EQUAL SUFFRAGE NOTES.

Rev. Caroline j. Bartlett writes as fol-
| lows:
The person with 40! here, 10! there"
| specific for all the wrongs OF humanity is Il
short-sighted and tiresome person to
meet. Even the right of woman to the ex-
| ercise of suffrage could he pushed with
millenDial arguments that would weaken
its legitimate claims.
No sensible advocate of woman suffrage
supposes that the ballot in her hands would
right all the wrongs Of human society.
What this ballot will do will depend on
what woman is, and every woman suffra-
gist knows. and gladly knows, that the
best argument for woman's enfranchise-
ment is Tie ever more apparent dignity,
intelligence and moral weight OF woman
herself.
1t is perfectly true that abstract justice
would give woman, good or bad, the
same right of self government that il gives
10 a man, good or bad; but this argument

Ill womaDhood there is vast treasure of
moral force which is grievously needed in
our attempts at popular government, but
which moral force is denied expression in
the laws which govern men and women
alike. Because of what woman is and is
becoming, the world cannot u ford to deny
itself the great reinforcement she waits

FLOWER BOXES.

" HERE was a time when a bunch of

violet-colored boxes, tied up in vio-
let ribbons for violets, and pink boxes for
delicately tinted roses, were in vogue.

and it is, one might almost say, given away
with the roses. Almost, not quite, for the

BRIDAL WHITE.

"HE months of May and June are
known throughout the world as
those in which more marriages
take place than in amy others. 1t
is Interesting. therefore, to note
that the choice of white for wedding dresses
is comparatively a modern fashion. The
Roman brides wore yellow, and in most
Eastern countries pink is the bridal color.
During the Middle Ages and the Renals-
sance brides wore crimson, and most OF
our Plantagenet and Tudor queens We're
married in this vivid hue, which Is still
popular in parts OF Brittany. where the
bride is usually dressed in crimson bro
cade. -.
1t was Mary Stuart who first chaagei the
color OF bridal garments. AT her marriage
with Francis l Of France in 1868, which
took place not before the altar. but before
the great doors OF Notre Dame, she was
gowned in white brocade. with a train OF
pale blue Persian velvet six yards in length.
This innovation caused quite u stir in the
fashionable worli OF that time. 1t was not.
however. until quite the eni of the seven
teenth century that pure white-the cGlors
hitherto worn by royal French widows be
came popular for bridal garments in this
country.

Ribbon as a Trimming

Next TO lace, HbboD is seen in euanti-
ties upon many of the newest gowns
1t is such gruceful mode of decora-
tion and is so very adaptable that even
the GDinitiated may use it with success,
provided they are not skimpy with it, A
ribbon trimming, with skimp little bows,
is ruiDous to the loveliest gown; the
making of bow is no little art, and if
one has not a leaning that way it is better
to use some other form Of trimming, or
have them made by the milliDer. Rosettes
are much simpler and easier to manage,
and in many cases are quite as smart as the
bow would be.

Old-fashioned silk brocade is used for
