LITTLE, FOLES' FASHIONS.
Children’s cambric dresses are made in
simple styles which niay be easily laun-
dried. A little more embroidery is used
than last season. Very frequently a full
ruffle of the dress material, about four
inches deep finishes the neck of blouse
dresses. Black velvet sashes of ribbon.
about two inches wide are used on small
children’s dresses, and they often begin
on the shoulder, go down to ‘the waist

WHAT AN ENERGETIC WOMAN DOES.
- Mrs. Jane Fraseur Safley, of Tama
County, Towa,is the owner of 1040 acres
of fine prairie land and does her own
farming. She sold $5000 worth of fat
cattle, $1205 worth of fat hogs and $450
worth of horses last year. About 800
acres of ber land is in grass, the balance
in oats and corn. Mrs. Safley has at-
tended every school election in her sub-
district for twelve years, and, while re-
fusing to be elected director, has univer-
sally voted for director and, according
to the Tipton Advertiser, secured the
best man for said office. The same
teacher has taught her school for eight
consecutive terms. Mrs. Safley’s only
son, Fred, is a graduate from Cornell.

CAN'T READ A NEWSPAPER.
Queen Victoria isn’t allowed to handle
a newspaper of any kind, or a magazine,
or a letter from any person except from
her own family, and no member of the
royal family or household is allowed to
speak to her of any piece of news in any,
publication. ~All the information the
Queen is permitted to have must first be
strained through the intellect of a man
whose business is to cut out from the
papers each day what he thinks she
would like to know:
These scraps he fastens on a silk
sheet, with a gold fringe all about it, and
presents it to her unfortunate Majesty.
The silken sheet with gold fringe is
imperative for all communications to the
Queen. bi
Any one who wishes to send the Queen
a personal poem or a communication of
any kind (except a personal letter, which
the poor lady isn't allowed to have at all)
must have if printed in gilt letters on
one of these silk sheeis with a gold
fringe, just so many inches wide and no
wider, ali about it, :
These gold trimmings will be re-
turned to him in time as they are expen-
sive, and the Queen is kindly and
they are imperative.—Fashioa Bazar,
ABSURD HEAD-DRESS.
Stewart, the great hairdresser, says:
At no period in the history of the world
was anything more absurd in head-dress
worn than at theclose of the Eighteenth
Century. The body of these monuments
of ugliness was formed of tow, over
which the hair was turned and false hair
added in great curls, bobs and ties, and
powdered to profusion, then hung all
over with vulgarly large rows ot pearls or
glass beads, fit only to decorate a chan-
delier. Flowers as obtrusive were stuck
about this heap of finery, which was sur-
mounted by broad silken bands and
great ostrich feathers, until ‘the head-
dress of 3 lady added three feet to her
stature.” Imagine the discomfiture of
people who attended the play and wished
to view the stage! Three feet of finery
hiding from sight the very thing one
came to see, In this-era of tiny theatre
bonnets the picture drawn by the famous
Btewart reduces to a minimum the 1n-
consideration on the part of our women
of to-day who but yesterday, or quite
recently, wore the broad flaring street
hat to the theatre and expected the
people sitting behind to dodge about ,in
order to catch an ‘occasional glimpse of
the play and suffer from a crick in their
necks for days thereafter.——New York

cranks. The prejudice against them
entering the medical profession was
almost universal, and strange as it may
they should be specially fitted and in
even more profound than the same pre-
judice among the sterner sex. Bat
steadily, though. slowly, public senti-
ment has advanced to accord to women
the obvious just right of entering any
of the prolessions, and women now prae-
tice both law and medicine in every sec
tion of the country.
The progress of the age in advancing
women to their just rights in the battle
of life was impressively illustrated in the
Academy of Music during the last week,
when forty-two young women appeared
upon the stage as graduates of the
Woman's Medical College, of this city,
with their fairly won titles of Doctors of
Medicine. It is gratifying to know thal
this college has been in existence for
forty years, but it is only within the last
score of years that it has been able to
present anything approaching a gradua-
ting class respectable in numbers. Now
womeL practitioners are not only known
but respected in almost every community,
and the success they have attained in the
profession more than justifies the great
battle that was fought to win for them
open doors to distinction in the profes-
sion. :
It will seem strange to the readers of
history half a century hence to learn that
women were excluded from the profes.
sions of the country until even after th:
noon -tide of the Nineteenth Century, for
there is little reason to doubt that in
physicians will fairly divide the medical
practice with their professional brethern,
and men. physicians, in’ the many cases
in which every consideration of delicacy
should prefer a ‘women physician, will
be quite as uncommon as women wera
generations ago.—Philadelphia Times.
FASHION NOTES.

Yachting suits of burnt sienna are
sidered very natty.
Corded challies sprinkled with flowers
are a summer novelty. :
All white costumes are’to be more pop:
ular this season than ever.
Field thistles nod from the top of the
most fashionable chapeaux.
Fine cloth with close upstanding cords
of contrasting color is much seen in the
shops. :
Mantles are made in the visite form,
aud are of fine cloth in light brown,
electric blue or terra cotta.
Hats are a mass of flowers these days,
and the art of imitating nature is frait-
ful of most charming results.
Short sleeves have again returned for
dinner and theatre toilettes. Sometimes
lace is ruffled at the top of the gloves,
and often gold bracelets set with prec-
ious stones ara worn on the arms.
One of the most distinguished and
stylish costumes of the season is a lug-
trous black silk gown, jet trimmed, with
tan parasol, tan suede gloves and tan.
colored velvet ‘‘calf leather" shoes.
A tea gown recently seen was of old
rose bengaline, trimmed elaborately with
embroidery, the front made loose, the
back en Watteau, a full frill about the
throat and point lace edging the sleeves.
The Eton jacket has been sadly abused
by foreigners in its makeup. Some.
times a garment is called that when it
has long coattails, whereas the veritable
¢Eton” should not come below the)
waist. :
A pretty tea gown recently worn was
of heliotrope crepon, made with a close
fitting coat back, opening over a frout
of yellow trimmed with gold aad pearls,
the sleeves pendant, with rufl:d under-
sleeves. ’
A Russian coat to be worn for travel.
ing is made of green cloth, drawn inio
the waist with a leather belt, the sleaves
ending in a band at the wrist, and em
broidered like the collar, in blue, yellow
and red, large buttons and loops of yel-
low fastening it down the froat.
Fur is as much used on - evening
dresses as in midwinter, and especially
on the new changeable velvets. A hem
of fur borders the skirt and defines the
neck and sleeves. Chinchilla, otter,
blue fox and black fox are the furs used.
Neither flowers nor ribbons may be worn,
but a bertha of lace frequently falls be-
low the fur.
The outside of some of the new packet-
books represents more value than the in-
side. White ivory and white kid with
silver or gold mountings, gray suede
with a covering of woven steel, and
