ORESS REFORM WILL BE SEEN AT
THE COLUMBIAN FAIR.

Girl. Go to College—Children Always
Dressed Up—l.ate Mistress of tho White
House—The Homeiuaker.
That the question of dress reform has
by no means been shelved is apparent in
the numerous articles that continue to
be printed on the subject. In a Boston
periodical a symposium on women's
dress is running monthly; in another
magazine, a paper on the "Gospel of
Dress" is in the same vein, and there
are besides constantly recurring para
graphs in many other prints to be met
with, not to include the several publica
tions whose sole aim is to advance the
cause of this or that hygienic or reform
dress. A reading of them all does not
point to any very near solution of the
problem.
Mrs. Jenness Miller seems to have
made the best showing, but even her at
tractive gowns have failed to become
widely adopted. Even union suits have
been tried and given up by almost as
many women as have retained them,
and corsets are sold about as freely to
day as ever, though they are worn looser.
About the only atrocities that seem to
have been perceptibly eliminated are
wasp waists and high heeled shoes. Yet
every woman who walks out on a windy
or rainy day, with her skirts winding
about lier and the strain of caring for
her gown a ceaseless tax, wishes fer
vently that something could bo evolved
to make heramore comfortable. Several
times she has been hopeful; the Mother
Hubbard gown offered possibilities, but
it was imposed upon and became de
servedly distasteful. The later blazer
and reefer suits have afforded a consid
erable degree of relief for shopping and
traveling, but as fashion introduced
them she is likely to suddenly frown
upon them, and what then? Dress re
form so far seems to have only come in
spots, and evidently has not yet come to
stay.
In this regard the action of a com
pany of women in a neighboring town
should be widely copied. They pledge
themselves to go to the fair next year,
if at all, in a single serviceable gown of
excellent material and good finish, but
made easy and comfortable and un
hampered by undue length of skirt. A
satchel which may be carried in the
hand must hold all other necessities,
and thus untrammeled the club hopes to
be in a condition to endure a maximum
of sightseeing at a minimum of strength
and nerve force.
When you think of it the spectacle of
a woman with ribs and thorax crushed
by tight clothes, movements clogged by
enveloping skirts and head bound and
weighted with a snug and ponderous hat,
strolling through the building devoted
to tho display of the noble progress of
her sex in arts and sciences, will be a
sort of humiliating paradox, won't it?—

