Bits of Femininity.

Velvet trimmed paplins in blues,
browns and beige tones are very
smart.
Ermine and dark mink is the
latest combination affected by the
furriers.
White silk waists, tucked and elab.
orately stitched in colors, are a new
departure.
White felt hats, trimmed with black
ostrich plumes, are considered i'm
mensely swagger
Black satin frocks with trimmings
Of steel and jet are considered very
smart for evening.
e All house gowns have a decided
train, and the trains of evening frocks
are very, very long.
The butterfly motif, enters into all
the latest creations and has complete
ly supplanted the bow knot.
Long fur box coats are creeping
back into fashion. They are of mink,
fastened with cut gold, bronze or steel
buttons.
Medallions worn on a heavy chain
about the neck and suspended about
six inches below the collar are en- old
fashion revived in Paris.
One OF the latest whims is black
cloth gown made with o bright rose
red underskirt, showing at least five
or six inches around the feet.
An Elton jacket, with long stole fronts,
built of white astrakhan, and lined
with white satin, is particularly chic
to wear with handsome velvet skirts.

nna NYnmnn.n Gnnd NEnrI,

1t is not much over twenty years
since retired San Francisco teacher
named Miss Austin conceived the idea
that she could make the then barren
plains Of Fresno blossom like a rose
and bear fruit abundantly. Under the
inspiration of that belief she began tho
cultivation and curing Of the raisin
grape. AS a direct result Of the ef-
forts Of that one woman Fresno coun-
ty this year has proflted in one indus
try alone to the extent Of S1,O00,O0O,
which is reported TO be the value OF
the seasons raisin-curing there. Al
most all Of the other Industries which
have since been developed in Fresno
county have been the indirect out
growth of the successful experiments
made by Miss Austin in raisin-malling.
One of the latest developments is the
proposed construction there Of fruit
cannery to be the largest in the state
and to serve as a substitute for the
one now existing, which gives employ
ment to GOO persons during the
frult-canning season.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

The Girl of Tn.DnY.


One Of the most remarkable social
developments of these latter days is
the evolution OF the mature heroine Of
romance. Formerly this post was
allotted to the young girl or the young
married woman. In those times,
moreover, the adjective of youth would
not have been applied to the maiden
who had passed her twenty-ifth year,
and only in the spirit of the grossest
hattery to the matron who had seen
her three decades. 1t stypical Of the
age that this explanatory note should
be necessary. Now the expression
young" is purelyrelative. The period
of middle age has been entirely abol-
ished. Where almost everybody is
younger than somebody else, it is only
the few who are proud of their ex-
treme antiquity who can be regarded
with any degree of certainty as old.
At thirty the girl of to-day no longer
retires on the shelf as failure to pass
the rest of her life in the humiliating
position of the maiden aunt, who de-
votes herself to the children or re-
yenges herself on the poor. She is
merely preparing to start on new
phase OF life with a more definite plan
and a clearer vision. Very often she
marries and begins afresh at forty.
Sometimes she has been known to be
so greatly daring as to enter on matri-
mouy for the first time when she has
passed her fiftieth year. For the matron
the @range is even more extended. At
thirty she is quite a young thing
gay, frivolous, skittish, to whom So
ciety and Irritation are the chief OBJ
iects in life. Ten years more bring
her to her prime. 1t is the period of
fascination, or adventure, of impulse.
The woman of forty is capable of any
thing. She is the object of the widest
plans, the center of the most daring
romance. At fifty she is probably
marrying for the second time. Three
score will find her approaching the
altar for her third wedding, and if
she lives long enough, she may even
reappear at later date to bring her
record up to four. London World.

Peril, OF the Long skirt.

In the course of public discussion
on womens dress at Berlin the other
day Prof. Rubner condemned the long
skirt as a frequent cause of accidents
and as a promoter of neuralgia pains
which we're brought on by constantly
holding up the dress. Prof. Brock
mueller, the artist, while not denying
the gracefulness in general Of trains
pointed out that in any quick move
ment the effect was the reverse of
graceful and recommended short
dresses, especially at dances. Nine.
Seller advocated the short skirts be-
cause it was unworthy of women to
yield to a fashion which made the
wearer a slave to her garments, and
because the short skirts made those
who wore them look younger. In the
end the meeting resolved by a large
majority that long walking dresses are
irreconciliable with the modern ac-
quirements Of hygiene, liberty of move
ment and beauty - London Daily
News.

An rrrntinn FInrsr SHOW.

Under the patronage of the khedive

at Ghezireh, Cairo, on March 30 and 81
and April 1, 1900, at which Americana

The Girl's Ambitions.

"Many girls will have noticed, am
sure, that as our lives advance our
ambitions are apt to become more
simply" writes Helen Spencer in the
Ladies Home journal. 'The great
plans we had as girls of thirteen or
fourteen settle gradually into simpler
ambitions. We learn gradually to
know that in smaller duties better
fitted to our hands lies the greatest
happiness, and the possibility for
fullest and richest development. AL
most every girl when she first begins
TO realize that she will probably never
fulfill all her girlish ambitions be-
cause they are many of them beyond
her possibilities, will have the inclina-
tion to give up, as the children say.
This is apt to be the beginning of real
discomfort, ana it ought to be battled
with. Let girl once try to fully
realize what it means to be the in
spiration of some one persons life,
the sunshine in the darkened lives of
some one or two people, and she will
then understand how it may fill her
life almost to the brim with happi-
ness"

"roolrng," or Book Cover Work.

Women have for a considerable per-
iod enjoyed the reputation of being
skilful bookbinders, and now they are
doing excellent work in the delicate
decoration known as "tooling." As
this is comparatively new field of
activity for women, it will probably
attract many who are now debating
which of the many occupations al
ready overcrowded they will choose
as their vocation.
"Tooling" is the work OF making
the line decorations on book covers, to
which that style of decoration is ap-
piled, and is done in the form Of a
plain impression, or the lines marked
in gold or silver. AS the art requires
great skill and delicacy of touch, it is
especially adapted to women.

A WNIauicure Tea -

The latest advices from Paris tell OF
manicure tea given by a popular
society woman. For something new
in the line of teas society should, no
doubt, be grateful, as almost anything
would be a relief after pink, yellow
and blue teas, and manicure tea"
is rather a radical departure. But
what vista of entertainments this
opens up--shampoo suppers, pedicure

Yomon WHO Walk well.

There is nothing more rare or beau
tiful to behold than the woman who
walks well. One very simple rule
about standing is to elevate the chest
and carry it just over the toes. Then,
with head erect and by remembering
to strike the ball of the foot first, in
stead of the heel, a graceful carriage
will be accomplished.
