Daring Daehes of Color.
The combination of blue and green,
the most daring of the season, Is an
other cause of controversy. Daring as
1t may seem, the mixture of blue with
bright green has been exceedingly suc
cessful, but Its opponents claim that It
ts an eccentric, Inartistic combination
and maintain that the vivid shade of
green Is only harmoniously possible
with white, black, or a pale tobacco
brown which has just come into vogue.
The tendency toward freakish bright
colors which marked the beginning of
the season is giving way before the
subdued tones which are now being In
troduced. Undecided changaeble
shades are securing the preferences,
according to the Chicago Tribune. The
latter effects are secured by placing
one color over another. Of the most
effective of the changeable combina
tions are blue and mauve, and green
and gray. The latter in particular Is
altogether charming. Ecru and rose is
snath err effective melange and white
and pale blue give a nondescript tone
which Is decidedly attractive.

Medical Women, the oldest, if not the
only, state medical society of women.
Dr. Jennie McComen, of Davenport, the
writer, speaking of the status of the
women of the profession in Iowa, has
the following to say:
"The medical profession of Iowa is
noted for Its justice, courtesy and liber
ality toward women practitioners. Not
only are they freely admitted to all
medical, societies, but are acceptably
occupying official position of all
UndB; are sent as delegates from local
to state, and from state to national
societies. - In 1893 Iowa was represent
ed In the Pan-American congress by a
woman. The state hospitals for in
sane Include a woman on the medical
staff, the first appointment of this kind
baring been made in 1873, 29 years
ago. The majority of the general hos
pitals have one or more women on
the active or consulting stall.
"The Iowa State medical reporter as
early as 1885 had a women ou the edi
torial staff in charge of a department
devoted to medico-legal questions and
neurology. In 1895 'lhe Iowa Medical
Journal added to Hi staff a woman col
laborator In obstetrics.
"The medical, pharmaceutical and
dental schools are coeducational, and
there Is no part of the state, so far as
wo know, where educated and capable
women are not received by their broth
ers In the healing art on terms of
perfect professional cquall:y,"

In buying gloves there are more Im
portant considerations than their color
nnd the number of buttons. Black
gloves are generally less elastic than
white or colored one, and cheap grades
are dear at any price, says Woman's
Life.
Dressed kid usually retains Its fresh
ness longer, and Is more durable than
suede. The best nnd most serviceable
lld Is soft, yielding nnd elastic.
A glove so small that it cramps the
hands and prevents graro of motion
gtves poor service. Sliort-flngered
gloves are ugly, and certain to break
soon between the fingers, It not at
their tips.
The way In which a glove Is first
drawn on and shaped to the hnnd has
much to do with both its beauty and
durability. Unless you have ample
time, do not have thorn fitted at the
shop, but at leisure draw them on as
hero recommended, and. If possible,
wear them half an hour without clos
ing tho fingers.
When the hands are at all moist,
they should be powdered. Insert all
the fingers, and work them on evenly,
leaving the thumb loose until the fin
gers are fully in place. Then Insert
the thumb, and work the glove down
smoothly over tho hand, keeping tUo
seems In their proper position.
In buUonlng a glove the greatest
strain comes upon tho first button, so
before attempting to fasten this, but
ton the others, commencing with the
second one, then the ethers, lastly the
first.
Do not begin at the tips of the fin
gers to pull them off. Turn back the
wrists and draw them off Inside out,
but on no consideration leave them
In this shape, or roll them. Turn
them right side out, smooth lengthwise,
and put away by themselves with a
strip of flannel under and between
them.
A glove mender of wood, celulotd or
silver, In the shape of a finger, should
be in every sewing basket, as well as
glove thread In a variety of colors and
Fhades. Tho seams of gloves should
bo restltched as soon as a stitch
breaks, using fine cotton, never silk.
To mend a tear, buttonhole stitch
closely around tho edges once or
twice, as the size of the rent may
require, and then join the edges to
gether. Save the buttons from discarded
gloves to replace lo3t ones. They often
match perfectly.
A Hrltle Trtineeean.
I will offer some suggestions for the.
trousseau of a bride of fairly good cir
cumstances, who expects to enter Into
social life, and from this list may
bo selected what moy suit Individual
needs or preferences The wedding
gown may be of silk, satin or crepe de
Chine, these materials being appro
priate at this season. It should be high
in the neck, and If made with a yoke
of lace which may be detached it can
be altered afterward for evening enter
tainments." One or tivo evening dresses
might be desired, ar.d if one is of
black net or lace It will be very useful.
