 This energetic maiden, having been carefully taught at home, is clever with her needle, and has been abundantly successful in putting money in her purse by repairing and refurbishing the wardrobe of friends. These are young women who contrast favorably with many men under like circumstances. They are but instances of the many capable, earnest, right minded girls who, with good courage, are fitting themselves for the changed economic conditions of our social life. It is such girls as these who cause their helpers to feel that there is no investment of money that brings in richer returns than this of helping girls to an education. With a fine spirit of independence, these girls are earning their own college education, and they enable their friends to smile serenely at the hackneyed charges against "woman's lack of business honor y

Demand For Reform aarters.

Garters are gayer than ever before. No woman dreams of wearing plain elastic bands to keep up her stockings nowadays. Indeed, garters are now made so many colored that they rival the fashionable hosiery itself when it comes to startling brilliancy. A garter can come about as near marring or mak- ing woman $ happiness as any trifling accessory of her toilet. Women general ly, long ago, gave up the elastic band which held the stocking up below or above the knee Health culturists first told them that it was injurious, pre- venting perfect circulation, but the sex clung to it, with its bejeweled buckles and beautiful bows of ribbon. Then the culturists told them that the round gar ter would spoil the shape of the leg, and they dropped it like a hot cake and adopted the suspender garter, or stocking supporter, as it is oftener called.
 The newest supporters are made of very broad and fancy silk elastic in brilliant Scotch plaids or Roman stripes, or else plain elastic covered with rib bons that would shame Joseph's coat, put on full. The catches and side buckles are of white metal, silver. silver gilded and pure gold, and some of them are studded with precious and semipreeious gems. One style fastens around the waist of the wearer by means of satin belt matching in color the predominant ing tone of the elastic; the other fas- tens at the side of the corset with catch pins. Both methods are unsatisfactory. The waistband is warm in summer and destroys the lines about the waist. It is indeed impossible for woman inclined to be stout. The other, if such length as to keep the stocking up properly, pulls on the corset and gives the wearer most uncomfortable. tired feeling to- ward the end of the day.
 All of these drawbacks have tend ency to make woman conclude that, after all, her great-grandmother was right in declaring that the most satis- factory garter in the world was a string torn from the selyage of piece of flannel and wrapped just loose enough for comfort and tight enough for con venience about the stocking above or below the knee. 4 woman who will in- vent a really artistic and at the same time comfortable stocking supporter will strike Klondike.

Why the Widow Calls Herself "n1iss."

A young widow whose husband died two years ago has opened a barber shop. and her sign reads. Miss Boyd, Barber"
 Asked why she called herself "Miss, {" she naively replied that she had good business reasons; that men seem to prefer to be shaved and "tonsorialized" :" by an unmarried woman; they seem to hesitate at having their hair cut by a woman whose husband might come in and offer to attend to the customer him. self.
 eff my sign read Mrs, persons who saw it would expect to find my husband here ready to wait on them. A woman barber who is single seems to be more attractive than one who is married, {" said Mrs. Boyd.-St. Louis Republic.

Women Are Good Tenants.

The change ill the status of women in the business world within even ten years has been most marked in the atti- tude of renting agents and property owners toward them as tenants. Ten years ago it was extremely difficult for woman to hire house or flat unless some man signed the lease and guaran- teed payment of the rent.
 Now all this is changed, and the homesick stenographer, the bright busi ness woman in any line, may enjoy "all the comforts Of home" under the roof of her town hired house, and real es- tate men are glad to get them for ten ants.
 Just exactly how women are viewed as tenants was aseertained by calls made upon agents handling some of the largest lists of residence property.
 Do you rent houses or flats to wom- en?9 was asked, and all without hesita- tion answered, "Yes. '' In point of fact, since 1893 so many flats and houses were vacated and such a large number of apartments were built to be used as Worlds fair hotels that competition for tenants has become sharp. and the re- strietions have been lessened until rents have fallen to such figure that four girls with an average income of but $S a week may occupy six room, steam heated apartment, with gas range and hot water furnished, and keep house as cheaply as they could board and be far more comfortable.
 Not long since booklet issued to ad. vertise newly built apartment house pointed out its advantages as a residence for business women. In fact, they have almost crowded the men altogether out of large office building down town, where three floors are occupied by them.
 Renting agents expressed themselves freely that. all things being equal, the woman in business life was regarded as desirable tenant
 Women generally ask more in the way of repairs and improvements than do men, said one agent, "but we are only too willing to rent to them, though we look very sharply as to their ability to pay the rent. No. we do not re- quire man s name on the lease. No one does now Chicago Times Herald.

