The Winter Shirt Waist,

This is fastened up the back and bears
small resemblance to its summer cousin.
A favorite departure will be the stole
shirt. 1t has cuirasslike piece that
covers the entire front, and which starts
at the shoulder seams, rounds at the
edge Just below the waist line and is
provided with two tablike pieces that
pass around to the back, fastening there
at the waist with a rosette. 1t is sort
of serpentine that doesn't wind, as It
were The stole piece is loose from the
shirt itself and may be used as an acces-
sorry to several different shirts, being
provided with high choker collar and
fastening with hooks at the shoulders.
The fit of the stole piece is a delicate
matter. There must be no wrinkle, and
the whole thing must sit with military
stiffness. A bodice built on this plan
has a stole of military red, heavily
braided with gold, and is worn over a
white blouse waist Of the shirt type.
The material in both cases is a close

Let Your Husband smoke.

1t does not pay to be overparticular
about cigar ashes and pipes. 1t does not
make any difference how much a man
loves his wife, he loves his tobacco al
most as well. Ee can worry along for
a greater time without her than without
the fragrant weed. Just let him enjoy
the latter in his own way, and you will
see more of him than you would other
wise. Now, enjoyment of cigar is not
compatible with constant effort to re-
member where the ash tray is, and he
will take delight in Pickering off the
ashes on the floor with his little finger that
is beyond the comprehension of the most
enlightened feminine mind. He usually
smokes in the same place, and the little
pile of ashes can be easily located and
removed every morning. - Donahoe's

WOMAN'S WORLD.
MISS RAY FRANK OF CALIFORNIA THE
FIRST WOMAN RABBI.

Lady Somerset ON Woman--The Decision of
the Michigan Supreme Court--EuIaiie
and the Chicago Beauty-A Luckless
Princess-TimeIy Topics.
Persons who attended the congress of
religions in Chicago in August will re-
call the interest with which they listened
to the opening prayer, offered as it was
by young woman, and rich as it was
In fervid, impassioned utterances. When
the first session was over, there were
many to crowd about and congratulate
Miss Rachel Frank, who, as the young
est delegate. present, had been invited to
make the invocation, and many who did
not speak to her stood apart to admire
the modest yet strong demeanor of the
slender, dark eyed girl as she quietly ac-
cepted the warm Communications that
were showered upon her.
Miss Rachel, or Miss Ray Frank, as
she is oftenest called, is native of Cali.
fornia, and to her is to be accorded the
distinction of becoming the first woman
rabbi In the world. She has already
studied at the Hebrew college in Cincin-
natl, but has not finished the course,
wishing to interpolate some additional
study before taking the rite.
She is the first woman student in the
college and will be the first to be or
dained as rabbi. There is absolutely
no precedent in this country or in any
other, as no woman before has occupied
the position of rabbi. The career of the
nakarol, l,o
ogy to the work Miss Frank has un-
dertaken, and even here the likeness
fails, for when Deborah preached to
Israel there were no synagogues. Since
then there have been noted women
teachers, but there is distinction be-
tween teacher and preacher in the mind
Of the Jew.
People are asking by what name Miss
Frank will be called when she is or
dained rabbi. Being the first woman
In the world to occupy such position,
naturally the name does not exist. When
she has occupied the pulpit or has lee
tured in the synagogue, Miss Frank has
worn street dress or a half evening
dress of light Grape. This is quite in
line with the rabbis of the reform con-
gregations, who have discarded the robe
and cap of the orthodox congregations.
Miss Frank will probably remain with
her family and friends in Oakland this
winter. After that her plans are un-
formed. While in Chicago several
wealthy Hebrews were desirous of form
ing congregation, with her as their rab-
bi. A feeling of lack of preparation
forced her to decline, although Rabbi
Moses, the most celebrated Jewish divine
in Chicago, encouraged her to accept and
said that the Jews needed women in
their pulpits.-San Francisco Chronicle.

LADY Somerset on Woman.

think American women are quite as
ready for the suffrage as the women of
England. Perhaps you are not so well
organized. l believe there are few or
ganizations of women in America ex-
cept the w. c. T. U. that have faced the
political situation. Indeed, Miss Will
lard was considerably criticised for in
cooperating politics in the temperance
work. The kind of work women have
hitherto been allowed to do in the tenn
perance cause is ambulance work, and
that is all very we'll in its way. But in
a great battle like this woman's powers
ought not to be restricted to caring for
the inevitable consequences of the bat
tle-the dead and wounded-but rather
be directed to removing the causes
which lead to the warfare. In England
the temperance cause needs local option
and the woman's vote. In America that
party which will secure the woman's
vote will have the strongest weapon
against the liquor traffic, which under
lies SO many other undesirable features
of political power and issues.
OF course your politics is more in
volved and intricate than ours, but your
women are far better educated than
ours-that is, the rank and file of women
in America are better educated. In
England only what we call the poorer
classes attend the schools which CORE
spond to oyour public schools. The great
middle classes, which are the strength
and sinew of the nation, go to private
or boarding schools that are not well
managed and where instruction is mar
row and inefficient. The consequence
Is we have great difficulty in finding
women well educated and qualified to
lead and organize movements of reform.
OF course we have the few titled ladies
you hear SO much about, but there are
not many Of them. No. repeat that
the average American women are better
qualified today to take hold Of the af-
fairs of state than are English women,
though the English women have more
organizations and more privileges.
We believe strongly in the woman's
vote, and believe, too. that it must come
in fact, that it is imminent in England.
We already have municipal suffrage and
vote on school boards, and the bill per
mitting women voice in the parish
councils will come before parliament IN
November. In fact, every new bill ad
Mits the woman's vote.-Lady Somerset
