New Chateiain. Of Gold.

Dame Fashion is playing a variation
on an old theme by which her follow
ers receive something new and hear
it, too, for the chatelaine, only one OF
which there is yet in New York City,
tinkles as with the sound of gold when.
ever the wearer moves. The new
chatelaine resembles the old one only
in that the ornaments are hung from
chains. After that il is q thing apart.
To begin with, it is worn from the left
wrist, and not from the waist.
Though later they probably will be
seen in silver. the first of its kind is
gold and begins with a heavy link
bracelet large enough to slip over the
hand. On it is fastened with an extra
link, so that it is not rigid, a fine gold
bar swung crosswise and about an
inch long. On this are fastened the
chains, four in number.
The chains are five inches long. A
tiny bon bon box. a mirror and link
purse are suspended from three and
from the fourth is a monocle. The
chatelaine monocle ia set in a narrow
gold rim and has a ine two.inch han.
die.
To the casual observer there seems
TO he no good reason Why the whole
thing should not slip OF the wearer's
wrist and fall upon every possible &c.
cssion. Certainly the weight is suffi
cient to make her hand hang Imply.
To use the monocle attached il equally
uncomfortable, for il means support
ing the weight Of the entire thing on
the wrist uplifted, aud If the move.
ment is accompanied by a clanking
sound which recalls the cows coming
home from pasture the wearer can
afford to be ob!ivious, for the chate.
laine is gold and the only one Of its
kind.
Whether or not the mouocle will be
adopted here remains 70 be seen. Ia
Paris every fashionable yoman is wear
ing one, using II upon all occasions,

Mind WORK For women.

The independent woman who finds
herself with ample leisure might do
worse thaa follow the example of the
Russian women. The women Of
4 nation whom We look upon as semi
barbarians all have some hobby over
which they become enthusiastic, but
theirs is not the passing fancy of a
season or al hour. To it they devote
hours of serious study. Far more
often than not it is some branch OF
science that admits of no half-hearted
worship to which they have dedicated
their leisure, and many of them, hav-
ing taken up the pursuit as a pas
time, finally allow it to become the
absorbing interest of q lifetime.
Sonia Koyalegski, that marvellous
mathematician, was type of such
women, and the one probably most
widely known in this country, though
she was by no means an excep-
tion among the middle classes Of
that great country. That the ordi-
nary reader is in this country ap-
preaching this is evidenced by the
open shelf system now being used in
The New York free circulating library,
whose Librarians say that to many
people it is q revelation how many
girls now go away with some book of
science tucked under their arms who
formerly would have asked for a novel

why Women Are Not tnfoney-Makers.

why women Are Not Money-Makers.
In the first place, woman is entirely
too impulsive for business. She sails
gayly into the world OF commerce, be.
lieving in everything, and III herself
most of all A certain stock may be
increased temporarily in value, owing
to the enterprise of it's owners, who
are themselves advancing the market.
The woman speculator, with her usual
impetuosity, thinks: 81 must have
some Of that. If il is this high I can
sell it for more. She does not stop
to look over the market; she has not
trained her judgment, but with both
hands outstretched, offering her little
all, she plunges headlong into the
grasp of cunning spectators. The
next day-or the next hour perhaps
the stock falls in value. She is Just
the prey the sharpers are looking for.
If you must speculate, my dear
woman, know something of what you
are buying before you commit your
self. II a man is very anxious to sell
you something, go out yourself and
see if you have any difficulty in dis
posing of your prospective purchase
before you close the transaction. The
seller may simply be trying to turn off
some worthless stock on your hands.
More money is made in the end by an
over-supply of caution than by indis.
criminate recklessness. BE very sure
that you are right first, then go
ahead, and don't be scared. You will
make mistakes, Of course. Regard
them as lessons-as money well in
vested in danger signals. -Hetty
Green, in Harper's Bazaar.
