This Is undoubtedly the day of tho lit . He woman; but before going farther, let 11 clearly understand what particular fraction of femininity Is Implied in that term. On this point tho little woman herself Is naturally the best nuluority. But here a difficulty crops up. No woman who is not tall will admit that she Is a little woman. It yon endeavor to thrust littleness on Iter she will draw herself up to her full height, and with an eye glittering with latent greatness, declare that she r ot that average height of which every reasonable woman is so Immeas urably proud. A little woman, there fore, is a woman of average height. Vhe is a pocket Venus, who may have blossomed Into a library edition by tie time she has come to the end ot this eulogy.

A Marriage Compact Unquestionably the root of many domestic troubles and marital con. troversles may bo traced to the loose. ness nnd vagueness of the marriage contract. It formulates no definite and practical modus vlvemll for the eon trading parties. Even the "obey clause" Is either omitted altogether or Is no longer taken seriously. The mutual rights and duties of married life nre loft to be determined by com bat nnd compromise, arbitration and conciliation. If the two parties got together at the outset nnd drew up a form of agreement to govern their partnership the chances of controversy nnd disruption would be greatly (11 mlnlshed. Here Is a project for re form upon which the anxious students of the divorce problem might well con eentrate their efforts. The path of reform has already been blazed by a foreslghted couple In Den ver. Col., under the guidance of the mother of the canny bride and the father of the groom. The bride's mother drew up nn agreement, or. rnther, n catalogue of don'ts. which she nsked the groom to sign. The lat ter submitted the draft to his father, who framed n counter pledge for the bride to sign. The concordat possesses high sociological Interest. The groom pledged himself. In part, as follows: I will not smoke in the bedrooms. I will not Join more thnn two secret societies, nnd will spend at least two nights n week ot home. I will not pretend to have business downtown that calls me away right after supper. I will not conceal business condi tions nnd financial conditions from my wife, pretending to be afraid she will worry. I will not quit dressing well, nnd run around looking like n tramp, say ing, "I'm married now, it doesn't make nny difference," but promise, if nble, to buy at least two new suits of clothes each year. I will not insist on choosing the names for nil the babies. I will attend to the furnace myself or hire n man to do it. I will not re fuse to discharge the cook. I will not complain or get sarcastic if the meals nre disarranged or bad, nnd. finally, I will go to church with my wife at least three times a year. And tho bride promised, among other things: Not to invite all my friends to visit, and not to exclude mv husband's friends from the bouse. Not to Join more than three women's clubs or insist upon reading my papers to my husband. Not to keep pet dogs. Not to pick out sonic other mnn In the neighborhood and hold him up ns a model. Not to complain of feeling sick, tired out and nervous ottcner than is neces sary. Not to go shopping more thau three times a week. Not to drag my husband out to even, ing parties when he comes home tired out and worried. Not to insist that the baby gets it! temper and bad trails from its father's family. Not to insist on tryiug to economize by doing home repairing, painting, oi making home furniture. Not to tell my husband the short comings ot the servants every evening at dinner; not to insist on talking to him while he is reading the paper Hi breakfast; not to ask him to suggest what to have for dinner, and finally, not to insist on buying his clothes.

A sailor shape In eyelet embroidery on snowy white linen had a wide scar I of pink sntin rlbboa tied la the back and falling in long ends. Many debutantes of the season count a Renaissance lace and a white Span ish robe among their treasures. These may be worn with vari-colorcd slips of silk. The broadest distinction exists now adays in the gowns we wear, and the occasions on which we wear them. A dinner gown and a ball gown must not be confounded, and this means more gowns.

