Wow ritten for the 8undiy Sentinel. Women As Philanthropists. It is a common thing to have man corns to the door, begging ernploymsnt and telling pitiful stories about the distress of their families. But to see women, thinly clad, wandering over the city in raid-winter begging for bread is terrible. While calling on a friend a few days since, a woman came to the door, whose distress it would be impossible to describe. Her clothing hung about her in tatters; her head wa3 partially protected from the cold wind by a thin veil A little girl standing by her side held one cf her glovele?s hands, and her right arm supported a little child of about two years. Hunger, cold, sicknees and despair were stamped upon the woman's haggard face. 'Kind lady," she said gently, ''would you not give us something to eat; we are to hungry and eo tired and " "Come in, com in," interrupted my frlerd. '.'Oh don't mind th9 carpets," she continued, seeing the woman hesitate. "Ibe were made to walk upon. This is a pretty cold day," she said cheerfully, as she ushered them up to the fire, "how lng have you been out?" 'Since morning," returned tha woman eadly. "fcirce rooming," we echoed in chorus, "and has r.o onegivea oaan thing yet?" "Oh, no," returned the woman with a feeble attempt to fmila, "tha doorj have been closed in onr faces." My friend waited to hear no more, but hastened into her dining room and returned soon with a bundle cf provisions. "Where do you live?'' tho asked. The wonun named ths ctreet and number. "Well, here Is enough for your supper and breakfast," continued my friend, depositing the package in the woman's basket. "There is tea in there. Have you any wood?" Tbe eves of the woman grew bright, and tbe color came into her faded cheeks, ai ehe replied, "Oh, yes, I have enough to do until tc-morrow." "Wo are going down town presently," sa'.d my generous-hearted friend, nodding her teaa in my direction, "and we will po to the township trustee and have them send vou a lead cf wocd." Tbe woman looked the thanks that words wculd not express, and th little girl c'.aiped her Laud with delight as she exclaimed, "Oa ma, isn't she pcodV" We went to the trnttee, who promiitd tu send the fuel the following day. A few days later I met my friend on the street. "I have been to see my woman," she raid pally. "She received the wocd and a hey from ono of the benevolent societies has been there and supplied hr with provisions, so tfcey are quite comfortable. I am 30 glad we went after the wood that day, for wa have mf de them happv." It would be difficult to tell, thou-ht I, who is the happier, you or thess distressed ones you have so kindly aided. It is impos sible for any one in moderate circimidmces to assist tbe many suffering oie they sea daily. Bntwben weary, exhausted i'-et wander t a home of com ton, and tbe minresi standj.between the starving without and p'eoty within; when el e will not ic:ralt them to warm their coM numb limbs by h?r bright Cresida. or give them a caortol o 1 od, alUnugh sie knows hor hfed g'rl witaj enouch to i'jed them every diy if tint wouan baä any mied, she can not always cloe btr door to comc.er.es as ehe doei to those dtatreted tczgars. Conscience will not be barred out; if refused ailmlttancs it bursts or en tie dcor and wa'ks in. You may try to txcuss yourself ; ya mat say: "Perhaps ttey are only ccting." To be turo they may be only acticg, bnt more likely they are starving. And hat if they ac only acting, yon po to tbe theater week atcer week and iftentfmcs weep at the sore trials of the etsgo he:o'.nc3, when you kno v they are acting. Ileal tree womanly women ara de?ply imbued with the "milk ot human kindaee3." They are thankful in their sympathy and see quickly. Their f mit is their Impulsiveness. If a sympathetic woacaa sosi a sickly child suffering, her ti st impulse is to kiss it. A man might bo equally touched with compassion, but the thought of kissing it would never occur to him. But that is her weakness, and if a fault may be called a ,cocd fault, for itslnws the klndnc S3 of her heart, and the tenderness of her tature. Women ara tho foundation of charity organization. Tbeyftex out thi wretched poor of the cilies and rce that their wants aie attended to. They do not go a w.ty and fo'.tt all beut it. The old Jock on the fact cf little children, the fccllow;i"ds of tre mcll.ers eyes bannts a woaa until sba fe?l she bos coi:e all in her powt-r to aid thsrn, and tten she is at peace with herlf, f jr si.e has dene her duty. While tbinkirir of the great things that are being cccompliibed by women philanthropists, I can not close my eyes to the many good deeds done by the Sisters, thoso sainted women whote liyes are soeut iu relieving suffering; who have eacrifice i all worldly pleasures and live only for sufferlog humanity and their God. The