Hope Deferred M3koth the Heart SIck-A
 Story of Rich and Poor.
 The cold, gray shades of winter evening were falling-like patent win dow blinds The last rosy rays of the sun fell gently on the bent shoulders and tossed hair of a woman who sat at the easement looking out op the chill emptiness of a city street. Her face, still young and pretty, proclaimed edu- cation, even gentility-as did her slen- der white fingers, too frail to be rough ened by toll. She wrung them despair ingly, moaning:
 Ut will not come-I am sure it will not comer' The fire was dying in the little grate. 'If those people only knew," she said, "what suffering they cause with their delays! While they go on cheerfully and have so much money they will hardly look at you Yet she promised to let me have it to- day"
 There was a ring at the bell. She sprang to her feet and pressed her face eagerly against the pane. But it was only the postman with tailor's circu- lar. She sank back in her chair and cov- cred her face with her hands, while scalding tears oozcd one by one between her fingers as she burst into passion of sobs. Was it the poor sewing-girl wait ing, deprived of her just dues and of her humble dinner by the capricious delay ofher wealthy patroness?
 No, sympathetic reader, no. It was, on the contrary, the rich girl herself, whose prevaricating dressmal1er had promised to let her have the new even- ing gown she mast wear that night ''be- fore three o'clock in the afternoon, at latest, without fail. "-Fredc H. Wilson, in Puck

Women and Their Watches.

The idea that womens watcnes on a bracelet of leather is something new, as stated by a New York paper the other day, struck mo as being funny. We have had them for two years. confess that think it is a good idea. Any idea which will make a woman wear watch where she will pay it some attention is good one. The majority of women do not know how to treat a watch. They put it in their dresses so the chains will show, and they seem to think that will regulate their time pieces. They forget half the time to wind their watches and then wonder why they don't keep the correct time. A fortune awaits the milliner who will make place in @ woman's dress where 6 watch can be carried so that when u is taken out the idea will occur to the wearer 10 give it proper attention.-C cago Tribune.

WOMEN ON DIVORCE.
An Old Chicago Law yer Agrees with Mrs.
 Amelia l.. Barr's Views.

Amelia l.. Earr's Views.
 have had a good many divorce cases. Women as a rule decry divorces and say they are a curse to the marriage system, and yet it is a woman's first thought when she has row with her husband. The women of intelligence who write about the subject and who are presumed to be cool-headed about it warm up in their discussion of it and come to the conclusion that divorce is all right if the woman gets it. Occasionally we find a woman who rises to an unbiased view of the question. Such woman, for in stance, is Amelia E. Barr, NZo in an article just printed in one of the maga- zines says:
 Ut Is said, The woman who deliber- ates is lost The truth is women are lost because they do not deliberate. Thackeray had the profoundest insight into woman's heart when he made the miserable wife of Barnes Newcome leave her husband and home in an hour when she had no such intention. Cruelty tempted, perplexed and bewildered, when passion is stronger than reason, women do not think of consequences, but go, blindfold, headlong to their ruin. Are such women likely to be kept moral by any legal enactment? AS well try to deter or encourage item by the laws of gravitation. Prohibition never yet prevented crime; of what value is it, then, as punishment?
 ''And supposing that the woman is the innocent party. what right has the law to add injustice to injury, to con- demn her to spend her life in solitude, finding the bread and bearing the bur- dens some other would gladly find and bear for her? Could the law set good woman in position more beset With grievOus temptations? Alimony is never a sufficient right for wronged woman; the guilty husband may betake himself to foreign country or otherwise evade it, for a husband who has deserted 8 wife in person will easily desert her in purse. Most women would consider heartless, deliberate, continued de- sertion a far worse crime than one com mitted in moment of passion. Ard de- nying remarriage to deserter would not check desertion. 1t may be fairly assumed that man who would desert his wife would not hesitate to commit bigamy. Besides, if the prohibition to remarry be regarded as punitive, the unfaithful wife is not the sinner above all others. Women who are chaste be- yond doubt are often bad wives. Keep ing the seventh commandment intact, they yet ruin and disgrace their hus- bands irretrievably. They may be drunk ards, or brawlers. or thieves. They may be corrupters of their children. They make their homes hclls. Insanity is the only cause for divorce which should be coupled with prohibition to remarry. For what right have we to deny to the unfortunate, or even to the guilty, that opportunity for consolation or redemption which the continuance of their existence makes divinely-grant- ed right?"-Chicago Tribune.

How to Tell E!eaehea Blondes.

