0 WOMAN'S WOULD. A YOUNG WOMAN WITH MANY BUSINESS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. If MIhs Virgtnln I'npe were to tell off her tmnincm ncniiiniilisliniPiits npnn hor fllifrrrs nnd tlinmlis in the approved mntitior, Rho won Id And the linrmal Rap ply far Jiiaclflqnnto. She has been an artist, n writer, n draniinrr, nu actress, H rtctpctlvn, n rnterr-r, a window drpwpr, a table decorator; Kite Introduced Amer ican candles Into Europe, and was the flint to popularize In London tho tipple of the iimtlnee ftlrls Ire cream soda. She lins triivolod from ono end of this coniitry to tint other, nnd every town of any eotiRlderaljln size in the country has echoed thefron frotiof Iier silken skirts. She hns sold to drnmtlst nnd brewers, tn department house tand even to saloon ItPepern, nnd tlnro Isn't n twist or turn In tho drummer's profession with wliirh nho if unfiiniiliar and scarcely nn arti cle of trade that she linn not exploited at Rome time or other. And yet thin iutiniato touch with the activities of tho world Iihh not robbed MISS VlliOISIA fPI. her of tho dainty trait of the average girl who lends the phut in life of bar ex. She is quiet iu speech, refined in manner nnd, wcnriiiR spectacles, as she Rome times does, would be more apt to be taken for a l!oston schoolmistress than the best known and most success ful woman drummer of the day. Miss Pope delight to design ber own frocks nnd makes them, ton, when time permits. Sho is nn accomplished musi cian ami paints iu water colon and oils with a degree of talent that would reward her were she to devote herself to art exclusively. She Is tall nnd alight and aceuiingly physirnlly incapable of all tho bard work that she has crowded into ber short life. Yet she hnR thrived upon it, nnd Rho was never stronger than when she filled three positions at one lime In New York. She was en gaged by a noted Now York caterer to design all his favors and bonbon boxes, she wag understudy for tbe leading lady nt the Madison Square theater and was on the dotectivo force of the New York police department, Clovoland Plain Dealer. i i . Van at Conundrum 8npprs. A clever woman baa invented the conundrum supper for raising money for charitable ends. "It is great fun for tbe guests," she Rayi, "and highly re munerative to tbe philanthropists." Tbe plan is to serve a supper a la carte, presenting tbe bewildered guest with a menu card written in enigma. From tbis bo must order at random eating, of course, what it received un less he is clever enough to gness some bidden viand. Here is a specimen menu: "Pearl gatherers. Spring's offering. Confused and mixed. Women of grit. Herald of tbe dawn. New England specialty. Wood from a celebrated watering place. Boston's overthrow. Hidden tears. Klondike nuggets. One who embarked from tbe ark. Fragrant beans from Arabia. Earth apple salad. Cane fruits." Of conrse tbe guests order blindly from tbe card. All muunorof laughable mistakes and surprises are sure to fol low, . for if a man choose "fragrant beans from Arabia" ho will be sure of a good cup of coffee at least, but if be ordor "spring's offering" a glass of oold water only will be bis luck. "Herald of the dawn" stands for a bird. Choose "confused and mixed," yon will receive a generous dish of pickles. "Women of grit" will bring forth a oouple of delicious sandwiches. "Wood from celebrated watering place," when simmered down, amounts to "Sar atoga chips. " "Pearl gatherers" stand for oysters on ioe, "Boston's overthrow" means a cup of tea. "Cane fruits" are sugar plums. "Klondike nuggets" will bring different varieties of ices. "One who embarked from the ark" will fur nish (oold boiled) bam. And these are bat a few of the puzzles that ten min utes' thongbt will suggost. Each dish is paid for at its regula tions restaurant value, so that tbe end of tbe affair means a goodish little sum in tbe hands of the philanthropists, and yet each guest bas received his money's worth. Chicago Times-Herald. Tbe Artful Madura Girl. - "The artfulness of tbe modorn girl," remarked a woman who was a girl years ago herself to mo, "passeth understand ing. I have, for example-, a young kins woman of 18, whose mother, knowing that my husband was out of town, in vited me to hor bouse to tea one duy lust week. Tho girl was so sweet to mo that in the eJ, though I hadn't the slightest idea of doing it when I Bet out, I asked br to come home with me and stay the night, kho assented not too eagerly and as we walkod toward the car together she lives ou Capitol bill she began to talk of young Mr. . Bo-aud-so, Commander So-aud-io's son, who was so anxious to meet me. No woman is too old to be proof against flattery, wa I expressed an interest in Mr. So-and-so and told her she might bring bim to see me some day. . " 'It would be nice if lie could oome n in mi eteiiniK, tin inn t it sno sum thntmlifullr. I agreed tbnt It would. ' 1 Yon might have sent him a note If tm hail known,' I said, for at iny age it Isn't too often that young men want to limhn my iieiiuiiliitaneo. " 'I ti ll you what,' alio said, quite as If the Idea had just occurred to ber, 'I'll telephone to him nnd see if he bas any other eniMHenient. ' "We went Into the nearest drug store, nnd idly I followed her to the telephone box, tlionidi she called my attention to something at tho other end of tho store. Central gave her tho much desired u ura her tho ynnng man's brother is a phy sician. "Mr this Mr. Ho-nnd-so?' she asked. "Pa