NEW YORK , iMay 3. Amid the violence
of colors with which wo have becu assailed ,
In all their primary tints , this spring , It I *
pafo to say that noilo Is so alNpredomlnatliiB
os red. It Is correct to wear red when ,
where or howsoever you may please , from
florid cardinal and poppy to pale geranium ,
Undoubtedly the latest dash of carmluo
adopted by the woman of many and ncll-
chosen toilets Is In her shoes. A year ago
eho would sot have dared to show the ver-
intllon-clixd feet outside her bedroom that
stio now proclaims as one of the prettiest
attributes of her country costume. * , and , above

vollalne. some of the many pretty goods they
are utilizing for water dresses , beside the
tweeds , fishers' twill nnd light but very
rough-coated pilot cloths , which last are In
corporated Into coats , capes and caps for
rough weather. Faithfully following the suit
of all other gowns , yachting dresses for the
present are most elaborately braided , and
very many of them are made with skirts
that can bo adapted to bicycling nnd golllng ;
that Is , they are short , fall In straight lines ,
have tholr pockets in front , and button up on
either side. Again , when uny fanciful
decoration la Indulged In , there are free
adaptations made from the smart naval dress
of men. as In the blue nnd white suit pic
tured , that-has the buttoned skirt.
'A iwhltc-rlbbcd silk vest , "buttoning' up
under one' arm and on one shoulder forms
( ho Hrst part of the w.alst , , , , jplthcr a group
' '
of bands nnd stars a'i'yacht's name Is em

othe | undqrbody , over which Is worn a short
middy's coat of blucflshcr's twill faced with
ribbed silk and further ornamented with a
square sailor's collar of silk. Stars and
bauds are embroidered on the coat sleeve ,
and a ) back and front , the skirt fastens With
many flat black buttons to the little vest.
THE WATCH CAP.
Bright red leather yachting ties should ap
pear under the edges ot the blue twill kilted
aklrt and the head cam bo topped off or not ,
as preference may decide , with a plaid silk
watch cap ornamented with a huge scarlet
silk tassel. Watch ] caps nre frankly adopted
this season by nil young women , who do
not In the least mind tt hea7iest coats ot
sunburn and who know what Is eminently
becoming to n young and piquant type ot
face. Older and more careful women are
clinging valiantly to the round sailor bat of
rough straw , higher than usual In the crown ,
ot ordinary width In brim and decorated with
a big bunch of flowers , planted directly on
the front of the brim or bright with a red
and white ribbon , drawn Into a small , neat
bow on one sldo. To the , trlmined reefer
another branch of young mermaids have
Riven considerable attention , wearing those
made of pure white , suede , the head band
ornamented with three gold stars and perhaps
n bouquet of white and scarlet , gull wings
fastened to the head band and upstanding
to ouo slJo. These women's reefers at ) often
as not are made of ribbed scarlet silk , or

