Scene: Street car. Dramatis persona?,
4-yeur-old girl, mother and several pas

Child (in hitch, shrill treble) Mamma,
did you get pupu's birthday present V
"Yes, dearest."
"What did you get, mamma?"
"Cigars, lovey."
"The cheap ones that Aunt Millie told
you about Y"
Silence from mamma, but a heightened
flush on her face that was not entirely
the reflection from "dearest lovey's" red
velvet hat.
"Mamma, that man over there has on
a dreadfully dirty necktie. You told papa
the other day that no gentleman would
wear a soiled necktie." Man glares and
pulls his overcoat ahout liis neck.
"Mildred, stop talking!"
Mildred was silent for half a block.
"Mamma, that lady over there forgot to
polish her shoes this morning." Lady in
haiid«oine tailor made broadcloth draws
her unmistakably badly clad feet under
her dre«s with a look of anger at the
golden haired child.
"Mamma, let me have some of my can
dy," trigging at the box in her mother's
hands.
"Mildred, do keep still. It is not good
manners to eat on a street car."
'"Mamma, those young ladies have aw
ful bad manners, haven't they?" And
mamma looked up to see that two hand
somely attired daughters of a woman
wUuuisheliail been dying to be on intimate
terms with were sitting in the far end of
the car sampling a box of bonbons and
who cut her dead as they looked into her
eyes.
"Mildred, I will certainly spank yon

sit down and quit talking," in suppres d
whisper from the enraged mamma. Then
Mildred turned her attention to outside
things, dusting the pretty dove colored
cloth gown of the lady next to her as she
squirmed upon the seat.
"Oh, mamma!" with a tug at her moth
er's shoulder. "Look quick! Isn't that
the young man who lives next door to us
that you told Aunt Mildred had such
•soulful' eyes?"
Mamma's reply was not audible, but
her actions were. The car stopped just
then, and she yanked "deare>t lovey"
by the arm and lifted her into the street

Japan'* IniprfKnnliilltf.
The coast of Japan, notwithstanding
Its long shore line and numerous har
bors, offers scant allurement to an in
vading army. There is very little
beach. The bold crags and bluffs over
looking every spot where a modern
war vessel can ride at anchor are pro
tected by strong fortifications defended
by the most modern guns.
Yeddo bay. the most feasible bight
for invading purposes, needs careful
navigation even by steamers of moder
ate draft. When torpedoes are planted.
It 1a simply impregnable, says a writer
In Collier's Weekly. When the war
with China broke out, a small steamer
was selected to pilot merchant steam
ers up and down the bay. I remember
perfectly the unexpected curves made
by this steamer, showing plainly the
countless dangers besetting a hostile
fleet regardless of the care that may
be used In feeling its way. No invad
ing army could possibly land, and even
If it succeeded in doing so the rice
fields, readily submerged as they are,
would aid materially in thwarting the
advance and in isolating the enemy. A
successful invasion of Japan is simply
Impossible.

Some amusing instances of trans

Another Italian editor who translat

about a man who had killed his wife
with a poker added an ingenuous foot
note to say, "We do not know with cer

