I T is regrettable, but none
the less true that few
women Day the proper
amount of attention to
their footwear, and
when one considers how
important this feature
of the dress is to
the well dressed wo
man, it becomes re
markable.
To those who have
made a study of and
understand the art of
dressing to the best ef
fect there is nothing
that causes them more
discouragement than
the careless manner in wnich the aver
age woman selects her footwear, A shab
by. poorly selected boot can mar the ef
fect of a costume that is otherwise above
reproach.
I secured from a recognized New York
house ecvcral photographs showing the
proper patterns In the very latest styles
of shoes. The cuts presented on this page
are authoritative, and these shoes will be
worn this spring and summer by all well
dressed women.
The full dress shoe is an Oxford tie of
the finest varnished leather and light
French kid with a thin beveled sol -. The
heel is of the usual style of full dress
shoes.
The house shoe is one of the very uret-
taste and originality. Therefore what
ever she ties about her neck must be
hand-made, for this more or less shuts
out the possibility of wholesale imita
tion of anv particularly nice designs.
One woman who took advantage of this
sentiment prevailing aniong her sex,
earned a tldv $500 last summer by making
every variety of little silk. lawn, linen
and lace turn over for fall stocks and
Sturdy Out Door Shoes
to appear exactly as if they had always
been an ornamental part of the toilet
they decorate.
Beautiful Bath Robes
The same sort of aristocratic extrava
gance, as that which presides over the
American woman’s choice of fine linen,
is now showing in her selection of dainty
becoming negligees. The robe de chain*
bre is no longer loaded with lace and is
no longer as intricate in its design as a
Chinese puzzle, but is simple elegance it
self. Loose and flowing as a Shiek's Bur
nous is the ideal plan on which the beau
tiful light wool and silk ones are fash
ioned for summer lounging. Some of
them in fact -are made on the Burnous
pattern; and others have long full skirts
with a pretty bolero gathering in the am
plitude of the garment about the shoul-
ers. A girdle of ribbon, with gilt tagged
ends, usually encircles the wearer’s
body, at the waist, or Just under the
arms. Silk flannel and extremely fine Al
batross cloth, crepe brilliante and corded
wash silks are the- goods of which the
majority of the true negligees are made;
though later on the women will wear re
ally exquisite little white batiste bath
lobes. These are closely allied to the new
lingerie and are artistically needle
worked instead of finding all their splen
dor In lace.
Artificial Flowers
In the way of artificial flowers a decided
novelty has just made its appearance in
New York, having been introduced by a
party of tourists just arrived from a trip
across the Atlantic. At first glance the
flowers would readily be taken as the real
article, but upon examination It will be
found that almost everything in the coun
terfeits Is made of feathers.
These odd ornaments are made in the
Azores islands by the natives, who use
goose feathers in place of the linen, paper
or wax u;ed in this country. The feathers
expert coloring, bids fair to make the
feather flowers close competitors of the
product now on the market.
As yet there is no factory for the man
ufacture of feather flowers, all that are
made being turned out by the natives
in their several homes. However, a local
firm is contemplating the erection of a
factory—or, at least, the establishment of
the Industry—In this country, so that this
new product may be placed formally on
the market.
So far the feather flower has been re
garded merely as a curio, having been
made only within the last year. The cost
Is a little more than that of the artificial
flowers now to be had In dry goods stores,
but it is counted that with the use of ma
chinery the expense can be minimized.
But. whether as a curiosity or an article
of commerce, the feather flower Is very
attractive.
Smoking Jackets
Tell It not in Gath but it is the solemn
truth that a fair average of well to do
women have bought smoking jackets.
Whether ail those purchased will be
donned for the purpose of enabling their
wearers to enjoy a quiet cigarette in the
solitude of their own apartments, it is
not safe to say; nevertheless the most
fetching little rose silk jackets, shaped,
pocketed and frogged exactly like those
made for men, are for sale In the depart
ments where negligpes aro displayed;
and what is more they sell. They are
all pretty, for the greater number are
made of a ripe rose colored taffeta, that
lends a glow to any complexion, and
they are so cozy and comfortable that
they invite even the most austere woman
to confidences, an easy chair and a mild
cigarette.

