New York \Voi-ld : Miss Laura RUter , a young woman dressed in inalo nttiro , was arrested on the streets of St. Louis n faw nights ago , anil now it turns out that who is a farmer's daughter , nnd 'lives ' near Springfield , Mo. She Is something of an artist , and attended Drury college , at Spdntrfiold , wlioro Bho cnnturcd nil the prizes in the art department. She aspired to new hon ors , and bogged her father to Bend her to the St. Louis art .school. This ho was not able to do , and she ran away , drebbcd in a suit of her brother's clothes , nnd with KJO of Ills money. She walked three miles one night to the railroad station and reached St. Louts without being detected , Ilor intention won to so euro work in a photograph gallery and attend the art school evenings , but she tramped the streets all day visiting photographic galleries without getting u situation. She also tried groceries , bakeries and harbor shops , with no better success. She Bays thai at homo she used toshavo her two brothers and cut their hair. The young woman will bo hold for her father. She is n Rosa Donhour in innko-up. Her hair , which is cut short , la ravon-blaok , and her eyes are of a prayUh-broivn. Dark trousers , u col ored gingham shirt , a black slouch hnt , u dark sack coat , much too largo for her slender frame , and a pair of largo heavy shoes , which seemed too great a weight for her little foot to carry , made up her attlro.

Globe-Democrat : Two stories of beautiful women appear at the same time. Ono is from Chicago , and she took to the fashionable plan of secret cigarette smoking , and now is n beauti ful idot ; the other is a San Francisco woman , who took a sponge bath every morning , and a four-mile walk after lunch. The latter is the mother of two children , and although thirty , looks like eighteen. Moral for the ladies : If you wish to preserve your youth nnd beauty , take long walks and regulat baths ; but lot cigarettes and other silly fashions alone. The Chicago woman has , however , the most imitators and followers , and the San Francisco woman has the most admirers. There 4s no reason why a beautiful woman should not be beautiful till sixty. Hlio I'ltlloil tlio Dentist's Tooth. Now York World : A novel election bet was paid at El Paso , To.xng , u few days ago. A few weeks before election n democratic dentist was operating upon the ivorioa of the wife of a loading re publican of this city. A dibcusslon led to a wager , the terms of which were that if Cleveland were elected the lady should return to the dentist for moro dental work , while if Harrison was vic torious the dentist agreed to allow the lady to extract one of his ( the dentist's ) teeth. Yesterday the lady , armed with n big pair of "horso" forceps and ac companied by homo friends , wont to the dentist's ollino to claim the wagor. Neither the dentist nor any of the spec tators seemed to think that the lady would really claim the forfeited tooth , but as she showed an inclination to dose so the dentist adjusted his chair , look his seat and pointed outtho molar which lie proposed to sacrifice. The lady seized her forceps , where upon her female companions all fled from the room. She fastened the for ceps upon the tooth and gave a pull. The forcopsfjlippod oil. Thou the den tist told her she must give the forceps a little twist , instead of merely pulling at the tooth , and ho showed her how. Again she grasped the tooth , gave the requisite twist and pull , and , to the astonishment of the onlookers , she hold the tooth up bcforo them. WOMHMI'H Clubs , Philadelphia Times : The talk of a club house for women in New York is having its periodic revival. It will come to nothing. There is no organi zation in the city with energy enough to shoulder such a project. English women have shown themselves thus far more clubbable than their Ameri can sisters. There nro two or three women's clubs In London which embody most of the features over which New Yorkers argue. There is no pleasanter way of getting rid of an afternoon in London than by spending It at the Victoria club , whoso house on Old Cavendish street is n club house in the strict son so of the term. The Vic toria is not n largo club , and its rates are high enough to restrict Its member ship to women of umplo Incomes , but it is thoroughly organized and bikes n very genuine pleasure in its recap tion parlors , iU library and reading rooms , Its tea room and its pretty suites of bed rooms where country members lodge on trips to town , and where unat tached women sometimes board the year round. Drop lu at U o'clock on any bright day and you will get an oyo-illi- iug vision of violets in brown bowls , yellow tulips nodding over the heads of Ionia in silver dishes , dancing eyes pooping from behind news papersfeath prs , furs and contentedly occupied fem ininity. The Somcr\ullo club Is the best known of women's clubs in London. Its dues are still only $2.60 a year , and its mem bership