use. '"If nil right about tonight,' she said. M?0(iclli?.' "That's all she said. And then and not till then I realized how that inno cent young thing had played It on me. As I mid tiefnro, the artfulness of the modern girl paseth understanding." Washington Post. Tim "HvloTfid Ere" Pd. The latest novelty III love tokens is tho "beloved eye." Of conrse this is only an Imitation of the human eye, but the minlatnre portraits are painted so exquisitely on ivory that the eye of the beloved one seems to be shown In reality. The painting of the eye is a most del icate and laborious task. Ouly a master baud can produce the exact color and expression. This makes the fad a very costly one, therefore its popularity Is confined to the wealthy set. Many sittings have to be given to the minlatnre painter before his skillful Rtrnkes can convey tuo eyes to the Ivory, so tbe work becomes a test of affection on tho part of the man. He Is compel led not ouly to draw heavily ou bis purse, but npoii his time. After the painting is completed it is encircled with a setting of precious stones, ns costly as the purse can buy. Pearls aud diamonds form the favorite Retting, the connecting links of gold be ing invisible. Tho miniature is then ready to be suspended from a rope of pearls or a delicate chain of precious stones. The miniature must swing low upon tbe corsnge, so that it may be neor tho hpart. For tbis reason the bauble Is not fastened on the end of the chain, but bangs midway aud has a fringe of jew eled links falling below it. The token of the "beloved eye" Is undoubtedly fraught with a bit of quaint sentiment, though a prominent society woman gives the reverse side. With a touch of humor she announces "that any man who presents a minia ture of bis own eye to bis sweetheart tacitly admits tbnt he it keeping an eyo upon all overtures extended by his mas culine rivals." The "beloved eye" is a passing fadnt best, doomed to be sbort lived by its very eccentricity nnd costliness. New York World. Women Who Carry the Mall. There are two women mail carriers in southern Berkshire who are doing satisfactory work and appear to enjoy tbe business. Miss Louise Maroome drives thl stage between Ourtisvillo and Stockbridge, making two trips a day, a distance of some four miles. As there is no rnilroad station at Curtis ville she does quite an express business and has a number of passengers. Miss Murcome is about 25 years old and bas been driving some four years. She is noted for her promptness in making tbe trips and her close attention to business. Tbe othor woman stage driver bas been on the road for about six months. She is Miss Olive Oakes of Egremont, who carrios the mail from North Egrement to Oreat Harrington. She is 81 and was learning the dressmaking business when ber father, who bas the contract for the stage line, was taken sick, and Miss Oakes took his place temporarily. He grew worse and died about two months ago. Sho bas continued to drive the stage. This is a bard trip for a woman, the distanoe being some six miles, and she makes two trips a day, and as she lives midway between the two post offices this gives ber considerable extra travel. Thoso women do not use the regulation stage that is seen in piotnres, but light wagons. Their prinoipal oargo is tbe mail and light express packages. The passengers do not number over que or two on a trip exoept on special occa sions. Springfield Republican. Telling a Farrier's Beeret. "Furs beoome very much solLd and need renovation as much as s.iy other part of a woman's wardrobe," says Emma M. Hooper in The Ladies' Home Journal, "but among, tbe many direc tions given for dealing and renovating one seldom flndj anything regarding furs. Furriers keep all such trade secrets striotly, but occasionally there is a leakage, and I am able to give the result of one. Dark furs, as seal, mink and black , marton, are cleaned with fine cedai or muhogany sawdust, which is kept in stock by furriers. "The garment is ripped free from tbe lining and the fur laid on a table with the hair up; then the sawdust is rubbed in the hair and noitber strength uor sawdust spared during the process. When finished, shake tho fur lightly over tho table and save the sawdust that drops out. Then put upon the tublo ono or two feather pillows in their .usual muslin slips, and upon these lay the furs, hair down this time, and beat thoroughly with a switch until tho saw dust is out and tbe fur ns clean as a pin. Keep moving the pillows, as the fur .must have a soft support while beatou. White furs are cleaned with white oornmeal applied as tho sawdust Is ou the darker vurie ties. If white furs are only slightly soilod, they may be oluaned with magnesia in small cubes thut is well rubbed iu and then thor oughly dusted out." xne Daughters of Liberty have dis tributed iu the last year 105,167 in re liof work, as shown, by their recent yearly report. The ProDmnor's Wind am. The stern protPRsor of the feminine .preparatory school sat at bis desk try ing to nnravel a knotty problem when a fluffy haired miss of 16 approached "Please, sir," she began iu a tremu lous voieo, "will yon grant me permis sion to go ont riding with my brother this afternoon?" Now, the old man had not forgotten the days of his youth, neither was he a fool, and looking over bis spectacles he slowly said: "rio yon wnnt to go riding with yonr .brother, do you? Uy the way, is this brother of yours nny relation to you?" Chicago News Srrvlnn MnrrlmirrH.
