Towels.

In buying towels the housewife will
remember that large towels are consid-
cred to be the most economical pur
chase. although the question admits of
argument A number of good and ex-
perienccd houSckecpers assert that a
small towel performs the best service
and, though the number is increased in
the weekly wash. any laundress pre-
fers to do up three small towels to
single large and heavy one. 1t is, of
course. an individual question, but the
advocates of the lesser size will have to
make their towels from huck9lback by
the yard to insure getting 4 good quail
ity, as the better grades are not offered
in the very short towels. This. with
the single exception of the variety
known as babies towels, which can be
had made up at some Of the furnishing
stores. AS they are very soft and fine
their purchase for general use cannot
be recommended. {.
At the linen counters nowadays are
sold scrub cloths of sleasily-woven
hemp and cotton. which sell for about
81 dozen. Another useful cotton
cloth that can be bought is the so-called
chamois duSt-cloth. which is firm.
close-woven yellow cotton flannel, that
looks like its namesake. and eXcels it

One was a brown cheviot made with

bottom with fouc rows Of black and

waistcoat of scarlet broadcloth, glis-

Among the PMris Dressmnker

1t may not be generally known, but it
is true, that the great Partisan dress
makers have Il custom of charging Il
married woman more for her gowns
than an unmarried woman is asked
An American lady in Paris recently
commented upon this difference, which
she had observed to the extent of $50
in two dresses identically alike.
"Ah!" exclaimed the great .modiste,
"why not? Madame has husband to
pay her bills, but mademoiselle's dot
must be looked out for, so that she may
get a husband" Which is not so illog-
ical as it at first seems
That great man milliner, Felix, uses
no crinoline in any Of his dresses, nor
has used any. He abhors it. So far,
his skirts do not show either the bell
or the futed effect. The sleeves are
still very large. Contrary to prophecy,
they show no sign of diminishment
That is, perhaps, because they have
been found to be so becoming. They
fill out the figure and make the waist
small by contrast. Black and white is
rather a played-out combination, but
black with bright red Is getting to be
great favorite. Vests and waistcoats Of
OK blood red bengaline are folded I'M
der little coats, usually double-breasted
The suits are of black hop-sacking or
boucle or some of the novelty CLOTH

A married woman is not usually
supposed to contribute directly to the
family purse, her time and strength
being sufficiently taxed when she keeps
house, manages children and servants
and administers carefully the domestic
affairs which lie within her province
That the husband shall provide the
means and the wife attend to their out
lay, saving and ecCnimizing as thriftily
as she can. is the ordinary arrange
mcnt, sanctioned by custom and agree
able to our idea of business and a fair
division Of labor 1t is now quite usual,
however, for married women to supple
mcnt the income of the family by the
exercise of some gift or accomplish
ment. They write, or teach, or lect-
ure. or paint pictures; they embroidcr,
or make pickles CT preserves. With 4
delightful feeling of independence and
the most generous and tender unSeltiish-
ness, wives who earn money by some
effort of this kind spend it for family
uses. 1t goes to pay school bills and
purchase shoes. Wherever there is 4
deficiency the supplementary earnings
Of the wife fit in so easily and in so
timely a manner that both husband
and wife count on this added source
of income as if it were in the antici-
pated order Of things Often a style
of living rathe" more expensive than
would be practicable or the husbands
salary or on the profits from his bust
ness is adopted because of the wifcs
earnings. A larger rent is undertaken
or the living Of the family is on broad
er scale. 1t is not usual for Il wife
to hoard or invest her earnings separ-
ately; they go into the common purse,
and are spent either for luxuries or
for the benefit Of the children. when
Will gets into very tight place." was

