An oped nopro upon whoso bent form tho wpiijlit of at least eighty years was rostinp turn oil his halting steps into ono of Chicago's jewelry palaces tho other day, and. pausing just inside, adjusted his spectacles, and, leaning on his rune, leisurely surveyed tho surrounding mnn-111fii'onc.. After viewing the jrrcat show-cases wi1.1 their glittering contents, the mighty mirrors, marblo furnishings, etc., he slowly approached a gentleman at one of the cases and said: "Sarvont. sail, is dis yora clock sto'?" "Yes. Do you want to buy a clock?" "No. sail, no, sah I doan want ter buy 1 on'y drapped in ter see 'bout g-it-lin' my ole clock tlxed up. Hit's ono l's had mos' thutty yars. an' hit's git'n so's dar hain't 110 use tryin' ter 'pend on hit no longn. I s'poso yer doos r'pairin' wuck heah, sah?" "Oh yes. liring your clock in and wo will put it I11 running order for you." "Thanky sah, thanky kindly.

I inns' bo git'n 'long home, but I'll bring dat olo clock hi 'bout nex' week, Buah."

Turning with a parting glance at tho profusion of splendid and valuable articles in the store, tho old man gavo nn exclamatiun of wonder, then moved along muttering: "Ko' de I.awd! dese olo eyes neva ylt seed sich a pow'ful heap o' fine thongs ns dey is in dis yer sto". Iloo-weo! dis yer too much linery fo' do olo man. 'Spec'l's a leetle out'n my clemen' in dis gran' place yes, 'deed I is.

The old man kept 011 down the store, but there were so many large mirrors on every hand, in which the flitting forms of tho passing throng were reflected, that he became confused, and it was with apparent uncertainty that ho limped along toward the rear end of the

"WELL, FO" DE LAN* SAKE!"

store, against which was reared a huge mirror extending to the floor and having tho appearance of a doorway. Against this ho brought up with such force as almost to overturn him. Drawing back a few steps, he readjusted his hat and spectacles, and with a puzzled air scrutinized the glass until he discovered his own reflection, when his astonishment found vont in these words: "Well, fo' do lan' sake! ef dis chile hain't all mixed up ever' which way, den dey hain't no uso talkin'! Now I done knows l's out'n tuy elemen'. Yes, 'deed, I is, an' when 1 gits out of dis yer place, I hain't cornin' in no mo'.

WOMEN REFORMERS AND PH1LANTHROP1STS OF FRANCE.

Theodore Stanton Writes Entertainingly of Maria Dorainmcii, Mmo. Emtio do Stonier,

IKH1XUO

MMK. MAltlA DERAISMES.

PATtls, April In this letter I propose giving your readers some little account of a few of the cliiof women reformers and philanthropists of Franco, a numerous and noble body who will bear comparison with tlie radical mid charitable women of even the United States, where these two classes abound.

Perhaps tho most interesting, and certainly one of the ablest,"of the French female reformers is Maria Deraismes. She is an excellent and witty speaker and endowed with much oratorical power. Tall, with a large, commanding figure, a fine expressive face and a strong voice, Maria Deraismes "thinks on lier feet" in a manner surpassed by few men. I have heard her at banquet tables, 111 public halls, 011 the lecture platform and in drawing rooms, and on every occasion she has proved herself to be a ready, eloquent and charming speaker.

But Maria Deraismes is not simply an orator. She is a clever writer, on energetic journalist, an enthusiastic Mason and a painter. The walls of her handsome apartments, where she lives with a widow sister who adores her, Mm Feresse-Deraismes, are adorned with portraits and landscapes in oil, painted in her early womanhood and youth. More than oue newspaper contains trenchant articles from her pen, and she has prosided over an excellent journal as editor-in-chief. She is perhaps the only female Mason in France, being a member of the

KM ILK DF. JIOHSIF.R.

lodge Of Le Pecq, the little town near Paris where the latest Rembrandt was recently found.

Tlie next ablest female orator, if not the equal of Maria Deraismes, is Mme. Einile de Morsier, Swiss by birth, who speaks English with great ea.se and who is in corres[)oiideuce with imr.ny leading female reformers both in rtio United States and England. Ono of her best friends is M. Yves Ghiyot, minister of public works, a man of broad news on all subjects, who, since he has been in office, has aided Mme. de Mc -sier in many ways in her efforts to advance her various reform enterprises.

Last summer there were two internv tional women's congresses held in this city, one with Mme. Maria Deraismes as the prime mover, and the other with Mme. de Morsier at the head. Through the good offices of M. Yves Guyot, Mme. do Morsier's congress was token under government patronage, and, for tho first time probably in the history of the world, a groat government gave an official stamp to a congress devoted exclusively to the interests of women. Mme. de Morsier was very proud of this result, and with good reason, for it mado an impression here and hns already done much good.

