THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 28 1909, Activities and Views of Progressive Women in Various Walks of Life Education of Mothers N DISCUSKING the “Older and Newer ldeals of Marriage” in the American Magazine, W. L Thomas »f Chicago claims that to handle the child wisely the mother should be as wise as society can make her. He says: “The mother should bo edueated both in life and In the schools, and the solici- tude and provision for her education should certalnly not be less than for that of the scientific speciallst. At the age of perhaps § the child's brain fs practically all in; he 18 short only In experlence and practice. He can understand any abstract principle and any plece of lterature, from the theory of evolution to the Hamlet of Shakespeare, but when he spends his time with an uneducated nurse or an unideaed mother he goes to school and even to col- lege with a mind #o barren that one of our great colleges has actually introduced a tutorlal system by which an Intelligent instructor practically lives with the boy and attempts the reparation of a misspent childhood “It is also true that there never was a time In the history of the family when it stood so much In nced of an Intelligent mother. Formerly life as a whole was largely comprehended within the family The Industries and arts, education and ro- lglon were oarrled on there. But these in- terests have now been abstracted from the home to such a degree that the family stuation is left rather empty. Business pursuits keeps the father away from home most of the time, and even set very narrow lMmits to his intelligence, and it 1s.there- fore peculiarly important that the mother whould be fit to represent the interests of Iife during that prolonged period before the child makes his connections with the outer world . “Morality Is with reference to the wel- fare of roclety, not the appetites of the individual, and a theory or practice which restricts the Interests of the mother and thereby stunts the life of the child s, in the profoundest sense of the word, im- moral.” —— Boosting Use of Gas, A mew way of earning money has been opened to women by the companies of the large cities. They are sent to private houses and apartments to explain the use of the gas range and of the meter with the object of teaching economy In the use of gas, According to one of these teachers it is & position requiring tact as well as the special knowledge they are paid to diffus t {s always possible to make a woman feel humiliate@ when you call to show her how to d6 what she thinks she knows how to do herself,”” one of the gas emissaries is quoted In Popular Mechanics, as saying about her work. “Possibly she has complained to the gas company that the stove will not work properly. “The reason may be she does not know how to use it, but it would not do to tell her so. So we proceed to find out the rea- son and do it 8o adroitly that she still be- lleves the fault was with the range and not with her, but at the same time has learned enough to make certaln that there will be no future complaint.” ‘Where the idea of this new department originated is not known. Chicago has just claimed the credit of it, but the gas com- panies of Philadelphla, New York and other cities also have such departments and advance counter claims. In Philadelphia the staff of women go from door to door or make speclal visits If called. Among the bits of information handed out by the teacher is the declaration that many women make the mistake of trying to 1ight the gas at the same time they turn it on. A second or two should be allowed (o elapse before applying the match, so that the gas can expel the alr, This makes the burners work better and saves gas. Another economical expedient to which many women pay little attention Is the simmering burner. When a saucepan no longer needs the entire heat of a burner it 18 only necessary to transfer it to the sime mering burner to leave the large burner free for something else and to save gas. gt Sty Result of Investigation. An Atchison, Kan., girl, relates the Globe of that city, had a proposal of marriage Sunday night, and asked a week to think it over. She went to all of her married ters. One, who used to be a belle, had three children, did all her own work, and hadn't been to the theater or out riding since she was married. Another, whose husband was a promising young man at the time she was married, was supporting him. A third didn't dare say her life was her own when her husband was around, and a fourth was divorced. After visiting them and hearing thelr woes, the heroine of this little tale, went home, got her pen, ink and paper and wrote an answer to the young man. You may think it was refusing him, but It wasn't. She said she could be ready in a month. e A Dream uttol The bachelor who looks forward to an Baster wedding should provide himself with a buttonhook. Not one of the masterful kind that selzes a button and yanks It into a far distant hole across rolls of pro- testing flesh while the vietim holds in her breath and, in the words of Miss Elizabeth A. C. White, president of the Natlonal Dressmakers' assoclation, “lifts her form," for, while woman in her most tantalizing mood will number on her frock 500 buttons for hubby to toy with, there will be nothing tight this season but the “underneath (agaln Miss White, who told the dress- makers' convention about it yesterday at Masonlo temple, 8ixth aveaue and Twenty- third street). If the strings in the “under- neath” slacken “the whole of you" slips every time you put your foot down and the flesh hardens. As Miss White explained, when the.e was any annoying excess in the front elevation of the feminine figure the stupld dress- f other days just “kept taking till she “made a little pocket to put it in" This is no longer necessary for when Miss White gets through with her demonstration (on living models) of how you should put on your eorset your gown will take the entirc responsibility on itself.

