WOMAN'S WORLD. ORESS REFORM RECOMMENDED BV WOMEN'S NATIONAL COUNCIL. Tho Women of Brooklyn—Difficult Feat For a Woman—Two Women and One Muff—ln Favor of Universal Woman Suf frage An Kxperiment In Dancing. A little over two years ago tho Nation al Council of Women of the United States, assembled in tho interests of the sex, passed this resolution: Resolved, That tho general ofllcers shall ap point a committee of women whose duty it shall bo to report within a year suggestions for ¥ a business costume for women which shall meet tho demands of health, cojnfort and good taste. The committee consisted of Frances E. Russell of St. Paul, chairman; Annie Jenness-Miller, Frank Stuart Parker and Octavia W. Bates, M. D. The committee has recently made pub lic the following report: Ono of the duties assigned to the com mittee was the reporting tho commit tee's idea of an everyday dress for wom en—a dress, as explained in the resolu- , tion, "suitahlo for business hours, for shopping, for marketing, housework, walking and other forms of exercise." j As the executive board and the com- i mittee on dress agree in deprecating anything in tho nature of a uniform for i women, ouwecommendations will allow i large liberty for tasto and judgment Onr hope is to deliver women from cor tain hard and fast linos, within which fashion has so long confined them. It has been customary to clothe the head regardless of comfort. Our recom mendation is to relieve the head from unnecessary weight and furnish a prop er protection from sunshine and cold. We take pleasure in recommonding the union underwear of varying texture, prico and style, the equestrian trousers, and any properly adjusted waist, or none, us forming a very perfect system of un derclothing, which is a necessary condi tion of freedom and comfort. Utility and beauty, of which proportion is an essential element, demand freedom of outline, and outside dress should con form to this principle. Numerous beautiful designs, somo of them including tho short waist of the empire period, have been offered to us by artists and others, which each may adopt according to her individual needs. Among these aro three costumes in which the principles named aro practically ap plied. Theso costumes are the Syrian dress, suggested by our English sisters; the gymnasium dress, which is acknowl edged to bo graceful and beautiful, and tho American costume, consisting of a short skirted gown with loggings. Recognizing those different designs as merely suggestive, great latitude and variety are possible in general effect. Tho dressing of tho neck should bo loose and easy, whatever style of collar may bo preferred, and the sleeves, how ever cut. should givo tho greatest possi ble freedom to the arms. Tho best authorities agree that the hands and feot require as much freedom as any other parts of tho body; tliere - fore easy fitting gloves and shoes loose across the biills, with room for the toes and with low, broad heels, aro recom mended. The outside wrap should bo loose enough to permit unrestrained motion to every member of the body. Tho above is submitted as outlining, at least in essentials, a reasonable dress for all women who are engaged in tho activities of life. After making theso suggestions tho committee says: This present year offers an exception ally good opportunity for the women who crave freedom from tho unwhole some restrictions imposed by tho con ventional dress to adopt a moro sensible costume. Women visiting tho Colum bian exposition, where the costumes of foreign nations will show so much that is unconventional to American eyes, need not fear to attract unpleasant notice by wearing there tho short street dress, will add greatly to their comfort in viewing the fair. Tho Women of Brooklyn. The wives cut a great figure in Brook lyn—a lovely figure, of course—and one that reveals wholesome and normal con ditions. Everything tends to widen their freedom—the quiet city, tho saving in rents, the absence of the men and the fatigue or tho desire for entertainment, either or both, of the men at night. Therefore tho women have had the op portunity to build up a pretty rivalry for self improvement. Tliey get the lat est books from the libraries. They go to cooking school in order to shine at din ners of their own preparing. They flock to dancing school that they may triumph at their own parties. They pre- , pare papers to read in other houses so j that the others may read papers at theirs. There is no whim of feminine fashion that is set spinning in New York but whirls when it gets over to Brooklyn—always provided that it does not cost too much . or require going to the theater. The women are the very backbone of j the churches in which they sing and mild fairs, and by means of which they | figure in circles that are proud of them. I Is it any wonder that they cannot tol- | erate New York, whero the shopkeepers won't send a purchase around the corner without pay in advance, where the pews are private property in the best churches, and where a lady feels herself of no ac count in tho burly burly? In Brooklyn tho police understand who owns the town, and tho car drivers pull up in the middle of a block. Besides, if my lady has no carriage, she observes that her neighbors also use the horse cars.