' "I wish I had been born a man; It (s the one regret ot my life," declared Mrs. Lillian Duncanson, president ot the Political Equality League, before the members of the literary round ta ble of the Chicago Culture Club re' ently. I am tired of being a wo man, of having to beg for better con ditions, of being told to put on pretty gown and smile In order to Influence some alderman to see things In the light he should see them as wo tnen see them." Chicago Tribune. A JUBILEE. Some years ago, before Queen Vic toria's death and about the time that the Queen's jubilee was to be cele brated, the following conversation between two old Scotchwomen was overheard one day on a street corner In London: "Can ye tell me, wumman, what Is It they call a Jubilee?" "Well, It's this," said her neighbor. "When folk has been married twenty five years, that's a Bllver wuddin'; and when they have been married fifty years that's a golden wuddin'. But it the mon's dead, then It's a Jubilee." Harper's Weekly. WOMEN DOCTORS GAIN POINT. ' Professional women have gained another notable point in England. For the first time in its history the Joint board of the Royal Colleges of thysicians and Surgeons Is admitting wemen to its examinations for Its tilghest diplomas. For years women factors have been urging their case and asking to be made eligible for these diplomas, and the pressure be- 3 i o o ft v o o a o i Fish RouiUon.

BLUE AS FOUNDATION COLOR, We shall wear foulard this season, that is quite certain, and miles ot ribbon but I will not write much ot coming materials or styles till later. As I said, I again advise tak Ing a certain color as a basis for your . scheme and working up from that. ' Gray is always good; black and white, I separate and as a combination, is quite delightful, and both of these suggestions for a basis allow of the : additions of various notes ot color In a charming way. But you see the advantage? Your princesse founda tion slips, your blouse slips, your pet tlcoats, parasols, gloves, stockings, feather boas, scarfs, the straw of your hats, the groundwork of your foulards, patterned nlnons, brocades and a hundred and one other items can be of one or the other, and all will be well when you come to fing the changes and produce clever new combinations from a limited supply. 1 have known a woman who looked .very well a la magpie go through a season most triumphantly with a very email wardrobe, wearing on one occa sion a black frock with almost all the etceteras white, or a white with black details, or one black note, and then for a change having some bril liant color to lighten a white or a sable ensemble. For instance, it .would take the shape of one really good ostrich feather or hat trimming t artificial flowers. (That was the year of the big black Tegal hat, and . one shape had a trimming of leafless azalea - mollis in salmon pink and pinkish maize, another ot crimson and purple stocks, a third of white Madonna lilies.) I went through a season myself once on pale lime green silken foun ' cations, same blouses and sashes, petticoats, parasol, ribbons, and so ., forth, and found it work out. It looks equally attractive with A black, white or gray, and with many such colors brown also comes most: attractlvely into the scheme, while navy blue is extremely smart with details of the right shade. The Blow. ly returning coral pink, used with discretion, is smart, but a hue soon wearied of. Various shades ot blue (not many), if chosen so they will harmonize with each other, may be recommended, and still more different tones ot purple and heliotrope, says The Queen. A scheme ot two colors for In stance, many shades of a particular gray and the same of purple com bine delightfully, so does brawn or mole color with the same, and, again, mushroom or "mud" shades with damask or gloxinia led or peridot green. It is sometimes a happy thought to take a flower scheme say, the coloring of three sorts of sweet peas, or gladioli, or violas. SOFT VOICES LOST IN CITY'S DIN. "If Englishwomen had the same environment as American women their voices would not be so gentle and low as Henry James describes tliera, for I don't believe Englishwo men would like to have their words drowned any more than we like it." indignantly said the wife of a suc cessful business man in town. "Most women here have to shout in order to mnl:e themselves heard above the clanging of car gongs and other noises of the streets. The ring ing ot the telephone bell Is another annoyance. If your husband is a broker, as mine is, you will have to shout even in summer when you're in camp, for there's always a tele phone there and a private railroad running by." All her hearnrs who had to converse In street cars agreed heartily with her that if they bad to use what Mr. James calls the voica of a lady they might as well keep their mouths shut altogether. New York Press. NEWEST FASHIONS. A mourning umbrella is always fin ished with a tape edge. For street suits, black and white Is In great demand, stripes or check9 being successfully used also. One of the new turbans has a foundation of silver; Its trimming a full ostrich plume in taupe color. Outdoor gowns are gradually com ing back to the normal waistline, the short waist being now confined to evening wear. Voile, varied with silk stripes, dots and blocks, and of very open mesh, Is a safe and becoming decision for afternoon gowns. There has come about a popular fashion ot pinning a rose or any large flower well down in the centre of an evening bodice. Colored net or tulle sleeves have a lining ot cream chiffon or net. This gives just a charming softness through the outer mesh. Smart traveling coats are made of tussore silk, with well-cut collar and cuffs of black moire or silk poplin, piped with green or mulberry colored silk. Natural flowers are being used for the corsage more than for several seasons, and the newest coats have a button-hole in which the stems are fixed. The ribbed shantung is in line with the Ottoman and Bengaline silks, which are very popular, and Is having an extensive vogue, though this is its first season. Pretty frocks for the girls are made ot lawn, hand-embroidered In delicate flower designs in light tints and worn with sashes the color ot the needlework. The separate coat has reached the height of its popularity, and is being fashioned in many unusual materials. Taffeta and supple satin are alike popular. For the useful tailor-made the girls are having either the white linen waists, embroidered lightly in the color ot the material, or of white madras, striped with the color. Chamois gloves in cream color and pale yellow are extremely smart with tailored suits of wool or mohair, but when the weather is very warm noth ing but the silk glove is bearable. Umbrellas to be carried with mourning toilets display neat designs in their mountings. For the handles are of ebony, daintily carved, the rods black and the coverings of dull taf feta. There are many umbrella handles to chooBe from the ' knob, the straight, the round crook and the square crook. For half mourning, there is a model mounted with gun metal etched with silver. New York City. Morning Jackets mat are made with peplums are fav orites, for they mean snugness and becoming flare as well as comfort This one includes a square yoke, pep. lum and trimming of embroidery, but while such treatment means a charm ing effect with very little labor it is not necessary, for the entire Jacket could be made of plain material and trimmed or finished in any way to Buit the fancy. It Is eminently sim pie and especially well adapted to washable materials, although it can be utilized for the challis, albatross and cashmere that many women like at all seasons of the year. The Jacket is made with the yoke, fronts and back. It can be either tucked or gathered at the upper edge and It is finished with a belt at the waist line and with a peplum below, and this peplum formB a pretty and becoming point at the back. The sleeves are made in one piece each gathered into bands. When high neck Is desired a standing collar or trim ming can finish the neck edge. The quantity of material required for the medium size Is two and a quarter yards twenty-two or twenty seven, two and one-eighth yards thirty-two or one and a quarter yards forty-four Inches wide, with five yards of embroidery eight and a half Inches wide, two and a quarter yards of beading to make as Illustrated; three and three-quarter yards twenty-four or twenty-seven, two and three-quarter yards thirty-two or one and seven eighth yards forty-four inches wide if material Is used throughout.