In the French version of one of

Ileiintifnl I.ady llenry lientick.
lowa club women have chosen Mrs.
Alice A. C. Bailey of Des Moines as
their chief. This lively bit of elec
tioneering occurred at the biennial con
vention of the lowa Federation of Wo
men's Clubs at Council Bluffs, where,
though opposed by most of the dele
gates from her own city, she won with
a flattering majority of votes. The op
position was not personal, however,
but was due to the fact that Mrs. Bai
ley is the president elect of the big
Des Moines Woman's club, and her
promotion to the highest position in
the state would Interfere, so said the
Des Moines clul> women pointedly,
with her official duties at home. Now
that Mrs. Bailey has the coveted po
litical plum it is expected that she will
resign as president of the Des Moines
Woman's club.
Mrs. Bailey is an admirable type of
club woman, politic and progressive.
Associated with the lowa federation
MBS. ALICE A. C. BAILEY.
since its inception, first as recording
secretary and then as corresponding
secretary, she is qualified to hold the
official reins for two years. Aside
from work in the Des Moines Woman's
club she Is connected with the D. A.
R. and a conversation club In her own
city. She is also known to club wo
men outside the state and as an active
alumna of the University of Wiscon
sin.
There is one splendid thing Mrs.
Bailey proposes to do as president, and
that is develop the rural club Idea.
There is the Harrisburg Literary club,
near Bonaparte, la., for instance, made
up of 20 farmers' wives, many of
whom drive miles every two weeks to
hear a literary programme In some
centrally located farmhouse. It is not
the city club woman who needs the In
spiration of club life so much as the
isolated country woman, so contends
Mrs. Bailey, and it Is hoped to make
the"club for country women" numer
ous in lowa.
The Way to Iron Shirt*.
For ironing fold the skirt straight
down the middle of the back and Iron
the body smooth, taking care to move
the Iron mainly straight with the wrap.
Next fold a sleeve flat along the sloped
seam and Iron it upon both sides. Iron
tlrst through the middle, then take hold
of the wristband or shoulder with the
left hand and hold taut till the Iron
goes quite to the Joint. Open the wrist
band, lay it Hat and Iron hard upon the
wrong side, then turn upon the right
side. Then comes the tug of war, other
wise, ironing the bosom.
First fasten the neckband properly.
Next slip the bosom board inside the
shirt and spread the bosom smooth
upon It, pressing it out simultaneously
with both hands. With a thin, clean
cloth wet the whole linen surface light
ly with weak, raw starch. Bub It In
very well, and if any place feels sticky
wipe It off with a cloth dipped In tepid
water. Have the iron hot enough to
yellow dry cloth if left to stand on it
ten minutes. Begin at the bottom of
the bosom and iron straight toward
the neck, up the middle, holding the
neckband in the left hand and pulling
hard against the Iron. Here as much
depends on the left hand as the right.
The knack lies mainly in knowing how
to pull properly.
If the bosom wrinkles or forms one
of the warps known to laundresses as
"cat faces," wet the place with cleat
water, stretch it smooth and Iron over
again, Rub the iron over the white
wax, also in the salt tray, to insure a
perfectly smooth surface. If the starch
is right—properly made and applied—it
will not stick to the face. But if a yel
lowy crust forms upon the iron tip
scratch It off with a blunt knife and be
sure to wax and salt polish the iron
again before settling It on the shirt.
When the whole bosom is smooth
and nearly dry, take one of the polish
ing irons, not quite so hot as the oth
ers, rub the face of it with either pol
ishing wax or white soap and press the
bosom hard all over, bearing hardest
upon the rounded iron point. Iron and
polish cuffs on a flannel covered board.
Wet them also with raw starch or,
more properly, starch water. Press
first upon the wrong side with a very
hot iron and turn upon the fight side
only when nearly dry.
A Few I'otnt* on Fin*.
The pins for the hair have a patent
catch with blunt ends that do not tear
l the hair.
The long pins for the back of belt
and collar are very flat and quite mar
quise, if they are strictly fashionable,
but there are some women of good
taste who deviate from this and wear
.'he long Frencn bugles of gold that are
ijulte thin and artistic.
But the flat ones are the prettier and

