arc considered in every architects plan,
and many Of these are things which
could not be commanded by money
few years ago because they had not been
devised.
The troublesome domestic service of
this country does not specially afflict
the wealthy woman of society, for she
generally has trained housekeeper. In
cases where such functionary does not
rule, the mistress of the house is ons
who has talent for government, and
who knows how to reduce to order some
of the most unruly and pampered beings
in this world of work Such woman
enjoys the executive part of domestic
life and holds it in proper subordination
to the duties and pleasures of society,
Another thing which conduces to

AmaIye CerutI.

Living in a poor street in New York
is woman who has seen more ups and
downs than usually fall to the lot of
one individual. She is Amalie Ceruti,
who, as dancer, once commanded the
admiration of kings and emperors. She
was born in Silesia 80 years ago and at
an early age went on the stage as q
dancer. She was small, with pretty
face and graceful figure, and before long
she was the rage, going from city to
city in Europe and being everywhere
triumphantly received. During her va
rious tours in Europe she was the re-
cipient of countless gifts Of jewelry,
among them diamonds of rare value.
In 1871 she came to this country with
Kiralfy and later joined the "BlaclS
Crook company, where she met and
married a ballet master. Everything
went well for awhile, but finally mana
gers discovered that Ceruti was not as
young as she had been. Engagements
became more and more scarce, and her
last appearance was in German opera
nearly five years ago. Since then they
have lived as best they could. Amalie
Ceruti is still erect and alert, as proud
Of her past glories almost as she would
be were she able to renew them. Chi

Ravelli Was Tanned.

When Rayelli was rehearsing the part
of Edgardo in III Rinnegato, it happened
that the action Of the piece required the
baritone to kill him. He was indignant.
''Whatl'' he exclaimed 'It is my right to
kill the baritone. Whoever heard of his
Staying tho tenor beforef" The story was
like that, explained the stage manager
.Yes," returned Ravelli, THAT is just
what complain of. 1t is against all the
rules of art. He calmed down at length
and agreed to die ON the condition that no
should be carried off the stage by six at
tendants The soprano had to sing long
and passionate lament over his dead body,
but he would not allow this, although
they told him itswas great compliment,
and he insisted on being removed first To
humor him they promised, and all went
we'll at rehearsal. But on the night of the
performance what was the unfortunate
singers rage to find himself left fiat on
the stage while the prima donna sang
her dirge over him He did not dare rise
in full view of the audience, and there
was nothing for him to do but lie still till
the fall of the curtain. Every one thought
that he would go mad und kill some one;
but, on tho contrary, no was quiet and
subdued. The incident seemed to have
tanned him down. San Francisco Argo

The Chicago woman's Club.

The Chicago Woman's club, which
deserves its title of the ''mother of
woman's public work" in the city where
it flourishes, is responsible for the Cor
rect Dress society, which. with a mem
bership of over 200 women and founded
upon the most permanent and rational
basis suggested by any of the various
dress reform movements, is distributing
leaven that must prove powerful in
fiuence. One Of the dormitory halls Of
the Chicago university, presided over
by women and housing 400 girl stu
dents. is the gift of the women of Chi
cago and cost $3.50, 900. 1t is the only
one of its kind, so far as is known,
which was erected by women and is
largely due to the noble seconding by
the Chicago club Of the efforts of Mrs.
Margaret F. Sullivan, who editorially
and persistently in the paper to which
she is attached showed what large sums
women in all ages had given to help
support mems colleges, while women's
colleges were often badly crippled for
want of money. Another important
work done by the Chicago club has been
the appointment of women ON the Chi
oago school board. The club is a splen-
did array Of energetic women. Chicago

Christine Ladd Franklin.

Christine Ladd Franklin is the only
woman that has ever been placed upon
the footing .of a fellow at Johns Hop
kins university. Prior to the comforting
Of this honor she spent some years in
study at the university, being the first
woman who SO availed herself of its
privileges, and, further, having been
specially invited to do so. Her special
ties are mathematics and logic. She was
first graduated from Vassar and was
subsequently engaged for nine years in
teaching in the scientific departments in
various schools. She entered Johns Hop
kins in 1878, and in 1882 was married
to Fabian Franklin, likewise professor
of mathematics in the same institution.
Mrs. Franklin's contributions to tech
nical literature have been both many
and valuable. Her theory of the sensa-
ton of color was published in the
"Zeitschrift fur Psychologist, while
her other writings have appeared in the

Twenty Brave Women.

