HOWTO EARN MONEY
MEANS EMPLOYED BY WOMEN
TO MAKE A LIVING
No Woman Should Be Left With
Nothing to Do in These Times —Not
Necessary to Have a Trade or to Be
Accomplished.
.. Surely no woman who desires work
these days shoulff-flnd it difficult to at
tain her object, for there are innumer
able ways of turning an henesty pen
ny besides the regular work in Which
women engage. Shopping on commis
sion is ;i very pood way to make mon
ey, more particularly if you can work
up a good number of out-of-town
buyers. One St. Paul girl is doing
very well at it at present, and even
does a good deal of buying for women
in town who are too busy to attend to
It. At this time of year there is so
much shopping to be done for the girls
who are going away to "~\oOl that a
woman in the bus'r. ,« can make a
g-ood bit
Then there Is catering: not much is
dnnp in this way in St. Paul by wom
en, but in the East many women who
have been society girls and are obliged
to earn something are taking this up.
The ho«lpss who wants everything
just right and has the money to pay
for it sends for the pirl who gets up
parties and dinners and puts the af
fair entirely in her hands. She hires
a caterer if she cannot do the cooking
her«olf—some of these women have
cjnoks and waiters of their own—ar
ranges the house and tables, buys
what is needed, and the hostess need
not have a qualm about the whole
matter. It is easy for the hostess—
also expensive—but if she has plenty
of money and wants to entertain with
out tiring herself to death there is no
better way.
One clever woman went to Newport
this summer .and sent samples of a
Very delicious randy that she made to
the hip houses of the millionaires and
It berame so popular that she made
money and had a pleasant summer
besides. Another young woman at the
same place wrote to a woman who was
giving a large ball, and asked if she
might come and write up the affair,
promising absolute correctness of
names and costumes. The hotess al
lowed her to do it and paid her, then
she sold the story to a paper and
made something on both sides. Still
another girl gathered wild flowers and
decorated luncheon tables for the elect
of Newport. Indeed, wherever million
aires foregather there Is many a penny
to be earned by the enterprising. An
other woman advertises to pack
trunks, and In New York makes a good
living- doing it. and pretty nearly al
ways breaks her back at the same
time.
Then there is the girl who thinks up
new forms of amusements, figures for
the german, etc.. Is ever In demand
and is well paid, particularly by the
blase Newporters, who would give
their kingdom for a new sensation or
amusement. In fact. It must be a very
stupid girl in these modern days who
cannot turn her talents—or lack of
them— to account and earn enough to
live decently.
The woman who has no trade and
yet wants to work should take account
of her stock of accomplishments, no
matter how homely they may be, and
turn her attention to what she does
best, even if it be only darning and
mending. Washing and mending of
linen and women's underwear is done
by some New York women and they
have no reason to complain of their
patronage. Reading aloud to invalids
taking charge of the annual house
cleaning, or of the closed house when
the family are at {he seashore are a
few more ways that women can make
themselves useful. All these are bet
ter than hat trimming or dressmaking
and other things which compete some
what unfairly with those who are le
igtimately in trade. These are the
days of the woman worker, and let her
make the best of them.

WOMEN'S CLUBS AND SOCIETIES.
The plans of the federation are tak
ing shape, although as stated last
week, the complete programme will not
be given out until the last of the
month. It will interest club women to
know that the dates of the convention
have been changed to the 13th, 14th and
15th of October instead of the 15th,
16th and 17th, as announced in this
column a week ago. This will be agree
able news to the women of Winona,
who are preparing for the state meet
ing of the D. A. R. and who desired to
make Saturday, the 17th of October

