12 WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT. EDITED BY BELLS MEADE SMITH. The Future Californium Are the boys and girls who are now (trowing up, amid a confusion of trunks, tin cans and improvised clos ets. What influence will such sur roundings have upon his or her after life ? is the question which naturally arises. Certainly such association j, to say the least of it, do not serve to educate the taste or refine the pereep Hons. Neither are they conducive to the cultivation of that home feeling which in maturer years is such a bulwark to the mor al character. In innumerable instances this utter disregard of do mestic comfort is the result of cir cumstances over which the heads of families have no control, in others it is due to a determination to speedily amass a fortune; and in many more cases, it arises from an indifference, improperly called atmospheric, -but which really is born of the absolute cutting loose fspm old customs and acquaintances. In Los Angeles there are a great many beautifully furnished and well conducted homes, but the masses of the people live in an abandoned' style un worthy of even the poorer neighbor hoods of the East. Vet the majority of these very people, previous to their migration to the Pacific slope, lived not only nicely, but elegantly. Of course the change of residence and the long journey consequent upon it necessitated, in most instances, the sale of all household effects and the subsequent building up of new homes; but it did not necessitate a perfect emancipation from all rules of neatness, comfort and beauty. I know one respectable family, consisting of a father, mother and three children, two of whom are half grown, who keep a lodging-house, and who sleep and eat in one small room. I know another of the same size and social stratum who live in an apartment adjoining a butcher shop, ami which is so thoroughly saturated with the odor of fish and meat that night or day it is impossible while in it to in hale one breath of pure air. Unfortunately, these cases are not exceptional. Then, too, be hold the yard which surrounds the average cottage. Instead of being covered with grass, and adorned with flowers, it is the recep tacle of every species of rubbish and disfigurement. Unsightly sheds or so-called barns, fences without even an apology of paint, and boxes, and discarded pans, and papers and rags heaped in hopeless confusion one upon another. To these surround ings, therefore, the children's eyes become habituated; they know no more of beauty than they know of ice and snow. They see, but they do not observe the majestic grandeur of the mountains, the celestial blue of the sky and the gorgeous coloring of the flowers which bloom so prodigally about them. A few are born with the love of the beautiful, but the majority are not, and so, as their tastes are not cultivated, they are -doomed to go through life with their esthetic sight blindfolded. The effect of this general carelessness has a tendency to make indifferent boys develop into indifferent men, and slovenly girls develop into slovenly women. Under such circumstan ces it is utterly impossible ior even the most clever girl to learn how to keep house properly. Her quarters are restricted and unde fined, her clothing and books are crammed into an overcrowded trunk, or are tangled up with her brother's rubber boots and improvised kite in the family closet; while she is so used to seeing the frying pan under the bed and the soiled linen iv the vegetable basket, that she grows up unconscious of the domestic discord that would have turned her New England grand mother's hair gray in a week. Besides, she misses the pleasure so dear to every girl of having a room to herself; and which, at will, she can decorate with the photographs of her school mates, souvenirs in the form of shells, bits of wood," illustrated cards, et'-., and those countless fancy articles wrought by herself or her com panions; and she has no parlor wherein to entertain her friends—a serious obstacle in the way of any young woman, and one which serves to drive her for amusement into the streets. Where, then, is the future Oalifomian to look for a capable wife unless he imports her from the East, and what is to become of the girls of the present generation if the boys all take unto them partners from the more conventional sections of the States? Possibly, when the present boom dies out, and trade and society drift imto a more settled con dition, children and home will receive more attention. Yet public sentiment regulates matters, and so long as bad housekeeping is treated as a test and not an offense against good ■reeding, slip-shod ways are apt to prevail. Tlte Highest Split-re. No woman is so happy as she who has been wise or fortunate enough to marry well, and who has a thought ful husband and a sunshiny home. No woman is so unfortunate as she whom genius or necessity has created a celebrity. The famous woman, it is true, gets all of the glory, the im mortality, but the domestic woman gets all the love and the happiness. While the one is uniformly con tent, the other is uniformity, dis satisfiied, and not needlessly so either, The public is a remorseless tyrant, and in order to comply with its mul titudinous demands, she is constantly -compelled to work and to endure. Whatever she produces, whether it be a picture, a statue or a book, must be complete enough to bear the scru teny of millions of critical eyes which are to view it. In order to get to the fop of the ladder of renown, she is forced to climb step by step with blistered feet and bleeding hands, and if she would hold fast to the laurel wreath which she has snatched from off the dizzy summit to which she has attained, she must toil and struggle more persistently than she did while she was unknown. If at first she is lucky enough to produce something so dazzling that it lifts her right out of obscurity into fame, all of tier later efforts are likely to be meas ured by and held back by the first born of her brain. On the other hand, if her early productions are not striking how is she to catch the public ear or eye, deaf and blind as