WOMAN'S WOULD. jrlEW PRtSIDENT OF THE NATlONAl COUNCIL OF WOMEN. In Woman a Cltlwaf - aornaW nirtli.laj rtv-"A TwenlirlhCentarr Oirl"-Cal-hoan'Sw-llnrt- Mrriirlnln TliM rr VMlrt M.lrt al K Coat. Tho election of Mr. Mary Lowe Dickinson a president of the National Council of Women reme the central office of thai body to New York city. Thin, it is conceded by majority of the member, will be decided advan tage in many material respects. Mr. Dickinson is in every way ad mirably suited to the uew honor thu MA ICY LOWE DICKINSON. thmst upon her. She has long been identified with tho must representative educational and philanthropic interests of the conntry. She is best known as the general sec retary of the organisation of the King's Daughters, which office she has held since the foundation of that order. Not louyj since she was made dean of the University of Denver. She is a skilled parliamentarian, a fine speaker and a cultivated aud appreciative wo man. In Woman a Oltlsea? The questiou just now agitatiug the women of Indiana is, Will we gain the right to vote? In the constitution of the Dnited States we find that to be senator a per son must have been a citizen of the United State nine years. The statute does not say "male inhabitant." Now what is to prevent woman from filling this office? Again, in the fourteenth amendment we find: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." Accord ing to the fifteenth amendment, the right of citizens of the United States ta vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or by any state, on account of race, color or previous condi tion of servitude. It seenis that if we are citizens, which we are according to the fourteenth amendment, the point is already gained, not only in Indiana, but in all of the states, and the next thing is to induce congress to enforce our rights to vote and hold office by ap propriate legislation, or prove to ns wo are not citizens. In all of our colleges, academies and even common schools we find girls gain ing higher per cents than boys of the same age, so it seems that the road is being paved for ns to prove our equality Jf not superiority overman intellectual ly. That we are morally has never been a question. That has been awarded us through all time. Physical endnrance is something of a stumbling block, but I think if the chance is given we will stand the strain of office seeking and holding as well as the sterner sex. If our right to citizenship is proved, there will dawn a new era politically, socially and financially. As mothers and wives we would broaden our range of vision, and with the intuition char acteristic of woman grasp the situation and be master of the field. I do not think we coold ever be dispensed with, and in five years men would be as strong advocates of woman suffrage as the earnest, loyal, patriotic women now en gaged in this movement The question would better be decided by the United States according to the constitution, thus gaining the whole at once simply by decision on the question. "Is woman a citizen?" It will be such a long time before the sum of the parts equal the whole if we only acquire suffrage state by state. Lizzie F. Atkinson in Chi cago Inter Ocean. SoroaU' Blrthdmy Party. Sorosis, as befitted an organization which has arrived at grandparental years and dignities, celebrated its twenty-seventh birthday on March 18 by gathering together its friends and descendants and feasting with them. Sorosis has long been known by the proud title of the mother of women's clubs, but it remained for Mra Mary Lowe Dickinson, the newly elected president of the National Council of Women, to call attention to the fact that the National Council, being the daughter of various clubs itself, made Sorosis a grandmother. The big ballroom at Sherry's, Thirty seventh street and Fifth avenue, New York, where the birthday party was given, was bright with daffodils and ferns, to say nothing of resplendent ar ray and smiling faces. There were num berless round tables, each seating eight persons, and one long table where the chief officers and guests sat On Mrs. Belmutb's right sat Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson, on her left Mrs. William 8. Bainsford. At this table were also Mrs. Florenoe Howe Hall, Miss Margaret Love, Miss Adele Fielde, Countess Oil da Rata, Mrs. Abbie Miller, Miss Maude panics.

