Kvery little while there comes the news fronj some part of the country tbat a woman has succeeded In enter ing tbe domain of some profession the gateway of which has hitherto been Oosed to the sx. It has remained for Boston to bring forth a woman who, in the profession be has cboecn, is not only doing work remarkable for a woman, but work that would be Just as remarkable were H done ly any one of what Is called the stronger sex. Her name is Josephine Wright Chap nu'in. an architect, and from her work rooms, at 9 Park street, have come forth the designs for some of the most Ix autiful Louses ard homes in eastern Massachusetts and the plans for some of the most -successfully beautiful buildings.

It got without saying, give to any house aa attractive appear ance, and in this connection it might be well to ask why it Is that the tiny plots of grass In front of many city houses belonging to well to do people are so woefully neglected. Even the grass is sparse and nacared for, and It Is seldom. If ever, that any attempt Is made to make it ornamental. Yet these plois might be turned Into little spots of beauty in early spring and during the autumn months aad in winter made to look cheerful and trim with evergreens and English ivy. Window boxes filled with dwarf arbor vitae trees and Ivy give a bouse an air of distinction and in the spring render It really beautiful whea filled with pussies. Later la the season hyacinths and tulips may take their place. It is only iu recent years that this species of outside decoration has been intro duced, and it is to be hoped that it will grow In favor. If only for the sake of the rublic good. Curtains, too. give a great cachet to the outside ap pearance cf a bouse and should be carefully considered in that connection. People seldom realize bow all this minutiae affect the general appear ance of their domiciles. If they did, there would be more attention paid to the exterior of the ordinary dwelling. Aaerlraa Embrotdrry mt Pari. A beautiful exhibit of embroideries by American women at tue exposition la Paris is representative of tbe finest workmanship that skillful fingers can produce au-J was collected under the auspices of a committee consisting cf Mrs. ConJace Wheeler. Mrs. Richard Watson Gilder. Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer and Mrs. Boudinot Keith. Mrs. Wheeler states that the aim of tbe committee was to have the exhibit indicate the trend of American em broidery in addition to giving foreign ers aa idea of the American way of decorating table linen. Foreigners have but little idea of the luxury of American table appointments, aad the exhibit Is one that displays the finest fpeeiniens of embroidered table linen. "I have been Interested in embroideries since the Centennial exosition wag held la Philadelphia," Mrs. Whcelor said, "and have devoted my time to encouraging the development cf this art among American women. There is today no stitchery in the world supe rior to the American, and the exhibit, which has been gathered frori various slates and Is thus national in charac ter, attests this fact." Many of the pieces are embroidered with flowers peculiar to this country, the Indian corn, arbutus, Cherokee rose, the American Beauty rose and characteristic American ferns. Sanettatea Sat. That the old time masculine bluff does not Influence the modern woman is seen in a story, and a story that is tbe truth. It was at the time of the last convention of the Michigan Feder ation of Women's Clubs that tbe name of Mrs. Keating of Muskegon was pre sented for re-election to tbe presidency. There is a Mr. Keating, as it happens, who. prior to bis wife's departure far the clubwoman's convention, sought to prevail upon her to refuse the office. The sisterly persuasion at the scene of action was to much for Mrs. Keating, however, ard she was made president for a second time. Thereu)on she tel egraphed her husband the result, and immediately there came back the mes sage. "Have packed my traps for the Philippines." The ruse of the jocular Mr. Keating did not work, so they say. for the only consolation be got was a terse telegram sent by the Michigan Federation of Women's Clubs. It read "God speed you." Philippine Embroidery. 51 re. Sternberg, wife of the surgeoa general of the army, has lately come into possession of the most -beautiful product of the Philippines, an exquis itely embroidered piaa handkerchief, which was sent her by an army offlcer. Tbe drawn work and embroidery make a texture fine as cobweb aad morv bcsutlfu! and durable than any lace. Tbe day Is at band when pina cloth from the Philippine, both In its fine and coarser varieties, will be la more frequent use in this country. Mrs, Mc Kee, dar.gtter of former President Uarrisoa. has a dress of it with a satin stripe weav which has been greatly admired. Tbe true plna cloth is made by hand of piceapple fiber aad is more costly than silk, but very durable. The handkerchief and neck shawls worn by tbe Philippine women, made of pina cloth, covered with drawn work and embroidery, are simply marvelous. erwata la Aaatralia.

Who knows but there may be a revival, too, cf those mysterious love signs which were rampant In tbe guod eld days of yore? Sixty or more years ago a flaming rej wafer was used by a despairing lover when sealing a letter to indicate a dis tressed and bleeding, heart: a yellow one when Jealousy was rankling In his breast: a black one Indicated anger and resentment; a gren one, fickle ness; a violet one, faithfulness and constancy, and a blush pink, blissful contentment and happiness.

But it Is empty, and no ouc, unlers it be the spirts of those who once adorned the room, looks down up on the small army of employees who handle f iiOtfi.tioO each year before it is distributed throughout the United States. This famous room of the treasury de partment has been used for this pur pose for a DumiKT of years. The grow ing demands of the department made this oecesiary, but the place has not lot reputation even If it has become oue of the government's workshops. The marble room of the treasury de partment is known far and wide and Is a feature of interest to visitors on a tour of Inspection of the building. Th Interior is constructed of marble brought f'im sunny Italy, froai France ana wum Vermont. F. E. Spinner was treasurer when the room was built. W. 1J. West was chief clerk, and A. B. Muilett was the suixrvising architect. Hugh McCul loch was secretary of the treasury, aud his assistants were W. E. Chandh-r aad J. 1. Hartly. This Information '.s proclaimed by two marble siabs placed abeve the doors. All tbe marble is wi'Jiout doubt the most magnificent that could le obtained. One cf the squires, however, 1 particularly re markable. It Ls a beautiful specimen of black Vermont marble. A crack runs through the middle of this square, the most remarkable oue ia the whole room. On it, as though drawn by an artist, la a picture of Queen Victoria, a full life sized figure of an eld Quaker ess aad tbe head and shoulders of a French soldier, with his little round cap set Jauntily ou the side of his bead, fastened with a cord tliat runs down the side cf the face and under the chin. The discovery of the faces and fig ures on liie marble was made by Mes senger W. R. Eiliott. One day. while seated in front of the square, be was startled by the lines of alternate black and white forming tl.e figure of the old Quakeress. A full side view of the old woman Is shown. The traditional poke bonnet is pictured, a shawl covers the siigbtly drooped shoulders, and the hands are folded complacently In front of the body. It needs no steady gaze to brifcg out' tbe picture. It is as per fect as though drawn by a master hand. The face of Queen Vicforia is also remarkably true to life. It requires no effort of imagination to draw out the contour of ber face. Only the pro file and a small jtortion of the shoul ders are displayed. The face of Queen Victoria on tbe marble haa given the officials no end of amusement. Several years ago, while a number of young English women who had visited this country for the purpose of attending a Christian Endeavor convention were being taken through the treasury de partment, tiny were shown tbe face of their beloved queen. They were great ly amazed at the likeness, and many exclamations of love and veneration were expressed. While admiring the queer designing of nature one of the young women declared that the Eng lish government should purchase the marble square. The picture of the French soldier is shown in the lower rigbt hand corner of the square. The figure ls half life size and 19 la profile, like the other two. The shoulders are thrown back just as they are drawn by famous French military artists. Nothing could le more truly drawn than the round cap which Is set half ovr-r the left ear. There are other faces and figures to be found on the square, Iog. birds and countless grotesr-je figures can easily Ie traced by following the lines. Washington Post. A MlKbtier Tribe.
