Against Mothers-ln-Law. The -new woman in China Instead pt following the example of her Eng lish and American sisters In railing •gainst the tyranny of men has re volted -against her relations-in-law. One of the women's clubs in Shanghai proclaims as its object "rebellon against mothers-in-law." —New York Bun. Miss Smedley's Work. Miss Constance Smedley was the founder of the Lyceum Club for women, opened in 1904. Its building Is one of the finest club houses In London, and was previously occupied by the Imperial Service and Picadllly Clubs, fiinse the inauguration Miss Bmedley has acted as honorary sec retary. and her resignation from that position on her recent marriage Is a great loss to the club. All her time wu devoted to Its interest, and its progress has been BO rapid that the membership now numbers 3000. Through her endeavors the Paris and Berlin branches of the club are well established.—Argonaut. Oood Tiwte la Dress. * The site and form and coloring of the Individual-insist be considered. White reflects light, making the sur face appear larger; dark absorbs light, making the surface appear smaller; smooth but not shiny material pro duces a smaller appearance. Stripes tend to lengthen the figure, plaids attract attention. The eye follows the plaid, measuring off any inequal ity. Only a well built person of av erage site wears plaids well. Stripes running around are tiring. The eye follows the stripe and either large ness or smallness is exaggerated. It Is poor taste for very large or small Potato Salad.—Two cups of Bllced cold boiled potatoes, one teaspoon of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoon of pepper, one tablespoon of vinegar, three, tablespoons of olive oil, one spoon of chopjped parsley, * few drops of onion Juice.

The henpecked, man Is under hla wife's finger because she governs him by rule of thumb. When you hear that the average girl has experienced a change of heart it means that she has become en gaged to another young man. The patient wife never regrets not keeping a servant girl so much as when there is chicken for dinner and she has to take the neck herself. The new woman is now seen every where, although the pld-fashloned clinging kind can still be found hang ing to the Btraps in the street cars. A woman Is more sentimental and sympathetic .than a man, but only a woman could be consoled for the dsath of her pet bird by the thought that the wings would make her a hat Just too lovely tor anythlng,—Wash ington Star. Women Inventors. We are told that, according to the records, five hundred patentß have been taken out by women in England in the last decade. But we need not fear that our English cousins will outdo us in this field of endeavor. There is scarcely a page of the official list of patents at Washington that does not record some woman's success in this line. And very often devices for machinery, and the like, Invented by women, are not patented In their own name, but are bought out-right by the manu facturer. Mrs. Mary Keys was the first wom en in our country to take out a patent. She invented a process of weaving straw with silk or thread, and the process was first put Into practice in 1809, one hundred years ago. It was only a few years later that the present-day corset was In vented, the patent being granted to a woman. The globe for teaching geography was patented by a woman. Many improvements and attach ments to machinery have been in vented by women. The Inventors are usually employes—operatives or Clerks, in the establishments where the machinery is used. A woman clerk in a New York department store recently invented a parcel delivery system, and secured the patent in her own name, and the system is now being used in the store where she was employed. A Khode Island woman has the credit for inventing both an electric alarm clock, and an improved lire escape device. _Many of the med ical appliances used in hospitals are the inventions of women nurses. A patent was recently granted a woman (or a letter-box, to be used on thft'jput ■lde of houses, that shows a signal when there is a letter inside for the to collect. This device is already on the market and largely used in some of our Eastern cities. Singular as it may seem, most of the small inventions for simplifying woman's wardrobe have come from the minds of men. Many more men than women have taken out patents at thin nature. On the other hand, women have been of marked assist ance to men in the various lines of mechanical invention.—V, C., in the Sadiaaa Farmer. lifti rrftfflTtfiiMfrri- I Maid of Honor Shares Limelight. The girl who is to be to the bridt what the best man Is to the groom ii i usually timorous about her duties. ■ Her position is in the centre of th« . limelight with the bride and she it I worried about her duties and fears i that she will not perform all of them. i She does not seem to be quite sure oi what she has to do. The fact Is that the beat man hat a great deal more to do than the best , girl. He has all kinds of business tc • attend to, as he looks after most oi ; the details of the groom. It is hli i part to see that everything goes oil [ smoothly. The maid of honor may-devote her i time to practicing her aolltary walk . down the aisle and seeing that bei , gown and hat are as perfect as purse i and figure allow. » "The bride is the manager on all i such occasions. Even if she nevei i took upon herself before the execu tive side of an affair she Insists upon running her own wedding. The groom Is usually willing to lei any one do everything for him. Not so the bride. * Because she Insists upon being consulted on every detail Is one rea son to account for her break down the day of the wedding. She Is al ways exhausted. She does not allow her maid of honor to do anything concerning the details of house, pro cession, church and clothes, so the duties of this best girl are reduced to a few trivial acts at the ceremony. She Is supposed to see that th« bride has ripped the third glove fin ger of the left hand for the ring. She holds the bridal bouquet during Its placlngs and slips the glove finger back into position. At the end of the ceremony she re- ; moves the face veil from the bride - before the latter turns to go down the steps of the altar. This veil Is usual ly a short piece fastened with pearl headed pins and Is easily removed. She also arranges the train of the ' bride when aha around to face 1 the guests. She stoops and straight ens it as the bride descends steps, ' gives her back the bouquet of flow ers and takes her own place with the beßt man to follow the bridal couple. At the house during the reception she stands next to the bride and re ? ceives each guest. If she is a stran ger the bride presents the guests to her. If she is a home girl and there " are any strangers among the brides maids she presents the gueßts to these strangers. At the bridal table she sits next the best man, but it is she who often 1 proposes a toast to the bride. ' In other days she usually rode to " the station with the bride and groom and saw them off. It is now not con sidered correct for anyone to go with the couple.—New Haven Register. ( The Dutch collar Is very popular. r Sweet peas will nod on hats.- « Paris saj'B colors are growing I crude.

