ARE WOMEN ADAPTED.

81 do not understand why more wo-
men do not study electricity" remarked
a professor of electrical engineering in
the presence of a correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader. ITO my thinking it is
a profession far more suited to women
than law or medicine, surgery, or other
callings which they flock to, and | have
never talked with an instructor who did
not entertain the same opinion. Elec-
tricity is clean, requires no strength IN
manipulation. and calls for no greater
order of ability to understand its laws
than is necessary to master other learn
ed professions. 1t is fascinating study;
one likely to increase in interest and
supply an ever-broadening incentive for
work. 1t offers, moreover, abundant
chance for substantial returns, and those
who have applied themselves to it have
made excellent records. The Massachu-
etss Institute of Technology has turned
out FIVE or six women graduates in cleo
tricity. Nearly all the state universities
have at times had women students in the
electrical engineering class rooms, but
they have been the exception, and not
the rule. Women study physics and
chemistry, they go all around the subject
in its underlying relations, but they give
electricity pure and simple, the cold
shoulder, when it is in reality well suited
to their capacity, physical and mental.

Sastes of wide lowered ribbons with
fringed ends will be a pretty accom-
paniment of the diaphanous summer
frocks.
The skirts of the thin gowns hang
closely, excepting just at the feet, where
ruffies or fiounces make them stand out
very much like the petals of a flower.
A pretty new fashion in tailor gowns
has just been introduced, which is ex-
ceedingly attractive. 1t consists in trim
ming dark ccfored tailor suits with light
colored satin cloth and having hat and
gloves to match.
The triple skirt is recent fancy de-
veloped by the great tailors. They con-
sist of three nearly hat-shaped fiounces
or volants, falling closely the one over
the other, the edges of the founces be-
ing finished according to fancy.
Embroidered pongees have arrived,
Justly achieving their fashionable Sue
cess of the strength of their fibre, the
purity of their color, and the excellence
of their needle worked design. From
purest cream to the warmest sandy
brown their tints and tones prevail.
Among the prevailing sleeve models
is the Renaissance with full puff at
the elbow and a long, tight fitting cuff.
These cuffs are frequently made of thin'
transparent materials, jetted lace, net or
chiffon with lace applique which cores
ponds to a guimpe made of the same
material.

THE CRYING NEED OF THE
HOME.

What is the crying need of the home /?
Not money. Not intellect. Not refine
ment. Not wisdom. 1t is love, and
warm demonstration of love.
Life is such a little thing, short
space of years at best, and to live it
through and to have missed love in
childhood from father and mother is the
saddest thing in all the universe. Most
people love their children. Few fathers
and mothers would own to a lack OF
affection for their offspring.
But in many hcees-shalf say in the
majority ?-there is lack of the real
living love and tenderness that fill the
heart full to running over with love-
words, kisses, fond caresses. The good
night kiss, the dear hand upon the little
ones head and cheek, how these things
expand the soul of the child and make
it receptive to good influences.
To be a father or mother is to hold
the keys of heaven and hell for the hu.
man race. The relation is divine one
with infinite demands, and yet how Otter
undertaken with no forethought, no sense
of the awful responsibility. Wisdom
goodness, nobility, strength and patienc'
are needed by the parent, and, abov'
all, love.-Mrs. G. NJ Ogilvie in th'
Womon's Home Companion.

THE BRIDES SHOES.

The brides shoes are more frequently
of white kid than of white satin The
fad of white satin is now completely out
nor in Paris does the bride carry in her
hand bouquet or anything but the
tiniest of lace handkerchiefs.
1t is a mistake to change ones habitual
style of coiffure on ones wedding day.
The hair should be dressed as usual, if
more carefully, and only few sprays of
myrtle and orange flower placed in it,
while the lightest of tulle wells should
come down like soft cloud over the
head and figure.
Bridesmaids toilets are made of taf-
fetas, crepe de chine, bengaline, sicili-
enne, yelling or barege. They are gen.
orally in light shades of pink, blue,
maize, Nile green or mauve, or else
cream-white with small floral patterns
Thus a very pretty toilet of this style
lately seen has a pattern of Parma vio-
lets with bluish-green foliage. The bod
ice is an open boiero with plated fronts
The plaits are fiat, converging at the
waist. The boiero is trimmed with
cream lace forming collar and border
down the fronts to the cuffs, showing
puffed undersleeves of white chiffon
The chemisette is also of white chiffon
with draped collar and belt of turquoise
blue velvet.-Cixcinndti Commeycta

FOR THE SMART BABY.

