I BITS OF FEMININE GOSSIP.m
Kate Groenajvny , the EnglUh artist , who
has done no nnlcll to rcvofutlonlze children's
ilresa , lives VerY quietly in an old am
picturesque ijouep In the nclgbborliood o
Hampstcad lUatlii and has her studio hen
on the top floor , ' t largo , well lighted , am
cosy room , lUlro tVcry other successful man
and woman , KateGrecnaway , tolled long am
earnestly before fnmc , smiled upon her. Fir *
she studied at the art school In South Ken
sington , and next at the llfo classes at
Hcathcrlcy's , another famouo London studio
and at the Slado school. When her firs
pictures were exhibited at the Dudley gallery
lory they attracted some attention and much
praUo , and It was after this that Miss Green
a\vny devoted herself to Illustrating chll
drcn'a books nnd to designing Christmas
birthday , dinner cards nnd menus , and al
llnds of pretty and artistic novelties. A col
lection of pretty colored skelchea ot chlldret
dressed In the quaint , old-fnshloned gowns o
a century ago , published under the tltlo o :
"Under the Window , " brought her fame and
plenty of work.
Ualtlmore takes the lead In the formation
by the women of a "Hainy Day club , " the
grand tenet of which la to wear short sklrta
In rainy weather. After March 1 the mem
bers ot the club pledge themselves to WCA
only short skirts when walking in stormy
weather , except when making calls. The
force of the distinction Is not very clear. In
asmuch as ono of the women jiresent at Hit
organization pointed out very clearly how
much more uncomfortable it was to take
wet and draggled skirts into another's houbo
than Into one's own. It Will bo something
however , to get the skirts shortened at all
Ths regulation stipulates that the "rainy
day" drcfs shall not bo moro than six nor
less than five inches from the ground.
Tow American women have been so suc
cessful In tholr alliance with foreign noble
men no the Countess Waldctsee , who was
Miss Mary Esther L"co ot New York. The
countess' husband is the director of the Ger
man army Is the successor of Von Moltkc
In fact , and the countess herself Is the per
sonal friend and adviser of the German cm-
paror and his wife. Her Influence in im
perial politics Is therefore as great as that
of any ono person other Iran the mperoi
himself. Even Bismarck helped , himself out
of power by being hostile to the American
woman and her plans. The father of the
countess wao a Now York grocer , who re
tired and left only a small fortune to his
widow. Mrs. Lee wont to Stuttgart to live
and educate her children. There she mot
nnd married n Gorman diplomat , Baron
WaechUr , afterward ambassador to France.
In 1S04 her daughter , Mary Esther , married
1'rlnco Frederick of Schleswlg-Holsieln , who
saw her by accident In a hotel. The prince
was Immensely rich and 70 , Miss Leo was
poor and 27. On the wedding trip to rales-
tine she persuaded him to make over to her
his entire fortune. Ho did so , and died six
months later. Not long afterward the
widowed princess was married to Count
Waldersoo , then a rising soldier. Prince
William married a grandnleco of Prince
Frederick , Augusta Victoria. That young
woman was ungainly nnd awkward , but under
the opell of the fair and tactful American
she soon became ono of the most polished
women in Europe , t Ths tuition given her by
the countess , and Its quick results , charmed
the prince , wKo was'ODon to become emperor.
When William succeeded to the throne , when
Dltimarck fell-and'when ths young war lord
was his own master , ho heaped honor after
honor on the "Waiflersees. The countess is
now 5C years 'old. Her husband , in case ol
n German wai * , wduld bo master of the German
. 1
man army.
Mrs. Annie Dcsant , the theosophlst , will
remain In this eduntry six months , during
which time she will visit all the larger clti"s.
Her lectures .will TJO devoted to the exposi
tion of theosbphy,1 , and somp of her experi
ences In her" , Journey through India , from
which country she Is no\Y returning , will bo
told. Mrs. Dcaant comes at the Invitation of
the Theosophlcal society , American section ,
and will not have any connection with the
college for the study of ancient histories to
bo established In California under the guid
ance of Mrs. Kalherlno A. Tlnglcy.
Prof. Felix Adler said. In a lecture In New
York recently on the subject of woman in
politics : "The record made by women in the
executive- branches of charity and prison
work is nn admirable ono and when tholr
fitness Is found out their appointment to
offlco should follow. It is one thing , how
ever , to draft Into the service of political
duty these that are capable and another to
admit to the polls the unintelligent and In
experienced. All of those who are lit are
welcome and In fact we would bo grateful
to them for their share In the work , but it Is
Impossible to admit the deserving minority
and exclude the unfit majority. No ono who
realizes how much we surter from the Igno
rant vote will think of increasing it and the
counter claim to the effect that If wtV allow
all men to vote why not also extend the
same privilege to women brings with It the
logical answer , that , If wo are Buffering from
ono evil , there Is no reason why wo should
Increase It. "

