It waitxtllMt thought thnt Miss Ivtiowloa was elected , mid the statoniont that she win elected found apioo in almost nil ousturn papora. Ever siuoo then Miss Kuowlos has boon forc-id to consutno many hours onch day in perusing her voluminous correspondence. botno of 'tho letters are merely letters of con- prnlulalton from hlh-inliidod { women in vivrloua parts of the country and tnou . in favor of women's BUlTr.itro. But a largo portion of the loiters nro from mon who want to marry her. It IB safe to say that no woman wns ever honored by so many of- lors of muri'lairo ns Miss Knowlos has received In the past live \vuelt9. Most of the mon nro willing to mnrry lior tin- night nnd un&ocn. Hut n Dubucjuo man , in n very complimentary letter , which only hints at matrimony , propoaos that they exchange photographs.

In the long and brilliant line of Amer ican liturary women there will always stand out very prominently two women of the name of Eli/.aboth Stuart Pholps. The llrst waa born in Andover nearly seventy years ago , and died at the ago of ! J7. Ho ; dmightor , upon whom the mantloof her mother's genius foil , wns also born in Andovor. She had her liist story published when she was 13 years old , and since flho was 11) ) she has supported hor- aolf by her pen. She was 110 when "Gates Ajar" gave her fame , and she is now only -10 , though because of the long time she has boon before the public sbo iscoramorily supposed to bo older. Her face remains young and full of color. 'Mrs. Pholpa-Wnril writes very slowly and with painstaking care. All of her literary work is clone between 9 a. m. unil 1 p. m. , aniTsho r.iroly in ono day writes enough to lill half a column of a daily newspaper. Sometimes the amount produced is hardly half 'of that , nnd it is all carefully rovloed and ro- writlon until it is entirely satisfactory. 4t 4t There has boon a decided change In the styles of evening footwear this sea son. The black silk stockings and suede Bllppors which have boon so much worn for some seasons past are partly super seded by stockings and slippers which , match the gown. The slippers may be made of satin or suede kid , but the now- cst slippers are of glae.o kid. They arc shown in ivory white , pale rose tints , lluo , violet and all the shades of even ing dress. They are sharply pointed in Piccadilly fashion at the too , and raised on a Lout's Quin/.o heel about an inch and a half. The only ornament is a tinj Imcklo or slide , as it is termed by the phoo dealer , of brilliant rhlnestono 01 Parisian jots to match the color of tlu kid. kid.For For general house wear a paten1 leather Oxford tlo , with a pointed too low heel and straight tip , oruainentei with perforations at the scams , is Vro qucntly chosen in place of the O.xforc tlo of kid so long worn. The favpriti walking boot has the sharply pointm too , and is cut considerably higher till season than the boot has been worn fo BOHIO time. It thus protects thovankl thoroughly in case ot sloppy weather It > is made of line calkskin , with ; at might or pointed tip of the sann leather.

Amonp the Clare raca of Ab < * atn , in northeast India , it id not only the privilege , hut oven the duty of the girl there to apeak llrst. Ono of the prettiest of young girls' drcssoa Is made of soft gray wool brocaded with a glossy Httlo llguro ilol unlike silk In ofTccU Thrco sltnplo llltlo llounccfl made on the bias and ot Iho matorlal donblod appear en the skirt. The sleeves are sewed In with n double rufllo , ono frill falling over the sleeves , the oilier turned toward the neck. This latter is'ot the material cut on the bias and calhored in circular form lo cover the shoulder. The waist Is gathered into a band that llnlshes straight across from shoulder to shoul der , leaving a Httlo upstanding rulllo. Prom the lower edges of the gathered shoulder a ' .mmd salin ribbon falls part way to the holt , turns there In the form of a litllo jacket , and pause * , under the arms to tie In a rosette In the center of the back. From this rosette two long ends are brought round to tlo in front in fi bow with long ends , the ends tying again toward the bottom of the skirt. Another picturesquely simple gown to bo worn by a smart girl undorgrjul- ualo of a woman's collage co'obratod for a high dross Ideal , is ot dull b.ouxo grooti velonr , and has for its only orna ment a girdle of Russian embroidery , gold ombroldorcd , on a palo blue ground. A band of the same trimming biiri-ounds the neck , cut just low enough lo show a line little chain of gold tied in a knot in front , the onda lipped with small pearls. One of the nfnny great schooners ply ing between San Francisco nnd the ports on the opposite side of the bnv is owned nnd managed by a woman. Some years ago Mrs. Sims' father became an invalid and was obliged to put his ship ping business In the hands of an agent. Through the dishonesty and careless ness of agents the business had ceased to bo prolltablo , whoa Mrs. Sims deter mined to go on deck hursolf , nnd since then has person ally superintended the stevedores and Iruckmon , bossed the gang of sailo.-s , given orders to the captain and mnnageu the entire business to keeping tally of the raw hides lhat not infro- que'ntly form part of the cargo , negoti ating for the ttlgboats and superintend ing repairs at dry dock. Syracuse , N. Y. , has another successful business woman , in rather a different line. Several - oral yeard ago this woman's husband failed in business , and on account of poor health was unable to support his family. Assuming the burden of the family she began in a small way to knit goods for the wholesale trade , and is today , through good management , a prosperous manufacturer , employing 1,000 women at work which ir.ay in most cases bo done at homo. * t A woman who is an active worker in a Brooklyn church has been regularly appointed assistant to the p.istor. Docs not this suggest , says the Now York Tribune , a new field for woman's activ ity ? There are a number of women ministers in the country in the west especially thoyhavo been successful and popular but a woman as an assistant pastor appears to bo a novelty. In the Hrooklyp church , as wo understand it , she is not expected to preach , but to as- sibl in the distinctively pastoral woric of the church. For the right sort of woman largo opportunities of usefulness would thus be opened. The majority of church members , however , are women , and is it. not juat possible that some of them might not take Kindly to the idea of an assistant pastor of tlioir own sex ? * x * # The roconl death of Miss Mary Allen West in Tokio , Japan , provokes the Portland OVoironian to remark that it was the nocdless sacrifice ot a bravo and noble life to so-called temperance work. While the event is greatly regretted - grotted , it will not bo without profit if it reaches young women of a self- sacrificing spirit that it is not neces sary to go to a foreign land and grap ple with an enervating climate , foul odors and fetid atmosphere in order to lind a field in which to work. The very Idea of American women going to China or Japan to engage in temper ance work is absurd. There is plenty ' to do at homo for all who think tha't pr.iyor is an antidote for drunkenness and' feel called upon to work in that lino. The pity of Miss West's death is the folly that induced it. * 41- * A melancholy tale ot domestic in felicity is being aired in a Uhodo Island divorce court. The cause of action dilTe > * s from the common , and illustnUof what ono man dubs the disastrous clVeel of dress and muscular reforms on woman. G. Walt Stetson , an artist o note in Providence , accuses his wlfo Charlotte Perkins Stetson , of being t "crank" on dross and physic il reform and with appea ing in public withoul corset , boollfoolH or waist bolt. To his arlisliu mind this is shocking. But he was disposed to forf-ivo and forgot if nlu drew Iho line thorn. Instead , she bugui preaching Ucllnmyism in addition tc dress reform , and plunged onto the ros truin , determined to smila the shackle : which make American women "slaves to fashion. " Under Uio circumstances Stetson feels justified in asking tin court to remove his matrimonin shackles. * A lady living in Paris , and writlnj to a young friend in America whet planning her gowns for an Hauler wool wedding , duya : "Havo every dress yo uro going to wear Indoors made with train more or loss long , according t I the occasion for which it IB designed but have your walking , ahoping ant t traveling gowns ( made mostly o cumol'8-lmlr serge nnd scotch twcoil plain -In oiled , loaning toward Dime lory style in their outline , and so slim that the ahino of your pretty llltl walking shoos cim be seen even froi the back.

