The Mission of Eduoated Women.

Generous recognition Is at once given of
the beauty of the possible home and of the
power and Importance Of the woman who
is emphaticaIly eenied There are now open
TO her many channels through which she can
influence the race, and the question is raised
as to whether the advantage in this respect
is altogether on the side of the married wo-
man. Two or three of the older women in
the group, who have had long and varied ex-
perience as teachers, ask if it is not probable
that among the many children who have
come into their hands there are not some, at
least, who owe more to their school environ
ment than to the home life. They claim that
they, as teachers, should be credited with the
influence which, in the nature of things, is
inseparable from the responsibility which is
put upon them.
ITO US" they say, land not to the already
overburdened wife and mother, is given the
power to lead and direct the youth of the
race. Would you have US, with that in view,
aim for anything less than the best9 The
education of English and American children
is III the main, in the hands of women, and
this not because of an anomalous social con-
dition, but because of their peculiar fitness for
the work On Mr.. Aliens own showing, these
women should remain unmarried and, if this
involves sacrifice on their part, it is left for
him to show us that such sacrifice is ignobe,
or in any sense threatening to the public wei
fare. Mrs ii. +. Armstrong in Popular Sci

How to Cure Wrinkles.

The first place, it seems, in which face
"spolls" is under the eyes, Hollows form
here, and the skin becoming loose through
expression of the muscles, falls into wrinkles
or crows feet" ITO prevent this" says a
modern authority, lit Is necessary TO keep
the cuticle as elastic and in as restraint a con-
dition as possible" And this is how it is done:
You must first draw the mouth hard into
the semblance of a smile. Do this before the
glass, and next place the index and third and
fourth fingers of each hand on the small
mounds formed at the top OF the cheeks, and
press lightly downward with the tips. Then
relax the face at once; again draw up into a
smile, then relax; do this with increasing
rapidity over and over until the muscles are
tired, always maintaining the downward
pressure with the finger tips but not SO hard
but that the contraction of the muscles in the
smile will raise them each time London

An effect OF delicacy and ightness is now

be of old ivory color, picked out with gold, if
desired, or with soft yellowish brown, which
perhaps carries out better than gold the effect

The Girl of the Home.

A young and beautiful girl, with a fair in
come and full length mirror, can discount
all the artists that ever welded brush, though
she may never have read an art treatise, ~
and knows no more of scientific contrasts
and harmonies and classic folds and draper
les than the bird swinging IN the apple boughs
which cast their Pickering shadows over the
white mating of her dainty bedroom-a
room, by the way, that is neither boudoir nor
den, nor anything but a sweet, clean, pure
home room Of sweet, pure girl-where the
spring air blows gently through the white
curtained windows, bringing in the fragrance
Of the apple blossoms and scattering their
petals over the floor. With the same instinct
that the bird builds its pest, the girl makes
her pretty pictures day by day, completing
them with a blossom from the tree or cluS-
ter from the garden bed, rejoicing in her
own beauty and never doubling that the
heart of the world is as young and light as
her own; perhaps laying away at night some
ribbon or flower with a tenderer touch be-
cause of the evenings association. Let us
give thanks that there are thousands of such
girls left in our country yet, girls who be-
long TO the fields and the orchards and the
gardens of home, and not to society's hot
houses.-New ork Times.

An Actress Opinion of American Women.
1t is interesting to hear what Mrs. Kendall
thinks about American women and their pos
sibilities Chatting away, she said: The
American woman is a continual surprise to
me- A card would be brought TO me, prop
erly engraved, and bearing the name, say
Mrs. Smith was out, and the next day
would get a note from Mrs. Smith, charm
ingly written, regretting my absence and
asking when she would find me at home.
would write and tel her, and then there
would appear a lady, well dressed, well
educated, who had seen almost everything
there was 70 see, and talked about Ibsen and
the latest fads While she was with me
another caller would come In, and, after Mrs
Smith went away, the second one would in
form me that twenty years ago Mrs. Smith
was standing behind q counter, selling pea
nuts on a corner, or helping her mother in a
laundry.
Il would go to luncheon at Mrs Smiths
house; the service was perfect, the rooms ex-
quisitely furnished, the hostess herself charm
ing. Now, this could only happen in Amer
lea, and why9 Take an English woman in
the same standing, get her governess to teach
her French, get her a music master, some one
TO teach her to hold her knife and fork cor
rectly, TO receive her guests properly, and
she simply never could learn. There is some
thing in the American brain, especially in the
feminine brain, that seems to grasp the right
idea with a quickness that is wonderful,
which I, as an English woman, intensely ad-
mire. There are no women in the world like
them. Like American Why, of course I do"

Economy in Dress.

Economy in the matter of dress lies more
in taking care of what clothes you have than
in having fewer or IN spending less on them.
In order to practice this economy have in
Your room q clothes brush, whisk broom
and a small camels hair brush; also have
handy a bottle OF ammonia, one of benzine
and small sponge for applying either of
them. Then never hang q dress away with a
spot on it. If the missing buttons cannot be
at once sewed on or the rips IN the gloves and
dresses mended, it should be done at the first
spare moment, that everything may be ready
10 put on if obliged to dress in a hurry.
Wherever the most sewing is doEe it is good
plan to have a bag with several compart-
ments. one for shoe buttons, coarse thread
and needles, another for Garnlng cottons OF
all coiorS and degrees of fineneSs, a third for
buttons Of every description, one for the best
pieces Of old kid gloves ana another tor the

tain pieces of each OF your dresses. The kid

Mrs. Stones Womanliness,

Not many years ago Lucy Stone, well be
loved of women, went into Vermont to con-
duct woman suffrage campaign. OF course,
although her name was well known, there
were many people who had never seen her,
and it was very amusing to see the surprise
produced ON the faces as the gentle, motherly
sweet faced, silver voiced woman stepped on
the platform and began to address them in
the kindly manner so well known to all her
followers.
rs that Lucy Stoner' asked one woman
made more bold by her surprise than the rest
of the people why, thought she was a
big woman with loud voice and wore panta-
looms.
No wonder she was surprised. Although
Mrs Stone was one of the earliest of the wo-
men speakers, and has been longer on the
platform than almost any one now living, she
is essentially a feminine woman.-Boston

have kept her youth. She is in no sense a

She is a creature of infinite tact, whom
