TOPEKA STATE JOURNAIj, S ATTTRDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 8. 1900. 13 FOR THE WOMEN. me to Think of Christmas Presents is Here. Popularity of the Umbrella For Gift Purposes. THE TEIL NOVELTIES. "Double Faced Illusions' the Yery Latest. Are Things of Intere st to House keepers and Others. Whn on the search for Christmas presents the umbrella department should come in for a share of ones at tention. True a pretty umbrella coe.a several dollars but the giver should bal- : mfT.i the cost of the article autc i . i uij . j k. r,mhf- of times ne in ?i r,r .irip the year by the re .tV- ,l.ubtle?3 decid him. Every time the umorelU is ta. from the rack a Feasant thought of ken the mind. An umbrella makes an equahy ac cepuon eift for either a man or a. wo man. The very newest and 5 est -inr.sf in handles is the run metal, Wks a trifle like exidized silver arvt ernes in two styles, opera crooks ana princess: most of them are sit with im itation stones. They cost from three dollars and a half up. no-her rrtttv handle is of r.earl and gold: about four inches is of solid moth er of pearl with a stretch ot poia at either side and is finished at the end with a jtoM ball. Handles of Roman K"id set with jewels are a;fo very ef fective. One cf the prettiest umbrellas f jr men has for a handle a real elk horn, jiolished and carved. Nearly all of the umbrellas now shown are plain black as they are more appro priate for winter, but very pretty color ed on-s are to be found which may be saved for summer. The plain taffeta um brellas now shown in cciors are very I.r-rty". trimmed with several rows of i ib'.;on of a contrasting shade in several widths. Veil Novelties. Double faced Illusion veils are the lat ets rwveltv. Thev- come in pink, blue, red and in" fact all colc-rs .and are over liid with squares and dots of black. The !'S ripti 'n does not sound very attrac tive but they are a decided improvement over the vivid green veil? which were a fad of th- fall, but a fad that did not pain much of a foothold in Top-eka. The 1 ink. ones with black dots are really very beoominsr, in fact the clerks de clare that thev will make any one loo prettv. Chiffon vei'.s are again becoming i-opufar and it is said that scarlet ones are to be worn this winter. Plain blaett veils however. ar more universally be coming, and are always in good ta&te. White is Popular. This is the month of foes, and yet whit-" is a popular color, though I never know if or, ouetit to call white a color or not. writes .Madame. However, be- it ca"."d as it may. there is a perfect rape for white raiment. For evening wear it in charmirsf. and has advantaees.but for day wear in London during a November f.nr. surely It is extremely extra-v-aa-ant. Not that the Question of extravagance ever enters into the minds of the fash ion auth h ities. Take, f ir example, the fur muff and nik!et of the moment: also headarear. The prettiest specimens are all whire or largely trimmed with it. What could d mi.r attractive than a huge sable muff, with three- larz frills of white tulle ar.d a ltninsr of white satin? An enormous sable boa or collarette,' with a larsr3 in rier ruffle of th white, and a hat resemb ling a mass of white tulle, would be worn with that muff. And a more be coming yet incongruous fashion would ie hard to discover. Then we have a fancy for white feath ers, and again hats, muffs and necklets correspond. Already our headgear sup ports so many feathers that if the crae Increases we shall shortly resemble the primeval savage. But what matters, so long as we follow the fashion of 13u0? 'l here is something fascinating in white feathers, shaded with pale pearl gray. Very few wonvii look weii in them, but how many will attempt them? As for ermine and white caracul coats fr day wear. I think they are perfcctiy hideous. and too suggestive of third rate theatrical style to be ever quite le rieur. I am glad to say it is but the fad of a few folks who wish to out fashicn Fashion. These two furs are lovely, however, w hen utilized as linings and peeping- out of hug" collars: especially are thev charming when the exterior is of some ready rich fabric, such as ruby or pur ple velvet, with exquisite black and gold embroideries or similar trimming upon them. That Lonj-Waisted Effect The long-waisted craze shows it3e!f as much in the styles for young girls as ft does in the styles for older women. All young frirls now have the w-aists of their (Towns cut to be pointed in front and with some blouse effect. This is, of course, very becoming to the un formed figure of a schoolgirl, and her frocks can be made, in consequence, to have a b.uite smart look. A simple but effective little gown has a blouse edged w ith a narrow band of cloth bright red or blue, for instance and fastened with GOLD MEDAL, PARIS, 1900 The Judges at the Paris Exposition have awarded a COLD MEDAL to Walter Baker & Go, the largest manufacturers of cocoa and chocolate in the world. This is the third award from a Paris Exposition. BAKER'S CGGOAS AND CHOCOLATES are always uniform in qual ity, absolutely pure, deli cious, and nutritious. The genuine goods bear our trade-mark on every pack age, and are made oaiy by Walter Baker & Co. i.f