A Won an Politician.

Lady Sandhurst, who died recently
in England, was one of the most active
workers in partisan politics as well as in
reforms and charities. An American
writer in one of our reviews, comment
ing on the death Of Lady Sandhurst,
says, "She belonged to type far more
common in England than in America
the public woman, jealous for reforms,
active in charities and philanthropies,
and as pronounced partisan in politics
as Sir William Harcourt himself"
But this country, that should have
been in advance of England in the pos
session of this type of woman, is now
rapidly following in the footsteps of the
mother country, and able and cultivated
women are appearing to take their places
as pronounced politicians, and to ad-
vance the best interests of both men and
women. The examples of England's
best and bravest and noble women
ladies like this one and many others
may well inspire our educated American
women to take more active and ear
nest interest in our public and political
affairs.-Boston Traveller.

A Unique Social Function.

A feature of tne last week of social
life in Biddeford was the 'sburying" of
Ash Wednesday by the French people, q
custom peculiar to Canada, and this l.
how it. is done: The host and hostess Of
the party busy themselves in frying
"flapiacks," and after a big stock has
been piled up the party is seated at the
tables and there is gastronomic contest
70 see who can eat the largest number Of
these ssflapjacks." The winner gets q
uitable prize, while the one who eats
Me fewest becomes the clown of the
yarty for the remainder of the evening,
ind is obliged to submit to any pranks
which the others may play and to do
everything ordered to, no matter how
idiculous. The biggest record ever
Known there was made by a aFrenchman,
low dead, who ate an even two dozen
good sized "fapjacks," with nothing to
nelp them down but sugar.-Bangor

Princess Marie.

The Duchess of Edinburgh's eldest
daughter, Princess Marie, is nearly of an
age now to make her first appearance at
a drawing room Ghe daughters of the
royal family are never presented, they
simply "attend" the drawing room with
the other members of the queens family,
though they do wear white presentation
dresses). Princess Marie is nearly seven
teen, and it is quite possible that she may
attend one of the drawing rooms this
season with her mother, though this is
not yet settled.
If she does, it is certain she will be an
object of great interest at court, and un-
doubtedly will be much admired, as she
is the prettiest Of 4 ems grandchil-
dren. The Duke .'urgh's daugh-
ters are all pretty 1, the third, Prin-
cess Alexandra, is tne most Russian in
feature and most resembles her mother.

A Word AbOut Moth a.

While waiting for suitable weather
for housecleaning much work in the
way of preparation may be done, such
as putting away heavy winter clothing
to keep from moths during the sum-
mer. These little pests are the plague
of every housekeeper and very difficult
to exclude from trunks or chests. 1t is
therefore an excellent plan to use some
thing offensive to them. Petroleum
paper is said to be very effective. 1t can
be bought in rolls, cut in pieces long
enough to cover insides of trunks or
boxes, over which clean newspapers or
wrapping paper can be spread, and then
all woolen clothing and furs packed in
and first covered with cloth or paper
and then with the petroleum paper,
after which the top should be securely
fastened. Woolen goods put away thus
will be safe for any length of time, the
paper seeming to act like an antiseptic
on the animal fiber of the wool, to pre-
serve and make it healthful. Montreal

A Little Child Shall Lead Them.

The lady who wields all power at Ha-
warden at present is little Miss Drew,
Mr.. Gladstones two-year-old grand
child. A recent visitor to Hawarden
says: 81 never saw prettier sight than
when she ran through the open door
which divides the drawing room from
the Grand Old Mans sanctuary, and,
pulling at the lapels of his dressing
gown, drew him imperiously away from
Homer or the Blue Book, or whatever
was engaging him. The first intima-
tion we had in the next room was peal
of laughter on Mr.. Gladstone's part at
the obvious necessity of capitulating to
that daring invasion, as musical and
hearty as ever came from human lips,
for his laugh is one of his greatest at
fractions.
Presently the Grand Old Man and
the little child, separated by eighty
years of time, came hand in hand to-
gether into the drawing room. Mrs.
Gladstone runs to the piano and strikes
up lively waltz tune, and in a second
the two partners are dancing together,
the Grand Old Man putting into his
pirouettes lot of funny, old fashioned
little steps, learned of our great-grand-
mothers seventy-five years ago, which
it was impossible to view without de-
light and applause, although so much
pathos mingled with comedy in the
touching scene. Pail Mall Gazette.

preparing for the World,s Fair.

The women of the Indiana Worlds
fair commission are pushing forward
their part of the work. They have Sc
lected Miss Mary Williamson to take
charge of the fine arts exhibit for the
state. Miss williamson home is in La
fayette, but she has taken house in this
city, to remain until after the exposition.
Miss Williamson's work is unique and
peculiar to herself and incapable of i'm
itation. Her father was a skillful chemist
and left with his daughter the secret of
his dyes.
A large number of women are en-
ployed by Miss Williamson in doing GER
tain parts of the work. A number of
ladies il. different parts of the state are
preparing articles for exhibit at the

An Important Question.

