RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STAGE.
Miss Mary Shaw In a lecture deliv
ered before the William Lloyd Gar
rison Equal Rights Association de
clared that the American women were
responsible for the conditions on the
American stage. She said It was not
actresses and actors of great genius
who made money and were acceptable
to the American theatregoers. The
successful actress was the kind of
woman of whom other women said
"Isn't she sweet?" The successful
actor was the man who they thought
could make love gracefully. New

SCARFS FOR EVENING.
Scarfs will be used instead of even
ing cloaks. It Is only the decolletage
that requires protection on warm
evenings, and the scarf Is all that is
necessary. Delightful scarfs are
.woven for this purpose In supple gold
and silver tissue, bordered with
fringe and embroidered with bullion
thread. Transparent evening cloaks,
too, have evolved from he scarf idea.
lA scarf is arranged over a soft silk
Coke, with the ends falling down In
front, and gathered to the edge of the
yoke is a cloak of net or some other
transparent material which gives a
light protection from dust, but which
Is worn chiefly for effect. New York

French Fritter Batter Beat thoroughly the yolks of
two eggs, add to them a half cup cold water and one cup
flour which has been, sifted with a half teaspoonful salt
Beat In a tablespoonful of olive oil, and if the batter seems
too thick add more cold water. Fold in the stiffly whipped
whites of the eggs and stand on the ice for an hour before
frying by the spoonful in deep hot fat.
City, the report of the work for the
year showed thit nearly 6000 chil
dren had been cared for. The Abbey
House Is at 141st street and Third
avenue and is the first day nursery
to be established in the Bronx. It
owes its existence to Miss Julia Lath
ers, who is its main financial support.
It was named as a memorial for her
mother and sister, Abbey Pitman
Lathers and Abbey Caroline Lathers.
So greatly is the work appreciated in
the neighborhood that the school
teachers, who know the need of such
si place almost better than any other
class, have contributed more than
half the cribs. The churches in the
Bronx have also contributed liberally.

, FAULTS OF OUR GARDENS.
Tardily, but interestingly, an Eng
lishwoman who took many letters of
Introduction to Newport last summer
is making comments on the gardens
there, of which she made a careful
study. She says American women
pat one another on the back, and talk
about their great love for art, yet let
opportunity go by to prove that love.
She says they leave their gardens al
most entirely to the care of the gar
deners or else make silly "improve
ments" that will be eyesores for
iyears. Though there are men who
understand how to lay out gardens In
agreeable colors which have "the
quiet charm of an old rug," the Ideas
of many others are limited In scope
land they have little knowledge of the
possibility of color. In short, she
finds that no garden that is left to
the care of underlings can be artisti
cally perfect. New York Press.
NEW YORK GIRLS DON'T BLUSH,
i "It's funny, but it's true," sighed
the gray-headed man, "that most all
jthe blushing that is done in New York
nowadays is done by men. Novelists
ought to make a note of that. If they
want to be strictly accurate in their
attempts to portray contemporaneous
'ew York life .they must cut out that
old-fashioned phrase, 'He blushed
like a girl.' That doesn't mean any
thing now. Girls don't blush any
(more; that is, New York girls don't.
Not for an age have I seen a feminine
face suffused with the flush romantic.
But I've seen men blush, lots of 'em.
It behooves authors to bear that
.physiological change in mind and
whenever they write about a G. B. S.
epigram or anything else that proves
a. little too strong for feminine sensi
bilities they will have to describe its
effect on the abashed auditor by say
ing 'She blushed like a man.' " New
York Sun.
I CAKEWALK BY MISS REID.
There may not be a word of truth
In the story, but Miss Jean Reld's
- dear friends are not letting a mere
question of fact prevent them from
telling the joke. The daughter of
the American Ambassador to Eng
land wag asked to dance the cake-
walk! That almost tragic incident
took place at a week-end party at the
country seat of a prominent man. A
little South American, the daughter
of a diplomat stationed In London,
was prevailed on to give her national
dance, and her performance was spir
ited. Finally the hostess asked Miss
Reld It she would treat them to a fig
ure or two of the American national
dance. Miss Reld protested that
there was no such thing. Thereupon
a youth got up and asserted he had
seen it danced in Atlantic City. This
was the way it began and he gave
a creditable imitation of the opening
of the prancing procession dear to ne
groes. New York Press.
HOW TO HANG YOUR OWN SKIRT
The following is a simple way to
do It and have it right: Finish the
skirt, except the lower edge, and put
it on just as it is to be worn, being
sure that the band is adjusted to its
proper position about the waist, and
pinning it there if necessary to pre
vent slipping. Stand before a mirror
and place one end of a yard stick or
any long straight stick, only it must
be fully thirty-six Inches long, on the
floor, holding It perfectly straight up
against the dress. Put a pin In your
dress or mark with chalk at upper
edge of the stick, then move the
stick an Inch or two to one side and
again mark in the same way. Con
tinue in this manner until you have
a row of pins or marks all around
the skirt. Remove skirt and lay flat
on a table. Measure with the stick
from the marks on the hip toward
the lower edge of the skirt, marking
the length of the Btlck with pins or
marks. Continue around the skirt.
Now your skirt will Just touch the
floor. If you wish it to be shorter
measure with a tape measure, one,
two or three inches above the lower
row of pins, according to the distance
you desire your skirt to be from the
floor, mark and turn up a hem, or
if you prefer a facing allow a seam
below the pins and cut oft. Always
be sure to place the stick perfectly
straight down to the floor, being care
ful that it does not slant out from
the body. Boston Post.
NEWEST
FASHIONS,
Frocks may be buttoned down the
front as well as the back.
Shirley popples are very lovely as
a trimming for black hats.
Most of the embroidery seen now
In the shops is machine-made.
A device to do away with stocking
darning is the gummed patch.
The separate waist and skirt have
almost disappeared from view.
Ottoman silk is still popular, but
has a rival In the new Tussore.
"Puffed out very full at the back"
Is the Paris decree for the hair.
Short silk gloves have embroidered
cuffs, a return to an old and graceful
fashion.
Fabrics are softer and glossier than
ever before, but are somewhat firmer
of- texture.
The new wash chamois gloves are
wrinkled half way to elbow Instead
of buttoned.
Some of the new skirts have five,
seven or nine gores, with panels set
in the side seams.
i
Linens are either very heavy, al
most like Russian crash, or they are
very thin and fine.
' Parasol, reticule and slippers of
figured silk to be added to the bath
ing suit, are the fashionable accesso
ries. Wide soft patent leather belts to
be worn loosely around the waist
with one-piece frocks, are preferred
to" all others this season.
Single letters in silver, and silver
gilt, in any fashionable style to put
on the outside of a handbag, are con
sidered quite smart.
Transparent, cloaks of all lengths
a-e designed fo'l' day wear, and fKach
tl,s acme of uselessness when they
are made without sleeves.
Envelope handbags of patent leath
er with stiff handles, gilt clasps and
gilt letters on the outside are the
fashionable handbags of the hour.
Handbags of raffia with fringed
ends are mounted on silver gilt and
have handles of raffia. They are ad
mirable with pongee and linen frocks.
New silk gloves have buttons on
the side Instead of the middle. These
come in all colors, and the long ones
are tucked. This gives the appear
ance of a niousquetalre sleeve.