includes the duchess of Ports mouth , Lndv Gray and n number of ti tled folk , with Mrs. Mllliccnt Garrett Fawcott , Francis Power Cobbo , Lady Ilarberton , Dr. Elizabeth Gnrrott Andersen - dorson , as well as a contingent of med ical students , young literary women , bookkeepers and self-dependent women of all kinds. It has furnished its rooms in the prevailing aesthetic taste. It has its shelves Tilled with n formidable array of books and subscribes to a long list of papers and magazines. It ar ranges a regular program of lectures und debates for the winter , and tea is served to nny members who happen in any afternoon at 4. The real life of the club is in these informal droppings in. In one corner they are discussing Buddha , in another bonnets. The Somerville - orville has a wider range. London literary womou have a club of themselves. It is the University In Bond street , and is practically , though not professedly , limited to authors and professional women. It attracts a vis itor by its cheery open fires. The Bloomsbury club takes in women fond of out of door lifo and gets up club walks and country trips the season through. It has a line erymnasium and women practice there daily. It lias n good billiard room. There are several good clubs for men nnd women jointly , ns the Alboimirla and Junior Denison. London women horoughly enjoy club lifo , solitary women for its cotnpanionphip and cosi ness , nnd married women for thoohanco of mooting and drinking tea with girl- ho od friends. Foinnlo hotter Carriers. Philadelphia Record : It has boon whispered , faintly but clearly , that the postal service may bo reorganized under the now administration. First comes the rumor of the discharge of many lot- carriers , and then follows the startling report that the servers of mail are to bo replaced in part by pctticoatod female loiter carriers. This is un appalling m-ospcd , and the possibilities of trouble for unwary young men and frisky old mon seem lo bo limitless. Imagine girls toddling around the streets currying bags and bundles of letters. Imaglno the awful possibilities , and also the great advantages that will bo thrown in their way , Every time a venerable business man , who has grown pray during the years lie has served as deacon and a dutiful husband , shall got n little square envelope , daintily been ted , the fomnlo lottar carrier would wink a sly wink and the venerable mer chant would bo obliged to liund over a dollar at least or take a trip out of lown. If ho should not settle up the fe male letter carrier might go nnd inter view his wifo. In this way the young girl of to-day may secure a brilliant future for herself. The female' loller-carrlor will also bo able to utilize her position in other directions. If her follow should open correspondence with other girls she could ( ind it out und go and pull their hair. By appropriating letters ad dressed to the pretty girl who llvos n few doors below her she can find out all about the rod-headed chap who calls there so frequently , and soltlo forever her suspicions that the red-headed man is none other than n collector for an In stalment clothing house , from whence came that now silk dross , If the female lottor-corricr is smart she can also draw a weekly stipend , the prlco of her silence , from many of tloalleged | board- ing-houao keepers , who Uavo so many boarders who como homo late at night. Thus the female letter-carrier may enjoy the perquisites that are now the common property of ovory-day police men. men.After having been in service for a brief time slio will Und put that letters intended for married women are mailed by the senders so aso arrive during the husband's absence , and she will also learn the motives of the reputable busi ness man who lias his private corre spondence addressed to the place where ho buys his cigars. There is no end to what might bo learned by those female letter carriers when once initiated into the business. They will also have the advantage of getting all their own mail direct from the hands of Uncle Sam himself , as it wore , and if an intornccino war among the carriers themselves could bo averted the girls might own the town. They would own it to such an extent that in a comparatively short space of time the mail bervico would bo practic ally crippled , and the postmaster would have so little confidence in his carriers thnt ho would bo obliged to deliver his own letters , oven if they were to go out of town. How Women Becomn Masons. Now York World : Tlio publication of this story that women have been allowed to poor behind the veil of mystery which envelopes Freemasonry has now added now inter est to the legend that once on a time a woman was initiated into the order. In the ollico of the grand secretary of the Grand ledge , in the Masonic temple , hangs an oil painting of a woman dressed in Masonic regalia. It was presented to Colonel Ehlors , and is a portrait of Hon. Mrs. Aldworth , thohoroino