WAR HELPED WOMEN.
The Civil Conflict Opened the Way
for Women in RusIness

| From the New Orleans Picayune.
| One of the most Interesting. as well as
| important factors in the labor problem to-
day is the employment of women in the
various departments of labor cnce reserved
for men, and the competition OF women
1 with men in the struggle for life.
There were 22,oOeGoO persons OF both
sexes engaged in gainful pursuits OF all
| sorts in 1890. OF these, about 4G00 600
we're females and 1sOo9. 600 males. There
were. according to The same census about
100000 families in the United States In
| 1850 there were about 10.000.010 workers OF
! both sexes, and of these one-twentieth or
JcoVto. were females. These We're engaged
| chiefly in clothing factories. cotton mills
and in shoe binding. and they were found
almost wholly in the New England states,
whose me1 had gone away TO or 20 the
new lands of the west and left their wo-
men dependent.
In the west and i'm the south a woman
seldom went away from the home to work,
or, il so. they were occupied with house
hold duties in families. After the civi! war
[ the situation was vastly changed. 4 mil
lion then lost their lives. were 81 dis
abled as 10 be incapacit2ted to support
themselves.
The south suffered more than any other
section, and many women were LEFT self
dependent 1t was new thing to see white
women IN the southern states start out TO
seek work in avenues that had been pre-
ViouSly closed to women. They could not
take domestic service, because such places
were moEopolized by the negroes. who had
been brought up to that sort OF work.
The posts of teaching the young cid not
afford places for all who were forced &c
work, and thus the white women of the
south ernUlated their sisters of the north
end west in seeking the means of earning
livelihood in every honorable work with
in their capacity, and however much the
necessity for such a state Of things Is re-
gretted. IL must be recognized all the
Sd me.
IL is not only unmanly but 1t is ou.-
rageously unjust for men TO complain that
women are driving them out of employ
ment There are IL 900 900 heads os famt-
lies in the United States. Some of these are
WIDOWS but the greatest number are men.
There are men enough in the country 10
support all the women, If they would. The
fact is that they do not. 1t is their own
fault If every man who pretends to be n
nan were supporting a woman. as he
should. there would be probably 600 900
places in Offices stores, shops and factories
that are now occupied by women workers
left free to E4en, and the women would be
at home
The worst feature in the entire situation
is that the women are put off with almost
Cne-Eaf the wages given 70 men for the
same service. This is an outrage in many
cases. When the women acquire the power
IN business which they have always been
able to WELD in love they will correct tke
evil of lower wages. too.

FOR THE BABY.
Duintiness is the Chief Feature to
Be Considered in Clothes.

From the Boston Post.
Fashions in babies clothes seem rather
amusing. but there are changes each new
season in the manner and details of the
making. As far as the outlay of money
goes. there is hardly limit to the amount
it is possible to spend, but daintiness is the
chief feature to be considered - for the
parents circumstances and common sense
should surely limit the expenditure.
From six 10 ten long dresses compose the
usual outfit, some Of them simply made,
some elaborately trimmed. 1t is now the
fashion to change. the little ones from long
to short clothes at as early an age four
months French ndinSOOk IS the faVOrfte
material for the finer dresses. Just now
the inevitable yoke in the baby's gown is
cut square, not quite extending over TO the

two pretty ways, both equally popular. One

as transparent as the lace.

Now It's Pneumatic Corsets.

From the Chattanooga News.
A corset made of rubber is adapted for
the use of women who are learning to
swim. The corset is cut on the same gen.
eral lines of all corsets, and made double,
so that the air space between the two
thicknesses may be blown up and serve
not only to present a neat appearance to
the figure, but also to buoy ii up and give
confidence to the timid. a lack of conf
dence is responsible for the slowness with
which this accomplishment is learned by
women, and this corset should prove a boon
to women who delight in aquatic sports,
but have no hardihood for them. The very
knowledge that they cannot sink leaves
their brain clear enough to think of the
proper strokes for hands and feet, and as
soon as they find they can move through
The water from one place to another and
become accustomed to these movements
the corset may be discarded. 1t is much
more shapely than the big rubber rings and
cork life preservers, and, in fact, does not
show at all, as 1t conforms TO the shape
of the wearer

THE WELL-DREssED WOMAN.
All Things In Her Toilet Harmonious
hut Not Conspicuous

From tie Womans Home Companion
The well-dressed woman is not only well
gowned, but all the small details of bar
toilet are given consideration Her b.ir
skin and nails show evidences of care and
palnstaklng, and her clothing has not onlv
been we'll made, but is we'll kept. There
are some women who think it almost sim
fui to pay much attention to dress and
personal care, and to look well dressed and
stylish is quite beneath their ambition
But believe me, there is no sin in always
trying to look your best, and that the game
Is well worth the candle will show in tho
influence upon your home, husband and
children.
Inc WeIl-dressed woman is not the one
who dresses the most extravagantly. or
employs the most fashionable dressmaker:
nor is she the one who affects all ultra
styles and fads in dress; but it is she who
is always consistently dressed with regard
to time, place, occasion, age and the size
of her husbands or fathers income The
ever-bright jewel of consistency is never
more beautiful than when shown in the
matter of dress In these days when so
many snowy and pretty baubles are design
ed and offered for woman's adornment.
We all owe a duty to our families our-
selves and society at large to make the
best of ourselves in every way, and to be
always well dressed is one of the ways of
doing 1t. care in dress argues a certain
respect for ones self, and peopIe are very
prone to take you at your own estimate
The well-dressed woman aims to have all
things in her toilet harmonious, having no
one feature conspicuous. You know at
glance she is well gotten up, and yet no
one particular thing claims your attention
! She does not put on all sorts of incongru-
| Gus combinations, nor is she ever over

more commendable and safer than to be

idea that anything is good enough to take
a journey, for there are few places where
q gown shows more thoroughly its good
and bad points than in a railway car or on
a steamboat.
The day is gone by for people to go

Ny lady's slipper sees a very radical

geous affair 1t glistens, both by sunlight
and the gieam Of gas or electricity, for it is
a jeweled slipper, and, oftener than other
wise, eiaborateiy jeweied. The style is to
have these slipper jewels match the pin or

fantastic and curious designs are worn, in
ocdiy finished gold, the effect is exceed
ingly picturesque and attractive. Rhine
