THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , NOVEMBER 12 , 1903-SIXTEEN PAGES , 11 fclllD TRAPS FOR BEAUTY The Fa&ioaable Teminina Hat a Premium on Cruelty. SLAUGHTER OF BISDS FOR HEADGEAR I .n Omaha Indication Mfctlne nnd the HeiolT Thereat Olrli at Oollece Mention of the Mode * Talk About the Women. xvoro three of them nnd they Trcrc coming down in the elevator at the 'Continental block , and from their re- tnnrKs had evidently boon attending a dootinjr of the Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animal' . One of them was a little woman with bright brown Jtves , dres ed in a b-own dr < ? of the new warm shade which is ff > fashionable 'thU ' fall nnd EO becoming to women with brown ejcs. She anpcared to bo a Httlo bit excited , aa a woman is apt to bo who Is not accustomed to speaking in public and sits still while matters are being discussed In which she has deep in terest. "I think it is the Height of hypocrisy or inconsistency for women to meet and talk and reso'luto about preventing cruelty to animals , with their hats on their "heads covered with little dead bird * , pretty little creatures that never did any harm in the world , nnd wo maybe bo sure God never created them for any such purpose. There was ouo woman there today Bitting next to mo with no less than three of the sweetest little humming birds on her hat , green and gold , "little fragments of a rainbow , " as Audobon calls them. Of course some heartless man or boy was compelled to kill them , and enjoyed the sport , too , more than likely , just BO a woman who could afford it could deck herself in them and at tend a humane sccicty. I think it is a "Well , you arc rather vehement. " said the nice old woman with the Paisley bawl. "Don't you remember some years ape there was a cry raised against Voraen wearing dead birds , and a reform as instituted so that for a lonjr time it was not considered Rood form for a lady to wear anything more than the plumage of a bird. This winter it seems that is all forgotten , as I never in all the winters of my life eaw so manv birds'as are displayed in the show windows and on women's hats. I met a young lady the other day with a whole blackbird on a whi'o hat. Of course it looked beautiful , noonecould deny that , bat when she gets to be as old as I am he will know that looking beautiful is only one of a young lady's privileges and when she is obliged to practice cruelty in order to be in style , then is a good time to stop to consider. " "It's rather funny , isn't it , " eaid the quiet woman in the black suit , "that neither of wo women have a bird on. I wonder if it just happened so , is it a matter of principle or is it because wo can't afford birds. One might sup pose we wore envious. " "You know very well you have olten heard me say that nothing could tempt use to ever wear a dead bird on my hat , " said the woman in brown. "Asforafford- ing ing it , there are birds and birds and envone can afford some variety. I can think of nothing that is so utterly with out excuse. Plumage and manufactured trimmings look well enough nnd no boy la taught to bo heartless and to inflict iiiflering on innocent creatures. " "I think,1' said the woman in black , "that most ladies have not had their attention called to the matter and do not realize what it means when they ask the price of a gorgeous bit of feathered praco in a millinery window and the salesman says : 'That bird is one we im ported ourselves. They are only found In South America , where orchids nour ish you know , and are very rare. The mother bird only lays one egg in a sea- ion , and if only a few ure captured we must wait eove'ral yeaw bztoro enough can be found to make it pay to hunt them. They are captured by the na tives and sell for 50 apiece. They are South American humrnins birds. ' I asked a dealer last week if he sold many birds , natives of the United States , and ho told me that ho sold a good many , but moat of the birds came from the tropic ? , where the plumage is so much brighter. That is cno reason why no more attention is paid to the slaughter. It is EO far off. Women never realize iuffering in another country like they do what they can see with their own eyes. " "I think , " remarked the elderly woman , "that if we a k our friends to pledge themselves to never wear a dead bird on their hats wo can stop the de mand to some extent , and 1 am in favor of trving , anyhow , and see what can bo done That is the idea that was ad vanced in the society to which 1 be longed about ten years ago in the cast. Our aim was to make thorn unfashiona ble. For , say what you will , if a thing is stylish a woman will have it if she can. Wo could not bring it up in the mooting very-well , for It would bo ox- ccsslvo bad taste to call attention to the members present who happened to have birds on their hats , and so what wo do must be outside in a quiet way nnd by trying to frown the style out of exist ence , but it is late and I must bo getting