4 ' 4 I 4 dther reporters, THE OMAHA SUNDAY BE 0 /EMBER 14, 1909, Activities of Women in Home and Business World Home Life and Office Work. ANY a manager of a home im- agines that her husband's of- fice lite downtown is a rouna of pleasura, and the more she DUV} klves rein to her imagination & the more firmly is she con- vinced that household cares are the worst ever. Mra. Mateel Howe, wife of the ed- itor of the Atchison Globe, thought it she could exchange home responsibilities for a job in her husband's shop, her im- prisoned soul would take on wings and lifoe would be worth while. She lald the broposition befors “the old man.” As she s & near-Missourlan, Editor Howe rea- #oned she had to be shown. What happened she herself tells in the Globe There used to be & time (about twenty- four years ago) when I thought men had the best of it in this world, and 1 often rescnted it. Now I have changed my mind and thank the fate that made me a woman. I no longer wonder that men are often lrritable, nervous and cross. The men in my family can now come home, raise the roof, smash the furnituré, knock me down and step on me, and I shall only smile sweetly, and never notice it. Any man who can work in a downtown office ten or twelve hours a day, and still keep his reason, has a right to do anything he pleases when he gets home—even to tearing down the house. If a woman wants a complete conception of what a man goes through every day of his life, Just let her spend a few days working downtown. It would be a £00d preparation for matrimony. Never again would she complain when her husband was cross. Last week I promised to work in my father's office for a few days. My idea was to sall down about § o’'clock, gossip a littlo with the force, dash off an article or two on the typewriter, have lunch and 80 home. Instead I was routed out in the middle of the night when it was sthl dark and when all women are still fast asleep. I was hurrled through breakfast and out in the cold to run for a car. It was still almost dark but the car was full of men; no women. 1 got to the office and was given a corner with some I sat down und started a conversation, but they all answered in monosyllables. In a few moments each one grabbed his or her hax and rushed out. They came back at various times, Tushed in, rushed to their machines and began to write at & rate that got on my nerves. When they finished their mad race with the typewriter, they rushea out again. 1 tried to write, but the combined noises of a half dozen typewriters almost drove me mad. I soon found myself trylng to write as fast as they. The clamor was maddening. I left my corner and wandered about. Nobody noticed me, and nobody recognized me, except with a brief nod. Always before they had stopped and talked, Then I was the propriotor's daughter; now I was one of the force. Thers was not & quite place to be found for a moment. There was not a room where I could go and be alone for a while, and away from the rush and the noise. The terrible hurry, hurry, hurry made me want to scream. How any one could work at the tension that they all seemed to take as a matter of courss, was more than I can under- stand. People kept coming in. There was not & suggestion of privacy for any one. Whenever I tried to write on my own type- writer, bang went two or three more right under my nose—and at the same terrifio rate. Outside teams and cars and people kept passing and passing, and making more nolse. And the telephones were al- ways ringing. 1 went out for lunch, and ate with about fifty men all eating at the same rate the typewriters soemed to affect. I began to feel that if I could not get away from nolse and confusion aud people, I should have a fit on the spot. In the afternoon & horrible earthquake sort or nome started from underneath. It was only the paper golng to press and nobody noticed it. But I grabbed my hat and ran. I could stand no more. I tore home I went to my ¥ room and locked the door end laughed out loud because i was alone. And then #nd there I deulded I was glad to be & woman, and & woman who @id not have to work In an office I thought of my quiet breakfast. I thought of my lelsure all day, and of the little work I did and how I did it slowly and as I pleased, and 1 thought, t0o, of my blessed privacy, and the quiet and pease of w home. I got up ‘when 1 pleased, ate when I pleased, and loafed when I pleased. When I wanted to my friends, I went to see them. It 40 me the most terrible thing in the world is to be surrounded by nolse and people all day long and never be able to get away from it. Even the women who otk at home, and work hard, do thelr Ork in quiet and peace and privecy. No man who has never spent an entire day in & down-town office can understand the strain under which her wnusband works. Bo when I wriMe & book on how to be bappy though married, I snall send the ‘woman down town to an office for at least & week's work. I think she will have & #00d deal more sympathy for her husband d & good deal more patiende when he nervous and ready to fly te pleces if & door creaks. I never did believe in work. I belleve in it less than ever now. ‘Women’s Right to Govern Herself, In the North American Review, Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, leader of the New York suffragettes, addresses these remarks to her followers; Slsters, i ask you to put behind you these fallacies of the past; discard vain dreams; rely upon yourseives; have val- fant alms, belleving that your rights are the same as those of man. Encourage at- tainable possibilities. Believe that moth- erhood should be no greater than father- hood, that the wife should not be the un- paid servant of the husband, but both must be equal. As In man's life the idea of the father does not predominate, mak- ing him subject to it, even &0 must the 1dea of motherhood be in woman's life. Center not your whole Jife in the life of others, for has not this made your past slavery?

