AND SHE NEVER KNEW.
A Horrid Man Wanted the Girls te
Tell Her.

A Horrid Man Wanted the Girls te
Tell Her.
There had been several good speakers
before Miss Susan Bloomfield pulled
down her vest, ran a finger around the
edge of her collar. and advanced to the
edge of the platform. She was a large
woman, with moles upon her chin and
cheeks and a complexion like a piece of
breakfast bacon; but she had a convinc-
ing way of shaking the index finger
of her right hand, and she was frequent
ly applauded by her enthusiastic sis
tiers.
After she had dwelt at length upon
the injustice Of depriving women of the
privilege of suffrage and had held man
up as an inferior animal, whose speedy
determination was all that could pos
sibly save the world from going to de.
struction, she exclaimed:
And now they want to tell US what
we must wear! (Laughter.) They seek
to measure our skirts for US and to die
tate the style of our sleeves! (Groans.)
Shall we submit tamely to this oppres-
sion? (Cries of mo, no!") Shall We
permit these bipeds, who, according to
one of their own number, have de-
scended from monkeys hilarious
shouts) to foist their ideas of beauty
upon us? And this brings me to the
main point of my argument. What
makes woman beautiful? That is the
question-what makes her lovely?
What"
But at this point a meeklooking man
who had been listening quietly to tie
roasting of his brothers arose and said:
Girls, if any of you know, don't keep
it back. Tell her. Don't let her go away
from here without knowing, if you can
help it."
He then grabbed his hat and ran, and
the meeting broke up in wild confusion.

In BLACK and White.

Black and white combinations are
immensely fashionable, and all black
toilets have a distinction that makes the
fact that they r smart more than ever
acceptable. One that 1 remember as be-
ing worn n afternoon on the golf
links was of black crepe de chine, the
whole gown covered with broad bands
of rich black guipure lace, set in both
directions, leaving, in this way, but
small squares of the original crepe
foundation. The black lace was en-
HANGED by wonderfully interviewer
threads of silver, the underskirt being
of black crepe or a soft silk foundation,
so that the frock was mysteriously
cringing and noiseless. The skin
trailed a bit over the grass, and the
pouchy bodice was frightened by a
slender vest of heavy silver and jet en-
broidery on white satin, a black lisse
bow iaring out under the chin, and
guipure epaulets broadening the Shout
ders, which, with the arms, were loosely
defined by the smooth sleeves of unlined
black lace, silver embroidered. A bit of
black satin encircled the waist, and a
hat of black satin straw was heavy with
dropping black plumes.-St. Louis Re-
public.

CLEANING THE TREASURY.
Work Is Done Daily by n Small Army
of Charwomen.


There are something like ~ miles
of corridors in the great treasury build
ing at Washington, with hundreds upon
hundreds of rooms, large and small.
1t requires a small army to keep these
corridors and rooms clean and in or
der. Floors must be scrubbed, carpets
swept, baseboards and windows cleaned
and the debris of a busy day removed.
This work is done by women, who re-
ceive a compensation of $50 a month.
The duties are laborious, back-break-
ing. joint-cracking and conducive to
rheumatism. yet there is actually as
keen and spirited demand for places on
the charwomen list by people in that
class as there is for clerical positions by
people of another class.
It is an interesting sight to watch
these scores of charwomen when they
report for duty in the afternoon, just
before the close of office hours. Ac-
commodations are provided for them
upon a long line of wooden benches
gather half an hour before the re-
quired time, and find opportunity
thereby for gossip. AT least that is
supposed to be the reason why they
come before their time. Their case is
unique in this respect. They are the
only employees of the government in
Washington who are anxious to get to
their offices before the time for 60
ing to work. Their labors are finished
in two or three hours.
The greater number of these women
are past middle life, most of them are
fat and the majority have an accent.
The little stipend of $50 a month is
the principal support of a family in
many cases, and when the poor crea-
lures are discharged it means a great
deal to them. It is often said that it
is harder for an official to discharge a
charwoman than to dispense with the
services of a $1,000 clerk, for in the
one case, while he has to stand off a
congressman or a politician, in the 9TH
er he has to meet the weeping and wall
ing of a poverty-stricken woman. who
possesses a wealth of tear-bedewed
pleadings that would move a heart of
stone to pity.-N. Y. Press.

THE FIRST RED LEAE.

what Ii that which the eye perceives .
Glowing among the thick green leaves?
IS II an oriole perched to rest,
Or tanager, with his vivid vest?
Or a lonely grosbeak, left behind,
forgotten by all his gorgeous kind?
Alas, Tor summer-and woe for me
It's the first redleaf on the dogwood treei
An why, for the grass is not yet sere;
NO blight betokens the failing year:
late rose reigns on her thorny throne,
All the fairer because alone,
AND mods and smiles in the sunny noon,
AS sweet n perfect as those of June;
why hint at winter and storm to be,
y first red leaf on the dogwood tree?
One orphaned lily leans pale and tall,
Last OF its line, by the llchened wall,
The saliva losses its brilliant plume,
The bright nasturtiums are yet in bloom,
And dahlias, crimson and gold and white,
Waste their beauty. awake all night,
Yet here, with its sorrowful prophecy,
Is the first red leaf on the dogwood tree!
The knapweed swings by the meadow path
where mowers gather the aftermath;
The first pale aster has but begun
To hint that the torrid days are done,
The fringy sprays of the golden-rod
Are spreading their spendthrift wealth
abroad,
And, while they charm US, we need not see
The first red leaf on the dogwood tree!

Stuffed

Stuffed tomatoes are excellent. Sc
lect as many large, firm, ripe tomatoes as
there are persons to be served, and cut
them in halves. Heat a little butter in
q porcelain-line saucepan and lay the
tomatoes in it with the flesh side down.
Let them fry two or three minutes.
Make a stuffing of one small shallot,
chopped fine "a small white onion will
do); n Glove of garlic-no more-also
minced; the yolks of two hard-boiled
eggs, a tablespoonful of equal parts
of chopped chives, parsley and two salt
anchovies, freshened and chopped fine.
Mix all these ingredients thoroughly to-
gether, stirring in a tablespoonful of
butter; season with a little pepper and
salt if necessary. Lay the halves of
fried tomato on a buttered tin. flesh or
cooked side up, and cover each one Of
them with one-sixth of the amount of
stufing prepared. Dredge a few fine
bread crumbs and sprinkle a few drops
Of melted butter over each, and put them
in a hot oven to bake ten or fifteen min
utes. Place them OF n dry, hot platter

To do him justice, Whimple was a
game dog catcher, but at last-which is
to say after about nine seconds-even
he had to give in.
Help! Help!" he cried. This dog
is eatin' me alive! Hel-l-l-lp!"
Let go your wire, you fool" called
William Boyer from his front window,
for even he felt merciful at last.
Whimple loosened his grip on the wire
and the dog rolled in one direction and
he himself collapsed against a fence
post on the other side of the lot.
The many and interesting things
which Boyer said to Whimple when he
came out upon the lawn are not matters
of history. 1t was plain enough, even
to the dog thief, that at last he had
been caught in fragrant trespass, and
his defiance was gone. He begged Boyer
to tie him together and send him home
in some kind of cart so that he could
die peaceably.
"Your dog like to killed me-" he said.
"T never seen such a savage brute"

declared, with great pathos, hat
Whimple had murdered his best pet,
and figured up its worth, which was,
strange to say, just equal to the ram

And he compelled Whimple to pay him
the amount that day.

square, but the street railway people
