It would sown ns though the euro of a
string o penrls was a very slmpTo matter !
nnd yet how often It la that wo hear the
possessors of these precious gems bewailing
eomo mlsfortuno that has happened tc
them ,
"Naturally , I waa three-quarters of ar
hour late to dinner the other evening , " one
woman anld , "my string of pearls broke Jusl
as I waa clasping It around my neck. "
"The being late Is Immaterial , but did
you nnd them all ? " she waa assured and
questioned.
"No , " the grieved speaker continued ,
"thcro wore seventy-thrco on my string and
llvo of them have ( slipped away ; I feai
never to bo recovered , ns every crovlco nod
spot In the room hna apparently boon
searched Into. Perhaps I have been a little
careless about having thorn restrung oftcr
enough , "
As a fact , pearls should bo unfailingly re-
strung every three months or they cannot
bo worn with any amount of security. The

tooavy ellkcn cord that la generally' used
with which to string them , appears to bo the
only thing that will glvo them too suppleness -
ness which adds BO much to their charm ;
and It Is only when this cord Is new that
'it Is equal to the not Inconsiderable weight
of the poarls. As soon as , In places , It
'begins ' to fray , It Is only a question of time
before ono of these weak epots will break
and let fall a shower of the precious stones.
Slnco the very strong strings have been
worn this accident has not been an unfro-
quont occurrence In ballrooms , and lost
winter a tremendous commotion "was caused
In the hallway of the Now York opera
house , simply by the breaking of ono of
thc 9 silken cords.
As a precaution and to keep them from
swinging , many women when dancing
fasten their pearls to the front of their
bodices with a brooch , or If the string is
long enough they wind them about their
wrists. It Is a moat reckless habit to
nervously twirl them about the fingers and
to make a plaything of them , for it must
necessarily hasten the fraying of the cord.
The coet of having a string of perhaps
flfty pearl's reetrung at a reliable house
is about 75 cento or $1 , and surely consid
ering the comfort it brings the money is
well expended.
WIFE OF OOM PAUL.
lltmlmiid Worth 923,000,0001 She noes
the Cooking ; mill Mule en the lleiln.
Mrs. Kruger , wife of the president of the
Transvaal republic , IB unhandsome , reports
the Philadelphia Press.
She la also economical , though her fa
mous husband has A capital of $25,000,000.
She Is BO rich that it would take tbo
greatest effort to upend their Income , In
vested , aa tha capital is , In great paying in
terests. To do tills eho would have to live
In almost barbaric splendor , but , 'bless ' you ,
Eho oven docs her own cooking.
It Is iprobable that her acute , subtlehus -
tmnd approves of her style of living.
If ho objects no ono returning from that
( ar land has over heard of it. It is more
than probable that by Just such thrifty
methods 'Mr. Kruger himself rose into his
present eminence.
Dut think of 111
The Income of $25,000,000 and to do one's
own cooking !
To ifusa and furao and fret and stew over
a boiling steve In a hot , hot land rather
than spend the money on a maldt And not
only to cook , for It Is whispered and loudly
in tourist nnd English circles in Africa
that she very often takes a hand in ( he
washing and that aha scrubs and rolls the
clothes with the skill and strength of the
best of them.
She also Insists upon making her own
beds. This may bo 'because ' "tho Kruger"
nosds an untroubled pillow , a sheet without
n wrinkle , to cose him from the arduous
duties of scheming to make empires and
millions , but If eho doca the rest of the bard
work It is probable she makes the bed also
to save the penny or whatever the tnoney
is in that land.
When her husband has state guests to
dinner this Is , Indeed , the time the good
woman shines ; here she shows tbo' stuff of

