AWoman Wood Carer.

Miss Brown of Pittsfield, Mass. is
making a fortune as n wood carver, or
wood sculptor, as it is proper now to
call the artist who works in that mate
rial. In the first place, she had natu-
raj adaptation for the work. In the
next place, she trained herself as thor
oughly as a sculptor in marble or a
painter ever did by patient study and
practice of years. Then her shrewd
business instincts led her to make the
acquaintance of the wealthy city people
who were building splendid summer
residences in the Berkshire hills. She
is occupied from year to year in carving
and decorating the interiors of these
mansions. Transcript.

Women Who shun the Camera.

Mime. Carnot is by no means the only
woman who refuses to be photographed.
Mrs. John Sherman has not had a pic
ture taken since she was quite young.
1t is the custom for the cabinet officers
and their wives to have a group for a
gift to the president, but Mrs. Sherman
would not yield her prejudice even on
that occasion. Mrs. Olney, the wife of
the attorney general, is another Ameri-
can woman who has not faced the cam
era for a good many years. Her husband
had shared her antipathy toward picture
taking, but during the campaign yield
ed to the demands for his photograph,
but Mrs. Olney remained firm in her
declination.

Interesting InSermatioa.
Superintendent James L. Hughes Of
Toronto recently delivered lecture on
Aurora Leigh, tho Ideal Woman Of
the Ideal Women" $ie regarded Au-
rora Leigh rs an ideal woman chiefly
because she refused to marry Romney
Leigh, who. though a wealthy. attract
i've. cultured, unselfish, chivalrous
christian gentleman, claimed presump-
tuously that woman should sacrifice
her individuality in marriage. Mr..
Hughes strongly commended Aurora's
decision to Live her soul straight out''
in defiance Of prejudices and conven-
tionalities. He urged all women to he
true to the two vital elements of noble
manhood and womanhoOd-lov and in
dividuality-andn never allow them to
conflict.
In the course Of his lecture he severe
~ criticised many of the conventional
Ideas regarding marriage and the AFRO
gance OF men in assuming tho right to
marry woman on any conditions but
those of perfect equality. He related
with considerable humor his own expe-
riencc when he received salutary les
son from Mrs. WOlcott, treasurer of the
Association For the Advancement of
Women. He gave Mrs. Wolcott a card
on which no had written his wife's
name as Mrs. James L. Hughes" She
promptly returned it to him with the
plain statement, There could not DO
such woman"
Mr.. Hughes thought women should
not give up their own names after mar
riage, hut should at least use them in
union with the husbands name. He
expressed approval of the course of Hen
~ 3. Blackwell and Lucy Stone. who,
as protest against the subordination
of the wife, decided that she should re-
tain her own honored name through
life. He made n touching reference to
the death of Lucy Stone and paid high
tribute to her for her noble work to
give liberty to the negroes and to secure
equal rights for women, closing with
the words: Brave, eloquent Lucy Stone,
sweet as she was strong! What an an

modest, loving, motherly woman was

A Remarkable Traveller.

Mrs. Adelia Gates, whose life and
travels are described in THE Chroni-
cles of the Cid. has had a career which
would be remarkable if it were not that
of an American woman. She never con-
sidered herself too young or too old to
do anything which she thought worth
while. Born in New England, she went
through the experience of Lowell mill
hand, district schoolteacher and gen.
eral houseworker. At SO she began
Latin, to fit for college. while earning
the necessary money ty two years hard
work rs a maker of birdcages. At so
she became a professional flower painter
and at Go began her travels.
She managed to go everywhere and
see everything on slender means. She
made her way to Sahara, the Holy Land,
Iceland, Egypt ard all over the CONT
nent. When her money was almost
gone. she was contented with deck pas
sage on any sort of a boat, a third class
passage on train or a single pony and
no baggage when other travellers needed
n caravan. She naturally saw and
learned more than ordinary travellers.

Maids Versus Footmcn.

Several years ago W. w. Astor, in a
magazine article on Chicago, sneered
at the would Ike elegance Of that city's
best houses, where, as he said, the door
was opened by a maid instead Of a foot
man. This terrible calamity. strange
to cay, has been turned in these few
months to desirable thing. 1t is a fact
that the trim, white capped maid is
more and more superseding the footman
in other grand houses in other places
than Chicago. Mr.. Astor's ban should
be promptly removed.

men students are accepted is in the

ribbons pinned on the cloth. Across
the center of the table was stretched a
net of white silk, fastened to two posts
of polished walnut wood, supported by
white silk cords. The flag of the court
in which the eventful game had been
played waved from one post. and a red
silk bag containing miniature tennis
balls lay near the net.

four little posts inclosed the whole in a
manner similar to which match courts
are roped off. The menu cards were or
namented with tennis designs, while the
guests cards all bore appropriate ten
