Getting Eeady for Christmas.

A dear little woman who generally

lovely and all that, but then they are
not the gifts one would choose if per-
mitted to buy them ones self. People

but they don't know unless you tell
them. Now have list made out on a

one who is anxious to give me present
can look it over and see what really
would appreciate. If get duplicates l

of dozens of sachets and other silly
trifles that cost exactly as much as
something l really want, and am in
hopes in this way to remedy matters so
that general satisfaction will reign all

bicycling for Girls.

DR.. Richardson in Young Woman
speaks highly of cycling for girls, and
adds: 81 have no hesitation in saying
that the young woman who is about to
learn the art of cycling will do best by
choosing the bicycle from the first.
Women sit more gracefully on the BIZ
cycle than on the tricycle.; they work at
less labor, and, all things considered,
they work at less risk"
He remarks that women are hampered
by their dress in this exercise, but he
does not make SO strong a point of this
as he might fairly do. The ordinary
female skirt is quite unsuited for BIZ
cycling, though it may pass on the tri-
cycle.
If costume like that in which Herr
Stempel has induced many ladies of So
cial position, pupils of his gymnasium,
to give public displays were introduced
by the women members of some good
cycling club for wear in that exercise, it
would be perceived to be so superior in
point of modesty as well as of grace and
safety, and to attract so little notice aft
er being once seen, that it would be
quickly adopted generally.

Some progressive individual, with a
taste for the odd, has brought forth that
homely article, the scissors, from its
limited sphere of household usefulness
and suggested it as an aristocratic adorn-
ment. Fashion, represented of course in
the person of many acute jewellers, adopt
ed the idea, and thereupon began to af-
feet gold and silver scissors. But as
jewellers have born aversion accord
ing to appearances) for bit of gold, no
matter what the shape is, without its
depths being pierced by some gem, the
plain gold scissors ornament was not suf-
fered to retain its plainness long. In the
sides of each handle have been intro
duced such pleasing and costly stones as
diamonds, rubies, moonstones and opals.
The blade is unlike that of the COM
mon pair of scissors. 1t is simply made
after the straight sword model and is
sharp pointed and straight. The aspect
of the whole is dazzling-so much so, in
fact, as to move the prudish creature to
say, Dear me, what an awfully dear
hairpin she does use" But this self same
''she" is thereby rolling high ON the un-
certain waves Of fashion.-Jewelers Re

The Women of Japan.

Women-that is, young women-are
deteriorating in Japan. They are being
westernized. 1t is asserted that, on the
plea of tediousness and artifciality, the
usages of female life and department
have one aftT another been dispensed
with, and the modern girl, in her at
tempts to initiate foreign manners, has
almost transformed herself into man.
The abuse referred to has reached its
climax in the case of the girls who have
been trained in the Toxic female schools
Practlces hitherto unknown in Japan
have become fashionable among them.
10 note few-there are girls of good
families living alone in lodging houses;
others walk unattended in the streets
after dark, and groups of five or six
school pupils are to be seen drinking
sake or playing cards together at tea
houses. The native journal asks what
kind of mothers such girls are likely to
make.-Tokio Letter.

Why not woman laureate to wom-
an sovereign? There is world of fit
ness in the combination of ideas. Still
it is not probable that the laureate's
crown will ever grace the brow Of a
woman. When Wordsworth died a
suggestion arose that the supreme honor
conferred by the state upon its sweetest
singer should be bestowed on Mrs.
Browning, then in the meridian of her
powers. The innovation was then not
deemed admissible, though Mrs. Brown
ing's genius was appreciated and hon.
ored, and among her successors none
has received the gift of song with the
sweetness and breadth that character
lied her power.
Frances Willard suggests Jean Inge-
low as worthy the honor and adds, with

Antique, but Not Desirable.

When travelling in Mesopotamia
Nine. Dieulafoy had an amusing ad-
venture on one of the Tigris river boats.
The forward part of the boat was
crowded with pilgrims. In picking her
way through their luggage she noticed
a beautiful rug. 1t was old, but the
tints were exquisite and the design was
beautiful.
She waited until the proprietor of it
had finished his prayers, and then asked
him its price. His honesty, she con-
cluded, was not what might have been
expected from his apparent piety. She
declined to pay the exorbitant price
which he asked. Presently there was a
knock at her stateroom door, and a pill
grim appeared with a package carefully
wrapped up under his arm.
81 have bargain to offer you," he
said impressively, and he unrolled his
bundle.
"Do you expect me to buy those?"
asked Nine. Dieulafoy.
"Why not, madame? Did you not just
now wish to buy Of my friend Taghui
his prayer rug? That is faded and old,
to be sure. But then these are more
ancient, much more ancient, assure
you," replied the pilgrim.
He was much disappointed when the
lady said that she did not care for his
merchandise, although it was undeni-
ably old, and in that country rare. 1t
was a badly worn pair of European
shoes.-Youth's Companion.

The efforts of a number of prominent
lady riders to organize club in this
city will likely meet with success.
There are at present over 500 women in
New York who ride bicycles, and the
want of clubhouse has been sadly felt
during the past year. Mrs. M. L. Peck,
who had charge of the ladies' division
in the recent wheelmens parade, has
been chosen president of the new club,
and she is confident of making a success
of the new venture.
Mrs. Peck proposes to secure quarters
convenient to Central park. 1t is in
tended that weekly runs to surrounding
points shall be held each week, if the
weather permits, and during the winter
months to hold several entertainments.
Men will be admitted to membership in

.Happy French Children,

OF all the children on the face of the
earth the French children have the
greatest right to be thankful, if there is
any virtue in old proverbs, or if proverbs
are ever followed. There is an old
French adage which says childhood
should be made the holiday of life. And
it enjoins parents, under penalty of mis-
fortune, to make it such. "No cares,
no fears, no tumult, no strife merri-
ment," is the French rule for childhood.

