PRETTY T0KER PICTURES.

LAURA STARR DESCRIBES A MOST FASCINATING ART.

AH You to M»ke Them with la Piw« of Iron limited ami Tubl«*t of Wood or Leather Combtnml with Llttlo Arlintlo Keeling.

(Copyright, 1 $£*.]

Poker pictures aro something like etchings or paintings done in sopin. They have the advantngc, however, of being more easily accomplished and more durable than cither of these. All sorts of useful and ornamental articles inay be decorated with this work, which looks best done on white, brownish or gray stained hard wood, although it has been adapted to leather with very good elTect.

fV**---

TOE POKER.

If wood is used, it is liettor to have a close grained piece free of knots, such as sycamore, pear, lime or holly, tha whiter the lietter. Sycamore and holly are considered the best, but they are in many localities rather expensive. Wood is used for decorative panels for tho walls, for panels and borders for all kinds of furniture and for pictures. Tho background of the picture and the frame are frequently of different kinds of wood. As often, however, the 8.11110 wood is used ami the picture extended to the edge of the frame.

Leather is used for port folios, blotters, photograph holders, lamp mate, pillow rolls, cushions, etc., etc. Tho leather should be stift ami heavy, and the article, whenever possible, trimmed with thongs of lighter and different colored leather.

The work is very simple: one merely draws with a platina pencil, or, rather, point'-d tool, which must bo kept at a regular heat, just as if any other drawing were lieing done with ordinary materials. Probably the worker will at first be rather taken back at tho broad, round end of the pencil, and feel sure that nothing can be done with it, but she will soon be quite surprised at the fine lines that can be made by using it sideways. and as soon as she has learned to regulate the heat of th- same.

A great deal may le done with the ordinary kitchen poker, which should bo short and light in the handle but it requires a considerable amount of practice, owing to its length and weight, to manage this with dexterity. In addition to the poker, six other tools will be found convenient these any ironmonger can easily make.. The irons are twelve inches long, allowing two inches to be sunk into an octagonal wooden handle three and half inches long, making total length thirteen and a half inches.

Two small pokers may bo made like A. one 1 inches in circumference, the other 1} inches. Four crooked like are useful they are similar to a boy's iron hoop slick, only the top must not lie taken round, and where thecurve begins the iron should be 11at. The croolt should decrease in width and thickness at the end, according to tiie size. The six should be as follows: No. 1, small poker, li inches in circumference: No. 2, small poker. 1} inches in circumference No. 8. a l)ent iron stick, the crook being inch wide and 4 inch thick No. 4. crook inch wide, inch thick No. 0, crook inch wide, $ inch thick No. 0, 1 inch wide and inch t'.ick.

The fHitline is sketched first in charcoal, then flicked off so as to leave onlv a faint mark if drawing is a dilliculty the design may be traced by means of transfer paper, pressing lightly over tho outline with a fine point. Some of tho surface of the cnriion paper should bo niblied off with cotton wool before it is applied, and to the wood or leather. This is to avoid leaving too much of a lino in the delicate parts, such as tho nostrils, eyes, etc.. where the shading is fight.

The designs should be rough and bold. Heads of old men and womtm and animals are the most ellix.-tive. Beginners will find that the conventionally treated dragons 011 the lamp mat design are not difficult, while the heud of a tiger, a lion or a cat is also a good study with which to commence.

LEATHER I,AMP MAT Wl'l'U BURST DESION. The leather lamp mat is made of two pieces, the under dark brown, the upper light tan color. Narrow thongs of leather tie them together. The linca and dragons on tho topmost pfoco are done with a few touches of the hot poker. The quotation 1 "Truly tho light is sweot and a pleasant thing it is for tho eyo to behold," is burned around tho center.

THE YCH/NG GIRL'S AGE.

Clirlstlno Torlultm llrrrlrk Writ*'* of Olio l'hiw of tin" Girl of tho IVrtoil. [l"o|i}-ri^ht, 1S90,]

This has been callcd the children's age. With almost equal force might it bo termed the young girl's age, for during the past two decades she has been steadily growing importance. What she shall make of herself absorbs the attention of intelligent thinkers far more than does the question of how to dispose of her brother. For her education colleges are founded, for her self support professions are developed—-one might alI most say. invented—for her protection ns a worker. Christian associations, clubs and protective unions are organized.