The Dry Goods Economist says that the
treasury department has prepared a series
of regulations to stimulate the export
trade in women’s shirt waists by allow
ing a drawback of duty paid on imported
materials entering into their manufacture
when the same are exported. The regu
lations provide that on the exportation
of ladies’ shirt waists, cut “straight” or
on the “bias,” manufactured wholly with
the use of imported material, or with the
use only of imported laces and embroid
eries, combined with domestic material:
also of misses’ blouses, cut “on the bias,”
made wholly from Imported material, or
the bosoms of which only are made from
such material, a drawback will be al
lowed equal in amount to the duties on
the imported materials so used, less the
legal deduction of 1 per cent. Certain
other provisions must be compiled v with
in order to obtain the benefit of the new
rule.

Corsets, to be really comfortable and
perfect, should be made to order, or at
least fitted to the figure carefully. The
little girdles of tape or satin ribbon are
very nice for the slender woman who has
learned to use her backbone instead of
stays for the purpose of Holding herself up
straight.

The owners of JaDanese objects of all
kinds are always the subject of envy, but
especially so now when bronze buckles of
all kinds are so much In vogue. Japanese

ball season, with a zeal and universality
that we showed last year for pin tucks
and lace applications. This is not be
cause we love pin tucks- and lace en
crustations less, but It's a case of mak

broidered robes are no novelty to any
woman out of her teens. At intervals
of five years they always come back to

their last phase; and this spring the veil

Novelties in Neckwear
Among the strictly feminine profes
sions none is just now more lucrative
than the manufacture of neckwear. The
decoration of tea cloths and doilies, sofa
pillows and bureau scarfs with drawn
work and floss flowers threatens to be
come a forgotten art since the demand
for pretty hand-made collars, berthas,
stocks, etc., far exceeds the supply. Ma
chine-made neckwear the well dressed
woman refuses to accept at any price. To
her notion there is a set and a same-
this year she has gone into the lucrative
business of making smart tulle collars,
roped with Imitation pearls, for wear
with decollette evening gowns. She also
makes Irresistible kerchiefs and berthas
of lace and chiffon, and sells them read
ily to women who wish, to freshen up
their old evening waists at little expense
and less trouble. She has improved on
the transparent lace stock for this season
by welding pieces of tea tinted lace to
gether. to form a sort of dog collar, and
weaving through openings in the fretted
band a gold or panne ribbon that ties in
a broad winged bow at the back of the
neck.

be converted into the most delightful or
naments for shirt waist, a reception toilet,
or a ball gown as the need may be; and
one of these collar-makers, who keeps
herself au courant with the fashions, is
preparing a big stock of flat collars. Such
collars, a little later on, with country
muslins that have bell mouthed sleeves,
the women will adopt, pinning the flat
lace paloes for the neck with the quaint
cameo Brooches that their mothers wore
a half century ago.
Sleeves are Growing
The very big sleeves that prevailed four
or five years ago have been restored to
supremacy once more by the simple de
vice of turning themselves up side down.
The balloons of dress goods, that used
to widen feminine shoulders monstrous
ly, and fill the caricaturist with joy, now
swell and puff and ripple and tuck with
a perfectly amazing prodigality of deco
rative materials, about the region of the
wrist and forearm only. Up at the
shoulder all is close and smooth as a
man’s coat sleeve; and, from an artistic
standpoint, this exaggerated revival of
the 1860 method of clothing the arm is a
vast improvement on the ridiculous leg
o’ mutton shapes that were once our
weakness.
The charm of the pear shaped pat
tern on which we now cut our sleeves
lies In the infinite decorative variations
they permit. Nowadays every spirited
dressmaker is a sort of virtuoso in
sleeves and earns fame among her pat
rons by Inventing a special bell and wrist
pouch for every gown she turns out.
Because the spring and summer gowns
need- not be crushed and bundled inside
protecting wraps all limit as to size of
the bags and flounces about the wrist
have been removed, and around about
Easter, when the new frocks get their
first airing, some sleeves of positively
prodigious size will be seen.
Now the woman who looks upon such
sleeves with envious eyes, and can not
afford a dressmaker of genius sufficient
to cope with such charming intricacies,
can hie herself to a good shop and buy
all beautifully complete, as sweet a pair
of ready made sleeves as her church, or
calling, or at home gown need boast.

