WOMEN AND THE FAIR.

What They Are Doing Toward Great
Exhibition of Their Achievements.
Ever since a special women's depart
ment was made a feature of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition the women of
America and the world have been on
their mettle. What was at first decided
a piece of folly by some croakers, and
q useless innovation by others, has even
at this early date amply justified its ex-
istence. Never before has emancipated
woman had such an opportunity for
displaying to the world her special
achievements. From the old world
came gratifying assurances that wom-
ems cooperation in this worlds fair
will be on scale little less generous
than in the United States Mrs. PALM
ers labors in Europe have laid the
foundation of o network of women's
organizations in every civilized country
with the special object of cooperation
in the women's display at the fair. In
England several royal personages have
given aid to the movement in behalf of
the women's display, and the value of
such cooperation can best be estimated

The Ingenins Way New York Woman Has
Of Earning . Livelihood.
Here is a curious but incontestible
fact. In New York city certain wom-
an. and rather young one. too. has
done some surprising sub rosa literary
work in the past few years that. it is
safe to say, will never be traced back
to the author. She is weaver of plots.
and sells her schemes outright for cash
before they are ever put on paper. 1t
appears that this new Arachne has been
spinning intricate webs of fancy ever
since she was child.
Many wonderful things were prophe-
sled of the time when she should reach
woman's estate and fill in her clever
outlines with suitable material But
when it came to actual work the young
genius was a lamentable failure She
couldn't do it. Editors were pleased to
compliment the ingenuity of her plans,
but advised her to fold cravats for liv-
ing rather than waste paper and ink on
such pitifully bad stuff.
1t was telling her tragical experience
to q jaded novelist one day that finally
revolutionized her fortune. The weary
man of letters proposed buying the next
plot she should conceive for story. Sure
enough he did, paid fat price down,
and no inconsiderable bonus when the
sales mounted up in the tens of thou
sands. Pride would not permit him to
have collaboration, and, sworn to
secrecy. his partner has worked ever
since Slptchinp ont every detail of the
stories that have earned him fame and
her money.
For it seems the lady is no laggard in
business matters. and only consented to
a continuance Of their arrangement and
his exclusive right to her cleverness for
considerations that tip the balance in
her favor SO far as earnings are con-
cerned. The secret is still supposed to
be very profound one. in even the
literary world, where rivals marvel
over the regeneration of BIS old-time
vigor.-Illustrated American.

A Little Thief.

Mrs. Plumb, across the alley, thinks
her yellow cat, Buff, the most know
ing cat in the world. I begin to think
so, too.
I was sitting at my upstairs window
this morning when the milkman came
and left milk in bowl on the table on
Mrs. Plumb's back porch.
Buff was summing himself under the
table, and never opened his eyes till
the milkman was gone. Then, as
quick as wink, he hoped on the ia
bic and began tapping the milk, often
stopping to look around at the window,
as though lie feared his mistress might
see him.
Two or three times he seemed to
think he heard her coming out, and he
jumped down and curled himself under
the table as if he were asleep. But
no one came out, SO he hoped up
again.
He ate till he had enough, evidently,
then he jumped down. washed himself.
and lay down to sleep. just then his
mistress came out.
She looked sharply at the milk, as
she took it up, and then at Buff. And
would you believe it? That cat open
