humor with which she accepts the nu-
merous petty annoyances that every
change Of medium implies and which
put the best characters on trial. She
| submits to them without efforts and
cr1ticises them without bitterness; she
Is, further, prepared for them by her
| education, and does not expect to find
everything easy. Then, the necessity
| of manual labor does not seem to her
like a degrading condition; at most
only one Or two generations separate
| her from the time when her grand
mother kneaded the family gread in the
primitive settlements. These stories are
| lamlllar to her, and the lessons deduced
from them are not discourag ging or ilu-
ulllatlng. She is the daughter of q
race or emlgrants who have become a
great people through work, energy and
! determnatlon. She has in this at her
command whole treasury of tradi-
Clons from which she draws, not with
out pride. We nigh say, in listening to
these stories, that we were hearing one
OF those grandes danes Of the past GEN.
Jury, emlgrants and poor, telling with

their wants, they worked in London or
IN Germany, utilizing their accomplish
ments and their correct taste, and
making trimmings and embroidered
robes with their own aristocratic hands.
! On Wheels Through England.
Miss Carrie L. Hodsdon of Lawrence.
Mass, and Miss Edith NJ. Kenniston Of
Concord, N. H., are making a bicycle
tour Of England for press syndicate,
and are incidentally demonstrating that
Saratoga trunks are an outgroWn lux
ury. The entire amount of their lug
gage for the five months during which
they will be away from home Is con:
fined to bundle that may be strapped
to their bicycle. The bundle, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, contains two cam
brio wrappers, which are either night
dresses or dressing gowns, as occasion
demands; one silk union undergarment
| one silk waist and a box Of toilet arti-
cles. Their costumes consist Of full
round waist buttoned on the skirt,
which. is cut walking length and ar
ranged with hooks and eyes. to- be
caught up to a convenient length for
riding. Three large pockets are hidden
in the fullness Of the skirt, and fancy
one for notebook and pencil adorns
the front of the skirt A wide belt and
jaunty Elton jacket, fancifully trimmed
with braid, complete the costume. In
place of the usual petticoats turkish
trousers are worn. These are fashioned
Of the same material as the dress, and
are extremely full and gathered to
ruff1e below the knee. AS the young
| women declare with a good deal of
pride, these contain "just as many pock-
cts as man's," in which are to be
stored numerous small articles The
outer pockets will contain, among other
things pocket dictionary, itinerary of
| trip, pocket maps, etc. The trousers
button to black silk underwaist, which
takes the place of the white waist usu-
ally worn. It is made of wash mate
rials.
| She's Worth Twenty Millions.
Fancy a woman about thirty-eight
years of age, quite stout and of medi-
um height, dressed in rich but somber
clothing, a pale lace, blue eyes and gold
trimmed spectacles, and, the Jenness
Miller Monthly says, you will have
fairly good idea of Miss Mary Garrett,
| of Baltimore, daughter of the great
railroad king and sister of the present
| head of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road system. Miss Garrett makes her
home in Baltimore, but she spends much
Of her. time in New York, and every
summer she journeys to Europe with
| her maid and quite Independently she
travels from one place to another. She
IS woman of gentle breeding and
| possessed of great knowledge, not only
| Of affairs in this country but in E11rone.
She speaks half a dozen languages
fiuently and is said to be a walking
Poor's Manual on railroad affairs. She
inherited her fathers love for the rail
road business, and is acquainted with
every detail of the great COMPANY
Which her father founded. She is we'll
posted, too, on what ether railroads are
doing, and she is so keen in her iudg-
ment OF railroad securities that she has
made great fortune for herself by
Judlclous Investment. Miss Garrett is
most entertaining talker. Her voice
is soft and low. She has not one man
nish characteristic, and this is quite sur
prising, too, for she has been a constant
traveller the world over and has been
brought closely in contact with men
IN a business way. She spends her time
Systematically. To business she devotes
large share; to society very little,
but to charitable work she is ever

House Servants Out of Work.

rious effect upon the women who work
as household servants in this CITY,. The
advertisements in the daily newspapers
tell the story in the contrast between
the cards of those who want places and
those who want help. In yesterday
