f WOMAN'S WORLD. THE TALENTED DAUGHTER AND AS SISTANT OF A FAMOUS SCHOLAR. Small IndtiMtri>M For Women—Wom en at the Polls—llitrrle'a Strange Theory—Poem In Silk—The Very Latest In Note Taper*. 1 Miss Rosamond Itodkinson is assist ing her father to give to the world the flrst complete translation of the Baby lonian Talmud ever prepared. For the last five years she has been travel ing in every part of the United States, bringing the attention of Jewish com munities everywhere to this great work, and interesting her coreligionists as well as prominent churchmen of other denominations In the signifi cance and value of Its contents. Dr. Michael L. Rodklnson, who came to America with his family from Vi enna ten years ago, has been laboring at lils translation for over 40 years, giving up practically bis whole life to It The original work of 03 large vol umes has been reduced to 25 by con densation and a more compact system of treating the wonderful range of sub- Miss KOSAMONI) RODKINSON. Jects dealt with. Dr. Rodkinson's task has been made doubly hard because he Is not a good English student, and a great deal of the labor of turning this translation into literary English has fallen on his daughter, who Is probably the only woman living who has a thor ough knowledge of the Talmud. Miss Rodklnson, who Is only 24 years old, was born in Vienna. "I have lived in the atmosphere of the Talmud ever since I was a baby," she said recently, "and my father, years before I was born, was looked on as the most prom inent living exponent of the work. I am in love with my present duties, and I feel that in bringing people in touch with my father's achievement I am opening up to them a mine of knowl edge that for sound sense, wide range of matters dealt with and the laws of health, social intercourse and jurispru dence that it lays down lias no equal In the world. Its precepts are as valu able today as wheu they were com piled." Small IndtiMtrleH For Women. Two cases that have recently come under the writer's notice would seem to emphasize the statement that the making of homemade bread, cake and pastry offers a profitable occupation outside that part of the field that is covered by the women's exchanges. In one of the cases referred to a young girl living In a suburban town and known to make excellent bread for her own family's use was asked by a neighbor to Include for her an extra loaf or two in every baking. Other neighbors heard of and duplicated this arrangement. From this modest be ginning the friendly service grew to a business. The villuge is one much fre quented in summer by wealthy New Yorkers, and from May to November the youthful baker has difficulty In filling her orders for bread and rolls even by working from 0 a. m. often till nearly midnight. Iler custom has made necessary the replacement of the fam ily cook stove with a fine new range, In whose ovens Id loaves of bread may be baked at once. The second case Is In a certain neighborhood of this city. Dwellers in the locality noticed, a little over u year ago. a sign on the basement door of a modest borne in the quarter announcing the sale every Sat urday of homemade cakes and pies. One after another the housekeepers in the vicinity made a trial of the wares, found them excellent, and the business lias grown from a weekly to a daily In dustry. The goods are delivered in neat boxes. Certain specialties, such as soft gingerbread and raised biscuit, are provided on certain days of the week. Undoubtedly there are other suburban towns and more city neigh borhoods where the service could be Introduced to the mutual profit of sup plier and consumer.—New York Even ing Post. Women n< tlie Polls. The fact that there was lighting on election day among the men of Den ver is promptly seized upon by eastern papers as an argument against letting women vote. The Boston Herald says: "We do not mean that disturbances would not have occurred in Colorado if the men only bad been permitted to vote, but It Is clear that the partici paney of the women in political mat ters has not produced that ameliora tion of partisan asperity which it Is sometimes assumed would follow." To Judge of this, we must know what the political conditions were in Colorado before women voted. Con gressman Shafroth, in a public address delivered lu Washington about two years ago, said: "I have seen the time when a political convention without a disturbance aud the drawing of weap ons was rare. That time Is past In Colorado, and it is due to the presence of women." What was formerly the rule has now become the exception. In the old times there were disturb ances in almost every city. At this election there was a disturbance In only one city and that under peculiar ly aggravating conditions. It is not charged that any woman took part in the riot- Let us reverse the case. Suppose that in one of the states where both men and women vote several hundred women had engaged in a free tight on election day, while all the men behav ed in a perfectly orderly way. Would the bad behavior of the women have been a proof of the unfitness of men to vote? The Herald would hardly say so. It is a poor rule that will not work both ways.