Collar and revera with th* drooping points are much- worn with the end of tba winter shirt waiats. Cloth of gold is being uned abundantly In spite of It* price and the prediction that it will soon be laid aside. Many of the new foulards are cut with a circular skirt fitting the hips plainly with Inverted plaits at the center of the back. If one tone of blue does not suit the complexion another will and if the shopper looks long enough she Is sure to find tho right shade. To trim a simple irown, take a very deep atrip of lace and let It He around the anoulders of a pown, giving the broad-shouldered effect. Gray suede slippers worn with gray silk hose are very smart, while for the ball room there are gilt slippers and black satin embroidered with gold. Heavy black silk braid is much used for skirt trimming. The pattern Is the same as the old style Hercules braid, and is put on In bands usually of varying widths. The straw hats being shown at a few of the shops are of rather coarse straw or simply plaited braids, but of a supple description, so that the milliner may easily modify their forma according to her fancy. A millinery gem that has been popular this winter Is of white felt and satin braid in the form of two undulating flats. Between these is a circlet of gold braid that is twisted at the left side into a wide Lcuts XV bow. Costly fabrics, as a rule, are gifted with longevity. Gold braid, gold lace, gold galoons and other lesser trifles in tinsel are followed by such cheap Imitations, that they are willingly relinquished by women with fastidious ideas.

NEW HOUSEHOLD IDEAS.

I,ow seats running partly around a room, or following a curve In wall or at window, are being frequently Introduced In private houses and apartments. Omelets, poached eggs on toast and the like, be they ever so daintily served, pnll on the taste after a time, and the wise housekeeper forestalls this event by providing a variety. Gold or silver ornaments may be thoroughly cleaned by dipping them for a few seconds In a solution of ammonia. Lampblack rubbed on canton flannel is also an excellent polisher. French breadmakers assert that water Is preferable to milk in bread-mixing, because It gives a fine, firm crust. A little mashed potato added to the bread sponge will make the bread whiter and keep it moist longer. To make Scotch shortbread. Place half a pound of fresh butter In a dish and stand It sufficiently near the fire for the butter to get soft without being oily, then work it well with a wooden spoon. Put one pound of sifted flour between sheets of kitchen paper and let It remain on the rack or near the fire until quite warm; then add a quarter of a pound granulated sugar to it and arrange It in a heap on the pastry board; make a well in the center of the flour and pour the butter into it, and with the hands mix the Ingredients quickly and thoroughly together. Divide the mixture into portions, according to the size of cakes desired, and shape each with the hands Into a flat, round cake of about half an inch In thickness. Make a design with a thin piece of cltroji and comffts and bake In a moderately hot oven for about twenty-five or thirty minutes. While one cake Is being made, the remaining portions of the mixture should be kept warm by being placed near the fire.

Likely to Lead to Compulsory Service in the Army—Volunteers

Defended.

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Tho London correspondent of the Tribune, writing of England's scheme of military reorganiza-

tion, says.

The new scheme of military organization may be roughly described as the half-way house to conscription. It involves the development of the existing system of voluntary enlistment and auxiliary services under conditions which preclude reasonable expectation of success. When the experiment has been tried and the results are found unsatisfactory, the way will be opened for compulsory service. The War Office will then be in a position to assert that everything was done under the voluntary system to provide an adequate army for the defense of the empire, but that men were not forthcoming and that an elaborate paper scheme proved a failure. Tbe only alternative, from the official and military point of view, will be compulsory service. The military experts who have been contending for years that conscription was inevitable and that the empire could not be defended without It, unit* In pronouncing Mr. Brodrick’s speech a masterly performance. Mr. Brodrick himself spoke like an official who was condemned for political reasons to make bricks without straw and had little confidence in the voluntary system. The reorganized army will consist of three army corps of regulars, with headquarters at Aldershot, Salisbury Plain and Dublin, and three army corps of auxiliary forces at Colchester, York and Scotland, with sixty battalions of militia and volunteers, a considerable body of imperial yeomanry and twenty-one volunteer field artillery batteries. Each corps will have its own staff, transport* and stores, and be virtually self-adminis-trative. There will be no great increase of regulars, although from thirteen to eighteen battalions will be gained by the withdrawal of the Mediterranean and colonial garrisons and by the transfer of Indian troops to tropical posts and placing coaling stations under the control of tbe navy; but 60,000 will be added to the militia, the yeomanry will be recruited to 86,000. and In one way or another over 126,000 fresh troops will be brought under training In this district. All these changes are made In order to keep three army corps In readiness for foreign service In an emergency, yet to leave three army corps behind to provide home defense; and whether the troops are dispatched abroad or held In reserve, every corps will have Its own organization, cavalry, artillery and transport, and be systematically trained for modern warfare. The scheme looks effective on paper; the chief political difficulty is promptly suggested by French, German and Austrian critics. How can the men

be obtained?

