who is an excellent shot. I was shown the

the founcorners inirflnt und behind them
and tied ut u .distance . of perhaps six foot
away to n post. The ropes were loose enough
to permit them to move their loga up und

their hind logs.
1 .next visited the elephant .stables and
took n look at Iho twelve great elephants
which the rujah owns. Some of them are ns
big us Jumbo. They have great bruss
chains about tholr necks. Thnir tusks nro

With heavy brass rlncp. Ono of them us n

the invitation of the rajah's secretary I'took '
a ride yesterday .afternoon upon ono of 'them ' ,
I u anted to visit the ruins of the old palace
and City of Amber , which is located in the
hills nbout four miles from the city. An olo-

They protest that If they only hnd

solves.
What bettor chances tdo they want ?
0hb ? ° trndus are nil open , nnd so nro the (
professions. What moro can inon do
than say to them to oomo into competi
tion with 'thorn ' ?
You don't pay us as much for work as
you payiraon.
Skilled labor Is worth just so much ,
and If you acquire the skill and can turn '
out as much -work as a man .you "will got' '
just ns much pay for It.
The .reason ilmt men are 'paid larpor "
salaries for soiling dry goods Is because
every store. must keep allow .mon , and
these will not work lu a store for loss
than they can mike in n shop.
It .is the fault of women that mon are
kept in stores. You know tbat.you prefer -
for to bo waited on b.y 'gentleman '
when you go to buy a flress pattern ior a
pair of slices. There arc plenty of good
and true women who will not allow shop
girls to wait on them. JSoro ia just the
reason that mon have to "bo kept in
stores , and they mU3t"be paid according
to what tboir time is worth.
Another reason is that girls 3o not
take the interest in 'business that mon
do. Nine out of every ton salesladies are
such because they have to earn their
livings , and they are sere about-it. 3f
they were not compelled to ido it they
wouldn't think of .engaging in such
menial employment.
You cannot expect any < ono , man or
woman , to become proficient in a busi
ness for which dy mvo no .liking.
"Whenever women ] make their time
moro valuable thnn it UH now they will
got better salaries. ' "As it is there nro
a dozen applicants for any vacancy oc
curring in a store or school , which has
n tendency to 'lower salaries. This is
one of the laws of domestic economy ,
and it can novqrbo ) repealed. Scarcity
of a product or af a class of laboriraisos
the price , while1 a surplus Tcduces it.
When baminas'nrq 'plenty you can buy
them for 10 cents' a db/cn ; when scarce
they cost 25 cents.
The trouble with women seems to bo
that they cannot'roalizo that tbo laws
of trade or of 'domestic or political
economy apply 'ToVphem . as they , do to
men. In ino Busrnc"aswor'ltt , , a woman
is a machine jugt 1hol sa'mo as a man ,
and she-will Lepaid accorSing to what
hor.timc.ist worth to her.
If women want to enter the business
world , they must take an interest in
business , study business methods , and
observe the laws governing business.
Those laws are as inexorable as the
laws of iiatiu-a.and will .not change to
suit the comfort or convenience
either woman or man.
Why don't women monopolize the
millinery and dry goods business of the
country ?
There is no state or national law
which prevents them from so doing.
They can build or rent storqrooms , and
manufacturers will not hesitate to sell
them nil the goods tnpy want , providing
they are reasonably certain that they
will ( get paid for them. There ffco
women with wealth enough to Btart in
usinoBS with as fair jiroapootsiof .suc
cess as the average man.
Why don't they do it ?
Simply because they proforliving on
the income from their ononey rather
than doing business.
There is the secret of the whole
truth. Those who are working for
wages wouldn't do so if they were not
compollnd to do it , and what work tl y
do is done under protest. Such worlc is
rarely well done.
"Vita I'rottlmt Autrcns in I'nrls.
Thirty years ago the prettiest woman
in Paris wasUlancboPioraon ; now it is
Mile. 'Dopoix , says a Paris letter to the
Philadelphia Tunes. The first was fair
the second is dark ; tbo fust , even inner
nor youth. huH tha dimpled plumpness
Which unluckily "became vexatious obe
sity ; the second IB slender and thin , all
mubclo , . without a suspicion of Jatnoas
just a duo covering of Jloslhouihur. bonus.
The -fact iSjibbo is pretty , distinctly and
charmingly pretty ; with dark hair
clinging to her forehead , clear , deep
eyes , very black eyebrows arttwn with
a single stroke of a iiiastorlB hand ; a
long , oval jfaco , and something Hwcot
and maidenly and yet nunsuul in Ihor
whole , iin:8on : , and utjovo all tlieidistinu-
tion waieh ppomisus 'a woman of 'tho
world. There is no trace , no sign of the '
froo-und-etiBy airiness which stamps the
common aobreea ; everything about'hor
is closo-fitting , oloso-buttonod , nuutand
in good rttisto ; .nothing to catuli the eye
or divert attention fit ) in that charming

witchery , noeds'n'oMrills or turbolows.
It has found its pfopWr setting a stamp

What wo see on tliooboards when she

in the now style hat' which IB cot tain to

says the Now Yoi-Jo-Prosa.
The clever akin specialists say they
have solved the problem with their
now complexion masks , which are
nothing "but stiff false faces with which
woiiro ail familiar , minus the paint ,
and lined with white canton ihinnol ;
they como in difToront si/.es BO that
every kind of a faco..can bo fitted.
Upon retiring , the would-bo beauty
carefully covers her face with u cream
that is nropard for blcuuhing and soft
ening the skin , adjusts the ribbons that
confine the mask and "leaves nature to
do the rest. " The heat produced by
the -unaccustomuil covering opens
the poroa of the skin , which
readily absorbs the cronm , and by the
next morning the results bogm to bo
apparent. The musk need not ho worn
every night twice a wool : is consid
ered sutllciont to kuop the face inper
fect order -unless tboro Is unusual ex
posure.
The hands have also boon looked
nftor , and whan the saleswoman has
fitted your mask she will bring out
another daintily tinted box containing n
oroam for the hands , differing from the
face oroam In that it Is stronger , nnd a
pair of modlciltod undressed kJdiglovos ,
unusually heavy nnd with extra wide
fingers , BO thnt the circulation will not
bo Impeded ; the gloves must bo worn
every night in order to obtain satisfac
tory results. '
Good-by to the Did mismatched gloves
with the lingers oaroful cut oft that have
heretofore whitened the plump little
hands of the summerTaollo , for nbo-wlll
uovor droain of using thorn ngaln nftor
