FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.

In fashionable households, instead of the parents sending ont announcements of the latest family addition, the new-comer announces himself or herself by a tiny visiting-card, the date of the birth and the address following the name. Here are a few rales for debntantes: Never show temper, however much you feel it. Never be late in keeping In engagement. Never resent a seeming slight, but smile and bear it. Never confide anything to another debutante. Never betray your feelings in public or your preference for a member of the male sex anywhere. The woman-suffragists are greatly pleased with some utterances made by President-elect Harrison recently in regard to the woman movement, and they are predicting the new administration will encourage the appointment of women in the departments, postoffices, and to other places now held almost exclusively by men. Mrs. Harrison herself favors the pecuniary independence of her sex quite as much as she does temperance, women’s suffrage and other reforms. It may be that the reign of Lucy will vet be much outdone.
