II the Masculine League of France
accomplishes its purpose every woman
who takes up professional work in
that country will doom herself to celi
bacy, for the members of the league
pledge themselves not to marry auy
woman who competes with man lu
any professional field. It is not stat

Curiosity Aid to Divorce.
The Jewish women in Kussia have
presented their first petition to the
Douma. in it they request legislation
to prevent husbands from sending
their wives a bill of divorce by mes
senger. Under the present law a lie
brew husband can divorce his wife by
gh-iug her a bill of divorcement. If
the wife does not accept the paper she
is not divorced. 13ut If eho unwitting
ly receives the document from the
messenger sho forthwith ceases to be
a wife. The petition sets forili that
many Jewish wives have been cast
off by receiving bills of divorce In
sealed envelopes from messengers
conniving with the husbands. A mem
ber of the Douma said ho had discov
ered by Investigation that the averago
wife was eo curious that sho nad been
unable to reject an envelope which she
bad every reason to suspect held a
bill of divorce, and because of that
fact he favored a revision of the law.

In the Sahara.
A French explorer who has just re
turned from Africa has addressed a
letter to two leading fcmlivistes ad
vising them to leave at once for the
Sahara, or rather that portion of It
which inhabited by the Touaregs. The
Touaregs are crafty, cruel and treach
erous, but among them feminism
reigns. They haVe camels of thefir
own which their husbands are not al
lowed to mount, and their household
duties are nil. Each ono has a male
attendant who saddles her camels and
runs errands for ber, but who must be
careful to remain strictly platonic In
his attitude. Should he forget himself
so far as to make l.wo to his mistress,
ber husband flies Into a rage. Touar
eg husbands evidently consider that
they have some nights. Hie Touareg
woman does not follow her husband
unless she feels inclined to, and io not
expected to serve him. The wemen
learn to read while the men do not,
and for this reason they take the
lead in all public affairs. New York

Instruction In Finance.
Because the very contrary condi
tion exists in the human family, the
married woman who endeavors to sup
ply her own economic wants Is met
with difficulty on every side. This
. state of affairs, declares Montgomery
Holllns in Success Magazine, Is due
somewhat to customs which have grad
ually grown to be almost rules, but
largoly to the universal lack cf ap
preciation of the 6erlousnene or this
problem. Women ought to know
about investments, especially those
who expect to be left as guardians of
children's funds, to say nothing of the
care of thoir own inheritances. Why
It is that certain firmly underlying
principles can not be understood by,
or taught to, womankind is vexing. Na
turally she Is, probably, more of a
gambler than man, and prone to take
risks which would stagger a man with
no greater experience.

