ICopyrUht, 1WC, by American Press Associa tion. To briefly disposo of ninglo wotnon's projiorty rightfl, it may bo said tlint they aro tho nnmo na thono of inun, with tho exception of tho ability to influenco tho taxntlon of property by voto. In sotno of tho tnten thero is this alight pOAsihlo ntlvniitngo thnt tho ago of legal majority is nt olghtoon instead of twonty-ono for woinon. By tho old common law theory an not forth in Dlnckstono, when n woman mar ried it was supposed that sho was willing to givo up to lior htiHlmnil thovntiro con trol of nny property ho then had or might thereafter ncquiro, retaining no rights but such as ho consumed to givo hor. Of courso this has been mitigated in many cases by a marriago Hottloinciit, by which tho husband agreed that tho wifo should retain possession of tho proticrty ulio brought to him. But wo liavo changed all that, or most of it, by Btatuto, so that today in most of tho states tho right of n married woman in hor own property aro ns abso lute as thoso of hor husband in his, Tho husband's control of his property is not, strictly speaking, absolute since it is subject to tho debts of his wife, to tho support of tho family, in a few ntatoa to tho dobts of tho wifo incurred beforo marriago nnd in a groat many to tho dower right. Tho wife's rights in hor husband's property, thoroforo, aro generally greater than his in hers. . Tho law, holdinga man responsible for tho support of his wifo nnd children, re gards tho wifo ns tho agent of tho hus band and holds him responsible for nny dobU sho may contract. In cases whero a man ndvortises that ho will not pay his wife's dobts tho courts may hold that it has no greater force than as a warning, and that ho is still responsible for bills for necessities. In almost every state a wife's separate property that is, property which has como to hor by inheritance, br by lie quest or doviso, or by gift from anyone but hor husband, or nionoy which sho has earned, or property bought with money acquired in any of theso ways is not liable for her husband's personal dobts, nor is it liablo for debts for the family unless no property of tho hus band can bo found to satisfy them. Property given to her by her hus band may bo so liablo if thoro is 11 sus picion of fraud in tho conveyance. Of course if some distinction were not made ny man could avoid paying his debts by aimplo process of handing his protiorty over to his wifo as fast as he acquired it. Tho wife's property is free from the husband's control in tho senso that he could not insist upon her selling or mort gaging it, yet tho increase and profits of the property (interest, rents collected, crops raised, etc.) may bo liable fordebU for tho family support after the creditor has exhausted his remedy against tho husband. In a few of the states such profitB form part of what is known aa "community property," and aro equally liablo with tho husband's property for such debts. ln some states a husband 1b liablo for tho antenuptial debts of his wife. In Tennessee lie is as fully responsible for theso us for his own. In Maino, if ho voluntarily assumes payment of any of them, ho can bo sued for others. In New Hampshire ho is liablo for her dobts in curred on her own responsibility after her majority, but not for debt incurred while under ago nnd living in her fa ther's house. There uro provisions sim ilar to these in a few other stntes, but in most of them neither husband nor wifo is liablo for debts of the other prior to tho marriage. In most of the states the earnings of a wifo are entirely under her own con trol. In New York sho can engage in any trade or business and enrry it on tho same as if sho were single, and this holds good nearly everywhere, except that in some states she cannot enter into a business partnership. Tho earnings and profits of her biihi ness will bo her independent property, not subject to any control by her hus band; but all dobts and liabilities in curred in carrying on Mich business will nlso be her own, mid not, like her er donal debts and debts for the support of herself and eliilihfii, legally chargeable upon the husband. In -i few of tho states (Rhodo Island, Vermont and West Virginia, for in stance) a wifo cannot enrry on a separate business or trado without her husband's consent unless ho is insane or impris oned or has deserted hor. This, however, cannot bo construed as a prohibition to earning wages, As to whether a woman may suo her husband for the performance of a con tract or promise made with or to her there is a diiTereuce of practice in the different states. It is also not settled how far she can be held liablo 'upon an indorsement for another person. In New Jersey aud several other states, generally speaking, thoso in which the right of courtesy exists, a husband must join with his wifo in a deed of convey ance. This is not required in New York. Now Jersey hits been very much be hind tho other states in tho matter of making reforms of this sort. It is com paratively recently that a married wom an can control her own property or make a valid will or buo in her own name. When nny 0110 owns real property in several states, each parcel is subject to tho laws of tho state in which it is situ ated. Personal property, on tho other hand, is subject to the laws of the state in which tho owner resides. A wife can iiiMiro her husband's life for hor own benefit. It is, however, a little difili'iilt to understand what tbis privilege amounts to, since it would not bo easy to find a company which would issue a policy without a personal appli cation from the person insured and with out his submitting