Paolsing Away For summer.

There are few things among the house
keepers duties that are as imperfectly
understood and about which so much
unnecessary fuss is made as the putting
away of winter clothing and furs in
order to keep them safely and prevent
the rayages of moths. Plans innumer-
able are devised, and chemicals and
drugs without limit are recommended,
and all the while the industrious de-
stroyer goes on, and when autumn comes
little is left but perforations to tell the
story of failure. Very little is required

Chicago's Woman Druggist.

Mrs. Ida Hall Roby is the pioneer
woman druggist of Chicago, and she
does fourishing business. She is a
native of Rochester, but has lived in
Chicago for over 20 years. When in
1880 she was thrown upon her own sup
port, she applied for position as drug
clerk at a pharmacy near her home.
During her four years apprenticeship
there she made the acquaintance and
won the esteem of many physicians in
the neighborhood, so that when she
started business for herself st the end OF
that time she had already quite Glen

The only woman astronomer of any
importance on the Pacific coast is Miss
Rose O'Halloran. She is also the only
woman member of the Astronomical So
Ciety of the Pacific, having been nom1-
mated to the honor by Professor Holden
From her earliest childhood she was at
tracted by astronomy, and it was the
one study that was always a pleasure
and never task.
In appearance Miss O'Halloran is in
teresting She Is very small, with
well shaped head firmly set on small
shoulders and held up with that indie
scribable air that denotes character. Her
ewes are gray, with circles about them
that tell of watching at night, but they
are very pleasant, cheerful eyes for all
that She dresses with the utmost sim
plicity.
Miss O'Halloran was born in Carrick-
on-Suir, Tipperary, Ireland. Her father
was well to do, and his daughter re-
the family wealth rapidly disappeared,
and the carefully raised daughter had
to think about earning a living. Miss
O'Halloran came to America and began
teaching, and she naturally chose as
tronomy, her favorite subject, as her
specially. She managed to keep up her
independent observations in spite of the
difficulty of teaching all day and star
gazing all night. Her chief difficulty
was the lack of fitting instrument for
her work She was at last enabled to
obtain her hearts desire Professor
George Davidson became interested in
her struggles, and it was by the help of
his wife and himself she finally owned

The room where Miss O'Halloran and
the telescope do their work is an observ-
atory and classroom combined, for she
still finds it necessary to teach. In place
of pictures the observatory is hung with
maps and charts of the heavens. Just
now she is looking for variable stars.
On every clear night she scans the heay
ems in the region of Scorpion. Each
night she draws map ON which the

she will determine what stars she sup
poses to be variable in Scorpion. On
Jan. 10, 1898, she observed and sketched
rapidly developing group of spots near
the suns western limb. The return of
the group ON the eastern limb was first
seen ON Feb. 4. This group was identi-
fed with the great February sun spot
group. so that Miss O'Ha1loran was one
of the very earliest Observers and pos
sibly the earliest, which shows what
can be accomplished by industry even
with nothing better than 4 inch tele-
scope. During years of struggle and
study she has added to her income by
writing astronomical articles for maya
zines.
At present Miss O'Halloran is collect
ing material for book. She expects it
to take years, but some day all the maps
and diagrams she is drawing will be
collected and published. San Francisco

Jackets of the Season.

There have been many conjectures as
place of Elton. The Spanish, the figaro
and others have been suggested, but the
indications are that it is going to take
its own place.
1t is so convenient, so comfortable
and so universally becoming that the
wonder is we have been without it all

about them is the fact that they can be
so endlessly varied. They can be made
with sleeves and without, with revers
and collar, or with only one or neither
Then they may be trimmed or made alb
solutely plain.
The only thing in the coat line which
is giving the Elton any race at all is that
close fitting jacket that reaches to the
waist, with a vest in front and a short,
full basque at the back. The jacket which
gave rise to these remarks is a regula-

It has no sleeves, and in their place
are sleeve capes composed of two

A Question of Simple Justice.

Prior to 25 years age there were no
women's clubs in the country. Today
there are no fewer than 500 feminine
organizations, representing member
ship of more than so, 900 women, and
these have been called into existence and
carried ON with continuous propriety by
my own sex exclusively. These clubs
concern themselves with the discussion
of every important question of the day,
and great number of them give espe-
cial attention to political study.
AS women become famiiarized with
politics from governmental and consti-
tutional points of view they develop
an interest in the ballot and begin to
recognize that in simple Justice the pre-
rogative Of a vote should be accorded
them. Therefore, in my estimation, the
opinion that women should have vote
is spreading widely among the progress
i've and intelligent women of the day.
Among these I recognize many women
who only a few years ago were arrayed
in the strongest opposition to the WON
ans suffrage movement
In the ranks of illiterate or ignorant
women ] do not think the subject has
