especially efllclcnt work In this direction
nro Mrs. Cuntlncu Wheeler, MrH. Flor
enco W. Cory nml MrH. Ellon Diinlap
Hopkins.
Nearly twenty years ago Mrs. Candaco
Wheeler organized a society of decora
tivo art which limy bo regnrded ns tho
well Bpring of co-ojicrativu work amonn;
women workers in tho United States.
Mrs. Wheeler was born nt Delhi, N. Y
and wits retnnrkablo front her earliest
years for her nrtistio temperament,
which was supplemented ns tiino went
on by n philanthropic spirit and execu
tive, abilities that nmst find somo out
ward expression.
Although reared in ensy circum
stances, married early to a prosperous
business man, Mrs. Wheeler saw in
many instances among her friends the
necessity of somo movemeut being made
which would enable gentlewomen less
fortniiitto than herself to turn their tal
ents and accomplishments to n practical
use. To further their interests and
plnco tho fruits of their labor before the
public sho formed n society that soon
had branches in every state, and it is t
her sympathy and entorpriso that ho
sisters of kindred tastes nro indebted for
tho women's exchanges and decorative
art societies that afford them either nn
entire source of livelihood or a means of
supplementing a limited income.
About a dozen years ngo, encouraged
by tho success that had attended tliu
initial movement for tho benefit of hot
ex, Mrs. Wheeler formed tho Society
of Associated Artists, an enterprise con
ducted on business principles, devoted
to interior decoration, tapestries em
broidered by a method of her own de
vising, designing of wall paper and tex
tiles, yet serving n doublo purpose in
making it tliu medium of feminine
workers whereby thoy could demon
strato their abilities to compete with
men iu the iield of technical design, and
afford them also an opportunity of cre
ating a school of art that should possess
national characteristics.
Many palatial homes of American plu
tocrats have been decorated by designs
of Mrs. Wheeler, carried out by her corps
of forty sister workers, the rich textiles
employed woven by American manufac
turers, which stamps her as being not
only of philanthropic but patriotic tend
encies. Mrs. Wheeler is on tho sunny
sido of fifty, sweet voiced, gontlo man
nered, with a personality combining
strength and sweetness in an unusual
degree.
In 1880 Florence W. Cory, who may
claim tho distinction of being the first
woman carpet designer iu tho world,
established her school of industrial art
that now numbers iu regular attendants
and correspondence pupils 000 member-..
Tliu sunny haired, bright faced little
woman has been known to manufactur
ers ns tliu pioneer feminine worker iu
tho capacity of a practical designer for
many years. Born in Syracuse and
renred in Oswego, sho married when
she was scarcely out of her teens a id
became a widow early in her twenties,
Tho necessity of either returning to the
parental roof or formulating homo pi, in
of work which would eventually make
her self supporting was a question which
coiifrontedhur, and it wasat this period,
when contemplating nn ugly carpel iu
tho lumso of a friend, bho received tho
inspiration that has evolved itself into a
life work, and she determined to boconio
a designer.
It was then spring, and the doom of
Cooper institute, whore sho expected
to tecuive tho necessary tuition, weio

closed until the autumn, but tho young
voinan plodded mi dining the interim
by herself, drawing designs, raveling
out bits of carpet, puzzling over tho in
tricacies of the weaving, tho number of
j threads involved, the repetition of the
colors ami various otln r teclinicalitn -
While Mrs. I'oty found she profiled in

i,. k--"i'rfca KtJ-jnBimiMirt
somo degreo by her studies at tbo
Cooper institute, sho also discovered
tho teachings woro not practical, r.nd
that designs worn of t tilling value to
tho manufact'.irer, who hud to turn
them ovor to an employee of his own ti
adapt them to the mathematical re
qnlroincnts of machinery.
Therefore to secure tuition and prnc'l
cal experience nt ouco she obtained a
situation iu n largo manufactory, a
later established her own school, where
sister workers are able to secure knowl
edge of her vocation shorn of the iliCl
ctilties which beset her as a plo.iei'i
worker in the Hold of technical de-u ..
Designs made by Mrs. Cory and her pr.
Jills liavo been sold to ninniifaetiiror.4 in
Ettrojio and Japan, nml her teach-,
cover carpet, matting, china, wall p tp
and textile designing, in nil of which
branches she has received diplomas ami
encomiums galore.
Young, beautiful, rich, talented ami
accomplished, Mrs. Kllen Dtinlap Hop
kins, iu the social realm over which '.
reigns a tpieeu, has always found ll ic
to devoto thought, energy and capital In
advancing Ilia interests of f.- nlui i

