pared for the feminine customers Is a
new veil that is supposed to play a
double part-enhance the beauty of the
wearer and half conceal her identity.
The latter it hardly does; the former
effect it certainly will have when put
on, as it should be, with the thickest
part coming well below the eyes, This
far it is only shown in black, and has
the upper portion thicker and of diff
ferent net to the under part, the upper
piece ending in woven scallops or a
straighter edge. 1t recalls rather the
effect of mask, though it is of course
perfectly transparent. AS any becom-
ing novelty is sure to be a success, the
devotees of Dame Fashion will probably
see that this little veil is not neglected.

The American Woman in Paris.


The American woman is evidently
destined to play an important part in
the higher social life of France and
Italy. The fact has been forced into
notice by the marriage of Miss Matte
Mitchell to the Due de la Rochefoucald
AS | look around I see nothing but
American wives, although they assim-

SO good that forget the land of their
birth. Nine. Ribot and a dozen others
in high political circles are thorough
Americans, and at charming party
given the other night by the Marchioness
of Anglesey-nee Miss King, of Georgia
there was nothing but transatlantic
married beauties full of life and refine
ment. The Quirinal court is just as
American, and even the patrician Colon
mas have one American princess in the
person of Mrs. Mackay's daughter in
their illustrious family.
It would be invidi0us to make COM
parisons in this connection, but cannot
help repeating what an American diplo-
natist said yesterday: THE fact" he
remarked, sis that the American girl
can live in fiat and takes to hotel life;
the English girl is too long falling in,
and although her body training is ele-
giant enough, she has not the cunning
superficial attributes in the way of dress
that my fellow countrywomen have."-

Velvet and Ribbon Sashes.

The long ribbon sashes reaching to the
edge of the gown continue in vogue, not
only for evening, but for street dresses.
Sometimes the ribbons simply start from
the shoulders, and fall almost to the
edge of the gown; again, they are
brought front, cross over the corsage,
come around under the arms high up to
the center of the back, where they are
arranged in small bows, while the long
ends reach quite to the edge of the skirt.
By the by, to be effective, these decora-
tions should always be of velvet ribbon.

for Sorosis was conducted with great
harmony and dignity behind closed
doors in the Sherry ballroom Monday
afternoon. There was q futter in the
dovecote when the curious scribe defied
the statute and looked in for moment
to see how women vote when they have
a chance. And this is the way it is
done: There is before the election a
caucus, which the women call bust
ness meeting, when nominating COM
mittee is appointed to take charge of
the election. The chairman of this com
mittee sends out to each member of the
club blanks bearing the list of officers
to be chosen, and the member fills them
out with the names of her candidates
and sends them in unsigned. Two can
didates for each Office receiving the most
support are nominated and the voting
is done by ballot in the regular way,
only that tickets are not printed and
each officer is voted for separately.
This year, for the first time in the his
tory of the club, there was only one can
didate for the presidency, Mrs. Jennie
NJ. Lozier, who was elected by unani-
nous vote. Mrs. A. M. Palmer was Sc
lected in the same way as chairman of
the committee on philanthropy, no op-
posing candidate being nominated and
the vote being unanimous. The other
officers appearing in the returns as sue
cessful candidates are vice presidents,
Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer, Ruth A. De La
mater and Rebecca A. Morse; chairman
and members of the executive commit
tee, Mrs. d. S. Denison E. Louise Dem

Women Editors,

Women editors are on the increase in
the United States. There are many well
known weekly papers edited wholly or
partly by women. And in addition to
these old ones there are several new lit
erary and psychological newspapers
which have lately been started. The
psychist is edited by Emma j. Nicker-
son, and Poet Lore, which is devoted to
the study of Shakespeare and Brown

custom which permits stupid man to

4 Woman for President

John Hooker, of Hartford, suggests
that as we have had twentythree men
presidents already, it is fitting that a
woman should now be called to the
place. He names Mary A. Livermore
as desirable candidate, and says he is
confident that she would govern the
country as well as George Washington
ever did or any other man.-Exchange

Dress Reform.

However much intelligent women
may yield to the tyranny of fashion,
they recognize the fact that comfort
and health are the last things with
which that tickle goddess concerns her
self. Indeed, they know, and long have
known, that the modern dress of their
sex is positively injurious in both these
respects.
1t is pitiable that this should be so at
the height of modern civilization,
Christian enlightenment and physiologi-
cal knowledge, when nearly 5000 years
ago the women of Greece furnished the
world with the highest ideal of the
female form, clad in robes that gave
freedom to every limb and the fullest
play to every internal organ.

ANY Girl who Can Talk May Sing.

A fine example of bright, Independent
young American womanhood is Kath-
arine w. Evans, Rochester girl, who.
after a six years sojourn IN Europe,
where she devoted herself to studying
what is best in French, German and
Italian methods of teaching vocal music,
has returned to her native country and
taken position in one of the leading
conservatories. According to Miss Ev-
ans statement, any one who can talk
can sing, and all that is necessary is

Mackenzie, that there is no reason why
a child of six or seven years should not

Steaming Babies.

