WORKING GIRLS CRITERION.
She Is Judged Largely BY Her Clothes.

S'O 20 WV 5SS ~a' Boy ~ ''C' O'S'''NS'
The girl who has definite social
standing, says Jane Adams in the
February Atlantic, who has been to a
fashionable school or to a college, whose
family live in a house seen and known
by all her friends and associates, can
afford to be very simple or even shabby
as to her clothes, if she likes. -
But the working girl whose family
live in a tenement or move from one
small apartment to another, who has
little social standing, and has 10 make
her own place, knows full Well how
much habit and style of dress have to
do with her position. Her income goes
into her clothing out of all proportion
to that which she spends upon other
things. But if social advancement is
her aim, it is the most sensible thing
which she can do. She is judged large
ly by her clothes. Her house furnish
ing with its pitifUl little decorations,
her scanty supply of books are never
seen by the people whose social opin-
ions she most values. Her clothes are
her background, and from them she is
largely judged. All
1t is due to this fact that girls clubs
succeed best in the business part of a
young ladies" meet upon an equal
footing, and where the clothes super
'ticially look very much alike.
Bright and ambitious girls will come
to these downtown clubs to eat lunch
and rest at noon, to study all sorts of
subjects and listen to lectures, when
they might hesitate a long time to join
a club identified with their own neigh
borhood, where they would be judged
not solely on their personal merits and
the unconscious social standing afford
ed to good clothes, but by other sur
roundings which are not nearly up to
these.
For the same reason. girls clubs are
infinitely more difficult to organize in
little towns and villages, where every
one knows every one else, just how the
front parlor is furnished, and the
amount of mortgage there is upon the
house. In some very success
full downtown clubs, the home address
is not given at all, and only the "busi-
ness address" is required. Have we
worked out our democracy in regard to
clothes farther than in regard to any
thing else?

ENRIQUE GUERRA.

As spring comes on, most women
and many men who have lived hot
house lives during the winter find
themselves unduly f%retful, unable to
sleep soundly, without appetite, easily
tired, frequently distressed by head
aches, and lacking "snap" and
strength-the result Of poor blood and
weak nerves.
To those in this condition, the
thousands OF testimonials from peo-
pie like Mr.. Guerra, who have been
benefited by Paine's celery compound,
should be reason enough for giving
this best Of all spring medicines at
least a trial. What il has done for
others, il will do for the reader. IL
will purify the blood, clear the COM
plexion, %rejuvenate the exhausted
nervous system, insure good diges-
ton, bring on healthy sleep and re-
store ones strength and vitality.
No other medicine in the world
ever accomplished so much, and a sim
gle trial will add another to the long
list of people in every community who
gratefully sound the praises of Paine's
compound.

THE RETURN OF THE HERO.

Admiral George Dewey, the Here Of
Manila Bay, and the most prominent
figure in the recent war with Spain
has left Manila on his flagship
"Olympia" and is proceeding by easy
stages to New York, where he is ex-
pected to arrive about October LIST.
1899. His homeward journey will be
II triumphal one, and at each foreign
port the highest honors, both civil
and naval, will be accorded him. Not
until his arrival in New York Harbor,
no Sever, will he fully iealize the place
he holds in the hearts of his country
men. Not only the citizens of New
York City, but the whole American
people will watch eagerly for his COM
ing; thousands from all parts of the
country will be on band to welcome
him; large appropriations are being
made by the City and State of New
York, and the plans being made for
celebrating his arrival are gigantic in
their scope.
The day OF his arrival will be nota-
BILE in American history. 1t will find
New York Harbor swarming with
crafts Of every description, from the
mighty battleship to the tiny steam
launch. These will fall into line and
accompany the famous "Olympia" up
the North River as far as Riverside
Park, where the magnificent monu-
ment in which rest the ashes of Cen
eral U. S. Grant, the Hero of the Civil
War, will look down upon the great
est naval pageant in the history Of
the world. The scene will be beyond
description. The booming OF the great
guns, the screaming OF innumerable
whistles, and the shouts and accla-
nations from a million spectators
ahoat and ashore, will continue the
American peoples first note OF well
come to Admiral George Dewey.
The second note of welcome will be
sounded when the Admiral sets foot
on American soil. The land parade
OF military and naval forces, veterans
societies, etc, will be on scale
equally colossal. The entire city will
be gloriously decorated with flags and
bunting; triumphal arches will be
erected; and the business will be EN-
tirely suspended in order that all
may join in welcoming the returning
hero in II manner which shall ex.
