TWO GIRL GLOBE eIRDLERs.
Studying the Worlds Women, They Believe
the Least Emancipated the Happiest.

Studying the Worlds Women, They Believe
the Least Emancipated the Happiest.
Two pretty Scotch ~lassies, Miss F. Marie
Imandt and Miss Bessie Maxwell, are now
touring the world e~ndeavoring to learn all
about that woman's work which the poet
says is never done, while the work Of man
only lasts from sun to sun. They start
ed from Dundee last February to girdle
the globe and tell the readers of q Dundee
paper how unemancipated woman the
world around was getting n. They at
last arrived in the United States and are
busily engaged in getting ''soaked with
American impressions" as Miss Imandt
puts it.
From Dundee the bonny Scotch investi-
gators first went to London, which they
think Is about the best field for missionary
work among women that they have yet
seen, with the possible exception of the
back streets of their own Dundee. From
England the girls went to France, Italy,
Egypt, Arabia, India, China and Japan.
The European women, Miss Imandts says,
are just beginning to wake up and ask
questions, wonder where they are att
and what all this talk about emacipated
and unemancipated woman means.
This fair Scotch investigator has become
convinced that the happiest woman on
earth is the heretofore pitied woman Of the
east-the woman who Is a mere doll and
plaything for mans amusement, and who
Is the direct opposite of our end of the
century m The principal reason
why the eastern woman is happier than
her more enlightened sister, according to
Miss Imandt. is because she is not ruined
and wrinkled by a mad quest Of fashion

CHARLES DENNY. MINISTER TO CHINA
practice of law. In 1885 he was appointed
minister to China and has held the office
ever since, despite changing administra-
tions, a fact doubtless due to the rejection
by China of ex-senator Blair Of New
Hampshire, who was nominated as minis
ter by President Harrison.
In 1858 Colonel DENLY married a daugh-
ter of ex-United States Senator j. N.
Fitch Of Logansport, Ind. He is q very
able lawyer, speaks French and Spanish
fuently and knows what a Chinese laun-
dry ticket calls for every time. Peking Is
said to be one of the inexpensive courts
for an American diplomat. The minister
has a house and five acres of ground, tho
rent for which is paid by Uncle Sam.
There are also an office building and an
additional house for his guests, a gate
keeper in livery and an American eagle
over the door of the Office. The legation
Is on the street known to the citizens Of
Picking as that Of the "Subject Nations, +"
and all Chinese mobiles think the minister
a barbarian. He never sees the emperor
and relies for his society upon the Euro
peans who live in Picking.

ors in a waist, while none of them shows
in the skirt. Great rufus Of chiffon and
silk muslin will be-infact, are beginning
to be-worn by those who are able tx have
the first of every new thing.
I must not omit to mention that benga-
line in white and ivory tints will be very
much worn for handsome tea gowns and
evening costumes. When these are for tea
gowns, the combinations will be of velvet,
plush or some other rich silk, such as bro
cade or ottoman, with lace as a finish and
perhaps a band Of ostrich plumes down.
the fronts. For dinner or evening wear
they will be trimmed heavily with silver
or pearl beaded gimps, fringes and passe-
menteries.
I saw nj neat white bengaline evening
dress for a lady now at Newport. It was
en- princesse and with a pompadour neck.
There was a ~corselet Of fine black beaded,
passementerie in very openwork pattern,
and that reached below the hips and ended
in a superb jet fringe, each strand ending
In q slender jet piquet. Around the bot
tom Of the skirt, which was trained quite
long, there was a series Of palm leaves
worked In fine jet, the lower edges form
ing scallops. Under these there was o very
full knife plating Of pale maize satin.
The sleeves reached to the elbows only
and there ended with a rich jet fringe.
The corselet of jet reached clear around
the waist, the jet fringe hanging much
lower in the back than the front. The
whole skirt was linedtwith some very stiff
material and had altogether q regal app
pearance.
There wa n other magnificent gown
of bengaline which must mention.
This was: made with q gored skirt and
demitrain. There an applique Of black
Spanish lace all around the skirt half q
yard deep, from which all the mesh had
been clipped, leaving onlythe heavy figure.
This was sewed to the bengaline, and here
and there o fine cut Jet bead was added.
The figure was turned upward narrow
row Of beaded gimp encircledthe skirt, set
just on the edge. Under the edge Of the
skirt were four knife edge plaitings, which
would show only as the wearer might
move. The waist was out pompadour and
with deep points front and back, which
were furnishedwith eyelets and, black silk
cord, andlaced up around the square neck
was q large bertha rufleof black lace over
white silk. The sleeves were extremely
large pufs Of white and silver brocade,
with Is fall Of Spanish lace at the elbows,
where they ended. This fall Of lace was
narrow ON the upperspart Of the armand
wide at the back. To 60 with this gown
there was an enormous fan Of black lace
overwhite satin. There wa q silver chain
and q clasp made Of silver, set with rhine

OUR MINISTER TO CHINA.

