WOMAN'S WORM). ARDENT DlSCIFLES OF WOMAN'S RIGHTS IN FRANCE. Natlaaal Connrtl of Women-fcra of the Filthy tilove internal Mtaeea of Thing. Camilla Collet A 1'lurl.j Woman 1 lr enoe Khrhlltirale Seventy-Are. Frenchwomen of I ho present day ore no loncor satisfied with ruore.y being al lowed into tho pnx-im-ts of the house of deputies. They demand rights or graver uatuiv, and the deputies of Ihe last decade of tho iiinotoontn century ar now considering their demands. Such women a Mini's. IVtonie-Pierre. Maria Martin, Marin Pognoii-Coutaut demand rights that shall place them on level footing with men, and t Uojr hv fit 1 "jfini:; UMK. rOTOXIK-PtEllUB. succeeded so fiir in enlisting iu thoit cause many prominent deputies who have formed tho parliamentary group of "woman's right " To tell tho truth, there are not many women iu Franco today who take very great interest in the question of woman's right But if there is not quantity there is quality At tho present day the most anient disciples are Mme. Potonie-Pierre aud Mme. Maria Martin. Those two ladies, with Mme, Bogelot, who attended the women's congress at the World's Colnru bian exposition, walk iu the footsteps of Maria Doraimes, to whom they were ever most devoted. They are the correspondents of many of the organizations of women, both in the United Urates and in England. Mme. Potonie-Pierre is secretary of the leading French organization of women. La Solidarite des Femiues, and also of the French branch of the Universal and International Ulrica of the Women of England. Mme. Maria Martin is now the edi tor of the only newspaper published in the interests of women in France, Le Journal des Femmes, after having at tained the unique position of being edi tor of a political journal strongly de voted to the interests of her own sex. During the last three mouths of the year 1894 women took a great strido iu advance. After repeated demands made by the women to the deputies a meeting was finally organized aud a parliamen tary group formed. The majority of the socialist members at once joined the group, and many, without a moment's hesitation, expressed themselves willing to indorse the most radical demauds of the programme presented by the women. The women demand a favorable vote in the chamber of deputies on the prop osition of a law giving all women of age and not deprived of their civil rights the right to act as a witness on all cer tificates and civil documents. They also claim the nomination of a committee of 44 members to reconsider and reform the entire civil code, and especially to modify article 8, which says that every Frenchman shall be possessed of civil rights, making it read, "Every person, without distinction of sex, shall be pos sessed of civil rights. " National Council of Women. The National Council of Women is one of the grandest and largest organiza tions of women that the world has ever known. Its very being and the possibil ity of its creation marks an era in the world's history. At its last convention in Washington a few mouths since there were gathered the most eminent women of the land, together with delegates front every civilized country. The council has a paid membership of 700,000 members, and there are proba bilities of it becoming more potent than even the political conventions of men in its direction of affairs which touch upon the family and the state. This immense organization is describ ed at length in Peterson's Magazine by Margherita Arlina Haniui, who is editor of its woman's department She tells of the method of organization of the rules and governing forces, tho personalities which have made all centralize and har monize for one prevailing object Some of the famous women spoken of are Mary Lowe Dickinson, May Wright SewalL Elizabeth Cady Stautou. Susan B. Anthony, Lillie Devereux Blake, Carrie Lane Chapman Catt, Har riet Keyser, Alary C. Francis, Ellen Battele Dietrick, Ida M. Rew, Mme. Eva Alberti, Cynthia M. Westover, Em ma Cranmer, Lady Henry Somerset, Elizabeth Grannis, Marianna Chapman, Sarah Cooper, Frances Wiliard, Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, Rev. Carrie Bart lett, Mrs. Holbrook, LL. B., Cornelia K. Hood, LL. B., Rev. Ida C. Hnltin, Dr. Julia Holmes Smith, Dr. Marie Strickland, Dr. Mary Green and Alice Stone BlackwelL The best types of the members are ar ranged in classes according to their pro fessions, philanthropies or work. The article is a memorial to woman's energy and growing importance. Era of tha Filthy Clove. This season might be not inaptly de scribed as the era of the filthy glove. At matinees, receptions church, in the street cars and stages swarms of well dressed women display hand covering go dirty as to be as disgusting to a per son of refined taste as soiled fingers. Among a hundred fashionably dressed women picked out t rnudom ttt any daytime function there will in