The mind must feed on facts rather than on dreams, for you face an age of realism. Women of this century, bulld your castles no longer the azure skies of vanishing theorles, but on earth, with wills of steel. Draw from your intellect and the wisdom of your observation the great lesson that each must stand alone. By what right do you forever cling to man? Is his road not hard enough with- out this? His promise to bear y dens, made perhaps in all cannot keep. in ar bur- sincerity, he Differ About Club Ethics. A good many men after generations of training do not quickly understand club ethies, and In this matter feminine intui- tion is often at fault. The posted list has more terrors for women th for men, lates the New York Sun, but the women some times find Jt hard work to retire sracefully from a¥club for which they no longer have any use. ““You know, I think I'll resign from the Polyanthus,” says the wife, holding out a bit of printed paper to her husband. What's this?" ‘asks the man. “Oh, bill for annual dues?’ ‘‘Yer, and it's enough to buy that lovely little mantel clock I've been wanting so long.” Then the husband very gently, but wear- fly, as one traveling a long famillar road, explains that the lMttle paper in his hand, which hag lain six weeks on the woman's desk, 18 & demand for dues in the club year already begun. She cannot decently resign from a club with dues unpaid. But she forgot the peeky thing, she re- plies, and besides, the year began only ten days ago and she has not been in the club house once in that whole time. The man is Inexorable, and the woman, unconvinced, writes a check because he Intimates that It #he doesn’t he will, but he buys the man- tel clock “Didn't I see you tip the coatroom boy?" asks the husband after luncheon with his wife at her luxurious new eclub. “Why, of course; I always do.” ‘But I read in your bylaws only two hours ago that the tipping of servants is prohibited.” Yes, the woman remembers that, but she's sure she's seen others tip the ser- vants, and she suspects it's the only way to make sure of proper attention. The man sighs and tells her that if he caught a man doing the ltke at his club he'd at once report him to the house committee. Well, she doesn’t see why, and the hus- band explains the elementary principle that tipping is prohibited In order that members rich and poor shall bé on an re- the exact equality to service. Ho sees a little reddish spot on the woman's cheek and If he were a mindreader he would know that she is thinking of the many times she has tipped the maid in the ladies’ room of his ownu favdrite club and e that the slight of her head accompanies her private reflection that ever woman of her acquaintance has tipped the very same maid “Writing on club stationery at home? asks the husband, genuinely surprised and shocked as he stoops to kiss the woman at_the pretty rosewood desk The clear eyes turned up to him guileless as she explains that she espe- cially likes that particular paper and slips little sheaf of it into her handbag al- most every time she visits the club house. “Why, It was for just that thing that we dropped Swiggett from the Equines,” he says with wrath at the recollection. And then he must meet as best he may the argument that she Is permitted to write as many letters as she will at the club, and why not fetch a sheet or so of the pretty paper home? Doesn't he write what- ever he chooses at his club? No, he says, he writes ordinary soclal notes there and sometimes a business let- ter, but he would not think of sending out fifty invitations of any sort on club paper. He mercilessly figures up the matter and announces that she is using the full amount of her dues in club stationery.

You will have to teach your children the truth. It is a crime to de- celve them about the fundamental facts of life.