These are S4 apiece, the one for the
belt longer than the one for the collar.
■When studded with seed pearls, they
are more expensive and used for elab
orate frocks.
The fashion of having a pin at the
back of the collar is becoming more
popular every week. It must be very

be In the form of a horseshoe or cres

of velvet, perfectly plain, with a little
turnover edge of lace. The edge can be
of embroidery if desired, though lace Is
daintier. There are two trimmings
very popular, one of which may be en
tirely new. It is that of the hand paint
ed Spanish lace applique, which is to
be used so extensively this year upon
yokes and flounces and upon skirts If
enough of It can be obtained. Down in
the old treasure chests there are un
doubtedly yards and yards of Spanish
lace, says the Montreal Star. This, If
brought out, will be found to contain
some lovely roses and leaves and other
floral designs. Women of taste are
painting these in their natural colors,
choosing pink designs and coloring the
Spanish lace roses until they are In ex
quisite bloom. The roses are then cut
out and are appliqued upon the yokes
of satin waists or upon skirts as side
panels, or are used for hip treatment.
Flounces of net lace are appliqued with
these Spanish lace flowers with most
delightful results. <Juite a different
style of applique, though a not less
beautiful one, is that of the cretonne
flower. Cretonne, with many women,
is associated with chair coverings and
cushions, but there comes this year a
fine, datnty variety of this goods beau
tifully figured and suitable for gowns.
A whole gown of cretonne is scarcely
to be thought of, but if the figures are
cut out they make a very pretty ap
plique and can be used in place of lace,
especially upon cloth gowns or upon
wash dresses.
ChicuKo WnntPD Who Swim.
The white marble swimming pool of
the Chicago Woman's Athletic club is
one of the most largely patronized
places In that town now that warm
weather is approaching. During the
morning hours the bath is in constant
use, and here may be seen many of the
leaders of Chicago's swell set, arrayed
in gorgeous spring style bathing gowns,
doing aquatic "stunts" copied from the
mermaids. The most skillful of all
these fair swimmers is Miss Stella
Ainiek, the swimming instructor. At
some time during every morning the
women pupils all sit around the edge of
the pool with their feet hanging in the
water and watch Miss Amick while she
performs tricks which would make
even the fishes stare, if there were any
there.
Among her accomplishments is her
ability to float on her side, which, it Is
said, not one person in a hundred can
do. She can entirely submerge herself
and walk on the bottom of the pool.
One of her diving specialties is called
"the sea lion," because, Instead of
pointing her hands over her head in
the usual manner, she keeps her arms
at the side. And when It comes to
somersaults in the water she can outdo
even the small boy on terra firma.
Among her more humorous perform
ances Is her imitation of a starfish,
when her arms and legs revolve in
rapid succession about her body, and
her Imitation of a bicycle scorcher,
only the head In strained position be
ing out of the water, while the pedal
ing motions are made by climbing, as
it were, through the water.
Hoon For Hou*ekeeper*.
An Ingenious inventor recently no
ticed that housekeepers frequently find
it very dittieult to keep their clothes
lines in proper position, and, investi
gating further, he learued that all
those who have occasion to use ropes
or cords are often somewhat puzzled
when they are called upon to tighten
them or to maintain them In a strained
position.
Consequently he set his brains to
work and invented an instrument by
means of which any rope or cord can
be easily and securely tightened and
held in position. The instrument con
sists of an iron rod, at one end of
which are two other small, perpendicu
lar rods, while at the other end is a
wooden handle, similar to a crank and
which serves the same purpose. The
slack portion of the cord is rolled
around two perpendicular rods, and
then by simply moving the crank the
rope can be tightened to any extent
desired. As soon as the crank begins
to work the rope begins to wind itself
around the rods, and when it is suffi
ciently tightened the free end can be
securely fastened by means of a prop.
Deantlful I.tidy Henry.
Lady Henry Bentlck Is as good as
she is pretty and as accomplished as
she is both fair and virtuous. At the
last drawing room held by Queen Vic
toria this blond flower of the north
couutrle came to kiss her sovereign's
hand, and, dim though the queen's eye-
Bight was, she promptly commented on
the fair loveliness of her youthful sub
ject. It Is said on good authority that
as Lady Henry went by the queen,
turning to the Princess of Wales, said
smilingly: "If I were young, I would
ask that pretty woman to become a
member of my household and have her
portrait painted, as Mary II had Kuel
ler paint her court beauties. It Is a
delightful thing, my dear, to have
sweet women always about one."
Perhaps the present queen bore her
predecessor's good advice in mind, for
her court ladles, as chosen so far, are
all fair to look upon, and Lady Henry
Bentlck lias been commanded to serve
in the great coronation celebration. In
appearance this lady is a rare and
very exquisite blonde, delicate of fea
ture and possessed of a uniquely per
fect throat. About her neck she In
variably wears a string of wonder
ful deeply pink pearls that are heir
looms In the Bentlck family, which Is
the family name of the enormously
wealthy dukedom of Portland.
Vonm In Fnrllninent.
It is a fact seemingly known to very
few people that there are actually la
dies who have the right and privilege
to sit In the British parliament, wrltea
Clement Scott In The Free Lance.
There can be no doubt, according to
many excellent authorities, that those
few people who are "peeresses In their
own right" can claim to sit in the house
of lords during any ordinary assembly
of that house.
Such ladies as the Countess of Cro-

