Progress of American Women.

The women of Amo RIGA are progre S.
ing in all directions at such rate as to
call forth comments from all parts of
the world. They have taken off their
little pinching, thin-soled shoes and let
their toes spread out; they conse-
quently walk more in the open air.
They have united their corset-strings
and breathe freer. They have cut
down and opened up the high collar,
and can turn their heads about freely.
They formerly knew little about per-
sonal comfort, and now they long or
it. The young girl clings to her tennis
or boating suit, while the older sister
and mother wear their bedroom gowns
as late as possible, and create occasions
when they can appear in tea-gowns.
To the stout woman has got to come
some new form of dress-something
entirely different from that we now
have-apd when women are as free as
birds and look well, then we will have
really advanced. An anatomst of ma.
tional reputation says that women
that is, women generally-will not be
able to do the brain work of men until
the arterial blood is not restrained in
passage by any bands, cages, bones, or
steels.- Washington Post.

A CObWeb Party.

There is something "new under the
sum-" and it is so delightful to find
something entirely new that | want 10
share the pleasure with my friends. 1t
is Cobweb Party" Does not that
sound interesting? Imagine yourself
ushered into a room, and being con-
fronted with an immense cobweb
stretching from floor to ceiling, land being
told that you are to assist in olsen
tangling the same. 1t looks lat first light,
like an ineXtricable mixture of blue and
pink lines, without beginning or end.
The foundation of the web is formed
by using quite coarse twine-hemp i
the best. Begin by fastening one end
to the top of oor-frame, bringing it
down diagonally and lacking to the
floor on the opposite side. Start
another from some opposite point-a
window cornice or some convenient
place. Tack this also to the floor in
the same way. Another line may come
perpendicularly from the top of a
chandelier to the floor, and have two
interse citing lines, until there are six or
eight; they should be stretched quite
firmly, in order to bear the strain of
the others. l should have said that it
must be placed as nearly as possible
in the center of the room, in order to
leave space on either side to pass
around. For the web lines, use smaller
cord of two colors, blue for gentlemen
and pink for ladies'. Wind several
yards of each color into balls, as many
balls as guests, tie an end firmly to a
foundation cord and then weave in and
out, first blue and then pink, knotting
over occasionally. No hard knots are
allowed; it is difficult enough to get
out of the web without the addition of
these obstacles. When al the cords
are woven in, an end of ach must be
left loose and-odd numbers for gentle
men, even ones for ladies. The diff.
c. lty in getting out of the web will be
entirely according to the ingenuity of
the weaver. No one is allowed to assist
or show any favor; each must win on
his or her own meiis. Now that the
We b is arranged, the next consideration
is the company. Twelve is a very good
number, six ladies and six gentle
men; more are apt to interfere with each
other in passing from side to side. Pro-
vide small ragged-edged cards, tied
with the colors of the cord and in
scribed "Cobweb Party" and num-
bered in the same way as the cords on
the web. Distribute the cards, and
each guest will then proceed to find the
end corresponding to the number on
the card, and at a signal from the hos
tess will begin to unravel. Two prizes
are usually given for the lady and the
gentleman who are first out of the web,
and two BOBBY prizes for the unfor-
Inmates who are left longest in the
meshes. The " cobweb party" is one
of the readiest promoters of sociability
and fun, to say nothing of taxing pa
tience and ingenuity to the utmost

Conversation a Lost Art.

The last of our voice arts is converse
ton. a recent writer in The Nelo Re
rieU, in an article on Talk and Talk
ers of To day." calls in question the
" commonplace of social criticism !"
that conversation is lost art, and in
stances Mr.. Charles Villers, Mr. Glad
stone, Lord Granville, Mr.. Morley and
Lord Salisbury as takers who may be
compared with Sydney Smith, Macau-
lay, Lord Derby and Bishop Wilber-
force. But one might well ask whether
these were takers of to-day or yester-
day. Good takers no doubt there are
even in the younger generation, but in
comparison with the number of schol-
airs of the day the number of good
takers is pitifully small. What men
know they have acquired for the
most part through the eye, and such
knowledge is not in form to be brought
out readily through the mouth. This
is a generation of readers, writers,
thinkers, experimenters, inventors, but
not of takers. Under our present con-
ditioDs Of life we may expect converse
tional power to decline still more than
it has done.-G. T. Patrick, IN Popular
Science Monthly.

though she has for many years lived in
retirement, her expenditure has not
materially decreased for the mise en-
scene of royal pageantry is still kept up.
She has expended considerable sums
upon the purchase of the estates of o.
borne and Balmoral, and their mainte-
nance falls on her. She has, too, made
considerable monetary presents to her
daughters on their marriages, so that,
although she inherited e250,000 from a
silly person who left her this amount,
her private fortune is comparatively
small. Two years ago Lord Saisbury's
government submitted to parliament a
proposal to endow her grandchildren. A
committee of the House of Commons
was appointed to consider this demand,
when it was decided that provision
ought only to be made for the children
of the Prince of Wales. The COM
mittee was informed, under pledge Of
secrecy, of the total value of her males
ty's investments. As l was member
of the committee, / cannot, of cours e.
violate this pledge; but do not think
that | am breaking confidence in say
ing that the amount was surprisingly
small.-Henry Labouchere, in Forum.

