t WOMAN'S WORLD. NEW PRESIDENT OF IOWA FEDERA TION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS. Tlf Wif to Iron Shirts A Few Point** on Plnn Pretty Fancy Stock*—€hlmgo Women Who Swim. •rautlC'dl Ltuiy lienry Dentlck. lowa club women have chosen Mrs. Alice A. C. Bailey of Des Moines us their chief. This lively bit of elec tioneering occurred at the bieunlal 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 Womun's club, niKl her promotion to the highest position in the state would interfere, so said the Des Moines club women pointedly, with her official duties at home. Now that Mrs. Bailey bus 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, flrst as recording secretary and then as corresponding secretary, she is qualified to hold the official reins for two years. Aside from work in the DPS Moines Womau's club she Is connected with the I). A. It. aiwl 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 bear a literary progrumme in some centrally located furmhouse. It Is not the city club woman who needs the In spiration of club life so much as the isolated couutry woman, so contends Mrs. Bailey, and It is hoped to make the "club for country women" numer ous in lowa. The Way to Iron Shirts. 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 flrst 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 flat 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. Hub it Iu very well, and if any place feelH sticky wipe it off with a cloth dipped In tepid water. Hove 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 iu the left baud and pulling hard against the Iron. Here as much depends on the left hand as the right. The knnek 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 clear water, stretch It smooth and Iron over again. Hub 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—lt 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 OD 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, rut) 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 i>olnt. Iron and | polish cuffs on a flannel covered board. Wet them also with raw starch or, j more properly, starch water. Press j first upon the wrong side with a very ' hot iron and turn upon the fight side only when nearly dry. A Few Point* on Pin*. The pins for the hair have a patent catch with blunt ends that do not tear the hair. The long pins for the back of belt and collar are very flat and quite mar quise, if thev are strictly fashionable, but there are some women of good taste who deviate from this aod wear the long rToncn bugles of gol(T thac ure quite thin and artistic. But the flat ones are the prettier and keep the line of the figure more grace fully. The stylish ones are of blue en amel, marquise in shape, set In a sllvoj plated lKdy with tiny edge of it show ing outside the stone as a fashionable sole shows around the vamp of a shoe. These are $4 apiece, the one for the belt longer than the one for the collar. When Ntudded with seed pearls, they are more expensive and used for lib erate frocks. The fushlou of having a pin at the back of the collar is becoming more popular every week. It must be very thin If oblong to be pretty ami must be In the form of a horseshoe or cres cent if not oblong. For a woman who is wage earning all day these two plus are especially com fortable and a pretty addition to her costume, for she knows by sorrowful days that It Is an exceedingly hard matter to learn to dress In such away at 8 o'clock in the morning so that the long hours with their many obligations will still keep her Intact and well groomed. The slipping of the belt and collar is one of the nuisances of a busy woman's life, and these long, simple plus, with strong clasps, are a boon. Pretty Fancy Stocks. For a stock which can be depended upon to look well, wear well and be be coming there can be mentioned the one 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 ami flounces and upon skirts if enough of It ran l>e 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 souie lovely roses ami 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 appllqued 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. Quite 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, dainty 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 lie used in place of lace, esi>ecially upon cloth gowns or upon wash dresses. Chicago Women 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 iu 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 Amick, 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 iu a hundred can do. She can entirely submerge herself and walk on the bottom of the pool. One of her diving specialties is railed "the sea lion," because, Instead of polutlng 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 hoy on terra firm a. Among her more humorous perform ances is her imitation of a starfish, when her arms and legs revolve in rapid succession about lier body, and her imitation of a bicycle scorcher, only the bond in strained position be ing out of the water, while the pedal ing motions are made by climbing, as it were, through the water. Roon For Iloanekeopom. An ingenious inventor recently no ticed that housekeepers frequently find It very difficult to keep their clothes lines in proper position, and, investi gating further, he learned 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 iu a strained position. Consequently lie set his brains to work and invented an instrument by means of which any rope or cord can be easily nud 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 begius 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 moans of a prop. Bcantiful I.ndy Henry. Lady Henry Bentick is as good as Bhe is pretty ami as accomplished as she is both fair and virtuous. At the Inst drawing room held by Queen Vic toria this blond flower of the neith countrie came to kiss her sovereign's hand, and, dim though the queen's eye sight was, she promptly commented on the fair loveliness of her youthful sub ject. It is said on good authority that as Lady Ilenry 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 luiel 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 ladies, as chosen so far, are all fair to look upon, and Lady Henry Bentick has 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 ln variably wears a string of wonder ful deeply pink pearls that are heir looms In the Bentick family, which is the family name of the enormously wealthy dukedom of Portland. Women In Parliament. 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, writes 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 elulni to sit in the house of lords during any ordinary assembly of that hoHse. Such ladles as the Countess of Cro martle, 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 tire house. What would happen should any such lady venture to exercise her peeress' rights in that direction the Imagination fails to conceive, but it is easily seen that with the ideas which are at pres ent in the air with regard to the ad vance of women we may ere long have some peeress in her own right or even more than one who will insist on these rights 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 Hellish 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. Crcighton, 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 doe tors in poor 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 Pan-Nanal, a Chinese woman who went through the siege of Tien tsin. On one occasion, when bul lets were coming in at the window as the English woman on whom she was waiting was dressing, she stood and shielded her mistress with her body, saying, "They will have to go through me first before they reach you." All Pan-Nanal's people, except her* sister and her children, were massacred dur ing the siege. I>o not darn fine woolen undergar ments with wool.

Dancing has lost some of its vogue. but physicians have come to its rescue and are prescribing it as a useful exer cise. It is said that dyspeptic and ame nde patients, both men and women, have been advised to waltz at a moder ate tempo at least 30 minutes a day. Troops of parasols are ready for warm weather, with painted sticks, crystal knob ends and gilt frames cov ered with hemstitched and openwork silk, which should match the dress or toque. Praulein Greta Baldauf, a new Ger mt/n poetess, was a waitress last sum mer in a restaurant at Baden Baden. Admirers of her taicut have found her a more agreeable situation. PLEASURE.
