The fiulh6r of "Present Day nsypt , " Mr.
Frederic B. I'cnflsld , has eomethlnK to say
of woman's position In Egypt , In an article
rtn the Octcfoor Century entitled "In Koscl-
EAtlng Cairo. "
Woman's position In the Egyptian cnpltal
In materially benefited ( by the movement
looking toward the education of natlvo
fclrls. Twenty jcars opo native ladles re
garded education na the learning of sum-
( lent French or Italian to rend novels or
follow the plot of the opera. The la t few
> oara has developed a deslro among the
uppor-claas women to have their daughters
educated with as much care ns boys ore ,
and an Important ndjunct to the household ,
consequently , Is the Kuropcrtn governess ,
'most often Unglloh. A sister of the khc-
Ivo , the Prlnocfa Khndlja , Is an. active
agent In Improving the educational status
of foot girls.
Most women visitors to Cairo arc curious
< o see the Interior of a harem. Dut this , ns
I3uropcana understand ill , no longer exists
In Egypt. Every natlvo house , however ,
baa Itfl harem division , set apart for women ,
as the samallk Is for men nothing more.
In this department reside the v tfo or wives
and children of the master , with the addi
tion , perhaps , of his mother. In" this 0193
her rule Is probalbly absolute. It Is aho who
choosea Instniotrcfecs for the children , or-
Core the affairs of the houaahold , and even
prescribes the fabrics , fashions , and orna
ments for Lho women , TV'ho nro simply the
wlvoa of his excellency , tlio Pasha. It Is
mobhor-ln-law rule , literally. Tlio windows
of the harem \lsually overlook a courtyard
or rear street , and arc screened with mush-
raboah lattices , penetrable only by the Raze
of a person within. To minister to the wants
of th < a woman's division , a email army of
qorvants chlny Mack "slaves" from Nubia
and llorber , and possibly a tolr Circassian
or two , Imported from Constantinople * Is
essential. "Slavery" of this sort Is scarcely
bondage. It Is the law of Egypt that manu-
mifcslon can ( bo had for the asking , -with
llttlo circumlocution or delay. Thcso servi
tors nro kindly treated , value their home ,
and shrink from any movement toward legal
fr6wlom. Except to the master and sons of
the house , the harem la closed to all men ,
but "women " friends como and go freely. TAe

from childhood to keep unauthorized persons
'from Intruding , and have a highly developed
aversion to elght-sccra.

"Worry wears out more people than work

In families than either sickness or poverty , "
writes Mrs. Moses P. Handy In the October
Woman's Homo'Companion. "Indeed , the

WHERE DISILLUSIONS 11EGIN.
An Experiment Lovcr Would Do
AVcll to .Make.
In n parlor of a hotel , relates Woman's
Homo Companion , the conversation turned
upon ill-assorted marriages , and especially
upon the Illusions of the days of courtship ,
and ono gentleman related his experience.
Ho had been charmed by a young , beautiful
irreature , whoso attractiveness , as ho after
ward found , lay largely In her ability to setoff
off her fine points through tasteful dress and
by little arts of the toilet. Her musical
voice seemed like a bird's notes.
Ono morning ho conceived the idea of sur
prising her In her homo in a suburb of the
city. Ho wondered It he should find her out
among the flower-beds , and was somewhat
disappointed on arriving at her home and
looking around the attractive lawn that he
caught no glimpse of the ono being who
made his world. Ho stepped upon the ver
anda , and ns ho waited ho heard a voice.
Could It bo that of the charmer ? It could
not be possible , for these were the harsh ,
shrill tones of a scold. Ho rang again , nnd
the servant appeared. Ho asked for the
young lady , and then 'through tbo half-open
door ho saw a flying figure with hair In curl-
papeite and disordered gown and heard
an exclamation that lie could not have im
agined as coming from the delicate llpe of the
young creature. Ho hesitated. Should he
retreat ? Ho decided that It was Impossible
for him to do so In good order , BO ho waited
In the parlor. Ho confc Jsed that ho never
could have told Just how ho mot the beauty
when'eho appeared In her lovely negligee
gown , her soft hair waving above the fair
brow too fair to bo natural ho found now
In the sober light of th morning and of
reason. The tones were sweet nnd low ,
trained with marvelous eklll , ho decided , as
he compared them with the voice that might
have boon that of a virago , still seeming to
echo through the open doorway of the wide
hall. That was this last call upon the one
to whom ho had expected to offer his heart ,
hand and all that ho possessed. .