the date of that event. However, this
is subject to change, and the time will
be definitely fixed in a few days and
announced later.
Among the items of business to come
up at Mankato will probably be a
change again in the system of paying
dues to the federation from clubs. After
several years of paying' a stated sum
it will be remembered that at Albert
Lea last year it was voted to change
the regular dues to a per capita tax of
10 cents, which would bring- in a bet
ter revenue. Lack of means and a gen
eral cramping in every department of
work had resulted from the old sys
tem, and the officers felt that the fair
est means of remedying it was the per
capita tax, as it worked no hardship
on the smaller clubs. But dissatisfac
tion has been shown by some of the
clubs, and in all probability the whole
matter will be gone over at Mankato.
One thing is certain, the federation
needs more money in the future to do
its work properly than it has had in
the past, and how to obtain it in a way
pleasing to all the clubs is the problem
the club women must face. Delegates
who expect to go to Manakato would
do well to talk this matter over with
their fellow club members before go
ing.
The St. Paul School of Fine Arts
has sent out rts yearly prospectus, and
announces that its winter's work will
begin Oct. 1, at Its old quarters in the
Moore block at Seven corners. The
school this year is under the general
direction of Miss Bonta, who is well
known as an able art critic, and asso
ciated with her is an able corps of In
structors. The officers who are in
charge of the school are Mrs. D. A.
Monfort, president; Mrs. George R.
Metcalf, first vice president: Mrs. Her
bert Davis, second vice president; Miss
Clara Sommers, secretary, and Misa
Carpenter, treasurer. The school is in
a flourishing condition and has a long
list of associate and active members
who take a deep interest in in its wel
fare.
Highly attractive to both eye and
mind is the September number of The
Club Woman, which was published
recently. There are 118 pages of ex
cellent reading matter between its ar
tistic covers of blue, decorated in con
ventionalized iris in purple and green.
Greetings from all the most prominent
clubwomen of the country, stories,
poems, notes on books, the stage, the
fashions, kitchen recipes, social news—
here is a varied and delightful number.
If Mrs. Dore Lyon and her colleagues
can maintain the standard which they
have reached in this, their initial num
ber, they will soon make themselves
iadispensable to clubwomen.
"Megaphonics" is the title of a fore
word by the editor, in which the "im
portance of the trade school for girls
which the New York state federation
has so close at heart is emphasized.
There are pages of greetings from the
national and state presidents of the

Outside of the exclusive club inter
est, however, there is much to appeal
to the general woman reader. Mrs.
Russell Sage discusses the question,
"Are we becoming like France—a na
tion without homes?" and answers it
In the affirmative. Mrs. Margaret
Ravenhill presents a pleasant picture
of life at the- new hotel for wom

Sydney Rosenfeld talks on a subject
dear to her, "The National Theater;"
Alice Fisher Harcourt tells how she
felt on the first night of "Mrs. Jack;"
Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland writes on
"The Clubwoman and the Drama."

ground that trees and other property
would be destroyed and the public way

agreed to be responsible tot any dam

also to carry on the work with as
much expedition as possible. Favor
able comment has been made upon the
peaceable methods employed by the
clubwomen in gaining the consent of
the council to their request, instead
of raising a political issue or plunging
into litigation, the company waited
quietly until the next meeting of the
city council, and then sent delegates
to plead their cause. The representa