Gymnast!?. In Women', College..
Of the modern American college girl
in Turkish trousers who crosseß swords
with a fencing master, vaults bars,
climbs ropes, plays ball, rows, swims
and decks her boudoir with the trophies
of gymnasium tournaments a writer
says:
Calisthenics and gymnastics in a de
sultory way have always been exercised
in girls' schools, but physical training
as now understood was unknown to all
American educational institutions until
the past three years. Vassar in its ear
liest days had a riding school and two
foreign masters of horsemanship. To its
alumni association Vassar is indebted
for its present gymnasium. Welleslsy
needs a separate gymnasium building,
but one of its spacious balls is replete
with the paraphernalia demanded by the
Sargent system. The Smith institution
has a commodious structure. Before
equipping it President Beelye visited the
gymnasia of Europe. The gymnasium
at Bryn Mawr is a beautiful structure,
while outside Harvard college perhaps
no gymasium surpasses that at the
Women's college in Baltimore. It is
equipped with Zander machines at a
cost of SB,OOO. The Swedish system is
followed, and Dr. Mury Hall, the most
expert woman expounder of Ling, is the
instructor, assisted by two Swedish
women, graduates of the royal schools
of Stockholm.
The students of Harvard annex avail
themselves of Dr. Sargent's gymnasium
at Cambridge. Most of these gymnasia
have race tracks and swimming tanks.
The efficacy of the German, Swedish
ancf American (Dr. Sargent's) methods
is now the bone of contention among
physical trainers. The colleges are
divided in their allegiance. Dr. Sar
gent's system, varied by the Swedish,
prevails at Vassar, Wellesley, Smith,
J3ryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke, while
the Baltimore college advocates Swed
ish. The development of the heart and
lungs by free movements of the body is
the basis of the Swedish system, while
muscular strength, developed by ma
chine exercise, is the pivot of Dr. Sar
gent'B method. The German system
pays less attention to hygiene than the
American or Swedish does, and the lat
ter are more educational in their tend
ency.
Why Do Girls Go to Collegef
Not a few articles have been written
to answer the question why a girl goes
to college, but so far no one has had the
happy combination of knowledge and
audacity to give the reply which would
be the true one in many caseB —for the
sake of having a good time. It is uni
versally acknowledged that hundreds of
young men go for that reason; why not,
then, a corresponding proportion of
young ladies, especially since by them
the term "good time" is very likely to
be used literally, meaning a good time
for themselves and for others? More
than half the girl students are preparing
for teaching, or Aive some other clearly
defined end in view; but this leaves a
number, absolutely if not relatively
great, who have no idea of taking up
any form of professional work, who
study for the mere pleasure of it, taken
together with the accessory advantages.
The first class as well as the second,
however, can have "a good time" so
cially, and if it be true that the busiest
people are the happiest, and the happiest
the busiest, then surely the college girl
of today has her full share of occupation
and of pleasure. But she has, on the
whole, no more occupation than she can
well manage and no more pleasure than
she deserves. Bryn Mawr is the leader
of the new movement in favor of more
independence for the students—one
which has been wonderfully successful
so far, and one which we must hope will
prosper even more in the future than it
lias done in the past. The large majority
of college girls are trustworthy, and the
tendency of the times is to recognize the
fact.—Harper's Bazar.
Children Who Are Always Dressed Up.
There is a little girl near by—a deli
cate, nervous creature, small and pale,
who has had to steal her fresh air by
driving with her mamma in a stylish
turnout or simply sitting on the veranda
—always with her pretty white dresses,
with puffed sleeves and unruffled hair—
but, oh, what a pity!—losing all that close
contact with mother earth which her
system needs.
But why look at my neighbor's chil
dren for illustration when I have erred
myself? For during the first of the sum
mer I put my own darling boy of seven
teen months under pretty much the same
discipline. I had a large square of car
peting put on the veranda and a soap
box filled with sand, and after his long
noon nap and dinner of oatmeal porridgo
I would put on a clean white dress and
expect him to keep it presentable. For
awhile the plan worked well; but, alas,
his bigger brother of five years had the
liberty of the whole yard, the gravel in
the driveway—yellow gravel, I grieve to
say it is—the nooks and corners every- j
where where plenty of shovelfuls of
earth could be found, and was the little
one to be deprived of his liberty?
He gained freedom several times by
lying flat on his stomach at the head of
the steps, then backing and sliding down,
thoroughly cleaning them as he went,
but shaking a 4 'goodby" to me with his
hands as ho glided on. So I gave in to
him, and until 5 o'clock he was allowed
to play in full sight of passersby in a
dark check gingham dress, made short,
with no white skirts to soil underneath.

The Lute Mistress of the White House.
The death of the president's wife has
called forth from all parts of the country
expressions of sympathy sincere and
touching. The character of Mrs. Harri
son indeed was such as to command re
spect outside of any consideration of the
position which she held as mistress of
the White House. The phrase which
came to the lips and the pens of thou
sands all over the land when her death
was announced was that she represented
the best type of American womanhood.
This has been said and written so many
times that its repetition may seem trite,
but as applied to Mrs. Harrison it ex
presses better than any other form of
words the character in which she was
known to the American people. She
was a true helpmate to her husband
intellectually—for she was a cultivated
woman—morally and in tho material af
fairs of life. She did her part nobly in
his early struggles to establish himself
iu his profession, and she graced with
dignity the highest place in the land.—

A Woman for Poet Laureate.
Why not a woman laureate to a wom
an sovereign? There is a world of fit
ness in tho combination of ideas. Still
it is not probable that the laureate's
crown will ever grace the brow of a
woman. When Wordsworth died a
suggestion arose that the supreme honor
conferred by the state upon its sweetest
singer should be bestowtd on Mrs.
Browning, then in the meridian of her
powers. The innovation was then not
deemed admissible, though Mrs. Brown
ing's genius was appreciated and hon
ored, and among her successors none
has received the gift of song with the
sweetness and breadth that character
ized her power.
Frances Willard suggests Jean Inge
low as worthy the honor, and adds, with
the crisp terseness characteristic of her
remarks, "Before anybody lifts the
chin in ridicule let the eyes bo lowered
Over an edition of Jean Ingelow's poet
ical works for half a day."—New York

