Woman lias como to unanimous con-
Hustons about her waist that HIO llkos
Jit small ; about bcr foot that she likes
pit Blender , and of these HIO ! gives proof
flaily. Hut wholhor shoulders ought to
Sxs broad or small , Bquaro or sloping , slio
probably has made up her mind , but will
Jiot tell. Some exports have given the
Ivorldtho results of their Inquiries in the
form of very doilnito measurements , and
( voman listens , indeed , but keeps her own
lounsel. Slio oven conforms for a time ,
lind dresses HO that ono might believe
| , ho had accepted the dogma of art and
linutoiny. But insensibly or suddenly ,
lis her mood may bo , who reverts , and
I ho reversion is so generally to broad
[ 'boulders ' that wo begin to suspect that
myslology und the conventional sculptor
ivijl bo beaten at last , and that woman's
Kecrotopinlon really is that hershouldcrd
} ire her greatest breadth.
The making of her sleeves decides
{ everything. And just now , upholstered
lin her green velvet , she is htu'ing her
Twill to perfection , and giving us reason
bto believe that height , grace , slender-
Incss , gone-al outline all are nothing to
[ the feminine mind compared with the
triumph of ample shouldcr.s.
When nature has given a long neck
[ that good gift should at least be made
tvlsiblo. It curries the head and bets
Wrco the shape of the chin , and loads up
| to well massed hair with a dignity that
f nothing can achieve without it. But it
Is inevitable that what is gained in ono
[ length should bo lost in another. No
j woman can have relatively the long
( neck , long waist and longUmbs that she
I may desire separately. Kuch is desirable
'
ble , but inasmuch as' each length exists
I only in proportion to another length
[ each must bo possessed alone ,
j After all , art is not unanimous. Feminine -
[ nine shoulders are largo in the Parthenon
f pediment , small in Giwco-Konmn sculp
ture , small and highly bred with Gains-
i borough , Bquaro and heroic with Mr.
DuMuurier. Jtuphuol lias several types ,
but for bis celestial Galatea ho chooses
shoulders a little narrow , but rounded
and free. The shoulders of his Graces
are decidedly light und Gruco-Jtoman ; ;
these of the Sistine Madonna are square
and very broad ; tlio neck is long , but
the collar bone goes up u little toward
the shoulder a form that denotes
physical strength. Sir Joshua Reynolds
never varies from the long gradual
slopo. It is the patrician line of the
'
day , and a lady was bound to have it ,
whatever might be the form of goddess
1 or flshwifo. Nor is literature altogether
agreed. Villon is for small shoulders ,
and all his Mioeossors in French lilera
turo , writing of the .squarest women in
the world , write in pi also of sloping
shoulders. Kpaulos do porte-manteau
are the reproach of the French woman-
it porto-manteau being that little high-
shouldered contrivance which is hung
inside a wardrobe or by itself for the
carrying of cloaks and capes. Anna
Karenina had sloping shoulders as the
most conspicuous of her graces.
Often in passing the dull windows of
house fronts , says a popular writer , I am
reminded of a conversation overheard
f between two women , tourists , standing
l-ln front of Uuekinghum palace. The
| eyes of the younger woman were fixed
on the gay equipages of the nobility and
gentry which were In line on thoh
I way to the queen's drawing room , but
T the elder of the two was gazing at the
[ windows of the palace.
[ "Well , " she remarked at last , will
I homely American force , ' "I don't think
I much of Queen Victoria's housekeeping
( Jest look at them winders ! the shades
[ thrashed clear to the top in ono , anil
J pulled clean to the bottom in another ,
II and all askew all over the house ! ant"
i the winders themselves don't look cleat
o my way of thinking. "
The old woman in all probability had
I never heard the story current in Kng-
( land anent these same windows , which ,
as she remarked , are not kept very
i clean.
The story goes this way : The lord
I high chamberlain who has charge of
the outside of the palace is always at
| loggerheads with the lord high clmm-
i lain who has charge of the inside of the
I palace ; therefore , they will not have
i windows washed on the snino day , and
I jis a consequence the two sides of the
] putio are nuvor clean at the same time.