A Political Debt. The scheme of reorganization Involves the liquidation of a political debt When the Salisbury government dissolved Parliament last autumn it pledged itself to reorganize the army, and consequently some project which looked Impressive cn paper had to be brought forward after the elections. When that pledge was made the government Itself was open to criticism for having underestimated the fighting resources of the Boers, and it wts convenient for ministers to lay stress on weak points of the military system and the necessity for a complete revision of methods. The ministers In redeeming their promise Indict the patriotism of the nation, the loyalty of the colonies and the efficiency of the voluntary system. Their scheme of reorganization is virtually a confession that everything went wrong In South Africa; that the army was unequal to its work, and the voluntary system broke down. That Indictment is not well founded. The ministers miscalculated the lesourcea of the Boers; either Lord Lanadowne or Lord Wolseiey sent one army corps to do the work of elx; Infantry undertook the Impossible task of fighting mobile mounted forces; the generals were amateur! 4h In such battles as Nicholson’s nek and Colenso, and reckless at Stormburg and Magersfontetn; the officers lacked flexibility and quickness of mind; the staff work was bad. and the medical and transport services were defective. Aldershot has not come out well, nor has Pall Mall nor Downing street; but the soldiers never flinched in their duty and the army as a whole endured the strain of a terrlole campaign with splendid staying power. The results In South Africa have been highly creditable to the rank and file and have tully vindicated the efficiency of tne auxiliary forces under voluntary enlistment. Pall Mall made some woeful miscalculations, and the officers In the field were not always up to their work; but In order to retrieve these blunders It was not necessary to call in question the discipline of the volunteer army and the patriotism of the nation by the present plan of reorganisation, which stimulates the spread of mtlitarism in a peaceloving coir.try and leaves as the basis of imperial defei se a specious paper scheme enmeshed with red tape, without the soldiers in plain sight A $10,000 Monument Proposed. DALEVIIXE, Ind., March The late Thomas Neely requested that his body be buried in tbe Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, between the graves of his wife and mother, the exact location of which was soarraiy known. It was found with difficulty. Miss Hester A. Neeley; a daughter, of Muncle, will erect a >10,000 monument. Mr. Neeley was alxty-elght years old and a victim of paralysis. Tbe Stranger Men tilled.

Beason as a Guide. [Th* Lancat.] I say we can not expect Instinct to be a trustworthy guide unless the environment Is a simple one and has been stable for several successive generations. It is clear that neither of these conditions obtains in th# case of man, especially civilized man. His environment is infinitely more complex than was that of his primitive ancestors, and it has moreover varied, and continues to .vary, very considerably from generation to generation —It has become, 1. e., unstable and pari passu with, and as an inevitable result of, ibis Increase In the complexity and Instability of the environment, instinct has become less and less adequate as a guide, and reason more and more essential Hence, with the evolution of reason there has been a concomitant dissolution of Instinct, until, when we arrive at civilized man, we find tbe one guide all but superseded by the other. Now this places man at a disadvantage as compared with the brutes, since the guidance of reason Is not by any means so trustworthy as that of the Instinct which It has replaced. It Is needless here to enter into a psychological exposition of the defects of reason as a guide for man. To do this with any sort of fullness and completeness would be to write a book on human error. But what does concern us, and that most Intimately, is that under the working of this new arrangement, as we may call it, man Is continually going wrong In matters psychological, and It is most difficult to set him right. Do not we physicians see him persistently sinning against <he laws of health. and that with a temerity that would be utterly amazing did we not know that beneath the temerity there lies a still more astonishing ignorance of all the laws of his being. It Is often a task of much difficulty to enforce the most elementary principles of hygiene even among the educated classes; among the uneducated It ia well-nigh Impossible. A Duchess’s Nursery. [Chicago Tima*-Herald.] The Duchess of Fife is one of the roost quiet and retiring of all the King of England's daughters She takes the greatest Interest in the bringing up of her little daughters. Some years since society was very much disturbed by the case of a little child of high birth, who was accidentally found to be covered with bruises Inflicted by a brutal nurse. The Duchess of Fife said to a lady who was visiting her: “No nurse would be able to systematically bruise my children’s bodies, for not many days go by that I do not bathe them myself." The lady misunderstood and remarked: “Do you trouble to stay, in^ the nursery to

