lined to fold into a our-in-hand or Ascot
knot, but are hemmed on the edge and tie
in a big breezy bow knot with ends falling
nearly to the waist. One charm of this
fashion is that whoever makes her own
shirt waists at home can easily whip to-
gether her own necktles and the laundress
will have no difficulty with peculiarities Of
shape. Widespotted ribbons, lengths Of soft
silk and white lawn are all material for the
new ties, and nothing will be considered
more fitting with a pink striped shirt waist
than a tie made of white or cream point
d'esprit knotted in a very liberal front bow.
Linen and Bingham waists all show small
Jokes cut in three points. The middle one
is long and narrow, to either side of 1t are
smaller, blunter ones, and a line of orna-
mental machine stitching or Turren boning
follows the gothic points Of the yoke that
still comes forward on the shoulder a good
deal. Sleeves are very much what they
were last summer and fit closer than ever,
when they are cut on the straight mascu-
line plan. When the season arrives We are
going to have our quota of pique shirts, but
In the intermediate season blouses Of pretty
pale cloth decorated with ribbon braid and

Of silk. They are showing a preference for
cloth all along the line Of spring purchases.
One novelty is a light tan goods with a mar

REIGN OF THE ROSEBUD.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2G.-The reign Of the
rosebud has already commenced. Small as
this crimson-tipped flower is, 1t successfully

ginghams and silks are wreathed and speck-
led, spotted and dotted with coquettish baby
roses from the romantic moss bud to the
close sheathed tiny button rose. All this
Of course goes only to prove that we are in
for a pink spring instead OF a lilac, violet
or corn flower blue one. There Is indeed
matter for a prolonged and undeniably thrill
ing teacup talk Of coming modes already
spread forth on the counters. Abridged in
formation must make 1t known that the
favorite organdie pattern Is that OF a fine
rose vine in bud, and creeping over a trellis
pattern In faint green or pale yellow. In
dimity and a beautiful new starchless muslin
called PHILIPPINE the prim baby rose Is placed
formally inside a tiny check square or regu-
lar narrow bands of green run in bayadere
or perpendicular stripes between straight
narrow trails of roses.
The cloud-like silk muslins that promise
to be the most fashionable summer ball
gowns have full blown Jeses in two shades
of pink or in yellow and red on their faint
blue, deep cream or lemon tinted back
grounds, and for the Easter bridesmaids
these are going to be the most fashionable
possible habits.
Zephyr ginghams and piques, with damask
stripes or flower patterns, are going to
have the first choice in wash goods, while
all the colored cotton goods from Scotland
show small plaids in two colors, with shirred
stripes. Most interesting for the moment,
though, than these vernal temptations is the
great variety of light weight woods that

STATUE o 4 VAsSAR GIRL.
Monument to n Northern Woman IL
Erected nv Women,

There are very few monuments in the
United States, CT even in the world, erected
to commemorate the virtues and gifts OF a
woman. New Orleans has its beloved statue
Of Margaret, tic POOR woman who helped
poorer women 20 buy their Dolly necessary
bread. There is row. on foot a project in
the north to erect a monument to another
woman, Miss Beubana Walworth, a Nassar
student who lost her life last year at Mon
tauk Point. The statue will commemorate
a woman and is to be erected by women.
The project has been started by the Col
legiate alumnae and will be proposed to the
continental congress of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution, which meets in Wash
ington on February %.
Miss Walworth was herself a daughter and
went to Camp Wikoif as a nurse. Her mother
worked assliuously for the comfort of the
sick soldiers there, overseeing the diet
kitchen and lending a hand wherever she
found need. Worn out with nursing and
exposure to unaccustomed hardships, her
daughter took typhoid fever and in spite OF
the best care did not recover from it.
Miss Magee, one of the beard of the Phil
adelphia chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, told a pretty story in
connection with Miss Walworth's death.

Already we see how the leading dress
makers have their work rooms full Of pale
gray suits. deliberately garnished with white
panels, facings, vests and embroidery. At
opera matinees In New York the box holders
appear in pure white cloth suits trimmed
with silver and white lace, and flashing

