WOMAN'S WORLD." A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN'S EXCHANGE IN UPPER NEW YORK. CiTIm Chicago Temple Cn-opurattre IIoiim- lippplng Some Society Kxtic-u-ies Cusli Ions (iiilorc The Latest .Mourning l'atl. Mm I.lho AproiiK. Harlem 1ops not propose to bo out done Ly nuy other portion of the city. Its laicFt success is an exchange for Romans work, established on a very small bc.iIo two yearn n.a;o and now flonr lshin? boyoml the hopo of its incor porators. It is situated at Ko. -10 Vest fipno Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, has helped to a livelihood more than 000 t women, who proonuiy comu not nave i. ..i..i .t e :i 'i 1. . ,1 . i t WVVJKVli IfilLIlfU III 1111 UUIVr Wily ll)r 11 deals with n jcculiar clss of consignors. iWouiPii who make and cell fancy goods -anl domestic articles for "pin money" v'- aro rifddly denied the institution's bene- vrltts. 1 ho applicant must prove that she needs the money and that it means a material litrhteiiintr of the burden ehe bears. The proper committee investigates her case, and if she is deemed worthy she is given a consignor's privilege at the low rate of $2 a year. This will enable her to offer for ealo anything she can make and bring or neiid to tho exchange. If it is a salable article it is accepted and disposed of at tho fixed price by tho owner, lOporoent. commission being de ducted. For tho benefit of those who are Tinablo to pay even tho consignor's fee a very happy plan lias been adopted. Charitable women joining the society and paying an annual subscription of $5 become members of tho board of.mnna gers, and are each entitled to three con signor's tickets, which the give to those who are not ablo to purchase them. No names are attached to tho articles exhibited for sale, all being registered .and kept account of by tho bookkeeper. . Women in reduced circumstances, whose pride would forbid them making I a parade of poverty, are thus uno.stenta I tiously helped. Tliero aro two departments domestic Jind fancy. In tho former is a largo variety of bread, rolls, pie, cake, jelly, etc., sold at prices necessarily a little higher than those of tho Harlem baker ies. Tho fancy department contains embroidery and all kinds of handiwork, from a painted plaque to a baby's knit jacket. These articles aro sold at as nearly standard prices as possible, tho managers taking frequent jaunts through tho downtown stores to keep themselves informed as to charges. Orders are re ceived for sowing, knitting, etc., which are given to poor women. A teachers' directory and a directory of Harlem's boarding houses are connected with the exchange, and some intelligence office business is done on a limited scale the managers recommending servants of whoso abilities they have positive knowl edge. ' Four committees in plain sewing, embroidery and art, entertainments and domestic department have been select ed to superintend the routine work of tho exchange. These ladies, all residents -of Harlem, have shown a deep interest in tho undertaking, and to their efforts jits success is largely due. i The exchange is supported by sub scriptions, consignors' fees and the 10. per cent, commission on tho sale of arti-1 cles. The running expenses for rent, salaries, fuel, gas. printing and supplies are about $1,500 n year, a sum which is unpleasantly close to the not income. Occasionally a small amount is realized through some social entertainment for tho benefit of the cause. New York World. Tlin CIiIcxro Temple., The corner stono of tho Woman's Tem perance temple was laid Nov. 1 in Chi cago. The exercises opened by tho sing ing of "America" by a trained chorus of 2,000 children. Mrs. F. J. Thompson, "Mother of the Crusade," assisted by tho Rev. Florence Kollock, gave tho crusado psalm. This was followed by an invoca tion by tho' Rev. Dr. F. P. Goodwin, re sponsive Scriptural reading, led by Bishop Fellows, and the singing of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of tho Republic." Addresses wero delivered by Mrs. Mary T. Lathrop, tho Itov. H. A. Delano and Miss Frances 12. Willard. Mrs. Matilda B. Carse. who projected tho enterprise and is carrying it forward, gavo n brief outline of the plan and progress of tho work. Tho people then went to tho temple at Monroe and La Salle streets. After tho children had sung a song written by Miss Willard for tho occasion tho Rev. Ilerrick Johnson mltdo tho dedicatory prayer. Then with a silver trowel Mrs. Carse laid tho mor tar for tho corner stono and Miss Will ard smoothed it, whilo tho great chorus of children sang "Rise, Temple, Rise." The building is to bo in French Gothic Btylonndis to cost $1,100,000. It will bo thirteen stories, high, aud from tho center of tho Gothic turrets will spring an arch of gold bronzoseventy feet high, flurmonnted by tho figuro of a woman standing with outstretched hands and, upturned l'aco as if in prayer. Six hun dred thousand dollars' worth of stock has been 6old. Boston Woman's Jour nal. Co-operative IIonsfkejplngr. The experiment of the co-operative housekeeping organization which has been in operation in Kansas City has been watched with much interest, ns the organization of such a club has been heretofore mainly in ideal stories and Bellamy like books. Tho club is limited to fifty members, who elected their of ficers and a board of directors, with terms expiring in three, six nnd nine months. Mrs. W. J. Kupper was placed iu charge of tho house, and to her was given tho arranging of