Little maud Hood, of sydenham.

Maud Hood is only tiny mite of thir
teen, and therefore not capable of doing
anything on what the world would call
q great scale, but nevertheless her name
merits place in the large Book of
Golden Deeds" There are seven mother
less little ones in Maud's home in Lower
Sydenham, all young. Their father, a
working matchmaker, has to earn the
household bread, and one brother helps
in the process by acting as green gro
GERS erEand boy. Another is an invalid
confined to the bed, and the cares of the
household and the oversight of the
younger ones all fall upon Little Mother
Maud.
While she was attending to the invalid,
Arthur, four years old, severely scalded
himself by upsetting teapot at the
fireplace. Maud and the elder brother
got him into bed and dressed the wounds
with oil as best they could. The green
grocer's customers were waiting and
the errand lad had to go, leaving his
sister in sole charge She decided that
the burned child required better treat
ment than she could give, SO she marched
off to the Home for Sick Children to lay
the case before them. Yes, they would
take him in, but she must get letter of
admission. Wherea They gave her the
names of several subscribers. Off sine
went to canvass, and was happily sue
cessful How to get him to the home7
She borrowed perambulator, carefully
placed the injured child upon the cush-
ions and wheeled it herself to the insti-
tuition, where the invalid was at once
admitted. All this energy and devotion
were of no avail, for the burns were too
severe.-Pall Mall Gazette.

In Artistic Clothes.


Pronounced as is the artistic develop
ment in women's clothing that has been
observed within the past few years it
bids fair to reach greater heights this
winter than it ever has done. Style in
dividualized-color harmonious-mater-
ial carefully selected from among scores
of more conventional patterns. Such are
the component parts that go to make up
the sum total of what is known in these
modern times as good dressing.
As for the style, it may be taken from
quaint statuette of old Dresden-in
fact, these charming antique figures are
used oftener nowadays than anybody
suspects; or it may be copied with re-
vised details from the graceful sweep Of
some rich old gown, of which our fair
wearer has only caught a passing glimpse
in some famous picture gallery at which
she has been visitor. The portraits Of
Sir Joshua Reynolds furnish ample sug-
gestions for many costumes of the pres
emit season, and other equally famous
artists are studied freely with the sams
object.
The age is one of simplicity in dress
save in the matter of garnitures, and
these are always left to the fancy, means
or taste of the wearer-of graceful
sweeps and curves, plain outlines, effect
i've combinations, in short, Of general
picturesqueness, which must be seen to
be described, and yet which battles de-
scription because of its extreme origin
ality, and because no two costumes are
alike.--Jenness-Miller Quarterly.

TN. War ON Sweeping skirts.

The movement in Vienna toward pro-
hibiting the wearing in the street of
sweeping petticoats by women on the
part Of the city authorities, looks like a
move in the right direction. The un-
wholesomeness of the practice is $50 appar-
ent and the menace to health SO evident

cities to arrest every woman seen sweep
ing the streets with her skirts. But can
anything be more humiliating than to
contemplate the necessity for such action
against women?
There are many women. doubtless.
who do not realize the danger they incur
not only for themselves but for others,

necesntating circumstances. The short
straight petticoat is the perfection of an
outside skirt.
There should always be a large enough
body of respectable women everywhere
TO make the wearing Of a healthful, SEN
sible and tasteful costume common
enough to be inconspicuous. Women
have come to wear hats and bonnets Of
thousand styles and sizes, and there il

An Attractive Girl preache er.

A pretty, rosy checked girl, of barely
fifteen years, preached from the pulpit
of the Central Gospel mission Sum
day evening. Her name is Fannie Ed
wards, and she lives with her parents at
1910 Fifteenth street. It was the sec
ond time she had appeared before the
public in this city, and large audience
greeted her. Like all other preachers
little Miss Fannie selects her text, reads
chapter from the Scriptures, and with
themost pleasing self possession she con-
ducts the entire service, sermon and all.
The girl was converted at the Central
mission. Six months ago she began to
feel that she had been called to preach
the gospel and save sinners. Without
any preparation she started out evangel-
izing in the mountains of western Vir-
ginia and east Tennessee Great crowds
were attracted by the youthful girl
preacher, many people riding twenty or
thirty miles on horseback to hear her.
Recently she returned from the trip, on
which she was accompanied by her
mother. One week ago she preached at
the mission, and Evangelist Munnell was
SO well pleased that he invited her to
preach again.
The child stepped into the pulpit few
minutes before o'clock and exhorted
for half an hour, selecting as her text
Luke xiv, 16. In appearance she is very
striking, having full, round face, about
which her pretty golden hair hangs
loosely. louisville Courier-J Journal

A Chance for Young Women Librettists.
Anxious to develop creative, no less
than executive, talent in America, Mrs
Thurber offers prizes for the best grand
or comic opera, for the best librettos,
for the best symphony, oratorio, suite
or cantata and piano or violin concerto.
These prizes are the first ever offered In
this country for such work. It is sug-
gestive that they owe their inspiration
to a woman.
After being passed upon by special
jury of five competent judges, the sue
cessful works will be produced by artists
of the National Conservatory Of Music,
and after three public performances win
