WOMEN TRADE DRUMNIERs,

There are no less than 1856 women
commercial travellers in England. Said
an English authority on the subject OF
commercial travelling: 81 remember
having two women call to see me, and
1 could not but admire the wny in
which one of them went about the
business. She was widow. She was
eloquent, persuasive and showed great
tact"
1t appears that women travellers do
not confne themselves to things in
which women are chiefly interested.
They avoid these particular branches
of trade, and go in for something more
substantial. One woman, for instance,
travels in corrugated iron and iron
bolts. Another travels for locomo-
tives. Only q few take up embroid.
cries and silks, pickles and jams and
similar commodities. Male com
mercials regard the innovation at
present as IA joke, especially when a
woman invades the commercial room
of % hotel. But the opinion of an ex-
pert goes to show that in this profess
sion women can succeed where men
have failed.

FURNISHING A GUEST ROOM.

A woman's idea of hospitality may
be gathered sooner from glance at
her guest room than from attending
twenty teas and half as many dinners
at her house. And not infrequently
this same guest room proclaims mis-
tress worry poor hostess.
A guest room should not suggest to
its occupant that she is expected to
leave as soon as may be. Half emp
tied bureau drawers and closets with
three or four pegs in use'are equiva-
lent to u command that the guest cut
her visit short.
The room should have nabitable
air and should not suggest the mauso-
leum.
If possible. have a lounge, or at
least, low, capacious, armchair, fur
nished with Il cozy, usable cushion or
two-not the heavily embroidered
affair which plainly says "Touch me
me not!" Then at the head of the
lounge, or beside the chair, place Il
substantial table, ardlon it scatter II
few books, ranging from. grave to gay,
and one or two late magazines or Jour
nals-not those dating six months
back.
Let the dressing table stand in a
good light, and see that ittis furnished
with all the small toilet accessories,
pins, hair pins, a whisk broom hand
mirror, q bottle of violet water, and
all the tribes required blythe fastidi-
Gus woman.
Next and perhaps most important
of all, is the wash hand stand. Let
The toilet set be roomy and complete,
and be sure to supply t. capacious foot
bath. Let there be II generous pro-
vision of towels, generous both as to
size and quantity, and do not fail to
provide Turkish baSh mat, so that
the guest may enjoy her morning tub
without haunting fear of spiashed
rugs and mildewed carpets.
A writing table or small desk is also
indispensable to the comfort of those
! who tarry beneath your vine and fig
tree. Furnish it generously with sta
tionery, with various kinds of pens,
with good big blotter, with calen.
dar, n paper cutter. and, last of all, an
ink stand filled with good fresh, black
ink-not the stiffened paste usually
found in the bottom of the spare room
ink well.

Woman in Business,

Woman's introduction into the bust.
ness world is no longer an experiment.
The feminine wage-earner is now a
permanent factor in the national econ
omy. The individual drops out of the
ranks to form center around which
home springs up, but another woman,
not man, takes her place. The type
remains. More and more places are
being made for women, to such an ex'
tent that a recent census bulletin re.
ports the increase in the number OF
women employed in gainful occupa.
tions during the period between 1870
and 1890 to have been 113 per cent,
while in trade and transportation the
increase was 1,051 per cent. This
change is significant. 1t is, in fact, a
revolution. Twenty, or indeed, ten
years ago the girls of an ordinary mid.
die class family in which the father
was a small business man, an expert
mechanic, or n farmer capable of sup.
porting his family with decency If not
absolute comfort, We're expected to stay
at home and help with the housework
until they went to preside over homes
of their own. It was considered some.
thing of slur to say that mans
daughters were obliged to go out to
work. Nowadays this sentiment is re-
versed. \ business training is as much
n matter of course for the daughters as
for the sons. And no one is surprised
when the daughters prefer putting the
training into practice instead of devot
ing their time to household duties en-.
lvened with social amusements. The
growth of the idea that woman is an
individual, not an appendage, that she
has social duties and moral rasponsi-
bilities as well as men, is really at tho
bottom of the volution.-Lippincott'

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
BROOM BRIDLE.

The thrifty housewife long ago dis
covered that to sew piece of cloth on
the upper part of a broom did much
to increase its allotted time of useful
ness, but it remained for man to
devise wire attachment that would
serve the same purpose, and might be
transferred from broom to broom.
This patented device, while simplicity
itself, effectually prevents the broom
from losing its shape. 1t consists OF
wire arms encircling the broom and
fastened around the handle, where
they are clamped in position by a
sliding ring. The broom-encirc cling
arms are also provided within slid
ing ring, which admits of adjustment
from time to time.

marriage shall the engraving on the

The invention Of Alabastine marked a new
cru in wall coatings, and from the standpoint
ot the building owner was most important
discovery. 1t has from small beginning
branched out into every country of the civil
lized world. The name "kaIsomine" has be-
come so offensive to property owners that
manufacturers of cheap kalsomine prepara-
tons are now calling them by some other
name, and attempting to sell on the Alabas-
tine company's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and personal
use the merits of the durable Alabastine are
so thoroughly known that the neople insist on
getting these goods and will take no chance of
spelling their walls Tor possible saving of at
