It is somewhat to be wondered at that a term of reproach has been manufactured oat of the words which state the social condition of an unmarried female of more or less date, a term largely ased by the vulgar among young girii, and rather disused in good society a term, too, which may in its own time be applied to the largar number of the young girls using it now, since, though many are called, few are chosen.

Considering that the spinster has been deemed a fair target for the receipt of all random shots with this supposedly unpleasant term, it is also noi a little singular that wherever an ideal or powerful quality has been peraooated in the poetry and religious and myths of the race it has been in the shape of an unmarried female. There are the Nine lluses, for example, the presentment of all art, all song, all soft motion, all thought and relation what weird and withered sisters they would be by this time had not Fan by dying swept them all into nothingnesal The Three Graces, too what old fashioned, lean and spiny spinsters would they be by this, richly meriting the opprobrious term If years oould make them do sot And Noma's nymph Egeritt one trembles to think what changes time would have wrought in her, making her the fit subject for the epithet, had she not gone down into the gulf with Curtius and many another fair and noble dream. The Sibyls, already verging on dangerous ground, as it were, in their own time, what must they be had they continued down to oursf

One does not speak of the Furies or the Harpies, since one seems privileged to doubt if such powers as theirs for controlling the husband and the family were, under the general law that allows no waste in the cosmos, allowed to be useless, and if there were not unrnen tianod husbands in the background there, each liko the felt but unseen companion of Siriua. But there is Pallas Athene, lofty, gray eyed, beautiful and severe, who must ever be liable to the imputation, together with the farouche and silver browed Diana and there is Hebe, as open to the charge, wonder as we may if yean, in whatever number, can make of her bloom anything less than lovcilinesa Heavenly and eternal old maids, living in a separate atmosphere of poetry and the past, If you can bear the epithet bandied with opprobrium, with all your beauty and bloom and immortality of youth, and receive no hurt, shall not those of less degree of years, even if also of lees degree of beauty and charm, bear the same, and with an equal indifference!

The Goddess of Liberty, too, in our own day, is without doubt an unmarried female, now of many years standing, whatever Britannia with her trident may be held to be but perhaps we may leave these mythical women, and the Porcaa, and the Noras, and all the rest, and oome down to the base of real flesh and blood in history, and ask if it disturbed certain great women to be branded by the unpleasant epithet, or if it disgraces others to share the epithet with them now. To jQMiby St Ceoilia. St Agnes, St Cathaupon the secular: Shakespeare seems to have thought well of Queen Elizabeth, as she walked "in maiden meditation, fancy free Joan of Arc, it is true, died young, but if her baroscope oould have beso forecast as for one to remain on earth, It is safe to believe it would have set her down aa one of the immortal spinster sisterhood.

And among those of lesser social degree, may we ask what share of disgrace fell to Jane Porter, the chronicler of Sir William Wallace, the creator of that immortal hero Thaddeos of Warsaw, type of half the heroes born to the pagea of romanee since theof And the mum may bo inquired respecting Hannah Mora, wbo was as large a factor in the rearing of the brilliant macaalay as any other and again of Dora Wordsworth, nearly as rare a poet as her brother—to mention but a few out of a multitude, and not to touch upon our own day at all.

Few people would hare oared, not to say dared, to speak of the "great Elisar at an old maid few would have thought of the term with Joanna BalHie or Maria Edgeworth or Mary Mitford, and perhaps none in connection with Mary Lamb but they are all of the band, nevertheless And on the whole, it is no* so poor a thing to belong to a band that can produce the Ideals of art, poetry, religion and philosophy, that oould produce a great ruler, a great warrior, and

and Miss Nightingale and in this view those who are subject to the reproach involved in the colloquial name of the band, oan afford to consider the jeers of those who use the phrase, as of no more weight than the chattsring of sparrows in the city streets.—Harper's Basar

The Woman Who Knows How to Shop. What a Messing to her family and the community at large is tbe clear beaded, sensible woman, who knows just what she wants and buys accordingly, fights shy of the bargain frmnfc*1* and auction room does not consider anything cheap that she does not need, and scorns to struggle with a hurly burly mob of people for the sake of securing an artido for two cents lees than the regular price. To shop with discretion and follow the beacon light of economy is

to

avoid the shoals and

sandbars of extravagance. Those who do not need to oount tbe cost of what they buy are in the minority, and hence this matter of shopping should be so cultivated that it will become an art Indeed, it should be recognized as part of a girl's education to shop wisely and welL Even the most careful of mothers give this all important matter but little thought Music, art and the languages are added to a substantial English education, with perhaps a few lessons in cookery thrown in, but where is the teacher or parent to be found who thinks it necessary to so train a girl in tbe art of shopping that she will be brought to consider thrifty management not a bores but a most womanly accomplishment that once acquired will bring with it delightful feeling of self reliance?— Cor. Philadelphia Inqnlrer.

