A Skirt Stretcher Wanted.

The woman inventor who desires fame
and pelf, and the affection of her CRATE
full countrywomen as well, should set
her wits to work in devising some SIM
pie and portable contrivance that would
be to the womans skirt what the mans
trousers stretcher is to the mans gar
ments. The sheath skirt, owing to the
necessity the wearer feels of occasionally
sitting down, will get baggy at the
knees, and as yet no one has been bright
enought to evolve the skirt stretcher. If
this invention ever materializes, it is safe
to wager that man will be the orig
inator. The woman inventor will con-
Germ herself with only more important
discoveries. es.-New York Herald.

living between Waterford and Wheat
land, the father, mother, Il son and
daughter were all down with the grip
leaving only the youngest daughter,
Florence. about eighteen years of age,
to aid the rest. She attended to the
household duties and the sick, and for
two or three days fed and curried six
horses, fed and milked six cows and also
walked through the snow about quarter
of mile carrying corn, and when she
reached them, feeding it, with straw and
fodder, to thirty head of cattle. Having
to go to neighbor to send for doctor
for one of her sick, their condition was
discovered, and of course there was
plenty of help afterward. Richmond

A Sweet Singer of seventy-seven.

A writer some time ago called atten-
ton to the fact that many women are
doing and have done sustained and bril-
liant mental work at ages ranging from
sixty to seventy, a few exceptional cases
being noted even above threescore and
ten. This conclusion is even more note
worthy when applied to endowments di-
rectly dependent upon physical condi-
tions, but a case illustrative of this
phase is that of Mrs. Emma Bostwick
the singer, whose voice today, at the age
of seventy seven, is clear and full, with
no suspicion of cracked or tinny quail
ties. When she was sixty Mrs Bostwick
received $1,000 Il year singing in a
church choir in Chicago. She still sings
daily, and has no idea of giving up until
she sees some reason not yet manifest
for doing so. Mrs Bostwick ascribes the
preservation of her voice to continuous
practice. Careful but constant use she
thinks the best method to pursue with
the gift of song. Her Point of View in

Lean Year WiIes.

Low couches have long been in vogue.
Crowded with cushions and pillows, they
look cozy and inviting, but after all two
on sofa are not comfortably placed for
conversation One must lean forward
awkwardly.
The girl cannot do this, and man is
just that much more pliable and enter
tanning if he is comfortably seated. My
sweet Lady Maud has pile of innocent
looking pillows on the floor by one corner
of the couch. When visitor seats him
self she carelessly sinks on this pile of
cushions. Her elbow leans ON the couch.
Her head may lean back against the arm
of the couch.
She may even clasp her arms and so
rest her chin on the cushion of the
couch. Her eyes look up, and when do
a woman's eyes appear to better advan-
tage? The top Of her sleek, pretty head
shows
A dozen pretty postures are possible
Just think out the situation for yourself
and you will realize how rich it is in pos
sibilities. Sometimes Lady Maud takes
the couch herself and her visitor has the
pile of pillows. This is almost as dev-
astating to the visitors peace of mind
as is the other arrangement.
A man so placed is so nearly on his
knees that he is very likely to get there
entirely. 1t is such temptation, too
to rest hand or an arm, or even his
head, against the laces of Maud's gown
Then that new view of her chin and that
bit of delicate curve under it, the like of
which he never saw before! Her hands,
too, are so near.-San Francisco Exam

Ideas for Charity Bazaars.

A special feature of successful ba-
zaar Of the winter was the dinner served
every day from s to 10. One day a
French dinner was served, the next
Italy furnished the menu. An old plan
tation dinner, a German dinner and a
New England dinner were served on
other days of the week. The large hall
where the entertainment was held was
decorated in yellow and white cheese
cloth. and lighted by lanterns from
every land where they are made. Over
each booth was large Japanese um.
brella. hung with lanterns. Booths that
women could patronize economically
were those containing table and bed
linen and towels, and where holders of
all kinds, and tea, coffee and egg coseys
were sold. Among the holders for
kitchen use were those of asbestus,
which are now sold in the housekeeping
stores. They appear to be made from
stout, heavy canvas and will not burn.
They are sold at eighteen cents each.
Two other forms of bazaar that may
be suggestive to those who are puzzled
to provide something new to fill the
treasury of their charities are the orr
entail and the Mexican. The last OF
these consisted of loan exhibit of Mex
lean potteries, blankets, jewelry and
other ornaments and sale of the crude
water bottles, jars and pilgrim bottles
of Mexico. Among the dishes served at
the Mexican supper were "tortillas," a
Mexican bread, and frijoles. made from
Mexican beans.
The oriental bazaar calls for a more
magnificent setting than can be con-
veniently had, except in a city with
many resources. The walls were hung
with pictures Of oriental landscapes. and
the booths fitted to look like the small
shops in oriental market places. Those
who had charge of the stalls wore the
dress of the east and sold rugs in the
smaller sizes, table covers, cushions and
oriental embroideries. Others sold os-
trich eggs, preserves and bonbons from
the east.-New York Post.

Toronto Women in Local Politics.

The Toronto women came out in great
numbers to vote at the last municipal
election on the questions Of free text
books in the schools and Of Sunday street
car service. The result was that the
election went in favor of free text books
and against the Sunday cars. Several
women were elected to the school board
and the workingmen's candidate for
mayor received small majority of
votes. He epublicly thanked the ladies for
their great assistance. Letter

Dress Goods for Spring.

Rough effects will continue to be very
popular among dress goods to be used
this spring, but not to the exclusion OF
the fine, smooth surfaced cloths and
other woolens that very many women
prefer. Nine out Of ten Of the new
models that appear are silk lined. sheath
skirted and made with little train in
the back, although the rumor grows
louder that the round skirt for street
wear will gain the day before the June
roses blossom. One far famed Paris
dressmaker sends over number OF
costumes made of fine French camePs
hair, whose skirts just clear the ground
all around. Cross folds gracefully ar
ranged on the hips relieve the too close
effect of the sheath skirts of the winter
models; rows of machine stitching finish
the skirt hem, and the camels hair
jacket en- suite is close fitting and has
full sleeves and mousquetaire revers and
cuffs.-New York Letter.

sex being ncenseu to practice law mere
has been widely discussed. This agita-
ton has been augmented by two bills
now pending in the Virginia legislature.
One of these was intended to permit
women to practice law. right now de-
MED them under the construction of the
state statutes.
Mrs. Annie L. Smith, of North Dan
vile, a native of Ohio, is the champion
of this latter measure. She has scored a
victory by securing the Endorsement of
the senate committee for courts of JUS
tice to her bill. She did this by appear
ing before that committee and making a
personal appeal to them.
The senate recently defeated by an
overwhelming majority a measure
which had been pending in that body
for several days making it compulsory
to appoint women physicians in the
women's wards of the asylums in Vir-
ginia. This bill some time ago passed
the lower house by a practically unani-
nous vote. When it came to the senate
it met with considerable opposition, to
overcome which many society women of
this city and other sections of the state
united their efforts. The most earnest
appeals were made and eloquent ad-
dresses directed to senators, with the
view of making favorable impression
in behalf of the measure. 1t was, how
ever, in vain.
The argument of those who opposed
the bill was that Virginia is not yet
ready to obliterate the old landmarks of
conservatism and place women in those
positions which have heretofore been en-
tirely confided to the male members of
the medical profession. The ladies, how
ever, are determined that the change
shall be made in the near future.-Rich-
