Woman and Ambition.

Ambition is | most desirable quality when it does net carry one SC far into the sea that the waves are stronger than can be buffeted successfully. Wommn's mLitieil, as d rule, forces her compara- lively much farther than mans. Be she single and working for her living, her ambition generally leads her to the hope of accommodating property, or dressing ill fine gowns, or owning handsome jewel ". Married, she is ambitious for social position, for worldly honors to be show cred on her husband and children, through which she shines i'll reflected glory, and so in many instances she struggles and strives, worries and con- triyes until, beaten or triumphant, she discovers that she has exhausted phys ical strength and mental force for chimera that fails to satisfy even when within her grasp Many lives are sacri- feed to ambition. Dark hair grows pre- maturely gray i'll worrying over what keeps forever just a step ahead of the pursuer. Contentment k the jewel that means absence of wrinkles, long, undis- turbed nights of rest, placid days ;md q rare enjoyment of the things NC have, whether they be much CT little.
 Speaking from the fullness of per sonal experience, the writer pleads with women To lsy down their arms and calmly accept rather than battle against fate and fcltune This does not mean to lapse inte laziness. Far from 1t. The sluggish existence is of all types the most depressing. Yet there is q happy mean between the mad chasing after phantoms and the comatose nothingness of sheer getting through of days.
 h this era of advancement for women it may seem strange for one who is ill the world of what is termed new wom- anhood to glerify as the choicest and brightest. the noblest and most satisfy ing, existence that one which is rounded out i'll home circle The love of ehil- dren, the sweet, pure atmosphere of life within the walls where dear ones clus- ter, the content with a sphere that, while not marked with scintillations of brilliancy, is repletc with hearts ease, k for woman the most ennobling and the most joyous. Perhaps the writer is blue and her busy, teeming life takes on the color of clouded skies That may be the secret of today's confidential out burst, but at all times this truth lies close to her heart, and 1t is what she has just uttered Philadelphia Times.

A topic that k pcIcnnlally interesting cannot be considered hackneyod; there fore discourse concerning fancy jackets needs no apologies It is on the books of fashion that We are to hear consider able about them for some time to come Motley is the only wear, says Shakes pearc The greatly varied fabrics intro duced and the diversity shown i'll their application render the word motley as applied to the bolero, the Russian, French, guard and similar fancy jackets entirely appropriate, or ut least not in- apt Just now, though looking quite chic and smart, these little garments for street wear, as has before been observed, appear quite insufficient as a substitute for heavy winter coat or cape. Being chamois lined, they are, however, some what more protective than they look
 The velvet blouses that fashion still affects cannot exactly be called street wraps, but when becoming they are really better though q less novel choice than the bolero jacket. Dark hued velvet blouses are still worn with handsome cloth skirts with both house and street costumes Their simple, se were style remains unchanged, elabora tion being exercised i'll the case of blouses of brocade, satin or similar light textiles. Modified mutton leg sleeves, costly buttons and | very narrow fur roll on the faring collar and cuffs form the sole decoration, and frequently the showy buttons are omitted On theater blouses of russian red, green, brown or black velvet more ornate style Is ob- servable Tudor or Queen Bess ruffs are employed with additions of creamy lace plaitings or rnches of mousseline de soie, some of these having tiny clusters of perfumed violets ill the heart of each full plait.-New York Post.

Just where the line between the head dress and the bonnet is drawnstakes keen eye to discern, but undoubtedly the latter does cover q little more of the head Spangled wings with an aigret and small caplke Dutch bonnets stud ded with rhinestones and with one nod ding plume rising from q soft coellade of white lace are included ill bonhets, but the ornaments of tulle which have feather are only q trifie smaller Pale blue, pale pink, black and white, all alc used while i'll the different shades of velvet there are curiouslv tied bows which quite cover the bonnet frame. are very becoming and, best of all. do not interfere with the range of vision of the person in the seat behind, which ;ln aigret or feather sometimes does When the bonnets are worn broad, they must fit closely to the head to be in style this winter, and the hair generally extends beyond them. When the sharp. hard lines of velvet or jet are unbecoming, a fuehe of tulle or laee is permissible and will often work wonders in the effect
 The little Normandy bonnets are among the new designs. They were shown early in the winter, but did not meet With much favor. Lately they have been revived, with some needed qualifications.
 With a high waist any of these little bonnets is considered suitable for the opera in the orchestra stalls, but this year it Is a fad, and most sensible one, to arrange the hair well and not wear any bonnet, and certainly it adds great ly to the brilliant effect of the house having the women with uncovered heads and ill demitoilet when not in full ball dress Harper Bazar.

 Many mothers appear to accept with resignation the repeated and violent colds from which their children suffer as providential and unavoidable. It should be impressed upon their minds that these colds are due as much to the overloaded homes as to the outdoor ex. posture
 Give every bedroom a thorough airing every day, more especially if several children arc obliged to sleep in the same room. This is to be avoided if possible {; but, if not, be sure to give attention to the ventilation of these rooms.

 was to be held uiilet the auspices of the Ladies Mckinley club
 Really, he says, vT went to the courthouse consumed with curiosity to know how ladies would go about con- ducting a political mass meeting, thing unheard of in the east. l found large audience, about equally divided as to sex, and divided as to sheep and goats by the main aisle, tho men on one side. the ladies on the other like an old time Quaker meeting, and d lady i'll the chair. She greeted me with all the ur- banity imaginable. and tt the proper time rose and called tho meeting to order and asked for nominations for chairman of the evening. But one name was pre- sented, that of prominent lady in the community, who was elected by aeclama- tion. After some graceful preliminary remarks Mrs. President called upon the ehairmen of the ward committees for reports. There were three wards ill the town, and the ladies submitted reports showing that many new members had very gladly signed the roll of the club and given of their wealth to help along the cause, and the total membership was shown to be nearly 30Q
 The business was dispatched as calm ly and expeditiously as though those women had been doing just that thing for 100 years. Then Mrs. President, ill few and exceedingly feliciteus re- marks, introduced me to the audience, which was as responsive to every shade of thought presented as though the lad, leaders had breakfasted, dined and sup. ped on politics since time began. It was grand audience, discriminating and demonstrative as a speaker could possi- bly wish.

oyerl,eat.d Living Rooms.