" The other ofllcer were drawn up in lino hoforn the long table and had con ferred upon them the power and privi leges of their various oftlccs. Spiaf he, oiitr and recitation followed, and tho birthday partv broke npwith assurances of renewed eftort for the Rood and wel faro of woman. A Twentieth Century lrl." The sphere of woman' usefulness is constantly widening. We have had many tustaiieo of women becoming learned dix-tor and famous lawyers but until lately wo have seldom heard of a iiiooessful woman commercial traveler. Miss Klla Stewart, a modest, attractive and winsome young lady ot Cleveland, has leen on tho road for the past five years, and her effort have been attend ed with success. She is at present representing Rome (N. V.) company, the products of which concern include a largo variety of hard ware specialties of copper material. Her territory includes the states of New York and Pennsylvania, mid a portion of Ohio. Miss Stewart has been employed by tho company for about a year. She is exceedingly modest about speaking ot her work and the success that has at tended it. "Before 1 started on the road," she said, "I felt very sensitive about tho way iu which my departure from tho beatou track of women's work would bo received by the commercial men with whom I would be brought more or less iutocompetltion. I dreaded the nnssibilit v of oucouuteriug the sneer ing glances and remarks of commercial men. whom I thought would resent the intrusion of a woman into their ranks. But that is all past and gone now. I found that mv fears were unwarranted, for I never received anything but the most courteous treatment 1 like my work, and I feel that I am healthier and happier than I would be If tied down to office work." Hardware. Calhoun' Sweetheart, Tiiero is an old lady at the Louise home in Washington named Miss Hart ley Graham, who was a bello in South Carolina 60 years ago and was betrothed to John C. Calhoun when he was at the height of his prominence. But for some reason be married another woman, and she has remained a maiden to this day. She has a bracelet made of his hair, which was fashionable sort of keep sake in those days, and a daguerrotypa that he gave her shortly after they bo came engaged. She spent much of ber girlhood and her womanhood in Wash ington, where she knew Clay and Web ster and danced with Buchanan at the navy yard balls before anybody dreamed he would be president, writes the Wash ington correspondent of the Chicago Record. But in her jewel box, with oth er mementos, are several notes from Mrs. Cleveland, which she prizes more than anything else. The last one was dated a few days after the president's wife returned from Gray Gables last November, and it reads: Dear Miss Graham I have jnst pithrred throe flower at Woodier, and I thought I would send them to you thw morning a a re minder of my return. Yours sincerely. Fk ascks Cleveland. More Charming Than (nr. Mrs. Cleveland has never in her life lnnlreri ns beautiful and as happy as she does this season. At Mrs. Carlisle's re ception the other night one marveled when this woman would cease to grow charming, for every year she seems to have increased m loveliness, it may have been her gown, it may have been the new way in which she dresses her hair, but she certainly looked years younger than she did at the beginning of this administration, and her smile seemed brighter, fresher and more se ductive than ever. Her gown was made of spangled moire antique of a pinkish mauve shade, the orchid tint now so fashionable. The bodice was low, with high puffed short sleeves and dangling pearl strands trimming it A double strand of diamonds was woven into a coronet, and, while looking simple, she also looked superb. She had assumed position immediately under the large life size painting cf Mrs. Washington, and the pictore of this ancient lady seemed smiling npon the fairest of her successors. New York Telegram. Godet Skirt and Kdh Coat. The godet skirt will remain iu vogue, and the fashionable modistes are insert ing steels that reach up almost to the knee, setting them in the seams length wise to cause it to flare, writes Isabel A. Mallon in The Ladies' Home Jour nal. Facings that are light, and which at the same time stiffen are put in the back breadths quite up to the belt and in the front and side breadths to just above the knees. What are known as "knee coats," and which button across the bust, but are cut out at the throat and below the two buttons which fasten it, so that the fancy waistcoat shows, are much liked. Very often, if the waistcoat is detach able, three or four will accompany one gown, and then for a change, and, to be assumed in place of the waistcoat, there will be a loose silk shirt waist In the coat designs there is also a new cutaway coat which is only long enough to reach between the hip and the knee. This is generally becoming and very smart when developed either in broadcloth or mo hair. Sarah McLean Hardy.
