John Temple Graves, editor of the Atlanta Journal, in a b-cture on "The New Woman and the OM," says: "It is no lunger fashionable to go in to ecstasies over woman. She is no lon ger a sentiment. She is a problem, and it is our unhappy mission to grapple w-itb ber or surrender, as I have done. The issues she brings are vital In their scope, in their importance, in their far reaching effects, involving as they do a full half cf the human race and the destiny of the wbolo race, woman's struggle for her rights and nobler stand ards makes tho forvniost problem of this world. After G,000 years of subordina tion woman is at last in rebellion against the things that be. For CO cen turies she has Uvn content to crown tbo victor in the lists cf human endeavor. Now the is her lf in the lists for the crown and the laurels of strife. We in the exigency of this matt-rial age repeat the cry, 'Room f or the lady !' And wc have made room for ber, or, rather, she has made it for herself. In every forum of discussion aud in every field of strife, in the professions and ill the trades, in the ranks of the workers everywht re, she has won her way and h"ld her own. Her triumphs over heathen prejudice have been magnificent. But she has not yet released the eword of progress. She is marching on to new fields and wider triumphs. "First, then, woman has won ber way to the schools of the country. She has converted tho prejudice which has that ber out from ber education. Th.-mks to ber own persistent courage and against the persistent protest of narrowness and bigotry, she has ennobled and glorified that privibgeof intelligence. For 1.000 years men have raid that woman had no brain for a higher development and that ber limited capacities were 6afer within the limited sphere to which man's stand ards held her. She has nobly demon strated ber capacity for higher educa tion. Then in the a iJer Eeldg cf coeda cation, side by sidu in lessons with men, she has not lost in her separate sphere, and she has hliarvd higher honors iu mighty colleges. The last barrier to her mental kingdom has b-cn won. The gates have boeu opaaed everywhere, and with courage, engy and splendid pur pose ber brains are putting into peril the intellectual superiority of the other ex." Wwnaa'a Opportualt; Abroad. Germany is supposed to be a bind where women have small opportunity to earn money in com petit km with men. The idea of the German woman as man trodden, helpless and oppressed has be come so general that woman suffragists regard her usually as an illustration of all that is evil in masculine methods of tonducting government and industry. Yet the last industrial aud professional census of the German empire shows that the number of self supporting (fcrman womeu is already iu the millions and is growing rapidly so mpidly, indeed, as to provoke the quevjon, "If this con tinues, what can be done with the men?" Germany has 26,861,125 women, of whom 1.318,954 are in domestic service and 5.264.409 support themselves by industrial and professional labor. Since 1S82 tbe number of self supporting wo men in the empire has increased by more than 1,000,000. To lie sure, this whole increase would not be regarded universally as a sign of woman's prop ress. Some Americana might regurU it as quite the reverse. For instance, iu the last 1 years S 18,245 women have replaced 162,043 men as agricultural workers, accepting such low wages as to make tbe change profitable to the em ployers Just what the duties of these women in agriculture are the census does not state, A person who has lived in rural Germany and seen women bitched before the plows side by side with cows or has observed their anta Eonian activity in the harvest fields can imagine, however, that a composite pic ture of the 2 IS, 145 at their tasks would not please Sorosis or the Y.