But from the neck of the hem of the skirt there are bat- tallons that require the hook. The ecclesi- astical in many of its phases keeps close to the original.

Miss White was strong in praise of the cassock for the suffragatte, belleving it to be just the costume “to run away with.” For the antis Miss White polnted to the gown of the middie ages as a symbol of belng behind the Hmas. ¢ e Traits of College Girls. The original argument against male mind” was that it could not cope with the college currieulum, Now they seem to think that the college curriculum cannot cope with the female mind, says Madge C. Jeniron in the Dellneator. We have It suggested in all seriousness, as the dean of women st Chicano notloep with demure acldity a recent report, that women should be required to take more work, to offset the extra drain, executive, Journalistic and athletlc, which comes upon men. But, after all, the work of the university girl Is not just what It scems, any more than Is her apparent capture of the uni- versity In numbers. It needs no account- ing for. It Is the heritage of her history. One sces In her scholarship the same dell- eacy which 18 to be met in the life of wo- men everywhere, which makes it so diffi- cult to organize them against any labor sbuse, which keeps them tied to miserable marriages—this natural tendency to do what is set before them, and to do it, if not necessarily with distinction, at least to go on doing it, and, for the most part, with devotion and thoroughnees, The very certainty of this Incliration s its limita- ton. A college girl reads what is in the course; she dces it all and she does it well. She may say to you, with an air of finality if you talk to her about Thackeray: “We do not have Thackeray untll next vear.! A profersor at Kansas sald that he found his girls studying books, his boys studylng subjects. There is another quality in women which 18 decelving, and which makes for good work, but not for the best. They have, it sccms, 8 certain esthetic sense, even intel- lectually, which prompts them always to turn out a thing which is neat and nice to look at. A professor of soclology told me that he was reminded anew of this quality With every set of theses which came up to him. He read the first five of women, cach time, with & new delight. They were 80 complete, %0 finished, so smooth and filed down. “But I can read fifty of men with less weariness than fifty of women," he sald. “It they are not so well done, they are fresh.

These widowed workingwomen, these married workingwomen, these divorced workingwomen, together, were a full third and more of the grand total of 4,800,000 American workingwomen, 18 years of 1ge and over. in the United States in the last census year, says Everybody's Magazine.

