Will Not Wear Then,

Mrs. Theodore Sutro, au acknowledged
society leader of New York, recently ex-
pressed herself as follows in speaking on
the subject of the proposed dress reform:
'She will moi wear trousers. On the
contrary, her garments will be pref
tier and she herself will be, If that is pos
sible. more effeminate, more gentle and
tender than she is now. Why? Because
she will realize by being all these tn at her
power will be increased in corresponding
ratio. Woman's rights are Invariably assO-
ciated in mans mind with the loud-voiced
woman, the woman without little per-
sonal vanities. the woman who is in

big boots and would like TO wear high
hats and make other incurslons on his
wardrobe He is the reigning power now.
and looking at things from this point or
vision, can he be blamed for not wan ting
to abdicaie in favor of any one so unat-
tractlve to him as this person? There will
be more marriages for love in her day than
there are now, for the reason that natural
selection will replace convenience. She
will be qualified to work, and, not fearing
it. will not marry for support. She will be-
able to provide for herself, and when She

Decoration for Luncheon.

Al a pretty luncheon the other day in a
hospitable country house the rooms were
charmiUgly decorated with masses of
Towering plants which had been brought
in from the dollhouse, says The New York
Times. Nothing could have been more
delightful than 10 leave the world OF snow
and ice bordered by the angry gray waters
of the sound, ana the gaunt wintry trees,
with their naked branches tossing in the
teeth of nOr'-easteT, and TO enter
through the glass doors of the iDclosed
veranda into world of spring and sum-
mer, sweet with the OdOrs of lilacS and
roses. 1t is rather a curious fact that
while lilac trees flower rapidly in hot
houses, putting forth.their graceful, feath-
cry bunrhes of purple and white blossoms
in great profusiOD, they produce few
leaves, the bare crooked branches from
six to seven feet in height showing in
strange contrast with the crown Of beauty
and light and sweetness above.

on a New Postage Stamp.

Only once has the American woman
been so honored by the Government as to
have her portrait handed down to pos
terity ON official issues-in the case of
Martha WASHINGTON, whose head ad0rns
the 81 bill. But there is movement on
foot among the national officers of the
Snrietv of the Daughters of the American
Revolution to try 20 secure public rec0gnl-
ton of their first pre- Sident-general, the
laie Mrs. Caroline Scott Harrison, wife of
of ex-President Benjamin Harrison, by
placing her portrait upon new postage
stamp.
The idea originated in the fertile brain of
a Daughter" who straightway talked
the matter over with her patriotic COL
leagues, with the outcome that the prop0-
sition was laid before the board of man.
agement of the National Society. These
ladies in turn weighed the pros aud the
contIas and decided that it would be an ap-
prorriate way TO respect the memory of a
woman eminent for her patriotism. The
national board then put the idea in correct
form and presented the subject to ex-
President Harrison and his family in order
10 first gain their assent to the proposition
before taking any further steps.
The EXPIRES dent is now considering the
matter, and should ne return a favora BILE
answer the Daughters" through the
National Board, will proceed to lay the
subject before he Postoffice Department,
as the Postmaster-Grneral would be the
official to take the decisive step.
The Inception of the whole idea prob
ably came through the MASTERPIECES in p0r-
traiture of Mrs. Harrison, painted by
Daniel Huntington, president of the
National Academy # DESIGN, which nor
trait was unveiled by the Daughters" at
their Continental Congress lately held in
Washington. The picture now hangs in

show their skill and ingenuity. Some

New Use for Stamps.

The latest thing in china decoration by
women is the characterization of fancy china
plates with postage stamps The stamps
are cut up into their component parts, the
scrolls being divided from the yignettes,

the plates in various graceful combinations
and formations. Some Of the effects are
extremely pretty, especially when the
colors are combined with proper apprecia-
ton of harmony. says the New York

2. There is no diminution in the
enormous number Of oil paintings
which every year find Temporal
ry resting place in Burling-
ton House, and considerable
collections of water colors and
sculpture are also displayed
there. The exhibition as whole,
is quite up to it's average standard
as to both interest and the display
of skill, but out of such abundance
it is possible to select for special
notice only the works of a few of
the most prominent exhibitors.
Sir Frederick Leighton has sent
five pictures all typical examples
of his well-knOwn style.
Mr.. Alma Tadema's chief picture,
"At the Close of a Joyful Day." is
classical subject of characteristic
composition. Professor Herko-
mer's chief exhibit is the life size
nude figure of a girl representing
Shelly's "Zantha." Among the as
sociates, special notice is claimed
for G. H. Boughton's allegorical
work, entitled "Be Thou as Chaste
