SHE BELONGS TO NO CLUB
And Yet Mrs Parkhurst's Life Is an
Active and Useful One

A most interesting woman, who is spend
ing a fortnight in Chicago, is Mrs Charles
II. Parkhurst, wife of the New York pas
tor and reformer. Though she is distinctly
one OF the progressive women of the day,
she will tell you in the second breath that
she occupies the position, unique in these
feminine times, of not belonging to single
woman's club in the whole world. Mrs
Parkhurst prefers to be known pre-em-
nently AS home woman and a church
woman. But when her distinguished hus-
band opened warfare against the Tammany
police force few years ago and won the
title OF "the fighting parson Of Gotham"
Mrs. Parkhurst was closely identified with
this crusade to oust political corruption.
At that time she presided over meetings of
the Woman's Municipal league, which CO.
operated with the reverend reformer, and
personally looked after the securing of suit
able halls for meetings held under the di-
rection of DR.. Parl1hurst. One interesting
result of Mrs. Parkhurst's work in this
municipal movement, which aroused the in.
terest of the entire country, was her sue
cessful efforts in reclaiming the unfortun-
ate women who were made homeless by
the raids of the police. 1t is said that 70
per cent of the entire number were re-
claimed through her efforts.
But Mrs. Parkhurst was loath to talk
of this famous reform movement, pleading
that it was a thing Of the past. ''I am
thoroughly interested in another matter,
which l shall in quiet way present to
the women of Chicago" she continued with
enthusiasm, "and that is the McAM mission
movement, of which l am the national presi.
dent. This body of religious American won.
en- has headquarters in Philadelphia, whence
from time to time are sent missionaries int,
France to reclaim people by preaching the
gospel. This work was started twenty-sev-
en- years ago by an Englishman named DR..
McAll, and from time to time the work has
progressed wonderfully, until now there are
prosperous missions in many parts of
France. One of the prominent pastors of
mission is coming to America in January.
by the way, and will be heard in the larger
cities"
Thereupon the talk turned upon the WON.
ans club movement, Mrs. Parkhurst declar.
Ing it was much overdone in these DAYS.
In appearance Mrs. Parkhurst is most at
tractive. She is wellbuilt woman of mid.
die age, with her expressive face framed
with "crowning glory" of white. Though
Mrs. Parkhurst's manner is reserved, there
crops out from time to time an enthusiasm
and an energy that must have been an; in.
spiration to "the fighting parson of Goth.

Valuable Recipe for Old Ink

"While examining large number Of
manuscripts of an old scribe, some twenty
five years ago." said well known New
York librarian recently, 'I was struck with
the clearness and legibility of the writing,
owing, in a great measure, to the permanent
quality of the ink, which had not faded in
the least, although many Of the manu-
script were nearly 200 years old. 1t was
remarked, too, that the writer must have
been celebrated in his day for his caligraphy,
for met with letter or two from his cor
respondents in which there was request
for the recipe of the ink he used. found
his recipe, which l copied, and from one
Of them, dated in 1858, have during the
last eighteen years made all the ink have
used.
"The recipe reads as follows: Rain water,
l gallon; gals, bruised, pound; green cop
peras, u pound; gum arabic, 10 ounces, 8
drains, scruple. Not requiring so large
quantity at time, l reduced the proper
tions to oneeighth, and the recipe stands
thus:
Rain water, l pint; gals, bruised, lA
ounces; green copperas, drains; gum ara
bic, 10 drains. The gals must be coarsely
powdered and put into bottle with the
ether ingredients and water added. The bot
tie, when securely stoppered, should be
placed in the light (sun if possible) and it's
contents occasionally stirred until the gum
and copperas are dissolved, after which it
is enough to shake the bottle daily, and in
the course Of a month or six weeks the ink
will be fit for use. | have ventured to add
ten drops of carbolic acid to the contents
of the bottle, as it effectually prevents the
formation and growth of mold without any
detriment to the quality of the ink, so far
as l know."-Washingt Evening Star.

Oh all klnus, ana 10 give you my notes on tne
newest Partisan lingerie.
THREE KINDS OF FUR
Parisians are nothing if not eccentric, alike
in their dress as in their politics, and one
of their very latest fads consists in COM
bining two, and sometimes even three, furs
upon 0Ie garment. l am not now referring
to the trimming of seal or caracul fur squares
or coats with another variety of pelt. That
is an old story, which We hava long ago
adopted and made our own. But a, velvet
coat, Tor example, is often trimmed with
ermine, chinchilla and mink at one and the
same time. Moreover, the effect obtained,
even If little outre, is distinctly good. One
model l interviewed was of emerald green
velvet. 1t was tight-ftting coat and may
best be described as an exceedinglN abbre-
waited edition Of the Louis coat, SO fashion
able over here, in that it bore tailed basque
and large revers. There was huge flare
collar at the back edged with rouleau of
caracul and faced with ermine.
BY the way, this collar was seemingly in
one with the revers. The gauntlet cuffs were
similarly edged and faced, and the costume,
coat and skirt alike, was lineG with pale
green satin. The vest, a tight-titting one,
was of ermine, bearing a lace cravat, edged
with rouleau of caracul. Al belt, jeweied
with emeralds, and fastened by means OF
huge emerald clasp, was worn around the
waist, though, to my mind, the gown would
have gained in elegance what it lost in bril-
liancy without it.
But no more at present. I hope by this
time you are convinced that the dress
makers have cause to lament.

WAsHINGToN's SCANDAL
Chief Justice Fuller Does Not Approve

The latest engagement in the fashionable
set is that of Miss Jane Fuller, youngest

Washington society generally is doing
more than the legitimate amount of wor-
rying over something. In this particular
instance the couple engaging attention is
Mrs. Aubrey, another daughter of Chief

larity is the comingout tea, which was for
merly the method adopted to introduce
young women to society. The changes that
have gradually come over the style of this
entertainment may not be responsible for
its decline, but there are some who think
that so long as it continued formal there
was no danger of the disfavor which has
threatened it for several years. When the

creature comforts of Mrs. Aubrey, hence
the announcement that the marriage would
take place on the 7th of August. With pru-
dent forethought, the chief justice had put

cial condition of his would-be son-in-law.

does not believe in divorce, has all along
declared that her brother was not engaged
to the chief Justices daughter, because OF
the alleged legal disability of the latter to
contract a marriage. Mamma Blair's gen
erosity is held in check by the power be-
hind the throne. That is why the Aubrey
Fuller-Blair marriage has been called off
for the present. Yet the ex-finacees, ac-
cordidng to cruel gossip, are still meeting,
and it is impossible to predict what will
happen.-From a Washington dispatch.