The coat nf taa brings one around moat
naturally to the counters where yachting
gloved and volla are for sale. Tllo IIret
heavy and la white , navy blue or pale tan
nUn , all stitched narrowly with scarht Bilk
threads , the ribs on the back of the gloves
feuding lu tluy scarlet anchor * . White or
red celluloid buttons on these gloves are
prettily ornamented to represent capstan toper
or compass points , while the vail that In
sures the timid sailor woman against tan and
sunburn Is now made of finest batiste , or
what is both cooler and lighter , of tulle , n
dark blue or green tint , woven double hi
mesh.
In this year ot Invention and advancement
the lady ot fashion who goes yachting
dresses as carefully for the.occasion with
out as Vflthln. We have now the yachting
corset very hort on hips and bust , ns all
now corsets are , and Its few flexible' bones
held In place by1 a network of narrow white
bobbin bands. This corset Is worn over a
combination ot lisle thread or woven gar
ments , or the same thing In mixed silk , and
wool and a bright gloria silk petticoat Is cast
over that. The whole arrangement Is
schemed out for the sake of avoiding weight ,
to facilitate eaay movements ntittMo at cnce
keep the wearer cool , but also from chill.
On such underwear yachting skirts of
tweed and the heavier cloths are worn with
out ellk linings , and the lightweight serges
and cotton nro cither lined with silk or made
on separate silk petticoats. All water skirts
are cut on the bell pattern and the red
tweed shown is decorated with rf now serge
braid , at once loose and very woolly. The
red tweed has Its full braided bolero coat ,
lined with a red and white taffeta silk to
match the shirt used under It , while the
owner of the suit when she finds It desir
able to make a change , can throw off both
coat and waist und draw on a sweater of
white silk , bearing the yacht's name ( n rod
across the chest. The bottom ot such a
sweater Is usually worn In a scries of two-
Inch wide tabs , that are about as long , to
fall around the hips and under a belt of
white or red suede that has a steel harness
buckle.
The collar rolls up high and close about
the throat , and In white , blue or red silk
these arc to be worn tluough the hot
weather by fashionable women In place of the
wool ones. Another substitute for boned
bodices and coats are shirt waists of the
heaviest white corded silk , worn with white
linen cuffs and collars , and , Instead of leather
belts , wide folded girdles of bias silk , fas
tened In front with huge skeleton belts of cut
silver , or four-pronged bars of French btll-
llants.
A REVIVAL OF THE DICKY.
On every hand are for sale , In linen or
silk , small and large dickies , for which of
late women have conceived a great fond
ness. Among the sketches Is shown one ot a
white French Fcrge , round of skirt , and Its
blouse coat half-unbuttoned and thrown back
In revers , to display n dicky shirt front of
White linen. To the eye of the casual ob
server an entire shirt waist Is suggested ,
and a big plaid cushion cravat of silk is
crossed upon It. The design In simple lines
most carefully typifies what Is , on the whole ,
considered sweetest and best In a boating
suit , for , with rare exceptions , the full
blouse waist predominates , and when white
linen Is not wished for In the neck a dicky
of vivid checked red. nnd white plaid silk ,
with a turn-over neck frill of white lace can
be substituted. Four-ln-band , cushion ,
string and grenadine ties nre all of service
In the way of neck adornments when dressed
for the sea , while in caao of cold weather
there are charming silk scarfs sold to wrap
twice about the neck and tie on one side ,
letting tasselcd ends fall over the shoulders.
These are nothing more than knitted alllc
adaptations ot Venetian gondolier sashes ,
that arc picturesque and useful , neverthe
less. When not needed for warmth , it la
proper to knot one's silk mutller eashwlse
about the waist , and , for afternoon tea on
deck , either a linen or. checked silk dicky
can be slipped out and a lace or chiffon
front Introduced. By this means the question
, of dressing for dinner at the seaside la
promptly and comfortably settled , which In
a measure accounts for the many open-
fronted yachting suits.
IMPORTANT DETAILS.
In the afternoon , too , on deck , heavy
leather ties are exchanged for low-heeled ,
round-toed slippers , made of white , or clear
navv blue glace kid , having tiny gold
anchor buckles on the Instep , or for slippers
quite as pretty made of snow white canvas
cloth , having a small steel cromwell buckle
holding a big flap of whitewash leather on
the instep. All these deck boots have the
thinnest slice of leather and their bottoms
carefully roughened , in order to prevent
slipping. The one Jewel worn with any of
the water costumes above described Is a
bracelet that one can have In silver or gold ,
for good taste does not approve of the yachtIng -
Ing chatelalns , hatpins of special nautical
design. Jewel beaded chains to which tiny
binoculars are attached , or ultra marine
brooches liberally begemmed , for which there
Is a strong effort being made.
Occasionally a carefully costumed woman
wears a little , silver pulley block , or tiny
white enamel and gold round life buoy
brooch , but her only special ornament la
a thick , flexible silver cord bracelet , on
which Is strung a. tiny watch and a silver
barometer nnd compass 6f the sizes of the
watch. This fastens rather closely about the
high wrist , or in place ot the cord a white
wash leather strap Is used , snapped together
with a silver button in place of a clumsy
buckle. Oa all the little pieces of yachting
Jewelry Inside- her various deck hats , her
shoos and on the batidn of her cfothlng , the
wlfo of a yacht owner has engraved and
embroidered , not her own Initials only , but
the name of her husband's boat and the
private signal In the- colors of the bunting.
There is a commendable simplicity ob
served in the seaside and boating suits for
little girls. Their dressmakers may utilize
all the materials adopted by the grown-ups ,
but the favorite model this summer for a
Hinall girl's beach dresa is blue or sand
brown serge , made with a kilted skirt and a
Russian blouse waist , gathered In by n wide
black varnished or whitewashed leather belt.
A strip of white linen Is slipped inside the
straight hand collar , and a wide brimmed
chucked blue and white straw hat tops off
the feasible suit. Rubber , solid plg-skln

