Blondes should avoid the lighter shades Of

A Woman sportine Reporter.

In the reporters stand, says New York
letter, ] saw for the first time q woman re-
porting a horse race, and | was interested in
reading next day what she put TO paper. 1t
was good work, and it suggested anew how
much women are now doing that only short
time ago was done by men alone. This young
woman had an article Of five columns length
in conspicuous New York newspaper on
Sunday with reference to the horses that ran
in the Suburban and the jockeys that rode
them. The Same newspaper devoted nearly
half its space that day TO special articles
written by women. When a woman has the
gift Of writing combined with the gift Of
newspaper sense, and by that | mean the
Judgment that tells her what TO write and
what TO omit, she is quite as valuable TO big
newspaper as man, for she brings 10 the
newspaper q freshness of observation and an
originality that are refreshing. She can obtain
a certain line of Information. too, that man
secures with great difficulty. All the big
newspapers now employ several women, be
cause their work is of real value but sending
a woman TO a horse race is absolutely new

Evening Dress Forty Years Ago.

Few ladies who follow the fashions" or
who consult the hundred and one fashion
periodicals poured out from the press every
month and every week, have any idea of the
extreme simplicity of the patterns Of female
attire which were in vogue fifty and even
forty years ago. 1t is sufficient to say that
the bodice and the skirt Of the dress were
generally in one piece; that the gown fast
ened by hooks and eyes behind; that the
skirts were never ''draped," and that their
sole ornamentauiou was nothing but fiounces
The only practical way in which e lady
could show that she was in full dress was to
show low necked dress and to bare her
arms Moreover, bodices We're, when made
low, universally cut horizontally instead Of
on bias, and the female novelists of the last
generation found unfailing material of fun
in depicting the torments Of growing girls at
evening parties in their endeavors to prevent
their low necked frocks from slipping off
their shoulders When lady went to court
she glorifed herself with train, tall spa
nache" Of plumes and as many diamonds as
fortune had favored her with; otherwise the
cut of her gown did not materially differ
from that of the school girls low necked mus
lin frock-London Standard.

George Parsons Lathrop and his wife have

a bathhouSe which they rent for their eKclu-

miles out There they come out and picnic,

mics usually, that they have a roof and easy
chairs, books and writing materials when
they want them. MIS-. Lathrop born Rose
Hawthorne bears no suggestion in her looks

The Woman Who Knows How to Shop.

The Woman Who Knows How to Shop.
What blessing TO her family and the com
munity at large is the clear headed, sensible
woman, who knows just what she wants and
buys accordingly, fights shy Of the bargain
counter and auction room; does not consider
anything cheap that she does not need, and
scorns to struggle with hurly burly mob of
people for the sake OF occurring an article for
two cents less than the regular price. To
shop with discrption aud follow the beacon
light of economy is to avoid the shoals and
sandbars Of extravaganza. Those who do not
need to count the cost of what they buy are
In the minority, and hence this matter Of
shopping should be SO cultivated that it will
become an art. Indeed, it should be recog-
nized as part of girls education to shop
wisely and well. Even the most careful Of
mothers give this all important matter but
little thought. Music, art and the languages
are added TO q substantial English education,
with perhaps a few lessons in cookery
thrown in, but where is the teacher or parent
TO be found who thinks it necessary to so
train girl in the art of shopping that she
will be brought TO consider thrifty manage
lnent not a bore, but a most womanly &C
complishnent that once acquired will bring
with it delightful feeling of self reliancea-

Women in Australia.

An excellent little Australian paper enti-
tied Dawn firmly advocates equality of the
sexes, and publishes number of sensible
pertinent articles striking at the very heart
of the many perplexing questions that arise
in regard to womans past and present posi-
ton. The statistics sent from the Office Of
Dawn to The Woman's Journal prove that
Australia takes no uncertain stand in refer
ence to co-education. The facts compiled
about women and the Australian universe
ties prove that equal justice to the sexes is
the reigning principle In the constitutions of
the Australian universities, the only excep-
ton being the exclusion of women from the
Melbourne senate. Review of all the ques-
lions shows that Australian experience favors
the belief in the mental equality Of the
sexes"
