summer to poor women and children
from the city. She has systematized this
for the last nine summers, so that each
day she has given an outing to eight
mothers from the purlieus of New York,
each mother bringing her child or that

have not had a glimpse of the country for
20 years. Two carriages bring them from
the railway station. There is house on
the grounds where they are entertained;
refreshments are given them three times

More Threatening Than Crinoline.

The disposition to alter the shoulder
line of low dresses is more threatening
than crinoline. English women have
always had reason to be proud of their
finely nodded shoulders. In consequence
the low dress of 1880, seen in old fash
ioned portraits of the young Queen Vic
toria and the portraits of Jenny Lind,
which once were so familiar to this coun-
try, always had greater vogue in Eng
land than elsewhere. Frenchwomen have
always uncovered their shoulders spar
ingly. This was partly through that
artistic instinct in dress which the French
possess above other nations, and which
warns them that the hard line carried
arou ! the shoulder and seemingly to
ampurate the neck and head is trying
and inartistic.
The exception was the Empress Eu-
genie, whose sloping shoulders were re-
markable among women, and who dis
played them lavishly. Otherwise the v
shaped corsage has always had greater
vogue in France. American women
have no standing rule in the matter.
They have followed in this matter the
fashions of France rather than those of
England. The proposition now to dis
miss the shoulder strap and expose the
shoulders is before them and is much
more imminent than crinoline. The
spectacle of a scraggy neck rising out OF
mass of chiffon and lace is one before
which we may well pause.-San Fran
cisco Argonaut.

Feminine Votes Elect Handsome Man.
The women of Rio Grande taught their
husbands, brothers and sweethearts a
political trick or two in the election of
school trustee on Tuesday night They
claimed that their rights were being
trampled in the sand by their lords and
masters, and boldly announced that
they intended to rectify the wrong by
electing a school trustee pledged to their
interests.
They put forward as their champion
Charles W. Saul, the handsome station
agent of the West Jersey railroad, who
has endeared himself to every female
heart in the place by his obligingmann
as we'll as his good looks. Saul willingly
accepted the honor, and the women start
ed in to win. They canvassed the entire
district. AS a consequence the women
were at the polls in force
The main portion of the community
were jealous of Saul and picked out
their best man, in the person of Squire
F. N. Harris, to run against him. Al
though the men hustled for votes, they
could not match the winning ways of
the women, and several masculine back
numbers refused to vote at all if the
women did. When the ballots were
counted, Saul was found to have been
elected by a majority of 10.-Cape Nav
