Miss Maude T. ParkerD

went West to Galena, ILL.,. the home of
Gen. Ulysses s. Grant, where he struck
up quite Il friendship with the great
leader. Here the young chief was in
duced to study law.
For some two years he did what no
Indian ever did before-pored over
the dry and endless tones of the Eng
lish common law. He applied for adj
mission to the bar, and the saving
grace of common sense and equity was
not as prevalent in the bar as it hap
PLY is to-day, and the youthful brave
was refused admission.
Then came the war, and with it an
appointment on the staff of the silent
captain" from President Lincoln. Dur
ing the entire conflict DonehOgawa
served with credit to his race and the
high trust imposed in him by the Pres
ident and his chief, Gen. Grant. Apro-
| pos of his record in the war, it is per-
haps enough to say that he retired
from Uncle Sans service at its close
as Gen" Parker.
As Indian Commissioner under
Grant, Gen. Parker proved gratifying
success, and incidentally proved the
worth of the intellectual mettle of the
red man.
He died in New York some four years
ago, leaving the impress of his char
acter in somewhat indelible lines on
| the contemporary charts.
Miss Parker's education was received
in private schools in New York. She
| finished in the fashionable seminary
Of st. Mary's in 1895. 1t was while at
tending this exclusive institution that
she made the acquaintance of Miss
Wilkinson. the young woman who gave
the party in her honor recently. Her
mother was a Miss Minnie Sackett, a
member of one of the first families of
Washington where she was woOed and
won by the late General.
In personal appearance one would
certainly be forced to look twice to
catch the unquestionably characters
tics of the Indian in her form and
esua4eaaRca. Perhaps the Characters
tic which suggests her interesting
origin the most is the queenly grace of
her carriage and movements. 1t is the
grace not Of the schools or the gym
nasium, but such as might come fresh
from the woods and nature.
She has all the quick huhbling vivac-
ity of her paternal line, full of life and
freedom and health. She can swim
and dive like one Of natures children,
while all the popular pastimes of the
up-to-date society girl each find in her
warm enthusiasm. She, of course,
plays golf. and is exceptionally clever
at this particular form of killing time.

The "Aunt, Was Mythical.

Good morning, madam. My aunt,
Mrs. -- sent me over to borrow a
dollar. She wants to pay her egg man,
but is unable to make the change. She
buys eggs of farmer, you know.
They are so much fresher than store
eggs, even If you do have to pay
little more.
"My aunt sent me here because, as
she says, you are so generous about
doing small favors. l told her you
would not know me, and l hated to
come, for l am seldom in town, but
she said 1t would be all right-just to
mention her name. You are such a
good kind friend and always willing
to oblige.
Yes, thank you, dollar was what
she wanted. She will return it at
once, and you are so kind"
This prettily worded speech has been
going the rounds in Evanston, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Nearly every wu-
man in town has played the aunt and
as many again in the kind neighbor
lady. The nephew has in every case
been the same dapper young man of
twenty-five years, who paid pretty
compliments in soft, rich voice, and
looked altogether trustworthy. So.
too, he might have been had he not
Immediately forgotten his aunty and
the good kind lady with the dollar
jingling in his pocket. And no one
would have been the wiser had not the
neighbor, in moment of wondering.

ually If the aunt bought eggs by the

frage to woman at this period of her
life
"Outside of having located the basic
cause of woman's dependence, it will
at once be seen that the only solution
possible for her corplete emancipation
and mental and physical development
is to render her, through industrial
freedom. so economically independent
in every way Of mans grudging bounty
that she will scorn his pity. resent his
abuse and claim her right to fullest
individuality and opportunity as a hui
man being. The mists are lifting, the
dawn is breaking, The new woman is
here, not as theory, but as n fact.
I'm the domain of economies the new
woman has evolved when social condi-
tons presented the opportunity by
which she might achieve independence.
This is the hope we waited for when
courage else had died. Borne on the
morning tide we hear the notes of an
gel choir the tones of raptured throng

love the world hath hungered long"

The most important part of wearing
any kind of garment is to become it.
That is what two girls learned last
summer Their summer wardrobes
were complete and the summer was
coming well to an end, when they hap
pened one day to discover some of the
most charming of outing hats. They
were of a coarse straw, but Of the soft
est most flexible weave that could be
imagined with a hat which still had
considerable body They had quaint
high crowns. with wide brims. and
there was a band of silver lace around
each crown and around the edge They
were 50 pretty and they weren't eXpen-
sive. Only Sl5O and they were real
Mexican hats. The only trouble was
that neither girl had the slightest use
for such a hat. one never wore hat
az all when she could help it. and the
other was devoted to the sunhonnet.
Just how it was they never knew. but
in some way they resisted the tempta-
ton, and neither bought a hat. They
were glad of il later for two Oh wom-
en- who saw those hats also admired
them, and they bought them. wore
them and looked ugly and common
place in them. They spoiled the hats,
and two happy girls. seeing that. re-
ioiced that they had resisted tempta-
ton.

MARY ELLEN LEASE.
Her Idea of New Womanhood and in

| Mrs. Mary E. Lease, who is in many
\ respects the most remarkable women
/ of the century the most eloquent as q
| platform speaker, the most courageous
| and one OF the most vesatile, has this
/ to say about the new women:
In this period OF human develop
ment the phrase new woman has be-
I come strangely familiar, and to that
person whose hand is not steady
enough TO feel the throbbing pulSe OF
the times. TO that person whose mind
is not clear enough to catch the first
glimpses of the respondent dawn. the
phrase has become a cant expression
associated in some ways with some
nondescript preacher, half man. half
woman. who. bold. defiant. tramples
ancient usage under foot and tries TO
overthrow or improve existing distaste-
full conditions by material or intellec-
tual force. always masculine in its ten
dency or nature.
"Such a conception Of the new woman,
such an Interpretation of her mission
is indeed erroneous. and could only
come to US hidden under the trailing
robes Of superstition and ignorance,
which is orr heritage from the past.
New occasions teach new duties. time
makes ancient good uncouth. We must
upward still and onward who would
keep abreast Of truth. To-day. as never
before. new occasions and new condi-
tons confront Us. conditions so abso-
lutely new that all the intelligence. the
wisdom and integrity of the hnnr are
demanded To meet the requirements
which they impose.
"The new woman is here, not as the
result Of more advanced civilization,
but more advanced a truer and high
er civilization is dawning because the
new woman is here. She Is at once
result and n cause. Women's part in
the stupcndouS economy of nature Is,
first and djstinctivelv. most important,
that of motherhood She can only pay
her debt to nature. fulfill her mission
in the world and discharge her obliga-
tons to humanity by faithfully dis
charging the duties Of motherhood. But

To Curl Feathers,

1t would pay the average woman to
buy a curling knife and learn to curl
her feathers at home. They require IL
often when it is impossible to send
them to professional curler. The
knives are cheap, and may be found in
most hardware stores. Hold the feath.
or over kettle of boiling water,
spreading ont with both hands the
flues TO their full length. Let it become
damp but not too wet; then wave gen
tly from side to side until partially dry.
