Savo one or two notable exceptions of
rebels to fashion found in high life, all
women arc abject slaves to those who
order and make thcir clothes. They have
not will of their own, and the utmost
limit of their freedom of action is the
arrangement of their chains--the man
ner in which their papers of slavery are
blazoned and written ont. When the
order has gone forth that the sleeves are
to be high and the lovely line of the
finely nodded shoulder is to be not only
hidden but defaced, all the pretty serfs
hasten to obliterate this charm i'll favor
of unconditional submission to the ty-
rant decree of fashion, which is but an
other namc for faith. When the skirts
are tied back so that the whole figure is
seen rs clearly rs if it were clothed in

equal display their defects as proudly as
the beautiful display their perfections,

were the first words uttered by Queen Vic
toria en- her return to buckingham palace
after the jubilee procession. When she
stepped into her carriage to go to tho
royal wedding the other day, her las
words were these to the Duchess of TeclS,
"Now, mind you tell me about my
dress!" 1t is said that the queen mislaid
her bouquet at the last moment, which
shows that she is both mortal and fcmi-
nine-very. Whether she has become SO
accustomed to carrying waterproof in
the Highlands that the force of habit is
strong upon her or for some other rea-
son, the queen ordered her macintosh to
be slowed away in the carriage, though
the day was hot and cloudless. London

Wet tbc vea,, yyhl,o I,a.hinv.

Wetting the hair is very necessary
when swimming. Many women never
do so, as the care of their hair afterward
is too great trouble. In number of
cases the failure to do this has proven
fatal from the rush of blood to the head
and exposure to the sun. There has been
such an instance in Hampstead harbor
this summer. A young woman bathed
in the heat OF the nconday sun. Imme-
diately after coming out of the water she
complained of a severe pain in her head.
That night tho pains grew SO much worse
that the next day she was taken home.
Within two weeks she died of brain fever,
and the physicians ascribed Il to her fail
uro to wet her hair.-BTooklya Eagle.

Thirty-fourth street. have not been COM
pleted. The report that the intent of
the purchaser is to erect thereon a hos
pital for class Of women unprovided
for in other instituti0ns is not defined,
although they will net affirm it; neither
will they deny that the would be pur-
chaser for whom they arc acting is Miss
Helen Gould, elder daughter of the late
Jay Gould. There are many grounds
for the belief. however, that it is Miss
Gonld who desires to make this notable
addition to New York's charities. The
real estate men naively say that thepub-
lication Of tho statement that they de-
sired to purchase the property for such a
customer and for such purpose would
embarrass their negotiations.
Miss Helen Gould is known to be one
of the most indefatigablc workers in the
charities which have their fountain in
and are fostered by Rev. DR.. Paxtons
West Presbyterian church, of which she
is q commitment. She does not confne
her efforts to The mere signing of checks,
but. personally visits the homes of tho
destitute and cheers by hearty words Of
encouragement while giving substantial
relief from her purse. 1t is said that she
takes a deep interest in the class of I'M
fortunates for whom the proposed hos
pital is reported to be designed, and the
establishment Of such charity cannot
be too highly commended.
Rev. DR.. Paxton regards Miss Gould
as an Invaluable ally in the benevolent
work of his church. She is personally
interested in the Home for the Friend
less, and sho was one Of the walters at
table last Christmas, when 200 little
tots were made happy. She is also o
liberal giver to the Potted Plants asso-
citation, which gives flowers and shrubs
III pots to children Of the tenements, and
It is said that her private benefactions
are very numerous. She is said to be
especially tender to poor and helpless
women and little children and is known
to spend many hours in visiting and
reading to invalids, besides providing
for their physical needs.
Miss Helen Gould is the richest heiress
in America. Her fortune is estimated
all the way from $10,0o0,000 to s15 5,000,-
600. She owns the home on Fifth ave
nue. which her father occupied and the
great mansion at Irvington-o the-Hud-
son, and has absolute command of the
Income from millions of gilt edged divi-
dend paying securities. Miss Gould is
well along in her twenties, and while
not strikingly handsome has womanly
expression and gentle manner that win
the esteem of all who meet her. She
was devotedly attached to her parents.
She has never been q society woman in
the generally accepted sense of the term.
Her work among the city's poor was
taken up before her father died, and her
ample means since that event have been
largely devoted to the same end.-New

work Of the chioaro y-onaan's Club.


The reform committee of the Wom-
ans club Of Chicago began its earnest
work with the county insane asylum,
where it was found that hundreds of
women were horded without proper at
tention-three in q bed solnetimes-with
insufficient food, with only a counter
pane between them and the freezing Win
ter air at night and no fannels by day.
The root of the trouble was the old one
the root of a4l public evil in this coun-
try-the appointment OF public servants
for political reasons and purposes. The
frst step of the reform committee was
to ask the county commissioners to ap-
point woman physician to tho asylum.
Today, as q consequence, the asyluus at
Kankakee, jackson and Elgin, all Hi
nois institutions, have women physicians
also. | am assured that no one except a
physician can appreciate how great a re-
form it was to establish the principle
that women suffering from mental dis
eases should be put in charge Of women.
Mrs. Helen S. Shodd was at the front Of
the asylum reform work, which is still
going on.
She next led tho reform committee into
the poorhouse. where they went, as they
always do, with the plea: ''There are
women there. We want share in tic
charge Of that place for the sake Of our
sex"
While was in Chicago some Of tie
women were looking over the plans for
four new police stations. It transpired
as they talked that they have succeeded
in establishing woman's advisory board
of the police, consisting Of 10 women
appointed by the chief Of police and in
charge Of The quarters Of all women and
children prisoners, and Of the station
house matrons, two Of whom are allot-
ted to each station where women are
taken.
