} WOMAN'S WORLD. THE HANDSOME DAUGHTER OF A MONTANA INNKEEPER. Sho Wanted Wafflon- I The Credibility of Women— Honom For the Queen. A French llclcn Keller—Her Mla ■ lon In the Twentieth Century. The daughter of a Montana innkeep er Is to become mistress of one of the finest New York mansions on Fifth av enue if she will. She is Miss Mabel Foster, the pretty daughter of John W. Foster of Butte, Mon. Her marriage to Senator William A. Clark's son will take place early in June. The mansion is the marble mys tery that Is building on Seventy-sev enth street and Fifth avenue, the prop erty of Senator Clark, the copper king. Miss Foster is engaged to William Audrews Clark. .Jr.. the senator's fa- MISS MAUKI. FOSTER, vorite son and namesake. So pleased Is the senator with the match that he has said lie will give her two wedding presents. The first shall be a $1,000,000 check on lier wedding day. The other will be the keys of the mansion as HOOH as it Is finished. The present plan, subject to such changes as the bride may graciously dictate, is that the marriage shall take place early in June at Butte. All the Clark family will be present. Mr. and Mrs. William Andrews Clark. Jr., will then go abroad for the rest of the year, returning to take possession of the marble mansion the following spring. William A. Clark and John W. Foster were both pioneer miners in the moun tains of Montana. Today one has a fortune variously estimated from $00,- CMXLOOO to $ 120,000,1 H)0; the other has no fortune at all. Mabel Foster was known for a time as "the belle of Butte." The fame of her beauty and charm spread to the smaller but more exclusive city of Hel ena. Later all Montana knew her fame. She is Indeed a slender, black eyed girl of 20. Her black hair stops just short of being curly, and women de scribe it as "fluffy." Her smile is quick and charming. She has high spirits and is impulsive and kindly. She was born in Butte. She has al ways lived there except when she was at a girls' school on the Hudson.—New Y'ork Journal. She Wnntrd Wafllra, And they say that women do not ap probate the good things of life and the pleasures of the table! It was at the Woman's Exchange on 'Forty-third street the other day that this story was entirely disproved. The exchange Is noted for the delicacies provided at its luncheon rooms. Each and every article Is made by an expert in that particular line, and the result, as In everything where there Is specialized work, is ex cellent. The wealthiest women in the city, women from the best hotels in the city, are regular patrons, and strangers in town find their way there sooner or later. The patronage is so good that the lunchrooms are always full, and as soon as a table is vacated there Is some one to occupy it. So it happened that after this last period of cold weather there was a rush to the exchange. For a number of days the women had been bouse bound, and with the first warm weather they appeared out in great numbers, and it seemed that every woman made straight for the exchange to have a good luncheon once more. With the lunchrooms full on ordinary occasions this sudden exodus from their homes to the exchange filled it to overflowing. Every one about the place fell to, clear ed tables, took orders and helped in ev ery way to make the service more rap id. But still the place was crowded, and the big central hall from which the two lunchrooms are reached was crowded with waiting women. Sud denly there was a commotion among them, for one woman had bum into tears and was shaking with agonized sobs. Every one was sympathetic and tried to soothe the sufferer, visions of some dire grief rising before their eyes. At last the unhappy one became calmer and between the sobs put ber sorrow into words: "I—l—have been—waiting a whole week—for—for waffles, and now—now I don't believe I am going to get any after all." Now that the exchange owns the building it occupies it hopes to put on an extension as soon as possible, and this will enlarge it to provide more ad equate accommodations for its lunch eon guests —New York Times. The Credibility of Wo mem. Miss H haps the l st kn< in New fork. gal Aid so ciety and president of the Woman's Lawyers' club M Loew has abun dant opportunity to know the feeling* ©f women who are practicing lawyers. In talking with a representative of the press Miss Loew said: "My experience has not been long, to be sure, but for the time I have been in practice I have had exceptional op portunities to note the difference, if any existed, in the credibility of a woman and a man when on the witness stand. All day long I deal with men and wom en here in the Legal Aid society. I have viewed women from a legal viewpoint, 1 think without prejudice. I have found that there are men liars and there are women liars. A liar of one sex will lie as readily as a liar of an other. I have never been able to detect any difference. It used to be said that you could tell when a man was lying more readily than you could when a woman was lying. I have got over that superstition. It is the same in both sexes. I have seen men lie on the wit ness stand in a manner which was wonderful, and I have seen women do the same thing. How many perjuries are committed by men every day? Take an equal number of witnesses of each sex and sift out the proved perjuries committed, and you will llud tliat there is practically no difference. "As to a. woman talking herself into a belief that what she before Imagined was a fact. I have seen men do the same thing time and time again. Some women are hysterical, and so are some men. It is only a difference in the man ifestation of the same disease. Men be come cross, brutal and bearish, while a woman becomes as a rule tearful. Both ore imaginative when in this condi tion."