A Press reporter talked with a physician of excellent standing about the matter, but was able to extract from his opinions small oomfort for lean women and faint hope for their progress in avoirdupois. "Doctor, can a lean woman make herself plump by paying proper attention to her diet and her mode of livingf" "It may be possible sometimes for a thin woman to add something to her weight, but there are many women who could not be made stout, or even plump, by any treatment whatever. "They are too nervously constituted. It is really more a matter of nerves than it is of diet. If a woman wants to put on flesh she must first get her nervous system into a perfectly sound and healthy state. Even after that she may not find it possible to add to her weight if she is by nature highly nervous." "Supposing her nerves do not stand in the way and are in a proper condition, what thenf" "She must have plenty of fresh air to give her a normal appetite and make her relish her food. Puro air is just as necessary as good food. Well intentioned people make an ado once in awhile about the pies and pickles that school girls and shop girls and other women who are much confined indoors are given to lunching on. But it is of no use. Their vitiated tastes are the result of vitiated air. Give thorn good ventilation and they will have normal appetites. Thoy will crave bread and butter instead of pickles and cakes. "And if women want to grow plump they must breathe pure air and plenty of it as a prerequisite to a good, healthy appetite. Then they must have outdoor exercise to tone up their systems, give them good digestions and keep all their organs in fine condition. The exercise must be such as will invigorate rather than tire." "And after all this, what about their diet? Doesn't their food have an important effect upon their weight?" "Each woman will have to suit her diet to her own particular case. Temperaments vary so much that it is impossible to lay down an unvarying rule. What would increase the weight of ono woman might not have the slightest effect upon another. A diet that is varied, palatable and nutritious Is the best." "But, doctor, are there not certain lines of food, such as bread, potatoes, rice and other starchy articles, that are most apt to produce flesh F' "Oh, possibly thero are people who can be fattened, just as hogs are, by being shut up and fed on one kind of food. Yes, I suppose there are women who would put on flesh if tbey were to eat plentifully of the kind of food you mentioned and sit laxity about the houao without taking oxcrcise. But such a course would mako most women either bilious or dyspeptic, and there are precious fow. whom it wouldn't mako stupid. The kind of flesh that Is put on in that way, though, is not healthy flesh, and no sensible woman would wish to have it For it means simply that a port of the natural process has been stopped, that a good portion of the food, instead of going on to mako good rich blood, sound muscles and healthy nerves, has stopped on its way and been turned into fat That is why delicate, anaemic women frequently look stout. Their apparent flesh, which is only fat, is really disease."—New York Press.

Woman's Scant Opportunities. When wo consider that, out of the 1,877, W2 pupils in tho schools of British India in 1877-8 less than 100,000 were girls, we have a fact which makes it seem as if this planet, taken as a whole, was still intellectually uninhabitable for women. Then we must toko farther into view that In the presidency of Bombay tho prim books distributed to deMr ving girls in the government aided schools have such passages as the following: "If the husband of a vlrtuouii woman be ugly, of good or bad disposition, diseased, fiendish, iraacihl®, a drunkard, old, stupid, dumb,blind, deaf, hot tampered, poor, extremely covet OUR, a slanderer, cowardly, perfidious and immoral, nevertheless die ought to worship him as god with mind, speech and person. The wife who gives an angry answer to her husband will become a village pariah dog: the will also become a femaks jackal, and li?t In an uninhabited dcwrL The woman who speaks disrespectfully to her husband will be dumb in the next inosroatkm. The woman who bates ber husband's relations will become from birth to birth a mnskrat living in ordure and filth."

We must remember that the marriages for which this code is provided are mostly child marriage*, made withoot the consent of the bride we must remember that these prise fox** are distributed virtually at the expense of the British government—and bow vast is tbe abrss of Tgnorajooe and degradation In which those things show women as plunged! But that abyw comprises the greater part of the human raea, and the teeming millions of China, Africa and Oceaaica would show nothing much better.

The-moral is that auv intellectual opportunitfos given to woman, even in the meet enlightened countries, are but exceptional •ndwceotthings.

