Definition of Lady.
The little girl who defined a lady
as "A clean woman who Is kind," was
very nearly right In the estimation of
Helen C. Dennett In The New Idea
Woman's Magazine. She says: '.'We
are all clean and kind at times. Cut
to be always clean and kind means llv
tag up to a pretty high standard; and
Ten when one had done one's best to
bs clean and kind always, there come
moments when one wonders if, to the
little child who saw so clearly, one
Would really be a lady.
Mrs. Ward Against Women Voting.
Mrs. Humphrey Ward Is one of the
most Implacable opponents of woman
suffrage. She argues against It with
all the logic of a man and all the ear
nestness of a -woman. The foremost
woman In British literary life, a re
spected student of economic questions,
and a sympathizer with the laboring
classes, Mrs. Ward Is a force in the
opposition that the BufTraglsts cannot
match. With the co-operation of Lord
Rothschild and the Marchioness of
Tweesdale as president, she has or
ganlzed the National Woman's Anti-
Suffrage Association, and Is winning
many Influential women to Its cause
On the other hand, the suffrage move
ment, Mrs. Ward Insists, Is losing
(round, and doomed to defeat Dis
patch. No Time for Domestic Science.
No one expects a majority of college
girls to look kindly on certain Inno
rations proposed by economic and so-
elologlcal societies which have been
meeting In this country and Europe.
College women assert there Is no time
In those Institutions to teach domestic
science, and the moral responsibilities
of every woman as a potential factor
In the home. In fact, certain heads of
colleges pooh-pooh the idea as vlston
iry. They point out that women In the
past' were entirely satisfactory as
wives and mothers without a special
course In the schools. Says the pres
ident of Bryn Mawr: "The tendency
nowadays Is to throw the entire re
sponsibility on teachers instead of
mothers. Colleges are not the places
In which to train a girl In every de
tail of her home duties and to spe
cialize, as sociologists suggest." New
York Press.
What a Girl Should Learn.
Not everyone can loam to play, or
HJng, or paint well enough to give
pleasure to her friends, but the follow
ing good habits may be acquired and
poor ones be avoided by any one:
Never fuss or fidget
Close the door, and close It softly.
Have an hour of rising, and rise.
Always know where your belongings
are. a.
Learn to make bread as well as
cake. '
Keep your own room In tasteful or
der. Never appear at breakfast without
a collar.
Never go about with shoes unbut
toned. Never let a button stay off 24 hours.
Speak clearly enough for all to un
derstand. Never let a day pass without doing
something " to make somebody com
fortable. Style Magazine. .
, Method In Your Work.
A young and Inexperienced house
wife often begins her married life with
an Idea that the number of duties that
lie before her are positively appalling,
and with the belief that unless she
gives up everything that Interested her
before marriage, she cannot possibly
pull through.
Following such a belief, she is af
terward found In the toils of multitu
dinous triaing duties without a mo
ment for herself. Yet If a method
nad been mapped out from the first,
she might have kept her old Interests,
and all would have gone well.
For Instance, all jobs on one floor
should be In sequence, and all compar
atively dirty jobs, such as dusting,
lamp cleaning, arranging flowers, etc.,
should be finished off before needle
work, or anything requiring equally
Clean hands, is entered upon, says Wo
man's Life. If you neglect these little
points half the morning is absorbed in
running up and down stairs and wash
ing hands, in talking of what Is going
to be done and trying to remember
what you were on the point of com
mencing. ( She Has Blue Hair.
This is from Paris, under Saturday's
date: Mrs. Tiffany, who was Miss
Mary Virginia Smith, of Mobile, Ala.,
Is wearing blue hair. Of course this
startling statement must not be taken
literally. But It is absolutely true that
Mrs. Tiffany has set on end the hair
of all the hairdreceres in Paris and
they threaten to boycott her. They
vow that she washes her hair in a pe
culiar bluing at least once a week, and
to gives it the peculiar bluish lustre
which Is so much admired in certain
lovely types of Irish girls.
The threatening hairdressers are led
by (Hard, the right-hand man of Hel
ens 8wift the widely known beauty
docjr. They fear that If the exact
composition of the Tiffany hair-wash
comes to be known no fashionable wo
man will use the hair-washes now In
vogue, but all will have hair blue as
the beard of him who hated women
curious women.