purpose very well.
The flowers and leaves are fastened to
the stem by means of silk thread, except
ing where wire is necessary, and when
this is done feather trimmings are pasted
over the wire to give it an even surface at
the junction. The feathers are so well
prepared that they imitate to perfection
that natural glossy surface one sees on
fresh flowers and leaves, and this, with
F OR the first time is the 118 years of
its history, a woman was proposed
for membership in the law academy of
Philadelphia recently, and the discussion
caused by this Innovation was so heated
that it was found necessary to postpone
a final vote until the next meeting.
Te debate afose on the nomination of
Mrs. Margaret Klingelsmith, one of the
two women members of the Philadelphia
bar and at present librarian of the Bid
dle law library of the University of Penn
sylvania, by George E. Nltzsehe, regis
trar of the law school.
While the members of the academy
seemed to have the • kindest regard to
ward Mrs. Klingelsmith and spoke high
ly of her learning and ability, they based
the objection solely on the dangerous
precedent which might be established as
a result of her election, which would
mean the opening of the doors of the
academy to all women.
Mrs. Klingelsmith, about whom the
mooted question turns, is a remarkable
woman in many respects. She was born
in Portland, Me., where her father and
grandfather were prominent citizens.
Daniel Webster was a relative. She came
to Philadelphia in 1893, and entered the
law offices of William Draper Lewis, who
is now dean of the University Law
school.
After studying with Dr. Lewis for two
years, Mrs. Klingelsmith entered the
sophomore class of the law school, from
which she graduated with the degree of
LL. B., in 1893, receiving honorable men
tion for the Meredith prize. She was
then admitted to the bar, and subse
quently elected head librarian of the Bid
dle Law library, being the first woman
law librarian In the world. The library
now contains about 30,000 books.

