SKETCRING " MOSCOW.

Miss Helen James has the distinction of being the
only woman ever allowed to make sketches in the
streets Of Moscow. For the official permit she
paid a sum equal to about Is cents and was fur
nished with lengthy document which was
signed, sealed and countersigned. Wherever she
began 10 sketch policeman was stationed be-
hind her chair to prevent crowds from assem-
bling.

after she had seen the Kremlrn and the many

WOMEN AND SHOPPING.
"ALL SORTS AND CONDITIONS" TO BE
MET WITH IN DAYS SAUNlCER
THROUGH THE STORES

Some persons think shopping is a delightful oc-
cupation To others 1t is a synonyme for intense
weariness both of spirit and flesh.
"Win you come shopping with me to-day"' is
an invitation that may be given as a favor, and
accepted with alacrity with groans of dread. as
the case may be.
There are several varieties Of shoppers. There
is the woman who loves shopping for the sake Of
the shops and their displays. She rarely buys.
Then there is the other woman who loves to buy
things just for the sake of spending money; II
does not matter whether the goods purC chased are
for herself not, long she can buy pretty
things.
Another woman avoids the shops saying: Il
never go into the shopping districts until 1 am
forced to. I buy everything I by mail
simply detest the jOstltng and the waiting, both
to be served and for change"
The last shopper is the woman who her
livelihood thereby in purchasing for persons living
of town.

sake, she approaches the richly laden

See that exquisite satin, of a soft shell pink
tone. Already she sees herself arrayed in It.
She knows how it shall be made-low in the neck,

eyes as she dreary watches the fabric.

The amiable shopman reaches up with alacrity

other while he calls in the aid Of brother of the
counter to decpher the hferoglyphic and then he
is able to inform her.
"Only 81 a yard and wonderfully reasonab ble

He unros it. and with nimble fingers exhibits

it and looks If he scarcely likes to part with IL
lie Is an enthusiast at his profession, and SEEM
ingly convnces each customer that every piece of
stun he fingers is the newest most elegant and,
at the time the best value for the money
that is to be found anywhere in the city
The woman, with longing eyes and hands caress-
ing the satin that is beyond her purse says regret
fully: 1t is beautiful enchanting but l am sorry
1t is so dear 1t is much dearer than / wanted
Have you the same thing. only cheaper?"
He repTesses all in his as he tells per
ut wouldn't be the thing If it were cheaper
whereupon she reluctantly turns her head from the
fascinating fabric and strolls along TO the next
shop and victim.
The dread of the salesman Is the sample coffee
tor. In most shops it Is made n rule not to give
samples after 10 a m, but this seldom daunts the
collector. and she will resort al kinds of fuses
which generally succeed. too Her favorlte form Of
pleading is. Cant you possibly cut scrap :or me
of Of that green goods? I want TO send 1t to a
friend of mine out Of town; or, Please give me a
bit Of that trimming I've got TO catch a train"
etc.
Any who, for whatever reason. frequently
makes a tour Of the shops, hearing and observing
cannot fail to become possessed of the idea that
the high class shopman is actually the embodiment
OF all the ehiyalry which crowned the flower OF
knighthood In the days of King Arthur. The sales
man says that there is great deal of difference in
customers. Some of them give q great deal of
trouble, but then, that is all in the days work

The salesman is all apt reader of human nature

EDUCATING THE RED MAN.
WORK OF MISS ESTELLE REEF. SU-
PERINTENDENT OF INDIAN
SCHOOLS

The one Federal appointment given to a woman
by this Administration was that OF Superintendent
Of Indian Schools for the United States an office
of great opportunity and broad scope For two
years Miss Estelle Reel, OF Wyoming has admin
istered 1t in manner which reflects credit all
womanknd. Her work is of a most interesting
nature, and the many innovations In methods of
education instituted by her have already resulted
in marked improvement in the educational
qurements of the Indians all over the country.
She has made Industrial training in the schools
under her charge the most important feature of
the work Of educating the Indian youth. She be-
lieves in giving the Indian children thorough
training in the fundamental English branches.
but the time spent in the modern system of public
schools in acquiring ornamental studies is, In the
Indian school service. under her guidance, devoted
to teaching the young Indian how to work and in
nculcating in his brain respect for the

paint and feathers, resent this breaking up Of the
tribal customs.
One of the most difficult problems In the Indian
work is how to improve the mothers. The Indian
father goes to the nearest town and trades with
the storekeeper, and comes in contact with the
Wnlte mans civilization much frequently
than the Indian mother. She is shy and nervous,
and much more opposed, a rJle. 70 allowing
her children 10 accept the white mans education
than Is her spouse. An Indian mother is certainly
a hard problem, but the field matrOn is constantly
urged by Miss Reel TO visit every Indian family
and by kindness and sympathy to win the heart
of the Indian mother. When you have once won
an Indians confidence you do wonders with
him
Miss Reel firmly believes In increasing the num-
Der Of field matrons and women superntendents
OF tribe schools, and in this effort has the
dial cooperation of the Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs, who appreciates the fact that women

In Chicago next week topic VIII pe nearer TO
the hearts of the delegates than that Of the only
National Woman's Relief Corps Home, which 1s
situated near Lake Ere's banks in this little town
Here some sixty aged women are enjoying al the
comforts of home Among the NUMBER are eighteen
octogenarians. Some blind and inflrm' Many
of them are heroines who have seen the thick Of
battle or who have dashed through picket lines to
carry important messages. few We're spies in
the Civil War Still others bandaged the wounds
of the soldier boys in improvsed hospitals
The average number of visitors 70 the Home each
year Is about thousand.
The main building is of brick and is three stories
high. The capacity of the institution is augmented
by two small frame buildings one TO the east and
tho other to the west of the brick edihce One OF
these is named in honor of Mrs Anna Witten-
meyer the founder Of the institution, whose death
has been recorded since the last National meeting
of the Woman's Relief Corps. She was q speaker,
author and a benefactor. The Wttten-
meyer cottage contains number of beautiful
rooms just prettily arranged and furnished

the west is the hospital.
The main building is known the Ohio Cottage.
This is cut in the stone over the front
trance. This building erected by the State Of
Ohio in 1891. The entire institution is supported by
a per capita tax each member of the Womans
Relief Corps in the United States. In the main
building are numerous rooms which bear the
names Of different States of the Union. Each
room has been furnished by the State for which It
is named.
Delegations from many different States came to
the Home each year to spend the day and picnic
with the old women. The large lawn in front OF the
three buildings furnishes ample room for the larg
est gatherings. In this connection the story of
how the Home got its hennery is OF interest. On
certain day, about three years ago, IT decided
by the members Of several Relief corps in North
eastern Ohio that they should attend and each
corps bring chicken. This they did on the ap-
pointed day, and ninety corps were represented.
