THE pARN,Ne NEEDLE

THE DARNlN6 NEEDLE
Once In Every WOman'S Hands, IL IL Now
Used by Old Ladies' Only.
TThe darning needle may almost
be called a thing of the past now,"
sighed an Old lazy, as she sat before a
genuine log fire in the parlor of very
old-fashioned house in Yonkers, look
Ing Tor holes that she was not particu-
iarly anxious to find in a great pile of
stockings that filled a basket beside
her. Beyond myself and half u
dozen others who meet twice week
and call ourselves The Old Ladies'
Darniug Society," don't know of any
one In Westchester County who uses
the needle, or even knows how to use
it Darned stockings are looked upon
as relics of barbarism to-day. 1 be-
lieve. and people object to what they
call patches, which, they say, hurt
their feet. Are the feet, then, more
tender than they were sixty years ago
when 1 was girl, and knowledge of
darning was an important part of a
young lady's educationp / don't think
30. But suppose the clumsy way in
which a hole in a stocking is mendcd
now CASUALLY with a plain sewing
needle and hard cotton thread), has
justly earned for it the name of patch
work. Perhaps the jagged hole and
direct contact between the foot and
the shoe is preferable.
'But this awkward mending mustnot
be confused with darning. The wool
used in the old-fashioned repairing is
generally much softer than the ma
terial Of which tho average stocking is
made AS you see, still darn the
holes in all the family stockings, and
my husband and boys say that the
spots where my needle has been work
Ing are the only really comfortable
parts of their hosiery. Idon't know
whether this is a very. desirable state
of affairs. but at least It shows that
skillful darning and careless patching
are different things.
''ha days Of old. when no lady con-
sidered darning an undignified occupa-
ton, stockings were manufactured of
very much softer and finer material
than they are made Of now, and the
wool with which a hole was darned
was. as nearly as possible, of the same
consistency. so that the wearer, no
matter how sensitive his feet might
be, could not detect the presence of q
foreign body at his heel or under his
sole. A go03 old wool stocking is far
more comfortable than new one, and
elderly gentlemen-my father, for ex-
ample-believed that hosiery was
never quite beyond the reach of the
darning needle. have darned a
stocking so often that not q shred of
the old material remained. The whole
piece was my own make, and COM
posed entirely of darning wool.
eat that time, too, new stockings
were very expensive, and that might
have been an additional reason why
people chung SO persistently to their
old ones, but now stockings, though of
a very inferior grade. are so cheap
that 1t is considered hardly worth
while to wash an old pair, and when
ask for darning needle at millinery
store am frequently told: we don't
keep them. '"--<N. Y. Sun.

The Bostonian Society.

The woman question walks in at
every open door, and asks for equal
rights for women. The last place at
which it has appeared, at a late meet
ing, says the Woman's journal, is in
the Bostonian Society of Boston, which
had lively discussion on the merits of
the proposal to admit women, and on
the question whether it was best to de-
bate the subject at all. The matter
was relegated to the next meeting.
There had been Il report made against
the admission of women. But it was
urged that the Bostonian Society oc-
cupies, free of charge rooms in the
Old State House, belonging to the city,
and that it is sheer injustice to shut the
doors against one-half of the people OF
the CITY," The Advertiser wisely adj
vises "such a change in tho constitution
of this exceedingly useful society as
will do away with all distinctions in re-
gard to sex," and adds:
"a still more important consideration is that
the prosperity and usefulness OF this organizl-
tien depend upon the zeal with which it is sus-
tanned by Bostonians, among whom are none
more enthusiast AMI devoted TO the study of
the citys antiquities and to the maintenance of
public interest in them than are many of the
educated, influential women in our midst"

Mr.. Gladstone usually has three
books in reading at the same time,
and changes from one to the other,
when his mind has reached the limit
of absorption. This is necessary
corrective to the tendency to think
only of one thing at one time. Mr..
Gladstone complains sometimes that
his memory is no longer quite as good
as it used to be, but although that may
be true, it is still twice as good as any
body else's, for Mr.. Gladstone has an
extraordinary faculty of not only re-
Numbering those things he ought to
remember, but for forgetting those
things it is useless for him to remem-
Der. His mind is thus unincumbered
with any unnecessary top-hamper, and
he can always, SO to speak, lay his
hand upon any thing the moment he
wants it. The Critic.

The Rights of Wives.

While care is taken to protect the
husbands lifelong use of the real es-
tate of his wife, says a writer in Wom-
ans Journal, we can not forget that
the wife has only the use of one-third
of the husbands real estate after he is
dead. If he outlives her, she does not
get it at all, and she can not will it, as
her right in it ceases with her life.
Here is case: A woman before her
marriage owned house and land, She
died, leaving one daughter The hus-
band married, and had three other
children. The daughter of the first
wife, now married and with children
of her own, greatly needs the property
of her mother But the law gives the
use of it all to the husband, and no
spends it all on the children of his sec
ond wife. Is it not time further to pro-
tect and extend the rights of wivesP
