A Million Woman's Kocrct A Crane fur I'lnk and Vrllow Vroy't Late Wrinkle lu Ilrmsvn A Woman Theatrical Director. Forty years ago tho first national womau's rights convpiition wax held in , this country, and recently a two days' convention iu Boston commemorated its anniversary. It was a notable and well improved occasion for reviewing the work that has been accomplished within less than half a century in uprooting tho prejudices of ages. Jf the great man who uttered tho dictum (reiterated for years by innumer-able little men) that all the literature a woman needed was a Bible and an a-lmanacif he were alive now he would probably modify his opinion, or else would have tho grace to hold bis tongue. Even in those old times, with all tho odds uaint them, women sometimes turned tilings topsy turvy, and the brains of a family occasionally refused to run in the proper masculine channel. Many a goud man, wedded to a meek woman ami holding :dl the orthodox be-lief in l'eminine inferiority, discovered to his dismay, as the elder Thomas Tulliver did, that liis daughters had appropriated the lion's share of the parental intellect, and that he had a family of stupid boys und bright girls to account for. So much the wor.--e for the girls, when tho height of knowledge and Achievement ior them was limited to the range of tho ahnanae and cook book. Middle aged people can well remember when Ilia name of the first and pluckiest of tho women's rights champions per-sonally 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-frage has not yet won tho whole battle, but its leaders have gained a good many rights and a vast amount of respect. More than u00 honorable ami lucrative occupations are open to woman now which forty years ago were to her closed and doubly barred doors. Few are tl it positiotii except political ones which a wot.ian is not allowed to fill, if she 1ms ability and courage and strength enough. It is aluiOft. a foregone conclusion that The girls of a family shall have as gener-ous un opportunity for education as the boys; iu many families their educational chances are longer and better. ' The woman's rights agitation may not have bei n the pole agent in bringing about tiie great change in the condition of women in this country; but it would bo idle to claim that this once con-temned movement has not bait'-re-down a hust of ancient wrongs and hur-ried up tlio brighter times. There are some battles yet to be. won, for legal rights and political rights, but no one can look backward over tho past forty years and see the change in the condi-tion and privileges and opportunities of women without acknowledging the vast-ues- s of this peaceful and bloodless revo-lution. bpringficld Homestead. A Maiden Woman's Regret "l would never have been an old maid," said a lady of 40, I had known as much tweuty years ago as I know now. When 1 was tit a inarriage-bl- a time of life I heard fo ranch about MBUMII limw --IMTIllinililMMlMim unhappy couples that I was afraid to be-- I como a wife. Hut I have looked around in later times and have changed my uiind on the subject. Last year 1 took up a list of twenty wives of my acquaint-ance whom 1 had known Wore their wedlock, and to whom I spoke about their experiences in life. 1 found that fifteen of the twenty were hapjiily 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 she is a grumbler married to a growler, and would be unhappy anyhow, and as to the other four tho fault is not all on one side. I suspect that the twenty married women 1 have spoken of aro fair specimens of wives in general, most of whom tiud by exerience that it is marriage that makes life worth living. As I myself am the soul of amiability, I believe that 1 would have made n happy marriage if I had not been frightened by tho stories that I heard tweuty years ago." Xew York Sun. A Crar.e tor I'ink and Yellow. Pink and yellow aru tho colors of fash-ion's realm this seasen pink in enter-tainment, yellow in decoration. There are any number of pink dinners, lunch-eons and teas. Tho menu, the ices, the flowers, tiie go.v us aro all of this sweet shade; there is a veritable craze for the color. Littlo lemon biscuit are threaded together with pink ribbons, bonbons are done up in pink satin, the sorbet comes in pink glasses and tho ices are frozen in the shape of pink roses. Ballrooms, dining rooms and ten tables are draped and decorated in yellow, green and wliito or in gold and white.alony. A fad is to drape a tea table with white and yellow gauze, with lamps, caudles and shades to match. Mrs. Ogdeu Mills' ballroom, said to lie the handsomest in Now York, is done in white and gold; the hall is