Therefore it is not an economy not to buy Rood material unless yon can afford to throw away ft dress that has frayed at the seams or become wrinkled witli a few wearing. "Nobody is sinking of cloth gaiters," nays Prima, "but I may as well remark that they are comfortable arid keep your shoes nice. And I was going to make another suggestion. You said you found linen collars and cuffs the most convenient neck and wrist wear?" "Yes, but one gets awfully tired of them. Knelling aro nicer, but they cost a pretty penny if t hey are pretty ones and always fresh." "Well, a very good compromise is folds of mull or dotted swiss, or some-thing of that sort, with u backing of white or very pale ribbon. You can make them up by the dozen and have them ready to put ou liko collars, l'ut I must tie off. Who's going my way?" Ah we stopped to pay our chucks the young woman before us helped herself to a toothpick and walked down the street with it between her lips. "I am thankful to say," observed Tenia, "that 1 haven't seen one busiuess woman in fifty do that." M. IIlXKN I'RASr.ft LOVETT. 1MP0RTANTT0 WOMN Tbt Question That ii Agitating tha Hindi of tbs Business Women of Today. SOME USEFUL HINTS TO W0EZES3 H. Helen Fraaer Lovett Writes an In-teresting Letter on the Sub-je- ct of Dress. "What do you think of the. proposal tc Invent a distinctive) dres for business women? Would you wear il?" "Oh, I won't commit myself. I'll wait and see what it is lirst," was the, laugh-ing reply. "Yen; there is a proverb about taking a hnrso to water. 1 should certainly re-bel at a divided skirt." We wero in n down town restaurant in New York where there aro "tables reserved for Indies," and where hundreds of business women take their lunch every ) day a Rood place to observe the charno i teristics of tho tpecies, iu dm and other matters. A glance nromid the room inclines ono to believo that busiinfs women aro not particularlydiffcrent from other women. Colonel Tredennis rniglit havo picked out "the woman who supports her fam-ily on her salary and tho ono who buys her ribbons with it;" but as a rule they do not acquire any of what Oeorro Eliot calls "epicene queeniesKes," and they ap-pear to dress in good taste and to like pretty things when they can get them as well as other peoplo. And why not? I'm suro tho business woman needs them cpiiteas much. Her surroundings are not generally festive, and nre often gloomy and ngly, and she "annot take it out in hwking at other people's pretty things, as a saleswoman might, since her work generally takes her among tho half of humanity that is doomed to cropped heads, stiff collars and derby hats. "It strikes mo," says Prima, stirring her chocolate, "that the light of nature is as likely to dictate sensible dross to a business woman as to any one else." "Yes," says Mecunda, "but if they could invent something to keep the mud off one's skirts, I for one should bo grate-ful. It hasn't lieen so bail this season, but do yon remember lat, when it rain-ed every day? How sick and tired I nsed to get brushing mud off my skirts. I'm sure I carried homo enough to make ftBmallfurra, and when I reflWt that real estate in this part of the city is al-most worth the gold that would cover it, I have an undefined feeling that I ought to be richer than I am." "Bnt, my dear, why can't yon hold np your dress?" "I don't know why, but I can't. Some people have a gift that way I haven't. And then it is such a bother to carry a waterproof and rubbers when it isn't raining that 1 often go without them and run the risk of being caught." "Then what you want is a rainy day bag. Any one who has had a pair of muddy rubbers on her hands to get home when it has cleared up in the af-ternoon would appreciate this. The pockets you get with rnbber cloaks are not big or durable enough, and, oddly, they generally come with the cheap ones, not with the good, but these latter commonly have a hood, which you have probably discarded as absurd. Take this and rip it up, or cut it close to the seams, and you get a yard of striped rublier cloth to match your cloak. Make a bag about twelve inches squaro. Put a piece of black ribbon or silk across the top for a finish and to put a casing in. Put strings of cord or narrow ribbon. When you want to dispose of your rub-bers it is such a comfort to pop them into this and roll them up, instead of an awkward parcel with two or three thick-nesses of paper. Ordinarily you keep it packed with your rubbers and cloak, your elastic strap and some safety pins to hold up your dress evenly, and a thick veil. On a threatening morning all you have to do is to slip it over youi arm and it leaves your hands free, for there is room to crowd in a book or par-cel. I hato to carry things in my hands." "But, pray," interrupts Tertia, "does this remarkable bag hold your umbrella into the bargain?" "Not quite, but I have a chain for my tmibrella and it hangs from my belt. 1 carry a Email one, for, after all, an um-brella only koepg your hat dry." "Wull, for my part I wouldn't give a fig for a waterproof. I think they are hot in summer and cold in winter, and clumsy always. Stormy weather is gen-erally cool enough to make an ulster comfortable. I pin my skirt np under my ulster, and my ankies aro still veiled from vulgar eyes." Somebody explains, speaking of elastic etraps, that they are no good if they are loose. Three-quarter- s of u yard is gen-erally enough, of Ftout, inch elastic. Have it well up, not down around the knees; pull the skirt through evenly and pin it to bo flat. There is great comfort in an extra pocket or two. This sounds impossible to people who are contented to go with-out any; but make up your mind to have them, possible or not, and serve notice on your dressmaker to that effect. Have pockets in your underskirts at any rate, ami you can carry your overshoes in these if you are a despiser of water-proofs. Py ninny business women sateen rs vott'J the l:e.ss par excellence for sum- - tner wear. It is delightfully owl and j liht, sheds the dust and makes up into Wonderfully pretty costume without being too dres.--y. Another material that possibly outranks it is what was afore-time known as debeige. I suppose tho tame thing is made every year with a different name. It comes in pretty shades of gray arid brown, has light, cool and dust shedding qualities, and, being wool, is safer to wear iu changeable weather. "Speaking of sateen," Rays Secunda, has a well develoed bump of ecoi err-- "t'-l- l 'em it has a. strong constitu-tion. At the seaside last summer Maris Smith fell into the Atlantic ocean in j (sateen drexs, and the next murnhy rshe wrutiiZ it cut flrsd it was as Rood a) stit ffo, I believe on the whole that she only fell down ou the edge of the beach and got drenched, but the moral is the same. There is wear in sateen." That is a point to be considered. The hero of "Blithesdale Romance" re-marked of the philosophers of Brook Farm that whatever differing theories had brought them there they had ap-parently all come with the laudable in-tention of wearing out their old clothes. This is an economy that 'the business woman cannot practice as easily as her etay-atrho- fiigter, nor the kiudred one Eio (Me Western A J fW ESTER A,j AD G E D CURRENT TIME.TADLE: In Effect April 0, 18D1.

