    WOMAN'S WORLD.
YOUNG NEW YORK WOMEN WHO COL
LECT FOR MERCHANT TAILORS.
Women and the Actura' Fair —A Women's
Co-operative Scheme Working Girls
Meet—A Traveling Frenchwoman—An
International Victory.
There are now in New York abont
half a dozen young women who are em
ployed as collectors by tailors. Natural
ly it is not a business that every young
lady would care to go into, but the
wages are attractive. There is one
young woman employed by a Fifth av
enue tailor whose average is fifty dol
lars a week and she does not work over
six hours a day. "It isn't nearly so bad
as it seems," said she. "The first time I
went into an office 1 thought 1 should
faint. It was only with the greatest ef
fort that I could make myself go there
at all. But 1 didn't have to do any urg
ing at all. The man paid me almost with
out Baying a word. It didn't take me
five ininntes and my commission was
ten dollars. Tliat encouraged me and
no w I get along splendidly. But it takes
lots of assurance at times. Still 1 have
never been treated discourteously but
once. The worst trouble is that the men
want to invite you to dinner, to the
theater and all that sort of thing."
When a pretty young woman, charm
ingly dressed, appears at an office and
says that Bhe wants to see Mr. Putoff,
the office boy never dreams of inquiring
what her business may be. He simply
goes to the yonng man and says that a
lady wishes to see him, and he adds,
with the office boy'B privilege, that she
is young and pretty. Mr. Putoff never
dreams of demanding to know her busi
ness before he goes out. He appears
with a smile as broad as a French play
and greets her with overpowering po
liteness. And when she looks at him
shyly and timidly, and murmurs with a
little catch in her voice, "Oh, Mr. Put
off, you'll pardon me," he feels that
there is nothing on earth he would not
do to help the beautiful girl who is in
distress.
He does not notice the slip of white
paper in her hand. And then when she
tells him that she has called to collect
the little bill which he owes Cuttem &
Tailor it dazes him. He pays the bill
before he can recover from his amaze
ment. And even if lie did recover his
wits in time, he would never dare put
her off and run the cross fire of the other
fellows in the office.—New York World.
Women and the Actors' Fair.
The people of the stage are clannish,
and have for so long with proud reserve
protected and cared for their own,
though at the same time generously aid
ing every other form of benevolent
work, that little interest was felt out
side the profession in the Actors' fund
or its object. In the face of these some
what undesirable conditions the women
organized their committees about the
middle of February and started out on
their "your-inoney-or-your-life" erusade
to the "rich man, poor man, doctor, law
yer, merchant, priest."
About two hundred women are in
cluded in the fifty committees into
which tho force is divided. These have
been actively employed, as most men of
means will testify, in soliciting salable
articles of all kinds and money in any
amount. "1 don't think anybody got
away," one gentle lady said who came
In to report half a dozen pianos as the
result of her work, and it is safe to pre
mise that the statement is true of all
committees.
Thiß fair is not of the pincushion and
placque type, for horses, bicycles, car
riages, billiard tables, curios, pianos,
sewing machines, rare laces, including
one dutchesse lace flounce valued at
forty dollars a yard, and a veil of old
Brussels lace finer than any other speci
men in this country, are among its pos
sessions. There will be a grocery store,
a drug store, a furniture store and a
lamp store, so generous have been the
contributions in those various commodi
ties. Enough soap has been donated to
keep the whole dramatic profession clean
for a year, and perfume enough to float
an ocean steamer.
There has been comparatively little
friction in this band of women workers,
and all matters have been frequently
explained and harmoniously adjusted at
the regular committee meetings, where
each woman aired her grievance.—New
Vork Sun.
A Wouieu's Co-operative Scheme.
! The latest important project of the
World's fair board of lady managers is
the building of a mammoth hotel for the
accommodation of the great numbers of
Belf supporting women who will visit
the exposition.
The Bcheme of the hotel originated in
the brain of a woman, Mrs. M. B. Carse,
and tho site for the structure has been
presented by Mr. George M. Pullman.