The old woman was right in her esti-
Ltito of housekeeping ; the front of a
Blouse , especially the windows , is the
iirst concern of a good housekeeper. It
| H surprising that women do not more
f fton adopt the method used by jtoro-
L'keopors for cleaning and polishing gluss.
SI have tried it myself for Mivorul months ,
hind found it especially valuable during
it-old weather , when it would not be prac-
Jticablo to use water outside. I tibo it
[ both in and out.
Provide yourself with common ulcohol
' and whiting ; make the cloth dump , but
1 not wet , with the liquid , then dip it into
tlio whiting. Hub the glass as if you
would if using foau and water. Polish
with chamois. Windows cleaned in this
manner will shine and sparkle , and will
keep clean much longer than if done in
the old laborious way of washing and
, rinsing and wiping und polishing.
Next after clean glass como neat
, blindCH.
To keep shades from streaking dust
' , them every time the room i swept. Do
i this by drawing the shade down to its
I full length and using a feather duster
I along the front and oor the roller. As
I you roll up the shade keep on dusting
[ the roller. You will by this means
[ brush both sides , for they roll up from
I the outside.
Cure should ulf > bo taken now that
I the season of open windows and sudden
! showers are at hand that when windows
wro opened from the ton the shades shall
Ixj tightly rolled , otherwise they will bo
[ spotted before you are awuro.

And now a Brooklyn lady Is reported to
I bo actually fond of spiders ; U Is true ,
jund bho has Indulged the fad for several
I years. Her special pet is n handsome
V arachnid with striped legs and n reddish
Jbody. This creature , which Is of a
[ species that makes a funnel shaped web ,
lis dobcribcd bv her as being very tame ,
lit spun its web over her bed and rested
jttiere comfortably for days , allowing its
[ mistress to examine its delicately con-
Istruclud house. In the home where this
j creature lias spun its web there exists no
danger to its kind , as the mistress pro-
fleets each und every spldor seeking an
i abiding pluco under the porch , in corners -
nors of the cellng or iudark corners ol
the closets. Sue Is very partial to
[ spiders and never destroys ono nor ite
| neb unle s compelled to do so. A visitor
In her parlor was surprised ono day at
j oeing a spldor drop from the celflnjj
suspended by a long cbaln of webbing
and rest directly In front of her face. 11
I is uoodluSH to suv that u slight screairj
1 i nucd from the lips of the woman and a
i sudden movement ou h r prt caused
the spldor to Immediately climb up Ills
rope and hasten to a place of safety. The
husband of this spider defender must bo
a curiosity. What kind of a man must
ho bo who wojld live In a room with
fifty or more spiders ?
Men in some cases are Indulgent , but
I think almost every man would draw
the line at spiders letting themselves
down right before him from the celling
by a ! threadlike wnb , and with a seem
ing desire to shako hands with him ,
With fifty spiders in ono room , as in
the case of. the Brooklyn woman , this
'
might occur at any mom'ont.
It often happens that mothers who arc
most careful are almost neglectful of
some of the vital points of child train
ing , not designedly so , of course , yet just
as cruel results follow from this mode of
action as though they wore , and the de
fects are none the less apparent in their
children. The neglect comes from over
doing , in supplying this and that dcsiro
which the child might supply himself
and thus cultivate independence.
Children need to bo loft to think for
themselves in their plays. An occas
ional general suggestion is far better for
them than a constant director and waiter.
The wise parent , while helpful beyond
the child's ability , does not do for him
what ho can do for himself , but , rather ,
by a studied neglect develops his self
reliance , without which he can never
successfully cope with life.
Now Jersey is to have a fine exhibit in
the woman's department of the World's
fair , and it is all duo to the untiring ef
fort and enterprise of Miss liusscllo and
Mrs. Compton. the commissioners. The
state has been thoroughly canvassed ,
and every item of information that re
dounds to the credit of New Jersey
women has been carefully noted and
worked up.
