Our Own EYarts' New Hat.

Philadelphia Rec nrd.
am glad to announce that Senator
William Evarts has new silk hat.
Everybody remembers the shocking bad
hat which he wore when he was Secre-
tary of State. 1t could not very well be
forgotten, for he has worn it almost ever
since. But at last, through the favor of
an admirer. or out of wager on the
election of David b. Hill, or in other ac-
cidental way, he has acquired a new and
shiny hat. He is as careful of it as he
was careless of the old one. He only
wears it on bright days, and then never
trusts it out of sight. He will not let it
be hung up in the senate cloak room,
nor even in his own committee room,
but he takes it into his seat on the floor
of the senate. Not that he puts that
precious hat on the floor of the senate.
Oh. no! He puts his gold trimmed eye
glasses on, and, lovingly caressing it,
places the hat on his own desk or in the
vacant chair of an absent neighbor.

Mr.. Cleveland Puts his Foot Down

Chiaago News.
The President in conversation with a
Republican Senator, said to-day: Il am
lead to believe that the majority of your
body intend to insist that l shall give my
reason for suspending an officeholder at
the time | nominate his successor. /
must inform you that L shall do nothing
of the kind. Nominations are made
by and with the consent of the senate.
1t is fitting in such cases that the senate
should have all the information they de-
sire regarding the man whose nomina-
ton they are asked to confirm, but when
they insist upon my reasons for making
removals, they are usurping a privilege
that belongs TO the Executive alone, and
their request will in every case be denied.
That is the position propose to take,

which he was not at all responsible. He

industries by the Centennial exhibition
made itself felt in art clubs and associa-
tons throughout our country. In accord
with this impulse to fresh activity came
the suggestion Of Mrs. Henry Peters
Gray, then president ofthe Ladies Art
Association of New York, to enlarge
the scope of that society and form classes
IN various sorts OF artistic decoration,
and open salesroom for any good dec
orative work done by women.
This idea, taken up with enthusiasm
by Mrs. Candace Wheeler, vice-presi-
dent of the society, and others associat-
ed with her, resulted in an entirely in
dependent organization known as The
Society of Decorative Art of the city of
New York.
The objects of this association as stat
ed in the constitution we're, the recep-
ton, exhibition, and sale of artistic and
and decorative art and instruction in
artistic and decorative work and indus
tries. .
With the same BENEVOLENT intent, and
realizing that but few of the needy
women ofNeW York have the artistic
hand and eye that could make them well
come contributors to the Decorative Art
Society, Mrs. William G.. Choate first
devised the plan of the New York Ex-
change for WomanS work, where any
needy Woman's handiwork could be
offered for sale, provided she came
vouched for by some responsible subscri-
Der.
1t was in April, 1878, that the Wo-
mans Exchange thus sprang into being,
not out Of any ill-will nor as a rival to
the Society of Decorative Art, but as a
natural outgrowth from it, a younger but
vigorous and flouriShing ofShoot.
Mrs. Choate, who may be called the
mother of woman's exchanges, has pre-
sided over the society from the first, and
has devoted many hours each week to
the working out of its details.
There was feeling among many
when woman's exchanges were first eS-
tabliShed that their benefits should be
chiefly confined to the class known in
England as decayed gentlewomen.
Many women ofreduced fortunes, whom
false pride forbade to be known publicly
as workers, were glad to hide themselves
behind the friendly shelter of a contribu-
tors number. Fortunately this feeling
seems to be on the wane. Word comes
from Baltimore-'Many of the better
Southern ladies' journal. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1886-18??, 1886-06-05


anything else to keep up this shame of
work, is the short-sighted restriction put
upon 50 many of the exchanges to re-
celve work from the avowedly needy
alone. Many choice and beautiful arti-
eles made by women of taste and cult
Iure are thus shut out, as the makers feel
Inundated by the question, DO you
really need this money! or BY the re-
qulrement, as in Chicago, that some
member Of the society shall vouch for
the consignor's poverty. In Boston,
Cincinnati and Newark, and, it is to be
presumed in the societies fashioned after
the Boston plan, no such humiliating
conditions are enforced Mrs. Abby M.
Dlaz, president Of the Boston Union
puts this matter strongl y. She says:
will you receive for sale the work of
the Well-to-do or only of those who are
IN Want2 Of both. There is no princi-
pie by which to draw a dividing line.
Some may want food and clothes, others
the means OF education or of beneyo-
lence. The rich may devote her earn
lngs to philanthrophy; the poor woman
may spend hers in various unworthy
ways. The seemingly rich may be poor
and shrink from acknowledging it. The
probably better work of the richer wo-
man will help educate the poorer woman,
and will attract purchasers. Market
criticism will stimulate both to their best
efforts, andby thus ensuring progression
benefit both, and be service to the
public. Also for the well-to-do to place
their work on sale helps to make labor
honorable and to remove dividing lines
In the realm of work, as in the King
dom of Heaven, questions of sex or
wealth or station are not pertinent, and
in the reception of work at an exchange
the only allowable test-question should
be, Is it good or bad?' 1t is the fault
of these cold, merchantable days that
lis it salable?' is the avowed test-qaes-
ton of the average woman's exchange"
In conclusion, let me say that SO earn
est is woman's work, so faithful, that |
am proud to be a woman. Many have
said, 81 wish were a man." But will
affirm that | am not only glad to be
woman, but am also proud that belong
to that class at once energetic and pa
tent, resolute and perseverlng, while
also capable of great self-sacrifce with
great and noble fortitude.