is expected that the sale of the ojd
building will make quite a considerable
addition to the building fund.
"viannheirners' Hat Opening
Marie went down to Mannheimers'
yesterday afternoon and had the time
of her life looking at hats. That is,
she had a good time after she got her
breath, for at one time the crowd of
women was so great that it was almost
impossible to turn round. On every
side one could hear: "Isn't that a love
of a hat?" or "What a dream of a
bonnet!" And so it was. Mannheimers*
millinery department yesterday was a
carnival of color and a fairy "evel of
beauty. Hats of green, of gray, of
blue, of pink, of every color under the
sun, and every shade of every color;
in fact it is the color schemes of these
hats which make them so beautiful and
so novel. Surely the colors were never
so lovely as those to be worn this win
ter. As to shapes, my lady mu3t wear
a flat-iron turban with her street suit
and big picture hats for dress.
Some of the fiat-iron turbans are
dreams, not only of color, but the lines
are graceful and follow so well the
lines of the head. Millinery is no
longer a business, but an art; at all
events it's an art at Mannheimers'.
Some of the lovely colors are red,
shading from very dark wine, to the
most stunning scarlet; prune to plum,
lavender to violet, brown of the most
rare chocolate, out to an exquisite
champagne color, silver gray of a
shade dear to the heart of every wom
an, to the deepest gun metal. Indeed
these last shades of grays are some
thing new in millinery and are more
fetching than can be Imagined from
the description.
If you buy a hat nowadays you must
have it fitted to your head, just like
your gowns; it can be bent and twist
d until it exactly conforms to your
style.
Whereas the hats that have been
•worn have been wide in the front brim,
there is a difference this year and some
of the swellest shown yesterday at
Mannheimers' have what is called the
torpedo crown, and are narrow through
the front and back, and very wide on
the sides. One of the most charming
of these shown yesterday was a
Susanne Blum model of chocolate
brown paon velvet, with the long tor
pedo crown; the whole covered with
the velvet accordion-plaited, and in
the front a bunch of white camelias.
This was one of the most notable hata
in the collection. Wool lace is one of
the novelties and was well exemplified
yesterday in an exquisite pale blue pic
ture hat of tulle, the whole front of
the brim faced with this dainty lace In
blue and white. Another stunning hat
was of white silk beaver with a crown
of wool lace, and wound about with
snake ostrich plumes in white.
A scarlet turban with a blackbird
on the side caught the eye of a
brunette who stood near; it looked aa
if It was made for he^; while a pretty
blonde tried on a pink picture hat
which made her appear as much like
an angel as it is givep mortals to look.
Green velvet and violet tulle is an
other stunning combination; green the
shade of the stems of. violets, and great
bunches of violets so natural they de
ceive the eye made up a hat of great
beauty.
An Esther Meyer model is of shaggy
white beaver with the Dolly Varden
border of pink roses and big, dropping
white plumes shading the face of the
fortunate girl who gets It.
Nothing is better In effect than the
picture hats of black velvety and here
at Mannheimer's they have made a
specialty of them. The display cer
tainly reflects the greatest credit upon
the arftstic woman or women who
made the selection and brought the
models. It is no light accomplishment
to know how to combine shades of
color in such a way that a beautiful
picture is the result. But they know
how to do it in the Mannheimer mil
linery department, and the opening of
1903 is an event to be long remem
bered.
ABOUT PEOPLE ANDTHINGS
Among the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Whltelaw Reid at their Adirondack
camp in Upper St. Regis Lake are Gov.
Gen. and Lady Minto. Both are en
thusiastic lovera of the plcturesqque in
nature, and the frequent trips in Mr.
Reld'a new electric launch along the
banks of the beautiful lake are ex
actly suited to their fancy. For several
years the Reids have enjoyed the inti
mate friendship of Lord and Lady
Minto. The wife of the governor gen
eral has accepted many invitations to
the house parties in Ophir Farm,
White Plains, and, accompanied by her
eldest daughter, La<lj» Eileen Elliot,
she recently made thtsia stopping point
in her journey from '>Newport to the
government house ifa' Ottawa.
The ever popular Nathalie Schenck
has set a style for 4 ftforning costume
which has already been taken up by
her admiring friends /t\ Newport and
threatens to spread to all the summer
resorts of fashion along the Atlantic
coast. She appeared'recently wearing
a picture hat and taWprmade gown of
white pongee. The short skirt and
long coat, which bloused slightly at
the waist, caught the J'curioua eyes of
all the yoimger generation of the
smart set, who at oiiee began to put
Miss Sehenck's idea -into execution by
ordering similar suits of their man
tailors. The jaunty**fet of a black
leather belt, which 'fte'ld in place the
modish coat, was termed "too sweet for
anything." The severe plainness of the
costume was particularly attractive to
her host of imitators, who watch her
every morning as she takes her stroll
along Bellevue avenue; but it is not
likely that many will be able to catch
the exact "swing"' which character
izes this fetching street suit, which,
like its possessor, is charmingly novel
and original.
"This is the first season in years,"
said one of the young men in the
Casino the other day,' "when we have
not had the' stately Mrs. Edmund L.
Baylies in Newport, and I tell you she
is missed. Not that she entertained a
lot, for she didn't. But Mrs. Baylies
made her presence felt. She was a fa
vorite whereever she went." But Mrs.
Baylies, who many say is the best
dressed woman in society, Is having
too good a time abroad. She is as
much in favor in j Europe as in
America. Just now she is on the hunt
ing preserve of Mr and Mrs. Brad
ley Martin in Scotland. It ma? be be
lieved she Is the only American there,
for the Martins no longer bother with
persons from their native land. For the