—Julian Ralph in Harper's. Difficult Feat For a Woman. Mrs. Burgess, t|iu wife of a member of the Newfoundland assembly, has accom plished a feat second only to that of Mrs. Peary. She accompanied her husband to the sessions at St. John's, walking 280 miles over snow and ice on snowshoes. They had a guide, a sledge and three (togs carrying luggage and provisions. tbo first portion of their journey, 108 miles from Little Bay, their home. along the coast, they frequently traveled | many miles over the ice on bays and in ! htfs. Three nights were spent without good shelter. They made a temporary | shelter of branches of trees and warmed J themselves at fires. Sleep was impossi i ble owing to tho cold. ; Oil one occasion it was necessary to cross an arm of the sea 11 miles wide in a boat. The boat was leaky. Four row ! ers the burgess and his wife, the guide, | dogs and sledge were all in the boat. They had to unravel a rope to fill the seams of tho boat and prevent her from sinking. They were caught in the run | ning ice and nearly carried out to sea. The men gave themselves up for lost, hut they gained an isolated rock and finally got to the mainland. The rest of the journey, 127 miles, was through the in terior, crossing rivers by means of trees lying across. Several snowstorms were encountered, and 16 days were occupied in the journey. Mrs. Burgess is tho first woman in Newfoundland to make such a journey. Two Women and Ono Muff. A lady living within a score or bo of miles from Springfield attended an after noon lecture in the city hall, and on her way up town, when near Bridge street, she discovered she had left her muff in the hall. She retraced her steps, care fully scrutinizing tho muffs in tho hands of the women sho met. At tho corner of Pynchon street she met a woman with her property, and demanded excitedly, "Where did you get my mulfi" Tho woman turned white and in tremulous accents replied, "I-I-I just found itdovln here," pointing at the sidewalk with a shaking hand. "No, you didn't," said tho lady. "You got it in the city hall!" The woman brightened up a little and answered: "Yes, I did. I told the man I'd take it to you. I'm real glad I met yon." "So am I," emphatically said the owner of the mnif as she seized her property and turned away. Shortly aft erward, remembering seeing something white in tho woman's hand us sho pulled it out of tho muff, tho lady mado an ex amination and found her pocket handker chief missing.—Springfield (Muss.) Hom estead. In Favor of UnivcrKul Woman Suffrage. A joint memorial has been introduced in the Wyoming legislature asking con gress to submit to the states a woman suffrage amendment to the United States constitution. It reads as follows: Bo it resolved by the second legislature of tho state of Wyoming: That the seuate and house of representatives of the United States of America be memorial ized as follows: We, your memorialist, tho legislature of tho stato of Wyoming, would respectfully repre sent to tho honorable congress of the United States that nearly if not fully one-half of tho citizens of this nation are, without eause or reason, unjustly deprived of the right of suf frage and participation in political affairs solely on account of sex. Recognizing in tho women of America our equals in point of intel ligence and culture, and believing that they aro not only fully capable of and justly entitled to the right of assisting in the choice of those to whom tho duty shall bo assigned of making the laws and managing the affairs of tho nation, but of actual participation therein, your me morialist would therefore respectfully and earnestly urge tho honorable congress of the United Stutes to enact a law submitting to tho several states of this Union an amendment to the constitution of the United States granting lull and equal political rights to the women of tho United States, and as in duty bound your memorialist will ever pray. All .Experiment In Dancing. For a good many years past ballroom reformers have been pretty constantly agitating for the revival of that stately and classic dance, the minuet. The dis inclination of young men to dance at all, and their preference for the waltz when they do condescend to ask for a dance has been an inert obstacle in the way; but at last Ilerr Johann Strauss, the famous Viennese musician, has suc ceeded in obtaining a trial of his pet idea. At the White Cross society's char itable ball in Vienna 28 couples danced a minuet. The men wore dress coats and black knee breeches, while the young ladies were all arrayed in white empire dresses and sandals. The experiment, wo are told, was "a great success." Perhaps we may pres ently see the minuet in American ball rooms. The cheapness and simplicity of the dresses in which it is danced will lend it favor in the eyes of fathers of daughters, but whether the daughters will see the matter in the same light is not quite so certain.