At least QUO woman in this city irbo is lean and would bo fat is trying the starch treatment. She knows a woman wt fell a v'-"'m tooneof those craze* of tbe pr:•» that t-/ine-times afflict otherwise sane people, and who almost lived on starch for two or three months. She ate a pound a day, and carried it always with her, munching it on tbe sly if she thought jjenrple were not looking. Daring her morbid freak cushions of adipose tissue spread themselves over her anatomy, and rounded out her formerly angular figure in way that excited the envy of all her thin friends. 80 this young woman, being very tall and very thin, is heroically doing her best to live cm starch. But tbo nauseating stuff has aroused in her Inner economy so violent a repulsion that she is about to give up the attempt in despair. She has been trying it for three weeks, and has not yet gained a pound.

tems And series of worlds are made to people space by the operation of the divine hand. Yet, as God himself works through established law, so I believe love the divinest loses its divinity when it is divorced from that OPT,BP. of duty and obligation which God has made equally with love the foundation of the human home.

It is the home in its fullness and perfection which meets the needs of tbe human soul, not the isolated and, in the end, debasing joys of a passion which centers in itself. A great deal is said of late about the evils of marrying for a home, but so little faith have I in a love that is not linked with duty, so abiding a sense of security in God's holy law and ordinances that, given a daughter of marriageable age, I would sooner that she should marry a man of probity and good abilities, who had a proper respect for woman's worth, if they both undertook in good faith the task of founding a home that should be tho abode of purity and peace, even though neither of them was the subject of a "supreme and impassioned love," than that she should marry for love without such dutiful accord, or take the chances of any, even a gifted, single woman, in the open labor market of the world.—Caroline P. Cor bin.

The Difference.

Since the sun rose in Eden on that first, perfect being, our much maligned grandmother Eve, woman has been a mystery to fn an Every adjective, with variations, has been employed to extol and condemn her. History bears out the inconsistency of her nature and literature is built on her moods. Governments have been made and remade by her glances, and kings and princes have sacrificed thrones and honors for her caprices. There is no mystery about a man no changing, varying lights and shades. He is not a spectrum of vivid rainbow hugs nor a kaleidoscope of bewildering combinations* He is a pin in simple sort of an animal, one man differing from another, yet each taking color from but one predominant trait.

In the animal kingdom man is a specialist. iEe is recognized as an obstinate, or cunning, or ambitious, as an indolent, or^energetic, or a penurious, or generous man. A woman is all these and more. A man is an instrument of one string. Learn to play upon that and you own that particular music box. A woman is a harp of a thousand strings, and while the master hand may draw forth harmony that beats the music of the spheres, the amateur can develop a discordant crash of sound that swallows peace and hope, desire of life, and faith in love at one tremendous gulp. A shrewd, tactful, industrious woman, after one week's opportunity for practice, can find the particular chord which moves the particular man But men spend whole lives and go down to unsatisfactory graves never having learned to play correctly a solitary bar on that rare instrument, woman.—Washington Post

The True Woman,

From an artistic point of view there is a great diversity of opinion as to what constitutes even physical perfection in women. No two great masterpieces of sculpture or painting agree on tho outlines, much lees on tho linos of beauty. Poets aro given to exalting their women above the angels. This is rank nonsense. Some of the old masters kept themselves down to facts.

Homer's women were strong, vigorous and modest Tho Greek dramatists all gave their women distinct, well marked individuality.

Chaucer, who dwelt with people as he found them, gives us in the "Prioress" a womanly woman. She is composed of flesh and blood, and as gentle as she is strong, refined and earnest

Shakespeare gives us the greatest variety of women, no two being alike. Ophelia, Juliet and Imogen, Lady Macbeth, Constance and Cleopatra, Portia, Beatrice and Rosalind, all as distinct as day and night, yet each perfect in her way, even, in, her imperfections. 1

Whilo he paints his characters in strong colors he is the champion of gentleness, tenderness and modesty. To him the true woman was something more than a doll, a plaything, an ornament. He gives all of his women missions in life, and shows how it is possible for all, no matter what their rank and station, to so live and so act that the world will be the better for their having lived.— Pittsburg Gazette.

