For and About Women Folks
W n rn v n Ran the Tow.
1MB real Elen of thin country, as
suming the reports ars correct, la
Enosburg Falls, Vt. There ara
several Adama there, enough for
all practical purposes, but they
Son I count for much In clvto affairs. The
town la run by tlio Woman's Improvement
Society and the women run the society.
Bom years ago a board of trade was or
ganised for the purpose of encouraging In
dustries In the town and because of ioor
management and Inability to accomplish
anything which might benefit the business
Interests the organization died a natural
death.
It was then that the women took the
matter up and Beptember S, 1896, some
twenty-three of the gentler sex organised
the village Improvement society.
During the laid ten year, or since the
Society was organized, 112,000 has been ex
pended by the executive board In improve
ments. Among the first and most Import
ant accomplishments of the society was the
purchase and Improvement of a beautiful
piece of land In the center of the village,
trhlch Is known as Lincoln park. The land
was formerly owned by the First Baptist
Society and was a low, swampy piece of
ground with an urea of about an acre,
which was a menace to the health of the
community.
Attempts had been made by the citizens
to purchase the swamp and nil It In with
gravel, but those who were directly inter
ested In the purchase were unable to collect
sufficient money to buy It, so they aban
doned the proposition. Borne weeks later
the women took the matter up at their reg
ular meeting and a committee that waited
Upon the trustees was Informed that a pri
vate Individual wanted to buy the lard, but
that they would give the Improvement so
ciety twenty-four hours to pay the full
mount, some II, wO.
In the town today there are two parks
and, besides spending considerable money
each year on thoee grounds, the society
pays out several hundred dollars for keep
ing the grass plots between the streets
and sidewalks trimmed down and beautify.
Ing the trees along the highway. For
these Improvements each member Is as
sessed and subscriptions from the male
portion of the town are solicited. During
the year the society holds parties, gives a
lecture course and occasionally other en
tertainments. The proceeds ars all devoted to one pur
' pose and that is beautifying the town. The
women personally supervise the work and
as a result of their active Interest the discovered
happy men Is Hampton Lee, a handsome
young fellow from Richmond, Va., a stu
dent st Columbia university.
Red hot pincers wild horses would not
drsg a syllable from the chivalrous Lee
of what he saw at the bal masque. But
Mr. Lee's closest friends have noticed that
he has been In joyous, though silent mood
ever sine the hall. Occasionally he ex-
according to Everybody's Magazine, one
man remarked to another:
'.'This Is the first time I ever traveled over
this line without a newly married pair on
board. I have been studying the passen
gers and there Is not a bridal couple among
them."
Just then the train stopped and a m-vn
who had been seated with a lady and a
claims, while his eyes flash and a blush llttls girl across the aisle walked to the
suffuses his face:
"Oh, those Gold-dust Twlnsl

cried yestorday, apropos of nothing, seem

Womn Who Command Regiments.
European women art popularly supposed
to possess fewer rights than their Ameri
can sisters; yet on distinction enjoyed by
them Is llttls known on this side of the
ocean. Tn ths Prussian army alons the
commanders of fourteen regiments Ars
annual women; and, although ths position Is purely
masked ball Is given In the great aissembly formal, yet these female colonels enjoy
room of the hall, the students invite only ths military rank with ths male holders of
their female friends.
Besides, any man rash enough to try
to snter ths ball room would have to
pass ths ever watchful eyes of Mrs. Farns
worth, manager of ths hall, and of
"Mother" Daniels, who, flguratlvsly, of
course. Is ths Incubator of all ths virtues
with which her lovely end chaste brood
Is so richly endowed.
Wearing his swallowtail, his head com
pletely hidden by a mask, Lee walked
mlnclngly past those guardians of Inno
cence, Mrs. Farnsworth and "Mother"
Daniels.
The students, who had exhausted their
ingenuity in devising Quaint and striking
costumes, gathered In a big anteroom.
Ths orchestra struck up a march, ths
doors were thrown open and two and two
the student msskers entered the hall.
There were milkmaids, shepherdesses and
fairies, Dinahs, Topsles, Queens of Night.
Never before did such an array of love
liness pass before the entranced gass of
a single young gentleman. Ths guileless
young women gave themselves up to en
joyment Then a louder shout of silvery laugh
ter echoed through ths hall. Ths "Oold
Dust Twins" entered. Everybody knows
them by sight. Ths two merry girls who
personated the helpful pair wore complete
sets of black flashings and ballst dancers'
skirts. Their faces were blackened.
Lee's hands trembled, the mask fell. A
chorused shriek of alarm told him he was

center of the village, Is easily the better.
The grounds are kept In excellent condi

taken care of during the warm months.
In addition to the work of Improving the
appearance of the village the society until
recently devoted a part of Its contributions
each year to buying new books for the
town ptibllo library. Rome two years aero
ths citizens made provision for a fund for
that purpose and since then the women's
organisation has been relieved of that ex

