graphs there displayed. They were
mainly of army friends, young fellows
in whom he felt slight interest at any
time and none at all now. So were those
in the basket on the round table. Brew
ster was popular, if one were to judge
by the array Of pictures that had been
sent to him by their prototypes. Then
there was large, handsome album lying
open on the desk near the, window.
Turning listlessly thither Rolfe gave
shrug of the shoulders, something al
most like a shudder, at sight of the pho
tograph which lay uppermost, a cabinet
portrait, highly FURNISHED and finished,
of an exuberant woman in evening dress.
In that neighborhood everybody knew
her by sight. He himself had received
invitations in her hand to lunch or to
dinner. He knew the writing of the
note that lay beside the album, first page
uppermost. He would have had no eyes
at alIshad he not seen the Carroll, mon
ami" with which it began. With a
shiver of disgust he whirled over page
of the album, as though to cover and
hide the beguiling face, the betraying
words, and then Brewster came bound
ing back and in. Rolfe's hand was still
on the album as he turned to face him.

Mime. Patti and Her Voice.

The not unexpected announcement is
made that Nine. Patti has contracted
for another farewell tour" in the
United States. The price named is
5000 for each OF forty concerts, and
the stipulation is added that Patti shall
engage, in letter written by herself, to
make this her positively last farewell"
Patti will be fifty years old before she
sets out ON this tour, which is to begin
in November, 1893, and this fact may go
to justify the belief that its farewell
character at last is genuine.
One of the most remarkable things
about this wonderful voice Of PATHS is
its endurance against the wear and en-
croachment of years. Age has touched
it, as all who heard her in Mechanic
hall the last season know to their regret.

A Woman's Immense Project.

1t is Camden woman, now in Chi
cago-Mrs. N. E. Beasley by name-who
claims to have perfect plan" for trans
porting grain by means of an iron pipe
line. We are told that the project sis
still in its incipiency," but Mrs. Beasley
is confident of final success. Mrs. B.
does not betray all her plans to the pub
lie, but womanlike, not being able to
wholly keep the secret, she favors MS
with hint Of her railroad killing prof.
ect.
She tells us that the grain is to be car
ried ''in continuous ventilated shaft,
without friction; q stream of grain to
move twelve miles an hour" The sta
tions which are to supply the motive
power are to be twenty five miles apart,
and the cost of constructing and equip
ping line from Buffalo to the seaboard
is placed at $4,000, 900. A working
model is to be erected in Chicago this
fall.
This is no Worlds fair scheme, but a
legitimate commercial enterprise. At
least Mrs. Beasley so informs us.-New
York Advertiser.

sne greater scope Of the mind accuD-
toned to higher education, that is not
US charming in the eyes of outsiders as
tine more quiet demeanor of those who
have not quite such advanced ideas.
1t is no unusual sight to see a girl
move back and forth frantically in a
rocking chair in full view of the public
in hotel corridor, and with every mo-
ton throw her feet out in unison. Now,
the feet may be the prettiest In the
world, but it is quite unnecessary to put
them so very much in evidence. They
will not escape notice if they are worth
being seen, and unless the young woman
is practicing for season Of high kick
ing, in which case her room would be
the more approved place for rehearsal,
it would look much better, according to
old fogy notions, to not be quite so ready
to show her pedal extremities.
Girls also cross their limbs, which,
though nightly comfortable, is not ex-
actly the attitude Of lady. Many a
one in the exuberance of her spirits will
run down a hotel piazza or the board
walk utterly regardless of the show she
is making of herself. Loud laughter
and an abundance of slang are points to
be corrected, for no matter how the men
seem to enjoy such behavior, you may
be certain they will select for wives
girls who show none of these noticeable
tendencies.-Phi Philadelphia Times.

An Exhibition of Feminine Arts.

The Palais de rIndustrie in the
Champs Elysees, an international exhi-
bition of feminine arts, was opened on
Monday at Paris. NJ. Marious Vachon,
the director general of the exhibition,
said on Monday afternoon: 1.-THE exhi-
bition of jewelry exceeds in value that
made ON the Champ de Mars in 1885,
1t contains many curious objects which
once belonged to celebrated women of
the past. The museums of Prague,
Vienna, London, Pesth, ETC., have sent
many contributions. The BARRIERS of
Paris are represented by eighty wax
busts, fully illustrating the history Of
hairdressing. One Of the most interest
ing features is the international history
of feminine costume. Rosa Bonheur is
the honorary president of the art sec
ton of the exhibition, and the mothe,

The Brute.

