Educational Smattering.

New York Times.
An interesting fact in the way of wom-
ans work, which makes impression upon
women who have TO deal with girls starting
out to earn their own living, is that a fair
ly good education, that of the grammar
school, for instance, units them for the
work they are best able to undertake. Ii
is the false sentiment with regard to man
ual employment. One woman, who is in
charge of an employment bureau under the
direction of charitable women, where girls
are placed at different employments out
side the domestic service, says that ii is
seldom a girl who has had a grammar
school education will TAX anything but an
office position.

non sense and has had much experience.
WHY, L can write answers the girl.
rather tamely.
'Sit down and write something for me"
says the woman with common sense.
This the girl does, and produces, as a
rule, a letter which. If not poorly written.
is badly spelled and badly expressed. There
is no call in an office for girls of her class,
and she feels that she is above any other
kind of work. These are the most ignorant
classes of girls, but ii shows that the stand
taken in many ways for the uplifting and
perfecting of manual labor and the recOg-
milton of good hand work as an art is going
to do much good after a time.

To Sit Straight.


New York Sun.
a Southern girl, whose neck and Shout
ders, no more than her regal manner of
holding them, have made her the goal Of
masculine eyes and the envy OF eminin
ones wherever she has appeared since her
visit to New York this winter, thus ex-
planned the other day to an inquisitive ac-
quaintance a partial secret of her beauty;
Il just wear a board" said she. "Of
course. L don't do that now. at least only
when 1 find that l am getting careless, but

Indians put their papooses on boards and
tie 'em on tight to make them straight,
and / reckon the Indians ought to know.
Father made my board for me. II was
just a narrow strip of wood. about like a
lath, followed just the least bit at the
small of the back, and long enough to
reach from ones collar to ones waist. The
board was all planed and sa~ndpapered, and
l tied IL on at my neck and waist with rib
bons. l think that good, strong webbing

dead when you take it off, and at any
time you don't need to wear 1t very long.

Vogue of the Ugly Girl.

New York Evening Sun.
Is there a vogue for ugly girls just now?
Various things go to prove it. Most of
the so-called professional beauties of the
moment are not at all the sort that could
have gained such a high place a few years
ago Both in painting and sculpture we
find face after face that may come UP to
the artists standards of beauty, but not
those of the average individual. The sue
cess of many a play this season has not
depended upon the p%rettiness of it's women.
Authors have fallen into line with a ven
geance. No up-to-date writer would dare
TO call his heroine pretty and nothing else.
She must be bright and athletic and clever
and all sorts of other things beside; indeed.
II she is cross-eyed or has a club-fOOt or a
hump or some other nice little handicap
like that IL is considered highly artistic"
and the author is called a second Ibsen.'
A heroine with a handicap is just about
the most fashionable thing in literature.
On top of all this, il is but natural. that
general taste should follow suit. We find
all sorts OF homely girls considered
pretty nowadays-girls ugly enough TO
have stopped any self-respecting clock in
the country a few years ago. Either stand
ards have changed or ugly girls have be-
come fashionable. 1.-The artists are largely
responsible for It," said a man in COM
menting upon this state of things not long
ago: Il never met an artist yet who knew
a pretty girl when he saw her. He'll look
right over the head OF peaches and cream
personihed. and lighting on some slab
sided, jimber-jawer specimen will cry.
There's a beauty for you! Hasn't she a
fascinating figure? Isn't the set Of that
Jaw the most artistic thing you ever
dreamed OFF, And if any of us who isn't
an artist dares TO differ from him. he looks
at you as If You were Tony Lumpkin say
ing. oh. you should see Bet Bouncer OF
these parts. " There's no doubt that as a
race or an individual rises higher in the
scale. his standards should change, but it
Is certainly queer that in case of woman's
beauty they should alter for the worse. Il
must confess that I'm not educated up TO
Mrs. IS beauty" said a woman OF a
successful aspirant for professional pull
chritude- Half a dozen years ago she
would have been called phenOmenally
homely." IF they must make so much of
ugliness,' said another woman. "let them
at least call IL by its right name. It's this
hypocrisy-this pretending it's beauty,
when anybody with half an eye TO see,
knows II isn't, that is hard TO bear"

Among other dainty things in the New

gown that calls for them, and which are
TO be worn in muslin as well as in silk

plenty of dandelion greens, both cheap and