lit ItltllllllOIItl'H Illlll.
Lord Byron's famous poem beginning
"Thoro waa a sound of revelry by night"
and the celebrated bnttlo ot Waterloo are
both commemorated In the person of Lady
Louisa Tlglie.
Near Kilkenny , Ireland , on the banks of
Ulver Nore , lies Woodstock , the > vast estate
of Lady Loulso Tlghe nnd here , surrounded
by every luxury and loved nnd honored by
all who know her , lives the daughter of the
duke of Richmond , who almcet a century ago
buckled on Lord Wellington's sword when
ho left Bruraela on tbo campaign which
amazed the world.
Dominated by Its superb baronial man
sion of granite , hewn and carved on the es
tate , Woodstock extends over a circuit of
forty miles nnd Its walks , joada , nnd drives
extend BOO miles. Connected with the estate -
tate are como curious privileges , among
which IB the right of tenants to lay all their
ertovanccH or disputes before the lodge of the
manor not entering the house to do BO , but
Btandlng in a court yard directly outside ot
the study window.
Nearby Is ibo ehcotlng tower , a building
overlooking the wldo preserves , Though
deer are killed by the hundred , only the right
fildo of the animal Is over cookea and eaten
nt WcodMock , It la supposed this custom
arose from 'tho fact that In generations gone
by a favorite animal waa accidentally
wounded on tha left sldo and Its owner de
clared that henceforth In tbo length and
breadth of Woode-tock no deer should ever
bo shot or harmed unleta the sportsman
touched the right side.
On this portion of the grounds alone 200
men are employed and on what Is called the
"home farm , " adjacent , 300 men work dally
In all seasonn , whllo moro than 100 women
nnd glrla are hired simply to gather the
fallen leaves and vtwd gardenbods , Lady
Louisa being , even In her extreme old ago ,
ardently Interceded In her own eex. These
workers , Jn order to preserve a picture ef
fect , are costumed at her ladyship's expense ,
In a uniform of green and white , made In the
meet becoming peasant style. The skirts , of
shamrock green , are pinned back over eklrts
of a darker liuo and the tonnets are of
plaited utniw of the quaint cottage pattern ,
tied , under the chin.
In all of the six lodges at Woodstock the
persons employed have been chosen with a
direct view toward giving them specially ap
propriate occupatlonR. Women who are
compelled by Ices of fortune to become eelf-
sunportlng are Installed , 'whllo ' the various
Inilldlngs erected on the grounds also typify