One of the most Interesting chapters 'n a book just published In London, “Roads to Riches,” by Thornton Hall, is that en- titled, “Women as Makers of Miilions," and a good many 6f the herolnes are Amerlcans. Probably no one knew until this admira- ble compilation was published that there were 80 many women who have made mil- llons as the result of thelr own efforts or discoveries. From the many stories which the book contains are reproduced the following: “A notable ploneer among women money makers 18 Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, daughter of Senator Fair. She had, it is true, a large fortune to begin with, but about four years ago she took the management of it into her own hands. “She sold out all her real estate holdings in San Francisco for $2,500,000 and went to New York to pit her brains as a money maker against the most astute and daring financiers In the world. “Instead of losing her fortune, as was confidently anticipated, she added to it o rapldly by successful speculation that within two years she was §20,000,000 richer than when she started her campalgn, and is increasing her millions so quickly that it 15 sald she will one day be the richest ‘woman in the world. “As a woman of business Mrs. Oelrichs has a formidable rival in Mrs. Ella Rawls Reader, & woman who at one time ad- dressed envelopes in a New York news- paper oftice. “Four years later Mrs. Reader was head of the largest reporting agency in the city, and was preparing to start on her brilliant careed as a financler, in which sie has fought singlehanded some of the cleverest and richest men In Wall street. ‘Here are a few of the achievements of th's wonderful woman, who is still little @dvanced in the thirtles, and who is de- scribed as pretty, with a fascinating smile, a gentle voice and manner and & charming personality, ‘She organized a $10,000,000 railway In op- position to J. Plerpont Morgan, wrested from powerful rivals a concession for & rallway through the dominions of the sul- tan of Johore, settled a South American revolution at her breakfast table, entered into competition with Wall street to con- trol the copper Interests of Peru, and fought President Rposevelt over the ques- tion of San Domingo finances. “Quite recently she made a most roman- tie marriage with an Englishman within & fortnight of meeting him. The story of Mrs. Nat Colline, the “cattie queen of Montana,” is romantic. “When but a school girl she was captured by Indians, kept prisoner for months and compelled to witness the tortures of her tellow captives. “After her release she spent a few years as cook for a freight train between Den- ver and the Missourl river; ‘hardly a day passing,’ as she says, ‘without an Indlan fight, for the savages were constantly swoopinig down upon the trains, killing the trelghters or driving away the stock.’ “Later ghe acted as scout to an expedi- tlon of gold seekers traveling to Montana. “For more than twenty years Mrs. Col- lins has been engaged in the cattle trade, suporintending her many large ranches and herself accompanying her trainloads of cat- tle~thirty-four carloads to each train, and all her own property—to Chicago. She does not know the humber of her cattle. ‘They are too many to count.’ " About twenty years ago Mre. Annle Kline Rikert was left a widow in San Francisco, almost penolless and with a young daugh- ter to support. “But she had a clever head and a brave heart, and although she knew no more of mining than of mathematics, she boldly set out with her 5-year-old girl into the Mojave desert to the nelghborhood of the Sliver King mine in search of fortune. “ 'For over two months I walked out from my tent every day across the desert to the mines with my little daughter to prospect— she with a little toy hammer. “‘One day at sunset, as I was about to start back to our tent, discouraged and al- most ready to give up, I heard my little daughter screaming, “Mamma! Mamma!” T went to her and she called out, “I have found some rook exactly like the specimen Mr. Pearson had at San Bernardino." “ ‘Mr. Pearson was a man who had come up from Mexico and had shown me speci- mens of silver ore. Sure enough, she was right. I knocked off some of the croppings and took about twenty-five pounds back to my tent /hen T reached it I found some men who had stopped on their way from San Bernardino at the mines. I showed lheml my rock. They exclaimed: “You needn't look any further; that rock will go from $4,00 to $,00 fo the ton.” They were right. " And this lucky find was the foun- dation of Mrs. Rikert's Immense fortune. Of the women who own millions which they have not made the number is great Probably the wealthlest of them all are Senora Cousino, a Chilean woman, whose fortune is sald to be $20,000000; Frau von Bohlen, the heiress of the Krupp millions, who s credited with $75,000,000 and an in- come of $200,000 a month, and Mme. Creel of Washington, who, with an income of $5,000,000 & year, Is content to wear dresses at $15 each. —— Weeps With Every Weeper. A pecullar fascination to attend funerals that seemed to have charmed her when a little girl and which she has been unable to resist In her long life of over 81 year: has given Mrs. Rebecca Wentzel of Potts- town, Pa., a reputation far and wide as a mourner for everybody's dead. “Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone,’ does not apply to be as her record of attending 4,007 funerals attests, In her carefully kept diary she has noted that of these funerals there were fourteen double ones of children, eleven where hus- band and wife were buried together and seven where three of ome family were in- terred at the same time. In one of the lat- Chiffon the Season’s Fad HE manufacturers of chiffon have reason to pour 4 libation to the gods of fashion this season, The demand for this material promises to be up- . precedented unless the makers of modes flatly deny their own children and refuse to live up to the laws they have laid down in their early season models. It is extravagant, of course, this fad of the chitfon frock, the chitfon coat, etc., for chiffon seldom goes unadorned, and this filmy material 18 beautiful in the smartest models by a wealth of handwork—embrold- ery, braiding, inset lace, etc. Moreover, chiffon must be used lavishly. No skimping in the soft, graceful folds. No sparing of material in the draperies. Bet over against these objections the beauty of the material, its ideal draping qualities and the fact that the heavier quality of chiffon, known as chiffon cloth, wears surprisingly well in spite of its sheerness and comes out fresh and lovely from frequent pressing. And then it is the mode. There is the only unanswerable argument in its favor, Some sheer, lovely marquisettes and kindred materials share honors with chif- fon in the designing of the new thin coats and sheer costumes, but on the whole we find the chiffon preferable. No other material gives ust the cloudy, velling 1- ftect which most exquisitely softens contrasting surfaces in the same color. Drecoll has put forth some orginal and lovely models in fou- lard, chifton velled, He uses a bordure dot- ted foulard. For ex- ample there is a cling- ing simple frock of soft old blue satin foulard with white water dots over its surface and & border of blg gradu- ated white dots The plain skirt s ltmp and long and un- trimmed save for THREE MTTALLIC bottom. Over this frock—or slip, for it is little more, and the coat is joined to it, not separate—is a loose graceful coat of smoky gray chiffon, a little short of walst, finished round the edges in gray silk, braided finely and lightly In gray and sil- ver and fastening with big braid orna- ments of the gray and silver—an odd com- bination which sounds bizarre, but is in fact very lovely and not conspicuous. More pften the chiffon coat is in the color of the frock with which it is to be worn and made separately from it Maurice Mayer, always keen about nets, Jaces, chiffons, etc, has several good models of this type. Ome which our artist has sketched is in one of the new blues which have the greenish tone us- soclated with the peacock hues, but are much softer and duller than the more vivid peacock blues. One might call them peacock blues dashed with gray. The frock of chiffon is almost entirely hidden by & coat of the chiffon falling in straight, soft Yolds from the shoulders and at the bottom running down in long points almost to the hem of the frock, but sloping up at front and back. The coat 1s bordered widely by selt-color embroldery and a deeop collar faling out over the shoul- ders 15 almost wholly of this embroidery. The softness of the material prevents the fullness from being in any way bungle- some and the em- broidery weights the chiffon down Into clinging lines, so that the effect Is that of a cloudy velling, COATS CHIFFON $ the border around the AND EMBROIDERY..

