Mrs. Parsons Livery.

Among those who linger in New
York city is Mrs. Herbert Parsons.
She has been driving in one of the
most attractive victorias ever shown
in New York. The carriage is small
and light and lined with gray cloth.
Her men on the box have silver gray
coats. white breeches and black boots.
Their hats are gray beavers with
broad black bands. The appearance
of these grooms is cool and comforta-
BILE, and often Mrs. Parsons will wear
gray in order to match her carriage
lining and liveries. 1t is barbarous the
way some of the men on boxes wear
winter weights, and Mrs. William Jays
foOtman was almost gasping for
breath while waiting for her the other
day. He had last winter toys, and
it would not be surprising if he were
to lead a servants strike.
Although she looks scarcely older
than school girl, Mrs. Parsons has
great deal Of dignity She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Clews.
and, like her mother, she does not show
her age. When she became Mrs Par
sons her father gave her the home in
112 West Thirty fifth street Ever
since he has overwhelmed his only
daughter with jewels and luxuries, and
1t is said her gems are of extraordinary
value. Her devotion to her brother,

nous. Brother and sister went every
where together, and Mrs. Parsons was
her brothers confidante when he was
counting Mrs. Frederick Gerhard, now
his wife. Mrs. Parsons soon will sail
for Paris to join her brother and his
wife. Mrs. Clews detests New York,
probably because of her marital misery
while here. She owns a wonderful
mansion in the East Seventies, but this

she does not take the trouble to rent

ABOUT WOMEN.

If the conclusions of Prof. -Herdman
are correct, pearl diving is not neces-
sarily injurious to those following it,
and humanitarians, who have girded at
women for adjoining themselves with
these lovely gems at the expense of 11u-
man life must withdraw or modify their
criticism. Prof. Herdman, at the re-
quest of the British government, in
vestigated the conditions of the Ceylon
pearl fisheries, which are controlled by
the British government and worked
only at long intervals and under the
sanction of the government. The pros
perity of pearl fisheries is said to f1uc-

A new phase of women's work which

in the advertising business. Now that
stenography is rather on the down
grade for women, owing to so many Of
the positions being given to young
men, women are seeking new ways,
and more feminine ways, of making a
living. In advertising women can do
well, and particularly those with
talent for drawing and sketching.
There are many programmes, pros
pectuSeS, year books and catalogues
gotten out annually which give work
to advertisers, and women who are
clever can do this as well as men.
Several women in New York and Chi
cago have worked up a good business
in this manner.

The scarcity OF labor saving devices
in the realm of domestic work was a
point dwelt upon with considerable
emphasis by recent lecturer on So
GEOLOGY. Women, he said, scrub floors
and wash windows, dishes, and, to a.
great extent. clothing, in the same old
ways elected by their great-great-
great grandmothers. They have, as a.
rule, the lecturer thought, little esti-
mate of the value Of time, at least as
evinced by their efforts to save it. In
fact, he recalled one estimable old dame
who exclaimed in answer to his pro-
test, But what's the use of getting
done the work SO quick?"
There are few departments of life
to which the empire of fashion does not
extend. There are fashions even in
saints, and st. Francis of Assist happens
to be the fashion at present This is
not hard to understand. At the present
time, when all thoughtful people are
awakening to new sympathy with
dumb animals, it is peculiarly interest
ing to find away back in the dark and
cruel Middle Ages a man who called
the larks his little sisters and who
hid the baby foxes so that they would
not be SHARED. st. Francis was char
acterized besides by an amazing inno-
cence and righteousness, which makes
him particularly refreshing to a world
that is beginning to weary of shams.

Other registry offices report the same

popularity of the lady cook seems
to be their unwillingness to associate

JUDGE WOOD AssAILs DAVIS.
Mistakes of Governor Furnish Theme of Judge Woods Address at New
 port Wednesday Afternoon.

Judge c, D. Wood, who has quite a following among the lawyers and business men of Newport in his can didacy for governor though his per sonal acquaintanceship prior to this visit was small, addressed a fair crowd at the court house Wednesday afternoon upon the issues of the pres- ent campaign.
 Judge Wood is not an orator. He has little personal magnetism, but im- presses an audience with his sincerity and high character At frequent in- ter Vais .h LIS address he was gener- ously applauded. Neither of the other candidates was present, the governors private secretary, Charley Jacobson, having wired that the in- vitation had arrived too late for the governor to reach Newport from Rogers. Hon. A. F. Vandeventer has been called to the bedside of his mother in Illinois and will not re- enter the gubernatorial debate before next week.
 Hon. Gustave Jones in introducing Judge Wood referred to their com panionship at college in Fayetteville, when Wood performed the work of a janitor in order to pay the expenses of his education. MT. Jones paid the c,0oo ly ar O oipb trih1ta oo n ea1f r,oJ n man who had reflected honor upon Arkansas highest judicial body.
 Judge Wood confined his remarks chiefly to the record of Gov. Davis, and while not abusive, his criticism did not lack vigor. He claimed that upon those very issues which Davis sought most to make capital to the injury of the supreme court, that body had supported the governor when he was attorney general.
 Davis' prosecution of the trusts or rather failure to do so was given a thorough reviewing.
 The governors pardon record also came in for good share of the speak er's attention, numerous instances being offered in which the chief ex- ecutive had by negligence or conni- vance with pardon attorneys exposed himself to merited censure.
 The argument of Judge Wood con- sumed nearly two hours, but no points that have not been touched upon during the campaign were intro duced.