tho bill of fare. An assessment of 5.00 a week is levied upon each boarder, and is payablo every Monday morning. Mrs. Kuppor uses nil tho money col lected to supply tho table, and tho co operative method enables her to supply delic-tciea and a service equal to that ol the beet hotels for tho sum of twclv cents a meal. Thero aro thirty rooms and suites in tho house, nnd these Mrs. Kupper rents to such of tho members of tho club as desiro to livo under tho same roof, and a majority of them aro lodged there. As soon ;w a vacancy occurs a new name is vutV, upon. During tho few mouths that the club has been in exist ence not a day has passed that some ap plications have not been received. A committee investigates each applicant, and only the uames of the host people are considered. Thero aro in tho club ten married couples, and tho rest are mostly merchants and business men. No ladies are admitted unless as members of iamilies, and no extra moals tro served. Tho club was orjpuiized from ideas ad vanced by Bellamy and some other writers on s-.-ial questions, nnd is in every way a big success. It is probable that other clr.b.3 will bo organized horo during the winter. Kansas City Star. tsomo Society 1'vpense. It is eaid that a congressman cannot livo on lees th in $.1,000 a year in Wash ington. 1 happen to know that it costs a society rejiorter a nice round sum. 1 am as economical as I can be, but my expenses creep up in spito of me. In tho first place tliero is tho car and tho eab fare. Washington i3 a city of magnifi cent distances, and any ono who goes into society has to travel from ono end of it to tho other, over and over again, in making calls. I walk when I can, but I have to pay from $3 to $0 a week during the gay season in car fare. As to dress, thero is.another big item, though Washington has t-o many different peo ple from nil parts of tho world that ono can wear any sot of a decent gown and not be conspicuous. Then there aro tho gloves and tho shoes. One's hands and feet must bo well dressed whatever the rest of tho costumo may bo. 1 find that it always pays to wear good gloves. And then tho cards. Of course the lady correspond ent must use the engraved card, and what a lot of them it does take. Five hundred is nothing, and I know of some ladies who use man' thousands during the season, and Sir Julian Pauncefote once ordered 10,000 within two months. As the cheapest engraved cards cost a cent apiece this would represent $50 a month for cards alone. Of course I do not mean to say a society reporter needs any such number, but they cost enough. Miss Grundv's Letter. I Cushions tltilorn. Cushions seem to be tho perennial do light of the average woman. This is an age of cushions, and her soul rejoices in them. Tho saddle bag cushions still ex ist and are likely to, as they have hap pily solved the "tidy" problem. Those wretched things, abhorred by mankind, are gone, it is hoped, never to return. But having hung tho saddlo bags over tho bucks of our chairs, there must still be cushions galore for window seats, ! couches, corners, to fit in uncomfortable ' angles cushions unlimited and of every variety. The melon cushion looks rather pretty if it is well made, but tho acorn cushion is newer and is being shown at tho art shops. This, which is 'of course many times tho size of its forest proto type, has tho acorn of pale green silk and the cup of darker green, which is put on rather full and sowed down iu spots to givo tho raised, uneven look of nature. Another pretty combination of the acorn is reddish brown plush and pale yellow silk. A loop is sewed for tho stem to take hold by. These well defined shapes, however, cannot bo recommend ed a3 satisfactory for general wear. Plain, square, oblong, oval or round cushions last longer in every way, and can bo so different in material aud deco ration as to supply tho needed variety. Wluto silk cushions wrought in gold embroider' are used in very dainty apartments, but their delicacy hardly fits them for cushion service. Ex change. Tlin I. litest Mourning Pad, Of all the fashionablo fads of this great metropolis that accentuation of domestic grief which sliows itself in a black shirt, black collar and culls and white studs, white cuff buttons and white necktie is about tho most ridicu lous. Fashionable Now York will soon bo dining at Dehnonico'a and promenad ing Broadway with miniature coffins for jewelry and artificial tears painted on tho cheeks. It is doubtful whether such people could really shed any other kind but genuine hand painted tears. When women put their toddling children in deep mourning and rodo in the park with their poodles decked with crapo it seemed that this sort of thing could go no further. Now that men have taken to black shirts and sablo handkerchiefs, however, tho onus of tomfoolery is re moved from tho shoulders of woman kind. It is enough to make tho dead turn over in their graves and tear their Bhrouds to ribbons. New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch. Men l.ll:n Aprons. It is a funny thing, but nil men like nprons'. Thero is u (something house, wifely about them that suggests good dinners and sweet, considerato caro. Tho coquette thoroughly understands this, and every season finds her armed with an apron or two with which' she in tends to quell mankind. Tho latest ono is mado of mummy cloth, quite plain, and gathered in at tho waist to a broad Bash that is tied at tho back. At tho bottom aro bands of tcarlet, blue and j green