BITS OF FEMININE GOSSIP.
The very latoet notclly In driuvlnR room
entertainments Is known as "tlio .horror
party. " At one fltich nffnlr the "horrors"
wtro not unwrapped or disclosed to public
view until after the dinner , to which eighteen
young guests had been bidden , was over.
The guests were then told to draw tor part
ners. They retired from the room for n
moment , to return with neatly done up pack-
ngcEi. tied with gay ribbons In tissue paper ol
bright colors. The girls then exchanged
them with their partners , nnd amid much
laughter and gayety unwrapped Uio "horrors. "
Ono young man brought n basket with a
largo black cat In It. A bottle of nasty ,
cheap perfume one young girl Insisted was
her ' 'pet horror ! " Still another brought n
dilapidated looking oil painting of some very
cro93 looking1 ancestor , which she said had
haunted her over pincc nho was a child ,
and had In that way bccomo her "pet her
ror. " Then there were hideous yellow plaid
cravats , a cabbage and a bottle of musk.
Ono girl brought a pair ot white atln slip
pers , which had alwayo been too tight for
her , and what greater horror can ( hero be
than tight dancing shoes ? A toy frog , with
rubber tuba attached , which made It hop
In the most unnatural way , was among the
list ; also a paper rat , a Japanese toy snake ,
and last , but not least , an oyster. H seems
that eonio ono has a horror of oysteral
After the fun of examining Into ono an
other's pet horror was over , an Impromptu
cotillon was danced nnd the "horrors" used
as favors ,
The Alabama senate has. by a majority
of two , passed n law permitting women to
be admitted to the bar In that state.
A Vienna paper devotes a long article to
telling the biography' of the wlfo ot a needy
linen weaver , who lives In Npuerchenfeld , n
tuburb of the Austrian capital. Her claim
to fame rests on the fact , though now only
10 years old , that she has given Kranz Joseph
thirty-two subjects , all of whom are still
alive , and twenty-six of whom have been or
will be numbered among the -armed defend
ers of the empire. The record ot this remarkable -
markablo woman Includes four children at a
birth on two occasions , triplets six tlnjcs
and twins three times. She Is hcraelt ono of
four children born at the same tlmo ami
was one of a family of thirty-eight brothers
an-1 sisters. A Etrange feature of the case
la that this woman has been an epileptic
since her fifteenth year , but the malady has
not yet manifested Itself In any of her
multitudinous offspring.
Mrs. Cleveland has always been noted as a
woman with much decision of character. . She
shapes her Ilfo as she thinks best and with
out regard to any outside calls upon It which
she does not consider worth while. The word
"call" may bo used In a literal bcnso as
Illustrated In the recent visit to Washington
of ex-Queen Lllluokalanl. Her rx-majpsty
asked for an audience with the president and
was cordially received. Possibly In Honolulu
It Is expected that a caller upon the husband
will bo received by the wife. It Is not so at
the white house , nnd when the former queen
InqulrcJ for Mrs. Cleveland she was told
that the lady had just dressed for the street
end gene out. The ex-queen then sent , ro-
questlng an audience with Mrs. Cleveland.
Assent was given and Mrs. Cleveland set
the hour 1:45 : Just fifteen minutes before
isr tea , which was served from 5 to 6:30. :
A woman's club In Connecticut has the
odd name of the No-Two-Alike club. It Is
said thai the members profess to despise the
opposite sex.
Representative Ellis of Oregon la only ono
of many who has wrestled with the servant
; lrl question In Washington. "Our greatcat
.rouble , " said Mr. Kills , "has been to get
a servant who has not lived with the Guate
malan minister or cooked for M. Patenotre ,
or been housekeeper at the English legation.
Wo have had cooking In seventeen different
anguagcs , .somp of them dead , I Imagine ,
udglng from the cremation through which
ho things served at meals bad passed ; but
not ono of them has been able to do good ,
> laln , Airerlcan cooking. We have had more
iluc-blooJed servants , too , It seemed to me
at our house than falls to the lot of most
icople. The last ono that left us Informed
> Irs. Ellis confidently , though somewhat
laughtlly , I take It , that she came of a very
good family herself , and her sister was mar
ried to a German syndicate. "
The height of extravagance for children
seems to be reached wnen wo come to have
oys made of solid silver , but this Is what
Ittlo New Yorkers are playing with In
hcso days. Little dolls' tea sets , which
ho last generation of little girls were only
oo glad to get In pewter and china , must
now bo of silver , and Miss Tlaby , even at a
'cry tender.age , Is pretty sure to ask If it
s "real silver. "
Then for her doll's house she may have
liver furniture tables , chairs , desks and ,
ndeed , most of the pieces she needs to fully
quip the mansion , even to the coal scut-
le and flat Irons. Watering pots and gar
den tools are not forgotten , and there is u
churn and an "old oaken bucket. "
The small boys will probably have as
much fun as the girls with the little silver
wagons , each an exact reproduction of the
real thing. They are made In every shape ,
from a sulky to a four-ln-hand coach , and
from a hay wagon to a mall phaeton. Every
detail Is perfect ; there are wheels that turn
and even "cramp" shafts and poles and
everything but the horses.
These very expensive little toys are not
entirely monopolized by the children. Some
of their mothers flnd a very good use for
the little silver pieces as cabinet ornaments
In the drawing room. So , when the baby

n place of honor among the Ivory carvings ,
Japanese crystals and artistic pottery , there