Miss Busscllo has had in charge every
thing pertaining to industrial pursuits.
She found 40,000 women working in the
factories alone in her state. Mrs. Comp
ton lias investigated the philanthropy of
the state in all its details. The latter is
a Now England woman , a direct descend
ant of Jonathan Edwards. She is a
highly cultivated lady , a resident of
Newark , and an active member of Soro-
sis. She recently made a trip to Chicago
in the interest of the "fisherwoman's
exhibit , " upon which Mrs. Palmer set
the seal of her approval , saying she
"preferred for her own private ollicothe
ornamentation made by the iishorwomon
' the embroideries and paintings by
vomen who have a contempt for the
nimbler vocations of life. " Thlsexhibi-
ion of the work of the fishcrwoinen is

A delightful pink luncheon was given
few days ago by a clover , artistic-
linded woman. The cloth was of pure
vhito damask , with an exquisite silk
cart of the daintiest roue-pink drawn
.cross the center. At either end was a
mall cut glass lamp with pink silk
hades , and as daylight was excluded
hose lamps gave a soft , low light most
lecomlng to the assembled guests and
mrmonlzltig with the entire tone of the
'ccorations. Pink satin ribbons wore
'cstooncd from the chandelier and from
ho four corners of the table , whore
. .hoy . were fastened with stilt butterfly
bows. The napkins wore tied with
iatln ribbons and at each plate was a
argo bunch of La Franco roses tied
with wider ribbons. The tine china was
decorated \ \ ith a dainty pattern of rose
buds. The lingorbowl doylies were
inido of bolting cloth , with a sprig of a
ese painted on each. The menu was
.ho following :
Consomme.
Oysters. Horacradlsh.
French chop. ' Peas and voruaiso potatoes.
KBS salad , with nmyomilse dressing- .
Nescroldo pudding.
Cake. Coffee. Fruit.

Ledyard , the great tiaveler , says that
among all nations women adorn them
selves more than men , but that when
ever found they are the same kind , civil ,
'lumano and tender beings , inclined to
bo cheerful , timorous and modest. Ho
: ias found the women on the plains of la
unsuitable Denmark , through honest
Sweden , frozen Lapland , churlish Fin-
"irid and unprincipled Russia more hos
p'.tablo and generous than men , full of
courtesy , fond of society , but industrious ,
economical and ingenious. And when
ever the traveler , in the language of de
cency and friendship , has asked a ques
tion of any woman , civilized or savage ,
io has always received a decent and
friendly answer , while with men it is
often otherwise.

Says a trained nurse : ' 'Don't let the
patient see the preparations for any little
tlo coining duty in the sick room. I've
known persons weak from long illness
become positively exhausted from seeing
the arrangements to make the bed , per
haps , goin forward. I nursed a woman
once , relieving her daughter , and she
confessed to mo the week after my ar
rival that the relief in the way 1 man
aged the replenishing of the open lire
was alone worth ray salary. 1 brought
the coal in from the hall outside always
when she was asleep , wrapping it in a
cloth , and , of course , putting it on piece
by piece with my hands gloved.
' ' 'You have no idea how I have
dreaded the coaling process , ' she said.
My daughter had the coal scuttle stand
ing ready , and as I would note the lire
growing low I would dread for an hour ,
perhaps , that crash of coal which scorned

Loving care cannot always bo trained
care , and it is the latter a sick person
needs.

A few days ago a Brooklyn mother
called her little daughter to her and
said :
"Gracto , I expect a lady to dine with
mo today. Now , if you say anything
about , her nose while she is hero I shall
punish you severely. " Gracie promised
to bo good , and the visitor arrived.
Everything went well until the cloth
was being removed for the dessert.
There is always an awkward Interval
in the conversation at such times , and
for a few moments there was the usual
silence. Suddenly a woe , small voice
broke forth :
"Mamma , you told mo not to say any
thing about the lady's noso. Why , slio
hasn't got any ! " Tableau !