opportunities for her sex to seattic a
practical and technical education in
ilclds of labor iu which it had been de
monstrated to her they were well litied
to work.
This brilliant woman, hitherto oulv
known iu tho world of wealth ami la- i
Ion, has, despite her depteciation o the
distinction and approval that have justly
been accorded her, achieved now an in
teruntioual reputation, and tliu scho 1
which owes its auspicious opening
mainly to her tireless energy is regarded
with keen attention by all Interested iu
tho progress of women on both sides of
tliu Atlantic. Mrs, Hopkins is the
daughter of Oeorgo Duulap, tho million
aire grain operator of Chicago, ami con

Adams family of Massachusetts.

gether a body of preceptors composed of
well known American artists and the
designers of tho leading manufactories
of tho United States devoted to textiles,
wall paper, stained glass nml various
other industries, and her perseverance,
entorpriso and enthusiasm have been
warmly encouraged by prominent, firms.
Mrs. Hopkins is of the. Spanish typo of
beauty so raroly seen in this country,
star eyed ami raven haired, of Diana-
like dignity, height and proportions.
Sho has the graceful ease and poise that
betoken tho clover woman of travel, a
magnetic personality tint captivates

Must Women Tench .lien How to Vote
tliu Australian llallot?
With all tho intricacies of tho Aus
tralian ballot system we shall need
presently to have young Americans in
structed iu tho public schools how to
vote properly, anil tho ttyu-hers will bo
women. Graduates of Wellesley and
Vnssar can teach the average voter now.
At each of these schools the college girls
have studied carefully not only tho Aus
tralian ballot system, but also tho ques
tions of state that occupied political
parties during tho lH!l- campaign. Not
only that, but they actually voted iu
November, those Wellesley ami
Vns-
sar girls. At Wellesley tho election
took place in tho college chapel, not at
tho beer saloon on the corner. The
young ladies hud their inspectors in
charge of tho polls. Among them were
members of tho Democratic, Republican
nml Prohibition parties. At Vassuronlv
tho girls who hud registered could vote,
which they did at tho polling places in
the corridors under tho eyes of the in
spectors that had been sworn in,
I like to think of pretty and plucky
Lawyer Ella L. Knowles, whom tho
People's party has elected attorney gen
eral of Montana over men candidates iu
tho Republican uud Democratic parties.
Miss Knowles is a highly educated
young woman both iu literary and legal
lore. Shu fought so gallant a fight sin
gle handed in lb83 and 1880 for tho
loeogiiition of women lawyers that tho
tcrritotinl legislature of Montana passed
tho law permitting women to be admit
ted to tho bar. Miss Knowles herself
tvm the liist woman admitted n:.der tin
now law in IhOiV .She has alieady a go l
practice, uud now the People's ii.irtv has
elected her attorney general of the state.

