Adieu, Long Skirts.

So the girls are to be relieved of the
torture of trained skirts this fall? That
is the edict of fashion, and it is fortu-
nate thing that it has gone forth. Not
that it could have failed to do so very
we'll How could woman have gone
stopping through the snow with half a
yard of dress to hold in her left hand,
with all the weight of furs and heavy
clothing to carry as well? The idea
would be preposterous. True, woman
is very graceful while holding her skirt
daintily out of the mire, but it is posi-
BILE to pay too dearly even for the pleas
ure of looking fascinating, and that is
what the American women think.
The fact is that the despot that rules
feminine fashion could not hope to keep
up a style that was nothing less than
torture through the winter. If fashion
had said that women must continue u
hold up train, the women would have
rebelled. They are long suffering, but
it is possible to go little too far, and
the time has arrived when the women
want chance to hold something else on
the street besides a large handful OF
skirt-Pittsburg Bulletin.

The Courtesy of Salsswomen.

A woman who writes for newspaper
in large western city says: "Do mer
chants realize how greatly the manners
of their clerks affect their trade? It
was hot Saturday night during the
warm weather we had few weeks since
that a lady had occasion to go down town
to one Of the large dry goods stores.
Now the clerk will just drag herself up
10 wait on ine this warm night at the
end Of the week, was the thought Of
the lady as herself and friend walked
down to the notion counter. But she
was agreeably disappointed, for instead
Of tired, nervous clerk a young girl,
looking as fresh and bright and serene
as if it had been o o'clock on cool
Monday morning, came forward to wait
upon the customers.
Something was said Of the heat, and
the ladies suggested that the day must
be hard. oh, no. she disclaimed, I'm
not tired. We haven't been very busy
today She was charming in attending
to what the purchasers wanted without
being in the least oficious, and bade
them good evening in the most courte-
Gus manner. 4 shall buy all my notions
at that store hereafter; want to meet
that girl again, said one of the ladies as
they walked home. Was she not
charming responded the other. 'Inever
want to go to u disagreeable clerk twice,
and | always enjoy buying my things Of
clerks like that girl, who serve one at

put as long as one hanging pocket lost
in the folds Of her dress, as it usually
is, must hold all her belongings, she
must make spectacle Of herself at these
critical moments.
Men have innumerable pockets, and
are thus able to devote one to a neces-
sity, the little change pocket in the
waistcoat or trousers waistband seeming
to worried woman the most desirable
of the lot. There should be pocket
reform association for women" and one
of its rules should be that no member
should be eligible who could not at any
time out of doors show three pockets
about her attire, each one accessible
without the evolutions Of an acrobat,
Following this should come the abolition
of the monstrosity known as the ladies'
purse, big ungainly thing that cumbers
her pocket or burdens her hands, and
has no cause for being whatsoever.
A tiny pouch that will fit in tiny
fiat pocket somewhere about her coat or
gown will carry change enough for a
days travel; another small, fiat case
will carry bills folded, if she must carry
them, which in these days of G. o. d.
packages is really not necessary, and that
is all. Purses are usually punched out

pensable in a trip about the city.-Her

WOMAN'S WORLD.
A WOMAN DESIGNED THE BADGE FOR
THE WORLDS FAIR BOARD.

frousseaus for Hire-An Appeal for the
pills of Juiien-Adieu, Long Skirts-The
Courtesy of Saieswomen.
The board of lady managers of the
Worlds Columbian commission has just
awarded the prize for the best design
for national badge to be worn by the
members of the board at the Worlds
fair in Chicago. The competition was
open to women only, and PAT designs
We're submitted. At meeting Of the
commission held last July Mrs. Potter
Palmer, the president of the ladies'
board, appointed the following commit
tee to select the badge:
Mrs. Ralph Trautman, of New York,
chairman; Mrs. Martha B. Stevens, of
Hoboken; Mrs. Ellen M. Chandler, of
Pomfret, VT; Mrs. Francis E. Hale, of
Cheyenne, Wy, Mrs. Eva Douglass
Wise, of Virginia; Mrs. Melissa D. Oh
ney. of Olympia, Wash; Mrs. ]. s. r.
Thomson, Of Spartanburg, s. c., and
Mrs. M. N Stevens, of Portland, Me.
The chairman issued circular, which
she had published in newspapers all over
the country, calling upon women to
compete for the design, and in response
TO this call numerous artistic drawings
were received. Out of the PAT designs
submitted ten were finally selected by
the committee, and these were submit
ted to Augustus st. Gaudens for his
judgment. He selected the design of
Miss Martha d. Bassey, Of $40 East
Eighty-sixth street, New York, and she
accordingly received the fifty dollars
awarded
Miss Bassey was born in this city and
was graduated from Grammar school
No. 80 in 1877. She afterward studied
In the Cooper institute for two years and
was then employed by Tiffany g. Co. in
the designing department. She is the
only woman in the department. Both
Mr.. St. Gaudens and the superintendent
of the designing department Of Tiffany
& Co. were very much gratifed at Miss
Bassey's success.
The badge is in the form of an indented
square, with a globe in the center, and
above a raised representation Of Colum-
bus caravel. Above and connected with
it by small chains are three bars bearing
the name and title of each commissioner
and her state. The badges will be made
Of either gold or silver, and the words
on the bars will be in red, white and
blue enamel. Around the edge of the
medal will be the words, Board of Lady
Managers of the Worlds Columbian
Commission, created by act of Congress
of the United States of America and or
ganized 1890" Below is the motto,
"Juncti Valemus."
Miss Bassey has been commissioned
by the state board to make the design
for their official seal. The design Of
Miss Sarah Winthrop Smith, of Seymour,
Conn, received the honorable mention
of the commission.
The board Of lady managers has de-
cided to give diamond studded badge
to Miss Sophie Haydan, the architect Of
the Woman's building of the Chicago ex-
position. York Advertiser.