inartie, the Baroness Conyers and the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts might at any
time create a sensation throughout the
empire by appearing in person and
claiming to take their seats in that
house, and if they can sit and vote
there they can certainly take part in
actual debates of the house.
What would happen should any such
lady venture to exercise her peeress'
rights in that direction the imagination
fails to conceive, but it ia easily seen
that with the ideas which are at pres
ent in the air with regard to the ad
■ ance of women we may ere long have
ine peeress in her own right or even
n re than one who will insist on these
being accorded. Then what an
upheaval of parliamentary tradition
and custom there will be!
The Dilatory Woman.
When women have an appointment
to meet down town at a certain place,
each lingers In her own apartment un
til the hour set for the meeting so that
she won't have to wait an unconsciona
ble time for the other at the rendez
vous. Femininity is almost invariably
late, even for business engagements,
and any excuse it offers, however triv
ial, it thinks should be accepted as
valid.
At catching trains and boats the dila
tory sex Is nevertheless unusually
adept. It is said by those who are fond
of gathering such statistics that one
woman misses a train to about ten
men. Madam, however oblivious she
may be of time in other matters, if she
Is going away Is sure to be at the sta !
tion bright and early and with 20 min
utes to spare. Whether this proves that
the sex Is selfish or merely that it is, in
the language of the times, "long head
ed" is a question for consideration.
Children and Sweet Staff*.
It is necessary to make some kind of
stand against the physical demoraliza
tion of the rising generation by the in
ordinate consumption of cheap confec
tionery. Mrs. Creighton, the wife of the
late bishop of London, has urged again
and again the necessity for checking
the wholesale consumption of sweet
stuff by the children of the poorer
classes, and It is admitted by the doc
tors in jioor neighborhoods that It Is to
the continual eating of lollipops that
the wretched digestions, frequent gas
tric troubles and enfeebled stamina of
those who are to form the future back
bone of the nation are due. What the
public house Is to the father, the sweet
stuff shop has become to the child.
A Chinese Woman's Heroism.
Stories are being told of the remark
able heroism of I'an-Nanal, a Chinese
woman who went through the siege of
Tlen-tsln. On one occasion, when bul
lets were coining in at the window as
the English woman ou whom she was
waiting was dressing, she stood and
shielded her mistress with her body,
saying, "They will have togo through
uie tirst before they reach you." All
Pan-Kanal's people, except her sister
and her children, were massacred dur

