AMERICAN GIRLS UNDERCLoTHEs.
A foreign correspondent writes There |
was an article in a London paper the other
day concerning American extravagance in |
dress, which called attention particularly |
TO the underwear of American girls. Some |
countess, who had travelled with several OF |
our countrywomen on the continent, ex- |
pressed great astonishment at the fineness |
and costliness of their underclothes. Hers |
was thrown entirely in the shade by those |
of her republican friends She doubted if
the cambrics, linen and laces Of the |
Princess Royal exceeded in value those of
the girls she saw. She also spoke of their
outside laces and silks, the little apparent
value that was set on them. 1t Is true,
then, in general, the American girl is
dainty in the choice of her inner garments
This kind of clothing, of the most expen-
sive make, is seen in the shops here en-

The Bostonians are greatly interested in
this enterprise. Tne Traveller says of it:

msnt for teaching women to be florists
gardeners, horticulturists and farmers
generally, are so far completed that a
school will probably be opened this month

of land, all well enclosed, have been Sc
cured at Newton Centre, on Beacon street;
a practical cultivator has been engaged to
give the necessary practical teaching;
while several competent lecturers have
volunteered to give instructions in botany,
vegetable physiology, and other subjects of
interest and importance to the horticul-
turist and florist. A sufficient sum of
money has been secured to start with

make the undertaking permanent thing;
and very considerable number-twenty

BUSINESS WOMAN.
The Toledo Blade gives the following ac-
count of a woman who can take good care
of herself, ballot or no ballot:
We know a lady whom we think is enti-
tied to the ballot. Several years since the
| husband of Mrs. Josephine Simpson went
to California in search OF fortune, and
since his departure Mrs. s. has heard moth
ing from him. She, however, did not sit
down and bewail the fate that left her a
widow; she commenced business and sue
eeeded to an extent gratifying 10 herself
and friends, and the manner in which she
transacts business will be of interest, and
we hope a source of profit to the strong
minded ones of her sex. Mrs. Simpson Is
the owner Of a canal boat, which she man
ages in person. Last iall she contracted
with lumber firm in this city to deliver
quantity of black walnut lumber on their
uOck inc tnsuinS spring. hitci i4"nh5
the contract she went up the canal, pur-
chased the trees in the woods, hired men
to cut the logs, and then hired the logs
sawed at mill. Yesterday she delivered
the cargo of lumber she had contracted
| and received pay for the same. The firm
taking this lumber state that Mrs. Simp-
son differs materially from most boatmen,
in that shesnever asks for money until her
contracts are fulfilled to the letter, and
then she does not allow prolongation OF
Standardization her work is performed
she demands the pay, and in this manner
her accounts are kept in healthy condi-
ton, and in business she prospers. She
has accumulated sl5, 900 to $4,000. That
lady is entitled to the ballot
