WOMAN'S WORLD.

 Suffrage as Boon to Women.
 Sixty Years Ago and Now.
 Mrs. Hugh Reginald Haweis Is one of the best known women i'll the profes- sional and literary circles of London. Her home is in Cheyne walk and in the very house where Dante Gabriel Rosset- ii dreamed away the IS years Of life al lotted to him after he had buried the love poems inspired by all adored wife ill her grave at Highgate.
 Mrs. Haweis had bidden me to come at o'clock. It was her last day i'll Lon don. she said, before going to Scotland for August and September.
 Mrs. Haweis grasps my hand warmly, and I gaze into the face of woman who expounds liberal ideas on the sub. ject of divorce and occupies a good deal of the attention of reform workers. That Mrs. Haweis is fluent talker is at once apparent. She is very direct in movement and speech, and. although she is member of the Pioneer club, her garb is neither masculine nor uneonven-

Women stenographers.

There are two kinds of stenographers as assistants and those who are their own mistresses and take work at fixed rates from all who have 1t to give. Some of these have built up very good independent businesses, and through pluck, industry and brains have acquir ed recognition ill the business world which insures them a comfortable in- come and as much independence as any business man enjoys.
 The typewriting offices of New York are unique institutions. know of one firm of stenographers which controls large offices in two of the most inn portant business buildings of the city and is known in all the newspaper offices and most of the law offices in the lower part of the town These women employ a number of assistants, and their busi- ness is conducted with just as much sys- tenn and attention to details as if it were controlled by men. The work is done in the offices chiefly, although stenographers and typewriters can be obtained from there to do work any where. The expense of conducting that business amounts to some thousands of dollars, and the risks are the same that any business man would incur.
 Considering that these women start ed in New York entirely unknown and worked their way into favor by honor able business methods and strict atten- tion to their work, it can be readily seen that they must have had some anxious moments before they reached their pres ent position. The character of the work which these womeE have had to do must surely have had an excellent influence upon their minds. In their offices die tations have been given upon almost every subject imaginable. Literary men, newspaper writers, dramatists and law yers have all done their work there. Many of the stories that have been printed i'll the magazines were written there, and one of the most successful plays now on the boards was construct a iqpnaof their offices. -New York

SOLEMN SERVICES
At The Temple on yom kippur
 Day Of Atonemenf.

Yom Kippur was nshered in last eve, and the Synagogue was filled to overfiowing. many lsraelites being present.
 Dr. Becker, Rabbi of the congrega- tion, conducted the services.
 The services, both last evening and today, were of the most solemn and impressive nature. One part of the Divine exercises-the "memoral service, ]" which is held annually on the eve of Atonement. in behalf of those who have departed-is,in indeed, sublime, and cannot be equaled in solemnity. The touching words of the Rabbi, and the soft. solemn sounds of sacred music forced the tears from many a devoted wor- shipper.
 Rabbi Becker preached both last night and this morning. Both Of the sermons were masterly and elo- quent, and were listened to with profound attention.

 find that my hostess has seen much of America. During the World s fair she had been the guest in Chicago of Mrs. A. A. Sprague of Prairie avenue. Mrs. Haweis found less fault with America and American institutions than any English woman I had ever met. The American woman, she said, was ''fas- cinating subject. ,
 "Girl or wife, :" said she, "her aver age place Intellectually, and therefore morally, is higher than ours. The aver age American woman reads and thinks more and expresses herself better than the average English woman. Her social place is immeasurably superior. She has long been regarded as free and re- sponsible moral agent, and therefore her wits have ripened.
 Mrs. Haweis has her private study on one of the upper floors. There she has written most of her books on house decoration, domestic economy and re- form subjects, as we'll as the clever pa pers she reads from time to time before the Authors and Writers clubs, to which she belongs.

Dry Shampoo,

This sort of weather is the time for a very moist shampoo, and that once a week. But for the woman who does not perspire freely about the head and who is fond of being cosseted, let her take down her luxuriant tresses, which ars so hard to dry after washing, and shake them loosely over her shoulders. The head should now be we'll manipulated with the fingers, taking care that the finger nails do not scratch the light searfskin, for this promotes dandruff.

pear Indifferent but tears trickling
down once in a while, which she quick

proved that the defendant on the other
side of the room was not quite for

had taken all the steps he considered
possible to bring about their recon

kissed him and as her husband, making
good use of the opportunity, went up