Within the past few months men,
braneOus Group has been unusually prev
alent among small children throughout
the city, and the children's wards in the
numerous hospitals have been crowded
with the little sufferers from this
scourge. At the Children's hospital
where they have had large number of
cases, a new form of treatment is used
which has proved successful in AZ per
cent. of the cases, an extremely large
proportion.
At this Institution, as soon as the chill
dren are found to be suffering from the
complaint, they are placed ON a cot,
from the four corners of which poles ex-
tend upward several feet They are
Joined at the top by strips, and blankets
are then thrown over the whole, COM
pletely inclosing the patient. A small
kerosene stove, on which is large ket-
tie, stands ON the floor at the foot of the
bed. The kettle is filled with a mixture
of gum camphor, oil of turpentine and
water.
This is brought to boil, and tube
leading from the kettle goes under the
blankets and carries the steam inside,
where it condenses on the blankets in
great drops, the moisture and the fumes
of the drugs enabling the patient to
breathe.
When the case is extremely bad an
other instrument is used consisting of
small spirit lamp over which is small
vessel that acts as boiler. On the side
is glass bulb filed with bicarbonate of
soda, glycerin and water. A glass tube
extends into the bed, and is placed at
the patients mouth. The heat from the
lamp causes the steam from the liquid
in the tube to pass into the boiler and
then through the second tube to the
patients mouth. h.-Philadelphi Record.

These bigoted Republicans, an austere
and iron-eyed opposition, insist that the

A LABORER ON THE CANAL.

SEATTLE, Sept. TO- 1892
To THE EDITOR: Kindly permit me to express
my opinion of the Lake Washington ship canal
from a workingman's standpoint Having been
q resident of this state since its birth, also
resident of the territory of Washington for a
number OF years, and close observer OF the
progress made In that time, and believing as
do that my success and tho happiness and pros
perity of my family depend entirely upon its
future DEVELOPMENT, cannot permit this op-
pOrtunity to pass without giving expression to
my views upon SO important question.
Some of my friends have been induced
through the agency OF . firm OF political
tricksters to LOOK upon this great project a. of
local benefit only. They forget, am sorry to
say, in their blind prejudice, that the result of
the building of the canal will not only cheapen
transportation but will beyond a doubt result
in securing manufacturers to locate all along
its banks. have at this time In my minds eye
the shipment of our grain to market at a re.
ducton of at least Is to 50 cents per ton and the
same applies to coal, iron and brick as well as
to many other articles which will GER
tainly be manufactured along the line
of the canal or within reas-
sonabe transporting distance. 1t ever has
been the effort of organized labor to aid as far AZ
possible the building up of our present indus.

ment of new ones. / am positive We will never
desist until a canal has been built connecting
Lake Washington with Elliott bay, so that we
may anchor some of the very largest ships afioat,

Maine holds today her biennial election
for governor, minor state officers, and con-
gressmen. Tom Reeds majority for con-
gress is estimated at $500, which is smaller
than his majority in 1890, when fully 900
Democrats stayed at home. Congressman
.Boutelle expects 5000 majority over both
his competitors; there are two Democrats
running against him in his district. For
the Republican state ticket a majority of
1900 is expected.
Mr.. Blaine has made no speeches in the
campaign, not because of his health,
which his doctor announces is now fully
restored, but because of his recent bereave-
ment suffered by the death of Emmons
Blaine, an affection that has left Mr..
Blaine in no mood for campaign speaking
and the publicity it involves.
The campaign in Maine, unlike that in
Vermont, has been marked by vigor and
esrnestness on both sides. All the ques-
tons of the day have been vigorously dis
cussed by Gen. Cleaves, the Republic
can candidate for governor, by Congress
men Boutelle, Dingley, Milliken and ex-
Speaker Reed; by Gov. Mckinley, Gen.
Grosvenor, Gen. Fairchild, of Wisconsin,
and others. Meetings have been held ex-
clusively devoted to explaining the Aus
tralian ballot law and the result is that the
people of Maine will go to the polls today
thoroughly informed on all the questions
of the day.
The tariff plank in the Democratic
platform. which denounces all forms of
protection and is substantially for actual
free trade, has hurt the Democrats in
Maine severely, and their ablest campaign
speakers have confessed it by seeking to
avoid the force Of the present platform
and to insist upon the platforms of 1884
and 1855 as representing their ideas of
today.

be observed as King County day at the

people of Seattle and King county gen.

day. Not Tacoma alone, but all Western
Washington, is interested in the success
of the exposition, and it is but right and
fitting that the people of Seattle should
evince their interest in the enterprise by
their presence. Arrangements will doubt
less be made for cheap excursion rates
between Seattle and Tacoma on the day
mentioned, and no one who can afford
the time should fail to pay visit to our
sister city on that day.
