bordered lawn is used, however, and
the borders are Joined beneath one of
the tucks at the back to give the
requisite effect. There also are shoul-
der straps cut from the border which
add largely to the effect, while cuffs
and collar are made to match. The
waist is finished with hens In place
of the usual box pleat, and there are
spaces between these hens and the
tucks which render 1t peculiarly well
adapted to the bordered materials.
The waist Is made with fronts and
back. 1t is tucked on exceptionally
becoming lines and the straps over
the shoulders are smart in the ex-
treme. The long sleeves are tucked
to fit the arms snugly at the lower
portion and are finished with straight
cuffs and there Is the favorite turn
over collar at the neck.

for the medium size is three and

! How Perfumes
: Are Made.

Glass sheets held by frames few
thickly with lard, and between these
sheets the freshly picked blossoms
are scattered, touching the frames
but not being pressed by them. In
one day the oil of the flowers exudes,
and the lard absorbs the precious
drops. II the flowers are plentiful
they may be changed every six hours,
and In the case of jonquils thirty
times; jasmine is usually changed
eighty times before the layers of lard
are entirely saturated. When the
lard has dissolved as mnch oil as
possible from the flowers, 1t is melted
and dissolved in purified alcohol made
from grain. When this mixture is
filtered, the concentrated extract may
be redissolved in spirits, diluted, or
mixed with other oils according to the
strength or quality desired.
Altar of roses and neroly, the base
of eau de cologne, are made by a diff
ferent method. The perfume may be
extracted by an ordinary process Of
distillation II very even heat is OBJ
tained, but the usual method Is the
bain-marie. A large kettle of lard Is
immersed in a tub of water at the
boiling point until the grease reaches
uniform temperature and is entirely
melted. Into this warm lard the
petals Of orange blossoms or of roses
are thrown. The petals remain day
or less In this bath, and then the in
odorous wilted flowers are removed
and fresh ones submerged until the
mixture attains the desired strength.
The women beat the mixture into a
cream. After the pomade is made,
the oil may be shipped in this state,
or distilled and sold in its concen-
trated form as altar of roses or
neroly, or diluted to the strength of
perfume" or eau de cologne.
Twenty thousand pounds of rose
petals are required to make one pound
of altar Of roses, valued at about
5000. A thousand pounds approxi-
mately of the petals of the bitter or
ange are necessary to make pound
of neroly, valued at $40 on an aver
age.-Jane Rosamond White, in The
World To-Day.

MISS" OR "MRS.?"

A number of unmarried English
women, who have reached an age
about which it would be ungenerous
to inquire too closely, have been COM
planning in the papers of the rule
that all married women shall be
called Mrs" and all unmarried wo-
men Miss" no matter what their
ages may be. They point out the
fact that boy. who is Master" in
his early life, becomes "Mr." by the
mere lapse of time, whether he mar
ries or not; but that of girl, who
begins as "Miss," continues to be
Miss" until she marries.
This is not always the case, as the
curious may discover by looking up
the history of Miss" Mrs" and
Mistress. The Engiishwomen main
tain that the title by which they are
called, as spinsters, is not conducive
to the Difference which is accorded to
married women, and which they de-
mand for themselves. The remedy
they propose-that all women be
called Mrs" after reaching the age
of forty-would be of doubtful eff
cacy. Men would 50 on calling their
women acquaintance Miss" unth

call Official notice that the age linn

cares whether she is called Miss" or
MRS." when her hair is turning. is

GARB OF THE ENGLISH.

Coats and skirts that might be
labeled "tailor made" but offer con-
spicuous examples of the new mean
ing of the old term, have appeared In
London, worn by Frenchwomen. An
English tailor has been moved to say:
"The Frenchwoman is the wisest
woman in the world on the question
of dress. / hope many of our English
customers will study her and be wise
also. Her chief wisdom lies in the
fact that she never buys an ill-fitting
coat or skirt. She will pay the high
est price and, therefore, gets the best
cut. To describe exactly wherein lies
the Frenchwoman's great charm Is
difficult. 1t may be her wonderful
intuitive knowledge of what to wear
and when to wear it,; 1t may be the
way she insists on having her clothes
cut. l have been working for twenty
years to induce Englishwomen to
have their coats and bodices cut with
deep and sloping shoulder seams.
They are just beginning to recognize
that this makes all the difference be-
tween a smart and a dowdy coat. y

EDUCATION FOR SPANISH GIRLS.
At the International Institute for
Girls in Spain-the work of Mrs.
Alice Gordon Gulick, which is now
established at Madrid-fifteen regu-
year, with also several day pupils.
OF the class graduated last June, five
in number, Senorita Carolina Marcial
holds appointment as instructor in
Spanish in Wellesley College. Ac-
cording to recent report from the
institute, urgent need is felt for fur
ther funds, at least $4,000, to COM
plete the Alice Gordon Gulick Me-
mortal Hall, and to make this build
ing ready for the carrying forward of
the broad education which was the
purpose of the founder of the insti.
tute.
Indicative of the attitude of Spain
toward a more liberal education of
its women is the recent address given
by Spanish official high in office,
who says: "The fundamental prob
lem for Spain at the present time is
pedagogical. All our pedagogy is
pure artifice. In Spain, more impor-
tance is given to the word than to the
idea, to the beauty of form than to
originality of thought, and so there
results an arrogant generation which
speaks what 1t does not know. More
than culture, the problem in Spain
is that of education. Educate the
mind that it may reason, that it may
many; let us bring from other ma
tions teachers and professors who
will help us in the resurrection of
our education. This is what other
nations have done, this is what we
ourselves did before any one else.
This is what that great Queen Isa-
bella did, in bringing foreign teachers
to educate her children, an example
which many of the mobiles followed.
Money which we spend for scholar
ships in foreign countries, for the
building Of schools and for other im-
provements, especially in the educa-
ton Of women, is not money thrown
away; it is seed that later on will
bear luxuriant fruit. New York

RUNNING TO COMPILATIONS.

Girls have been driven to the golf

embroidery frame and the piano stool
to climb ropes and disport themselves