Ir)'crence Ht'twei-- Masculine lluue-kr- i pltii- - and rniiliiino llourkvriliii;. It may not bo so in other cities, but in Vt-- York there is a constant aggrega-tion of unattached women into groups of from two to half a dozen, who hire a flat or ft house, as the case way be, and set up a homo for themselves. Hather fitrangely, too, the dame is true of unat-tached men. Scores of these, too good looking youths of a marriageable age, widowers of middle age, and bachelor who never mention their age drift to-gether into groups, and thone, too, go to housekeeping, independent of woman. Tho difference between the housekeeping of tho two sexes when they go it alone without the help of the other is amus-ing as well an suggestive. The wom-en bachelors come out strong in bric-a-bra- Japanese and China ailk wall hangings and household decorative art generally. They have flower pots in the windows, and not seldom a sleepy old tabby cat and canary birds. Eating arrangements they think little about. Tho ideas of the man housekeeper may le best expressed in the conversation I heard between two young men in a res-taurant. One of these bad just goue to housekeeping in a Hat with throe other men. "Its arranged this way, you see," ho said. ''There are four of us. Kach puts in a hundred dollars toward fur-nishing the flat. We put a billiard table in the back parlor ami hire a coon to do the cooking. The first man that breaks the contract and marries forfeits his hundred dollars to the rest and must leao his share of the furniture in the flat." Tho billiard table, the "coon" and tho cooking were the uppermost ideas in tho young man bachelor's prep-arations for housekeeping. Have you read "Dreams," by Olive Schroiner, this wonderful girl, Olive Kchreiner? Men should look after their preroga-tives. In the last legislature of Wiscon-sin the chairman of the judiciary com-mittee reported adversely measure for enlarging the rights of women in that slate. Ho explained that ho could not recommend the bill, as it was contrary to that state of subjection which naturo indicated was tho proper one for woman. Thereupon his associate members of the legislature, even men like unto himself, laughed him to scorn and named him Thus tho masculine scepter is dropping to pieces, and men themselves seem rather to enjoy it Miss Anna W. Kelly, of Denver, was appointed reading clerk of the Colorado senate. She got tho place because she was the best reader among a number of competitors, six of whom wero men. Gertrude E. Fonda, a Vermont girl, won a fifty dollar prize for tho best original design by a woman for an arti-cle of furniture. Iter design was that of a bookcase in the form of a book. I know not who wrote tho words bo-lo-but they are golden: "It is one of tho most deplorable symptoms of the ?tate of things which prevails in many societies when, if men and women who are not married are noticed to be united by close ties of friendship and sympathy, people assume at once that something is wrong between them. That assumption inriy be, and perhaps is, a natural growth of a corrupt and immoral so-ciety, but if we are to mend matters we miibt change all that." Yale college has received during tho past year gifts amounting to 1,1.11,072. Harriet T. Leaven worth lately bestowed on the college $1.1,000. And Vale has not even an annex for the education of women. Harriet I. Leavenworth, aren't you ashamed of yourself? If then; is ono thing ugli;r than an-other it is the lambrequin around the fashionable basque this spring, hanging half way down tho skirt. Helen Campliell, author of "Prisoners of Poverty," one of the finest, strongest woman souls in America, has received the $'.'00 prize from the American Eco-nomic association for writing the, best paper on "Women Wage Workers." We lire glad of it. LOCJAL TWAINS. SALT I.AKB AND OOtlKff. I.aar Walt I.ak. g ill a. m.. 9 Si a. m.. 4:46 p. ni. Ket inunK, arrive iq SaH Laka, ;40 iu.,S:IOp. m., V:6:p. m. BIS'. HAM.

Agl "Millionaires are as plenty as black-berries in this town," said a gentleman who has been active in the sub-- ! scription for the statue to General Grant. "You just let tho right set of men take hold of a subscription list for any worthy purpose and see how rapidly it swells, j Look at the Sherman statue fund. It will be completed in a few days, and we could have passed the $o0,0(0 mark eral days ago if we had not limited the highest subscription to $1,000. The prin-cipal drawback about going to an ordi-nary millionaire with a subscription list is his sensitiveness about making hi name too conspicuous on the list. "For instance, a man worth $2,000,000 or $o000,000 will run his eye over the list, and if he sees the names of Vander-bil- t. Rockefeller or Huntington he will say. 'Well, of course' it won't look well forme to give as much as those men. Peoplo will think that 1 am trying to at-tract attention to myself.' Now, if that man had been asked to start the subscrip-tion he probably would have put his name down for 1.000. When he saw that Vanderbilt had given that sum hd immediately subscribed for f2,)0, with the assurance, however, 'If you need an v mure C4i3 i see tue.'m!!t"f't ' . |