This Woman a Miner
*S. HORTENSE ADAMS, of Boise,
Idaho, passed through the city a few
days ago on her way to New York to
close a deal for the Ironside mine of
Boise district, Idaho, for $250,000 cash.
Mrs Adams is an ufclqu : personality, says
The Denver Times. She is probably the
only woman in the United States who
has discovered a valuable mining prop
erty, developed it to a paying basis and
sold it for a sum approximating $250,000.
The mine is located about twelve miles
from Boise, and was discovered by Mrs.
Value of Folding Furniture
T HE twentieth century cabinet maker
has earned the endearing gratitude of
the men and women who live in hall bed
rooms, or who of necessity often change
their location, when following the peri
patetic army regiment or traveling dra
matic company, by manufacturing a new
type of furniture that economizes space
and the trouble of packing in the most
wonderful way. This new and remarkable
folding furniture is all things to all indi
viduals. Only three pieces of It are re
quired to make any room habitable. A
folding wardrobe, a dressing table and a
washstand will render a hall bedroom os
cozy as possible, and yet have space for
locomotion; for each piece performs at
least three different functions. The dress
ing table can be converted into a writing
desk by the simple expedient of pulling
out what would appear to the uninitiated
to be the top drawer’s bottom; and, by
taking out two screws, the whole top cf
the chest of drawers lifts off, two more
leaves draw out and an excellent little
dining table is the result. When the
owner of such a protean object wishes to
pack up and move, the pivotal mirror on
the bureau folds down on its face and
bich she has ripped the old onejj, j fastens firmly, clothes are packed Into the
drawers that lock as securely as a trunk,
and the dressing, dining and writing ta
ble becomes one piece for the expressman
to transport.
Not a bit less astounding i3 the ward
robe made by the designer of this fairy
tale bureau. When a man purchases one
of these -wardrobes he finds it cunningly
contrived with drawers that will hold a
generous supply of linen and underwear,
with boxes for his hats, racks for his
coats and frames that stretch and crease
his trousers. There is even a cabinet for
neckties and one for canes; and yet a
half of this wardrobe can be converted
Into a dressing table or a desk as the
owner has need.
For feminine requirements the wardrobe
is just as useful, and the charm of it all
Is that closed up, locked fast and confided
to the express company, this piece of fur
niture can be shipped from one end of
the country to the other, and its close
packed contents will neve-- be jarred or
crushed. When the hall bedroom will not
admit a wardrobe the lucky occupant can
buy a curtained clothes press with a hat
box top; and on the inside of her closet
door make fast the wall washstand, thus
preserving her single apartment from any
likeness to a bedroom.
Adams under peculiar circumstances.
She Is a widow, still on the sunny slda
of forty, and a few years ago attended a
picnic of some society of Boise. The
lunch was spread on a flat rock, and to
the inquiring mind. of Mrs. Adams it
was soon apparent that the rock which
served as a table was different In ap
pearance from that of the neighboring
ground. She put a piece in her pocket,
and had it assayed in Boise, with the re
sult that a few days afterwards she lo
cated a group of claims and commenced
their development
The results were beyond her expecta
tions. She opened a vein of high-grade
sulphides, which ran from $40 to $60 per
ton. A block of this ore about four feet
square and weighing a ton was brought
to Denver and exhibited at the rooms of
the old mining bureau of this city in the
hope of attracting capital to the enter
prise, and the energetic lady during her
trips to this city was surrounded by local
miners three deep. Mr. Ingersoli, secre
tary of the bureau, went to Idaho and
started the opening of the mine for her.
but as soon as she caught on to the
system Mr. Ingersoli was discharged and
she assumed the management herself.
She secured the aid of New York capi
tal, and has driven a tunnel on the vein
which in a distance of 500 feet has gained
a vertical depth of 200 feet, and opened
an ore body thirty feet wide that is pro
ducing ore of the average value of $30
per ton. The system of reduction adopt
ed is straight amalgamation, but much
of the values Is lost in tailings, and if
Mrs. Adams does not make the sale she
proposes to put in a different plant.

the veil in the Convent of the Sacred
Heart at Albany, in renouncing the world
has given up for her holy work a posi
tion In society, a popularity among her
friends and the worldly enjoyment of a
large fortune which would have tempted
many a girl less devoted to her convic
tions. Miss O'Donnell is the daughter
and only child of the late James O’Dqn-
nell, who left a fortune. By the terms
of his will Miss O’Donnell received the
immediate use of $40,000 and in a few
years the entire estate goes to her. She
was educated in the convent which she
has now entered, after which she made
her home with her mother, who is now
Mrs. John B. Fitzpatrick. She is an ac
complished musician and an artist of
talent. She is twenty-three years old
and has been a social favorite since she
returned from school. The pleasures of
the social world, however, did not turn
her from what she believed was her path
of duty, and so with most impressive and
beautiful ceremonies she has become a
bride of the church.

Woman as Tax Collector
iVI UNICIPALITIES which are com-
m plaining that many of their
citizens evade the payment of their
just proportion of taxes might
do well to take a lesson from
the experience of the borough of Mount
Joy, Pa. For the last three years Miss
Mary Kuhn has been elected tax collector
of the borough, and It is declared that
since she has occupied the office every
cent of taxes has been collected and
promptly turned over to the proper au
thorities. Under the administration of
previous collectors a number of people
have evaded the payment of their taxes
in one way or another. When Miss Kuhn
took charge she started an Investigation
and discovered manv Instances where
taxes had been evaded. In all such cases
she made out bills for the amount due
and personally presented them for pay
ment. In every case she finally succeed
ed enforcing payment and now people
have stopped trying to beat the borough,
knowing that under Miss Kuhn’s watch
ful eye it is practically impossible.

