Hut now for a word concerning blark nad
white lawn dresses Too much cannot be
said nor written In their favor Moreover.
In conslde atlon of the chic air of elegance
they bear , small experse need be encountered ,
and for girls of IS they are as appropriate
as for women of 40. A very pretty one Is
sketched with a ruflled skirt. Here the
petticoat lt cjf Is of snow white awlis over
a clear white silk slip , and two deep muslin
flounces , set on In pronounced curves are
both edsed and headed with a pretty Imlti-
tlon of black chantllly Over the waist of

each one edged with narrow black lace , and
fastened each at the top of the rich black

coBtump entirely within the achievement
of amateur fingers. If need be
There Is a most commendable custom fol
lowed this season at teas nnd tournaments
of wearing short and perfectly plain walkIng -
Ing sKltls of brown linen , white duck or
stiff dark blue piquet with pretty blouses
of ecru lace , or cafe an latt embroidery
that have under bodies of bright colored
china silk. The Incc or embroidery blouse
fastens up on the left side , Is caught In at
thp waist by n belt of clastie gilt studded
with mock jewels and a hlp-bhort frill of
lacp hangs out below the belt. A blight
ribbon forms the collar , and , with a flower
hat , a costume at once smart and Inex
pensive Is the Jesuit.
Yet another picturesque fancy , adopted
by thn younger wnmrn , is that of wearing
with duck and linen or twcrd skirts even ,
shirt waists of the softest white mull , the
bosoms frilled and tucked nnd over the
fcklrts little bcarlet silk boleros that are cut
very shot : In the back. The half tailor

long handled parasols , covered with most
brilliantly striped plaid silks , while In the
bull end of every long stick is fastened a

a gilt top holds comfits or smelling salts.
ORTHODOX TOILETS.
Tn spite of the variation of fashion In favor
of many new materials orthodox woman
kind btlll clings to the Idea of organdie for
warm weall.er teas , open air fairs and the
like , and It Is well the old love for this
charming material Is not forgot. No sweeter
gowns are to be Imagined than the hhccr
organdies o" this scahon , figmed In novel
patterns , not so often of flowers and con
ventional designs as of Idealized llllputian
fruits The newest of the new are ex
quisitely figured In tiny bunches of white
dark red and crimson cherries , in wild straw
berries and their leaves and flowers , In apple
blossoms and red apples , and not least In
loveliness are those show In , ; wreaths of
purple and green grapes and little panniers
filled with assorted fruits
In effect thcee are os decorative as the
flowered muslins , and In their makeup the
skirts arf Invariably elaborately treated.
Lace Is either set on In many flounces , or
let In In wld" nnd narrow Insertion , outlining
the well known Greek key pattern. A last
rpfuge from the wholly commonplace has
been taken by the dressmaker In dividing
her organdie .skirt Into panels by means of
many mrrow. perpendicular lace flutlngs , or
setting on quaint pulflngs of organdie. In
white 01 a solid color. To do this the skirt
must be made very full and the waist , for
a young and slc'ndcr woman , Is best treated
with a yoke effect and beneath this a blouse
simulated , by means of many overlapping
lace edged flounces that are narrow and
full. The hat that accompanies the organdie
gown Is , especially for n young face , mar-
vclously becoming , and though those bear
ing the I'arlclan trade mark come very high ,
If ran be madp. at homo for little effort and
less money. A buint Htraw crown , a brim
made nil of rrtap blnck muslin or lace frills ,
and a single warm plnk-heaitcd rose , with a
little foliage , completes a mlruclo of millinery
sweetness and nlmpllclty ,

