Vorty yesra ago the first national
"woman's rights convention wan held in
tins country, and recently a two days'
cwrentton in Boston commemorated its
.anniversary. It was a notable and well
improved occasion for reviewing the
"work that has been accomplished within
leas than half a ceutmj in uprooting the
yrqjudices of ages.
If the great man who nttered the
Hr" (reiterated for years by innumer
able little men) that all the literature a
' woman needed was a Bible and an al-
if he were alive now he would -jcobably
modify his opinion, or else
would have the grace to hold his tongue.
JSren in those old times, with all the
dds against them, women sometimes
tamed things topsy tuxvy, and the brains
of a family occasionally refused to run
in the proper masculine channel.
Many a good man, wedded to a meek
- -woman and holding all the orthodox be
lief in feminine inferiority, discovered to
Ids dismay, as the elder Thomas Tulliver
did, that his daughters had appropriated
the lion's share of the parental intellect,
and that he had a family of stupid boys
mad bright girls to account for. So
aauch the worse for the girls, when the
fceight of knowledge and achievement
Cor them was limited to the range of the
almanac and cook book.
Middle aged people can well remember
'when the name of the first and pluckiest
of the women's rights champions per
jsonally a pure and upright woman was
seldom heard except as coupled with
coarse jests and ribald rhymes. All that
is vastly different now. Woman suf
irage has not yet won the whole battle,
3nt its leaders have gained a good many
rights and a vast amount of respect.
ore than 800 honorable and lucrative
occupations are open to woman now
which forty years ago were to her closed
and doubly barred doors. Few are the
jositiona except political ones which
. a woman is not allowed to fill, if she has
ability and courage and strength enough.
It is almost a foregone conclusion that
the girls of a family shall hava as gener
maa an opportunity for education as the
-boys; in many families their educational
chances are longer and better.
The woman's rights agitation may not
have been the sole agent in bringing
about the great change in the condition
mt women in this country; but it would
be idle to claim that this once con
temned movement has not battered
down a host of ancient wrongs and hur
ried np the brighter times. There are
aome battles yet to be won, for legal
lights and political rights, but no one
can look backward over the past forty
years and see the change in the condi
tion and privileges and opportunities of
women without acknowledging the vast
wees of this peaceful and bloodless revo
lution. Springfield Homestead.
A Maiden Woman's Regret.
"I would never have been an old
maid," said a lady of 40, "if I bad
known as much twenty years ago as 1
know now. When I was at a marriage
able time of life I heard so much about
anmappy couples that I was afraid to be
come a wife. But I have looked around
in later times and have changed my
jaind on the subject. Last year I took
op a list of twenty wives of my acquaint
ance whom I had known before ' their
wedlock, and to whom I spoke about
. their experiences in life. I found that
fifteen of the twenty were happily mar
ried, that four of them got along toler
ably well with their husbands, and that
only one of them bewailed her matrimo
nial lot. The fifteen happy wives are
amiable women, fond of their children
and helpful to their husbands. About
the unhappy one of them I can only say
that sne is a grumbler married to a
growler, and would be unhappy anyhow.
and as to the other four the fault is not
all on one side. I suspect that ' the
twenty married women I have spoken of
are fair specimens of wives in general.
most of whom find by experience that it
ia marriage that makes life worth living.
s I myself am the soul of amiability, I
believe that I would have made a happy
marriage if I had not been frightened by
the stories that I heard twenty years
ago." New York Sun. .
A Craze for Pink and Yellow.
Pink and yellow are the colors of fash
was realm this seasen pink in enter
tainment, yellow in decoration. There
are any number of pink dinners, lunch
eons and teas. The menu, the ices, the
flowers, the gowns are all of this sweet
shade; there is averitable craze for the
color. Little lemon biscuit are threaded
together with pink ribbons, bonbons are
-done up in pink satin, the sorbet comes
in pink glasses and the ices are frozen in
the shape of pink roses. Ballrooms,
dining rooms and tea tables are draped
and decorated in yellow, green and white
or in gold and white alone.
A fad is to drape a tea table with white
and yellow gauze, with lamps, candles
and shades to match. Mrs. Qgdeu Mills'
ballroom, said to be the ' handsomest in
Xvw York, is done in white and gold.

having a beautiful balustrade of. bronze.

