Women have sphere far higher than
politics. Their empire is the home. The
home is the unit of republican government,
and it is for the sake of home that govern
ments exist. To keep that safe, secure and
free, men toll, and watch and fight, if need
be. The home influence Of women acts IN
noble, though indirect, way upon gov
ernments, institutions and laws, upon edu-
cation, manners and social life. This in =
direct influence is fur more potent than any
direct influence, and woman abdicates
her throne when she Sights the
home to cultivate diplomacy or politics, the
lobby or the court.-BaltimOre Commercial
He was country young fellow, little
awkward and bashful, but of sterling worth
Of character. She was Cincinnati belle
and had sense enough to appreciate is
worth, despite his awkwardness and
hashfulness, and was his iancee. On a
gloomy Sunday evening last winter they
were standing in front of the willow in
the parlor of her home on East Walnut
Hills Watching the snowfakes rapidly fall
ing outside. He was not up in society
small talk, and being hard up for some
thing to say, remarked as he watched the
snow falling: This will be hard on the
old mans calves ard sheep" Never
mind, DEAR" said she, slipping her arm
around him. Il will take care of one Of

Amongsthe latest devices of the tickle
ruler, Fashion, is that of long kid gloves of
flaming red color for ladies. The gener.
al effect of this style on lovely female
as she enters reception or ball is over
powering. Her hands present most SAN
culinary and, indeed, murderous appearance,
and every movement of these members
leads one to believe that the impulses of
the owner are bloody, starved and raven
GUS. You might imagine yourself at
bull fight, and that this was the red flag
waved for the purpose Of urging on the in
furiated animal. Another pleasing feature
Of this article is that it makes the hand of
the wearer look to be about twice its orig
inal size, SO that the effect on female
who wears number eight glove can be
imagined. Women who are silly enough TO
adopt these mons;rosities in attire had bet
ter join some congenial tribe of redskins
at once, and so complete the Indian pic
ture; some "Flathead" tribe, for instance,
would be quite appropriate.
Two handsome dresses ready for trans
mission to Washington from New York give
an idea of the beauty and elegance Of the
reception robes worn this season. The first,
dress Of white brocaded satin, has long
trained skirt, trimmed around the bottom
with an exceedingly full fringed out ruch-
ing, under which shows dainty balayeuss
Of white lace. The skirt is trimmed across
the front with q wide scarf Of Venetian lace
which is carried to the back and held by a
large cluster Of white acacia. The bodice
is low and peaked, and is laced behind.
The second Is robe Of laurel pink satin,
shading to pale gold, combined with deep,
wine colored velvet The Camargo bodic,
and panier tunic are of the velvet, the lat

which reach from the belt to the foot of
the petticoat. A plastron of satin, likewise
adorned. is carried up the front of the bod
ice, and q dropping spray of pink and red
plush roses is fastened on the left side of
the heart shaped opening in the neck.
