It all nlone. It is soldoin that is fanner
feels that ho can afford to biro help In
tho kitchen. 8ho has tho vegetable gnr-
den to sco to. To brighten tho dreari
ness of her life sho has closo to tho sel
dom opened front door a bed of half
starved looking (towers old fashioned
coxcomb, four-o'clocks, grass pinks and a
few other cheerful looking plants that
will thrlvo under neglect. Sho makes
everything tlint her family wears except
hats and shoes. Sho has no tlmo to think
of rest or self.
It Is in most cases her lot to welcome
a now baby every other year, and tho
only tlmo when help Is employed to as
sist her Is for a jicrlod of two or three
weeks when tho little st ranger arrives.
Tho births of tho babies aro about all
that vary tho monotony of her llfo. Oc
casionally death calls and takes from
her tired arms a littlo llfo and leaves in
Its placo an added pain in her heart. Sho
Is old nud tired out nt thirty.
When her daughters reach tho ago nt
which they could assist her tho dreary
prospect of a frontier llfo appalls them,
and they seek employment in town.
Nothing in her houso is of Into improve
ment. Her washboard Is of tho kind her
mother used, and her churn in its heavy,
clumsy build shows that it belongs to
tho Bamo ditto. Improvement stalks till
over tho farm and leaves no traco in tho
kitchen. Her pleasures aro fow. Tho
satisfaction that sho is doing her boat
seems to bo all that rowurds her. Sho
is a heroiuo in a calico dress, wrinkled
and stoop shouldered a woman with a
burden, who nover complains. Lato nt
night, when all tho members of tho
family are in bed, a light will shino out
across tho prulrio from tho family living
room. It is by this light tho fanner's wife
is doing her mending and sowing, and it
will shino out long after tho occasional
travel that way has stopped, and no
ono but tho one that blows it out knows
at what hour tho patient burden bearer's
labors ceaso. Fiiances L. Qaiisiue.
A Dainty Portfolio.
A dainty portfolio is made from heavy
eggshell paper, which can bo purchased
for about fifty
cents a sheet.
Tho pieces are all
cut and then dec
orated with
water colon In
some simple de
sign. The one
hero illustrated
has blue forget
menots and star
front. flowers uollcately
painted so that they can bo cut out in ro
lief at tho upper edges of tho pockot
and tho cornors. A dainty blotter to be
placed insido this portfolio may bo made
from delicately tinted blotting paper
decorated In flowers or butterflies. The
initials of the person for whom the port
folio is Intended may be placed upon the
blotter, as the monogram upon tho back
of tho portfolio itself.

INSIDfc or PORTFOLIO.
If ono does not paint, a very pretty
way of decorating tho portfolio is to use
metallic luster bronzns. Small disks or
squares, overlapping in twos and three),
or even fours nnd fives; with occasional
ly a single isolated square, would form
pretty designs. Draw the squares also
on tho pockets, making two or three on
tho very edgo of the openings of the
pockets, so that tho pockets may be eat
down lowor In
some instances
and occasionally
a square protrude
at tho edgo in re
lief. The squares
or disks should
be painted in dif
ferent colored
bronzes rd,
pink, blue, green.
liver, gold, etc. back.
Oilt bows and lacings should be added
when this style of decoration is used.

