Mile. Elise st. Omer, the celebrated
Frenchwoman traveller, is going to start
soon for her second trip around the
world. Mile. st. Omer, who has been
made member of the French Geo
graphical society, will collect informa-
ton concerning the lives and customs of
the women and children of primitive
tribes and nations, which she will lay
before the society on her return. She
expects to be absent three years. In her
former travels Mile. st. Omer has given
various proofs of her indomitable cour-
age and force of will, and although
now sixty is as energetic and enthusi-
astic as ever.
She travels without any luggage, car
rying not even handbag. All she re-
quires is slowed away in her capacious
pockets. Thus equipped, this energetic
Frenchwoman has travelled through all
parts of Europe, Asia and America; has
visited the Mormons, Chinese, Japanese
and Cingalese; has explored the western
states, ridden side by side with Bedouins
and climbed the Himalayas. Atpresent
Mile. st. Omer's favorite dream is a
journey to the interior of Africa. She
has already investigated Egypt. Her
countrymen say that she has completed
her Odyssey" and will now begin her
"Iliad. Paris Letter.

been covered with varicolored Grape
cloth, star spangled materials were
draped overhead and flags and banners
had been artistically used to hide the
nakedness of the walls. Besides all
these were the flowers. Very few men
got into the meeting.
Miss Grace H. Dodge, president of the
association, presided, and on the plat
form beside her were Mrs. Alexander,
Mrs. Richard Irwin, Miss Clara S. Potter,
Mrs Charles A. Russell, Mrs. Henry
Ollesheimer, Miss Martha Draper, Mrs.
Casper Griswold, Miss Virginia Potter
and many others. Nearly a score of
societies were represented and the mem
bers of each could be told by the color
of the bowknots of ribbon they wore.
The girls sang original music composed
by one of their own number, listened to
reports Of the progress Of their associa-
ton and Of the individual societies and
made speeches.
Miss Dodge told in detail of the pleas
ant things about the association that
had come to her notice within the past
year and referred particularly to the
Choral union, which had been born
within few months. Afterward this
body, which is made up of $50 members
of the association, sang 30 Beautiful

Dodge's praise. York Letter.

An international Victory.

If the dispatches are correct, the wom-
en- have won what may be termed an
international victory. They are to be
admitted to the University of St. An
drews, the oldest educational institution
of the character in Scotland, and they
are to be allowed to become doctors of
philosophy at our own Yale. At this
pace there will soon be no college of i'm
portance on either side of the water to
which both sexes have not free access
With the victories of the young women
graduates in England, one hears little
now about their ability to stand the
courses of study.
But as matter of fact it is too early
yet for much data upon the physical eff
fects of competition with the young
men, competition all the more severe
from the previous assertions that young
women were not equal to their brothers
in mental capabilities and strength. It
is work of vindication with ambitious
young women, and so is likely to become
overwork. Boston Journal.

not possess an attic and the cellar must
wait the dying out of the furnace fire,
the sewing room comes first on the town

patterns, pieces of dresses and odds and
ends of this apartment, which is apt to
be an omnium gatherum during the
winter. need all to be overhauled and
sorted. It is well to remember that
bundles of wool pieces need moth pre-

they represent. This fact is often over

lied on to furnish new sleeves for next

The latest important project of the
Worlds fair board Of lady managers is
the building of mammoth hotel for the
accommodation of the great numbers of
self supporting women who will visit
the exposition.
The scheme of the hotel originated in
the brain of woman, Mrs. M. B. Carse,
and the site for the structure has been
presented by Mr.. George M. Pullman.
The building will be two stories high and
will cover an entire city square, being
built around central court in Spanish
fashion. It will be built by an incor-
porated stock company, governed by the
board of lady managers of the fair, and
will be capable of accommodating 5000
persons. A room, bed, light, etc., can
be obtained for thirty cents day, and
q light breakfast will be supplied at
small expense.
The shares will be sold at five dollars
each, and each certificate of stock will
entitle the person presenting it to its
face value in the house. If at any time
rooms be vacant and application be
made for them by other than stochhold-
ers, they will be allotted to working
women at the same rate; but it is an
ticipated that the stock will all be taken,
30 that only shareholders and persons
designated by them will be received

Brooklyn Women for Clean Streets.

The women of Brooklyn, evidently en-
couraged by what few of their sisters
have done in this city, are undertaking
todo something to make the city of their
homes cleaner and healthier. 1t is
wise movement and deserves encourage
ment. In view of what one New York
woman has accomplished in bringing
about the enactment of the new street
cleaning law, it would seem that the
public spirited women of Brooklyn might
profitably turn their energies in the
same direction. There is lage field for
them to cultivate. York Tribune.

