WOMAN MD HOME.

AN INVENTION TO BENEFIT THOSE WHO ATTEND THE PLAY.

Women Engaged In Literary Work—Lady Umbi of the Law—Slippers for Pretty Feet—The Foibles of the Females—Suggestion* to the Home Makers.

It will not bo a very long time now before •filleted theatre goer» of both sexes will have good cause to thank Mr. Henry Pincus, of Philadelphia. In the City of Brotherly Lore, especially, do the 'Women deli ht to wear Jarge bonnets at the theatre. Mr. Pincus has heard the murmurings of his brethren who, from time to time, bare vainly endeavored to obtain a glimpse of the opera with a bat of the period directly in the range of their vision. Finally, one night after he had experienced the vexatious hardship of cran ing bis neck to catch an initial glance of a popular play in Ponn'n town, he there and then resolved to cudgcl his brains until ho devised some means to remedy the evil. When he made this reeolvo be was sev «ral moons younger than ho is today, and in the vigor of his determination ho soon ac compiished his purpose. Mr. Pincus' idea was to create something suitable to hold a woman's hat. Ho has succeeded admirably. Wot only is his invention adapted to hold women's bats, but it makes an excellent repository for wraps and coats and for men's hats.

The attachment is adjusted to an ordinary theatro chair. It opens and shuts on the somo plan as the scat, and is open only when the seat is open. The space between the seat and the bottom of the hat rack is about twelve inches, with a spaco double in width. At the rear of the cabinet is a protection against the feet of the person directly behind. In the wire holder now in use there is no shield whatever for a hat, as many a man knows who has had his tile ruined by the Intimacy which his near neighbor's boots have established with his hat A particu larly desirable featuro of the invention is hat if one forgete to remove bis or her hat before tilting back the seat, tho cabinet will not close and crush the article in it, but under tho slighest pressure will remain extended.

Manager J. M. Hill of the Union Square theatro has a great belief in the contrivance —in fact, ho became so strongly converted to Its usefulness that he purchased the invention and had it patented. He intends to employ it exclusively for a time in the Union Squaro thoatro. "It has long been customary in tho old country," said Mr. Hill, "for women to remove their bats in the theatres, and especially co first nights, and I don't see why it can't be made a practice on this side of the water whon every inducement is offered. And, as far as looks go, I think the custom will bo very much liked it would give a more settled appearance to tho house it would bo more homelike and cheerful. In this cabinet contrivance a society belle can place her delicately constructed hat or bonnet and listen to the play unmindful of the former's welfare. "If she has a wrap that's at all in the way, she can place that also in the cabinet, and "when the play is over the itrticlcs are bandy and in good condition. It does away with tho delays and fretful experience at tho cloak room, and can't but be appreciated when its I tmorita aro onco known to tho theatro goin_ jmblic. Of course it wouldn't bo proper to demand the Women to remoro their hats, but

J,.''"'til bo requested to do so, and I rather

1 no

^aey'll take kindly to it. They thorn KfHncm how perplexing it is to have their wnfefr of vision obstructed by a hat, even if it

Js worn by a woman, and they'll appreciate the utility of this invention."—Now York Sun.

Women Writers.

Tho succcss of women as authors is too well known to need a detailed comment. Just now thoy aro receiving considerably moro money from publishers than men. It is said thoy produce more than one-half of nil tho books written. And their work is not con fined to Action and poetry. Mra Martha J. Lamb is tho author of a history of New York •which is standard book of reference, aud other women have produced scientific and philosophical works. Perhaps tho singlo book which has brought a woman tho most mouey In the chortest titno is Miss Leslie's cookery book, which netted $12,000 for its author.