—New York Press. Roses For the queen. Perhaps the most pleasing gift re ceived by the late queen of England last Christmas day was the box of magnificent "Queen of Edgely" roses from Philadelphia. It took no less than two years to produce the 12 magnifl cent roses which comprised this Ameri can gift. Two years ago, when the British Horticultural society hold ail exhibition of roses In Buckingham pal ace, her majesty graciously asked a rose grower of Philadelphia what he as an American thought of the English roses. He replied that they were very pret ty, but that every one grew better roses In the United States. Her majesty then expressed a desire to see some of the more gorgeous of the American roses. The American on his return home began experimenting in order to pro duce the finest roses ever grown and also to discover a method of preserva tion certain for at least 12 duys. After 24 months he accomplished both ends and sent the dozen promised roses in charge of u famous Loudon florist. The roses were eight inches in diameter and had stems one yard long. The large blooms were shaped like the American Beauty, but were a bright pink color. The precious flowers arrived in perfect condition. The ends of the stems were placed in long glass vials filled with water and capped by rubber fitted closely around the stem. The opening buds were then wrapped in waxed pa per to exclude the air, and then the roses, stem and all, were burled, each by Itself, In soft moss dampened and packed in cracked ice. The box of roses was then sealed In a strong box and placed in the Lucania's cold storage room. When the box was opened, it was found that the buds hail burst into full blossom and were en trancingly fragrant and beautiful. They were consigned 1o the English secretary for foreign affairs, who saw that they were safely delivered to her majesty. Thus it was that the loveliest and largest reses in the world came to the good queen on Christmas day.— Leslie's Weekly. A French Helen Keller. Marie Ileurtiu, writes a French cor respondent, was born deaf, dumb and blind. Up to the time when she was 10 years old she was apparently not nly completely idiotic, but also a most Impossible little person, who lay down on the ground and rolled at the slight est thing which displeased her and was altogether so violent that she was sent away from two institutions for deaf mutes and passed on to the nuns at Lamay as a perfect little savuge for whom It was quite useless to try to do anything. These devoted sisters first tamed the little shrew, then taught her. Marie neurtin had brought away with her a little knife, which she seemed to love. Sister St. Marguerite, who had got the child's confidence in away, took away the knife, making meanwhile in the hand of the little girl the sign which In the deaf and dumb language means knife. Then the knife was put back into her hand with the same sign. Aft er a time Marie Ileurtin began to com prehend that there was a connection between the sign and the object. From the knife the Sister St. Marguerite went on to repeat the same experience with the fruits the little girl liked best. In the end she understood that for ev erything there was some particular sign by which it could be designated, i Her idea of space is so exact that she can walk directly across a room and open a door without confusion or hesi tation. Unconsciously she must meas ure her movements, for if interrupted she loses herself entirely. To be old Is something thnt happens to you when you have "walked a great, great deal." Marie Hucrtin has a keen sense of beauty and an Intense a-sthetic pleas ure in beautiful things. Her sense of tourh is so exquisitely delicate that she can enjoy line and color in an embroid ery or tapestry by simply passing her hand over the design.—Harper's Bazar. Her Mln.lon In theTirentlrth Crntnry The twentieth century will be pre eminently the woman's century. It will be her duty, bcr privilege, to do its choicest work. What is the noblest thing she may do with her life, with her leisure? The thoughtful American girl 's coming to see this truth, that the nation's greatest need Is spiritual ity. that the ideal type from now on will be the spiritual woman. It is not the religious side of spiritual life which is lacking. The churches and hundreds of God fearing men and women are at tending to that. It is that portion of spiritual life not directly connected with religion—the portion which has ever been woman's peculiar province— which is neglected. In the physical conquest of this coun try woman bore the heroic part of the silent sufferer. Important as was the role she played then, it grew even more important in the intellectual conquest which followed. That conquest is so nearly complete that it may be taken for granted. An education—such an education as the world never dreamed of heretofore—is now within the reach of every American boy and girl. It ex tends from the kindergarten through the university. But having become the most powerful, the richest and the most resourceful of modern nations we are not to rest there in the belief that progress is all to be measured by war ships and the dollar mark. Every |seo ple has gained a little on the great lad der that humanity Is climbing, and though material progress comes first spiritual must follow, or the nation falls.