NANsEN SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF.
His Expedition Has Been Successful
to Some Extent.

Vardo. Norway, Aug. 13.-Dr Nansen,
the Arctic explorer. arrived here to-day.
He says that his expedition attained one
of its objects in traversing the Polar sea
to a point northward of the New Siberian
islands, namely to latitude SC degrees IA
minutes north.
No land was sighted north of
latitude 50 degrees. After reach
ing the parallel of S614 the expedi-
ton went south to Franz JOseph's land
where it spent the winter, the members
subsisting on bears flesh and blubber.
DR.. Nansen arrived here on the steamer
Windward, which is conveying provisions
to the Jackson Harmsworth expedition.
The explorer is perfectly well.
The Fran is expected to arrived at Vardo

A New Spirit In Housekeeping.

There are hopeful signs that the
boarding ho=ae epoch is giving way to
an era Of light housekeeping, and the
economic importance Of the change can
hardly be overestimated. Not only does
it indicate that the wealth producing
population is being increased by large
numbers of its former dependents, but
it means that the intelligence Of the
country is coming to be enlisted in sci
entifio methods of housekeeping. 1t in
sures the introduction of new inventions
and best appliances in the home. The
New England matron may regulate the
complex machinery Of extensive house
hold affairs according to the most APP
proved methods but it is nevertheless
true that science i'll domestic matters
has been awaiting the era Of light
housekeeping. Ignorance and cheap
labor are the natural enemies Of in
vention, and in the field of woman 8
industry the battle is not yet fought,
although labor saving appliances are at
last slowly winning their way in the
home. Twentieth Century Cookery.

Peach Basket Clothesbag.

For soiled clothes, garments in want
of mending, unfinished sewing or gen
eral odds and ends you can make a
light, handy and slightly receptacle by
spending a little time and less money
upon an ordinary peach basket.
Get the basket first and see that it is
firm and not lopsided. Scrub it inside
and out with hot suds and set it upside
down where it will drain and dry
quickly-in the sunshine if possible.
Then buy few yards Of print, choos-
ing a pretty pattern and colors to match
your room.
From it cut three breadths hand S
length longer than twice the depth Of
your basket. Sew them together, bag
fashion, fold along the middle and run
a case for drawing string, leaving q
double heading an inch deep. Run an
other case at the bottom end, but make
the ruffle there deeper-at least two
inches. For the upper end double the
cloth down six inches deep, stitch it
down neatly, then run two castings in
the double part two inches below the
edge.
Line the basket inside with the same
cloth put in plain and coming well over
the upper rim. Tack it FAST then put
on the shirred outer covering, first
drawing the middle tape to fit and sew
ing it to the basket rim, so the heading
shall stand above it. The bottom one
needs simply to be drawn and tied, as
the slope of the basket will keep it in
place. In the double castings put narrow
ribbons, arranging them to draw on op-
posite sides like the strings of a reticule
They close the mouth of the bag formed
by the upper part, which more than
doubles the baskets capacity and saves
its contents from dust, dirt and prying
ewes

Mrs. Warnings Invention.

Mrs. Colonel Waring, wife of Colonel
Waring, New Yorks street commits
sioner, has demonstrated the fact that
women cope successfully with intricate
municipal problems. She has invented
an iron hand truck for the individual
use of the street sweepers. The inven.
ton consists of a two wheeled truck
with comparatively large light wheels.
The body of the truck is composed Of
two iron rings one above the other. Into
these rings fits bag about the size of o
coffee sack, the upper edge of which is
turned over the upper rings and fastened
by little hooks and so adjusted that the
bottom Of the bag just escapes the pave
ment. The street sweeper puts his
sweepings into the bag as he goes along
until filled, when he releases it, ties it
up and rests it ON the curb to await the
collection wagon. He affixes another
bag in the truck and continues the oper-
alton. The truck is so light than ten
empty sacks are easily carried strapped
to the handles The enthusiasm of Mrs.
Warning prompted her to make the city
a present of her invention.

club calendars now embrace civics,
household economies, education, sociol-
ogy, literature, art and science.
sin many cities the clubs have
formed declarations, which are usually
divided into departments covering the
interests of the city. The village and
town improvement associations are do
ing excellent work on the same lines,
and all testify to the growing interest
of women in civics. When the older
club members recall how jealousy in
the past club privileges were guarded,
they will perceive from the advance
made how rapidly the feeling Of reci-
procity has developed in the clubs To
women who live in cities the seeming
monotony Of life in country places is
difficult to apprehend. A city woman
needs her club, but to the country wo-
man it is essential, for life with her
runs in groove, and she is in danger Of
dropping into the personal ON all ques-
tions because she is not in touch with
the activities which are the power Of
life. The club takes the interest outside
of the narrow individual life and brings
it into unison with the community life,
and through the state and general fed
Grafton the community life comes into
unity with the national life. 4"

Ruchc TrimIninYa.