Woods Appetite.

Unfeeling critics have sometimes
found fault with the writers of sporting
sketches because of their proneness to
chronicle their emotions on sitting down
to the first meal in the woods, to expa-
tiate on the savory qualities of the camp
food, and TO aver as a meritorious claim
that the party did full justice to " the
cook, the cooking or the food. AS we
have pointed out the secret of this is
that one finds in the forest an appetite
and relish for food, which any sem
sible doctor would declare to be uner-
ring indications of improved physical
condition. In the year book of the Bisby
Club we find q suggestive note in the
statement of expenses for the year.
" The cost of living in the woods" says
General r. u. Sherman, the author of
the report, sis not to be estimated by
its cost in the settlements. The fact is
well established by experie nee, that
the consumption per head is, at least,
double in the woods what it is outside"
And when a man finds in his camp a
new stomach and new palate, a new
capacity and new appreciation of food,
why should he not be given the priv
ilege of relating his good fortune and
putting it in the permanent record as
among those things in search of what
1t is worth while going fishing and shoot
ing?-F'OreSt and Stream.

net frame, and border Of velvet or
spangled galloon in harmonizing color
finishes the edge, and the bonnet is
completed by trimmings Of jet or feath-
ers. Fancy feathers have again bet n
introduced, but the tendency is towards
the use of ostrich tips in preference to
any other trimmings. Velvet is used
in ribbons, and by the piece, and is
mixed with spangled gauzes, nets and
the lightest laces. There are even
flowers made of velvet, which are pre-
ferred to the more natural French
flowers. Helena Ro,ce IN Good House

SlavOnian Fairies.

The Villas, which occupy the greatest
space in the popular lore, are female
beings of the same kind as the fairies
or wood-nymphs of the Germanic ma
tons. The etymology of the name is
uncertain, but it is supposed to mean
rusic;" and the Villas are therefore
spirits of the wood The belief in them
controls all the incidents of the peas
ants life. The spirits are supposed to
appear rarely alone, but usually in COM
psnies of two, three, five, or seven.
They are distinguished by an extraor-
binary maidenly beauty, clear complex
ion, slender stature, and dark, wavy
move lightly and freely through the air,
being winged, although their wings are
usually invisible. They can also lay
their wings aside. Their dress is sim
pie, and includes crown of pearls on
the head inclasping the floating hair;
long white robe, such as is worn by
the peasant women at their work, reach
ing to the ground, without any outer
garment; and girde of red silk. They
enjoy everlasting youth, are acquainted
with divination and healing, have ac-
cess to all the treasures of the earth,
and can at will produce love or hatred
in the children of men. They are
friendly to deer, horses, sheep, and
goodly men. They can assume the
form of the gray mountain wolf. I'm
der some circumstances they are pet
fish, evil, and vengeful; they teach
children 10 steal; but sometimes, out
of pity, take forlorn orphans under
their care. They prefer to live upon
or in trees, especially favoring the lin
den and nut trees; travel in the clouds
or in whirlwinis; dance on hillocks,
in green fields at springs, on roofs, and
under isolated trees, accompanying the
exercise with songs, and are distin-
guished by a clear, penetrating cry

Monthly.

Not SO Peaceful as We Seem

We are supposed to be a peaceful ma
ton, but we have had our fair share of
strife, foreign and domestic. Since the
Revolution there have been wars with
England and with Mexico, " it'll Tripoli
and with Algiers; broils with Paraguay
and Corea, and a gigantic civil war;
rumors of wars with France, England,
Spain and Italy. There have been the
John Brown raid, the Barnburner and
Fenian raids to Canada, many incur
sions across the Mexican border, and
the filibustering expeditions to Cuba
and Nicaragua. We have had the
Whskey and Shay's rebellions; the
election, draft, railroad, reconstruction,
and sundry serious city riots; we have
had well on to two hundred deadly In
dian fights and many awful massa ores.
We have lest more men in active war
since 1776 than any nation of Europe.
This is a startling record for peaceful
people.-Colonel Theodore A. Dodge,
in Forum.

The Girl Who is Ever Welcome.

The welcome guest is the girl who,
knowing the hour for breakfast, appears
at the table at the proper time, does not
keep others waiting and does not get in
the way of being down haitian hour be-
fore the hostess appears. The welcome
guest is the girl who, if there are not
many servants in the house, has sufli-
cient energy to take care of her own
room while she is visiting, and if there
are people whose duty it is, she make S
that duty as light as possible for them
by putting away her own belongings,
and so necessitatng no extra work.
She is the one who knows how to be
pleasant to every member of the family,
and who yet has tact enough to retire
from a room when some special family
affair is under discussion. She is the
one who does not find children disa-
greeable, or the various pets of the
household things to be dreaded. She
is the one who, when her hostess is
busy, can enter tain herself with a book,
a bit of sewing, or the writing of let
ter. She is the one who, when her
friends come to see her, does not disar-
range the household in which she is
staying that she may entertain them.
She is one who, having broken the
bread and eaten the salt of her friend,
has set before her lips seal of silence
so that When she goes from the house
she repeats nothing but the agreeable
things she has seen. This is the well
come guest-the one to whom we say
goodbye with regret, and to whom we
call out welcome with the lips and from
the heart.-Ne,O York Fashion Bazar.