The Women of Jupan.
Women—that is, young women—are
deteriorating in Japan. They are being
westernized. It is asserted that, on the
plea of tediousness and artificiality, the
usages of female life and deportment
have one another been dispensed
with, and the modern girl, in her at
tempts to imitate foreign manners, has
almost transformed herself into a man.
The abuse referred to has reached its
climax in the case of the girls who have
been trained in the Tokio female schools.
Practices hitherto unknown in Japan
have become fashionable among them.
To note a few—there are girls of good
families living alone in lodging houseß;
others walk unattended in the streets
after dark, and groups of five or six
school pupils are to be seen drinking
sake or playing cards together at tea
houses. The native journal asks what
kind of mothers such girls are likely to
make. —Tokio Letter.
Gltugow's Woman College.
Queen Margaret college, which began
its existence in 1877 as an association
for the higher education of women, and
later was incorporated as a woman's
college, has become a part of the Uni
versity of Glasgow. The council of the
college has handed over to the university
the government, the endowments and the
buildings of the college on condition
that the buildings, etc., are to be re
served for the exclusive education of
women, and the college to become in
corporated with the university as a wom
an's department of the same.
This offer the university has accepted,
under the provisions of the act of the
universities' commissioners empower
ing the courts of the several universities
of Scotland to admit women to gradua
tion, and to provide for their education
either in mixed classes of men and wom
en or in separate classes.—Glasgow Let
ter.
A Woman's Bicycle Club.
The efforts of a number of prominent
lady riders to organize a club in this
city will likely meet with success.
There are at present over 500 women in
New York who ride bicycles, and the
want of a clubhouse has been sadly felt
during the past year. Mrs. M. L. Peck,
who had charge of the ladies' division
in the recent wheelmen's parade, has
been chosen president of the new club,
and she is confident of making a success
of the new venture.
Mrs. Peck proposes to secure quarters
convenient to Central park. It is in
tended that weekly runs to surrounding
points shall be held each week, if the
weather permits, and during the winter
mouths to hold several entertainments.
Men will be admitted to membership in
the club.—New York Letter.
Some Women Florist*.
Women are achieving considerable
success in their new business as florists,
and several of them, including Miss
Eadie, of Cleveland; Mrs. Berger, of
San Francisco, and Mrs. Nichols, of
Texas, are well known as successful
decorators. Notable among them is
Mrs. Wilson, of Cleveland, who com
menced business in a small way and
after a course of practical lessons with
a florist about two years ago. Now her
greenhouses cover an area of 10,000 feet,
and she is recognized as the leading
floral artist of the city. Most of her
work is done by girls, among whom she
organized clubs and societies, placing
her own reception rooms at their serv
ice.
Green at a Wedding; Ceremony.
An unusual Wedding tint was that
seen at a recent ceremony. The brides
maids, six in number, were dressed in
crepon gowns of pale green, draped with
sashes of soft silk of a darker shade.
Fichus of white silk muslin were worn,
and the big picture hats were green,
with trimmings of dark green velvet
and light green feathers. Bouquets
of mignonette, the bride's favorite flow
er, harmonized with rather than relieved
these odd but effective toilets.—Her
Point of View in Now York Times.
The Work of Wealthy Women.
The wealthy women of the United
States have given some notable gifts to
the needy during the past decade. The
Maternity hospital, the largest of its
kind in the world, is the gift of Mrs. W.
H. Vanderbilt, and represents in its
building and endowment the sum of
$1,000,000. Mrs. \V. B. Astor founded
and endowed the Cancer hospital, and
now the Seton Home for Consumptives,
which is the largest of its kind in Europe
or America, is rnpidly approaching com
pletion.—New York Letter.
Washing; Summer Woolens.
Outing flannels and all summer wool
ens should be washed in warm suds,
with a little ammonia, and wash by
squeezing through the hands, but do
not rub on the washboard. Rinse in
warm water and hang up, without
wringing, until nearly dry. Then take
them down, stretch them and iron on
the wrong Bide with an iron that is
not very hot. Never put a very hot iron
on woolen goods of any kind, never rub
soap on them and never wring them.—

