Tilted over her eyes this young woman

Primroses, by the way, will be much seen
on the first spring headgear, and never did
artificial blossoms seem more exquisteiy

Delicate petunia tnts, ranging from a
reddish tone to palest violet. are much in

POPLIN BODICES.
Odd bodlces in plaid French popiin are
being shown by the smart dressmakers and
some of them are very beautiful The coors
introduced in these poplEs. which are in
soft gros grain sort of weave, are royal pur-
Pile, moss green and black; these tones in
wide mellow stripes are crossed by narrow
lines OF white and gold, which gives Il high
sharp finish to the softly treated backgr )und.
These plain French poplins come IN forty
four-inch widths and sell at "a the yard
Two yards, however, is all that is needed for
bodice. and, since there Is SO much color
already, the only trimming should he stock
belt and sleeve twists of white or black satin
ribbon. II the ribbon is white front Of
white tucked mousseline de sole with entil
heux of yellow valenciennes will be foun1 an
elegant and becoming finish.
There are also plaid Irish poplins, in single
widths. that are being used instead of silk
for fancy bodices These sell at half th'
price of the others, and though the color!
are the same, the weave Of the Irish af
fairs is not the wiry mohair order. This
promotes a hard glistening surface that will
be found very trying to the best half Of the
world.
A few blooming cheeks. however, may
take to the Irish popllns with safety.

characteristics of the Uostop Woman
and the Ncw York Woman.
II is conceded, says Leslie's Weekly that
there is no American city which possesses
more marked characteristics than Boston
Its admirers claim for 1t more conscience
and more brains than are to be found in
all the other cities OF the land put to-
gether. AS these admirers are usually resi-
dents or natives of Boston their views may
be suspected of bias, but everybody admits
that Boston is a great and peculiar city.
In such place one would expect to find
an uncommon type of womanhood-and he
will not be disappointed. The Boston woman
is famous throughout two continents. So is
the New York woman, but the glory Of these
two stars is essentially unlike Many people
have asserted that the chief differences be-
tween them are that the Boston woman
wears spectacles and carries a bag while
the New York woman does not. These are,
however, only the trivial outward signs of
great soul dvergences.
The eyes of the New York woman are
more generally sound than those of her Bos-
ton sister; but while the latter wears spec
tacles for her nears'ghtedness or astigma-
tsm. the former wears eyeglasses. Spectacles
are better for the sight but eyeglasses are
more becoming. Health and the everlasting
right are paramount considerations to the
Boston woman; but her sister of Manhattan
never allows anything for an instant to OBJ
scure her profound conviction that 1t is her
duty to look her best, though the heavens
fall

Remarkable story of Michigan
Woman ana Montana Mine.
In the death of Mrs. Clara Meadow at
Detroit, Mich, a few days ago, Montana
lost one of it's most interesting characters
and the mining world woman who made
success where men had repeatedly failed
Mrs Meadow was an energetic, pushing
woman, a business woman, and an advocate
of woman's rights. but without being a crank
The only prominence she ever assumed, re-
lates the Globe-Democrat was as one of the
lady managers of the Worlds fair. Though
not native of the mining country, she
seems to have been natural miner. She
made the famous Spotted Horse mine of
Montana pay her upwards OF 81 900 OOD
though men, experienced mining men at that
| repeatedly failed, such men as Ex-Governor
Spmuel r. Hauser and r. NJ. Halter, known
for their shrewdness in mining opera lions
and in accumulating wealth. 1t was in 1882
that she went TO Billings, Mont She was
then the wife Of DR.. c. Il. TomlinsJn n
Detroit physican He began the practice
of his profession, while she sought a clerk
ship in the office Of Colonel ]. B. Clough,
| engineer In charge OF the construction OF the
Yellowstone division Of the Northern Pacific
railway Accommodating a little money, she
opened up real estate Office In Billings
conducting some OF the largest transactions.
DR.. Tomlnson was considerable of an in
valid, and returning to Detroit, died there.
The widow saw her future In Montana, and
continued her business there, early In 1884
marrying Perry w. Meadow. This was the
event that ruled all of her after life and
which brought her into the mining business.
Mr.. Meadow was interested in the old town
OF Coulson, a couple OF miles from Billings,
and also In the Spotted Horse mine, near
Maiden considerably further north. The
real estate business was followed during the
remainder Of that year, when Mrs, Meadow
and her husband went north TO the mine
The work done was altogether at the sug-
gestion and under the direction Of the wife
She saw what was in II from the start, and
her husband readily gave her full control
He had but minor interest, having grub
staked the miners who had partially opened
II up. The outlook was blue to these men
They were disheartened and could see little
TO the future. They readily Listened to Mrs
Meadows proposition to buy them out and
as soca as the transfer could be made she
found herself in complete possession of the
property
She then began the most energetic develop
ment work, disclosing immense bodies Of
low-grade ore, and finding enormously rich
pockets, the ore from which went from $5. 600
TO $4,000 to the ton. The mine was 100
miles from the railroad. and the roado were
practically impossible in the winter season,
so that shipping was impossible Nothing
dauntsi she took out the pockets and with
the returns pad Of considerable Indebted
ness and erected stamp mill and put in
other machinery In addition she netted

