WASHINGTON Society Women

Of course good deal of money Is being
made in Washington out Of suburban
property. and we have . lot OF women here
who make loads of money out of real es-
tate. Ers. Patten, wife of the California
millionaire, added materially TO her fort
une in this way before she died, and there are
a number Of other society ladies who spec
ulate in houses and lots. Not a few OF the
fortunes CT Washington are founded on
real estate, and large part Of that left by
Corooran comes from the rise OF Washing
ton property.
One of the most aristoCratic families in
the northwest section dates its ouEin hack
10 loJ which the grandfather of the high
toned young ladies Of today owned. This
grandfather was a butcher. and he had a
very pretty daughter whom the cook Of
sir Charles Vaughn. the British minister
70 the United States 3 decaae or so ago,
saw and fell IL love with When Vaughn
Went back 10 England the cook remained
and married The daughter Of The butcher
The butcher died, ie2vax his lot. which
was sold at so enormous 3RJire. and which
formed the foundation Of the present fanl-
ily'S fortune
Not long ago the butcher daughter took
it upon herself TO eriticise.1he admission Of
the daughters OF a poor but blue 6looded
naval officer into WaSaInzron soclety. In
speaking TO one OF the most refined ladies
OF " ashIngt9a about il she said. w hat

ought 10 admit these people 70 our circle.

Abolish the Sewing Fetich.

A fine state Of affairs it would be if every
man when he wanted a mutton chop went
out and killed and dressed his own sheep,
and every man when he wanted a pair of
boots made them. The world is too busy
nowadays for the individual to stand by
himself and supply his own needs. For
the housewife to spare her husbands in
come by patient stitchery is sweet labor
we shall be long in abolishing but for the
army of women who work at bread win
ming occupations all day to sit up half the
night to make their clothes is ruinOus
economy.
The man who earns s. a week has more
common sense. He doesn't put his even
ings into the sewing Of pantaloOn seams
The wOman's business is to sleep and get
strength to make the especial work she has
chosen more valuable. It will cost her
more than money to burn the candle at
both ends. We need to get rid of the sew
ing fetch, the idea that there is an in
herent, peculiar virtue III wOman's set
ting stitches.
IN point of fact it's all matter of con-
venience, and civilization will not have
done the fair thing by one whole sex until
it is as easy for a woman to walk into a
dry goods store and buy at a reasonable
price tasteful dress as it is now for man
TO supply himself with a good business suit
ready made.-New York Commercial Adj

It was only a cheap calico, L know; but
| why not buy pretty, becoming calico in
stead of hideous, unbecoming oneS A
lady, really true lady, that lives near
me takes as much pride in choosing her
calicoes as she does her cashmeres, for, as
she said: Il spend more.than half my time
in calicces, and if I don't look fresh and
pretty then my husband and children will
not try to look so, too"
asked her one day to show me her cali
Goes and she seemed quite as much pleased
in showing those caIicoes to me as some
society belle would in displaying before
the admiring eyes of her dearest friend an
expensive dress which had just come in
from some swell modiste
Now l viii tell you what they were.
One was a very pretty dark green, with a
tiny, narrow white stripe, that she wore in
the morning. 1t was loose wrapper, tied
in front with big sash of the same, and
cost 81. so.
There was very pretty pink one with
small white dots. That was for afternoon.
It was made in the form of wrapper, the
sleeves being very full and shirred into the
wrist
The sack was of the same.
There were dark puppies and light blues,
and when she threw them over her arm to
take them away felt like embracing that
woman and her calicoes, too.
She is brunette, with a good deal Of
color, and can wear all those pretty shades.

The regulation charge Of first class pro-

and they are in demand at that price. The
engagement Of a thoroughly trained nurse
IS considered by physicians as half the bat

well bred and delicately reared, but who

To Mend Old Rubbers.

1t Is sometimes very convenient to have
cement for India rubber, by means of
which worn spot in the overshoes or any
rubber article may be repaired without ex-
pense or trouble. To make a small guam
tity OF such a cement, sufficient to keep
for emergency, purchase five cents worth
Of red rubber from some dealer in dentists
supplies. Cut it into bits, put it into a
bottle and cover it with chloroform. In
about ten minutes it will be dissolved. 1t
should be applied with a brush ike a mu-
cilage brush.
Do not leave the bottle uncorked for an
instant, except while removing the brush,
and apply the cement as rapidly as posi-
bic, or it will harden. Where there Is
large hole piece of what is known as
rubber DAM" which may also be pur-
chased from dealer in dentists supplies,
may be useful. Cut out a piece of this Of
suitable size, fasten it over the whole with
few stitches and brush over the rubber
with the cement. Care should be taken
not to inhale any chloroform nor TO leave
this cement where children can get to it.

