GEMS OF ART.
Psrasol Handles Much shorter Than Last
Season.

Parasol Handles Much shorter Than Last
Season.
The gaudiness, lightness and fluff
ness which characterizes all the femi-
nine modes this season is especially
marked in parasols. Such charming
effects rs are seen in lace, chiffon and
tulle in the most fetching colors, all
pulled. ruffied and shirred.
OF the less elaborate which ono
might fancy more appropriately carried
with tailor-made gown, was noticed
a stylish red silk shade, with Malacca
stick and white ivory handle carved in
the form of a Holsters claw, and was
marked sixteen dollars
The handles, remarkably shorter
than those carried season ago, are Of
natural wood or exquisitely carved.
many of them being perfect gems Of
art.
A very pretty novelty seen at one OF
our fashionable stores the other day,
and pronounced one of the most stylish
of this seasons productions, was pur.
chased by a society belle for forty-five
dollars.
1t was one of those favorite models,
TWENTY-FIVE o inch frame, covered with
maize chiffon, having a ruffie of pale
lavender around the edge, set off by a
band of mock jewels which were per-
feet match to the rufile. A handsome
bow of lavender silk velvet ribbon was
gracefully fastened on one side. and
further added to the charming effect.
The handle was of wood. beautifully
carved.
Another exquisite shade was Of
changeable silk. shading red and green.
particularly attractive on account Of
the handle, which was Of pearl beauti-
fully inlaid with gold, wrought in q
very fine and artistic design and valued
at forty dollars.
One of China silk, especially dainty
and much admired, was OF delicate
heliotrope in color, handsomely en-
broidered in the fieur de lis pattern,
and trimmed with a ruffie of chiffon,
with similar embroidery. The handle
was of white ivory, also decorated with
the feur de lis. The price of this was
thirty-five dollars.
A new shape introduced this season
had every alternate rib shortened; the
effect was such that one might suppose
it had been out in gale.
Very few of the high-class goods are
now imported, American manufacture
being considered equal if not superior
to the foreign make.-Boston Globe.

he was only there on Ellen's account.

"Poor woman" said he, seriously,
''she is infinitely miserable. and that is
sufficient to arouse my sympathy

And Miss Ellen was not the mag

like q CLEAN of sunshine passed over
his face.
Miss Ellen must attract everyone
who is not deaf and blind-she is q
sweet creature. Happy the man who
gets such a woman. What could do
with fresh rose like her? In the dull,
heavy atmosphere Of sickroom, which
will soon become my whole world, she

"Wearied to DEATH" he said calmly,

He sank upon a bench. brought
him glass Of Hungarian wine, and he
revived SO much that could lead him
to his room.
As he wanted to rest, left him and
went back into the garden to seek Miss
Rennert and talk with her about his
condition.
The countess and Miss Rennert had
gone into the house. In the place where
the old lady had been sitting, found
Miss Ellen, her arms upon the small
table; her head, with its wreath of
golden tresses, upon her arms! At first
thought she slept, and was about to
withdraw, when I noticed that the
upper part Of her body shook with sup
pressed sobs.
Deep compassion for this lovely
maiden possessed me. She looked SO
childlike in this position, while the sun
light played so joyously about her form,

BUSINESS WOMEN.

Advice for Their Guidance by One Speaking
From Experience.
There are few thoroughly successful
business women, chiefly because they
aspire to something unattainable, name
ly-a position in society, and as re-
suit, naturally meet rebuff. II q
woman starting in business will attend
to it carefully, seeking nothing but q
money gain there will be but few fail
ures. Another idea is to seek the ad-
ministration of woman, not of man;
if woman loves woman, so will they be
admired by the other sex. There is
nothing SO lovable in woman as the
gentle dignity which says, I
am woman in woman's
place, and the mere matter of not
seeking admiration makes her all the
more sought after. Never try to attract
attention in a public place; never speak
of being business woman in q street
car or thoroughfare Simply drawing
public attention is not drawing public
regard Keep in woman's place al
though you are occupying mans posi-
ton. Never allow social pleasures
to interfere with business dur
ing business hours. always pre-
serve q reserved appearance; always be
agreeable, never discourteous; if COM
plants are made, try to repair the
wrong; never allow your temper to
show itself, and remember the old
adage. sugar catches more flies than
vinegar" Lastly-but not least by any
means-do not go into business unless
you are actually forced to. If there is
man in your family do not attempt to
help make the living unless you are de-
prived of actual necessities, for men be-
come careless and neglect women when
they see they can do SO; better try to
live ON his moderate income than in
crease it with your own labor, which
in time decreases his admiration for
you. Help him in many ways; look
after his clothes that they may last
longer; look after the grocery and other
bills necessary, and keep them IN &C
cordance with you husbands income,
and you will be more cheerful help
than were you to go out in business
life. Have always Q cheerful smile
when MS business goes wrong; say to
him, Don't bother your head dear,
can do with little less" In this way
the help is more satisfactory, and will
in every case bring more happiness and
lighter hearts than all the wages you
may be able to earn. ] speak from ex'
perisncs. of Women.

''Take, for example, Miss Ellen; how

"Ah! you must not take Miss Ellen as

a FACTOR IN SOCIAL REFORM.

The Good Work Being Done by the Many
Women's Clubs In tho Country.
Note should be taken Of the women's
clubs which are springing up oil over
the country. They have evidently
come, as the saying is, to stay. Some
little personal acquaintance with the
work, spirit and personnel of one such
club, leads me to believe that, where
they are wisely guided, their power as
an instrument of social reform is very
great, and is to be still greater. In
these clubs questions of domestic econ

the administration Of the home. the

no reason why such clubs should be

and large towns; no reason why they
should not exist in every village;
