    GARB OP THE ENGLISH.
Coats and skirts that might be
labeled "tailor made," but offer con
spicuous examples of the new mean
ing of the old term, have appeared In
London, worn by Frenchwomen, An
English tailor has been moved to say:
"The Frenchwoman is the wisest
woman In the world on the question
of dress. I hope many of our English
customers will study her and be wise
also. Her chief wisdom lies In the
fact that she never buys an ill-fitting
coat or skirt. She will pay the high
est price and, therefore, gets the best
cut. To describe exactly wherein lies
the Frenchwoman's great charm Is
difficult. It may be her wonderful
intuitive knowledge of what to wear
and when to wear it; it may be the
way she insists on having her clothes
cut. I have been working for twenty
years to Induce Englishwomen to
have their coats and bodices cut with
deep and sloping shoulder seams.
They are Just beginning to recognize
that this makes all the difference be
tween a 'smart' and a dowdy coat."

RUINING TO COMPLEXIONS.
It is one of the woes of these later
days that, after we have been driven
to a certain course of action by vocif
erous reformers, another set of re
formers Immediately starts up and
assures us that this Is precisely the
most pernicious thing we could do.
For years the advance guard has been
doing battle with the old-fashioned
tolk, who didn't believe in giving
girls the same sports and the same
muscular training as their brothers.
Girls have been driven to the golf
links and plunged Into the swimming
pool. They have been taken from the
embroidery frame and the piano stool
to climb ropes and disport themselves
on parallel bars. The tennis racquet
has been given to them in place of the
needle. And now, forsooth, having
done all that the reformers demand
ed, a new set of prophets arises and
tells us that we are robbing women
of their beauty. We are ruining their
complexions, hardening their facial
Eggs in Poppers. Chop six or eight olives fine and add
to six hard boiled eggs, also chopped. Make a sauce of a cup
of -rich milk thickened with two .eggs, and when thick add the
eggs and olives and season. Let boil tip once. Re
move the seeds from green peppers and heat the peppers to
serve as cases. Fill with the mixture and serve very hot, on
small plates.

EDUCATION FOR SPANISH GIRLS.
At the International Institute for
Girls In Spain the work of Mrs.
Alice Gordon Gullck, which is now
established at Madrid fifteen regu
lar students have been enrolled this
year, with also several day pupils.
Of the class graduated last June, five
In number, Senorita Carolina Marcial
holds appointment as Instructor in
Spanish in Wellesley College. Ac
cording to recent report from the
institute, urgent need is felt for fur
ther funds, at least $25,000, to com
plete the Alice Gordon Gullck Me
morial Hall, and to make this build
ing ready for the carrying forward of
the broad education which was the
purpose of the founder ot the Insti
tute. Indicative of the attitude of Spain
toward a more liberal education ot
Its women is the recent address given
by a Spanish official high in office,
who says: "The fundamental prob
lem for Spain at the present time is
pedagogical. All our pedagogy is
pure artifice. In Spain, more impor
tance Is given to the word than to the
Idea, to the beauty of form than to
originality of thought, and so there
. results an arrogant generation which
speaks what It does not know. More
than culture, the problem in Spain
"Is that of education. Educate the
mind that it may reason, that it may
think tor itself. Let us Imitate Ger
many; let us bring from other na
tions teachers and professors who
will help us In the resurrection of
our education. This is what other
nations have done, this is what we
ourselves did before any one else.
This Is what that great Queen Isa
bella did, In bringing foreign teachers
to educate her children, an example
which many of the nobles followed.
Money which we spend for scholar
ships In foreign countries, for the
building of schools and for other Im
provements, especially In the educa
tion of women, is not money thrown
away; it is seed that later on will
bear luxuriant fruit." New York
Tribune.
WILL WEAR ASTRAL COLORS.
Whether a shade suits the com
plexion and is in tone with the hair
will not be the chief consideration In
the choosing ot next spring's frocks
bf women ot fashion, says a London
woman who la entitled to a place in
that class. She goes on to assert
that the woman who would be happy,
healthy and well dressed must rob
herself in her astral color. The lda
has caught the feminine fancy, and
not only are hats and gowns carried
out in thir molar scheme, but the bed-
room and boudoir are decorated la
accordance. Your astral color Is gov
erned by the month In which you are
born. January Is green, February
pink, March purple, April red, May
blue, June bronze green, July light
red, August violet, September deep
blue, October bronze, November gold
and December gray. This recalls the
shallow-brained woman of fashion In
one ot Austen's stories, who, when
Informed by a theosophist that her
aura was pale mauve, cried shudder
lngly: "Oh! Of nil colors the one
I detest! Please can't you change It
for me?" However, In regard to the
present fad, let it be added that many
women are wearing their zodiacal
signs on Jewelry, embroidered on
fancy work and engraved in toilet ap
purtenances. New York Press.