Mistresses of the White House.
Only four women who presided over
the White House during former ad
ministrations are now living. They
are Mrs. Graut, Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs.
Garfield and Mrs. Hurriet Lane John
ston, who was the mistress of the White
House when her uncle, James Buchanan,
was president.
She Kept Sheep.
One of the best kuown women farmers
in Great Britain, Miss Hope Johnstone,
of Marchbankwood, Dumfriesshire, Scot
land, died the other day. She had a
large sheep farm in Eskdale, which she
superintended herself, and she was an
excellent authority on agricultural mat
ters.
Sarah Bernhardt is writing a play.
This is her first attempt at writing for
the stage, but she has already published
two books—the "Voyage d'une Chaise"
and the noted "Marie Pigeounier," a re
ply to Marie Colombier's attack upon
her in the vulgar "Sarah Barnum."
Some novelties in stationery are in a
riot of color. Terra cotta and turquoise
blue are shown, and pink embossed with
wild roses. A coffee colored sheet is
lined with violet, and a deep crushed
strawberry opens to show pale old rose.
Two American gil ls who are studying
art to good advantage in Rome, whose
work will be seen at the exposition, are
Luella Varney and Adelaide Johnson.

Antique, but Not Desirable*
When traveling in Mesopotamia
Mine. Dieulafoy had an amusing ad
venture on one of the Tigris river boats.
The forward part of the boat was
crowded with pilgrims. In picking her
way through their luggage she noticed
a beautiful rug. It was old, hilt the
tints were exquisite and the design was
beautiful.
She waited until the proprietor of it
had finished his prayers, and then asked
him its price. His honesty, she con
cluded, was not what might have been
i expected from his apparent piety. She
declined to pay the exorbitant price
which he asked. Presently there was a
knock at her stateroom door, and a pil
grim appeared with a package carefully
wrapped up under his arm.
"I have a bargain to offer you," he
said impressively, and ho unrolled his
bundle.
"Do you expect me to buy those?"
asked Mine. Dieulafoy.
"Why not, madame? Did you not just
now wish to buy of my friend Tagliui
his prayer rug? That is faded and old,
to be sure. But then these are more
ancient, much more ancient, I assure
you," replied the pilgrim.
He was much disappointed when the
lady said that she did not care for his
merchandise, although it was undeni
ably old, and in that country rare. It
was a badly worn pair of European
shoes.—Youth's Companion.
Getting Ready for Christmas.
A dear little woman who generally
manages to get everything she wants
imparted to us a scheme that she had
started with a view to Christmas gifts,
and as it is something novel we will tell
it as just a piece of purely feminine
gossip. "You know," she said, "one
always gets a lot of things one doesn't
want. Not but that they are very
lovely and all that, but then they are
not the gifts one would choose if per
mitted to buy them one's self. People
are anxious to give you what you want,
but they don't know unless you tell
them. Now I have a list made out on a
little decorated slate which I have
placed on nr* library table, and every
one who is anxious to give mo a present
can look it over and see what I really
would appreciate. If I get duplicates I
won't mind, for every single item is
something I can't have too many of. It's
cheeky, I know, but I am awfully tired
of dozens of sachets and other silly
trifles that cost exactly as much as
something I really want, and I am in
hopes in this way to remedy matters PO
that general satisfaction will reign all
round."—Philadelphia Times.
Scissors as Hair Ornumonts.
Some progressive individual, with a
taste for the odd, has brought forth that
homely article, tho scissors, from its
limited sphere of household usefulness
and suggested it as an aristocratic adorn
ment. Fashion, represented of course in
the person of many acute jewelers, adopt
ed the idea, and thereupon began to af
fect gold and silver scissors. But as
jewelers have a born aversion (accord
ing to appearances) for a bit of gold, no
matter what the shape is, without its
dopths being pierced by some gem, tho
plain gold scissors ornament was not suf
fered to retain its plainness long. In the
sides of each handle have been intro
duced such pleasing and costly stones as
diamonds, rubies, moonstones and opals.
The blade is unlike that of the com
mon pair of scissors. It is simply made
after the straight sword model and is
sharp pointed and straight. Tho aspect
of the whole is dazzling—so much so, in
fact, as to move the prudish creature to
say, "Dear me, what an awfully dear
hairpin she does use!" But this selfsame
"she" is thereby rolling high on the un
certain waves of fashion.—Jewelers'Re
view.
Bicycling for Girls.
Dr. Richardson in Young Woman
speaks highly of cycling for girls, and
adds: "I have no hesitation in saying
that the young woman who is about to
learn the art of cycling will do best by
choosing the bicycle from the first.
Women sit more gracefully on the bi
cycle than on the tricycle; they work at
less labor, and, all things considered,
they work at less risk."
He remarks that women are hampered
by their dress in this exercise, but he
does not make so 6trong a point of this
as he might fairly do. The ordinary
female skirt is quite uusuited for bi
cycling, though it may pass on the tri
cycle.
If a costume like that in which Herr
Stempel has induced many ladies of so
cial position, pupils of his gymnasium,
to give public displays were introduced
by the women members of some good
cycling clnb for wear in that exercise, it
would he perceived to be so superior in
point of modesty as well as of grace and
safety, and to attract so little notice aft
er being onco seen, that it would he
quickly adopted generally.
All Aspiring and Persevering Woman.
The women students at Oxford have
since 1884 obtained several first class
honors in modern history. This year, for
the first time, a woman has achieved the
distinction of a first class in the final
classical school, and at tho same time j
a Parsee student, Miss Sorabji's, has ac
complished the more remarkable feat of
taking a third class in the
for the B. C. L., the most difficult law
examination of the university. Of twen
ty-five men with whom this woman stu
dent had to compete, two failed alto