Evening Press Forty Tears Ago. Few ladies who "follow the fashions," or who consult tbe hundred and one fashion periodicals poured out from the press every month and every week, have any idea of the extreme simplicity of tbe patterns of female attire which were in vogue fifty and even forty years ago. It is sufficient to say that the bodice and the skirt of the dress were generally in one piece that the gown fastened by hooks and eyes behind that the skirts were never "draped," and that their sole ornamentation was nothing but flounces.

The only practical way in which a lady could show that she was in full dress was to show a low necked dress and to bare her arms. Moreover, bodices were, when made low, universally cut horizontally instead of on a bias, and the female novelists of the last 'sssAjg&mv parties in their endeavors to prevent

she glorified herself with a train, a tall "panache" of plumes and as many diamonds as fortune had favored her with otherwise tbe cut of her gown did not materially differ from that of the school girl's low neoked muslin frock.—London Standard.,

A Woman Sporting Reporter. In the reporters' stand, says a New York letter, I saw for the first time a woman reporting a bone raoe, and I was interested in reading next day what she put to paper. It was good work, and it suggested anew bow much women are now doing that only a short time ago was dbne by men alone. This young woman had an artioleof five columns length in a conspicuous New York newspaper ou Sunday with reference to the horses that ran in the Suburban and the Jookeys that rode them. Tbe same newspaper devoted nearly half Its spaoe that day to special articles written hy women. When a woman has the gift of writing oomMnad with the gift of newspaper sense, and by that I mean the judgment that tails her what to write and what to omit she is quite as valuable to a big newspaper as a man, for she brings to the newspaper a freshness of oheervation and an originality that are refreshing. Sho can obtain a certain line of Information, too, that man secures with great difficulty. All the big

Mrs. Lathrop (born Rose Hawthorne) bears no suggestion in her looks of HwHip to her illustrious father or her well known brother. She is a tiny bit of a woman, with a Mignon faoe, not exactly pretty tat "cunning" and attractive, with gray brown eyes and ftuffy brown hair.

Women in Australia. i/

An excellent little Australian paper entitled Dawn firmly advocates equality of the sexes, and publishes a number of sensible pertinent articles striking at the very heart of the many perplexing questions that arise in regard to woman's past and present position. The statistics sent from the office of Dawn to The Woman's Journal prove that Australia takes no uncertain 6tand in reference to co-education. Tbe facts compiled about women and the Australian Universities prove that "equal justice to the scaos is the reigning principle in tbe constitutions of the Australian universities, the only exception being the exclusion of women from the Melbourne Review of all the questions shows that Australian experience favors tbe belief in the mental equality .of the

Quiet women are women of power. noisy, blustering, arrogant *df among them make the air hot with their voices, and trouble the world with their superabundant activities. But this cannot be called strength—it is more generally a sham and a show, which breaks down under the pleasure of personal and private trial while the true power of those who, as wives, influence the prawnt, and, as mothers, moid tbe future, lies hidden from tbe public, all the more valuable because of its reserve.—Jewish

The

Cleaning Bottles.

The easiest manner of cleaning oily or greasy bottles is to pour into them a little strong sulphuric add, after they have been allowed to drain as much as possible. The bottle is then corked, and the add caused to flow into every portion of It for about five minutes or IKX It Is then washed with repeated rinsings of cold water. All traces of ofl or greasi left will be removed In a very expeditious manner, and no odor whatever will be thus in the bottle after washing.— Once a Week.

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR!

APPROVED FASHIONS FOR THE LONG MIDSUMMER DAYS.

Comfortable and Attractive Bodiee Corsage for Evening Wear—Feehtoae la This Season's Bathing Salts—Bath Hate, Stooktngs aad 8andels.

In our illustration la shown an attractive and at the same time exceedingly comfortable bodice oorsage for midsummer wear.

KVKirWG BODICE CORSAGE.

The model illustrated is of cream colored lace striped with narrow apple, green ribbon, finished off in a loop, which falls like a fringe on the lace flounce. The puffed epaulettes are likewise deoorated with spaced rows of the velvet ribbon,with which are made the rosettes nestled in the throat bow, on the sleeves and at the wrist, together with the connecting traverses.

Fashions in Bathing Salts. 4-

Bathing suits are little changed this season, consisting still of a medium short skirt buttoned aloag the belt of a garment that covers the wearer from neck to ankles. This long garment may be cut en prinoesse—all in one —but more often has separate trousers sewed permanently to a waist, which may be a loose sailor blouse or a Garibaldi, or else is made with a yoke and a belt the fullness between being gathered or plaited, as the wearer chooses. The trousers are long and quite wide, and may be gathered to a band at the ankles in Turkish fashion, or else they are straight and bordered there with tbe trimming used on the skirt and waist The sleeves for swimming suits are short while those of suits used merely for bathing are long, covering the arms to the wrists. The s&ilor collar added to most suits is cut lower at the throat than formerly, and may be rounded at the corners or else square, and is very deep in the back.