to an examination A wifo having onco induced her husband ro insure his life can, howi . r, pay the premiums herself if he does not. But of course any beneficiary can do this. M. Hki.un FuAfiun Lovivrr CHPtTRL CITY COURIER. HOME DRESSMAKING. THE CORRECT EVENING WEAR FOR VOUNQ LADIES. Home PUIn and Simple tints Which Will lis of Vnliie-The Molt Silltablo Sleeve for I'lunip Arm Soma I'olutert About Hllk. Cop right, I Ml.', by American Presi AjiocU. t lan.l NUMBER V. In making up tho diaphanous material now In vogue for evening wear for yoiitiu ' ladlei, the drcvtiiiitkcr ban hut to bear In 1 mind tliu general rules given In this nrtlclu and those already set forth aito the proper ' shape of the breadtliH of the foundation 1 skirt and tho (It of the waist lining, which is easily adapted to the making of low necked ilrt'iset, as w 111 be seen from the ac companying diagrams, the dotted lines showing how to cut away for a low necked dreHi, Tho Inside lining can bo of jaconet or lousdale cambric, covered with surah or other material, and Mil draped with mull or chllTou or the material of which the dress Is made. To make a pattern for a V shaped Spun ccr waist the lining should be cut like the model In every particular, only that It Is cut olT at the walit line, or the front and back brought to points. This Is scarcely DIAdltAM KOI! CIITTINO V SIIAI'K AND LOW WAIsTS. (Potted lino shows n hero to cut out to shorten waists. needful, now that the pointed velvet belts are in style, and they are too pretty to ho discarded soon. The fullness Is nil gath ered at the bottom outside of the darts, nnd at the top there Is no neck size cut, and the length Is then carried to the top of the shoulder nnd gathered. The front lining should be sliced on at the neck and hemmed, nnd nil the rest treated as usual. The gathers should he sewn In under a belt, and this latter should have the lower edges turned in and the skirt gathered nnd sewn to that. Where thesklrt Is to bo quite full, which Is now the style for thin dresses, a lining of silk or sateen, of the prevailing tolor, Is made and finished off nnd worn under. The breadths to tho outer dress are cut straight, and the skirt should lie quite five yards around, a little longer In the hack and simply hemmed. A pretty finish is to have a ruffle of tho same thin goods, with a still narrower and fuller one under that, set on the under skirt. Ribbons can bo added If desired. The neck can he finished In nny manner, but Just now herthes of lace or chiffon or of the dress material are used, and there is practically no limit to tho variety of trim ming one can use for light dresses. Tulle nnd crape, mull nnd India muslin are all made alniut alike. Jabots of lace are pretty, ami are made by gathejiug luce very full, giving it a shake and then fas tening It as It naturally falls. Never try to make it fall ns you like, hut fasten It where It falls itself, or you will lose the effect. Festoons and light effects are to be sought for In thin materials. The most suitable sleeve for a plump arm is a simple fall of lace or the dress ma terial. For a thin one a long liouffaut ef fect, open, if liked, nt Intervals on the upper part of tho arm, fastened wiih tiny knots of rlhlioii, or a sleevu can bo a series of puffs held In place, by bracelet bands of ribbon. Wash gowns should always ho madu with a view to their looking as well after wash ing as before, aud to that end the good dressmaker should aim. Cotton uoods. whet her zephyrs or sateens, should he plain and neat, graceful in model and perfect In fit. All cottons, except sateens, are pretty with tucks or bias bands. Sateens require more elaborate, trimming, such as cuffs, collars, etc., of veliitlua or lacu. Silks require a different treatment from any other material, nod if It Is possible to avoiiT it a hot iron should never be put on silk. Black silks, the heavier and richer kinds, like armiire, peau de sole, faille and grogiain, should be made as plainly as possible, their richness showing better when little trimmed. Black silks, being alike on both sides, cut to good advantage, but as It is apt to fray the seams should be rather deep. The waists can he cut after the model waist and any triminiuu deslied added. Nothing is more suitable or ele gaut than beaded passementerie unless it is a little real black thread lnce; therefore avoid cutting up the silk Into rullleand broken bits. Let thesklrt be plain, but ample. Bind It with velvet, and, If desired, add a narrow puff or rose plaiting around the bottom. Pay more attention to the fit and style than trimmluu'. The richest gowns are those made plain, but perfect. Silk waists should never bo quite as tight as they could be, for the richer the silk the worse is the habit It has of stretching at the seams. All tho light summer silks can be made without these precautious, but even they will not stand stretching To finish a handsome silk dies-, properly requires the utmost attention to details. The waist seams should be bound with lustring, the ease belt be nice, the loops for hanging up be of ribbon anil every stitch set with precision. The finish of the best dresses sent from abroad Is about as nice on the inside as on the outside, and nearly all very handsome silks aro lined with black or colored glace silk The facing slfould be carefully made, as told befoie, and on the inside of that are now set two or three narrow pinked ruffles of glare silk, and beneath this again is a balayeitsu of black lace When the lady prefers her dress unllned there Is a silk underskirt cut on the model lliiesaud about four Inches shorter than the drcs4.