Little Sisters of the Poor care for the aced poor who are friendless. The Sisters of Charity nurse the sick and soothe the last hours of the dying. The Sisters of the Hou:e of the Good Shepherd give homes to those unfortunate women npen whom the world frowns: they teach them different kinds of empbymeut by which they can maintain themselves honorab;y, and they whisper words ot encouragement into ears thst have hitherto only heard reproaches, saying in their gentle way, "there is yet hope for you, for you have been more sinned against that sinning." Mis:;ie TcnrEN. Women at tbe World's Imposition. Extract from a sermon preached by liev. A. D. Mavo at New Orleans on March 1, lSvi upon the tbatne "Education and the Exposi tion.'' If I am rightly informed, the New Orleans Exposition has invited ti;e co-operation of wonen as never before. Of conrss woman's wcik can net be shown in one Section of this gnat encampment of indus'.rv. Woman's werk is, first and foremost, the men that made this Exposition; the hoDes in which they crew np; the society which shapes them; the euhtle and irresistible influences which they throw around the noble spacimens of our pex. True. thre !s an Ignoble womanhood that glores in its shame, ltd sel fishness, its craft, its poor schemes, forgetting its own way with man by playing on the lower register or his nature. This Exposition has no word for the woman who decries univereal education, who only sighs for money and ease end social fame.caring nothing fcr the means by which it is won, contemptuous or hateful to all who minister to her glory. It calls the nobledt, mo3t practical, cultivated, consecrated women to New Orleans to proclaim to their sisters everywhere the privilege and duty of women in the new republic. I epeak not now of any extreme theory of civic equality of woman and man. As a man, lam happy to rei'er that question to the women of the United States. What the womanhood the purest, mo3t practical, respectable, consecrated womanhood of our country finally declares essential for the supreme functions cf the motherhood and the training of the race through its most impressible years, for the fashioning of American scclety, for the divine side of the CLiurch, icr the purification of the body and the exaltaticn of tbe soul, I am confident we shall finally give her a great deal more eagerly than we now spend our bottom dollar to bay her a Worth's new gown for the Mardi Gras ball. So I wait the command, not ot the few who believe they voice the good time coming, but of the confessedly leading class, as to what she does need in additional oppcrtnnity, and I. as one man, don't propose tola? behind in helping her come into her

But here w see her point tbe youns wo-; rranhced of tha new South espec-.ally the; way it should to; the way it is goine, spite' of a good many excellent people who fear it win go the wrong way. J he fact Is apparent to me, gentiemen ol tbe South, that while you were up North, measuring bullets and bayonets with us, twenty fiye yesrs ago, your women down beie were drilling for the grander campaign, in which we are all marshalled this day. Never In modern times have the women of a great country been so completely left In charce cf the most prec;oas interests of life as durirg the four years of our con flict in the Sonth, From 1SG0 to 1SC5, the. Southern wemen got the inside track, ad.l gentlemen, she will never take the onttiUo track again. IMind the foremost young women cf tbo fifteen Southern States 1 have1 visited leadiijg tbe came way. Certainly I find here the same class of selfish, narrow. silly, hopeless women that I s?o in the West and tbe East, But as I jude a man more by tbe ebape of his head than the slzi cf his foot, 1 estimate the young womanhood cf the' South by its front rank, and no country on earth has moro reason to be proud of it? suTerioryouDg wemen than thess Southern States, Now, gentlemen, these girls ask you for better education and trained skill to help themselves in woman's work.

Sometimes folds of velvet in which gilt or silver braid is tied along the edges trim the front of the waist ana the skirt Pointed revers of velvet or of gros grain or moire will be arranged in various ways cn cashmere and on Bengalme silks. The single revers all on one side of the corsage front is newer tnan that placed on each side, and promises to be used especially when the oppesite side is richly braided. For slight figures it is a good plan to make a very narrow nd fiat vest of velvet or silk with a standing collar to match, and outside of the veet ada a shirred ecarf cf the wool of the dress ' aist. Sometimes this fullness is made cf the front part of the waist itself pushed back on the lining. The cut-away basques will also be made again sloping bacc toward the sides from the top of the first dart.