Ten Centuries of Toilette. [New York Evening Po»t.] The Woman's Research Club, of Atlantic City, gave a unique entertainment recently, under the auspices of the literary department. It was called “Ten Centuries of Toilette,” and was a series of tableaux illustrating a talk on the fashions of the world during the past thousand years, taking Paris as the radiating center of vogue. It was arranged by a member of tbe club from a book, the title of which was the designation of tbe entertainment. Each period was illustrated by a club member In a typical costume, also copied from the book Illustrations. The Research Club Is extremely progressive and active. It Is also very plucky, as Its consideration of a plan to Invite the General Federation to Atlantic City for tbe biennial meeting of 1902 indicates. Jewish Women in Council. [New York Evening Post.) The reports at the national council of Jewish women, which has been in session at New Orleans, show marked activity in the sections of that large and flourishing organization. The council is an cutgrowth of the World’s Congress of Religion? at Chicago. Its objects are, primarily. to increase knowledge and understanding of Jewish history, and to encourage spirituality In Jewish life, its secondary work being philanthropic.and to some extent sociological. Reports from the sections throughout the West and South showed successful effort In operating Sunday-schools, establishing Jewish libraries and mission schools, opening sewing and cooking schools, as well as in the conduct of study classes in its special work. Some of the papers read at the congress were on the topics: “The Home Influence of Judaism.” “Philanthrophy.” “The Higher Education of Women as Fostered by the Council," “How to Popularize the Study of the Bible,” “The Use and Abuse of Organization In Charity” and “The Home and the Council.” Family Journals. [New York Evening Post.] Persons who have had to examine and dispose of the letters and diaries of deceased relatives, will almost invariably recall some startling disclosure which they have hastened to destroy. Especially is this true of the cherished papers of very old people. Seventy-five does not recall what she wrote In the first year of her marriage; the grandmother with her oldest boy's Uttl# son upon her knees, and pointing out with pride how much he looks like hie father, forgets that In her old secretary there lies a history of that father’s wild youth and boyish In-

discretion.

From a carefully, . unselfish written f krornal of personal and family Hfe, unlimited enjoyment and pleasure may be derived, but It should be written with distinct forethought of those who come after, and kept free from all the passionate, or bitter, or fervid revelations which j naturally seek free expression in a so-

.. .

called “private diary.” The key which hangs upon the watch chain does not guard its secrets, when accident or death leave nothing hidden from those eyes which are appointed to make straight and plain all we have left be-

hind.

There arises a complaint that records so guarded do not make true histories. Let nothing be misstated, nothing tampered with, nothing misrepresented, but let the pen be governed by the rules which restrain the tongue. The mother would rather never speak again than reveal her boy's dissipation and the result of his disregard of her grief—why should she carefully write out what last night’s wild recklessness cost her? The wife who says to the world, "My husband and I must retrench because business has not been prosperous,” will often enter in her dairy: “Tom's Judgment Is all gone. How comfortable we might now be If It were not for his craze for speculation and his selfish love of horses and the turf.” Is her life less true because she goes into the sad contraction of her home expenses without aspersion of her husband or disclosure of her anger? A Servant Girls’ Trust [Chicago Inter-Ocean.] A servant girls’ trust has been formed in Monett, Mo., and no first-class maids .can now be secured without the cohsent and recommendation of the union. The rules that every club member pledges herself to stand by are as follows: L No restriction Is to be placed on the number of callers that a girl Is allowed to entertain. She must be permitted to regulate her visiting list as the mistress regulates hers. 2. Every evening out, at the maid’s pleasure, after 7:30. 2. No answering of the bell on wash days where there Is only one servant in the house. 4. Every Sunday afternoon out. Wages—Not less than 82.25 a week, with board and room. Whenever one of the members of the club loses her employment, or, as la more likely, determines to change her place of working, a meeting of the club Is called. Her grievances are laid before the body, and a vote is taken. If she is sustained unanimously, the whole machinerv of the club Is set to work to find her a new position. The vote, however, must be unanimous. If there la a single vote against her, and she quits her position, she does so at her own risk. The club makes no effort to get work for her. One reason for the growth of the club lies In the fact that positions are found for new members as toon as they join the club. When a servant girl finds herself out of work her first move is to Join the Housemaids’ Club. The girls themselves take pride In keeping up the standard. NEW MODES FOR THE MEN. One of Them is a Cutaway Coat from London. [New York Sun.] None of the new fashions for men Is more striking than the style of cutaway or morning coat which London tailors are now sending to this country. It Is not a pretty garment, as men’s dress goes, and no mem would ever take to it because of Its Intrinsic attractiveness, or because he was likely to look well In It, a* to any but very thin men Its peculiarities are trying. Instead of the pointed tails, rather short, which have been the distinguishing mark of the English morning coat for the last two or three years, it has tails so broad and full that they nearly meet in front and deserve as much as the tails of a frock coat the right to be described as skirts. Those coats are made in tweeds and mixed cloths and show the same tendency toward the very broad shoulders that has been characteristic of London styles for the last two years. They have only recently come Into use for town wear, although for riding they were popular a year ago. It Is not likely that they will be widily Imitated at cheap prices. Men’s shirts will show this spring a marked change from the gaudy stnpes that have prevailed for several years. Tbe revulsion against this style has been so decided that stripes threaten to disappear altogether, even In their most modest form. Polka dots and other small designs on a white ground are the newest patterns. The demand for the two styles is now just about equal and tbe stripes in the less Inflamed colors hold their own for chirts made with stiff bosoms as well as ttese described as outing shirts. They are still made with the broad plaits In front and with the newer patterns the plaits are so arranged as to show In the intervening spaces no signs of the pat-

tern.