home. Goodby. " Little things are good things in which to reform. If all thought women would take a linn stand against the teeming cruelty displayed in the loading of hats with dead birds and would never let foreign artistes who set the styles , and who are always men , prevail on thorn to lay asHo their principles , it would be impossible for birds to bo told , and if it Is known mat they will not bo sold there will bo a very easy solution of a ques tion which lies wholly in woman's do main and for which she alone l respon sible. If you are a member of the hu mane society bo consistent. When you arrive at college a trem bling froehman , unknowing and un known , the first girl who is pointed out to you is the popular girl. Beauty counts for milling among your follow indent * , says a writer in Harper's Uazar , and money or high scholarship likewise avails nothing , but one who has the honor of being called a popular t'irl posscaaes a ho.t of friends and ad tnirers. "She Is the most popular girl in her class , " eayh your friend , pointing out a girl with , perhaps , red hair , freckles , and a snub no e. You gaze at her plainness of countenance , and wonder vrhoroin lie lief attractions. But when once you have mot her , you count your- wit among her udorers forthwith. It is only , perhaps , that she has said some kind little word to you that molts your homesick heart. I3ut a-k I ml little word from an upper clasd h'lrl goes a long way tri h a homesick freshman. You are flattered by her condescension , and tbo sest time you moot her you are troubled let the popular girl , with her hosts of friends , bos forgotten an insignificant being like youn > lf. But she bens inot graciously , for she never forgets , does toe popular girl. Moreover , she a topi you , aa you are hurrying timidly by , and Inquire * kindly about your welfare at college nnd says she will oallipin I you soon. Then you ao immediately elevated to the pinnacle > f bliss nnd you i go on your way a Joring rmre than over. ' When you try to arrive , finally , at a , conclusion a * to the charm of the popu lar girl , you are not nt a loss t discover It. It lies in her complete forgolf nines * of self. She is utterly unselfish , nnd she shows it by being as nice to the bash ful freshman aa to the dignified senior by being as kind to the plain , stupid girl as to the brilliant butterfly. In short , she never courts favor for herself or acts the part of a nob. Moreover , she is conscientious in her college work and never slights it. For love is founded on respect , n- $ every one knows , nnd no one can respect a dullard. Finally , she is alwavs ready to help a friend ln"n . ed or to join her in a gay , gu.d time. For " the popular girl is" extremely fond of fun. She h not a "prod , " which is short for prodigy , and means n classroom phe nomenon : mr Is she a "dig. " She Is. in fact , just what every pay , good natured girl may become , tf'she tries to forgot self and to love her neighbor. Thus you see , whoever you arc , you may if you will become the popular girl , and then you will sco that what I have paid is true. You will realize , or your friends will , that your selfishness has disappeared , that your vanity Is zero and that your angularities have been rubbed off by constant friction with other nnpuU. Sometimes this result is not accomplished until you are rcadv to leave college , nnd you gradua'e when you are just on the verge of bccDmmrr popular. This Is sad , nnd this is why I eaid in the first place that if you wish to enjoy college life you must resolve be fore you enter college that you will be the popular girl. * Mrs. Rorer , of cooking fame , has oeen tireless throughout the exposition just closed to demonstrate the resources of corntneal. rcry woman who has halted in the "Model Kitchen' ' has come away wondering that she has passed by all her life such a valuable foo.d product , limiting its use to ono or two dishes at long intervals. For winter consumption cornraeal is especially suited , as it is an appreciable heat producer , and this priestess of nmizo urges that at. least once a day through the cold season it should be oh the table in some form. It was undoubtedly new to many women that sweet wholesome loaf bread could bo made from cornraeal , as it was again and again , stress only being laid upon the careful following of directions for cooking the meal thoroughly first. Adirondack cornbread is as appetizing as its name implies , redolent as it is of pine forebts and fresh spicy airs. Mrs. Rorer's receipt for this is : Five eggs , ono pint milk , one-half pint cornmeal , one-half pint flour , two ounces butter , one tablesooonful salt , one of sugar , two teaspoonfuls baking powder. Beat the yolks thoroughly nnd ndd the milk : stir the meal and flour together and add to it gradually the eggs and milk , stirring " ring in the" butter , which must b3 softened. L t these ingredients thus mixed stand for ten minutes before ad ding the whites , thoroughly