A Belfast (Me.) woman got indignant
the other day at the shabby appearance
of the lawn about her house. After
moving down her husband with wrath,
she was soon on the lawn herself with
the lawn mower. Back and forth she
pushed the machine, while the sun
beamed soft and melting on the down
trodden woman and everything else.
From shady nook her husband timidly
watched her determined display. For
an hour, in which she must have trav-
eled a dozen miles, she worked, but, sad
to relate, not blade of grass bowed to
her indignant endeavors.
Finally her husband picked up cour-
age enough to address her, Hadn't you
better turn the machine over, my dear?'
She did turn the machine over-into the
gutter-and swept into the house with
look that kept her husband at II distance
for several days.-Lewiston Journal.

when she arrived there were fifty.six
pieces of luggage to be brought up from
the station. Nearly all of the pieces
were trunks, and in each trunk there
were at least three gowns. and in many

Rings mt Recent Weddings.

The old fashioned notion of ring in
the brides cake is being revived at
fashionable weddings. At recent
wedding there was besides ring q
dainty gold thimble as we'll, which was
a pretty enough wedding favor, but

her waiting bridesmaids there was

To yyhiten the Face.

Do you know anybody who is freckled,
or are you bit freckled yourself by the
sun or wind? Try this simple recipe,
which is said to remove the worst cases.
Sal ammoniac, two drains; German
cologne, ono dram, and distilled water,
one pint. Apply two or three times a
day.
A very good simple face tonic for this
warm weather is ten drops of benzoin
to one of rosewater. Put q few drops
into the washbowl when bathing the
face. 1t will both soften and whiten
the skin.

Influence of One woman,s Club.

The Chautauqua County Political
Equality club was organized four years
ago, with eleven local auxiliary clubs;
it now has twenty-four auxiliaries with
a membership of 1,400, consisting of
both men and women, with Mrs. E. M.
Babcock, wife of Superintendent j. w.
Babcock, of the Dunkirk public schools,
as president. The aim of this club is to
secure to women an equal recognition
with men in every department of life,
principally political life, believing that
the best government can be attained
only when both men and women exert
an equal influence in making and ex-
ecuting its laws.
The women composing the club have
made a thorough study of our national
government and are well acquainted
with its present and past. They have
penetrated into the greenroom, and be-
lieve that when woman sits and passive
ly views what goes on upon the stage,
knowing that it is but the tawdry gild-
ing of much that is false and destructive
to mankind, she is derelict in her high.

winter this club got the bill passed
which allows women to vote for school

People of refinement choose for their
bathing costumes those which, while
they are most comfortable and permit
the greatest freedom of the body, are
yet absolutely modest. We read and
occasionally see very elaborate suits of
white and pink and those that are
trimmed until they seem better suited
for a Roman chariot race than sea
bath. However, very darl, blue or black
coarse serge or flannel makes the most
comfortable suit, and perfect modesty is
achieved when this suit is in two pieces:
that is, the trousers which reach Just
below the knees, and the bodice, which
comes up well about the throat and has
elbow sleeves, are in combination, max
ing one, while over this is worn the short
skirt which fastens to buttons about the
waist, the mode of attachment being
hidden under canvas belt.
Long, black wool stockings are in
order. and if you are going to bathe
much and wish to keep them from
wearing out it will be wise to get them
q size larger, and to insert in their feet
the soles sold in the stores for knitted
slippers. tits best to wear rubber cap,
and so protect ones hair from salt wa
ter, because this is certain in time to
injure it, though one often sees articles
recommending the salt bath for the hair.

Where Women Are Good swimme mers.

The fair bathers at Atlantic City out
number the swimmers of the sterner
sex by at least ten to one. Time was
when very few girls had the courage to
venture in the ocean above the belt, and
as for diving and wetting the head the
idea was never even entertained. The
society girl would make her toilet as
carefully on going into the surf as she
would in going to ball. The hair
would be curled daintily and the fit of
the bathing suit above the waist was as
exquisitely particular as could be found
in ballroom dress. 1t is the fad now
adays to swim, and to swim well. The
greater the proficiency the nearer the
lovely disciple of Neptune stands to the
top of the ladder of fashion. The num-
ber of proficient swimmers In Atlantic
City this summer who are society wom-
en- is larger than ever before. They go
to the ocean now to swim and not to
pose.-Atlantic City Letter.

last evening. "His wife, you know, is
a white woman, very highly cultivated

one of the gentlest, most retiring of
women.
''Mr. Douglass always addresses her
as Cousin Ellen. l fancy she was

Suffrage for Women.