iih their means will permit, and women
In overy walk of life in this great country
look to Now York for their fashions.
Just now, tho middle of tho winter,
tho Indies in New York aro wearing the
gowns they purchased or hud mudo In
tho fall, for, contrary to jMipular Idea,
fashion does not change three times a
week, and tho ladles who purchase a fine
dress or wrap and pay a high price foi
it do not expect to lay it aside nftei
wearing It onco. Yet thoro aro always
now ideas being worked out nnd fcelort
tint on tho market to try whether popu
ar tasto will indorse them.
For Instance, this past week has shown
In four of tho largest establishment!
dresses that stand out around tho lxittom
with an effect that nothing but hoopi
could givo. In Romo tho skirt, which li
cut in a Bort of bell shape, hangs from
just under tho arms, and is gored so nt
to fall without a wrlnklo and spread
gradually until it measures nearly font
yards around tho bottom. Thoro is na
hint of tho outlines, graceful or other
wise, of tho wearor, and at tho bust
thero aro usually capo berthes, which
mark the dividing lino between tho skirt
nnd yoko, for tho uppor part of tho waist
bocomes virtually a simplo yoko. The
sleeves that nro do rigucur with this dress
aro enormous puffs, either ending at the
elbows or reaching nearly to tho wrists.
There aro Bovcral varieties of this in.
novation. Somo only hint at hoops,
others proclaim to the most inexpert,
enced eye their presence nnd others are
modifications that aro not offensivo to
tho Bight.
Thcso gowns should of necessity be ol
tho most superb material. Thoy' would
look positively ghastly In ordinary stuff.
Tho favorite after tho heavy riblied ve-
TWO NOVRL aOWNi,
lours is a new cloth. This is not the light
ladles' cloth of other days, nor broad
cloth with a satlnliko nap, but a closely
woven fabric which has a surfaco like
billiard cloth. It is exceedingly fine, and
tho quality is so good that it cannot bear
much trimming. Therefore the most
costly dress is tho plainest looking ono.
I was quite charmed with one dress
that waa to be worn at a "tea." It was
of old rose cloth, of superb finish, and
ornamented with a Cinch band of moss
green velvot, headed with a narrow
green embroidery. Tho front of the skirt
fell straight and tho back laid in six deep
plaits. The waist was round and gath
ered with a belt made of embroidery.
Thero wero green velvet epaulets on
the shoulders. The sleeves were quito
novel, with a band edged with very nar
row embroidery of groen. There was uo
hoop with this.
Old rose, dull blue, leathor color and
russet browns and greens aro all popular,
nnd as a rule the finer and costlier a fab
ric is tho moro delicate and refined its
colors. Tho cheaper grades show more
brilliant and less artistic coloring.
Thero was at a recent opening a boll
gown of dark blue cloth whoso skirt
was laced up on every Beam with garnet
cord, which tied in a knot near tho bot
tom. Tho yoko and sleeves wero of sol
ferino fnillo. Thoro was a capo, bound
with narrow bands of mink. Of course
these two drosses wilt bo copied in
many colors, and if ono has a clover
dressmaker a fow modifications or
changes can bo mndo.
I intonded to add, speaking of tho blue
gown, that thero were hoops, Thoso nro
I threo steel bauds set respectively four.
I ten and sixteen Inches from tho bottom,
, and thoy are run into tho silk lining in
casings.
Bonnets rango from a dime to a table
top in size, and the price varies from
$1.50 to $75. Tho least pleasing featuro
of this is that often the young woman
who buys tho cheap hat looks prettier
than sho who pays thu higher price' Still
it cannot be denied that a handsome bon
net does show Us worth. French milli
ners certainly have a faculty of giving
a bow or a bonnet some indefinable deft
twist of the fingers that none else can,
and which makes of it a thing of beauty
and 'a joy for "a season.