one the season's belles are falling vic
tims to the scourge, and one by one
they are retiring to an enforced exile,
while the world-famed resort suffers.
There seems to be no relief other than
seclusion. "Rest!" say the doctors;
rest is the thing." "Go from your sum
mer's resting place to some secluded
spot where you may have quiet,' they
might add, despite the paradox.
Against this epidemic society is pow
erless, and the season, which should be
at its height, is apparently on the
wafie. The strenuous life cannot be
led when there is no one to lead it—
and this is the extremity .which con
fronts the nation's gayest of resorts.
And Newport is not alone a victim to
the pace that kills. From all the vari
ous resorts of the smart set during
the period of recreation, so-called,
comes a similar story.
With all her wealth and lineage the
young Duchess of Westminster i 3 not
a popular woman. She is arrogant and
assertive, and even her sister peer
esses are inclined to be xexed with her.
Her grace was Miss Shelagh West,
and five years ago she was one of the
most prominent young women in Lon
don society. She was blessed with a
beauty that the English admire. Her
sharp nose and clear-blue eye appeal
ed to the Britishers, and when she and
the young and rich duke were wedded
her friends told her It was a master
stroke. The duchess refused to bow
the head before the other noblewomen
of England. She was aghast because
the royal family did not call her "She
lagh. my dear," and show other symp
toms of intimacy. She was not willing
to meet people half way and her
grandeur Impressed no one more than
herself. She saitf she loathed and de
spised Americans. She called almost
everyone "vulgar," and her bitter
tongue achieved a certain undesirable
fame. It is said the young duke Is
under his wife's thumb, and even ad
mire.s her superior airs and manner of
condescension. At any rate, the
Duchess of Wesminster is not dear to
the British public, although one of the
richest, youngest and handsomest
women at court.
At a dinner on the yacht Niagara
recently Mrs. Howard Goujct, the
hostess, wore a gown that her guests
will remember long. True, it smacked
of the stage, but the effect was inge
nious and appropriate f<y a dinner
gown on the water. It was a sea
grass effect, and both the pale and
dark green tints were used. Especial
ly pretty were the strips of filmy j
green chiffon that hung over the
shoulders. The skirt was plaited and
had an overdress of these pale strips.
Mrs. Gould wore her straw-colored
hair low on her neik. Although her
gems are worth a fortune, she did not
wear a single jewel on that night.
Even the large pearl earrings she has
worn constantly for three years were
absent.
While Mrs. Gould rejoices in purple I
and fine linen her husband dresses as
if he were a struggling clerk rather
than a millionaire. His clothing might
by. compared to that of Russell Sage,
and it is said he rejoices in this form
of independence. In the Oriental hotel
one night last week he attracted mor-»
attention than if he had been garbed
conventionally. He wore gray flannels
that evdently had been wet, and the
coat hung in folds from his shoulders.
?$p was alone, and sat on the veranda
under an arc light. Senator Platt said,
"Give that boy a beard, and he would
be the living image of Jay Gould."
Mrs. Travers was LilHe Harrlman.
She is a sister of the present Mrs. W.
K. Vanderhllt and Mrs. Stephen Olin.
She and Mrs. Waterbury are boon
companions and go everywhere togeth
er So Inseparable are the two women
that Mrs. Waterbury scarce has time
to regret the absence of her husband,
who has gone to Saratoga to specu
late on the races. Just before Harry
Payne Whitney left Newport he Joined
forces and capital with Mr. Waterbury
in plunging heavily three ways on a
horse that was placed in one of the
f rst races. Between them they cleaned
up quite a nice little pile of money.
The younger men of the smart set are
watching Mr. Waterbury very closely
these days, and are most importunate
in asking him for tips. They feel cer
tain that they cannot lose if they fol
low his lead.
FOR MEN AND WOMEN.
The hair needs ventilating as much
as any other part of the body. Wom
en who are punctilious about hanging
their bodice over a chair to air at
night, and who would feel positively
slovenly did they go to bed leaving
their clothes in a heap on the floor,
go week after week with their hair
matted close down on their scalps.
Under thesi* circumstances the scalp
and hair can scarcely be clean or
sweet. Frequent combing with a
coarse comb, followed by a gentle but
thorough shaking will open up the hair
at the roots and free it from the dust
and dirt that havo gathered there. Ex
posure to the sun and air are impor
tant.if one would keep her hair healthy.
One may substitute the fingers for a
comb, with good results, lifting the
hair from the scalp and manipulating
the latter with a series of gentle little
pinches. Treated thus with regular
ity, the hair will retain its youthful
color and texture.
A good lotion for cleansing and
combing the face instead of water is
made of rectified spirits of wine, one
half ounce; juice of half a lemon, sim
ple tincture of benzoin, one-half
drachm; rose water, four ounces. As
this recipe makes but a small quantity
of the lotion, the proportions can be
doubled or tripled, if one is likely to
stand in permanent need of it. Moisten
the face with it in the morning, by
way of washing it, and after coming
in from the street. Its effect Is said to
be clarifying, soothing and tonic.
Sulphur, borax and glycerin are the
leading elements in a lotion that is
used in England for arresting the fall-
Ing of the hair. Take one-half drachm
each of the sulphur, borax and
glycerin, and to them add four ounces
of rose water. This wash, it is said,
cools the scalp and supplies to the
roots of the hair the oil, the lacking of
which is so often a source of dry,
scanty and falling locks.
A man who suffered from catarrh
says that he cured himself of the mal
ady by bathing the feet every night in
cool water and putting on clean stock
ings every morning.
Salt and chopped ice in the propor
tions of one Jto one-half, tied up In a
cotton cloth bag and applied to the
head, will often give relief in cases of
nervous headache.
Woman Not Allowed to Preach.
LOCKPORT, N. V.. Sept. 16.—After
deliberating an entire day, a council of
Congregational ministers has voted to
decline to ordain Mrs. Emma Dietrlck