Gowns of white cloth and white serge, elaborately trimmed with lace and em- broldery, are much In favor for afternoon affairs, Fawn tones are well to the fore, but there are many new hues. Fawns with a brick-dust tinge, or with orange, drab, pink and gray, rival one another. Gray mauve—a sort of violet de parme— is a favored color for dresses and coots, trimmed with braids that look like gimps and gimps that look like braid Half length redingotes, which dolightful in the summer in materials, are belng adapted to thicker stuffs. Sometimes they match the dress, sometimes their hue accords with it There are veils like spiders’ webs, but a prettier idea is a lace veil with & bord of tiny butterfiles. Another has a patter: of heart-shaped spots, a third a quaint al over design, very fine and graceful, of Ji mine and follage, all in black Chantiiiy Molre ribbon is much in favor with the milliner and her clientele. It is shown in the latest shades and in all wjdths, and s protusely used for trimming turbans and hats of all descriptions. The watering may elther be regular and at symmetrioal in- tervals (the correct Louls XVI effect), or, as_in moire antique, 1t may be blurry and indistinet, with pronouncedly irregular out lines In a collection of autumn hats seen re- cently, a big brown felt model was trimmed with 4 great cluster of spiky, brown pine cones and the still more spiky pine needles Another was of white corduroy velveteen, entirely untrimmed save for an enormous cocarde shaped like a sunflower, with a black chenille center and ears or petals of white taffeta all round. The third hat was were 80 transparent a charming shape in aquamarine, smooth | silk beaver, hemmed with tarnished silver with a large boa of silver lace, the whole passed through a huge buckle of squares of green and blue jade set in old siiver An effective adaption of the old type embroldery, known as swiss, is seen one of the new models—a gown composed of cloth and velvet. The embroidery Is carried out in the antique wheel pattern buttonholed with silk, all in tons. An even- ing dress is also_treated In more or less the same style. In this case the button holing 18 in siiver upon nut-brown ninon over cardinal satin, with & beautiful sash of brocaded velvet, heavy red nut-brown ground,'and with & silver cord at the edge. Another dress is treated with a giant edition of feather stitching in floss silk or mousseline, the branching coral type of the atitch on a large scale, making a very pretty girl's frock. i b Chat About Women, Miss Frances Storrs, of Dimmitt, Tex., 18 going to build & railroad if she ‘cannoi find anyone else to do it.

A remarkable exhibition of a woman's nerve was witnessed in Kenstngton when Mrs, Harry Corbett, wife of a well known steeplefack, was drawn to the top of the 187-foot spire, of the First Presbyterian church, where, suspended only by a rope, she passed the tools to her husband, who was putting a new gold ball on the top of the spire. Miss Sarah Louise Arnold has chosen_chairman of the recently organized New England Branch of the American Home Economic assoclation. Miss Arnold has been dean of Simmons college, Boston, since 1902. She s a graduate of the State Normal school, Bridgewater, Mass., was supervisor of schools in Minneapoiis for seven years and later held the same office in Boston for the same length of time. Flower hospital nurses have moved into their new New York home, which has been finished at a cost of $50,00. Work on the new quarters, which wes started last win- ter, has been completed, and the home Ig one of the best equipped in_ the city. The quarters which will be vacated by the nurses will be converted into wards The hospital's wards have been crowded all summer in spite of the constant addi- tion of rooms, and the opening of the home will do much'to relleve conditions. Season’s Fads Mar CCORDING to all tradition, one ought to have been talking about horse show fashions for ed the last few weeks, but as a B] matter of fact there are mo longer such things as horse show fashions. For one reason or another, Dbossibly because the women who actually dressed well objected to being regarded &5 & rare show for the benefit of the mob, possibly because exaggeration and caricature in costume developed to pro- portions quite eclipsing the genuine mod- ishness displayed by the few, the smartest New York folk have ceased to interest themselves in horse show tollettes, and while one sees many pretty frocks and hats and furs at an afternoon or evening messlon of the show one sees quite as many at any other place where well dressed women congregate and the most fastidlous women save their really phe- nomenal frocks for occasions more exclu- sive than the horse show. But while the designers and makers have not been rushing horse show cos- tumes, they have been in & grand rush Just the same, for by the middle or last of November the season is falrly on and the winter wardrobe, or at least a goodly Part of it, is needed. KEverywhere now one sees lovely frocks, hats, coats, furs, and it i to be hoped that financially conditions throughout the country are vastly fmproved, for everything indicates that this 1s to be a season of unusual feminine extravagance. Materials are ex- Dpensive and rich and more of the material is used in a frock than was needed for last season's gown. Trimmings are more than ever elaborate and dainty accessories make sad havoo of dress allowan In the matter of materials one finds curlously conflicting tendencies; on one hand an increasing richness and body of texture, on the other hand & mad craze for the flimsiest and sheerest of stuffs. Velvets, velours, brocades, moires, fallles are well to the fore on fashion's list, and while all of these fabrics are much lighter and suppler than the old time favorites, of the same names, they have more body