The building will be two stories high and
will cover an entire city square, being
built around a central court in Spanish
fashion, ft will be built by an incor
porated stock company, governed by the
board of lady managers of tho fair, and
will be capable of accommodating 5,000
persons. A room, bed, light, etc., can
be obtained for thirty cents a day, and
a light breakfast will be supplied at
small expense.
The shares will be sold at five dollars
each, and each certificate of stock will
entitle the person presenting it to its
face value in the house. If at any time
rooms be vacant and application be
made for them by other than stockhold
ers, they will be allotted to working
women at the same rate; but it is an
ticipated that the stock will all be taken,
so that only shareholders and persons
designated by them will be received.—
Chicago Letter.
Working Girls Meet.
Even before the New York Associa
tion of Working Girls' societies had
taken possession of the Cooper Union
hall last evening a masculine eye would
jiave seen that it was going to be a girls'
night. The ugly yellow pillars had
been covered with varicolored crape
cloth, star spangled materials were
draped overhead and flags and banners
had been artistically used to hide the
nakedness of the walls. Besides all
these were the flowers. Very few men
got into the meeting.
Miss Grace H. Dodge, president of the
association, presided, and on the plat
form beside her were Mrs. Alexander,
Mrs. Richard Irvin, Miss Clara S. Potter,
Mrs. Charles A. Russell, Mrs. Henry
Ollesheimer, Miss Martha Draper, Mrs.
Gasper Griswold, Miss Virginia Potter
and many others. Nearly a score of
societies were represented and the mem
bers of each could be told by the color
of the bowknots of ribbon they wore.
The girls sang original music composed
by one of their own number, listened to
reports of the progress of their associa
tion and of the individual societies and
made speeches.
Miss Dodge told in detail of the pleas
ant things about the association that
had come to her notice within the past
year and referred particularly to the
Choral union, which had been born
within a few months. Afterward this
body, which is made up of 250 members
of the association, sang "O Beautiful
Violet" in away to justify all of Miss
Dodge's praise.—New York Letter.
A Traveling: Frenchwoman.
Mile. Elise St. Omer, the celebrated
Frenchwoman traveler, is going to start
soon for her second trip around the
world. Mile. St. Omer, who has been
made a member of the French Geo
graphical society, will collect informa
tion concerning the lives and customs of
the women and childreu of primitive
tribes and nations, which she will lay
before the society on her return. She
expects to be absent three years. In her
former travels Mile. St. Omer has given
various proofs of her indomitable cour
age and force of will, and although
now sixty is as energetic and enthusi
astic as ever.
She travels without any luggage, car
rying not even a handbag. All she re
quires is stowed away in her capacious
pockets. Thus equipped, this energetic
Frenchwoman has traveled through all
parts of Europe, Asia and America; has
visited the Mormons, Chinese, Japanese
and Cingaleso; has explored the western
states, ridden side by side with Bedonins
and climbed the Himalayas. At present
Mile. St. Diner's favorite dream is a
journey to the interior of Africa. She
has already investigated Egypt. Her
countrymen say that she has completed
her "Odyssey" and will now begin her
"Illiad."—Paris Letter.
An International Victory.
If the dispatches are correct, the wom
en have won what may be termed an
international victory. They are to be
admitted to the University of St. An
drews, the oldest educational institution
of the character in Scotland, and they
are to be allowed to become doctors of
philosophy at our own Yale. At this
pace there will soon be no college of im
portance on either side of the water to
which both sexes have not free access.
With the victories of the young women
graduates in England, one hears little
now about their ability to stand the
courses of study.
But as a matter of fact it is too early
yet for much data upon the physical ef
fects of competition with the young
men, a competition all the more severe
from the previous assertions that young
women were not equal to their brothers
in mental capabilities and strength. It
is a work of vindication with ambitious
young women, and so is likely to become
overwork.—Boston Journal.
Renovating the Sewing Room.
