1t seems pity that so charming a
garment as the tea gown should not
pc worn to a greater extent, but the
dishabille effect which is essential to
Its perfection perforce relegates it to
assemblages where only women are
present, and its field of usefulness is,
therefore, very limited For the busi-
ness woman, however, when her days
work is done, nothing more delightful
can be imagined, and her wardrobe US
ually includes one of these gowns.
Now and then she even wears it when
entertaining informally male friend,
although he must, of course, be quite
an intimate friend of the family to per-
nit her to do so.
One of these gowns is SO charming

perative for her to don the garment
1t is made of pale pink basket CLOTH
with a double vatican plat falling

flounce of the same lawn, edged with
lace, falls over the shoulders and is

JOINED THE SALVATION ARMY

t was announced that Prince Oscar.
i nephew of the present king, was
lbout to marry Miss Ebba Monk,
soung lady of patrician birth, but far
Yellow the prince in station. The king
protested and refused to permit the
marriage, whereupon Prince Oscar de-
dared that he would yield his title
md resign all rights of succession, but
hat marry Miss Monk he certainly
would. The marriage was celebrated
n due time and Prince Oscar has never
been seen in the royal circles since.
The king and queen have maintained
friendly but distant relations with their
democratic nephew, who is known SIM
ply as Prince Oscar and who is i'm
nensely popular with the people be-
ause of his philanthropy.

A Necress Attorney.

Lutte A. Little, 23-year-old negress,
with bright, round face and intelligent
eye, entered the criminal court at Mem
phis, Tenn, one day last week, with all
the aplomb of an old practitioner and
presented her duly authenticated
claims to the privilege of practicing
law in the courts of Tennessee. She
was admitted without question. She
is the first representative of her sex OF
any color TO be admitted TO the bar of
Tennessee. She is the only colored
woman in the south licensed to practice
law. She is the only living colored
woman in the United States probably
in the world, member of the bar.

Taste for Apples,

Meehan's Monthly: The super
abundance Of the apple crop last year
has had one good result for the flu
ture of the orchardist. 1t rendered
apples so cheap that the consumption
was greater than ever before. A taste
of this kind once stimulated generally
continues; consequently the demand
it has been hitherto. This year apples
have been in Philadelphia markets the
whole year through. Last years sup
ply of late varieties, such as the Bald
win, had scarcely disappeared before
the Russian variety, Tetoffsky. came in
from Virginia. These, of course, will
be followed by better kinds.

Underwear AS 1t La Worn.

1t is said that in a woman's under
clothing and house gowns is her true
refinement shown, aud even more at
tention is now given to those garments
than to the outside show of her gowns.
The fashionable woman of today wears
as few undergarments as possible,
wishing to cucumber and conceal the
lines of her figure no more than is
necessary. A light wool or silk under
shirt, a pair of fine cambria knickers,
a chemise that is long enough to an
swer, when trimmed with tucks and
embroidery, for a short skirt, are all
that is worn beneath the corset. Then
comes the corset. rather short, If the
wearer be stout, and an empire for a
slim person The corset cover has been
altogether discarded. In lieu of it, the
chemise is often made with an over
hanging point front and back, which
cover the corset. Over the corset and
chemise is worn silk or alpaca petit
coat and the undergarments are COM
p1ete.
The daintiest and freshest morning
gowns, especially when intended for a
| trosseau, are of white null. trimmed
with delicate ribbons of satin and lace.

saw large herd of elephants feeding
near the gate. Being alarmed, native
like, he fired his gun and shouted for
all he was worth; the herd. equally
alarmed, fled incontinently-i the
kheddah, whose gate stood open!
Whereupon the engineer recovered Els
wits and made his coolies lower the
gate, capturing the lot. That various
delays gave the elephants time to break
down the ungarded stockade, whereby
the majority escaped, reducing the
number actually secured to 10, does not
affect the capture as perhaps the most
remarkable in the annals of elephant
catching.

Cooperative working Girls.

Everywhere the working woman is
considering the question Of getting
better living at less cost and she is try
ing all sorts of experiments. The most
successful of these seems to be CO.
operative housekeeping, experience
having proved that if clearinghouse
keeper can clear comfortable living
out of eight or ten boarders then 1t IS
clear that each Of these boarders be-
sides supporting herself is contribute
ing an eighth of the boardnghouse
keepers own living, an eighth which
she may as well have for herself
In New York and Boston great
many woman have taken up co-opera-
tive housekeeping. Among the shop
girls of both cities there are many
groups of girls, ranging from five TO
ten in number, who lease or own their
home and live together upon coop
erative basis. In Boston eight girls
have home of this class in the SUI
burbs. They use parlor, drawing
room and dining room in common,
While each has her own bedroom on
the second or third floor. They keep a
servant and buy everything for cash.
One day each week one of the girls
either takes her MONDAY recess, or else
an early hour in the morning, to pur-
chase the household supplies. The cost
of living, including food, fuel, gas, Ice
and service, is divided into eight parts.
The accommodations of the house are
graded and assessed by the girls joint
ly. A large room on the second floor
costs SO cents a week more than the
one on the third floor, 70 cents more
than small room on the second, and
so cents more than one on the third.
They have the morning papers, the
weeklies, the monthly magazines, dress
neatly, and are very happy, yet the
wages earned by the eight are not large.
The poorest paid girl gets 81 per week,
and the best paid only SIS.

lesson from it. We must have fewer
things to keep clean, we must simplify
our manner of life. We must learn the
easiest way of doing things; we must
avail ourselves of all real conveniences
possible. If more of the teachers of
cooking would spend time in finding
out how to obtain the best results with
the least labor, rather than in concoct-
ing new recipes, a real benefit would
be conferred upon the housekeeper.-

Japenese Simplicity.

A traveller in Japan has remarked
the perfect serenity and sweetness Of
expression of the Japanese women and
attributes 1t largely to their freedom
from care. The unchanging fashion Of
dress, the simplicity of their diet, the
absence of draperies and small orna-
ments in the houses, the practice OF
removing the shoes before entering the
house, SO that the dust Of the street is
not brought in, make it possible to
maintain an exquisite cleanliness and
still have the work of housekeeping
reduced to a minimum. We are hard
ly ready to adopt the japanese man

Civic Ownership of a Paper.

Dresden, the capital of Saxony, owns
a singular piece of property-a morn
ing newspaper, the Dresdener Anzeiger
This daily, upon the death of its last
proprietor, was bequeathed to the city
upon the condition that all profits arts
ing therefrom should be spent upon the
public parks, as has been steadily done.
The paper continues to hold the re-
spect of the citizens. for the trust has
been carried out in its broadcast spirit,
and the power has never been ON
ployed to foster any school of opinions
social political or religious.