Usually one of these colore is employed to trim tbe other, white braid, or flannel striped with white oa red or blue ground, being the favorite trimming. A white sailor collar made of Turkish toweling is pretty ou either red or blue suits tbe fall long sleeves then have deep wide oufb, tbe belt Is white, and either a border or else square tabs of the white toweling are on the skirt A border of flannel with stripes a fourth of an inch wide, alternately bine and white, or red and white, trims white flannel suits prettily, and tbe collar Is then also of the striped flannel.

The best covering for the feet and Hmhs when in the water is the long bathing stocking, which is finished with oork soles, or else there are India rubber sandals permanently fastened to the stockings. The oil silk hats 'erred by bathers are now made with a puff crown, which takes in all tbe hair, and a wired brim that may be drawn down over the ears and also projects slightly above the eyes. Tbe most picturesque cape are merely a crown with tasseled top, like the fisherman's cap, woven in stripes of the oolor of the bathing dress. A red silk handkerchief, tied on gypsy fashion, also makes a gay and pretty turban for bathers.

Waistcoats to Wear

with

Many Gowns.

White waistcoats are particularly popular with all sorts of gowns, and very neat ones of pique, cashmere and silk, made with buttons down the front and two little pockets, are sold for wearing with the open coats and bodices. Some are real waistooata, others mere fronts. More dressy looking ooss are of soft silk, in flat folds crossing eaoh other, or gathered into very short bands at the throat and again at the waist, with a silken or muslin direotoire frill down the center.

These are made in all colors, and look well If there is a waist band, or if the bodioo closes at the waist The linen shirta, made HW»a manX with starched front and ouffk. area great deal worn for boating, especially under the light fancy flannel open ooots. They are worn with a deep waistband. The surah and satin MerveUleux directolre jacket blouses are delightful wear for both day and evening. They have the short, loose ooat front with the folded vest, which oan be otoaed up to the throat, or a little open. The back Is either tight fitting, or mors generally in the jeney style, with a band which croasea the front and fastens at one aids with an ornament or fancy bottom These are particularly useful In black, for wearing with all sorts of skirts, but look very cool In while, cream, pale pink, eta.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Household Uate That Save Time, Worry aad "There is nothing in my own experience which I have found of more value than lists— shopping lists, marketing lists, lists for meals, calling lists, correspondence lists, lists of every sort and variety to aid tbe memory and help toward the realisation of the Scripture injunction, 'Let everything be done deoently and in order.'" Such is the testimony of a writ«r in Good Housekeeping, who says further:

First, let me speak of the list for meals, which, with the marketing list has become with me a daily habit As soon as convenient after breakfast every morning, having made a short inspection of the larder, and, if necessary, having consulted the cook, I sit down and prepare a list for the next three meals.

For this and the marketing list I keep on hand small blocks of paper (S^ inches by 5 inches I find large enough), and tear off the lists as I write them. The list for meals I bang on a tack in the kitchen, by the side of the sink where the 000k can consult it, and thus, if she happens to have a short memory, need not run to ask what was ordered for any meal For the marketing list I consult the meal list to see what will be needed for the next twenty-four hours, adding to these articles anything we happen to be out of, or any other errand I wish to remember. In this way, by giving not more than fifteen minutes' care and thought to the matter each morning, I am able to dismiss the question of food from my mind for the rest of the day. I do my own marketing, taking my list with me, and starting as early as I conveniently can every morning, in order that the butcher and grocer may deliver my orders before dinner time. My afternoons are always free for calling, reading or sewing, and I have invariably found that the cook likes the list system, and that if I give up the practice for a few days she will feel lost without it and ask for the "receipt," as one girl invariably called it

It is often helpful, especially in the busy, house cleaning time, to make a list of important things you mean to do or have done, as, for example, mending a broken chair, having a troublesome door planed, making a new rag bag, plastering a mouse hole and various things of the sort, which will never be done if you do not make a list and in all probability will, if you da Always scratch off the things which you have accomplished, and you will take great pride, if your list is a long one, in seeing it grow shorter and shorter until all the troublesome, worrying little things are finally done.

To those not accustomed to the use of lists, a first trial may seem too much trouble, but it has always been my experience that the system and order resulting from the habit, save not only a'great deal of time, but worry and mistakes as well. Have always blodka of paper on hand, and tear off the sheets as you use them. They are very inexpensive, ranging from 2 cents a block to 5, according to size. t*r f* -y
