M HE committee

thusiasts, met

other matters pertaining to the
complete formation of the club.
The players will wear black jer-

been decided on.
The emblem which meets most
favor is one with the letters H. l..

The Wedding Gown.

Nt is high time for brides to think more about the becoming qualities of the wedding gown and less about con- yentlonality, for it is undeniably very trying costume, and it is only the inter est of the occasion, as we'll as the low ing sympathy of relatives and friends, which makes halo about a young won- an at time, that causes her to be con sidered beautiful. The truth of the mat ter, frankly stated, is that the majority of women never looked worse in their lives than when arrayed for the altar. Can anything be more trying, for in stance, than the usual high necked white satin bodice that incases a fair young girl possibly on a fiery hot day i'll summer? Even in winter the effect is to turn blond complexion yellow and make brunette look sallow and dark, and ill summer it is unspeakably ugly and uncomfortable.
 While low necked gowns are not con sldered good form for wedding attire (and certainly they are not desirable for broad daylight), it seems as if a com promise might be arranged between 2 ball cut bodice and the high. stiff collar now ill vogue. A young girls throat is generally too pretty to conceal under stiff 'wiGan' and folds of thick satin.

Council of Jewish Women.

The Hebrews as q race are careful and deliberate To his quality they owe their individuality and success But once started they display an energy and activity which are simply phenomenal. This has been the case with the Ma tional Council of Jewish Women. They were slow ill forming and in elaborat- ing perfect system of organization. But when this had been accomplished and all was ready they entered into the work of extension with an alacrity that was marvellous. As result they have completed an organization which covers every part of the Union. Wherever there is a Jewish community the council has an active branch of intell1- gent, benevolent and broad minded women The heads of the organization have been very skillful ill selecting able local managers in nearly every instance Among the moro active leaders are Mrs. H. Solomon of Chicago, Mrs. A. Kohut of New York, Miss Sadie American and Miss Rosalie Chaser of Chicago, Mrs Isabel R. Wallach and Mrs. Minnie D. Louis of New York, Mrs. Clifton Levy of Baltimore, Miss Kohler and Miss Wald of New York, Mrs. Carrie Ben jamin of Denver and Mrs. Ollesheim of New York. New York Mail and Ex- press.

The Latest In Wall Paper.

The very fastest fashion in wall dec- oration is bizarre, staring shade of paper known as hunters red. It comes i'll plain all oyer red and again varie- gated with figures and pictures The gro tesque and fantastic designs suggest the headless dragons, centaurs and pug Zling eceentrieities of the old fashioned paperings of our grandmother day
 The paper is used to decorate bache- lors' dens and the bed chambers of country houses. It is essentially Eng fish in character and design, many of the designs depicting red coated hunters in English fields. So vividly green is the grass, so impossibly blue the water, so distorted the image of the wounded stag, repeated over and over again on yards and yards of papefing, that the beholder wonders alike at the artist s powers of invention and the taste which makes such creations possible. Fashion deerees that with this wall decoration must go old time English prints of hunting scenes.
 With such wall decoration for bed rooms and bachelor apartments the old fashioned ehintz bed curtains and val ance of three generations ago have re- appeared. Every imaginable variety of big lowered pattern and prim design is shown in these eottons, and many of them are as delicate in tint and texture as the prettiest silk draperies. Now York Sun.

Illinois Factory Women.

The supreme court of Illinois has de- clded that the eight hour law, or, as it is generally known, the sweat shop law is unconstitutional The law pro hibited the employment of women for more than eight hours day or more than AS hours week in aly factory in Illinois. Probably 40, 900 women ill H. linois who work in factories are affect ed by the decision, 32, 900 of whom live in Chicago. They are employed in the main in shoe factories, cloak and eloth- ing houses, candy factories, paper box shops and various other manufacturing establishments The judges also pro. nounced unconstitutional section 10 of the bill, which provided aa annual ap- propriation of $20, 900 for factory in- speetors, whose chief duty was to sec that the eight hour clause was enforced. This will probably end the valuable work that tho women factory inspectors have been carrying OH, with Mrs. Flor ence Kelley as their chief. Springfield Letter.

Nellie By.

Nellie By is an American. Her real name is Elizabeth Cochrane. She is more of all American than most Amer jeans because her ancestors in the gloomy past came over and helped cut down the first trees in Pennsylvania.
 Nellie Bly's achievements lead one to believe that she must be at least 24 years old. Her appearance, however, is that of much younger woman.
 She is rather tall and slender, with 2 very interesting and intelligent face. Her eyes are brown, her hair almost black Her hands seem almost too small to hold pen. She writes, however, very rapidly.
 The newspaper work which this young woman has done has had the advantage of publicity. She lived as supposedly insane patient i'll the asylum on Black wells island for ten days. The result of the articles concerning her experi- enoe there was large appropriation that has meant comfort to many help loss insane creatures.
 Her description of the treatment of female prisoners in the police stations was another achievement ill tho interest of the unfortunate. The appointment of police matrons to care for the female prisoners was the result of that place of excellent work.-New York World.

The third member of the family is Miss Josephine Kipling, 9ho was 3 years old last New Years day. and from the stories one hears of her must be as preeoeious as that typ ical American child whom Papa Kipling hates. It is said that Miss Josephine re- gently declared ill bitterness of heart:

This Yenr's SunshadIes.

The new parasols have many little details different from those of last year, but arc about the same size and shape, says writer i'll the Boston Herald. The eccentric shapes are never considered very good form and are only fad which, as rule, most women do not indulge in. Those of this year have sometimes two materials For instance, the center part will Do of silk or satin, then will come an insertion of folds of ch8on, then band of the thick mate rial and q ruffle of the chiffon. It is claimed that this fashion of having the center of the thick goods shades the eyes sufficiently, and then that the shad- ows cast by having alternate stripes of satin and chiffon make them very be- coming to tho complexion.
 Black and white parasols are exceed ingly smart Not the black and white material so much as the black trimmed with white, although quite a number of black and white stripes are made up, and black and white brocades in fancy designs and trimmed with ru11leS of black lace seem to meet with general favor. The black satin, with broad de- signs of coarse white lace aRd deep ruffles of tho same lace, are very smart indeed. The advantage of this style of parasel is that it can be worn with 8 gown of any color and look well, black and white being permissible with ev- erything. The ruffles of lace and chiffon greatly to the beauty of any para
 b but they do prove troublesome for anything that is ill daily use and are of course entirely out of place with tai Tor made gown or any walking costume The fancy pompadour silks are made up into exceedingly dainty parasols These como with blue, pink, yellow or white ground with tho sprays of flow CTS embroidered on them. Sometimes they are made up with laee ruffies, but again arc perfectly plain Tho handles are of whitewood, and there is big bow on top. They arc extremely reason able in price, considering their beauty, and can be bought as low as $6 Indeed all parasols aro much cheaper this sea- son.
