Kate Field Rides Astraddle.

Kate Field says, in letter from
Honolulu to the New Pork Sun that
she has gone and done it-ridden a
horse man fashion. Not in the CEN
ter of civilization, however, did she
take her first lessons in man fashion
horsemanship, but in a remote Sec
ton of the Hawaiian Islands, where
the women ride astride with the ease
and dash of Valkyries.
Miss Field says the sight of a
picture of herself on horseback deep
ly shocked her vanity, but that she
daily sacrificed appearance to a de-
sire for knowledge. She wore a
bifurcated skirt and tight-fitting
cap, but does not like the makeup.
Three times had she gone to the
earth, and then, in despair, she
strapped herself to the animal and
tried it again, this time successfully.
The genial writer says of the
Hawaiian woman: Native women,
who walk the earth as though they
owned it-that is, when they are
barefoot or in easy shoes-are equal
ly masters of a horse. No bifurcated
skirt for them! With or without
shoes, with or without stirrups, they
ride from place to place, and make
one green with envy at their deX-
terlty. On gala days they add two
long streamers of gay cOlOred cloth
to their ordinary attire, and as they
dash by resemble streaks of rain
bow on a gallop.n

SPECIAL BARGAINS.

arch. This arch was draped with a
curtain of asparagus fern, through
the lacy greenness of which one
caught glimpses of the artistic
tables beyond. American Beauty
roses were used on the two tables at
which the guests were seated. On
each table were large candelabra,
with shades and candles of the
American Beauty shade. On each
one of the chairs intended for the
ladies was garland, or flower boa,
made of asparagus fern and carna-
tions the tint of the roses, and every
lady, as she took her place at the
table, adjusted this lovely flower
boa about her neck, making alto
gether beautiful picture. An eX-
cellent orchestra played during the
dinner, and afterwards furnished
music for the cotillion which sue
ceeded the dinner. These dinner
dances are among the pleasantest
social functions for society young
folks, and with such artistic for
al accompaniments-the gentlemen
found at their plates boutonnieres of
violets-they are especially pretty
and charming.

Try saving the tea that is left over
and use it for cleaning windows,
mirrows, or other glass. 1t will give
you fine polish, and is good wheth-
er used hot or cold. After washing
with cloth dipped in the tea, wipe
the glass dry, then polish with a
flannel cloth.
Kerosene oil may be entirely re-
moved from light carpets, rugs or
wooden goods by covering the oil
spot thickly with buckwheat -four
and letting it remain II hours, then
brushing it off, and applying fresh
-four until oil has disappeared.
White suede slippers may be clean
ed with equal parts of powdered
alum and fuller's earth. Apply to
the slippers with dry brush. Gaso-
line is also good to clean them, as
well as the kid slippers.
Handsome lunch cloths and buffet
covers that wash well are fine linen,
bOrdered with renaissance lace.
A holder with loop so long that
it may be looped around the apron
belt may save burned fingers by be-
ing always on hand.
There is a great choice of silver
candlesticks; but after all, none sur

Remember to thoroughly wash

soup and to be chary with the sea-

Colonial silverware, in true octa-

of beadwork and empire garlands, is
the correct thing.

Col. Nat X. Wilkes.

Sunday afternoon, when, on hear
ing the mournful tolling of a church
bell, asked who was dead, could
but feel thrill of sorrow, when told
it was Col. Nat Wilkes. / met him
nearly seven years ago, at the first
reunion of the HERALD's CORES
pOndents, and have, now, among my
keepsakes, a beautiful little letter
that he wrote me on reading an arti-
Gle that [ wrote to the HERALD
about my mother, a few weeks after
her death, in 1893. Col. Wilkes was
"a noble, faithful man. Indeed, we
might sum up his life by saying:
HE was faithful" The end came
with him; through the rifted clouds
angels of mercy swept down, and
when "life's latest breath" was
fully spent, bore him out of the
earthly home into that of immor-
tality. Then the light of the home
on West Sixth street was gone. But
through darkness, dim and drear, Il
voice gently whispered: 1T is L."
May the Heavenly Comforter lay
his healing balm upon this bleed
ing heart to-day, so that she can
whisper, my Lord knoweth best"

The Kiss of Peace.

1t was pretty and affecting scene,
that enacted in a Brooklyn lawyers
Office recently, when married
couple who had lived together for
years met with angry and embit-
tered feelings to arrange matters for
a legal separation. They had passed
through goodly portion of their
married career in peace and har-
mony. But the demon of discord,
fostered by the worrying cares of
life, had invaded their home and
turned loved into bitterness and an
tagonism.
The woman sat in the lawyers dis
NAL outer Office alone, with her
young baby in her lap, wheh the
husband entered. He was passing
his wife sullenly and silently when
the little one, Selling his coat tail,
kicking in delight and calling him
in her childish prattle, put up her
little pOuting lips for a kiss. The
man could not resist the appeal. He
took the child to his breast, cover
ing her with kisses, while the moth
er burst into tears. The child was
not relinquished by the now weeping
father, but he gathered the mother
with it in his strong arms and she
rested there happily.
There was no need for a lawyer.

She is never martyr.
She never divulges her methods.
She never apologies for the food.
She never describes her aches and
pains.
She lets everyone have affairs of
their own.
She never dwells on unpleasant
"reminiscences.
She never communicates any news
before dinner.
She is always polite and cordial to
the children's friends.
Disorder of a temporary nature
does not visibly disturb her.
She never tells her husband any
thing of the least unpleasant char
acter.
She never corrects the children in
the presence of any person, even the
family.
When the family diatribe threat
ems she knows how and when to
deftly change the subject.
She gets rid of guest who bores
by simply folding up newspaper,
and the other never suspects.

Bonnets for Little Girls.

