scnntor Stamford ana Womcn.

Senator Stanford attested in two
notable instances the high regard in
which he held womankind. His re-
spect for woman in general he record
ed by giving her equal rights with
men in the Stanford University. His
regard for her in particular he showed
by his will, in which the great bulk of
his fortune was left absolutely to his
wife. A great many people are in
terested, some of them vitality, to see
whether these two important actions
will work together for good.
Practically Mr.. Stanford bequeay1ed
Stanford University TO his wife. 1t is
true he left the university about
81, 100000, but that is far from being
a large enough sum to keep the insti-
tuition running on the scale on which
1t is conducted now. Happily Mrs.
Stanford's interest in it has always
been quite as lively as her husbands.
Yet it has happened before now that
man and wife who have been one so
long as both have lived have turned
out to be different one after the
man has died. 1t is fact, and a
pretty solemn fact TO the university,
that the huge Stanford property has
changed hands, and that the di-posi-
ton of its income will be subject to
new influences, the bent Of which can
not certainly be predicted.-H

Fashions in Couture.

The world belongs to pretty women,
and the fullness thereof is theirs, let
the wise ones argue as they will Of
intellectual superiority and spiritual
beauty. To the woman with the
fairies gift all else shall be added, par.
ticularly in the domain of dress. 1t
Is for the pretty woman that modes
are made and exquisite fabrics
wrought. She needs the coHsidera
ton of the designer much less than
palmer women, but she receives it all
the more in deplorably unjust ratio
Particularly this season does the plain
woman feel bitterness in her soul at
being deprived, through no fault of her
own, of her birthright. For every
fashion now demands the sweet and
gentle type of beauty known to the
Amelias and Chorillas of Il bygOne
day, before higher education and
snartncSS and swagger came in. The
style of couture prevalent only Ro-
mola or one of Miss MulOch's low
voiced women could wear with becom-
ingness, for the very latest thing in
Embarrassing, copied from the old-time
mode, has smooth and glossy tresses
combcd trinity down on either side a
fine white parting, to be twisted in q
soft coil at the back. This style of
couture demands n delicate, youthful
face, low, broad forehead, and an
eXQuisitely- nodded head. Another
style, much affected by young girls, is
n modification of the 1920 style, with
ringlets falling down either side of the
face from parting, the hair knotted
high in puff in the center. The eX-
preston to be worn with this couture
should be one of sweet modesty and
gentle unopinOnatedness.
Still smarter, and becoming to the
full-tledged belle or youthful matron,
is that couture in which the hair is
tossed back from the forehead to fall
in soft, careless curls at the side or
in a single curl in the middle Of the
forehead. Some women of the dark
Spanish tyne, with faultlesSly regular
features, dare attempt this style Of
couture with no curls and the hair
combed back lightly to the twist.
Handsome women are distinguished,
intellectual women striking, in this
sort of framing. The woman who isn't
so sure Of herself and her beauty will
part her now dishonored bang n little
at the side, perhaps, and leave the
soft fringe to fall over her forehead,
and the petite style of woman, who
has an irregular sort Of beauty, waves
her hair in n tangle of curls. that fall
back apparently in spite of her, to
flutter over her brow, while the sweet
faced woman, with the small and pref
ty head and not great deal of time
to think of herself or her beauty any
way, says the New York Sun, uncon-
sciously copies the Mrs. Cleveland Golf
fure, the soft, wavy hair combed care
lcssly over back, to be twisted in a
knot at the center Of the head.

For the Sleeping Chr.

The wise girl knows that nothing Is
quite so desirable for wear in the
sleeping car as wrapper of dark
colored flannel. 1t is set down as Il
positive fact by the Ladies' Home
Journal that women who try to make
themselves look coquettsh in sleep
ing car, and wear elaborate negligees
or lace-trimmed wrappers, show eX-
tremely bad taste. Experience has
taught that n wrapper of soft flannel
in stripes of black and blue. made in
the simplest fashion, is most useful.
When she is ready to go to bed, and
the porter arranges her berth for her,
she goes into the toilet-rOom, taking
with her her shawl-strapped package.
She removes her shoes and stockings,
puts on the knitted slippers that she
has taken out of her bag, removes
any garments which she pleases, and
assuming her wrapper, which has been
folded in her shawl strap, repairs to
her berth. After fastening the but
tons of the curtains, she disposes of
her clothing as best she can, folding
each article smoothly and carefully
and placing her money, watch and
tickets in her wrapper pocket. And
then she will try to rest-the porter
will call her in good season and her
ticket will not be asked for during the
night. In her shawl strap, which
shows as its outer wrapping shawl
or travelling rug. she may have her
own pillow if she desires ii. But this
is not a necessity, as the cars are sup
piled with linen that is usually fresh
and clean. In the morning the wise
girl will put on her stockings and
shoes in bed, leaving the lacing or
buttOning Of them until later. Then
she will assume her other garments
and repair to the toilet-roOm, where
she should as eXpeditiOusly as posi-
bic make herself neat, trim and fresh.

THE LEAST OF THESE.

She had little of earthly beauty;
She had less of earthly lore;
She climbed by path so narrow,
Such wearisome burdens bore!
And she came with a heart a-tremble
To the warder at heavens door.
And said, There were hearts of heroes
She said, There were hands of might
had only my little children,
That called to me day and night;
] could only sooth their sorrows,
Their childish hearts make light"
And she bowed her head in silence,
She hid her face in shame;
When out from blaze of glory
A form majestic came:
And, sweeter than all heavens music,
Lo, some one called her name!
Dear heart. that has self forgotten,
That never its own hath sought,
Who keepeth the weak from falling,
To the king hath Jewels brought.
Lo what hast thou done for the children,
For the Lord himself has wrought"

Moved to n Deed OF Charity.

While Mrs. William IL. Vanderbilt
was speeding along one Of the Central
Park drives in New York recently, she
saw a sight which induced her to stop
her carriage. An old woman sat on
bench and n park policeman was
shaking her arm, while a little girl
stood by crying. Mrs. Vanderbilt had
her coachman pull up and learned
upon investigation that the old woman
was i'll. That drink had nothing to do
with the case seemed clear. The in
valid was promptly lifted into the
carriage, the little girl got in, too,
and off the party went to n hospital.
The case was the common one of Il
Woodworking woman with an orphan
grandchild-"the veriest rot you read
about in circulating library novels"
to use the expression of n magaZinist
in late essay. Well, the old woman
is now living better than she ever did
in her life, probably, and the little girl
has not the same cause TO weep she
had n month ago, the pair being cared

rage very clearly, and the character
OF the motion is very readily under
stood by rememb ering that the whole
moving system simply revolves about
the four parallel journals which are
mounted in the top of the main frame
These four journals, with the arms on
their ends, are simply four double
cranlxs IN the loading position the
longer arms extend upward from the
ins de of the main frame and the top
carriage is mounted on III tse arms by
means Of two shafts. One of these
shat is journalled through the front
of the top carriage and the other
through the ear. The first has its
ends fastened To the front pair of
arms, and the other to the rear pair.
The four shorter arms extend down
ward outside of the man frame, and
pins on their ends support counter
weight frame which surrounds the
main fr me of the carriage. The
counterweight accurately balances
the gun and top carriage, SO that in
mannvering the gun up and down
there is no res stance except the fric-
ton on the journals. The elevating

The carriage is traversed after lift

when the gun is fred the recoil car
ries the gun and top carriage TO the

radii. At the same lime the counter
weight is carried forward and upward,
describing half circles on the shorter

reach the horizontal the gun and top
carriage begin to move to the front
and the counterweight to TIE rear,
