Gardens of Women Writers.
Women writers, when they can make
money enough to Indulge their natural
tastes, seem devoted to gardens, reports the
New York Press. Marlon Harland In pri
vate llfo Mrs. Terlinno-has a notable sou
venir garden at Sunnybank, her summer
home at Pomptnn, N. J. In It she has ac
mumulated slips and cuttings from many
famous spots. She has Ivies from Marie
Antoinette's dairy at Versailles, from 8tan-foid-on-Avon
and from Kenilworth Castle;
marigolds from tho banks of tho Jordan,
asphodel from the Acropolis, a province
rose from Old Agency house at Marlnac,
scene ef Miss Woolson's "Anne." There
are roots from the homes of Burns, Cowper
nnd Anne Hathaway, and aweet alysaum
frowth from seeds which the author gath
er d in the streets of Pompeii.
Kate Douglas Wlggln has a delightful
garden at (Jullleote, her Maine summer
home. Marietta Holley, who as "Josiah
Allen's Wife" created for herself a whim
sical literary spouse who has been much
mora profitable to her financially than
niuny real ones, has a great garden, with
ponds of water Hlks, ut her mountain home
at AUums, N. Y. The "hardy garden"
which Celiu Thaxlcr made on the Isle of
HhoulH Is still a thing of beuuty and an
object of touriBt pilgrimage.
Margaret Deland cultivates a bulb win
dow garden in her New York City home
each winter, und sells the flowering plants
at Eustrr time for charity. Frances Hodg
son liunutt has u wonderful rose garden

The lloiiktrsT Waist.
While fourteen young women of varloue
bIz s and styles of architecture tried on cor
sets for the benefit of tho 400 delegates to
tho convention of tho Dressmakers' Protect
ive association in New York city last weak,
official announcement was made that here
after It will be unnecessary for any woman
to call for assistance In buttoning; her
waist In tho back.
A public benefactor who lives In Hoboken,
N. J . submitted for the approval of the
dressmakers a small metal device, which he
said, would take the place of buttons and
hocks and eyes throughout the civilized
world.
More than a dozen men who did not
know that admission to the dressmakers'
convention UiBt night waa limited to women
spent the evening In the corridor, where
the man from Hoboken explained the beau
ties of his discovery.
According to his optimistic prediction his
device, consisting of a chain running be
tween two lines of sockets with a ring at
trie top. will soon be In general use and will
bring surcease of care to thousands of hus
bands. "One pull on the ring." said the orator
from Hoboken, "and the dress la buttoned
or unbuttoned, hooked or unhooked as the
case may be. Any child can operaU the
device."
"Olve me K worth," said on of his audi
tors, and others also purchased. .
Pehlud closed doors the corset demon
stration occupied the evening session of
the convention. Elizabeth White, president
of the association made a little speech. In
which she said, among other things, that a
corset Is the most Important article of ap
parel In a woman's wardrobe.
"And," said she, "there Is ni woman
whose appearance cannot be Improved by a
cxrrset."
After the corset demonstration flr
models doned Imported gowns and walked
about tho stage that the dressmakers might
see "what they are wearing In Purls."
There was not a sheath skirt In the lot.
"The reaTty new thing," said Miss White,
"Is the Ineroyablei collar. All the really
modish gowns have them."

