heard of lately is that Of young wom-

and not for her figure, except in SO far
as by means of these she may the better
display pretty gown. 1t has been a
business occupying small number of
women in Paris regularly for some years
back to pose for sketch artists or before
the camera for the composition Of the
fashion plates sent out with the more
expensive French fashion magazines,
Nothing of the sort has been done in
New York until lately, American fash

odicals directly or topping out gowns

Latterly there has been a demand for
fashion pictures which looked lifelike
and not wooden, and the utmost diff
Guilty has been experienced in getting a
better class of art work in them. Women
with pretty faces are beginning to be
appealed to to lend their features and
their figures for the purpose, A dimpled
blond, whose husband is at the head of
a large publishing house, was in the very
act Of yielding to the charms of new tea
gown one day recently, when her hus-
band interfered, lest the magazine's
readers might recognize the model. The
professional fashion model will be an
institution shortly. The young girl
spoken of is already in the field. She
poses on a diyan as carefully as for an
academy picture to bring out her own
best points and those of an evening

A great many times have noticed the
large number of rainy day shoppers, and
wondered in an indolent way why they
couldn't put off their buying till tomor-
row or the next day, Often they are
we'll dressed in regulation rainy day cos
tune, but they never look entirely
happy.
One day l was talking with milliner,
who told me that many Of her best GUS
toners came to her on rainy days, hug
ging the delusion that there would be NO
one else around, and that they could
have almost all the time TO themselves.
1t has been said by dressmakers, too,
that many mistaken women sally down
and take them by storm on rainy days,
and they feel very much disappointed
when they find that their thought on the
matter was not unique, and that, In
fact, they miscalculated.
That accounts for the busy woman In
her trim shopping attire on rainy days.
1t also explains the look Of determines
ton adorning her face on her down
town journey, and the settled sorrow
that has crept over it before she reaches
her own home and talks to the tired,
draggled woman who looks at her from
the mirror, and whom she feels quite at
liberty to call names If she chooses,- 80

A suggestion has Just been made
which deserves sympathetic considera-
ton. On the Goth of next October fifty
years will have elapsed since the death
of Grace Darling, daughter of the Outer
Farne lighthouse keeper. 1t is not
necessary to recount the story Of her
heroic exploit on the occasion of the
wreck of the steamship Forfashire in
September, 1888, which resulted in the
raising of subscription of e7O0, and in
many offers being made to advance her
position in life. Grace Darling, how
ever, refused to leave her own people,
and four years later died of consumption
in her sea girt home. She is buried in
the churcEyard of scarborough, beneath
q tomb which has been raised 80 it can
be seen from the sea.
Every schoolgirl" ," writes Mr.. Robert
Burn, "has heard of the name of Grace
Darling, but her deed lies now go far
back in the past, that some day it may
be forgotten. | cannot help thinking
that as the fiftieth anniversary of her
death will be this year it would be fit
ting occasion to raise national memo
rial to her," We took occasion not very
long ago to call attention to the Somer-
setshire valballa initiated by r. A. King
lake, which has grown to such goodly
proportions that the yestibule of the
shire hall in Taunton is filed with stat
ues Of the illustrious dead.
1t seems to us that Mr.. Burns propo-
sal affords an excellent opportunity for
the starting Of q similar institution in
Northumberland. 1t would be difficult
to inaugurate Northumbrian valhalla
more ftly than by the erection Of a
statue to Grace Darling, the humble
heroine who honored all English wom-
anhood by her devoted courage. ge.-Lon-

A Turning Question.

