also turned to the east and left a trail of ruin across Rice. Reno. Kingman. Harper and otb er counties. Thousands of settlers were burced out, losing their houses aud their feed, their horses aud cattle If the mau who set that fire had been known to the settlers, all the troops on the plains would uot have been euough to stay t'..'' vengeance.