can be worn with or without a gulmpe
aa the special day may require is one
that fills an important place in the
girl's outfit. This one Is simple yet
attractive, and can be made from any
easoilsble material. In the illustra
tion oneso? the simple, inexpensive
printed wash ;'ibrlcs is finished with
piped edges, but there are a great
many available ones.
The dress is made with waist and
klrt portions. The waist consists of
the front and back portions of the
yoke and the front and back lower
portions. These last are finished at
their upper edges and arranged over
the yoke. The skirt Is straight and
the two are joined by a belt, while
the closing is made invisibly at the
back.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size (ten years) is
four and three-quarter yards twenty
four, four and one-eighth yards thirty-two
or three and an eighth yards
forty-four Inches wide.
Striped Petticoats.
Petticoats of striped satin are to be
worn this winter beneath clotlf frocks
banded with a hem in another color,
a black and white stripe having a
band of pale blue, a gray and white
stripe having a band of leaf green,
and so on. The greatest attention Is
being paid to their fit, as skirts are to
fit closely about the hips again and to
flare out more than ever at the feet.
Waistbands will be tight and neat
again, and we are once more to have
the perfectly round waist.
Fopular Fongoe Suits.
The popular models' found at the
waist departments are the ecru ones
made of real Cluny or of pongee, for
two-piece suits of pongee or natural
colored linen. Such suits are in es
pecially high favor, and the variety
of models found to go with them at
tests the fact. The Cluny waist is in
higher favor than, the net one that
had a rather strenuous vogue a year
go.
Jabots of Net.
There are Jabots of net, linen oi
batiste, and they are variously
trimmed.
' Silk Tettlcoats Used.
A considerable number of silk pet
ticoats will be used. But It looks
now as If lingerie ones would almost
take their place. The lingerie ones
that ar to be worn are dainty and
frilly, with lace ruffles and flounces.
-
Girl's Sailor Jumper Suit.
The sailor jumper suit Is one of the
latest and best liked developments of
that favorite model, and here is one
made from white linen, with bands of
blue, which is smart and summer-like
In the , extreme. The long, loose
blouse is drawn on over the head
without an opening, and the big sail
or collar makes its pretty and appro
priate finish. In this case no shield
is worn, and for very warm days and
for tennis and other outdoor sports
that style is a most desirable one, but
the shield can be used whenever
liked.
The suit consists of the Jumper and
the skirt. The skirt Is straight and
can be either pleated or gathered at
its upper edge, where It can be Joined
to a fitted body lining or to a belt.
The blouse is made with front and
back portions. It Is faced at the
front and the collar Is Joined to the
neck edge. The sleeves are simple
plain ones, with cuffs finishing their
lower edges. The separate shield can
be used and adjusted under the
blouse or the body lining can be faced
to give the effect; or, again, the suit
can be worn without the shield, when
the skirt should be attached to a belt
In place of the body lining.
The quantity of material required
for the medium Bize (twelve years) la
six and a quarter yards twenty-seven,
five yards thirty-two or three and
three-quarter yards forty-four Inches