An evening wrap would be necessary.
A plain, tallor-mado cloth gown for
traveling, shopping and street wear;
another gown of handsome cloth for
visiting, luncheons and receptions. A
pretty droes for days at home may be
of pale-gray cloth, or crepe de Chine
or cashmere, high In the neck. Two
house dresses would seem essential.
Several walnta of enk and of flannel
should be chosen. Dressing jackets of
silk or flannel, and a lounging gown of
cashmere or silk, trimmed with fur,
may be added, these to be worn In one's
bedroom, bo It understood and not els,
where.
It Is not the fashion now to buy doz
ens of undergarments and put them
away, as they are apt to turn yellow
If not used. Elglit of each kind of un
dtrgarments would bii a very moderate
supply, and this would Include eight
each of night dresses, drawers
chemises, corset-covers, skirts, short
white and flannel skirts and under
skirts of silk or wool. Shoes, slippers,
corsets, gloves, hats, and an umbrella
should be in the list, and as many doz
en handkerchiefs and stockings as can
bo afforded. Two silk underskirts
would be found useful.
The household linen sho-.ild bIbo be
supplied by a bride's .parents. . If
there cannot be a very large outlay
there should ba at least a certain
amount expended for this purpose. Six
sheets, six pillow and bolster cases,
two pairs of pillow shams and four
spreads should be allowed for each
bed. An ornamental coverlet of col
ored silk or embroidered linen is I
charming possession. Four dozen tow
el.i would be a moderate supply. Six
tablo cloths and four or six dozen nap
kins, large and small, would be needed,
and one handsome table cloth, with
napkins to match, for dinner parties.
A few embroidered center-pieces and
a dozen or two dainty dollies are at
tractive add! lions.
The bride whose parents can give
the small silver and some furniture,
cblna and glass is well provided for
starting housekeeping. The Dellnea

A treat deal Is being said and writ
ton just now about the general unrest
In the labor world, the signs of which
are taken to be the numerous strikes
nnd troubles roported from various
places. A recent artlclo that exeltod
wldo attention pointed out that while
the Inrronso of wages was about 28
percent, the Increase In the cost of liv
ing was about 34 percent over that of
several years ago and the tendency
was upward. Without going Into the
details of the subject It may be said
In a genaral way timt t'.ie law of sup
ply and demand Is todny no longer t
bo regarded ns nn arbitrary settlor
of vexed questions. In a word as re
gards the domestic commodities tho
etatement that "tho increase of de
mand thoiwh In the beginning It may
sometimes raise the price of goods
never falls to lower It In the long run"
hardly holds trim now; certainly not
to the degree It did when Adam Smith
lived and wrote.
"There Is no law cf supply and do-
tmnnd today," said a wholesalo dealer
recently, "and never again will luxu
ries be within the reach of thoso
In poor or modorato circumstances a
they used to bo In the season when
the market was glutted. Markets do
not get glutted today. . Why? Be
cause the excess Is Immediately gob
bled up for cold ctorage to supply the
early demand of a future season. Thus
prices vary very little throughout tho
year and Inst season's food becomes a
delicacy when It is placed upon your
plato in advance of Its arrival from
the farm, or tho field, or the sea. Tho
flth you eat today with such gusto may
be list year's fish, tho eggs last year's
lay, the beef, siiunb, chicken all twelve
months old. Thus there Is no such
excess as will make prices go down;
no such scarcity as would make prices
go up. In times of great production
the poor man no better can afford to
purchase luxuries or delicacies than he
could In times of scarcity."
TImo was when prices solely de
pended upon supply and demand;
plenty of wheat meant cheap bread
and a draught meant no grazing, henco
no sheop, and consequently high prlce3
for mutton chops. The application of
the principles of thermo-dynamics to
the business of preserving food prod
ucts has changed all that. The ad
vent of cold storage has served In a
great degree to nullify the effects of
the once Inexorable law of supply and
demand. As hunger suffers no no
ticeable fluctuations, the demand is
also an established quantity, and a per
fect equilibrium is thereby established
by which almost Immutable prices In
all the food products of the world, in
ail seasons, will eventually be se
cured. Whereas In former years, for In
stance, a too bountiful supply of eggs
caused the prlre of that necessity to
drop to within the reach of the very
poorest class, today there Is no longer
any possibility of a recurrence of tho
conditions which made this reduction
In price possible. There are 100,000,
000 eggs In cold storage at present
awaiting the pleasure of the public.