An Energetic Saleswoman.

I heard a story about a pretty little widow the other day which contains a hint to young women who are suddenly thrown upon their own resources. This little woman lost her husband, and in the course of time it became necessary to do something to support herself. After trying a good many places she was given a position in a State street dry goods store, with the handkerchief counter as her department The first day she was there a gentleman came along and stopped at her counter to look at the goods. She felt that she ought to sell him something, so she went at it energetically, and, though the man tried in every way to elude her persuasiveness, he couldn't do it, and was Anally forced to buy half a doaen handkerchiefs. When die got her salary at the end of tbe week she found a substantial increase over the figure at which she had been engaged. She asked the cashier tho reason why. "Because of a sale you made the first day you came. If you remember, you sold half a docen handkerchiefs to a gentleman after making along talk." "Yos, I remember," she said. "That was Mr. Pardridga He tbocght your salary ought to be raised."

This was a good while ago. The lady is happily married again. You may be sure that a girl who oon sell goods to tho proprietor of the store will not be any too kng In getting a husband, and a good one, too.—Chicago Mail.

Women In India.

In India lady doctors are now common, and although at first they may have been somewhat ridiculed by those who could not appreciate their value, they are fast making their presence fait for good in almost every corner of the land. 80 far as tho native women of India are concerned, it is gratifying to note that their success tn all branches of college education is progressing to the entire satisfaction of their professors. Not only have they proved themselves to be generally well fitted for the arduous duties attendant on medical studies, but they have In cases succeeded beyood all ordinary tiou. Bombay, Madras, the northwest provinces and the Punjaub all return flattering reports on the subject and when we learn that a daw of female stodents out average over 700 marks oot of 1,000 In a surgical examination, as we bear has recently been the case, little can be said against tbeir power of •till or aptitode for gaining knowledge 4n one of tbe most important branches of the medical profession.—Once a Week.

It need scarely be added tfrnt the speaker was the Princess Alice of Hesse) evidently delighted to have been able to even for one short afternoon from the wearying and petty observances which beset her life even at the little grand ducal court of Hesse-Darmstadt.—Temple Bar.

Noiseless Slippers.

Tfcr»e are intended for the use of those who are nursing or watching the sick, but they will be found to give great comfort to any one who has tired or lame feet

Rip the soles from a pair of old slippers, jr-nrvh- the heels off, and cover the soles on both sides with thick woolen cloth. Excellent material for this, as well as for the uppers, may be found in the skirts of old coats. With the old slippers for a guide, cut a paper pattern of the uppers or, better still, have a pattern of the right size cut for you by a shoemaker. The pattern will be in two pieces, the vamp and the quarter.

Cut two cloth pieces by the vamp pattern and four by the quarter pattern, taking care to have two of the latter right side out and two wrong side out From dark silesia cut linings to all these pieces. Close and press the seams of the cloth pieces, then those of the linings then baste the two smoothly together—seams inside—and bind the upper edge with galloon. Now slip the heel stiffening (saved from the old slippers) upjaetween the lining and the outside and catch it there with two or three basting stitches. Then lew upper and sole together, holding both wrong side out, 'and your slipper is finished. Turn it and put it on, and if your feet are lnma or tired you will not be in a hurry to take it off.—Good Housekeeping. •,

How to Sit, Stand and Walk. Women should stand with chin drawn in, chest thrown out, and tho weight of the body on the balls of the feet The head and shoulders should not be thrown back, as is commonly believed. In walking the same position should be used, the length of the stride being twice that of the foot, heels in a line and toes thrown out The weight of the body should be thrown on the ball of' the foot, and the heel and ball should be placed on the ground at the same time.

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?

CORRECT STYLES FOR THE SUMMER SEASON DESCRIBED. Sfft"

J«#w Parasols Provided for the Summer Campaign, Including CoaclSinjr, Carriage, Pompadour and Dlrwtoire Parasols and the Diminutive P&rasolette.

