' The fashionable woman has renounced
one of the pomps and vanities of the
"world in consigning her jewels to the
seclusion of their caskets. . But there
never was a time when they entered so
mnch into the construction of the pretty,
useful trifles with which she equips her
self. ... ..
First in rank are her hairpins, which
display the most exquisite workmanship
of the jeweler's art, and are studded with
valuable: jewels. For dressy occasions
jeweled combs set with five or six pre
cious stones of different kinds are worn.
Buckles assume special importance just'
now, and French women have exhumed
from their cases .the 'long -neglected
cameos, and had them mounted for clasps
to the various Tunic and Grecian drapery
effects now popular, or for fastening
loose robes at the waist. Large rings of
gold, studded with diamonds, are ' used
for the same purpose on full dress occa
sions. All the miscellaneous articles used
About the person pass through the hands
of the jeweler. The portemonnaie and
card case are embellished with gold or
silver ornaments not monograms, since
these are out of fashion but a crest or
coronet, a little flower, fly or fancy
scroll. Purses of chain gold are quite
the latest choice. Some of the hand
somest have small diamonds set here and
there, others have a tiny watch on top,
and still others are fringed with emerald
or garnet drops. The most novel form
of the gold chain purse is the old knitted
silk purse, reproduced in finely wrought
fold and girt by a couple of loops, dia
mond set. . - .
The pocket' mirror is another elegant
trinket, of gold, with a single large dia
mond in its sliding cover; the vinaigrette
is cylindrical in form, with a cabohon
top in polished stone; a gold walnut
shell for the pocket contains a powder
puff in one side and a tiny vinaigrette,
surrounded by a rack for pins, in the
other. Rings are worn in more generous
display than ever before, on the third
and fourth fingers of each hand, crowd
ing their brilliant stones to the very
knuckles. Turquoises are quite the rage
in Paris now on account of Bernhardt's
display of them in "Cleopatra." New
York Sun.
Gowns for the Princesses of Wales.
The young princesses of Wales are get
. . ting new shooting dresses, ' . walking
gowns, coats and other things. They
buy all their own clothes now. Until
quite recently everything had to be sub
mitted to. the princess herself. The
young ladies have a nice, quiet taste in
dress, and in the matter of fashions they
appear to follow their own bent, ignor
ing altogether many of the latest vaga
ries. They don't like the three-quarter
, length coats, and they are not going to
wear them. Their new coats are to be
cut only a trifle longer than those they
wore last winter. Two of these are in
tan colored cloth, tight fitting and dou
ble breasted. They are lightly trimmed
with otter and have high fur collars.
Two other coats made of the same cloth
are cut in the reefer shape.
The shooting dresses are the prettiest
J have seen this season. They are made
of a thick fawn cloth striped with faint
lines of light blue. The jaunty jackets
are open fronted, and have revers of
leather the same shade as the stripe in
the stuff. These are worn over white
- kerseymere waistcoats, also striped with
imea of blue. Princess Victoria has a
fine figure, long and slight. Two plain
walking dresses made of the Mar tartan
will be worn by the princesses when they
visit the Duchess of Fife. The jackets
of these were neat and of quite a simple
cut and fastened with two buttons. Sev
eral silk blouses in pretty colors had been
made for wearing at different times with
these. A silk front looks nicer under an
open jacket than a stiff, mannish, white
one. Pall Mall Gazette.
Women as Church Delegates.
What would become of churches with
out women? They are the keystone of
every creed in the civilized world: yet,
when it comes to officeholding and rep
resentation in conferences, theyare not
deemed worthy of the slightest recogni
tion 1
At last there is light in one direction.
Six hundred and ninety-nine Methodist
churches in thi country uave decided
by a majority of 62 per cerJL hat wom
en ought to be admitted a, delegates to
the general conference, and it is thought
that this popular vote will have great
weight in shaping future legislation. It
certainly ought.
Miss Frances E. Willard is not alone
in believing that the union of man and
woman in the administration of church
and state would redound to the benefit
of humanity. To leave women out of
the church is especially ungrateful, and
if the Methodists experience a change of
heart they will not only do right, but
double their power and efficiency. Kate
Field.
Sirs. Beere's Artistic Dressing;.
Mrs. Bernard Beere is considered the
most artistio dresser in all England.
She is taller than Bernhardt, very thin.
and has glorious brown hair, which she
powders with amber, gold or copper dust
to match the color of her dress. She af
fects golden hued brocade, which she
' elaborates with gold embroidery or gold
passementerie. Her neck is very long,
and Bhe delights in wearing an extremely
high spreading collar of woven gold and
mock jewels, which necessitates the ar
rangement of her beautiful hair on the
very top of her head. So deft is she in
treating her hair that you would declare
.-' it was -a. dozen colors instead of one.
.The effect is in no way the result of dye
or bleach.
- Mrs. Beere is an artistically beautiful