Dress tunic with guimpe. Closing in back, to be made with pointed or straight outline at the lower edge. . Gold Trimmed Laces. For dressy costumes, gold-trimmed laces, all-overs and nets are again in large demand and promise to be as much in vogue as ever in garniture of the more expensive kinds. Hip Yoke. A few skirts with flounced effects have been seen, but they have almost Invariably seemed more like the dropped line ot the hip yoke than of t flounce. Eccentric Jabots. The Jabots of the hour are eccen tric. Most of them are attached to band colors ot considerable depth, made of a combination of whatever materials are used for the waist anc surmounted by narrow frills of a tin sel cord. Brooch or Pin. The flat collar, which la fast gain ing popular favor, demands a brooch or pin to finish It off where it meets in front. For this purpose the cam eos ot bygone days have returned, Every grandmother who owns one must bring it out from Its hiding place for her granddaughter, and the older and quainter it is the more highly will It be valued. Corset Covers. The well fitting coreet cover con tributes largely to the success of the blouse or the gown. Here are two, both of which are desirable. The tucked one will appeal to the women who like perfect smoothness above the waist line, while the gathered one Is desirable for those of more slender figure.

Sailor suit for misses and email women, consisting of blouse and seven gored plaited skirt that can he made with or without yoke. Silk Should Match. Where silk hose are rubbed into holes In the back by low shoes or pumps, It la usually useless to darn them in the ordinary way. Place a piece of silk of the same color under neath and darn the stockings to It. Lace Flowers. Very pretty are the flowers of stif fened lace or great roses ot gold or sliver gauze, which are often the only trimming of a hat. BEEF AND Jack Spratt conld eat no fat.

It cannot be said that the majority of people lack the taste to esteem the highest works of art The majority always have understood, and etill un derstand, what we also recognize, as being the very best art: the epic" of Genesis, the Gospel parables, folk legends, fairy-tales, and folk-song are understood by all. How 'can it be that the majority has suddenly lost Its capacity to understand what is high in our art? Tolstoi. Baby Wasted to a Skeleton. "My little son, when about a year and a half otd, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physi cian treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew bo bad that I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. "My aunt advised me to try Cutl cura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cutlcura Soap and a box of the Oint ment and followed directions. At the end ot two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, I can sincerely say that only for Cutlcura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cutlcura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. "I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different fam ilies and it Is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Cutlcura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Shel don, R. F.