—San Francisco Ar gonaut. A Lciitfii Kpinodc, A certain metropolitan belle on a late bitterly cold day chanced to be crossing town in a Fourteenth street car with a number of homo going workmen. An old Irishwoman, laden with a bulky market basket, stood upon the platform loudly la menting their slow progress. "Me hands ull be froze aff me," was her frequent exclamation. A Lenten opportunity to mortify the flesh, thought the society girl to her pretty self. "Your hands will keep warm if you give me your basket to hold." The old woman struck a meditative at titude and gave a long searching glance over the other's tailor made person. She shook her head decidedly. "I guess not. Mo pocketbook's inside that basket." The blushing penitent deemed it un necessary discipline even for Lent when a rough fellow opposite took up her cause with the protestation, "Ah, she's all right."—New York Times. (.'hioago'H Womeii'M C'lufxt. Chicago women have two notable wo men's clubs, known as tlie Fortnightly club and the Woman's club, and are ad mitted to the Saracen club as rugular members. Membership in the Fortnight ly is limited to 175. This successful or ganization was formed for the purpose of bringing together in some permanent association the scattered elements of in tellectual life among women. Quite the opposite policy governs the Woman's club, which was organized in 1876, and has nearly 000 members. We have noth ing in New York which corresponds with this great body of women. Its work is practical as well as literury, and deuls largely with the prominent social ques tions of the day. Acting through special 1 committees upon particular subjects, it has an energetic share in the work of . j philanthropy and social reform, affect! I public opinion and contributes an im portant factor to the higher life of the , city.—Now York Sun. , A Popular Continue. What a pleasure it is to see women turn out in a well fitting tailor made frock! With their short, neat, business like skirts, patent leather boots, hair , done up tight and smooth, cravats spot | less and fastened with tiny pearl headed j safety pins, hats fitting well and perfect j ly secured, beautifully cut bodices and 11 well fitting chevrette gloves, they sally j forth, and though the day may be rainy and boisterous they look little tho worse | when they come homo. I Even the men do not rival them in i turning up tidy after a long walk, wiili I the rain beating in their faces and the ! wind trying its best to dishevel them. For wear with tho tailor mado costume, or rather with the tailor made skirt ami jacket, the ever comfortablo blouse bodice is with us always and shows no signs of taking its departure—in fact, it will bo more seen than ever this spring. —New Yo|# Tribuno. Tho Queen*s Hiniloostanl. A correspondence has been started and happily concluded as to the merit of her majesty's Hindoostani handwriting. Tho Times of India refuses to admit the merit of her majesty's tutor, or of tho actual handwriting, while the writer of a re cent article in Tho Strand Magazine as sures every one that "tho statement is as ungenerous as it is untrue. I can assure you that her majesty writes Hindoostani better than many Englishmen who have been studying tho language for some years." Surely such a trivial matter must he quito beside the question, and far less important than that the queen has voluntarily made herself mistress of a languago spoken by so many of her subjects.—Ladies' Pictorial. Feminine liven When In Peril. One humorous incidout connected with tho firo is told mo by a member of En gine 25. Ho was with a few members of that company attempting to save a screaming young lady who was hanging from tho third story of the Ames build ing. At the risk of their own lives they finally placed a ladder on tho burning building, and one man took the young lady from her perilous position and placed her safely on the ground. Instead of running as fast as she could for her life, she carefully took hold of her skirts and lifted them so as not to wet them and slowly picked her way among the debris and on to the opposite sidewalk, where she disappeared.—Boston Record. I):ita Concerning Children. Certain ladies charged with tho duty of obtaining data for a study of young humanity, now send to new mothers lit tle blankbooks provided with questions as to when tho baby first exhibited the senso of hearing, when he first took note of light, what were his earliest signs of distress and many more such.. The ques tions are designed to furnish hints for an investigation extending over the first four years of the child's life. In time all the books will be collected and sent to Germany as aids to tho persons who are one day to announce tho results of an elaborate study of mental develop ment during infancy and early child hood.