Cigarettes In High Society.

At the woman writers dinner IL
London America was well represented.
Mrs. Poulteney Bige1ow is described as
being magnificent in palest green, set
off by some emerald velvet arrangement
on her shoulders. " Everybody who has
read "A Yellow Aster' will be inter
ested to know that at this dinner the
author, who has been christened with
the title of her book as 4 nickname,
was quite beautifully dressed. You
only saw films of white lace as she sat
half hidden behind the flowers. 1t was
as when the autumn mists fall on the
asters, and the oriental pearls round
her neck made one think of the gossa-
mer with strings of dew pearls that
cling so often around the flower of that
lady's choice. But when you saw the
Yellow Aster take the lead III lighting
a cigarette then comparisons failed

The Queen at Manchester.

Imagine u short. only little over
feet, rather stout woman, with face,
while not possessing the least sign of
what we should call beauty, but still
showing a degree of determination and
Will power apparent to all, her body in
cased III plain dress of black silk and
her head surmounted with a bonnet,
very plain in appearance, and you have
rs correct q description as it lies i'll my
power to give of the lady whose power
stretches over thousands OF miles and
whose word is law to millions.
The first appearance of the queen III
the open street was the signal for 4 re-
markable demonstration of affection and
enthusiasm on the part of the assembled
multitude. Loud cheers rent the air,
hats and handllerchiefs We're waved, and
from everywhere came cries of welcome.
Her majesty appeared greatly touched
by the heartiness of the reception &C
corded her, and which she acknowledged
by frequent bows 10 the right and left,
each one of these being the signal for
another outburst of cheering At this
point l could not fail to mark the
healthy appearance that her majesty
presented. She seemed entirely recover
ed from her long and dusty ride in the
close railway carriage, and her cheeks
showed a color that many a younger
woman would have envied. As the car
rage ride increased in distance her af-
liability was more plainly shown by nu-
merous bows right and left. -Manches-

Dressing the Neck.

The stock collar and the stiff linen
collar which so many women affect, al
though quite unbecoming i'll some cases,
yet are ruinous TO the beauty Of the
neck Low collars of soft frills and
stand up rufiies or plaits, which stand
off as well as up, instead of hugging the
neck so closely as to exclude all air
and interfere with the free circulation,
are greatly to be preferred if woman
wishes to preserve her neck fair, smooth
and shapely. A neck trimming can be
worn high without being made close
fitting. Chicago Tribune.

National Council of Women.

The time is now fixed for the conven-
ton of the national council of women
of the United States. 1t is for February,
1895, and is to be held in Washington.
There are now II national associations
belonging to the council, which repre-
sents a constituency of about 700, 900
women. The executive committee of the
council has passed resolutions on the
subject of dress reform, favoring patri-
otto instruction, divorce reform and an
equal standard of morality for men and
women. The resolution on divorce re-
form reads:
Resolved. That as divorce is measure equal
~ concerning both sexes, we hold 1t just that
all commissions created to deal with divorce
should be representative of both To this end
we, organization of national organizations
comprising about 100000 representative wom-
en-, request Of the appointing power in each
state, whether gubernatorial or legislative
that all such commissions hereafter to be ap-
pointed shall be composed Of both men and
women in equal numbers.
That we ask the National Divorce Reform
league to take no steps toward altering exist
ing laws without comforting with the national
council Of women of the United States through
its standing committee on divorce reform
That we instruct our committee on divorce
reform to ask for hearing before the Divorce
Reform league at its next meeting in order TO
provide for cooperation between men and wo-
men in regard TO this measure, which equally
affects both.
That the first step toward the elevation OF
the home is TO put man and woman as home
makers in position Of legal equality.
That a letter be sent to the governor of each
STATE and territory, asking him to call the at
tention of the legislature to the situation con-
corning divorce laws, requesting the appoint
ment of a commission to consider the matter,
to consist equally of men and women.

VIII Anpofnt Women.

Mayor Schieren announced the other
day that he would appoint several wo-
men as members of the Brooklyn board
of education next year, but that he
could not make such appointments this
year because he had selected 10 men to
fill the vacancies which occurred on
July before he received the petition of
the women TO have their sex represent
ed. He said:
81 am sorry TO say that am so placed
now that l cannot comply with the re-
quest of the ladies. 1 would like to do
so, but the list of ID members Of the
board is selected. l think women should
be represented in the board of education.
Questions arise there which woman
seems to have a natural intuition to
judge as to their practicability or i'm
practicability. This is especially true
as to the studies of children. l believe
that some of these studies are entirely
too severe for the age of childhood /
believe that women = mothers - are
more apt TO judge the capacity of chill
dren. Men are apt TO overcrowd the
children. They expect too much from
them 1 have conversed with several Of
the women teachers, and they are heart
lily in favor of the change
THE constitutional convention should
be petitiOned by enc women TO pass a
resolution making It mandatory upon
mayors or commissioners, as the case
may be, to appoint at least one-third
women on any board of education. For
some reason which [ cannot understand
the impression has gone out that L have
been opposed to the appointment Of
women. Such an impression could not
have had its origin from anything have
said on the subject. l have always held
the ideas 1 now proclaim. "-Brooklyn

Council of women-wOmen's Affairs In
EagIand-A Successful Business Woman.
The most progressive and aggressive
body of women in the United States Is
probably the Chicago Woman's club. 1t
would be no easy task 10 enumerate all
the worthy reforms which have origi-
mated in this club and have been success
fully carried ont by committees of ener-
getic women. The Chicago university is
the only one in the history of the world
that included in its very conception
the equal educational rights and privi
leges of women Two dormitory halls,
presided over by women, provide re-
spectively home for 200 girls. One of
these was erected by women for women
and is, as far as known, the only one of
the kind. 1t is the gift of the women of
Chicago at cost of $3.50, 900. The fund
was raised largely through the editorial
efforts of Mrs. Margaret f. Sullivan of
the Chicago Herald, who showed, in
able articles, what large sums women
in all ages had given to help support
mems colleges, while wonen's colleges
were often badly crippled for need Of
money The club was responsive to Mrs.
Sullivan's appeals, the president head
ing the list with $1,000, and in less
than two weeks the funds were raised
for the erection and equipment Of the
splendid structure. One Of the most i'm
portant steps achieved by the Chicago
club is the appointment of women on
the Chicago school board. Mrs. Lucy
l. Flowers term is not yet expired, but
she has done such satisfactory work that
another woman, Mrs. Caroline K. Sher-
man, has been appointed lately. Mrs.
Flower is considered the best represent
ative of the working element for the
club, having been for many years at the
head of the reform committee. Being d
teacher before she was married, and
coming from the east, where women on
the school boards are taken as a matter
of fact, Mrs. Flower was we'll equipped

Earrings.

1t is said ON good authority that
small drop earrings are to be worn

fact of how completely any but a dia-
mond solitaire earring has vanished
from the ranks of fashion. The present
demand for small ornaments-buckles
slides, lace and hatpins and the innu-
merable other trinl1ets in sold and silver
which are now in vogue-has given q
distinct impetus to the trade Of the jew