they both are to unrecognized merit? Then, too, her original ity is always a matter of dis pute. She is always being re minded by this critic or that, that when she said so-and-so, she was merely quoting Goethe, or Byron, or •de Steel; and that some theory of hers, and which she has hugged from childhood or girlhood up, is a myth of the imagination which Voitaire or Darwin, or some later constellation, has utterly exploded. If she paints a portrait, no matter bow excellent it may be, she is assured by some cavi lerthat she has caught a false expres sion. If she undertakes a lards ape she s confronted by another, whose pro vince it is to tear down and discourage with the statement that she has worked in a bad light and thus has impaired the naturalness of her re sults. If she creates a statue, she is doomed to have it dissected as com pletely and as unlovingly as the corpse of the pauper carved up into portions for the scientific digestion of the anatomical class. If she writes a book, the most ungrateful task of all, she must, before she hurls her first missile, prepare herself for a hot and continuous attack, if not for ultimate defeat, since to allow nothing new to stand has become the law of the critic of the day. There fore, as the accepted decision that the novelists of the past have exhausted everything, and that in consequence there is nothing left for the writers of the future to do but to imitate, occu pies the same relation to fiction, as the theory of predestination does to the plan of salvation, of wh t avail is the ambitious _ and the genius born now and in time to come ? With these knotty probleins,however, the happy woman with the good hus band and the cheerful home is not puz zled ; it is only the unhappy woman with the glory and the im mortality of genius, who must fret herself to death over their solution. Yet brilliant women, and men, too, have written and are still writing volemes upon the Highest Sphere possible to women, and which in the finest rhetoric and with the clearest arguments are intended to prove that cooking is drudgery, the care of children slavery, and that a career of fame (if she cannot have both) is better for an enlightened woman than a husband. But if the humble man is acknowledged to be happier than the ambitious man, does it not follow that the humble woman is infinitely happier than the ambi tious woman, whose nerve is never as strong and whose nature is always far more sensitive than his with whom in the arena of publicity she is forced to jostle. Besides, even the women who have craved for them selves immortal places in the book of fame, have found their truest and best happiness in the companion ships which have in the duality of their experiences weighed them down to the level of the oidinary woman. Outside of the realm of poetry, Mrs. Browning lived a charmed life with the man who helped to make her what she was while in her maturer years. Madame De Stael, who flwas of an intensely affectionate nature, descended from the heights of politics and literature to wed the obscure young soldier who loved her, so that when she died he died of grief soon after her. But these and others of the same character of brain power were born to be great, and' so could no more escape their destinies than the stars can escape their spheres. The masses of women toilers, women artists, though, are not so created ; and merely strug gle because they are compelled to. Yet the world condemns them for rushing out into the battle of life, in stead of quietly and contentedly re maining at home; and does not realize or understand that the warfare is a necessity, and that bread is the only reward ever sought or found. The lot of sucli wemen is incomparably hard. They have all of the hardships and none of the celebrity which makes even the most weary road to success easy. Again there are a few, a very few, women, who from choice aban don private for public life, and who, with no particular aptitude, but a genuine love of work, find their pleasures outside of themselves and their homes. These women are of ten amiable and useful members of society, and as such are expert in some branch of art or trade; but as they are neither great nor domestic, and as their husbands and their chil dren (if they have any), needs must suffer for their mistaken zeal, it would seem that they, at least, had not attained the Highest Sphere. Who has? She, I think, who has the opportunity and tfie ability to make home a paradise, to keep a husband a lover, and to rear up a family of children to bless her and benefit society. The Hotel Westminster, Which at the present time is in the hands of the upholsterers, the fresco painter and the seamstress, will when it is completed be an ornament as well as an accommodation to Los Angeles. It contains 250 rooms ull of which are light and well venti lated ; and it is equipped«with every modern improvement. The skylight on the fourth floor sheds a mellow light over the galleries below, while the entries ani stairways are all cheerful and accessible. The entire house is being carpeted and furnished in the most tasteful and elegant man ner, and the dining-room and kitchen is to be conducted upon the most ap proved plan All of the chamber maids aud waitresses have been care fully selected, and are capable and refined The chambermaids will dress in uniform and wear caps and aprons. The Heron family, of tne Hotel West minster, San Francisco, are the pro prietors. Mrs. Heron, the piesiding genius, is a regal looking woman of rare ability and fine manners. In her pre vious business ventures she has been so successful that, as soon as the Los Angeles Hotel is fairly under way, she has arranged to retire to her ranch for the rest she so much needs. In her absence, Mrs. Megqueer, the re sponsible housekeeper, whose ser vices the future guests of the house will have reason to appreciate, will preside. In traversing the many beau tiful, but now empty, rooms of the Hotel Westminster, it is pleasant to contemplate the comfort they will af ford the tourists destined to occupy these 250 vacant rooms. At the low est calculation 250 weary and dust