Baroness Wilson , a celebrated Spanish
writer , has completed her second tour
through South America. MexicoCentral
America and the United States. The
baroness is a great traveler as well as a
writer , and spent fifteen years in these
countries , studying the people and their
history. As u result she has published

tions ou her , and every means in their
power waa placed within her reach to

The etiquette of Chicago hostesses
the coming summer Is , it seems , pre
senting itaolf to some of them , Said
ono the other day : "My homo Is to bo
filled almost from .May to November , I
have 'made dates.1 nt the theatrical men
say , for weeks ahead , and there are
enough more of incidental guests to fill
In the few unoccupied weeks. And now
I propose to start with my first relay and
let them understand that It Is going to
bo out of the question for mo to guide
them about the fair. As I am able and
feel the desire , I shall go , but to act as
perpetual cicerone 4 cannot , " and cer
tainly , it may bo added , no sensible
visitor will expect it.
Lace of every kind Is now made by
machinery in such perfection that even
oxjMjrts can scarcely tell the difference
between the hand made and the machine
product. There is , however , a delicacy
ab ml the hand imvlo laca that the ma
chine can never equal , and although the
machine made product is so cheap as to
bo within the reach of alnnst any one.
and so beautiful as to challenge criti
cism , the demand for the fine hand tUado
laces has not in the least diminished ,
and the prices paid are ai high as ever.
Notrs.
Some of the now skirts have a very
wide box plait at the middle of the
back.
Largo hats literally loaded with
ostrich plumes are to bo worn during the
spring.
With a dross of changeable goods , as
a rule , the glove should match the
darker shade.
Pretty straw hats in palo violet are
trimmed with gold Inco , green velvet
and a single pink rose.
Widows' bonnets have strings of
corded white ribbon , dull in finish and
nearly a linger broad.
Seamless bodices , flaring skirts and
distended sleeves sum up the fashions
for the present moment.
The now veilings are in so many old
designs that by the time they were
fully described they would cease to bo
novelties.
Black Inco fans are now worked in
steel , and have handles of smoked pearl ,
the duchosso lace fans being mounted
with mother-of-pearl.
Bright scarlet blouses are displayed ,
and are to bo worn with black beaded
zouaves , having lace epaulettes and
bows on the shoulders.
The many navy blue traveling and
outing suits that will bo fashionable this
summer should be worn with dark red
gloves in harmonious contrast.
Plumotis , a French dotted Swiss , \yith
inted designs , is one of the dainty things
uro to form at least ono gown in the
rardrobo of the real summer girl.
Figured , shot and striped olTects are
dded to the plain ribbed textiles of a
ear ago. Some have satin stripes in
ich colorings about two inches apart.
The "chatelaine" sleeve , drooping in
oft folds from the shoulder to the little
ai'ing culT which falls over the hand , is
'lie ' of the most graceful of the prevalent
tylos.
Blouses , which are in reality only
lightly loose bodices , are made with or
dthout a silk back , as you may decide ,
.nd . are designed to bo worn beneath the
lopular jacket.
A novelty in trimming is shirred satin
ibbon sot in graduated groups. There
re about six widths of ribbon in six
Istinct bands or groups of trimming on
.ome . of the now skirts.
Prof. Vambory has boon lecturing on
ho "Fashion of Languages" before the
Bnda-Pesth English club. English , ho
laid , may now bo called the most fashion-
: iblo language in all the five parts of the
tvorld.
Duchesso lace is at present the height
f fashion , and deep gathered berthas of
t fall downward from many low bodices.
Marie Antoinette fichus are introduced
uliko on morning and evening dresses ,
.ying at the back.
For an ordinary sot of plain handker
chiefs a single initial , quite small and
lorfectly simple in form , Is in excellent
asto , and would form an easy beginning
'or those who are not yet very skillful or
experienced in the work.