In the whole empire tut two cJai-s of employment have rt-niaim-d clsd to the Gtrraan woman. One is the artisan class, from mhii h custom, not law, has tarred her. Tbe other is the cbu-3 of high government officials. Otherwise the world of busi ness and indur-try is cp-m to the Ger man woman. New York Sun. Won Her War la Maseallna AUtra. Mrs. Catherine Coouibes for the past 43 years has dressed and worked as a man, and ber cerer will surely take rank with the two or three hL-torio e.x amob of those of tbe six who have urved in the army aud navy without their secret becoming known. An early marriage proving a Us trondy nnhappy one, Mrs. Coomboa formulated a plan f eluding b r hus band and supjxirting b-rs,lf. There were n it the "oji-uings for women" five aud f irty years ago that there aro today, and, to put it in her own words, she saw that -the choice lay between a man' clothes and labor or destitution. After donning masculine togs she btart ed as a larner in the house painting trade at 4 shillings a week. Her aptitude soon showed itself, and in three weeks this modest remuneration was raisiHl cntil in a few months she was alle to earn "a living wage, " So rapidly did she rise that she soon was able to live in comfort and bad a nice little bouse in Camden terra-e, n.r the Victoria docks. Two people knew her secret, ouo b ing ber mother and the other a niece, who for two aud twenty years kept bouse f 'ir her aud was believed by all the neighbors to be"Charley Wilson's wife." Perhaps tbe mcK-t remarkable fact of this woman's bueinets capabilities was btr employment for over 13 years by the Pctiusubir and Oriental comiainy. It is with cons-id' rable pride that she mention that, with the exception of tbo bust two or three ships built, there is m t a vesl in that statfly fleet which cannot show her handiwork. She had a large .-Jiare in the red.-coralion of the sal Ai f the Home after the big al terations that were made in ber hull for li r improvement, and the orna mentation of the muiic saloons of tho Yictcria, the Oceana and the Arcadia, which ere espit ially elaborate and rich, was almost utirely carried out by ber in eiiameling. Loudon Times. hhe Irml( In Diamond. St. Louis has a woman diamond deal er who is not only making a comfort able living, bet she is adding to an al ready god tizid bank account. She lives at a fashionable private hotel aud has no office address receiving ber busi ness nuiil at the general delivery win dow of the postoCice. Her clientele em braces many of the society women of the city. When this young woman first en gaged iu the venture, she made the rounds of the pawnshops of the city and purchased a nunjlier of diamonds at a very moderate price. She is a good judge of the stones and is able to tell just what a diamond is worth. In some manner she barns irom day to day of women who wish to buy diamonds aud she makes it her business to call upon them. At first she was not received kindly, but aftr a time she managed to dispose of several of the stones. Then her prices were so reasonable that it was but a very short time before the fact that she sold diamonds elnapor than they conld be purchased anywhere else in town le carae well known among certain cir cles, and her business began to thrive. In case any of ber customers thecoma financially embarrassed she will pur chase the stones Imck at a sufficient dis count to enable her to make a handsome profit. She has no delinquent cubtomers, for h r sales are fur cash. She if about 24 years of ago aud well educated. She is xsodest in appearance and a thorough t u.'.iiHM woman and her keen knowledge of human nature aids he r greatly in ber enterprise. St. Louis Letter. I'p to Date Cofliion.

The most pleasant form of afternoon entertaining is to get together a few of one's friends from 10 to 20 for some special purpose, choosing tactfully with regard to congeniality. Tho purpose should be stated in the invitation. This may be the discussion of books recently read by each of the guests or of domes tic problems; a helpful interchange of ideas regarding tho home training of children, their school work and the books they should read; a relation of interesting experiences of travel, etc; club work, philanthropy, the questions of the day political, economic, inter national, etc. lacking knowledge of which is to bo unintelligent There is an infinite variety of delightful excuses for such a company. Coffee and delicate sandwiches, served without troubling guests to go to the dining room, would be an appropriate refection. Warm gin gerbread or some other fancied trifle might bo a unique and acceptable addi tion. An open fire would bo the feature of features ou such an occasion, serving, as it always dcx'S, us an inspiration to geniality. Woman's Home Compan ion. Street Kklrta. Street skirts are made abnost like riding habits in their clinging effect, the most graceful skirt that a woman can wear, which fact is almost a com pensation for the added length. As however, these skirts with their fan like backs, are made without lining, or rather separate from the indispensable silk lin'-ng, which is short enough to clear the ground and serves in lien of a petticoat, they are so easily held up by one hand in the street that their length is hardly an annoyance. They are faced on the underside with the same silk as that which serves as a petticoat, but are not stiffened, tho outer skirt and petticoat being on the same band. This does away with the silk skirt, which, for the last few years has been wosu instead of a whke wash skirt an idea which is not fresh or dainty, to say the least Now tho white skirt is again deemed necessary, but it has changed its character and is of thin muslin, worn rather short, serving merely as a pro tection, and can be changed and laun dered.

