Famous Elizabeth Fry.

The family of Elizabeth Fry belonged
to the society of friends but she alone
wore the garb and obeyed their rules
She was one Of eleven children. AS an
Instance of the fearlessness Of her con-
victions of right and her consequent ac-
tions, even as a young girl. II is told
of her that when on one occasion a royal
prince. a son of George III, was her
fathers guest she asked him to leave
a gay company assembled in the draw
ing-room and go with her to the school
room, where she preached him a little
sermon in quaker style and language,
which he received I'm all humility.
When the young girl, who was destined
TO do such a great work in ameliOrating
the deplorable condition of the women
prisoners at Newgate, arrived at a mar
riageable age, she was sought by several
quaker youths, none of whom pleased
her fancy, and among them was Joseph
Fry. He did not, however, become dis
couraged at his rejection, but asked a
mutual friend who was about to pay
a visit TO the family of his ladylove to
Then I shall tell him he has every
hope" said the friend. And II so proved.
Though her marriage transplanted her
from a luxurious home and gay sur
roundings to an old-fashioned house in
dark London court, her serenity and
cheerfulness were unimpaired, and she
held firmly 10 the faith that she had been
led by the inward monitor. ascribing her
whole course of usefulness to her fellow
beings TO her marriage and her cOnse-
quent life in London. 1t was not, how
ever, till she had been married many
years and was the mother of ten children
that her attention was first called to the
wretched and demoraliZing condition of
the unhappy women to whom she proved
so true a friend and benefactor.-Phila-

The sunrnge Question.

Whether we believe i'm the suffrage

out responsibility leads TO waste or to
abuse. 1t cannot exist long harmless in
the world unless something Is given it
to do. We may deplore the necessity,
but we see it's inevitableness. The wom-
an force has gained a momentum that
cannot be staid until a last experiment is
tried
Probably at first the results of suffrage
will belle exaggerated expectations on the
one hand and calamitous predictions on
the other. Those who have prophesied
great changes and upheavals will be sur

IN LOVE WITH HER CLOTHES.
Judic ChoIIet Says the Gown often

1t has been a stock accusation against
women for ages that they are fond Of

fact as a sufficient reason why women

for dress is absolutely true what possible

Decorating a Dining Room.

A dining-room with white walls was
made very attractive for several enter
tainments by having the side walls
covered with pale green Grape paper.
From the center of the ceiling scarfs of
the paper in two shades of green and one
of soft pink were carried to the side
wall. where they ended under a festoon
OF the paper that formed a border In
the center Of the room the ends were con-
cealed by a large chrysanthemum. The
scarfs Of paper were given a spreading
effect by being cut very wide and folded
lengthwise I'm the middle. Both edges
were then given a frilled effect by draw
ing them over the fOrefinger as in fiut-
ing the edges of lamp shades. The same
paper should be used for candle shades,
but the less of il there is upon the dining
table in the way of flowers the better.
