When Spotted Horse, the young Cheyenne ludian who has returned to the ways of his tribe in order to marry his sweetheart, was united to her a month ago, the ceremony was cele brated with great formality. The girl's name is White Dove, and she is said to be the prettiest girl on the re servation. Her father was an Army officer, and her mother, although a full-blooded Indian, had been well educated. When White Dove was born the whole tribe stood sponsor for her and cared for her daring her child hood. She was stolen when ten years old by a Kiowa chief, and was rescued later by her people. It is said she was at wild as any of her people, and ran away from one home to another until she met Spotted Horse. Her re gard for him has stood the test of time, and for her sake he has given up try ing to be a "white man."—New York Tribune. i:FOR WOMAN'S BENEFIT.:; Ik For the Short, Stout Woman. It goes without saying that the stout woman always admires the styles created for her taller and more slender sisters. That's all right, but worship at a distance. Don't pass the suitable long coat and purchase the short jacket, which is bound by the laws of dresp to make you look shorter. Trim your gowns, both waists and skirts, in perpendicular effects. Avoid any thing in the way of frilly or pouched effects that add breadth. You may af fect all pointed and V-shaped arrange ments with good results. In blouses, bodices or coats the more obscure the waist line the more height is given. Yokes are not iuteuded for the bodice of the short, stout woman, but rather an unbroken line from waist to shoul ders, which gives length.—Woman's Home Companion. Button, on the Shirt Walptl. It having been settled beyond ques tion that women's shirt waists shall fasten in front this season, each with its own buttons sewed on, one of the possible worries of the warm reason is guarded aga/nst. Despite the com fort in shirt waists, women say that they can dress for the theatre quite as quickly as for the morning walk, if innumberable buttons must be found and adjusted. It was not an uncom mon experience in the earlier days of wash waists for a woman to find that obe had seut the laundress her only let of shirt studs. And there was noth ing to do but to make the best of it with her father's or brother's old studs found in the button box, until such Say as the washerwoman saw fit to re turn the missing fasteners. Two sets of ornamental shirt studs were out of the question for most women, and bone ones would not do, besause they jould be seen. Five or six pearl but tons of good size, sewn onto each oretty waist settles that little trouble *or another year. Cuff buttons, how ever, must be troubled about; the link lort. and one should have several York Press. Yokelesi Slilrt Wal.ta, The only real novelty in shirt waists for the season, according to a New York fashion writer in the Washing toil Star, is the plain back. It is pretty for a change, but a shirt waist with out any yoke in the back and with only a tiny bit of fullness at the waist tvhere tbe gathers come will have a oard time of it iu the laundry. And ;he laundry every few days should re leive a visit from every shirt waist. A ihirt waist that is not daz/.liugly fresh und clean is 1:0 longer a shirt waist— tt is an eyesore. Yet in pique uud ihe heavy cottons the plain back a-ill be very effective. It makes the Dack look longer, and that should be remembered by short-waisted sisters. Sometimes the back of the shirt waist is made perfectly plain and over this is put a short, pointed yoke, Ibis has k natty efl'ect. The manufacturers are trying to in troduce collars of the same material as the waists instead of the white linen jollar. It remains to be feen whether Ihe attempt will be a success. The frhite collars are universally becom ing, aud this is a question of moment; •till, it is a good idea to have both lorts of collars. The very newest col ors turn over aud have rounded corn trs, which allow the tie to show a 'ittle. Tlieu there are ribbon stocks with a narrow piece of linen buttoned on tbe top, which are a fancy of the moment. But with the conventional irasb shirt waist a plain linen collar, titber straight or turned over, is the imartest. A Prima Donna'. Feathered Friend., Madame Lilli Lehmanais an ardent ihampion of birds and animals. Pos tibly she is a little partial tothe cause >f the birds, as might be expected of one sweet siuger to another, but her lympathies are not confined to the Audubon society. She is an honorary officer of the Berlin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to irhich organization, according to re port, she has bequeathed her fortune. Not long ago Madame Lehmann re leived a request for her autograph. Such requests are more than daily oc lurrences during the American sojourn >f the great singers, who are really fery generous in their responses. In this c-ase the applicant was au agitated foung woman who secured the un isual privilege of being personally re ceived by Madame Lehmann. Natur *,ll v she had arrayed herself in her most sumptuous street raiment in order to honor her hostess aud, inci ientally, do credit to herself. To this Ond, therefore, she wore a large hat, irhose ample area barely accommodated .he feathers heaped upon it. Autograph album in hand, the young ffoman entered the siuger's apart- Bent, hor feathered adornments quiv •ring conspicuously with the excess of ker emotions. Tbe desired autograph was graciously given, but the inter view did not end there. Madame Leh mann could not neglect so palpable an jpportunity for missionary work in be aalf of her bird frjends,and the result was that the befeathered visitor was won over, and went away prom ising to abandon borrowed plumage of the literal variety.