I think uny wotnnn who will hitch herself to a chain with n UK dog on the othot * cnil , antl go pnrndlng the streets , is wurno tliun uny hutitliun 1 ever read of , and I know u respcctnblo Indian would hiivo iniiro sense. I hud nit her be hitched to 11 plow and driven by my hus band in tliu fields , ns I hnvo heard is the l > rnoico In Bome foreign eountriu.- . , for I uoiild nt luiist hnvo the Pntisfnotlon of knowing 1 was accomplishing some thing. " The ppcnkor was Bitting In the Hhudo of a big true in a olty on the rlp-rupnod bnnkb of the old Mhwouri. She anil tier companion were diHcu&sing the "Intcst nowb , " as women hoinotlmcs will , when a young lady , drcs'od In the latest fctyle , a bcnutlfitl Kmpiro gown of the must picturesque order , loading big , brown mastilT , panted down the street on thu other Hide. She hml hold of his chain and in the other hand carried a tiny whip. The dog was a fine npccl- men , arvi no doubt on joyed the wall : , although ho untiled longingly nt the dusty street , a * though ho thought , "I wish I could take a goodiroll in that nice dtiKt , " for ho vaa only a dog with a dog's tllHtOH. As the pair , if two of such kinds make n , pair , passed out of view the second uoiinin Mild , "Yos , you are right , ltdoos look siliy , and as if a woman \\as haul pushed for pastime when who will rig up a dog as that one is , with ribbon anil harness , and spend so much time and money on him when sO many little children right here in our city arc suf fering fotr just such attention. Women are hellish , unthinking creatures some times , and especially young women. I an uell acquainted with that young lady , and while she occasionally re- bponds to a call for charity out of her nhundnnt means , btill she always thinks BIO ! has no time and will not give porhonal attention to such V matters. If bho would spend the time each day in giving attention to some child whom she 'has always with her' that hhe ghcs that dog , the child would receive benefits that would last Its life long. It actually costs as much , or very nearly ho , to feed that great brute as it would to leed the child.1 "I wonder. " hiiifl the llrst speaker , "if any one has ever called her attention to the matter in that way , for I declare it never struck mo In that . " "Yes light. , I think so , but she bays 'I can't give up my darling "Hero" or "Fido , " ' or some such idiotic trash , and so she goes on and buys him ribbons and dog bNcuil and gives him baths while her wa-ihwoman's baby ha not enough plain little dre es so it can be kept clean. ' Hut I must go , goodly. " Thosu words are words of wisdom and dear woman reader , if you must have a ( Jog , lot him take a dog's place and per tion In the world , and don't , for the sake nf your own child , or if JOH are a young lady , [ or the sake of the little one that may some day be yours and possibly go hungry ' ( stranger things have happened ) , don't lot your fondness for dogs or for "fads" make you forgot , jou are a civil- i/ed woman , and that actual , present duties cannot bo shunned or dodged without the greatest evil results coming to yourself. You will gi ow selfish and cruel and to a thinking woman what could bo more appalling or more greatly to be abhorred than this ? * * * A man writing in one of our recent magazines gets very much excited ever the fact that thoiearoa good many women correipondunts for newspapers nt the World's fair. Ho says : "Tho female correspondent is unicjuo in a generation of novelties. She wears an air of vast superiority. Her eoilTuro is one of the inscrutable marvels that wo are always meeting when we have no kodak , and her hat is always on one side , and her note book and pencil are always in evidence. ' Then ho talks abjut tho'-o women look ing like n o.t clone had just been dis posed of by them , and a lot more slush on the same order , lie is a worse back number than the old rusty tin sign down on Capitol avenue which boars the le gend : "Skates sharpened here. " The female correspondent nt the World's fair is no more disheveled or cyclonic in her appearance than the balance of her Bisters , nftar being jostled and shoved and blown about by the lake winds which hold high carnival , among other attractions , at the White City , The woman corre spondent gets paid for her work , she does it neil , and , Mr Man , she is hoio to stay. She is keen , alert and up to her business , and then she keeps nt it and has no weeks oil. This is her strong point. One of them. If she looks wise nnd superior it is because she dcnplscs u hypocritical expression. She is in the work to make money and as Ambrose Hiorco tays of the cow running ( ho may have meant n wciniui ) she