We suppose lawyers will be divided
on the question of comforting the parlia-
mentary suffrage upon women. 1t is
difficult, however, to see how the legis-
lature can logically leave women where
they are. For purposes of civil rights
and liabilities, all single women are
upon the same footing as men; so are all
married women havinga separate estate,
by the express enactment of parliament.
Nothing but sentiment can be opposed
to the natural conclusion that all women
having the qualification should be en-
titled tovote for members of parliament.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
CARVING DONE BY WOMEN FOR
WORLDS FAIR BUILDINGS.

The Bathing Costume-Innuence Of q
Giri-A Woman's Immense Project.
Patti and Her voice-Timely Notes.
A casual caller on the Worlds fair
lady managers would wonder consider
ably at the appearance of their offices.
The curious thing about them is the
abundance of what seems at first glance
to be piles of boards scattered about the
rooms. Entering the Office Of Mrs. Susan
Gale Cooke, the secretary of the man.
ayers, the eye falls instantly upon big
Office table in the middle of the room al
most covered with stacks of these boards.
Against the wall, just inside the door,
is another pile of the mysterious lum-
ber. On the top of the secretary's desk
is another group. All these boards are
carved panels contributed by women all
over the country for the interior decora-
tion of the Womans building. Every
one of these carvings was donated out
right to the board, and the scope of this
generosity included Alaska as well as
Alabama, Oregon as we'll as Ohio.
Among the very first in point of beauty
is the Alabama panel sent by Miss Mary
H. Norton, of Montgomery. The de-
sign is the magnolia blossom and leaves,
conventionalized, and yet executed with
a boldness, freedom of the lines, that
makes it instantly attractive. To one
who has seen the magnificent southern
tree abloom the design brings memory
of the very flower itself. The leaves
are not finished to the last degree in the
carving; all the cutting bears traces of
a strong, free hand. 1t is o marvel
ously fine piece of work when one con-
siders that the girl who executed it had
never had any lessons in the art save
few given by visiting relative. A
pleasant sequel is told of the reception
of the panel. Its evident strength at
tracted Mrs. Cookies attention, and
through her it was learned that Miss
Norton has sister who is an artist and
designer. The correspondence culmi-
mated in negotiations that will result In
the finishing Of room in the Woman's
building by Alabama women. The de-
signs will be furnished by Miss Norton's
sister, even to the wall paper, frieze and
dado Of the room.
A pleasant story is told of the Cali
fornia panel, carved by Miss Randall,
of San Francisco. AS with the Alabama
piece, Mrs. Cooke acknowledged the re-
ceipt of Miss Randalls carving and ad-
vised one of the California lady man.
ayers to see Miss Randall and get her to
undertake some work for the California
room in the Woman's building. This
was done, and the San Francisco girl
has commission to do the carving for
a piano and mantel which are to adorn
the room.
Still another story comes with the
Arkansas contribution. 1t is fine de-
sign, conventional oak with exquisite
traceries and tendrils, and was carved
by Miss Matte Tallant, of the Little
Rock Deaf and Dumb school. The donor
is a protege of Mrs. Eagle, wife of the
governor.-Chicago News.

Be Careful What You


In speaking of another's faults.
Pray, don't forget your own;
Remember those in homes of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
II we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults, and who has mott
Tho old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of n better plan,
And find it works full we'll
To try my own defects to cure
Before of others tell.
And though sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
Tho faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To slander friend or foe,
Think of tho harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, 'roost at home"
Don't speak of Others faults until
We have none of our own.

SANDER.
Twas but II breath
And yet a woInan's fair name wilted,
And friends once warm grew cold and stilted,
And life was worse than death.
One venomed word
That struck its coward, poisoned blow,
In craven whispers hushed and low
And yet the wide world heard.
Twas but one whisper-one
That muttered low for very shame,
That thing the slanderer dare not name,
And yet its work was done.
A hint so light,
And yet SO mighty in its power,
A human soul in one short hour
Lies crushed beneath its blight.
