corsages woro

fastened bo ns to frumo tlio pretty fnco
llko t!:o hnndlo of n basket. Ouu had
lilies of tlio valley only, another viololn,
ono roses, and bo on through nil tho
spring blossoms, mid they went through
With n protty llttlo tlunco that had been
devised for thorn by their dancing teacher.
Then thoy flushed out ngnin, and when
inoy returned moy woro inu reguinuon
untieing dresses of flimsy white, flouting
pink, ethereal bluo, or tho tender green
of springtime, ntul wont on with their
dancing us if nothing umntunl had hap
pened, but tho innovation waa unex
pected mid gnvo tho guests something to
talk nbout.
At tho gormnns thin Reason tho favors
Uavo been very odd nnd curious rather
than costly, nnd tho wiso hostess tries to
think of Botnothlng that nobody has over
bad before Ono of tho wealthiest Indict
In tho city had wholo families of those
stuffed tabby cata that nro sold for ton
conts fiplcco for favors, nnd each had a
long ribbon tied around ita neck so that
it could bo carried, nnd tho object wu
for each ono to boo how many ho or she
could carry nt onco. 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.
But tho laco French ginghams and
tho tinsel plaid ginghams, tho satin plaid
and stripo goods of tho samo class, the
novelty stripo, tho embroidered stripe,

dino stripo nnd tho half Bilk ginghams
mako up n lino of thoso goods uover be
fore seen, and thoy mako up tho very
daintiest and most fetching of summer
gowns. Tho colors aro all woll chosen
and well blended.
Among tho gingham novelties I And
on referring to Iny notes that thero nro
also raised hair lino stripes and Scotch
crinklo gingham, as well as patterns
where thero Is a flonnco or neck rufllo
and Bash all embroidered In contrasting
color, and I remember ono exquisite
French crapo gingham in shell pink, with
adellcato embroidery in old rose and
brown.
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.

quito ns clnliorato na if tho dross waa of

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.

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.