Had It not been fpr a woman the Oceanic ,
lovlathan of the seas , ' woufd'nover have bebn
built. The wlfo of William J. Pirrle , do-
elgner'of tho'biggest ' steamship In the World ,
and not Mr. Plrrlo himself , Is directly re
sponsible for the mighty ship. She kept him
from going to Parliament , where ho might
have spent the rest of his days.
"Don't to Parliament Willie "
go , , said
good Mrs. Pirrle. "You can build boats bet
ter than you can make speeches. "
"By Jove , you'ro right , my dear , " re
sponded her husband , and so tbo Oceanic
was built.
At least that was the way Mr. Pirrle put
it Friday , seated in a hlg arm chair In the
lounging room at the Waldorf-Astoria with
Mrs. Plrrlo at his side. The firm of Harland
& Wolff , of which he Is the head , built the
Oceanic at Belfast.
"Yes , " laughed Mr. Pirrle. "It Is my wife
who is responsible for our big boat. In fact
she knows as much about It as I do. She
followed the plans as keenly as I did for
the two and a half years which wo took In
designing and building the Oceanic. It was
she who suggested many clever things about
the arrangement of the ship. She suggested
all the decorations. "
Mrs. Pirrle Is a handsome woman of tbo
blonde type , with fair "Blue " eyes and n rosy
complexion. Ehe Is young and full of life
nnd vivacity.
"Wihy shouldn't I have helped wlLn the
Oceanic ? " she laughed , X knew ns much
about the big boat as any one. Mr. Ismny ,
you know , used to come over to eeo us at
Belfast nnd wo three , Mr. Plrlre , ho and
myself , talked It over for six months before
the kp < 4 was laid , But when It came to sug
gesting comfortable things for the ship and
In dovlsl-ng decorations I was glad to help.
"I spent months thinking It all over. The
American people know now what lias been
done. I'm proud of the ship , too , for I'm a
shareholder injeolf In the company. Wo are
very proud , tco , of her email coal-consuming
ability. Why , do you know , she burns 380
tons a day , when eome of the small liners
burn 550 and COO tons ?
"I suggested something Ise , too building
< a fililp that would bo absolutely certain to
keep her -time schedules. You will eeo the
Oceania arriving every tlmo at 8 o'clock
Wednesday mornings. Had we put In coal
bunkers big enough to hare her beat all
records wo would have taken up all the room
which Is now given over to the comfort of
tbo paseengors ,
"Wo wcro offered the chance to build the
Shamrock. If It hadn't been for the Oceania
wo ahould have do no It , too. Would It not
have been flne If wo could have built both ?
But tlhat was impossible. "
Husband and wlfo are great friends of Sir
Thomoa Llpton and the other day they re
ceived n telegram from him Inviting them
to visit him on the Erin and have a look at
Shamrock. They are going down the bay
at the first opportunity.

briita mill Dine.
The adtcrents of what Is denominated
the rational dress movement In England
propose to hold , a Jubilee celebration next
month. There Is to be a blcyclo procession
followed by a dinner. The members of the
Rational Dress league Intend to show the
superiority ot progressive raiment , and
prizes are to be awarded for the two moat
rational and womanlike costumes worn.
The demonstration Is to eclipse anything
hitherto planned by the league , for It Is to
bo a kind of jubilee celebration of Mrs ,
Bloomor's entrance Jnto the arcnn of fnmo
In 1849. '
Every now nnd then , says tlio Philadelphia
Times , dress reform has 'been promulgated
In America , but as a movement It has never
mot with substantial success , probably because -
cause the model costumco presented , by most
ot the agitators have been ugly nnd the
majority of women prefer the dress ot
fashion , which hns style , to the dress of
reform , which has none. Whatever Im
provements have been mndo In woman's
dress and there have been many have
been brought nbout not by the dreoa re
formers , but by the gradual gravitation of
fashion toward sense. Athletics , too , have
had an Important Influence on femlnlno nt-
tiro. The shoemakers tell us that women
nro wearing larger shoes , nnd the corset
makers that women nro wearing larger' '
Blaya. Witness , also , the popularity ot the
shirt waist nnd the tnllor-hiadA gown.Vo
have not attained the so-called rational
Ideal advocated by the reformers , never
theless the common sense that Is the pal
liative of numerous evils hns done much
to secure greater comfort , suitability nnd
convenience In the femlnlno wardrobe of
recent years.
I UST WAY TO L1OIIT VOltll HOUSE.