Not at the foot or the head of the table ,
but in passing the dishes. To no butler
will she ever trust so great a responsibility.
Thcro might .bo a slip , a mishap , that she
oould not guard against. So , shining and
splendid , with large , white apron over her
capacious form , she waits on each guest.
" " "no hostess can
"Suroly , she argues ,
take care of a guest better than this. "
Every plato Is then heaped to perfection ,
each glasa kept filled to the brim , no slight
est wish from any one goes unnoticed.
If any ono Is rash enough to extol to
"Auntlo" Kruger , as evcryono calla her , the
glories of her wealth and the Immense
amount of monthly pocket money she has to
control she will tell that person a secret ,
ono of which she Is proud , ono In which eho

It la this : That she nncl the president
have never lived beyond their "cofleo

And that amounts to $2,000 a year allowed

PLUCKY AMERICAN ARTIST.
Secured In France Privileges Denied
to Native "Women.
Mrs. iHutchlneon la a young American
artist who , having studied ana worked In
her natlvo land for ten years , went to Paris
to find out what rank her work would take
when brought into competition with that
done in the great art center of the world.
She first worked In the Jullon studios for
five months , relates Harper's Bazar , but her
great desire was to copy In the national
factory at Sevres. To her dismay she 'found
It was an unheard-of thing for oven French
people to bo accorded such a privilege. Her
work had been Been , however , by a man
who at once recognized her ability , and he
made n few suggestions whereby he thought
she might attain herwlsh. _ Following this
friendly advice she finally received the de
sired permission , but with the understanding
that she should work in some out-of-tho-way
corner where the fact would not become
known to a curious public She was thus
Installed in the ofllce of the conservator of
the museum , himself an artist , whose many
hints and criticisms proved invaluable to
her. In the flrst few weeks he often asked
her why she washed out her work so often ,
why she did not let pass the slight difference
between it and her model It would never be
noticed ; to which ehe always replied that as
she had gained admission to copy , hers must
bo facsimiles. Seeing that as she was not to
bo discouraged and was undaunted by hard
work , this gentleman began to take an Inter
est In her and as a peculiar mark of approba
tion she -was presented with half a dozen
pieces of undecorated Sevres porcelain ,
which she had the pleasure and advantage
of decorating there , nnd which she now
treasures as ( her most valuable possessions.
So far Mrs. Hutchinson is the only artist
In this country to decorate little .bite of
enamel to too used for pins and rings ; such
work has to be done with the aid of a mag
nifying glass and , when flnUhed , very much
resembles the delicate white figures of the
cameo. The firing of some of this delicate
work has led to her making the acquaint
ance of an old Frenchman , who la the best
onamoler In this country , having a knowl
edge of peculiar tinting which renders him.
an autocrat in Ills line. Ho has always re
fused to teach any ono ; no apprentice , no
matter how largo a sum ho offered , could
ever secure a foothold in that workshop.
While Mrs. Hutchinson would , ho waiting
for Eomo of her work to bo fired she kept
her eyes open , with the result that one day
she asked the old fellow to let her help him.
Ho refused point blank , but she tactfully
Insisted , until ho finally allowed her to try ,
beginning to glvo her Instructions , etc. She
out him ehort by asking if ho thought she
had spent BO many hours1 there without
learning some of his secrets. The outcome
of It all Is that this skillful artist has been
at work In a shop where the thermometer
stands at from. 100 to 110 degrees all through
the summer , and having gnlnedi the old
man's respect toy her quickness and perse
verance , Is now able to enamel the finest
watch or other Jewelry in a way known hero
only by her master.
But the most amazing result Is that she ,
an American artUt , educated In America
and living la America , should be asked to
work for ono otC the leading china factories
of Franco. She waa first asked to do a figure
piece suitable for plato decoration ; this was
submitted , wjth her name at ono side of the
plate , and now thla pattern has been dupli
cated to cell at $25 apiece. Since then other
orders have como to her and now she Is en
gaged upon six border patterns , which are
to be ready for delivery in time for the
coming holiday trade.
WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
AVIiln Itanire of Uxeful Patents Sccareil
liy Them.
Up to ton years ago women had contrib
uted but slightly to the sum total of inven
tions recorded at Washington. A woman's
name did not appear in the 11st of patents
granted moro than three or four times a
year. Today there la scarcely a page of the
oniclol list of patents which docs not record
some woman's success In this line of effort.