The revival of the ruche as a trim
ming should be hailed with delight by
the amateur, so easily is it made, SO
effective is it. OF its popularity, there
fore, there can be no doubt, and already
it is much in evidence. A Paris model
gown seen the other day had every skirt
seam outlined with ruchings, its sleeve
epaulets being adorned in the same
manner. These ruchings may be made
Of glace or sarcenet silk or even the
thinner kinds of ribbon. Sometimes
they match, sometimes they contrast
with the frock they trim, but Of what
ever shade or fabric they give the latest
up to date touch to any costume.

The Corset.

A we'll known New York corsetiere,
says New York paper, who sympa-
thizes with the woman who must be
economical, says that when a corset is
seen to be losing its shapeliness it can
be steamed until the bones are flexible,
and then over flatiron the bones can
be restored TO their correct shape. This
is only possible, however, where the
best materials are used, so that the
actual shaping CT the corset was done
in cutting the forms, the bones being
used merely to hold the pieces in place.
If corsets were worn in sight, as bon
nets are, what a revolution there would
be in their appearance

The Tip Tilted Hat.

The tip tilted hat is likely to destroy
many a reputation for beauty, as few
women apparently study profile effects
in the mirror. Along with the tooth and
the nail brush the use of the handglass
ought to be obligatory. Then would we
be spared the sight Of passe women, pos
sessed Of scrawny necks, dragging their
scanty locks to the top Of their heads
and surmounting the tiny knot with a
millinery structure which accentuates
the hollowness of their cheeks and the
unsymmetry Of their noses. But to re-
turn TO the hat thrust over the eyes, ex-
ceptional will be she whose good looks
can withstand the couture arrangement
necessary for the proper adjustment Of
this new millinery angle. A painstaking
study Of handglass reflection is recon-
mended to even the pretty girl if she
wishes to retain her belleship. Vogue

Girls In Bows, Clothes.

Little girls, children of the we'll to
do, mind you, not waits without clothes
to their backs, are dressing daily for
their play times i'll boys trousers with
out skirts
And these trousers are not cast off ar
ticles of their brothers-oh, no, thank
you-they are new ones, made to order,
and they reach from the waist to the fat
knees, where they end, not in ruffle,
but just with hem or button or two,
like those of any boy. Then the leg is
left bare down to the wee socks, which
extend only few inches above the an
kle ties.
For waists these small girls wear
blouses identical with their brothers.,
and their heads are topped with big
rebellious sailor hats, which refuse half
the time to keep company even with
tempting curls
l hope / am making it plain that sud-
denly, without fuss or heralding, moth
ers in the upper classes are dressing
their young daughters during play time
exactly as they do their sons. Not that
the mode is general. My, mol If it
were. you would have heard of it, and
should be writing with less insistence
of the innovation.
How many little girls there are in
this city who have put aside petticoats
during exercise hours / do not know.
Perhaps there is only a small number.
But the fashion is countenanced by
members of that class of women who
set the modes, and it would be strange
if it were not followed Immediately by
those who like to feel that they have
worthy models. New York Press

Made Up Faces.

Constantly the statement is made that
New York society women make up"
their faces for dinners and balls as care
fully as actresses do.
Mrs. John Sherwood's remark on
this point is quite interesting. Il
know of but two women moving in the
best society,"" she said in an interview
once, who use rouge. Cosmetics are
abhorred by those who observe form and
are detested in every shape. The object
Of those who aspire to WELD power
among the upper ten thousand is to ac-
centuate the difference between them
selves and the questionables just as far
as possible, and the truly high bred
woman would sooner look positively
ugly than have any doubts raised as to
the genuineness Of her skin, lip tints or
sheen of hair. New York Times.

NIending Window Screens.

Wire rusts and breaks, which facts
are we'll known to flies, who take adj
vantage of loopholes in doors and win
dows. 1t is no easy task to recover
frames, but any girl can patch if she
will follow these directions; Cut piece
of wire netting considerably larger than
the hole. Fray the ends, top and bot
tom and sides, exactly as you would
ravel a material for fringe. Place the
patch over the hole, then bend the wire
fringe and pass it through the wire of
the screen. You can exercise your in
genuity by twisting and turning the
stiff threads so as TO make the screen
neat in appearance. The device is sure
to be effective

Learn to Dress Your Hair.

Everything can be learned nowadays,
or it might be more accurate to say that
everything is taught. A hairdressing
school was one of the acquisitions to
the city's list of temples Of knowledge
last winter. Only women were admit
ted and only the care and dressing of
ladies' hair were taught The pupils
practice on dummy wooden heads that
are provided with wigs Most of the
classes were made up of lady's maids or
women who wished to learn the trade
of hairdressing to adopt as an occupa-
ton, but "a considerable number took
the two weeks course solely to learn
how to dress their own hair. 1t is a
fact, often painfully self evident, that
many women go through life without
gaining any knowledge Of what is to
themselves a becoming coitfure-high
foreheads accentuated, low ones spoiled
and hidden and other coiffuring errors
committed day after day and until they
die by women who, if they had known
a becoming way to dress their hair,
might have added much to their per-
sonal appearance. New York Letter.

