LITTLE GOLDEN HEAD.

Gay little Golden Head lived within town
Full of busy bobolnks fitting up and down;
Pretty neighbor buttercups, cozy aunty
cloyers,
And shy groups of daisies all whispering like
lovers.
A town that was builded on the border Of
stream
By the loving hands of Nature when she
woke from winters dream;
Sunbeam for the workingmen, taking turn
with shower.
Rearing fairy houses of nodding grass and
flower.
Crowds of noisy humble bees rushing up and
down.
Willy little brokers of that busy little town,
Bearing bags of gold dust always in hurry,
Fussy bits of gentlemen, iull Of fret and
furry.
Gay little Golden Head fair and fairer grew,
Fed on fecks OF sunshine and sips of balmy
dew.
Swinging on her slender foot all the happy
day,
Chattering with bobolinks. gossips of the
May.
Underneath her lattice on starry summer
eyes,
By and by lover came, with his harp of
leaves,
Wooed and won the maiden, tender, sweet
and shy.
For the little cloud home he was building in
the sky.
And And one busy morning on IN his steed q OF might
He bore his little Golden Head out OF mortal
sight,
But still her gentle spirit,a puff of airy down,
Wandered through the mazes of that busy
little town.

"A German Function Very Much

What the tea is to the English and
American entertainer the kaffee klatsch

affair where women only are expected
to take part, though the katfee klatch as
given in America is but variation of
the regular tea. and both men and wo-
men are supposed 10 atten nd.
The hours are usually from to Z, and
the callers are not expected to don any
especial or extra dress for the occasion.
The hostess wears pretty house gown.
and altogether it is a most charming and
informal affair. The refreshments con-

or hot rolls. The coffee is presided over
by some young girl friend of the host
eSS, or the lady of the house herself
does the honors, while the cakes are
passed without ceremony by the men, or
any one present who feels inclined to
do so.
A klatsch in Germany means q socia-
occupied with fancy work or any sew
ing that can be done amid such pleasant
surroundings. Here, however. this
feature of the entertainment is missing,
and conversation or little music is all
that is expected.
A katfee klatsch could be made de-
cided!y picturesque if the maidens serv-
ing the coffee were attired in quaint
German costumes, and if a further in
novation were approved, it might result
in a dance done by these self-same
girls to the time Of their wooded shoes.

most economical method of dischargng

A Wonderful impetus has been given
to woman's talent in every direction
through their participation in the prep

will fall under the observation of more
people in the six months of the eXposi-

woman is ever the inspiration of score,
whose highest tribute to genius is irai-
tation. Latent talent for wider range
of industries than has yet been demon
sLrated will manifest itself without
doubt, and relieve the overcrowded
avenues cf employment, open new op-
portunities and make the daily struggle
for existence less prolific in dreary fail

MAINLY ABOUT WOMEN.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett be-
lieveS in the benefits of walking as an
exercise, and takes a long "conStitu-
tional' before breakfast every morning.
During ITO French women wore shoes
with very pointed toes and high, slender
heels. In 1889, the year of revolution,
an abundance Of rouge, many patches
and very high heels were considered eS-
sential aids to female beauty. The men
wore shoes of similar elevation, while
their attire as a whole was marked by
many eccentricities.
In the Rothschild family birthday
presents are provided for the girls of
the family in the following manner: At
the birth of each girl six pearls, valued
at s.. 800. are put aside. Six more are
added at every birthday, and when the
young lady reaches the age of twenty
one, she is presented with the valuable
necklace.
Perhaps when the year is summed up
the event in its history which will make
the greatest impression in society will
be the refusal of the Princess Of Wales
TO wear Grape in her costume of mourn
ing for the death of her son. the Duke
of Clarence. Grape has weighed upon
the world and deepened its woe for
many generations, and there are many
people who will be glad to see the end
of its somber and depressing rule.

Decidedly artistic are the softly folded

Lily of the valley garnitures for even

TOMMY THE SEAL.
True Story About a Baby Seal
Which Was Bought and Tanned.

