Newest Needle Notes.

Venetian embroidery done on heavy
linen is very effective. The designs are
outlined with fiat soutache braid, but
tOnholed over, and the centers are filled
in with various lace stitches.
Roman embroidery on heavy satin
duck is also used The designs are out
lined in buttonhole stitch over cord; the
centers are filled in with long stitch,
interlaced effectively in some portions
of the pattern.
For netting" very few and simple
implements are required. They consist
of netting needles and meshes of vari-
Gus sizes. They are made of steel for
fine work and of ivory, bone or box
wood for larger coarser work.
Split outline stitch is used for outlin-
ing very fine designs. 1t is the same as
ordinary outline stitch, except that the
needle is brought up through instead of
at one side of the thread of the preced-
ing stitch, thus making the outline finer
and more even.
Many new tea cloths and center cloths
are finished with hemstitched borders.
and are decorated with the fish net
stitch. The outlining may be done with
silk or with cord covered with, or
rather caught down by, buttonhole
stitch. Fish net work done in colors
is very attractive.
Outline stitch is the fundamental
stitch of Kensington needlework, which
stin continues popular. 1t is used on
much of the embroidery of the day. IL
is used for working designs in outline,
either flowers, figures or pictures, In
the latter being sometimes called sketch
embroidery.

Domestic Service In Minnesota.

Throughout the farming and small
town sections of Minnesota the question
of domestic service is peculiar one.
There are few girls who make a bust
ness of homework. Very few indeed
need to work out. The girl that seeks a
position comes from farm, and her
people are able to provide for her with
out her working out. She goes into the
village to work simply to get some ideas
of good housekeeping, SO that she can
manage home of her own in better
shape, or earn better wages in the cities
later. She is independent, for she knows
that if she once learns to be good
housekeeper she can take care of herself,
even if she doesn't get married, and in
her case getting married generally
means that she must become a drudge,
raising family of several children and
rolling up her sleeves for life of hard
work. Minneapolis Journal

Waist Measurements,

What is a well-proportioned waist?
Lady Haberton says: THE true proper
ton is difference Of ten inches be-
tween the circumference of the bust
and that of the waist. Thus a woman
whose bust measures thirty-six inches
should have a waist measuring twenty
six inches. Bust forty inches, waist
thirty inches, and so on. Very few cor
sets are made in this proportion, and
IL they were, still fewer people would
buy them, as fashion DEGREES that the
waist should measure from twelve to
fifteen inches less than the bust" In
the course of time women may come to
realize that true artistic effect Is only
attained by proper respect for proper
ton and symmetry. Plenty acknowl-
edge this truism In most things but
dress, where they cannot avoid flying to
extremes

The admission of women into the the
illogical seminary and the pulpit has be-
come so common fact as to no longer
excite notice. Such Of them as Rev.
Phebe G. Hanaford, Anna Howard
Shaw, Ada G. Bowles and Ida @. Hull
tin have made a national reputation for
eloquence, scholarship and evangelical
ability. Nearly all of them have been
more than successful in the sacred call
ing. Not one has ever spotted the white
robe of her calling. Rev. Ada Bowles
has studied the subject carefully and
gives the following interesting statistics
as to the number Of women ministers
Among the Friends there are $50; the
Universalists, %; the Free Baptists, 81
(estimated); the Disciples, 3; Congre-
gationalists, 90; Unitarians, "a; Protes-
tant Methodists, n Jewish, /, making
a total Of 513.
This does not include so of the
smaller scots and denominations. Mel
Their does it include regular missionaries,
home and foreign, nor the evangelists
and organizers Of organizations like the
Woman's Christian Temperance union.
These have been estimated at 800, $50
and 400. The grand total exceeds 800,
which is very flattering number for a
profession which amounted to almost
nothing in the memory of many who
read these lines. DR.. Bowles calls atten-
ton to the fact that the opposition to
women in the pulpit is steadily decreas-
ing, and that the facilities for her theo-
logical education are ON the increase. In
1860 no seminary was open to woman
Today at least 10 institutions of learn
ing offer her theological instruction.

The Word "Obey."