Do you keep your sitting room her medically sealed during the winter? Do you shiver and pile more coals on the Furnace and bundle yourself up in zephyr shawl whenever colder wave is prophesied? Do your registers give forth constant blasts of hot air or your steam fairly blister the garments of those who pass by? II these things are so then it is unnecessary to ask if you have constant colds, indigestion, that famous tired feeling, an annual attack of tht grip and housefnl of ailing children. The reason why so many American women overheat their houses and pave the way for their physicians to make fortunes is that they are accustomed to pass a part of their time in the kitchen, where culinary necessities put t whole some temperature quite out of the ques- tion. When the have finished their l tasks ill this department, the tired and Eoverheated housewives turn to the other rooms to iin, them 'cold. ' They are cold only by comparison, but 1t would be difficult to make one believe it. The. consequence is the register is opened or ! the fire stirred up until the sitting room is as warm as the kitchen, and the habit of ovelheating, coming down from the days ef huge wood piles and rosring chimney places, projects itself into the age of double windows. steam heating Apparatus aud Tedhot coal stoves.

First of all, to make a success of such Il career, a woman must be thor SOughly and naturally fond of mathe- 8maties, not merely algebra, etc, but applied mathematics and the like. Civil Engineering is really the application of pure mathematics to construction Then, too, woman must be willing to work with all the little intricate and complex details that arc part of mathe- nautical service. She must be careful. accurate and patient. The whole system is made up of trides, to be sure, but if every trifiing detail is not exact and perfect serious accidents may occur. '- Boston Globe

 Denim Makes Way For Ticking.
 Marion s. Parker enjoys the unique distinction of being the only practical woman civil engineer in this country. She IS slight young girl, apparently about 20 years of age, and has a woman ly, gracious manner that makes her very charming. Mies Parker seems quite unconscious of the fact that her peculiar position as the one woman i'll her pro- fesslon makes her interesting.
 Really, there isn t anything to tell, y she replied to an inquiry. I made up my mind to be civil engineer, studied foi. 1t and am now working hard for promotion. It was the most natural tlHAg in the world, for I just followed my inclinations. I wouldnt do any thing else. 7
 Atfirst, 7 she continued, "I thought to study architecture, for plans and de- signs have always had a great attrac- tion for me. Then, as I became more and more interested in mathematics, realized that something involving that branch of science would be more to my liking. Civil engineering was just the thing, so at l5 began earnest prepara- tion

Denim Gone Out.

Denim, ill all colors-that cotton ma. terial which has been in such favor for draperies and cushions-has lost its eachet And what do you suppose has taken its place?
 No less or greater fabric than tick ing ordinary ticking as to weave, but choice and solid hucd as. to colorings. Old pink, green, blue, new yellow ai orange and terra eotta are the tones The material as women will recall, has q finish as of sateen, and it is especially adapted for it's purpose The price is only 35 cents.
 In a house where artistic effects are more desired than expensive ones this material could be put to much service. One or another of the colorings would tighten the bedroom, the dining room, or dalken the drawing room, as might be desired.
 Charming portiefes are made from lengths of it without the least orna- mentation. But the beauty is heightened by appliques of white or lighter or darker shade of the same color.
 These appliques are of flowers or fig ures, and fanciful stitchings blend the pieces set on with the background
 Sofa pillows yet arc the most desirable objects ill nice needlework They are large, square, plump. Usually they are made with rutfies of the fabric of the pillow. Yellow, perhaps, is the favorite color. One big ticking pillow had a huge tigers head embroidered on 1t ill dashes of black where the spots ought to be, and red where the open mouth was, and white where the teeth should show. It was immensely effective, but more suggestive of active life than slumber. However, too much must not be asked of d contemporary sofa pillow.

ELECT OLD OFFICERS.


The stockholders OF the Hawaiian
Commercial anu Sugar Company, of
which Rudolph Spreckels is president,
met recently at San Francisco and re-
elected their old directors and selected
j. IL. Sandford secretary. In his re-
port the President commented upon
the new tariff bill as proposed by the
Senate committee, and drew atten-
ton to the fact that under it, so far
from helping American manufacture
ers of beet sugar machinery, a clause
has been introduced expressly to their
injury. He referred to that clause.
which is to permit the importation of
beet sugar machinery free of all duty
until July. 1899. The report also com
mented upon the efforts which had
been made by the directors to fight
the attempted abrogation of the Ha-
waian reciprocity treaty. The total
crop amounted to nearly 1900 tons,
which about 5000 have already been
sold at $500 a ton, leaving 5000 tons
still to be marketed. Should this bal
ance be disposed of at the same prices
there will remain in the company's
treasury between 100000 and $4,000
over and above all liabilities. The
floating debt of the company is now
$21l 900, and the bonded debt, which
year ago was 100000, has been re-
duced to $4,000. Crop prospects for
next year are excellent.
The report of the President was re-
ceived and adopted, and coupled with
a vote of thanks to the directors for
their work in favor of the Hawaiian
treaty was an urgent recommendation
to continue the fight.