True Story About a Baby Seal
Which Was Bought and Tanned.
Kathie Moore in Our Little Ones.
One day when Mr.. Wise was out in
his long Indian canoe fishing he saw a
baby seal on rock not far away. He
pushed his canoe over to the rock and
picked up the seal. 1t was fast asleep,
and did not know that there was man
near until he lifted it into the boat.
The poor little thing was very unhappy,
and tried to get back into the water.
Mr.. Wise wished to keep it, so he took
it home to his wife and they fed and
petted it until it became quite tame,
and would go about the house like a
dog.
After it had been with them few
weeks it became so fond Of them that it
would not leave the house for more than
all hour at a time. Mrs. Wise would
open the door and send it out. Tommy
that is what they called it-Would
slide down the rocks into the sea and
dive about for while catching fish. In
about an hour he would climb up to the
porch again ana lie there crying like a
child, until Mrs. Wise opened the door.
Then he would wag his tail and rub
himself against her feet to show his JOY.
He liked nothing better than to have
Mrs. Wise take him up i'll her armsor
Dold him Oh her lap.
One day Mrs. Wise put Tommy out of
doors while she went to visit neighbor.
When he grew tired of playing he went
up to the door as usual and called to get
in. When no one came he cried just
like a baby. When Mrs. Wise came
home she found that he had cried him
self sick. and was sad all the evening.
Tommy learned great many tricks.
He was almost as quick at learning as a
dog. He would shake hands, lie down
and pretend to sleep, smoke pipe, and
cry when told to sing.
One day he went out to get his dinner
in the sea, and that was the last Mrs.
Wise ever saw of him. She thinks that
he followed the tide far out into the
ocean, and there met. some of his old
playmates, who persuaded him to stay
with them. At any rate ne never came
back, and Mrs. Wise says she loved him
so we'll and was so sorry to lose him.
that she often dreams that she hears
him crying on the doorstep.
She says that Tommy the seal was the
incest baby she had aver had; but then.
she lad never had any other babies, eX-
copt cat and dog babies. She never had
sweet baby brother or sister, such as
you and l have.

TALENTED GIRLS.
Work That They Have Done for
the Columbian Exposition

Work That They Have Done for
the Columbian Exposition.
An interesting account of the work
done by the six women assistants
chosen by the sculptor, dorado Taft,
from among his pupils is given here.
These gifted and earnest young women
are, with two exceptions. all Illinois
girls. They have advanced from assist
ants to full-titled sculptors. and to each
has been awarded the task of modelling
from her own design heroic figure for
the Illinois building. Julia Bracken is
a small, snub-faced girl, with dark hair
and earnest eyes, and is less than twen-
ty-one years old. None of her
family is given to art, but her
predictions found expression even in
as child i'll quaint carvings in soft
wood. Her work in the studio attracted
attention, and to her has come the cOn-
tract for chiseling in Italian marble the
eightfOot figure of ILLINOIS Welcoming
the Nations" The reposeful statue of
tath for the state building and the
Madonna for the North side cathedral
are also her work, and illustrate her
versatility. Janet Scudder, the Indiana
girl who from the housewifely accom-
plIshmentS or making medallions In
butter turned her attention to work in
clay, is working on an original concep-
tion of Justice, of which captious
critic said:
"a woman's idea! No need for her
to weigh evidence or be forever adjust
ing fine points of law. She just makes
up her mind what's right and goes
ahead" Zulimie Taft, sister of the
sculptor, is working hard on her figure
of Learning" which does not follow
the severe Minerva ideal, but presents
Il gracious, womaniy figure. classic in
pose and drapery, her eyes fixed on a
roll of parchment. Ellen Rankin Copp,
an artist in color as well as in clay, has
designed an embodiment of tender
motherhood in the figure Maternity"
and is also making portrait bust Of
Mrs. Potter Palmer. Carrie Brooks, a
daughter of the portrait painter, F. A.
Brooks, the youngest member of this
talented sisterhood, has the contract for

To Whiten Red Arms.

One of the hardest trials to endure
philosophically is the very common red
ness and roughness of the arms when
they are displayed in evening dress.
This may be overcome in time by the
following treatment: Wash the arms
every night in water as hot as can be
borne, with soap, and rub them vigor-
ously with nail brush. Dry on rough
towel, land rub III any preferred prepara-
ton of lycerine-with rose water or
cucumber jelly-until it is quite alb
sorbed. In month the arms should be
smooth and white.

coming of blindness. Fancy from which
a man would suffer most, the GOODNESS
of his mistress or the loss of his good
name. Poverty, grim and real, Is worse
than the worst disappointment in love
that ever was felt or renned. Family
disgrace, spiritual doubts, the awful
tears that parents shed, the loneliness
after bereavement, the ~dreariness of
old age, madness, august and inevitable
death,-how trivial beside such facts as
these look the misund erstandings Of
lovers, "the parting5 such as press the

This, no doubt, is Staying the slain.
We all know these truths, but the peo-
pie who propose to write our stories for
us seem not to remember them, and
young and immature readers suffer by
their lapse Of memory.
