MISS DAISY DOUD.

keepers were expected to sail in from
their speck of rock at each election time
to cast their votes at Bush and Market
streets. They did so as faithfully as the
jewellers in the city, but, unlike the lat
ter, no kind board of supervisors, no
perspicacious school director, did thing
for them. Numerous efforts were made
to have the city and county defray at
least some part of the school expenses,
but until Miss Doud entered the field no
result was obtained. Now it will be diff
ferent.
Two months ago Miss Doud, who is a
handsome, intellectual young woman,
made up her mind that the Farallones
were just the place for her. There was
plenty of air, an excellent opportunity
to study aerial navigation as exemplified
in the flights of the gull, and, above all
for one who desired to study, no distinc-
ton in social way. Napoleon at st.
Helena was nowhere. Taking these con-
siderations with another one-that she
really desired to teach-Miss Doud, who
is niece Of Mrs. Nettie Wood of the
Hearst Grammar school, made an appli-
cation for the position. The school
board met and considered the matter,
and it appointed committee to ascer-
tain just where the Farallones came
in on the school map, and decided that
the rocks were in the San Francisco
school district, and, further, that there
were ten children, sufficient to warrant
the running of school the educational
year around. Having SO decided, Miss
Doud's application was favorably con-
sidered, and she-was duly appointed.
The young lady, whose pleasing per-
sonality is certain to increase the attrac-
tions of the islands to those who are
forced to stay there, was happy at her
good fortune. She is ready to go the mo-
ment her appointment is made out and
the boat comes to take her off. If the
ightkeepers only knew how lucky they
are in securing such a pleasing young
woman to teach their progeny, they
would not delay the hour of her arrival.

tire supremacy for long. The matches
head of Aphrodite still appears absolute
~ satisfying to cultured taste today, but
when you see it translated to color, as
Albert Moore often re-embodied it, then
is something lost. At the best Mr.. White
considers the Greek and Roman types
are Unconditional and do not awaken
more than aesthetic rapture, for in those
days even portraiture aimed to elevate
the individual to type.
He would have us go back to Reyn-
olds in order to find the highest type
of the modern ideal. Sir Joshua's por-
trait of Lady William Gordon caught
the pathos of the Madonna ideal with
the intelligence that has become the
woman's share. In the Botticelli vir-
gins, or the Raphael, sweet forgive
ness is absolute. In the types of Reyn-
olds and Gainsborough, to this charm
is added sense 9sss justice and distinct
substratum Of wit and vivacity. In
short, the lady" has been evolved, not
the saint or the chatelaine, the minis
tering angel or the bluestocking, but the
true woman who can be all these.

Fancy Waists.

Immediately after the holidays all
the large establishments offer for sale a
number of costumes which were import
ed in the autumn, and among them are
many very beautiful French gowns
Fancy waists Of every description are
also to be had, and, while there is no
doubt that it is more in style to have
skirt and waist of the same material, it
will be a long time before separate
waists are pronounced entirely out of
fashion. There are SO many occasions
when an odd waist is just what is need
ed that women will not consent to give
them up until the last moment. Chiffon,
that wonderful material, still proves
most alluring, and, made up in the solid
colors, is smart and becoming Different
shades of red, blue and purple, made
very simply, but with no economy as re-
CARDS the quantity used, are greatly in
favor. In pale blue a pretty style has
the surplice effect Where the folds cross
is graceful rosette, and the ruff at the
back of the collar is held up by band
of gold passementerie studded with tur-
quoises, while a narrow belt to match
is charming finish to the waist. A red
waist, fashioned like the blue, has imi-
tation rubies instead of the turquoises,
and remarkably natural are the stones.
In pale mauve is an exquisite waist,
with collar and belt of amethysts, which
stones, by the way, have fairly jumped
into fashion and are worn in brooches,
collars, belts and the inevitable chain
about the neck.
On all the chiffon waists the sleeves
are shirred and puffed-and the mate
rial is particularly adapted to shiring
while full puffs on the tops of the
sleeves add the desired breadth to the
shoulders. Satin is preferred to silk for
the lining, as the sheen it possesses
seems to add more luster to the thin fab
ric. Black chiffon waists do not show
any marked change of style and are
trimmed with horse hair net, with many
jeweled ornaments sewed on around the
collar and in corselet style. Harper g

