woman,s Good Influence.

Take the great cities of the country
that are so badly mismanaged, and you
find organizations of women banded to-
gether not to do harm to the city or to
put forth temptations that degrade and
drag down it's inhabitants, but to Sc
cure clean streets and to do the best
good they can. Take New York, Chica-
go, Philadelphia and other cities, and
you find women banded together for
that purpose. l believe that it is much
better for us to be interested in good
sewerage, good water supply, good air
and good moral surroundings than to
be interested in foreign missions, which
are not of quite as close interest to us
as the conditions which surround our
own homes. AS to the suffrage taking
up women's time and putting upon us
responsibilities, l believe that it will
be much easier for women of city to
go to the polls on election day and vote
for the men who will see that these
things are brought into the life Of the
city to make for it good health than for
them to take the extra work of nursing
children suffering from diphtheria and
scarlet fever 1t Is much easier to vote
for a good condition Of the town than
to take care of the bad condition. We
have here a lady who was elected to
the school board of Quincy, Mass. She
went to work at certain school. She
asked the privilege of doing SO, simply
because the children who attended that
school were SO unhealthy and SO many
of them died. The disease seemed to be
of the worst character The discoveries
that she made in the building were
enough to shock any good housekeeper
She went to work, cleaned the house
from top to bottom and found in the eel
lar sunken tub, into which had been
dripping water from leaks until the en-
tire tub had rotted away and the stencil
had permeated the whole building. The
children were dying by the score. She
went to work and did the general house
cleaning of that school. And I submit
to you she was much better adapted to
it than any man in the city Of Quincy,
and the work was certainly not an add
ed burden to the city Of Quincy, but a
great relief Anna Shaw in Womans

with flowers as far as it is seen. In
some cases the tam part, the soft part
that gives lite character to the headdress,
is tipped away over from the head band
and rests softly against the head to one
eide, while on the other the band ia ex-
posed and the folds of the soft crown
stand up in curves. Against this up
right part is placed cluster of soft
plumes which sweep over the top OF the
tam, with tips curling to the opposite
side of it and resting on the hair. In
one case a curious and trying effect

from the back to the top OF the hat pre-
sents toboggsn-like appearance. There
is no trimming, except that the head
band showing in front is drawn through
a long, jeweled buckle, and a knot of
ribbon is set iauntily against the up
folds of the soft top where it is drawn
away from the front.

band OF black and, perhaps, on one side
a couple of plumes and buckle suffice,
but this style OF hat seldom shows the
style of trimming which spreads to the
sides. Very stylish hats are of light
straw in this sort OF shape, with a mar
row black ribbon band knotted fatty in
front, and with no other trimming.
These hats are worn with all sorts of
gowns, but especially adapt themselves
to the GUNNER tailor-made fashions.

Tho Black Violet Reigns.

No matter the price or for what &C.
casion, the summer hat of fashion must
blossom with black violets. The hat
may be Of pale green or vivid red, but
black violets in all their somber gro
tesqueness are plainly in evidence. Some
times, in combination with light straw,
they produce chic effect. For exam
pie, one of the new sailor hats is made
of coarse straw, the tulip green shade.
