What Women Can Do.
Woman: Twenty years ago, two
maiden ladies, daughters of an English
Clergyman, were LETT orphans and poor.
One was forty, the other little Older.
They were ladies, with the training Of
ladies Of their time-which after all,
was not SO unlike ours. They could
play on the piano and paint on. plush;
toned TO- teach. They could, perhaps,
have found shelter in q home for do
cayed gentlewomen, or been burden
on their friends. But they did some
thing better. With the very little
money they had they. left their village
home and settled themselves on the out
skirts of London. 1t was but a few hun
dred dollars, but it sufficed for their
project and their support till that
project was q. success. !. They
set up q. laundry. They had women for
the rough work, but the clear. starching
and the fine ironing went through their
own delicate hands through the first
years. They kept the accounts, col!
lected the bills-in brief, furnished the
brains needed for q business enterprise.
AT the end of ten years they had neat
home, a large business and q certainty
of provision for old age. > -.
Another woman, atter'y years OF teach
ing, found herself utterly broken down
Us to nerves, with the prospect of invhl-
life. She had saved a little money, and
as soon as her health rallied little she
began to study medicine. She. risked
her last penny on it, her friends ercour-
aging her by the assurance that if she
failed in her "fool's venture" she might
go to the poor house for all their help.
But she came of O race of doctors and
thew did not fail. Despite age and deli:
cate health she built up large prac-
tice and made for herself competenee
Mental strength and discipline counted
for much here. 1t is not like the other
an example every one might follow.
A AsTaiior-NIade'' Woman.
New Orleans Picayune: A "tailor
made" woman is by no means the arti'
fetal creature the term would imply
Far from 1T. There is perhaps les:
room in the premises for artificial o0n.
ditions than In other methods of COS
tuning the softer sex. The expression
is used to classify masculine style b
female dress which. has within q year OF
twy past grown into a certain vogue
The tailor-made gown is simply cut and
fitted in much the same style as that O
the upper and outer garment Of nlaseu
line wear. It is ordinarily made o
much the same sort of material as il
used for mems coats, and is extremely
plain and devoid of ornament, either il
the way OF external attachments OF
color. The tailor-made garment fol
women is the outgrowth OF an attemp
to initiate the masculine costume in
ness, without, however, even the re-
motest suggestion OF anything unre-
fined or unwomaniy, and it comes ur
for remark only in respect to me RI
questions of taste.
The beauty of a woman is like that o
a flower, Of q nature so delicate and de-
pending on conditions SO varied that il
is deprived Of much of Its charm to en-
velope it severely in dull, neutral tint
unrelieved by colors or draping. The
beauty OF almost any flower is enhanced
by combination with others in q bou
quet. Indeed, a single blossom on {
long stem devoid of foliage is ungainl,
and ungraceful to degree which no
even the rose or the camellia, most per
feot OF flowers, can endure without hav
ing its beauty marred. In the same way
women, however beautiful, lose an in
finite charm when they wrap themselve;
severely in tight fitting garbs of dul
coiors. So dressed they are not ever
statuesQue, because statute must b,
white or OF an extremely fair hue to Sc
shade, which are wholly lost in darl
colors. Even bronze is wholly unsuitet
for proper effects in statuary unless .ee.
posed under the open sky to the full blak,
OF the sunlight. AS long as femal,
beauty is source of such supreme de
light to the other sex women owe IL rs
duty to preserve and present thei
charms in the highest state OF perfec
'tion, and no fashion which mars o.
| masks them should be cOuntenanced, -
1t seems to be an English fad to- Civ,
| women in dress and manners sort o
roughness and masculinity. No woman
can become an athlete without alterin,
her form, and 1t cannot be beautiful {
develop upon the rounded relieve an
delicate corners of her limbs the knot
and cords Of muscle which belong +
men. Hercules in petticoats" Is
most revolving suggestion, There 1
another circumstance, however, in tn
effort to mascullnize women. This Il
that when the fair sex invaaes the DC
main nof manners and morals which
supposed to belong TO the stronger it
because the men are degenerating int
effeminacy. There is no effect withou
a cause, and the degeneracy OF manner
- the result Of serious decay In morals
1t Is not likely that under our free IL
stitutions society can ever reach tn
condition Of moral decomposition g
severely scourged in the celebrate
satires OF fierce old Juvenal, but any d.
cadence is to be earnestly deprecated
A New Industry for Women.
