Russia's Royal Widow.

The widowed empress of Russia, ac-
cording to the strict etiquette of the
Muscovite court, will wear during the
first six months of her mourning simple
dresses OF black flannel. They are maue
high and plain, with sleeves in what is
known as Charles VI style, fastened
tight at the wrist, but cut wide and
loose so as to reach the ground. A train
some three yards in length trails from
the waist, and broad collars, cuffs and
streamers of white cambria contrast
with the gloom of the rest of her attire.
The costume is completed by cap la
Marie Stuart, the material being Grape,
and band cut into point to fit the
shape crosses the forehead. A Grape veil,
shrouding the whole figure, is used ON
ceremonial occasions, but shorter one
is substituted for everyday wear. All
the toilet accessories are of course
black. Except as regards the length of
the train, the czarina mourning differs
in no way from that prescribed for the
grand duohesses and the ladies belonging
to the four upper grades of the court
circle. st Petersburg Correspondent,

Women as TmitatOrs.

With the tailor made girl an easy
walk came ina walk that did not have
a suggestion of stride, but still, as it
was swinging, was perfectly feminine
and easy. 1t was much prettier than
the mincing steps attained by walking
the ribbon. By the bye, it does seem that
while women are talking so much about
their rights they have left very few to
men.
They have taken his loose, heavy
stitched gloves with the big buttons
They have taken his shirt front, his tie,
his scarfpin, his watch chain, his ciga-
rettes, his coat pockets, and if some of
the bicycle riders continue to divide
their skirts they will have taken his
trousers. | have tried my very best to
be convinced that a woman looks well
on bicycle. She does not. The attitude
is an ungraceful, strained one, and if
the rider happens to be IA woman her
face gets fiercely red, and she does look
an object No matter how much care
may have been given to the get up, they
all look pretty much alike, and most of
the riders have an untidy look-tumbled
hair, negligee cap, and, well, the gen-
eral loose get up being far from natty
looking. Riding the iron and steel horse
may be popular, but certainly it is not
pretty.
Of course some of the fashionable
women have learned to ride. They arc
continually seeking for some new dis
traction. But you can be very certain
that they will ride in private schools
or on their own private grounds and
not through the streets of New York or
i'll the public parks. They are too wiso
to make guys Of themselves for the ben
eft of the general public. Occasionally
they might do it among their own
crowd, but be very sure that they are
not going to let the hoi polloi sec them
make fools of themselves Editor Wo-

Miss Floride Cunningham, mem
Der of the Worlds fair board Of lady
managers from South Carolina, made a
fine address at Asheville, N. c., Nov.
Is. She declared the serfs of Russia and
the negroes of the south were free, but
woman alone remained in bondage. The
women do not aspire so much to sit in
legislative halls as they do to vote for
clean men to hold offices. Under exist
ing circumstances, she thought, the
women who We're most admired by men
were those who were most dependent,
and it is this class of women that is
opposed to woman's suffrage. She be-
ght the men Of North Carolina to
wake up and closed with recommen-
dation that North Carolina should
send delegate to the convention to he
held in Atlanta i'll February, 1895,
This closed the meeting, and those who
heard went home thinking more prob
ably on the question of woman's suf
frage than they had ever done before.

the cane was most conspicuous.
''But there's reason for the cane,
and, absurd as it is, it is point for the

is without any excuse whatever. Queen
Victoria is compelled to use u walking
cane whenever she moves about, and il
is in compliment to her majesty-or

Two Absurd English Fads.

'There are two fashions very largely,
almost universally, affected by English
women just now that l don't think will
pronounced faddist, remarked a wom-
an just back from a long stay in Eng
land "They are the chignon and the
walking cane.
''The fashionable couture is hideous-
nay, revolting-and I'm sorry to say it
is affected by about eight in ten Eng
lish women. 1t is simply a return to the
most extreme style of the old chignon-
an immense wad of hair, or imitation
of one, stuck sielight out from the back
of the head. In its extreme develop
ment it is often fully as large as the head
which it disfgures Sometimes you see
a woman who aims to be ultra fashion
able wearing two of these monstrosi-
ties, one atop of the other, and maybe a
little sailor hat perched atop of the
wad, but not covering her head at all.
The only improvement over the old
ehignon is that the present one is a hair
covered wire frame instead of swab
of hair. The vulgar people call it a
bun. In a trip around the continent /

the chignon is the walking cane, and it

MRS. LILY A. THOMPSON.