warm friend of Mme. Bernhardt, whose
plays she does in English, often with the
gifted Frenchwoman for an .adviser and
critic. Mrs. Beere it was who, at a
drawing room last season, ' appeared in
red, carrying a great bunch of wall flow:
ers in her hand. The next day all Lon
don was clamoring .for wall flowers.
Like the willowy Sara, she is perfectly
independent of corsets and never wears
them. London Letter.
Music at Weddings.
It is to be wondered at that the musio
of ' fashionable weddings is not made
more of a feature than it. is, A man at
the. organ, with Mendelssohn to go in
and Wagner . to . come out by, or vice
versa, seems to be the. Alpha and Omega
of the musical ambition of most brides.
Yet there is no moment in a woman's
life.or a man's either, when music is
more'suitable and effective than at the
ceremony which sees the public plight
ing of her troth. At Miss Conderf 8
wedding in this city recently the musio
was rendered by a stringed orchestra
and the organ, and was a most attractive
feature of the event ""People listened
delightedly as the almost human voices
of the violins swept through the great
church, and fairly forgot to crane their
necks for the bridal party under the
magic influence.
At Miss Telfairs wedding in Staten
Island the same week a most pleasing
novelty was introduced. ; Just before
the arrival of the bride, her aunt, Mrs.
C. C. Burr, sang with charming effect
Ricci's -My Heart with Joy Is Brim
ming O'er.' Nothing could have been
more in keeping with the occasion. Her

Cheap Mittens.
If a lady wants to make a good many
presents to poor people she cannot have.
$5 go farther than by buying cheap,
heavy flannel or other cloth and making
it up in mittens. Cut the piece for the
hand whole on one side, and cut a slit to
let the thumb piece in. It is easy to make
the patterns by marking around hands
of different sizes and allowing for seams.
Line the mittens or not as you choose.
Hem at the wrist, and .be sure to leave
the wrist wide enough to go over the
hand, or leave them open and button up
close. They may be ornamented a little
if desired by the giver, but will be thank
fully received by the barehanded child
or washerwoman without it. They are
good to hang out clothes in. An apron
with pockets for clothes pins goes well
with them. Pieces of cloth somewhat,
worn make good mittens. Odd pieces of
cloth, velvet and- flannel are serviceable,
and often ready at band to use. Cor.

.' Home Made Neck Wear.
Some young" women of my acquaint-.
ance are deeply shocked at the extrava
gant prices paid by young men for or
dinary silk ties. They affirm that excel
lent ties of first class silk can be made up
in the four-in-hand style, or, for that
matter, in any other fashion,' and sold at
a profit for fifty cents each. They pro-,
pose to have the girls of a free sewing
school go into the business, and I doubt
uot that all the men of their acquaintance
will presently be buying and wearing
these ties. I have noted one dangerous
symptom, however, and that is a disposi
tion on the part of young women advising
men . upon this subject to give riotous
freedom to a somewhat gay taste in colors.
In the scarf alone, they argue, is the
American man permitted to be gay, and
the consequence is this lamentable ten
dency to deck out the docile victim in
crimson and gold, New York Star.
The Sheriff's Nervy Wife.
W. D. Blanton, of Stephen ville, Tex.,
sonvicted of horse theft and granted a
new trial, was remanded to jail. One
day while Perkins, acting jailer in the
absence of Sheriff Shands, was feeding
the prisoners, Blanton, who had con
cealed himself in the run around and
provided himself with a loose stove leg,
made a break' for liberty, running Per
kins down stairs. Perkins fell as he ran,
and yelled out, "Look out! Blanton is
coming P
Mrs. Shands, wife of the sheriff, who
resides below, called to her daughters to
run and lock the doors, while she gath
ered the Winchester, threw a cartridge
in it and drew it upon the prisoner, who
cried out, "Mrs. Shands, don't be ex
cited." She replied, "Yon are the only
one excited. Hold upf and he held up and
was marched back. Cor. Fort Worth

