Dignator,I appreciate your able support
and extend the hand of welcome. Why
the directors persist in turning deaf ear
to the voice of the people and entreating
of the children is incomprehensible. 1t
cannot be they do not care because they
have no children of their own to sit on
these torture shelves, there is one who
sends his children to Center where some
of the directors have commanded there
shall be no such extravagant waste OF
money, and he is the director who made
the motion for new desks, and l say with
you all honor to that man.

Working- Girls, C1uhs.

There is Q federation comprising 22 working girls clubs of Boston and vii oinity. The work of one of these clubs, the Shawmut, was described by Miss Edith II. Howe at a recent meeting of the good citizenship class:
 For the past year the club has inter- ested itself especially in the outside lives of the working women.
 An investigation of the moral condi- tions in which they are placed has been carried on Factory girls have been most ready to report, and their reports have in general been much more favor able than those of girls employed in stores, but even here girls of innate purity of character and motive are safe, with a few exceptions Only one or two employers were found In Boston who subjected girls to extraordinary tempta- tions, and against these men working girls were warned.
 Some of the girls rather resented this sort of investigation and asked why the club workers did not do something prac- tical, such as taking measures for the bettering of wages and the obtaining of shorter hoars In consequence the sub ject of early closing was agitated, and an organization was formed among the women, similar to the beneficial assooi- alton of young men clerks, with mem bership of over 100.

Women as Shipping Clerks.

One of New York's biggest dry goods merchants demonstrates his faith in voman's executive ability. From base. ment to roof his establishment is almost entirely under feminine control.
 The delivery department was the first one intrusted to the care of the gentler sex, its success inviting others to follow. Tho young woman superintendent Is rot masculine in her appearance. She has Aatiro charge of this department, engag- ing and discharging help ct her pleas ura. She is personally responsible to the firm for the correct delivery of all goods purchased in the store.
 Directly under her supervision come IS delivery wagons, as many drivers and between 25 and 30 boys. There are also number of shipping clerks assist. ing her in various ways and between 10 and 12 packers.
 Personally she must arrange the routes and assign them to the drivers, listen to all complaints and smooth out difficult ties arising therofrom. Withal she is 8 very unassuming little person.
 Ton know, I am merely wage earnor, that's all Yes, believe my place is rather unusual, but not more SC than many of the other young women E here , were her replies to questions. "l have complete charge of my department, It do not find the work too laborious. of course employ as many of my own sex as possible, and things generally run very smoothly. Women are more reliable, I believe, in their business re- lations than men. That is why they are preferred here. :"

International wonan's Congress.

The international woman s congress, which met last September in Berlin has been 0 wonderful success. It has been a genuine revelation in the German com- munity. The tone of the press has un- dergone complete change. Instead of hippant sarcasm CT. serious disapproval the newspapers arc now animated by a friendly spirit. The women and their doings are treated with respectful atten- tion. The calm and dignified tone of the discussions has won universal approval The New York Nation says:
 Even the exchange Of views between the SocialdemokratiHnen and the more conservative majority of tho participants in the congress did not lead to intem- perance Of language or exhibitions of violent antagoniszn. circumstance with which foreign delegates have been favorably impressed. English and French delegates have expressed their surprise at the remarkable self control and matter of fact ways of the German women. The latter, in their turn, are deriving from occurrences at the con- gress encouragement for the future rec onciliation of the classes through the mediation of women. One of their spe- cial objects of agitation just HOW is the revision by the new reiohstag two years hence of certain sections of the new civiI code Of the empire, which will not take effect till the year 1900.

mrs. Avery Ts Not Wealthy.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, while at- tending the recent executive meeting of the Woman's National Council in Bos- ton, was described by some of the papers as a woman worth $3, 500, 900. A few years ago Mrs. Avery had abundant means and gave literally to the suffrage cause. A few years hence she Is likely to have abundant means again and will then no doubt contribute with her usual generosity. But we have the best au- thority for saying that, through certain business complications. Mrs. Avery is at present the reverse of rich. The news paper report about her millions. by which many women would have been fattered, has been Q cause of sorrow to her, as 1t has brought her many appli- cations to which she Is quite unable to respond.

Women and Parliament.

