The New Skirts,

One cannot touch upon waists with
out mentioning the new skirts, for they
are SO closely allied to the waists in
color and style as to pass for suits even
though purchased separately.
The very latest skirts show the drop
skirt, which is an entire skirt made of
silk and and finished with an accordion
plating around the foot. This is the
universal style for the drop skirt, which
is not scant skirt, but very full one.
quite as full as the dress skirt under
which it drops.
A very successful French dressmaker,
one who designs gowns for the Coun-
tess de Castellane, who is considered
the best dressed woman in Paris, has a
way of making the drop skirt sepa-
rately, fitting it as though it were the
dress skirt. 1t is just as full, just as
we'll fitted to the hips, just as perfect
In every way as the dress skirt. 1t is
also very long and touches the floor
In front. The back and sides are of
sweeping length. Over this the dress
skirt is finally made.-The Pittsburg
fcess.

Philanthropy in school Work.

Chicago has the distinction of be-
ing the first city in the world to fur
nish free transportation for crippled
children of school age to a school of
their own. The superintendent of
compulsory education of the city in
investigating many cases of absence
found that number of children re-
mained from the school sessions both
on account of sensitiveness because of
their deformity and because, in many
instances, they were unable to reach
the school without an attendant, an
impossibliity in families all the men,
bers of which had to be breadwinners
The community had provided for the
schooling of these unfortunates, but
the cost of transportation fell mainly
upon the parents and guardians, ex-
cept wien private charity furnished
the means. In builulng in the stock
yard district, where the larger pro-
portion of these children live, a large
room has been set apart for them in
order that they may not be annoyed
and jostled by their healthy and bois-
ferrous mates. A smooth running ON
nibus with an attendant plies daily
between the school and the homes of
the children, and Is crippled and COM
paratively helpless children constitute
the first class. Similar schools are
contemplated in other parts of the
city. That the school boards of other
cities will turn their attention from
the jobbery in books and the traffic
in positions of which they are too Of
ten accused, and enter into a noble
emulation in the humanities with Chi
cago is devoutly to be hoped, even
though their efforts should be Grip
pied by the bartering of school and
hospital appropriations in political
orruption.-American Medicine.

Two Odd New Games.

In European fashionable circles two
new games VIII soon become popular,
if one may judge by the enthusiasm
which greeted them when they were
played few days ago, for the first
time, at a large festival given by
wealthy landed proprietor.
One is known as ''the necktie race"
The players are horsemen, and, as in
an ordinary race, each strives to be
first at distant goal. Midway between
the starting point and goal, however,
are several ladies, and each horseman
as he reaches them is bound to dis
mount, hand the reins to a groom, have
his neclxtie tied by one of the ladies',
and then mount again and race for the
goal. Before the race begins each
horseman selects the lady whom he de-
sires to favor him in this manner
The second sport is known as "the
apple race" On the course over which
the horsemen are to go are placed four
basins filled with water and each con-
tanning floating apple, and each
horseman on reaching the basins Is re-
quired to dismount, kneel and grasp, it
he can, one of the apples with his
teeth. That this is no easy task can
readily be seen. Furthermore, IL he
succeeds in grasping the apple he must
keep it in his mouth until he reaches
the goal, for If he drops it while his
horse is galloping he cannot win the
prize-New York Herald.