stockings uro the final addenda , when the

The first woman in this country who ever
tried to vote Is also the first woman In the
world to seek a diplomatic. post Mr . Marllla
M. Rlcker , She baa petitioned the president
to appoint her envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to the United States
of Colombia ,
"I nslc for the pUce. " she cays , "because
I think the time has come when women
should bo recognized In the diplomatic ser
vice , and because I believe I have ability
and strength of character enough to warrant
my appointment. "
Mrs. Rtcker Is rjwomsn ot Immense force
of character , and no ono who knows her
doubts for an Instant that she would do
Uncle Sam credit in the South American
republic. The fact that who Is a woman
would make her particularly eager to do her
best.
best.Mrs.
Mrs. Rlcker hao this to eay in regard to
thu matter. t
"There Is neither constitutional nor statute
law prohibiting a wom > n' appointment to the
diplomatic service. Article 1 , section a , de
fines the president's powers In this direction.
The woman's rights resolution , unanimously
adopted by the republican committee and
convention of Juno IS IS90 , is aa followu :
The republican party 1s mindful of the
rights ami interests ot women.
Wo favor the admlialonof , women to wider
Hpherrs of uiefulnee.1 , '
"I assisted In rescuing tbo country from
democratic and populUtlc mlsgovernmcnt
and misrule , by political work , and now I
want to be appointed to a wider 'sphere of
usefulness' "
Mrs. Rlcker was the flrnt woman who tried
to vote. "Jwent to the selectmen In my
ward in the city ot Dover , N , II. , " uha nays ,
"and ofiked to luve my uatue put on the
check list. Three days later I materialized
at the polls anil offered the straight repub
lican ticket this wan twenty-seven years
ago. No women voted at that time. Now four
states Wyoming , Colorado , Utah and Idaho
give universal suffrage to women with
municipal suftrngi In other state and school
suffrage In twenty-six statcH , showing that
the 'world do move. '
"I am the first woman to ask. to be ap
pointed minister plenipotentiary to a for
eign country. In the near future I hnvp no
doulit women will have Ihclr fair share of
alt the Important places , although I am still
wandcilng In the political wilderness with
no glimpse of the- promised land Ilogotat
but It my party will pats a tariff bill that
will pay our bills , I ehall fllid no fault with
tlio distribution of the plo.
"Whether I secure the appointment or not ,
I have established a precedent In asking for
It , and In tlio future I am cuirc It will be
no uncommon thing for women to ask for all
such places , and sometime she- will bo ap
pointed ; it is simply a question of time.
"I think President JIcKinley would bo glad
to appoint some woman toan important
place , and he may see his' way clear to dose
so , but the pressure la bard , and the voters
want the place and' the $10,000 per annum
salary. "
Apropos to suffrage for women , Mrs. Rlcker
waxen eloquent.
"I Bay to all women : Get the ballot ; that
is the first thing. Women have quite as
much Interest in good government as men ,
and I fail to see why they should be excluded
from the ballot box. If taxation without rep
resentation was tyranny before the revolu
tionary war , and it Is generally conceded to
have been one of the great causes of the
war. It Is tyranny today. Women are taxei !
under the laws , are put Into prisons and arc
hanged under the laws , and they should have
a volco In making them ; In other words , l !
women are citizens , they should have all
the rights and privileges of citizens ; II they
are not citizens , what are they ?
' 'A ' man said to me , not long since , 'The
ballot does not make men happy , rich or
respectable. ' I nt once replied'I admit

