Among the clubs that commend
themselves to women who must study
economy are those for amateur dress
making. Such a club was formed
last winter by number of young
wives who had become dissatisfied
with the high prices aud poor work
of their dre>smakers, saved many dol
lars and gave much pleasure to its menu
bers. Their work was confined at first
10 tea gowns and to cotton dresses for
summer wear. They met two or three
times week, and gave one another
the benefit of their taste and expert
ence over their work. One had
knowledge of fitting, and one good
eye for colors aud draping, while one
of the class was an artist in trim
ming, so that the dresses evolved were
more tasteful and more perfectly and
quickly made than if one woman had
toiled over them by herself. There
WAS also . friendly riyarx after a
while as TO the one who should pro-
duce the prettiest gown at the least
expense.

Every landowner with cedar among
his timber would do well to see that none
OF 1t is cut down 10 waste, for it is a
wood that is in great demand and the
price of which is likely to % up very
steadily. Florida has made millions Of
dollars out Of its cedar, and other States
can and will follow suit, for the number
OF pencils manufactured is getting
greater every year, and this is the only
kind Of wood that can be used with any
prospect Of success in the process. More
than half the wood cut for pencils Is
shipped TO Germany, where more than
hall the worlds supply is actually
turned out, and botn France and Eng
land also take large quantities. The
pencil manufacturing interest is the
easiest possible to control, there being
hess tnafs thirty pnanuiacturses in the
entire world, and, until recently, the
trust that had been formed worked
like charm. One of the members has
since broken away, and competition has
resulted In easier prices, but the out
put has increased n consequence Of the
removal of some of the restrictions on
production, and more cedar wood is be-
ing exported than ever.

rnE NATTER WITH ENGLISH WIVES.

THE MATTER WITH ENGLISH WIVES.
AT last il begins to be made plain
why American girls are at such a
premium over the water. Tue Lon
don Telegraph has been publishing a
symposium by hundred of writers con-
corning the English wife as compared
with the foreign. One says that the
real trouble with the English woman is
that she cannot make soup, or, at
least, gives her husband TOO little of
it. This writer does not want to be
in the soup, but to reverse conditions
and have the soup in him. Another
thinks that the English woman is not
on an intellectual equality with her
3hnsband, bnt he forgets to mention
hat he always reads The newspapers
while she does the homework.
Another says that the English wife
Is not as clever with her needle as
herman and Italian women, and re-
h,tes how he once saw an Italian
Woman pull hair from her head and
mend her husbands coat with it. A
wry great many other faults of Eng
Isl women are spread before the
nlblie, and it really seems hat The
English husband is sadly imposed
o. creature. But before one arrives
al decided conclusion on that point
,,n would be well to have another
symposium on English husbands BY
min wives. These wives have one
GOOD point, anyway-they are certainly