Trousseaus for Hire.

Here is little story which should
gladden. the heart Of psterfamilias and
convey valuable hint to those about to
become English wives" An uncle
promised his niece wedding dress when
ever she should stand in need of that
commodity. The suspicious day on
which such an article would be neces-
sary hove in sight, and the uncle, true
TO his pledge, presented the young lady
with check for fifty pounds with which
TO make herself beautiful at the impor-
tant event. The young lady, wisely re-
solving to have competent advice on so
momentous a subject. conferred with
friend who had some six months previous
herself become an English wife. IAN
expensive wedding dress is an odious ex-
travagance," quoth the youthful matron.

at was, but IL is a white elephant

it since. And my husband calls it a
'beastly thing and says it will never be
any use until he's dead and go to the
hymeneal altar again. I'll sell it to you
for third of what it cost"
at would just fit me. Our figures are
80 alike. And the rest of the costume,
dear?"
You can have the whole affair-veil,
shoes, all None has ever seen daylight
since my wedding"
A long pause ensued. The maiden was
considering the offer. Presently she
said: "rll tell you what I'll do. don't
believe I'll buy wedding dress at all.
I'll hire yours for the occasion just rs
people hire their flowers for the same
ceremonies. How much will you take

And this thrifty young damsel became
an English wife in an exquisite costume,
which was glowingly described in all
the ladies' and fashion papers, but for
the use Of which she paid only two
pounds sterling. And already from
this small beginning there is springing
up an industry which consists in the ap-
plication of the "hire system" to we'd
ding costumes.-St. James Budget

Made Him Paw.

August Strindberg, the Danish poet,
is famous for his hatred of women. This
aversion seems to be uncomfortable at
times, and often leads the author into
difficulty. Not long ago he happened to
meet lady at the house of friend, and
taking hold of her threw her from the
veranda. The poor woman, who was
injured, brought suit against the ungal-
liant writer He was condemned to pay
the plaintiff 115 gulden, with 200 gulden
as costs OF the proceedings. The case
has caused much talk in Germany

Rabies and Their Clothes.

Within the last few years babies have
had vogue they have not enjoyed In a
number of years. The condescension Of
Lady Alexandria Duff, the Prince of
Wales grandchild, gave the movement
its first prominence, but it was the baby
of the Duchess Of Portland that first
showed what an ornamental feature it
could be in well equipped household,
and is turned on, as one might say, at
the most effective moment in the draw
ing room, as are the electric lights.
On this side of the water babies have
been no less prominent novelty, and
conspicuously SO in the persons Of little
Miss Cleveland and the babies Oelrichs,
Astor and Hamersley. AS persons of
fashion, once more their clothes have
new consequence. This does not take
the direction of elaboration, but Of
daintiness. The sewing machine, that
has almost overcome the needle, has
never taken its place in making baby
clothes. 1t is their distinction to be
made by hand. Here at least senti-
ment has kept its place in the teeth Of
haste. II the mother no longer puts
her own hopes and visions into the
clothes of her baby, she keeps the illu-
sion of having done so by having her
baby clothes made by hand. The max
ing of baby wardrobes has in fact largely
fallen into the hands Of women in their
own homes. There are women reduced
to the necessity of earning money, but
who, unframed in any direction, have
revived the fine handiwork and graceful
stitches they learned in making the
clothes Of their own babies. New York

Pupils of Julien.

Mile. Breslau, who was distinguished
in Julien's studio as the successful rival
of Marie Bashkirtsef, and who, without
effort, succeeded in arousing the jeal-
ousy Of the self satisfied little Russian,
is one Of the greatest portrait painters
in France. French critics treat her
work with as much seriousness and con-
sideration as though she were really a
man. Even the radiant beauty Of the
Bashkirtseff and the extreme plainness
of Mile. Breslau could not blind the
master, Julien, to the fact that the lat
ter was the most able and advanced of
his woman pupils.
In this same class, too, was the Polish
princess, Terka Jabloneska. who has
since distinguished herself by trans
forming the greatest Of living actresses
into a grandmother. This honor, by the
way, Bernhardt accepts very gracefully,
and rides about the streets Of Paris with
her little grandson on her knee, appar-
emily more proud Of her new distinction
than of any Of the honors lavished upon
her oy two worlds. One Of our New
York artists, too, had the rare good for
tune to belong to this now famous class
of Julien's-Miss Helen Phelps, whose
"reminiscences Of the i'll fated and beau
tiful Marie are most piquant and charm
ing. Miss Phelps is a New England
girl, which makes it perhaps the more
remarkable that her speciality in art is
painting from the nude, and she is now
in France painting from the undraped
model in retired corner of beautiful
ldgarden in neutrality-suspicious., under
the criticism of Collin.-Exchange

objects. He found them to be tin cans of
great weight, and opening them they were
found to contain gold pieces. The con.
tents We're counted, and 81 300 rolled on
the ground. Jones. though a poor day
laborer, was not tempted by the glittering
heap. but brought the treasure to the Bank
of San Bernardino and deposited it for
identification by the owner. The money
has evidently been hanging in the tree but
a short time, as week ago the same tree
was partially trimmed. There are all sorts
of conjectures rs to how the treasure came
TO be placed there. Many suppose that
Conner. the embezzler from Grand Forks,

this tree the hiding place for some of tho
