In order, but often the cut of the outer

No Frenchwoman would think of
buying a ready made petticoat and
wearing It Just as she finds it. The
cumbersome drawstring at the back
must be done away with, and a snug

skirt must be fitted smoothly over the

upon the figure of the wearer. '

Two Folitical Parties, One In
Asia, the Oilier In America, Favor

Waking Up :: :: :: :: ;: ::
I have Just been reading tliu pint
form of the Socialist party of the state
of New York. Among other measures
it advocates for all workers state In
surance against accident, sickness and
old age, public ownership of all means
of transportation and, Dually, equal
suffrage for both sexes. Last year the
platform of the American Socialists
contulued this same broad suffrage
plank. It was a genuine surprise to
me a few days after reading the Ameri
can Socialists' statement of doctrine to
see an announcement of the alms of the
reform party of Japan. It Is a party
rapidly growing in power. Jups never
do anything by halves when the light
once breaks In on them. The pro
gramme of the Japanese reform party
calls for Increase of pay and reduction
of labor hours for the working classes
and demands the abolishment of titular
distinctions at the very time when
American women are selling them
selves soul and body to get a handle to
their names. The Jap party of progress
proclaims opposition to all monopolies
and, like the American Socialist party,
demands universal male and female
suffrage. What do you think of that?
A woman's rights political party in
Japan, a party composed of men, too,
for the little women of Japan are only
beginning to awaken from their sleep
of 3,000 years! Even China now has
a dally paper published for women In
reking, aud It Is well sustained. Twice
the experiment litis been made In this
country of establishing a dally paper
In which women's Interests were large
ly considered, and In neither case was
It a go. Verily, will not the almond
eyed heathen female go into the king
dom ahead of the American woman,
with all her alleged enlightenment?

' I have been Interested, not to say
amused, at an announcement of the
meeting of the national divorce con
gress at Washington. The delegates
hall from every state in the Union and
consist largely of Judges, lawyers and
divines. There is no mention of a soli
tary woman delegate In the batch. One
would conclude from this that women
have no concern with the subject; that
It Is only men who can be married and
divorced.

London has a new Idea quite ahead
of anything In America. It is a music
hall for women. A woman manages tt,
and her purpose is to furnish a place of
amusement where girls of any age
may go unehaperoned with perfect
safety. There will be nothing In the
vaudeville entertainments at this hall
to offend the most refined taste. Men
are not admitted.

Take note. A rhlladelphla Journal
sent a reporter to Interview a mnn
more than a century old and ask hi in
how he had managed to keep alive and
sound so long. "By perseverance," re
plied the aged one. "I Jos' kep' on llv

would rouud the century mark In good
shape If they refused to knuckle under
to their troubles and ailments and Just
calmly willed to "keep on Hvln'."

Talking of how much harder it la for
a girl than for a young man to obtain
paying employment, look here: Several

Look Like New.
Ever nui Ice the difference between
the neat and handy woman's umbrella
aud that of the careless, haphazard
woman who flops along any old way.
After a rainstorm, when the neat wo
man's umbrella Is wet and dripping,
she opens It part way and puts It bun
dle end down In a convenient place to
dry. If she spread It nut fully the silk
would crack and spill s It got dry. If
thy point end were down the water
would run Into the ribs at the top of
the umbrella and rust them.
When the umbrella is quite dry the
neat woman opens It sllg'.itly and
shakes It vigorously to get all the wrin
kles out and leave the folds free. Next
she holds the umbrella horizontally In
front of liar, turning It slowly, getting
each fold In place. That done, she
holds It perpendicular, point upward,
and prepares to roll It. Leaving the
folds as she placed them, with ber left
hand she clasps it firmly at the top
Just where the silk begins. Her right
band grasps the lower ends of the
steel ribs and holds them in place. The
pleture shows you how to do It. Then,
with the fold on which the, strap Is
sewed next you, begin to turn the um
brella from left to right. Again the
picture shows you how this Is done.
As the rolling proceeds slide your left
band slowly down along the folds to
keep them In place. Remember to

keep your grasp on the lower ends of

when your left hand has slldden down

strap neatly, and there you are!

can be made of It. Not every woman
knows, however, that nimble fingers
can take two hairpins and make of
them a "dandy" frame to hold a rare
plaque or plate against the wall. If a
city woman wanted such a small
frame she would say to herself, "I'll
get one at the ten cent store." But In
the country there Is no ten cent store,
and the woman's brain and nimble
fingers must serve her Instead.
Very well. Let her take two long
hairpins and pull them out straight.
With a pair of small pliers she can
bend each of the four ends Into the
form of a hook. Then she twists the
wires together In the middle, bending
the ends far apart. Careful manipula
tion will fix the four arms of the twist

with the booked ends all turned one

plate may be put Into it The books

suspend your plate from It.

Teeli Useful For Women.
The Japs excel all the rest of the
world In respect to manual training,
and we of the west bare much to learn
from them. There are several simple
mechanical tools every girl and woman
should be taught to use. For one
thing, every mother's iaughter should
have a penknife and, what la mora,
keep It sharp and in good order. It Is
a disgrace not to be able to sharpen
a pencil. A sharp penknife Is the best
Implement for ripping long and diffi
cult seams and for cutting pasteboard
r leather. Other tools every woman
shoald know the expert use of are a
hammer, a screwdriver, a pair of pliers
and a gimlet. Many a time a woman
finds the task of screwing a strong
clothes hook Into wood too much for
her. In such case if, as a starter, she
first bores a shallow hole luto-the wood
with a small gimlet the rest of the
work will be easy.
