Walking in Paris one day, 1 was deeply
impressed with an emblematic statue IN
the open square Chateau d'Eau placed
there in 1888 in honor of the republic. On
one side is a magnificent bronze lion, with
his fore paw on the electoral urn, which
answers TO u ballot box, as if to guard
it from all unholy uses. Having over
turned all ~pretentions to royalty and no
bility and all artificial distinctions be-
tween class and class and declared the
rights of the people to have a voice in their
laws and rulers, they exalted the idea of
republican government and universal suf-
frage with this magnificent monument, the
royal lion guarding the sacred treasures
within the electoral urn, more valuable
than crown or scepter, the votes of a great
people.
AS I turned way I thought of the
American republic and our ballot box
with no guardian or sacred reverence for
its contents among the people. Ignorance,
poverty and vice crowd it's precincts, thou
sands from every incoming steamer march
from the Storage to the polls, while edu-
Gated women representing the virtue and
intelligenceof the nation are driven away.
l would like to see a to 'tedu
Gated suffrage" in front of our national
capitol, guarded by the goddess Minerva,
with her right hand on the ballot box sup
ported by Webster's spelling book, u
declaration of rights and the national
constitution. 1t would be well for US to
ponder the Frenchman's idea, but, in
stead of the royal lion representing force,
let us substitute wisdom and virtue in the
form of woman.-Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Managing a Husband.

Managing a husbandl It has a most
unsavory sound to me. One may speak of
managing ones children, ones horses,
ones business matters, but for a woman to
speak of her husband in the above manner
is to show at once that either n or both
Of them are not fit to be called husband and
l5ife. How many women there are who
really pride themselves on the way they
ssget around their husbands whenever
they wish to carry their point in anything,
whether 1T is a matter of money or con-
Germs the home affairs or outside matters
The woman who undertakes the bust
ness OF manage seldom stops short of try
ing at least, to use a common expression,
to run the whole concern She pets,
cajoles and humors until her husband
yields to her demands. Then, | suppose,
she retires to the nearest mirror, where she
can wink at her own reflection and mem
tally compliment herself on her cleverncss,
while he believes that in his choice of a
wife he is of all men the most fortunate in
getting one who loves him for himself
alone, one whose love springs from the
very goodness of her nature, a most sim
cero and disinterested affection. So much
for being clover, SO much for being easily
hoodwinked.
The man who requires managing or
will submit to it never reached the stand
ard of manhood by just a brains length,
and the woman who can resort to a~rtiiice
and cunning to carry out her points is in
reality only fit for a man of that type, and
it is a pity that men of high intellectual
powers and pure, true hearts are some
times, through u tende reverence for all
women, made the victims in their choice of
wives of some unprincipled women, whose
only object in life seems to be to show the
world their power over the luckless indi-
viduals they honor () by the name of husr
band.
When God made man in "his own i'm
age'' and afterward made a woman for a
companion for man, he intended them to
be for the most part equal. A q a is iG
many ways superior to a woman, a wom-
an is in many ways the superior OF a man,
both in their own way, and SO being
each should be entitled to the love and
perfect respect of the other. They were,
as | said before, intended for equals,
though filing different positions, and this
difference in their abilities for certain
kinds of work or duty comprises, when
united with faith and love, the one being
spoken Of by our Lord in referring TO mar
riage.-A. NJ. Marriott in H~ousekeeper.

/ notice another real novelty, and that is
that the plush capes for fall are all made
waterproof by some process. This is an
excellent thing. We have now waterproof
.courtauld Grape, wa~terproofed poplins,
serges, cr~ayanettes, o~oyerts, %prunellas and
cheviots, and l dare say other stuffs be-
sides. Tan and brick dust red, also cadet
and lavender, are among the colors most
often seen just now. White linen, wooden
and cotton braid are all seen upon the
gowns. The linen dresses are prettily
wrought with the thick round braid. This
looks more like corset lace than anything,
but is very effective when applied.
The new jackets for fall are now done,
and buyers from everywhere sit about in
the cloak factories, while the poor girls try
on Goa after coat all day long in the heat
for them to choose. Tan cloth is seen often
with white cloth revers or facings and
strap trimming in odd fancies. They oil
have medium sized reyers, and a few have
storm collars, but the most have fiat col
lars. Some are made to match skirts, but
more are to wear with anything. Where
there is braiding it is in queer looking
scrolls, in bold design or close military eff
fects with the always popular three loop
and frogs. Tho sleeves are all close coat
shape; except where at the top they set out
very squarely from the shoulder by means
of hollow plaits. They are all silk lined.
Some have medium sized buttons, while
others close invisibly.
Covert has an advanced place in all
these Jackets and in the jackets suits. One
of these jacket suits in cadet blue, with
pure white revers and braiding, is beauti-
full. With these are worn the white collar
and black satin bow tie. Some of the
cravanetted coyert tuilor gowns nave skirt
and tight basque with a little rain cape to
throw over the shoulders, in case of rain,
made of the same stuff. \

Ignorance OF nousework.

