ENGAGEMENT BAG. ed fayors are
beautiful boxes, pincushions and opera
bags of satin, hand painted or embroid-
cred, and further decked with ribbons !;
dainty muffs and opera hoods of satin
bordered with swans down, but which
may be copied in Grape paper where ex-
pense must be considered; sashes Of
tarlatan bordered with roses or other
blossoms, garlands of artificial roses
with boutonnieres to match and reins
of the same flowers, gayly painted but
terfiies, gigantic in size, to be fastened
to the gown, or a wand, and smaller
ones to be worn in the hair; fans,
rosettes, boas, capes, and collars. Among
the most popular ordered favors are
parasols of ruffied tarlatan of white and
dainty tints, with frames and handles
of white. They are completed at the
top with flowers and ribbons matching
the tint of the tarlatan.
A novelty is a satin or denim Fen

wide and a yard long and is provided
with seven pockets representing the

which the engagements for the week are
inscribed Wicker baskets wound with
ribbons and filed with artificial flowers
are much in evidence, while single flow
ers, such as roses, chrysanthemums, hy-
acinths or bluebells, made large enough
to form caps are also favorites. Grape
paper dolls which stand unassisted and
have caps tied about their absurd little
faces are among desirable favors.
Sticks, stats, wands and shepherd
esses' crooks are all very popular, because
without much expense they make a
brave show. Some of the latter are Of
plain white wood polished and entwined
with wild or field flower garIands-
daisies. buttercups, ferns, poppies, etc.
Long white painted directoire sticks
have punches Of roses tied on with an
abundance of ribbon, other sticks have
clusters of cherries attached by ribbons,
others are topped by folly heads tied
with bell tipped ribbons, and here it
may be said that bells and ribbons play
prominent part in the evolution Of

Girl Cashiers Mind Reading Methods Of
Making Change.
The girl cashier of a Madison street
restaurant was for three weeks believed
by one of the customers to be lineal
descendant of Morgan le Fay and to
have some of the family traits Of Heller,
the second sight magician, for she
seemed to know by intuition or instinct
or something else what was the price of
the meal he had consumed and also Just
the amount of money in his hand when
he approached to pay. He first noticed
that when he presented 35 cent check
she Immediately laid upon the rubber
mat dime and nickel which she had
been holding for change.
"How," this man inquired of him.
self, "did she know that 15 cents would
be the correct change? There was no
earthly way for her to tell what money
was going to offer her either. How
did she come to have the exact change
ready without seconds delay or with
out having to go to the cash register for
it?'' He could not answer to his own
satisfaction
The next day he bought a 45 cent
meal, and she promptly laid a nickle
before him, the cent piece being the
only coin she held in her hand. 1t was
the correct amount, as he gave her
half dollar He experimental several
times afterward and at last appealed to
her for information.
"Why," she said, didn't you ever
notice the tint of your check?" When
see you coming 30 feet away, know
by the slate colored check that you have
eaten 90 cents worth II you have
red ticket, that warns me that you want
to pay for two bit meal. A blue one
means 80 cents. This yellow one is, Of
course, for 40 cents. The amount is
printed upon the check, but the color
is my warning. .
"Yes, )" said the other, somewhat re-
lieved. "that seems easy. But still my
money is not of different colors How
do you know what change to have
ready? That's mind reading, sure. -

FALL, SNOW.

Fail, snow, and cease not. Flake by fake
The decent winding sheet compose.
Thy task il just and pious. Make
An end Of blasphemies and woes.
Fall, snow, in stiffness fall, like dew
On churcli's roof and cedar's fan,
And mold thyseH on pine and yew
And on the awful face of man.
On qu;lking moor and mountain moss.
With eyes upstaring at the sky,
And arms extended like a cross,
The long expectant sufferers lie.

Put forth thine hand from cloud and mist,
And minister the last sad rite,
Who're altar there is none nor priest.

THE NEW WOMAN.

At Any Rate. She Does Not Resort to
Falsehood.
Characteristic of the old woman is
her steadfast efforts to inject her own
narrow prejudices into other people S
lives and opinions have lately been
considerably impressed with two of the
old woman IS attempts in this direction.
Shortly after the death Of Miss Willard
specimen old woman wrote a sketch
of her in New York paper 1t was
mostly glowing enlogy of her, as in
deed it should have been. for Frances
Willard was one of the noblest women
of her century. But after mentioning
the chief events of the temperance lead
er's life and her salient characteristics
the typical old woman who wrote the
sketch remarked, "With it all, Miss
Willard was thoroughly domestic in her
tastes and not the least of new wom-
an" Now, if Frances Willard was not
new woman in every real sense of the
word | should like to know who was.
Her attention had not been called to
woman suffrage strongly when she first
NOGA4A oOAI PCAc ActAOO UOAh. OIJ QU1GA1y9
however, she recognized that to do any
work which involves influencing the
people widely women must have the
ballot. She saw this and said SO bravely
at the first opportunity, and from that
day to her death woman suffrage had no
more eloquent or earnest advocate than
she was. The woman suffrage conven-
tion in session at Washington held a
memorial service in her honor. Frances
Willard sought 20 years ago to have
women admitted as delegates to the
Methodist general conference, and her
self was sent as delegate and turned
away by the high nosed old bigots in
the Methodist conference of that day.
Frances Willard also learned to ride a
bicycle after she was 90 years old, and
wheeling had no more enthusiastic de-
votee than she. Now, once more, if this
was not being new woman I should
modestly like to ask what is. A little
while ago read sketch written by
some old woman about friend of my
own, plucky young lady lately gone
to the Klondike with her husband. The
young lady has been associated with the
progressive thinkers of the time ever
since she was grown and is herself,
while one of the gentlest and lovablest
of women, a thorough radical in her
ideas She is century bicycle woman
and rides mans or diamond frame
wheel in divided skirt Yet the old
woman who wrote the sketch of her
sweetly informs the public that she, too.
is entirely "womanly, - being in no
sense new woman Once again 1
should be glad if these old women who
write such stuff would kindly inform
us what a new woman is in their judg-
ment. They at length weary me.