MtM Frye's DUoorerj.
One of the most valuable discoveries
ever patented for making patent tiles is
the property of a bright young woman.
Miss Frye, a school teacher, who will
. soon be able to desert the school room
and live on the royalty of her patent.
Just what this patent is the writer is not
-at liberty to tell, but hke everything
truly feminine it is lovely and simple.
It is something every male potter ha
been trying to discover for years a lost
art, in fact and every blessed man who
has seen it has, man like, exclaimed.
"What a bfankety feliot I was not to
have thought of it." You see, the only
thing to do was to think of it; the bal
ance was easy enough. However, no
body ever thought of it until Miss Fry
had the patent safe in her pocket, and
along with it a handsome fortune in
prospect and a competency for the pres
ent. Like all really studious and think
ing women Miss Frye is modest to a de
gree, and reticent as to herself and her
discovery.
There is also a fortune awarbng the
man who will rediscover the lost art of
producing the green, blue and red of the
ancients from copper. The first two col
ors can be got easily enough, but the last
is elusive. Will the "man who finds
this be a "woman" also? New York

Late Wrinkle i
A couple of elderly men were engaged
m conversation in rront or a leading
hotel the other day when a fashionably
dressed woman, who, from the several
small articles in her hands, evidently had
been shopping, approached. Suddenly
stopping in the midst of his talk, the
taller of the two men bent his head
down as if to catch some sound. " What's
the matterr" quickly inquired his com-.
panion. "Are you sick.' "no. anl
listen,"
As the lady swept past a soft, low,
rustling Bound was beard, like the crash
ing of soft silk in one's hand. It was a
pleasing sound.
"Wonder where that noise comes
from?" curiously inquired the short man,
hardly before the fair shopper had passed
out of earshot.
'Why," explained his friend, "it came
from that lady's skirt. It is woman's
latest fad a rustling skirt. This sound
is produced by a strip of some sort of
silk importation, and is put on the lower
edge of the underskirt. When the feet
touch it the noise is produced. It is a
European wrinkle. I was across the
water with my wife last summer, and
that's how I got to know about it. In
Paris and London it's all the craze.
Why, often over there I would watch
women walk on quiet spots by the hour
to hear that' soft, low, silken sound.

A Woman Theatrical Director.
Miss Elizabeth Marbury is the first
woman to engage in business as a the
atrical director, and she has met with
very marked success. She is descended
from a long line of lawyers on both
sides and highly accomplished. . She
first came before the public as a dra
matic critic and writer for the maga
zines. Two years ago Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett appointed her business
manager, and gave her the direction of
the play, "Little Lord Fauntleroy." She
has also charge of all Mrs. Burnett's lit
erary contracts. Not long ago she went
abroad, and was appointed by Sardou,
Bisson and other foreign dramatists to
look after their interests in America.
Miss Marbury's talents are varied. She
says of herself: "I think I have a 'flare'
tor judging ox tne merits or detects ot a
play, viewed from either the box office
or artistic standpoint, can rehearse com
panies, and have helped to physic plays
after a first night's performance, when
victory hung in the balance. While in
Europe I studied every mechanical, dra
matic and literary detail bearing upon
stage craft. I work because I ' love it;
and because I would rather live than
rust." Philadelphia Press.
One Woman Paid u Much aa Men.
In appointing Miss Byckman, the tal

man. to the position of "English master
of the London Collegiate institute the
trustees have taken a noteworthy depart
ure. Miss Byckman has the indorsa
tion of Principal Merchant, who' assured
the board that she was the best availa
ble teacher. She receives the same com
pensation as a man would have obtained
for performing the same task, and there
was no suggestion that because she was
a woman she should be discriminated
against. It will be well if the precedent
now established is not departed from.
By no construction of justice that we
know of can it be affirmed that a woman
doing as good work as a man should not
be awarded equal remuneration. The
day has surely gone by when sex should
be a barrier to preferment, all tilings be
ing equal. London (Out) Advertiser.