Founder of Pemfy-Cof fee Stands.
In July, at her home in Brooklyn, died
Mrs. Joaquin M. Lamadrld. who founded
and had maintained penny coffee stands
for the last twenty years and more. At the
time Mrs. Lamadrld began this charitable
enterprise there waa great opposition to
her efforts to feed the destitute. Her coffee
(tanda were as much disapproved by or
ganized charity aa the bread line now ia.
It must be remembered that tho bread line
that assembles every midnight back of the
Vienna bakery, really receives alms, but
Mrs. Lamadrld had her price, which made
It quite a different thing. It was on Janu
ary 15, 1S87, that the first coffee stand was
opened at the corner of Duane street and
Park row. New York. Mrs. Lamadrld an
nounced that she waa ready to furnish
coffee and rolls, pork and beans, puddings,
cereals, beef soup and clam chowder for
1 cent a portion. Even the very poor could
afford to eat at such prices, and her stand
did a great business. She had a central
bureau of supply from which food was dis
tributed, as her business grew, to stands
at Thirty-ninth forry, West Twelfth street
and the North river. Canal and Center
atreets, Jefferson market and Sands and
Fulton streets In Brooklyn. Of late years
the various stands have fed an average of
1,500 persons dally during all the months
of the years except In midsummer. In
"hard times," when there were many In
temporary difficulties, 8,000 a day fed at her
stands. Mrs. Lamadrld was a native of
London and was born In 1841, was one of
Eastern Startha charter members of the
Woman's Press club, and a member of the
order of the Eastern Star. It Is sate to say
that her death will bo regretted, and it Is
doubtful whether the coffee stands will be
as successful as formerly.
Yoansr Wonnn'TTnlgot Occupation.
There Is a quiet young woman in a quiet,
unobtrusive gown who has boeome quite a
familiar figure at funerals In Greater New
York. Bhe la well known to the under
takers at least. She always sits In the
background with notubook and pencil, ar.d
her nimble fingers Jot down verbatim
tho adresses and prayers that are uttered
at the coffin's side.
This young woman. It Is aald, up to a
year ago was a stenographer in a big mer
cantile house downtown. Bhe lost her
place on account of the hard times, and
the coneeiiuenl curtailing of the office
forca. She haunted the employment agen
cies at the various typewriter concerns for
a time, but there were a thousand others
doing the same thing looking for a Job.
Her money was running low and she grew
discouraged. Like many women ahe had
a penchant for going to funerals, but had
not been able to Indulge In this morbid
fancy while regularly employed. She went
to a big church affair one day, and took
along hor notebook and rencll, thinking
she would tako down the addresses Just
for the sake of practice. Aa the people
were filing out, a man asked her what h
had rwen doing, and she fuiterlngly ad
mitted that she had been taking down
what was sold so as to keep from forget
ting her stenography. The man In ques
tion prjved to be a friend of the family of
the deceased, ard said that 1f she would
write out the prayers and addresses, put
ling In the hymns lr their proper place,
that he would pay her well fir the tran
script. She got 1S for this. It then oc
curred to her that here was a way of earn
ing a living, better and more profitabla
than anything else In her line.
pjopted it. and fashionable women have
adopted It with enthusiasm. In public
schools It Is. to be adopted to the needs
of children. Little folks will be glad to
lake fancy steps, play gimes set to music,
nnd do folk dances (which aie now happily
coming Into vogue In schools all over the
country) and foriret the tiresome gymnas
tics that have fallen to their lot in the
past.
Higher Kdnratlon ftr lirrman Women
A great change will no doubt take place
In German life now that the Prussian gov
ernment has decreed that women may have
the advantage of higher education. Tho
woman who haa probably done more to
bring about the change than any one else
Is Frau Helene Lange, and she has been
ably seconded by Prof. Adolf Harnack of
the University of Berlin. Women may now
enter all the technical schools with the
exception of tho art academies, and no
doubt this restriction will soon be removed.
Girls will take a specially arranged course,
beginning at the age of 6 and continuing
for seven years. At the end of that time
studies will be differentiated and those pre
paring for a higher course will take special
studies. After four years' work they will
be eligible for the universities and then
for the first time there will be coeducation.
There has been agitation since the 80s, but
the plan as presented to the emperor by the
minister of education has been considered
for a year.
Leaves from Fashion's Notebook.
Green nnd blue seem to be as popular a
combination as ever.
The bordered materials are Ideal for house
dresses. One can do so much with them.
They need no trimming at all beyond the
bordering which Is a part of the goods.
And they can be put together In ways
that are so simple, but so very effective.
The beat known type of lounging robe
Is the klmona. This Is usually of lawn dim
ity or batiste, broadly banded nil around
with white or colored embrolderv, but It
may bo charmingly developed in dotted
Swiss or all-over embroidered muslin or in
imnese SliK.
Broadcloths In all the colors or tones of
colors that were so much used last winter
are appearing on the counters. Most women
shoppers appear to be In doubt as to
whether they are an Indication of coming
fashions or a leftover from last season's
stock.
Styles are wonderfully mixed these davs.
One sees the princess robe with front penel
embroidered from the neck to the hem
Then there Is the shirt waist suit, or some
thing that Is very much like It, with the
front panel effect brought out In modified
fashion.
This Is to be a floral season apparently.
All kinds of fabrics and ribbons come
printed or embroidered with gay tinted
flowers enormous flowers. The latest Is
a silk patern for a blouse, soft, cream
colored silk, with three large bunches of
roses to the pattern.
It Is quite a simple matter to get a pretty
afternoon dress these davs, for the mater
ials seem especially adapted to house wear
There are all the lovely rose colors which
are the mosct popular of the year, and
there are the doren new violets shading
Into green and gold.' while the blues were
never more numerous.
The Ideal morning gown for anv time of
year Is of so trim and neat a character
that, while easily and qulclv donned It
may quite properly be worn after luncheon.
It Is built In one-piece and frequently or
forty-Inch flouncing which Is quite long
enough for a skirt for the woman of aver
age height. Such a skirt requires but one
seam.
What Women Are Doing;.

of the two valuable restaurant properties
of that name In New York.

