The Vvornan's Edition.


/ BY Mrs. Kate q. Paul Of Harrisonburg1.
just now the proper caper with every leading
paper
In every town and city of the land
The height of its ambition, is grand.
Woman's Edition,
The work, of womail's brain and heart and
hand.
The fad is epidemic, sporadic and endemic,
Sweeping DER the country north and south;
A fever journalistic, literary and linguistic
Like the long continued. universal drought.
And every maid and ,natron is an editor or
patron,
All our sisters and our cousins and our
aunts;
And we write with much conciseness and
rhetorical preciseness.
OF matters Internationally Germany and
France.
We dash off editorials, reviews, essays, memo
rails,
With the utmost ease, felicity and grace;
And along with our reflections on the recent
State electious,
Give pointers on the coming Presidential
race.
Our tone is quite non partisan, to millionaire
or artisan:
And in all the social problems of the day.
We meet the issue squarely and settle it quite
fairly,
In lady-like, unbiased sort Of way.
We counsel moderation in the guidance Of
the nation,
And while our voice shall never be for
gore,
We're for Cuban annexation, and we view
with much vexatlOn
The encroachment of the British on our
shore.
In all affairs financial our views are most
substantial;
In sound money, and lots of it. we believe,
Whether silver, gold, or greenbacks; there's
nothing our lands lacks.
That money -matrimony-can't relieve.
In all questions diplomatic, republican or
democratic.
Our policy shall be both sides to please.
All commercial news is quoted, and our
columns are devoted
To the Dewest styles in dinners, balls, and
teas.
we have selected
Dainty reading, such as suits their taste.
Sporting news and social chats, the latest
thing in canes and hats,
Much that will amuse them in our pages
is embraced.
But our chief topic and story, our inspiration
a and our glory.
Our r0ison d etre. our thesis and our dream
Is woman ! always Woman Tie New York
Woman-every woman!
Her advancement is our everlasting theme
Her aims and aspirations, her clubs and fed
erations.
Her unions, her congresses, her boards,
Her schools of fencing, Of design, every
avenue, in fine,
Where she works with brush, or pen, o.
tongue or sword.
Her reforms, her genealogies, her historical
analogies,
| Her ancestors who were in the Indian wars
And Gin her estimation. the great parties Of

Her Colonial Danes and ID. A. RS.
Her suffrage, her theosophy, her ceramics
| her philosophy,
Her athletics, her dietics. and her fans;
Her cosmetics and her sonnets, her bloomer
and her bonnets,
Everything. in fact, that's hers, and isn't

And if our grand edition shall serve no Othe

Twill show to all as clearly as the day,
In a way that's strange and funny, with new

With little we can make very great dis
play.

secret of this prejudice lies in the fact
that the part in the middle Of the fore
head undoubtedly makes one look
older; and if there is anything which
the French woman breads as she
would a plague it is the appear
ance of age. She will rouge her cheeks
and dye her hair at the risk of her life
rather than admit her age and quietly
accept the situation as the English
woman does. In this respect the
American woman is very like the
French, but she is given to fads, and for
awhile the English couture pleased her,
but it is only fad, and it will probably
not outlast the summer.

pretty couture, I should say: Take a

last, they should be shaded simply with
faint touches of green.
A band of velvety pansies across a
card makes, also. very attractive de-
sign. The coloring of these dear little
flowers is so endlessly varied. and the
fancy Tor special color is so different,
too, that it is hardly necessary to tell
how to paint them. Always, except in
some few of the very darkest purple
pansies, there is at least tiny spot Of
white in the center of each blossom,
and the dark shadows on the three
lower petals should be black. This card
viii be most effective If the colors of
the flowers are chosen with some va
riety, perhaps two purple and yellow,
one very dark purple and one all yell
low and white. A dark shadow, made
of mixture of black and green paint,
behind the blossoms will improve them.
The line each side of the band of pam
sizes may be painted in gold, as also the
little fine decoration beyond, and the
lettering looks well with slight shad-
ing of green or purple.
The white narcissus, which is essen
tally an Easter flower, is dainty and
very easy to paint The shadows on
the petals should be a pale transparent
gray-green. darker where the edges
turn over, and the center a deep orange
yellow. A narrow gold outline to the
flowers is pretty. and delicate, feathery
gold grasses make an artistic finish.
A bit of verse is often the most at
tractive part of an Easter card. One Of
Emerson's stanzas is quite apropos:
Hearts are dust; hearts loves re-
main; hearts loves shall meet thee
again
On a card where Easter lilies are
growing upon their tall stalks among
Ginning bells ere these words:
Eye deep-tOned bells,
Do We with voice sublime
Announce the sOlem dawn
Or Easter day"
Another verse which seems to suit
the mood of the season is this:

II In washing IN the clouds the brush
has run over on to the portion which is
meant to be left white, a small brush
with little Chinese white will touch
up the spots and make it good again.
For the Louis Cuinze borders, which
make such dainty and popular finish
to any kind of a card, much care is
needed in the drawing. This should be
done first in pencil, and then gone over
with a small brush and thick gold
paint. Loose violets scattered over the
card, or a bunch tied together with q
pretty bowknot, will be easily painted.
The petals of violets should be of q
rather deep color at the ends. with
paler, or even white streaks radiating
from the center, and tiny touch of
deep yellow in the very middle of each
flower Green stems and green and
gold lettering give an added touch of
color The color of the violets is a
matter Of individual taste: they may be
the most familiar purple, or the more
delicate pale yellow or white. If tbs

Is one thing more to say, and that is
that the particular arrangement that is
becoming TO each woman should he her
own individual style, and the sugges-
tons here given are only offered as ex-
amples TO try and discard if they era
not becoming. for no rule of fashion is
less binding than that which relates to
head dress.
There are three striking features
which characterize the new spring
dresses, any one of which is sufficient
TO make a dress look modern and first
hand. These are: Long shoulders,
blouse waists and wide skirts. The
long shoulders are not especially new.
They are merely more of the same.
However. they are none the less a de-
cidedly spring feature. A glace silk in
an odd blue shade shows the long
shoulders made very fat with Jet en-
broidered epaulets caught down over
very full pulled sleeves. The waist is
a blouse of sccordion-plaiteds silk. with
one wide box plat in front, the whole

Trying to Atone

A sea-captain who lived in Washing
ton during his stays on land had a
great fancy for fowls of all sorts and
especially priced an old gobbler which
had been long in his possession. From
one cruise he brought home a mis-
chievous young monkey. which made
as much trouble as the proverbial
while elephant" One day, hearing a
terrible commotion in the hennery, the
captain entered and found Jocko with
the gobbler under his arm. while he
was deliberately pulling cut the poor

rescued the turkey and punished the
monkey severely, who knew very well
why he was chastised. The next day.

away with any mannish look it might
otherwise have. French women cling
to the one solitary little curl il the
middle of the forehead. Only one style
follows the English, and in this the
hair is SO fluffy that the part is hardly
visible. Another part of her anatomy
which gives the French woman much
trouble is the ear. She objects to ears,
and she covers them up whenever she
can. The present modes are of great
assistance to her in the attainment Of
this object, for, to tell the truth, ears
are not fashionable anywhere. For
elaborate head-dress the puff is the
correct thing, especially for matrons,

II dian red in the shadows. and for the
thorns; the leaves will be prettier if
rather pale. For the large letters for
the word Easter, a good effect will be
made by leaving them white, or paint
ing them pale green with an outline of
gold, and gray shadow to bring them
out more sharply. 1t is a good plan,
by the way, in this kind of work, to
use these greenish or brownish gray
shadows as much as possible, for they
give a much more real effect to ones
work, and add very much to its
beauty. The same design is charming,
too, when treated in yellow and silver,
making the flowers the pretty, uncom-
mon bright yellow of Cherokee roses.
With the crescent of silver, and the out
lining of the letters, and perhaps mar
row, irregular edge of silver, the card
would be quite original.
Ascension lilies are, OF course, used a.
great deal oftener than any other
flower in the designs for Easter cards,
and, therefore, variety in their treat
ment is especially difficult of attain
ment. A novel idea is shown in the
illustration. The card should be quite
large one, perhaps six inches by four.

word Easter (in the shape OF a cross

ihairpins. This, of course, WIS because
the poor things had no such conven-
fences, for the woman who could not
appreciate the value and varied uses OF
the hairpin would be a very unfemiI.ine
creature. For lack of these useful ac-
cessories the simple Grecian maidens
were sadly limited in their opportuni-
ties for variety and originality of colt
flre. It was all the same Psyche knot
which, by the way, is q misnomer,
for Psyche no more deserves the credit
for originating that couture than does
our own Pocahontas for example.
Pocahontas was wise and seldom "did"
her stiff black locks at all: but when
she did she tied them N knot which
Pyche could not have improved upon,
and the only difference was that hers
was black and Psyche's was gold. But
neither of these primitive females
knew the joys Of the modern maid,
whose chief charm is in the arrange
ment of her tresses. Beauty draws
us by single hair" is ell very well for
poetry, but practical charmers know
that the seductive sorcery of judicious-
ly arranged locks in decidedly plural
number is what the poet really meant
TO refer to.
The appliances used Ia the construc-
ton Of the couture change with the
fashions, but the number of them at
any stated time would fill a good-sized
carpenters tool box. The hair dress
ing art is just now in a state of transit
ton; when to wave or not TO wave is
the burning question. The decision is
almost sure to be eventually in favor OF
the affirmative, so that the possessors
of curling tongs and waving irons had
better not be too hasty about putting
them aside. The ultra-fashionable
woman of the moment is decidedly fat
headed, with her hair parted and past
ed with shell combs, and her Dutch
bonnet set back over the knot at the
back of her head; but this style can
not continue when the summer sun be-
gins to get in his heavy work, and it
will not be long before women will be
making artificial bumps Of reverence
and self-esteem in the place where the
phrenologists says they ought to be.
Nothing but the curling iron viii give
the hair the fluffy look which the
French women have always cultivated.
