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.

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