Being Careful.
Tho warning to be "careful" is one
of the most commonplace sentences
In all our vocabulary of universal ad
vice. The need for accuracy Is Insist
ed upon with equal emphasis In ad
dresses to school girls and stenogra
phers, detectives and governesses,
mothers and wives. We are told to
"be careful" so often that we are heart
ily weary of the phrase and ready to
cry out In exasperation that there are
many other virtues Quite as Important
and far loss trite. Aud there aren't
A few days ago in this city a young
woman died, presumably of a very
real "broken heart." She bad been
accused of accidentally causing the
death of a patient of whom she, as a
trained nurse, was In charge. And
the weight of the burden thus cast
upon her literally wore out her
strength aud sapped bar life. She had
been, whether rightly or not, accused,
not of crime but of "carelessness,"
not of wrongdoing, but of fatal inat
tention to detail.
That U an extreme instance, of
course; a tragedy that startles us by
Its sheer horror. And yet there are
women every day who are. falling In
business because they do not pay at
tention to delalls. There are girls
missing. big opportunities because they
refuse to notice the "little things"
that are opportunity's guide-posts.
There are wives whose married life Is
beginning to spell misery because
they are not "careful," whether of
money or time or the breakfast menu.
And there are mothers who are con
demning not only themselves but
their children to hopeless inefficiency
through this same foolish, feminine
failure to look after details.
For if there is one lesson that
every woman muBt loarn it Is this
leson of simple carefulness. Women,
curiously enough, do not find it easy
to bo careful. Their boastM Intui
tion, their ability to jump at a conclu
sion, makes them impatient of weary
stops and studied course of thought
and action. They are prone to seek
tho easiest way, the quickest mental
process. It is far less difficult for the
business woman to be Industrious,
loyal, enthusiastic, really conscien
tious, than for her to be minutely
careful of the little things that makes
so much difference In business life.
And so it is this principle, perhaps,
that is the most important thing of
all for a woman to fix In her mind and
in her life. "I didn't think" cannot
be the Justification of a woman's mis
takes any more than of a man's
wrongdoing. It is the excuse of a
child.
Fashion Notes.
Black satin rovers and cuffs are to
remain In stylo.
Ermine stoles and muffs for even
ing are soft and flat.
The all-black toilette is the reign
ing favorite in Paris.
Chiffon Is lavishly used for after
noon and evening blouses.
The newest muffs are round with
stiff fluted sides of satin.
Mules for wear in tho bed room
have tho toes made of crochet.
Mouse gray chiffon cloth promises
to be popular for evening wear.
The latest demand of fashion is that
tho muff shall match the bat.
Never was the simple little after
noon gown in higher favor than now.
The muddy-toned colors of last sea
eon are little seen in present styles.
Hatpins with ball-fihaped tops of
gunmetal are to be had in several
sizes.
Mother-of-pearl and jet form a com
bination seen in some of the newest
buckles and pins..
Jade hatpins, carved in a scarab de
sign, are among the handsomest hnt
fastenings seen in the shops.
The filet of black velvet about half
an inch wide and finished with a tiny
bow either In front or to one side is
seen a great deal.
Satin and heavy ottoman silk but
tons w.ill be in good style, and tweed
and worsted cloth bone buttons will
be considered correct.
Marquisette, which Is used for
dressy blouses, launders well and has
a decided air. It Is gaining in popu
larity as the season draws to Its
height.
For between seasons there are some
beautiful black silk hats made upon
frames. Here satin and moire, otto
man and bengallno are equally cos
splcuous. Irish crochet is seen on all the
cloth and' silk gowns, and in sets of
Irish crochet, large as well as small,
ornament some of the waists of cot
ton crepe.
Chenille fringe is used at present
as a suitable trimming on the shoul
der scarf. Where chenille Is em
ployed in this way it Is also inter
woven In the scarf .ends, either In em
broidered dots or small squares.

New York City. The shirt walat
that Is made with h yoke is one ot the
smartest Juat now, and this one is ex
ceptionally pretty. The yoke Is cut
to form tabs that give a novel effect,
and the sleeves with their deep cuffs
are new and comfortable and smart.
Ib this instance the material is plaid
silk piped with a plain color and
trimmed with little silk buttons, but
the waist Is equally well adapted, to
wool, silk and washable fabrics. If
the full sleeves are not liked plain
ones can be substituted as show in the
back view. Moire silk and cashmere
promise to be favorites for separate
waists, and either would be attractive
made after this model. Also the
waist Is well suited to the entire
gown. The closing can be made eith
er at the front or the back as liked.
When made at the back it Is designed
to be invisible, when made at the
front It can be effected either bj
means ot buttons and buttonholes
worked through the box pleat, or by
means of buttonholes worked In a fly.
The waist consists of front and
back portions. When made with
closing at the back, the backs are
made separately, but when the front
closing Is preferred tho back Is seam
less. The tucks in the fronts are
stitched for a portion of their length
only, but the full length box pleat
gives long lines at both front and
Plaids Conspicuous.
Plaids are again conspicuous.
Great variety is offered at the ribbon
counter. Dresden colorings having

lover of pinks and blues.
Evening Costumes.