An official list Of women who are
lighthouse keepers, which the govern
ment has furnished the New York Ma
rine Journal, shows that there are 30 OF
them in all. Some of the lighthouses
which they take care Of are at Robin g
reef, New York harbor; Stony Point,
on the Hudson river; Elk Neck, Md.
Biloxi, Miss; Port Pontchartrain, New
Orleans; Pass Manchac, Pontohartoula,
La; Harbor Springs, Mich; Point
Pinos, Cal, and Santa Cruz, Cal.
The most famous Of all these sturdy
women is Ida Wilson (nee Lewish who
ds in charge of the lighthouse at Lime
Rock, Newport, r. l., but Ida Lewis is
not the only heroine Of the lighthouse
service, as the following report Of an
inspector shows: "At about midnight
yesterday, Aug. al, 1883, while blow
ing gale from the southwest In Char
lesion harbor, with heavy sea, boat
containing three men and boy was
swamped some distance from the wharf
1T Castle Pickney. The boy, being q
good swimmer, struck out fortne beach,
which he finally reached in safety.
Meanwhile one of the men olung to the
boat, and the other two managed to
reach the piles of the wharf, where,
owing to the heavy sea and strong tide,
they were barely able to sustain them
selves above water, and all were crying
loudly for help. Mrs. Mary Whiteley, the
sister in law of the keeper, ]. W. White

The Countess of Gasparln.

The Countess Of Gasparin, who died
recently. may be regarded as the pioneer
of those Frenchwomen who have
achieved distinction as explorers Of COM
paratively unknown countries, promi-
nent among them being the Princess de
la Tour d'Auvergne, Mime. Boulbor,
who explored the Himalayas; Mime.
Charles Laurent, who traversed the
desert Of Petra; Nine. Dieulafoy of Per-
sian exploration celebrity, and Nine.
Leray, the mother of the Due d 'Abran-
tes, who spends the major part of her
time in the wilds Of Asia Minor. Mime.
de Gasparin was born at Geneva in
1918 and was sister of the celebrated
botanist, Boissier. She became, in 1910,
the wife Of Count Agenor de Gasparin.
No great lady of her time has been a
more prolific, popular or graceful writ
er. Among those who bore tribute to
her style was ST. Beuve philadelphia

Bicycle Women and Their Dress.

The question what women shall wear
when riding the bicycle bids fair to
command an increasing degree of atten-
tion as the practice of wheeling grows
in popularity among the gentler sex. 1t
is growing rapidly, SO much so that the
question whether women shall indulge
in this exercise is now rarely raised.
Numerous attempts to do away with
skirts have been made, but without any
large degree Of success i'll this country.
The fact is that most of the reform
costumes" are decidedly ugly, AID some
of them closely approach the line which
modesty forbids ladies to cross Besides
many feminine riders insist that skirts
not too long and full are in no sense OBJ
jectionable or dangerous and claim,
with apparent reason, that the woman g
method Of mounting a bicycle is easier
than the mans. New York Letter.

A raceful Ironse Gown.

For an elderly lady it may be said
that black gown prettily made is al
ways a suitable at home dress, for
whether it be black silk or black cash
mere it can be arranged so that it will
be becoming to the figure, and by the
disposition of little lace or some jet is
can be made to have quite an elaborate
air, writes Isabel A. Mallon in the Oc-
tober Ladies' Home Journal. AS the
close scrutiny is not given to house
dress that is to one which is worn on
the street, it is often possible to remodel
black gown, and by combining it with
some other materials make it even more
effective than it was originally.
A very dainty gown is an illustration
Of this. The back and sides are of black
silk, which at one time formed part
of dinner dress The front, which is
just full enough to be graceful, is Of
soft. white china silk, its outline at
each side being defined by a broad band
of black passementerie, which, resting
as it does against the white, has its de-
sign brought out most effectively. The
high collar, close to the throat, is of
white ribbon, folded and fastened under
a tiny rosette, but a flaring collar and
revers of white lace are around the neck
and extending far over on the sleeves,
then curve in to be made in soft jabots
to the waist line. The sleeves are of
black silk, are extremely full and stand
out SO that they form the foundation for
that part Of the lace collar that comes
over them. At the wrist, where they
shape in, tiny jabot of narrow white
lace is arranged we'll on each outer
edge. In effect tea gown is produced
by this development Of materials-in-
deed it is almost one in reality.

daughter of Henry Brown, the master
OF the lighthouse tender Wisteria, hav-
ing seen the accident, lowered tho boat
belonging to the station, and at the
imminent risk of their lives proceeded
to render them assistance. When they
succeeded in reaching them, the men
were so overcome that they were unable
to help themselves, but after great exer-
tion, attended by no little danger, this
young woman and young girl, unaided,
got them all into their boat and carried
them safely ashore"
1t is from the households of such men
as Whiteley that the women who hold
positions as keepers are drawn. On this
head The Marine Journal says, every
widow and orphan daughter of the mar
iner who has the proper qualifications
should be provided for in such positions
in all lighthouses where the work does
not require the services of men,"