In addition to tliose on record , nays the Now
York Post , there ere each year an increasing
number of successful women Inventors whose
Inventions are not patented in their own
names , but bought outright by manufactur
ing and business firms , who themselves secure -
cure the patent. Now toys , games , puzzles ,
articles classified as novelties , medical appli
ances and dross and household facilities are
eomo of the popular Inventions bought up
by buslnees firms , the Inventors being glad
to dispose ol their rights for a fair sum.
It sometimes happens that a woman em
ploye of a manufacturing or mercantile house
Invents some Improvements on the machinery
and methods In use by the firm. She shows
the model or drawing to the manager , who
makes the firm acquainted with Its merits ,
end tbej- arrange with the inventor for the
exclusive use of the Improvement , The In
ventor goes on quietly with her every-day
work in the bill , and the public never hears
of her achievement ; but , encouraged by that
success , she continues her experiments and
keeps on the lookout for further Invention.
A woman clerk in a New York store In
vented lately a parcel-delivery system , which
netted her substantial returns. One Now
England mill owner , herself an Inventor , enJoys -
Joys the night to several patents that repre
sent the Ingenuity of the women operators
In her employ , She chares profits with the
Inventors , and one of the devices , flrst used
In this mill , brings In over 120,000 a year ,
Men acquainted with the field say that
fully 100 of the patents token out by women
within the lost flvo years are yielding un
usually largo returns to the inventors , and
that others not yet put on the market are
destined to bo equally successful , A law of
contrariety seems to govern the chancco In
the matter notwithstanding , for while many
of the tent patents those that chow real
gcnlua and knowledge In the Inventor bring
In only email returns , others , seemingly
trivial , make the Inventor rich. The woman
who Invented satchel-bottomed paper bags ,
-for Instance , was offered $20,000 for the pat
ent before she left Washington. A simple
glove buttoner Is yielding the woman In
ventor $5,000 a year. A patented adjustable
waist supporter has made the inventor Inde
pendent. A dovJco for opening letters has
proved exceedingly proBtable , and the young
woman from Georgia who Invented a con
venient traveling .bag lias mode money
enough to set herself up In business.
The northwest , the onldiJlo and eastern
statca have produced the most active women
InventM-s. The south is ibehlnd In this re
gard , although the ifov women from that
section who have unado Inventions have been
successful. Their Inventions are usually In
very practical lines. An Alabama woman
farmer has invented Into Important aids to
agriculture. A North Carolina working
woman has had success with a culinary In
vention , nnd a Florida woman has patented
n useful caHhcaUng appurtenance , while a
Texas woman has patented a novel folding
tent , nnd another southern woman a finger-
exorcising device of value to musicians. A
unlquo .method of desulphurizing ores Is the
Invention of a California woman , nnd an
other western woman has ipatentod several
Inventions relating to Irrigation.
It Is noticeable that the women Inventors
registered from the larger cities of the
country thavo almost invariably patented
articles pertaining to the elegancies of
dross and household furnishing , while in-
ventlvo fatuity in the country districts- and
villages has been directed to conveniences
nnd labor-saving devices In similar lines.
Wcimon frcim the big cities have invented
unlquo dress-drafting patterns , novel ways
for adjusting portieres and curtains and pat
ents relatlnig to the various fields of art
and the manufacture of artistic goods. City
women have also devised and secured pat
ents on numerous articles for clerical use ,
safety envelopes , Improved typewriting ap
pliances , copy'holdtars ' , etc. , as well ns con
veniences for the artist and musician.
A number of 'women scshool teachers are
successful Inventors and have patented
irnoro or less valuable educational methods
and devices ; also kindergarten devices and
articles of school room furniture , desks ,
book rests , blackboard ) erasers , school bags ,
etc. . Women from the small towns In Wls-

cousin , Minnesota , Dakota and Illinois have
been prolific In dnventiono relating to the
"household " arts , .washing and cleaning appa-
ratua , facilities ifor eanltatlon , garment
bindings , protectors , ehldda , waist/bands / ,
supporters , fastenings , etc. They have In
vented butterworkers , plumbing appliances ,
dlsfh-washonB , brushes for cleaning uphol
stery , and ccimpceltlons for kindling fires
and scores of articles calculated' ' to lighten
the burden of the housekeeper In kitchen
and pantry. Now England women have In
vented many conveniences lor factory use ,
and a number of practical attachments and
Improvements that have to do with har
nesses and vcW'cles ' and the various needs

