THE EMANcIpATED WOMAN.

The new woman seems to have "evo-
luted" to the point where it is matter
of doubt as to which is now really
the "weaker SEX" At least, there are
some woman who evidently consider
themselves physically superior to those
who were once regarded as lords of
creation. In all times of danger the

TEA TABLE FURNISHINGS.

A new idea in household furnishings
Is a tea table on which is spread
cloth having white background with
graceful design in blue. AS setting
for blue and white china or for use in
a room done in Dresden colors this is
very effective and pleasing variation
from the regulation tea table, with its
fancy cover embrcldered in white,
or with plain white squares of
damask. They are made of light
weight material, something like Jap
anese crepe, are inexpensive and har
monte very well with the light, airy
summer draperles. With tea set of
old blue china one of these covers is a
pleasing accompaniment, but even
without family heirlooms 1t makes an
agreeable substitute for the everlasting
white used during the most of the year.

WOMEN AS STATION AGENTS.

A Western railway is making some
radical changes in the personnel of its
employees, and 1t is now predicted that
all the smaller stations on its line
eventually will be in charge of women
for it is the introduction of women
station agents which constitutes the
novelty. The innovation was first ill.,
troduced year ago, the experiment
starting with one woman. who turned
out n most valuable assistant. Not
only were her monthly accounts models
Of neatness and accuracy. but she had
been in the office but short time be-
fore she began to offer valuable sug-
gestions as to how to make the road
popular with the people along the line.
The full measure of her capabillty was
ficals made tour of inspection, when
the womans station was found to be
the best kept one on the road. Inquiry
revealed that since she had taken the
station it had ceased to be lounging
place, there was no rOwdyism, and the
floors and benches We're now clean.
This exceptionally good record encour-
aged the road to experiment further,
and 1t is interesting that the other
women appointed have also given a
good account of themselves. The
woman station agent is found to dis
play more tact in handling people than
men agents, and there have been fewer
complaints in consequence.-Vogu

THE CARE OF LINENS.

Every housewife delights in having
nice linens for her table, and those of
heavy damask are cheaper in the end,
as they wear longer and look infinitely
better than the light weight linens.
The thinner cloths can be starched ever
so little, thereby giving the appearance
of heavier weight. This must be done
carefully, for stiflly starched table
cloth is unsightly, to say the least.
In buying table linen it is well to re-
12embor that check pattern in plain
or elaborate blocks with warp and
wool running straight across both
ways is a. better bargain than floral
or curved pattern that costs the same;
for the check pattern is more easily
manufactured, and, in consequence, n
better quality of linen is put into cloth
of this design than into fancy patterns
at the same price. -

ATTACKED BY AN ocTopus


My first experience of the octopus,
writes Frank II. Bullen In Creatures
of the Sea- was in little bay in
Stewart Island, New Zealand A small
| river flowed into this bay, notable for
Its fine founders, and the crew of the
ship In which / was then sailor soon
discovered that the easiest way of
catching them was to wade about on
the fine sandy bed with bare feet, the
water being only up to mid-thigh, and
when they felt the fiat body wriggling
under their soles, to tread firmly and
stoop. cropping in the sand until they
had the founder safe between finger
and thumb They they would raise
him and put him in the bag strapped
across their shoulders.
BY and by we discovered that the
nearer the sea the finer the founders,
and so one sunny afternoon was wad-