Gymnastics In women's Colleges.

OF the modern American college girl
in Turkish trousers who crosses swords
with fencing master, vaults bars,
climbs ropes, plays ball, rows, swims
and decks her boudoir with the trophies
of gymnasium tournaments writer
says:
Calisthenics and gymnastics in de-
sultory way have always been exercised
in girls schools, but physical training
as now understood was unknown to all
American educational institutions until
the past three years. Vassar in its ear
liest days had riding school and two
foreign masters of horsemanship. To its
alumni association Vassar is indebted
for its present gymnasium. Wellesley
needs separate gymnasium building,
but one of its spacious halls is replete
with the paraphernalia demanded by the
Sargent system. The Smith institution
has commodious structure. Before
equipping it President Seelye visited the
gymnasia of Europe. The gymnasium
at Bryn Mawr is a beautiful structure,
while outside Harvard college perhaps
no gymnasium surpasses that at the
Womens college in Baltimore. 1t is
equipped with Zander machines at a
cost of $4,000. The Swedish system is
followed, and DIR. Mary Hall, the most
expert woman expounder of Ling, is the
instructor. assisted by two Swedish
women, graduates of the royal schools
of Stockholm.
The students of Harvard annex avail
themselves of DR.. Sargent's gymnasium
at Cambridge. Most of these gymnasia
have race tracks and swimming tanks.
The efficacy of the German, Swedish
and American Or. Sargent's) methods
is now the bone of contention among
physical trainers. The colleges are
divided in their allegiance. DIR. Sar-
gents system, varied by the Swedish,
prevails at Vassar, Wellesley, Smith,
Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke, while
the Baltimore college advocates Swed-
ish. The development Of the heart and
lungs by free movements of the body is
the basis of the Swedish system, while
muscular strength, developed by ma
chine exercise, is the pivot Of DR.. Sar-
gents method. The German system
pays less attention to hygiene than the
American or Swedish does, and the lat
ter are more educa tional in their tend

The Late Mistress of the White House.

The death of the presidents wife has
called forth from all parts of the country
expressions of sympathy sincere and
touching. The character of Mrs. Harri-
son indeed was such as to command re-
spect outside of any consideration of the
position which she held as mistress of
the White House. The phrase which
came to the lips and the pens of thou
sands all over the land when her death
was announced was that she represented
the best type Of American womanhood.
This has been said and written so many
times that its repetition may seem trite,
but as applied to Mrs. Harrison it ex-
presses better than any other form of
words the character in which she was
known to the American people. She
was true helpmate to her husband
intellectually-for she was a cultivated
woman-morally and in the material af-
fairs of life. She did her part nobly in
his early struggles to establish himself

dignity the highest place in the land

WOMAN'S WORLD.
DRESS REFORM WILL BE SEEN AT
THE COLUMBIAN FAIR.

Gymnastics in women's CoIleges-Why
Dressed Up-Late Mistress of the White
House-The Homemalxer.
That the question of dress reform has
by no means been shelved is apparent in
the numerous articles that continue to
be printed on the subject. In Boston
periodical symposium on women's
dress is running monthly; in another
magazine, a paper on the "Gospel of
Dress" is in the same vein, and there
are besides constantly recurring para
graphs in many other prints to be met
with, not to include the several publica-
tions whose sole aim is to advance the
cause of this or that hygienic or reform
dress. A reading of them all does not
point to any very near solution of the
problem.
Mrs. Jenness Miller seems to have
made the best showing, but even her at
tractive gowns have failed to become
widely adopted. Even union suits have
been tried and given up by almost as
many women as have retained them,
and corsets are sold about as freely to-
day as ever, though they are worn looser
About the only atrocities that seem to
have been perceptibly eliminated are
wasp waists and high heeled shoes. Yet
every woman who walks out on windy
or rainy day, with her skirts winding
about her and the strain of caring for
her gown n caaseless tax, wishes fer
vently that something could be evolved
to make heNnore comfortable. Several
times she has been hopeful; the Mother
Hubbard gown offered possibilities, but
it was imposed upon and became de-
servedly distasteful. The later blazer
and REFER suits have afforded a consid-
cradle degree of relief for shopping and
travelling but as fashion introduced
them she is likely to suddenly frown
upon them, and what then? Dress re-
form so far seems to have only come in
spots, and evidently has not yet come to
stay.
In this regard the action of COM
pany of women in neighboring town
should be widely copied. They pledge
themselves to go to the fair next year,
if at all, in a single serviceable gown of
excellent material and good finish, but
made easy and comfortable and un-
hampered by undue length of skirt. A
satchel which may be carried in the
hand must hold all other necessities,
and thus untrammeled the club hopes to
be in condition to endure maximum
of sightseeing at a minimum of strength
and nerve force.
When you think of it the spectacle of
a woman with ribs and thorax crushed
by tight clothes, movements clogged by
enveloping skirts and head bound and
weighted with snug and ponderous hat,
strolling through the building devoted
to the display of the noble progress of
her sex in arts and sciences, will be a
sort of humiliating paradox, won't it?-