Books are written to lea('h, to encourage, to direct her, and there are not lacking those who declare tha*. her influence is molding at least one important branch of literature. Theetl'ect that the ''young person" has upon fiction is a favorite lament with a certain class of writers of the day who deplore that they have to avoid high seasoning that might cause a smart to youthful palates, and' to modify their treatment of what they are pleased to style the real side of life.

An editorial writer in a popular magazine recently referred to a late novel that had excited comment by downright dealing with erotic phases, and defended such plainness of speech by the assertion that the average young woman. 011 whose behalf parents and guardians were indignant with this novelist, was not only familiar with such English classics as Fielding, Smollett and Sterne, but that she had usually perused also translations of the Decameron and the Ileptameron, and had a more than casual acquaintance with other works of a similar character.

So far as the writer of this knows, no one has yet taken the pains to contradict so unwarrantable a statement. Their author doubtless lielieved he was justified in making such an allegation but his association with young girls must havo been singularly unfortunate if those he knows have lx?cn generally addicted to the class of literature he includes in this category.

Then? are two popular beliefs current concerning the girl of the period. One holds her to be almost an angel in her innocence and ignorance of evil, a creature whose absolute purity is only equaled by the total lack of perception that enables her to live in a world liko ours, and yet never suspect that it holds sins and moral tinsavoriness.

The other class of theorists concerning girls go to the opposite extreme ami impute to them a "knowingness" which verges upon shameles.sness. The injustice of the latter view is paralleled by the absurdity of the former. Tnless a girl has been brought up as was the sleeping Heauty, in a tower, or unless she is a rank fool, she cannot escape the knowledge that there is sin in the world. Yet the coenizanco of "how sad and how bad and how mad it is" does not detract from her innate purity. The innocence that can lx- sorrowfully aware of evil without lieing contaminated by it outvalues that ignorance which either cannot or will not own the existence of wickedness.

Every one who has had an extended acquaintance with girls knows that there are as wide variances in their characters as in those of men. Minds clean and minds unclean are found among both. There are women in whose presence the most daring would hesitate to repeat a salacious tale or allusion, and others with whom one feels that a "shady" story, if cleverly told, would be greeted witli applause. But be it said, to the credit of womankind at large, that the latter are the rare exceptions—never tho rule. "I have toid just one 'naughty' story in my life, said a middle aged matron. "That was wh"ii I could not have been more than lb years old. A parly -f us girls were spending a jolly evening together. and there had been numerous harmless 'merry jests'exchanged. Finally there occurred to my mind an anecdote I had recently heard, one with a double meaning, which, to do me justice, I had not really appreciated. Excited with the talk and laughter, I announced that I knew 'an awful story,' and, after due urging, I repeated my double entendre narrative. The moment the words had passed my lips their true significance burst upon me, and I would havo given worlds to recall' them. I shall never forget tho shocked silence that settled down over the group, who had innocently construed my qualification of 'awful' to mean simply 'droll.' To this day tho blood rushes tinglingly to my cheeks as I recall that dreadful moment. It taught me a lesson I have never forgotten."

Really "nice" girls—to use this adjective in lieu of one better, but less expressive—do not read impure books if they know it any more than they wittingly make coarse remarks or tell stories that are "off color." Without closing their eyes to the fact that sin exists, they yet strive to preserve their mental garments unsullied, and to do this avoid contact with pitch in any form, whether in clever book or amusing anecdote.

Such avoidance of sin in its least repulsive form does not Imply Phariseeisra. There are many women who, assuming as watchwords "Honi soit qui mal pense" and "In llis Name," go fearlessly into evil localities in the good works familiar to most workers in Women1! Christian associations and to the King's Daughters. From their own blessedly clean standpoint thoy stretch helping hands to those whose raiment has not escaped soil, and ikawthem up with that "strong pull of thedown reaching hand" whose potency Is proverbial.

While such wonderful results in reforming and reclaiming are boing wrought by women, it ill becomes carp--ers to animadvert harshly upon the puremlndedness of girls. Of this body wore those who are tho women of today, as well as those developing into the women who will do their share towards the healing of the world in the coming years.

Their Work ami Method*.

•t'liinTi^hU ISCKV]

Prominent among the circle of NewYork women who are active with the pen is Mrs. Marv V. II. Terliune. This name will probably convey no idea to thou.-ands who read it. and were not two magic words added many would confess that they had never heard of her. Tho words are 'Olarion Harland," and at their appearance puzzled faces become clear again, for this woman is a housohold friend to countless uiemhcrg of her sex who have never seen her. She is well known to novel readers by some dozen or more works of fiction, and in later years to young housekeepers, to whom her sensible works on culinary matters have been godsends. She has won her latest success as editor of The Home Maker now well established, and is as busy a woman as can be found.

