About Women.

Mrs. Philip Sheridan, is almost the
only widow of great war chief who
absolutely declined purses, funds and
any such testimonials after his death,
and resolutely opposed all offers from
military societies and others who
wished to erect his tombstone. Gen.
Sheridan had himself made for his
family, and erecting q monument over
his remains was the last that she could
do for him-too precious a duty for
her to assign it toauyone else.
An interesting case for the student
OF the ways OF womanIs heart to
ponder is that of an Oakland, Cal,
woman who few months ago brought
suit for divorce, shot her husband in
her jealous rage while the case was
pending, nursed him through the i'll
ness that ensued, fell in love with him
all over again. and ia now living with
him, happy as dove.
Mrs. Frank Leslie has been making
few remarks concerning women and
love. "a woman with no one to love
her." she says. "is the most miserable
of creatures. She loses half her value
in her own eyes. She is unable to do
justice to the best of her nature. She
either hardens and becomes cold, de.
fiant, bitter and narrow, or she withers
and languishes like spring flowers in
an east wind"
Mrs. John A. Logan is credited with
the statement that women who have
to work for their living are less likely
to marry. than those who do not. She
thinks that they are less attractive to
the other sex in business salt than
in pretty tea gown.

The Best Coffee.

The woman whose noble ambition
1t is to serve the most finely favored
coffee will buy it green. Then she

WOMEN AND HOME.
Floral Table Decorations.

Ono of the daintiest decorations
have ever seen WAS also one of the sim
piest. 1t was y pot of adiantuna cune-
eEtaa1, one of the most useful Of all the
Gnaidenhair ferns, standing on q bed
-nf lycopodium arranged on large
platter. Over this moss, lilies of the
valley were scattered carelessly. There
was not the least attempt at "arrang-
alag" them they were simply dropped
upon the moss, and left to lie where
they fell. The contrast between flow
saEs, moss, and the lace like, dropping
v&otiage of the fern, was most charming,
and the effect was very pleasing. 1t

GSUt that would have spoiled the dainty,
rzpring like effect which was aimed at,
anDd secured.
Another very pleasing decoration
swaS composed of adiantSm and Roman
AyAeinths grouped about bowl con-
vEsining handful OF Msrechal Mel
Oses. The roses were made promi-
aent by being raised well above the
arms and hyacinths, which were
Eherefore made to serve as ground
against which the other flowers could
Msplay their golden beauty. The har-
.1WOny Of green and white and yellow
~0risparkling crystal was perfect, and
&here was sufficient contrast to height
co the charm OF each. Roses and n.y.
ascinths used together, or in mass,
would not have been satisfactory,
5ecause they lack what / may call
Moral congeniality; but by being sep.
zArated by the crystal bowl containing
1.-The roses, and the hyacinths being
sGiven subordinate position, the
result was all that could be desired.
Neither flower interfered with the
&other or suffered by contrast.-Demo-
