Sentiment versus Common Sense.

One of the gravest errors that woman
can commit is that of jumping at con-
clusions I have seen SO much of this
sort of thing within the past three
months. Some dear, good natured chap
comes along with pretty stock of gra-
cious nothings and whispers them into
the pink tinted ear of sweet little thing
who is just bubbling over with senti-
ment. A few tender glances, pressure
of the hand, delicately turned compli-
ment, and the girl is on the lookout for
an engagement ring. l do not think
that the women would be such supreme
idiots were it not for the officiousness of
outsiders. Just let a couple show the
slightest preference for each others So
ciety, and at once family and friends be-
gin to take note of proceedings.
The girl most interested grows con-
scious, and the young man seeks safety
in fight. Girls, take nothing for grant
ed and do not indulge in hopes that will
never be fulfilled. The man who would
propose after weeks idling is not made
of the kind of material which furnishes
the model husband. Let a man feel that
he can have your friendship without be-
ing obliged to round up the affair with
an offer of marriage. Attentions which
may mean much or little too frequently
die a natural death from being forced
into an unnatural growth. The short
road to loves domain is full of pitfalls.
Better take the longer way, for it is the

Women and Pottery.

Connoisseurs at home and abroad con-
cede that in the peculiar bronze tinted
pottery known as Rookwood America
has achieved its first and only artistic
ceramic creation. American ceramic
history may be said to date from the
Centennial, where the japanese display
suggested to the fertile genius of a
woman, Maria Longworth Storer, the
artistic possibilities Of the clays of her
native Missouri valley, and the first
Rookwood was nodded. To a woman,
too, Miss Mclaughlin, the world is in
debted for the discovery of underglaze
painting, which gave such an impetus
to pottery decoration.
Now there are 10000 women actively
engaged on the modelling and decoration
of pottery in the United States, besides
the great army of amateurs who decorate
cups and saucers and plates for their
own homes, reproducing with much
skill the more original work of the prac-
tical decorators or copying from Old
World models. A National Ceramic as
sociation of these women workers has
been founded, of which Miss McLaugh-
lin is president and the late Mrs. Benja-
min Harrison was vice president, and it
is desired to establish national school
where women may study without going
abroad.-New York Sun.

ner at the parsonage, and as Miss Mather
gave hef maiden name the clergyman
had no thought of who she was. The
couple drove from the depot in car
riage and left for Chicago on the next
train. Both gave Chicago as their place
of residence, and when Mr.. Pease said,
"We have Pabsts in this state" no in
timation was given that the groom was
relative, nor did the clergyman know
until some time after who his visitors
were.
Some weeks after the marriage Mr..
Pabst met Mr.. Pease on the train COM
ing from Milwaukee, and then, in a
conversation, he admitted that Captain
Pabst, of Milwaukee, was his father
and his wife was Margaret Mather. AT
the time of the marriage no special re-
quest was made, SO Mr.. Pease says, to
keep the marriage secret, but when he
met young Pabst on the train the latter
asked that it be kept quiet for time,
saying he intended explaining matters
to his father soon. He said then that
his wife was in California, and that he
was going to join her there, adding they
were enjoying life very much. Pabst
and Miss Mather were alone at the
time of their marriage. Cor.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
"A STRIKING FIGURE AT THE RECENT
!! HORSE SHOW IN NEW YORK.

Something About the Wages of the wom-
en- Who Are Displacing Men on Dutch
Railways-A Word About the Winter
GirI-A Lesson in Vanity.
Everybody up ON horse matters knows
that Mrs. Beach has received fourteen
prize ribbons in five years, and that that
is remarkable record; that she is the
lady mistress of the most fashionable
riding school in town, and that she is a
wonderfully clever woman in various
ways. She and her daughter, Miss
Belle. were the feminine riders of the
recent horse show, and it was quite the
thing to comment upon their grace and
style. Mrs. Beach's place among the
best known women in New York is
unique. She is not only professional
rider, but ''lady," as the elite use the
word. Mrs. Hicks-Lord and Mrs. Beach
were the first women in New York to
ride saddle horses in the park attended
by grooms. In those days Mrs. Beach
was one of the fashionables by right of
birth and au abundance of money. Her
husband was member of the Produce
exchange.
She was born in Connecticut of sold
stock" At the age of three she clung
to horses tail one day, and the big
brute switched her all around among its
feet, where it could get a good look at
her. She wasn't bit frightened, and
she solemnly declares that the old horse
said to her: That's right, little girl.
You find out. all about us horses, and we'll
be your friend always. We like you"
She supposes she must have had some
peculiar gift, for she always understands
and sympathizes with them, and the
most fractions animal obeys her wishes.
, The old nag down in Connecticut was
a truthful prophet, for the romance of
her life was brought about on horseback,
and when reverses came she earned her
living on horseback. For seven years
she has taught the aristocratic danes
and maidens of New York the secrets of
the saddle and kept her social standing.
Her life has had other trials besides
financial reverses. At the age Of twenty
one her only son was blown to atoms by
an explosion. But the brave little wom-
an has kept her heart and courage
through it all, and she is as bright and
CHEEKY as her particularly vivacious
daughters, with whom she lives in flat
on Fifty-ninth street. There is no one
who could fill her place as diplomat and
riding instructress to the Four Hundred.
She is not fond of notoriety, though.
She says she "felt like somebody's old
yaller dog" all throdgh the show, for
people constantly nudge each other and
whisper very audibly as she passes, "Oh,
see; there's Mrs. Beachr-New York

Women on Dutch RAILWAYS.

The British consul at The Hague says
that, as regards the employment of wom-
en- and children on railways, it is stated
that the latter are mostly made use of
at the several railway works, their par
ents being glad of the one or two forins
they are able to earn for comparatively
light work. They are occasionally put
to similar work on the permanent way,
being paid at the rate of seventy-fve or
eighty cents. The women are chiefly
employed in cleaning the carriages,
working ON an average eight hours
day on the state railway, with light
work on alternate Sundays, and getting
fourteen forms twenty-five cents wages
per fortnight; on the Holland railway
ten hours day without Sunday work,
with daily wage of one form thirty
cents, or else watching the lines, turn
about with their husbands, the "weg-
wachters," or cantonniers.
On the State railway their work aver
ages twelve hours (the men taking the
night duty, and they are paid at the
rate of twenty-five cents day, being
lodged besides, the husbands earning
ninety cents day. On the Holland rail-
way the average hours of work are about
the same, the women receiving pay at
the rate of fifty-ive cents day, one
form sixty-fve cents week being, how
ever, deducted for the lodging allowed
them.
For women with families the work is
considered trying, especially when they
are kept on duty as long as sixteen hours,
as is the case at certain points where
the traffic happens to be very heavy. AS
regards the general conditions under
which the persons in the employ of the
great Dutch railway companies carry on
their work, the testimony of the numer-
GUS witnesses examined by the commits
sion, with few exceptions, went to
show that they are we'll satisfied both as
to the wages they receive and as to the
treatment awarded to them. One wit
ness was of opinion that the wages of
railway servants compared favorably
with those of most factory hands,

Ar:stocratic Fowls.