Dredging for a husband is a develop
ment of the time which causes much
amusement to the observant, says Truth. A
girl who occupies a good position In "so
ciety" and Is intelligent soon discovers
that the number of rich bachelors of her
own standing in life Is very limited, that
most of them are almost captured already
and that many of them will have little to
do with her.
Bhe then commences to "dredge" the bed
of the social stream. Burled In the gravel
of this are many rich men, the suns of
still obscure financiers, manufacturers or
merchants, ard careful dredging often
brings some of them to the surface. Then
the connections are generally cast back
Into the water rind only the valuable elder
son retained for use.
"Dredging parties" have recently be
come the rage. An exrert "dredger"
spends the winter In gathering the neces
sary material In hotels on the continent
and In other directions and In the spring
and summer gives a series of at homes to
West End "customers," charging a com
mission on each completed transaction.
Thus a "customer" captivates a "dredged"
bachelor nnd becomes engaged to him. If
his Income Is 10,000 a year the per
centage is capitalized and the amount Is
paid to the "dredger" on the wedding eve
by the parents of the girl.
The "dredgers" have hitherto mostly been
ths divorced Wives or widows of knights
or baronets, but as the business Is so re
munerative many of the best known
women In London are adopting It. for It Is
obvious that i dtirhess would be able to
rake the "social" dee? much more effect
ively than can even s woman who has
made one renutatton In "society" by losing
another In the divorce court.

Prays, Then Deals la Bonds.
Mrs. J. Alden Uayiord, head of a bond
Investment Arm that bears her name, firmly
believes that financial success can be gained
in Wall street by godly business methods,
conducted through spiritual guidance, tihe
says she is advised by the spirit of her
dead husband, who founded the business
she conducts. .
"There is no place In the world," said
Mrs. Gay-lord to a New York Herald re
portor, "where there are so many Christian
and godly men as In Wall street. Other
wise." she added, "where would I be?"
Mrs. Gaylord has achieved the distinction
of taking ovor the management of the bond
business which was founded by her lata
husband forty years ago. The concern,
which occupies a suite of offices on the third
floor of the Mills building, was one of the
first tenants In the building. In which it
has been located for twenty-four years. .
Bhe Is conducting the business on original
linos, and expressed the confident belief
that she will make several million dollars
ths title, and, on oocnslon, wear the uni
form of their offlrs. The distinction Is not
confined to Oerman women, although re
served for those through whoss vstns flows
royal, or, at least, prlnoely blood'.
Those Who have been thus honored are
as follows: Ths grand duchess of Mock-lenburg-Schwerln,
ths grand duchess of
Baden, the Empress Alexandra of Russia,
ths crown princess' of Greece, ths Empress
Augusta Victoria of Germany, ths duchess
of Connaught, ths queen dowager of Hol
land, ths princess of Sachsen-Melnlngen,
ths queen dowager of Italy, ths princess of
Bchaumburg-Llppe, ths Princess Frederick
Karl of Hessen, ths Princess Karl of Prus
sia, Queen Wllhelmlna of Holland and ths
grand duchess of Mecklenburg. Of these
befrocked commanders eight belong to the
Infantry, three to the garde de corps and
three to ths cavalry.
Woman Patent lawyer.
Miss Florence King of Chicago lays Claim
to ths distinction of being the only woman
patent attorney In the United States. De-
cause of her specialty she confines ner
practice to ths United States courts. She
Is the fourth woman ever admitted to prac
tice tn ths supreme court of ths United
States.
Miss King Is thoroughly versed In me
chanics, chsmlstry, electricity, hydraulics.
etc. Such hitherto unexplored fields of
science for women present no Insurmount
able difficulties to her. Bhe Is a graduate
of Armour Institute of Technology as well
as of Kent College of Law.
She was born In a little log cabin near
Waterloo, Ta., and was left an orphan
when S years old. . She attended the little
country school, one of many children all
variously graded, but huddled together In a
close, ill-ventilated room.
One day Miss King was subpoenaed to
appear In the county court as a witness In
a case on trial. She was about 18 years
old, and until then she had supported her
self In various ways, her first money being
earned by working In a kitchen at $1.26 a
week.
During this trial, which proved a turn
ing point In her career, she was Impressed
with the dignity of the judge, the legal
tilts of the attorneys, and the solemn at
mosphere of the place. The strongest Im
pression was made by the court stenog
rapher. The girl set out for Mount Morris col

HO, worked her way through college and
was graduated with honors, the only glrhln

