of its rules should be that no member
should be eligible who could not at any
time out of doors show three pockets

Following this should come the abolition
of the monstrosity known as the ladies'

her pocket or burdens her hands, and
has no cause for being whatsoever.
A tiny pouch that will fit in tiny

will carry bills folded, if she must carry
them, which in these days of G. o. d.
packages is really not necessary, and that

FACE-IRONING

new wordl You haven't heard of it before.
1t designates the latest mode OF beautifying the
skin. Beaches have been the rage, but they
ar going out. The process is too severe. True,
the acid eats off the rougher outer cuticle, and
for a short while exposes the more delicate skin
beneath, but it in turn becomes harsh, and you
are in worse fix than before, unless more
bleaching acid IL used, and to continue it in
definitely would destroy the finest skin in the
world. Thus face bleaches are waning, and in
five years more will b. hardly known.

ing vegetable constituents that sc the reverse
from acids, in that they are instantaneous and

upon the face in semi-liquid form, drying in
about twenty minutes. The drying process
causes them to absorb blackheads, Precipitation

system of gentle face massage I'll en- removes

Imnroved Ventilation.

An improved system of ventilation has
been introduced in the great hall of the
new Sorbonne in Paris, the principle re-
sorted to being that of maintaining the
walls at higher temperature than that
of the air which they inclose. In order
to accomplish this, mixing chamber is
located beneath the auditorium, and hot
and cold air are mixed to the tempera-
ture desired; the air is forced into the
auditorium through a great number of
small holes in the floor and in front of
the seats, the openings being covered by
wire netting. Before the entrance of
an audience the walls are thoroughly
warmed by forcing air heated to 200
degs. into conduit which delivers the
air into space behind the moulding and
close to the floor. The wall is thus
heated to temperature of 100 degs.-a
temperature which, by radiation, will
keep the audience comfortable-at the
same time ventilating the hall with air
at 60 degs., derived from the mixing
chamber. All downward cold drafts are
thus prevented, the currents Of air all
being upward, owing to the heated sur
face.-New York Sun.

Adieu. Long skirts.

So the girls are to be relieved of the
torture Of trained skirts this fall? That
is the edict of fashion, and it is fortu-
nate thing that it has gone forth. Not
that it could have failed to do so very
well. How could woman have gone
stopping through the snow with half a
yard of dress to hold in her left hand
with all the weight of furs and heavy
clothing to carry as well? The idea
would be preposterous. True, a woman
is very graceful while holding her skirt
daintily out of the mire, but it is posi-
BILE to pay too dearly even for the pleas
ure of looking fascinating, and that is
what the American women think.
The fact is that the despot that rules
feminine fashion could not hope to keep
up a style that was nothing less than
torture through the winter. If fashion
had said that women must continue to
hold up train, the women would have
rebelled. They are long suffering, but
it is possible to go a little too far, and
the time has arrived when the women
want chance to hold something else on
the street besides large handful of
skirt.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

Trousseaus for Hire.

Here is q little story which should
gladden. the heart of paterfamilias and
convey valuable hint to those about to

promised his niece wedding dress when
ever she should stand in need of that
commodity. The auspicious day on
which such an article would be neces-
sary hove in sight, and the uncle, true
to his pledge, presented the young lady
with check for fifty pounds with which
to make herself beautiful at the impor-
tant event. The young lady, wisely re-
solving to have competent advice on so
momentous subject, conferred with a
friend who had some six months previous
herself become an English wife. can

"You can have the whole affair-veil,

A long pause ensued. The maiden was
considering the offer. Presently she
said: 'I1l tell you what I'll do. don't
believe I'll buy wedding dress at all
I'll hire yours for the occasion just as
people hire their flowers for the same
ceremonies. How much will you take

"It's bargain. What a capital idea!

And this thrifty young damsel became
an English wife in an exquisite costume,
which was glowingly described in all
the ladies' and fashion papers, but for
the use of which she paid only two
pounds sterling. And already from
this small beginning there is springing
up an industry which consists in the ap-
p1ication of the ''hire SYSTEM to we'd

Babies and Their clothes.