Why AiiierlciiiiH Are Superior lu Their
UlHtLTM.
With regard to the alleged snobbishness of
c
the American girl , writes Ex-Allache In the
New York Tribune , Id Is just because she Is
Dot a snob that ebe Is so much sought after
by the ImproverUhed nobleman. The daugh
ters of Uncle Sam are by no means the only
belrerue * In the matrimonial market. Them
are plenty of merchant princes In London ,
Liverpool , Manchester , Leeds , etc. , who can
glva their daughtcni quite us handsome a
dower as any American father , and who
would bn glad to pay heavily in order to so-
euro the admission of tbelr children Into
Illustrious futnllkfl. Uut the trouble la that
them English girls da not flt Into Illustrious
families. They cannot adopt themselves >
readily io tholr surroundings , nnd the snobbery -
bery which U Innate In the upper and
lower mldddle classes of English exudes , so
to speak , frotnstfaete every pore. Jarring t r-
rlbly upon th'o ncfve > nnd refinement of

Above nil , they are lamentably lacking In

one word , repel by their Innate and In
eradicable vulgarity.
That Is why = th 3CnBllsh noblpmnn , who ,

to come to this country for a bride. The
American girl , no matter to what class of
the oclal system In , the United States her
parents may have belonged , somehow or
other adapts herself at once and without any
effort to whatever circle she may bo In
troduced by her husband , Thoroughly Im
bued with a supreme/ respect of self , she
does not err on the side cither of undue
exertion or of too great subserviency. Her
Innate refinement somehow or other In
spires her with the knowledge of Just what
to do and what to , say , and , sweeping though
the statement may appear , I have never In

eyes of his frightened wife , who stood on

his hand , was about to shoot Mrs. Otlles , but

of death. The widow was idlowcd her
liberty , but thereafter wns sorely persecuted
by sympathizers until her residence there
became absolutely unsafe , and a company of
Union soldiers was sent from the fort at
Leavcnworth to escort her and her children
to the fort for protection.
COMM1SSSIQNKU AS A SPY ,
It was not long jitter her admittance to the
fort before she was called to Washington by
a letter from General Lane , which was also
signed by President Abraham Lincoln. Sen
ator Marvin of Missouri and a company of
seventy-five others wcro nbout to start for
Washington and Mrs , Stiles accompanied
them. Upon arrival them she learned that
she wm ( sent for to take a place In the ser
vice as a spy , and upon her acceptance she
received her Instructons. In a few months
she returned to Leavenworth for her child
ren. Taking them to Washington she
placed two of them In school and took her
daughter Clara with her In the detective ser
vice of "Undo Sam. " All through the re
bellion she was In almost constant service ,
nnd during that time eho did special work
In nineteen different states and Canada , brav
ing the hardships of the crude methods of
travel and the exposures to all kinds of

Into consideration that , in addition to this

of vulgarity and of-affectation , she possesses
an education Infinitely superior to the Euro