DORCHESTER MASS, two round gold buttons. It is cut low In the neck to show a tucked yoke of taffeta or velvet, and the turned-back cuffs match, the joke. The skirt fastens at one side tinder a. band of the same color, and la finished with a flaring flounce. There is a. narrow velvet belt fastened with a gold buckle in front. Harper's Bazar. The Psyche Knot Fashionable young women are again affecting the Psyche knot, in the way of hairdressing. This style pleases the Uadonna-faeed types, but not the wo men with high foreheads and retrousse noses. Young matrons still adhere to the Marie Antoinette coiffure, only the pompadour roll Is considerably lower, directly in front, and has much less of the frowsy Nauteh girl appearance than has been common recently. High, stiff collar bands are gradually disappearing- from our wardrobes. The fashion for transparent lace neckbands during the summer has taught people the comfort and wisdom of having something light and soft round the throat. A lace tuc ker, held up by a rib bon velvet threaded through the top. is visible on many gowns, and even w hen inter comes roiled and turned-down collars will be- the vogue rather than the high Medici shape, with which we have striven to hide the) contour of the net k for the last few years. The way the head is poised on the shoulders and its graceful carriage are not among the hidden treasures of the wise woman, and to her the change will be a welcome one. Ruffles and boas w ill be worn well away from the throat, resting rather on the shoulders. Ruffles are caught to gether at the waist with a jeweled serp ent or a. fanciful clasp of some kind. Sleep Beautifies. If women once get an inkling of the splendid beautifying effects of refresh ing, healthful sleep all the petticoated beings of the earth would go to bed with the chickens. Sleep is nature's restorer, tonic and medicine. During sleep the body gath ers new forces and makes up for gen eral wear and tear on nerves, muscles, blood and tissues. Therefore, restful sleep is indispensable to health and life. Have two windows In your room open or a window and a door, so that a cur rent of fresh, invigorating air will dis turb that blanket of heavy exhalations and give new life materials to the lun--s. It is not wise to have the cur rent blowing over one, but a screen near the bed or a larse garment thrown over a chair will hold back any stiff breezes that may chase in. Impure air is the parent of more colds than draughts. Invalids with tu berculosis go to awrm climates and sleep out of doors, the cure being en tirely in filling the lungs with pure, life-giving airs. There should not only be a big supply of fresh, moving air in the sleeping apartment, but there should be nothing to contaminate it. Queen Victoria as Matchmaker. Queen Victoria has always been more or less a matchmaker. She is in favor of early marriages, and if not early, ' better late than never." There is a good story of a motherly kind of appeal which she made to the Rev. Cosmo Gor don LanK. the vicar of Pc-rtsea, a cler ical friend, who twice a year by special invitation preaches to the queen. Af terward she chats with him, more par ticularly about the poor in the neighbor hood of the dock yard. He dines with her majesty at least twice a year, gen erally after the preaching. One niht she asked her bachelor guest if it was true that he had ten curates. He said it was quite true. "Would It not be a wise arrangement, ilr. Lang." said her majesty, "if you reclamed the number of your curates to seven Ami took home a wife to Fort- ! sea? The queen has a very sweet and per suasive smile, and she smiled graciously upon Mr. Iang. "You see, ma'am." he replied, "if I c.is agree with my curates we can part: but if I were to disagree with my wife it might end in my having to leave my parish." "A droll, but unconvincing- excuse." said her majesty, and laughingly changed the subject. Newcastle Chron icle. Patti's Fan. In days to come the world will crowd to see lime. Patti's autograph fan. Though comparatively plain, it is one of those few objects that gather value as time rolls on. Even now many of the signatures written across this dainty piece of chicken-skin could not be repeated. The late Empress of Aus tria. Alexander II of Russia, the old German Emperor "William I to these three signatures now attach a pathetic interest, the more so when it is remem bered that the first two died by the hand of an assassin. Mme. Patti was even fortunate enough to obtain not only the signature, but a long sentence in our own sovereign's beautiful flowing hand writing: "If King Lear spoke the truth when he said that a sweet voice was the most precious gift a woman can possess, you, my dear Adelina. must be the richest woman in the world." Lon don Xews. Cure For Lovesickness. Xew cure for the love-sick heart has been discovered bicarbonate of lime! The waters of the well of Alanje. in Spain, have been found to be a potent remedy for girls suffering from the un requited passion. Strange to say. the waters do not work with equal efficacy in the case of men sufferingg from the mitten. Recently the water of this wonderful spring has been analyzed. The result has been to find that it contains no oth er