A now skirt trimming is a threu-lneli rulllo of velvet , a silk with a narrow trimming of black satin forming fns- teens on the rufilo. The satin is a bins piece gathered on both edges In a Hut puff , nml put on with scanty fulness directly on1'the rufllo. This trimming appears on many of the now skirts.

It was a street dress with a round overslcirt , just such as you wore a dozen to fourteen years ago. A reddish brown serge was the material , very heavy and with a black thread running through it diagonally . The skirt had a broad sable band lying on the floor at the bottom , nnd the overskirt was plaited under ( ho basque bodice and out perfectly straight and round , with fur enough to weight it and carry out its assumption of dignity. The bodice was out square at the waist and turned back from a wliito muslin plastron in great triangular , fur-edged , white velvet revers ; these mooting below the bosom to allow the bodice fastening of three big black velvet buttons. Under the came little shoulder fur-bor revers a capo , - dered , and with the frock belonged a big flat black velvet hut trimmed with bows of black ribbon. A corrijii or CHAUMIN'O noincr.s.

At a morning concert yestei-day 1 could not help noticing how many women wear the close little Marie Stewart bonnet that Is Just the merest close fitting c.ip of velvet with an antique touch. iimint ] and piquant in its effect on some faces , not so successful always. A geranium red silk warmed the day In front of me. I don't know why people shouldn't wear red to concerts if they choose , but the old conservative that hides In some corner nf me nlways persists ill finding it unusual. This particular red gown hud a double skirt edged with cocks' fenlhets , bhick. burnished and hinting of green. H hud a round waist that fastened with three jet buttons , and it hud , moreover , wide square ruvors lhat passed over the shoulders and made n hood behind. These revers had feather edgings , and above them set a black felt hat that was trimmed with cocks' plumes. Off at on" hide sat a woman in a peculiarly novel frock of a cindery gray cloth with a deep border of llame-colored velvet about the foot , softened on cither ediio with a line of gray ostrich niching. The bodice had n pointed front of llery velvet , 1th its gray and feathery mnoko fringe. The back was shirred at shoulders and waist , and the long skirt lay. as no walking dress has any moral fight to He along the floor. All this smoke and blaze had as its llery crown a liny gray turban with red wings. It has a relief after that bit ot pyrotech nics to turn to a gray and blue plaid frock that had H seal a row or two bohind. Over the princess rene that silt so demurely , ab sorbed In the music , two lengths of gray bilk wore draped and caught up to show the uaderdress with silver buttons and heavy silver cords. The broad rovers df the bodice were of old blue silk and their points were so deep as almost to meet In the middle of the back behind. A big flat gray-velvet hat was the finish , trimmed with blue velvet and an iridescent wing. Some dresses are pretty nnd some dresses practicable. A gown that succeeded reason ably well in being both was a brown camel's hair with three rows of blue velvet about tlio foot , edged with silver fox fur. The bodice was shirred Into a deep folded velvet girdle , and again at the throat into a velvet yoke , from which fell a deep gathered collar of fur-bordered wool.A three-cornered hat of brown felt was worn with blue plumes standing erect in properly rampant fashion.
