Miss Susan B. Anthony tells . Chi
caso Tribune reporter that the woman's
suffrage cause 10 constantly getting
slicss Of tho loaf. and will eventually
have all Of IL. Az TO- the present situa-
ton she says : "whils the public agita.
ton or excitement In the movement
seems to Be less than 1t was. the general
public sentiment Is growing very rapidly
In its favor. We have not gained suf.
fr.ss per 20 anywhere, but we have
gained a great many little points Of con.
siderable importance. The fact that
six Legislatures have granted the school
suffrage TO women shows the advance OF
public sentiment. and the many women's
benevolent organizations are the results
OF the education accomplished by the
women suffragists. The women have
been taught to believe that woman must
do something for the elevation Of
humanity, and not to be afraid to do IL.
You may add to all this. too. the open.
ing Of all colleges. trades and profes.
sious to women - additional results Of

placed over her pulseless heart. To the
old ladies who delight in this work, it is
doubtless a solace in many a lonely hour,
and it would be almost a deed of cruelty
to pronounce the labor of their hands
useless. And to the little ones, who ought
to learn to ply the polished shaft, it IS
mixing pleasure with profit. If an act
i've, mature person has nothing else to
employ idle hands and hours, IT may do
to cut up calico into scraps, just for the
sake of keeping out of mischief; but
there are so many more profitable ways
of employing ones time and energy. that
it seems a waste of both to spend them
upon patchwork. An aged lady of my
acquaintance has, within the past year,
pieced together for quilts, over thirty
thousand pieces of cloth, and showed
great taste and ingenuity in their con-
struetion; and it is really deed of kind
ness to employ her to make patchwork,
as it helps support her, and enables her to
purchase many comforts with which to
brighten her pathway to the grave

PATCHWORK.

As this old fashioned work is again
becoming fashionable, few remarks about
It's appropriateness and utility may not be
amisS. There are some people who have
a perfect passion for this work; there is
for them a peculiar fascination in arrang-
ing and placing the various bits Of color.
No other kind of needlework is as suita-
Die for teaching a little girl the use Of the
needle. It is pleasant TO see the effect Of
the combinations and contrasts, and the
little fingers can work more nimbly, in
the short over and over seams, than they
would in the long seams Of either pillow
cases or sheets. 1t Is, beside, nice way
to make disposition of the accumulation
of remnants in the scrap-bag. Old ladies
too, ike TO piece bed-quilts, and grand
mothers quilts" are precious heir-loOms
in many families. 1t is a matter Of pride
with these venerable ladies to be able to
do something that IS useful and pretty
and, no doubt, many memories of the by
gone wears are stitched into the seams,
and perhaps some sad "reminiscences are
called forth by the sight of long-forgot-
ten remnant Of garment, worn In the
long ago by one whose busy hands are