The average working girl begins hel
battle with the world early. She is given
all the school her parents can afford her
and then sets out to earn her living. Of
ten at 16 she is behind the counter or at a
trade or in a shop. When her days work
is over, she is too tired to learn another
trade or practice at one much, even the
TRADE of homework. So when she comes
to have a home of her own all the things
she should have learned under the eye OF
her mother she must learn by the disci-
pine of mistakes at unaccustoIned tasks.
1t seems absurd to say that a girl could
exist who would not know whether a
sheet or blanket should go on first, but
the writer has known two girls who,
though attempting to do general house
work, put the flannel blankets inside the
sheets, and they were not below the aver
age in natural wit, ei-ther.-Elmira Tele-

Color Uniting In Painting Roses.

Poses are charming when well managed.
Blush tea roses may be painted with rose
madden and white for the lights, shaded
with a mixture of rose madden and emer-
aid green, which forms an appropriate
grayish tone. Here the three primary coll
ors are all employed. Grouped with the
pink ones may be pale yellow buds that
are only half blown and separated by
leaves and buds. Then some rich, dark
crimson roses will give a vigorous accent.
Zinc yellow and white for the high lights,
white and raw sienna for the local tone
and terre yerte in the shadows will give
good coloring for charming yellow roses.
Deep crimson, rich and dark in parts, re-
quires rose madder, white and crimson
lake. Then where very rich in shadows,
crimson lake, with a little blue or black,
as the tone may incline to a purplish hue
or simply deepen, will give the strength
required.-Enid E. Bennett in Woman's

If we want to know just how much a
lady depends on the small things for her
effect of being we'll dressed, we have but
to turn to the poor italian women we meet
in the streets. Their shapeless figures
show q lack of ~corsets, their necks rise
gaunt and ugly out of their coiiarless
gowns, their toll worn n never Iele
gloves and there is a total lack OF those Ut
tie odds and ends that mean SO much on o
well dressed woman.
Given o plain bodice, the woman who
knows how to dress will .fasten a pretty,
bright bit Of ribbon around her neck and
tie it in a ravishing bow in the back, or
she will take q handkerchief and cut OIL
two corners and drape it into q pretty
stock and use the ends for bows. A yard
of silk null, lace or lisse will make a
dainty tie. A rose in a hat, a ribbon
around q waist, a bow or two perched CO.
uuettishly on different parts of her bodice
gives just that touch of grace that re-
deems her garb from ugly p~lainness. Neat
shoes, clean, whole gloves, simple gown,
dainty linen, inexpensive put becoming
hat. all put together go far to establishing
any woman's reputation for a tasteful
dresser.
A parasol Of plain black taffeta may be
and often is made a thing of beauty and a

rufle of black silk null or tissue around
the edge and tying q pretty bow on tho
handle. The belt comes in for its share in
the making up of a complete costume. a
dazzling gilt belt with no end OF imita-
t;on Jewels looks well on a white or Light
suit, out is altogether too glaring on a
dark one. A good piece of real lace is a
source of never falling delight to the own

regular shirt sleeves, with cuffs and collars
both sSfffened. Some belts and string ties
Or regular cravats are made Of cotton or
Bingham striped or checked. The belt and
tie are made to mach. Skirts forlate sum-
mer and early fall shew the tuufc skirt or
Dewey f0rnce as II Is now called. Can
vas, linen, cheviot, oloth, c~ravanette and
all the frmer qualities Of goods are all
made SO, the peculiar shape of the skirt
giving it q most graceful sweep, and,
thank the powers, doing away with the
hoopskirt scare. Many of these skirts,
where the first freshness has worn off, may
be rejuyenated by laying a piece OF "ali
oyer'' lace on the upper portion or a deep
piece upon the sprung founce. These are
made to fit the hounce. The lace should
contrast sharply with the gown.
The wooden gowns for early fall show
more skirt and jacket effects than full
susts, but there are still some. where there
are a skirt, open jacket and tight bodice OF
the same, though often a white pique vest
takes its place. There are quite a number
of bayadere stripes, but they are mostly
very modest. One reason why they are
not popular is that the material does not
cut to advantage on account OF matching
the stripes. 1t is almost impossible for
the amateur to do this rightly, and it costs
much more, as one must get at least two
to three yards Of goods more to make q
gown. And it isn't SO very pretty after
all.
The broadcloth seems to be the ~favorite
SO far. and in the military shades 1t is best
liked and made up SO as to have an IN
tangible souvenir of the division he is
in, whether navy, infantry, cavalry or ar
tillery. Thick, satiny cashmere Is another
of the solid colored goods, mi that is
without doubt in for a good season.
The poplins are put forward in great
variety, though l doubt If any woman was
ever really satisfied with a poplin gown
after she had worn it once. Canvas and
fine nuns yelling in all the seasonable
colors viii be worn during the late sum
mer and on warm Indian summer days.
A new wrinkle is to have suits in two or
more shades OF the same color. Ihls Ge-
vice is especially pleasing in browns and
second in different shades of gray. The
apron part will be of the dark and the
hounce light, or vice versa, the waist and
sleeves also divided in the matter OF color
Other suits nave three skirts made in
tailor style, each one overlapping the other.
In n instance 1 noted that the lower
founce was of very dark gray and the
other W lighter. Basques are seen of
tener and oftener to the gradual %eliniina-
ton of the shirt waist and blouse. Yet