bo more than live mr of spot loss white glove Women could not K indui-ed t wear dirty white lace bonnets, nor cany soil ed handkerchiefs or dirty visiting card, or wear dirt Is-grinied collar or cuff. Are dilty 1 ght glove whit da utter more presentable than any of the objects named? Fashion having vrcod w hite glove tc be cu rigurur, tho lady from the suburb an disiriets must also don them w hen shr come into town for the day' shopping And she is to lo soon on the avenue in full elms after bargain. her appropriate cloth costume disfigured by the dirty white glove which loudly proclaim her lack of refined taste or even of common place clean lines. Put then she and the town lady belong to the sex that in the preceding generutiou, according to the chronicle, eugapsl iu amateur street weeping, substituting "trains" for brooms, and that carried a miscellaneous assortment of rarely if ever cleaned rats" on the head. The dirty gloves are. It must tx couiossou, nil improve- ment on either of the foregoing, und in the unices of time these offender against gnnl taste may come to ncknowl- I edge that daintiness ought to stand first in a woman calendar or social graces. Vogue. Fternal Fltneaa of Tltlnff. It has boon interesting to watch the gradual way in which woman's dress has "lived up to the big sleeves, whose advent two years ago was a startling in novation. Cu)) promptly succeeded jacket when the fashion became pro liounccd. modistes and arbiters realizing that it w as asking too much of tho aver age jacket sleeve to ie rospon.Miuo lor the hiding of such a mas of dress sleeve. The skirts were the next parts of the costume to adapt themselves to w idth aud volnminimsnes a necessary con cession, as tho K'U skirt, with the bal loon sleeves, was little short of gro tesque. Bonnets then doffed their height and took unto themselves width, pre serving tho equilibrium of the outfit, aud the crash collar and belts udded "ears" and "wings" to their effect. Shoes have remained pointed, though they should have flared, but liurasols have grown fitiffy and flat to partake of the general trend of belongings. Finally tho motif has entered bou quets. Tho very newest thing at the florists' are the butterfly bouquets, wide, shallow affairs, with spreading liow or wings of lilies, or what you will, and a center of some other flower. Roses are effective flanked with lilies, daffodils, with white sweet ieas or violets bunch ed on each side of an Easter lily, camel lia or light huod ros. Loops of ribbon fall from the center of these butterfly bunches, which bid fair to temiKirarily at least dethrone the opul;ir showei bouquet. New Vork Times. Camilla toilet. Camilla Collet, the eminent Scandi navian writer who ha just died, was u strong advocate of equal rights for wo men. It is saiil that no private jx-rson in Scandinavia and northern Europe, with the exception of Fredrika Bremer, h:is done so much to raise the resjiect for the uorthern woman and her person ality. Camilla was the daughter of one of Norway's most remarkable men, the leader of the early' Norwegian independ ence movement and sister to the ioet Henrik Vergeland. In JS41 she mar ried the prominent Norwegian jurist, P. J. Collet, and ten years later Iweame a widow. Iu 1S53 her novel, "The Amt man's Daughters," made her famous. Like all her succeeding works, it advo cated enlarged opportunities for women. It made a great sensation. Both Ibsen and Tolstoi declare that they were indebted to her for many ideas and suggestions. From a purely literary point of view, her works are highly praised. The esteem in which tho old authoress wan held was shown by the great demonstration in Christiania two years ago on her eightieth birthday. In this festival it is said that a thousand women, representing every nationality, took part.and representatives from many of the learned, literary and political so cieties of Europe attended. Few women not of royal blood have ever been the ob ject of so cosmopolitan a celebration. Mme. Collet leaves four sons, all promi nent in Norwegian affairs. A Convenient Work Table. A pretty work table, with a compart ment top, had a deep bag of old gold den im attached to its lower, hollow drawer. These tables come in plain wood and can be enameled or stained to match any furnishings. A Plucky Woman. Miss Nannie Robinson, aged about 20 years, since the death of her father, George Robinson, last fall, has been run ning their farm, on Back Oak ridge, six miles north of Hancock, and a sawmiU besides. She is assisted only by her brother Char le, "god eixmt 18 year. About nine month ago her father, moth r mid ulster. U-tilirt. eviiooll cachet atsmt If year of ago, were all stricken with tvuhoid fever. Tho father and daughter died within it few day of ouch other. The mother I still lingering, and is in tho constant care of Allie, the old st d.ii!i:lil r.

