by u layer Of wadding, her curving,
scrawny shoulder blades that would
otherwise pierce the sensibilities Of her

see to making mp is the suggestion it
gives Of un~cleanliness, but that can be
obviated with care Of course there are

any alarm over the degree to which it
will be deceived.
"The trouble with the average woman
IS that she won't realize how little de-
ception can be practiced in this regard.
She starts out by applying q faint,
scarcely perceptible bloom and ends up
with a vermilion coating that could be
scraped off with a trowel. Were l a man

rouge pot, and what eyes could look
love to eyes, ever to eyes that spoke

seemed the reflection of those long, thick
eyelashes was in reality produced by a
painstaking application Of the pencil?

A Good Time to Buy Furs.

This is a capital time to buy furs. 1t
sounds ridiculous, doesn't it, when the
sun is blazing away in the heavens and
muslins are the only wear, but it is true.
I realized it myself yesterday when a
charming girl confided to me that she
had lowered between getting her life
insured and purchasing a sealskin coat.
She had finally decided on the former,
but to my notion a good sealskin often
insures ones safety, and therefore ones
life, in a much p~leasanter way than does
a mere policy. At this season there is a
great reduction in the price of furs, and
it is easy to leave an order and save
money when cold weather comes and
the garment is needed. AS for the fash
ions in fur, believe me, they are pretty
we'll settled by this time. Broadly
speaking, sealskin capes will be waist
length, jackets are moderately short, and
sleeves slightly more reasonable than
they were last year. Velvet, trimmed
heavily with fur, will continue to be
worn, but for more definite information
a trip to any first class furrier' will
suffice. I am only suggesting the eco
nOmic possibility Of the season and do
not venture to outline the fashions so
far ahead. New York Letter.

Progressive German Women.

Two papers have lately appeared in
Germany devoted to the interests Of the
fair sex under the titles of Die Frau
and Die Frauen Bewegung, which
may be translated, Woman and The
Woman's Movement. They mark an
epoch in that country. Up to within q
few years the German woman was noted
only for her domestic qualities and &C.
complishments. The home system of
that land regarded her merely as q fu-
ture wife and mother and trained and
treated her accordingly. The education
which the sex received in our own coun-
try and England was almost unknown
in the land of the kaiser.
The wealth and luxury which follow
ed the Franco-Prussian war and the
elevation of Prussia into the German
empire started a new set of forces in
operation, which are still profoundly
changing the old customs and thoughts
Of that land. Nowhere is this more Wis
ible than among the women. They are
now forming societies and clubs of all
sorts and are following in the footsteps
Of their American sisters.
At the late worlds council of women
they were represented by some women
Of vast ability and high culture, who
told the story to the other delegates of
the social and intellectual changes that
were transporting in the Rhinelands and
Of the appearance and development of
the new woman. One Of the leaders, the
Baroness Won Gezicki, said that in the
past five years her countrywomen had
organized themselves along every line
which was used in England and Amer
lea, and that it was only a question Of
time before there would be an Imperial
w. G. T. u, an Imperial Council Of
Women and an Imperial Woman Suf-
frage association in the fatherland the
same as in Great Britain and America.

Mrs. Theodore Thomas,

One of the most potent factors in the
success of Mr.. Theodore Thomas in Chi
cage was doubtless the fact Of his hay
ing married a Chicago woman, writes
Mrs. Hamilton Mott in The Ladies'
Home Journal. Mrs. Thomas, although
not a Chicagoan by birth, had resided in
that city for SO long a time before her
marriage that the people there had come
to feel a sense of pf0prietorship in her.
Mrs. Thomas, whose maiden name
was Rose Fay, was born in 1852, in the
parish Of st. Adams, VT, where her
father, the Rev. Charles Fay Of Boston,
q clergyman Of the Episcopal church,
was at hat time acting as rector. His
wife, Miss Emily Hopkins, was the
daughter Of the presiding bishop in the
house Of bishops, and it may be readily
imagined therefore that Mrs. Thomas is
by choice as by inheritance an Episco-
palian.
In appearance Mrs. Thomas is tall and
slight, Of fair complexion, with gray
eyes and brown hair. Her face betoken!
much Of the intellectually Of the cult
waited Bostonian. She dresses in qule
and excellent taste, preferring the dark
er shades Of brown for street wear, ans
reds or heliotropes for evening.

Women With Painted Faces.

A very observing writer declares:
"More women paint their faces today
than ever before. Whoever takes his
walks abroad and observes cannot fail
to perceive that fact. Not only is the

The Same Women After All.

The new o. coming woman will not
differ much from the old one, notwith.
standing all which has been said or pre-
dicted concerning her. She will wall
and COO, take soothing strip when she
is cutting teeth and be the same source
Of misery and happiness to doting par
ents when she is baby that she is now
As she grows apace she will go to
school, play with the boys, tear her
clothes, soil her hands and face, sur
reptitiously appropriate sweetmeats and
play mischief generally, as she does to-
day. When she reaches young m
hood, she will dress as fashion dictates,
bang her hair, or cut it off, or coil it on
top Of her head, pile nearly all her dress
ON her shoulders, put needle pointed
No. 2 shoes on No. 3 feet, paint and
powder to show the world her Creator
didn't give her the right complexion,
want new bonnet or two for every sea-
son of the year, fall in love, swing on
front yard gates, talk sweet nothings to
her best fellow, get married, have
babies, and in all other respects do
about as young ladies do nowadays.
The new woman, as painted, is a
myth. Time changes fashions and Gus
toms, and education and invention open
new fields for the employment of wom-
en-, enlarge their sphere of action and
usefulness, offer them a wider field in
which to display their power and worth
and to assert their God given rights
that man in his ignorance has withheld
from them.
But human nature today is the same
human nature which moved Adam and
Eve to costume themselves in the best
goods at hand and to multiply and re-
plenish the earth. The very same low
ing, devoted, self sacrificing women, the
same blushing brides, the Same kind,
doting young mothers and the same
fond, forgiving old ones will bless the
world in the future as they bless it to-
day. The world must be born owe,
again to produce a new The
old n is good enough. God bless her

To Brighten tho Silk Waist.

To brighten up the silk waist, which
was bought in the spring and Is now
perhaps a trife worse for wear, there is
nothing more, dainty than the plated
plastron Of nainsook or fine muslin. Sets
consisting of a soft turned down collar,
cuffs and a plated or frilled plastron
are selling in the shops. Take a glimpse
Of them and then make these airy moth
ings at home. If the silk waist is made
with a box plat down the front, cover
it with a plastron which fastens under
the collar at the neck and under the belt
at the waist line. 1t is extremely dainty
and fresh looking if made Of sheer white
lawn plated and edged at each side with
a wee frill of fine white French lace.
When this is worn, the collar and cuffs
must be made to match. Over q dark
blue silk waist a plastron Of grass linen
is effective. 1t may be edged with grass
linen embroidery. For evening wear a
lace plastron transforms q silk waist
which has seen much service into q
thing Of beauty.-Philadelphia Times.