There has come about a fashion, not new but a revival, of fastening a f tight, circular skirt under an orna e mented design that runs left to right across the figure from waist to hen. vjte-b-V i" . New York City.—Tne Empire wafer Is unquestionably the favorite one o( the hour, and here 1b one that is charmingly graceful and attractive yet quite simple. It can be made aa , Illustrated with high neck and long ■leevea or with a low neck and short ■leeves, and it can be made with the yoke and high collar, go becomingly adapted to daytime wear. In any ease It Is an exceedingly charming model that can be developed In al- most any fashionable material. In the illustration it is shown made of crepe meteore combined with heavy applique and simple embroidered net, the girdle and the narrow bands be ing of messaline. For the little gath ered frill, or tucker, as our English friends call It, and the' long sleeves any pretty thin material is approprl ate, net, lace, chiffon or anything ot the sort. For the girdle and the bands the same material or ono in contrast may be used as preferred. The waist is made over a fitted lin ing, and consists of the little gath ered frill, or tucker, the front and back portions and the bretellea. The wide girdle finishes the lower edge, ■while the skirt la designed to be ad justed over the lining and under the edge of the girdle. The long sleeves are Bhlrred and arranged over fitted linings, and these linings should be of transparent material to give the best results. The short sleeves are simple plain ones trimmed fa har mony with the waist. When the high neck is desired the lining la faced to form the yoke. Pleated Ribbon Purse. Pretty chains for muff or coin purse may be made of a pleated rib boa to match the suit Long Skirts In Style. Even the skirts of sporting suits are being made longer than for some few seasons past. Turked mouse. The dressy blouse that can bo closed at the front Is a genuine boon, and this one Is charming and attract ive, while it Includes that feature. In the Illustration It Is made from one of the new French crepes with embroidered dots, and the trimming Is embroidered banding, In which but tonholes are worked that allow of passing the ribbon scarf In and out. But It is adapted to every seasonable waisting, to the odd blouse and to the gown, and is exceedingly charming apart from the material chosen. The trimming illustrated Is effective, and among tue novelties of the season, but not obligatory, for the band on the front could be embroidered by hand or trimmed in any way that fancy may suggest. Crepey materials will, be extensively used this season, and have the merit of requiring no starch nor iron, but there are Jufct as many of the lawns, batistes and other fa miliar walstlngs seen as ever. The blouse Is made With the fronts and back. It is tucked on becoming lines, and is closed Invisibly at the centre front. The sleeves are pointed over the hands and are so shaped that they cling to the arms, taking their form perfectly, and are graceful in the extreme. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and five eighth yards twenty-fOur, two and three-quarter yards thirty-two or two yards forty-four Inches wide with i flve-eigntn yard of banding two and • ' quarter inches wide and one and three-quarter yards of lace insertion , and three yards of edging to make u - illustrated. ' I ~ 'f ' . Oyster Cocktails. There is a fancy abroad for serving the oyster cocktails in tomato or green pepper shells. For the dress ing use a tablespoonful each of horseradish, vinegar, tomato catsup and table sauce, a saltspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of tobasco sauce. This quantity is sufficient for twenty oysters. Chill shells and sauce on the ice.—New York Sun. Celery and Oysters. There is a delicious chaflng dish savory that combines celery and oys ters. Havje re&dy a big tablespoon ful of minced celery. Put It Into a blazer with a tablespoonful of but ! ter, a teaspoonful of lemon juice, salt and paprika. When the mixture bubbles turn in twenty-four oysters and cook them until they are plump. Then add a cupful of cream and when it is thoroughly heated serve on toast.—New York Sun. I *' The Toughest Chicken. Whether the chicken be old and tough or young and tender. It 1s greatly improved by this treatment: After It is killed let It stand some 1 fifteen minutes, to allow the animal warmth to cool, then submerge In a vessel of cold water; be sure that er ery part is under. Put a weight over It and leave some ten or twelve hours, then remove, scald, pick off the feath ers, and truss. The toughest chicken will be good and Juicy after thU treatment.—American Cultivator. Welsh Rarebit. " Put a 'pound of fresh American cheese out in small pieces In the blazer of the chaflng dish, and begin to press and stli 1 . When melted and nearly soft, adid two butter balls, paprika, salt and mustard to taste. Mix well, add one-half cupful of j cream and stir until smooth. Add two well beaten eggs, stir hard Just a moment, put on the cover of the dish and let the mixture rest with the flame turned on for two or three seconds longer without stirring, then serve on toast or crackers.