Hats and bonnets for little ones
this spring will give their faces an
appearance of being framed in
ruffles. The dainty white headgear
has a prOfusion of ruffs and frills,
crowns of bonnets are made of pique,
generally white, though pink and
blue are much in favor. They are
made in larger putfs, around which,
to form the shape, is lawn, shirred
on reeds or heavy cords, drawn to
fit the little head. Ruffles, wider
across the forehead than at the sides
and back, are made very full, and
two are much more effective than
one. Often three are used, but the
number depends upon the material.
Wide strings that tie under the chin
in large bow complete bonnet
which is easily made, and if of
white, may be worn on all occa-
sions. An entire bonnet of grass
cloth is worn by the dainty maiden
when she dOns her costume to match
and wears her tan-colored shoes, ac-
cording to the New York HERALD
for the foregoing.

A Mans Description.

A western paper says young car
penter, recently married, describes
his wife's gown after this manner:
at has plain sides, with base around
the bottom, crown molding above,
dormer window sleeves running in
to the gable, with a scroll work OF
velvet around the neck"
And why not? 1t is a far more
sensible description than that of the
fashion writer, who raves over the
symphonies in hats and gowns,
and speaks of the excellent de-
meanOr" of blouse, or the chip
pendale feeling" of sideboard. At
least the carpenter did not mix his
descriptions.

Several years ago, in Current
Literature, were published these
beautiful rhythmic verses, written
by Aubrey Harwell:
Here's a newly coined word,
caught it from a bird
That sings in the woodland where the sum-
mer sun shines:
He sings by the stream.
Where the fisher.boys dream,
And he sings in the meadow, where the
muscadine twines-
II runs like this,
With a MARBLE full o bliss,
SweethoArting,
SHeethearting.
Sweethearting
He sings to his mate,
When the day grows late
Way down by the pasture in the moscow
cred yew;
He sings in the morn,
Mid the tasselated corn,
Where the sparkle comes a cleaning from
the daisy-cradled dew;
For 1t runs like this,
With a MARBLE full o bliss,
Sweetheartng,
Sweethearting.
Sweetheartng.
1t floats into the breeze
From the looping willow trees,
And he sings in the garden when the tint is
on the rose:
It's his only stock in store,
And he sings it evermOre-
He sings in the meadow, where the crystal
rllet flows,
For it runs like this,
With a MARBLE full a. bliss,
Sweothearting,
Sweethearting,
Sweethearting.

Mrs. Louise Ordway Tead holds a
position unique among women. Her
study is to superintend the pictures
produced by the Providence Litho-
graph company for its Sunday
school productions, and she brings
to work both natural artistic bent
and training as designer. Each
picture passes under her eye before
it is autographed, and is criticised
until perfection is reached. The
books, tracts, and the like, are in
use all over the world.

Train the Girls.

When girl is ten years old, she
should be given the household du-
ties to perform according to her
size and strength, for which a sum
of money should be paid weekly.
She needs little pocket money, and
the knowledge how to spend it Judi
ciously, which can so Well be given
by a mother to her little girl. She
should be required to furnish part of
her wardrobe with this money. For
instance, if she gets 10 or 20 cents a
week, she should purchase all her
stockings, or all her gloves, as her
mother may decide; and doing this
under the mothers supervision she
will soon learn to trade with iudg-
ment and economy. OF course the
mother will see that the sum is suffi-
cient to do this, and yet leave a trifle
for the child to spend as she pleases.
This will supply healthy stimulus
it will give her a proper ambition
and pride in her labor, and the
ability to use money properly. AS
she grows older these household du-
ties should be increased, with the
propOrtionate increase of money
paid for the performance of them.

wages of a servant among her three

hired girl or daughter who feels that
she has to do it with nothing to en-
courage or stimulate her in the
work.

Perhaps in woman as a mother are
to be found the loftiest and divinest
virtues which distinguish humanity
and attest it's kinship to God. Said
Leopold: But one thing on earth
is better than the wife-that is the
mother" What are Raphel's Ma
donnas but the shadow of mothers
love fixed in permanent outline for
ever. Said Holmes: youth fades,
love droops, the leaves of friendship
fall ; Il mothers secret hope outlives
them ALL" We all feel that touch of
nature which makes the whole world
kin, when we catch the music of the
beautiful sentiment embodied in
these words of N. P. Willis: Zone
lamp, thy mothers love, amid the
stars shall lift its pure flame change
less, and before the throne of God
burn through eternity" Verify it
is true 1.-The hand that rocks the

eXalting and inspiring of all human
affections. The picture is not over
drawn when Milton gives to Adam
such tender and deathless love for
Eve that he elects t. share her fate
in exile from Eden rather than re-
main among its perennial and beau
tiful bowers without the light of her
smile and the joy of her companion
ship. Poetry has embalmed in story
and song many examples of the
changelessness of love when based,
not on mere passion or beauty, but
upon qualities of true womanhood.
If woman, therefore, would aspire to
such dominion over man, let her
cultivate virtue and charm him with
the witchery of virtuous and ex-
allied character.

to be found splendid examples of
womanly purity and worth. AL

Woman has done much for her
own emancipation. Lucretia and
Portia, HoratiO and Cornelia, have
illustrated their chastity. Maria
Theresa and Joan of Arc, Madam
Roland and Maria Antoinette, have
illustrated their courage. Florence
Nightingale and Grace Darling,
Helen Chalmers and Margaret
Breckenridge, have illustrated their
devotion. Madam De Stall and
George Eliot, Margaret Fuller
Ossolo and Mrs. Browning, have
illustrated their intellectual ca
pacity and attainments. So, by the
force of her own purity and courage
and achievements, she has con-
quered her position in the respect

1t was this in the wife of Washing

The sentiment that mere beauty in