AI1IS WOMKX TO WI5AH WIGS ?
Fuiklon'n Latest Decree from Purls
ClllINCUl l - IIlllllllCHN.
It Is with pain and dismay that wo learn
from an alleged scientific comment on the
caurso of tine fashions that wo are approach
ing an era of feminine wigs , exclaims the
Pittaburg Dispatch. The assertion la backed
by a report oj > wigs worn by the smart
women df Paris , but the explanation of the
coming misfortune to the line of coiffures
oredlta It to n , moro obvious relation or
cause and cffoct than can bo generally dis
covered in feminine ( fashions.
The explanation la briefly that In the past
fashion's crJmpIng-lrona and curling-tongs
/produce / wavy and romantic locks dam
aged the vitality of the ( hair. Then the
pompadour roll strained it back until
nature proceeded to revenge herself by pro
ducing nice little bare spota on the heads of
fashionable women. After which , when
the coming fashionable effect requires more
hair than the fomlnlno head' ' Is able to fur
nish , recourse must be had to the. hair of
commerce 'to supply the lack.
If fashion calls for wigs , wigs will bo
worn , We can sot ithat down aa settled by
the testimony of the centuries ns to foml-
nlno fidelity to the fashions. Nevertheless ,
wo would urge upon the 'better ' half at
society to take this eolentino faohlonable
prediction in the light of a warning rather
than a chart. Dear women , preserve your
hair. If you must wear wigs , you \ > m
atlll be the mistress of masculine affections

A book calculated to be of interest to all
sorts and conditions of Americans , says the
Boston Globe , will be the Ufa story of Kate
Held , told by her most Intimate friend and
correspondent , Lilian Whiting , and which
will probably appear next month.
Miss Whiting Is qualified for her work , on
account of her affection for the subject of
her etory.
In connection with this long and tender
friendship Miss Whiting recently said :
"Even as a child my Imagination was
captivated by the piquant style of Kate
Field's Journalistic letters from abroad , and
so nil through my early girlhood I thought
of her In fact , she dominated my llfo moro
than any other one Influence.
"My flrst meeting with her was really a
sort of experimental Interview , upon my
entrance Into Journalistic work , In 1SSO. I
remember well how frightened I was upon
approaching the house where she was at
that time a guest , on Deacon street , over
looking the Charles river.
"But here klndntaa and charm put me
quite at my ease and hcn I left she kissed
me goodby at the door and asked mo to como
and eo her when she was again in Boston.
Soon afterward , I don't know how , our cor
respondence began , and It wan almost a daily
ono until hbr departure for Honolulu , when
It was Interrupted by Infrequent malls ,
"Had I known , during all these years , thnl
I was to ono day wrlto her biography , I
could hardly have prepared more fully for
the work than I was thus unconsciously led
to do , "
The title ot the book \U1I bo elmply :