feature Of the Italian middle age, have
again made their appearance in that i'm
mortal kingdom.
There are women's colleges in every
province and colony in Australasia, in
India, Egypt, Ceylon, Japan and even
the white haired empire of China. In
industrialism there has been even great
er progress, and there are greater pros
poets. Every trade, industry and profess
sion is now opened to the sex in the
United States, and at least 5000, 900
women earn an honest livelihood by
their own abilities. The woman lawyer,
doctor, dentist and preacher Is no longer
rare and no more excites comment or
criticism. She has won the place she
holds and is using it as stepping stone
to loftier heights. Women doctors are
recognized by law in every country of
Europe, excepting Austria, and in every
other civilized country of the earth
There are women lawyers in the United
States, Great Britain, every British col
ony, Switzerland, Scandinavia and Rus
sia.
There are successful women in news
paperdom and authorship in every land,
and last year they added no less than
2,000 books to our stock of literature
This time year ago two states had
granted women political equality. This
year there are four, and at least three
more ON the verge of similar action.
Political equality marks the five prov
inces of Australia, the great islands Of
New Zealand, Tasmania and the Bahia
mas, while limited suffrage is found in
the Bermudas, Cape of Good Hope,
Great Britain and over 80 states of the
American Union. In 20 American states,
in Great Britain and in nearly all the
British colonies women hold political
positions and occupy elective and ap-
pointive Offices Somen's societies,
unions and associations, which were
practically unknown at the time of the
great rebellion, have grown until they
have surpassed those of men. At least
five organizations have passed the 500, :
900 mark in membership and represent
q greater number of human beings than
the entire population of any one of half
the civilized countries Of the world. -

Jewelry Worn Profusely.

There are fashions in jewelry as in
everything else. Just now the fashion
is to pile Pelion upon Ossa. If you have
four pearl necklets, you are expected to
wear them all at the same time and to
distribute your diamond brooches at
random among the laces and chiffons Of
your evening corsage. No self respecting
Partisan woman dreams of wearing her
morning gown without string OF pearls
round her neck, and even English women
come down to breakfast bepearled and
bediamonded. The newest necklace is a
string of gold wrought SO finely as to be
scarcely thicker than a stout thread of
cotton. From this chain hangs large
pendant of precious or semiprecious
stones, of which the setting should not
be discernible But for my part prefer
the chain first brought into fashion by
Mrs. Patrick Campbell a few seasons
Ago, and designed, believe, by her, Of
thin gold, studded at intervals of two
or three inches with some precious
stones, such as the amethyst, topaz,
chrysophase, garnet, etc. A crystal heart
hung from long chain is also popular.
Now as to bracelets. have seen none

women's Athletic Clubs.

Already there is talk of the organiza-
ton of wOmen's athletic clubs in some
of the large cities. This should cause no
surprise. A higher physical develop
ment for women is required by the rapid
advancement of the sex in those pastimes
and business pursuits formerly monop-
olized by men. Public sentiment has
undergone marked change in the past
few years, making it possible for women
to engage in athletics for the improve
ment of her physical well being with
out exciting Mortified comment from
those who have a high regard for the
proprieties of life. 1t is no longer con-
tended by any considerable number of
people that in doing this she necessarily
sacrifices the dignity and refinement be-
longing to an ideal American woman
hood
All modern arguments seem to be in
favor of stronger and more rugged phys
ical development on the part of the
weaker sex. 1t is the kind of develop
ment that brings the strength necessary
to sustain the burdens and trials of ma
ternity, the obligations Of wifehood, the
duties of homemaking, the responsible
ties of official trust and the exactions of
the various fields of usefulness that have
been opened to women all over this
country. There has been an evolution of
the popular conception Of the ideal wom
an She may represent the highest type
of womanly grace and refinement and
still boast of well trained muscles,
steady nerves, healthful digestion and
sound organization. The woman who
has been taught to fill only the place of
the .clinging vine" is untitled for the
newer conditions of life. She is~unpre-
pared for any of the many emergencies
that may burden her with responsible
ties and duties requiring strength, self
confidence and endurance.

Three Arrangements For the Hair.

Three Arrangements For the Hair.
To speak of fashion in dressing the
hair of a schoolgirl Of 10 or thereabout
sounds bit absurd, but nevertheless
there are three distinct modes, and,
aside from these, no manner Of arrange
ment is just now in good TASTE
Simplicity, together with bending
to the type of child and thought for
her comfort, during the study time will
decide for one.
Never use the iron or crimping pin on
the hair of growing girls. On no ac-
count must the hair be left loose about
her face If nervous child, this will
make her more SO; if not nervous, it
will cause her to become so.
If the features are any way regular
and the forehead good, then by all means
have part through the middle. This
quaint touch always adds charm to a
face, and, if worn so as child, the hair
is sure to fashion a pretty outline for the
face
If the hair is short and inclined to
curl, it may be tied up in pretty bunch
at the nape of the neck. Should it be
thin, then brush it most carefully and
let it hang in one plat down the back.
Long and heavy hair needs smooth
brushing and to hang in two plaits
down the back.
Never, no matter how trying the fore
head, allow bang to be worn. Arrange
the hair loosely about the face instead,
and with tasteful training it may be
made to gracefully conceal the imper-
lection.
The hair should be carefully brushed
for 20 minutes both night and morning,
but never with stiff brush. Shampoo
with tar soap once month.
The foundation for coming crown
of glory is laid in carly girlhood, and
any sign Of poorly nourished hair should
be carefully looked into. 1t is best cared
for during sleeping hours by being loose
" braided. New York Journal.