of this legend. She is t-a'd to have received about the year 1735 the first and second degrees of Freemasonry in Ledge No. 41 , Donorailo , Ireland. The circum stances of this initiation were first pub lished in Cork in 1807 , and it is claimed that they were substantiated by an oyo-witness to the ceremony. Subsequently they appeared in a memoir published by Spencer , the celebrated Masonic blblopolo , in Lon don. Mrs. Aldworth , nee Elizabeth St. Loger , was the youngest child and only daughter of the first Viscount Donorailo of Ireland. The ledge In which she was initiated was an aristocratic ledge consisting principally of the gentry nnd most res | > bctiiblo and wealthy in habitants of the country around Done railo. The I communications were usually hold in the town , but during the mastership of Lord Donorailo , brother of Mrs. Aldworth , the meetIngs - Ings wore hold ] at Donorailo house , his residence. Spencer relates this story of the atTnir : i "It happoned'on ' this particular occa sion that the ledge was hold in a room separated from unolhor by stud und brickwork , The young lady being giddy nnd thoughtless , determined to gratify her curiosityund made arrange ments accordingly. With a pair of scissors as she herself related to the mother of our informant she removed a portion of a brick from the wall , and placed herself so as to command a full view of everything which occurred in the next room. She thus witnessed the first two degress in Masonry , which was the extent of the proceedings of the ledge that night. "Becoming awuro from what she hoard that the brothorn were , about to sepa rata , she felt allvo to the awkwardness und danger of her situation und began to consider how she would retire with out observation. She became nervous and agitated and nearly fainted , but so far recovered herself as to bo fully aware c ( the necessity of withdrawing as quickly as possible. Being In the dark she btumblod and overthrew something - thing a chair or some ornamental piece of furniture. The crash was loud and the tiler , who was on the lobby or landing on which opened the doors both of the lodge-room , and that where the young lady was , gave the alarm , burst open the door , and , with a light in one hand and a sword in tlio other , appeared to the terrified and fainting lady , lie was soon joined by the members of the ledge present , anil luckily , for it is asserted that but for the prompt appearance of her brother , Lord Donerailc , and other cool mem bers , her lifo would have fallen a sacri fice to what was then esteemed her crime. Finally tlio matter was com promised by initiating the lady in the mysteries of Froomusonry , and from that time woinon became eligible to the order. Ijffe in tlio Whlto JlouHc. Milwaukee Sentinel : Perhaps lady readers might like to know something of the experiences which Mrs. Harrison will have when she reaches Washing ton as the wife of tlio president. Will she pack simply her trunks with wear ing apparel and move Into a house com pletely furnished and filled with beds and bedding , silver anil tnblowonr. servants nnd cooking utensils , or will all or any of these have to bo brought along or provided after she gets there ? That is a ( lucslion very often asked , and with it a good many others , as to horHes and carriages , coachmen and waiting-maids , cost of and payment for the necessaries f the kitchen and dining - om , etc. It is n curious fact that all the cabinet olH- cors are furnished with horbos and car riages nt government oxpom-o , but that the president is not. The cabinet otll- cors are furnished hordes , carriages and coaohtnon , and the horbes nro kept at government oxponbo. If the president want any of those things ho must sup ply them himself. There is a stable near the whlto house , built during Grant's time , with plenty of room for horses , but every president who comes finds it empty. And of course it costs him lots of money to fill it. Whoever sells a horse or cur- ringo to the president of the United States expects to got about y per cent more for it than ho would if ho sold it elsewhere. Of coni'bO the president must have three or four carriages and several houses. Whether Gondral Harrison risen will bring any with him or buy them is not known. Possibly ho will buy now carriages , and of course a pres ident's horsai must bo thoroughbreds. And ho need not expect much of thorn after ho gets through his term In the white house either , for Washington pavements are hard on hoi BOB , as Presi dent Cleveland's big soal-Drowns show. The president is also obliged to furnish his own ill1 Ivor. Albert Hawkins , a big colored man whom Grant brought hero before ho became president , is htill driving at the white house , as ho 1ms done over since Grant's term , nnd will probably bo re-engaged by Mr. Harri son , hut if ho doob it will be at Ins own expensefor the government does not pay Albert's salary. Inside the white house Mrs. Harrison