FOR A BOY'S SAKE
Across the harbor she could see the
silver of the city's great electric lights
outlined aguinst the gold of the myriad
gas Jets on the water front. Between
her and the silver and gold lay the
black of the water, dotted here and
there by the red signal gome passing
schooner swung; nearer still she caught
an occasional gleam from the dull, cop
pery bronze of the old cooper's sign.
i Mechanically, almost, she re-rend the
note she held. "My own sweet Helen,"
it begun, "at last I have tnrown over
everything. All the world Is nothing
compared with your love f I shall be
waiting tonight at the Union station at
9. Yours, ever and only D."
Wearily she closett her eyes and
leaned her forehead against the cool of
the window pane. She must, she would,
think the matter over from the begin- |
ning, calmly and clearly.
She had been born on this dingy |
water front, had spent all her girlhood
there. A girlhood embittered by pas
sionate longings for beauty and color
utterly at variance with her Incon
gruous surroundings. At seventeen,
while a waitress in an uptown cafe,
she met Jim Forrest —gambler, "dead
game sport"—and yet on the whole an
all-around good fellow.
He, taken first with her pretty face,
then with the innate modesty and re
finement of the girl, married her. From
city to city they went, and the young
girl fairly reveled in her unaccustomed
luxury- When Jim had luck they spent
money like water —when luck was bad
they cheerfully did without. Jim was
always good to her and was wonder
fully happy, especially after the boy
came.
Suddenly, like a thunder clap out of a
clear sky, came the ending. One dread
ful day they brought Jim home to her,
dead! accidentally shot in a gambling
fray. Penniless, she returned to her
mother's little shop again, ready to do
anything and everything to bring up
her boy a man and a gentleman. But
it was not to be. Within a year the
blue eyes had closed- forever and the
manly little chap smiled bravely into
his stricken mother's face for the last
time.
A widow and childless at twenty
four, for month* It seemed as though
her heart was numbed with sorrow.
The second year followed the first with
a break in the dreary monotony of her
life. Then he came—Dane Carlson,
first officer on one of the great owan
liners. A nasty fall In front of their
little shop and a resultant sprained
ankle that forced him to call for her
mother's assistance —that had been the
beginning of it all. Now, this was the
end. And, oh, but It had been sweet,
perilously sweet, while it lasted.
She had been very fond of Jim, she
had loved her boy with all the tender
ness of a mother's heart —but this all
devouring passion between man and
woman, this was the love that comes
but once in a woman's life, and is at
one* the crown and cross thereof.
She had known that he was married
—a foolish, boyish union to a woman
much older than himself —a creature
hardly worthy of the name, who was
now paying the penalty of her excesses
in partial insanity. She knew, too that
death alone could grant him freedom,
but what mattered that? Given his
love, what cared she for either the
world's conventionalities or its scorn?
Together, in some far far new land,
they would defy fate and be happy.
Already her preparations were com
plete, her lover awaited her—when
suddenly the chance speech of a broth
er bfflcer made it at once and forever
impossible. There was a child—a boy!
A boy like her own, perhaps—a boy
who, by her, would be compelled In
yearg to come to bear the burden of his
father's sin. Ah, no, she could not,
would not do it.
With firmly closed lips she turned
from the window, and. seating herself
at the table, began to write hurriedly:
"Dear friend." she commenced, "are
you not a bit precipitate In bringing
matters to a climax so soon? At nnv
rate, you must not expert me to join
you. I know we have talked of it. but
now I find my courage falls me. It was
the uncertainty that held the charm, I
fear. Unflattering, but true, neverthe
less. I regret that you have forced me
to confess so soon, but as it Ib, you
have left me no other course than to
say good-by and wish yon better luck
with your next sweetheart. As ever.
—"Helen."
' And because you are a man," ahe
said half bitterly, as ahe sealed her
note, "your wounded pride will save
you from heartache —while I—"
Abruptly she caught up her boy's
photograph from the table —"Oh, baby,
boy," she said slowly, "you little know
what you've cost your mother tonight."