Her majesty has not yet settled
whether there will be any drawing
rooms this season, but hear that it is
probable that at least one will be held.
The utter destruction of the London
season which must follow if the royal
family remain in complete retirement
should, and probably will, lead 20 de-
cision to have at least one court. The
queen herself would, it is said, be present
and receive for time, and then leave
the post of honor to one of her daughters
or daughters-in-law. The fatigue of
holding court is considerable.

To Keep the Hands White.

When doing housework, if your hands
become chapped or red, mix cornmeal
and vinegar into a stiff paste and apply
to the hands two or three times day,
after washing them in hot water; then
let them dry without wiping and rub
with glycerin. At night use cold cream
and wear gloves.-New York Journal.

Women as Librarians.

Woman's fitness for library work is
proved. She has a recognized place in
the profession. She has contributed
somewhat to the literature of the sub

American Library association, due
largely to the liberal spirit of the lead
ers in the library movement Of the last
twenty years.-Exchange.

trying medicines prescribed by physicians
and remedies suggested by friends, receiv-
ing no relief until tried bottle Of Halls

feel that have found a medicine that should
find its way into every household.

Lively Young Women at Leap Year Parties.

Lively Young Women at Leap Year Parties.
Some of the leap year parties seem to
have been carried on or off with excep-
tional spirit. 1t has been laughable, for
instance, the way in which the men
have insisted upon being chaperoned
and young women have called in car
riages to accompany gay bachelors, who
were carefully protected by their moth
ers, to the scene of festivities. One in
veterate joker gave perhaps hint to
the bellies of the sort Of chaperons that
would be most acceptable, when he
came into the parlor to receive his fair
escort, followed by an elderly aunt who
is deaf as a post and is besides almost
blind. This same man was wrapped in
white opera cloak cut with an absurd
resemblance to dress suit ulster; he
carried bouquet of flowers and wore a
band of ribbon and bow ON his hair.
When he appeared from the dressing
room, after laying aside his ambiguous
wrap, it was seen that the sleeves of his
coat had been taken out and elbow
sleeves of pink silk and lace substituted,
which, met by long pink kid gloves,
effectually "brightened" his toilet and
added to his nondescript appearance.
At another leap year party, held just
before Lent began, the young women
danced the cotillon with white silk
crush hats under their arms. At the
same affair a young footman in cap and
apron did duty in the mems dressing
room, which was besides plentifully
provided with powder and rouge boxes,
hairpins, a tray of bonbons, and aggress-
i've bottles of cologne and extracts.
When the ladies doffed their outside
gear the actual maid wore with her
regulation petticoats livery jacket and
vest and carried a whisk broom as a
sort of badge of Office. The room was
bereft of its usual feminine fripperies,
and in their place were suggestively set
out tobacco, pipes and cigars, with de-
canters of cognac and huge fancy
bowl filled with cloves.-Her Point of
View in New York Times.

..shadow" Silks for Decorative Uses.

'sShadow" Silks for Decorative Uses.
Among the new fabrics for household
decoration are the shadow silks" de-
signed by the Society of Decorative Art
lists. They present exquisite color COM
binations of softly shaded tints in indis-
tinct patterns on changeable back
grounds, and are most rich and artistic
in effect. They are used for portieres,
curtains, mantel drapes, cushions and
spreads. In the form of curtains they
are simply hung and are frequently made
up with no trimming except hem folded
up on the right side of the silk itself,
which is so unlike on the two sides as to
have the effect of band of entirely diff
ferent material when folded back upon
itself.
In mantel covers the silk may be bor-
dered with fringe or have tassels only
at the corners. The scarf is draped but
once near one end. For table spreads,
if more than one width is required for
the spread, a length is split, overhanded
by the selvages, hemmed all around,
either plainly or with the hem turned
back on the right side across the ends,
and has tassels at the corners.-Carpet

She Had an Ex-Mayor for an Auditor.
Mrs. Custer is clever story teller,
with the keen sense of humor, and the
cute, offhand way of making her points
seldom found in a woman, or in a man,
for that matter. In delivering her lee
ture on buffalo hunting at DR.. Corcoran's
recently she several times dropped her
notes and told stories, and she seemed to
enjoy the laughter which broke out
every few minutes at her witty sallies.
When she referred to the tribulations of
the Grand Duke Alexis on his travels in
this country in encountering Grating
mayors and city councils at every turn,
as she did several times, the fair lee
turer seemed little surprised at the
sensation produced on her audience.
When finally she described the incur
sion of mayor upon a Mississippi
steamboat where the duke was trying to
enjoy himself with party of ladies, the
merriment of her hearers reached its eli
max, and Mrs. Custer looked quizzically
at the distinguished gentleman who sat
directly in front of her clapping his hands
vigorously and laughing as hard as he
could. Itwas ex-Mayor Bradford. Mrs.
Custer is an exceedingly pretty woman,
with the southern pronunciation very
marked, and her lecture was delightful.