Tho Incursions made by women into the editorial fleld havo not been many, but thev have attracted a groat deal of attention. Two of New York city's eminent editors are Mrs. Martha J. Lamb and Miss Jeanetto Gilder. A dozen moro women editors could bo easily counted up. In Now Orleans ono of tho leading editors is Mrs. Nicholson, editor-in-chief of Tho Picayuno, of which sho is also business manager. Sho is not a "fancy journal ist." She has worked in all tho departments of a nowspaper, from the composing room, and "knows tho ropes" as thoroughly &s her masculine contemporaries. Thero are said to be SJ00 women editors in the United States. This does not include tho number of editors' wives, who edit both their husbands and their husbands' papers. Women reporters, correspondonto, etc., aro coming to rival the men in numlter. No well regulated newspaper nowadays is without women on Ita

staff. Timo was whon men wrote tho fashion find household articles, men especially selected for their blank ignoranco on those subjects, but those fellows liave long ago fallen beneath the iron foot of advancing woman Every newspaper reader can rocaii the names of dosens of women whoso names appear at tho end of light articles on fashiou and other subjects. And woman, not satisfied with what would appear to bo her natural

place in journalism, has been branching off into tho very strongholds of man. Sho has been writing political matter,

fln.mH.il

articles, and even news concerning livo stock. The cattlo reporter of ono of New York's leading morning {tapers is a woman whose mind is very much larger than her bustle. In fact, somo assert that she wears no bustle at all There is not a person ill New York who knows moro about horses and cattlo than she docs. Women earn moro money in journalism *hnr in any other occupation they havo Invaded. Tho biggest pay yet given to any woman was reoeivoi by Fanny Fern, who got a column for her work. Two-thirds of the magnsino article* aro said to be written by women. '—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Women as Lawyers.

Yes, why not women lawyers as well as women doctor*, preachers, writers or lecturers! Is it because they have shown their ability to stand on a level, even here, with tho "lords of creation," that their way is disputed, htoeked—that they are persuaded not to tenter the law and contest the field Not. sard- f*reu«K the law Is immoral There nonol profession for is it not foutxkd in naX&re and revealed by God himself, as the St al and immutable law of good and cvilt 8uiJy woman, with her fino sensibility and quick perception, is as capable of unravcung Its mysteries as tier br oer.

strength than study can ever be, and which man can oever realize—that are more wearing, soul destroying and nerve breaking— which she bears without a murmur, and looks out [upon the world with unflinching eyes, bearing her burdens alone.

It is not assumed that all women are capable of understanding law neither can all men. It is not j&sutned that women can bear exposure, that they can go here, there and everywhere in pursuit of clients as their brothers may but so far as the study and ultimate practice, with this one exception, are concerned, they should stand on an equal footing.

The field for tho employment of women is gradually widening. They are no longer bound down to one occupation. But, large as is the field, they must enter what has heretofore been men's domain alone—the law —and cross swords with them in life's great battle.—Etta Whitney in Detroit News.

Woman's Ways.

Three women tripped more or less lightly into a Tenth street car going up town yesterday.

As they sank into their seats two of the women' struggled desperately to open their pocket books, and when neither succeeded in getting her purse open, each grasped the other's arm and exclaimed: "Don't, dear 111 pay."

The small woman between them says nothing, and the cross eyed conductor awaits further developments before going in to collect fares. Tho comedy goes on. "I've got the change right here," sayB the woman on the right. "So have I," says the woman on the left.

The small woman between the contestants still says nothing, and at this juncture the conductor approaches to discharge his more or less disagreeable duty. 'Don't you dare to pay the fares," says the woman an the right, clutching at the woman on the left, 'And dont you," responds the woman on the left, grasping the woman on the right.

The woman between them still says nothing, but as the conductor anchors before the trio, pays the fares—and still says nothing, while the woman on the right and the woman on the left express much indignation.

That's oilers the way wid thim women," says the conductor as he takes up his position on the back platform.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Slippers They Wear.

