THE WOMAN AT HOME.
Her Influence Is the Chief and E.-
sentinl Thing in Making Family
Life Perfect

There is no pace where the graces of
true womankind shine out more con-
| spicuously than in the common daily
intercourse of the family. Patience,
gentieness, tender sympathy, love and
forbearance here come into play with
force and influence felt in no other
place. Here those virtues, which have
their source in the Divine nature, find
their most congenial atmosphere. Let
them be lacking, or any of them, and
the harmony is broken, and peace and
Joy depart. 1t is mott be understood
that the happiness of the family re-
lation does not also depend in a large
measure upon the character of the hus-
band and the father, but we insist
only that the influence of the wife and
mother here is the chief and most es-
sential thing. The home is, primarily,
what she makes it. 1t is her domain,
her throne of power. II she chooses
to neglect her duties at the behest of
society, or because of other outside in
terests, the home suffers from her abb
sence, and the family loses all that
charm and brightness which her pres
ence should infuse. There is danger,
we apprehend, in these days of prog
ress and reform" particularly in the
matter of "woman's rights" of under
valuing the influence and character of
the family life. 1t is some times talked
OF as matter of small consequence in
comparison with that so-calied wider
sphere outside of home duties, to which
many are inspiring. But let the
truth be empha sized, that the mothers
of to-day hold the levers of the worlds
tomorrow. Let impurity, discord and
dissension enter the homes of the
people, let the family life be corrupted,
and disease and death will fasten itself
upon the vitals of the republic, and it's
days will be numbered. Domestic hap
piness underlies national strength and
prosperity, and the nearer we approach
to the ideal home the less we shall have
to fear for the future. - Leslie's
Weekly.

NEW AMERICAN SINGER.
French Critics Say That Bessie Abbot,
Piclcns Surpasses the Im-
mortal Patti

Bessie Abbott, the American vaude.
vile actress who left the stage fou,
years ago to study for the opera on the
advice of Jean de Reszke, has just made
her debut as a grand opera star in
Paris, and has created great com.
motion in music circles there. Her

feet ever sung in Paris, not excepting
even Patti. The critics are une quivoca.
in their praise, and the success of the
former vaudeville actress in grand op.
era is assured. Miss Abbott is a
member of the Pickens family, of South
Carolina. She went on the stage seven
years ago as one of the three abbott
sisters" and for three years sang 81

and figure, and, in America, was the
favorite of the three sisters.
Great teachers, such as Manouery,
Julians and Figure, accord warm and
earnest praise to the young American n.
Manouery says: "Afiss Abbott is the
best Juiette have ever heard. More.
over, with the exception of Patti, she
is the only prima donna who has ever
been able to render the part as written
in the original score. That is to say,
Miss Abbott sang the score of Juliette
in G, which requires her to put her full
voice on high d, the attack of which
was absolutely perfect. 1t should be
remembered that neither Melba nor
Games ever attempted to sing the score
of Ju.iette in G, but did so in L, a full
tone lower than Miss Abbott sang it."
Pierre Gailhard, the director of the
opera, states: 'In my opinion Miss Bes
sic Abbott is the most perfect Juliette
that has ever sung in Paris, and in
saying this l do not even except Patti.
Miss Abbott's compass is most remark
able, ranging from B below the line to
G above the line, or high g."
After Miss Abbott completed the first
phrase OF the score of Juliette at the
opera Gailhard ran up to her and
kissed her on the cheek and exclaimed:
my dear child, your triumph is as.
sured."
Miss Abbott replied: "Why, have
scarcely begun to sing yet" Gailhard
rejoined: 20, you have won the ear of
the public, and you are success now,
no matter what you may do"
After the performance Gen. Porter,
the amba ssador, wrote her note stat
ing that it was the most remarkable
debut he had even attended. Among
those who expressed themselves most
enthusiastically and most unequivo-
cally in admiration of Miss Abbott's
voice is James Gordon Bennett, who
is of disposition not easily moved
by music, but who has surprised his
friends by his keen, accurate and
eager praise of the young American
singer.
AS much inaccurate information has
appeared in French papers in regard
to Miss Abbott it may be stated that
she was born at Riverside, in northern
New York, the country seat of the
Pickens family, of South Carolina, and
on her mothers side is grandniece
of the late Archbishop Benson, of Can
terbury, and traces her lineage from
the Abbotts of Abbottsford. She was
educated at convent and at St. Johns
private school in New York city. Jean
de Reszke, whom she met in England,
persuaded her to give up ballad sing
ing and study for opera.
Miss Abbott says her success is due
to her teaching under Nine. Freda Ash
forth and M. Fidele Koenig, chef
de chant of the Paris opera.
Capoul gave her lessons in stage
department. To sum up, the ver-
diet of Paris is that Miss Alb.
bott's success is assured, and the only
thing she needsis to study the dramatic
side of her profession, which at pres.
ent is her weak point.