—"A. S. B." in Wo man's Journal. ISarrle'a Strangle Theory, A very strange theory is propounded in Mr. J. M. Barrie's new play. It is one of which those who hold the rights of women to be sacred will rightly dis approve, and assuredly the balance of justice does not seem to be very evenly held between men and women in this new dramatic problem, but the author would have us believe that the story he has set forth Is not merely made for the stage, but is one of everyday life, und as such we are asked to ac cept his solution of the problem pro pounded as the best In the circum stances. Woman, it needs not to be said, is always forgiving and generous to the opposite sex, but why should a play be written to show that to save one man from the unhapplness which his own sin brings upon him two women must sacrifice themselves? The life of a pure aud innocent girl must be clouded, the life of the "other woman" must be wrecked, because if either or both treated according to his deserts the despicable creature who has deceived wife and victim alike the punishment would be greater, we are asked to believe, than the sin war rants! Again, it is suggested in this production that a woman had far better marry a rake than risk splnsterhood, and indeed the character through whom this theory is propounded is even made to say that rather than lose the joys of wifehood and maternity a woman should close her eyes to the fact that her lover has wrecked an other woman's honor, and, maybe, broken her heart. Surely It is as un just to the noble band of spinsters to accept such a theory as It is degrading to the honorable estate of matrimony. —•Philadelphia Ledger. PoeniH In Silk. For some years Japan has inundated the markets of the world with her squares of stuff called foukousas, which are used to wrap up the presents sent to friends in that country, and Europeans have not hesitated to make of them brilliant ornamental designs for modern furniture. In cushions, screens, etc., they introduce a charm ing freshness; a flight of birds, a swarm of butterflies amid brilliant flowers, giving the eye a vague dream of cheerful light, of fancies and sum mers that have no end. But words can only faintly evoke an idea of what these poems in silk really are. It sometimes takes ten years to finish one of these pictures. It makes one think of the embroideries of the "King's House" in days of old, who styled themselves "embroiderers and painters." It is the same obscure aud anonymous labor as that of the arti sans of the middle ages, who have be queathed to posterity marvelous litur gical embroideries and sublime cathe drals. One would really say that embroid ery had revived in the country of its origin, Asia. But Instead of returning to the land of its cradle it has followed the general evolution toward the north and taken refuge in Japan. No matter where these silks are placed, they are a delight to the eye, a symphony in lines, a poem in colors, and our frail modern art furniture harmonizes splen didly with the mural hangings of an art so Intense and so new.—Exchange. The Latest Note Taper. Tinted note paper is again in fashion. More than this, the smartest papetrie is elaborately decorated, and the quali ty of the paper itself has been radical ly changed for the autumn-winter trade. Cadet gray, French blue, Yale blue and gray green papers, that have always been popular, as well as the bank note, cream laid, kid and linen finishes, are all quite out of the run ning today. The correspondence sup plies now come In pastel or the deeper autumn tones, having a cartridge and burlaps finish. The pastel tinted sheets are cut quite small indeed. It is an evidence of good taste just now to use small sized paper for letters as well as notes, and all the stamping is done in very small script or old English lettering. Furi ously as the black letter fashion raged, It lias with unexpected suddenness been dropped from general use, and it is a prevailing notion to have the ad dress stamped across the upper corners of the sheets and at the left hand side. The dating must be given at the con clusion of the missive, and monograms and crests are rarely or never seen on unythlng but engraved invitations. Jam en R. Lowell and Women. In reply to assertions made about James Ilussell Lowell's attitude toward women, William Dean Howells, in a recent paper, says: "He loved chiefly the companionship of books and of men who loved books, but for women generally he had an amusing diffidence. He revered