Ht'Trnty-Dr. Oil the l."th day of May Florence Nightingalo celebrate her seventy tlfth birthday a great it woman and a great a public U-nefactor and a much of it heroine as she was -40 years ago. when she went forth from her comfortable homo in England, not a a mere nurse to attendto the wants of tho wounded and dying British soldiers in thot'ii-nie.-t, bit as a fearless organizer of a great Held hospital system, which tho British war office authorities, staff offi cer and generals had lookiHl umiii a a inert) matter of afterthought in tho pre liminary arrangement of one of tho most dihleult cauiiiigii in the history of the civilized world. writes I it H.iy 'Florence Night Gardner in a sketch of ingale at Seventy-five" in The Ladies' Home .bmriial. No one had thought of the physical sufferings which would have to 1m un dergone by the brave soldiers who were sent out with the prosptvl of a long win ter campaign I1 fore them, without any adiMiuate hospital nmingemetit havinit Ut-n made. Wluu the great mistake was realized, it was a woman who came for ward to rectify the terrible blunder, and it may easily W imagined that obstacles were thrown in her way. Hut public opinion "as soon aroused, and when Miss Florence Nightingale arrived at the Crimea with her band of nurses she had thevhole British people ttt her back. tliu. Itrjan' Vril It is all v;-ry well to talk of the un failing chic of the Parisienne, but I think the purple veil Mine. Rejaiiowor in the street here recently was simply hideous. The worst of it is that several women have already adopted it ami are going about liking as if they were in the last stages of jaundice because of it, all tho while flattering themselves that they are being very French and extreme ly fashionable. There is one fashion, how ever, which Mme. Rejane, in common with the rest of her country women, pos sesses which ought to be adopted by ev ery American woman. It i the habit of weariufprnporly cared for boots and ir reproachable skirt bindings. An Ameri can dresses f;-om the head down, the Parisienne from the foot up. Washing ton Post. jerniHn lrgTr to a Woman. Miss (irace Chisholm, an English wo man, h.fe ju.it taken the degree of phi losophy at the University of (iottingen, .with the express jieriuission of tho Prus sian minister of education. This is the first degree ever taken by awoman at Gottingen since it became a university. The emiieror ha hitherto opjHised the udmission of ladies to the imperial universities, and it is supposed that the conferring of the degree npoii Miss Chisholm indicates a change of jkjI icy in regard to tho higher education of women. Berlin Dispatch. y A llony Invalid. Mrs. Stewart, wife of Hon. Gideon T. Stewart of Norwalk, O., although un invalid for many years, is interested in all suffrage and temjierance work, and manyY'f the meetings are held in her large parlors. She not only lexiks after her household, but also has a large farm under her direct supervision. Battleball. The feminine version of football as played at Boston university and called "battleball" seems a fit counterpart foi the genuine article. A dislocated finger, another finger sprained, a chandelier broken and a glass door cracked in th first game make a noble record. Boston Journal. 1 Women School Trnnle. The commissioners of the District of Columbia have just appointed two wom en school trustees! Mrs. Lonise Reed Stowell and Mrs. Miiry Church TerrelL Both are college graduates, one from the University of Michigan and the other from Oberlin college. Some iParisian women are wearing hand painted gowns. One in which a well known leader of fashion in that cityVippeared was a dull white silk aud had over the flaring skirt large painted baskets loaded with flowers. This season three is the mystical num ber. Feathers come in bunches of three, and sometimes there are three shades in tho bunch. Flowers are grouped in threes, and the hat often has the brim arranged in three plaits. The Knickerbocker Cycling club of Chicago have adopted divided skirts and make excursions from their clubhouse in the novel costume. The New York senate confirmed the appointment of Miss Anthony as one of the trustees of the state industrial school ut Rochester. .

I asked her to excuse me a moment, and without waiting for u reply rushed across the nxnn toward the door. I thought to myself that if 1 once got on the outside I would never attend another 'swell dance' in Kentucky. "I had got within a few feet of the door when mi old woman rail up nnd threw her nrms uround my neck. She yelled out that I was her lost son, who ran away from homo 400 year ago, when I was a mere child. I tried to tear myself away from the woman, and she fainted ut my feet. I mado a dart for the door, anil when I reached the thresh old I ltxikod back and saw several per sons carrying her olT tho floor. I was dazed. I expected to be arrested every moment. I saw a man outside and asked him if there was not a train leaving that place soon. He said there would be one going to Louisville in about nn hour, and I concluded to wait around tho lit tie station until it was ready to leave. 1 do not remember to have ever heard a more welcome sound than the whistle of that train, after spending an hour in silent misery. I reached my hotel in this city shortly after midnight, but could not sleep. I had learned on tho train that I had been to an insane asylum ball, and I was aH mud as a hornet.

The Bookman tells a story of Mr. F. Cope Whitehouso, who recently sixint five year in Europe. Ho had been long in conflict with both British and Egyp tian authorities on the question of irri gating a certain district and found them almost equally conservative. Afler a time he met Lord Cromer, just arrived in the country, and was received with a chilling coolness. "I really cannot go into these matters with you," said Lord Cromer, "because I hear that you treated my predecessor with great discourtesy. " "Discourtesy? Discourtesy of what nature?" "Oh, I am informed that you accused him of er in fact, that you insinuated he was nntrnthfuL " "I? Oh, dear me, no !