fashtoned brocades will help those
who are desirous of using this domin
ant Parisian note In evening cs-tumes.
back. The full sleeves are finished
with deep cuffs. The plain sleeves
are cut in one piece each.
Straight rieated Skirt.
Short or apron draperies are very
fashionable Just now and this one,
with points at the sides, Is extremely
becoming. It is arranged over a
pleated skirt, and this skirt Is at
tached to a smoothly lifted yoke. It
can be made either with a slightly
raised or the natural waist line. In
this case the skirt Is made of cash
mere with bands of satin, but it will
be found available for almost every
seasonable material. Fine wcols are
exceedingly light In weight, and
everything that can be pleated suc
cessfully Is appropriate. Made In
floor length and of silk voile with
bands of satin It would become very
much more elaborate In effect. M.ida
from French serge and finished with
stitched hems only it would become a
simple, practical skirt adapted to
evory-day wear.
The skirt consists ot the founda
tion, the pleated portion and the drap-
ery. The foundation is gored and
snugly fitted. The pleated portion is
straight aud laid in backward-turning
pleats, and the drapery Is ar
ranged over it. There are also two)
box pleats at the back and the closing
Is made Invisibly between the two.
When the natural waist line is de
sired the foundation and the drapery
are cut off on Indicated lines and the
skirt Is joined to a belt.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is six and a quar-j
ter yards twenty-fouror twenty-seven
four and three-quarter yards forty-i
four or fifty-two inches wide with ond
yard twenty-soven Inches wide for thd

among the smart models, but it is
now fitted In at the waist line, where

Simple Cure for a Burn.
Burns in the kitchen are so fre
quent that it is fortunate that the
kitchen, or rather, the bin in the cel
lar, provides a quick aud easily ap
plied cure for such injuries.
When one has been seared by fire
Immediately cut a white potato in two,
scrape out the Inside, and make it
very fine. Bind this scraping on the
burn and the pain will quickly be mit
igated. Should the burn be very deep it
may be necessary to make a second
application. This Is nn old fashioned
remedy, but ono that has proved suc
cessful in many severe burns. New

Washing Summer Dresses.
Keep the delicate colors from fad
ing thus: Dissolve a tablespoon of
powdered alum to each gallon of warm
water needed for the Immersion of
the garment. Rinse it thoroughly in
this alum water, wring it slightly, and
then put It into suds made of warm
water and white soap. Wash careful
ly, but use no more soap than Is nec
essary. Rinse well In two waters, then
put the garment through a little very
thin boiled starch. Wring, shake out,
turn inside out, and hang In the open
air, but not in the sun, to dry. Sprink
le as evenly as possible, and roll It
up not more than half an hour be
fore It Is Ironed. Sometimes it is nec
essary to use alum lw the final rins
ing water. Home Notes.
The Wise Buyer.
The wise buyer does not get things
Just because her neighbor has them.
She does not get a thing because it
it cheap, nor does she think that cost
means beauty.
She does not buy things Just be
cause they are in the height of style.
She purchases neither more than
she needs nor less. Both methods are
spoilers; the former of goods, the lat
ter of one's temper.
Nor does she get Into the habit of
buying hastily with thought of the
exchange desk. This is unfair to the
shopkeeper and to herself.
She does not buy mere than she
can see her way clear to pay for. To
make purchases with no money In
sight may not land you in jail, but It
will ruin your credit and make you a
professional dodger of duns. New
York Times.
Old Tablecloths.
"Old tablecloths," said an economical
housewife, may be put to many uses
in a large family. If the borders are
handsome I hem the longest pieces for
bureau covers. Smaller pieces I use
as tray clothes or doilies for the baby's
plate. The middle of the cloth I cut In
to anpklns, keeping out the poorest
portions for dish cloths and holders
or for polishing glass."
A red tablecloth that Is too faded
to be used on the table makes a good
crum cloth. Starch stiff, iron perfect
ly smooth; taking care to pull the
edges straight and even. Pin it to the
carpet Instead of tacking It, as then
it will cot be so much trouble to take
up. It will keep clean a long time, and
even if you can afford a handsome
cloth it is convenient to use this
when the other is up to be cleaned.
