Bronze boots are no longer fash.
ionablc and buttoned boots are old
style, laced boots having taken their
place. Some are stitched and elab-
orately embroidered with white, but

moro stylish.
Jet necklaces, composed of several
rows Of large beads, caught at the
sides with large square medallions,
with raised head, and pendant the

summer dresses.
In one Of the election districts of

Three years ago the women of
Greenville, Ill.,, entered the half doz-
en- drinking saloons OF the place, and
smashed everything to pieces. Since
that hour nobody has appeared with
nerve enough to start a rum shop
there. The men thought to punish
the women by refusing to cut down
the weeds in the streets that were so
annoying to them that walking was
task, but the women turned out
and did the work, and SO triumphed.
A speaker at a recent woman's
suffrage meeting in San Francisco
said
Two girls from high school went
into the country for vacation. An
opportunity was afforded for them
to learn something during the Holt
days-the one as an assistant in a
family, the other to help farmer
through harvesting. it being difficult
TO hire men. At the end of the va
cation they compared results. The
housemaid had worked sixteen hours
per day, and was paid two dollars
per week. The one in the field, who
had taken the place of man, had
worked ten hours per day, at two
dollars and a!half per day. Mark the
difference between mans work and
mans pay, and woman's work and
woman's pay.
Putadm'S Magazine for Juno has

DO our young women know what
it is that strikes one who has been
away from the country for time
the most unpleasantly on his return
1t is not their faces, assuredly,
which for regularity Of outline, and
dclicacy and freshness Of tint, are un-
surpassed, indeed are unequalled, by
anything one sees abroad, save by
the finest pictures. Nor is it their
forms, which are 1.-THE, supple and
graceful, with spring in tho step
and freedom of carriage that are al-
ways q delight TO the eyes. Nor can
it be said TO be their dress for,
though they dress too much
in colors, too positive and decided,
and are in this respect far behind the
French women, they are yet in adj
vance of all others, English, German,
or Italian. But it is the voice and
the management of the voice. After
looking at our American girls it is
almost always disappointment to
hear them speak. What they say is,
perhaps well enough, but the tone
and mode in which they say it is
not we'll enough. Their voices are
commonly too thin and shIill, and
when they are not, are pitched in
too high a key. Sometimes they
come through the nose good deal
more than is desirable. They have
a metallic ring, or at least q reedy
quality, like the Dor humana of 'the
organs, and not that soft, low, and
gentle quality which Shakespeare
proclaimed so excellent in woman"
Climate hos no doubt good
deal to do with this fault, for the
fault is most perceptible at the North
and East, and less percepable At the
South but carelessness has quite as
much to do with it. Our mothers
and teachers, we suspect, do not take
much pains to train their children
and pupils into good habits of enun-
citation. They are carefully taught
to sing, but they are not carefully
taught to read and to speak. Yet
more than half the charm of all So
cial intercourse depends upon the
agreeable or disagreeable use of the
voice, How repulsive, when one has