Jet and colored gimps black and colored velvet, black and white satin, velvet riblon. bands of the dress material, rows and designs of braid and yokes of silk cord or b-nd and spangle embroidery on mousse-lino are the garniture s that will be seen on every band. Small buckles will be worn in folded collars and belts and long silk, velvet, ribbon and mousseline sashes are also among the accessories designed to increase the elaborate appearance of winter gowns which are all much trimmed, except the severely tailored street suit Isabel A.

It is certain, says a Ne'w York fash ion writer, that no matter bow elabo rately tbo toilets of ceremony or how tastt fully the handsome deniidress or bouse gowns may be trimmed all su perfluous garniture's will be kept from the stylish aud useful tailor gown. On French models are noticed many attract ive and charming little additions to the bodice, with likewise fanciful touch n to the sleeves, but the general effect f a smart, elegant tailor gown remains as :u the initial season of its vogue, a simple, perfctly fitted, perfectly hung model, complete in every detail and bearing tho unmistakable impress of master hand in its entire construction and finish.

In the luxurious rooms where dwelt the bite Sir Frederick "Leighton were many ideas to be culled here and there even ly those v?bo did not admire, as a whole, the ornate pose of the sometimes affect edly placed furnishings and decorations. In one room was a Turkish window, a deep bay. The glass rose only over the upper half of tbe end and not of the sides Below that very gorgeous work ran a platform about three feet high. This was backed on all three sides by a continuous cushion, against which other pillows were loosely piled. One-quarter of the platform, at fine end. terminated in three steps leading down into the room. Over the remainder a magnificent eastern rng was smoothly spread like a small carpet Its fine design was thus perfectly revealed in its harmony with both the cushions and tho window. In color everything led up to the gbiss. That gave the effect of a gem set iu tints cunningly calculated to throw out its beauty and splendid hues. Exchange. Charnitnc Evening Toilet.

Forty species were represented, including thrushes, warblers shrikes, flycatchers, tanagers swallows, waxwiugs, gros beaks sparrows orioles woodpeckers jays, owls grouse, doves quails shore birds herons gulls, terns and grebes. In all he saw 173 wild birds or parts of them on bats. Of these birds at least 32 varieties are protected by law during all or a majfir portion of the year.

The Japanese chilJnn j lay some good games that might help American youngsters through a wintry afternocn. The girls big girls, bio, have a very pretty bail g-Jiie that they call "yerua ri," which means handball, but it ia not at all the same thing as the hand ball we know. A number of them stand in a circle. One of them takes the ball they use one about two inches in diamefer and throws it perpendicular ly on the ground. As it rebounds she strikes it tack with her ojeu hand. This she does as often as she can do so wilhout moving from her placo in the circle, but when it rt bounds nearer to some other girl as it will be 6ure to do soou it is the part of that girl to strike it down. So the game goes on till s-ane girl fails to bit when she should fir to make it rebouud, and then sho is cast out of tbe circle. The game piea on till only ono girl is left, and then she has the honors of the game, "kachi," or victory, as the girls call it There is another merry game called "catching the snake's taiL" One play er is selected to be tho catcher, and the rest mugo them Ives in a row, one be hind the other, each child putting his or her hands ou the shoulders of the child in front of him.

Tbe catch er must not push any one in tho row, and the chain of the row must not be broken, eithir action constituting "fuuL" When tbe "tail" is caught, that child becomes catcher and tho catcher becomes the taiL A variation ou this game is for the catcher to crv out that he will catch a child.