A shining example of woman's ability to succeed as an agriculturist is given in tho case of Mrs. Tulwr Willetts, of Ros lyn. Tho editor of Tho Rural New Yorker glvoH a charming sketch of a visit lately made to tho lady's farm. Tim farm contains 500 acres and has licoti known for generations as tho "Old Biick " This name, however, has no particular application to tho owners of tho farm, hut conies from tho farmhouse itself, one of tho first brick houses built on Long Island, Mrs, Willotts used to run the place as a dairy farm, but gavo it up because it was all hard work aud poor pay. In this respect sho had more common souse than a majority of the men farmers in tho milk supply dis tricts around Nuw York city havo to this day. Mrs. Willetts says that sho had no say in tho price sho got for milk, nnd between tho railroads and whole sale milk dealers tho milk farmer was picked bare. So sho turned hor atten tion to stock breeding. Nolo particular ly tills bit of golden wisdom from the woman farmer'H lips: "Quo must have a definite aim to begin, havo tho matter nil thought out ami know exactly what ho wishes to accomplish." After having tho matter all thought out Mrs. Willots began the breeding of black Berkshire nwiiio and Guernsey dairy cows. Hho has since added tho breeding of trotting and road horses. Highland Olrl and Highland Lassie aro two of tho trotting colts from tho Old Brick farm. The way this woman farmer went to work when sho decided to go into 'tho breeding of trotters is instructive. Sho "began to study up tho standard" to find what sort of a horso sho wanted at tho head of her stables. Sho searched into gait, ances try, reputation aud all tho oilier myste rious points that go to tho making of trotters. Then sho looked about till sho found tin) animals that filled tho bill and bought them. Sho has now on her farm from sixty to seventy horses and Boventy head of Guornsoy cattlo. Sho Bolls tho Guernsey butter nt fifty cents a pound. But her greatest success is ns 11 breeder of stock for sale. It Is sold as fast as it is old enough, whether Berk shire pigs, Guernsey covyh or trotters and road horses. Thoro aro peoplo who appear to road a certain well known Scripture text as follows: "What man hath joined togeth er lot not God put asunder." Tho exigencies of politics in Now York city demand that women shall lie excluded from tho school board. Tam many has no use for women. Tho time is coming when women will havo no uso for Tammany. Some time ago I had tho ill fato to be fooled by a rascally falsehood in a Now York paper to tho effect that tho mayor of Salem, O., had forbidden tho young women of that town to walk upon tho streets after 8 o'clock p. in. 1 might havo known on tho faco of it that no Ohio man would do a thing llko that, but I did not stop to think. I madoaomo comments on tho story in a manner which I now confess, was not exactly mild in tone. I find that my comments did grievous wrong to 0110 of tho host woman's rights men living. Mayor J. W. Northrop, of Salem, O., writes that in his judgment the proposition of wom an's equal rights with man, politically as well as otherwise, is so self evident that it cannot be directly disputed. Ho adds also this fine, strong statement: "My dealings with tho world as a mer chant, a soldier, a journalist, a public officer, aud, lastly, a magistrate suggest that woman's political enfranchisement may bo essential in order Uj, mako man morally her equal in all respects aud to lift both boxes higher in tho social scale aud nearer the standard of true man hood aud womanhood," A crying need of today is for women to take an interest in city governments. Tho movement to havo a central homo and clubhouse for trained nurses in every city is a good one. They need a house all their own, with a laundry, res taitraut, telephone aud rooms full of Buushiuo and air. Trained nurses, as one of them has said, aro set apart by their profession in many ways aud need to bo specially provided for. Strive to cultivate a sweet, magnetic voice. When Lady Henry Somerset was in America a clever pel sou remarked of her that centuries of culture sounded in her voice. Mako them sound in youis, I havo been following up lately some divorce cases in which tho husband sought to take the children away from their mother on tho ground that she wait not a fit person to bring them up. In every one of tho cases it has become evident that, whatever the wifo may or may not havo done, sho was 11 good deal more fit to bring up tho children thuu her husband was. An English woman, Mrs. Poll, fills the office of church warden in the Episcopal church of Hazelbeach with the approval of tho bishop of Peterborough.