Mrs. Georgo Tyler Blgelow of Massachu
setts, widow of a chief Justice of the com
monwealth, was originally a Qulncy girl
and remembers John Adams vividly. With
lier mother she was at the reception given
to Lafayette on August V9. 1:4. Sue was
then 17; now she s over 9".
Mis. Lucindn Hinsdale Stone Is the first
Woman to have her portrait hung In the
Michigan siate capitol. Hi shies being a
pioneer in the woman's club movement in
the west. It is said that to Mis. Stone's
efforts, morn than to nny other one cause,
was due the opening f the University of
Michigan to women students.
More than '-oo women are reported to be
studying medicine at French universities
Paris alone is said to have 100 women prao
tltionrs. most of them holding oCiii'lal
places of more or less importance. Women
physicians aro preferred In girls' high
schools, normal schools und public schools
generally.
A suggestion Is made In one of the New
York papers that a school for mothers be
established In that city, with such h child
psycholoKist as Miss Susan Hlow and such
a specialist of Dr. Jucohl as members of
the faculty. It Is also suggested that the
congress of mothers take up the matter
with the United States Hoard of Educa
tion. Mothers would bo taught physical
facts and courses In psychology and the
kiiulerKai ten would add to the value of the
currimulum..
For the first time In the history of Rus
sia a woman holds the position of unl
vetslty professor. Tills Is Dr. Doutchakova,
a graduate of Zurich and an expert In pa
thology. She successfully defined a thesis
before being admitted to the faculty of the
University of Moscow. The students will
greet her with an ovation at her opening
lecture. Her appointment Is all the moie
extraordinary because Moscow university
admits no women students.
It has Just been announced that the
presbytery of Chicago will establish and
maintain a sdiool for training women as
deaconesses. The first school of this kind
to ho established by tho Presbyterian
church In America was opened ahout a
year ago by the presbytery of Philadel
phia. It does not now appear that the
women who ore trained In these Institutions
are to be regularly ordained, as are the
deaconesses In the Lutheran, the Protestant
Episcopal and the Methodist Episcopal
churches, although tho leaders of the move
ment say there Is no reason whv they
should not bo publicly- set apart for the
work. In the Presbyterian churches of
Scotland deaconesses have been officially
recognized for many years.

Quaint Features of Life
M
Pet Cat's Funeral.
INNIK, the 3-year old daughter
of James Moyer, Iirldgeboro,
N. J., had a funeral for her
pet cat, Tom. In a coffin
which her father made the
body was exhibited In the
backyard. Minnie Induced her little friends
to bring their cats to take a last look at
poor Tom.
While the cats mewed in sorrow the
little folk shed tears. Tom was burled
beneath his little mistress' favorite tree.
The grave was decorated with flowers
which neighbors had contributed.
Efforts to get a preacher were futile.
when the engineer gave It a yank he pulled
from the wound a piece of glass about
three-quarters of an inch in length.
Then he remembered that he was car

down the stairs.
Back tu Life.
Mrs. Catherine Malone of South Nor
wark. Conn., a somnambulist. 63 years
of age, pitched heod first down a flight of
seventeen ateps, fracturing her skull and
apparently bi taking her neck.
She was picked up as dead and pro
nounced so by Dr. R. H. Wolfe. For three
hours she lay thus, while her husband and
children sent for the undertaker and en
tered upon the funeral arrangementa.
Just when the undertaker arrived Mrs.
Malone sat up in bed and yawned. "My
bend aches' this morlng and I guess I will
have some ca:nlp tea," ahe remarked. She
has rallied and will recover.
A Strange Maunder,
For tho last five yeara John F. Arnold,
a farmer of York, Pa., had been aware
that he waa being preyed upon by a sys
tematic chicken thief, but everything from
a man trap to a rat trap was tried without
avail.
The honor of making the capture has
fallen to Mrs. Arnold, wh discovered the
marauder, a blacksnake nine feet and two
Inches in length, and shot It. The reptile
Is the largest of Its kind ever known to
have been actually measured In the county.
Mrs. Arnold came upon the snake In an
unguarded moment, as It lay beside a fence
busily engaged In swallowing a young fowl.
Getting her husband's shotgun, she held It
close and discharged both barrels, with the
desired effect.
The Fnneral Sponge.
"If you attend a Parisian funeral, they
hand you at the door a small, fine sponge,"
relates an undertaker quoted by the Min
neapolis Journal.
"It Is amusing to think of," he said.
"Imagine it by means of these sponges
all of the mourner's tears are collected,
and preserved In tiny vases of crystal.
They are used afterwards as mediclije, for
they are thought to have a wonderful heal
ing power.
"During the service each mourner keeps
his sponge ready, and every tear that wells
Into his eye Is sopped up before it has a
chance to escape. The undertaker tiptoes
politely about, he extends tentatively the
crystal vase, and those who have anything
to add to Its contents squeeze their sponges
solemnly therein.
Then, with a bow of acknowledment, the
unaentakes tiptoes on his way, extending
the vase politely now to the right now to
the left, murmuring In his gentle axd sjoth
ing voice:
" 'Have you shed, sir? Madame, have you
sned?' "

As the result of a deefsion that beats
Solomon by a neck, Justice of the Peace
Waer of Mtllvllle. N. J., has a nice flock
of chickens. Ownership of the fowls was In
dispute between Mrs. Elizabeth Curry and
Mrs. Mary Aahbrldge. The evidence was so
conflicting and vague that the aquire de
cided to divide the flock. That was finally
agreed to by the disputants, but a new
complication arose.
"How about my fees?" asked the squire.
"My. must you be paid?" asked the
Women.
"Assuredly," replied the squire. There
was a moment's conference and the women
finally decided that he should take the
chickens. That suited the squire and the
women ar wondering where they got off.