Sixty years ago no woman in Ameri-
ca, so far as is known, had ever been
regularly accredited as an authoized
practitioner in law, medicine or theol-
ogy. Indeed, it seemed then far more
unlikely that women would be allowed
to preach tnan to vote. When Antoin-
cite l.. Brown impaired to her class
mate, Lucy Stone, at Oberlin, her in
tention to become an ordained minis
ter, Lucy who already aspired to be-
come voter, exclaimed: "You can
never do it," Yet Antoinette was Or
dained, and ministered to an orthodox
congregation some so years ago, while
Lucy, after a half-century of heroic
effort, died disfranchised citizen.
OF the three learned professions,
medicine has proved the most gener-
ally available for women. There are
now many thousand physicians of ev-
cry school practising medicine success
fully in America and England, and
even to some extent in foreign coun-
tries. Indeed, a medical diploma has
proved Invaluable to many women mis-

which would otherwise have been
closed to them.
While there are thousands of sue
cessful physicians, there are few hun
dred successful clergywomen. who have
ministered acceptably to congregations
and done credit to their pastorates.
But in law comparatively few women
have been able to support themselves
by the practice of the profession. In
exceptional cases they have done so.

The plump matron with rounded con-
tour and full throat often finds it diff
cult to buy silken stock ready made.
The stock may be low or high, it is
nearly always pinching tight, and not
to be thought of save as an inducement
to apopleXy. Sometimes cutting away
the upper edge enlarges the surface, so
as to make it fit. Someumes chou or
rosette of tulle or ribbon bow with
loops is stitched to one end, and the
hooks that fasten the collar are then
moved forward under the bow. This
gives lee way, and the stock then fits
reasonably; but it lacks the style of a
smooth packed stock. One must not
choke, and yet one would gladly be
smart in the matter of neck-dressing.
Perhaps the dealers in such pretty arti-
cles of neckwear will begin to supply
extra long models.

New velvet ribbons are of velvet on
both sides and of solid color in the

color of the centre and white. 1t gives
a pretty shaded effect.
Many jewels and pearl embroidery
will be seen upon the hats to match the
jewelled effects in gowns which will be
worn this winter. Gold and silver lace
and embroidery appear with the jewels.
All-sillk hats, taffetas, which will be
worn this winter, are among the pret-
test for children. They wear them to
match the coats. Blue with blue, red
with red, and black with anything.
They are chiefly worn in colors. Other
things are prettier in bla \.
A one-seam bishop sleeve model is
being brought out for the seasons uses.
1t may be made in full-length style

cuff-or, again, in three-quarter length
and finished with frill. The lining
may be omitted If desired. The sleeve
is particularly suitable for shirtwpists
of silk or light wool.

Loneliness and Health,

A medical journal has of late been
dlscoursing on the indigestion of lone
illness, says the Baltimore Sun. By this
title is meant to be indicated the dis
orders of digestion which are believed
to follow the practice of taking ones
meals in solitary state. The topic is
by no means an uninteresting one.
Thousands of men and women living
alone are compelled to take their meals
for the most part without company.
Week in and week out they feed them
selves without a soul to talk to, and the
medical journal devotes it's energies
to showing that the practice is not one
that is likely to be conducive to di-
gestion, to proper bodily nourishmcnt
or to health. The solitary man soon
tires of merely eating, and if he is not
of a literary turn of mind his tendency
is to hurry through his meal to escape
from his loneliness into the society Of
his fellow-men. Herein, it is held,
lies a danger to health.

Bright purple, katydid green, vivid
yellow and scarlet are the gay hues in
which purses, cardcases and pocket
books are being made this season. The
smooth-surfaced feathers seem to be as
much in favor as the rough monkey
skin, rhinoceros hide, elephant skin,
etc, which have had such a long and
successful reign.
The silver or gold mountings of these
new leather goods are in a fanciful
new-art style; dragon flies with out
spread wings form the top of pocket
book, while nymph with golden hair
and cap of cowslips on her head
forms the graceful mount of purse of
green leather. The bright hues and the
fantastic designs of art novveau seem
to suit each other admirably.

To Refresh the Face.

When tired and weary after days
outing or travelling, it is a great mis-
take to plunge the face into cold water,
which really acts as an irritant, where
as tepid water produces quite the con-
trary effect. After washing off the
dust on face and ears, little butter
milk or, failing that, rose water, dab
bed on, will soothe and whiten the
skin, taking away the feeling irrita-
