"Show mo a girl's room and I'll tell
you what mat.nor of woman pho Is" is
an old saw in the woman's book ot char-
nctor study , and tlio other day , when
ushered into a room unlike any other in
the universe , It needed no oracle to nn-
IIOUDCO to a writer in the Now York
Sunthat it was the nest of a ladybird
with ideas and originality , a happy fac
ulty ot making tho'bcst of things , and
an artist by instinct if not by profession.
Tlio first thing to attract attention was
a wonderfully sunny window , with a
sash curtain of thin yellow sill :
covered with the soft gray
shadows of dancing vine loaves.
The window had an unpleasant outlook ,
and the ell It for Its decoration had boon
carried to a veranda , where a vine made
the shadow of its graceful loaves upon
the lloor. She had laid the silk down
where the shadows wore most perfect
and then had fixed them forever with
Heft gray water colors and gathered it
in her window sash. Bonoiith the win
dow she- arranged a little seat with a
yellow cushion , and draped across the
window polo and down one eido the
window a curtain of striped grenadine
winto , with yellow and dull blue and
olive In'the curtain. ISosldo It was a
revolving bookstand filled with maga
zines and now books. A white fur rug
Btrotchod out in front , and on this wore
more cushions , the heavy ones of which
form a scat.
Another thing to attract attention
was one of the gayly colored Guayaquil
hammocks draped acre s ono circle of
tlio room , making with its fringe and
t&ssols a brilliant decoration. Someone
ono had given the hammock to the
woman who didn't see a veranda from
ono summer to the next. But she had
ideas if she didn't have the veranda , BO
she put up hooks in diagonal corners of
the room and suspended the luxurious
web thereon whoa she wanted to forget
how busy she was. When not
in use more hooks simply draped
the bright netting against the wall.
And last of all was noticeable the dres
> sing table , which was made after the
old duchess fashion , ample and low
enough for its possessor to utilize , "rest-
fully sitting in the low white chair
which stood before it. The table was
made of a wooden frame , which she herself -
self designed , the top padded , covered
with nalo green silesla , and then with
doited muslin. All about was frilled a
curtain of the silcsia. with the muslin
over it. a Ihitcd frill at the bottom ,
another at the top.
The mirror was ono of the old-fash
t ioned kind , with the upper half a
picture , the lower _ ha'f a glass. There
were painted cupids in the picture and
the mufehn draped down each side of it.
On the table were the most delicate china
trays with ivory brushes inlaid with a
tiny cypher of silver on the back , and
china powder boxes and hairpin boxes ,
and all tlio paraphernalia of the toilol
in china receptacles , with ono or two
bits of ailvor"poliBhed to the last degree
of brightness. One couldn'tholp loving
the woman after oao glance at the toilet
table , which was the daintiest over ar
ranged , except the ono from which it
was copied , and which they will show
you still in the apartment of Mine , do
Rcmusnt. The bed was of brass with
white hangings over the faint green
linings , and with an old-fashioned val
ance of muslin beneath its counterpane
of white , with green ribbons threaded
in and out of its openwork border.

No mouth of the year is so distinct
ively children's month as is December.
From its beginning to its ending ,
says the Philadelphia Times , juveniles
own the streets , the shops , the homes.
Bless their little hearts ! Christmas
comes but once a year and if they can
not at least revel for thirty days in
anticipation of its coming and regret at
its going , why , then , lifo has become
much too prosaic and needs a moral
revolution to bet it in tune again.
The bachelor must bu very crusty , the
spinster very crabbed , and the man ot
woman of affairs very mjch engrossed
in worldly transactions that cannot stoi
for a moment to enjoy with the children
the happiness this season affords. Just
to look at the group of eager little folks
with faces pressed close against Eomc
window , whore toy soldiers form Jr
royal battalions , or a model farm yard
exhibits such adorable wooden cows IUIL
horses , is enough to make ono forgot all
the years that have rolled botweori the
time when they , too , wore wholly oa
grossed in the prospective visit of the
children's saint and the present , when
Santa Glaus , along with ether youthfu
illusions , lias been relegated to the haul
shelf in the cupboart1 of memory.
To hour the childish voices "choosing *
which doll , or bled , or trleyclo thoj
I * would ilka is a music that has no ininoi
undertone ) of root-row or jangling chore
of discontent. Even the very poor
whoso tiny stockings may bo loft hang
ing ounity on Christmas morning , can
not bo deprived of the wonderful sights
the shop windows allord , and which an
ito thorn a bourco of continual delight
making thorn forgot cold anil hungoi
even in the contemplation of some won
derful inbchanloal toy"or funny del
clown whose antics inixko tham laugl
and clap their benumbed lingers will
joy.Therefore
Therefore , if eager little arms pusl
you to ono side , or armies of little folki
obstruct the aisles or obscure the counters
tors , bo patient , remembering that t <
some these Bights freely offered are tin
only Christmas cHta they are likely ti
receive.

