An observing man who walked q long
way down Broadway one morning recent
" about s o'clock came to some astound-
ing conclusions about the way in which
the business woman of New York cares
for the adjoining of her feet, or rather
how she doesn't. Out of the hundred
whom he is sure he must have met only
four or five wore brown shoes, two or
three wore patent feathers, and all the
rest Wore kid boots. OF these ninety
pairs of shoes how many pairs do You
suppose were neatly polished and worthy
of being Worn by a gentlewoman? Just
two. And Il pair was by a prim
lady in middle life, Enthusiastically a spins

WOMAN'S WORLD.
THE THREE MAiDENS AT SARATOGA
AND THEIR BODYGUARD.

Another New Profession Thorough
Business woman-A Business Woman

cessfuI Warbler.
We are certainly beginning to get very
aristocratic and English here in America.
The other evening in Saratoga three
young women were noticed strolllng
slowly down North Broadway, one of the
beautiful residence avenue of that fa-
nous spa. 1t was an early hour, and
there would have been nothing remark
sble in the fact that three tall, fine look
ing women, we'll dressed and of digni-
fed bearing, should stroll on a quiet
thoroughfare in the first half of a lovely
summers evening but for this circum-
stance: Eighteen feet, perhaps, behind
the trio walked, with measured step ex-
actly suited to keep his distance, ayoung
lackey in full livery, presumably as a
protector. A good many people turned
and looked after them, and it doubtless
occurred to the majority Of such specta-
tors that so far as protection went the
follower had considerable advantage
over the followed.
All the young women were above the
average height, were evidently up in
athletics, and looked as if any one of
them could pick up the little tiger, top
boots, cockade and all and toss him
aside without any inconvenience. AS
Stunning, however, that the servant was
acting in the capacity of protector, one
wondered next from what he was guard
ing his charges. Not certainly from the
various orderly persons who passed from
time to time, MOI from the gay group of
cottagers who o. their piazzas more
often saluted the sauntering maidens as
friends than gazed calmly at them as
strangers, nor could there be lurking
dangers in deeply Swallowed spots, for
such did not exist, with lamps at every
rne and electric lights at near dis
tances.
1t really seemed very absurd, but the
young women sauntered slowly on, evil
IDENTIFY with no goal in view; reached a
point sufficiently near the hotel and near
the business part of the thoroughfare,
turned abruptly, "Jeems" jumping aside
with a salute to permit them to take the
lead again, and in the fashion they had
come down they strolled up again, enter
ing finally with the air of reaching home
the lawn of a handsome residence in the
heart of the cottage colony, Jeems Soc
ing them safe to the palm grown piazza
before he wheeled off, still discreetly dis
tant, to the rear of the premises.-New

A new organization of wage earning
| women has been founded to insure wom-
en- against temporary illness and also ar
range to pay their heirs, in consideration
of a premium, 4 certain amount in case
of DEATH. The society is arranged and
governed entirely by women and is self
supporting, the management expenses
being provided for by entrance fees, fines
and donations OF friends.
A woman of 25, by paying something
less than So each year, will receive in
case of sickness 50 aweek for six months
and 81 a week after that until death, when
her heirs receive about $50. For a larger
premium of course greater benefits are
received. Members may also subscribe
to an annuity fund, in which case pay
ments cease when the annuity COM
n The society was founded at the
request of hundreds of wage earners,
who claimed that they were unable to
find in all the charitable and friendly
organizations for working women any
society which insured them against tenn
porary illness. or would give them, even
for a consideration, any adequate sick
beneht.-New York Sun.

Tints in Cosmetics.

Cosmetic manufacturers keep abreast
of the times. They send to glovers and
designers of fabrics for samples of the
coming %colors," which are reproduced
not only in perfumes and soaps, but skin
lotions and face powders. Early in the
year everything ran to lilac tints, of
which there were seven different shades.
Rumor has it that this is to be q season
of silver and magenta, and the pearl
powders, the currant, raspberry, garnet
and crimson tints are a beautifully re-
produced in magnesia, French chalk and
pulverized rice as the amber tints OF
1885, the violet shades Of 1887 and the
lilac of u year ago.-Exchange.

organization composed of about a hun

AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE.

Don't look for the flaws as you go through hfe'
And even when you find them
1t Is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
It is better by far to hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life ruEs ever away
To the bosom Of Gods great ocean.
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think TO alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe
Remember, it lived before you.
Don't butt at the storm with your puny form
But bend and let it go DER you
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whims TO the letter.
Some things must go wrong your whole life long.
And the sooner you know it the better.
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle.
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan
AS the water shapes into a vessel.

A Business Woman at One Hundred.

A Business Woman at One Hundred.
A Manchester Union nan in the course
of his travels picked up a Renaissance
of We olden time in the form of a partial
history Of a lady bora and bred upon the
rugged hillsides of the old Granite state,
who, although rounding out the last year
of q century since she first saw the light,
is noted in the section where she nov re-
sides as a person of rare business ability
and sagacity.
Deborah Ball Powers first saw the
light of day in that portion of the town
of Hebron known as Tenny Hill, in the
a 1890, in the month of August. She
has therefore rounded out q lifetime of
a full century. The neighborhood where
she was born was a prosperous farming
community in her early days, peopled
mostly by families of the names Of
Crosby and Bail. and the late DR.. Ord
way, one of the founders of the well
known lumber firm of Brown Lumber
Company, at Whitefield, was raised in
that immediate vicinity. But the glory
of Tenny Hill has long since departed,
and not a single resident now claims it
as a home, although in later years Mrs.
Powers has purchased the old homestead
and will retain it as long as she lives.
She was the founder of the OldLadies'
home in Lansingburg, where she main
tains ten inmates at her OWL expense.
While engaged in these works Of char
ityin her adopted state she never forgets
the home of her nativity, to which her
last visit was made when she was 81
years old. AT her own expense she built
a fence around the Hebron cemetery
and placed a fund of $1,000, the income
of which is to be used for the purpose of
keeping the cemetery grounds in shape.
She still retains her mental faculties to
a remarkable degree. Boston Globe.