—George W. Gerwig in Woman's Home Companion. She Bnlaea Dncka and Bees. A flourishing little farm of three acres on the north end of Lake Cliam ,plain produces yearly more than 2 1 /j tons of honey and 1,500 ducks, besides quantities of fruit which is marketed at the neighboring summer hotels, li is owned and run by Miss Frances En len Wheeler, for several years a ste nographer and typewriter in this city. In an interview Miss Wheeler said: "It seems a far cry from a stenogra pher's place in New York to the owner ship and superintendence of a duck and bee ranch. Yet in looking back ward the sense of harmony between the two occupations deepens. I have grown to understand that it does not so much matter what we do as how we do it, that the qualities required for a suc cessful stenographer are equally neces sary for a duck and bee ranch. In both callings, if success is to be attained, Ig norance must be overcome by persever ance, tact and common sense."—New York Tribune. Draotlfnl Fan From Italy. A fan that is notable for its cost and beauty lias Just been given by Mrs. Jo seph Drexel to the Museum of Arts and Sciences of Philadelphia. By spe cial permission of Queen Marghorita of Italy the fan was made for Mrs. Drex el by the royal artisans. The workmen were instructed to employ their great est skill without limit of cost to make a unique article. The sticks are of tor toise shell held together with gold clasps. They are exquisitely carved and richly inlaid with diamonds and pearls and bear the queen's crown set with rubies and diamonds, below which the cross of Savoy is wrought in small diamonds. The lace was made at the school which the queen estab lished for the encouragement of Un lace Industry. On a panel at one side the queen's autograph, "Marghorita," appears. The fan cost Mrs. Drexel more than SI,OOO. To Finlnh Iler Ilaaband'a Slntur. Mrs. Hold Smith has scored a triumph among men artists of the world. Her husband held the contract for the exe cution of the Sherman statue to he erected In Washington. His death oc curred when the work was well under way. Immediately a great many art ists applied to the government for the unfinished tusk. This work, however, has been assigned to Mrs. Hold Smith, who will complete the statue according to her husband's design, thus accom plishing her desire to preserve his fume embodied in the original plan.— Harper's Bazar. Not Shown In Drew, Whatever feelings of sadness the death of Queen Victoria has caused among the women of this country, there has been 110 attempt to show It In dress. While all England as one wo man went into black and while there were sympathizers enough in New York to bring out big mass meetings of mourners, there was no mourning worn. People interested in black dress goods watched to see what the result would be, but there was no perceptible difference in the trade in black goods. —New York Letter. There Is a qlce old lady in a town not far from T"4w York who is making a neat little sum of money with one of the accomplishments which were fash ionable when she was a young girl. She paints on glass and makes many tops for looking glasses after the old style. She is now between SO and 90 years old, and there Is an added interest in her work because of her age. A very pretty gown has Insertions of renaissance lace with a falling ruffle nround the edge of the yoke edged with eluny. This ruffle Is carried down on either side of the opening at the front, which is closed with little ribbon bows. There are insertions of the lace set in a graceful design at the tops of the sleeves of this gown. Single faced velvet ribbon is prom ised as one of the trimmings for fou lard gowns, and it is to be stitched on at the upper edge. Graduated bands of piece velvet were stitched on to the skirts of the winter models, so It is only the same idea differently express ed. Miss Adelaide J. Thorpe of New York city Invented the successful design for the official flag of the Pan-American exposition, selected from more than 500 designs submitted. Miss Thorpe has ajso been appointed assistant Inte rior decorator for the exposition. New Executive Board Member. j Henry Collins, of Carbondale, yester day received word from Indianapolis that he has beon appointed a member of the national executive board, United Mine Workers, to take affect on May 1. It Is the first time in the history of the present union that District No. 1, the largest in the anthracite region, has had j a representative on the national board. The executive board is limited to eight members and the appointment of Mr. Collins means that one of the members must have resigned, but which one it is Mr. Collins does not know. There are only two other anthracite district men on the board. They are Benjamin James and John Fahey. Mr. Collins likely succeeds the latter member. Mr. Collins will bo one of the ten men to direct the destinies of the greatest labor organization now in existence.

Dorothy's mother tvas trying to teach lier good manners and told her site must always say when she went away from a place where she had been in vited that she had had a good time. Recently site was at a party where there were several little boys, and they had a big fuss. The little girl lias it temper of her own, und when" her moth er started to go she was so angry with one of the boys that she was crying as hard as site could. "I won't like you - one bit," she said, with a stamp of her foot, "and I never—never—will come here again." Then, remembering her manners, she sobbed out, "Rut I've— had—a—perfectly lovely time." You will waste time if you try to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by 'starving yourself. That only makes it worse when you do eat heartily. You always need plenty of good food propeyly digested. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the result of years of scientific research for something that would digest not only some elements of food but every kind. And it is the one remedy that will do it.
