6 . Sixth and Robert Streets, St. Paul. Minn. WATER PROOF SHOEC AVEO Doctor bills and wet feet. A pair of wet weather shoes is as necessary a feature of a woman's wardrobe as a rain coat or umbrella. Many a serious illness must be attribut ed to wet or damp feet —the re sult of wearing thin sole shoes designed for pleasant days. The usual objection to wet weather shoes (that they are heavy and lacking in neatness) is completely overcome in THE MANNHEIMER SHOES, which are light and comfort able, being made of the finest Russia calf, with dull tops and thin soles; though far from thick, are guaranteed to be im pervious to dampness or wet, and are extremely flexible, com fortable, and yet cost you ONLY-$3.50 \l Wedding I v«l Invitations Kj| and Announcements I: j /a If you want to be; g Jr^n ' sure of having your B(\ work done correctly Hhy . >*y ' and up to date, have &\J $& Bullard Brothers fiM* V*B 95 East 6th St. Hkr\ . \k\ We get all th big weddings- ;£jr^yl JMJ UMBERS of people are invest "* ing in lotteries every day in the line of medicines.

A ST. PAUL HAS THE HONOR Few cities the size of St. Paul can claim the honor of having a Woman's Tailoring Establishment that designs and makes costumes for its patrons from Ocean to Ocean. This distinction, however, has been ours many times. We number among our patrons ladies living in New York City and in Se attle, Wash. There must be a reason for this honor, and we know it is because of the originality displayed in our crea tions. Having just the right thing and making it in just the right way has given us the reputation and large patronage we enjoy. We take great pride in assisting ladies in the selection of the proper thing and always see that the finished product is in taste, harmony and style, and never exorbitant in price.

WHAT THEY HAVE DONE RECORDS OF WOMEN IN THE PATENT OFFICE Many Wonderful Devices Have Been Invented by Women, and Not Only Those Needed in Domestic Work, but Many in Science and Machinery It is not surprising that foreigners regard us as a money-loving people if they read* the papers which are full of ways and means to make money, and especially ways for women to earn their living. However, if ono comes to make a bargain with a for eigner, it will be seen that we are mere infants in the matter. But that life in this country is largely given over to schemes for money-making, i and that we spend' our time in plan ning how to increase our means, can not be denied. The fact that women discovered a few years ago that they could go into business and make money at it, has been the means of innumer able suggestions for ways by which they can turn an honest "dollar. I was interested in an article which appeared in a late New York Sun giving an ac count of various inventions made by bright women and by which they have very easily made a fortune. Usually when you see one of these simple pat ents the first thought is how easy it would have been to think it out and to wonder why in the world you did not happen to chance upon it. The records at "Washington reveal the fact that there are very few lines in which women have not essayed to make some short cut to comfort by means of invention. When you find that a woman has patented a man's collar or shirt button, do not imagine she did this out of love for men in gen eral or any one man in particular, but this especial button is a sort of labor saving machine for herself, as men are not wont to sew on their buttons save when they have eschewed feminine so ciety and are that most detestable of things, an old bachelor. According to the article mentioned the records of feminine invention make a history of women's progress during the last one hundred years. % The first woman appearing among the list of patentees was Mai-y Keis, who in 18"09 invented a process of combining straw with silk, thus making a material suit able for the manufacture of women's hats. She was followed by Mary Brush, a few years later, who invented a cor set which would be now regarded as a j disfiguring sort of thing which no well groomed woman would wear. After this and from that time to the present day women have patented everything under the sun and many have made large fortunes. Most of these inventions are the result-of the necessi ties of the different kinds of labor in which women engage, and the signifi cance of the patent record lies in the development and extension of their work as time has passed At first the patents taken out by women were always of a domestic character and pertained to dressmak ing or utensils for