—Wash« ington Star. Orange Marmalade. There are various rules for making marmalade, but here is one of the easiest. Allow for one dozen oranges, six lemons and eight pounds of sugar. With a very sharp knife slice thin the oranges and lemons, unpeeled, and put In a preserving kettle or stone Jar. Cover with three quarts of cold water and soak over night. The next morning cook in the same water for three, hours, keeping at a gentle simmer, then add the sugar, ; which should have been heated in the i oven, and cook for about one hottr longer. This may look too thin, but will thicken as it cools. Turn into glasses and cover, when cold, with paraffin.—Washington Star. Cinnamon Bans. Scald one cup milk: while hot add two tablespoonfuls sugar and two rounded tablespoonfuls butter. Cool to lukewarm, then add half a com pressed yeast cake dissolved in two tablespoonfuls warm water and three eggs well beaten without separating. Now add enough flour to make a dough (about two cupfuls). It should be saft.and elastic. Knead well, then put into a small pan, cover and stand where it will keep warm until it has doubled In bulk. !t will take about four hours. Turn Mghtly on the moulding board, roll into a sheet, spread the sheet with butter, then cover thickly with sugar, using nearly a cupful. Duat lightly with cinna- I mon, sprinkle with currants and roll up Into a long roll. Cut Into biscuits about an inch and a half long and stand up endwise in small round but , tered pans.

Senator Bailey, of Texas, Monday de livered a set speech on the Democratic side in opposition to the pending tar iff bill. The announcement that Mr. Bailey would address the Senate was suffi cient to bring to the chamber almost every Senator, and the galleries were crowded to their full capacity. Mrs. Taft occupied a seat in the Presi dent's sectidn and was an attractive listener throughout the session. Senator Bailey was not interrupted until he had proceeded with his re marks for an hour or more, when several Senators engaged in colloquies with him. Senator AFdrich called especial attention to a statement by the Texas Senator-to the effect that the duties of the pending bill might be lowered 33 1-3 per cent and asked whether he supposed the profits of American industries equalled that amount. Mr. Bailey replied that in the case of the United States Steel he believed they had, and he cited the increased capitalization of that organization as an evidence of en ormous profit. He insisted that such a lowering of the rate of duty would not seriously affect importations be cause he believed American manufac turers would be stimulated by the added foreign competition and would continue to supply the marketa. • • • On Tuesday, when Senator Scott, dfWcst Virginia, rose in"his place in the Senate to deliver a set speech up on the tariff, the hum of conversation by many Senators and their apparent indifference to listen to the speech caused the Vice President to rap loud ly for order in the chamber, and ga**e the Senator occasion to administer m mild rebuke to his colleagues. "I do not wish the Senate called to order," said he, addressing the chair. "1 do not expect this argument to change a vote and consequently 1 am indifferent whether Senators re tre to the lobbies or indulge in con versation, because I do. not 'care whether thev listen to my remarks or not." "The chair does care," replied Mr. Sherman. He criticised the Senate bill and does not believe it to be as good as the Dingley bill. He favors a protec tive tariff. • • • In the Senate Wednesday cotton seed oil was the subject of an ex change of opinion between protection ists Republicans aqd tariff-for-revenue Democrats. *" r Senator Simmons, of Kortb Caro lina, protested against such action, declaring that he was free to say that he was not in favor of placing cotton seed oil on the free list., Stating that the importation of «ottr«n seed oil in 1908 was 202 gal lons, worth ,$Bl, and yielded revenue of $8.28, Mr. Aldrich said the tax on that article was "for protection pure and simple." "Any pretense," declared Mr. Till man, rising in his place and speaking in vigorous language, "that there is protection on cotton seed oil through such a duty is a humbug. Cotton seed oil producers do not want any protection at all." •• • e Senator Cummins' bill for an in come tafc provides as follows: Upon incomes not exceeding $lO,- 000, 2 per cent; upon incomes not ex ceeding $20,000, 2 1-2 per cent; upon incomes not exceeding $40,000, 3 per cent; upon incomes not exceeding $60,000 3 1-2 per cent; upon incomes not exceeding SBO,OOO, 4 per cent; upon incomes not exceeding SIOO,OOO, 5 per cent; upon all incomes exceed ing SIOO,OOO, 6 per cent.