beaten. Last , add suit , sugar and baking pow der. Bake thirty minutes in long pans. When this bread is perfect , it is in layers of meal , custard and crust. From cornbread , corn mush and In dian puddings all of them hearty and wholesome the list of corn goc-dies goes on Into much lighter and daintier food : . Peach foam is a dessert built upon cornstarch - starch , so is a custard _ pudding : little cakes to serve with ice cream are more , and corn sponge cake is like its wheat flour namesake. To make this last , corn sponge cake , separate four eggs , beat the whites until very stiff , beat the yolks , mix the two together and beat again. Rub toacrpam a quarter of a pound of butter. Add gradually one-half pound of granulated sugar and beat until light ; then add the eg js and beat again. Mix two ounces of cofnstarch with one-quarter pound of wheat flour , add one teaspoonful baking powder and sift ; stir this into the cake. Add the grated rind of half a lemon ; bake in greased gem pans in a moderate oven , abaut fifteen minutes. * * There has been n new departure in augurated at Wcllesley college in the matter of athletics. Fairly this fall Mi = s L. E. Hill , who has charge of physical idea of introducing a number of out door games hitherto the almost exclu sive property of young men , and at the foot of the hill which is surmounted by the main hall of the college Miss Hill has laid out a small football field. An association football is used , and passing is the sole method of advancing the ball from one goal to the other. All violence is eliminated from the game , and it is very amusing to hear the "I bog your pardon" when two of the contestants jostle each other in their endeavors to catch the ball. The Wellesley girls are enthusiastic devotees to golf and football , as well as tennis and archery , and Homo of the girls show a speed in getting to first base that would make their brothers en vious. In all their games there is earn estness and enthusiasm , but , strange to say , no suggestion of rudeness nnd noth ing unwomanly. No one laughs at any discomfiture of a player , due , perhaps , to the encumbrances of dress , and acci dents are accepted as natural consequences quences not to bo noticed. Miss Hill is now endeavoring to have a level tract of land within the grounds set apart and fitted up for a permanent athletic tiold , which is indeed much needed , as the gymnasium at Wellc ley is altogether Inadequate for the 700 students in the in stitution. Miss Hill restricts this out door exorclso to those who have first had physical examinations , and no girl will bo allowed to participase in any game for which she has not strength. A tea-toning tablet is the latest in vention or discovery of amateur chem istry. In shape they nro like lozenges , are of light purple color , and are called "tanoccas. " One of these clapped into a not of tea , two if the pot is a largo one , effectually , it is alleged , destroys tha tannic acid nnd other harmful proper ties , and re-novos the grim specter of unwhole omeness which has latterly begun to haunt seriously this most com forting beverage. For the prorent "ta noccas" ara out of the reach of the New York public , as their concoction is a secret clo&ely guarded by threa ladies , residents ot an English province , but such a bootto lo raee cannot long be withheld whou its existence becomes widely known. Recently was recorded theconfesslon of a young woman to the o fleet that she invariably "crammed" conversationally for u dinner or an evening out. And now comes a Httlo story , just appeared in print , showing that she unconsciously followed an illustrious example , no ! & than that of Mme. Nccker , the famous mother of a still more famous daughter Mme. do Staol. It gee mi that a certain M. de Chastel- lard was invited by her to a dinner party , and ho , by some mistake , arrived at'the house too earlv und sat down In the salon to wait till the hostess ap peared. While waiting he wandered about the room and presently found behind - hind a cushion a Httlo book , which ho took up , supposing it to be a book ot extracts copied in. But , to his great he read a long resume of tha subjep'e upon which Mme Nccker in tended to talk that turning , and they were ac ually labeled "Talk with Mme So-and-So on such u thing , " every ex- pecied p'lest beins mentioned by namo. with the particular topics suitable to the tn tc and calibre of. each. M. de Chas- tollard's own name was. of course , on the list , nnd he had just time to see what tie might expect In the way of conversation nt dinner , when the mistress of the house come in and hn qulcKly put the book back whence he had taken it. I'nMilon XutPt. Jeweled Christmas cards are a London novelty. Many of the new costumes show the pointed apron overkirt. In millinery , toques for the moment occupy a prominent p-isition. The basque bodice has evidently come to stay all winter at least. Mixed silk and wool fabrics that are repped from selvage