THE HIGH VELVET CROWN.
IS.500,000 Immigrants registered in the vari
ous ports of the country , and of these , tak
ing the average through the whole course
of years , 60 per cent wore men and 40 per
cent women , a disparity representing a total
difference of nearly 3,700,000.
It has frequently been pointed out as a
matter of Interest and Importance , says tire
New York Sun , that the proportion of male
Immigrants Is highest whore such Immigra
tion Is least desirable , particularly in the
ease of Chinese and Sicilians , whllo It Is
lowest among the Germans and Irish. The
reasons assigned for rtJhls disparity have been
many. Among them have been the perils and
Inconvenlencea of a residence on the frontier
before the complete settlement of
the country , emigration from con
tinental countries to escape conscrip
tion In European armies , the danger
and discomfort of ocean travel before -
fore the establishment at fast and commo
dious steamers , and the natural reluctance
of women to seek homes In new lands. It has
popularly been supoposed , however , that as
these reasons for the excess of male Immi
gration either disappeared or were dimin
ished the total of the two sexes would be
moro nearly even , a conclusion which the
tables Just published by the Immigration
bureau in Washington for the year ending
March 1 , 1899 , coimplotely overthrow.
During Iho year the actual number of im
migrants coming Into the United States
was 310,000 , an Increase of 80,000 compared
w 1th a year ago. According to the ordinary
division between male and female immi
grants there should ) have been 180,000 of the
former and 124,000 of the later. Instead ot
this there were 193,277 male immigrants , or
moro than 60 per cent , nnd 117,438 female
Immigrants , less than 40 per cent. From
England there were 6,700 male and 4,000 fe
male Immigrants , about the average ratio ;
from Germany 14,700 male and 11,800 female
Immigrants , lees than the average number ;
fem Scandinavia there were 12,747 male and
10,502 female immigrants , nnd from Finland ,
a country from 'which there has been re
cently extensive emigration to the United
States In consequence ot the serious conflicts
between the Russian govern/ment / and the
Flnna , 3,900 males and 2,100 female Imml-
® ranta camo. From two countries female
immigration to the United States preponder
ates , Ireland nnd Befcoinla. Thcro were last
year 13,700 male and 18,600 foaialo immi
grants from Ireland , and froim Bohemia the
number of male and female torn 1 gran Is was
almost Identical , 1,262 of the former and
1,204 of thelabter. .
The long-disputed question among Immi
grant officials as to the designation to be
given to Polish Hebrew Immigrants , whether
they should bo described as Polish or under
the head of German , Russian or Austrian
Immigrants , as the case might be , ihaa been
settled by the adoption of a generic term
for all such Immigrants , the word Hebrew.
There .were 21,000 male and 16,000 female
Hebrew Immigrants lost year. From Rus
sian Poland there were in addition 18,000
mala and 10,000 female immigrants , whifo
from Italy , now the chief contributing coun
try to the flow of Immigration Into the
United States , there were 52,000 male and
23,000 female Immigrants. Italian Immigra
tion Is very largely responsible for the dis
parity of the sexes In the matter of Immi
gration. Twice as many male Syrians as
female Syrians came over last year and flvo
times as many male Slavonians. There
were 2,200 male Greeks and only 132 female ,
but the record of all other countries Is dis
tanced by China , 1,67 mate Immigrants and
11 female Immigrants only.
Cuban immigration to the United States
last year was 1,400 , including 1,100 male and
300 female Immigrants. From Hawaii there
were tnoro women than male immigrants ,
though the num'ber ' of either was not largo ,
and from Japan there came 3,175 male Im
migrants and 275 femalo.

of fur on cloth tailor costumes , while some
of the most famous Paris milliners are
trimming fine French felt hats with the
richest of lace , both black and white.
There is a decided return this season to
the use of the delightfully soft and clinging
camel's-halr fabrics which have Ijeen dis
placed by the heavier faced cloths. The
new goods at the Importing houses are very
delicate and fleecy ; some of ithe expensive
qualities rare double-faced , but all are ex
ceedingly warm-looking , yet light and com
fortable to wear ,
The tendency most evident In nil that
fashion offers Is etlll toward the svclt nnd
clinging effects of the last season , with ,
however , simpler outlines , loss of elaborate
decoration and a natural reaction In the
matter of cutting up yards and yards of
expensive matoilal Into frills nnd furbelows ,
The deft Intermingling of brilliant colors so
widely popular this season IB seen to great
advantage among the largo Russian plaids.
Some have wide bars In rich autumn leaf
melanges on very dark grounds , while
others have medium wide stripes in rather
light shades , framed with narrow lines on
green , gold , blue , ollvo , ruby , etc.
