tirely different costume. This lie a point
taken advantage of by many maid of
slender means, and by another trick she
may make herself doubly envied at
little expense. She can easily give the
impression that she has sailor hat for
EACH shirt waist by providing herself
with lot of hat bande. These are cut
just the right length, and have button
holed places for the prongs OF the buckle
to go through. The buckle is silver,
and modest outfit is complete with one
or two of them, which may be adjusted
to each change of band. though it is
better if each OF the bands has its own
buckle all passed through. In this case
the buckle has a little under row of
hooks, and these catch into tiny silver
rings on the hemmed end OF tina band.
There lie just single move and the new
band is adjusted, or loosened. The rib.
bon should match the color of the waist
or the trimmings. 1t is deemed theivery
best taste to have the waist trimmed
with ribbon, to havs the band OF hat

decided rep. With white duck gown,
the swagger thing is made band of

There is fancy also for ''studding" the
hatband instead Of running it through

are inserted along the width OF the band,

The Rirhts of Women.

It is not quite easy to explain the VI
tality at the present hour of certain old
questions affecting what are called the
rights of women. Men have been pa
tiently, and, on the whole, conscien-
tiously trying to give due recognition OF
these rights for the last quarter OF
century. Women, married or single, can
do in these days with their property
very much what they please. The hus-
band has ceased to have any legal con-
troll over his wife's earnings, and in tes-
tamentary disposition woman is rath'
er more free than a man to do what she
likes with her own.
The learned professions are open to
women, and the universities have at
least furnished them with "annexes"
and admitted them to competition for
degrees They can give their minds to
the study Of Greek or the making Of
puddings; they can become Journalists

Miss Philbrooke's Application Denied.

Miss Mary Philbroolle Of Hoboken,
the first woman to apply to the New
Jersey supreme court for examination
for admission to practice as an attorney
at law, failed to receive the privilege
the other day. Justice Reed made the
announcement and later filed a short
opinion giving the reasons Of the court
for it's denial. The opinion says that
until the legislature grants to women
the privilege Of becoming attorneys at
law the weight of reason and authority
is against the existence of the right.
The Massachusetts case, in which adj
mission was refused to Leila J. Robin
son in June, 1881, is referred to and
case it was held that the word "citi.-
zen" when used in its more common
and comprehensive sense, doubtless in
cludes women, but woman is not by
virtue of her citizenship vested by the
federal or Massachusetts constitutions
with absolute right to take part in the
government either as voter or as an
officer to be admitted to practice as an
attorney. Miss Philbrooke studied law
in the office of Gaede & Minturn, at
HobolSen, and made application at the
opening Of the February term, but her
case was laid over to give the justices
opportunity for consultation. She is a
notary public, having received COM
mission as such under the VOORHEES,
law passed by the last legislature 1t
is probable that the next Legislature
will be asked to pass law making
women eligible to practice law.

AN ARGUMENT AGAINST WOMAN'S
SUFFRAGE THAT is NOT SOUND.

A Japanese Girl Student-The Rights of
womcn-The Divided Skirt on Horse
back-1Iiss Philbrooke's Application De-
nicd-woman's Foot Growing Larger.
One of the strong arguments used by
the opponents of woman's rights is that
she is not mechanical, and that women
have done nothing to contribute to the
comfort of the labor saving DEVICES that
are used even in their own homes.
Whatever truth there may have been in
this objection, we cannot SEQ whel it
applies against suffrage. 1t is evident,
however, that women are entering that
field which men have hitherto claimed
as exclusively their own We see by the
latest English patent reports that even
in Great Britain women are entering
the departments of the mechanical arts
with success. Mrs. Maria Goltz of Lon
don has recently taken out a patent for
a very valuable improvement in cook
ing stoves. Miss Maria Kirchner of the
same city has secured patent for an
improvement in such woven articles as
hats, shoe uppers, gloves and the like.
Mrs. Susie Simmons of Kent has Sc
cured patents for an apparatus for pre-.
venting accidents due to collisions Oh
railroads or Of ordinary vehicles.
In America women have entered the
field of science as well equipped and
with as strong and correct spirit of in
vestigation as the men. Already they
occupy high position in the medical
profession, and old practitioners are no
longer afaid of losing caste by meeting
women doctors in consultation. Many
American women graduates are taking
postgraduate course in biology and
the study of lower organic life. Higher
special work is largely confined at pres
emit to women of scholarly leisure and
liberal income. The best facilities for
pursuing these specialized studies are to
be had at Cambridge, Cornell, Bryn
Mawr and Johns Hopkins university.
All women's colleges in the country
are in close communication with the
bureaus of meteorology and astronomy in
Washington and the United States. 1t
is flattering to the sex and to the men
who admire them to know that college
bred women are employed as computors
in the observatories of Harvard and
Yale and in the Naval observatory at
The facts that led to Pro-
fessor Piokering's late theory as to dou-
BILE stars were the discovery of Miss
Murray of Harvard. The sociological
problems Of the day are evoking special
lied search in domestic science and san
itation, tho demonstrations of which
were to be seen at the Worlds fair in
the New York model workingmen' s
home. 1t should be said in this connec-
ton that the advances made by women
have not been accomplished, as some
might believe, through the assistance
given by men, but rather in the face of
the most violent opposition. And so we
say all hail to the advancement of intel
lectual women. New York Dispatch.
