She took care of her household, and II
she had talent for it she nursed half the
neighborhood, or superintended the sewing

Mrs Uptodate mustn't do her own work,
because people would think Mr.. Uptodate
was mean; she mustn't go out nursing,
because her neighbors can pay their own
nurses and poor people are not suitable
for her to associate with; she mustn't help
her husband in his office, because women
don't understand business, the only thing
that is left for her to do is TO dress herself
and her children and keep up her social
duties. Even this she must do cautiously
and without the aim to outShine anybody
else, because she will ruin her husband
with her extravaganza. The Consequences
that her children are apt to suffer from
too much attention of the wrong sort,
and she herself suffers from q sense OF
being somehow not of much use in the
world, or she finds avenues for her surplus
strength and becomes the new sort OF

the rule, but it does account for a good

one OF the unusual occupations in which
bright girls are engaged nowadays is that
of the drummer. =" Undoubtedly the aoy-
city OF the thing sometimes makes tile
woman a success, or, in almost as many
cases, the novelty of the thing may work
against her. But in the long run IL is not
novelty which counts. 1t is energy, tact,
business sense and good nature. just n it

The drummer, as species, has large
and effloiescent reputation for nerve.
This is gained i'll very simple way. The
man who is met every now and then by

engagements and sell his goods in spite
OF the obduracy of human nature and TIE
weather and the fates, is obi gsd 10 lie ini-
perturable, and he is obliged 70 lie aielt.
He gets the best room in the hotel, because
he understands how TO get it, al nd he holds

MISS ELIZABETH HARRISON.

The chief item of interest which is going
the rounds about ex-President Harrison
is the fact that his wife left him to take
care of the baby one afternoon when she
went shopping. Opinions have differed
as to his success in the nursemaid ca
pacity. One paper stated that there were
sounds of woe heard IN the Harrison apart
ments that afternoons; that the steady
tramp Of MI. HarIison's S boots nearly wore
out the carpet, and that when his wife
came home ne Immediately emerged from
the room, very red in che face, aud took a
long walk. Another account takes the view
that Mr.. Benjamin Harrison was q success
ds a nurse, and that he greeted his wife
with beaning face-and also Tea ming
baby-when she came back with.her cab full
OF bundles But all agree that 1T is I'M
possible to get him to talk On Indiana roli-
tics, the Cuban question, the gold standard
or anything else except the baby. On his
arrival at the Chicago hotel, he was at Jnce
buttonholed by a reporter of that town,
who wanted an interview. Mr.. Harri-
son gave him one-on the subject of the
baby's new tooth The interview is not
very fully reported, possibly because the
newspaper man was @ diffident young
bachelor, but it is said that in the n.ilst Of
it all, Mr.. Harrison turned to his wife with
the exclamation: my dear, isn't that
Elizabeth crying?" Whereat they both
dived into the baby's domicile, and no re-
porter would have the nerve to follow them.

not what we shall be. Who would have

One woman, an overworked author. who
was cured at this settlement last summer
of complication of nervous diseases, fas
found fresh air as necessary to her life as
food or water, and on the eoldest winter
days writes by an open window. She
muffles herself in furs to do it. some
times the ink freezes in the bottle, but
where as in her former days she was only
able to write steadily four hours IA day,
she can now, out-of-aoors or by her open
window, use her pen from six to seven
hours, and no fatigue following. But the
fresh air society is not satisfied with merely
recommend ding its principles Co sick women
tooverworked In diyi duals or to those whose
means are so straitened that to know Of a
cure just outside their front doors is q
boon indeed.

that are sheds with sliding glass walls,
and dwelling houses having open-air kitch-

arranged that one whole side can be tel
escoped together and make of each apart
ment a sort of portico.
The proprietor OF the red hat rose to
take her departure, jubilant in the con-
seiousness of having planted the good seeds
of her doctrine in fertile ground, promising
as she swept out, followed by volley of
questions, to send her hearers II batch of

This girl is doing her work in very
much the same way that a man does, eX-
cept that she can deal with women better.
But there are others who win their way
more especially through their feminine
qualities.
One Of these is Miss Kate Todd, who
sells all sorts OF pretty things made OF
shells. She has in her stock OF goods
shell clocks, vases, shades for electric
Ii shts, and all sorts of pretty natural
specimens of the sea-shelf Kind. Her method
of work is original. She takes 4 room
at the best hotel in town, blue room If
she can siad one, and unpacks her treas
ures. She makes the room q perfect rna-
rine bower. Then she sends out invitations
to possible customers 10 come and see her,

town she has sold every sample in her
room and taken orders for more.