There is a now material called china
noussolino. It is twenty-four inches
wide and of the most exquisite fineness ,
and is quito transparent. It is not harsh
like the other silk muslins , but has all
the softness of china Crepe.
The new Liberty scarfs are simply
.vide scarfs of silk muslin in palo rose ,
ilollcato blue , or violet or any dainty
color. Slender maidens drape these ,
ichuliko , around their shoulders , and
io them in a bouffant bow in front.
The latest for an elderly lady Is a
church bag which shall hold prayer-
book , spectacles , handkerchief , and
purse. Make of silk or velvet as you
may find in the shops , and line with
either ermine , purple or a deep crimson.
Gray and tan shades will take the
place of the black stockinjjs which have
been the correct thing for so long a
while. Indeed , the shopkeepers say
that a return to white is not at all un-
ikoly , and orders are being placed look-
ng to that end.
Violet perfume Is first favorite just
now in powders , liquid perfume and
bath use. Many a bath is now a costly
luxury , owing to the delicacy of the
perfume poured into it. All articles of
dross may bo perfumed with the delicious
.achot . powder.
The new hats for children are largo
fiats of fancy straw and chips. They
will bo trimmed with ribbons and flowers
in simple , childish manner. Whore an
elaborate hat is required white leg
horns promise to bo popular , trimmed
with flowers or white tips.
For graduation , pretty inexpensive
gowns should be worn. Heavy silks and
satins are not in keeping with fresh
young faces , and in many cases the talk
about the elegant graduation dresses of
the wealthy Induce some pupils of scanty
means to drop out of school just before
the closing exorcises.
Ono of the now colors of the season is
oriental red , which appears in most of
the new fabrics. It is a handsome dye ,
between a deep crimson rose and a rich
dahlia color. It is alike becoming to
dark and fair women and also to the
neutral-toned typo. It is a hue so sub
dued that It is not in the least conspicu
ous.
ous.Tho full blouse , be it over so fashion
able , should never bo worn by any but
lithe and slender figures. For by the
very formation of Its lines it adds to the
girth of the waist and detracts In some
little , at least , from the length which It
Is desirable before all else that over-
plump women should cultivate to its
uttermost extent.
Many beautiful gold and silver belts
with handsome buckles are shown , some
of them incrusted with gems , but these
ate expensive trifles which every girl is J
not fortunate enough to possess. The
various leather belts in snnko , alligator ,
doe wid antelope skin , mounted prettily
in silver , with buckles or side clasps ,
form a stylish finish to a round waist.
Double skirts are coming In again and i
a good example of this style was a surge
bordered with a crosscut hollaud band ,
edged on either side with oriental em
broidery. A similar band bordered the
toj ) of the skirt , which fastened over thf
bodice , and this for out of doors had a
kilt-plaited capo , which foil back and
front , but not over the shoulders.
Important as dogs are in some Amori
can homoj they are Jar moro so in the
Parisian hMUohoUlHtnd their coats of
many colors are tho"j , y and wonder of
the beholder. .TowotFj- , too , has of late
bucomo n fad with tfu > i doggies , and the
black canlches are now sporting little
chain bangles studdtj/l / Mth Rhinestones
on the front paw , jiM -above the frill of
fur. The effect Is qv > ? } > stunning.
Light summer fabric-t which are now
being made up in quantities by modistes
have round French bddlcos without darts
or side forms , and artnlraped In surplice
fashion , both hack K d front. Some
times these waists arc" Very full and are
draped from the right shoulder to the
loft underarm scanl with a soft , wide
corselet reaching well up under the
arms all around the figure.
The little collet capes are certainly
much in vogue , and form a charming
addition to a spring toilet , whether
made of the same material ivs the dresser
or some contrasting shade , or black. A
stylish model is in black silk. The front
has white satin rovers covered with
exquisite guipure. A wide double rulT.
lined with white satin , furnishes the
upper part.
