large majority. The good work done
among the native women In India, where
the employment Of men is impossible,
owing to the religious preiudices OF the
natives, the high standing attained by
women in trying examinations, their
/ success in actual practice, the eStao-
/ lishment OF hospitals Differed aud ad-
ministered by qualified women, are said
/ 10 be the causes instrumental In bring
/ ing about the recognition Of the woman
physician, and not the resolutions OF
wOmen'S societies or the insistence OF
woman refOrmers.
The sporting girl may be interested
in knowing that Champion COrbett has
one Of the prettiest little wives In the
nation with a handsome figure and
quantity Of much-cOveted golden hair.
! Like COrbett'S parents, she is not at all
pleased with her husbands vocation,
and has used every argument to dis
suade him from entering the profess
/ sional ring. Still, she is loyal little
woman and wife, and, If her Jim VIII
/ fight, she wants him TO knock the
other fellow into a cooked hat, and she
/ is sure he will do so, too, every time.
L
A young Southern woman, Elizabeth
I Brown Davis, stands among the fore
most mathematicians of the country In
mathematical accuracy and skill. The
| first mathematical work of Importance
accomplished by Mrs. Davis was that OF
reading the proofs and verifying the
/ calculations Of Prof. Simon Newcomers
| Calculus. Later, when the computer
| Of the Nautical Almanac died, Mrs.
/ Davis entered the competitive examina-
/ ton which was TO determine his sue
/ ceSsOr in company with dozen men.
/ Within three hours every man, all COL
/ lege graduates, left the room van
\ ouished By the mathematical and as
/ Economical problems with which they
/ were confronted, but the girl OF nine
/ teen answered every question, solved
every problem, won for her papers the
rare 400 plus" from the committee,
and received the place at 81, 200 a year.
/ After graduating from the Columbian
University. Mrs. Davis married and re-
signed her place on the Nautical Al
manac, though she kept the contract
/ for calculating the ephemeris OF the sun,
aud her calculations are ahead now up
/ TO 1896.
From six to eight young women will
/ avail themselves of the privilege grant
ed TO them by Tufts College this year.
/ Four rooms are to be given TO them for
study rooms and reading parlor. They
will be admitted with all the rights OF
/ men, have the same instructors, and sit
/ with the men in the class r0mmS.
| Housekeeping schools seem TO flour
/ ish more generally on the other side Of
| the sea than with us. The Swedish
/ schools may be called the pioneers, one
Of these supporting restaurant for
about one hundred people. In France
/ this branch Of study is TO degree con-
trolled by the State, and the aim is to
/ teach girls self-supporting occupation.
/ London has ninety-fOur model kitchens,
attended by nearly 10000 pupils, who
prepare food for sale. Germany has the
| greatest number of these schools, with
practical courses, including washing,
| ironing, cooking, the cleaning Of rooms,
etc.
The Empire influence is strongly
manifest in outdoor garments OF all
| kinds. Velvets will be used extensive
| ly, rich cOlOrings will be affected, and
| ornate decoration will be employed. So
/ greatly are individuality ana originality
/ desired in the matter of design that
each large firm employs its own design
/ ers, but the general tending Of The
| SJdely varied designs indicates thai
I Iong a2ntles COVERING the dress com
pletely win tak@ precedence Of short
cloaks.
\ In bonnets there is little new just
now except that they are increasing in
size, especially at the sides, and are
heavily ornamented with jet and rich
gallon of different kinds. Hats have
superseded bOnnets very generally, even
for elderly ladies and matrons. When
the cold weather is really upon Us
doubtless the bonnet will be restored &c
favor. Butterfly bows in ribbon and
velvet will be popular in millinery, and
there is a tendency to trimming head
gear OF all kinds high in front. Shot
velvets, tartans, and parti-colUred ma
terials are among the importatons fol
fall hats, and will doubtless continue tC
a certain extent throughout the season
Corded silk caDeS matching handsome
costumes are among the fall belongings
of tall women. They are finished will
a flaring collar of modified height, OF
with petit able" hoods of velvet
Why does not some modiSte introduce
the snug ueliSSeS trimmed with fur tha
were really worn with the Empire
! dresses in JoSephine's time, and the
coSey lcng mutfs which hide the hands
and half the arms? How much more
graceful and comfortable are they thar
the tapping monstroSities now preva
lent?
The mania for rainbow effects has
broken out again in velvetS whose tone:
range from bright cherry red through
harmonious browns 10 q deep olive
green. A plain brown gown with sleeve:
and possibya panel graduated and Dor
dered with mink would make hand
some autumn costume.
Among new boots the smartest is the
heavy calf Butcher, laced, which will
be worn by every fsshionably right
minded woman with her tailor gown
when she walks. These boots must be
BACKED like mans, so the day oil
French dressing is over. For rainy days
oddly enough, russell leather shoes are
considered the proper choice. They
have pointed toes and common sense
flat heels.
And with the tailor gown will be
worn, too, the new russell leather glove,
with its distinctive odor and Dent fas-
Jennings. Light shades, especially white,
in suede will be chosen for evening, and
for dresSy day wear pearl or light tan
will be preferred to the dark tints, ex-
I cept in the Russia gloves mentioned.