than any of the modish stuffs of recent years. But along with these revivals comes the drepery fad, and since we cannot bring ourselves to essay draperies in the heavier materfals, we call the chiffons and silk movsselines to our ald. Never within our memory were such quantities of chifton used for a season's frocks ard furbelows. The material is assoclated with any and every material—velvet, fur and even the rough shaggy cloths—and of course in- numerable frocks are built up chiefly of chitfon. Naturdlly this passion not add to the practical quality of the winter frock. Intricate chiffon draperies are undenlably lovely if well handied, but they will not stand hard wear for any length of time without looking rumpled and stringy and losing their gracsful lines. A fashionable dressmaker speaking In a burst of confidence sald to & customer the other day: “Well, of course, what you really’ want is a cachmire de sole of crepe with the draped tunic of embroldered chiffon in the same color, but don't get it. It would be tremendously smart, and if you only had to wear it occaslonally and had a maid to keep it freshened up It would be all very well, but the way the ordinary woman has to wear her clothes such a frock would be shabby and forlorn in no time. “Get one of the lovely erepey stuffs, # @ yard for it, 5o that you will get body and quality along with the softness. Many & woman balks at the extra doilar or two on her material and paying the price for the making of a frock that will not give stout service. Make the thitig up on conservative lin:s with just & ripple of some sort of clinging tunie in the skirt design and with a sim- ple draped bodice. Put a little self-con:rol hand embroldery of bralding on the bodice and use cream of gold about the guimpe and the little undersiceves. You'll have & frock that will do duty for all sorts of occasions If it is in & medlum or dark shade and that won't be out of kilter every time you wear it. “Make It black if you want to get ne for chiffon does end of service out of it. That lsa't the kind of frock I like to make for my rich customers though. It lasts too long and serves for oo many occasions. They can afford to wear draped chifon and hand embroideries, and I see to it that they do wear them.” There spoke the volce of wisdom, but of course, many a woman cannot afford the % & yard materials which are so lovely in crepes, in chiffon faille, etc, and there are many good silks of this same general character at $380 & yard, which is not 80 very expensive if one takes Into con- sideration the fact that the material is full double width instead of the single Wwidth with which we were famillar in the old days. But to go back to the subjeot of chiffon. Many @ handsome frock buflt up in one of the more substantial materials, such @s crepe meteore, supple satin or ocach mire de sole, has its chiffon accompani- ment not in the form of tunic or completo over-frook, but merely as scarf drapery more or less intricately assérted with the frock. This s the sort of thing which demands a maker with the soul and hand of an artist and & wearer of the same quality; but the French designers are get- ting charming effects along this line. A comparatively simply version of the idea is lllustrated in & model of which & sketch is printed—a clinging, draped frock of suppie blue and gold brocade with a blue chiffon drapery falling from the right shoulder and bordered with gold fringe. Another handsome French model in rose and gray brocade has a mors complicated drapery of gray chiffon starting from the shoulder, swathed around the body and caught up in graceful fashion at about knee helght on the left side. The brocades are asserting themselves more emphatically as the season advances, though 80 far they appear ehiefly in very exclusive models—a fortunate thing, since they require the touch of a master maker to bring them into conformity with present day ideas of grace and smartness. The rich brocades in white, black ar color with g0ld or sllver are being effectively used and are by no means 8o barbaric as they sound. The manufacturers have mchieved won- ed by Unusual Extravagance ders in softening thess metallic brocades 80 that they drape with the lightness and suppleness demanded of the modern ma- terials and yet re thelr beauty of tex- ture and design and color. Almost every one of the great makers has turned out & model or two of this type and all that we have seen are falrly successful. One beau- titul gown of gold and white brocade was omewhat on the lines of the white satin and chiffon model of the small cut, though the drapery did nct slope away so sharply in front and was not fringed. Instead it was drawn upward and caught along the left front down to the knee, where it was held by a cluster of large gold geuze roses. Below the drapery opened over a petticoat of gold met over white chiffon. Little frills of gold net and lace finished the line down the left #ide and edged the bodice drapery which crossed from right to left and the little under bodice and short sleeves were of &old net over white chiffon. A second gown in gold and white brocade is pictured here and was made on the em- pire lines, which cannot be altogether dis- carded, though one seldom sees them this season save in oconnection with evening dress or tea gown. The soft brocade fell clingingly and plainly in front, but the skirt was draped very slightly toward the back. The simple bodice was of handsome, fine white lace trimmed In heavy gold em- broldery. Siiver and rose brocade made up with silver net and narrow chinchilla bands composed the scheme of an exquisite frock Just finished for one of New York's smart- est young matrons and in the same work Toom we saw a superb dinner gown of old £0ld and black brocade under & tunic of black chiffon, beautifully embroidered in Jot and black