After Mine, de Morsier, the most active member of this congress was Mine. Isabelle Bogelot, tho intelligent and

MME. ISABELLE BOGELOT.

philanthropic lady who represented France at -the international woman's congrea* held in Washington in 1888. Mmo. Bogelot devotes her energies especially to tho amelioration of the condition of female prisoners, and is the president of an important society whose aim Is to aid women discharged from the

Mine. Bogelot returned from tho United States delighted with all she saw and astouished at tlvi way in which American women manage their own affairs, conduct meetings and perform so many other duties supposed hore in Franco to be the exclusive privilege of mm Many of tho admirable features of last summer's congress wero suggested' by what Mme. Bogolot saw at Washington, and she never wearies in singing the praises of American women to her French sisters.

Stiitfti dalierhtod with all H1I« saw imrl I

Among the in.i:iy penco reformers should be mentioned Mine. CJriess-Traut, an Alsatian by birth, who lias known personally many of the radical English women and who reads English with ierfect ease and can speak it with considerable facility. Sho is a subscriber to several of tho English and American women's journals and keeps her French co-workers informed of what steps of progress are being made in tho AngloSaxon world. Mine. Griess-Trmit is a delightful old lady who keeps actively to tlio fore in nil that concerns her BOX. Her husband, who died a few years ago, seconded all his wife's efforts and worked hand in hand with her in all their reform labors, llis death was a grievous loss to her, but has not lessened hor ardor in the various movements in which they were both so deeply interested.

Another indefatigable reformer is Mme. Louise Koppe, editor of a little monthly culled La Femmo et l'Enfant, Her chief efforts are directed towards extending the rights of married women and protecting children from cruel parents, and in improving the laws concerning boys and girls in the mines and factories and in guarding girls from tho pitfalls which surround them.

Mmo. Paulino Kergoinard has doue much good work in this department of philanthropy. Sho is the founder, and was for long timo tho soul of an admirable society for the protection of children. Mmo. Kergomard is related to tho famous Ueclus family, and h.-us much influence in official circles, from tho fact that she is a member—tlie only woman, in fact—of tlio Superior Council of Public Instruction, a body much resembling the New York State Board of Regents. Her election to this council was a great victory for the advocates of woman's progress, and Mme. Kergomard has shown herself an able and useful member of this important educational body, which counts among its members some of the most celebrated savants of France.

WOMAN'S WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS.

Which Tell More Fllw to the Other, Husbands or Wives? Some gentlemen had a discussion at their club the other night about the wliito lies it is necessary for a husband to tell his wife. All agreed that such lies were necessary to make the domestic wheels run smoothly. Women, they said, could never bo made to see things from a man's standpoint. Little flutters that were nothing at all to a man became crimes in tlie eyes of a woman therefore it was necessary for a man to lie to his wife occasionally. This set me to wondering wliich lied to the other more, husbands or wives. Looking at the matter from behind the scenes on our side, 1 should say it was about even. I believe wives tell their husbands quite •is many falsehoods as husbands tell them, but altout far different things. Women deceive their husbands mostly in money matters or in things which concern their family affections. If a wife is held to a strict account for the money she spends, when she wants more than a certain sum she tells the bread winner it is for groceries or a dressmaking bill. Then she takes it and makes a present to her dear mother, whom the husband hates, or pays a gambling debt for her brother, or gives it to hor grown son or daughter to si»eud in extravagance which tho father does not approve. Sometimes sho spends it for the church or her pastor. But she always gets the money somehow, and if she is afraid of her husband it goes down to expense accounts, which appear wholly open and innocent. A wife always deceives her husband where she is afraid of him. Yes, the falsehoods are about oven on both sides. But is it not rather unfortunate that those who are supposed to be all in all to each other dare not trusf each other?

At a meeting of the London trades union councils in London in April a woman was present as a delegate for the first time in the history of tho organization. The lady was lire. Hicks, representing a ropemaker's union.

Airs. Juliet V. Strauss is a promising and talented young woman on the editorial staff of The Roekville (Ind.) Tribune. Sho swings a vigorous pen and speaks her mind about things. Writing about how election day looks to a woman, she remarks: "If a woman could only dispense with her politics and take a perfectly impartial view of candidates and elections, she would get so much more good out of them than by taking sides and allowing herself to get riled up over results. Tho actions of men on such occasions aro enough to make a cow laugh, and tho woman who does not at least smile at them is devoid of a proper sense of humor."

I don't know what it proves, or whether It proves anything, but dentists say that women endure pain with far more pluck than men display. Men howl aloud with the pain the dentist inflicts, while women endure it with silent suffering.