The girl who dances for dancing's sake wears a pair of thin, elegantly finished, patent leather low shoes, with decently low heels and lacing up the instep with ribbons. The beauty who loves the dance well, but her own charms more, wears bronzo silk stockings embroidered with gold beads and low ooze calf slippers with embroidered toes and high, killingly high, gilded heels. Tho pompadour damsel wears Louis Quinzo low shoes with immenso silver or paste bucklea An Anglomanioc wears tiny pumps with monogram and crest on her black sillc stockings. Tho country cousin wears white satin slippers, which make her feot appear of Chicago size. A girl in a pale yellow silk empire gown wears blue silk stockings and black high heeled slippers, with rows of narrow gilt braid or tinsel marshaling themselves across tho toe. A girl in black lace, relieved by scarlet ribbons, wears scarlet silk stockings and scarlet high heelod shoes with toes braided in black. She wears coral beads, black gloves and carries a fan of scarlet coques' plumes, A debutante in white tulle wears tan leather slippers fastening on the instop with small silver buckles. A dame in gorgeous whito satin brocade wears satin slippers embroidered in the colors of the gown. Many women many feet nowadays. —New York Mail and Express.

Coreu's Queen.

The queecn of Corea is by no means a figurehead. Sho belongs to one of tho greatest families in the country, and it is an open secret that she has at times her voico in tho councils of tho king. She is ono year older than tho king and is said to be a very bright woman. Sho has an establishment of her own insido tbeso palace grounds, and the king, tho crown prince and the queen have each their separate households. The queen is never seen by men, but sho has several htm drod court ladies about her, and there aro a number of eunuchs among the regu larly appointod officers of tho court Tho queen dresses, of course, in Coroan costume. Sho wears fine silks and sho has beautiful diamonds. She carries a chatelaino watch, which is diamond studded, and she smokes American cigarettes by tho thousand. All Corean women smoke, and tho majority of them smoko pipes. The country is, in fact, a land of smokers, and tho boys and men are seldom seen without pipes in their mouths. The king of Corea has but ono queen, and he has only ono lawful wife. His score and a half of concubines, which ho supports, aro kept, I am told, in another part of tho city. The queen is the only woman who rules in the palace, and sho has a court of her own.—Frank G. Carpenter.

One In a Hundred.

It was not because ho was liandsomo that 1 fell in lovo with him—for tho little fellow was not handsome, as the phrase goes—but he had clear honest eyes that looked friendly into yours, and a mouth that smiled cordially if shyly, as my friend touched his plump little hand which rested on tho back of the car seat. Ho was with his mother. She was plainly clad, as was he. Sho had a thoughtful face, perhaps a little sad. I fancied she was alone in the world that her husband might be dead and this littio boy her Kile treasure. Ho had a protesting air, as if he were her only champion and defender. But ho could not havo been more than wars old.

Wo arrived at our station and left tho «u\ Wo waited for tho long train to pass. As the car in which our littio friend was seated came up ho was at the window. IIo caught sight of us and with tho instinct of established courteous habit his hand went to hL enp and the cap was lifted. A bright cmilo on tho beamy face and be was goon.

It is not a comment on tho manners of nincty-nino boys that this littio f»-yc=r-t.id fellow is tho "ono in a hundred" that wa remember.—Wido Awake.

Women's Disadvantages.

living in a college towuend having opportunity to observe both young man and young women. I can honestly "say that the sacrifices hero made by young women for the sake of knowledge are greater, their opportunities of aid far lest than those of young men. It has been repeatedly scid by the very able head of the university that the only way to keep down the rent of rooms is to have college dormitories, sinco the open competition in tho community woukl not reduce them sufficiently For this purpose a new dormitory, larger than any now existing, is soon to be erectcd.

All this for the thousand young men but for tho hundred young women no such pror* is made, and they must still obtain th rooms by that open competition which found insufficient for economy in case at their tx Jt\ .la, there Is for jov.: men a or —junon tabla, whero U-j expense is not expected to exceed $4.50 per week, whereas theirs is for women nothing of the kind. In both these respects, therefore, the cxptrwws of a young girl studying at Cambrkige are almost inevitably greaser than

1

those of a young man, and it can hardly be claimed that her other personal expenses are less than his. In point of dress her outlay most inevitably be greater.—Harper's Bazar.

SaA Room Etiquette.

•'Delmonica" writes: "This is my first season out, and I see that many of my partners wish to get rid of me after dancing, and yet they feel afraid to leave me alone. I fear I spoil their evenings. Nothing is so uncomfortable to a girl as to see that a man is talking to her and secretly hoping that some one will come along and relieve him. Sometimes, too, I desire tho society of somebody else as much as he does."