—Now York Recorder. A Now Position FOP Women. A new departure has been made in the senate. Senator Poffer has selected as clerk to his committee his daughter, Miss Nellie Peffer. The committee of which ho is chairman is that to examine the several branches of the civil service. It is a committeo that seldom meets, and the duties of its clerk will not he oner ous. This is the first time that a woman has been appointed to tho clerkship of a senate committee, although there have been instances where senators have em ployed their wives as private secretaries. —Cor. Philadelphia Press. A Young Wouiilll'ti Salutatory. Miss Eva C. Kinney recently assumed control of a Kansas paper. She made an announcement at that time which, while doubtless very pleasing to her friends, must have caused surprise among tho general readers of her publication. "I am," she wrote, "a girl, with all a girl's love for fun, frolic and romance." A Woman'. Bequests. Mme. Allemandi, who died a few days ago in Paris, left SB,OOO to the Swiss gov- 1 eminent, $20,000 to the city of Basel, SO,OOO tp the Canton Basel and $4,000 to the Canton Solotlium. The interest of j the money is to be used in paying for the wedding outfits of tho daughters of poor Swiss laborers. Mme. Modjeska is said to contem plate studying Sanskrit, in order that ; she may read the poetry of that lau- j guage. She is already an accomplished J linguist, speaking English, German ! French and Italian, as well as her own [ tongue. Do not wear ties If the throat is full i and largo. Stout ladies should avoid the how at the throat. Small ties in | bridle fashion or around the coil of hair are in better taste. Heavy ribbon and ! lace ties should he tabooed with largo collars. Mrs. Barrett Browning, the daughter- | in-law of Robert Browning, is encour aging window gardening in Azolo, the city in Italy probably dearest to the poot. Sho gives prizes for plants and flowers grown in balconies and gardens. At a recent military wedding in Wash ington the bride wore to church a half dozen yellow garters, which upon the return of the party to tho house where tho breakfast was served were distrib uted among the bridemaids. The cheapest dross made by Worth, the Parisian milliner, even if of cotton, does not cost less than $l5O, and this he calls his "pauvretto costume" (tho poor girl's dress). I Father uml Sou lie. onell.i The reconciliation of King Otcrr of Sweden and his favorite son. Prince Os car, lias at length taki place. The king and the prince ha\ hardly ever met since the Litter's morganatic mar riage to Miss Ebba Mnn l ; who was one of his mother's maids of lonor. Miss Munk was not particularly pretty, hut had somehow or other sue ceded in win ning the affections of Prince Oscar, who was infatuated with her to such a degree that, notwithstanding the opposition of his father and of all his relatives except his mother, ho carried his way and mar ried her, the ceremony taking place at ; Bournemouth in England. I Before this, however. Prince Oscar had to renounce his claims to the suc ! cession to the throne, as well as all his privileges and prerogatives as a son of the king. He was deprived of the title of royal highness, of all precedence save , that which ho enjoyed as an officer in | the navy, and was reduced in every par j ticular to the rank of a mere nobleman. ' Aforeover, he was practically banished to Carlskrona, the great naval arsenal of ! Sweden, where ho lived quietly and un j ostentatiously in a small villa looking I out onto the port, winning universal ' popularity by his unaffected and modest demeanor. While there. 011 one occa | sion, he greatly distinguished himself by I saving from drowning a sailor during a tenable hurricane. Quito recently a reconciliation between father and son has taken place, and at tho request of King Oscar the Count and Countess of Tor bey have now left Carls krona and taken up their abode at Stock holm, greatly to the satisfaction of the I queen, who has all along endeavored to bring about a more pleasant state of [ affairs between her husband and her fa vorite son.