While In former years these would
have been almost given away to save
them from going bad, today tho
science of refrigeration permits of
their being kept "fresh" for months
and even years. The eggs produced
in the United States during 1899 num
bered 1.293,819.186 dozens, represent
ing a value of $144,286,158, so that tho
importance of that one Item in the
food list is not to be lightly thought of.
But while cold storage precludes
over-supply and thereby excessive low
prices, It must be conceded that it also
preveuts taurines in one or another of
the food necessities. Eggs have fre
quently been cornered In years when
the supply was small and prices raised
as high as tho public would Btand
them. Today there Is the unknown
quantity of eggs in cold storage to
contend with and the yield from poul
try yards Is no longer a criterion. Eggs
will never again be sold at ten cunt
a dozen, but if they ever cell as forty
cents a dozen, as they have in the past,
it will be because the supply of the
whole world has been cornered and
not because of a short supply.
The possibility of an International
egg truBt 1b too far remote to be dis
cussed, for another effect of tho devel
opment of tho cold storage business
has been to obliterate distance. For
a number of years France has been
supplying the British market witn
fresh eggs. The egg exports from
Cherbourg to the United Kingdom in
1900 aggregated 373 tons, but at pres
ent the refrigerating plants with which
modern ships are equipped permit tho
distant colonies of Great Britain to
compote with her next-dor neighbors,
I is only a question of time when
New Zealand, Australia and Egypt will
supplant France as the egg supplier-ln-ordiuary
to the British public. Al
ready last year the exports of eggs to
Great Britain through Cherbourg bad
fallen off 57 tons, while the exports
from Egypt had Increased by 43 tons.
The modern methods of refrigerating
now permits New South Walos to land
its egg products In London in first
class condition, even after travelling
half-way around the world. For this
reason any attempt .to establish' a fic
titious price on eggs In New York
would be followed by shipments of
eggs from Europe. This was demon
strated a year ago with beef. The
American "big five," the packers who
together constitute the beet trurt, with
an Invested capital of $189,193,264 and
n annual product of f785.6R2.433, vio
lated a rate agreement Into which thoy
had entered with the Australian cat
tlemen for the British market nnd at
tempted to undersoil them. The Aus
tralians retaliated by cutting their
prices, and a rate war ensued that
brought down tho prlco of beef to a
level which meant a loss of $1,000,000
a month to the American exporter.
In order to make up this million which
they wore presenting monthly to thi
British public the American beef
trust deliberately advanced the price
to Ametlran consumers a million a
month.
Controlling, as It does, the beef sup
ply of America, 'there Is no limit to
the price which tho beef trust could
exact from the American public were
It not that cold storage permits tho
exporting of Australian beef to Amer
ica. Tho growth of the business of pre
serving meats fresh by freezing has
camed a decreaso In the curing or
salting of beef of 76 percent In the last
ten years. The amount of fresh mut
ton sold has Increased from 267.333.788
pounds In 1S:'0 to 404,183,601 pounds
In 1900, or over 51 percent. Tho
amount of poultry slaughtered since
It was demonstrated that it could be
kept fresh for five years had Increased
60 percent.
English snlpp, ycllowle, plover,
quail, mudhpn, galllnute, surfblrd, cur
lew, water chicken, jacksnipe and bay
snipe, thanks to cold storage, are no
longer rarities, only enjoyed during
certain seasons of tho year. To bo
sure, when- they hnd all to be con
Fumed within a certain restricted pe
riod It frequently occurred through
oversupply that the prices fell much
lower than those now artificially es
tablished by a regulated and even sup
ply, but then tho supply was not al
ways In excess of the demand.
During the recent agitation against
tho beef trust it was asserted In some
quarters that one reason for the high
price of beef waa that much of the
supply was being held in cold storage.
An attempt was made by a commit
tee to get at the facts In this particu
lar case, but no report was ever made
of the results of tho Investigation.
There Is no doubt, however, that the
choicer cuts are held In cold storage
to supply the demand In restaurants
of the first class, which Is always larg
est when things are out of season.