- - Undulated Hair.
"Undulated hair" is about the latest
thing out. It will be much in vogue for
balls and special occasions, but it is even
more likely to spoil the hair than curl
ing. The undulator is an iron Rimilar
to that used for gentlemen's mustaches;
it takes about three-quarters of-an hour
to do, and hard or limp hair takes a
much longer time ta operate on success
fully than light, naturally curly hah.
With the latter style of hair the undula
tion will last fifteen to twenty days.
-Limp hair . requires the operation re-,
newed more constantly. But this style
only suits certain faces with irregular
features, and is ridiculous when adopted
by others. All the first class hairdress
ers now possess an undulator or hair
weaver, and some of them use with it a
curling wash or lotion. New Orleans
Times-Democrat. :
Draughts Not Dangerous.
; Now is the time of year when windows
are closed up to keep out draughts. Just
the contrary should be adopted. Where
the body is not overheated the draught
caused by the ordinary incoming of ail
will do infinitely less harm than the im
pure air caused by closed windows. The
way, to enjoy pure air in cold weather is
to turn on the heat when the room gets
cold, not shut up the windows. Heat
was invented for use. If the room be
comes too warm don't turn off the heat,
bat open the windows. By that means
person who knows anything about ven
tilation" can have" ah equable,' rammer-
like atmosphere about him all' winter
long.'' The necessity of open windows is
doubly apparent where tobacco smoking
is indulged in, as the smoke is dangerous
to the breathing' apparatus and makes it
liable - to pulmonic troubles. London

The Growth of a New Project.
... The Ladies' Guide and Chaperon bu
reau, opened in .New York last winter,
has found so much work on its hands
that it is now on the brink of resolving
itself into a stock company, and using
its capital to fit a house and add . to its
functions some of those originated by
the Ladies' Guide association in London,
such as opening dressing rooms to wom
en" from put of town who wish to array
themselves for reception or theatre, and
lodgings to women, traveling alone, who
are refused accommodation under" the
mediaeval regulations in vogue at some
of the hotels. The bureau finds one of
its most successful features the sending
out women .to assist timid entertainers
in dinner serving. New York Letter.
' Unpopular Empress Frederick..
The Empress Frederick has excited the
clamorous protests of her son's subjects
by commissioning a London firm of up
holsterers to docorate and partly furnish
the future residence of Princess Victoria
at Bonn. ' It is certainly a strange belise
on the part of the empress, whodid ex
actly, the same thing when the Schloss
of Charlottenburg was redecorated dur
ing her husband's brief reign. What a
general roar of execration would have
been excited in England if the -Prince
Consort had sent for Germans to decorate
any of the royal palaces. Londou Truth.
A Wealthy School Ma'am.
: One of the queer things noticed in this
metropolitan town is the sight of a
young lady teacher in a public school
who is driven to the school door daily in
her own victoria, with blooded horses
and a liveried coachman. The young
lady, too, is an excellent, faithful teach
er, and earns her salary as fully as do
any of those dependent upon it for
bread. She is the daughter of Lawson
N. Fuller, and teaches in the new gram
mar school at One Hundred and Thirty
fourth street and Lenox avenue. New

Women's Work In San Francisco.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper is the inspira
tion of the Golden Gate Kindergarten
association. In the last report she states
that 6,000 little children have been en
rolled in San Francisco since 1880, and
$100,000 spent on the little ones in whom
lies the hope of the world. One of the
schools is controlled by Miss MarwedeL
whose classes are made up entirely of
the stray children and waifs, between 3
and 10 years, picked out of the gutters
and alleys of San Francisco. San Fran

,. Women In the Synagogue.
; Miss Ray Frank is one of the first
Jewesses to preach, in the synagogue in
modern times, for, notwithstanding the
fact that Miriam and Deborah preached
to women, and Huldah preached to men
as well, the- prejudice against women
preachers is greater among the Jews
than in apy other congregation. Even
female choristers are not allowed in the
orthodox synagogue. Boston Transcript.
Mrs. Vicken, a member of an English
woman's bicycle club, has won a road
race against a team of men riders in a
race of nineteen miles, which she accom
plished in one hour and forty minutes.
Another wonderful English rider. Miss
Fordham, has ridden a safety 1,900
miles, at a rate of seventy-six miles a
day, during the season, and hopes to
accomplish 3,000 miles before the season
closes.
Gloves for evening wear again match
in tone the prevailing color of the gown.
They are very long, in most cases cover

on the back of the hand and about the
wrist with beads and silk. . Stockings also
harmonize with the rest of the costume.
Gloves and stockings are bought in sets
in all the desirable evening shades.

Miss Carrie L. Horton, a pretty apple

purchase of one of the most magnificent

The price demanded is $600,000, which is
not considered excessive, in view of the
fact that the house is one of the most
superb in Paris.