Much of her editorial work is done at her home in Hrooklvn, and such is the well ordered routine- of bur daily work that she says she can get through with the day's preliminaries of rising, breakfast. prayers and giving orders and have her household in running order, with the whole day's work arranged, by half past 8. Tlimi she is ready to sit down to her desk. Mrs. Terliune is the wife of a Brooklyn clergyman. She is a tall woman, of dignified presence, strong face and gracious manners.

Another Hrooklvn writer who does not need to leave her pretty home to attend to her pen work is Mrs. Olive Tiiorne Miiler. She has 11 specialty, and a unique one—descriptions of birds and their habits. Some of her books are "Bird Ways" and "I11 Nesting Time." It is not necessary for Mrs. Miller to go out into woi«ls and fields and country byways to observe the pets of which she writes. It was very well for Thoreau to live in the woods, and Mr. John Hurroughs may and does find it convenient to lurk about slyly to surprise the shv inhabitants of tree ami nest, but Mrs. Miller, being a woman—and moreover a woman with a family—could not do that, so she wisely contrived to bring the birds indoors.

She has a room fitted up exclusively for her icts, and never were birds better cared for, according to all accounts. Here she can observe and train and experiment. Tho results of her observations are jotted down in blank books, of which there is one for each bird, inscribed with its name. Her articles on this subject are seen in all the leading magazine*, though she does not confine herself to her specialty.

She has recently been engaged on a series of papers called "The Daughter at Home." She Is well fitted to write on such a subject, for she has brought up daughters of her own. A total stranger would susjiect it, for Mrs. Miller has a very motherly air, and her pleasant face and kindly smile would indicate that she is an ideal mother.

Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge is dear to the hearts of all children lecause of her popular books, "Uans Brinker" and "Donald and Dorothy," and by her work as editor of St. Nicholas, not to speak of her lovelv P"ems for young and old. She is a living proof of the efiicacy of her formula for successful literary work. She says: rhe only way to succeed as a writer is to produce good literature.'' She is one of the busiest women imaginable, for almost countless manuscripts fall to her share to be examined, and that is not all of an editor's work bv any means. Mrs. Dodge is a somewhat stout woman, of middle age, with a still young fact and a cordial manner.

Miss Lilian Whiting, of The Boston Traveller, has been called somewhere "the most popular newspaper correspondent who dates her letters

from

Bos

ton." Now. Boston is full of bright newspaper women, whoso ideas fairly make the columns of their respective papers sparkle, so this statement may not still be true. Be that as it may, Miss Whiting is a deserved favorite. She has for some years had charge of the literary department of The Traveller, and is especially liked by its readers because of lier work in tliat department. She is the author of many beautiful poems, and is a hard worker, remaining closely at her desk in The Traveller office Miss Whiting is so kindly disposed toward her fellow workers—whether their rank as writers be high or low—that she lias many friends, as her receptions at tho hotel where she lives abundantly testify.

Mrs. Sal lie Joy White is another well known Boston writer, who does nowspaper and magazine work. A year or two ago there was an article in Wido Awake which told of an amusing incident, when the writer, clerk in a public library, had unwittingly given a copy of "Little Women" (just out) to Miss Alcott, and when the latter refused it with assumed disgust, liad indignantly defended tho book, only to learn later that she had been scolding the author. The little tale was attractively told and was signed "Sallie Joy White." I pictured her as a young woman with the -usual vague features we are prone to give to unseen personages. and always thereafter read anything of hers with great interest. Recently I had ar. opportunity of meeting tho "unknown," and found that sho was a middle aged woman, of good height, with a figure inclined to plumpness, a strong, searching look, a brisk air and a clear, ringing voice.

She has been for twenty years in newspaper work and other writing, and has been oonnected with three Boston papers —The Post, The Advertiser, and, lastly, The Herald, 011 whoso staff she now LS. Mrs. White has dark hair and eyes and looks on the world through a pair of eyeglasses. HI10 is enthusiastic in anything she undertakes, and this enthusiasm shows itself in ovorv motion. She talks easily, rapidly and to the point, and has comforted, encouraged and helped many aspirants in the field of pen and ink.