' cum" AN APPEAL FOR JUSTICE. Mr. 4. G, riirlnt lokee Crlttrlin Care lee Women of Wealth. The women of wealth who weir dia monds, "careless where tho purchase money comes from, when the cost means tho misery of their working sis ters," received especial mention in an address by Mrs. J. (. Phelps Stolces, who was Miss Rose Harriet Pastor, be fore tho "People's Meeting" tit the Ilaptlst Church of the Epiphany in New York City. Mrs. Stokes was one of n notable list of speakers, the others being the Iter. Dr. It. S. MacArthur. of Calvary ilap tlst Church; Mrs. Frederick Natlinn, President of the Consumers' League; the Itev. Dr. Madison C. Peters, pastor of the Church of the Ephlpbany, nnd Mrs. Harriet Stanton Watch. "Working Women's Wrongs" was the subject, nud the miseries of the women of the greater cities, whose lives nre spent In tho sweatshops un der Inhuman masters who drive them to consumption and early graves, were discussed. Mrs. Stokes' address re ceived earnest attention. "Educating the wealthy to sympa. thlze with the condition of the work Ingwoinen," "giving the worklngwotu en the right of the ballot and having them form unions." and "legislation against employers who pay Insufficient wages," were some of the remedies suggested. j The men who amass wealth by pay lug starving wages, and whose minds are never disturbed by any thought of justice toward their employes, also camo iu for criticism. "The Ulhlo utters its anathema against such men," Rev. MacArthur said. "The cries of the wronged toll ers have entered into the ears of the Lord, nnd the gold and silver of such accumulation is cankered, tainted and hopelessly condemned." Mrs. Stokes was Introduced by Itev. rotors as a "young woman whose name on tle lower East Side is a household word for .sympathy unci Im munity." "What I say I know to be true from my own experience of twelve years In n factory," Mrs. Stokes said. "A great flenl of the discontent among working- women is due not so much to any spe cific wrong, as to the general feeling nf absolute Indifference us to the wel fare evidenced by employers. "People who draw dividends should know where the dividends come from. They should know the conditions from which theso earnings spring. What would Jesus say to the women who wear diamonds, when the cost is untold misery nnd all health on the part of their dess fortunate sisters? I think I could guess, and so can you." Mrs. Stokes was questioned phout this declaration by one of her audience and she said: "I do uot mean women should not wear diamonds. I have no objection to the wearing of Jewelry by women who work for the money which buys thetn. "Happiness is Impossible for the working girl who sees herself handi capped in the struggle toward strong er, nobler womanhood; who cries out, or is terribly silent, when she finds herself held clown, ignorant, weak and helpless, in the pitiful struggle fur bread, nnd by the intensity ot brutal disregard and industrial competition over which she hns not the slightest control, "All possible joy is genernlly ex cluded from the workshop," Mrs. Stokes continued, "by the rigid rules against talk and intercourse among the workers. Under such conditions, life becomes mere monotonous drudgery, and work becomes absolutely hateful." Mrs. Stokes declared that "one-third of all worklngwomen between the ngos of twenty and forty-live die annually of consumption, because ot the conditions under .which they arc employed." Antlqne Knrnltnre. It is quite true that persons possess ing antique furniture have come to have nn exaggerated idea ot its value, nud it is dally growing more and more difficult to pick np bnrgalns, even in the more remote towns ot Connecti cut. But one New York woman is re joicing in the possession of a highboy for which she paid only $2. She has since had an offer ot $150 for it. While autolng not far from Ridge- field, Ct.,. recently, she stopped at a farmhouse for some water, and casual ly inquired if the family had any nn tliue furniture to sell. The family looked at her, not seeming to under stand what she meant. 'Old mahogany furniture have you Rny Uint you would like to dispose of?" she repeated. VWnll, now, there's that old chest of drawers on the buck porch maybe thnt's what yonn want." nnd the farm er took her out to inspect tho article In question. It proved to be a handsome highboy of unusual pattern nnd large propor tions. It was battered and one leg wag broken off, hut when the farmer offered it for $2 the offer was accepted, and it was shipped to New York. It was renovated, rubbed down and repaired, and to-day Is the admiration of ail the woman's friends who know the vnlue of antique furniture. New York Suu. Exclusive Theatre. The experiment of a "national" the atre is to be tried in America. Sev eral wealthy men in New York have subscribed sufficient funds to build and endow- the theatre. The highest price for a seat is to be $100. and th lowest ten dollars, though a certain number of seats are to be given to students at the nominal price of a hilling.

An Inquest was held the other day In London on the death of n woman seventy-three years old. Her sister, seventy years old, testified at the In quest. She said she and her sister had lived together and supported them selves by malting mon's neckties. "Whut were you paid?" the cornier nsked. ''Klvepence and sixpence a dozen," (ten or twelve cents). "How many dozen could you make In nn hour?" "Wo rarely made more than two dozen a day between us. We nre not like tile young ones. They might earn more." "You earned about a shilling (twenty-live cents) a day. then," suld a Juror. "How many hours a day did you work?" the coroner nsked. "We tiscd to get up at six o'clock In (he morning, and work till dark iu the tiumiuer." "1 suppose you earn nothing this weather. It doesn't pay to burn gas or oil?" "No. We have done nothing at all lately, our eyes were so bad." "I am told you kept your sister for lome time," the coroner continued. "Yes, ns well ns I could till eight weeks ago, when I broke my arm. I'hat was the death of her." Evening Sun. WORDS OF WISDOM. Prudence with Providence gives pros perity.