Mrs. Emma Jackson of Chicago has
been investigating a much discussed
subject with results acceptable to the
mass of women. She says: Il was told
that you could not get married unless
you promised to obey your husband.
The thing was said SO often that finally
came to believe it. In the past year
the old story has came up again and
again. Igot tired of it finally and looked
into the matter. To my surprise, I find
that there il no authority for it what
ever. In the early Christian church the
pastor merely put the question, Do you,
Jane, take this man for your husband?
and, DO you, John, take this woman
for your wife?' That's all there was to
it, The great Roman Catholic church,
the Greek, Coptic and Armenian have
followed the same practice. The church
of England in the time of Henry VIII
and one or more of the German churches
introduced the word obey, and that s
where it comes from. I hardly fancy
that that monarch is good man to pat
tern after. There are number of sects,
German, Scandinavian and, believe.
English, which make both husband and
wife promise to obey the other. %

Glass Dresses and Curtains.

Articles of dress are now being ex-
tensively made of glass. A Venetian
manufacturer is turning out bonnets by
the thousand, the glass cloth of which
they are composed having the same
simmer and brilliancy of color as silk,
and, what is great advantage, being
impervious to water. In Russia there
has for long time existed q tissue
manufactured from the fiber of a pecrl-
lar flamentous stone from the Siberian
mines, which by some secret process is
shredded and spun into fabric which,
although soft to the touch and pliable
in the extreme, is of so durable nature
that it never wears ont. This is probably
what has given an enterprising firm the
idea of producing spun glass dress
lengths.
The Muscovite stuff is thrown into
the fire when dirty, like asbestus, by
which it is made absolutely clean again,
bat the spun glass silk is simply brushed
with a hard brush and soap and water
and is none the worse for being either
stained or soiled. The material is to be
had in white, green, lilac, pink and yell
low and bids fair to become very fash
ionable for evening dresses. An Austrian

Prosecuting a Woman.

Mrs. Eli B. Getz of st. Louis is in
danger of losing her means of livelihood
because she has followed it too success
fully. Her husband was a solicitor for
the insurance firm of f. D. Hirshberg
81 Bro. He is said to have been one
Of the most popular insurance men in
the city. His contract with his employ
ers contained clause that in case of his
death his wife was to be allowed to take
his place if she proved competent. About
year ago Mr.. Getz died. The widow
took mp his work and thereby supported
her two young children. But she was
remarkably successful, and the men in
the same business complained that they
could not compete with her. They en-
treated Hirshberg & Bro to dismiss
her in vain. Then they laid their COM
plant before the board of fire under
writers. The board took their part.
Hirshberg q Bro. asked that Mrs.
Getz be either admitted to the board as
a member or registered as a regular So
licitor. The board instead adopted a
resolution that its membership consisted
only of men and voted to expel the firm

Lydia E. Smith, the heroine OF this
story, resides at Fort Nudge, on the
Waycross Short Line to Jacksonville.
She lives by herself ON her own farm,
and with the help of hired man Guilt
Yates, harvests and markets her crops.
Miss Smith is about 6 feet inches

Baby Bly's Name.

Baby BLY, was such a sweet little
thing that no name seemed to be good
enough for her. Papa proposed to name
her Rose, because her cheeks were so
pink, and mamma suggested Violet, be-
cause her eyes were so blue, but they
both agreed that she ought to have a
better name than either of these.

Mamma can cross off from the list one
name that she does not like, and then
papa can cross off another, and SO they
will take turns till all the names are
crossed off but one, and that one must
be baby's name"
So she wrote long list of names, be-
ginning with Alice and ending with
Zoe.
Baby BLY, watched the writing with
great interest When the list was fin
ished, she reached for the pen, but her
little hands seem never to know where
they are going, SO it is no wonder that
they upset the inkstand.
Everybody ran to catch it, but it was
too late. The ink had run in black
stream all over the list and blotted it
from top to bottom.
"But see here, said papa, "baby has
chosen her own name. She has BACKED
out all the others ON the list and has

The collet, simple as it looks, must
have a certain air to be a success, writes
Isabel A. Mallon in Ladies Home Jour
nal. 1t does not want to stand up high
on the shoulders, but it should go out in
very broad fashion SO that the waist
below it looks very small by COMPARE
son. Then the frills must be very full,
and whatever is used must be at once
harmonious and chic. If there are rib
bons, they must be very long. Rosettes
are more like cabbage roses than ever
before, and chiffon frills are in fullness
like unto the drops of water in the
ocean. Give to your evening bonnet and
oollet that intangible air which, for
want of something better, we call style,
for then and then only will it be sue
cess. And then and then only will you
look we'll in it and will it be an abso-
lutte success ON you. And it is only when
ones gowns and ones belongings are
successes that the general woman feels
comfortable and really enjoys herself.
