Among the deaconesSes recently con
secrated by Bishop Potter was Miss
Newell, a lawyer in regular practice II
New York with a large and remunera
/ tive business. For several years Miss
/ Newell was employed in the Patent o.
/ fee 10 Washington, where she wa9 nrSt
attracted by the intricacy Of tn Ia" as
applied to patent cases. later she
drew large salary in Ne" YORK from
/ Arm that made paterl Jaw speciality.
| Having Tins mastSed the patent law,
sbe was admitted to practice in the
TTnita6 safes courts, and was frequent
" ccusuted by young patent lawyers
1lo had heard of X. Newell without
moving that the K. stood for Kate.
Usually, after preparing her brief, she
employed male counsel to appear for
her in the courts, but not infrequenty
the Judge, tired of the argument Of the
dull counsel, requested her to appear
and enlighten the Court, which she did
ia Well-chosen and eloquent language,
supported by reference TO appropriate
legal authorities.
Edward E. Hale supports the idea Of
Miss Willisrd's nomination OF Jean In
gelow for poet laureate. He says in
the Boston Commonwealth: "a Queen
should have 3 woman for laureate. Vic
toria is TO look among the women Of
England to know who has written or
who can write such poems as shall honor
q reign, now more than half a century
long, which has literature Of its own
distinctive history. This woman is
Jean Ingelow."
Wimodaughsis, the woman's club Of
Washington, whose mysterious name
translates readily enough into wives,
mothers, daughters, and sisters, had
telegraph wires run into the club house
on election night to secure full and i'm
mediate election returns.
Women inventors by no means con-
fine themselves to those departments
where they might be supposed to pos
sess special experience. Patents have
been granted to women for preventing
sparks from locomotives, for sweeping
the streets, for new form OF life raft,
for textile manufacturers, electrical ap-
planes, and in London . woman has
patented a machine for making watch
screws that is provided with a thread
so delicate as to be almost invisible,
and so perfect as TO cut threads on a
human hair,
Here is a question for the leIsurely
women who play solitaire and have time
to 20 to card parties Of women and hem
their own rufiles by hand, to study:
Why is It when a man considers him
self possessed OF more than ordinary
ability that he lets his hair grow long,
while q woman who thinks the same Of
herself, and wants TO be the refofmer
of her kind, not infrequently cuts her
hair short?
Women have met with another dis
coursging defeat In politics. The
Woman Suffrage bill, which passed the
Vermont House OF ReprepresentStives
so triumphantly, has been defeated In
the Senate, But In New Zealand the
long strife has ended, and woman has
come of victor. even to the point OF
sending her ballot by post. 1t is an in
terssting fact that nearly all the coun-
tries which grant full suffrage to
women are Islands.

very charming young woman. She
married the apostle OF artistic disorder
shortly after his return from his first
visit to America. She was Miss Lloyd,
and her family ranks high socially In
the British capital.
The first appearance Of Mrs. Wilde
10 society was a marked success; her
youth, her beauty, her freedom from
affectation, her lovely aesthetic gowns,
were the talk of the town. Few per-
sons knew how bashful this lovely
young girl really was, what an effort
she had to make before she entered q
drawing room.
In her own house, on her reception
days. she was painfully bashful at
first. And yet she always appeared
perfect mistress of herself and of the
occasion, and the very bashfulness
from which she suffered lent q charm to
her manner.

Sitting very close to the counter,
there is but little fear Of detection, es-
pecially since she usually manages to
distract the attention OF the salesman.
Then she goes to another part OF the
store and plies her trade over again.
The store detective divides his time
equally between watching the lady's
hands and her walk. She wob bles when
she walks. This is the way the shop
litter is usual detected.
After she has loaded down her bag
with silks and small articles the stuff is
likely nine times out of ten to ''cant''

hang lopsided and reacting upon her
walk In such a fashion as to make her

She steers left footed or right footed.
That is the signal for the detective,

woman and in demandingwhen he stops
her that she submit to examination.
OF course she always protests that

Half an Hour.
These are the days when chapped
hands, rough faces and cracked lips
actually cry out for treatment such as
will protect them from the eagerness OF
the nipping winds and the blasts OF
driving sleet and storm which autumn
and winter are sure to bring.
Nothing is as good, after all, as the
zood old remedy which our grand
mother used. In those days It was
called mutton tallow, and was served in
a primitive, unscented state, which the
luxury-loving women Of this generation
could not endure. But now, under the

the butchers, and II you tell him what

white tallow, which will be exactly
what you want.

into a saucepan without any water.
Set the saucepSn 10 jar OF boiling
water, and let all remain until the fat is
thoroughly tried" out Of the tallow.
Strain through q hne sieve and, while
still warm, stir in a teaspoonful OF the
essence Of camphor in the proportion OF
one teaspoonful Of camphor to every cup
OF the tallow. Next, tablespoonful or
your favOrite perfume, and stir until all
is q understanding liquid.

remedies in the world for skin that gets

A pretty little custom which grand
mother had, and which may be daintily
initiated, was the use Of empty egg
shells for the reception Of the cold
cream.
To prepare the shells make a small
opening in one end OF an egg and pour
out the contents. While the shell is
still moist pour In the camphorated
cream and set away TO harden. The
egR-shells may be tied with ribbons and
hung by the side Of the toilet table,

THE PocKETBooK TRICK.
There is little game that the store
detectives will be looking out Tor these
days, known professionally among
thieves as nlpping pocketbooks-and 3
very clever thing is is, too. In some re-
spects 1t is better than shopllfting. 1t
is easier to work, the profits are usu-
ally large, and. all in all, 1t IS gooo
game to try.
a woman goes into big bazaar and
begins Pricing articles. She lays her
purse down on the counter. Thousands
and thousands of women do this. 1t IS
very careless, but there is no remedy
for it; it is one of the peculiarities OF the
shopper, this laying down OF pocket
books.
The woman next to the owner OF the
purse is thief.
Gas soon as the faal owners head Is
turned MP, anu 1no POShoVooOn -
gone! The other woman-the thief, the
one on the "make"-simply picks up tho
pocketbook and walks off. Thers IS not
one chance In dozen that she Will be
caught. The CROWDS IN the big stores
are yery.Isrge. A step or two and she
is lostGo view. Then the other woman
tr41ls around.
n"Where is my purseP" she says.
Not knowing exactly where she
placed it-her mind Is distracted by the
show of pretty things on the counters
and on the shelves-she is undecided
for q moment or TIVE. She fumbles
through her pockets, in her wrap, In her
skirt She, good, honest soul, never
dreams that she mas been robbed. Then
she looks under the heaps Of articles
jumbled together on Il g COUNTERS near
where she was standing. Or, perhaps,
she has taken o step or two, and really
doesn't recall where she placed the
book, when 1t finally dawns on her that
she did put 1t on the counter.
The search lasts several minutes.
In the meantime the thief has es-
capped.