Wo should not have supposed the pretty debutante of this season bad any such trial as this. Could she not say: "Do not stand talking to me, I beg of you. I do not mind being alone, I assure you," or there is the universal remedy of the seat and the chaperon, rhis lady ought tq, help Delmonica out of her lifficulty.

If men could get oVer their fear of being "cornered" at a ball they would be more Agreeable. Still less should a young mim be too officious at a ball, or annoy a lady by iticking too closely to her. If he does, sho has a right to facilitate his departure by looking a little distrait and allowing him to see by her manner that he is taking up too much at her time. But this is one of those delicate lhades which must be left to an artist like Delmonica to put in for himself.—M. E. W. Sherwood in St. Louis Republic.

In Love with His Wife.

There is a certain bureau officer In the treasury who is accused of being in love with his wife, and all the women and men in the department are talking about it. Every morning, except when the weather is very bad,

Bhe'walks

down to the department with

him, and they part at the door like young lovers, although they have been married ten years. Then, at 12:30, as regularly as the clock, she makes her appearance with a little lunch basket in her hand, and sits beside him while he eats a couple of sandwiches and apiece of pie, both made by her own handa. If he has any time left after eating his luncheon they take a short walk through the White House grounds, or down Fifteenth street south of the treasury. Then, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when business hours are over, she is always at the door to meet him, and thoy tako a walk together, arm in arm, before they go homo. This couple are childless, and the women of the department say the reason of their devotion is that they have no one else to lavish their affections on. —Chicago Ileral-.l.

The flomelessnrss of the Ar.jnican Girl. A groat want, says Charlott-j Stewart, is tho want of an ideal of homo life in the American girl's existence. If there is home life in America—and of course there is, and must bo—we hear very littio about it in American novels and tho American girl, as sho Is depicted, is as littio under its influence and control as any one could pos&ibly bo. Hor life is without tho solid foundation of homo pursuits and home cares. She never falls back upon homo life, as tho girl of European training can do, and does, when social enjoyment fails hor. Our average flnglfoh girl, once she tears herself away from London, falls back into the routine of home life with perfect ease, and often with real pleasure. Sho has innumerable occupations and resources, apart from social life. They may be trivial, but at least they occupy her mind and make hor contented and happy. This, apparently, the American lacks duties and responsibilities form no part of hor youthful education.—English Paper.

He'Had Shaved a Woman.

"Did you ever shave a womanf I asked my barber, as I sat in his chair yesterday. "Many a time," said he, and he went on to toll me of his experience in that lino of business. "There are ladies in town who havo quite a mustache, and others who have something like a chin beard, and I have operated on both kinds. I shaved the upper lip of a lady yesterday afternoon to prepare her to go to a party. Sho keeps down tho growth of hair by clipping it, but she wanted to look extra fine on this occasion. Somo of them who aro troubled as sho is pull out the hairs, a few at a time, till they got rid of the wholo growth, and thero is now an electrical way of removing them without pain from any part of tho face, but I know of ladies who get barbers to shave them at times and others jwho can shavo themselves just like men. I tell you, there aro moro kinds of folks in this barbarous world than some people know of."—Louisville Post.

When She Will Bo Burled.

Her grandmother was very ill. She was a girl of tho future. Sho had all those budding signs ol^ aplomb and elan and esprit and chic and verrvo, and all thoeo qualities in American girls which wo havo to go to the French dictionary to describe. Sho was very young, of courso. She wont be so smart when sho grows up. Her grandmother was so sick that tho report got out sho was dead. A sympathetic old gentleman met tho child on tho stroct. "And when is your grandmother to be buried, my dear?" he asked her, "Not till she's dead, sir."—San Francisco Chronicle.

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR!

THINGS 1HAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW.

Novelties In Walking Boots, Shoes for the House and for Foil Dress Toilets—Bid Ins Boots, Driving Boots and Bedroom

Slippers.