Tlie Common Frog.
If a traveler were to announce that
he had discovered In some remote part
of the globe an animal whose tongue
was rooted In the front of its mouth,
the tip pointing down the throat, and,
further, that the creature's manner of
breathing was so peculiar that the sur
est way of suffocating it was to keep
Its mouth fixed open, there would be
some little curiosity about the "find."
If the discoverer went onto say that
the creature began existence as a fish,
breathing by means of gills and hav
ing a heart of only two chambers, but
had undergone transformation, discard
ing gills and gradually acquiring lungs,
adding a third chamber to its heart,
and so in the truest and most literal
sense passing from the order of fishes
to the order of reptiles, the public
might even become excited about this
extraordinary animal until It came out
that it was no other than the common
or gardeu frog. Then probably 10 per
sons out of 20 would instantly cease to
take any interest in the subject, if they
did not feel some resentment against
the man who had contrived to draw
their attention for a time to such a
common reptile.
A Book Hanter's Worry.
The worry of finding that a book la
Incomplete is often to be expected.
Often most respectable looking books
have a page missing somewhere. One
cannot trust even a folio that lias been
connected with religious housies all Its
life. It may be invincibly bound in the
strongest calf; it may have passed all
Its quiet, unread days behind glass and
be as clean as ou the day on which it
was issued, ami yet page 041 may have
vanished.
We once knew a man who had a firm
belief in the devil and for this reason:
He said that he could hardly count the
Imperfect books by which he had been
misled In his time, and in nearly every
case these books had a highly respect
able past. They hud grown mellow in
monasteries or had been carefully tend
ed In great libraries, where they were
never touched except to be dusted. It
seemed morally Impossible that harm
could have come to these books, and
yet each one had a page missing some
where. Therefore he was reluctantly
forced to the conclusion that the devil
was in it. He supposed that when the
devil was in need of more quotations
he abstracted a page from some little
read book, choosing it both In order
that he might obtain a reputation for
wisdom and also that he might not lie
found out.
We do not uphold this theory, but we
do recommend the book hunter, so far
as possible, to collate every book of
any Importance which he may con
template buying.—Macmillan's Maga

He was, according to Short Stories, in
the habit of boasting that his father
was a cooper in an obscure town in
the state—that he was "one of the
people" and didn't belong to the "kid
gloved aristocracy."
The "general's" great failing being
his fondness for liquor, it will surprise
no one to be told that the more he drunk
the more loudly he declaimed his
political sentiments and the prouder
uf being the sou of a cooper lie became.
During a political campaign, where his
opponent was the southern orator, Tom
Marshall, he had been unusually noisy
and offensive In bis boasting regarding
his obscure origin. In replying, Mar
shall said, looking hard at the general:
"Fellow citizens, my opponent's
father may have been a very good
cooper. I don't deny that; but I do say,
gentlemen, that he put a mighty poor
bead into that whisky barrel."
A I.ove Letter of Prlnee Hlsmnrek.
"On my window sill, among all sorts
of crocuses and hyacinths, stand two
camellias which always inspire me
with strange thoughts. One of them,
slender and pretty, with its ornamen
tal crown (top) and soft, pale—very
pale—pink blossoms, but little foliage
and only two buds, transports me to
Reddetln, holds itself rather stiffly and
lisps English. The other makes far
less Impression of beauty as you look
at it, and its stalk betrays In its gnarl
ed twisting lack of care in its pruning.
From the midst of the foliage looks
out a dead branch, but the crown Is
rich in leaves, and the foliage is groen
er than that of its neighbor. It gives
promise of abundant blossoming in its
eight buds, and Its color is deep dark
red and white In irregular gay variega
tion. Do you take the comparison
amiss? It Is a lame comparison, more
over, for I do not love camellias, be
cause they are without odor, and you 1
love precisely on account of the fra
grance of the flower of your spirit,
which is white, dark red anil black."

There ought to be a comma once in so

the rest. Don't you think so?' he wound
up appealingly.
" 'I do, indeed.' heartily replied the
partner, who was not wholly devoid of
humor. 'That's a great idea of yours, j
Harvey. If I were you,' he suggested, j
'l'd draw up a rule to that effect.'
"Harvey thought it over, and the ■

were all green. Mr. Lockwood and
Judge Beck with were trying out a
