The women Of Rome, Ga. have been proving themselves worthy the name of Roman by acting as conductors on an electric railway for charity. The girls put on their most attractive summer garments, sewed bands of ribbon on them, with Conductor in large letters on the front and they just took the town by storm. The city was full of visiting Masons and when they discovered the scheme they filled the cars and the women condustors swung round on the footboards and gathered in the wealth in hurry. They worked faithfully until Il o'clock at night, when the cars were taken off.-Exchange.
 The day of the brooch and chatelane for watches is over. The watch chain again asserts itself. Watches no longer swing from enameled flowers and jeweled bars. They are hidden away in a pocket and a narrow ribbon or black silk cord is their support. The old-fashioned heavy gold chain is not yet in vogue, but soon will be. Summer girls are wearing narrow satin ribbon. which matches in color the gown with which it is worn. A few fine gold chains are seen.
 . Guest cards of Holland delft are among the latest novelties for the table. The cards are in odd shapes, showing the conventional delft scenes. The name is written on a white space at the bottom of the card and may be easily rubbed off when the luncheon or dinner is over. This makes them economical as well as pretty, as they may be used a number oi of times.-Exchange.
 Miss Jane Addams. the head of Hull house, was appointed garbage inspector for one ward in Chicago a few months ago. She has given entire satisfaction by her effective work. Garbage pails are now found where they were never seen before. Every morning at o'clock she starts with her assistant, and her rounds are made by Il o'clock. This is new field of labor for women, but in this as in everything else she performs her du- ties with neatness and satisfaction, and her ward is shining example.
 Miss Edison of Chicago is a bootblack on a large scale. She does not carry a bootblack's kit about with her. but has an establishment where soiled boots and shoes come trooping in and are made pre- sentable by her corps of assistants. She has troop of boys under her, to whom she pays good salaries.-New York World.
 Now, that every one has bought link cuff buttons for the summer, they are going out of fashion. The button holes of shirt waists now are drawn together with very narrow black ribbon and tied in a tiny bow. The idea is economical, if nothing else.-New York World.
 Miss Lucille Eaton Hill is young woman who has carved a niche for her self in quite an unusual place. She is "coach" to the Wellesley boating crew. She strikes strokes scientifically, and it is confidently believed by enthusiastic Wcllesleyians that the Cornell crew would have done well to study the art of rowing under her. She was at Pough. keepsie while the crews were in training there. She also went to New London to study her speciality. She comes of row ing family, here cousin being Captain Johnson of last years Yale crew. She has charge of all the gymnastc work at Wellesley.-New York World.
 The white canvas pocketbook, belt and chatelaine bag are high in favor. Many of the most elaborate and stylish are mounted in dark blue enamel or emerald green.
 The luncheon of many courses should not be encouraged during the summer Four courses are quite sufficient even for a formal luncheon. The hostess should study well each course and be careful to have every appointment of her table cool and refreshing in effect. Too many dishes are to be avoided, also too much decora- ton. White is the only color permissible for the linen, and the jardiniere most in favor is the one filled with ferns. Daisies may also be used as summer decora- tion.-Exchange.