Belva Lockwood has a law practice that brings hor in moro money than a congressman's salary has property In Washington worth |30,000, and a country place worth $5,000, all acquired in a comparatively short time from her legal business. This is moro than she would have had if she had stuck to school teaching.

{Copyrights 1S1X), by American Prosa Association.] It is far moro comfortable to do jtoker pictures 011 nn easel steadily fixetl and a maul stick than 011 a table, for the fumes of the burning wood or leather will be found, sometimes, to bfi very painful to tho eyes.

After tho outlines are sketched and tlie

—7

LEATHER PORTFOLIO WITH BUKNED IN DESIGN. lights and shadows settled, the irons should bo placed in a good cinder fire when they aro red hot they are taken out and all the darkest parts burned in, the lighter shading being worked as the I irons cool. The drawing should be stumped in as in a clialk head, and lines avoided as much as possible, or a spotty effect is produced.

If a head, size 14 by 12 inches, is being done if will take about two hours to roughly shade it in after that the details, such :is the eyebrows, nostrils and mouth, may be worked in by sharp touches with the smaller irons. Now the background must burned in with tho poker ar.il an appropriate tool, working toward tlie outline until :c stands out in full relief. Tlrs is a tedious process and takes several hours before it looks a dark brown oven color, which is only obtained by rubbing tiie poker constantly over tho inequalities.

Tlio artist must have patience and not be easily discouraged, even though the picture looks a confused mass for the first few hours, which it is sure to do, until tho high lights are scratched on with a penknife, when a good effect is at once produced.

Tho penknife is quite as important a factor as the iron by it any irregularities of outline are corrected and the high lights and gradations of tone obtained. It will also be found invaluable for working hair and fur. It must be clearly borne in mind that this work is a rough art, and looks best when so treated consequently tho panels should not be placed too near the eye.

A very effective frieze may be made for a library by using a series of portraits of prominent literary men of the day, burned in on sycamore panels and varnished. For a smoking room grotesque figures may be burned in, while chambers or dining rooms, in fact, any room may be made individual by appropriately decorating with one's favorite motto, legend or quotation, 011 panels, spaces above the windows, above a bookcase or door, wherever there is room for the lettering. Tliis form of decoration is far simpler than the pictures, and the novice will do well to attempt this first. A variety is obtained by the shading and size and kind of lettering.

The portfolio for stationery is made of stiff brown leather and tied with thongs of lighter leather tho leaves of blotting paper aro also tied in with thongs of the

LEATHER BLOTTING PAD WITH BURNED IN DESIGN. same. Tlie design and quotation, "A letter may alter the plans wo arranged overnight for the slaughter of time," are burned in after the directions given. The blotter which goes with it is done in the same way. Tlie leather is not susceptible to tho same amount of work 11s the wood, and it would be well to experiment a little before beginning a large piece.

In decorating a room which requires a quantity of bordering or a repetition of geometrical or other designs tho work may bo greatly facilitated by the use of stencil platos cut in zinc these should be nailed to the wood and the hot poker run over tlie openings. Great care must be exercised to keep the poker within tho linee not to melt the zinc.

Around pieco, piano stool or top of a table might be pokered with a zigzag border round tho edge, burning the ground dark from the outside to the zigzags and filling the center with some radiating pattern.

A strip bearing an invocation to sleep might be pokered and hung above one's bed. Indeed tho worker who attains any proficiency whatever in tho art will find an endless variety of uses to which it may be dedicated.

LAURA B. STARR.

Tho Federation of Women's Clubs at its formal organization in Now York decided that any club having for its object literary, artistic or scientific culture might become a member of tho sisterhood of societies. At the same time the "broadly human inovomonts" may be recognized. Organizations with purely educational, industrial or philanthropic aims will bo not admitted. I11 adopting their constitution and conducting their sessions of several days tho Federation of Women's Clubs showed a knowledge of parliamentary usage that would have done credit to any assembly. The womon's club has been a wonderful educator of women.

There's a corset that isn't a corset, a waist with straps for the shoulders and rows of buttons to button on skirts and stocking supporters and so forth—the Ball Waist —and that's about the whole of it. No you can put it in the washtub—no metal in it or on it.

It is worth your seeing, if for nothing but how to sew on buttons-to button easy and never come off, and how to make buttonholes wear forever.

Women differ in their ways of thinking and dressing as we'li as in other ways. This waist is for women whose minds are made up that they won't wear corsets.

There's much to be said on both sides but did you ever heaf of a woman who hadn't made lip her mind in some way? and is there any possible use in trying to get her to change it? She will and she will or she won't and she won't.

You can get the Ball Waist and wear it a week or two or three and, if you don't want it, take it back to the store and get your money.