Within the last few years babies have
had vogue they have not enjoyed in a
number of years. The condescension Of
Lady Alexandria Duff, the Prince of
Wales grandchild, gave the movement
its first prominence, but it was the baby
of the Duchess of Portland that first
showed what an ornamental feature it
could be in well equipped household,
and is turned OIL, as one might say, at
the most effective moment in the draw
ing room, as are the electric lights
On this side of the water babies have
been no less prominent novelty, and
conspicuously so in the persons of little
Miss Cleveland and the babies Oelrichs,
Astor and Hamersley. AS persons of
fashion, once more their clothes have
new consequence. This does not take
the direction of elaboration, but of
daintiness. The sewing machine, that
has almost overcome the needle, has
never taken its place in making baby
clothes. 1t is their distinction to be
made by hand. Here at least senti-
ment has kept its place in the teeth of
haste. If the mother no longer puts
her own hopes and visions into the
clothes of her baby, she keeps the illu-
sion of having done SO by having her
baby clothes made by hand. The max
ing of baby wardrobes has in fact largely
fallen into the hands of women IN their
own homes. There are women reduced
to the necessity of earning money, but
who, unframed in any direction, have
revived the fine handiwork and graceful
stitches they learned in making the
clothes of their own babies.-New York

Pupils of Julien.

Mile. Breslau, who was distinguished
in Juliens studio as the successful rival
of Marie Bashkirtseff, and who, without
effort, succeeded in arousing the jeal-
ousy of the self satisfied little Russian,
is one of the greatest portrait painters
in France. French critics treat her
work with as much seriousness and con-
sideration as though she were really a
man. Even the radiant beauty of the
Bashkirtseff and the extreme plainness
of Mile. Breslau could not blind the
master, Julien, to the fact that the lat
ter was the most able and advanced of
his woman pupils.
In this same class, too, was the Polish
princess, Terka Jabloneska. who has
since distinguished herself by trans
forming the greatest of living actresses
into a grandmother. This honor, by the
way, Bernhardt accepts very gracefully,
and rides about the streets of Paris with
her little grandson on her knee, appar-
emily more proud Of her new distinction

The board of lady managers of the
Worlds Columbian commission has just
awarded the prize for the best design
for a national badge to be worn by the
members of the board at the Worlds
fair in Chicago. The competition was
open to women only, and PAT designs
were submitted. At meeting of the
commission held last July Mrs. Potter
Palmer, the president of the ladies'
board, appointed the following commit
tee to select the badge:
Mrs. Ralph Trautman, of New York,
chairman; Mrs. Martha B. Stevens, of
Hoboken; Mrs. Ellen M. Chandler, of
Pomfret, VT; Mrs. Francis E. Hale, of
Cheyenne, wy; Mrs. Eva Douglass
Wise, of Virginia; Mrs. Melissa D. Oh
ney, of Olympia, Wash. Mrs. j. s. R.
Thomson, of Spartanburg, S. c., and
Mrs. M. N. Stevens, of Portland, Me.
The chairman issued a circular, which
she had published in newspapers all over
the country, calling upon women to
compete for the design, and in response
to this call numerous artistic drawings
were received. Out of the PAT designs
submitted ten were finally selected by
the committee, and these were submit
ted to Augustus st. Gaudens for his
Judgment. He selected the design of
Miss Martha D. Bassey, of $40 East
Eighty sixth street, New York, and she
accordingly received the fifty dollars
awarded
Miss Bassey was born in this city and
was graduated from Grammar school
No. 80 in 1877. She afterward studied
in the Cooper institute for twoyears and
was then employed by Tiffany & Co. in
the designing department. She is the
only woman in the department. Both
Mr.. st. Gaudens and the superintendent
of the designing department of Tiffany
& Co. were very much gratifed at Miss
Bassey's success.
The badge is in the form of an indented
square, with globe in the center, and
above raised representation of Colum-
bus caravel. Above and connected with
it by small chains are three bars bearing
the name and title of each commissioner
and her state. The badges will be made
of either gold or silver, and the words
on the bars will be in red, white and
blue enamel. Around the edge of the
medal will be the words, "Board Of Lady
Managers of the Worlds Colombian
Commission, created by act of Congress
of the United States of America and or
ganized $780," Below is the motto,
."Juncti Valemus."
Miss Bassey has been commissioned
by the state board to make the design
for their official seal. The design Of
Miss Sarah Winthrop Smith, of Seymour,
Conn, received the honorable mention
Of the commission.

Made Him Pay.

August Strindberg, the Danish poet,
is famous for his hatred of women. This
aversion seems to be uncomfortable at
times, and often leads the author into
difficulty. Not long ago he happened to
meet lady at the house of friend, and
taking hold of her threw her from the
veranda. The poor woman, who was
injured, brought suit against the ungal-
liant writer. He was condemned to pay
the plaintiff 115 gulden, with 200 gulden
as costs of the proceedings. The case
has caused much talk in Germany
