Field for Young Women.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslies Weekly.
The young man in chambers and the
young woman in her tiny fiat are subject
to ailments like the rest of mankind. They
are very likely living alone, without rela-
tives or near friends to help them, and they
cannot afford to either house profess
sional nurse or to pay her price. Many of
these, with natural shrinking from a hos
pital, are grateful for the services OF a
trained attendant who lives in her own
place and attends by the day or week. This
comparatively new profession opens up
large and, so far, uncrowded field for the
young woman whom nature has not en-
dowed with a special talent for anything
else and who needs must become a servant
a shop girl or a factory hand, IL She earns
her own living To give this class of girls
and young women an opportunity, and also
to supply the demand for trained attend
ants in homes OF both rich and poor, train
ing schools have been established in several
large cities under the auspices of the Young
Women's Christian Association. The orig
inal school of this nature is in Boston, the
largest and most efficient in Manhattan,
with an auxiliary In Brooklyn.

ones over the shoulders. The inside part
of the yoke is made of a thin lace, upon
which individual patterns are worked, so
that a mere glance assures one that the de-
sign is specially made for this use. out

sections Is strip of fine embroidered Dea0-

The majority of batiste and satin blouses
fasten in the back This is the case with
the following design. in which may be noted
more than one unique and pretty erect:
Cream colored washable satin formed the
foundation. This was tucked for about an
inch on to a deep "V'-shaped yoke. or,
more properly speaking. a chenlisette of
lace, which was edged with fiat fold of
the satin. The arrangement of tucks pro-
vided a becoming fullness over the bust.
and then, instead of having this brought
with a straight effect into the girdle, the
folds produced by the tucks were allowed to
radiate from the chemisette Some of the
fullness naturally spread to the armholes.
some was drawn into the underarm seams,
and the rest that part which came directly
in the center, was disposed of in such
way that it formed pointed corselet, upon
the bottom of which appeared the inevitable
belt. This was made of bias folds of the
satin, measuring altogether not more than
an inch and half
The upper part of the sleeve fell into a
moderate sized puff of satin, and a long,
tight cuff Of lace formed the remainder. The
juncture was trimmed with two downward
falling and one outstanding frills of lace,
separated by a narrow fold of satin. Three
smart bowknots Of satin were placed in q
row down the center of the chemsette.

Forests in Iceland.

Iceland seems to be hardly as destitute of
trees as some suppose, an old idea being
that it possesses but a single tree. An in
vestigation by Prof c. v. Prytz of Copen-
hagep shows that the island really contains
woods having various trees of considerable
size. and that the climate is not unfavorable
to tree growth, as there is evidence that IL
was once much more heavily wooded than
now. Reckless destruction of the forests is
the cause assigned for the decline. Pro-
fessor Prytz believes re-afforestation to be
feasible, with care in the selection of trees
and places of planting, and suggests plant
ing around meadows and on mountain sides.

sleds 500 Miles to Obtain Divorce.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Perhaps the most remarkable and most
difficult trip ever made by a woman for
the purpose of obtaining divorce is that
just accomplished in Alaska by Mrs. Geor
giana Place, young woman who obtained
the decree of separation from her husband
at Fairbanks in the territory.
AS the story is told in special dispatch
from Fairbanks, Mrs. Place Travelled 500
miles on dog sled and alone, from BEETLES
20 the place where her petition was heard.
She had team of four dogs and made the
trip about as successfully and expeditiously
as anybody but trained Alaskan courier
could have made it, but she endured severe
hardships. She says the trip was especially
difficult because she had only her ordinary
costume in which to travel.
On the Yukon she came near losing her
life when she was thrown from her sled
and fell into an afr-hole. She saved her
celf by grasping one of the sled runners.
Mrs. Place is a small slender woman,
blue-eyed and comedy. She charged her
husband with cruelty, and as there was no
defense, the divorce was promptly granted.
She stated that she was married at San
Francisco on January IA, 1892. The husband,
from whom she has been separated for
some time, is supposed to be in Seattlesor
some of the other Puget sound cities

Review.
Industrial opportunities are being slowly
opened to women in Japan, whose economic
condition is said to be exceedingly wretch
ed Not only We're the professions not
open to them, but not even factories or re-
spectacle stores would employ them, and
the government set its face against them
by refusing to engage them for clerical
work or in connection with It's telephone,
telegraph or railroad service. The lives of
workingmen in Japan have been slave-like.
A change, however Is taking place in pub

Thrift,
From Cent Per Cent.

From Cent Per Cent.
Z Thrift is a moral virtue, and is acquired
by cultivation. Franklin in his autobiog-
Saphy says of this and other virtues that
by carefully practicing them and keeping
CHECK on himself he was gratified to note
as the years went by fewer violations of
them. If, therefore, enc is going to ac-
quire the virtue of thrift there must first be
the purpose, fixed and immovable, estab-
eished in the mind to let nothing thwart or
discourage him in its pursuit. If Franklin
could barely notice his progress from year
to year ordinary persons need not hope to
make the virtue of thrift their own with
out steadfast struggle. Yet it is worth
what it costs. for thrift is care and pru-
dence in the management of ones re-

The Earlines Are Ladies Now.

From the Guardian.
All things come at last to those who
know how to wait, but the interval Is
sometimes long and tedious Three hundred
years ago there was little group of ladies
in Scotland who tried to obtain something
and failed. Last week their successors at
length obtained their hearts desire. When
James / found that the wives of the lords
of session were trying to get themselves
called my LADY, he would have none of
it. True" he said, Il made the earls lords.
but who made the earlines 1adies?" His
descendant and successor, King Edward
VII, has made the earlines ladies' at last.
and joy regns in more than one feminine
bosom beyond the Tweed. 1t is, no doubt,
an anomaly that husband should be your
lordship' and his wife plain ma am" but
1t is one from which bishops wives suffer
to this day, and from which they will
probably continue to suffer.