MOHAMMEDAN WOMEN'S RIGHTS
The Mohammedan women ot
Orenburg Province have sent to the
Russian Duma a memorial demand
ing that the Mohammedan represen
tatives take steps to free them from
the "despotism" of their husbands,
and give them their share of the
privilege granted by the Czar to the
people.
"Although our holy religion,"
reads the document, "declares us
free, some of the Ignorant despots,
our husbands, are oppressing us and
force us lavishly to submit to their
caprices. According to the books of
doctrine women have the right to
learn, to travel, to pray In mosques,
engage in business, become nurses,
etc., and In Arabia and other coun
tries there have been noted woman
writers and poets. Now our hus
bands would forbid us even to Btudy
our own religion. But we Moham
medan women, Allah be praised! now
begin to get education and to under
stand our holy Charlat (book of doc
trine) which did not deprive the
women of any right.
"Mohammedan deputies, you are
required to demand all rights for Me
hammedan women. You must carry
thrnnetl lAelnlnHnn AafanAncr
' against the arbitrariness of these des-
pot husbands, against oppression and
torture. We, mothers ot the people,
have in our hands the education and
progress of the people, and if our
status be not changed the day will
come when the men, too, will become
slaves, and then the whole Moham
medan world will perish."
No action has yet been taken on
the petition.
"MISS" OR "MRS.?"
A number of unmarried English
women, who have reached an age
about which it would be ungenerous
to inquire too closely, have been com
plaining In the papers of the rule
that all married women shall be
called "Mrs." and all unmarried wo
men "Miss," no matter what their
ages may be. They point out the
fact that a boy, who is "Master" in
his early life, becomes "Mr.1 by the
mere lapse of time, whether he mar
ries or not; but that of a girl, who
begins as "Miss," continues to be
"Miss" until she marries.
This Is not always the case, as the
curious may discover by looking up
the history ot "Miss," "Mrs." and
"Mistress." The Englishwomen main
tain that the title by which they are
called, as spinsters, is not conducive
to the deference which is accorded to
married women, and which they de
mand for themselves. The remedy
they propose that all women be
called "Mrs." after reaching the age
of forty would be of doubtfal effi
cacy. Men would go on calling their
women acquaintances "Miss" until
they received what the newspapers
call "official" notice that the age lim
it was passed. The old "darky" wo
man stated a fact of general applica
tion when she stated that the happiest
person is an old maid "when she has
quit sfrugglln'." The woman who
cares whether she is called "Mlse" or
"Mrs.," when her hair is turning, is
still "strugglln'." Youth's Compan
ion. Wireless Messages to a Balloon.
On May 18 several officers of the
Signal Corps, with Lieut. Prank P.
Labm as pilot, made an ascent in
one of the army balloons from Wash
ington at 1 p. m. and landed at Pa
tuxent, a small place near Baltimore,
at 4.10. During the course of the
flight, messages wre received on
board the balloon from the Govern
ment's wireless station at Annapolis.
A special ft a teen a was Mspended
from the baaket, and the latter was
also enveloped In a wire netting. So
successful waa the experiment, that
Major Russell belteres that balloon
will soon be equipped with wireless
apparatus, which will enable them
not only to receive messages, but
also to send them. With this im
provement, the use ot the balloons
will be greatly Increased in time of
war.
New York City. The blouse that
can be made from bordered material
is one in great demand Just now; for
bordered fabrics are many and beau
tiful while they trim themselves, so
reducing the labor of making to the
minimum. This one Is very charm
ing yet simple in the extreme and
can be utilized not for the bordered
fabrics alone, but for every season
able walsting material. As Illustrated
bordered lawn is used, however, and
the borders are Joined beneath one of
the tucks at the back to give the
requisite effect. There also are shoul
der straps cut from the border which
add largely to the effect, while cuffs
and collar are made to match. The
waist is finished with hems in place
of the usual box pleat, and there are
spaces between these hems and the
tucks which render it peculiarily well
adapted to the bordered materials.'