There seems to be still chance for those few members of our sex who coyet the right to sit in parliament. It ap- pears that, in the views of some who are qualified to form an opinion on such matters. tho supply of parliamentary candidates is decreasing, and the decline is likely to become still moro serious as those who arc eligible for such service come to realize more and more the in adequacy of the reward which tho life of an "M. F !" offers, as compared with tho trouble and expense necessary to se- cure election, But if the supply of male candidates fail there will be noth- ing for it but to fall back upon the "emaneipators" of our sex, who may thus be provided with an opportunity of rushing in where the male creature re- fuses any longer to tread. -Lady's Pic torial.

The Breakfast ,yaeHet,.

The breakfast jaokeb this season has taken the place of the breakfast gown. It is made of a variety of materials and is worn generally with skirt to match.
 The most inexpensive are made of fan nelette, and the most costly of silk.
 Some of the elaborate ones, with a skirt to match, are almost as expensive as a party gown. The silk skirt is trimmed with lace ruffles and the jacket made with lace bolero. But for everyday wear the breakfast jacket of flannelette is the most serviceable One dainty French model recently seen was of pale violet f1annelette, trimmed with baby ribbon in deep violet The jacket was made with full loose front and a bo- lero of coarse cream lace. The yoke was striped with lines of the baby ribbon, which in the center were fastened in a knot with many loops The collar was q high frill of violet silk, edged with three rows of the ribbon velvet. The sleeve was made with a short puff at the shoulder, which was finished with five rows of the ribbon wound about the arm and then tied in 0 bow. The deep cuff of the sleeve was made of two lace frills and headed by rows of baby ribbon.
 The skirt to be worn with this jacket was made e9 hanneIette of the same color. A deep nounee of violet silk fn- ished iS at the bottom The hounce was almost entirely covered by rows of the baby velvet ribbon in the dark shade of violet. Cashmere breakfast jackets trim. med with lace are also very pretty, They may be worn with a skirt to match, or one of silk. One seen recently was of bright scarlet cashmere trimmed with black lace insertions and narrow black velvet ribbons. Chicago Times-Herald.

FOUR CHURCHES SOLD.

 Pay Taxes.

IshpemIng CsIich.) Churches Neglected to
 Pay Taxes.
 Isbpeming, Mich. has furnished tho spectacle. probably unprecedented in this country, of churches being sold for delinquent taxes. Four have thus been disposed of, and numerous others un. doubtedly will be.
 The four sold are the Methodist. Presbyterian. English Baptist and Epis. copaL Those that are in danger of a similar fate include representatives of nearly every denomination there. The churches are not taxed for city. state, county or school taxes, but a special levy for the building of new sewers was made several years ago, and all the property benefited was assessed regard less of the uses to which 1t was put.
 It was generally understood ct the time that church taxes would be re- mitted, but such action was never taken The four were knocked down for u song to tax title dealer. The time for redemption has expired in the cases of the four churches referred to, and it rests with the purchasers to say whether the edifces shall be redeemed at nomi- nal figures.

women and Money Matters.

It has often been noted that women arc more honorable in money matters than men, and that 1t Is far less rare to have e small loan paid back by a woman than by 8 man This fact, again, ap- pears to Us to be fully explained by the trustee theory of woman's attitude to- ward money. Women are not honester in other things than men, but the notion of money being q trust everrides and dominates other considerations. The man who borToNs is very apt to forget all about the matter. The woman who borrows feels that double trust runs with the money, and she cannot rest till she has repaid it No doubt there are here also many exceptions, because there are many bad women, but at least it is safe to say that women are far less careless about money matters than men, and therefore less likely to commit the small acts of pecuniary dishonorablenesz which come from negligence. Take it as a whole, women are more careful about money matters than men and attach more importance to money; hence t happens that they never make great for tunes, seldom go bankrupt, and general Iy are rather more scrupulous than men in small pecuniary transaetions--Lon don Spectator.

China Closet Hints.

Irregular edges are in favor for plates, saucers and all sorts of dishes except cups. They are, so far, smooth edged.
 White and gold china is enjoying as much popularity as in our grandmoth- CTS day. the plain gilt band being now, as then. the favorite decoration. Fill gree borders are also seen, and gilt mon- ograms of varying degrees of ornateness arc set in the center of the dishes.
 Gray china is one of the season. E nov cities. Another is a peculiar faint green known as Flemish.
 All the new coffee and tea cups arc in the low bowl shapes, with outturued tops The after dinner coffee cups arc smaller than ever. In the heart shape they are very dainty.