sajts than that named above. Yet the cures go on. Hysteria yields to its gentle yet powerful influence; nervous troubles are cured.and lovelorn Ophelias bathing once or twice in its magic wa ters return to their friends cured of their blue devils. Dr. Martinex Regeura, a physician of renown in Spain, has recorded some of the more marvelous cures. A country maiden fell in love with a military cousin who failed to reciprocate proper ly. She lost her appetite and became sj wildlv hysterical that she had to be put under restraint. After some months she was taken to Alanje. bathed in the morning and at night, and soon return ed cured of her sickness and her love. A lass of Seville, aged IT. took such a dislike to her betrothed that at the sight of him she went Into a frenzy, spoke in coherently and refused all food. Nor could she sleep. Her course at the won derful spring was only half finished when speech returned, she began to sleep naturally, and best miracle of ail her affection for the despised one re turned. To a girl of 20 whose lovesickness took the form of melancholy and rolling on the floor, the bicarbonate of lime water brought r cheerfulness, and after twenty baths she was cured. All aboard for Alanje and the baths which would have enabled Romeo and Juliet to live, perchance, until today! New York Journal. Fads and Fancies. It is predicted by fashionable dress makers that white cloth frocks and oats will be much worn this winter. But cream cloth, fur trimmed, is equal--" pretty and may have a larger vogue. A rose colored tweed coat seen the other day was long arid semi-fitting and had chinchilla facings and cuffs. For coats of this description many bright shades of cloth are used, and when trimmed in dark furs they are rich and becoming. Some of the prettiest party frocks for little girls are of white washing siik, with many encircling rows of Valen ciennes insertion about the skirt. Light blue or pink nun'a veiling, lace trimmed, is another favorite material for such occasions. The introduction of gold braid on un derskirts is frowned upon by women of good taste. Those who know say that the gold craze has run its course, arid will be shortly superseded by silver. The Louis XIII cola is a host in it self, and adds a softness to the face, giving almost every woman & pic turesque appearance. A novel and extremely stylish bodice for demitoilette is composed of brocaded satin, with undersleeves and basque of chiffon, edged with chenille, the decol letage trimmed with tagged ends. Folds of ciiiffon and large reve-rs of Renais sance lace complete the original model. The trimmings for street gowns range from machine stitching on cheviots to raised embroidery on broad cloth. This season's crepe, as trimming, is used in masses, but not in narrow folds. In the general reversion of things, flannel is being combined with velvet. There is a craze not only for the tails, but for the paw a of the fur animals. There seem to be no sleeves to full evening toilettes. Some dinner gowas have elbow or even the long sleeve, but for the ball room the shoulder strap suf fices. Transparent yokes and sleeves are lined with chiffon in the faintest pink tint. Corselet ceintures in. velvet or satin, of a contrasting color to the gown, have become a sort of winter fixture. No body thinks of encircling their waist in a straight around ceinture these days. The President's Niece. It is seldom that a young girl who may have wealth and the highest social position chooses the drudgery and irk some duties of a school teacher. Such a unique specimen of fair American maid enhood is found in the orphan niece of President McKinley. Miss Grace McKin- ley. A year ago last June the president and Mrs. McKinley, with a party of fritnds cabinet officers and other prom inert officials went to that staid and distinguished seat of learning. Mount Holyoke college. South Hadley, Mass., to see Miss Grace take her degree of i A. Miss Grace stood at the head of her class, while her record during the entire course had been one of praiseworthy en deavor. The president, to show his ap preciation of her success, bestowed on his niece a beautiful diamond pin. The graduation dress, a dainty creation of white chiffon and lace, was Mrs. McKin ley' s gift. It was after this great event that the president offered to adopt Miss Grace, formally, and thus make her the reign ing belle of the nation the social leader of the capital the only young girl In the great presidential mansion at Washing ton. This was surely a tempting offer, but it did not swerve this beautiful and bril liant girl from a long cherished aspira tion. She wished to use her gifts in a fitting way in one to which she had endeavored to train herself during her long and severe probation at Mount Holyoke. She chose the arduous pro fession of a school teacher, and this fall, on her own application. sustained by her record at college, she secured a position in the high school of Middletown. Conn. She began her duties in September. Success. A Queer Custom. At the birth of a Japanese baby a tree is planted, which must remain untouch ed until the marriage day of the child. When the nuptial hour arrives, the tree Is cut down and a skillful cabinet-maker