"I have great difficulty in under
standing your traction system," said
the Man from Mars.
"It is a little complex. What seems
to bother you the most?" replied the
Upright Citizen.
"Well, for instance, in whose in
terest is it conducted?"
"In the interest of the people, of
course," answered the Upright Citi
zen. "Then why are the people not
treated with greater courtesy and
supplied with greater comforts?"
"Because it is not to the interest of
those who conduct it to do so."
"But I thought you said It was con
ducted In the Interest of the people?"
"In a way It is. That Is to say, the
people, In their own Interest, Intrust
the traction business to selected mem
bers of the community, to whose In
terest It is to conduct it In the Inter
est of the people. Understand?"
"Perhaps I am a numskull," vouch
safed the Man from. Mars, "but I do
not understand yet. Now to whose
interest Is it to have good service?"
"To the interest of the people, of
course; but then you could not expect
the traction officials to give good ser
vice when it Is not to their interest,
could you?"
"I do not expect anything," ex
plained the Man from Mars. "I am
trying to understand it. As near as I
can determine there are two conflict
ing Interests. Now, In such a con
flict, which gives way?"
"The people, of course. You could
not expect Individuals to give service
which was not to their interest. Have
you ever studied the' question of vest
ed rights?"
"No; but I suppose vested rights
are those which authorize the few to
make the many uncomfortable?"
"You talk like a dangerous man,"
rejoined the Upright Citizen. From

Ioor America.
The American novelist of the newer
order Is apt to write, as .the American
young woman talks, at the top of his
voice. There is something In the at
mosphere of the United States, partly
natural, partly artificial, and the ef
fect of an Inveterate spirit of rivalry
which stimulates the organs of ex
pression to an excessive, often a
strident, pitch of energy. The itching
national desire to be thought original,
to have "snap and go," in season and
out of season, leads Inevitably to
freaklshness, irrelevance, slang and
grievous maltreatment of language.
Tho .literary ideals of Hawthorne
are evidently obsolete. Even those
of Mr. Henry James and Mr. W. D.
Howells are contemned or forgotten.
The ambition of ttia- younger school
of transatlantic novelists Is. as we are
frequently told, to produce "real live"
stories. Assuredly .that is one of tte
most laudable of ambitions, but It
miscarries sorely when it results in a
fussy effort to galvanize inert matter
to a semblance of vigor and gayety.
Not thus is the novel endowed with
organic life. London Chronicle.
Labor-Saving Device.
Joseph H. Choate, at a recent ban
quet in New York, praised Attorney
General Wlckersham.
"When this able man fights," he
said, "feathers will fly. But he won't
fight until he has a grievance. There
will be nothing spectacular, nothing
burlesque, about his battles."
Mr. Choate smiled.
"No," he said, "we shall see noth
!ng of 'Broncho Bill' in Attorney-Gen
eral Wlckersham. 'Broncho Bill,' you
you know, had only one eye.
" 'How did you lose that left optic,
Bill?' a young tenderfoot politely
asked him.
" 'Lose it?' Bill thundered. 'Did
you say "lose" it?'
" 'Why er yes,' faltered the ten
derfoot.
" 'Lose it be hanged,' said Bill
ferociously. 'I cut it out so's I
wouldn't alius be havln' to shut It In
drawln' a bead.' " Washington Star.
The Biggest Cracker.
The "kasabi" torta (we get our
word "tart" from torta) of Hlspan
Amerlca is the biggest regularly
made cracker on earth, bigger than
the special matzoths of Manhattan's
Jew side, which, however, are only
made for a short period in the year.
It Is made from the kasabi root and
lightly fired In cakes about the size of
a small parasol.
A cracker for a hat! Such indeed
is sometimes the use made by the
Latin peons of the kasabi torta when
needing a temporary sun shade (som
brero). The torta is always made
bowl shaped so it can be balanced on
the head without any particular ef
fort and providing no wind inter
feres. Rain, however, quickly soaks
and collapses this singular edible
headgear. Baker's Weekly.
Sparrow Blood as Medicine.
The manufacture of a cough mix
ture from the blood of a sparrow got
a coolie into trouble the other day.
Sunday he was found in the Sinza
district with a. couple of poles, a tin
of bird lime and ten sparrows in his
possession. The man was brought up
at the mixed court charged with hav
ing cruelly illtreated the birds, and
in the course of the case it transpired
that the coolie was catching the spar
rows In order to sell them to medi
cal dealers. The reason he wished
to keep them alive was that the medi
cine Bliops, who made a sort of cough
mliture out of their blood, would
not buy them if they were dead. The
coolie was cautioned and his gear
confiscated. Shanghai Mercury.

The Pittsburg Club Is believed to