A Philanthropic ( Iruiiiilriitlon In
Which Women TnUo n 1'nrt.
A young < organization which Is growing1 so
prominent and ilolng euch good work that It
might well serve as a model for others In
the Social Ilpform club of Now York. It Is
composed of both men and women , whoso aim
Is to forward practical mcasuies for the im
provement of the industrial and eoclal con
dition of the metropolis.
It Is truly American and thoroughly demo-
cratle. bridging over ( he chasm between
"Iho classes" and "the "
mastea , uniting both
by the best bond ot practical fellowship and
sympathy
Though only a little over two years old ,
already Iho young association has a member
ship of about 4.00 , representing capital and
wage-earning alike , and almost as many
trailiH as the proverbial "Jack" was master
of The millionaire' Kits side by side with
the shoennker , while the fashionable young
woman from upper I end o in hobnobs with the
factory girl , apparently with equal pleasure
and henetU lo nil concerned
Thu only Indispensable qualification for
membership U a deep , active Intercut In
social reform , and especially lu the eleva
tion of the society by the bettering of the
fortunea of the wage-earner.
The dues are 5 ocntd a month , or $3 a
year , tome mpinbera preferring to makei the
full payment at one time. There la alto a
voluntary Hit of members willing to con
tribute money to further thu objects of the
club. Ti'kh the fuudi thu provided the
club rents two large rooms down town In
closn vicinity to the homes of many ot the
humbler representatives. These nre open
dally from 10 In the morning until mid
night and are sued freely for ordinary club
purpose ? They are pleasant , cheery rooms ,
comfortable as well as useful , and well sup
plied with books , magazines and papers.
Tin : IMIOOHAM ron Mnr/rtNos.
Kvery Tuesday evening the regular meet
ing occurs , which U always preceded by a
short confcrci.ce of the executive council ,
who discust and adjust the club's business
matters. The feminine representatives turn
out In full force at these reunions , and do
their share of the talking. The program
usually consists ot an address by some well
known man or woman , or by one who , though
not so familiar to the public In general , Is
R leader In his or her particular trade or
avocation. At the close questions arc asked
and a gei.tral discussion entered upon.
The members of the gentler sex hold ex-
elusive femlt Ine meetings Thursday evenings
at the club rooms , when topics arc chosen
that bear particularly on the woman ques
tion in some- phase such as shorter hours
of work , more privileges from her employer ,
organized labor ATul broader questions that
concern woman In the abstract as well as
the Individual.
Two winters ago the women's group , as
they style themselves , took up the study
of political economy , and at their weekly-
gatherings read papers on various economic
subjects. The past season they have been
hard at work on municipal questions. They
have formed a union label league , nnd arc
busy trying to make known Its object , and
to gain popularity for their work. It Is their
desire to Induce householders or "con
sumers , " as they term them to purchase
goods that are marked with the union label ,
denoting that they are made under fair and
wholesome conditions. These labels are
found on bread crackers , cigars , tobacco ,
nhocs , hats , brooms , garments , canned goods
and a great quantity of other commodities
Another Important piece of work In which
the women's group took active measures was
the mercantile Inspection bill , which their
zeal did much toward passing. They are still
keeping a careful watch that It is enforced.
THE QLUU'S AIMS.
Some of the subjects that have elicited
more than ordinary attention from the fair
MRS. HARRIET STANTON niSDTCII.
members have been police lodgings , the
city Jail , fieo lodgings for vagrants , tene
ments , basement stores and dwellings , and
the Influence of the janltress of a tenement
building.
Among the definite alms of the club ,
wherein the women Join the men , are the
securing of homo rule for Greater New
York , direct action by the people on Im
portant laws , public control of public fran
chises , civil service reform , a lower gas
rate , shorter hours , compulsory education
for children , free public markets , better san
itation , Increase of playgiounds and parks ,
Increase of public bathe , the study of the
problem of the unemployed , the advance
ment of tbe Interests of organized labor , and
many other much needed und sensible re
forms. I

on ft Pullman sleeper and two on a Wagner
car I've clmmwi my mind "
"Havo vou come back with a sleeping car

settling hlnuutMn the chair as if prepared
to enjoy n B tvl { hlng.
"No I have only n rstfvn er8 complaint.
Thanks to a' fried digestion and an caoy
confidence , lic/yi sleep anywhere when the
time for slumbpn rolls around , but 1 can't
get dressed \Mthout a basis for operations
that Is big etfoilj li to stand on. "
"Will jouipleahe tell me why. " she went
on , "when a sleeping car la built a com