A pretty dress of black bongallno is
arranged "with a plain skirt trimmed
round the hem with throe narrow crossway -
way flounces , each one sot rather widely
apart from the other. The high bodice
has full sleeves and rovers of myrtle
green velvet , and to wear with this as a
complete walking costume is a pretty
green velvet cape , finished with a short
shoulder cape , very fully plaited.
A novelty in shoos for evening wear is
made of heavy satin In the new shade of
heliotrope known as eminence purple.
Over the Instep , lending itself to the
graceful curves of the foot , is a largo
purple pansy , perfectly modeled in
shaded velvet , which combines all the
exquisite colors found in the natural
flower. Nothing could be moro charm
ing than the elTect produced , nor could
a shapely foot bo more elegantly shod.
The crinoline plague with which this
country has boon threatened for the past
few months will not be inflicted. Some
wise power appears to have interposed.
"Wo are informed on all sides , " says
the Paris correspondent of Harper's
Bazar , "that wide skirts of say six to
eight yards in width have ceased to bo
the fashion. It would bo rather moro
exact to say that they have never been
the fashion. "
The latest fads In jewelry are little
green frogs and tortoises made entirely
of emeralds. Besides these there are
lizards and serpents. A wild fowl on
the wing is the newest design for a
diamond brooch. The daintiest little
brooches consist of throe tiny birds
carved in colored stones and perched on
a gold or enameled twig. Diamond
ornaments for the corsage rro made to
represent bows and strands of ribbon.
The bow is usually worn on the shoulder
and the ribbons follow the curve of the
low bodice. ' ,

law of the author , Countess Ida Huhn ,
entered a convent near Moran , Italy , re
cently with the intention of becoming a
nun. The countess , who belongs by
marriage to ono of the greatest families
in Germany , is 07 years old. She has
largo estates In llolstoin in her own
name , which will probably go to the
church.
Among the presents received by the
pope on the occasion of his jubilee was a
golden cross sot In diamonds , the gift of
her inajestyMho empress of Austria.
The empress is a devout Catholic , and
since the tragic death of her only son
throe years ago has sought her chief
consolation in the practices of her faith.
His holiness was delighted with her
majesty's remembrance , which was
among the most valuable gifts from indi
viduals.
A 15-year-old San Francisco girl , Miss
Noina Dickinsonwas lately tin-own from
her horse , and her escape from death Is
declared to have been solely due to the
fact that she wore a divided skirt.
Otherwise she would have been unable
> free herself from the saddle , and
ould have boon dashed to death. "Had
SToma worn the conventional riding
mbit instead of a divided skirt she
vould have been killed instantly , " said
or uncle , Dr. 11. E. Johnson.
A few weeks ago an English lady was
bilged to pay 4 as damages for having
given a good "character" to a servant
vhom she know to bo unfaithful. Her
.vritton . recommendation of the servant
nabled the latter to got a place which
he could not have obtained without the
ecommondation , and in which she
iroved unfaithful and detrimental to the
ady who employed her : and it was on
, ho proof of those facts that the damAges -
Ages were adjudged by the court.
The famous diamond coronet comb
vhich Louis XIV. gave to Mine , do
\Iontespan \ , after all its wanderings and
strange experiences , has at last fallen
nto the hands of Mrs. William Waldorf
\stor. She wore it in her lovely silken
hair at the queen's drawing room a few
lays ago. Mrs. Astor seems to have a
ovofir collecting old jewel warns by
amous women. 1 wonder if she believes
n that gem superstition which reads
-hat jewels contain genii that work a
good or evil influence on the person who
.vears . them. The price paid for the
em was something like $100,000.
For the first time in the history of the
of Italy women have contrib
uted to the national representation at an
exhibition. With the queen herself as
resident of the committee , the women
imvo gone into their share of the undor-
aklng with a zeal that has surprised
.ho olllcials of the national woman's
bnard and have sent an interesting ex
hibit to the fair under the t'ountoss di
Braz/.a , the chief feature of which will
bo the old historical laces belonging
partly to the queen and partlj to the
government , made in every century
since the birth of Christ , with a few
priceless pieces of even an earlier date.