from Ahmad I'luntielHlly Slinrl.
Now York women cannot vole, more'
the pity, but ll Is the solo leimiinlng pre
rogative that men have a cinch on. Wolu
en do and have everything elso that back
In tint Dark Ages vinn considered the ex
clusive privilege of tliu lords of creation.
Heru Is an instance:
Until recently men hail a monopoly of
mlsllt clothing. Not so now, for very late
ly a person whether uialu or futmilu does
not appear on tho otherwise explicit sign,
but manifestly a progressive person who
keeps up with tho procession has started
a ladles' mlsllt clothing store. This shop
Is situated, appioprlalely enough, In the
heart of the Tenderloin piccluct. livery
thing new or blarro Hints Its way Instinc
tively to tho Tenderloin district. In the
window Is an alluring blue and gold ball
dress, with slippers to match, and a gold
bouquet holder, which Is, as I be clerk tells
you, "not absolutely Indispensable for a
ball costume, but eonsldeied tasty and
stylish."
The clerk Is a small girl with a persua
slvu smile anil a cold In Iter head. She has
the useful knack of adaptability, for when
I declined to examine the ball dress she
called my attention ton mink muff and
boa quite good uatltredly, and declared
that they u on Id make me look very Jaunty.
All around the walls ate hung iliesses of
every kind and description, while piled on
the counters are Jackets, ttlsteis mid that
species of meal bag known as "wrap."
Hut these goods are secondhand, and
can bu bought at any good sieouilhand
shop, It Is necessary to carry such a Hue
of goods, since I heru Is a demand for
them, but this Is merely aside Issue. If
you scorn to wear the castolf garments of
your fellow women and desire something
new you can pass behind the port lei ch
which dlvldu tho outer shop from tliu inner
one and repose joursclt on a plush sola
while tliu clerk spieads beforu J on gar
ments of eveiy variety, all now and In the
latest style.
"How Is It ymi get these drosses?" I nsk
the clerk. "I thought a woman would
undergo any amount of standing and fit
ting to get a dress right at last."
"So they will," she replies, "wo do not
get dlesses because the people who throw
them back on llio diesstuakei's bands are
not pleased with Ibeset of tbodress. It
Is because the) cannot pa) for them. You
see, a woman goes to tlio diessmaker and
orders a dless quite an expensive one.
Sho furnishes nothing whatever. Tliu
dressiuaUei-furnishes ever) thing anil takes
the ilsk of hcrpaylng for It. In some places
it Is t ustomnry to make a deposit, but not
everywhere. Well, tho diess Is llnislied.
.Milady lluds that sho has not as much
money as she had the day hIio otdereil the
gown, and so she can't pay for it. hlie
throws It back on the modiste's hands, for
feiting the deposit, if there has been one.
Well, tliu diessmaker has to do the best
she can. Iu older to ptevenl tho gown bu
ing a dead loss sho sells it tons. And here
It Is, Just as good as if you had ordered It
)ourself, and milch cheaper.
"Then theru Is another way In which wu
get dresses. Lots of women liny n (iiau
thy of clothes abroad, a gi eat many at a
time, because they get them cheap. The
find when they get back that tlieydout
want some of them, or they area litth
hard up after the expenses of traellng,
and they sell tbcm to us."
"Do you buy many things from nu
tressi-s)'"
"Oh, no, indeed, haidly any. You see,
they always need tho chillies they order,
and so theru is little chance of their throw
ing them back on thudressmaker's hands,"
Then the little clerk begins to haul dowu
the dresses fiom the hooks. Theru is one
of e.iiilsltu lace made over an unilerskiit
of ashes of rosis silk. The waist Is an
elaborate allalr with Jet buiterllles on the
shoulders, a Jet bodicu and a heavy fringe
of Jet and ribbons to finish tbu bottom of
tho waist. The waistband is stamped with
the name of a fashionable modiste. You
can buy this dress for twenty-flvu dollars.
The jet on the waist alonu nuver cost a
penny less than toily dollars.
Ileie is a smart brown dress of heavy
broadcloth mucin with a severely stylish
coat, its only ornamentation !clug the
large buttons which secure it. Theru is
an Kuglish look about the dress, and you
are not surprised to llnd inside tliu name
of a well Known tailor In Kcgcut stteet.
Hanging next to It is a confection luduik
green velvet and betigaliue silk, lightened
by Judicious touches of a beautiful pink
and gieen brocade. This dress was made
iu P.u is, and was sold to tbu mlsllt cloth
ing people fur reasons of a pecuniary na
ture. You can bit) a gown of rouuh gray and
blue cloth t illumed with plain blue for