—Boston Globe. Small Hoys' Guinea. "A sure sign of returning siiring!" said a leading citizen in a contemplative mood to a reporter, as they watched a party of street urchins "plucking tops" near one of the big down town buildings. "I often wonder how these 'kids' man age to change their games simultaneous ly with the season. Just as the birds be gin to coo and twitter and mate for the nesting season, so the season of tops, marbles, stilts and kite flying are inau gurated among the young Americans of tho male persuasion. Girls' skipping ropes and hoops are nothing to them. "The epidemic of taking up a game when its season rolls around is as con tagious as we are told the cholera mi crobes will be next summer. One day tho 'kids' all over the city may bo doing just anything for amusement, and the next day every mother's son of them will have an old pecked up top and a piece of cord plucking away for dear life. It is instinct, I think, and nothing else that prompts them to take up certain games at certain seasons. Regarding tho imi tation theory, there never was a person who saw tho first boy spin his top in any season, and, furthermore, no hoy could start tho epidemic by spinning his top in tho fall of tho year."—Kansas City Times. Aiig-louiunincg. I The appearance of those cheap imita tions of the genus swell upon the fashion able thoroughfare on promenade is add ing offenßiveness to that which had al ready aroused regret. Theso overdono parsonages were wear ing trousers too long and going without topcoats during the cold weather. Others wore abnormal overcoats reaching almost to their ankles. Some of them wear rus set shoes, giving rise to the suspicion that they have escaped from Boston. But all have a penchant for over largo ill made boutonuieres and those dreadful low crowned, cone shaped, extra wide brimmed derby liats that are a sight to behold. They are tho greatost set of guys ever let loose for tho edification of an en lightened public. Whero do they come from? They are like unto tho English Johnnies that come over with the Gaiety skirt dancers—tho first of their kind— and perhaps they will disappear just as did their English prototypes.—Clothier and Furnisher. Kentucky's Unique Exhibit. The proprietors of one of the large Louisvillo distilleries have t (cured the privilege of erecting within tiio World's fair grounds a log cabin "stillhouse," after the fashion of those found in Ken tucky 50 years ago. The "stillhouse" will be 40 feet long, 05 feet wide and 40 feet high. A warehouse will also bo built of logs, and between tho two build ings will be an observation tower. The stills will be of highly polished brass, and five barrels a day will bo produced. The distillery will be run on tho old time plan by three graybeards from the mountains of Virginia. Tlicy are 80 years of age. All the metal work will be of highly polished brass, and the liquor will run through glass tubes, so that tho process cun be watched from beginning to end. Work has been begun already on the log cabins. It is said that the en terprise will require an outlay of $40,000. —Louisville Courier-Journal. A Now Idea In Shipbuilding*. A new idea in shipbuilding has been developed at Belfast. There is ill im mense vessel on tho stocks tliero which has no keel for about 120 feet from the stern post,'while six feet of the sternpost is cut away, tho hull of the vessel slop ing from the horizontal for the 120 feet until level with the curtailed sternpost. Tho bottom of the sternpost and tho actual stern of tho vessel ure not con nected in any way. The vessel is a twin screw, and the propellers will work through a small aperture, with nothing between them and the water beneath. They will therefore always be in un broken water.—Boston Journal. Inauguration Extravagance. Inauguration extravagance is still talked of. "We paid SBO a day for our two rooms," said one womau yesterday, "and could barely get enough to eat." "Why, my dear," answered ker com panion, "we paid SIOO a day and starved —literally starved."—New York Times. ' TIIE RUN ON THE BANK There was a ruu on the Sandhill and District hank. It had lasted the whole of one day and had showed no signs of abating i:i the evening. If it la. ted another day—old Mr. Hnulsliaw wiped his brow. It was rto use talking to his son Dick, for he took 110 interest in business and had spent the day in a boat with the Flirtington girls. Still Mr. Bradshaw was bound to talk to some one. "We shall have to put the shutters up. One day's grace would save us, I believe; we could get the money then. But if they're at us again tomorrow morning wo can't last two hours." Dick sympathized, but had nothing to suggest except that it would not make mat ters worse if lie carried out his engagement to go to the circus witli the Flirtington girls. "Oh, goto Hong-Kong with the Flirting ton girls, if you like," groaned Mr. 13rutl shaw. So Dick went—to the circus (the other ex pedition as he observed would keep) and enjoyed the performance very much, espe cially the lion taming, which was mugniii cent, and so impressed Dick that ho de serted his companions, went behind the scenes, and insisted on standing Signor Philippini several glasses. "Is that big chap quite safer 1 " he asked admiringly. "lean do anything with Mm," said the signor (whose English was naturally de- ) fective), "hut with anyone helso Vs a roar er, 'e is, and 110 mistake." After the performance Dick took the Flirt- i ington girls home; then, with a thoughtful j look 011 his face, he went and had some talk with his father and came away, carefully I placing a roll of notes in his breast pocket. 