In the Bpring renovation the sewing
room is usually one of the ramparts first
scaled. "After the attic and the cellar,"
saysacountry housekeeper, "lattack the
sewing room." As many city houses do
not possess an attic and the cellar must
wait the dying out of the furnace fire,
the sewing room comes first on the town
housecleaner's list. The packages of
patterns, pieces of dresses and odds and
ends of this apartment, which is apt to
be an omnium gatherum during the
winter, need all to be overhauled and
sorted. It is well to remember that
bundles of wool pieces need moth pre
ventives as much as the dress which
they represent. This fact is often over
looked until the voracious worm is fully
established, and a roll of material re
lied on to furnish new sleeves for next
winter discloses a perforated length use
less with its moth embroidery.—New
York Times.
Popular Shades.
There has been nothing really popular
in a decided color for some timo; neu
tral tints have held sway with great
persistency through several seasons. It
is always unwise to prophesy about col
ors without knowing, so small a thing
being sufficient to make or mar the pop
ularity of a shade; but all who concern
themselves with such questions assure
one that greens in endless variety will
be affected and that yellows will be
much used, and in evidence of this one
has only to scan the bonnet shops, where
golden crocuses are to be seen in profu
sion just now.
Of course all manner of fancy shades
with curious names are promised, among
which "gazon,"a vivid grecu; "wrought
iron," a luminous gray, and "Chili," a
startling yellow, may be mentioned.—
Ladies' Pictorial.
A Good Lap Year Suggestion.
There is a young lady in Clinton who
deserves considerable credit for the man
ner in which she has boomed herself.
She is good looking and takes a fine pho
tograph.
As times wero dull and the spirit of
mischief was abroad, she pat down and
wrote a letter to a big Chicago patent
medicine firm, telling of the wonderful
strength and restoration to health she
had received from taking three packages
of their medicine.
The firm at once wrote to her for her
photograph, which she sent, and in three
\veeks after her picture appeared in the
western papers she had two albums full
of photographs from admirers and
twenty-seven offers of marriage.—Glou-
cester (Mass.) Times.
Two Girls Chased l>y a Maine Ilear.
The spectacle of two young women
being chased by a bear in the streets of
a city is rather unusual, but such a thing
occurred in Gardiner, Me., the other
day. Had the girls stood still when
Mr. Marshall's pet bear dropped over
the garden wall they wonld have been
all right, but they ran and screamed,
and the bear followed in high glee. One
of the girls fell, and the bear after pok
ing his "horrid nose" into her face re
sumed his pursuit of the other until she
sought refuge in a house. Then he
seemed to think the fun spoiled and am
bled home. Now the women want the
poor bear killed.
Statues for Noble Women.
Connecticut women are raising funds
to contribute a bust of Harriet Beccher
Stowe for the Columbian exposition in
the Connecticut department.
Our beloved Lucy Stone is remem
bered in a like manner by Massachusetts
women. Much interest is manifested in
obtaining money to have the bnst or
dered at once. Every believer in wom
an's right to the ballot should contrib
ute at least a mite for this deserved
tribute to a -noble woman.—Woman's
Voice.
Sealskin Preferred.
Mr. Bingo—You want to be careful
about packing away your winter clothes,
my dear. The moths are likely to get
into them.
Mrs. Bingo—You needn't be alarmed
about the moths. They are not going
to bother witli plush when they can get
genuine sealskin at the woman's who
lives next door.—Cloak Review.
Fighting nlood In Her Vein..
Mrs. Annie W. Hubbard, of Chicago,
has accepted an honorary life member
ship of the Society of the Daughters of
1812. Mrs. Hubbard is a granddaughter
of Captain Elijah Ward, a Continental
soldier. Her father served in the war of
1812. Mrs. Hubbard had sons in tho
civil war in eacli of the opposing forces.

An Important Fashion Note.