French H~enriettas.
II you ask In the shops for the new
spring things they will show you first Of
all French Henrietta cloth. That is guaran-
teed to usurp the place OF challie to a great
extent. 1t is Just as light and cool and
graceful as challie; it is no more expensive
and 1t wears very much better. Its lightness
epables one to indulge in a draped skirt
without fear OF weight, and its cleanliness
proves it AN excellent goods for travel use.
Women who are buying it push aside the
navy blue, olive green and wood brown for
French blue, ash gray, willow green, biscuit
pink and pale tans; they know what the
future is going to bring forth.
All the genuine vitality OF the shoppers
at present Is concentrated about the shirt
waist counter. II forerunning signals mean
anything, We are sure to wear many white
cambria and lawn shirt waists after Easter,
rather giving them the preference over the
colored Bingham variety. Crisp white
French cambria blouses, having the whole
sleeves and body laid In what are called
lingerie tucks, is one popular figure, and the
fronts OF all shirts blouse Just a little. An
other ~favorite species turns back small
revers over the bust from a dickey that is
finely tucked or is OF plain white laundered
linen and these white shirts are allowed
considerable eccentricity OF sleeves. The
stif cuff is replaced by one shaped to fail
over the hand and tucked shoulder capes are
not uncommon.
In the colored goods the most expensive
shirts have their white collars made of a
piece with the aeckband and the collar rolls
over In a continuous narrow round. or a
series OF pretty leaf-like scallops as often as
not. Less expensive Bingham waists are
made wisely with as many as three de-
tachsble collars. One a high white choker.

roadside a pile OF WORKOUT railroad ties.
Her natural interest in wood prompted her
to go over and examine them. She found
that they were perfectly sound and whole
except those portions where spikes had
been driven. This set her to thinking. She
interviewed some railroad companies and
found that they were obliged to constantly
renew these ties for no other reason than
that they became worn around the spikes
and were thus loosened. They were then
regarded as useless and burned. Mrs.
Morley had a wagon load Of these discarded
ties sent up to her factory, and proceeded
to have some hard wood plugs made OF a
size to be driven into these holes. BY
then driving a spike through the plug she
found that the tie held exactly as well as
when new.
She called the attention Of a railroad COM
pany to the fact, and persuaded 1t to
make a trial use Of the repaired ties. The
results were entirely satisfactory, and the
road, quick to see what a tremendous saw.
ing this would be, began ordering plugs in
large quantities. Other roads followed their
example, and Mrs. Morley is now manu-
featuring hard wood plugs by the millions,
and is utterly unable, to keep up with her
orders. 1t goes without saying that the
business pays her a fine dividend.

BISHOP POTTER.s MESSAGE.
Pointed Views ON the True Mission
of Women.

Pointed Views on the True Mission
of Women.
"Wifehood, motherhood, sisterhood. the
ministry OF sympathy and love, these are
woman's sphere" said Bishop Potter In
answer to a question concerning his con-
yictions with regard to wOman's highest
calling.
THE details of the problem as it affects
the various duties of life" he went on,
embrace every possible subject, and alone
would fill volumes, but the heart of the
matter can be given in a word, the main
spring can be felt at a touch.
81 am glad that a great multitude OF
callings, formerly exercised only by men. are
now open to women. Indeed, 1t would in
these days be a solemn impertinence to bid
women teach and sew only, when there are
fifty teachers and fifty seamstresses for
every vacancy in these professions. The
modern conditions Of life demand that she
shall follow other callings. and she can do
so with dignity and nobility. II she forget
not that her sphere Is evor the ministry or
sympathy and love.

mechanic might be contrived WHEREBY IN

f~aultless accuracy. The cure could not be
nerfected. for the essentials would be JACK
ing. the ministration of womanly love ana
tenderness. This, whatever profession she
NAV follow. Is woman's divinest calling.
"The position of woman today throughout
the civilized world is the result or a reac-
ton from the oriental conception OF her as
a chattel or a toy. With the beginning OF
the Christian era the first step was JAKE"
toward the emancipation of women. ohrlst
and uis apostles recognized their gifts ana
emancipated them. The Deaconess Phoebe
of Cenchreae was a type. All women nave

q danger: As Christian civilization mas WIZ
ened. and as it has been touched by Anglo
Saxon ideas which involve the essential
eouality of all human beings before God,
woman has stepped out Of her old and mar
rover srrere. The peril is lest she should
forsake it. too largely, for her sphere Is
wifehood. motherhood, sisterhood, the min
istry Of sympathy and love.
"To some women these ministries in their
more sacred form are denied by modern
conditions, and there is a tendency when
ought to be frankly owned to disestecm 40
mestic cares and duties. 1t is on that SIDE
that we need watchfulness. ! hope that
woman will never forget that The divinest
calling for her is the life and ministry or
the home. In the sanctity OF the home rests
the building OF character, the safety or the
state, the triumph Of righteousness. Many

In both Miss Harraden's previous Cali
fornia stories-''The Remittance Man and
"Hilda Strafford''-the characters were so
faithfully portrayed from actual life that the
persons concerned Instantly recognized them
selves and were as easily recognized by
others.
In the former short story the scene was
laid at a place called Witch Creek, an
English colony about fifty miles back from
San Diego, and of which the hero, If such
he may be called, was a certain young
rancher, John Lane by name, who wrath
fully declared that Of whatever villainies
Miss Harraden might have though him guilty

