The RiQht To Earn.

Mrs. Wilton H. Losee of Kan
as city wants to put two hundred
thousand dollars into a college
for the training of housekeepers
and domestics, and thinks that
such a college will remove the
distaste for domestic labor: I'm
happily there is no kind of train.
inc that will remove the fact
that housekeeping is work, and
as long as women can earn more
at other kinds of work the dis
taste will remain, For, after all,
they have a right to be amblt-
ious.

GOLDEN NEEDLES.
They Were Used When 0aIIants n
France Did Fancy Work.


During the old regime in France,
about whicheso much glamour re-
mains to us, the very men who were
living and making the history of the
empire of Louis passed their leisure
time in a way that seems to us OF
today utterly ridiculous. In all the
fancy work on which ladies employ
ed themselves the men seem to have
taken part.
Poinsinet In one Of his comedies
represents q young marquis enter
ing q room where two fair damsels
are embroidering. One is working
q piece of dress trimming, the other
Marty flounce. The beau examines
Che embroidery with the eye Of a
eonnoisseur, points out here and
there the specially good touches and
h too polite to notice any defects
He takes a little gold tube out o.
the pocket OF his richly decorated
waistcoat and selects a dainty gold
needle. He goes to the frame at
which Cidalise is working and fin
ishes the flower which she had be-
gun. From her he moves to the
sofa and, eezing one end of the
founce, assists Ismene, to whom he
pays special attention, to complete
her task.
At this time it was the custom Of
the ladies invariably to carry their
workbags with them to the evening
receptions, in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
the last novel, the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots.
Gentlemen also, carried deftly en-
broidered little bags into company,
which held "a whole arsenal Of cut
lery and fancy articles, such :
boxes Of different shapes filled Wit
lozenges, bonbons, snuff and scent
At another period the fashion OF
the day was to cut out drawing
from books and pamphlets and to
paste them on screens, lamp shades
boxes and vases. The skill in this
was to so arrange the drawings OF
parts Of different drawings as te
produce curious or amusing ef-
feet. Then there came a season
when all the rage was for charades
and riddles, which gave peculiarly
good opportunity to exercise the
light and rapid wit so conspicuou,
in the French. Every evening the
i drawing rooms we're converted into
impromptu charades. Some lady
would suggest q word or phrase, anc
forthwith it would be converted into
, the subject of sprightly little play
Many Of The word games now cur
rent with us in America had thei,
origin in the necessity the Frencl
salons were under in the last cen
!, tury to divert themselves. In SONS
of the salons the fashion OF keep
} ing q daily chronicle Of news. whic'
was too often mere chronicle q
j. scandal, was adopted Nine. Do,
blet de PERSIAN issued bulletin
, which she called "nouvelles |,

} listers were kept, one of the authen
tic news received here and there b,

The RiQht To OSCuIdtG

A few eeks age 4 New Haven
magistrate fined young man and
woman for kissing each other In
the street. and more recently he
fined a young mar for throwing a
kiss to his sweetheart in his court
1t occurs to us that youths has
rights which the law is bound tC
respect. This magistrate Is
evidently soundless and the max
ers of the ordinances which con-
troll New Haven are not only that
but they create enactments
which are an affront to the laws
of the state and 10 human rights
and sympathies.
