Club Women in the Home.

The idea of a wOmans' club no long
er needs defense. 1t has come to be
recognized that it is woman's inherent
right to keep her individuality and
live her life according to the laws OF
her being. To cultivate as best she

slature, and to bring to the work CT
%.self-culture all the aids within her
reach.
To the busy h~ousekeeper far from
her school days. ne opportunity offers
for the satisfying OF her intellectual
needs like that Of womans' club.
There are whose lives are
cramped and narrow by force of cir
cumstances. who can find no rest or
change from the treadmill round of
tally tasks.
But how many from a mistaken
sense of duty commit the fatal blunder
of sinking the woman. wife and mother
IN the housekeeper, installing the
house for the home. cherishing the
;asket and neglectine the jewels.
That Il woman should make Il need
i.ess sacrifice OF herself for the sake of
her family is not only unwise. but al
most criminal. since it not only dwarfs
her own character, but has exactly tho
same influence on the character of
those tor whom the sacrifice is made.
Tlle womans' club aims to fit it's
members to be better home-makers,
potter and wiser heads of the house.
hold: to enable them to live not for
husband and children, but with them
rs friend and companion.
In the smaller towns and villages
where social life is narrow and cir
g,umscrihed and the privileges of the
lecture course and library but meagcr,
the club is especially helpful.
Here, through the inspiration o. as
ISOLATION, new strength is received for
dsily duties. and from interchange of
ideas new and better methods for even
the homely tasks.
Edges and angles of character are
.softened and smoothed, and awornout
nerves toned. Triies sink to their
true proportions. The strain upon one
set of faculties is relieved by the en-
ployment of others. and soul and body
refreshed and invigorated. The wider
outlook. the broader sympathy, the
truer idea of life and it's duties. bring
beauty and blessing into woman's own
peculiar realm-the home. j. Il. b.

and in literature is possible amid new
aud crude surroundings, but painting
and sculpture, with their kindred spir-
its, require time, sympathy, the fric-
ton of one artistic temperament with
another, and the comparison of work
with the great masters, ancient and
modern. This privilege came first to
the masses with the Centennial expo
%sition, along with the generous open
ing of private art galleries in New
York City the same year. After that
the number of intelligent travellers in
creased. Ambitious girls and youths
made pilgrimages to the art centers of
Europe and learnd how to fan the
sparks of genius into flames. The
American woman who won medal after
medal in the Paris Salon and whose
pictures were exhibited at the Worlds
Fair, was the same timid American
maiden who had received her first in
SEPARATION in the art galleries of the
centennial exposition. Since then
much of Americas wealth has gone in
founding private picture galleries.
The wave of true artistic longing swept
the country from city to hamlet, and
the contemplation of great statuary
and painting became a necessity. The

CLEVER WAY TO OBTAIN GIFTS
Why 1t In Not Quite Clear That Wom-
en- Should Do This Sort
of Thing.

Men, as a rule, do not desire to pre-
sent handsome souvenirs 70 women who
have been gracious to them, but women
who intend TO obtain certain things do
not hesitate TO maneuver, says the New
York Press. An instance of this kind
occurred recently, and in this way:
Having accepted an invitation for a
matinee, charming girl found upon ar
irving ut the theater that she had no
fan. The air. TO her, being intolerably
stuffy, she insisted upon going to shop
near by TO get one. She was accom-
panied by man of the party. and after
choosing a fan she had decided upon
days before excuses followed about pay
ing for it. What could the poor man
do? He paid for the fan and swore at
himself for being trapped. Within the
next month this same charmingly in
nocent maiden obtained a handsome
smelling bottle in the same way. But
later on the two men discussed this af-
fair over b. and S. at their clubs. They
have ceased their visits ut the house Of
the young woman, but she goes on col
!rrting from other men friends in the
same ingenious way.
Just why girls prefer this way of ac-
cumulating small luxuries is not quite
clear. because those who follow this
scheme are in a position to buy. or have
bought for them in their own families,
the same articles they take from men.

Tho SI:ver Party OF Nevada pledges its I'm.

ment laid down by jefferson and Lincoln:
That the highest duty Of government is to 80
regulate its laws that tho spirit of equality
shall follow men through life, giving each amp
lest opportunity to work out to the fullest
measure his possibilities. unrestricted by law,
and unaffected by the conquest Of his domin-
ion of oFportun ty by other men. We indorse

people in cOnsonGnce with the foregoing, the
platform of tho National Silver party formu-
lated ut st. Louis, July % 1896, and the fnan-
cial plank of the National Democratic party
adopted at Chicago, July 7, 1890.

We reaffirm our devotion to the free and nm

GAUDY HANDKERCHIEFS.

Handkerchief next season will be
gaudier than ever before. They will
be of all colors of the rainbow, in
solids, stripes, plaids, polka dots and
figures. Even white ones will not be
plain, for, when not heavily embroid
ereo, they will be lace trimmed-not
with one enge of lace. az heretofore.
but with sey el al lace frills placed one
above the otner, and on both sides OF
the handkerchief, for the fashionable
article has neither right nor wrong
side.
Many samples shown have centers
of solid colors-colors, not tints-with
borders in contrasting colors, plaids,
checks, polka dots and pronounced
floral designs. Other handkerchiefs
appear to be thin bits of colored mus
lin over which small flowers or leaves
are streWn. To a careless observer
they seem nothing more or less than
nemstitched squares of printed lawn.
Close inspection shows linen of the
daintiest quality, with regular and
generally highly artistic design,
stamped as distinctly on one side as
the other. Black, navy blue, scarlet
and brown handkerchiefs embroidered
in white, black or contrasting colors
are to be used by travellers and should
always correspond in color with the
toilet. Travelling handkerchief
should never be lace-trimmed.