kitchen work, but gradually the more recent ones have taken on a general character and one Is astonished to learn that women have been responsible for many scientific inventions and others which seem equally out of their line. These in ventors are not, as a rule, women of great ability or much education; but are in many instances hard working factory girls who saw ways of making their labor lighter and took out pat ents which netted them good sums. But the curious thing about these inven tions is that so many of them relate to guns, warships and tools which only | men use. A Swedish maiden invented I an aluminum solder, another woman a lock with 3,000 combinations, which shows a fair amount of ingenuity for a feminine mind, and a third a brake for vehicles. The most wonderful inven tions of machinery are recorded to the credit of women beside the many pat ents taken out for articles pertaining to domestic labor, which it is not sur prising should emanate from woman's mind. All this shows how women have grown and spread out in every direc tion within the last hundred years and how, if necessary, the world could get on very well without men at all. One seldom thinks of inventing anything save when reading of the wonderful things that have made such a differ ence in work, and it appears easy when you ponder upon the simplicity of some of the patents. But just try it and see. Some women ought to be able, with the assistance of the great wireless tele graph instruments, to patent some thing which put into a man's pocket will account for each hour of his time and w Thich can be scanned by his spouse when he returns. Then, too, a mother ought to invent a device which would give Billy or Johnny an awful pinch whenever he uses a bad word. Also let some woman go to work at once to think out a plan by which women's hair will curl naturally and which will keep their hats on straight. Nothing so far invented keeps a wom an's hat on straight. There is still a great field for the brains and ingenuity of the fair sex. Mainly About People A notable social event of yesterday was the marriage of Miss Minnie Vir ginia Timberla^e, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William S. Timberlake, of Arundel street, to Mr. George Hyde Preston, of Seattle, at 4 o clock in the afternoon at the church o£ St. John the Evangelist, solemnized by Rev. Theodore Sedgwkk. The Misses Julia Stephenson and Emma Timberlake were the bridesmaids, while two little girls, Katherine Dwinnell and Evelyn Finch, also attended the bride. Miss Timberlake was attired in white satin and point lace and wore a veil of old point handed down In the family. The maids wor? white chiffon gowns and large picture hats of white. Mr. Wil liam Timberlake, brother of the bride, was the best man. and ushers were Mr. M. J. Boyle. Mr. Sherman Finch, Mf. Theodore Griggs. Mr. Williaia Stephen son. Mr. Myron Learned, of Omaha, and Mr. Samuel Hill, of Washington, D. C. Before an:l during the ceremony the vested choir sang, with solos by Miss Gordon and Mr. Phillips. Mr. Fair dough was at the organ. A snVill re ception for the bridal party and inti mate friends took place immediately after the ceremony at the bride's horn?, following which Mr. and .Mrs. Preston THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. TUESDAY, OCTOBEE 20, 1904 FASHIONS FROM VOGUE Prepared Specially for THE GLOBE Not only are tight fitting coats made with seamless backs and invisibly fit ted fronts in vogue this season, but it is predicted that before many months" elapse the old time tight fitted, darted coat will be once more in demand. Al ready one or two such coats have been seen, but only, of course, on strictly plain tailor-made costumes that were absolutely untrimmed, both as to skk't and coat. That there is no more be coming costume in the world to woman with a perfect figure all will admit; the great trouble with the style, however, is that there are so ie** such womgn in existence, and paddings* which may round out a figure charm ingly for a loose fitting gown, are gen erally very noticeable under a tight fitting frock. A suit, therefore, on the lines of the model illustrated is much left for the East and will reside in Se attle. A wedding took place Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Moore, Stewart avenue, and Soo st/eet, when their daughter Mar garet was married to Mr. John H. Cart, of Fort Snelling. The service was read by Father O'Connor in the presence of relatives and many friends. Miss Ag nes O'Neal was bridesmaid and Mr. James Moore best man.

ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS Every civilized nation of women has its distinctive way of putting on its hats and looks either dowdy or ridicu lous if it apes the other. English wom en often wear their hats larger in the crown than would be tolerated by an American, who wculd feel like a can dle with an extinguisher on top in one of the hats that sink down over the head. An English girl will pull all her hair tight out of her neck into a wad on the crown of her head, and then clap a sailor hat on top. Ten to one she will look charming, too. A French or American girl would look absurd in such a rig. French women are given to up one side and down the other effects, a style which suits them to a T. Americans as a rule use their hair more intelligeritly than the others, ■making it frame their faces so as to enhance tremendously the effect of their headgear. The girl who has a knack at dressing herself naturally in clines to the fashion that suits her | best. Each "gives, herself away" in some subtle fashion dimply by the way she puts her clothes on. There is some thing almost ridtcultous in the silhou ette of the American who deliberately aims at producing the Parisian ensem ble. Frenctunilliners and dressmakers understand the French complexion and figure, and cut their cloth accordingly. The American coloring and figure are different. Each national type achieves, the best results, as a rule, by sticking to its own. One of the.most beneficial results of the work of the Juvenile City league, organized last sum+ner by the Wom an's Municipal league, is that the boys have learned to play baseball without coming to blows. At first, it~is said, and evidently with the sanction of long habit, the close oX every game ushered in a regular fijjf fig-nt, but now the teams hai-e learned good discipline and good sportsmanship, so that they abide . unquestionably by the decisipns of the umpire. The defeated team takes its defeat quietly and the winning team its victory without banter. GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM Only New Yorkers who recall the winsomeness of Minnie Stevens can understand the wide interest in her woefully slow recovery manifested by everybody in English society, from the king down. She who, as the daughter of Manhattan's social queen, Mrs. Paran Stevens, smiled her way into the hearts of this city's fashionables now is the idol of the British, metropolis as Mrs. Arthur Paget. Gen. Paget, prais ed as he was by Gen. Methuen for his gallantry at the head of the Scots guards when he fought the Boers, with his son Bertie as one of his staff, never was as popular among his own coun trymen as is his fascinating wife. Mrs. Paget not only has reigned over Lon don society since her marriage to the dashing captain, as he then was, but she won equally vivid laurels in Paris, where she was hailed as the most widely admired American In the gay capital. Now that she lies, broken and suffering, in her Belgrave square man sion a> stream of inquiries as to her condition pours in from all parts of the United Kingdom. Edward himself wires daily from Scotland, besides writing several times a week. Sir Frederick Treves, England's greatest surgeon, told the king that in twenty five years of hospital work he never had seen any one so terribly "smashed" —that was the word he used —as was Mrs. Paget by her sixty-foot fall in the elevator shaft of her home early in Augijst. The patient is unable to sleep without narcotics and suffers fearfully, yet keeps up a ftow of good spirits and smiles brightly as ever. Sir Frederick says she cannot reasonably hope to leave her room in less than four months. Already five operations have been performed and more may be nec essary. Her husband is with the king in Balmoral. Few of the many friends of Miss Helen Phipps, who next month will be come Mrs. Bradley Martin, are aware the young woman is a born jewelar, and that her taste in bijouterie equals that of most of the "world's best gold smiths. Yet fact it is that Miss Phipps, who is in Paris, buying the remainder of her trousseau, designed not only most of the jewelry she now wears, bur supplied the patterns for setting the rare gems to her by her relatives in honor of the coining event. Perhaps the handsomest design for the wedding jewels is that drawn by the brMe-elect for the gorgeous diamond tiara lately sent to her.

The betrothed couple will not meet again until a fortnight, or so be fore the wedding, and the young man will be fortunate if his fiancee finds any time to bestow on him amid the bustle of preparation. Being a philo sophical youth, he is looking happy and buying new jewels every day or so. Miss Phipps has made no protest against supplying the designs. There is no question Sir William Ramsey is popular with every woman school teacher in Brooklyn, and as soon as his views become known he will be looked on with similar favor by every skirted educator in Manhattan and the Bronx. The ideas he advanced in the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences on last Tuesday night appealed partic ularly to the most sensitive »of all the ganglia in the human anatomy—the pocket nerve. He. is of the opinion that the salaries paid to teachers and professors in this country are not at all commensurate with the service. That was his chief criticism of the educational system so far as he had investigated it in the United States. It is unfortunate, perhaps, that Sir William did not delve a little more deeply into the political pool which has engulfed the educational system in the territory where he made his address. A careful inquiry would have revealed to him not a system of meager com pensation but a most abominable sys tem of increase of compensation in every grade by what some persons call "innocence." Miss Alice Roosevelt has taken to wearing nasturtium yellow, which promises to be one of the most fashion able shades for the autumn. She cer tainly looked autumnal yesterday in her russet brown gown of smooth fin ished cloth, trimmed with velvet of the same shade, and a hat of long-haired beaver, trimmed with wings in various shades of yellow. She passed through town on her way to visit relatives in FarmingtonfConn'. She will make sev eral country house visits this fall be fore she returns to Washington.