Some of the sweetest little frocks
are now being prepared for children S
country wear. One of the smartest mod
els is quite simple, being merely short
loose frock, mounted into small square
yoke, fastening at the back. There are
bishop sleeves and large turn-down col
lar and cuffs of embroidered cambric.
Fine pink and white, blue. mauve or sea.
green and white striped batiste is used,
and the collars and cuffs are delicately
embroidered by hand and edged with
real Valenciennes lace. Every mother,
however, cannot afford such dainty
frocks, so the model is copied in less
expensive materials. Embroidered poe
ket handkerchiefs, which cost about
fifty cents each, may be used for the col
lars and cuffs, two handkerchiefs being
sufficient for the purpose.-Ne7C York

The Song Of the Ticker

bucket shop there is a deal of romance"
said follower of the stock market as ne
sat musing the other day with the sound
of the ticker in his ear. "That little in

LETTER COLLECTING MOTOR CARS.
Dream Into the Future Which May Be
Realized.

A Dream Into the Future Which May Be
Realized.
"In the postal service the govern
ment annually appropriates $4,000
for horse hire, and by horse hire is 1t
meant that the department allows car
riers $500 year each for what Is
called mounted carrier service" said
a postal official to Star reporter this
morning.
There are 20 mounted carriers In
Washington and they may be observed
riding around the streets in their lit
tie wagons collecting mail. Whether
this is satisfactory way OF solving
this problem is a matter Of opinion,
but it has evidently been found to be
as economical a system as could be
devised for the money, and on the
score of economy it may be indorsed.
For other reasons, however, it cannot
be commended, and 1t Is antiquated
and scarcely befitting the great sys-
TEN 1t represents.
''It would probably cost twice the
amount to maintain uniform system
as to carriage and horse service In
the cities where mounted carriers are
utilized; but If it cost $2,000,000 the
present high standard of the admins
| tration of postal affairs would be ma
| terially increased as to appearance and
undoubtedly as to service performed
by these carriers. The little wagons
are of better appearance than those in
use some years ago, but out OF sum
of only $500 year carrier cannot
| be expected to supply much OF a rig
| as to vehicle and horse.
'The idea OF collecting mail on foot
belongs to past generation. 1t must
be, collected now by men in vehicles
to meet the demands of the times. A
decade hence it will be collected. in all
probability, by men in automobiles.
| The system is so extensive, and the
specters of a deficit so ever present in
the minds of the officials in all
branches of the service, that reforms
| and measures affecting thousands OF
men and involving the expenditure OF
millions of dollars are necessarily
considered and experimental with be-
fore adoption.
Nevertheless, deficit and economy
to the contrary Notwithstanding, the
day is rapidly approaching when
Washington will see the last of the
little jaunting cars with their little
horses driven by the men in gray.

UNDISCOVERED WARDROBE
SECRETS.

Have you ever asked a woman who
she dresses to please? She will invari-
ably answer herself, but the statement
is mendacious in every instance, save
in those of the dress reformer-and that
means the woman without hope!
In the palmy days of Greece three
philosophers sat agains, the sunny side
of the temple discussing the infinite and
the branches thereof.
"a woman" said one, dresses to
please the men,"
"a woman" said the other, dresses
to worry the other women.
The discussion waxed acrimonious, TN
til both appealed to the third, who be-
longed to the school of the trimmers.
"a woman" he said, dresses to
please the men. and thereby worry the
other women" ."-Neac Orleans Times

EDUCATION FOR JAPANESE
WOMEN.

The founders of the new Women's
University of Japan, which was opened
in the suburbs of Toxic not many weeks
ago, are seeking publicity to demon
strate the value to the nation of edu-
cation for women. One of those inter-
ested in the movement, Count Okuma,
in his address delivered at the opening
of the university, or school, as it should
more properly be called, frankly admit
ted that the nations which had neglected
to educate their women, notably Persia,
Egypt and China, were no longer in the
race of progress. In his opinion, an inn
provement in the condition of the wo-
men of Japan is the only satisfactory
means of reforming family life and oi
insuring the strength of the nation.