—Harper's Bazar. Caring for the Feet. The latest fad is to spend an im mense amount of time in the care of the feet, aud pedicures, as those peo ple are calle 1 who understand the care of the feet, are really making more money than the mamenres, although of course there must needs be a mid leman to come forward and under take to furnish a manicure and a pedi cure both in one. says the New York Herald. But It Is so much more fash, ionable not to have the two talentl combined in the one individual that the pedicure makes her daily visit as well as the manicure. After all, it is astonishing that so little care, as a rule, Whs formerly paid to the feet, for the rtsnlts show that this care not only enables women to walk better than they did, but to wear a smaller size of shoe, and, best of all, undoubt edly helps the circulation of the entire system. Ths pedicure, when she arrives, is shown into "my lady's" bedroom or dressingroom. "My lady" then re clines in a low chair and the pedicure removes her stocking and slipper, then places on her Jap a soft pillow, on which the foot is placed. Every part of the foot is carefully gone over in search of incipient corns or callous places. If these are found they are carefully treated. The nails are, of course, cleaued and trimmed into proper shape and the loose skin pushed back around the nails, just as is done by the manicure for the hands. After these details have been care fully looked over, a most thorough massage is given. The foot is gener ally rubbed with some ointment to make the skin soft and at the same time to keep it in good condition. Finally a sweet smelling powder is also rubbed in and then the stcckiug and shoe are put on. It is no exaggeration to say that when feet are treated in this way they are really kept in mch good condition that a much smaller shoe can be worn and, with the heavy, clumsy footwear that is the rule for street wear at present, every inch in size is some thing to be dreaded. Tall Women. A pretty woman, with a feminine love of statistics, gave out at a jolly lunch eon the other day that she had facts tc prove that New York was bound ulti mately to possess the tallest race oi women iu the world. "Just take as an example the num ber of feet and inches some of out dancing, frolicking fashionable debu tantes measure," she declared, "and you will find that to rise to the six-fool mark is becoming a common occur rence. "Whether there is something in the air of New York city, in the food or the way of life,l don't pretend to say, bu.tdn my own acquaintance are two women whose heads rise to six feet when they s t tand iu their stockings. Of course, you know I re"er to Mrs. George Vanderbilt and Miss Augusta de Pey.-ter. I would add Miss Eleanor Crosby if any one could persuade hei to be measured, but a woman who reaches six feet is apt to feel shy about it, and there are who insist that this pretty miss would tower above the six-foot mark. My next tallest girls come in a stately group of five, who all measure five ftet nine iuches without their shoes and with then hair hanging. These are Miss Helen de Peyster, .Miss Adele Gardiner, Miss Eva Dupont, Eva Barbey and her sis ter Rita. "Somewhat smaller than these are Miss Nellie Barnes and Fifi Potter— the latter is Mr. James Brown Potter's daughter—and they rise to five feet eight and three-quarters standard. Just an iui'h less than six feet Miss Frances de Peyster measures, and every one of these, with the exception of Mrs. Vanderbilt aud her sisters, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Merrill, are de butantes of this season's blossoming. "Now, of course, there are a score of others equally lofty and imposing, but these will serve to brace my argu ment that the tall girls are pushing into a majority and that, delightful to relate, these young goddesses are as handsome as they are tall. Fur thermore they have set the fashion in favor of unusual height, and dozens of devices are resorted to to compen sate for a lack of inches. Trains, ab surdly high heels, remarkable hair or naments reaching six inches into the air, are adopted, for there seems to be the liveliest struggle on as to who can can show the most swanlike throat,the slimmest waist and arouse most earnest surprised attention on enterin" drawing room.—Chicago Record.