The flrst woman's International elites con
gress , which Is to bo ono of the features o'
next summer's commemoration of the
queen's great reign , promises to bo a sue'
ccssful iM.ovatlon. The Ladles' Chess
club of London , which Is now a flourishing
organization , has charge of the arrange
ments. The club Is In the third year of
Its oxlstenco and has moro than 100 mem
bers. Lady Nownes , wlfo of Sir George
Nownes , M. P. , himself a stanch devotee
of the game , Is president , and meetings
are held regularly every Monday evening

the close of the season. The congress of

Cocll during the last ten days of June. Six

known American players , Mrs. Showalter
and Mrs. Worrall , have promised to play ,
and cordial promises of co-operation have

There will be a Hold In the near future
ror plays without any objectionable featureu.
It la rumored that Mme. Nancy Vernet will
manage a now kind of theater "Christian"
and she will be endorsed by the clerical and
scnsorvatlvo pruss , If a play U produced at
that house the moral will have to bo In
lilaln sight , although there are enough really
moral pla > a of high lltcraiy .merit to keep
the program -well supplied. It Is the fault of
thn corrupt taste of the times that some of
nur plays are risque , rather than any desire
on the part of the writers to lead the public
astray.
The maddest editor In the state resides In

oclal given at a private residence and dur
ing the evening the women Inaugurated a
nigging bee , the proceeds to go to tlio church.
I'flces were graded according to the person
to bo hugged. For Instance , for hugging a
yountf Inexperienced girl you had to give up
10 cents , married women brought 15 ceriU
mil widows a quarter. Old malda came In a
bunch for 3 cents. Well , nur friend wan
blindfolded , anJ , giving up 15 cents , said he

The women suffragists of England ara.
optimistically vhwlng the future through )
rose-colored spectacles these days. The bill
to secure Parliamentary franchise for women
hits been espoused by Viscount Templtlon ,
nho has undertaken to Introduce It Into th
House of I.ord , and the suffragists llrmly
bcllevo that If the bill bo once thoroughly
and fully discussed It will bo passed. The
hill la not an Innovation by any moans , It "
has been before the HOUS-J of Commons for
about thirty years , and had Its second hear
ing ten years ago. When a kcd recently
what had been the real cause ot alt the delay
Miss Cozens , the secretary of the Parliament
ary committee for women's suffrage , said :
"In my opinion the bill has been greatly
detained by the fmilt of women themselves ,
by the great disloyalty which exists among
them. Kor Instance , there Is no doubt that
the Women's I.lbornl Federation 1ms done u
very great harm , as the members hava
actually advocated and helped In many In-
utanrcs the opponents of woman's suftrago
Instead ot working ngalnst them. H Is ono
of our strictest rules to support any candi
date of either party who Id In favor of
women's suffrage , the questions for candi
dates during a general election bolng the
following : (1) ( ) Are you In favor ot extending
the Parliamentary franchise to women ? (2) ( )
Will you , If returned to Parliament , vote for
any bill In favor of women's suffrage ? (3) ( )
Will you glvo women's suffrags n prominent
place In your political program ? (4) ( ) Will
you combine with others to promote legisla
tion tending In this direction ? Hut the , half
hearted , weak-kneed way In which som
women work for our cause almost dishearten *
us. What Is the proverb about MamnliiR
with faint prnlos' ? this Is something very
like It. If only they would cither take It up
heart and soul , or else leave It nlona alto
gether ! Lidy Spencer Churchill , Lady
Cow en , Princess do Luslgnan and others art
prominent hicmherq of the committee , while
Mr. Ualfour and Lord Salisbury have ttlwnyi
boon on our side , and have brought tlu
subject forward on every available opixir-
Umlty , nnd now that Viscount Temploton hai
taken the matter up so earnestly , wu hav
every hope of bringing the question to i
fjiecdy nnd successful Issue. "

In Washington , where , as the wife of the
minister of war , she will flnd ample ex
pansion for her social nature. Mrs. Alger ,
while duly apjircclatlng the value of so

ostentatious. She enjoys pleasant associa

lu that respect. At the same tlmo she la
not unconscious ot the fact that there Is
suffering In the world , and s'he Is charitable
to a fault. In this characteristic she Is
more than reinforced by .General Alger ,
