NEW YORK, Aug. 10. It Is tho en

has come to tho conclusion that woman loves
It, not only because It Is cool and easy,
but because she feels sho looks young when

make It how and of what you will, an In
definable, but none tho less surely unmis
takable, air of Juvenility about It an alt

A woman of 50, arrayed In n smart shirt

of pretty muslin, percale, silk and flanne:

At tblsrtlomcnt the reigning shirtwaist
loans to spots or tucks or Insertions, and
tho fcmlnlno populace Is bent on wearing

different and wholly commendable ways
of decking sleeves, and every day sees

that every woman Is a law unto herself
In tho making of her nrm casings. She Is

that bind them to their own race. On this
account the Indlnn Territory has of late
years shown a great Increase In tho number
of half-breeds.
Various means have at times been
adopted to check this evil and to reserve
to the red man not only his lands nnd cat
tle, but his women as well. Somo years
ngo the legislature ot the Indian nation
passed a law requiring that a too ot
$1,000 be paid by those desiring to contract
a mixed marriage. Hut there wero plenty
of whlto men on the border who were
willing to pay that amount tor a bride as
long as thero was a certainty that she
would bring to him ten times that sum.
And so for a loug time past there has
been maintained a disgraceful trafllc In
brides, neuutltul young squaws havo been
placed upon the miction block and knocked
down to tho highest bidder. Oftentimes
they thus become the unwilling brides ot
worthless husbands. Tho barbarous cus
tom has drawn many whlto ndvonturers,
attracted merely by pecuniary gain, for
many of tho squaws have a hcadrlght
worth $5,000 or more, Tho conslderatlqn

about J10 ench. At a sain lust January
n pretty member of tho Osngo trlbo was
sold for 281 ponies, or $2,830. The white
men usually muko arrangements with tho
father of tho girl to pay a trivial sum
down and to pay tho remainder of the
price for tho bride In labor.
It Is not tho whites ulono who purchase
wics at theso auctions. Quanah I'arkcr,
chief of Comanches, Is a pronounced
polygamlst, he being credited with no less
than olght wives purchased at tho miction
mart. Ten years ago tho young warrior
becamo smitten with the churms of Too
nocey, nn unusually nttractlvo and well
educated maiden. Tho father strongly
favored Parker's suit. Tho girl's wishes
were not consulted. She was commanded,
however, to encourage tho young war
rior's advances. Thero was brisk compe

squelched his rival by bidding GOO ponies,
which wns moro than ho possessed and

satisfied tho girl's fathor that he would

Tho Osages do not let a brldo go on a

race for the bride's pony nnd maiden squaws
compoto in tho sumo way for hor robe. Dur
ing tho festivities the bride, elaborately
gowned in a white robo of buckskin covered
with silk and adorned with many orna

emerges from hor wigwam, During tho race
for her pouy tho bride's mother divests 'her
of her beautiful wedding garments, leaving
her clad only In a nlgbtrobe. Then the
bridegroom runs from hU wigwam, throws
his blanket around her and carries her oft
to his happy home. No word Is spoken
throughout tho ceremony. After tho wed

