WORLDS FAIR TRAVEL

The time is near at hand when the

Worlds Columbian Exposition at Chi

woman in this great land who doesn't
feel it a part Of his or her duty as we'll
SIS pleasure to go to the Fair.
There is patriotic sentiment perva-
ding the minds of our people on this
great subject, and though money may
be scarce and the times out Of joint, yet
there will be such inducements offered
by the railroads and SO great will be the
fascination of this marvellous under
taking that many farmer will sell a
mule and many business man get an
extra move on himself in order to raise
the wherewith to go to the show.
There is an old saying that every

The Northern and Western roads are

Among the deaconesses recently con.
secrated by Bishop Potter was Miss
Newell, lawyer in regular practice in
New York, with a large and remunera-
tive. business For several years Miss
Newell was employed in the patent Of
flee in Washington, where she was first
attracted by the intricacy of the law as
applied to patent cases. Later she drew
large salary in New York from a firm
that made patent law a specially. HAY
ing thus mastered the patent law, she
was admitted to practice in the United
States courts and was frequently con-
suited by young patent lawyers who had
heard of K Newell without knowing
that the K. stood for Kate.
Usually after preparing her brief she
employed male counsel to appear for
her in the courts, but not infrequently
the judge, tired of the argument of the
dull counsel, requested her to appear
and enlighten the court, which she did
in well chosen and eloquent language,
supported by references to appropriate
legal authorities.-Ne York Sun.

There's no telling what may happen
next among those who ape English no
tions in this country, now that the Eng
lish women are authoritatively reported
to be riding astride their horses at the
hunts. The spectacle of fair equestri-
ennes attired either in divided skirts or
in long riding coats, boots and breeches
is something calculated to startle those
who are privileged to witness it. Over
in England it is reported that the inno-
walton meets with approving comment
from the men. 1t is just possible that
this fact may be sufficient to secure its
approval here, but the chances are that
the taste will have to be acquired very
gradually.-Boston Herald.

Alice Wellington Rollins, charming as
writer of stories and essays, and
equally delightful as conversationist,
recently said in reply to the question put
to her, "Ought women to preach?"
l think there should be no restriction
ON womans doing what she wishes to
do and can do well. 1t is matter of
temperament, ability and audience. If
there are those who wish to speak and
those who wish to hear, silence should
not be imperative. There are some
things, however, which it is surprise
that she cares to do. AS for myself. If
have anything to say to the world |
prefer to do it through the medium of
the press, but / have no objections to
any other woman preaching from pull
pit if she wishes to do so, and l think
the door will be open for her in this par
ticular line of work as soon as she is
fitted for it.-Exchange.

that has all changed. note that these
women bear the stamp of the cosmopo-
lite. They have the air of women of the
world, who are not afraid of the world,
and who are rather glad they are in it.
The matrons have charmingly "com-
Portable" look. between fashion and be-
nevolence, of the sort of people whose po-
sltron IN the great game of life is assured.
The young women are comely to look
upon, as rule, and are oftener down
right handsome than downright plain.
1t Is pleasing to the eye that they dress
for the most part with excellent taste,
being given to plain, well fitting travel
ing, street and carriage gowns, and in
this respect form an agreeable contrast
to the American women of twenty years
ago. When l see them lowering around
the postoffice end of the office counter
or at the bookstall or in front of the hotel
theater ticket desk recall the similar
knots of stylish femininity one meets
about the offices of the continental hotels.
The American woman is known abroad
for her independence of character and
her ability and willingness to look after
herself, as well as for her fine figure and
facial beauty. In the big New York ho-
tells you will see the same fine types do
ing the same thing in the same quietly
effective, ladylike manner.-New York

To Mako Lovely Gifts.

Any one who can use brush and water
colors should try painting on parchment.
Lovely gifts can be thus prepared, and
nothing in the line of menu cards can be
prettier, Photographs collected during
the summer may find a worthy resting
place in parchment box delicately
painted with forgetmenots. For writing
tables there are the long, narrow diaries,
the parchment cover being ornamented
with rising sun or stars and the word
"Diary" in gold letters. Address and
engagement books may be covered in the
same way, with an Illuminated mono
gram in the center and ribbon border.
Menu cards may have graceful bas-
ket of flowers painted gold or brown
and suspended by blue ribbons tied in
bow at the top. The flower will fall
over the basket and trail down the left
side of the card, and Menu" will be
written across the top in gold. Menus,
guest cards, little almanacs and fiat pin
cushions for suspending by ribbons may
be fancifully shaped like flowers, and
photograph frames like hearts or Tyres.
To show how menu can be made will
suffice. The vellum is stretched while
slightly damp (the damping being done
on the wrong side) over cardboard, the
edges being glued and turned over the
card.
For this liquid glue answers. A piece
of thin cardboard is next cut almost
double the size of the menu; it is scored
across the middle with a penknife, then
doubled back. The edges of the face of
one-half are glued to the parchment
menu forming its lining, which makes it
neat, and the other half serves as the
easel back.-Once Week.

Women who wish to give a long
wasted appearance to their bodices are
wearing pointed cut jet girdles, with
very long jet fringe ON the lower edge.
These girdles are very expensive, but if
one has the time girdle can be made at
home at comparatively small cost.
The plain jet girdle may be got, and
strands of beads bought and hung in the
proper fringe fashion from it. In doing
this be careful that each string of beads
is separate and the thread securely fas-
tened, so that if one should break the
others will not of necessity follow its
example.