transforms the wood into furniture, i which is considered by the young peo ple as the most beautiful of all orna ments of the house. The burning of the bride's playthings is part of the wed ding ceremony in Japan. The bride lights the torch, which she hands to the bridegroom, and he lights the fire, and the toys are destroyed. Growing Friendliness. "It is interesting to note that the begin ning of the closer intimacy and friendship between English and American society reailv originated in a great calamity that befell the United States." says a writer in "The Iondon Daily Telegraph." "It dates from the wounding of President Garfield by his assassin and the long and painful illness that preceded his death. During that trying period the tender and woman ly sympathy evinced by the Queen toward the stricken head of the great Republic touched the American people very deeply. The friendly feelings engendered by it have continued to develop and promise to frow into something that will permanent y affect the cordiality of the relations subsisting between the English, and Amer ican peoples. No part of the population of either country is more anxious that this should be so than the American col ony in Ijmdijn. It is ritting mat the wo men of England and America should come more and more together. " 'Why is t.' said an American woman in Iridon the other day. 'that most of you English people will persist in takine the noisy young woman of eighteen or twenty, who stays alone at a hotel and is her own protector and chaperon, as the typical American girl?' Probably the easiest reply would have been to say that the real Americans are so quiet and lady like that they attract no attention, and that the pushful hotel young woman was taken as the real representative of her countrywomen. It would not have been, however, a fitting answer. There Is no such thing as commonplace American women. Their cleverness, wit and bright womanly qualities make them conspicu ous. They aim at being real, helpful com- ? anions to their husbands and brothers, 'erhaps that is why they have the best time of any women on earth. They have earned the position they enjoy In the esti mation of their men foik. which made Max O'Rell declare that If he had any future reincarnation to undergo he would beg the Great Ruler of the Cniverse to make him an American woman." Chinese Proverbs About Women. There is much of philosophy in the sub joined sayings found in Chinese literature and having relation to women: Respect always a silent woman: great Is the wisdom of the woman that noldeth he tongue. A vain woman is to be feared, for she wiil sacrifice ail for her pride. Trust not a vain woman, for she is first in her own eye. A haughty woman stumbles, for she can not see what may be in her way. Trust not the woman that thinketh more of herself than another; mercy will not dwell in her heart. The gods honor her who thinketh lon before opening her lips. Pearls come from her mouth. A woman that Is not loved is a kite from which the string has been taken: she drives with every wind and cometh to naught by a long fail. A woman and a child are alike: each needs a strong, uplifting hand. A woman that respects herself Is more beautiful than a single star: more beau tiful than many stars at niarht. Woman is the ease for that which pains the father: she is balm for his troubles. A woman who mistakes her place can never return to where she first was: the path has been covered up from her eye. A woman desirous of being seen bv men Is not trustworthy; fear the glance" from her eye. Give heed to her to whom children hax-e come; she walks in the sacred ways and lacks not love. When first a woman loves she fears: she fears not that to which she has be come accustomed. A mother not spoken well of by her children is an enemy of the state: she should not live within the kingdom s wall. Against Objectionable Cognomens. Elizabeth Cady Stanton thinks there is ! a great deal in a name, and her latest fad consists in cautioning all young women against marrying men with objectionable j cognomens. She instances several which she has picked at random, like "Kick" and "Ashbox." and advises young women who are so unlucky as to be engaged to men with undesirable names to insist, be fore marriage, that they have their names changed by legislative act. Training the Chili We must choose, then, the influences of sight and sound which are to be for our children the means of growth. And in or der that we may choose intelligently in order, too. that these means of growth may advance by gradual and continuous stages corresponding to the development of the children themselves, we must study the needs of childhood at each stage of its development. These needs may be re vealed to us in various ways. By watch ing children at piay we discover what na ture impels them to do and to enjoy. By recalling our own childhood we reaiixe by what instincts we were governed at cor responding periods of growth. By study ing the history of mankind we learn in what order hia Impulses were manifested and by what means they became the stepping-stones to higher forms of activity. To these we must add Proebel's great principle of self-activity, of "freedom un der law." Having discovered the needs of our children and the means of gratify ing them, and having supplied these means in the environment of home or school, we must still leave body, mind and soul free, to do their own growing No, Impatient forcing of faculties which seem to us slow in their In their unfold ing, no arbitrary grafting of our per sonal convictions upon minds which must open to the light in their own way. but a patient and steadfast maintaining of the great general principles of right liv ing physical, mental and moral until the little organism grasps and assimilates for itself the materials nature impels it to seek.