will find employes waiting to bo ro-on- gagcd and paid for their borvicod. The steward , who lias charge of the kitchen nnd dining room , the various subordi nates who sweep and dust and cook and attend to the table and table wnro they nro all private employes. Down in the basement , if you puss at the proper time , you BOO the laundry work of the white liouao going on. All those employes are , however paid privately. Of course , there is n yearly appropria tion for the contingent expenses of the white house , but tins U intended more to keep up the furniture nnd furnish ings generally than to pay the cost of the president's living or the hire of his servants. One thing that Mrs , Harrison will find is a completely furnished hou&e solid silver , the finest of china , linen for the tables _ and bed chambers , ele gant furnishings in the parlors and fairly good in the private parts of the houbc. The private dining room is on the first floor , just across the hall from the state dining room This is the only room on the first floor used by the family of the president. The parlors are unod for callersand the on tire family or "living" rooms are on the second floor. There are , perhaps , half a dozen of these , sciircoly more ; a sitting room or two near to the circular "library room , " whore the president sits during his business and working hoursand several handbomely furnished bed rooms and dressing rooms. An elevator carries the family down-stair's at meal time , and when they go down for other uur- poses if they desire it ; as a rule they walk up and down the broad , easy and luxuriously carpeted stairs and through the handsome and always-attractive corridors riders which lead the way to the dining rooms and parlors on the first floor Tlioro they find everything ready , for tlio experienced steward is able to re lieve the mistress of the white house of all the cares of housekeeping if ho is well paid for it. IIOXKY FOIl THE LADIES. The Tosca stick gains favor slowly. Surnh lias gotio out as a material for under wear. Hound hats aa well as bonnets Imvo low crowns. Claret still holds its own as ono of the fa vorite reds. Many bridal dresses are being made In the directolro stylo. Silk stockings of a shining bronze color are the most Htylish. * Heavy veils nro much worn , to the detri ment of oyea and of health. Eiderdown petticoats are quite popular and will bo much worn this season. The long , round boas have given way In Paris to the boas with Hut onils. It Is said that white cloth dresses will bo much worn in I'ans this winter. Flounces , both gathered and plain , are worn upon some diessy costumes , Honnots made up In dark green velvet , with copper ornaments , uro very stylish. The practice of bleaching the hair to a palo yellow color is gaining ground In New York. Ulack veils covered with heavy black spots nro worn , hanging loose from the front of the hut. hut.There There is u decided tendency to dress chil dren from live to twelve years In Ureonawny gowns. Long sealskin cloaks uro giving away to the short sealskin Jacket. The Louis XV jacket j also In vogue again. Ono of the novelties in hosiery has n Van- ilyko point on cnoh side- formed of combina tions of letters in contrasting colors. Habits nro somewhat longer than they Imvo been of lato.

A new riding corset has boon Invented and is bnlim rather extensively worn among equestriennes. It i.s in ado of leather and Is very pliable. A novel use for the boa of fur , feathers or lace is to attach ono mul of It to the hut or bonnet in the back , bring it down to the nape of tlio neck , nnd twist it arouud the. thrcmt once or twice. ' 'PassomcntoVIo stockings" nro among the novelties la howlery , They are very showy , A handsome black stocking has the entire front wrought In whlto and gold beads In Mower patterns. The word trossoau no longer points exclu sively to matrimonial gaunonture , but Is now used to indicate any particular selection of costumes , whether for summer , winter seas Ido or for traveling. Women's new coats are either very loiigr or very short. The mantles of this season como to within an inch or so of the horn of the dress or elsa tire cut quitj short at the back and n few incho * lou gcr in front. There are now three women on tlio Now York board of school commissioners. Mrs. Agnew and Miss Grace H. Uadgo luvo baun on the board some time , but recently u third lady , Mrs. William G. Uico , linn been elected to a membership. The practice of American trades women who orgmii/o tnomsalvcs Into protec live a - soclations and unions seems to bo gaining ground everywhere. A vary largo society of this kind has Just been formed among thg factory girls of Viennn. The latest In fur capes is a combination of capo , collar , and a boa. The capo shelters the sticklers , the collar can bo turned up to the ears or down over the capo , and the liat boa completely cover * the chest , hanging down below the kneos. * BINGUIjAHlTlliS.