The Woman Political Orator.

The Australian correspondent of the
Boston Congrogationalist sees changes
for the better as results of woman suf-
frage in that country He writes in the
issue of June rs:
In April last for the first time women
voted for members of parliament i'll
South Australia. The number of votes
was raised from little over 10000 IT,
nearly $4,000. There were no such
startling results from the women's votes
as some seemed to anticipate. The min
istry, whose policy has so strong a So
cialistic trend as to be scarcely distin-
guishable from that of the labor
party" came back to power, and the
women do not seem to have materially
affected the status quo in politics.
One result of womanhood suffrage
has been to make parliamentary cleo
tons more orderly. This seems general
ly conceded. Another has been to intro
duce new kinds of political machinery.
Afternoon teas and similar social func-
tions are now made by enterprising
Australian political woman effective
electioneering agencies. RECALLED by
1.-THE cup that cheers but not inebri-
ates," political male orators are led
forth by the sisters Of their party to
speak for the good of the cause. There
are not wanting signs that the political
female orator will be. if she has not al
ready been, developed.

Neckties.

With some of the latest shirt waists
and new collars it is almost impossible
to fasten tie properly. 1t has a fashion
of slipping up or down, and, do what
one will, the ends cannot be drawn to-
gether without breaking the stiff collar.
The simplest way to remedy this is TO
fasten the tie at the back. A few stitches
will do it, In putting it round the neck
button the left end of the collar first ;
then the right, being passed over it, will
hold it in place while you are wrestling
with the tie. Brooklyn Eagle.

Piazza Chair Cushions,

Head rests or cushions for piazza
chairs are covered with cream linens
and grasscloths. They are embroidered
in wash silks, and when soiled may be
washed and made to look fresh and new.
The cushion is made in the shape Of a
half circle, but the cover is straight and
cut seven inches longer than the cushion,
the ends being finished with half inch,
hemstitched border The cover is drawn
up at each end, leaving "a three inch
frill, and is tied with linen cords and
tassels, by which the cushion is hung to
the chair. A very dainty cover is made
Of deep cream colored linen, embroidered
across one end with a hop vine and
flowers in delicate greens. A grass linen
cover has a graceful spray Of red peoples
worked across the top.

of the otherwise beautiful wearer, but
modest, tasteful, full, appropriate
bloomer suit may be comfortable and
less Objectionable and surely ought not
to exclude from the services Of the sane
tuary one who chooses to go there upon
O bicycle.
1t might be that young lady i'll
boomers would attract attention iii
some of our churches, and perhaps her
presence would incite remark, but if
her dress and her demeanor were modest
and it were apparent that she was there
in q devotional spirit no well educated
person would object. The fact is, a
young lady's dress and manner reveal
her true self to others, whether it be at
church or elsewhere.
If she appears in a crowded thorough
fare upon bicycle, dressed in any loud
fashion, behaving in boisterous, hoi-
denish manner, she may think she is
attracting attention, and she is, but 1T
is an attention unfavorable to her, for
sensible, we'll bred people are offended
by her and pronounce her uncultured
and crude. On the other hand if she
were to attend church in a modest BIZ
cycle suit, when it was apparent that
she was not trying to produce a sensa-
ton, but only enjoying the privileges
Of a place of worship, then sensible,
well bred people would commend and
not condemn. Rev. j. H. Parks, D.

A Proud Record.

The showing of the English women's
colleges this year is a record of which
all women should be proud. Girton and
Newman colleges have each produced
a wrangler. Miss Gertrude Longbottom
is placed between the eleventh and thir-
teenth wranglers; only three women,
Miss Fawcett, Miss Johnson and Miss
Scott, have hitherto gained higher hon
ors in the mathematical tripos. Miss
Longbottom was educated at the North
London Collegiate School For Girls, and
went up to Girton in 1898. Miss Lazen-
by, who is declared equal to the twenty
sixth wrangler belongs to Newman
college. Twelve other ladies have been
successful in this tripos; ten have OBJ
tanned second and two a third class.

Baby Afghans.

Baby afghans for summer use, says a
New York writer, are made Of white,
pink or blue pique edged with white
insertion and a frill of white embroi-
derry. The band put across the front of
the carriage is of the pique, overlaid
with an open insertion. A new art linen
that is as yet novelty, and which is
used for pincushions, picture frames,
sachets and writing desk sets, is called
pompeiian red.
One virtue the uncomfortable high
collar may be said to possess-it forces
its wearer to hold her head high, with
slightly backward tip, and may infiu-
ence that graceful carriage of the head
which is so pleasing, which should not
be matter of props and stays.
