Education for Girls.

The doors of every institution Of learn
ing are not only being opened to girls and
women, but many efforts are being made
to provide WAYS to nelp them through
the course. The Brooklyn branch of the
Nassar students aid society has offered u
scholarship of Sl00 to the girl in the
locality represented by the branch who
passes the best examination next June.
This society by forming scholarships
hopes to help poor girls to get an educa-
ton. Barnard, Packer, Rutgers. the
New York training school for teachers
and others are represented in the union.
louisville, KY, has branch which has
offered $500 scholarship. Boston has
offered one of $500. The offer of the
general society OF $500 has already been
taken by girl who is now at Vassar.
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer claims
that "education is life;'' that it is not
enough at this day that women
can 20 through college and graduate
with high honors. but that there should
be chance for advanced study. And.
so many others believing likewise, it has
come ebout that the alumup of fourteen
OF the colleges built for and admitting
women have founded u European fellow
ship. The preference will be given to
those graduates who are expecting TO
teach in w0men's colleges or schools
rather than TO those who intend to follow
one OF the three so-called learned pro-
fesSions.

loom work wonders, and an elaborate
dress may be had ready made or be made
TO order in a few days. II is only neceS-
sary TO have the money TO pay for 1t.
All the rest is very PLAIN sailing, thanks
to the genius of that useful member of
society, man, whose ingenuity has
brought laees, fringes. embrOileries and
other artistic trimmings within reach OF
very modest purses. The consequence
of all this il that women have more time
to devote TO their underwear. Fifty
years ago the world knew very little OF
this subject. Indeed il was almost bad
form TO ellude to it. 1t was great mys-
terry i'll white. Then came the tilfing
hoop, so that Il woman couldn't enter an
omnibus without showing samples OF
white uudergarments. And as the linen
underskirts were stifily starched-the
more stiffiy and the more of them in pro-
portion to the wearer's wealth-it was an
easy thing to sit in ones pew and guess
the social standing of the ladies' who
passed up the aisles. without looking at
them, merely from the rattliug ami
cracking OF their starched linen skirts.
What l am coming TO Is this: That it
would be impossible for the confectioners
of artistic costumes, such as | am about
lection of fit, that grace of draping, that
clnging and moliing flexibility, that
tendency to the curve of beauty, If these
delicate fabrics were superirnposed upon
stifflv starched surfaces.
Take, for instance, the handsome
costume pictured in the first Illustration.
Here you have soft, flexible material
for the skirt, q elk cloth in new and
delicate shade, set off by a broad band of
gathered trimming outlined by rows OF
black velvet buttons. The corsage is
very pretty combination of white and
fswn-strped bengaline and black lace.
The sleeve, are of white epiugle pufed
and pleated, while the bertha and cuffs
are of white surah embroidered with
silk stars. The hat is in tawn velvet.
richly gurnitured with ostrich feathers.
To bring out the exquisite charm of
dress like this, of course good figure is
needful, and above all, perfectly fit
ting corset. and always, be it added,
corset upon which the dress was built,
for corsets and dresses go together now,
and you might as well try to paint
delicate miniature upon rough
canvas as TO make dress sit well
upon an ill-fttiug corset. And whether
a corset fits well or i'll often depends upon
what is under it. No matter how slight
a figure woman NAV have, it is better
to depend upon the beautiful rather
than the useful to disguise It. In other
words, give the gown trustworthy
foundation and rely upon adventitious
ornament TO simulate roundness aud

The best way to freshen up oiIcloihs

Real Education.

Mrs. Helen F.. Starrett, one OF
Chrago's brilliant women, in talking TO
the New York World, gives few Of Der
ideas on how TO :educate women. -
This is what she SAYS:
Once give full scope to the expression
of woman powers In any and every
form Of activity that may correspond 10
those powers, relieve alike from fear of
poverty and dependence and from the
tyranny of enforced inactivity, aud
womarhood will blossom into a beauty
and strength AMI LONELINESS of character
hitherto undreamed of. Especially in
the home relations OF women
will this tie apparent. As an earnest
thinker upon the subject has said: sit
Is inevitable that the removal of any ex-
ternal pressure Of necessity to marry for
the sake OF home and support will have
q tendency to elevate the standard OF
marriage. first among women and then
among men, One of the greatest foes
to happy marriages 10 the existence Of
the mercenary spirit OH the part Of par
en;s and daughters. Nothing will SO
effectively remove 1t as the possession by
young girls and women OF satisfactory
honorabls. remuueratire occupations aud
The coun;enance and appreciation of So

sweets Is put on the table, everything
being passed around by the walters and
each one allowed to help himself. This
is inconvenient and takes much longer
but II shows of the elegant silver and
glassware to the best advantage.
The ingenuity OF the dinner giver IL
expended in the cards. each one trying
to get up something original and in con-
sequence the styles are legion. Quota
tains and conumdruns excite great
merriment, while a conversational with
the topics printed OH each favor and
twenty minutes to a half hour allowed
for each subject assures a constant flow
OF conversation. Satin ribbon two or
three inches wide by nine long. with
fringsd ends, is painted in the prevailing
color and has tiny card for the name Of
the guest tied on With little bows or rib
bon. French etchings are often pre-
ferred to the paintings. Bisque flowers
with card attached are very beautiful
and bon bon boxes filed with candies are
very ''sweet.'
There is q gradual return to the as
signing of guests in the drawing room.
When all Is ready. by gesture alone,
the hostess directs the way. She, her
self, goes last to the table, the person
for whom the dinner Is given leading the
way. Three or four menu cards may be
placed on the table or not, rs the hostess
prefers 1t is little more nice not to
have them.
The arrangement of the menu, II not
in the hands of a professionul-and such
here are not ALWAYS to be had-is q mo-
mentous affair, AMI q mistake in serving
is regar Led almost objectionable, or at
least betrays ignorance which IN the So
rial court is no more an excuse than il Is
in courts OF law. Fashionable diner are
not usually prohibitiouists; or, il they
are, custom warrants the placing of wine
upon the table aud allowing each guest
TO settle the drinking thereof as his con-
science may direct. A counoisseur in
wines would he inexpressibly shocked a
any bluudering here, aud as good
standard for dinner menu, the follow
ing is submitted:
Raw oysters, with brown bread and
chateau sauterue; light soup, sheryr,
fish. cucunbers, Mossell WINE, entree
timbales, Rhine wine. roasted meat. one
or two vegetables, olives, claret, sher-
bet, game, lettuce or other light salads.
This is the latest style OF serving: Sailed
Almonds, champagne: dessert, hot pud-
ding, chumpngne; ice cream served in
fancy individuuls the color of which COR
responds with the prevailing color OF the
dinner or in little baskets, which is the
newest; preserved ginger. champagne;
truckers aud cheese, rich Burgundy;
fruits, nuts, raisins or candies; coffee,
cognae. Those who have very elegant
tables frequently remove the cloth for
the nuts aud bon bOns. From the mo-
ment of the arrival of the first guest un-
Ill the departure of the last one the
hostess must devote herself entirely to
them, ignoring all irregularities of
service as is she were herself guest, re-
memOering that the success of the din
ner depends rot so much on the perfect
service as her manner of presiding.

How Different Women Lovs.

A French woman loves to the end of
the honeymoon, the English woman her
whole life, the German woman forever.
The French woman takes her daughter
to the bail, the English woman takes
hers to church, the German woman gives
hers employment in the kitchen. The
French woman has spiri; and imagiua-
ton, tn. English woman has little taste,
the German woman, modesty. The
French woman chats, the English woman
speaks, the German woman renders de-

nounces; but all at some time marry