Sealing wax Is again considered good form.
The overskirt is slowly making its way
into the ranks OF fashion.
Beautifully less grow the huge balloon
sleeves OF past season.
Elephants hide is used for the latest card
cases and pocketbooks.
Slight paniers are shown on some of the
models Of spring gowns.
yellow laces will be as much In vogue this
summer as they were last
Pale primrose-yellow gloves are very fash
ionably worn with evening toilets
Fashionable brides carry sprig OF orange
blossoms In place of the traditional bouquet
or basket.
The Louis Quinze heel is slowly but surely
creeping in. What will become Of the pedes-
trians when II arrives?
Light, dressy cloth wraps for out-of-door
summer wear are TO be fashioned In the
graceful Marie Antoinette shape.
Bishop sleeves are to be very popular In
thin wash gowns. They are worn with
French waists, and wide, turnover collars
edged with embroidery.
The latest fad in jewelry is the banquet
ring. II is so large as to cover the entire
as 100 diamonds. Opals and sapphires are
sometimes mixed with the other stones.
Tafeta ribbons are prettier than ever for
the coming season. Chine effects still prevail
The designs shown are larger than those of
last season, and among the flowers used are
poppies, carnations, marig0lds and roses
Belts are shown in lizard, snake and ali-
gator skins as well as In the Vienna feathers,
which have such high luster and come
In all the modish shades. Almost invariably
these belts have pocket at one side.
Round waists are by no means banishei.
They are still used on very youthful. dressy
gowns. A pretty finish for these waists ON

DRAWING ROOM GOLF.
RuIcs for Following This Pretty

Rules for Following This Pretty
Sport Indoors.
Golf Is being introduced into the drawing
room. When snow and bad weather make
outdoor sport impossible. the devotee of the
game sets up her parlor golf table and presto.
the game goes on with all or nearly all, the
fun and excitement one gets from a two
milo walk around an eighteen-hole links.
The device for indoor golf consists of :
round metal disc. with hole in the middle
which is placed on little table made 70!
the express purpose or else can be set on th'
carpet Small squares of ivory form the tee
for each disc. A number of the discs may b,
placed in one room, or. where the house l.
not larger in the hall and in adjoining
rooms. forming a lengthy and interesting
course. Indoor golf may thus be made, quite
an exciting amusement. but for the sake C
the bric-brac. lofting and driving stroke'
must be tabooed-and the game resolves it
self into putting golf it is excellent practice
in putting and embraces the most importan
elements of the sport.
The game is arranged for one two per.
sons to play on sides alternately, one roun
OF the links to be reckoned a match unles
otherwise agreed before hand The WHINE
is the gamer of most holes The p!aye
chosen to start does so from the teein'
ground, marked start" to the first hoe
and continues play until he misses gettin'
in. The next player follows the miss from
his starting point. to be continued until tn
center hole is reached The side taking tn
fewest strikes to get in, wins the hole playe
for each hole to be contested and reckoned il
like manner.
A player having holed ball places th
same upon the nden.ion made In from
Of each hole before playing for the next
a player must not strike against anothe!
ball; the penalty Of so-dcing counts on'
the ball from there he must play the mex
time. In a double match, player taking
a wrong turn loses the hole for his side
Scoring by way of change, may be reckoned
upon the whole lot of holes, the least num-
ber winning the game.
There is another game OF indoor golf
requiring greater skill: sides are chosen
and the play alternates as before.
Each hole is to be secured by one stroke
of the club from the points of indention In
front CT the same; beginning at the teeinf
gNund marked start" A player failing tc
get in must bring the ball back to where
he started, and begin again when his turr
comes. to be continued from hole to hole unit
the finish. A player missing the hole played
for is followed by the next, but should he
get In he continues until he misses. The
winner is the one who gets home first, the
win being counted by holes.
One beauty of this game Is that 1t Is
inexpensive, costing not much
over Sc, complete with clubs and balls. One
style of paror golf comes in solid mahogany
with a reversible top, which may be used
for afternoon tea.

at the end Of that time surrendered the
property under the bond. Here is where the
most interesting portion Of the history of
the mine comes in. Mrs. Meadow had re-
turned to Detroit, where she had erected
palatial residence. but when the mine was
again thrown on her hands she returned to
Montana and resumed work on IT, Its for
tunes turned frcm that time. She seemed to
know just where to go for the rich pockets,
and inside Of sixty days she exhibited S4S,
900 gold brick at the Hotel Helena This. was
rapidly followed by others, and though as
pcokety as ever. the mine became a regular
and big producer. She gave the Spotted
Horse further fame by supplying the large
portion OF the Sl50OO0 in gold, used in the
base Of the Ada Rehan statue, which APP
peared in the Montana exhibition at the
Worlds fair. She continued to work the
mine steadily, and took out a great deal OF
gold. just how much is not known.

should make fortune where a woman had

Gold Mining company. Its history was a
repetition of that Of Messrs. Hauser and
Hotter. Under the company the property
was managed with energy and intelligence,
but to no purpose. About 100000 was paid
IN the bond. The company took out consid-
crable gold, but it was all eaten up in ex-