Ladies' day at the New York Athletic
club brings out such a bevy of pretty
girls that all the clubs are declaring that
they, too, must inaugurate a series of
ladies' days. The Bacquet club, which
is among the quietest and most exclusive,
will soon admit ladies to its new tennis
quarters. The Lotus club does not de
bar fair visitors. They have found their
way from time to time into the Knick
erbocker, the Fellowcraft and the Man
hattan Athletic clubs. And now staid,
quiet, exclusive old Union, is talking of
admitting women some afternoon,

DRESSING IN A COLD ROOM.
SmMwm Aoent CuCtlar Cp for
Those Wa Sleep in Cold Hunan
If there's anything wretched it's turn-
bling out of bed on a freezing winter's
morning, with the windows adorned
with frost pictures and your flesh adorned
with goose pimples all the time you are
dressing. Ifs unhealthy, too. I believe
that if properly collected the statistics of
those who have received lasting injury
from dressing in cold rooms would show
them to outnumber the grip sufferers
two to one. If possible, one should have
a warm room in which to dress. Sleep
ing in a cold room no one minds, unless
it is very little children. When one lives
at home it is often possible for several
members of the family to dress in the
family sitting room by relays. Without
any extra expense everybody is made
comfortable.
You can put on dressing gown and
slippers, throw your clothes over your
arm and run down to the warm room,
lock the doors and dress. By pinning a
a towel over your shoulders to protect
your dress, you can comb your hair
afterward in your own room, where,
fully dressed, you wont mind the cold.
I know a family of ten members who
used this plan of making the family sit
ting room the dressing room for several
years. Each member of the family had
his or her own particular ten minutes to
use the room, everybody was comfort
able, and there was considerable money
saving, for before adoption of this plan
a good deal of wood was used up in
making fires in the chambers on very
cold mornings.
If you are boarding, however, and can
not afford or do not wish to waste time
making a fire jost coddle yourself on
cold mornings and keep out of the cold
as much as you can. Take your stock
ings into bed with you, and when they
are warm put them on. Dress yourself
as quickly as possible, moving rapidly
to make the blood circulate. Always
put on shoes and stockings before step
ping on the floor. Your shoes may be
cold, but they won't give you such a
sudden chill as contact with the floor.
Besides, you have got to get into them
some time, and you are not obliged to
wear the floor.
Get some warm water to wash in if
possible. I know there is a great deal
said against washing in warm water,
but it is a better evil than making your
hands numb and your nose red in water
over which an ice film has formed. You
have no idea, either, unless you've tried
it, how nicely warm water will make
you feel on a cold morning. Home
maker. An Innovation in the Bridal
The innovation of having the brides
maids go down from the chancel to meet
the bride at the church threshold, which
Miss Bobbins introduced at her wedding,
is likely to become a popular one. Brides
maids have always suffered, no matter
how charming they may be, because they
usually precede the bride and are lost in
the halo of her interesting brilliancy.
At Grace church, however, the other day
it was possible to give to the train of
young women walking slowly the length
of the church the attention which their
beauty and grace justified. Said a man
afterward, speaking of this lovely retinue,
'They reminded me as they came down.
the aisle in the half light of the church
of the procession of the 'Daughters of
the Dawn, an effect which their delicate
pink draperies and veils, like the first
faint . blush of the morning, served to
heighten." When it is recalled that
Miss Amy Bend and Miss Sallia Hargons
were two of the ten, and that the other
eight were scarcely less beautiful than
these acknowledged -belles, his remark
does not seem extravagant. Her Point

A Kindly Act.
I saw her at the exposition. She was
slender and sweet and young; simply
clad, but with an unmistakable air of
elegance about her. She was carrying
an old, shabby umbrella and a heavy.
faded shawl, while close to her pressed a
rusty looking Irish woman, heavily laden
with children of all ages and descrip
tions. ' One was crying loudly and lustily,
and the young woman was smiling down
at him. Suddenly some one exclaimed in
a shocked tone, "Why, Bertha, who on
earth have you with you?" She turned
and answered simply, and without hesi
tation, "l don t Know; it is some poor
woman I am helping to find a seat."
And of all the beautiful things that 1
saw at the Portland exposition I thought
that young woman the most beautiful
and the most desirable. West Shore. -