Hare Ohlviilry Shown lo Women In
South Ainrrli'n.
In South America tho men hold women in
tho highest respect. Not only do they ac
cord them tho polite distinction of outward
deference, says the Woman's Homo Com
panion, but they guard them with an ear
nest solicitude that protects them from every
care and thoy bear for them every burden
that man can carry for woman. Tho chiv
alry ot the olden time survives among these
ptople and that Is doubtltas one reason why
tho womon are bo contented with their lot.
A charming senora assured me that tho
South American women make tho best wives
in tho world and I do not doubt It. After
marriage the woman Is as one lost to the
world. Her career Is finished o far as mat
ters outside her domestic affairs aro con
cerned. Her sphere ot Influoaco b hence-
forth Inclosed within the triple courts of her
husband' house and consists In bringing up
her children and In exercising a mild sov
ereignty In her domestic domain.
Thcro are no married flirts In South Amer
ica, no scandals caused by unfaithful wives,
no ambitious women pining In their secluded
homes, so far as Is known. Thero are no
woman's rights conventions, no woman's
temperance societies, no daughters', no
mothers' meetings. Thero Is not even a
woman's whist club lu the wholo country.
Tho wife knows nothing of the family finan
ces and she is not consulted in the consid
eration of her husband's serious affairs. The
question may well bo asked by the women
of the United States, "What In the world
do these women do with their time?" and
the answer is that their days are quite as
full of activity, mentnl and physical, ns
they wish them to be. South American
women do not crave tho freedom and the
publicity of life they see enjoyed by their
sisters In this country. They prefer the
seclusion with tho protection of their own
method of life. They aro very charitable,
too, and aro kindness Itself to the poor peo
ple In their neighborhood, as thoy send por
tions of bread and meat every day to their
poor nclahbors.
AVO.MAN AND HUH Sl'HHltn.
Home Drnwhnrkn to W'linl I Cnlleil
Advancement of the Svx,
It Is n curious line of thought which Irre
sistibly opens Itself, soys n writer In tho
Womnn'6 Home Journal, when the oyo roads
lu ono column ot a newspaper a very proud
feminine account of how a certnln woman
has become a skilled locomotive engineer,
and then In the next column sees nn nc
count of how n man, n member of a hu
mano society, compelled a mother to put
long stockings on tho bare legs of her fash
ionably attired child, and with that ono ac
tion taught nn object lesson which appealed
directly to tho common senso ot hundreds
of fashlonnblo mothers throughout the
country. Side by side, too, In another paper
only a few days ngo were the account of
tho remarkable acumen of a woman Judge
In a western court nnd tho recltnl of n
largo New York dealer In baby carriages
who acknowledged that his trade In go
carts had been Irretrievably ruined by
mothers who had refused to purchaso them
because of n recently published cautionary
artlclo written by a man.
Not long ago an article was published
showing that nil tho Infant foods now In
uso were, without a slnglo exception, the
Inventions ot men. This article was copied
In a paper which contained nn account of a
woman's congress boforo which the most
prominent speaker had uttered tho ex
quisitely womanly statement that It wns "a
far greater and nobler thing for a woman
to bo u woman than to bo u mother." At
tho very time u so-called "International
woman's congress" was being held In Lon
don last summer, nt tho closo of which nn
English woman made tho statement In pub
lic, and proved it, that every subject ap
pertaining to woman's llfo was discussed
oxcopt motherhood, u notable scientific nnd
medical congress wns being hold In tho
samo city, nt which tho greatest doctors
In the world wero discussing various new
methods for tho prevention of children's
diseases.
A woman in Massachusetts last winter
said bctoro a hallful of women that In pro
portion as a wife gavo herself up to her
children In Just tho samo ratio did sho nar
row her life and shut out from her mind
"tho broader problems which affect woman's
higher destiny." That same evening one of
tho most noted college presidents In Amer
ica mado an address In an auditorium filled
with young men, It) which he declared that
tho highest and deepest leteons In life he
had ever learned had been taught to hlin
by the children of his home. "They have
been my educators," ho said.
At a club meeting of women In New
York last November "a wonderfully In
spiring article," according to tho entry
In tlio official record of the club, wus read
"by ono of our mci?t cultivated members"
on the great value to women of their .grow
ing liberation from large tamlllca. At the
samo time, under olllclal authority of the
United StatcH government, It was asserted,
as a deduction from reliable Investigations
and statistics, that whero the families of
America were smallest In the number of
children It was found that woman's llfo
waa emptiest, the grado of both Intelli
gence nnd domestic happlners lowest and
tho health of women poorest. A recent
number of n paper "edited for women by
women," with nn oyc single to "the broad
est womanhood," devoted three of its large
blanket pages to a discussion pointing nut
that a married woman lost but another
grain of her Individuality if, upon marriage,
she dropped her own first name and as
sumed that of her husband, nut In n

are Imitated. When sho serves a tomato

luscious specimens, fllU them with mayon

flowers nnd daintily veined leaves.
Her strawberry shortcakes aro the puffiest

cooked In milk to creamy whiteness, and

loves rice ns sho serves It, and never a
thought ot un "almond eye" Intrudes upon
tho appetite.
Tho plebeian potato assumes a fnlry guise
under her magic touch. With a rlccr she
transforms them from prosaic tubers Into
fluffy snowflnkes that tempt the most er
ratic appetite; and, better still, she gar
nishes a golden brown roast with them.
Sometimes sho exorcises her creative pow
ers still further, nnd with a glass colander
makes them Into ro3es, a bit of butter nest
ling In the heart of each.
Sho serves lettuce In pretty nests of
curled leaves. Or, It only the straight
leaf variety can bo procured, sho fringes
tho edges with a sharp knlfo and chills
them In a colander on tho Ico to crisp
perfection. In tho center of the nests,
halt hidden, Is a spoonful of delicious
salad dressing,
Sho makes half-grown cucumbers Into
cunning canoes (chilled), tilled with n
mixture of tomato, celery, onion (chopped
fine), und mayonnaise, cappod with a
graceful sprig of parsley, and sorves them
upon a bed of dewy green.
Muskmolons und wutormelons are cut to
resemble hugo pond lilies and served upon
thin cakes of lco edged with a 'trailing

When she uses hard boiled eggs for