From Parlor to
>? >? Kitchen
EOPLE are becoming much
more sensible about the
furnishing and decorating
of our sleeping apartments,
says a well known author
ity. The laws of hygiene
are gradually impressing
themselves on our minds,
and we find that we can
combine health with artis
tic beauty without great
difficulty.
Our great grandmothers
were very wise when they laid nothing
but strips of carpet on the floors of their
ibedrooms. Of course, the room looked
bare: so much so that the succeeding gen
eration flew to the opposite extreme.
Every inch of the floor was carpeted, with
probably an underlay. The carpet was
firmly nailed down, where it remained
until the annual house cleaning day came
round.
The best method of treating the floo-
of a bedroom is to have It stained or
painted all over, with the distributional
small rugs here and there, and posslWr^a
small drugget for the center of the room.
It should be wiped with a damp cloth fre
quently, especially under the bed, where
dust ai.d dirt accumulate so quickly.
Iron and brass bedsteads have enjoyed
a popularity of long duration, but it seems
now as if they will be superseded by
i wooden ones. These are certainly far
more artistic, though many housewives
cling to the iron bedsteads, declaring them
to be the cleaner. Something new being
offered for beds is the slumber curtain.
It is a piece of art linen, embroidered in
colors, and hung by little rings to half a
dozen hooks In the wall above the head
of the bed. Why it should be called “slum
ber curtain” is a mystery, unless the soft
colors and the flowers are intended to
soothe one to sleep.

Haddock, bass, trout and red snapper
are excellent when baked. After the fish
is carefully washed and dried, put in the
stuffing and sew up the opening with a
trussing needle. Then cut three gashes
in each side of the fish and lay a piece of
salt pork in each cut. Next run a truss
ing needle, holding a double white cotton
cord, through the head and middle of the
body and the tall.- Draw the fish Into the
shape of the letter “S” and tie the cord
firmly. The fish should be placed In an
upright position and dredged with salt,
pepper and flour. PIgce over the back
slices of pork. Allow fifteen minutes to
each pound and baste frequently. The
pork should supply sufficient liquid for
the basting; ff not. add a Uttle water or
soup stock. Garnish with lemon and
parsley and serve with a brown sauce.

One of the most charming novelties
of this season is the new tea table. It has
a double advantage. It Is useful as well
as ornamental. It Is built very much on
the plan of the ordinary, old-fashioned
piano stool. It revolves on a pedestal. It
may be of black wood of brown mahoga
ny of bright red or fresh green oak. Its
advantage will he apparent to any hostess
who has found herself suddenly in need
of a slice of lemon or a lump of sugar sit
uated at the far end of the at which
she is daintily serving tea. Hitherto she
has been obliged to reach over and get it.
Now other times, other methods, she has
only to give the top of her table a sudden
twirl and behold, the object she wants is
under ber baud.

The Chinese cook rice by first wash
ing it thoroughly in cold water. The
amount of water used should be suf
ficient to cover it and rise about an inch
above it in the cooking vessel. Use cold
water always and let it come to a boil
gradually. When it begins to boil hard
remove the vessel to the back part of
the stove or where it may be kept steam
ing for about fifteen minutes, when it
will be sufficiently cooked. Put no
salt in the rice or water while cooking.
The allowance of time for cooking the
rice should be forty-five minutes—twenty
minutes for it to come to the. boiling
point and twenty-five minutes for steam-
ing. ^
Mothers never have any trouble with
the naturally curly locks of their chil
dren, but it is the straight ones whlclj
perplex them. Some “hair doctors sa~
that If a child’s hair be brushed upward
instead of downward from infancy it will
have acquired a tendency to curl by the
end of the first year. In fact, hair
dressing is a detail that receives too
little attention in the case of little girls.
Probably not one mother in three score
studies the contour of her daughter’s
face with a view to finding the most be
coming head dressing.

The cake which graced the wedding
feast at. the marriage of the duke of
Westminster to Miss Shelagh Cornwallis-
West was remarkably large. It stood
seven feet high and weighed 200 pounds.
The castles and country houses of the
families of the young couple were worked
in white Bugar panels round the bottom
tier, the armorial crests being painted
on the second. The cake was surmounted
by a handsome temple, also wrought in
sugar. On the top of this was the bride’s
bouquet.