Folks who follow fashion's foibles in
almost everything have just learned
that a blanket of blue or white flannel is
the proper garment for a pet dog whilo
at breakfast. They also assert that a
dog which wears a collar before noon
exhibits ill breeding and should be ban
ished from the circles of tho canine Four
Hundred.—Yankee Blade.
Ladle, a. Colored Minstrel..
Twenty well known ladies of Boston,
who will keep their identities safely
guarded, are to black their faces and 1 '
powdor their liair, after the most ap- 1
proved fashion of the Primrose and
West order, and appear as negro min- 1
strels in an entertainment at Tremont 1
temple for sweet charity's sake.—Bos- j '
ton Letter.
The Chinese Empress Sets a Fashion.
China is becoming a buyer of dia- ' i
monds, for very recently the empress I
has broken through the old custom
which prohibited women from wearing 1 i
diamonds in her country. She conld not
resist the beauty of a superb diamond <
necklet presented to her. She wore it i
at court and set the fashion.—London
Letter.
Had Lived Many Years.
A Shamokin (Pa.) special of April 13
says: "Mrs. Catherine Golden was buried
at the age of 110 years this morning.
Sixty years ago, on leaving Ireland, she
brought her funeral shroud along. Her
husband served under Napoleon I, and
she well remembered the time the em
peror sent out his last ill fated expedi
tion."
True of tho Infant.
A baby can be a charming and model
infant when no one is about, but when
visitors are present it can exhibit more
bad temper than both of its paronts put
together.—Baby.
The Yard Cleaning: Season.
This iB the time of year when a woman
can go into the back yard with a rake, a
broom and a match and drive the neigh
bors all away from home.—Columbus
Post.
The silk foundation skirts which were
so universally worn last summer cannot,
like the dresses themselves, be cut over
on the new lines and used as lining, as
they are as a rule too scant. They rnuko,
however, capital underskirts.
The last decade has seen the members
of the gentler sex exalted to many posts
of responsibility in the industrial world,
and now Chicago has ushered a woman
into a new province of work—as bridge
tender.
Mme. Patti, replying to a Chicago in
terviewer, declared she hail no imme
diate intention of retiring from public
life, for one reason because she thought
she was only just beginning to sing well.
The empress of Austria lately ordered
that 50,000 rose trees should be planted
around the statue of Heine, to be erect
ed on lier property at Corfu, on a rock j
over 2,000 feet above the level of the sea.
A gift of $5,000 lias been made to tho
Jewish orphan asylum of western Now
York, the income of which, it is re
ported, is to be used to furnish marriage
dowers for the girl inmates.
A woman's southern council is to be
held in some of the southern cities in tho
fall of 1892 for tho discussion of religion,
philanthropy, temperance, education, lit
erature and politics.
Three of the four Old South prizes,
given to the graduates of the Boston
high schools for the best essays on his- \
torical subjects, were this year awarded
to girls.

A WOMAN DEPUTY SHERI "
She Curried flnndcufTs and a Great Rig
Revolver, but Used Neither.
The novel spectacle of a prisoner being
taken from the Central police station in
the custody of a female officer was seen
the other morning when Benjamin Hilt,
of Janesville, started for Belvidere, Ills.,
in charge of Mrs. A. T. Ames, under
sheriff of Boone county.
Hilt was arrested at a boarding house
on a charge of stealing several hundred
dollars' worth of jewelry from Mrs.
Ajnes, the woman who took him to Bel
videre. A telegram was sent to Sheriff
Ames notifying him and he answered
that an officer would bo sent for the
prisoner.
The officer was a woman, thirty-five
or forty years of age, tall and of slender
build. A pair of piercing black eyes
looked out from under dark eyebrows,
and the firm, reliant step showed she
was a woman of determination. She
wore a small black bonnet, a plush cloak
and a black and gray traveling dress.
In her right hand she carried a russet
colored grip. She went to the Central
police station and to Inspector Riemer's
office. He recognized her at once, for
she had visited the city twice in search
of her man.
