Susan B. Anthony. Plain Talk.

There are women whose souls never
rise above red tape. 1t is sad thing to
be the husband or child of such woman
= Z, 4. a n
servant. Then again there are women
who have q wholesome contempt for
quibbling. They regard the fact, not
the fashion; the end of the road, not the
windings along the way. Susan B. An
thony is one of these women.
"See here" she said at the recent ma
tional convention of woman suffragists,
''you can tangle me up in just two min
utes if that's what you've come all the
way down to Washington to do. don't
know much about parliamentary law.
I've always had too much to do to learn
how not to do it. If you want to teach
me, why, go ahead. If you want to help
do the work for which we are gathered
here, then put your red tape in your
pocket and come down to business"
1t is positively astonishing how plainly
"Aunt" Susan can talk to her hearers and
yet not offend. It is undoubtedly be-
cause Of her absolute sincerity and ear
nestness. No one gets mad" at Aunt
SusaA.-New York Sun.

A Noble ORGANIZATION.

The Working Women's Protective
union was formed in the au,umn Of 1862.
and in its 80 years of life nas investigat-
ed 365, 900 applications, an average Of
nearly 40 for every working day OF its
existence: has furnished employment to
So, $50 women and has collected S57 6l2,
money earned by but withheld from
working women, free of all cost to them.
Besides collecting this amount of money,
it has settled $4,000 disputes out of court.
The cost of carrying on this great work
is only about $4,000 year, to obtain
which the union relies on voluntary aid.
Seldom is SO much good done 30 cheaply.
Officers, directors, counsel, attorney, do
their work without pay. The expendi-
lures Of the union are wholly for rent,
legal fees, clerical work and incidental
expenses.
The work of the union is not bounded
by the limits of New York city. All
working women except household serv-
ants in Brooklyn, Jersey City and the vi
cinity Of New York may share its bene-
6ta To more than these, however, the
union has opened the doors Of the courts,
for through its influence law has been
passed imposing triple costs on employ
srs proved in court to have defrauded
their women employees, and this law
covers the entire state.
The fact that protective union ex-
lsts, with the means and determination
to resist every wrong done to working
women. of itself prevents the commits
zion of many such wrongs. 1t also aids
In correcting greater number of such
wrongs which have been committed, and
the rendering Of free justice to those
who, without the unions existence,
would be almost helpless.-New York

A Wedding F.uoy.

If you are to be the bride, here Is q
novelty which will delight your brides
maids and be in itsProphecies after che
gracious grandmother fashion in its
sweet simplicity. Laid around the cake
are FIVE white gAtin bags exactly alike,
holding either ring, thimble, silver
dime or button. The bride takes the
bags off during the breakfast and pre-.
sents them to her principal bridesmaids.
She who gets the ring will be married
first, the young lady who finds the but
ton in her bag must make up her mind
to remain single, and she who takes the
silver piece will be wealthy, Sometimes
very valuable ring is sent by the fu-
ture bride to be included in her brides
maids bags.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

TheIr FIrst Appearance.

More than the usual amount Of inter
est was shown in the recent municipal
elections at Hobart, Tasmania, owing
chiefly to the first appearance Of women
ratepayers entitled to vote. According
to the Hobart Mercury, the women voted
in "a businesshke style" They had evil
IDENTIFY made up their minds to win. Four
women were waiting at the door when it
was opened at 0 in the morning. They
were but the heralds of the other ladies,
the majority of whom streamed in and
voted with as little concern and as much
confidence as if they had been long ac-
customed to the routine Of the ballot box.

Rad Riding Hahitn.

A San Francisco paper furnishes some
information to the effect that the red
hunting costume adopted by the English
ladies last fall is about to be introduced
in San francisco and New York by
prominent society women. Ladies are
reported to be wildly enthusiastic over
this festive change from somber black to
bright red. and these gay ''riding habits
are being made in large numbers" In
cut and style they are like the regulation
costume, except that there is no cutaway
for a white shirt front, the jacket being
buttoned straight up to the neck and fin
ished with a high collar. The San Fran
cisco lady who will soon appear in this
brilliant habit is to have red silk hat,
red chamois skin gloves and red mo-
rocco shoes A good looking woman
looks her best in the well fitted conven-
honal habit, but how this new innova-
ton of color will affect her appearance

she is seen in all her gorgeousness.

The start was fixed for 10 O'Clock,
and shortly before that hour the shouts
of the spectators announced that the
horses were of. Unlike the custom in
toboggan races, both started at the same
time. In the first course Lord William

Chicago has the first woman setter Of
music type in the person of Mrs. L. s.
Jones. Mrs. Jones is said to be the pi-
oneer of her sex in this work in this
country. She thinks it valuable and
very suitable trade for women, as it re-
quires patience and neatness rather than
strength. She is of New England birth
and learned her trade in Boston against

Sleighs drawn by four horses are en-
ployed on the Wellington street route.
The heavily loaded sleigh was coming
cityward. One of the horses next the
vehicle fell. The driver lashed it with
his whip. Then he kicked it. Finally
he swore at it. But he did not get down
to extricate the animal from the harness
which held it a prisoner. The men in
the sleigh buried their chins in their
Uvercoats and indulged the contempla-
ton of fatalsm as q philosophy which
removes every passion from the breast.
Suddenly a. .laay, clad in sealskin sack,
got ont, snd5going up to the driver said
to him in an imperative way, "Give me
that whip" The driver was dazed. In
a stupefed way he handed over the whip
"Now," said the little lady, ''if you
touch that horse again will let you
feel the weight of this whip across your
shoulders. Get dopEn this moment and
cut the harness and halp the horse to
rise" The driver ssared at her. The
women in the sleigh Uttered the men
hung their heads. "Get down this mo-
ment," said the lady, shaking the whip
over the driver. The latter mechanically
obeyed. (, The harness was loosened; the
horse was raised to its feet. The lady
put her hand in her satchel, brought
forth some biscuits and treated the four
horses to one each. The effect was mag
ical. The hopeless cynicism of their
poor faces gave place to hope and love
and gratitude. Then the lady, very
white, but as resolute as Joan of Arc
ever was, entered the sleigh The men
still hung their heads in silence.-Mon-