of white marble, the stairs having a beautiful balustrade of bronze. Yellow gowns are very much worn, es-pecially by blondes, who have at last learned that they look better in this color and in pink and scarlet than in the ever-lasting baby blues they have so long affected, and iu which they apjieared washed out and faded. New York Let-ter. . Mix Frye' Discovery. One cf the most valuable discoveries ever patented for making patent tiles is the property of a bright young woman. Miss Fi ve, a school teacher, who will soon be able to desert t he school room and live on the royalty of her patent. Just what this patent is the writer is not at liberty to tell, but like everything truly feminine it is lovely and simple. It is something every male jxitter lias been trying to discover for years a lost i art, in fact and every blessed man who has seen it lias, man like, exclaimed, "What a blankety idiot I was not to j 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 Frye j had the patent safe in her pocket, mid along with it a handsome fortune in prospect and a competency for the pres-- eut. 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 awaiting the man who will rediscover the lout art of II 111111 1HUII I Hill 1111 II 1 ill IIIMMIIIWHI producing the green, oiuo and red of the ancients from copper. The first two col-ors can to got easily enough, but the last is elusive. Will the "man" who finds this be a "woman" also? New Y'ork World. .I.ate Wrinkle in liremtpa. A couide of elderly men were engaged in conversation in front of 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 tho midst of his talk, tho taller of tho two men bent his head down as if to catch somesound. " What's tho matter?" quickly inquired his com-panion. "Aro you sick?" "No. Sh! listen." As the lady swept past a soft, low, rustling sound was heard, like thecrtisli-in- g of soft silk in one's hand. It was a pleasing sound. "Wonder where that noise comes from?'' curiously inquired tho short man, hardly before the fair shopper bad 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 noiso is produced. It is a European wrinkle. I was across tho 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 tho hour to hear that soft, low, silken sound. Philadelphia Press. A Woman Theatrical Director. Miss Elizabeth Marbury is tho 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 (or the maga-zines. Two years ago Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett appointed her business manager, and gave htr tho direction of the play, "Littlo 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 ' talents are varied. She says of herself: "I think I have a 'flare' for judging of the merits or defects of a play, viewed from either the box office or artistic standpoint, can rehearse com-panies, and have helped to physio plays after a first night's performance, when victory hung in the balance. While in Eur ope I studied every mechanical, dra-matic and literary detail bearing upon stage craft. I work becauso I love itj and because I would rather live than rust." Philadelphia Press. One Woman Paid a Much a Men. Iu appointing Miss Iiyckman, tho tid-ent-daughter of the Rev. Dr. Iiyck-man, to the position of "English master" of tho London Collegiate institute the trustees have taken a noteworthy depart-ure. Miss Iiyckman has tiie indorsa-tion of Principal Merchant, who assured the board that she was the best availa-ble teacher. She receives tiie 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 lie discriminated ai:ailuit. It will be well if tho urucedent now established is not departed from. By no construction of justice that we know of can it lie affirmed that a woman doing as good work as a man should not be awarded equal remuneration. The day has surely gofie by when sex should be a barrier to preferment, all things be-- ! ing equal. Londim (Out.) Advertiser. IfequPKt for Women. Mrs. Eleanor J. W. Baker, whose hus-band was Walter Baker, the chocolate manufacturer, has just died. She left leg;'ies to many benevolent societies and institutions, among which we are glad to see that those for women aro not forgotten. The Woman's Union society, New Y'ork, receives $15,- - (100; Wellesley college, $!),0O0; the Worn- - an's Board of Missions, o,U00; the New England Hospital for Women and Chil-dren, 1(4.000; the Boston Young Wom-en's Christian association, the Boston Free Hospital for Women, $1,000, and tiie Massachusetts Home for Women, $2,000. Much money ' is also left to institutions. Woman's Journal. Can't Do Without Them. 