to selvage".are larpelv imported. For dress trimming ? . cloe horl fur b preferable to shaggy kinds such as bear , lynx , etc. F.ir.cy woven moose cloth comes up among'the handsome novelties in winter dress fabrics. Evening shndos in faille , armure silk and fancy satins are sold at less than half their former prices. Quite the fad of the moment is tha white elephant tea cosy , of white felt , with trappings of red. Dark rvs = et cloth skirts are worn be neath long , slightly draped overdresses of green or brown ladies * cloth. For divan cushions decidedly the new est embroidery is one huge flower , with out a vestige of foliage , worked just in the center of the square. Black and white two-toned felts in plateau shave arc in constant demand. These are tr.rnmed with ribbon loops , stiff wings , jot aigrettes and buckles. Violet velvet and cherry-red velvet toques are edged with and embroidered in jet on the crowns and rich satin ribbon loops with jet aigrettes are the garnitures. Pale and deep tan broadcloth dresses , with twoshadesof soutache as trimailng , are among the attractive tailor costumes exhibited for carriage wear. A very late fashion in teacloths is to represent sprays of flowers only on the bordering hem , instead of in the corners above the hem , or scattered all over the center. The walking suit of the moment is made of rough stuff , mixed serge or two- toned hopsacking. The coat is long , tight-fitting , double-breasted and full umbrella gored skirt. Some of the new goods that seem so heavy are so loosely woven that they are , in fact , very light , and the dresses made from them have much less weight than one might fancy. A deep lace basque on a evening dr ss is an elegant addition to it , and with blouse vest front and bretelles of the same lace , a graceful and very dsessy bodice is produced. Black silk skirts are always ladylike ; so , too , shepherd's check silk skirts will never quarrel with the gown : nnd in making a purchase this consideration should ever be born in mind. Sapphire blue , peacock blue and deli cate shades in silver and swallow bine are for this and the coming season either combined with black aoire or trimmed with jetted gimps , black silk pas = ementeries or black fox fur. A white silk blouse can be made to look ornamental by trimming it yoke fashion with black lace : a frill over the shoulder , a belt of black lace and bands of black lace insertion between the puffings on the sleeves , which end in deep ruffles. The cut of new walking coats and jackets has altered very decidedly , these being no longer half-tight , open ing over loose bodices , but fitting per fectly to the figure , showing it to the best advantage and likewise revealing the tailors' skill. Capes will again rival coats. They are always popular , as they are easily put on and off , and do not crush large sleeves. As broad an effect as possible is given , the collarette being- very full , but drooping , with usually a flat head- \nff nt nininfr AT * iAf The new reddish brown , like the old- fashioned cuir or leather color , appears among velvets and among costly India wool fabrics , nnd in cloth Is used by French and English tailors for Beau Brummel coats , and these made in bodice fashion with full-skirted circular basques and cape collars. Among novelties in color are some ex pensive velvets and satins richly shaded , and brocaded with small bouquets of flowers. Not only are there artistic shadings of one color , but' unique blend- ings of two or three are also produced , like the throat and breast plumage of various tropical birds. One of the things to be noticed among the new ideas is the tendency toward overckirts , which manifests itself in the arrangement of waved and Vandyked rows of trimming in double skirts of contrasting colors , and on the more dar ing models the old-fashioned overeklrt appears , unobtrusively , but none the less surely. The rage for bonnets on the prome nade seems to have abated. They ap pear at evening entertainments , recep tions and like dress gathering ? , but not as you take your walk abroad ; and the reason that many matrons give f < r adopting hats Is that they took them quite in the way that Hobson made his choice. They wanted a head- covering ; a bonnet of the appr > ved fash ion was merely a tiny headdress nnd no protection at all. A reseda-green cloth costume has a closely fitted round waist with circular skirt added that flares very much all around. Cloth bretelles go over the shoulders and form tabs front and back. "Oriental" galleon in serpentine shape edges the brotelles and crosses the front of the waist at the top in yoke shape. The falling empire puffs of the sleeves are slightly draped and trimmed at the wrists with rows of the galloon. _ The ex panding circular skirt with taffeta lining has five rows of the galleon as trimming. I'omlnlua Fet . 