The manufacturers of parasols for the summer of lSSi) have produced a wonderful array of these protectors from the sun—an array that covers every possible contingency. There ore parasols for the promenade, parasols for a carriage drive, parasols especially designed for coaching parties, and parasols for the races.

NEW STYLES IN PARASOLS.

In our illustration are shown four styles. The airectoire parasol, with a very long stick, finished off with a silver crutch handle and a bow of striped ribbon this is par excellence the promenade parasoL The carriage parasol is mounted on a much shorter stick, and, as a rule, Is finished with an elaborate and costly handle. The one in the cut is of chased silver, enriched with a Louis XVI head in Dresden china. The third figure in the illustration represents one of the multitude of "many purpose" parasols the stick is of wood, in rustic pattern, and tipped with a cock's head in enamel and sparkling with rubies and diamonds.

Anew comer, which has been christened "Parasolette," and resembles in many respects the old "sun shade," is a diminutive affair, designed especially for carrying on afternoon drives. These parasolettes are out in a bewildering variety of colors, mounted on slender rods of brass, or sticks of wood and ivory, flounced with lace. Those designed for coaching parties have their silk covers mounted ou crop handles. Now Yorkers have taken very kindly to the elaborate "silver deposit" handles, which in numerous cases extend a*f oofs length or more up the stick. The color of the cover of a parasol is governed by the color of the costume with which It is to be carried.

For fetes and summer dresses are dainty affairs with rich lace covers. Such a parasol is shown in the central figure in our cut In this the lace border is arranged in a floral pattern that is exceedingly effective. The Pompadour handles to the parasols are novel These are flat and round in ivory, with a gold shield in tho center, or sometimes the handles are all in embossed gold or silver.

The New Long Scarfs.

The long scarves introduced promise to be much worn in place of light wraps during the midsummer season, hence our readers will doubtless be pleased with the illustrations here presented.

LO! 3 BCABPS.

The central figure represents a white or black Chantilly lace scarf, designod to be carried around the neck and tied at the throat with a knot of moire ribbon. On one tide of this Is shown an old scarf reversed. This may be of black cashmere or Bengaline, and is bordered with a thick niching of pinked out silk. It is slipped over the shoulders, where. In olden times, it was kept in place. The remaining figure shows what is known as the "empire shoulder scarf of colored gauze, crepe or similar material bordered with embroidered lime or French laoe, anA embroidered around the cape and square ends with a wreath of self toned or contrasting silk.

Lateet French Fashions.

Aa a rule, sooner or later, fashionable women tbe world over are influenced by what the Trench people wear so we present to our reader* some of the latest fashions from gay Paris. First, ti.w:, nothing can be straighter than tbe skirts now wus by fashionable women in Paris. 5ot a «loel is to be seen, and the if tbey exist, ar^iuvWtK Cblne ftlfc ii much in fashion ibero. Silk* are decidedly coming In again for all but rough, useful costumes about this there is no doubt There are many varieties in new ctoths, quite tbe most novel being cashmere with a wool wuft and a silk woof. Irish poplin is a fashionable material, possibly because it is an intermediary between silk and wooL Alpaca is also much worn.

Tbe revolution in sleeves is accepted. Some of the newest are very wide at the top and either laoe or button inside the arm. Frsnch women allow them to drop over tbe hand, carrying out tbe medteval in Its entirety.

They aro rather high at the back, but very open In front, the vandyked edges tot meeting across the bust and then rsoednfe. The sleeves are short, but v*ry full, and exoeedingiy pretty, with double edgings falling round tbe arm. but caught up high at tbe top. These jackets are to be bad in tinted and black lace.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

HtMU on Decorative Matter* and Articles of Utility In the Household. There is a way of making very pretty and inexpensive lamp shades. A wire foundation or frame must be procured, and four sheets of pink and three of white paper like that used in making paper flowers. These are crumpled lengthwise to make thecn look like crepe the edges must be gummed together and hidden in the crumpling. The pink is put over the white and the latter cut a little the shorter. The top is tied with a moire ribbon, and a light transparent shade is thus cheaply made.