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. Tho Racquet 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, if they go in their Sunday best and don't ask to stay to tea. New York World. A Woman School Superintendent. The Waco (Tex.) school board is com-posed of progressive men. They be-lieve in women as educators. This is clearly evinced by the fact that they elected Mrs. W. D. House as city their public schools. There-upon soino of tho gentleman professors retv gned. It is said, however, to the honor of Mrs. Honse, that she fills tho position in a highly satisfactory manner, and ts credit upon the action of the lxiard whose judgment placed her in this of-ficial position. All who have taught under her regime regard her as an ef-ficient superintendent, kind and helpful to the teachers, by whom she is greatly beloved. Woman's Chronicle. j Rklrt for Spring Wear. Iror the spring, skirts will retain the close sheath shape which has won its way to popularity in the face of much opposition. Tho skirt is a trifle too long for convenience for street toilets. When needful, a tiny cushion bustle is fewed in the waist, hut it must not be apparent; in many skirts a short steel is run in about half way down, to support and spread the fan plaits. Petticoats of very light flexible horse hair are an-nounced for tho summer. With the lengthening of skirts has come the ne- - cessity for devising some means of lift-ing a house skirt for comfortable walk-ing on the street. One device is a metal chain or silk cord which encircles the waist, and which, passing through a sliding knot, has a clamp to hold the skirt at each end, the clamp being lined with rnblier so as not to mar the fabric. Raymond's Paris Letter, i To Prevent Slang. An anti-slan- g society was formed by a company of young ladies in this city about a fortnight ago. The fine for each slang word used is one cent, and the funds raised are given to the South Fjiid mission school. The cost to the members at first averaged about twenty-fiv- e cents a day. "Awful!" "Good gracious!" "Shoot it!" and "You make mo tired" were samples of the chief pitfalls. A part of the young ladies have withdrawn from the society to avert bankruptcy. The others don't talk as much slang as they used to. Springfield (Mass.) Jlonie-btea- d. An Experiment. Miss Pinckney.'the lady who is at the head of Margaret Winthrop hall, the home where a number of girls of the Cambridge school live, is working out n interesting experiment successfully, under the direction of Mr. Arthur Oil-man. She is making a real home for girls away from home at school. A visit to Margaret Winthrop hall shows how completely the pleasant life of the home is kept separate from the pleasant life of the school. New Y'ork Telegram. . Woman and Politics. If women are good and politics bad, by what logic, or even by what common sense, or what moral sense, does it come about that school education should be given over to the latter? Regarding goodness it has been said, "Be not good merely, bnt be good for something." If woman is good, let her goodness be made available just here where goodness is needed. Abby Morton Diaz in Chau-tauqua- n. Miss Kate Drexel will endow with $8,000,000 tho new religious order she is founding, to be called "The Sisters of the Most Holy Sacrament," whose work is to be the amelioration of the condi-tion of Indians and negroes. She her-self will be domiciled in the order, living like the humblest sister, with no exemp-tions from the hardship of her lot, though she will probably become mother Btiperior. The Princess Ohika, sister of Queen Natalie, has one child, a boy. So dis-pleased is the princess with the sex of the child, who is now about nine years old, that she calls him by a girl's name, dresses him exactly like a little girl in frills and lace, and is bringing him up much after the fashion of girls. The marriage contract between Dr. Schliemann and the Greek girl he made ' his wife contained a clause to the effect that she should learn and recite to him every day fifty lines of the Iliad. This custom was never departed from, and no entreaties on her part could induce him to remit a line of the task. Tho costume worn by Lady Randolph Churchill at the last ladies' night of tho Grosvenor club, in London, caused con-siderable comment because of its sim-plicity. Her dress was a plain black gown, and, unlike any other lady in the rooni, sho wore no ornaments except a cut jet comb in her hair. James Russell Lowell's sister, Mrs. Putnam, of Boston, is noted as a linguist, and is the author of some very able pa-pers on Polish and Hungarian literature. She has also written a dramatic poem. Mrs. Putnam was born in 1S10, and is nine yoar older than her distinguished brother |
