Ono young lady had thrco hung nrouud hor nock. As an offset tho dinner favors consist ed of largo orchids of fllagroo diver, each holding tho menu rolled up nnd stood In tho center of a bunch of violcts.whlch bod their stoma in tho lip of tho orchid. Tho now summer fabrics nro all bought and now being mado tip as rapidly ns possiblo, nnd somo of thorn aro perfectly elegant and quito ns dressy as silks. Tlia oaro exorcised In making up tho summer gowns, though thoy nro of inexpensive material, is as great ns if it woro cloth of gold. Every ono fits as though mold ed, and every stitch is as flno and neat aa fingers can bow them, and, by the way, they aro nearly all mado by hand. It is ono of tho tests hand or machino work and of courso tho ono that costs tho most labor is tho best. Thoro is a very nobby staff called Priscilla homespun. It is very ugly, but stylish, and is being largoly worn for run about frocks, and there is a clmngo bio choviot which makes np into a bandsomo dress, and for every day bs early spring thero is cashmere, with ergo and satiny stripes; fancy pinhcad checks; camel's hair, with fancy weaves and satin stripes, and several effects of ilk and wool wcavo. Thero are for handsomer gowns, for calling, carriago, reception and other occasions which requlro mora elaborate toilet pattern, dresses of rich broad cloth, and this now comes already shrunken, and thero nro lighter ladies' cloths, Bomo of them having stripes of camol's hair on tho surfoco. This is sometimes seen in gray, with soft creamy whlto lines over it, and it makes lovely dresses.

This does not by any means exhaust tho list of lovely fabrics for summer gowns, but I want to Bay a fow words as to how theso dresses are made that is to say, tho chambray gingham. Ono homo dress was mado of light golden brown, with a light outline pattora in Hack silk chain stitch. It was princess shape and open in front over a slate colored chambray panel, which was in turn worked with brown and light gray. rw tm.yF 6aw wLMJbWQkM m tir && i 71 it b 1 1 III I Jr b.Kt ' lit I ' 'illi fiil i CHki in CRPITRL CITY COUB1BB.

A SMART WOMAN. he Can Teach School, Talk Politics ana Lecture on Twenty Tuples. Kearney, Nob., boasts of n genius in tho person of MIkh Mnry A. Ulploy, who can talk on moro topics than any othor woman in tho United states. And sho can talk interestingly on every ono of them too. Sho is, to uso tho phrnso of a down cast woman who heard hor lec ture, "an awful flinnrt woman." Miss Hiploy was for many years a teacher in tho IlulTalo high school. Her summers only nro spent nt Kearnoy. As soon as tho lecture Reason begins sho packs her Ratchel nnd starts out to tour it, nil over tho country from Portland, Or., to Portland, Mo,, and from St, Aa gustino to Montreal. MAJIY A. RIPLEY. Her now lecturo on "Columbus" is a rory interesting ono and gives hints on discovery which thoso who nro making arctio expeditions would do woll to hoed. Among Miss Ripley's multitude of loo tnro topics thoro aro talks upon tho "Vo mu of Milo," "Heredity," "Household Sorvico" and "Scientific Temperance." Aa soon as tho locturor begins to speak sho captivates hor audience, for sho is eloquent to a degree. Her finely formed head and wealth of short hair add weight and improsBivcnoss to her words. Augusta Presoott. HOUSEWORK SIMPLIFIED. The Methods of Woman Who "Doe Her Own Work." In this eountry servants aro so uncer tain and so poor that any guide from ono who "docs hor own work" success fully cannot fail to bo of. interest to many womon. Tho person in question Bays in rcsponso to questioning aa to hor methods, which Boom perfection: I determined at tho start upon two things: Ouo was that my homo should bo as daintily nico na over, so that neither children nor parents should re lax into careless habits. Tho second was that I must husband my strength in all possiblo ways. I would not have bellovod how many stops could bo saved nor how much unnecessary work I waa in ttio numt or uomg until i trtou to bo careful and to rcinombcr. Wo were thinking, when our maid of all work went away, of moving. Tlio now houso was much moro dosirnblo in soverol ways than tho old ono, but it had a baso tue&t kitchen, and I refused that. No woman vho can help it should liavo a flight of stairs between herself and her work. Then I had a comer cupboard sot up hi hb dining room nnd filled it with tho best cliiu:'., which had been kept before this in hn iittot tho way closet. Now It was nil nt) baud at n moment's notice. I even flliiiti tho kitchen salt cellar with fmiKxlS'l'pw and salt nnd bought ono ur iwu cuuui) imiiKiu rings, no umi wieru should bo no hesitation in Retting tho tn blo from having soveral nearly nliko. I only givo theso as instances of my scru- fiulous caro. There were many others Iko them. I used n good deal of fruit instead of mado desserts, and when I did bako pies or boll puddings I had n sufficient quan tity to reheat for nnothor day. Fortu nately for us housekeepers almost every thing eatablo can bo purchased in cans, nnd I always havo n closotful on hand ready to "fall back on." I early aban doned my old fashioned idea of having everything that tho market affords put upon tho tablo at onco. Instead of that, I mako tho variety from day to day, and find tho result infinitely easier for mo and moro ogrccnblo to my family. Sov eral times a week I havo soup, or somo- times a bit of fish or salad, or an entreo besides tho meat, with potatoes and one other kind of vegetables; never moro than ono kind, but that changed so from dinner to dinner that I do not hear tho old cry any moro, "I am bo tired of this or thatl" Ono of my llttlo daughters has been trained to change tho plates; tho other helps mo greatly nbout tho houso. All tho children havo learned to do their share of tho work. Ono of them dusta after my sweeping and another "brushes np" tho halls and Btairs. I bellovo that is tho hardest thing of all to team how to mako others help. I havo acquired