of the car tot men , whl ! " .1 little two by

allotted women for a toilet loom' The men
nearly alwa > s have plenty of space In which
to move about and four or five good-sired
wash basins with a proportionately generous
fharc of other nece sary things. Hut In
the women's toilet room there are , at the i
most , two wash stands and two mirrors , and '
often there Is but one of a kind.
"It In all one woman with long hair and
a flaring skirt can do to drccs In such a
cubbhoie , but get two women , or even
three , In the place , and It Is comparable
only to the black hole of Calcutta lver ! >
time the long haired woman draws a comb
through her trefses she runs the risk of
breaking the mirror and Incidentally punch
ing out the eyes of the other occupants
Psually she gives up , and flattens hcruulf
meekly against the wall , saving 'I'll wait
until vou nre through. '
"There was a bride In my car the other
day. She wanted to look beautiful , of
course , anil so she wab anxious to have hcrj
hair curled properly. It wasn't the kind of
hair that does Its own crimping and 11 had !
flattened out sadly In the night. She had aj
llttlo alcohol lamp with her and was at-l
tempting to heat a pair of tongs over its |
blue flame. The poor girl was just on thu
point of teais when I appeared. She had
been there a long time , but had been so
bumped and pushed and crowded by other
women that bho hadn't made much progress
In her drcsslngi She had scorched her hair
nnd burnt her forehead and a draft from
j the opening door had put out her alcohol
| flame. 'O , dear ! I must get some more
matches from my husband , ' she said and I
knew from her blubh and from the way
the words 'my husband' stuck In her throat
that It was probably the flrst time she had
ever uttered them to a stranger
"It isn't so bad In the winter , but in tha
summer time , wheu It is illlllcnlt to keep
cool and clean under the best conditions ,
women positively suffer when traveling
"Tho flrst thing -woman docs on enterIng -
Ing a sleeper Is to count the number of
women and children present and make he"
pUns accordingly. There is a difference of
opinion as to whether It Is better to descend
on the toilet room early or late. There are
disadvantages about both plans. It is simply
Impossible to get ahead of the woman who
Is always thgre flrst. She Is a disagreeable
pcrbon , who takes possession at some un
canny hour and locks herself In and others
out. She makes a leisurely toilet whllo
other women pound on the door and linger
In the passageway , In various states of
dishabille and disheveled locks. Then , If
ono waits until everybody else Is gone , one
Is sure to lobe one's connections , or break
fast , or temper. And If one plunges In
mcdlas res , one either has to trample on
other people's feelings and toes or else be
trampled on , What can a poor woman
do ? "
"Swear , " said the man , synipathctlcallj ,
but Irrelevantly.
"No , that wouldn't do , " answered the
woman , sadly. "I wonder If a plea from all
the traveling women of the country would
move the hearts of these high aud mighty
sleeping car magnates ? I doubt It. "

While much has been said and printed
about the son rit Hetty Green , AmerlcA's

Green cannot hldt the Incompetence of Miss
Svlvla Green's dressmakei.
Jloro striking , however , than either her
face or her clothing Is a icrtain timidity In
her bearing. She Is naturally modest , but
there Is something In her face that suggests
fear. It Is said that this expression , which
icbts upon her naturally sweet face as a
cloud mars a summer hkj , Is due to the fact
that she has actually been followed In the
streets by cranks , matrimonial and other
wise , until she dreads to go into the street
alone. This btatcintnt would seem Inciedible
wure It not obtained from close friends of
the voung woman , who arc not only seri

. When Miss Green came to the Knlckci-
becker Howling club the other afternoon
there was a timidity In her bearing that
was absolutely painful. She was In search of
her friend , Mrs. Isaac Lawrence , who nan
her sponsor for membership In the club , and
who has undertaken to Introduce her Into
New York society , a task that would appear
to be easy of accomplishment In vlow of