has * 'a more lively sense of the w hy than the how. " * The phrase "a blushing bride" has : omo to lw a more figurative expression totally inapplicable to the serenely self- postessed young woman who forms the center of attraction at the modern fanh- lotuible wedding. Her grandmother , in order to behave becomingly , cultivated the utmost possible shy ness of demeanor ; but a couple of genet atlons have changed all that , and the modern bride exhibits n placid composure that would hnvo been frowned upcn unmercifully a half-cen tury ago. At a recjint wedding in Washington the bride showed moro than the usual lack of trepidation. The church was tilled with a brilliant company , and from the moment of her entrance sljo knew herself to bo the cynosuio of every eye , but she wont through the ceremony as if being married wore an overydav occur rence , to be regarded with inditference , I if not with positivodisdain , The climax was i cached when , leaning on her hus band's arm , she passed through the doorway leading to the vestibule. Just inside the door stood a group of friends young women who had arrived too Into to oo accommodated w ith scats beyond the ribbon. 1'nusing on thu threshold , knowing full well that every eye in the church was bent upon her , the bride de liberately leaned toward her friends and whispered loud enough to be heard by thu bystanders "I'll ' ; chaperon you girls " next bcnson. * It was in a street car nnd the passen gers were all ( letting and nervous over the heat. A man ami woman and a fat baby occupied the corner scats , The baby , after climbing around in an aimless - loss manner popular with infants , at last began to cry lustily , while the man jolted it up nnd down , IIrot on one knee K uiiU then on the other , giving it his watch to play with nnd doing his best to Bootho the antics of thu youngster. An old ludy who tat in the far corner bo- 1'tiuio \ cry much interested iu the pro ceed Ings ami finally , when she snw tlmt nil overture * were unavailing , Mie could fltnitd it no longer nnd In n voice that all the pnxiongors could hcnr , nnd looking very IndliMiatitlj nt the young woman she Raid ; "That laby wants Its mother ! Hint's whnt'fl the mntter with U. You hnd bettor take it ! n man never knows how to bundle n baby , nnyhow. " At this very pointed remark the young womnn in the corner ro u , gathered together her bundles and made a lianty exit from the car. It is needles toexplnln that the bnby was not hcr's and it was hard to tell which was the moro em barrassed , the old or the young woman. The summer girl is an American In stitution , nnd every one must c infest n very chnrmlng one. The press of this country has done more to mnke the American summer girl a thing of beauty nnd a joy forever than nil the fashion pinto books ever published or the com bined Ingenuity of the French modiste , ns her doings and savings are as care fully chronicled and her movements as faithfully told as the political and financial condition of the nation , writes Laura Sohlrmor Maplcsou In the Now York Herald. Clover artists illusti ate her in all sorts of bewitching po C3 and stunning costume1 * . Whole publications are devoted to her , and the seaside or mountain resort that falls to "ccuro her is unfortunate indeed. She is the real attraction at Saratoga , Newport , Long Uranch , Bar Harbor and Narnigansott 1'ior. She gives color to the grand stand .at the races and is the target for all marine glasses at the yacht race ? . The French woman in summer is n dainty and gorgeous creature , with llt- tlo feet and a wasp waist , who cares nothing for Hold sports and hates the Mirf with an aversion as strong ns that of a potted child who lights his nurse when the hath tub Is mentioned. Water is of lo-is importance and Is more spar ingly used in France than anv other ele ment. A French family will manngo the entire household a whole week with less water thttu an American or English girl uses for "her daily bath. If water should bo bottled and scaled and sold for f > francs a quart it might bo moro popular in France , but the chances are against it oven then. The English woman Is the osact op posite of the French , and while quite like her American cousin in many re spects , is so dilTeront that this dilTorenco may bo noted in many ways. She is * fond of the open air , thick , broad soled , easy boots , aiul takes to the water like u Newfoundland doir. Her knowlodtre of Held sports is second only to the lords of creation , and she can bag a pheasant on the wing , land a salmon or ride to hounds like a man , and Is n dashing , rosy cheeked , norvy.admlrablo combina tion of giiico and skill. If vo in America are behind any ono