The high turned-over collars are still Vfom with them, and are Indeed the most popular style for all but full dress, although the haberdashers believe that this form of collar, which has already held Us own for nearly ten years. Is likely to disappear before very long. Just what will take Its plane they have not yet decided. Cne interesting sign in men’s fashions Is the cheap prices at which one can now buy the neckties made first to be worn with these collars. They are never more than an inch broad and lit snugly under the folding collar. Practically nothing else has been worn this year by men eager to take up the newest variation In the fashion. They are to be had now in the shops that make It a rule to get rid quickly Of undesirable stock at from onethird to one-half of their former value. They have not yet been shown In any of the summer materials, and It is probable that the common four-in-hand,which bolds Its own at every period, will soon return again to full favor. The man who wears a handsome tie of this kind or one cf the broad scarfs tied In a way to show a single fall of silk is well dressed under all circumstances. The tendency to avoid eccentricity shows Itself in the narrower ties which ere no longer butterfly In shape, but vary no more than half an Inch in width at the middle and tbe ends.

FARM LABOR LIGHTENED

MRS. VIRGINIA MEREDITH WILL LECTURE ON ECONOMICS. Oakland Farm, in Wayne County, is an Ideal Home, Solely by Her Own Effort.

*

[Special to Th* Indlanapolla News.] HAGERSTOWN, Ind., March 25.-Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith, preceptress of the girls’ school In th# agricultural college of the Minnesota State University, will deliver a series of lectures In Boston and other Eastern cities on the subject of “Home Economics." The course In Boston will begin In April, and will be delivered before various clubs and social organizations of that city. The plan of Mrs. Meredith’s lectures does not comprehend, alone, the Instruction of women In the questions of household economics, but men also are included In their scope, and their duties are found to be quite as Important, If not so numerous, In the making and maintenance of a home as are those of women. Mrs. Meredith Is distinctively the friend of farm women, and her lectures embrace questions of paramount Interest to every woman whose life is associated with agricultural Interests. The pursuits of the women of the farm, her labor, her pleasures and her accomplishments, are discussed in an original and effective manner. Mrs. Meredith is not so much an expositor as she is a teacher. She has found ways and means of lightening the burdens of farm women, and knows how to extract the amenities from daily duties. Mrs. Meredith is herself a practical woman of the farm. More than any other woman living, perhaps, she has broadened th# field of woman's usefulness in a direction not usually taken by any but men. Oakland farm, her home in Wayne county, Is an Ideal spot where her theories have long been under demonstration, to the profit of herself and thousands of others. Early In lif# she displayed a taste for the farm, and manifested a remarkable grasp of the business pertaining to the farm. Upon the death of her husband. In 1882, her earlyacquired Information enabled her to continue the work of the Oakland farm, which had a wide reputation for the Meredith breed of shorthorn cattle. Many women have farmed, but Mrs. Meredith may be considered the pioneer in the highest type of farming, as pertaining directly to women. She is deeply Interested In every movement that tends to enlarge the opportunities of women. She Is especially active In club work, and for several years she was president of the Indiana Union of Literary Clubs. She was & member of th# Board of Women Managers of the Chicago Exposition, and while connected with that board came Into national prominence. She appeared before a committee of tbe Senate and House of Representative# and secured a liberal appropriation for the women’s work of tbe fair. She secured the appointment of women on tbe international board of Judges; secured the passing of a resolution by Congress authorizing the bestowal of a diploma of honorable mention upon inventors, designers and expert artisans who had assisted In the production of any exhibit that received an award. This was tbe first recognition ever given by any government to labor. The educational and social condition of farmers has engaged Mrs. Meredith’s attention for many years. In order to broaden the field of her opportunities to reach and assist her fellow women on the farm. Mrs. Meredith accepted an Invitation from the board of regents of the Minnesota State University to organise a department for young women In connection with the School of Agriculture. She successfully inaugurated the department, and was regularly appointed preceptress. The success which has followed the starting of this school Is far beyond the anticipation of its originators. The methods and plans of the school are unique. No other school In the country has undertaken Just such a work, and it has attracted the attention of educators all over this country and Europe. After one month’s absence In the East. Mrs. Meredith will return to Oakland Farm to spend her vacation and manage

the planting and gathering of the crops. She has a herdsman in charge of her flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, but the active management of the farm she attends to herself.