Very handsome are the little squares of light, transparent silk crepe in blue, pink, palo green or bluish rose which, thrown over glass globes, raider the light subdued and soft

Some shades are very large, made on a wire framework in form of an umbrella, the foundation being a very thin, transparent pink silk covered with «soft, light muslin trimmed with lace and with little bows of moire or satin ribbon at the top. For these shades light colors aro used, but pink is prettiest and gives the best light, and the effect of these large pink umbrella shades in lighting a room is to give a very agreeable, soft, rose colored light

A cheap ana serviceable fringe for bedroom lambrequins and other cretonne decorations can be made by raveling strips of square gray linen, and at short intervals sewing in strands of colored worsted, a heading is made by turning down the top of the wrong side, leaving a plain piece half an inch wide, which is covered with coarse herring bone stitched in crewel or wool

To conceal a grate In summer, cut the top of cornstalks with the leaves and tassels on and group them together, with a bed of dry moss to conceal the ends at the floor.

Savory Dishes.

Tongue Toast—Grate finely the remains of a tongue and mix it with the yolk of an egg or aspoonful of cream, finely chopped parsley, pepper and salt Mako it very hot (but not boiling) and pour it on to fingers of well buttered hot toast, sprinkle thickly with fine bread crumbs and let it brown before the fire.

Anchovy Toast—Mix over the fire one ounce of butter with the well beaten yolks of two eggs, a teaspoonful of essence of anchovy and one of champagne. When quite hot and thick (it must not boil) pour it on somo rather thick slices of hot toast and set It In tho oven for two or three minutes to soak. Serve very hot

Smoked Fish Fritters.—Have ready batter, flake some smoked fish (either salmon, haddock, herring or bloaters), dust tho pieces lightly with cayenne, dip in the batter and fry till crisp in plenty of lard or oil drjin well, and serve piled up on a napkin.

Vanilla Ice Cream.

For vanilla Ice cream beat the yolks of eight eggs with three-quarters of a pound of sugar. Flavor one and a half pints of rich milk with a tablespoonful of powdered vanilla bean and scald well. Let it cool enough not to curdle, then stir it into the eggs. Sot tho pan containing the mixture into a vessel of boiling water and stir constantly until it has thickened. Do no": lot it remain long enough to curdle. Take off tho fire and add a quarter of a box of gelatine which has been soaking half an hour in two tablospoonfuls of luke warm water near the fire. Cool the custard before putting it into the freezer, When in tho freezer stir constantly till the mixture begins to set, then stir in lightly a pint of whipped cream. Put in a mold and return to a second relay of Ice and salt.

Wine Stain* on Table Linen

To remove wine stains on table linen it is usual to soak them in milk. This answers well if done at once. But if the stains are of long standing it is best to use Javelle waUtr or prepare the following bleaching liquid: Dissolve one-quarter pound each of chloride of lime and common washing soda in three quarts of boiling water in £.n earthenware basin strain and bottle. Pour half a pint of this mixture into one basin and some boiling and soapy water into another. Dip the stained part of tho cloth for a few seconds only In tho bleach then rinse in the soapy water. If this is not entirely successful repeat the process until the stains disappear but do not let the cloth lie in the bleach, or it will spoil it The cloth should then bo sent to the wash.

Window Screens.

Window screens Inserted uuder tho raised lower sash cause endless vexation in removing and replacing them whenever necessary to close a window. An arrangement much better is to noil or glue to each sido of tbe window frame inside a narrow strip of wood, let the screen frame be provided with a small groove on each aide, BOO It can then be run up and down on the wooden strips, which should fit nicely in tbe grooves. Windows and blinds Can thus bo opened at win by simply sliding tbe screen without removing it. The only disadvantage of ibis plan is that it is interfered with by somo styles of window catches.

Green Gooseberry Jam.

Green gooseberry jam makes a change, and is firmer for pastry than ripe gooseberry jam. Put a small toaenpful of water in tbe preserving pan, then add the gooseberries and let the juice be drawn out a littlo, taking care they do not burn. When tho fruit i* warmed through add sugar, three-quarter* of a pound to a pound of fruit, putting it in gradually and stirring to prevent burning Ccok from half to three-quarters of an bour