Good Floor and Good Bread. The present day process of flour mak ing is generally conducted on thoroughly scientific principles by the best millers: and the rules that govern competition are based, not so much upon an effort to make a cheap product, but upon the amount of the nutritive elements possi ble to retain in producing a iiour pleas ing in the sight of the housekeeper. Be ware of a flour that has no other claim to; merit but cheapness. SELECTING FLOURS. When selecting flour, remember the oft repeated admonition given to buyers of food materials: "The best is always the cheapest." Housewives have so far learned this to their advantage: that the very white flours, those having a bluish tinge, are to be passed by for those having a rich, creamy, yellowish tint. The dead-white flours are a delusion and a snare. They contain no more nourish ment than the same quantity of corn starch and do not make the finest ap !earing or daintiest colored bread, even if one is willing to sacrifice wholesome ness to appearance. Upon the kind of grain, its perfection, age and care in cleaning, as well as the method of mill ing, depends the quality of the flour, whether white or dark. While the color of the flour must guide to a certain ex tent, there are other important points to be considered. The flour must be sweet to taste, dry antl free from any sour musty smeii. Entire wheat flour, if it be of good quality, has a sweet, nutty flavor, and when moistened produces a quanuly of gluten, In regard to the gluten, this same rule holds with a good white flour as well. The dark flours require especial care in selecting, as they are often made up of the poorer variety of grain, bran and such inferior mifl products: and oft times are not uver-ciean. In these adul terated flours the rich flavor is lacking; in fact, they have little if any flavor ex cept that in some grades there is a very noticeable bitterness. THE CHEAPEST FLOUR. Comparing the amount of nourishment contained in a loaf of good bread with the very little extra cost for the finest grades, the best Hour is the cheapest. Good flours wiil make a great deal more bread than the poorer qualities. Stutiy the brands of flours: just as closely as you study the quality of wearing materials. The trade-mark on a barrel of good flour is of more vital importance to your fam ily at large than whether your gown be all sliK or near sllK. COMBINATION OF BREAD AND MEAT. Here let us say that people do not seem to reutize that the wheat gnxin and its products should not be combined too fre quently with meats, as a g'od flour should contain the same nitrogenous ele ments. When all the necessary fod elements are combined and starches are furnished in sufficient quantity in rice or potatoes, bread is superfluous, except in the form of small breads served with soup and salads, it is not the expense for what we actually need, but what we waste in various ways, that makes the cost of liv ing such a grievous problem. In the selec tion and purchase, the cooking and eatirg of our food, we must employ scientific knowledge and common sense. TO MAKE GOOD BREAD. Good flour will not make good bread without a conformation to certain fixed rules and principles, governed by natural law. Good bread :s not the result of chance. The best flour is of little value without an intelligent understanding of how- to transform it into proper food. How to convert the valuable properties of the grain into a form adaptable to the average digestive powers of man and at the same time render it pleasing to the ta.ste. The first step necessary is to separate the particles of. flour and .surround them with moisture. Therefore we add a given amount of liquid. This moistens the starch, dissolves the sugar and albumen and also develops tenacity in the gluten, which binds the substances together in an adhesive mass. This we call batter or dough. In making unieavened bread, which is very wholesome for those able to digest it and who will properiy masti cate it. the next procedure would be to bake this dough. But in order to make it more porous and readily digested we must go further and employ some agent and means to this effect. The giuten of whe:-1 flour is very elastic: therefore when we add yeast or some form of gaseous sub stance to the mixture and thoroughly in corporate it by kneading this leavening power causes the gluten to expand to a very great degree, forming- elastic wall around little cells as the dough rises and increases in bulk. The more thoroughiv the ferment or air is distributed in the dough the finer the texture of your loaf. BAKING.