in anything except ago and charming relies of the past it is in lack of appre ciation of Held sports and out of door pastimes. I am free to confess that I ha\o borrowed many good things from tlio English out-door girl and think many of my countrywomen could do likewise to advantage. There is no kind of gentle sport that docs not grow on one , and there is nothing like the sports of tlio woods and waters to develop the form and bring the roses back to the cheek that is blanched by the too fre quent attendances of balls and receptions , and other social gatherings where the rooms are usually crowded and always overhea'ed. There is undoubtedly moro gained by a summer outing that includes plenty of fishing and shooting than by any other kind of \acation , for the reason that the pursuit of either of the e sports brings into play all the muscles and gives the greatest amount of genuine exercise with the least fatigue. The oarswomun only UBCS her arms , while the bicyclist works to hard and fails to employ the arm and client muscles. The equestrienne'sits all twisted up inn saddle until hardly able to stand when taken out of it. Medical men strongly condemn labjr dKiruised as exoici'-o and say that quite often more harm is done by the laborious woik sometimes called sport than the good elfeets of the open air can counterbalance. The health and pleasure seeker returns to the city worn out by overexertion in stead of being bonolited by the trip to the seashore or the mountains. * < * Five years old , and to bo eont to school ! What has the poor little inno cent done that he should bo turned out of the nursery at such a tender age ? Has ho already learned all there is to bo learned at that best academy , a mother's knee , or , I hesitate to make the sugges tion , has he become troublesome there ? This wail comes from n sympathetic lady correspondent addressing Uio Philadelphia Times. When in my walks I see little tots of 4 or 5 stnrt out for school in the morning , carefully hooded nnd mittoned , and then again watch them as thej come homo with coats unbuttoned , mittens mislaid or danglinfl from their pockets , rubbers carole.-sly forgotten , I wonder how many sere throats , how inanv car- aches thoie will bo next day , and I feel like running'aftor each and every one of them in a fruitiest ) attempt to secure all tlio lost buttons and missing rubbers or mittens and saying to their mothers : "Do keep your babies at homo until they are old enough to have learned some thing about the cure of their own little bodies. " Of course , in a private school needed personal attention is cheerfully given , but in a largo public school it is practi cally impossible. Then , too , the danger 01 infection irom that largo class of dis eases , popularly known as children's diseases , is much greater among thu younger children , and the moro they are brought together the greater the risk in this direction , I should like to call thu attention of all thoughtful mothers to the report of the instructor of hygiene in the Boston schools , where ho frankly acknowledges that the highest sanitary conditions are far from being reached. Kvon to ventilate a school room properly , one of the most necessary conditions of health , is a mat ter not often satisfactorily arranged. The building up of a good physique must be begun in thu earliest period of life. life.Hut Hut perhaps some busy mother may buy with a sigh , "Ah , well , this sounds very reasonable. I should like to keep my children at home , but what am I to do with sewing on my hands , thu hounc to look after and innumerable duties beside - side , all claiming immediate attention. " To such I would say : "He sure llrst of all which are the most important duties. None of us can do all wu would like to do ; then lot us choose. Put fewer frills on your children's petticoats , fewer tucks on their pretty aprons and dresses and give them moro of yourself , moro of your heart nnd mind , more ot your per sonal care. " Said a wise littlu woman to mo not long ago : "For the llrst six yearn of my child's lifo I taught him but very littlu. except what anil how to eat anil to tell thu truth. And I consider thu time well spent , " * Hero Is n piece of history which will bo of Interest tj ovbry woman and is vouched for by the Now York Sun. It was gleaned from a prominent woman's tailor of thu great metropolis , and might bo culled trho Hlso of the Shirt Waist. " Probably every woman will P.ruy thut uo postscript ucod over bo I nddcd to record the decline of that boon 'to ' fcmlnino humnnltv. Nine years ago according to the historian , the shirt wnif t for women wns unknown. At that tlmo Miss Juno Nelson wns living quietly In