toni, famous prima donna coming
over on American conquest bent. The
whole of Manhattan is eager to bid her
welcome.
Among others the military. We hear
the familiar bars of the old song,
"Capt. Jinks, of the Horse Marines %
and in walk, arm in arm, three merry
gentlemen in scarlet uniform While
waiting for Nine. Trenton to appear
these young gallants kill time as best
they may. They match coins, they at
titudinize, and finally they indulge in a
wager of rather questionable taste.
One of them is hard up and put o it TO
retrieve his fortunes. He makes bet
with Capt. Jinks that the latter will
not be able to arrive at love shaking
with the fair prima donna in the next
seven days. Capt. Jinks, not given to
taking dare, wagers that he will, and
gives his I. o. U. for 81 900 to his COM
panion. Which, as it very properly
should, later causes the captain sew
eral miserable hours.
Presently the above characters ac-
commodatingly leave the stage to
make way for private interview be-
tween Mr.. Policeman and a customs
house officer in civilians clothes. The
latter remarks to the former that
Nine. Trentoni is said to have brought
over with her a very extensive ward
robe, and that they must both be on
the alert. Furthermore, if anyone at
tempts to bride the policeman, this
officer is to give two long whistles and
the customs official will come at once
to the scene.
They leave the stage, and in comes
the crowd of reporters with huge
bouquet, which is to be presented to
the prima donna with the compli-
ments of representatives of the press

serving the bouquet, counts on some
fun and announces: "Yere comes
Nine. Trentoni. Make way!"
The reporters, with bound, reach
the gangplank just in time to see a fe-
male of generous amplitude descend.
The spokesman al once makes his, com
plimentary remarks and with a -four

much flustered, accepts it coyly and
with difficulty manages to grasp it,

from sight. The prima donna, sitting
in the carriage, surrounded by flowers,
makes "a very pretty picture, smiling
and bowling to the captain, and calling
out: This afternoon at four"
But at four the doughty captain is
otherwise engaged. AS he was about
to place bill in the hand of the de-
ceitful policeman with whisper in re-
gard to letting Nine. Trentoni's boxes
slip through, two low whistles sound
ed, and the curtain went down on Jinks
struggling in the hands of the customs
house confederates.
Two weeks are supposed to have
elapsed between the first and second
acts. In that time Nine. Trentoni and
Capt. Jinks have made great strides in
their acquaintance, and we soon find
ourselves treated to some interesting
love-making. The lady accepts the gem
tleman with little OF coy hesita ton,
but they get small time for philander-
ing, as a hotel parlor is bad place for
that sort of thing. All through the
play, just as the captain and his lady
Love are about to embrace, in will rush
her manager, or her companion, or his
whilom friends, or bellboy with ice
water. All of which, of course, adds to
the general hilarity.
But the villain enteres. The whilom
friends conspire to ruin Capt. links,
chances with Nine. Trentoni. They

OF the original material is to be seen.
The mixtures in trimmings are truly
wonderful. Lace is embroidered in
black chenille and studded with medal
lions of hand-painted cretonne, out
lined in gold. Embroideries on tulle
have reached an acme of perfection;
they are spangled, jeweled and tufted
with floss silk. Cloth is studded with
gold and silver nailheads. Kid is en-
broidered in bands to form yokes and
belts.
Lace, old and new, adorns every.
thing-muffs are frilled with it, lace
ruffies fall over the hands, and lovely
creamy lace peeps out wherever pos
sible.
| Stocks and ruffles are indispensable
with the Louis Quinze coats, which
are not as much worn as they might
be, simply because if wearer has not
style of her own she is apt to look
Gowdy in them.
Marabout is delightful feather fur,
and the new neck arrangements of
| marabout are sort of flat capelet
edged with little tails, with long stole
ends in front
| Fur also appears on hats and toques
| IA few sable tails, band of ermine,
some real lace and soft panne roses
make a fetching hat.
A favorite but expensive trimming
for beaver and soft felt hats is a
swathed drapery of white tulle or chif-
| fon, on to which has been sewn tails of
ermine. This has very pretty effect,
but is eXtravagant, as most modern
styles.
Velvet flowers and foliage are lovely
and soft for trimming toques and hats,
and, moreover. if we'll made, are dura-
| bic and economical. Most of the French
| specimens are deliciously perfumed,
a tiny wad of scented wool being art
| fully concealed in the center of each
flower.
Velvet violets in dark and mauve
shades, and arranged in market
punches, adorn pale gray beaver and
rough felt hats. Turban, toreador and
tricorne shapes are all favorite wear.
Crepe de chine will have long sway
for evening wear, beside the endless
hand-painted gauze, lisse and chiffon
materials. Crepe de chine is often
killed into empire dresses, and love-
ly Greek style of gown is popular,
trimmed with hand embroidery in de.
signs of hop leaves, or laurel; or red
currants ard grapes with gold-leaved
| foliage.

prunes Don't Need Soaking.

Miss Parloa is the authority for re-
versing the long-cherished tradition
of most housekeepers that prunes
should be soaked several hours, or
even over night, to prepare them ac-
ceptably for cooking. Instead, this
well-known expert teaches that the
fruit should be washed carefully in
tepid water and allowed to stand in
it two or three minutes to swell.
Wash in a second water and put on
at once in saucepan with 1h> cup
fuls of cold water to one cupful of
prunes. Simmer slowly for 21a hours.
No sugar is needed, as, cooked in
this way, the natural sweetness Of
the fruit is brought out. Other dried
fruits need soaking.

October day. An Irish policeman,

faced newsboy is on the ground; re-