- The waist is made with fronts and
back. It Is tucked on exceptionally
becoming lines and the straps over
the shoulders are smart in the ex
treme. The long sleeves are tucked
to fit the arms snugly at the lower
portion and are finished with straight
cuffs and there U the favorite turn
over collar at the neck.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
three-eighth yards ot bordered mate
rial twenty-seven or four yards of
plain materials twenty-four, three
and three-eighth yards twenty-seven
or two yards forty-four inches wide.'
Cross-Matched Suit.
Black and white is still immensely
popular, bat if one wiebea to be "In
grand chic one must get the white
and chaudron or copper plaid skirt,
with the cutaway Empire Jacket ot
olid chaudron.
Modified Empire Gowns,
Strictly Empire coats and costumes
are not worn, but the modified Em
pires are exceedingly pretty and becoming.
Sloping Shoulders.
Shoulders Blope as obstinately as
those ot the early Victorian heroine.
Over Waists Bordered Material.
Here are two attractive yet abso
lutely simple over waists which can
be made either from bordered mate
rial or from banding, or from the
beautiful ribbons that are treated in
much the same way. The upper de
sign Includes narrow sleeves that are
cut In one with it, and as shown is
made from bordered foulard, but very
wide ribbons are treated In this way,
while bordered materials are many
and each and every one suits the de
sign. The lower waist is a little sim
pler in effect and sleeveless, conse
quently showing more of the guimpe
worn beneath. As illustrated the ma
terial Is cretonne trimmed with little
gold buttons. The waists are Joined
to foundation girdles, and over these
girdles the full ones are arranged.
The upper over waist is made with
centre front and centre back por
tions, which are joined to the main
ones, and Is closed invisibly at the
back. The lower over waist is made
with bretelles and with a single con
necting strip at the front and at the
back. The closing Is made at the
back, where one side of the strip Is
hooked into- place and the girdle is
hooked together invisibly.
The quantity of material required
tor the medium size Is for the up
per over waist three and one-quarter
yards of bordered material twelve
inches wide; for the lower three and
one-quarter yards nine inches wide;
or if plain material Is used either
over waist will requireone and seven-
eighth yards ot material twenty-one
or twenty-four, one and three-quarter
yards thirty-two or one yard forty-four
inches wide.
The Grandfather Frill.
Much as has been said against the
frill down front going out ot fashion,
It holds its own. There are extremists
who wear an Immense Jabot of net
or fine muslin edged with colored rib
bon and reaching from brooch to belt
The nsual trill, however, is about two
or three inches wide and edged with
colored muslin, or ribbon if one pre
fers. The colored selvedge is pret
tier than the all-white.
S How Perfumes 2
I Are Made. 2
o o
Glass sheets hejd by frames a few
Inches apart are smeared rather
thickly with lard, and between these
sheets the freshly picked blossoms
are scattered, ' touching the frames
but not being pressed by them. In
one day the oil of the flowers exudes,
and the lard absorbs the precious
drops. If the flowers are plentiful
they may be changed every six hours,
and in the case of Jonquils thirty
times; jasmine Is usually changed
eighty times before the layers of lard
are entirely saturated. When the
lard has dissolved as much oil as
possible from the flowers, it Is melted
and dissolved In purified alcohol made
from grain. When this mixture is
filtered, the concentrated extract may
be redlssolved in spirits, diluted, or
mixed with other oils according to the
strength or quality desired.
Attar of roses and neroly, the base
of eau de cologne, are made by a dif
ferent method. The perfume may be
extracted by an ordinary process of
distillation If a very even heat is ob
tained, but the usual method Is the
bain-marie. A large kettle of lard Is
Immersed in a tub ot water at the
boiling point until the grease reaches
a uniform temperature and is entirely
melted. Into this warm lard the
petals of orange blossoms or of roses
are thrown. The petals remain a day
or less In this bath, and then the in
odorous wilted flowers are removed
and fresh ones submerged until the
mixture attains the desired Btrength.
The women beat the mixture Into a
cream. After the pomade is made,
the oil may be shipped in this state,
or distilled and sold In its concen
trated form as attar of roses or
neroly, or diluted to the strength of
"perfume" or eau de cologne.
Twenty thousand pounds of rose
petals are required to make one pound
of attar of roses, valued at about
$200. A thousand pounds approxi
mately of the petals of the bitter or
ange are necessary to make a pound
of neroly, valued at $20 on an aver
age. Jane Rosamond White, In The
World To-Day.
