EngIish Women in Politics.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. speaking,
the other day, of the wonderful ac-
tivities of titled English women, said:
"Some people seem like stocks and
stones, immovsble; but the world
moves, though they do not. 1t gave
me pleasure to see the interest taken
In politics by English ladies of the
highest social position. The Countess
of A berdeen said to me: Il am going
to speak at a political meeting in
Westminster tonight; would you like
to COP OF course, l said should. So
all elegant carriage, with two gorgeous
creatures in livery, came to my little
lodgings and took us TO the meeting.
1t was held in a dissenting chapel.
The building did not compare in com.
fort or convenience with this church.
Ii was crowded with workingmen-
not q woman among them-and, to
show their enthusiasm for Lady A b.
erdeen, they hoOted and made all
sorts of extraordinary, but friendly
noises, which they renewed at inter-
walls during her speech, by way Of ap.
pause. / have spoken all over the
United States, hut never 10 quite so
rough a crowd"

Next morning after eating break

marked:
"Betsy, Tm going q huntin' this

nor meddlin' in no ways"
Two hours later Mr.. Jenk's negro
boy arrived with couple of hound
pups.

the sense of humble hopelessness, nor
the less humble submission. Yet
there was some reliet in that her hus-
band had not sold the dog for money.

POrtierP

With the portieres beauty domin-
ates usefulness. though, of course,
draughts can be kept out when they
are drawn closely together, but as
drsped folds and graceful loopings
are more In vogue than the unbrOk en-
sweeping lines, art, rather than by.
giene, is master of this portion OF
household decoration at least. All
tawny shades are especially effective
in heavy drsperies, as these tones
seem to match end hold the sunshine
and give nothing of s0mberness to
the room. Tapestries always make
effective backgrounds for carved oak
furniture and polished floors, but
care should be taken less incongruous
effects be produced by the use OF
hangings not in harmony with the
surroundings. Bead portieres will be
greatly used this year for hall doors
and at the head of the stairs. and for
arches and alcoves. These are cheap
and are always graceful and in artis-
ticalIy blended colors.
1t is on the bodice that the dress
maker or tailor lavishes the greater
care. Sometimes three, or even four,
materials are combined Ill the same
waist. The two most fashionable
evening bcdIces are those called the
Josephine and the Eugene. The
plished fact. There are really two
seams, but they are on the shou ders
where they are covered by q slmu.
lated yoke. They HOOK beneath the
fullness of the front, where no one
would suspect them OF fastening. The
material is taken on the cross,
stretched over the back and under
the arms, and lightly plated in front
under yoke of silk or velvet.
The gathered. 'idaldi waist is an
old fashion revived. 1t is no longer
confined to simple materials, but is
made upof richest fabrics and is worn
tor "small at homes" or theatre
parties. A lovely one seen is of prune
cololed velvet. 1t is slightly gathered
at the back and front into belt of
Hersian gallOon, a pale pink ground
embroidered with gold and jewels.
The gslloon edge both sides of the
front of the waist, which does not
close at all, but falls apart to show
the full sOtt oest underneath, which
is OF peculiar shade of green crepe,
The full sleeves are gathered at the
waist into n full cuff OF the gslloon.
AS for the make of the skirts, Mrs.
Miller says, they are so sharply gored
that very little material is required.
They are very carefully fitted, and
nearly every one has some sort of foot
trimming. They come up over the
edge of the bodice in front, and, being
headed with braid or psssementerie
of some sort. it is almost impossible to
tell where the skirt ends or the bodice
begins. The apparent simplicity Of
these skirts is very delusive, no bod
ice requiring more care in fitting.

A unique way to decorate a ceiling
Is to cover with yellow Indian m At
ting, divided into squares by split
bamboo sticks, put on as gilt molding
Is put on over paper. Around the
room, close to the side walls, hang a
frieze of figured Indian silk, letting il
fall loose. Then treat the side walls
like the ceiling and finish with a
dado or flounce OF Indian or China
silk.
A pretty way of arranging drspery
over a bedstead is to have a ring fixed
to the ceiling and the material drawn
through it and allOweds to hang In
ample folds behind the bedstead and
at both sides. Few materials are
more suitable for this purpose than
reversible cretonnes. These are made
In sufficient variety of coloring to at