ribbon, arranged just as are tho bands of color on tho apron of a Roman coutadina. No faint colors must be chosen, but just such healthy tones as tho dark haired, dark eyod Italian peas ant would select as becoming to her. Now York Suu. I'lurklnj; Tur!coy. To present a good appearance and commaud a good prico u dressed jtoul try, turkeys mint bo carefully handled, both boforo r-Jaughtoring and whilo tho feathers aro biug plucked. Much oth er wise good poultry is badly injured and made almost unsalable by reckless hand ling. Do not let boys who take caro of the birds drive them about with a stick or by shying stones at t'aom. After the turkeys aro hjlle.l hold them very care fully, not by squeezing tho carcass be tween the lnicos, whilo you pluck them. A turkey which has been carelessly injured, either beforo or after killing, will not prove profitable when it is mar keted, and the sign of ill treatment shown by dents and dir-colored spots in the naturally fat body will depreciate its value two or three cents iier pound enough to take away a considerable por tion of the profit. Poultry World. DuiiClitcrs of tlio Krvolutlnn. -Mrs. Harrison is president of the So ciety of the Daughters of tho Revolu tion, whose object is to secure and pre serve historical localities aud to erect thereon suitable monuments to the memory of tho men and women who helped to make tho Revolution and the constitution possible. Tho Daughters pro pose to, hold an annual gathering in honor of the discovery of America by Columbus, but their immediate occupa tion is to Focuro a worthy collection of Revolutionary and pro-Revolutionary relics, to be first shown at tho Chicago fair and then mado a permanent exhibi tion in Washington. Harper's Bazar. Women in Wall Street. The widow of 12. A. Pollard, tho his torian of tho Southern Confederacy, has opened in Wall street a broker's office for tho accommodation of women who deal in stocks. It is a curious fact that no woman who has opened a 6tock speculator's office has, as yet, been per manently successful. Some, like netty Green, havo been shrewd outsido buy ers aud mado money, but so far as 1 ! know, those who havo opened regular offices for stock transactions havo ono and all lost money and quit tho business. Perhaps this is, after all, a complinieut. to women in one way. New York Cor. Indianapolis News. Uoyalty Ineoj;. A very simply dressed and quiet young lady, who has been visiting Wiesbaden, Honiburg, Wildbad and Ems, and who was known as Miss Wolf or Miss Welsh to tho few people who took tho trouble to inquire about so unimportant a per son, has just been found out to bo the Princess Maud of Wales, and tho Mrs. Leo Hunters aro chagrined that the did not attempt to capture her retiring elderly chaperon, who was taken for an inconspicuous aunt, but who was really an important lady of the court sent to attend the princess. Berlin Letter. Wear No .Jewels A round the Neck. It is considered very bad form to wear jewels around the neck. Diamond riv ieres, ropes of pearls or strings of sap- I phires, rubies and emeralds aro placed "aiguillette fashion" on tho corsage, de- pending from the left shoulder. A charming parure, put into fashion by I Archduchess Valerie of Austria, is a 6et ! of diamond butterflies scattered all over the toilet, with a great, dazzling moth j hovering over tho soft curls on the fore I head and two huge jeweled dragonllies on tho shoulders. New York Tribune. Miss Windsor, an English lady and gifted musician who died recently in Bath, lequeathed tho family library to tho Royal College of Music hi London. Tho collection contains a nuimier of val uable operas, oratorios, cathedral and chime music, original scores and many works on the theory and history of music and musicians, together with autograph letters, honors and ducorationsof famous com posers. Tho school board at Cherokee, accord ing to a dispatch from Fort Dodge, la. announces that hereafter every teacher will be required to sign a contract not to get married during tho school year. They havo had much trouble over the resignation of teachers for matrimonial puqoses during the past year, and pro poso to obviate the difficulty in this way. Miss Frances' Power Cobbe, author of many books, and one of tho ablest of literary women, is at tho ago of 70 hard at work both as a writer and a reformer. Sho is full of health and vigor, which oho attributes to her simple diet and regular habits, and gives much time to tho Antivivisection society in London, of which sho is president. Fur boas aro already losing favor among London ladies, ono would fancy, from tho mnntor of advertisements con stantly appearing in tho papers of boas to bo sold by ladies for a email percentage of their actual cost. Ono in dark brown real Russian tail, ten feot long nnd very full and soft, was recently offered for less than $5. Flowers aro no longer worn on the corsage a3 of yore by elegantes. They are fastened in largo clusters on tho left hip, and aro intermingled with diamond dowdrops. A corresponding cluster nestles on tho very edgo of tho train on tho right sido. Violets, gardenias and hortensias are in great favor this year. Miss Louiso Lawson, of Albany, is a sculptor whoso work attests her talent. Sho has moro orders on hand than sho can execute m livo years, tno most im portant being a commission from the Albany board of public works for a stone fountain. Opera glass holders which can bo ad justed to any frame aro among tho nov cities of the soatKin.
