TIE womsn's question. says the New
vo-k Times, is the paramount question Of
- dsv. and in its varied interpretations is
:. in,sresting now as In the days when Dr.
q Holland included the theme among
- lectures. After his woman lecture in a
Naw England town. where emancipation
tad been embraced to considerable extent,
: young lady who was engaged in the study
- medicine said to him: doctor. what
,-ou ssy is very good for women who have
t,shands and children. but what do you
saw TO those Of US who have noneT"
aIsay get them," answered the Doctor.
Anropos of the woman question it may be
-.-,,nent TO ask why, n the name OF all
tthat il reasonable, is it any more dangerous
- society for woman to neglect certain
.Iifsly duties once included within the
',,bsre of action than for a man to shirk all
rorne responsibilities except that OF growI-
-, abont the things the woman leave q
,.,tedoneq Now in the humble homes which
ths man writer and lecturer extols so elo.
ousntly. where the ideal wife looks well to
tba wsvs OF her household. the husband
t,pdles the fires, sweeps the walks, splits
the kindlings, brings up the coal, does the
rnsrkeling, and lends hand on Mondays
Who kindles the fires In the city house
holdl
The maid servant.
Who scrubs the stoops and pavements7
The man servant.
Who mends the broken lock or reduces
the refractory hingesl
The ocksmith.
Who does the marketing and settles the
bills and hears the growing because they
are larger than they were last week.
The wife.
What particular use is the city husband
In the household anyway
"Just to pay for things and find fault" {"
one exssperated wife says.
And why is IL 80 much more to be deplored
that the wife doesn't do her own cooking if
she can earn more money at something else
than that the man should not mako his own
trousers and split the kindlings evenings
instead OF going to his clubl
few years ago, says the New York
Sun, q New York man milliner went ip>
sane; his reason had been tortured away by
the complaint of his customers. Thev ex-
pec;ed him to make bonuets that would
keep them eternally young and beautiful,
and, rash man. he promised to do IT,!
To be perfectly candid, must claim that
few women wear becoming bear-gear, and
the fault lies not so much in shape as il
does in tone. There must be harmony be-
tween your coloring and the tone of your
bonnet. You must endesvor to match your
peculiar complexion. To an artist a
woman's hair. eyes and coloring give out
dominant tone. 1t may be ashen, it NAV
be yellow. 1t may be olive, it may be dead
white, but anyway your head-gear should
bsrmonize and not clash with it. Having
once ascertained what goes best with your
peculiar coloring, then you may begin to
experiment. in forms. but not until then.
Nainsook and cambria embroideries for
trimming cotton dresses arc III open designs,
copying those Of the fashionable laces-Ge-
nca point, guipure, etc. They come in ecru
and pure white in matching patterns of four
or five different widths. Some have nearly
straight edges, with shallow scalIops; others
are pointed, with each point made up OF
three, five or seven scallops; while still 9TH
ers are merely edged with eyelets or loops.
Scroll patterns. stars, wheels and compass
designs, diamonds, ovals and Erelises
are favorite embroideries, wide
enough to make the entire waist of
the gown, or its yoke and sleeves, or
else corselet be worn over full-gathered
eorsage. Ribbon embroideries, with button-
hole spaces for drawing ribbons through,
promise to be even moro popular than they
we're last season, and they come in all
widths, from that like narrow beading
to insertions an inch or so wide. Diagonal
effects are now in open embroidered stripes,
with wheels, stars or blossoms wrought in
between. For close work the flower basket,

woman was hurrying down Vermont
street to ward Niagara the other afternoon,
says the Buffalo Cypress, to catch an
electric car. With little running she
reached the crossing ahead Of the car, but
the motorman was too comfortably leaning
on the window and looking out to be dis
tur6ed for one passenger, so he did not stop.
ehe looked at him wrathfully for few SEQ
onds. Then she turned to a couple Of ragged
urcnlns standing near and said:
Little boys, do either of you swear7"
The youngsters hesitated.
m DON'T be afraid to say 30 If you do.
There's chance for you to earn a nickel by
We'll, y see, ma'am," began one, "when

Yes, l know" she interrupted. "You
can both swear like pirates, I've no doubt.
rlease relieve my feelings by swearing at
mat car which has just passed and I'll give
you each a nickel"
The boys caught the idea instantly. and
eaplng into the middle of the track they
SOCK their fists after the rapidly vanishing
car and ripped out volleys which would
nave done justice to Capt. Kidd himself.
ine woman listened with grim satisfaction

sIers back, she said:
That will do. Here's your money. feel
sgreat deal better now"
and she returned to the sidewalk to wait
Tor another car.