Popular Shades.

There has been nothing really popular
in decided color for some time; neu-
tral tints have held sway with great
persistency through several seasons. 1t
is always unwise to prophesy about col
ors without knowing, so small thing
being sufficient to make or mar the pop
ularity Of shade; but all who concern
themselves with such questions assure
one that greens in endless variety will
be affected and that yellows will be
much used, and in evidence of this one
has only to scan the bonnet shops, where
golden crocuses are to be seen in profu-
sion just now.
OF course all manner of fancy shades
with curious names are promised, among
which "gazon, a vivid green; wrought
iron," luminous gray, and "Chili," a
startling yellow, may be mentioned

A Good Leap Year Suggestion

There is young lady in Clinton who
deserves considerable credit for the man
ner in which she has doomed herself.
She is good looking and takes fine pho
tograph.
AS times were dull and the spirit of
mischief was abroad, she sat down and
wrote letter to a big Chicago patent
medicine firm, telling of the wonderful
strength and restoration to health she
had received from taking three packages
of their medicine.
The firm at once wrote to her for her
photograph, which she sent, and in three
weeks after her picture appeared in the

WOMAN'S WORLD.
YOUNG NEW YORK WOMEN WHO COL
LECT FOR MERCHANT TAlLORS.

Women and the Actors Fair-A women's
Cooperative Scheme g. Working Girls
Meet-A Travelling Frenchwoman-An
International Victory.
There are now in New York about
half dozen young women who are en-
ployed as collectors by tailors. Natural
ly it is not business that every young
lady would care to go into, but the
wages are attractive. There is one
young woman employed by Fifth av-
enue tailor whose average is fifty dol
lars week and she does not work over
six hours day. ut isn't nearly 30 bad
as it seems" said she. "The first time l
went into an Office thought should
faint. 1t was only with the greatest ef-
fort that could make myself go there
at all. But didn't have to do any urg-
ing at all. The man paid me almost with
out saying word. 1t didn't take me
five minutes and my commission was
ten dollars. That encouraged me and
now get along splendidly. But it takes
lots of assurance at times. Still have
never been treated discourteously but
once The worst trouble is that the men
want to invite you to dinner, to the
theater and all that sort of thing"
When pretty young woman, charm
ingly dressed, appears at an Office and
says that she wants to see Mr.. Putoff,
the Office boy never dreams of inquiring
what her business may be. He simply
goes to the young man and says that q
lady wishes to see him, and he adds,
with the Office boys privilege, that she
is young and pretty. Mr.. Putoff never
dreams of demanding to know her busi-
ness before he goes out. He appears
with smile as broad as a French play
and greets her with overpowering po-
liteness. And when she looks at him
shyly and timidly, and murmurs with a
little catch in her voice, "Oh, Mr.. Put
off, you'll pardon me-" he feels that
there is nothing on earth he would not
do to help the beautiful girl who is in
distress.
He does not notice the slip Of white
paper in her hand. And then when she
tells him that she has called to collect
the little bill which he owes Cuttem &
Tailor it dazes him. He pays the bill
before he can recover from his amaze
ment And even if he did recover his
wits in time, he would never dare put
her off and run the cross fire of the other
fellows in the office.-New York World.

An Important Fashion Note.

Folks who follow fashions foibles in
almost everything have just learned
that a blanket of blue or white flannel is
the proper garment for a pet dog while

dog which wears collar before noon

ished from the circles of the canine Four

Two Girls Chased by a Maine Bear.

The spectacle of two young women
being chased by bear in the streets of
a city is rather unusual, but such a thing
occurred in Gardiner, Me-, the other
day. Had the girls stood still when
Mr.. Marshall's pet bear dropped over
the garden wall they would have been
all right, but they ran and screamed,
and the bear followed in high glee. One
of the girls fell, and the bear after pok-
ing his ''horrid nose" into her face re-
sumed his pursuit of the other until she
sought refuge in house. Then he
seemed to think the fun spoiled and am
bled home. Now the women want the
poor bear killed.

Way to Keep Flowers.

Freshly cut flowers may be preserved
alive for a long time by placing them
in glass or vase with fresh water in
which little charcoal has been steeped
or a small piece of camphor dissolved
The vase should be set upon plate or
dish and covered with bell glass,
around the edges of which, when it
comes in contact with the plate, little
water should be poured to exclude the
air.-Nev York Journal