Hilt was brought to the inspector's
room and his face colored and he hung
his head when he saw the woman ho
is said to have robbed standing before
him. Mrs. Ames* eyes brightened when
she saw the prisoner, for whom she had
been searching for two months.
"Well, well, Ben, I've caught you at
last," she said. "You ought to be
ashamed of yourself for robbing the
woman who befriended you. But I'll
make a man of you when I get yon back
to Belvidere."
Hilt learned that Mrs. Ames had no
requisition papers, but agreed to go
without. Ho was then led back to his
cell.
Then Mrs. Ames surprised the detect
ives who were in the office by opening
her grip and taking out a heavy pair of
shackles and a pair of handcuffs. "Yon
see I am prepared for the return trip,"
she said with a smile as she handed the
"irons" to an inspector and remarked
that she would like to leave them there
until morning.
It was the first case on record in the
history of the Milwaukee police depart
ment whero a female officer had called
to claim a prisoner, and it naturally sur
prised the officers, especially when Mrs.
Ames announced that she, single handed
and alone, would take the prisoner back
to Belvidere, a distance of over 100
miles, and by a route that necessitated
two changes of cars.
A littlo before train time she arrived
at the Chicago and Northwestern depot
with Hilt. He is a large man, with a
meek, unintelligent face, and he is evi
dently very much afraid of the fair offi
cer of the law. At the depot Mrs. Ames
marched her prisoner up to the cigar
stand, where she purchased a half dozen
fine Havanas for him. Hilt was not
shackled, as ho had given his word of
honor that ho would not try to escape,
and Mrs. Ames said that she believed
him. She took him into the smoking
car and occupied a seat beside him there.
She took the precaution to havo him
take his place near the window, while
she sat in the aisle seat.
A city detective and a reporter ac
companied Mrs. Ames the first few miles
of her journey. During this time the
prisoner never made a move. He was
completely cowed, and he evidently be
lieved that the nndersheriff might
make his position an uncomfortable one
if he offered any resistance. That dress
pocket which is generally used by ladies
for the accommodation of a pocket
handkerchief and of spools of thread,
on this occasion contained a revolver—
not one of those little Derringers, but a
massive Colt—ready for instant service,
should Hilt's action make such a move
necessary. Just before the reporter left
the train he asked if she expected to
reach her destination with the prisoner
in her custody. She answered in the af
firmative, and in a manner that left no
doubt she meant what she said.—Mil
waukee Sentinel.
Composes on the Typewriter.
Mrs. Katharine S. Macquoid haa for
the last two years composed her novels
"right off" on a typewriter. She finds
this method more agreeable than the
pen and certainly more healthful. All
tho preliminaries of the scheme of her
Btory and the characters being settled—
and this is very carefully done—she pro
duces "copy" rapidly. This "copy" is
given severe revision, though as a rule
many corrections have not to be made,
everything having been well thought
| out. The work as first written has the
directness and the literary Btyle for
which this author is noted. Mrs. Mac
quoid gives three or four hours to her
writing before luncheon and as a rule
two or three hours after. She rarely
works in the evening. Her great relaxa
tion is working among her flowers in
| her garden.—Harper's Bazar.
Brooklyn Women for Clean Streets.
The women of Brooklyn, evidently en
couraged by what a few of their sisters
have done in this city, are undertaking
to do something to make the city of their
homes cleaner aud healthier. It is a
wise movement and deserves encourage
ment. In view of what one Now York
woman has accomplished in bringing
about tho enactment of tho new street
cleaning law, it would seem that the
public spirited women of Brooklyn might
profitably turn their energies in the
same direction. There is a lage field for
them to cultivate.—New York Tribune.
Way to Keep Flowers.
Freshly cut flowers may be preserved
alivo for a long time by placing them
in a glass or vase with fresh water in
which a little charcoal has been steeped
or a small piece of camphor dissolved.
The vase should be set upon a plate or
dish and covered with a bell glass,
around the edges of which, when it
comes in contact with the plate, a little
water should bo i>oured to exclude the
air.—New York JournaL