An impractical garment, so far as warmth or seryiee s concerned, but most graceful and becoming; and, after all, one does not want warmth in a handsome summer afternoon costume. Black chiffon coats of this charact which may be worn over different summer frocks, are attractive, though the coat and frock en suite are the smarter thing. Some of the black chiffon coats are, like the one of our sketch, trimmed hand- somely in fine jet, which supplies tMe needed welghting. The arrangement of the jet embroidery in the model {llus- trated here, was particularly effective and yet easily achieved. More severe models also are made up in chiffon. Such a coat as this Francis model, for example, stralght af linc and without full folds, but beautifully hand embroidered in dull, old hues. The chif- fon iteelf is of ash gray and the coat ac- companies a frock of soft gray satin, with a little of the same embroidery about the bodice, which is largely of chiffon. In all white some beautiful coat and frock chiffon models are made up, though apparently all white is not to play so im. portant a role this season as it has in some past summers. White silk marquisette was the material used in a Jeanne Halle model | whose skirt had much fuliness below a smooth deep yoke, and whose loose, long straight coat was lavishly grnamented with embroldery of satin cord and Irish erochet Another white sheer coat and frock elaborately embroidered in soutache. One of the exquisite new greens, delicate enough to suggest the very first baby leaves of spring, 1s particularly effective in chiffon cloth, and & summer frock of such green chiffon is In making in one of the workrooms just off Fifth avenue. The stralght long princesse frock is draped slightly across the front and sides and fine white shirred in the middle-back, the skirt width ' at the bottom measuring perhaps seven or elght yards. 5 Six yards is the moderate skirt width tm the new models, and when the clinging fronts and sides join the revolution already inaugurated by the skirt backs we shall have ten and twelve-yard skirts. That time has not yet come, but that it is coming within the year none of the Initiated seems | to doubt, and meanwhile no wise woman | 1s leaving a scant back In her spring frocks, | no matter how unwilling she may be to give up the clinging directoire lines.

In talking of one of the triple funerals Mrs. Wentzel recalled a cloudburst many years ago that resulted in the drowning of three members of one family at Mau- ger's Mill, near this town. Mrs. Joseph Wentgel, daughter of Jacob Mauger, pro- prietor of the mill had gone from her home here with her five children to help pull flax at the old homestead. A cloudburst about eventide had swollen the mill race, but Mrs. Wentzel's brother, Henry Mauger, felt confident he could drive her and the children across in safety, so they could reach home. But the waters enguifed the rig and three of the children were drowned. After a thrilling struggle the lives of the other two children, thelr mother and the driver were haved.

Quite & new arrangement of feathers on hats is for four thick and short ones to start from the centér of the crown to the brim, forming the only trimmings on the hat, The colored vell to match the hat will be quite as much worn as ever.

For motoring there are long chiffon veils with striped satin borders that comes in a varioty of light and medium shades and in & plain color. A decided novelty is the double motor veil. This is a big square that completely covers the hat, all the full- ness being gathered down in’the back at the nape of the neok and elther tied or pinned securely at that point.