ROW AMONG THE OLYMPIANS,

The President of the Noted New Orleans
Club Makes Charges That Are Promptly
Repeiled.
NEW ORLEANS. La, Jan. 30-There was a
row at the Olympic Club Saturday night, the
particulars of which have just come to light.
For some time there has been a spirit of rivalry
among the officers of the club. and consider
able friction in the management of affairs has
resulted therefrom. Saturday night the con-
test committee had a meeting and there was
wrangle over the arrangements for the coming
fight.
The upshot of the affair was that President
Dickson stated openly that VIM. Schult. chair
man of the contest committee, and Joseph Bell,
one of the members of the committee, we're
'snakes in the grass and had been working
against the interest of the club in the making
Of the matches.
As might be conjectured this statement caused
q row. Dickson standing near a row of
chairs and when he made the remark Schult
made break for him. Before Dickson could
evade his rush the chairman OF the contest COM
mittee was upon him with right-handed blow.
He caught Dickson under the chin and sent him
sailing through space. Over chairs and under
a table the president OF the club was lifted and
deposited and when he Strengthened up he re-
ceiyed another heavy blow which he was unable
to parry.
Friends interfered at this jurcture and the
men were parted though it was not necessary
to apologize for his remarks, but Schult would
not have il and left the room in a rage.
Mr.. Bell, who had also been included in the
remarks made by Dickson. was content TO look
on and see the fun between the president and
Schulz.

Rev. Walter H. Brooks, d. D., pastor of
Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, preached at
II am. yesterday from Acts 17:1I-12. He said:
When the Apostle Paul was at Thessalonica
mob Of lewd fellows. men of the baser sort. as
saulted the house of Jason, his host. because
they did not agree with Paul touching the
principles and facts which he, as an apostle of
the Lord Jesus Christ, was then setting forth
So violent and murderous was the spirit Of the
mob that tho little handful of saints in Thessa-
lonica sent Paul secretly away unto Berea.
Here the people were more noble than those in
Thessalonica, for they believed in freedom of
thought, freedom of speech. freedom of investi-
CATION and Judgment for ones self in matters
religious and freedom of action in all things in
which man stands or falls to his God. II is
nearly 1900 years since Paul lived. but human
nature is the same Right here in the United
States We have our Thessalonicas and our
Bereas. Places, on the one hand, where your
life is endangered if you advance notions or
principles which are not in keeping with the
views of a certain element of the community
But, on the other hand, thank God for our
Bereas. in which truth and error Christianity
and infdelity, republicanism and democracy
are free to fight together until the right shall
triumph and God be glorified.

Here is a costume American from design to
finish. Ii was worn last week alta reception
and il was the most glanced-at costume there
The skirt. novelty enough, was smooth; yes,
tight around the hips.
An ill-natured observer might have called il
an ''old-fashioned bell' had it not been deeply
gored and five yards around the bottom. The
cloth. brilliant robins egg blue, through
which ran black lines exactly like a typhoid
chart. as one woman whispered to her neigh
Dor, was cut diagonally
1t was finished with broad navy blue rib
bon, tied in huge stiffened Alsatian bow, pre-
cisely in the middle of tue front breadth.
The round waist was of yellow satin, checked
by small squares, with black silk cord
Through some coutourier's wonderful skill
the satin fitted from waist line 20 collar as
though it were a seamless jersey.
1t seemed quite wrong to conceal even por-
ton of this achievement by a loose satin-lined
bolero. This, too, like the skirt, was given a
certain stiffness by the navy blue ribbon around
the bottom. At the breast the edges Of the
boiero were caught together with q ribbon
knot. The hat was lined with dark blue velvet
and trimmed with black tips and yellow wings.
Was not the attention the wearer won we'll
earned recognition?

Foot Ball Regulations.

passed resolutions opposing the regulations re-
Gently adopted for university foot ball matches,
and recommending in their place the plan sug-
gested by Caspar W. Whitney By this plan
any regular student Of the university who has
not been a member of any other university or
college team would be eligible to membership.
provided he has not been a nsember of the
university more than four years. Pennsylva-
MA will not withdraw from the intercollegiate
association. 1t is proposed instead to organize
two teams. one of college men exclusively and
the other of university men II the present
rule should stand the college team would meet
Princeton and Yale and the university team
would coach them and practice with them.
The university, however, will endeavor to have
the rule changed, and with that purpose in
view has appointed q committee to arrange a
conference.