Bleached hair is brought to such an art now that it is almost impossible for the casual observer to tell the genuine from tho artificial blonde. But if in carefully-arranged head of hair as yell low as ripe wheat you detect one dark brown or black hair at the nape of the neck or near the ear, the story is told. Straws show which way the wind blows, and the single dark hair tells where the dye missed. The dark-haired woman who is determined to be a blonde must live the life of slave to this desire as hair grows at the rate of an inch a month. There is 9 shade of natural au- burn hair which is inclined to be strcaked and much lighter at the ends than at the roots. TLis kind of hair, now so fashionable, might be mistaken for the streaked and striped bleached blonde by an inexperienced eye; but if glossy, bright and healthful in tone, it is sure to be natural, no matter how varied are it's shades; while if 1t is dry and broken, 1t is safe to suspect the bleacherS art. A natural pale golden blonde has blonde eyelashes a!.d eye brows, and in real life black eyelashes never accompany golIen hair, unless it owes its hue to art, however much we may find this com bination in herOines of novelS.-Chicago Herald

Where All the Rags Go,

Housewives must often have wondered where all the rags go to after they pass into the wagon of any one of the sever- al hundred ragmen who pass through the alleys with their monotonous cries. These gatherers of old rags take them to warehouses where they are bought in bulk, and then assorted by girls accord ing to quality. There was time when most of the rags were sent to paper mills. Now very small proportion of rags are made into paper, straw and clay being the chief ingredients. Fine linen paper, so called, is made of rags. Nine ty per cent. of the rags collected, how ever, go into the manufacture of ''shod- dy," of which cheap ready-made cloth ing is manufactured. This stuff is now made up into the brightest and most at tractive patterns, and can only be told when new from wool by the expert. and by experience with the wearer. ''Shod- dy is king" say the wool men, and this accounts for the mercurial condition of the wool market.-St. Louis Globe Dem- Ocrat.

MR. LARKlNS JOKE. \
Eiark Twain and Bob Burdette Outdone by
 Modest Young Man.


 Q Modest Young Nan.
 s'I've got first-class joke for you," remarked Larkin, cheerfully, as he came and sat on the corner of the editors desk, knocking several manu- scripts into the waste basket.
 Have you?" asked the editor, in breathiess anxiety.
 'Yes, just thought of it as came in on the car, and as 1 know you are al- ways on the lookout for good things, I thought I'd come around and tell you be- fore I forgot it. I'm awfully busy this morning, too"
 Sorry" murmured the editor.
 ''Not at all! Don't mention it! The joke was suggested by my seeing man kick dog three or four blocks away. Don't know why he kicked him, of course. May be the dog snaried at him, as dogs will, you know. Fact is, there are too many dogs-about go per cent. too many, 1 should estimate. Now, 1 used to own dog back in the 70's that -'
 Excuse me, but you are forgetting your joke" put in the editor, apologeti- cally. Il don't want to lose it, you know"
 ''Of course you don't. You don't get joke like this every day. It's A No l, now. And I'm busy, so I won't keep you long. expect you are rather busy yourself?"
 ''Well, yes, 8 little," replied the editor, looking at the clock. ''Its To at twelve sharp2
 linen you won't be able to get my joke in this issue?"
 "Im afraid not; but it will keep until the next, won't it?"
 70 yes, I suppose so; but I'm sort O anxious to see it in print. That's why ran around here to tell you before 1 forgot it, notwithstanding I'm so busy l don't know what to do first when get to the store"
 But the joke" suggested the editor, with one anxious look at the clock.
 ''Yes, yes; well, this is it: When 8 man kicks dog he does it on purpose? Pretty good, heyr' and Larkin jumped off the desk and patted the editor be- tween the shoulders with force enough to disiocate a tooth.
 But don't see the ioke," gasped tho editor.
 Well, now, that's good! You'll laugh when it dawns on you. Kick dog on purpose. See? P-u-r-p, purp, o-s-e, us, purpose; see?"
 That is the correct way to spell the word, but l would not divide the sylla- bles in just that manner. P-u-r is the correct division"
 But that is where the joke comes in, P-u-r-p, dog; don't you see?"
 No, I don't. P-u-r-p doesn't spell dog"
 ''Of course not, but it means dog"
 The editor shook his head mournfully.
 Do you mean to say you have never heard dog called purp?"
 Never. When young, dog is soue- times called ga pup; but not purp; at least not by educated people,"
 "Well, must go now. for I am afraid I shall be late. I'll come in again when think t> something else real bright, which very often do."
 'I shall be much obliged.'
 ''Not at all. They come natural to me. Good morning!'