1t may seem to be somewhat paradox
ical, but one Of the grave questions of
the day is, Win the coming man be a
woman?
The position of woman In the past is
q subject for men to avoid, but she is
ikelyto achieve position in the future
which win excite the jealousy and envy
Of every lord Of creation. We seem to
be on the verge of dangerous possibili-
ties in this direction. A city in the
west with q woman for Mayor; the
Minneapolis convention attended by
certain number of women as al
ternates; Wyoming with woman suf-
frage in full blossom; every state
aud national convention besieged to
place the woman suffrage plank in the
platforms and threatened with all sorts
Of direful consequences IL it Is not donei
Anna Dickinson declaring that il the
Democrats at Chicago win say one wee

higher education and making ready for
competition-these are awful facts which

Every girl and woman should each
month have regular allowance; to do
just as she pleases with 1t. Parents who
never refuse their daughters anything
they desire have no idea how cruel they
are when they make woman ask for
every cent she gets and tell what she is
going to buy with it, The lack Of a
regular allowance brushes the most gem
erous and the most natural instincts,
The girl who has no allowance misses
many pleasures in life, She never knows
what it is to save up, to deny herself
some things in order to buy some one a
gift. She has no idea of the excitement
arising from spending all her allowance
the first week and pulling along on noth-
ing the other three weeks. This is qui
the usual thing, especially when she
first has her allowance Philadelphia

at the cabin of a settler named Junken.
We sat in the shade by the cabin door

Now that women are taking more and
more to riding safety bicycles, the vexed
question of feminine cycling costume
becomes increasingly important. In
France they dress very much like the
men, that is to say in tunics and cloth
knickerbockers, or knee breeches, the
chief difference between a man and wo-
man a-wheel being in the rather longer
cut of the lady's tunic, In America the
dress is much the same as in Englar /,
although there also there has been deal
of discussion on the subject, A Cinc'l-
matt paper recently offered prize for
the most convenient and becoming lady
cyclists costume,
The costume which won the prize con-
sists of divided dress skirt supported
from the shoulders by suspenders; a
light silk blouse, held in position at the
waist by rubber band inserted in the
lower edge; a Windsor tie at the neck;
q jacket Of the same material as the
dress skirt, cloth or flannel, and suit
able material in black, gray, navy blue
or brown; a yachting cap and gauntlet
gloves, and for underwear "union

Girls Who WIN Not Marry.

An elderly woman of fashion said the
other day; II have counted sixty girls
who will never marry, They are in the
service now. They are at every ball,
every function--that is the new word,
They drive their own ponies, and at
other times it takes two men, two horses
and coach to pull them about. They
are pretty, they have all the attractions
Of youth, but they will never marry"
When asked why this calamity seemed
so inevitable, she replied; "Their fathers
are rich, but they will not cut up well
when they die. Old fashioned loyemak-
ing has gone out, Money seeks money,
It is the age of consolidation and cor
porate companies Beauty avails moth
ing but to attract attention.
"When an engagement is announced
you read that Mr., Martingale has $780,
600 of his own and will inherit quar-
ter of million from his uncle, and Miss
Beeswax has already inherited through
her grandmother, Mrs. Rosin, fortune
that renders her Independent of her
father. Men know to a dot that the
sixty girls have counted on my fingers
will not only be poor themselves, as
things go, but that they will have poor
sisters. One such fact injuries girls
charms; two kills them."-New York

TWO Pluckx School Teaeh ers.

Two southern women, the editors of
the Arkansas Woman's Chronicle, have
Just achieved a remarkable feat in local
politics. At the school election in Lit
tie Rock one ticket for school directors
bore the names of Edgerton and Fleteh-
er, the other those of Mitchell and
Thomas. The Woman's Chronicle ''split
the ticket" taking the best man from
each side, and came out for Edgerton
and Mitchell. Although it poured win
rain all election day, more than 500
votes were cast, as against 800 at the
lest election, and the split ticket advo-
Gated by The Woman's Chronicle was
elected.
A woman says in private letter,
"The Chronicle lifted the school election
above the plane Of politics, made its own
ticket and beat the town" It took cour-
age on the part of the editors of The
Chronicle to do this, as both these ladies
are teachers in the public schools, and
their effort, IL unsuccessful, would prob
ably have cost them their places. All