begrimmed travellers will not be compelled to scramble for a resting place. In the words of tbe Baron Mount Gosline, it is indeed "A happy thought." Items of Fashion. For walking gloves, from this time to spring again, dog-skin will be used; for visiting or evening gloves, kids should be worn. Large pink roßes, the Gabriel Luizet and Marguerites and large white Curitano roses are the fashion able flowers of the season. They should be worn high on the corsage. Navy blue and crenison flannel skirts are general for morning wear, over some dark colored skirt. Some are worn as Norfolk jackets, others as Garibaldis, and a few have yokes. Others are made with fiat pleats or gathered and full fronts, with the gathers put in for about an inch at the LOS ANGEJ.ES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 29, 1888. neckband on each side of the opening. Some have high collars and are worn without white collars and cuffs, while others turn down or are cut out like a man's coat and show a linen collar and cravat. Si k m shi 11 of soft surah for evening wear at home are highly approved. Plush Norfolk jackets and also black and dark-colored velvet and velveteen are worn with thick day skirts. HOUSEHOLD decorations. A double mantle can be made with very little expense, and will add greatly to the appearance of any room. The lower portion of it is de signed in the form of a closet and is covered with a lambrequin; the up per portion is like a smaller closet, with two rows ol shelves run nearly, parallel with tho space winch in the middle is intended to accommodate a vase and a decorated China plate. All of the woodwork should b« stained to represent walnut, cherry or ebony, and the background of the entire case should be of felt or plush. If the woodwork is walnut the back ground should he blue, but if it is ebony, crimson or orange would be the most striking combination. When finished the shelves should be covered with china, pictures, brack ets, fans, etc. A wall pocket to hold cards is made of two pasteboard circles covered with plush or velvet. Catch them together at the sides, letting the edge of the upper circle come a little below the rim of the lower one, thus leaving a crescent shaped opening, which is the top of the pocket. Upon the outside circle fasten a loose burg of artificial flowers, and on one side catch the coid or ribbon upon which the pocket is suspended by a graceful bow with long loops and ends. Gems for the Cook. SUGAR cake. Two cups of sugar, three eggs, one cup of butter, half a cup of sour milk, two cups of flour, half a teaspoonful of soda. GALE CAKE. Four eggs, one cup of sugar, half a cup of butter, one teaspoonful of sale ratus, three-quarters of a cup of sour milk. CORN BREAD. One pound of corn meal, two eggs, two teaspoongful of salt, two tea spoonsful of sugar, one teaspoonful of cream-tartar, one teaspoonful of bi carbonate of soda, one large table spoonful of lard. Mix with either milk or water. Make stiff enough to pour. Bake in a hot oven. INDIAN I'CDDING. One cup of sifted meal. Over it pour one quart of boiling milk. Then add one cup of molasses, one cup of suet chopped fine and a little salt. Stir the ingredients together, and then add two cups of sliced sweet apple. Pour into the pudding dish and add one pint of cold milk. Bake live hours in a slow oven. SPICED APPLES, iiight pounds of apples, pared. Four pounds of sugar, one quart oi vinegar, one ounce stick cinna mon, half ounce cloves. Boil the vinegar, sugar and spices together; put in the apples when boiling and let '.hem remain until tender. Then take them out and put in a jar. Boil down ti:e syrup until thick and pour it o\er tho apples. BAKED HATTER PUDDING. One pint of cold milk, four table spoonfuls of flour, two eggs and a lit tle salt; stir the flour smooth into a part of the milk, then put in two eggs without beating, and then beat them well with the mixed flour.' Then add the remainder of the milk and the salt, and when well stirred together, pour into a buttered dish and bake half an hour. When it is done the whole top will have risen. The above makes a padding for a family of four and must be served with a liquid sauc. As far as tariff legislation by the Fiftieth Congress is concerned, such legislation is possible only through the co-operation of the Republicans of the Senate. Are they likely to approve any measure which fullows the lines indicated by President Cleveland's message? Would Democrats like Senator McPherson vote for such a measure? Would it be possible for the Democrats in the House to secure from the few Western Republicans who favor sweeping tarilf reductions, ai.d from the scanty band of Inde pendents, votes enough to put such a measure through the House, against the opposition of Mr. Randall and the protectionist Democrats? Would any measure which leaves the internal revenue taxes untouched have any chance with the Republicans? The answer to all these questions is No! — [New York Sun, Dem. The Actor. Oh. man, with your wonderful dower! Oh, woman, with genius aud grace! You can leich the whole world by your power, If you are but worthy the place. The stage is a force and a factor fu molding the thought of the day, If ouly the heart of the actor Is high as the theme of the play. No discourse, no sermon, can reach ub Through feeling to reason j ike you; No author can stir us or teach U6 With lessons so subtle aud true! Tour words and your gestures obeying, We ween or rejoice with your part, And the player behind all Mb playing, He ought to be great ai his art! No matter what role you are giving, No matter what skill you betray, The evcry-day Ufa you are living Is certain to color the play. The thoughts we call secret and hidden Are creatures of malice in fact— They steal forth uuseen aud urbidden And permeate motive and act. The genius that shines like n ccmet Kills only one part of God's plan; So the lesson the world derives from it Is marred by the life of the man. Be worthy your work If you love It. The king should be fit for the crown; Stand high as your art, or above it, Aud make us look up—and not down. —lElla Wheeler Wilcox. Hay For Sale.