EN- on the police force, as was decided
at the recent convention of that organi-
cation, desire to have my name enter
ed upon your record as the FIRST appli-
can't for appointment as q female police
officer. | believe with the leaders of
the w. G. T. u. that moro can be ac-
complished while making arrests by the
use of moral suasion than by the use of
clubs, pistols and brute force The ex-
pertinent of female police officers is
worth trying"
1t is unnecessary to state that the
commissioners were somewhat startled
by this application. 1t is true there are
several women connected with the po-
lice department as matrons at the va
rious stations, but the idea of female
policeman patrolling beat and swing
ing billy was entirely new. How
ever, the matter was referred to Com
missioner Truesdell, and he is calmly
thinking it over In the meantime Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood and other promi-
nent woman suffragists in the District
have interested themselves in the case
OF Mrs. Thompson and declare they pro-
pose to push her application to an ap-
pointment.
Mrs. Thompson, who is % years old,
is a native of Charleston. There are
not many woman suffragists in that
section of the country, and Mrs. Thomp-
son has acquired her ideas ON this sub
ject since she came to Washington about
four years ago. When she was years
old, her parents moved to eastern Ten
nessee, and in that mountain region she
grew to womanhood 1t was there that
she developed fondness for outdoor
exercise and became an accomplished
horsewoman, and, according to her
friends, splendid rife shot, She ham
dies pistol quite as expertly as any
man, and in this respect she would
probably excel the average member of
the police force. Mrs Thompson early
acquired a taste for athletics of all sorts,
and few years ago she became inter-
ested in the Delsartean theory of physic-
al development. She is an expert with
Indian clubs and dumbbells, and no
doubt she could give some of the 'dan-
dy coppers" points on the twirling Of a
baton in the most artistic manner.
From her home in Knoxville Mrs.
Thompson came to this city, and since
the death of her husband short time
ago she has supported herself by sewing
and by occasional work at copying.

Resenting Insults.

How can a refined woman best pro-
tect herself from insult? This is Sc
rious question in these days when wom-
Ell are being forced to accept RESPONSE
bilities and to stand oftentimes so COM
pletely alone. Insults are not always
merited, and suppose man or wom-
an maliciously offers an affront to a
woman and the one affronted is innate
~ refined, what redress has she? None
whatever. There is no code of honor to
fit the occasion. Unfortunately there
are men and women who take advan-
tage of this lack of protection. Some
one will advise, "Treat them with 81
lent contempt" Well, that is the only
way open, but it is not just way. The
contempt doesn't affect the offenders,
and silence renders their viciousness,
being unknown, dangerous to another.
There is such thing as righteous in
dignation, and too frequently peace is
bought at too dear rate. If the affront
is an indictable offense, there is the
court, but how few women would avail
themselves of the publicity of this
mode! There is the other alternative
of appealing to a male relative, which
is very apt to cause trouble, and then
perhaps the insult is offered by wom-
an. Then the male relative does not
avail. There should be some code of
honor that would place gentlewoman
in such an attitude that, fearing some
retribution, man or woman of the
affronting kind would be required to
adhere to at least a courteous way of
being rude, New Orleans Times Dem
ocrat.

Wearing Jewels.

One interested in social customs and
who has watched New York women for
a generation or more must have been
struck by the fact that New Workers
have learned when and where and how
to wear jewels. One may occasionally
see diamonds worn during round of
morning shopping, but such wearers are
conspicuous, and a woman who would
appear at hotel breakfast with her
fingers covered with expensive rings
would at once lose caste, no matter what
her perJonal recommendations might be.

three on the affirmative side were OPP

became converted and spoke with much
eloquence and feeling. The judges de-
cided in favor of the affirmative side.

aERMANY's NEW TREATY.
Turbulent Scenes During the Debat
in the Reich stag.

Berlin, March 1.-The debate on the
first reading of the Russian treaty closed
to-day and the treaty was referred to a
committee.
Toward the end of the debate the
Reichstag became more and moro mat
tentive to the speeches. Herr Won Ploetz,
the champion of the Land Owners Union.
who assailed Chancellor Won Caprivi,
was interrupted repeatedly with
many derisive cries by the
supporters of the government.
He proceeded perseveringly, however,
to say every word which he had prepared.
AS soon as his determination became gen
orally apparent the deputies began leav-
ing the oouse. When he closed two
thirds of the benches were empty. The
Bavarian, Alsatian, Polish and anti-semi-
tic deputies had left.
Eugene Richter, leader of the regular
radicals, and DIR. Barth, radical union
isJ, kept up running fire of scornful com
ment upon the agrarian speeches until
they were called to order by the presi-
dent. The climax of the debate was in
the speech of DR.. Sigle, the Bayarian
clerical and Prussian hater. He
rose to reply, he said, to the attacks
made upon Bavaria by deputies who re
Ierreu 10 the So-cdlleu STATES rights pres
sure exercised by the South German gov
ernment on Prussia in the matter
of the graduated railroad freight
rates. No Bavarian. he said had found
an opportunity to defend his country
against malicious suggestions, or to rep
resent the interests which Bavaria had at
stake.
DIR. Sigle was still talking when the
house rose and agreed to refer the treaty
10 the committee.
Almost everybody in the house con-
graduated his neighbor upon the termi-
nation of the tiresome parliamentary sit
tings during the debates on the treaty.
The consensus of opinion in the lobby
was that Chancellor Capriyi had ma
jority in the committee and would be
able to put the treaty through the Reich