So tbe hairdressers row that unless
Mrs. Tiffnay renounces that fascinat
ing bias tinge, they will not dress her
hair In any way; will not wave nor
curl It; will not sell her any toilet re
quisite.
Mrs. Tiffany, who lives on BoIb da
Boulogne Square, Is very powerful In
society, Deing related to many fashion.
auies.
American Girls.
'Our American girls," remarked
Mrs. Norma Clark, of the Chicago
Girls' Industrial School, "worry too
much about their 'careers.' Positively
1 Dellove the girls of today begin to
Btew about their careers In life long
before the boys do.
"One can never toll to what point of
the compass a girl's mind may turn,
especially a very pretty girl, when
some of the 'young things' are dying
to break Into the political game, crowd
the lecture platform, pulpit, or do
horseshoeing or plumbing.
"The fact remains, however, and the
belief Is widespread and strong, that
the homemaklng, homestaylng, con
tented women, who love their hue
bands and famlllos, are the greatest
preservers and upbulldcrs of the fam
ily fireside and enemies to the divorce
court. And in this respect it Is re
freshing to learn of a young woman,
even one, wno boldly declares for a
real preference for cooking and sewing
and other duties that the girl with un
satisfied 'longings' for a publiccareer
would scorn as being mental. Even
though the girl who sews and cooks
for her husband may perpetrate won
derrul pastry and sometimes get a
button In the wrong place, she is nev
erthelcss of sterling value in the
world and the pity Is she Is not more
frequently seen."
The Well-Dressed Woman.
Always be well gloved and well shod,
and the dress will take care of lUelf,
"It Is very simple," advises the woman
who has never earned a slice of bread
and butter In her life, and would prob
ably starve If she were suddenly left
to support herself. Every woman
knows that good gloves and good shoes
are a necessary part of her dress, and
she knows, too, that much depends on
her personal appearance; but when
the rent of her hall bedroom Is paid.
or perhaps of the little flat where her
mother keeps house for herself and
several small brothers and sisters, and
when the milk and gas and bread and
other bills are paid, to be well gloved
and well shod Is far less simple than
it sounds. To be well gloved, one
must have more than one pair, and
ditto with shoes. Sometimes one can
spare the change to buy gloves, but by
the time shoe money has accumulated
the gloves are worn; so while former
ly she had good gloves and shabby
sheos, she now has good shoes and
shabby gloves. And so It goes. "Have
one good tailor-made suit Bind plenty
of shirt waists," advises another wo
man. We" and good. Shirt waists
mean laundry bills, and unless a tail
ored suit be of the more or less expen
sive cloth, which will not shrink with
the first foggy evening or wear up
rough after a few outings, the effect of
trying to be well dressed on one suit
falls after a week or two. Leslie's
Weekly.
Fashion Notes.
Sliver and miuve make one of the
most charming possible color effects In
trimmings.
In slippers the tendency Is toward
lower cuts and trimmings of rosettes
and cut steel or rhlnestone buckles.
One of the prettiest novelties In
shirt-waists Is au almost infinitesimal
Valenciennes insertion In the yokes.
Though dlrectotre styles still govern
they are much softened and toned
down by strong forecasts of the early
empire.
Laces showing metal threads . are
handsome and decorative for certain
purposes, notably for trimming even
ing wraps.
Net may now be reckoned among
the lingerie stuffs, and is freely com
bined with batiste, lawu, etc., for the
new stock.
Brown roses miy not be botanlcally
corrcet, but made by artists in arti
ficial flowers, as some of them are,
they are certainly lovely.
The long mousquetaire and lego'-
mutton sleeves are the most impor
tant characteristics of the newest
fashion In shirt-waists.
It is the latest idea to have a skirt
of plaid with coat of plain material, or
vice versa, or to have stripes combin
ed with the plain Instead of the plaid.
There is a very distinct empire note
in evening coats and capes, and In con
sequence thAy show the lines of the
figure far more clearly than last sea
son.
Some of the new black robes have
wide border effects at the bottom In
Oriental colorings - and patterns.
Among the white lace robes are tunic
effects.
Sometimes the net Itself is silver or
gold coated, and these are embroider
ed in colored silks. Many antique
deMns are embroidered on nets or
m alines.
Some smart wings, rather large In
size, are made from microscopic iri
descent feathers, arranged so that
they are in marked lines of contrast
ing colors.
