oysters and onions, and it may be recall
I'd that he tod Mr.. Field, the Boston au-
thor who acted as agent in his lecture
tour in this country, that his chief pur-
pose in coming to America was to OBJ
tain some of the famous large oysters
of this land (Which he had heard grew
TO a fabulous size instead of the little
coppery things of England. At this first
dinner of Boston, therefore, a plate of
large Providence Rivers was set Before
him as an appetizer. He partook of one
with a surprised look. Being asked how
he felt, he replied: PROFOUNDLY CRATE
full, feel as if / had swallowed baby
He added that he must eat an onion to oN-
gest him.
In an article On Nervous Tension" in
the February Woman's Home Companion.
Florence Hull Winterburn thus arraigns
the woman active in church, social and
phiianthropic life:
THE moderh woman is conscientious to
a fault, but She feels responsible for
many affairs that her grandmother calm
ly left to Supreme Power. She does not
wish to resign any of her old preroga-
tives but she does want to assume every
new one that comes within her reach.
But there is side to a question that
has not received serious enough consider
alton. Woman's will and ambition are
unlimited, but her horsepower is limi-
ted Nothing so speedily wastes this, our
most precious possession, as the stress
and anxiety that follows the attempt to-
crowd too many things into our lives, and
things that are essentially homogeneous;
never meant TO belong together. 1t is an
exceptionally sane mind that adheres to
its own special duties, and leaves TO
others what belongs of right to them The
vaulting ambition of the feminine mind
should not overlap the practical consul

to perform all the work of the world. We
owe il to men not to force them to degen-
crate into race of shirks Besides, there
is another thing to be thought of. It
would be unpleasant for us if they alto
gether forgot how to work by the time
we are ready to give something up for
them TO do.
The newest corset is made of suede. For
a good many centuries women have been
strapping their bodies up in a combina-
Ii On of steel, whalebone, and heavy cotton
&c DDS or silk but it remained for the wo-
mi IN of to-day to deInand leather corset.
So me women like it and others do not.
Lii ;e everything else in life. it has its

the Philadelphia Times, even when woRl

an Intensely hot garment and gives the
hgur e a stiff, set look. No thin woman
would dream Of wearing one of the suede

and are handsomely embeished with
Lace, ribbon and embroidery. great
deal is said and written about women's

as form erly. This Is true and il isn't true.
There is a period in every woman's life
when S he pulls her strings too hard, it
matters not whether they be corset strings,
shoe strings skirt strings, or what not.
The only difference is that this very bad
habit does not stick to her as IL did TO
her forenlothers Corsets are gayer now
than they have ever been before. Even
the most conservative women are wear
ing those made OF pale pink blue or yell
low, with silk embroidered polka dots or
tieur de lis of a deeper shade; md others
are revelhna n stays made OF bright plaid
and striped silks.