What sad nonsense is still often talked

In the February Ladles' Home Journal Maj
von Hlnzcr writes ot his experience ns "A
I'ago In the Berlin Court , " upon the occa
sion ot a doubts royal wedding , nnd of the
preceding nnd succeeding festivities. De
scribing nn ancient and curious custom he
writes : "And now ( after the wedding , dlnnei
nnd ball ) came the 'Fackcltanz. ' Several ol
the highest officials entered the hall wltli
flaming torches. A procession was formed
with the brldo In the midst. A number ol
complicated polonaise figures were then exe
cuted , after which the line closed about the
brldo and groom and marched out as escort
to the bridal chambers.
"As the doors of the bridal apartments
closed upon the happy pair wo found our-
solvtn immediately next the entrance. We
waited expectantly for the next feature , hold.
Ing our advantageous position with some
difficulty. In n few moments the doors flew
open nnd holt n thousand silken garters with
the monograms cmboaaed on the gold buckles
were thrown out by the ladles of honor
Court etiquette was for the nonce forgotten-
generals , courtiers , chamberlains nnd state
ministers scrambled and fought with one
another for these mementoes. But we pages ,
rest assured , got the lion's share. I linvc

many were given away by me that night to

Any number of girls In New York under
17 years of age have taken up with the fad
for gray hair , the Idea being to appear very
Intellectual and thoughtful. It is managed
by leaving a lock of one's natural hair at a
wlgmaker's , with Instructions to somewhat
match It by shades of gray hair , not at first
too far removed from the original color. A
totipco affair is purchased to bo worn a la
false bangs. The gray hairs are carefully
Intertwined with the dark locks , and one
Is perfectly "up-to-dato. "
I have before mo the annual report of the
Women's Industrial Council , says that helper
of the people , Walter Besant , novelist , phi
lanthropist and reformer. The first essen
tial , If the council Is to do any good. Is to
pour light upon anything hours of work
kind of work pay effect of work on health
everything. This council is working on
right lines , but with miserably Insufficient
means. It has , for Instance , secured cer
tain valuable results , but they are Just set
down casually In a manner which prevents
the publication from being In the least ef
fective toward Improvement. Thus the long
hours demanded of nurses Is briefly noted
In the county asylums the nurses work on
an average of twelve hours a day. It Is
most monstrous that this cruelty should bo
possible. Observe , however , what always
happens when workers are helpless. Now
It Is not enough to note this kind of tyranny ;
stops , energetic steps , must bo taken to
amend It , and to make It Impossible for the
future. There Is , again , the system of
fines and punishments in shops. Thus a
story Is told of a girl who , after twelve
long hours of work sat down for a few
minutes : was found sitting down , nnd was
summarily dismissed. Now the way In which
such a case should bo met la by public ex
posure. Light light and still moro light
Is wanted in everything connected with
women's work.
The aptitude of women for the manage
ment of libraries Is evidenced by the eucccss
ot thwo already In that profession and by
the number of accessions they constantly re
ceive. Anybody can take care of books , but
It demands special gifts to be a good
librarian. The profession calls for a good
memory , a natural power of classification.
iood administrative talent and a love of
literature- , printing , illustrating and binding.
Vow and then there are great geniuses In
: hls respect , like Henry Sotheran of London ,
Charles Sothoran of Now York , Daniel M.
Treiwell of Brooklyn and General Lewis M.
Peck , but in the main good librarians have
become such partly through Innate qualities
and partly through hard study and work.
The work Is laborious and demands patience
and perseverance. Hero Is where women
excel and this is why they have succeeded
thus far so nicely In the calling. The as
sistant librarians of Now York , Kentucky ,
Tennessee and the state librarian of Georgia
are capital illustrations of the fact. To
them must now bo added Miss Edith nice ,
who was appointed librarian of the Now
York Normal college , and Mlra Florence
I'lcrce , who has been selected to take care
3f Boston's public library.