Steel and silver, as well as gold, are
used In embroidering the nets and
laces, and steel on gray and silver ou
rose red, with gold on white and
green for the laces are dyed all col
orsare effective.
New York City. The fancy walBt
that Is made with the girdle attached
Is so attractive and so becoming as
well as so satisfactory to wear that it
Is quite easy to explain Its growing
popularity. This one Is closed Invisi
bly at the back and made In gulmpe
style, but the sleeves can be made to
match the yoke or of thinner material
in color to match the blouse as liked,
and the trimming portion can be al
most any 'one of the handsome trim
ming materials offered, or be made of
plain silk or other material either
braided with soutache or embroid
ered. In this Instance both the blousi
and trimming portions are braided
with soutache,' while the chemisette
and the long sleeves are of all-over
lace and the girdle Is of messaline
satin. The color of the blouse and
the girdle Is one of the pretty new
grays, but the lace Is Ivory white,
such combinations being very lovely
as well as very fashionable. Net
tucked, plain and in all fancy designs
Is much used for the gulmpe portions,
however, and can be used In match
ing color if preferred.
The waist Is made with a lining
which is smoothly fitted, and on
which Is arranged the draped chemi
sette and the portions of the blouse,
while the long sleeves are Joined to
Its armholes, the shorter ones being
joined to the blouse only. The lower
edges of the blouse iind lining are
joined to a fitted girdle over which
the draped one is arranged.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is one and seven-
eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-
four, one and a quarter yards thirty
two, seven-eighth yard forty-four
with three-eighth yard eighteen
Inches wide for the chemisette and
long sleeves, five-eighth yard of stlk
for the girdle, soutache according to
design used.
Jet Jewelry.
It Is now popular. It Is no longer
reserved for the old.
New Mouses Have Long Sleeves.
Even the new blouses and separate
waists, whether for morning, after
noon or evening use, will Invariably
display the long sleeve. Those for
morning wear are In bishop sleeve
style, closing with band cuffs.
Rosettes For Buttons.
As fashionable as big, black soft
satin buttons are, some of the smart
est coats shows rosettes Instead.
These are placed at regular Intervals
and are made of panne velvet or satin.
' " Huff Gown.
As a rival of white this season for
handsome evening gowns there Is a
pale shade of buff which Is exceed
ingly attractive. It comes In chiffon
f loth, satin and gauzes.
Misses' Gulmpe.
Gulmpe dresses are so general for
young girls that pretty gulrapes are
always needed. This one Is novel and
attractive, yet quite simple and al
lows variations of several sorts. In
the Illustration It Is made of lawn,
with embroidered net applied to form
a yoke and front portion and with
mouBquetalre sleeveB, but the lace
could be applied to make a yoke only
J If preferred, and either plain or mous-
quotaire sleeves can be cut off in
three-quarter length. All-ovor luce,
tucked, fancy and plain nots, lingerie
material, chiffon, thin silk and every
thing of the sort Is appropriate for
the facing and sleeveB; If liked the
gulmpe can be made of one material
throughout. When made with the
facings the foundation or lining can
be cut away beneath to give a trans
parent effect. The mousquetaire
sleeves are the most practical when
arranged over the plain ones, serving
as a lining, for this lining can be cut
from thin transparent material if de
sirable, while it serves as support for
the fulness, but they can, neverthe-
less, be made unllned and the gath
ers simply stayed if bettor liked.
The gulmpe Is made with front and
backs. The facings are applied on in
dicated lines, and the high collar
finishes the neck. The plain sleeves
are made In two portions, but the
full or mousquetaire sleeves are cut
all In one.
The quantity of material required
for tho sixteen-year size Is two and
three-quarter yards twenty-one, one
and five-eighth yards thlrty-slx inches
wide with three yards eighteen or one
and a half yards forty-four inches
wide to make as Illustrated.
Waist Smartness.
Crepe de chine of heavy soft tex
ture is, it is said, to be ond of the
leading materials for fall waists for
tailor-mades. Net of the same color
as the gown is also to be used.
A New Color.
The new color, manllle, much seen
In Paris in model hats and gowns, Is
a very dark brownish taupe, and has
been seen on bats designed by Pari
sian milliners.
To Clean Marble Mantelpieces.
