At the End of the Rainbow.

The fashionable woman's fashionable
gown has not been thing of beauty dur
ing the past season, and from every in
dication Of fall and winter styles it will
not soon be much lovelier. 1t will doubt
less be more elaborate, more lavishly
trimmed and built out in more astonish-
ing fashion across the shoulders. Huge
sleeves and stiff bretelles still reign,
while skirts are adorned from waist to
hem with ruffles, velvet, ribbon, roaettes
and every sort Of trimming that feminine
fancy can devise. During the reign of
tailor made, untrimmed gowns of year
or two ago it was prophesied that an out
break Of frippery and fol-de-rols loomed
up on not far distant horizon, andnow
we are surely at the end of the rainbow.

Literary women's Attire.

Lady Wilde Oscars mothep has been
writing book of "Social Studies,' and
among other things she gives the follow
ing description of what she considers a
model dress for literary women: 1.-THE
literary dress should, in fact, be free, un-
tranmeled and unswathed; as simple and
as easily adjusted as Greek drapery, and
fastened only with girdle or brooch.
No stiff corselet should depress the full
impulses Of passionate heart. There
should be no false coils upon the head to
weigh upon the brain, no fuzzy furze
brush on the brow to heat the temples
and mar the cool logic"

Table Decorations.

The considerate table furnisher has
recently designed some decorations for
those occasions when simple dish of
flowers seems inadequate. They are ar
ranged to combine candelabra and flow
ers in the way usually described as fairy
like. The arches for the ends Of the
table have shades set arohnd them in
which either fairy lamps or electric
light globes may be fastened and vases
for holding flowers. The center piece
has its bowl similarly arranged and
smaller arches. When vines and feath-
cry plants like maidenhair and aspara-
gus fern are used plentifully, the effect
of the glowing lamps shining out of the
mass Of green is remarkably good.-Ex-

Women Cashiers.

The new and magnificent Holland
hotel on Fifth avenue, New York city,
decided to employ a woman cashier.
She worked SO well that it lately secured
another. The young ladies require
seven different books for taking all their
orders, and they must keep track of
these and not get tangled up. They also
have occasion to cash large checks at
times and must know when these are
genuine and when bogus. There is much
responsibility attached to the place.

Homen Learnine politic..

There are indications that an entirely
new branch Of education will soon be es-
tablished in New Haven. 1t will be
nothing less than school for the in
struction Of women in the peculiar and
complicated profession of politics.
At the coming fall election the women
will be given their first opportunity to
vote, and although they will be restrict
ed to balloting for members Of the board
Of education they are none the less in
terested in their new privilege.
The women are determined to be rep
resented on the board of education.
There are nine members on the board,
and the women want two of the places
for themselves. It is probable that each
party will try to secure the female vote
by placing a woman on its ticket. AS
there is minority representation pro-
vided for, this would practically insure
the election Of two women.
The new voters will demand the priv
ilege of naming their own candidates,
but they have not yet proceeded so far
as to pick them out. They feel that they
are not sufficiently versed in political
methods to take that action just now,
and are waiting until they shall have Sc
cured an initiation into the ways Of the
politicians. 1t is expected that several
thousand women will register with the
town clerk ndwill deposit their ballots
in the special boxes which will be pro-
vided for them.-Cor. New York Press.

reach the goal first without upsetting