Oilcloth chonld never be scrubbed, but wiped over with a soft flannel cloth dipped in lukewarm water, or, better still, weak tea. Skimmed milk, too, that is warmed is a good wash, not only brightening and cleansing, but also preserving the cloth. If the cloth is a good one, to begin with, the treatment of a coat of varnish once a year will make it wear almost indefi nitely. Before the varnish is applied, the cloth should be washed off quick ly with hot soapsuds. Table Oilcloth*. Table oilcloth for covering tables and counters has been made for many years and even a long time ago it was made iu some variety; but nowadays, Desides being made in various qualities and widths, it is made in hundreds of different designs and colorings, and new styles are added yearly. Some of these oilcloths are sold very cheap. A cloth a yard and a quarter wide can oe bought for teu cents a running yard; from that the prices increase according to width and quality. In finishing the oilcloths and mak •ng them of standard widths there is sometimes cut off an edge of surplus width. These cut-off strips are called butts, and are run through machiues (hat scallop one edge iu an ornament al pattern design. These butts, or scalloped strips of oilcloth, four and a half to six iuches wide, may be found in a great variety of designs, like tbe cloths from which they were cut. They are sold at one cent a yard, and used for edging shelves iu pantries and closets, in place of the scalloped papers so often put to that use. There are wider oilcloths, called shelf oil cloths. which are specially designed and made for that use, that are pro duced in widths of ten, twelve and fourteen iuches. These are made in a great variety of colorings and pat terns and scalloped on the lower edge, just above which there is also an orna mental border on the cloth forming a part of the pattern. Shelf oilcloths sell at five or six cents a yard. These are made often used for lambrequins on shelves in living rooms instead of more costly lambrequins of silks 01 other fabrics, and they are also used by many people instead of the narrow strips with which to edge closet shelves.—New York Suu. The Hunger of Damp Sheet*. No doubt many persons will think that sleeping iu damp sheets is not dangerous or harmful, but they are mistaken. It is at all times difficult to persuade people that airing linen and clothes is not to be accomplished by simply hanging them oa a clothes horse near a tire. Unless each article is uufolded, and its position ehauged until all the moisture has been driven ont of it, the process of drying is not effected. Even if vapor rises from one part it is absorbed bv another. Some people are too careless in the matter of airing the beds and sheets, leaving opened the window for a min ute or two, and then flinging on the countless bedclothes without waiting for the wind to blow off the poisoned air which has accumulated during our hours of sleep. A delicate person will be in danger of catching cold or rheumatism if the sheets have not properly dried, for nothing is more uncomfortable than a cold, damp sheet. In traveling and while stopping at hotels, and cham ber-maids are generally careless in tliis respect, the best way to remedy it is to an room and clothes one's self, and insist u, damp weather on the sheets for a bed being warmed thoroughly before retiring. Failing a precaution of this kind, it is better to remove the damp sheets and s'eep in the blankets than run the risk of get ting a severe cold. It may seem a small matter to some, but we all find it is better in the end to care for and look after our health. Kecipe*.

Not long ago an anxious mother who was impressed by the Educationist and who had thereforo kept her youth ful son and daughter from auy knowl edge of certain stock subjects of old fashioned juveniles, sent them out to in in Gramercy Park, near which she had lately bought a house. They came back at noon all aglow with en thusiam. Oh, yes, they had had such a good time. They had met some other children and had learned some splendid' new plays. "Veil, what did you play?" asked the sympathetic mother of her small son. "Cops and Burglars," was the eager answer. "Dreadful! and what did you play?" she demanded of her sweet-faced lit tle girl.
