An Authority on Patent Laws.

Among the deaconesses recently con-
secrated by Bishop Potter was Miss
Newell, lawyer in regular practice in
New York, with a large and remunera-
tive business. For several years Miss
Newell was employed in the patent Of
flee in Washington, where she was first
attracted by the iptricacy of the law as
applied to patent cases. Later she drew
a large salary in New York from firm
that made patent law a speciality. Hav-
ing thus mastered the patent law, she
was admitted to practice in the United
States courts and was frequently con-
suited by young patent lawyers who had
hearl of K. Newell without knowing
that the K. stood for Kate.
Usually after preparing her brief she
employed male counsel to appear for
her in the courts, but not infrequently
the judge, tired of the argument of the
dull counsel, requested her to appear
and enlighten the court, which she did
in well chosen and eloquent language,
supported by references to appropriate
legal authorities. York Sun.

It is pleasing to the eye that they dress
for the most part with excellent taste,
being given to plain, well fitting travel

this respect form an agreeable contrast
to the American women of twenty years

knots of stylish femininity one meets
about the offices of the continental hotels.

Flat Rebellion.

Since the short waist, the empire waist,
is looming more and more largely on the
horizon it may be interesting to give the
opinion ON this subject Of Partisan
woman of the world who has very de-
cided views ON. all things relating to
dress. Her views on the short waists
are contained in the following fragment
of a dialogue she had with the head of
one of the firms of fashionable dress
makers in Paris:
II shall rebel, sir! Nothing in the
world shall induce me to wear your en-
pire dress"
but, madam
Your waist line under the arm! Why,
it is preposterous. On trying on the cos
tune you sent me last month found to
my horror that looked like a big baby
in it. You know l wrote to you at once
saying that l should never make such a
fright of myself, and now, as soon as
enter your place, you propose to make
another such gown for me. 1t is mad
nessp
mo, sir; no! You have had your own
way little too long, you dressmakers,
and you have begun to think that we
shall fall in with all your caprices. But
let me tell you that we will not submit
to the empire dress. So do not say any
thing more. have said my last word"

To Make Lovely Gifts.

Any one who can use brush and water
colors should try painting on parchment.
Lovely gifts can be thus prepared, and
nothing in the line of menu cards can be
prettier. Photographs collected during
the summer may find a worthy resting
place in a parchment box delicately
painted with forgetmenots. For writing
tables there are the long, narrow diaries,
the parchment cover being ornamented
with rising sun or stars and the word
"Diary" in gold letters. Address and
Engagement books may be covered in the
same way, with an illuminated mono
gram in the center and ribbon border.
Menu cards may have graceful bas-
ket Of flowers painted gold or brown
and suspended by blue ribbons tied in
bow at the top. The flower will fall
over the basket and trail down the left
side of the card, and "Menu" will be
written across the top in gold. Menus,
guest cards, little almanacs and flat pin
cushions for suspending by ribbons may
be fancifully shaped like flowers, and
photograph frames like hearts OF Tyres.
To show how a menu can be made will
suffice. The vellum is stretched while
slightly damp (the damping being done
on the wrong side) over cardboard, the
edges being glued and turned over the
card.
For this liquid glue answers. A piece
OF thin cardboard is next cut almost
double the size of the menu; it is scored
across the middle with penknife, then
doubled back. The edges of the face of
one-half are glued to the parchmen
menu forming its lining, which makes
neat, and the other half serves as the
easel back.-Once Week.

A Query About Extravagant Adornment.

"A query ADouC G&triNaSsihs <Auoihhhohe'
Suppose Mrs. Vanderbilt were to have
Partisan dress literally covered with
$4,000 bills, sewed neatly but conspicu-
ously upon the garment, and so attired
were to present herself in the box of

horse show, he should cause to be set
upon the railing glass box in which
We're 900 twenty dollar gold pieces,

Silly, isn't it?
What, then, if these be silly, is to be
thought and what to be said of women
who but for the financial ability of their
husbands, fathers or what not wouldn't
have dollar, and who attend public
places wearing tiaras of diamonds cost
ing from $25, 900 to $4,000, corseted with