MURDEIl OF HBIl HUSBAND.
At the age of 1 eho went to Chicago ,
where she resided a number of years. In
184C she was married t Jacob Stiles , and
thirteen years later they took up their real-
ilcnco In Shawneotown , Kan , , where , In Octo
ber , 1802 , Mr. Stiles waa murdered at hla own
gate by a band of ICQ guerrillas under the
command of the famoifa chieftain , Charles
Quantrlll. The rebels came dressed In the
blue uniforms of Union soldiers , after mid-
nlgUl , ami the color deceived the Union sym
pathizers and they were taken by surprise.
Mrs. Stiles had not yeb retired , but they got
ber husband out of bed and took him prls-
aer as far as the gate , where their blood-
of the noted generals , as her frequent
| I changes from one locality to another brought
| her under their direction. She faced death
many times , and her repeated escapes were
generally due to her ready wit nnd cool
nerve. Therein also lay the secret of her
success aa a spy. On one occasion , when
she was arrested at Jefferson city , Mo. ,
charged with being a spy , and her horse
was taken from her as she was escorted to
General Prlco for trial , so well was she In
formed on confederate affairs that .she suc
ceeded in making the general believe she
was a rebjl spy. and not only secured her
freedom , but was given a better horse and
firearms and sent on her way.
A VACANCY IN TUB PICKET LINE.
Ono dark night when she and her daughter |
were out on a long rldq on the Kansas-Mis
souri border , the daughter fell asleep on her
horse , and lld not know when a sentry
grasped Mrs. Stiles' horse by the head and
attempted to arrest her. i The sound of a
pistol shot awoke the girl , and before she
hail tlnia to wonder what had happened her
mother was again at hpr side , but there was
a vacancy in the picket line.
The lady likes to tell how ehe directed the
Mme. Yale's Sunday tetter on Beauty.
To tlio Ladles of Omaha , Nob. :
While beauty differs according tt > Individual tnstp , nevertheless It lies In
our power to remedy the defects so disastrous to licnuly , the following advice
will be of great vnlnis to all
tboso allllotod with drooping eyelids or a shriveled ,
loose shin surrounding the eyes :
Hoforo retiring , massage around the eyes by llrst. applying the skin food ,
and then with the tip-ends of the lingers , work In a circular movement surround
ing the eyes. Commence at the Inner corner , ( Irst passing the lingers over the
eyeball uml then around under the eye. Continue this method llfty times to
each eye. Commence at the Inner corner , llrst passing the tin-
gors over the eyeball ami I lion around the eye. Continue
this method llfty times to each eye The second' movement con
sists of rubbing the eyebrows upward with the palm of the hands , counting
one hundred strokes. After this has boon done take one pint of Ice water and
add to It one heaping teaspoonful gf table salt. With this saturate a strip of
surgeons' lint long enough to reach from ear to ear and broad enough to en
tirely cover ( lie eyes. Wring this out of the salted water and lay It across the
eyes and bandage It on witli a dry strip of llannel and allow It to remain on
nil night. Continue this treatment until the cure Is e omplete and then occa
sionally use tlie eyelash grower to Increase the eyebrows and lashes.
In next Sunday's letter 1 will tell how a double chin may be reduced ami
lost contour of the face and throat restored. MMK. M. YA1.10.

LIFE SINCE THIS WAR.
After the close GI the war Mrs. Stiles went
from Washington -Geneva. . O. , and located ,
but she did not like tlio town , and in 1SG5
went to .Nlles , Vonango county , Pa. , where
she resided with one ot her girls until she
entered the Women's nellet Corps homo
about a year ago.
Although the lady has passed her tour
score of life's milestones , and notwithstand
ing the exposures she underwent for love of
the union , she is remarkably well-preserved
and blessed with a happy disposition , which
Is a uofln to .herself and casts many glances
of sunshine among her associates. Her mind
Is perfectly clear nnd her recollection of dates
and namea is remarkable. " She is Justly
pround ot the part she took In putting1 down
the rebellion , nnd will sit for hours and relate -
late occurrences which never tire her listen
ers. Within a year she has dictated manu
script for a large book which she will have
published. This remarkable woman has also
served her country In another way. She
never bore any children , but has raised thirty
girls to youiiK womanhood and seen them
started out on lives of usefulness. The

her. Is one of the many foster children , ! now

who come into my fill op for lilting and meas

steels than ever before , and some of them
wish they needeiUtu wear no corset nt all.
"Par example , look here. If yon please , and

pair ot stays side by side. The llrdt was a
shapely affair , measuring seventeen Inches

choice whalebones , six side steels and ton
steel bust braces ; three strips of satin ribbon
and ten whalebones about nix Inches lone

they now demand , fhe perfect corset for

light , have few bones , and. above all , glvik

especially as there are only tnn cteels , In
stead of six , any longer used in o.ir best