WOMAN'S WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS.
Willed Wiiulil You Illume, ttm lliiihaml
(ir Wife, In This Cn.eT
A pretty girl cashier In a restnurnnt
reveals to mo a funny stato of nffnlrs
Men coino to her dining room and feed
as only men cun. They feel good tut
tured with all tho world as thoy pass
outward again and aro apt to stop and
have a bit of fiiemlly chaff with tho neat
littlo cashier. Sho docs not mind; het
employer does not mind; nobody minds,
for bIio Is disci utiou Itself. Nuvottho
less when thcso sumo gentlemen coino
in with their wives thoy mostly march
with their noses straight before them,
afraid to even nod nt tho littlo cashier.
Not long since a man caino in who
usually showed much pleasuro in chat
ting with her. Uut this tlmo ho
passed by with tho most freezing
nod a liuro recognition. A lady
was with him. They ato their lunch
eon In solemn, stupid silenco and do
parted. A fow days later tho man camu
in nlono and sidled sheepishly up to the
littlo cashier. "You observed, perhaps,"
said ho, "that I did not bow to you in
my usual friendly way last tlmo I was
hero. Well, that was my wlfo who was
with mo, nud I did not dnrospeak to you.
Sho gavo mo n severe going over as it
was, merely for bowing to you." Now
nil husbands will bear watching, wlvci
think, but really isn't it carrying things
n littlo too far to draw tho lino on a hus
band thus? Hccauso ho will break out
when ho Is away If you tlo him up so
cIojo that ho dares not speak to nnybody
but yourself. How mortnlly tired of his
wifo a husband must got who is kept
under like tliatl Did you over think ol
this?
By decision of tho last eloction In Kan
sas women now hnvo municipal nnd
county stilTrngo In that state. Thoy can
voto for any officer In a 'town, from
mayor to marshal, and put themselves
upon tho Rchool board or any whoro else.
What Is worso nnd moro of It, thoy say,
"Wo expect to voto for president In
1800."
Ono of tho most successful nnd ener
getic women fanners in this country
lives nt Turk Hill, in northern Now
York, near Rochester. Sho is Miss Mary
Conaut. Sho has made lior farm pay
ever sinco hor fathor's death, many years
ago. Uesides taking chargo of tho farm
sho also teaches school in tho neighbor
hood n mllo and a half away. It rather
makes a lazy city person shiver to think
of the hour ut which Miss Conaut must
hustle out In tho cold every morning,
but a woman who can do so many tilings
would not mind it littlo matter like that,
Sho has received as high as $100 in
a season from a two aero aspara
gus lied. Sho has mado a specialty
of asparagus culture, and is very
successful with It. A considerable por
tion of her placo is dovoted to tho cul
turo of fruit, such as apples, quinces,
grapes, berries and pears. Sho employ!
a man to do tho work, but all the plan
sing and superintendence is hor own,
What ono woman has done others can do.
Bo always exactly what you think othet
pcoplo ought to bo. Then thero will bo nt
least ono nearly perfect person in the
world.
Don't got it into your bend that you
aro not appreciated, or that you aro not
loved as you deserve. It may bo true,
but tho most hurtful thing you can do ii
to brood over this fact. Throw all such
thought away from you, engage in soma
OBeful, helpful work, and forco yoursoll
to be bravo, bright and merry to every
body nround you. Thon In time you will
ceaso to expect peoylo to give you the
affection that it is not in them to give.

Knights of Labor in Kansas Is Mrs.
Fanny McCormick.
I saw lately a woman who looked
twenty and said sho was forty. She wae
born and bred in poverty and had worked
hard all her lifo, yot sho had tho whitest
of teeth, a slim, pretty figuro und a milk
and roBO complexion, with a face at
plump and smooth as that of a girl of
sixteen. "How ob earth do you do it?"
I asked. "Well, I never worry," sho an
weretl. "If anything troubles me I
think first whether I cun remedy it. If
not, I throw it away from mo like a heap
of old clothes, and that is the end."

frago association meets at Washington

Tho northwest has a famous woman
wit and humorous speaker. This U
Mrs, C. E. Wolverton, of Oregon, who
was a deleguto to the Republican con
vention last Juno. Sho draws crowds
to listen to her by tho wit and humor
which never fail to excito ripples and
roars of laughter. Women speakers, as
n rule, are qulto too serious to bo wholly
popular. They ought to cultivate tho
humorous way of looking at things.
Dear girls, don't expect too much ol
men, or you will be disappointed.
From present indications womon will
get full stiff rngo in Australia before thoy
will in the United States. Tho scarcity
of women In the Australian colonies
prompted men to mnko tho most of wo
men, nnd so overy advantage was offered
to them, oven to coeducation in tho uni
versities. Old Iron bars of tradition did
not havo to bo hacked away first in thoso
blessed new lands. Consequently all over
tho Australian British colonies a gener
ation of fino, strong, splendidly equipped
women has appeared, and they are prov
ing themselves wide, capublo and full of
intelligence in all situations of llfo. In
a number of the colonies sovoral of tho
leading officers of tho government aro in
favor of full suffrage for womon. It Is
expected, however, that South Australia
will bo the first to pass tho enfranchise,
ment act.