It was in 1607 thai Harriet Snugoi
daughter of J. Y. Sanger of Ottawn
111. , united her fate with the celebrate
George M. Pullman , who , though no' '
hia wealth estimated roughly at $40
000,000 , was simply in rather comforl

every luxury that life can give , and is
the happy mother ot two beautiful
daughters Florence , a tall , graceful
and dignified brunette , about 22 years
old , and Harriet , a bright , vivacious

educated In Now York and Paris , and
made their appearance in sociotv two
years ago. Besides the two daughters
Mrs. Pullman is possessed of twin sons

The whole answer to the question , iy
the health of tho-avorngo young woman
equal to the successful prOfUoutlon of
the work of a college course11 ! may bo
given In the briefest terms , writes Al
bert Shaw In the Review of Reviews.
The first duty of the college authorities
is to give ju t as careful a physical ex
amination for original entrance us their
examination Into the upHcant's | schol
arly proficiency ; and thotr next duty ,
the applicant having been admitted , is
to too that her advancement is sym
metrical , and that she is led across the
threshold of mature womanhood , as well
equipped by ren. on of bodily develop
ment us by thatof Intellectual" moral
development , for the full enjoyment of
life'd pleasures , tasks , and various
wholesome activities.
In the luUiro the question whether or
not a young woman's health is quite
safe at college will bo absurd. It will
bo absurd because one of the definitions
of a woman's college will bo : A place
where the health of young women is
sedulously and seionttlically guarded ,
and where her physical strength and
wollbolng are systematically developed.
Tangible progress toward this ideal
has boon made within a very few years ,
but as yet wo have only a beginning.
The colleges for young mon have quite
generally provided gymnasium facili
ties , and the larger ones have unpointed
competent instructors in physical cul
ture. None of them have as yet had
sulllciont enlightenment and plain com
mon sense to make the acquisition and
maintenance of good health a cardinal
and compulsory part of the college
com so. But our educational men will
come , to this point , in duo Benson. Mean
while , the colleges for women are beginning -
ginning to emulate the men's colleges
in their provision of gymnasium facili
ties , ana there come most encouraging
reports from several of them us to the
remarkably beneficial results shown by
the use of such moans of physical cul
ture as are available.
Travel in the far north has hitherto
been attempted only by mon , but the
year 1892 has witnessed the breaking up
of this monopoly. Mrs. Poary accom
panied her husband to a point farther
north than any white woman had over
before penetrated , and early last sum
mer Miss Elizabeth Taylor started from
Winnopeg for the Mackenzie river
'delta- and from this expedition she has
just returned. Miss Taylor Is by nature
a traveler , and by education an artist ,
and she is greatly interested in natural
history. She started on her trip alone ,
and niud(3 it alone , successful to the end.
She is the first woman explorer that
has over ventured into the polar regions
on her own-account , and with an amount
of pluck and steadfastness that would
hcvo done credit to a strong man she
has carried out nor program and com
pleted her round trip to the far north
ern forts of the Hudson Bay company.
Of the results of her trip wo can 'as
yet know only in a general way. This
much may bo said , however. Her
sketch booic is full of drawings , which
nro not only of great historical and
topographical interest , but also of a very
high order of artistic merit. In spite
of great disadvantages and continual
suffering from coarse food , incessant
attacks of insects , ill-health and sleep
lessness , induced by the perpetual day
light , she has averaged ever 11
drawing per day. llcr sketches
are only a small part of the re
suits achieved by this irdofatigablo girl
Greely. Her diary is as full as hoi
sketch book and her notes on the
dlll'crent aspects of nature are full anil
of great value. They are , moreover
admirably corroborated and amplillct
by some hundreds of _ photographs taker
by horsolf. In addition to all this Mia ;
Taylor has made a considerable collec
tion of natural historv specimens ant
when her results are in shape for pub
llcatlon an unusually interesting con
trlbution to our list of works on tin
great lone land will have been made.

The women are certainly forgint
ahead in educational matters. For sorai
reason they have got the impression
says the Now York Herald , that theii
brains are just as good as those of am
lord of creation , anil in order to prove i
they are taking prizes and accumulat
ing academic degrees in a way very dis
heartening to their male competitors.
