The Latest Note Paper.

Tinted note paper is again in fashion.
More than this the smartest papetrie
is deliberately decorated, and the quail
ty of the paper itself has been radical
ly changed for the autumn-winter
trade. Cadet gray, French blue, Yale
blue and gray green papers, that have
always been popular, as we'll as the
bank note, cream laid, kid and linen
finishes, are all quite out of the run
ming today. The correspondence sup
plies now come in pastel or the deeper
autumn tones, having cartridge and
burlaps finish.
The pastel tinted sheets are cut quite
small indeed. 1t Is an evidence of
good taste just now to use small sized
paper for letters as well as notes, and
all the stamping is done in very small
script or old English lettering. Furi-
ously as the black letter fashion ragged,
1t has with unexpected suddenness
been dropped from general use, and it
is prevailing notion to have the ad-
dress stamped across the upper corners
of the sheets and at the left hand side.
The dating must be given at the con-
clusion of the missive, and monograms
and crests are rarely or never seen on
anything but engraved invitations.

Small Industries For Women.

Two cases that have recently come
under the writer's notice would seem
to emphasize the statement that the
making of homemade bread, cake and
pastry offers a profitable occupation
outside that part of the field that is
covered by the women's exchanges. In
one of the cases referred to young
girl living in a suburban town and
known to make excellent bread for her
own famlly's use was asked by a
neighbor to include for her an extra
loaf or two in every baking. Other
neighbors heard of and duplicated this
arrangement From this modest be-
ginning the friendly service grew to a
business. The village is one much fire.
quented in summer by wealthy New
Workers, and from May to November
the youthful baker has difficulty In
filling her orders for bread and rolls
even by working from 6 a. m. often till
nearly midnight. Her custom has made
necessary the replacement of the fam
lily cook stove with a fine new range,
In whose ovens 16 loaves of bread
may be baked at once. The second case
is in certain neighborhood of this
city. Dwellers in the locality noticed,
a little over year ago sign on the
basement door of a modest home in the
quarter announcing the sale every Sat
urday Of homemade cakes and pies
One after another the housekeepers in
the vicinity made a trial of the wares,
found them excellent, and the business
has grown from a weekly to a daily in
dustry. The goods are delivered in
neat boxes. Certain specialties, such
as soft gingerbread and raised biscuit
are provided on certain days of the
week. Undoubtedly there are other
suburban towns and more city neigh
borhoods where the service could be
introduced to the mutual profit of sup
plier and consumer.-New York Even

Barrie's Strange Theory.

A very strange theory is propounded
in Mr.. J. NJ. Barrie's new play. 1t is
one of which those who hold the rights
of women to be sacred will rightly dis
approve, and assuredly the balance Of
justice does not seem to be very evenly
held between men and women in this
new dramatic problem, but the author
would have us believe that the story
he has set forth Is not merely made
for the stage, but is one of everyday
life, and as such we are asked to ac-
cept his solution of the problem pro-
pounded as the best in the circum-
stances. Woman, it needs not to be
said is always forgiving and generous
to the opposite sex, but why should a
play be written to show that to save
one man from the unhappiness which
his own sin brings upon him two
women must sacrifice themselves? The
life of a pure and innocent girl must
be clouded, the life of the "other
woman" must be wrecked, because If
either or both treated according to his
deserts the despicable creature who
has deceived wife and victim alike the
punishment would be greater, we are
asked to believe, than the sin war
rants! Again, it is suggested in this
production that woman had far better
marry rake than risk spinsterhood,
and indeed the character through
whom this theory is propounded is
even made to say that rather than lose
the joys of wifehood and maternity a
woman should close her eyes to the
fact that her lover has wrecked an
other woman's honor, and, maybe,
broken her heart. Surely 1t is as un-
just to the noble band of spinsters to
accept such theory as 1t is degrading
to the honorable estate of matrimony.

CfviIity Is Good Capital,

Look at the army of statesmen and
saleswomen In our stores. There is
not, | believe, as capable or honest a
corps of workers In the world. Yet a
French or English shopgirl will sell
twice as many goods in the same time,
and the customer will come again and
again to be served by the same woman.
Why? Because she is civil and courte-
Gus.
There is something pitiful as well as
ridiculous in the Indifference, the hau-
teur, the actual rudeness of many of
the intelligent young men and women
behind our counters. Yet civility Is
their capital. By selling gloves or tin
ware they earn their living, and the
more civil they are the more they sell.
Most of my readers know a few sales
women who have remained in some of
the old business houses until an hon
ored old age and by their ability and
courtesy have made for themselves
hosts of friends. 1t is pity that these
foolish young people could not learn
their business from them.-An Ameri-
can Mother in Ladies' Home Journal.

Poems In SILK,

For some years Japan has inundated
the markets Of the world with her
squares of stuff called foukousas,
which are used to wrap up the presents
sent to friends in that country, and
Europeans have not hesitated to make
of them brilliant ornamental designs
for modern furniture. In cushions,
screens, etc, they introduce q charm
ing freshness; n flight of birds,
swarm of butterflies amid brilliant
flowers, giving the eye vague dream
of cheerful light, of fancies and sum
mers that have no end.
But words can only family evoke an
idea of what these poems in silk really
are. 1t sometimes takes ten years to
finish one of these pictures. 1t makes
one think of the embroideries of the
kings House" in days of old, who
styled themselves "embroiderers and
painters" 1t is the same obscure and
anonymous labor as that of the arti-
sans of the middle ages, who have be-
queathed to posterity marvellous litur-
gical embrolderies and sublime cathe-
drals.
One would really say that embroid-
cry had revived in the country of its
origin, Asia. But instead of returning
to the land of its cradle 1t has followed
the general evolution toward the north
and taken refuge in Japan. No matter
where these silks are placed, they are
n delight to the eye, a symphony in
iVN
modern art furniture harmonizes splen-
didly with the mural hangings of an
art so intense and so new.-Exchange

Women mt the Polls.

The fact that there was fighting on
election day among the men of Den
yer is promptly seized upon by eastern
papers as an argument against letting
women vote. The Boston Herald says:
1--WE do not mean that disturbances
would not have occurred In Colorado If
the men only had been permitted to
vote, but it is clear that the partici-
pancy of the women in political mat
ters has not produced that ameliora-
tion of partisan asperity which it Is
sometimes assumed would follow"
To judge of this, we must know
what the political conditions were in
Colorado before women voted. Con-
gresham Shafroth, in public address
delivered in Washington about two
years ago, said: 81 have seen the time
when a political convention without
disturbance and the drawing of weap-
ons was rare. That time is past in
Colorado, and it is due to the presence

from being debarred from the univer
sity for another year.

For Winter Furs.

Prudent women are now having their
winter furs put in order. Provident
women can cleanse their furs at home
by applying bran to them. The bran
should be heated in an oven, and when
quite hot 1t should be rubbed well into
the fur with a piece of flannel. After
it has remained in the fur for several
hours the garment should be thorough
ly shaken to remove all particles and
brushed until thoroughly clean. 1t is
often necessary to apply the bran twice

of Earl Grey, the reform statesman,
who preceded Lord Melbourne. 1t is
said she believed that the way to live
long was not to allow anything to
agitate ones feelings and that she
deprecated having any member of her
family engage in politics, attributing
the early death of her brother, the late
Earl Grey, who died at 92, to that
pernicious habit.