them and honored them, but he would rather not have them about. This is oversay ing it, of course, but the truth Is in what I say. There was never a more devoted husband, and he was content to let his devotion to the sex end with that He especially could not abide I difference of opinion in women. He valued their taste, their wit, their humor, but he would have noue of their reason. I was by one day when he was arguing a point with one of his nieces, and after it had gone on for some time and the impartial witness must have owned that she was getting the better of him, he closed the contro versy by giving her a great kiss, with the words, 'You are a very good girl, my dear,' and practically putting her out of the room. As to women of the flirtatious type, he did not dislike them. No man perhaps does, but he feared them, and he said that with them there was but one way, and that was to run." CivlLity In Good Capital. Look ut the army of salesmen and saleswomen In our stores. There is not, I believe, as capable or honest a corps of workers In the world. Yet a French or English shopgirl will sell twice as many goods in the same time, and the customer will come again and again to be served by the sume woman. Why? Because she is civil and courte ous. There is something pitiful as well as ridiculous in the Indifference, the hau teur, the actual rudeness of many of the intelligent young men and women behind our counters. Yet civility Is their capital. By selling gloves or tin ware they earn their living, and the more civil they are the more they sell. Most of my readers know a few sales women who have remained In some of the old business houses until an hon ored old age and by their ability and courtesy have made for themselves hosts of friends. It is u pity that these foolish young people could not learn their business from them.—An Ameri can Mother in Ladles' Home Journal. Proine For Clubwomen. The Ohio State Federation met on Oct. 24, 25 and 20 in the old and histor ical city. Marietta. The meeting was admirably planned, and a fine and in structive programme was carried out. "Marietta men attended the opening meetings and enjoyed them," writes a correspondent of the Toledo Blade. Judge Follett. who is known all over the state, was one of these. He said: "It is wonderful what you clubwom en are doing in the way of child educa tion and development. As a member of the hoard of charities and correction I am In a position to see this. While abroad this summer I went with Miss Hall of the state board to visit a prison in Brussels. She was denied admit tance. The women of Europe are not allowed to do reform work in such places. But let our clubwomen go on with their kindergartens and play grounds, and after awhile there will be 110 need to visit prisons." Women at IloclieNter I'nivermlty. The University of Rochester opened to women this fall. Two years ago the trustees of the university agreed to admit women 011 condition that SIOO,- 000 to offset the cost of the experiment should be raised. Subsequently the sum required was reduced to $50,000. The morning of the last day of grace dawned, and the women pushing the cause of education at Rochester lack ed SB,OOO of the nmount necessary to succeed. Then Susan R. Anthony arose heroically to the rescue. She subscrib ed $2,000, and the balance she collected 111 person Just in time to save women from being debarred from the univer sity for another year. Don't Got Excited. Lady Georginna Grey, the oldest resi dent of Hampton Court Palace, in England, has lately died In her hun dredth year. She was once a cele brated beauty. She was the daughter of Karl Grey, the reform statesman, who preceded Lord Melbourne. It is said she believed that the way to live long was not to allow anything to agitate one's feelings and that she deprecated having any member of her family engage In politics, attributing the enrly death of her brother, the late Earl Grey, who died at 02, to that pernicious habit. For Winter Fnn. Prudent women are now having their winter furs put In order. Provident women can cleanse their furs at home by applying bran to them. The bran should be heated in an oven, and when quite hot it should be rubbed well into the fur with a piece of flannel. After It has remained in the fur for several hours the garment should be thorough ly shaken to remove all particles and brushed until thoroughly clean. It Is often necessary to apply the bran twice If the fur is very soiled. The latest freak of society women is to perfume themselves with scent tab lets, which are distributed in the hems of skirts, In the coat pockets, in the corsets, in the palms of gloves, and even in the coiffure. They are also scattered freely among luces and hand kerchiefs. Violet is the favorite per fume, and more violet tablets are sold than those with any other scent.
