Triumph of the Club 1dea.

Mrs. Buekner was entertained at din. her by q party of ladies at the Somerset club, Boston, the other night, while General Buokner was dining with the Young Mems Democratic club. The Boston Transcript says: tThis is the most striking proof possible in Boston of tho triumph of the club idea for women It is not now at all an unusual thing. to bo sure, for ladies to entertain there or at many another clubhouse in Boston where they have either members rights or honorary privileges. But the dinner to Mrs. Buckner partakos of a semioflioial character, although it was not, of course, in any degree even a semipublio function It was however, in sense dinner of honor to the wife of candidate, and given at club--a perfectly conservative, simple affair in the development of modern social life. Yet how formidably radical it would have seemed 20 years agai'.

As there arc about the same number of women in this country as mon, it will be seen that tho proportion of the former ct work at gainful occupations is smaller than is popularly supposed, only one in five being engaged at any work from which she derives 6 revenue. Bither in the form of wages and salary or profit in business. This does not mean that the other four-ffths of the women are idle, for they probably work as hard as the men, but that the labor they do produces nothing in financial way. They are the housekeepers of the country, doing the sewing, cooking, nursing and other domestic service for most of the families. The prevalent be- lief that a majority of tho women are typewriting, clerking or filling other positions from which they have crowded out the men is founded on error. The great majority of them are still at home attending to their household duties, and only very small proportion are out in the world struggling with the other sex for living Nav Orleans Times.

SCHOOL CHAMPION
Only Two Sundays Missed In Nine Years,
 Eight Months and Two Weeks.

Only Two Sundays Missed In Nine Years,
 Eight Months and Two Weeks
 A f3-year-old boy in Danyille, Ky, thinks he is entitled to the worlds championship for Sunday school attend anee. He has been in his seat at the Methodist Church South on every Sun. day morning except two for 8 years, 8 months and weeks ending Sunday, Jan. 10. On one of the two exceptions he was down with the measles and on the other day he was unavoidably de- tained. More than this, he has now been in his class on 308 consecutive Sundays, and he says he is going to keep it up until he has 1, GOO straight Sundays to his credit.
 The boy's name is John c. Eastland, Jr. He joined the Sunday school in May, 1887, when he was but @ little more than years old, and he has been going ever since. What makes this reg. ularity of attendance the more remark. able Is that until few months ago the Eastlands lived six miles out iii the country and had to drive to town before 9 o'clock every Sunday morning. Much of the time John has had to come through all sorts of disagreeable wealth CT and very frequently by himself. Sometimes he has come through blind ing rain and blizzards when other chil- dren who lived within a stone's throw of the church have staid away

Dainty and Tnexnensiva.

One of the latest pasisian eenfeetions is bolero of black chiffon that can be slipped on over any bodice to lend an air of festivity to toilet. At the back the chiffon is put on full, with six rows of shirring that draw it down tight to the Things. The shirring at tho front is pushed together to make six puffs. Two full bouillons of black chif- ion are placed at the armhole and fall nearly to the elbow. Black velvet rib bon and brass buttons trim tho bolero. When worn with 2 white canvas cloth gown that had black velvet belt, tho effect was decidedly new and charming. These are the little things that mako house dresses elegant to look upon. yet cost almost nothing Philadelphia Ledger.

Nrab Tn Tavor.

Drab is one of the season g favored colors. Tho French call it winter sky, ," but this Is too poetic title for it's un- compromising dull, metallic tone. It is not like soft nuns gray, swallow gray, silver, dove, fawn or anything as deli cate and dainty. Drab is not becoming color on its own merits. We associate it with the coats and gowns of the Quakers, when far stricter in seotarian and dress matters than they arc now, and with the old Puritan drivers of the defunct stagecoaeh, with their many capped, long, drab coats. But French modiste can easily make gown of beauty out of even drab cloth. She com pines it with black and Danish or Span ish or British red so artistically and deftly that the dowdy dress of drab be- comes in tho hands of this sartorial pres tidigitator triumphant success. Set it against, for example, one of the brick red gowns of cloth. with black and white vest and brick red velvet toque en suite, and rivalry there is none be- tween the two. The one Is vulgar and provokingIy aggressive. the other suffi- cientIy smart and eminently attractive but quiet withal. Another fancy of tha Frenchwoman combines the drab ma terial, with cream cloth accessories braided in gold or striped with tho nar- rowest lines of red and gold braid laid side by side-New York Post