Half the trouble with modern cjcslght
1s said to bo duo to the fact that
people now do so much of their work Indoors
wharo the houics are Imperfectly lighted ,
If this la so , It hchooves us to look well
after our artificial lighting.
It la always much better to hnvo the lo
cation of the lights arranged for when the
pipes or wlrcn nro put In , If the owner
of the house means to occupy It , his wlfo
should go over the building and indicate
where she will need special lights.
She will probably begin with the cellar ,
her first request for a fixture being for ono
near the furnace , which Is generally In
an undented portion of the cellar and al
ways requires f > amo attention nt night. An
other light will bo asked for to show lip
the Interior of the preserve room In the
cellar , nnd another ono near the s'nlrs.
In the kitchen thcro may bo n drop light
In the Center of the roottf , with ft fixture
at the sink where dishes are to bo washed
and such serious work to ho done. If thcro
Is a largo pantry near the Kitchen It should
bo provided with a light , too , for It Is un
reasonable to expett the Servants to spare
the dlshca'and be economical with sugar
and spices when they are compelled to cal
culate locations and qunntltlcs In the dark.
If there Is a butler's pantry It , too , should
bo provided with lights. In the dining
room a large light over the center of the
dining room table Is not only economy , but
a necessity.
IrTslUlng room or parlor the tendency Is
to Hg-litYUio rooms from-tho Bides rather
than from the central chandelier that used
to bo so popular. In the bed rooms brackets
nt each fildo of the dressing table mirror are
roqulrbd. The others may be arranged ac
cording to taste and convenience. The hall
Is generally supplied be6w with a lantern
light and with brafekels at each landing on
the stairway , the upper halls being similarly
equipped.
When electric light wires arc put Into the
house It 1s alwnjs wise to have them en
dorsed by the Insurance underwriters before
they nro pronounced eatlbfactory. The un
certainty of the electricity makes it abso
lutely necessary that the wires should bo
well guarded , so that In case of an nccldent
ttcro can bo no danger'of their setting flro
to the walls. It Is Just ns well ta have
them endorsed by the company by which
the house is Insured and thus avoid the
danger of any later and serious objections
on Its part when there Is an Insurance to be
collected.
Thero" Is"'nothing BO noticeable as * the
artistic'consfructlbn ot the modern house
lighting fixtures' . This ? Is duo In a measure
to the Impulse given to liousehold decora
tions by local and. national societies. Tha
beauty of the hall lanterns challenges ad
miration. Some of itho handsomest of these
are of Iron , wrought Into Intricate patterns
with a eklll that would reflect credit on one
of the great smiths of the mlddlo ngcs.
Thcso lanterns are lined with colored glads
and fitted with chains , BO that the light
falls with soft nnd mellowed beauty on the
rather severe aspect of the entrance room.
The stdo brackets ore equally handsome ,
the shades that accompany them being of
the finest and most 'artistic patterns In glass ,
frosted , cut or colored , and sometimes blown
Into the shape of garden flowers.
UNVEILING THE LADY SLOCOMP.
Slgnnl Tribute of tlic South io n
.Northern Womiiu.
Last Friday the south paid a signal honor
to a woman of the north. Now Orleans un-
vejled a confederate cun that withstood the
attack of a battery of twenty-one guns nt
the taking of the Spanish fort , the last con
federate stronghold to surrender in Mobile
bay. The gun was found after ( ho assault
'
covered with 'the dead bodies of thirteen
soldiers. The gun nnd the brave men , whoso
blood encrusted It for rjiany years , were
members of the famous Slocomb battery ,
made up largely of the flower of the south
ern chivalry. Until nine years ngo the gun
laid burled , to be resurrected toy the His
torical Society qf , Now Orleans , who have
christened It , In deference to the widow of
iho battery's gallant commander , "The Lady
Slocomb. "
Mounted on a granite base , with suitable
Inscriptions on a bronze tablet , "Tho Lady
Slocum" rests on tbo grass plot In front
of the Howard library and facing the statue
of General Leo.
Since the death of Captain Slocomb , who
after the war accumulated a fortune In the
cast , his distinguished widow has con
tinued to live in Cqnnoctlcut , . migrating