She took the pin from her hat to fasten
a bunch of roses on her breast. A gust Of
wind came along and blew the hat out Of
the window of the Sixth avenue elevated
train in which she was sitting on her way
up town.
She was about 20, decidedly chic and
handsomely dressed. She blushed little,
but few people in the car noticed the acct
dent.
A young man who sat across the aisle
saw what had happened. He hesitsted
moment. and then taking his own straw
hat, with a striped ribbon around the
crown, handed it to her with his card.
She took the hat and card, but before she
could thank the giver he had buried him
self in his paper, seemingly obhvious of all
around
The young woman threw the roses out of
the window and pinned the hat firmly on
her imperial head
She left the train at Eighteenth street.

If napkins are used before hands and lips
touch the goblets soap is not needed to
wash them. Hot water in a clean pan,
with clean cloth to wash with, answers
all purposes. The glasses should then be
set on folded towel TO drain and polished
with a clean towel. Cups and saucers, if
clear of coffee grounds, need no rinsing;
plates and vegetable dishes can have hot
water poured over them while held over
the dish pan. 4 mop is good for
washing the plates and larger dishes;
one can be made easily of old
fashioned candle wicking on the handle
of a little feather buster or a round
handled paint brush. A mop saves the
hands but il makes the washing process a
little slower. When pork, mutton, fish,
onions or any other greasy or loud smell
ing food is cooked soap and hot rinse water
must be used.-Good Housekeeping.

Queen Victoria at the age of Il is very
plain old lady, and she was by no means
good looking some thirty years ago, while
she was still in the prime of life. She suf-
fered great deal from attacks of erysipe-
las, which Redeemed and coarsened her skin.
She lost her teeth very early in life, owing
to the use of camphorated dentifrice to
which she took great fancy and which
proved most pernicious. But from her &C
cession at the age of IS till she was % or 26
the queen was very pretty young woman,
fresh and fair, with soft blue eyes, a small,
rosy mouth and the IoveHest arms and
shoulders imaginable. Her lack of height
was always great drawback and was the
cause of her delighting in giving grand
fancy costume balls, at which she was wont
to appear in a court toilet of the Eighteenth
century, the high heeled shoes which must
perforce be worn with such dress lending
a very becoming addition to her stature

A Business for Women.

Many women in these days declare that
they want TO work, and that they are will

or restaurant IN which unpleasant odors
invariably prepare you for what is coming
10 your table.
Now, believe thst two bright and re-
fined women could go 20 any fourishjng

Abolish the Sewing Fetch.
Wearing of the continual assertions
which certain of the other sex have main
tanned, Ike the whistling of a boy in a
cloudy night, perhaps to keep his courage
up, the new generation of women have re
fused to waste time in bandying words, but
have gone to work to disprove the aSser-
lions. And now 1t seems evident that with
few generations of this intellectual effort
and determination, and an education hith-
eTto granted only to men made the general
property of women, these girl graduates
the FawCetts, the Ransays, the Reeds-will
no longer be exceptional, nor win there be
any question of superior brain or superior
sex; but glad and free equality will put
such Vexing matters aside, viii acknowl-
edge that brain has nothingto do with sex,
and will allow men and women to go for
ward together TO whatever glorious end is
theirs.

cured, and to make her home all that the
ideal home should be- Beauty will still be

dcnical hCnors cannot strip women of
either; and the love that is attracted by
them when accompanied by thorough in
tellectual development is love which will
Cutlast that captured by the tricks and
arts which kinGle but q temporary fame,
for the development Of the mind develops
and enlarges all the rest of the being, other
things being equal. 1t is well known that
there are no better mothers, nor more
faithful wives, nor more accomplished
househeepers, nor more delightful guests
than can be found among our present cult
ured, learned and literary women.
All the education in the world will not
eradicate from the feminine nature the
household instincts or the love of home
and children. Nowhere is real intellectual
training found to weaken the feminine
type; but, on the contrary, homes are finer,
richer, more exalted and happier under its
power. 1t brings about a perception of
mutual rights that does not come to the
ignorant; it prevents encroachment; it rem
Gers due honor, and ii knows how to pro-
duce comfort and icy, and. puts the knowl-
edge to use. When at last any wide num-

DO a mighty race of men and women which
will be born and reared, compared with
whose achievement all that we have at
present will seem rudimentary.-

When Your Boy Comes from School.

shelf in the pantry to clear the way for the
edibles, and his trousers are torn at the
knees and he smells Of fish bait and pep

you love him.

will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess and
still land passengers in Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City.
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, ii gives Us through sleeping car

Colorado people a chance to 90 east via

be appreciated by the travelling public and

''Flours, " whose name was Imperial, gave
a luncheon to her subjects. When all
were seated at the banquet table some of
the low grades became envious of the
queens charms and popularity and cried
out We are as good as Imperial" The

arrived at that moment in his coach and
proclaimed the verdict of the people: I'm
