According to Jeannette Wilder, the new. woman of the novelist la merely one of Dr. Max Nordau's degenerates. She' is the breatlon of a writer who Is hysterical- 'and degenerate, and the world takes her as something: tnat real ly exists. "To be sure, there are plenty of women with, 'pasts' and with 'yearn ings.' and there always have been and probably always will be, but I doubt If any woman outside of an Insane asylum talks the rubbish about spiritual im pacts, tells that 'we are tones of one chord," and about the 'vile slavery' of marriage, as do the, women of Miss Pendered and Grant Allen. Writers of this sort do not represent the women of the' day any more than the painted wqmen of the,, streets (represent the women of ood society... The jaundiced writers of 'The Yellow Book' cannot be' expeoted to give us pictures of healthy lives. Their tastes run to worm eaten fruit. They have no liking for "iha-t which Is red with the hue of health. They prefer the yellow hue. of decay. Dr. Nordou is quite Tight when he calls It disease. The heroines of 'The Yellow Book,' of 'Discords' and of 'Wreckage' might have been, taken .' from Lam brosa's study- of the , female offender. If they exist outside of their creator's brains, their cases will be found re corded In scientific studies of criminol ogy or In the ordinary police reports. The new woman as I find hop outside of the pages of flotlon -Is an industrious, healthy-minded, healthy-bodied young person, with a certain, amount of .Inde pendence, who cares more for out-of-door sports than for Indoor follies, and who If Bhe has work to do does It and does not waste her time In telling' about It." THE FADDIST: , ; My sweetheart Is a treasure And I love her beyond measure, And each day I have discovered some new and charming trait; But it made me feel the saddest When I found she was a faddist.

At one time It was Browning, ThenK First Aid to the Drowning, Then Trying to Discover why Cats Land . on-their Feet; Then Hrtc-a-Brffc Collecting, Then Views of Vivisecting, Then a dainty kind ot slumming in a very dirty street.

For I hope the time Is coming when she'll make a fad of me. Carblyn Wells In Puck. ., One of the strongest arguments In favor of dress reform, especially of the bifurcated skirt, Is Its economy. One reason why women wear out more shoes than men do Is because they are much shorter steppers. The average woman will take about one-third more steps, than a man will to progress a given distance, hence her shoe soles come In contact with the ground SO per cent, oftener than do those of a man's hoes Even with1 the same material and quality of shoe, she would natural ly wear out three pairs. to a man's two, at least at the bottoms, allowing a slight discount on this average for the lighter weight of the Woman's body. She takes shorter steps for two reasons. First, she doesn't care to stride with a long, -military step, and, second, her skirts Impede the motions of the knee, and to take long steps, would be quite uncomfortable. This difficulty will, however, disappear as soon as the new habiliment, of the new woman comes Into general vogue; and with its disappearance will come a marked de cline in the annual total of milady's shoe bills GARDENING TIME: . , Now Phyllis sends for catalogues J l .

Follies some may have perpetrated, for enthusiasts are prone to exaggeration, which is al ways folly; but let us forget wherein they may have erred still err, perhaps and be generous enough to recognize our debt.

' HOUSEHOLD HINTS: A novel work-box can be made by lining the bottom of a tambourine with quilted satin ot any desirable shade, while be tween the metal clappers are spools, thimbles, wax, etc. If desired, .a second tambourine a size larger may be converted Into al cover by lining It with satin ribboa across it in such a way as to form com partments for scissors, papers or needles and other necessaries of a sewing outfit. Bananas are excellent fried as dough nuts are fried In a deep vessel of boiling fait. These may be eaten simply, or with a little glaze of sugar and lemon. An other way to serve them Is to bake them In their JacketB and eat them with sugar and cream. The fruit should be well ripened and the oven fairly hot. Ten or twelve minutes will usually suffice to cook them. Here Is an excellent recipe for making typewriter Ink: Take petroleum of high melting point, melt H on a wr'er bath, and incorporate, by constantly stirring, as much lampblack or dropblao as It will take, up without becoming granular. If the petroleum remains In excess the print will be liable to have a greasy outline; if the color Is In excess the print will not be clear. Remove from the Are, and while tt Is cooling mix equal parts of petroleum, benzine and rectified oil of turpentine, and In this dissolve the fatty Ink, Introduced in small portions under constant stirring. The solvent should be added in such pro portions that the Anlshed ink shall be of the consistency of fresh oil paint. Now wind the ribbon on a piece of cardboard, place on a table several layers of news paper, then unwind the ribbon in such lengths as may be most convenient, and lay them smooth on the paper. Apply the ink by means of a soft brush, like a tooth brush, rubbing It in well. Hardly any Ink should remain on the surface. For colored Inks use Prussian blue, red lead, etc., especially the aniline colors. A specimen formula given is: Aniline black, one-halt ounce; alcohol, fifteen ounces; giycerlnle, fifteen ounces. Dissolve the aniline In the alcohol and add the glycer ine, Inking the ribbon as before. Very pretty picture frames may be made as follows: Take the top or bottom of a good stiff pasteboard box, and lay the picture to be framed exaotly in the center; then mark around It with a lead pencil. The margin about the picture should be In proportion to Its size, at least, and the wider the margin the richer looking the frame. Cut away the inside by laying a ruler along the lines and cutting through the pasteboard with a sharp knife, being careful to cut Just .the tiniest bit Inside of the lines all around so that the picture will not drop through when put on, the back. Take enamel paint of any color you desire, and paint the pasteboard, giving it two coats. If you use dark paint, use dark cardboard, and light for light, then It will not show through ft you spread tho paint too thin. Mount your picture on a piece of paper thick brown paper will answer and place tt neatly over the open ing In the frame, adjusting from the back, and paste the brown paper to the frame. You can hang with ribbons or tack to the wall. If the pasteboard seems to be Almsy paste two pieces together before you be gin to paint. The enamel will not warp the paper In the least, and Is as bard and shining as marble. ' The effect Is very pretty Indeed. - SOME FAMOUS WOMEN: Mrs. H. H.