Gratni'rcr park , without a thought of the pnrtbhowns destined to piny In the emancipation of her sex. Ono day Mr. Richard Osborno , to whom Miss Nelson was engaged to lw married , was walk ing with her when ho spied his tailor's sign across the street , nnd the Idcn oc curred to him that he ought to go in and leave his older forsomo negligee shirts. DAceordimjly he and MUs Nelson went over to the shop nnd selected the mate rials. Then it was that n grcnt nnd luminous Idcn shone In the mind of the tjillor. Ho suggested to thu young Indy that she would bo much more comforta ble If she , too , had a loose , cool waist , and the young Indy agreed that she would. The measure was taken forthwith , and the construction of the first lady's shirt , waist wns begun. At least ador.on at tempts were made bcforo the dlflicultles of fitting were overcome. At length Miss Nelson struck envy to the souls of her friends by appearing in her now shirt waist , In which she fairly luxuri ated before their envious eyes. She did not retain her lonely eminence of com fort very long , however , nnd this hcnson the fcnino tailor who then made the one waist for Miss Nelson 1ms made (1,000 ( waists , and is still at work. Of course , that is n mere drop In the bucket compared with the millions which are sold In the stores. Not long after the evolution of the shirt waist the same tnilor was furnish ing tennis outfits for tlio Columbian stu dents when n second brilliant idea cnmo to him. lie suggested to a certain Mr. Leo that a pretty girl and a stunning bin/or would not bo n bad combination. Mr. Leo thought so , too. He put the case In that light to his friend , Miss Jackson , and , prestol the young lady came out in the 'varsity stripe nnd a blaze of glory. These successes opened the way to what has become a great movement in women's fashions , the modelling of fem inine gart-ents after the masculine ones. For instance , this same tailor was ono evening watching some members of the Racquet club dress for dinner , when ho said to ono of them : "Why wouldn't your wife look well in a gown similar to your dress suit ? " "Sho would , " replied the gallant hus band. "Make her ono. " It was done. The suit was of plain dark cloth. The skirt was perfectly plain , because the resemblance to the man's suit was to be carried out ns per fectly as possible , nnd trousers arc not trimiucd. The coat had silk faced lapels and was cut away with n clnw- hnmmcr back. A white waistcoat nnd white shirt completed the outfit , which was quite popular for a time. Mrs. Uurko Roche nnd Mrs. Hewitt enjoy the distinction of introducing the frock cjat as a part of the feminine wardrobe. The coats made for them were modeled directly after the pic tures shown in in the fashion plate for gentlemen. Bolh Indies hnvo superb figures and can wear such a garment with line offact. Linen riding habits for ladies were first made at the time of the famous Wntorbury ninntour circus when Mrs. Duncan Elliott , Mrs. Adolph Laden- burg and Miss Carey made their ap pearance in the ring arrayed in these gowns. The Eton jacket next rose , nnd how it has nourished ! Now wo have the three- button cutaway , which is the swell thing lit present. But the very latest thing , in fact only ono has been made ns yet , is 'what is to bo called the ' 'Ad miral" jacket. It is in imitation of a- naval olllcor's jacket , nnd is new and chic. The ono which has been com pleted is of white duck. It fastens straight up the front , clear to the neck , the buttons being concealed by a fly. There is a narrow standing collar with a row of wide white braid in the middle and a strip of narrow braid on cnch side. These same braids are run down the front , around the bottom , and along the scams. The narrow brading is not con tinuous , but is finished at the ends with loops. Another fad is the hip pocket for keys. A button is sewed on tlio bolt , the regulation chain attached , and the keys at the other end slipped into milady's hip pocket. If the movement toward the mascu line style of dress continues the dress reformers will bo pbliged to go hide their diminished heads. Pimliloii Notes. Lneo braces tnsseled with jot arc used on evening dress ns well ns walking cos tumes. There is n grent fancy for ball watches ; if solidly ineriiHted with diamonds , so much the bettor. A popular fabric for capes nnd ruflles is tulle grccque , which is a new numo for Itusbinn not. Although hats are worn by young girlh , bonnets are in the majority where ceremony of attire is required. A garden party dross for the queen of Denmark \\nt > of buttercup silken ero- pen , seatteiod with .satin dots. Ono odd little bonnet was scarcely any bonnet at all in front , and had n fan of lace standing erect at the back. The newest idea in lints is the sun burnt color , nnd white satin ribbon nnd Mercury wings nro used for trimming. Silk bodices In Paisley designs are coming into favor nnd nro very effective with braces of lace ever the shoulders. The latest ten gowns have the bodice draped and crossed over at the waist with a V-shaped vest of contrasting color. The newest capos are beginning to bo moro drooping over the shoulders , but the becoming wide ruff around the neck Is still very pomilnr. Black Inco mittens of grent length will bo scon Inter on , nnd ecru nnd white not , decorntcd with tassels on the draw ing strings ut the top. Plain fans in Japanese silk in a variety of colors are now Imported for the first time for the use of those who may deal re to decorate them at homo. Some women prefer simple white gowns for the cloudy days , and the pure white pique suits are excellent if not in tended to cncoura'go a downpour. Little wraps llguro conspicuously In the tiiunmer resort catalogue of fashion , They aio worn at night over thin dresses and appear very jaunty and pretty , The return of the Victorian coiffure is another abomination hovering , in the air , and ninny of the Pnrlsiun actresses nro already wearing their hair drawn down ever their eyes. Nowhere are seen very elaborate gowns , the general tendency being toward those that nro simple yet nt the mine lime pretty enough to bo in keeping with the beauty of the hcason. Largo hats are practically abandoned in the evening , and one notes with pleasure the little bands of jet or ribbon , with birds or llowers , that surve as huts when the sun goes down. Narrow-trimmed lints , somewhut on the snilor order , but with brim narrow ut the back , are trimmed with .lolid wreaths of ros-oj and chrysanfheiuunu and other similar blossoms. At the unlvuidUy match between Ox ford und Cambridge pretty gowns were n noticeable feature ol the entertainment nnd never before 1ms tf utro been so flnon display of clothes at tulltjmntch. A Btolo-shnped rollnrotto Is of molro velvet , braided with flno gold cord nnd edged with a narrowv snanclcd gnlon. A double row of flut d Inco describes opnulots in front nnd A'ttapo nt thu back ; another ono peeps out through the stole ends. ends.Molro Molro antique , not ftnWod silk , will bo the fenture of next winter's styles. The Intost cnpes nro nlrondy mndo of this handsome muterlhl ? trimmed with Italian or Flemish dace nnd lined throughout with white satin , In true Parisian ologancot , , , , , | Colored shoes are moro In favor than ever for house wenr , but black Oxford ties are the only low shoes permissible in the street , while suede Is the newest thing in white shoes , and they are pointed oil with white patent lenthor , white suede or tun. The May blosjom is not to bo any longer associnted with the Princess May's name. She has ndopted the white rose of Yorkns her emblem. Ono of the first gifts of the duke of York to his bride was a brilliant white rose of diamonds mends with raised leaves. An easy way of nuiking a Inco trim ming distinct from the dross , to slip on ns required , is a simple yoke of plccu lace with six-inch edging fulled around It and a lace collar to finish the nock , or n Spanish jacket of Inco with n deep turn down frill all around the top , The clown sleeve , which is much newer than the bulgingstvle of the early season. Is composed entirely of rullles from the elbow to the shoulder. The putted sleeve is diminishing upward , and every fresh touch of fashion reveals a little moro of the tight undorslcovo. The combination of black nnd cream color is just now exceedingly populnrand deservedly so. It is quiet and ladylike , becoming also , and by no means devoid of a certain air of refined elegance that is restful nnd chnrmlng when the prevailing - vailing tendency Is toward excess of color. An attractive little affair for n young lady Is made of black flowered net , com bined with white Inco , which forms points into the back from the lower edge. A high collar , nnd a narrow frill edged with white lace around the yoke of not , lined with shot silk , com plete this dressy little capo. Some attractive bed room lumps have handles by which they may bo carried. One is of Dresden china with its small curved bowl standing upon three logs , and has a twisted handle. Another is square in shape nnd has its handles ag gressively angular. All are shaded by voluminous rufiles in the palest slumber inducing colors. Quite the latest fad in stationery is a tawny orange in color , which is culled "g > ld of India"and on this the truly fashionable woman must write in green ink and secure her envelopes with green