It becauso I confidently bellovo I havo acquired most of tlio art of simplifying housework. Ruth Hall. OMAN'8 WORLD IN PA RAG RAP Ha rtia Dairy ntislness svl an Occupation for Women. That lively and uggresslvo state, Indi ana, furnlflhes many shining examples of successful business women. Iu tho older statoa tho dairy industry on a largo scalo has now drifted mostly into tho hands of men and stock companies. Dut in Indi ana wo havo sovoral signal examples of what womon can do not only in dairy ing, but also in tho rearing of beef cat tlo. Mrs. Meredith's herd of Shorthorns in southeastern Indiana la one of the noblest in tho country. Mrs. Laura D. Worloy, of Ellctsvillo, is so successful a breeder of butter Jerseys and so suc cessful a butter maker besides that it wiw nt ono timo proposed by somo gal lant western men to mako hor chiof of tho live stock department of tho World's fair. An a matter of fact, sho wna nppolntod ono of tho jurora of award on dairy products. Sho sella gilt edged butter directly to consumers, without nny middloman, and is adding to her bank account year by year. Another progressive Indiana dairy woman la Mrs. Mary O. Aloxandor, who read n paper Woro tho Indiana Stato Dairy association on "Dairying ns a Suc cessful Occupation for Women." Mrs. Alexander began dairying first with ono cow nnd tho most primitlvo nppll nuces. Shu took up tho butter making branch of tho work. Now bIio haa many cowa, n "brick mllkhouso with niodorn conveniences" nnd a warm barn for hor cowb. It is interesting to know that hor' own flue, strong armed daughters do tho milking, nnd thoy havo not found it too hard work for a woman. Mrs. Alex ander bcliovcs thoro is something in a woman's gentlo touch with a cow nnd in a woman's nico senso of cleanliness and her keen sight, smell nnd tasto that par ticularly adapts her to successful dairy ing. Mrs. Alexander is quito right. She is nt present enlarging her own facilities and going Into tho business on a larger scalo. Thero la not tho drudgory at tached to butter making nnd tho caro of milk that there used to bo. Cnlf and dog power can bo utilized with tho now stylo of churn, nnd tho cream separator or the creamer roliovcs a woman of tho caro of a largo number of heavy milk pans. As to pet animals, thoro la nothing ono can becomo moro attached to than to a herd of beautiful cows. Rov. Florcnco Kollock, who went to Europo last summer, is studying As syrian archrcology and Egyptology in tho British musoum. Sho will undoubt edly como on tho fact in tho courso of hor investigations that in tho most ancient times in Egypt womon had such rights and such a commanding power and influenco ns thoy havonovor enjoyed in any country, civilized or uncivilized, since How thoy lost thoir power is a long story and most interesting ono. In briof , thoy lost much of it through their own fault. Thoy must strugglo till thoy get it back, and that is tho task now be fore women. Mnch of women's trouble comes to them becauso of a sort of intellectual laziness. It is easier to trust a man anybody, father, brother or husband- to transact business, easier to lot men ran city government and eoslor to lot ministers make church rules, ovon ii thoso rules rologato womon to a shame fully subordinate position, than to roust np and find out things and act for thorn solves. Womon of this kind havo no right to whlno when men cheat them out of all their property, when their sons and daughters aro rulnod becauso of bad city government and publlo vico, oi Whon pompous doctors of divinity Insult them by preaching at them tho propriety of ignoranco and subjection for the Christian woman. Womon havo the remedy for ovory ono of theso evils in their own hands. In tho Boriea of scathing papers about American schools which Dr. J. M. Rice has been contributing to Tho Forum thoro is ono city whoso primary system merits his unqualified approval. That city is Indianapolis. Ho finds that here tho truo idea of education is compre hended nnd put into operation with shin ing results. It is with modest prido I record tho fact that this is owing to a woman, Miss Cropsy, assistant super intendent of tho Indianapolis public schools. Miss Cropsy hits long been connected with tho Indiauapolia schools. Sho did not consider that if sho worked just ns tho principal told hor to do and then drow her monthly wage that hoi duty wns douo nnd horsclf cleared oi responsibility until somo man came along and married hor. Miss Cropsy thought over hor work and studied the child nature. What books on educa tion could teach her bIio learned besides. In tho courso of years bIio evolved a noblo system of primury education oi her own and was fortunato enough to havo her work appreciated by tho school board. Somo distressful souls aro again in feai lest women try to mako mon of thorn solves. Thero Is no danger. Tlio aver ago masculine animal Is not such s howling success that women should want to imituto him. Maino needs flomo attention, judging from a letter In Tho Womau'B Journal In that stato a dead father has moro con trol over a child than a living mother, and It Is, moreover, lawful for a man tc leavo his wifo a pauper at his death. Nevertheless in his last messngo tho gov ernor devoted a third of his spneo to the protection or gamo and said never a word about tho protection of womeu. It was a nowspaper woman, after oil, that brilliant and industrious girl, Llda Roso McCabo, who was tho means ol opening to womon tho post graduate courso in moral philosophy at St. Fran cis Xnvior's Roman Catholic college in Now York city. Advice of Tho Review of Itoviuws tc women, "Tho best way for women tc enter politics is not to keep up agitation for woman suffrage, but to take a livel hand in tho political b.ittlo iw it uetualls wages." This is what Uuglisli women aro doing. Fuza Ai:chaiu Co.snkh Established i668 u. -U For Pure Ice Cream and Delicious 3ALL The Bon Ton Telephone 4C7. 12 02 P Street. a Geo. JVLeicfgtrlEtne, Fropr.
