ABOUT GLOVES.

No unduly thick or plump hand
should ever be encased in anything
lighter in the way of gloves than a
mouse colored tint, unless the wearer
be all in white. Thus declares an
authority on gloves.
White gloves should never be worn
by anybody who is not wearing another
distinctive touch of white on gown or
hat. The contrast is too crude. The
woman with a large hand, if it is well
shaped, may wear white, but not a pure
white; rather the oyster white, with
black stitching.
Black gloves should only be worn
with black gowns and coats. For your
gown in every shade of brown. from
chocolate down to the range of mastic
and paste lines. you can have gloves
to match The same with grays.

Mary Hay. At its close she returned to
her work of organizing woman suffrage
clubs throughout the Union. She has
a natural bent for organizing and man
aging as well as for political work She
was born and spent her childhood and
earliest girlhood in Indiana. across the
Ohio river not far from Louisville.
Her father was a physician and prom
inent Indiana Republican. Her mother
died when she was few years old and
left her to her father He took her with
him in his carriage when he visited his
patients. Many places she went with
him; even sometimes when he presided
at political conventions he took her and
held her in his arms. If she went to
sleep he laid her down somewhere to
one side when he rose to address the
meeting.
One of her first recollections is of sit
ting upon her fathers knee and listen
ing to the falling showers of political
oratory; one of her first remembered
mental operations is thinking that
when she got older she, too. would like
to make political speeches. not knowing
then that for a girl politics was tabooed.
When at length she did find it out she
began at once to work for the good time
coming when women might have a
voice in public affairs.
She went to school at the famous old
Western Female seminary at oxford,

Thence the girl reformer drifted out
upon a broader current toward the
progress and complete emancipation of
woman. This brought her into contact
with Zerelda Wallace, the beloved step
mother of Lew Wallace, whom, I'm
known to the subject thereof, he made
the model for his type of all noble
motherhood in the story of Ben Hur''
'Oh. the things 1 learned from dear
Mother Wallacet'' says Miss Hay.

The political party that could secure
her as a state organizer might deem
itself well off. In California in 1896,

suffrage was carried throughout the

were beaten by between 5000 and 6,0G(

SHOCKED BY A DUKE.

The Duke Of Roxburghe, who is to
wed Miss May Gpelet. has shocked the
elite OF American society by kissing
his fiancee In the presence of two or
three hundred people. The social
lions, It Is reported, regarded the act
or the duke In silent disapproval. They
did not turn their faces the other
way. and they no doubt carefully noted
the effect on Miss Goelet, and 1t Is not
recorded that the young lady offered
any remonstrance or was at all flus-
trated by the encounter. But Newport
Is shocked nevertheless. The grave
and dignifed m%atrons retired to their
million dollar cottages and the young
women gathered in little groups and
discussed the shocking occurrence and
perchance sighed because there are
no more men like the Duke OF Rox-
burghe.
1t may be that the occurrence would
have passed without creating any
comment were 1t not for the fact that
1t gives a hint Of a surprising condi.
tion existing prior to the unusual in

But however much Newport Is
shocked now 1t will eventually recov-
er its equilibrium. and since the

a real live duke 1t is within the range
OF possibility that the rules will be