and Qroton , Two weeks before the death

"Slocomb Slocomb , " repeated Sherman ,
"whero have I heard the rmrno before ? "
Then a light Illumined the face of Tecumseh ,
and stretching forth his hand bo said feel
ingly , "I want to have a long talk with you ,

deslro of both was never fulfilled. A New
Englander by birth and training , ilre. Slo

manding presence , strong personality and
marked executive ability , ehe Is a power In
every progressive movement ot the commun
ity. Through her efforts the Anna Warner
Bailey chapter succeeded In securing In 1897
from the Connecticut legislature an annual
appropriation of $300 toward the mainte
nance ot Ua memorial bouse a picturesque' '
structure In the etiadow of the droton mon
ument In which nro preserved colonial and
revolutionary relics of varied Interest nnd
value. To Mrs. Slocomb's Indomitable c -
orgy Is also largely duo the legislative mcns-
uro that secured to Connecticut a distinc
tive and authorized etnto flag. Her efforts
are now bent In furthering the organization
of the Connecticut Children of the Revolu
tion. She has enlisted their Interest In a
building fund for the enlargement ot Monument
ment house , by giving thorn 10,000 buttons ,
Inscribed with a fao-slmllo of the etnto flag ,
which they nro pledged to sell at 5 cents a
pleco. In this manner It la calculated that
$500 will bo raised toward the building fund.

The popular plaids have found their way
Into luindsome neck scnifs of silk.
A pietty bow of velvet fbr the hnlr Is
more chic nnd hns more Btyle If a piping
or white sntln or silk is stitched on the
edge. A velvet ribbon an inch and a hil
wldo , with a piped edge. Is very attractive.
Many a small fancy button Is seen on
new gowns , and 'so far the brass ones pre
dominate. They may bo flat or round.
Both are to bo found on the new flannel
shirt waists. ife-
The great dragon flic1 ? or darning needles
for ther hair , larger than llfo and much
moro brilliant with their blue and green
gauze wings , should bo used for summer
rather than'winter decorations.
There are turndown collars on many of
the tailor Jackets and redlngrotes , but those
In standing form are , as a rule , very high
and flaring.
Increasingly great Is the race for lace
nppllquvs In black , white and deep crenm
color , used In elegant gowns , capes , jack
ets , fancy waists , and In high-class mil
linery for the winter.
The receipt for making a hat this year
seems to be nbout the name as for last
season take any , old thlnp and put It to
gether In any old way. Cloth , silk , velvet
ribbons and gauzes are piled together In
discriminately on hat frames.
There are many cut-steel buttons and or
naments for the waist , but among the
latest and moat popular buckles are largo ,
round medallions showing : designs In heads ,
many of them most artistic In design. They
come In gold , silver and enamel and oc
casionally cameo heads are set In the
metal.
Earrings of every shape nnd variety ,
from the gypsy hoop style set with diamonds
mends and other rare gems , to the Blmplo
pearl and onyx screw pattern , are again
displayed by the Jewelers , but It Is to be
hoped that this does not Indicate a return
to the use of so nbsurd an ornament.
Cloth Is getting Us linings in more wnys
than ono. It not only ornaments Bilk
Rowns now , but nil the variations seem to
have been used in the silk ? . It Is used on
hats moro than ever before. White cloth
forms the solo trimming on some long
haired silky felts , with the exception of the
feather , and it forms a part of the decora
tion on others.
There are to bo no hats In the theaters
this winter If there 1 anything prophetic
In the exhibitions In the shops. Innumer
able head ornaments In Jot nnd gauze are
to be aeon nnd n whole entomological col

which would puzzle the entomologists. The
butterfly Is most popular , as heretofore ,
and there are many llttlo head arrange

Tulle About Women ,
Mrs. Bertie Smith , postmistress of Circle
City , Alaska , is the only woman occupying
such a position In the territory.
At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees -

textile Instruction and as special students
in Industrial arts , horticulture , dairy work ,
both butter and cheese-rnakinff , beekeep