SOMETHING UNSAID.
What la't that f *mbles on the Hd
The quivering lip?
Why Is the hind no lotli to slip
Its friendly grip?
There's something un.H.iid -something un
said.
Why Jove* the Raze of the parting friend
Its tedious end?
Why must the tok*n that we wend
Of farewell mend?
There's something unsaid -something un-
Why restlessly linger? Why silently
ponder?
Or mentally wander?
Why Is the mind, when hearts grow
fonder.
Nor here nor yonder'
There's something unsaid—something un
said.
Why has the footstep heavy grown
In travel alone?
What moans this 111-suppressed, low
moan.
Or sigh or groan?
There's something unsaid—something un
said.
Ah. no: we never consent to say It;
We always delay It.
As though tr, sp<-;ik were to betray It,
Aside we lay It —
This something unsaid—something un
said.
—Charles R. McCabe.
MAKING OVER THE WORLD.
At rest lay stretched the simple lea—
A region elemental,
Where life for all the folk was free
No bird nor beast paid rental.
A dreadful state of waste. I know;
'Tls hard to understand It.
Except the fact 3 would go to show
That only God had planned it.
But man stepped In and built a town:—
He tore its peace to flinders;
He plowed it up and cut It down;
He filled It blue with rlndern;
Pressed brick supplanted shrub and tree
And further he revised it
Till scarce the air itnelf was free—•
And thus he "civilized" it.
—Four Track News.
