Here,s a Fortunate Girl.

Gertrude Vanderbilt, whose coming

society under more suspicious circum-
stances than any American girl hereto
fore. She is the daughter of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, the head of the family. She
will be the wealthiest girl in the United
States. And, as if there werenot enough
blessings, she is a pretty young person of

lures. She is also well educated young
woman, and has enough fondness for out

On the Platform.

Mrs. S. F. Grubb recently spoke to an
enthusiastic audience at the opera house
in Augusta, Kan. Upon the conclusion
of her address the Christian minister
came forward and invited her to take
part in laying the cornerstone of their
new church. She consented and gave
one of the principal addresses. 1t is SO
unusual for a woman to be invited to
participate in such an occasion as to
seem remarkable. But why should it
when nearly three-fourths of all the
church members of the United States are
women?-Lawrence Daily Journal.

THE STORY OF A WOMAN AND A
Ai7EEL AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

aNTae Little Brown Milliner''-HigherE Edu-
cation For women-w0men on the Cher
okee strip-vocAtions of English Work
ing women-In a Chicago Shoe Store.
Let me tell you what one old woman
has done at Chicago while attending the
Worlds fair-the greatest fair ever held
on this planet.
An old lady who last April was fired
with the enthusiasm of this progressive
age, which she entered ~ years ago, de-
termined to go to the Worlds fair. She
had never been beyond the limits of Of
sego county. n. Y. She had not the
money to pay her fair to Chicagoand did
not know what she would do if she sue
ceeded in getting there. First she tried
to borrow the money of those she called
friends, but all discouraged her and
thought her almost insane to go. But
she was determined, and after many re-
buffs she succeeded in borrowing and
wrote to friend in Chicago to find her
a place where she could work and have
the privilege of day or two each week
to attend the fair.
A place was found for her by this
friend, and Mrs. Preston, the old lady,
came from her home in Otsego county
to tho big city of Chicago. Her friend
met her on arrival and took her to
where she was TO help in the house.
But the fortunes Of Mrs. Preston were
in the ascendant. One day, as she was
looking about the fair, she went into the
"Old Time Home and Kitchen" There
she espied large wool wheel, with the
soft white wool rolls lying ON the bench.
The sight was too much for Mrs. Pres
ton 1t took her back to her girlish as
sociations. She forgot where she was.
The surroundings seemed like her old
home. Stepping up to the wheel, she
tenderly picked up one of the soft white
rolls and began to spin yarn from it, as
she had done in the olden time. That
act was the passport to the hearts of the
ladies who had charge of the building,
and after getting release from her en-
ployer Mrs. Preston was at once installed
as queen of the spinning wheel. She ex-
hibits to the daily throng the way the
wool was converted into yarn long years
ago.
She had been photographed with the
wheel, and her photos are for sale at
the olden home. From these she re-
ceives revenue, and the lady manager
pays her well for being there to show
the working of the wheel. She has been
honored with calls from high dignitaries
from all parts of the world. One wealthy
old gentleman wanted to take her home
with him to Denver. But she prefers
to return to her childhood's home, happy
that she has accomplished what she un-
dertook, and is honored for her perse-
verence. She has won hosts of friends
and has made more than enough money
to pay back what she borrowed. She
will return to her home with an expert
ence that few younger women have had,
but which every young woman might
well initiate in order to obtain what
ever she most desires. Mrs. Preston's ex-
perience shows what woman can do, |
although she may be past 70 years of |
age.-Chicago Cor. of Boston Woman's
Journal.

roar is all over.
Both the spinsters and the widows of
the lady home must stick to the resolu-
ton that no mans foot shall ever press
the soil of the $40 acres which belong to
them. Thus they will set an example,
and thus they will give men to under
stand what woman can do when let
alone. In the interest of great expert
ment every woman of them must stead
fastly resist the Establishments of all
the suitors who may hover along the
fence until further resistance is impos-
sible. Yet if all Of them, even the wild
ows, are married before the winter is

Helping out Small Incomes.

Miss Mary Smith. an English woman,
has been engaged in novel sort of social
philanthrophy. Instead of devoting her
energies to the very poor she has been
studying to provide inexpensive but
healthy and pleasant homes for women
who have small incomes. In Gloucester
shire she has established a number of
small cottages having all the picturesque
ness of the thatched cottage period and
the sanitary improvements of later days.
They are tenanted, and the scheme seems
likely to prove successful. = London

To FTect n .Ioinin~.

Most women are hollow in the back.
That's the reason their skirts sag and dip
and hang crooked. The new skirt is very
full, but it is cut to hang even allround.
To bring about this pleasing effect
giant hook and eye is being used on all
the street suits. The eye goes on the
waist belt AID the hook on the skirt
braid. When they articulate, the skirt
will be straight, provided it is cut right.
The skirt hooks sell for few cents and
should be put in all the heavy dresses.

vocation. of English working women

Vacations of English Working Women.
Some interesting facts may be CLEANED
by the English census returns concern
ing the struggle of the sexes for profes-
sional supremacy. The present showing
demonstrates that it is in the lower ranks
of professional life that women are nu-
merous Excluded from the clergy they
are found considerably in excess of the
men in the subordinate fields of religious
work.
In the medical profession there are 100
practitioners, 345 dentists and 2veter-
mary surgeons. In the legal profession
women figure only as clerks, while as
teachers their number is more than dou-
BILE that of men; $50 women journalists,
with 1877 reporters, figure in the lists,
with GO merchants, bankers, 765 bro
kers and agents, 16 bill discounters, 9S5
wholesale buyers, 165 commercial trav-
elers and more than 1900 clerks.
More than 100000 women are regis
tered in domestic and not far from
100000 more in industrial pursuits,
but in the higher skilled industries they
cut rather poor showing, nor is their
deftness shown to advantage in the
making of watches and philosophical
instruments, furniture decoration or
jewelry, though some 1000 miners and
$4,000 agricultural laborers are in the
hst.-Exchange.