Henry Van Dyke. Tlie Meaning or "Con-Goo" Kre. Judge Kililcks. ot Houston, Te::as, lias Handed down an opinion defining the meaning of "goo-goo" eyes, us fol lows: Ry the term "goo-goo eyes" is meant any contortion, unusual movement, or any fixed, unusual attitude of the eyes, providing the said contortion, unusual movement or unusual fixed attitude is made with the intent of attracting, al luring the attention of any woman or female. It will be noted that such eyes, if made at an infant in arms, pro- video it is of the gentler sex. is un lawful upon tho streets of the city. The "Intent" is the point upon which the main construction must be placed. A stare is a "goo-goo eye" if it is committed with Intent fudge Kirllcks further held that a wink, accompanied by nn intent, is a "goo-goo," likewise the cocking of nn eye. ogling, making wide eyes, all come within the broad sweep of the term "goo-goo," if accompanied by In tent. Mueic Rath Charm Far Bnrglar. The tenant of a villa near Hamburg was aroused from his sleep by the sounds of extraordinarily good piano playing issuing from an adjoining sit ting room. He went to tlie door nnd saw a ragged, disreputable looking fel low seated before the piano and play ing Handel's "Messiah" with remark able skill. Suddenly the man broke off with a shrill discord, and throwing himself across the piano, burst into tpars. When the owner entered the room the musician started np in alarm and attempted to escape. He finally confessed that music had been his profession, but that, led away by bad company, he had eventually turned to burglary. The sight "of the piano had made him neglect his more recent business. Moldteri and Che. A correspondent who thinks the chess story we published the oiher day about Moltke is correct sends us another. It is to the effect that Moitke wished to try his strength against a famous pro fessional. A match was arranged, but the professional was warned not to be talkative, as Moltke bated people who had a lot to say. Whether Moitke overheard this warning to the profes sional or not is not told. At any rate, the match came off, and the profes sional was very careful not to ntter a word. At last, however, he took the liberty of saying one ominous word, "Mate." Moltke rose, went to the door, opened it and before going out turned roond and said: "Confounded chatter box." Westminster Gazette.

A manufacturer of celluloid urticlcs says that the danger of these articles exploding into flamo when near n fire Is greatly exaggerated. Nevertheless, he adds this long list of "Don'ts": "Don't place hot curling irous near your celluloid hair comb; don't drop a match on tlie celluloid back of a hair brush or handglass niter you have lighted the ens in vnnr dressing. room; don't use the celluloid handle of your paper-cutter to press down the tobacco in vour lighted nine: don't put your celluloid bends near a light; don't hang a celluloid bead curtain where there is nn iinnroteeted li-rlit- don't keep loose matches iu the same pocket with your celluloid card case or diary." It would be simpler not td use celluloid at all, us a matter of fact. Canning Xolp. Label your cans with name and date. Do not allow elrart of cold nlr to blow across the hot cans. Yv'ash and dry cans thoroughly ufter tlie contents are used nnd then put away each with its own cover on. Light and warmth are enemies of ail canned goods, preserves and jellies. The rubber ring is the most danger ous part ot the can. See that the Tins Is iu perfect condition before using. Sugar is sometimes omit'.ed in fruit tunned for pies. Cans should be examined two or three days after tilling. If syrup leaks out around tho rim. they should be unsealed and heated again. . A box of sand is excellent to set jar of fruit in, as It keeps them dark. The light will spoil some varieties of fruit, strawberries and tomatoes being very sensitive to it. Sauce For Cold Meats Pour suffi cient water over three heaping tea spoonfuls of ground mustard to form a paste, rub smooth, then add half a cupful of vinegar, a pinch of salt and tho beaten yolk of two eggs. Stand the vessel containing the mixture iu a pan of boiling water and stir con stantly until the dressing thickens, then add a generous lump ot butter and stir until it is dissolved. . Sauce For Boiled Meats and Stews Brown two tablespoonfuls of butter; heat one cupful of meat liquor to a boil, skim and season with salt and pepper; stir in one tablespoonful of browned flour, wet np with cold water, and. as it thickens add the browned butter, also one teaspoonful mixed parsley and sweet marjoram, a tew drops of onion juice and one table spoonful of vinegar. Boil up once and serve. Marshm.illow Cake Make the bat ter after any good white cake recipe, and bake in layers. For the filling, boll one cup of sugar and four table spoonfuls of water until it "ropes," then add a half pound of marshmal lows torn into bits, and stir until they dissolve. Whip the whites of three eggs until very stiff; add three table spoonfuls of sugar and stir into the syrup, beating hard all the time. Spread between the layers while warm, as it stiffens very quickly.
