1t is quite evident from the models
exhibited in the shops that there has
been no diminution in the size Of the
muffs to be worn during the winter
season. They are still large, formed
of two and sometimes even three foxes
or OF innumerable skins of the small
sable and the still smaller ermine.
Teh very newest muffs are finished with
dangling heads and tails that almost
sweep the ground when the mun is

StoIes for the neck are made of chif-

match the muff. The part that lies

A LIVING SAINT.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

A LIVING SAINT.
living saint is as much a better
saint than a dead saint as life is bet
ter than death.
Miss Sophie Wright of New Orleans
is living saint-"St Sophie" they call
her
Miss Wright was born with a spe-
cies Of hip disease that has made her
cripple for life Every step she takes
is torture. and although she is
young woman in years her sufferings
have turned her hair snow white. Her
parents were poor and barely were
able to support her through high
school.
A life cripple, poor, without friends,
how could she earn living sainthoodi
She began teaching school. That
was twenty-five years ago when such
thing as a night school was unknown
in New Orleans.
One night a young man, a stranded
circus acrobat, came to her and said
he could get good job if only he
could read and write. Would she not
teach him?
She did, and that was the beginning
Of her night school. One by one the
pupils came for free instruction until
she was crowded out of her little home
into larger quarters.
Today as the outcome of Sophie
Wrights self sacrificing labors the
night schools Of New Orleans instruct
1000 pupils, and some of the leading
citizens have been educated in these
schools.
Miss Wright started private school
for girls which is very successful. She
makes her living by teaching in this
school all day and gives her evenings
to "her boys" in the night schools.
This crippled woman has built a
home for crippled children. She is the
main support Of the Home For Con-
valescents and scores of other chart
ties.
Every year the Picayune. a newspa-
per, gives loving cup to that citizen
who has done the greatest public good
for the city during the year Several
years ago Miss Wright was awarded
the cup. In it was check for $4,000,
subscribed by the people of New Or
leans to cancel debt she had as
sumed in making room for her night
schools.
Is it strange they should call her
'St. Sophie" or that she is also known
to the people as 1.-THE best citizen OF
New Orleans?'
She has effectually answered the age
/ long query respecting woman. what
can she do?" She is of that noble
company of women who are coming
into their own in this our day.
Sophie Wright, leading citizen OF
New Orleans"
And there are others-pIenty OF
| them.
