Modern society has welcomed COM
nonsense shoes and commOn-sense
forms Of dress, writes John Lambert
Payne in an attempt to solve the
question "Why Young Men Defer
Marriage" in the Ladies' Home
Journal. 1t would seem that the
time is opportune for widespread
outbreak of common-sense marriages.
At all events, II a change from the
present stagnation is to be effected,
three things seem to me necessary:
First, there must be a popular
knowledge Of the facts; second, the
people at large must think; and
third, there must be action.

pra,.. and Appreciation.

There are persons in this world
and the pity is that there are not
more OF them-who care less for
praise than appreciation. They have
an ideal after which they are striv-
ing, but of which they consciously
fall short, as every one who has a
lofty ideal is sure to do. When that
ideal is recognized by another, and
they are praised or commended for
something-let that something be
important OF not-in its direction,
they are grateful, not for praise, but
for appreciation. An element OF
sympathy enters into that recogni-
tlon, and they feel that they have
something in common with the OBJ
server who admires what they admire
and praises what they think is most
worthy of praise.

She Found Foreign Ladis of Title Heart and
Soul for the WomanS Exhibit.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Mrs. Potter Palmer,
president of the board of lady managers of
the worlds fair, arrived in this city to-
day on the steamship Etruria. She was
absent seven weeks. and visited England,
Austria. France and Belgium. Throughout
these countries, and others which she had
not an opportunity to visit, she said the
sentiment was very favorable in behalf Of
having q womans exhibit The trouble
with great many of the European coun-
tries was that their parliaments, as some of
our own State legislatures, did not prop
erly specify what portion of the ap-
preparation made should be devoted to the
women's exh lbit An interesting bit of lnfor-
nation obtained from Mrs. Palmer was the
fact that there were some dissensions in
the women's commission from England.
The Duohes of Abercorn and the Countess
of Aberdeen both claim to represent the
Irish product. which will be principally
lace. Politics entered into the delibera-
lions of the committee, and both claim
priority. Several years ago, before
worlds fair was talked about, Lady Aber-
deem was IN this country trying TO further
the sale of Irish manufacture. The Ouch
ess of Abercorn's only claim TO represent
the Irish industries is that her husband ID
y Tory landowner In that country. Mrs.
Palmer, however, thinks that the rivalry
between the two distin Guished ladies will
be amlcably arranged. so that lrelands
under English rule goods will be properly
represented at the far In Chicago.
Mrs. Palmer said that while our women
claim TO be foremost in every move
ment they were far behind. as regards
practical work, to their sisters in England.
Among the countries heard from whers
action has been taken in regard to a WON
ans exhibit are Italy the Queen being pa
troness; Germany, with Princess Frederick
troness; France Nine. Carnot patroness,
and Austria, Princess Metternich in charge.
From such countries as Syria aud India,
WILL be appointed by the government, the
board of lady managers of the fair are ne
gotiating with American women resident
there to send exhibits of everything unique
in wOmen's work.

HOW THE TICKET is RECEIVED.

The manner in which the Republican
nominations have been received through
out the country cannot but be exceed
ingly gratifying to the Indiana friends
of President Harrison and to all who
desire the continued success of the
party. There is no installing the fact
that the denomination of the President
is approved by the rank and file of the
party everywhere, and especially by the
conservative business men of the coun-
try. Among the avalanche Of congrat-
ulatOry dispatches which poured into
the White House after the nomination
became known were messages from
great number of Republican clubs bear
ing the various names of Lincoln, Gar
field and Blaine, from labor Organiza-
tions, business organizations and firms,
trade-uniOns, business men and repre-
sentative citizens of all classes.
The great variety of these dispatches
and the widely scattered sources from
which they came indicate the extent and
character of the Presidents hold upon
the people. IL shows that there is apOp-
ularity more substantial and enduring
than that which comes from superficial
geniality and hale felIowship-the pop
ularity that springs from confidence in
a mans ability to discharge great and
responsible duties to the satisfaction of
all concerned, and from a conviction
that, come what may, he is equal to
every occasion. This is the kind of
popularity that President Harrison en-
Joys. The Journal believes it is no
exaggeratiOn to say that no President
ever had stronger hold on the cOnserv-
alive business element of the country
and among quiet. intelligent citizens of
all classes than President Harrison has,
and that the practically universal APP
prevail of his denomination indicates a
kind of strength which will continue to
grow till the end of the campaign.
The nomination of Hon. Whitelaw
Reid for Vice president is also exceed
ingly well received. He represents a
new element in American politics and
will add positive strength TO the ticket.
The reception of the ticket is such as to
leave no doubt that the action of the
convention has the hearty approval of
Republicans throughout the country.

AN Indianapolis special to the Louis
vile Courier Journal, which seems to
speak by the card, says:
Negotiations have been going on for sew
eral days between the Cleveland and Gray
Democrats of Indiana, looking TO an agree
ment bv which all the delegates from the
State are to labor for the nomination. of
Cleveland for President and for Isaac +.
Gray for Vice president. 1t is said that eX-
Governor Gray was loath To abandon his
presidential aspirations but will consent
10 the compromise agreement In the end.
unless be shall be convinced. after the del
egates have arrived in Chicago, that the
nomination of Cleveland is impossible.
The Journal has never doubted that
Governor Gray would take second place
if he could get it, but it does doubt
whether Mr.. Cleveland will accept him
as a running mate. This negotiation is
understood to have been the object of
editor Morss's recent visit to New York.

THE Brooklyn IN. " Eagle counts
GA votes for Mr.. Cleveland in the DEM
ocratic national convention, which is
the necessary twO-thirds, on the first
ballot. In that list Indiana's thirty
votes are counted. 1t may be that the
managers have succeeded in coaxing
Isaac Pussy Gray to drop his ridiculous
pretensions as presidential candidate,
but If such Is the case the public is not
aware of it. If he insists it will be to
prevent Mr.. Cleveland from getting
two thirds, and those who know the
man believe that he will insist unless
the second place is secured to him by
pledge in advance. To insure Indiana's
vote for Mr.. Cleveland the convention
might nominate Isaac Pusey Gray for
Vice President before ballot is taken
for President. If there are any other
votes which the Eagle has counted for
Mr.. Cleveland having an Isaac Pussy
Gray string to them that person to
whom the Democratic New York Sun is
won't to refer as 1.-The Stuffed" will not
receive two thirds on the first ballot
There can be no doubt that a large ma
jority of the voting Democrats think
they want Mr.. Cleveland for a candi-
date, but those who know that they do
not want him are very positive in their
knowledge.

THERE is every indication that the
nti-Harrison feeling among Republic
ans will rapidly subside and soon wholly
disappear, now that the convention has
spoken and the nomination has been
made. Those who favored the nominal
ton of some other candidate than Har-
rison made their fight within party lines,
and continually asserted that if he were
nominated they would support him. AS