In the City Of Picking.
Now that Japan has knocked the Ko-
rean chip off the shoulder of China, and
the mikado and the emperor are settling
their differences with shot and shell, Colo
mel Charles DENLY, United States minis
ter to China, becomes q parsonage Of more
than ordinary interest, although he Is
absent from China IN q vacation. Colo
mel DENLY was born in Botetourt county,
Va, about 6s years ago, and was educated
ut Georgetown college, where he took three
medals for the high merit Of his work,
and at the Virginia military institute.
In 1858 he removed to Evansville, Ind,
where he wrote for a newspaper and stud
led law. He was admitted to the bar and
in 1865 was sent to the legislature. He
was surveyor of tho port Of Evansville un-
der President Buchanan, and although q
Virginian espoused the cause Of the I'M
ion when the wal began. He served gal
lantly as lieutenant colonel of the Forty
second regiment, Indiana volunteers, and
! as colonel of the Eighteenth regiment, and
was twice wounded. In 1868 he resigned
and for 90 years devoted himself to the

CHILD's FRoCK.
made Of navy B. B. serge, plainly hemmed
about the bottom and having q pointed
band around the waist, Stimulating a CIR
die. The waist is Of striped goods in the
form Of a shirt, and over this Is an Elton
Jacket Of the blue, with wide sailor collar
and cuffs OF stripe. The upper portion Of
the sleeve is large and full. A cord, end
ing with round silk balls, tied at the bust,
makes q pretty addition. In this dress we
have the 1880 sleeve, and the kilt and
draped overskirt of IL years ago, and the
Elton, which Is quite q modern Invention
in woman's attire, but one destined to al
ways remain popular. 1t Is more becom-
ing for street than figaro or Spanish jacket
styles. The killed skirt is a-boon to many
ladies who do not look we'll in the severity
of an undraped skirt.
For children there Is much of the same
mingling of the best features of the diff
is r~eappearing; also a modified Mother
Hubbard s we'll as more of the quaint lit
tie .G~reenaways. The 1880 modes are also
to be found for little girls. I remember
one made Of flax colored wool delaine.
There was a very short yoke, to which the
whole dress was plated, the seams under
the arms only being gored slightly. The
plaits were held in to the waist line and
then left,to fall loosely. Around the neck
was a pierrot rufae, and there was q wide
bertha, full on the shoulders and brought
down to a point in front, where there was
arosette Of ribbon to match. From be-
meath this two ends Of ribbon were carried
y around the waist and tied In the back in
long loops. There was q printed band Of
brown and white around the bottom and
onsthe bertha and sleeves. This is woven
u on the dress material to use as trimming.
The large gigot sleeves and the waist trim
h ming give this simple but extremely pretty
~ gownfits distinction. It would be a good
model to follow In any goods not to be
4 1aundered.
I saw another dress for a little girl that
I thought very dainty. 1t was Of fine wool
challiesin cream ground, with sprays of
goldenrod in its palest tint scattered over
$ It,. Around the straight hem was q band
Of watered ribbon of the exact shade Of the
frosty green leaves Of the goldenrod. The
waist had a shirred yoke, the rest Of the
fullness being gathered to the belt, which
was of hunters green velvet. I should
have said that the yoke was of the velvet
lin the upper part, and so was the collar.
Therewas q plated rufle Of the MORE RIB
bon above the velvet collar. The sleeves
were bishop, with deep velvet cuffs, edged
with plated ribbon, and having besides Q
fall Of white lace. Nothing could be pref
tier than this cool and dainty little frock.
Some new and b%ewitohing gowns and
hats are being shown now at the races at
Aa & Saratoga and elsewhere, which are said to
be exact counterparts of those seen at the
famous Grand Prixof Paris. Among them
/ singled out two for special mention.

layers of clothes, changes of fashion and

She wears n garment a year, and her
entire wardrobe ranges in size from a sim

straight piece Of cloth wound around her
body in others.
The women of Cairo have nothing in
the world to do but gaze in their mirrors,
eat sweetmeats and endeavor to look
pretty.
In India the Scotch girls were again
impressed with the happy condition of the
women in harems. The prettiest. woman
they have yet seen on their globe girdling
tour was q dark eyed Parsee girl Of IS,
who was sweet voiced and lovely and
much happier than the western woman,
with her many cares, her ambition to be
we'll dressed, her worrisome servants and
her disf1guring wrinkles.
In China the Scotch girls learned that
women are not considered the equals Of
their husbands, and In, Japan they became
convinced that the Japanese musmee had
no morals whatever. "But, z says Miss
Imandt, ..the Japanese woman doesn't
know she Is doing wrong and ought to
burn for it, as she might possibly be
taught by gentle people who sometimes
teach those things"