The English women have ever enjoyed the reputation of wearing practical, common sense boots and shoes. Of late years our own women have to some extent followed the example of their English cousins in the matter of boots for tho promenade. This improvement has been brought about in part by the present fad for everything that is Tgnglish, and in part by the condition of the American women's feet. With a view to encouraging common sense in the matter of footwear we hero give a few items concerning the boots and shoes made this season for Knglish women Walking boots made to order for the young Princesses of Wales and designed for rough country wear are high, buttoning up almost to the knee, of black leather, with an inner lining of waterproof tweed between the leather and kid lining. The soles are about half an inch thick.

NEW STYLES IN 8HOBS.

For driving boots for elderly ladies there is a particularly warm, comfortable kind of soft French kid, lined with white fur, fastening up the front, and with scarcely any heel at all. Also another kind, composed of cloth, with a kid galosh, lined with flannel, trimmed round the top and down the front with narrow black Astrakan, and closing up with four good sized buttons and elastic loops. Most of the ordinary walking boots are in kid, with a deep galosh and straight toe cap, in the form of an ornamental band, carried across. Nearly all the smarter boots and shoes have the pointed toe, which still retains its popularity. Ladies' Wellington riding boots are made both in tan leather and in black patent leather.

The newest shoes are cut low on the instep, and have only two eyelet holes through which ribbon, matching the color of the kid or leather, passes and ties in a good sized bow. In the cut aro shown styles popular in New York and in London.

Fig. 1 shows a glace kid shoe with patent leather frontr. and steel ornaments. This is an extremely neat and pretty shoe it can be worn either for dress or ordinary house wear.

Fig. 2 represents a stylish and favorite shoe. The high instep flap is ornamented with a bow of ribbon, which adds to tho comfort of the wearer by keeping tho foot perfectly firm in the shoe. It is mode in glace or bronzo kid, and can be had to order in any colored leather.

Fig. 3 is a general favorite. It is neat in appearance, and fits comfortably to tho foot. The open work front of trellis design, with its enrichment of beads, gives it a very smart appearance, and the effoct altogether is very good. It is to be had in bronzo or glaco kid, also in silk or satin to match costumes, or of the tints at present fashionable.

Fig. 4 is a peculiarly comfortable shoo and shows off tho foot to the best advantage. Bedroom slippers aro made in suede kid, in pale tan, brown and mouse gray shades, with satin lining of the samo color, and, with embroidery of silk and small beads up the toe cap, aro most fashionable for wearing in the evening or with afternoon tea gowns. Black kid, lined with crimson, and with an ornamentation in the style of a wido arrow head of large cut garnet beads, and also small ones up the too cap, aro also popular, and so are black satin ones with a small pasto buckle. Buckles or studs are moro worn than bows, except on tho Cromwell shoes, with their high cut fronts and large bows of ribbon—copies of thoso worn in tho days of the Commonwealth.

Jewelry for Men.

According to Elsie Bee, in Jewelers' Circular, New York's "best dressers" no longer show tho slightest timidity in wearing jewelry. His royal highness the Prince of Wales gave his approval to a revival of personal adornments for the sterner sex somo timo ago, and thereby set at rest all doubt on the subject.

Scarf pins, perhaps, lead in favof, and, in this connection it may bo mentioned that scarf pins have grown a trifle larger to harmonize with the larger scarfs now worn with business suits. A single largo pearl, mounted so as to show no setting, represents a very fashionable scarf pin. Pearls are also associated with diamond or other stones in fanciful shapes for scarf pins. Numbered with fanciful scarf pins are those in horseshoe or crescent shape, studded with small colored stones.

Watch fobs, which jewelers havo been attempting to reintroduce to public favor the last two years, are now frequently seen with evening suits. Watch chains for men are rather moro massive this year than last, and there is a decided inclination to tho wearing of seals, lockets or other charms.

JsTG MATT.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

A Pretty Frame for a Simple Nickel Clock A Dainty Bit of Fancy Work. It is quite common nowadays to see in almost every house a small nickel plated clock, sometimes with an alarm attachment, son. times without. They are not very pretty, but have the merit of being within tho reach of people of moderate means, and Decoratoi and Furnisher tells that by the following device they can be rendered quite ornamental and attractive.