Of the drinkers, twenty-five children died In the first week of life, as against six on the other side. ' The latter deaths were from weakneBs.whlle the former were at tributable to weakness, convulsive attacks, or oedema of the brain and membranes. To this cheerful record Is added Ave who were Idiots; Ave so stunted In growth as to be really dwarfs; five when older be came epileptics; one, a boy, had grave chorea, ending In idiocy; Ave more were diseased and deformed, and two of the epileptics became by Inheritance drinkers.

Tha Augusta, Ga,, Herald of a re cent date gives an Interesting account ot the presentation of the original man uscript of Lover's "Peggy in tha Low Backed Car," to Viotor Herbert, who is a grandson of the celebrated Irish poet, In the following: The happiest man in America today Is Victor Her bert, the leader of the famous Oil more bond. Mr. Herbert, as has al ready been stated, is a grandson of Samuel Lover, the great Irish poet and novelist. This afternoon he, with a few. friends, were at the Arlington when George A. Oates, of this city, ap proached the young composer, Intro duced himself and said that he had an Important communication to make to him. Mr. Oates then explained that he had the original copy, in Mr. Lov er's own handwriting, of "Peggy In the Low-Backed Car," and he wished to present the manuscript to the grand son. The manuscript had been given by Mr. Lover to Mr. Oates many years ago, when the tatter was on a tour of the British Isles and the continent. It is needless to say that Mr. Herbert was overjoyed beyond expression at the receipt of what (to him) could be no more valuable gift. His thanks and his gratitude to Mr. Oates cannot be told In cold print. The brilliant young musician pressed the precious paper to his heart and happiness and Joy lit up his every feature. Of the posses sion of the bit of paper he was prouder and gladder than had there been brought to him gold and precious stones galore. Every Irish lad and las Ble knows and sings "Peggy in the Low Backed Oar." In the fatherland no festivity is complete without Its ren dition. We have been permitted to see the original manuscript copy given Mr. Herbert. It Is written on light blue paper with block Ink and In a hand pe culiar to the Irish race. It Is in an ex cellent state of preservation. The words of the song are as follows, giv ing the words, punctuation and ar rangement exactly as they appear on the original: When first I saw sweet Peggy, . 'Twos on a market day, A low backed car she drove, and Bat Upon a truss of hay; But when that hay was blooming grass, And decked with Aowers of spring No flower was there That could compare ; ; To the blooming girl I sing; As she sat in her low backed car, ' ' The man at the turnpike bar ":; "Never asked for the toll. But Just rubbed his ould poll And looked after the low backed car. In battle's wild commotion. The pfoud and mighty Mars, With hostile scythes, demands his tythes Of death In warlike cars! But Peggy's peaceful goddess t; Has darts In her bright eye -' ' That knock men down, i ' In the market town, 1 ' As right and left thoy fly! While she sits in her low-backed cat ' Than battle more dang'rous far, For the doctors' art Cannot cure the heart That is hit from that low-backed car. Sweet Peggy 'round her car, sir, Has strings of ducks and g(so; But the scores of hearts she slaughters By far outnumber these; While she among her poultry sits, j ' Just like a turtle dove, ,; Well worth the cage, 1 i I do engage . II Of the blooming God of Love. ' j While she sits In her low-backed car. The lovers como, near ' and far, ' To envy the chicken That Peggy Is plckin', While she sits in her low-backed car, I'd rather own that car, sir, With Peggy by my side, Than a coach and four, with gold galore, And a lady for my bride; For the lady would sit fornlnst me On a cushion mado with taste, While Peggy would bo beside me With my arm around her waist. As we drove in t lie. low-backed car To be married by Father Maher, ' Oh, my heart would beat high, At her glance and her sigh, j Tho' it beat In a low-backed car.