Next she came to Chicago, her first ex

little later she secured a similar position tn

Empire evenmg gowns In crepe de chine
and chiffon are about the prettiest things
seen for some time.
Ribbon embroidery has been lavishly ap
plied to the season's parasols, with varying
degrees of success, according to the ar
tlstio skill of the designer.
Soft silks In pale colors are being made
Into charming spring gowns. Many of the
models are delightfully simple. The skirts
are wide and full, and in a number of
cases are trimmed only with tucks.
Linen parasols heavily embroidered In
blind embroidery, with perhaps a little
open eyelet work scattered through the
design, are as popular as they were last
summer, but are novel only in respect to
tbe embroidery designs.
Small two-tone black checks and broken
small plaids In shndes of some neutral
color vis with the hairline checks In popu
larity, and both In the smoky grays and
the modes of tones these designs enter
largely Into the new suitings.
Handles for parasols show nothing par
ticularly new. On the whole, the smooth
painted handle of wood colored to harmon
ize with the parasol cover Is the one most
In use, and the embroidered lingerie para
sols, as a rule, have smooth white wood
handles.
Ths colors of the hew silks and other
grown materials ara delightful. The coral
shades, for example, are exquisite. There
Is a red without a suggestion of brilliancy,
yet rich and satisfying. Other beautiful
shades are lilac, mauve, mignonette, soft
gray and flower-like pinks and yellows.
Rainbow silks are especially alluring, as
are also the silks and chiffons with flower
printed borders.
Whits and black effects amount to a
mania In the early showing of models and
fabrics, and every possible variation upon
white and black checks, plaids, stripes,
dots, etc., Is wrought net only in woolens,
but also tn silks and cottons. Some of
ine very prettiest of the new silks are tn
lustrous white messallne checked off in
ratner large squares of, say, a
inch, by a clear line of black.

party. Mother dreised him In his
fresh white suit and gave him the
little package he was to take to
Bert because It was Bert's birth
day. -Now, remember to be my little
gentleman," she said, and Easter called
from the kitchen door, "Be sho yo' act as
good as yo look."
Evans meant to be very good, and it
wasn't hard at first because every one else
was good, and Bert's mother had so many
games planned for them. After a time she
banded each boy the end of a ribbon. "You
must follow It until you find the other
end," she said, and Evans followed his out
into the hall and upstairs In the nursery,
whers It was wound round and round
baby's crib, then down the hall to the back
stairs. Some of the other children were
there, too. The ribbons led Into the dining
room, and Bert's sister was handing each
boy a plate of ice cream and cake. Evans
looked at It longingly, then he ran away as
fast as he could go. He remembered that
mother had often said, "Little gentlemen
do not want something to eat when they are
visiting."
He sat down on the stairs alone and tried
not to cry, but the tears would hardly stay
back. Bert's sister cams In search of him
pretty soon, but he would not go with ber;
so she telephoned mother that Evans must
be sick, because he would not have lunch

dered a miuute, then shs laughed and had
Evans coma to ths telephone. "I forgot to

The Wtj Father Spells.
I'm having such a dreadful tlms
At learning how to spell!
You see, I'm just a Utile girl,
And can't do very well.
I've been to school for two months now,
And so some words I know;
For teacher writes It on the board,
And says "g-o" spells "go."
I've learned thst "r-a-t" spells "rat,"
And "h-e-n" spells "hen;"
That Rover Is a "d-o-g.
And "B-e-n" Is "Ben. ,
My teacher says she thinks that I
Am doing very well;
But father spells a different way.
And says, "Sh! don't you tell!''
Tou see, my names are Alice May,
And my last name is Hell,
And yesterday I spelled them out
At school before them all.
My teacher said. "That's nicely done!"
And so at horns last night
I si-ll-d them out for father mine.
And thought I had them right.
But father said, "You're wrong, my pet;
For 'A-l-l-c-e'
8plle 'darling.' dear, and 'M-a-y
Spells 'sweetheart' don't you Bee?"
I told him what my teacher said.
But he declared, "Oh, no!
That's not the way your father spells;
Your teacher doesn't know."

Don't forget your good manners when
there ia no company present. You ows ths
sum courtesy to tbs numbers of your own
family that you ows to outsiders.
Don't sing or whistle at ths table during
meals, and don't forget to say "please"
and "thank you" to those who wait upon
you at ths table. This rule of politeness
should apply to servants as well as to thoee
who ars seated at ths tabls with you.
Don't leave your rooms untidy when
going out of them ia ths morning, (or so
ons knows so well as yourself where your
cloiblng should be folded or hung.
Don't speak la a loud, saoitabls voice, and
always avoid being "noisy" or boisterous.
Very loud laughter is also objectionable.
One may enjoy cheerful conversation and
tnsrry laughter without being heard out
