The woman wanderers are returning from
far away lands with glowing accounts
of the chivalry of the natives toward the
woman traveller. Mrs. French Sheldon,
after her six months ramble Gin darkest
Africa" tells of the great kindness and at
tention she received from the native chiefs
and people, and brings many valuable testi-
monials of their appreciation of her pluck.
Mrs. Bishop, after her Turkish Kurdistan
trip, says that woman meets with less in
conveniencies than man, and that in all
countries she found that her sex commanded
the most chivalrous respect. 81 have been
once attacked" she says, "but never in
suited, and even in Mohammedan countries
no one has ventured SO much as to raise the
curtain of my tent" These enterprising
women explorers are not the first, for they
are antedated by Lady Barker, Mrs. Liv-
ingstone, who is buried on the Shire banks;
Mrs. Hore, who carried her baby in her
arms to Tanganyika, and Mile. Time, who
was murdered in attempting to reach Tim
buctoo from Tripoli.

Handsome lace is now much used, espe
cially as yokes and cuffs for blouses, full
fronts, puffed sleeves, ETC., and it never
fails to give an air of elegance to the most
simply made dresses. We often see sleeves
made entirely of lace stuff, matching the
rest of the trimming Thus in the pale
blue mousseline-deilaine dress in our initial
illustration the entire sleeves, the yoke
and band are made of coarse white lace.

The number of new and beautiful tollettes

those which appeared to us most worthy OF

Some Democrats Blame Pattison-Mr.
nutch1er Does Not Take That View.
Democrats returning from Pennsylvania
are naturally in no very comp1acent mood.
They are crestfallen and angry, for, while few
Of them expected to defeat the Republican
nominees, neither did they expect to be
themselves showed under so deeply as the
returns show them to have been. They hoped,
at least, to keep the Republican plurality
down to small figure
Some of them are angry at Governor Patti
son and are inclined to impute the bad show
ing which the party made to his appointments
and his course while the election was pend
ing. ''Pattison has disgusted great many
Democrats by his appointments" one Penn
sylvania Democrat, who was In the State dur
ing the campaign, said yesterday. SIN some
Democratic districts our vote was largely
reduced because of the unpopularity of the
men he has placed In Office. Then the fact
that he never opened his mouth to say word
in favor of the Democratic ticket from the
opening to the close of the campaign hurt us
great DEAL Even the report circulated all
over the State that he was opp osed to one of
our candidates he did not think 1t worth
while to contradict until few days before elec-

into the campaign and made few speeches
for the ticket, it would have made thousands
of votes for US. But he wouldn't lift his
hand. He takes the ground that Governor
of great State is too high, mighty and digni-
fed an Individual to 60 on the stump. When
asked to do 80, he said that he was out of
politics. Well he is out of politics for good
now. The defeat of the Democrats ON Tues
day has killed Pattison's Presidential boom,
/ think, and am glad of it.'
Other Pennsylvania Democrats do not take
this view of 1t. One of these Is Representa-
tive Mutchler. He said yesterday he had not
looked for Democratic success The Demo-
cratic masses were apathetic and could not be
interested in the campaign. In the country it
was impossible to get the farmers away from
their fall work. Then the Republicans were
thoroughly aroused by Governor Pattison's
course In calling the Legislature together for
the investigation OF the treasury scandals and
spared no efforts to save themselves from de-
feat.
Nr. Mutchler does not think the elections
Will have much effect on the candidates for
the Democratic Presidential nomination next
year. ~ don't see that Cleveland has been
made any stronger by the results of the elee-
tions," he said. sThe situation is Just what 1t
was before. Cleveland was strong enough
already In the country generally to get that
nomination If New York asked it for him.
That's the point. II New York is for Cleve-

The Artists' sooiety.s Exhibition.

The Society of Washington Artists proposes
holding two regular exhibitions each season,
one in the spring for oils, water colors, draw
ings, etc., and the other in the winter, to in
clude water colors, pasuels, charcoals, ETC., in
fact everything except oil pictures. The
winter exhibit will be held at Woodward &
Lothrop's gallery from December z to Decem-
ber 10, 1891, inclusive, and all works must be
ready by November 28. The exhibition will
be confined exclusively to Washington artists.
While ladies are not admitted to membership
in the society, they enjoy perfect
equality as exhibitors, and compete for first
place and prizes, just like the other fellows
All entries for the December exhibition
must be made by Saturday, November 28, be-
fore o'clock p. m. No works in packing
cases will be received at the gallery, and
works OF nonresident artists should, there
fore, be sent to some consignee in Washington
to act as agent for the exhibitor. All works
intended for the exhibition must have a card
attached giving the title, the name of the
owner, and the price. Original works by
Washington artists, not before included in a
public exhibition in Washington, and ap-
proved by the executive committee, will be
accepted for this exhibition. In all cases the
judgment. of the committee will be final A
member OF the society will attend to the sale
OF works in the exhibition, and commission

creditable one. Mr.. Brook enjoyed, during
the summer, long-coveted run through
Holland, and there are several restful rural
views resulting. Mr.. Brook affects the dun

scenery, and these roads running like tiny
ribbons between expanses Of green have a

Prof Sousa and the other is bit of character
study. Helmig gives garden scene in black
and white in one picture,and a"Lady on Sofa"
in another. Mr.. M. Gill has series of pictures
that fall below his usual standard. But where
there is so much to commend, and evidently
such general onward impulse moving our
home artists to do the best that is in them, it
is much more pleasant to commend than to
indulge in too close or captious criticism.
The work done by the men and women here
who devote themselves to art as to revered
mistress compares very favorably with that
of the average in New York or Boston as to
quality, il not as to quantity.