First a frame is necessary. An old cigaf box which is largo enough for the clock to set in, is just tho thing. Take off tho lid, and in the center of the bottom of tho box cut out a circular piece a trifle smaller than the face of the clock. Cover the sides and the bottom of the box with plush, or with any other material which may suit one's fancy or convenience, making allowance for the edges being tacked on the inside of tho box.

Now, with a pair of sharp pointed scissors, sut tho cloth to correspond with the circle in tho box, a half an inch smaller than the cirruinference of tho circle, in which mako incisions so that the cloth can bo turned in jver the edge smoothly. No glue is nocesJary. a few of the smallest gimp tacks is all that will bo required to fasten firmly the sdges of tho cloth. Place tho box on one of its sides, set the clock inside, and you have a rery unique and tasteful framo for a plain md simple clock. On the top of tho frame, tf so desired, can be placed some small ornament as a finish.

IJttle Helps.

Tho following are among little helps in good housekeeping: If the cover is removed from soap dishes tho soap will not get soft

Silver can be kept bright for months by being placed in an air tight case with a good sized piece of camphor.

Use squares of dull colored felt, pinked at tho edges, under statuary or any heavy ornaments that are liable to mar a polished surface.

Mahogany and cherry furniture often gets dull for want of a good cleaning with a moist cloth. Polish with tho hand, rubbing well, and the result will be surprising.

Windows can be cleaned in winter and the frost entirely removed by using a gill of alcohol to a pint of hot water. Clean quiokly and rub dry with a warm chamois 6kin.

Artlstio Designs for Initials. On various articles of fancy work, such as dainty little satin sachets for perfume, sachets for lace, handkerchief cases, glovo sachets or cases, plush covered jewel caskets and work baskets, as well as baga and baskets for

bonbons or knickknacks of any kind, and for ornamental book covers in plush or satin, thero is hardly a moro effectivo ornament than a handsome initial well painted or embroidered.

Tho rustic branches that form tho central idea of tho design can bo made to lend themselves as gracefully to tho curves of S, C, R, and other initials in which "tho line of boauty" is prominent, as to tho angular characters of tho alphabet, such as A and M. These designs aro especially attractive for delicate work in water colors.

Ornamental Frosting: on Cakes. In order to do ornamental frosting such as confectioncra put on cakes one needs a frosting bag and tubes or frosting pointa The bag is of very thin rubber sheeting and shaped like a cone or funnel. At tho end of tho funnel is a small hole. Tho tubo or point is put insido the bag and pressed firmly into nml through this little aperture. Then tho bag is partly fillod with frosting, which is squeezed through tho point on to tho cake. Somo points are simply round tubes, others havo teeth that cause tho frosting to assume tho form of leave®, crinkled lines and other devices. A supply of point* of various shapes can be procured at any houso furnishing store, and one can make three of the rubber bags out of a quarter of a yard of sheeting. After the necessary practice one can ice cakes very nicely.

Cabbage with Apples.

Cabbage with apples may not tempt everybody, but though the dish bo homely the recipe emanates from such eminent culinary authority as ML Blot Boil a head of cabbege about ten minutes then drain it. Put a large tableepoonful of butter in a saucepan over the fire, and, when it is melted, put in the cabbage, with four or five tart apples {peeled, cored and quartered}, also a trifle of sugar and salt, and a half pint of water. Boil tho wb"l» gently till tho cabbage and apples are tei:l r, and serve hot.

Consumption Curable.

It cannot be too often impressed every one that the much dreaded coi sumption (which is only lung scrofula is curable, if attended to at once, an that the primary symptoms, so often mistaken as signs of diseased lungs, are only symptoms of an unhealthy liver. To this organ the system is indebted for pure blood, and to pure blood the lungs are indebted no less than to pure air for healthy action. If the former is polluted, we have the hacking cougb, the hectic flush, night-sweats, and a whole train of .symptoms resembling consumption. Rouse the liver to healthy action by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, take healthy exercise, live in the open air, and all symptoms of consumption will disappear. For weak lungs, splitting of blood, shortness of breath, chronic nasal catarrh, bronchitis, asthma severe coughs, and kindred affections, it is a most wonderful remedy. The
