BBut that is the worst time [ ever bad, and he nev said anything out of the way to me. i “You all know what an awful ecrank i my boss is said to be,” said the girl with red hair.

Of course, the boss could not sign the lettors, but when I got up cour- . age to tell him that 1 believed I could do N the work better if he would give me one more trial, what de you suppose he said? ‘Well, he said: ‘It is impossible to, halt ‘ elceted representative by the way, used g.. anything with &0 many people round. could not half dictate the letters. 1B thoso janitors will not bother ag until you get more used to the work. Then T remembered for the first time that a couple of colored men were clean- ing the windows while the letters were being dictated, though I had not noticed them before. He had made the excuse for me out of the kindness of 1 own [ heart. Itell you, now, I appreciated it, and if all ‘cranks’ are as considerate as the gentleman who dictates letters to | me, [ say, leng live the cranks. T think ] itis all bosh about men mistreating irls who work for them and do the i vock in uny kind of shape. They y baven't time.” » *‘Well,” said the girl with a low fore- head and carnest eyes, who had her hair varted because she knew the new style was becoming to her, “I have a boss 1 who is as kind to me as he is to any one, but he is a rectionist.” i “A what?" said the other three - chorus., i *A resurrectionist. He digs up long dead and buried old jokes and tells them to me when he is not busy. Only yosterday he told me about the man who wanted to do something religious and could think of nothing but taking up a collection. It is hard, yqu know, but as the poor old joke goes shivering down the hall back to its grave 1 laugh as hard as 1 can, and so drown the rat- tlo of its dry hones and take life as easy as possible.” Every givl [ am nequainted with is treated as well as she deserves. Bome girls ave dreadfully thought will allow young men to come too sec them at the and talk for half an some other girl, and they will chatter and giggle ane chow gum until they ought to be thrown down the elevator shaft. *That's #0,” said the girl with the roses, “1 like young men,” with a demure glance in the direetion of the flowers, “'but 1 don’t think they should | hang "round the oflice. had better getout and find something to oceupy 9 their minds during working hours, But itis just asyou allsay, if a girl gots abused in any” way it is her own fault. Bhe should get on her dignity and stay on it; the man is not born who would attempt to scold a dignified woman if sho does her work as it should be done, and you know, you could not be really dignified and neglect your work. Of course men are cross sometimes, they have 50 much to worry them, but here is our order. I say, aren't things gotten up nicely by the Commercial club, I move we come here for lunch all the time.” ina "y Talking of men, there is one thing af least in which woman is the superior of any man alive and that is in making L peich preserves. In these days of lons ) discussions and philosophical reason- ings, as to the part the nineteenth century woman should play in the dvama of life, it is nice to know that while man in his superiority knows what peach preserves and plum p serves, and all kinds of jellies are, theve is no man born who can” make them, These carly September duys and the abundance of the crop make all woman think about the things they are going to “put up.” The readers of THE SUNDAY BEE are no ption, and a few suggestions and well tried recipes may not be out of order, To make peach proserves take equal pavts of granulated sugar and large cling stone peaches. Put just enough water over the sugar to wet it thor- oughly and then put on the stove and let it boil for a few minutes, cavefully skim- ming should any black specks to the surface. Parc the peaches cither with a fruit knife or by pouring boiling + water over them, letting them stand for » few moments if you try the latter way, when the skins will be’ easily removed Pour the boiling sirup over the peaches and let them stand until the next day. Then put them on the fire and boil for forty-five minutes, or until the peaches are clear and well cooked. Puat away in swall quantities, as they will not keep po well if they ave disturbed. To make plum preserves proceed in much the pame way, except that it is not neces- pary to pare the plums, and care must be taken that the plums are not too rij { they arve dead ripe the preserves wili ¢ *“tough.” That iy, common red plums, Other varities must be paved, and being ripe is 0o objection. But the common red plums make the best preserves nd the nicest jelly in the world. lo make plum jelly, inferior plums may e Y good plan to sort the plums, taking the nicest for presorves and the inferior ones for jelly. Pour enough water over the plums to cover i them nicely and let them boil for s few | Joments, Rewove wud drain off the _THE_OMAHA DAILY BE | | water. Take one-third as much sugar | as you have juice and put over the fire, boiling for twenty minutes very hard. 1f you are not purticular as to the shade of | the jelly, it will be much richer and {n u will'stir the plums ‘“all to P and squeeze them in a flannel cloth and use this with the juice instead of simply draining off the ‘water.

It is good either with or with- | | out Navoring, and of course any season- ing may be used that is preferred. To | make grape jelly it is absolutely neces- sary to take the grapes before they be come too ripe. After grapes are thor: oughly ripe they will not mak jelly, ‘as the g “gets glass in it," ildren say Grape jelly is easy to make, and the same directions will answer as those given for the plum. Another thing which is better home made than any obtain at the markets One of the best rules vied for many years for making this winter luxury is to take twelve large fully ripened tomatoes, threa or four peppers, two onions (if de- sired), two tablespoons full of salt, two of sugar, one of cinnamon and three cups of vinegar. Chap all together and boil one and one-half hours. MME.

It isn't that, as is often said, women are mean, or deceitful, or overbearing, or more deficient in the business virtues than men. But, reason to the contrary, the idea of being employed by or held accountable to another woman fills me with horror.” “*And T supposo that's the way other women would feel about being employed by us,” put in her hearer comfortably. My confidante waxed bolder. “I think every woman feels s she anuounced, ‘“‘only, ‘like us, she is ashamed to acknowledgo it.

It’s about the fomale clergy.” “‘Well? Have you been converted by Dr. Buckley and St. Paul?” *Oh, no," in great earnest, “not so bad as that. I believe in women ministers, I admire and respect them. I sometimes think I would like to be one myself, but —I wouldn't go to hear one. Somchow I couldn't look up t- her or regard her as u ‘spirifual pastor and mastor,’ as could with a man.

The oviginal idea of visiting and | bemng visited was mutual social pleasure how far away and ridiculous it sounds these days of ‘crushes’ and ‘duty calls’ and ‘mustbe’ invitations! “As to neighbors, time was when the gracious custom prevailed of the old residents always calling on the new ar- rvivals.

Then,” she went on with well-simulated concern, "I might perhaps receive no encouragement to come here daily.” . oy The San Francisco Confederation of Women has been organized. In the language of its constitution the confederation is designed to “advise, ad- vocate and carry into effect measures for the public goad,to suggest, encourage and promote social and political re- forms, and generally to advise and act for the pumf.; welfare.” In the meeting room at 102 O'Farrell street there were nearly 100 ladies.

There wasa weird looking old creature selling her two sorts of wares to a piazza full of young women the other morning, who revealed some of the secrets of the profession. She had taken a 50 cent fee for the read- ing of one fair paim. Suddenly she in- terrupted herself to remark: ‘here, there! A wonderful fortune ve me 75 cents more and I'll vead you the most wonderful thing.” “No,” said the girl’ laughing, ‘“no more. Give moe my 50 cents' worth of wonder and that'll do.” Entreaties on the gypsy's part were in vain. - The strong-minded young woman would pay no more than 50 cents for any destiny whatever. So the prophetess read on. When she had finished she re- marked with a sigh: J *'And to think that for a little more T could have given you a light complected young man s woll as a dark, and a wed- ding in five months instead of & year?’ b ¥ “If you want to be a model housewifo follow my example,” says Lillian Lewis. “Man's strongest love is in his stomach, and the surest way to keep his love is to feed him well.