mother upon the question that she re- linquished the plan. Inheriting deeid- ed artistic talent from her mother, this royal princess is now turning her atten- tion to bookbinding and the designing of book covers. The library at Sandring hnm is greatly enriched with some of her excellent work, and at recent ex- hibition of book covers in London two examples, contributed by Miss Mat thews, won prizes It was not until weeks afterward that the judges, dispensers of prizes or the royal family themselves knew that the energetic princess had won these testimonials under such commonplace name.
 The same royal etiquette that forbids Princess Victoria adopting any calling denies the Marchioness of Lorne, better known as the Princess Louise, from putting her talents as sculptor to practical use. The Lornes have very small income and the marohioness has extrayagant tastes She is also most vigorous and independent woman, who openly deplores her fate in having been born princess. She has compromised W4t4A ACI Ah0tuGf dbd ldiiity by OcbtusA- bly refusing to receive orders for any work done in her studio. She is allowed, however, to volunteer to contribute busts, bas reliefs. statues and decorative sculpture, with seeming royal generosi- ty, to churches, public buildings and parks These she executes in her studio in Kensington palace with more than amateur zeal and care. In return for her kindness thanks, engrossed on illu- minated parchment, are offered ill pub lie, while quite behind the scenes the thrifty lady is waited on by commit tee that presents her with carved wood casket. This casket is never open cd under the eye of the assembled spec tators, but people are at liberty to be- lieve if they choose that the contents are just about the market value of such work.

rashtona In skirts ana waista.

Fashionably made dress skirts, with the exception of some tailor gowns, hang separate from the Innings, which rarely measure more than four yards around.
 For narrow silks and washable ma- terials the best and newest skirt is the seven gore bell, which fits smoothly across the front and hips and has graceful fullness at the back. It has a dip in the back, which is given more by the bias back seam than by the add ed length at the bottom. In wide wool materials the bell skirt with the wide side gore is most used It is graceful and does not cut into the material to disadvantage. The Paquin skirt, with graduated circular f1ounoe, is made in all sorts of materials and will be much used on Lightweight wool goods as we'll as on the foulards, which are again to the front in new designs. Rows of grad uated velvet run from the skirt hem to the waist, and many have rows of black insertion placed at intervals the entire depth of the skirt. Of course drop lin ings are always used in these gowns, and the outside is tackled in places to the lining to prevent the net from sag ging and hanging below the lining.
 There is no getting around the fact that the fancy odd waist will reign in- definitely. Perhaps the chiffon and mousseline waists are the greatest fa- yorites, yet the fancy colored taffetas and yelvets, as we'll as all sorts of silken weayes, are much worn. Blousy fronts are still coming out daily in new crea- tions, which fact assures their style as good for the coming season. Woman s Home Companion.

Business Honor In Women.

One hears so much ill these days about the Responsibility of women, comments the New York Tribune, their unbusinesslike methods in business mat ters and their disregard of the value of time that it is truly refreshing to dis cover facts which tend to refute these charges.
 There exists in connection with one of the leading colleges for women a so- oiety formed for the purpose of lending peouniary aid to needy students Its loans are to be repaid at the convenience of the borrower, and without interest, There is, in fact, only moral obliga tion to repay them at all
 A young woman who was graduated from the college some IS months ago had received moderate loans, aggregat ing in all S50o She at once began to work for . salary, and has already paid fbaok into the society s treasury the full amount of her indebtedness. without re- oeiving any intimaticn from her official creditors that speedy payment was de- sired. A delicate sense of honor was shown when the official to whom her fAl AA8e@k4tn N c Ak-AiS rd SSSstSd tIiut dCA efforts might be somewhat relaxed as the Christmas season approached. The reply was quick and decisive:
 1T hope you do not think that l would mako Christmas presents while in debt. That would give pleasure neither to me nor to the friends who might receive embrances purchased with money which was not my own. " When she was congratulated on the fine feeling thus expressed, quick as flash came the rejoinder, "Not fine feeling at all, but common honesty. 7

 At as early m age as a child can think and plan Miss Timlow longed for college career. Her fathers means were limited, and at IS she still saw no way to unlock the college doors. At this time Mir. Timlow's health failed, and the family moved from New Haven to Burnt Hills. a small village in Saratoga county, this state. Here Miss Timlow started school, and by the time she was 23-the age at which most girls graduate from college-she had saved enough money to warrant her in enter ing Wellesley. From Wellesley she went to the Keble school at Syracuse as teacher, and while pursuing the busy life of an instructress in a boarding school she combined literary work with her school work, writing for The At lantic. Leslie's, Youths Companion, Harper's Bazaar and many other publi- cations.
 Her love for teaching equals, and, in fact, exceeds, her love of literature. She says that she will never give up teach ing for writing that teaching is her life work, writing her recreation and amuse- ment. After her fathers death she started school in New Jersey, and since 1893 has unaided supported her mother and sisters by her literary and professional industry. Each year she has given the public one of her charm. ing children s books, and in the coming summer two more are promised from her pen.-New York Mail and Express

and regulation Of railroad rates The
party Of "pure politics" IN Iowa is
lust like other parties. Way back in
the sos the democratic party passed
a prohibltory liquor law. The repub-
licans in order to gain the German
vote, exempted from it's provision
wine and beer. This renamed the
law until prohibition carried in the
state. The legality Of the election by
which tho prohibitory amendment
carried was however questioned, and
being carried to the supreme court
was knocked out The republicans
were so delighted over the action OF
the supreme judges, that as each one
came up for denomination he was
promptly relieved from the cares OF
judicial life. The party as every body
knows does not believe in criticism OF
our Judges. The republicans then
enacted statutory prohibition and for
several years lost control OF the state
government. Tben "pure politics"
came to the rescue and the party
abandondoned prohibition and again

the prohibtory law, and is today