Dissolve an ounce of soda In a quar
ter of a pint of water, and add to It
enough whiting to make a paste. Rub
this compound well Into the article to
be cleaned, and when dry wash It off
with clean water. After this treat
ment the marble should look like new.
Home Notes.
Stocking Trunks.
The trunk was lined with pink satin
a small, black trunk, ornate with
rich brass trimmings. "This Ib a
stocking trunk," the dealer said.
"There are hat trunks, shoe trunks,
fur trunks, lace trunks at last the
stocking trunk appears. Many wom
en, you know, plunge heavily in the
matter of stockings. It Is not rare to
see lace stockings that cost $100 a
pair. - All such hose are very frail,
7ery delicate; they must not be torn
or soiled; hence the stocking trunk
with Its satin lining.
"These six compartments will hold
100 pairs. That Is a good many. Yet
a beautiful actress told me yesterday
bb she bought a stocking trunk, that
she had 125 pairs worth over f 1000.
New York Press.
A Way to Fool the Cat.
It Is little use for bird lovers to
meet and pass resolutions, if they are
going to allow an army of cats to eat
up three-fourths or more of the song
birds that are hatched, says a writer
In Bird Lore. - The time when the do
mcstlo cat accomplishes her most ter
ribly effective work 1b In the early
summer, when the young birds are
unable to fly more than a few feet at
a time, and are easily picked up, eith
er night or day. To prevent these
depredations, bird lovers are advised
to catch the young birds when they
begin to fly and put them In a barrel
standing in the shade of a tree near
enough to the house so that it can be
watched. In thlB must be put food
and water, and It must be securely
covered at night. The parents soon
find the little ones In their new home,
and when they are able to fly upward
out of the barrel, they will be able to
take care of themselves.
Dainty Bed Coverings.
Although the edict of up-to-date hy
gienic science against the feather-bed
prevents the modern woman from en
joying the luxury of sinking Into a
bed of down, yet she may at least
slumber beneath a coverlid of the soft
feathers, for despite the vogue of
blankets the down quilt continues to
hold Its place In the fashionable bou
doir. This season an attempt is being
made to get away from the stereo
typed patterns of materials which
have been used for covering these
quilts for so many seasons. It Is
doubtful whether anything will tie
found prettier than the flowered sat
ins, sateens and sllkollnes, with their
huge bunches of pink, blue or yellow
blossoms and green leaves. Plain
satins are being used for many of the
new quilts, one of Ivory satin beauti
fully quilted being a very attractive
addition to a luxurious bedroom. An
other, new style of quilt has two col
ors of plain satin used for Its cover
ing, the quilt being tufted with nar
row ribbon. The centre of one quilt
was of white brocaded satin with a
broad band of lavender satin quilted
for a border. The other quilt was
tufted with tiny lavender ribbons. An
other quilt was covered In the centre
with a white striped silk having an
old fashioned design of palm leaves.
There was a broad band of blue satin
for a border, and outside of this a
band of the palm leaf silk. New York
Herald.

WEEKLY TRADE SUMMARY
Reports from All Sections Indicate
Better Conditions as Obtaining.
New York. "Bradsteets" says:
"Retail and holiday trade are mora
In evidence this week, and as these
have expanded, business in regular
wholesale and Jobbing lines has quiet
ed down. Colder weather and the
approach of the close of the year have
helped to stimulate final distribution,
but it Is noted that both regular re
tall trade and the usual Christmas
shopping demand have not yet fully
met expectations at many points, and
particularly In the South, where low
priced cotton is a retarding feature.
Best reports as to trade come from
the Southwest and the spring wheat
and Pacific Northwest. In wholesale
and jobbing, except where the latter
trades are engaged In quick ship
ments to meet current needs, there
Is a disposition to go slower, pending
a clearer view of year-end distribu
tion and the taking of Inventories.
There Is also In evidence some con
servatism as to placing spring busi
ness, because of more or less marked
advances In prices of raw and manu
factured products tad careful buying
by retailers.
"In Industrial lines, while there is
still some Idle machinery, the volume
of orders booked Is sufficient to In
duce manufacturers to go ahead free
ly, though this branch notes the In
fluence of higher prices on some raw
materials. An example of .current ac
tivity in manufacturing is affored by
a report of pig Iron production for
November was larger than for any
previous month this year, and 50 per
cent In advance of January.
"Final building reports for Novem
ber also testify to activity in this line
for a close-to-end-of-year period.