Mrs. Wilder's Big Cotton Plantation

Leila Seton Wilder is the name of an Ala

luster to the fame of the women OF the

Between crops Mrs. Wilder frequently Wis

Decatur, and is the largest woman landed

Mason and Dixon line. Instead of confd-

ease, Mrs. Wilder is her own superintendent
and overseer, and has made such a success
of it that the men OF the state recognize her
as a very shrewd business woman. Mrs.
Wilder Is a unique figure. She belongs to
one of the oldest families in the country, of
which Mgr. Seton of New Jersey is a con-

WOMAN's ODD BUSINESS.
M"king a Fortune by Repairing Old
Railroad Ties,

The recent agitation In the west as 10
ousting women from the business world
seems rather ~farcical in view of the posi-
lions that m by sheer force of their
own intelligent efforts are making for
themselves all along the line. A fns ex-
ample Of what one woman's ingenuity and
business acumen has accomplished came to
my ears only the other day.
Upon the death, some years ago, Of Mrs,
clara Morley's f~ather-one OF the many
manufacturers OF Grand Rapids-his affairs
were found to be in such a state that the
concern had to go into the hands OF a re-
ceiver. Mrs. Morley, who up to this time
had had no connection with the business.
entered the factory with the determination
OF mastering every detail from glued stock"
10 double entry. 1t was not long before she
had the business in her own hands. and
but a little longer before she began to win
the respect OF every business man In her
especial line the country over.
Almost from the start she left little OF the
management to assistants. but made a point
OF personally seeing the business men with
whom she had dealings. During one of her
many trips she CHANGED TO see lying by the

her wintors-a d~esolate, arid spot. In the
midst OF a really beautiful country, within
sixteen miles Of San Diego. This was per-
haps the reason why the local scenery and
general life on a California ranch were
painted In such gloomy colors.
Among the characters in this story the old
ranchwoman who was portrayed as spying
out her workmen through a telescope was
at once recognized-a distinction which was
not appreciated, for the woman in question
threatened to take personal vengeance with
her broom upon the author IL the latter
ever placed her foot on the ranch again.
Apart from several technical errors in the
book, peculiar to the locality, the ~illustra-
lions were evidently the work OF an artist
unfamiliar with the customs of California,
otherwise he would not have depicted the
unheroic hero seated at his fireside booted
and spurred. Spurs are invariably left on
the porch in California. 1t is a surviving
custom Of old Mexican days.
1t is well known that Miss Harraden is a
cells Of some ability, but not so well known,
perhaps, that she is subject to what she
terms spells of the muse, and which she
is so under the necessity OF Immediately
gratifying, that upon one occasion when
spending the day with a lady friend in San
Diego, being seized by one OF these SPELLS
nothing would suffice but that they at once
set out and drive round the town to pro-
cure one of her beloved instruments. At
last, succeeding in their quest, Miss Harra-
den returned 10 the house and spent two or
three hours INDUCING her humor to its full
extent.
1t would seem that in one instance at
least Miss Harraden's love for music was
extended into a personal admiration for the
musician, as during a certain visit of the late
Edouard RsmenYi- whose tragic dalth on lie

Of the revenue in 1896.
Possibly some of Mrs. Wilder's love Of
politics comes from the old adherents OF
Queen Mary, for her home on the Decatur
plantation Is a rendezvous, and Mrs. Wilder
a favorite house party hostess OF national
and state politicians. and the woman planter
is not without that political influence so
dear to the soul of the true southern
woman as she Yields 1t in drawing room
and across the dinner table. Mrs. Wilder
persistently declines to enter clubdom or
champion woman suffrage. "All the politi-
cal power l want" she often says. lis that
which my men friends will exercise for me.
and it's a heap more fun than those western
women have who run for office and go to
legislatures. l can always find two or three
men to vote my way for me-
Mrs. Wilder has just now a big scheme on
her mind to increase the coast line of her
state. She has written a resolution, which
will be introduced in the legislature, now
in session, advocating the purchase from
Florida of that part Of the state now sep
arating Alabama from the gulf, including
Pensacola.
Among Mrs. Wilder's possessions Is the old
bank in Decatur, under which she hopes
some time to discover a buried treasure. The
bank was built in 1882 for a state bank.
During the civil war 1t was used both as a
hospital and fort, and was one of the five
buildings left standing at the close of the
struggle. Several years ago an old soldier
wrote to Mrs. Wilder saying that he knew
OF a large sun of money being hidden in
the bank. but he was too poor to come to
show where it was unless his fare was paid.
1t was too improbable a story to notice, but
later Mrs. Wilder's brother-in-law who
was in the war. said that while camped at
Decatur he heard money was buried in the

Long lace sleeves are still worn in evening
gowns, but the elbow sleeve is more and
more favored as the season advances. House
gowns and theater waists are fitted with this
sort of sleeve and dressy evening gowns as
well. Sometimes 1t is a single loose puff