settling wax. This 'greenery-yellowy combination has nothing to recommend it , so it can never bee uuo popular with ladies of artistic taste. The oddest gown which has made its appearance is the Restoration dress , with the low , si > piug effect ever the shoulder , which seems likely to come buck to us very soon with all its former discomfort. The ono in question is of blue and red figured.nilk and plain blue , wnlch forms tlio seamless waist and the deep band around thu skirt. Both Scotch and Irish linens nro in high vogue. The former are somov\hat coarser in texture. One of the muoli- worn butcher-blue linen dresses , made with an untrimmcd boll skirt , has u Princess May coat faced with black moire , the lapels very wide nnd the ser pentine blouse beneath made of black China silk dotted with blue. The new patterns in wall paper nro designed in very light shades. The figures are small and contrasting colors are easily scon , The borders are deep and the picture mouldings tire of oak or walnut. Care should bo taken to have the furnltuio coverings , carpet nnd paper blend , and the lighter the colors selected this season the bettor. A unique reception dress described in a foreign paper has a bluck satin skirt and u low bodice of pale green crepe do chine , draped around the figure and tied in a bow ut the buck , and over the shoulders of this fall bruces of luce , with long jet tussels dungling almost to the hips. The sleeves of palo green nro of "angel" shupo which shows the arm. In evening dresses there is a radical change in the sleeves. The largo , full puffs uru gradually disappearing , and in their place Is a bell-shaped sleeve made of frills lined with u definite color ; in fuel , all sleeves are becoming less pretentious - tentious , and in u very little time the grotesque and aggressive hump on tlio top of the shoulder will subside ulto- gother Turkish toweling m pure white is con sidered the most correct thing for the covering of chairs and couches in the summer sitting room. The toweling , while apt to show-dirt moro quickly than other fabrics , may yet by sent to the wash tub , its plnco in the meantime being taken by a fresh sot of the sumo , whence it emerges ns daintily fresh nnd nttruetivo ns ovor. Many things point , to n change In the present fashions. Trilles though they be , they are significantof coming modes. Returned European tourists bring with them now gowns , the skirts of which uio flounced to the hips or the nist , eigh teen nnd even twenty fiounces appearing on some dresses. The sleeves not infre quently are a series of tiny frills from wrist to shoulder , the giaeoful outline- of the arm being completely lost to view. Euch week thus fur has shown some elegant additions to the already elabor ate display of parasols. For coaching are handsome designs in white and gold , lilac and silver , pink and green brocudo and othur delicate combinations. Hose- colored linings appear on pretty para sols of gray , white , ra&cdu and black silk , but merely a Jllk rulllo in a finish to the edges. Very dressy styles in jmlo- colorcd silks have Insertions of lace put on in deep Vundykii pbints. Recent innovutions in the manner of decoruting the n\od.prn \ wedding cuko are a great improvpjnent on the conven tional eupids , dnrts 0,11 d hcurts no longer used.

There seems to bo no Inck of openings for feiunlo medical practitioners In this country , for the Indian Bureau an nounces seventeen vacancies for women. The empress of Austria , when she travels Incognita , uses Inilitlorontly the three following names : "Mine , do Tofnu , " "Mmo. Nicholson , " and "Miss Simpson.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett makes n Inrger Income than any other woman writer in the world. She was ono of the first members of Mr. Bosnnt's Society of Authors , and she was very instrumental In getting the American government to pnss the copyright bill. Miss Edith Carrlngton has written n book cnlled "Workers Without Wage , " dealing with all kinds of uninmls , in cluding the earwig. She has been asked by the Knglish Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals to write an other book , which the society will pub lish olllchilly. Miss Brnddon has written her fifty- two novels on a plan very different from tho-spur-of-the-moraont practice popularly supposed to indicate true goniua. She sits down at her desk every morning at 0 o'clock , and there she stays until her "stint" of about U.OUO . words is completed. Walter Besunt , who has just crossed the ocean , nnd therefore ought to bo nn authority on the subject , says : "Next time , deur mndnm. that your are sea sick place a piece of ice in your mouth , and keep it there.