1 Then lie sought Signor Philippini's society ; once more. And that is all that is really known about it—if, that is, we discard the obviously fanciful statement of Fanny 1 Flirtington that as she was gazing at tho ; 1110011 about 2a. 111. she saw a heavy wagon drawn by two horses and driven by Signor Philippini pass along tho street in the di rection of the bank. She must have been ! wrong, for Philippini, by the evidence of j his signora—whose name, notwithstanding ' that Philippini's morals were perfectly cor- i rect, was Mrs. Buggins—went to bed at half past 11 o'clock and snored all night. However these things may he, this is what ! happened next morning. When the first of j tho depositors arrived at 7 a. m., they found ' one of the windows of the bank smashed to I pieces and the shutter hanging loose. A cry went up that there had been a robbery, and one or two men began to climb in. They did not get far before a fearful roar proceeded from the neighborhood of the counter. They looked at one another and said it would be more regular to wait for the officials. The roars continued. Tliey sent for Mr. Bradshaw. Hardly had he arrived (accom panied by Dick, breathless and in shirt sleeves) before the backmost rows of tin; now considerable crowd became agitated with a new sensation. A lion had escaped from the menagerie and was supposed to be at large in the town. "Send for Philippini!" cried the proprie tor. They did so. Philippini had started early for a picnic in the country and would not return till just before the performance in the evening. The proprietor was in despair. "Where's the beust gone to?" he cried. A roar from the bank answerered his J question. "Well, I'm blowed if he's not in the | hank I" exclaimed the proprietor. It certainly appeared to be tho fact that Atlas (that was the lion's name) had taken refuge in the bank and was in full pos ; session of the promises and assots. Under ! these circumstances there was, Mr. Brad shaw explained, a difficulty in resuming cash payments, but if his cheeks would be accepted The crowd roared almost as loud as At las at such an idea. Something must be done. They sent for the mayor; he repudi ated liability. They sent for the fire bri ! gade and the lifeboat crow; neither would come. They got guns and peppered the furniture. Atlas retired behind the fire- i proof safe and roared worse than ever, j Meanwhile the precious hours were pass- ! , ing. Mr. Bradshaw's money was also on ! its way from London. At last Dick took a : noble resolution. "I will go in at any cost," he cried, and I i in spite of Fanny Flirtington's tears he | scaled the window and disappeared from ] j view. The crowd waited to hear Atlas | crunching, but he only roared. When Dick was inside, he paused and asked in a low j voice, "Is he chained?" j "Yes," answered Signer Philippini from j j behind the safe. "Is tho Aunt Sally busi- 1 | ness over?" and he came out with a long ! polo in his hand. He used the pole to stir I poor Atlas up when the roars became de- ' flcient in quantity or quality. "The money ought to be here in three j hours," said Dick. "Have you got the back i door key?" Philippini reassured him. Then Dick ; took a wild running leap at the window, j Philippini stirred up Atlas, who roared 1 lustily. Dick escaped with his life and landed a breathless heap at the mayor's j feet. The mayor raised him, and the vicar ! (who had no money in the hank) indig nantly asked the crowd if they could not : trust a family which pi educed scions like that. Several people cried, "Hear, hear!" ; and told Mr. Brudshaw that they never j really meant to withdraw their deposits. Mr. Bradshaw thanked them and looked at his watch. At half past 3 Philippini ran up. lie was ! breathless, and his shoes were dusty from walking in tho country. At once lie effect- I " ed an entry, amid a scene of great excite ment. A moment later he appeared at the I window and cried in a terror stricken voice: j "I can't 'old 'im! I can't 'old 'im! 'K's madl Look out for yourselves!" And he 1 leaped from the window. The crowd fled in all directions, and two boys were all but run over by a cart which was being driven rapidly from the railway station to the bank. "All right," said Dick to tho signor; 1 "bring up the wagon." And then with , great diiliculty and consummate courage the signor and Dick brought an iron cage ( up to the window and drove Atlas in. i "We gained just the time we needed," said Mr. Bradshaw. "It was dirt chcup { at £50!" i And Dick was taken into partnership and ' married Fanny Flirtington. It was the { only way of preventing her seeing things ; she was not meant to see out of the window ' at 2a. m. and chatting about them in pub- { lie.—True Flag. When Kettledrums Were New.