silk. An evening gown had & tuniec of tur- NEW FUR COATS, quoise blue and gold brocade draped around the body and ending &t the knees in front, while falling low in the back. The upper part of the decollete bodice was almost entirely of gold net embroldered in turquoise silk and the full underskirt below the tunic was also of gold net em- broldered in turquoise blue. Side by side with such gorgeousness of gold and silver brocades are delectable frocks of chiffon, silk moussellne, silk volle, etc., as demure as they are charm- ing and often relying almost altogether upon their charm of color and line for thelr effects. A white chiffon frock made over rose petal pink chiffon had for trimming em- broldered bands of fine net all in white and was a graceful and unpretentious lit- tle affair. The skirt, slightly fulled around the waist, was caught up at each side of the front at the knees and held by palest pink rose clusters, the tiny plaits giving what the French call movement to the skirt lines. Below this drapery, edged by embroldered net, a plain, full chiffon petti- coat peeped out. The bodice was merely a draped surplice arrangement with bordering bands of em- broidered net and tiny sleeves and tucker of finest white net. A sash of rose petal liberty was folded twice around the waist and tled In the back with short loops and short sharply pointed ends and one big artificlal rose of jacqueminot coloring was tucked into the wide sash girdla in front. Some of the ruffled dancing frocks of sheer stuffs are very attractive and are recelving enthusiastic attention from the debutantes. These frocks clear the floox in comfortable fashion and are exceed- ingly youthful in aspect, though they are by no means reserved for the debutante, Quaint Features of Life Reality in a Dream. HILE under the influence of an oplate at the Presbyterian hos pital in Pittsburg, Mra Martin O'Rourke dreamed that her hus- band was dead and that his spirit entered her room, beckon- ing to her. She awoke screaming, and it was some time before she could be quieted. While Mrs. O'Rourke dreamed that her husband was dead she did not know that he Teally was in his coffin and that sorrowing friends were in the house at the time she awoke from her horrible vision. Martin O'Rourke was one of the victims of the Chislett street car wreck. He dled shortly after being taken from ths car, which had turned turtle. At the time he was on his way to his home with medicine, His wife was then at the O'Rourke resi- dence, and her condition was such that it was deemed advisable to keep her in ignor- ance of his death. She was removed to the hospital, along with her 3-weeks-old In- fant. A charming Loulsville girl, the daughter of a minister in Loulsville, has always been famed for her habit of saving things because they may come in bandy, and this summer the family is telling & story on her which she would give & good deal to sup- press. She had been away at White Sul- phur Bprings, and being especially popular, had become the reciplent of such & variety of souvenirs that before coming home she sent one trunk shead in which she put many of the various trinkets for her smaller brothers and sisters, and some summer frocks which had become t0o faded for wear. Her mother industriously un- packed the trunk and finally when reach- ing the bottom, was transfixed to find sev- eral hundred poker chips and about a half dozen decks of cards. When her horritied father later demanded an explanation, the | daughter quite innocently and unconsciously sald: “Why, father, they were left in the room I was occupying by some former occupants, and I just took them becauss I thought they might come In handy.” And even the minister smiled at her ex- planation. ¥~ Big Potato Saves His Life. Raymond Corwin, & farmer of Aquebogue, Long Island, was taking home from his farm & big potato that he intended to enter the county falr, when he was at- tacked by & dog supposed to have bLeen mad, The dog made a rush for Corwin, who threw the glant tuber at the beast with such force that it fractured his skull, kill- ing it instantly. Corwin doesn't regret the killing of the dog, but mourns the loss of his blg potato, which he thinks would have taken first prize at the falr, Big Dog Saves Smaller One. Dog sense, and plenty of it, enabled a large, black Newfoundls3d to rescue from smaller dog and hurled it so high the auto passed under it when it was in the air. The animal fell in the roadway and lay there helpless. “Poor pet,” sald one of the women, turn- ing and looking back Half & block behind the first auto was enother tearing along at & dust-raising pace. Sam, the big, black dog, which had managed to get out of the way of the first car, in the mick of time, was whining over its injured playmate, when it saw the second machine coming. Selzing the help- less little dog by the neck, Sam flung it to mafety to one side of the road, and then tried to get out of the way itself. It almost sacrificed its own life in saving the othar dog for the auto gave it a glancing blow which rolled it over and over. Sam was not hurt, though, and In & moment was running off ‘to Cestone’s home barking for help. A member of the family followed Sam to where the other dog lay and ca: ried it Into the house. Proud Father at 87, From the fact that his friends did not learn until recently that he had again be- come a father, it may be inferred that J. H. Thiry, 8 years old, of Academy street, Long Islawd City, is not of & boastful dis. position. Fut Mr. Thiry is proud and happy over the advent of his youngest child, Mr. Thiry became widely known years ago when he originated the school savin, bank system. Eleven years ago, when 76 years old, he married Miss Margaret O'Connor, & comely young woman. About & year after the marriage & young Thiry was born and there was jubilation in th home.