one a first.—London Letter.
.Happy French Children.
Of all the children on the face of the
earth the French children have the
greatest right to be thankful, if there is
any virtue in old proverbs, or if proverbs
are ever followed. There is an old
French adage which says childhood
should be made the holiday of life. And
it enjoins parents, under penalty of mis
fortune, to make it such. "No cares,
no fears, no tumult, uo strife—all merri
ment," is the French rule for childhood.

GEMS IN VERSE.
Bo Not Content.
Bo not content; contentment means inaction;
The growing soul aches on its upward quest;
Satiety is twin to satisfaction;
All great achievements spring from life's
unrest.
The tiny roots, deep in the dark mold hiding,
Would never bless the earth with leaf and
flower
Were it not an inborn restlessness abiding
In seed and germ to stir them with its power.
Were man contented with his lot forever,
He had not sought strange seas with sails
unfurled.
And the vast wonder of our shores had never
Dawned on the gaze of an admiring world.
Prize what is yours, but be not quite contented;
There is a healthful restlessness of soul.
By which a mighty puri>ose is augmented,
In urging men to reach a higher goal.
So when the restless impulse rises, driving
Your calm content before it, do not grieve;
It is the upward reaching and the striving
Of the God in you to achieve, achieve.

Afore I sweat at anything!
Ef I only had my ruthers.

With all men as my brothers.
And they'd be all the same with me,

Ef I only had my ruthers—
And bo paid dollars 'stid o' dimes,

Fer others, not herself, God knows!
The grave her only change of clothes!
Ef I only had my ruthers.
They'd all have "stuff" and time enough
To answer one another's
Appealin prayer fer "lovin care"—
Ef I only had my ruthers.
They'd bo few folks 'ud ast fer trust—
Ef I only had my ruthers—
And blame few business men to bust
Theirselves or hearts of others;
Big guns 'at come hero durin fair
Week could put up Jest anywhere
And find a-full and plenty there,
Ef I only had my ruthers;

With all their lowly brothers
Feelin we done the honorun—

Until Death.
Make me no vows of constancy, my friend,
To love mo, though I die, the whole lifelong.
And love no other till thy days shall end-
Nay, it were rash and wrong.
It would not make me sleep more peacefully
That thou were wasting all thy life in woo
For my poor sake. What love thou hast for me
Bestow it ere I go!
Carve not upon a stone when I am dead
The praises which remorseful mourners give
To women's graves—a tardy recompense-
But speak them while I live.
Heap not the heavy marble on my head
To shut away the sunshine and tho dew;
Let small blooms grow there, and let grasses
wave,
And raindrops Alter through.
Thou wilt meet many fairer and more gay
Than 1; but, trust me, thou canst never find
Ouo who will love and serve thee night and day
With a more single mind.
Forget mo when I die! Tho violets
Above my rest will blossom just as blue.
Nor miss thy tears—e'en Nature'sself forgets—
But while 1 live, be true!
Tho Ministry of Woman.
How beautiful tho ministry
Of woinun's gentle hand!
How soft love's attributes that spring
At her divine command.
For weal or woe, for good or ill.
About man's careless life
She weaves the blossoms of her heart
As mother, maid or wife.
She leads his feet up from the pit;
She bids his spirit rise;
Sometimes by her superior will.
Sometimes by pleading eyes.
Or else she lures him from the height*
To darkest depths below;
From peace and Joy and love and heaven
To bitterness and woe.
Oh, woman, lovely womankind!
Be careful how you play
The role of queen, in this your realm.
To him whom you may sway.