'Roman toilet paste" is merely white of egg , barley flour and honey , " A class for women has been formed in Hartford for the study of parliamentary procedure. On a French tombstone could it have been found on any other is the inscrip tion , "Sacred to the memory of Mile. ; died April 2. in her 8Ut year. She never looked her age. " Nothing can be found more effectual in removing brown spots from the skin than lemon juice. The most obstinate pases will generally fade away under tne lemon treatment , or a mixture of vine gar and water. A Chicago woman , Miss Kate Kane , is" going to run as an Independent candi date for the judgeshlp of tbo superior court. She has secured over 8,000 names to the petition she will file with the election commUElonura. At a Hallowe'en party the favors were gold horseshoe watch charms , and wish bones were placed on each napkin. They wore tied with different colors , so that those who "matched" * were- * bilged lo pull them together , .j _ i When it is desired to ? o carbolic acid | as a disinfectant it > should be mixed with billing water. THIVproraptly over comes the usual anlngVjntem between the aold and the water nHd' ' < converts them into a permanent sorutlon , which will keep for weeks. _ A recent craze in Parla has been for frames , dainty boxes , card cases , and the like , made of white or pale pink kid. painted with a sprinkling of flowers copied from old Dresden'.china. This Is a suggestion for using the upper parts of long white kid gloves' ' . For newspapers an $ iausc. ! to stand in the drawing room , , Hie sedan chairs , without the poles , cot mid in old bro cade and titled in pluh. ( These arc in tended t3 replace the Sfooden cabinets usually doing such duty , , as Inside they arc properly partitioned to servo their purpose. At the recent weildln ? In Paris of the American beauty , Mi = s Flora Uavls , with L-ird Terence Blackwocd , the going away of the newly married pair amid a perfect shower ot rice nnd satin slippers amazed the French guests present , who were not familiar with this A nglo-American custom. Tennis and golf booth ? were a novelty at a recent English bazaar. At the former the ladies wore white serge skirts , apple green silk blouses and sailor hats , with green bands. The golf girls wcrj equally effective in red jackets and shirts , with white skirts and fetching little caps. A cricket stall aUo gave an opportunity for some striking costumes. If n seal or otter fur coat looks soiled it s.iould bo placed on a large clean sheet nnd well rubbed with hot bran , This , it is * atd by the clpaners , can be more eaiilv brushed out of the fur after the process than hot wheat flour can which to many renovators of fur Use' Heat and friction together will bo found * to greatly improve the appearance of fur long in wear. A brain specialist said lately to a woman who came to him for consultation in a nervous disease : "It is astonishing the shame people display about their heads. The possibility of" insanity they will hide as if it were a crime. And yet , in ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred , insanity might be cured if it were taken hold of in time. " It is said that the practice of the wife assuming the husband's name at mar riage originated from a Hotnan custom and became the common custom after the Roman occupation. Thus Julia and Octavia , married to Pompey and Cicero , were called by the Romans Julia of Pompey atjd Octavia of Cicero , and in later times married women inmost Euro pean countries signed their names in the same manner , but omitted the ' 'of. " It is expensive , of course , to be "dressed" by Worth , but cost is a rela- live question , and if people want their gowns trjmmed with real lace , gold and jewels , they ought to ascertain before hand what the cost will be , unless they are in a position ot fortune which does not obliee them to con ider such sordid " details. A certain Peruvian heiress paid Worth 524.000 f6rn frock trimmed with real lace. 323,600 of which went for the lace and tno remaining J400 for the "solids ' of the garment. Speaking of Edwin Booth , a pretty girl savs : ' 'I did something once that I don't believe anybody else ever did. I made Booth laugh while he wa playing "Hamlet. " You know the way he had of fixing his eye upon gome one person in the audience and apparently acting to that person ? One bight I was the one. It made me nervous.JI could not stand it. So , in the soliloquoy , what do you suppose I did ? J made a monkey face at him. And ho laughed. He certainly laughed , " she ended triumphantly. A new notion in pincushions is to make them flat , the size and shape of a square envelope. The pins are inserted at the edge. They are made of two pieces of cardbjard covered with white silk and put together over a half inch stuffed bag of the same size. The ad dress of the person for whom they are intended is written out first on tracing paper , then transferred to the silk and outlined. A stamp is put on one corner it may be painted there if one is clever with a brush , or a genuine stamp affixed in the usual way. IS TE BEST.
