"Can yon tell me where Mrs. Gill lives, little girl J" was the question a reporter asked of a flaxen haired urchin in Mulberry street, after he had spent a fruitless hour in a search for that lady. "You mean Mrs. GUI, the shoemaker, do youf*1 replied the urchin, and when the reporter said that was tbe very personage he was looking for, the child pointed down tbe street, indicating where the only woman •boemaker in New York was to be found.

Tbe reporter bad little difficulty in reaching Mrs. Gill's little cobbler's shop at 275 Mulberry street in one of tbe tenements in the rear of old St Patrick's cathedral. There was little to distinguish it from the ordinary •obblcr'B fctall. except, perhaps, an unwonted tidiness and a pretty ornament here and there that at once bespoke a woman's taste. Mrs. Gill herself rose from her cobbler's bench, where ahe was busily engaged in mending a pair of child's shoes, to greet the reporter, and when be said he only dropped in to have a quiet chat with her she wiped a stool with th« corner of her apron and asked him to be seated.

He saw (n this one brief moment that Mrs. Gill was a woman that might be possibly 50 1 of age, gray haired and pleasant faced. was evidently quite ready for a chat and began by saying that she bad been told she was tbe only woman shoemaker of the old school in New York or, perhaps, the whole United States. She said she wouldn't vouch for this being absolutely true, but, however, she had never heard of any other woman following tho trade at the bench. "Of course," she glibly talked on, with very little prompting, "there are hundreds of women working in the modern shoe factories, but any of them would be insulted if they were called shoemakers. Now, I glory in being a .member of St Crispin's 'gentle oraft,' and, though the shoemaker of the olden time has long since been pushed to tbe wall by modern inventions, I propose to •tick to the bench to ths end." "Were you regularly apprenticed to the trader ventured tho reporter. "I was born to it," proudly replied the old woman. "My father was a shoemaker of Northampton, England, when it was tho great shoe emporium of the old country, and I learned the trade as naturally as a duck takes to the water. I watched my father by the hour, and when be saw what a taste I had for leather be fostered it more to humor me in any hope that I would ever master the craft But I did, and before I was 14 years of age I made a pair of shoes for my mother that I dont think I could better now. When I was old enough I went to work in a factory in Northampton at shoe fitting, and I worked In Massachusetts factories after my father came to this country In 186& I have boon working here nearly ten years and have all that I can do, as you may see," and tbe old woman swept the little shop with a wave of her sturdy arm. "How did you come to go Into the bustocas on your own account)" was the next question. "Well, I really dont know," rite replied. "1 worked on a machine years ago, sewing uppers for Mr. E. B. Simpson, the Spruoe street pattern maker. I worked for him, maybe, two or three years, and then I did the same kind of work for Arthur & Dlnon in Ferry street, and the last place I worked was for Mr. Creed in Gold street But all this while I was heart and soul a shoemaker, and I always intended to have a shop of my own when I bad money enough saved to give up the slaving of a factory. It was then I started this little shop. I prospered from the beginning. I had a good deal of custom work, and I took a pride in doing it well. Of late years, however, I have had so much mending to do, and it can be done so much quicker and pays so much better that it's a long time since I made a pair of shoes. "My work Is the ordinary run of work done in any cobbler's shop. I repair men's, women's and chikircns shoes, and may say 1 have the entire mending of the neighborhood to da Sometimes, perhaps from curiosity, I have call from a fine tody to mend her own or her children's line shoes, and I have never bad any one to find fault with ray work."

Everybody in tbe neighborhood seemed to know Mrs. QUI and to have a good word to my for her. She has the reputation of being kindly, industrious woman and a good neighbor. Many acts of unobtrusive charity arerecor of her, and tbe children wem to be pertteu-jrly attached to her.—New York Prww. ________

In many instances the taxes and assessments have been mora the price paid for the land, and the unfortunatu woman has been obliged to sell at f% Jon. This desire to own land with a prospect, or hope, of one day building a home for iaerself, is natural and laudable Bat the inreetigatfcn of titles is expensive and troublesome, and unless a woman has a large sum to invest it is best to let real estate alone.

Savings banks are, probably, the best places for women to invest their money. A savings bank pays a fair percentage, and it is the least troublesome way for a woman to invest her saving* The buying of stock or other securities necessitates the care of bonds, which is something that few women are capable of undertaking. Tor with the best intentions in the world, and a great amount of carefulness, women do mislay or lose very many important papers.—Miss Palfrey in New York Star.

Ferfls of Overfeeding.

Excessive eating is not the most striking or the most widely prevalent fault of tbe present generation. On tbe contrary, moderation *"il even sometimes undue limitation io diet is ftif prevailing fashion. There is still, however, a considerable number of persons who habitually overeat at meals, and to such a few physiological hints may not be without their value. Dr. Beodon has been at the p«ln« to make some careful investigations on the subject, and his results have recently been published.

According to this observer, a not uncommon comiequence of overfeeding is the development of a series of symptoms in many respects similar to those of typhoid fever. The tem])erature rises, there is a feeling of serious illness, the sleep is disturbed, th«* brain is incapacitated, and in severe cases the disability is complete. The cause of these lymptomii is insufficient elimination and an alteration in the blood brought about by the impregnation of the organism with accumulated wajfte products. In addition to these typhoid itymptoms thromboses occur in the vessels, and what is known as spontaneous gangrene, or mortification of parts without any obvious or sufficient cause.

Now, these are conditions of very marked danger, particularly the thromboses and the spontaneous gangrene. There is danger to life here. The obvious remedy for such a series of evils is, of course, rest for the overworked digesting and eliminating organs. Both the quantity and the quality of the food must l)e so changed as to admit of the performance of easy digestion, perfect assimilation and adequate elimination of waste

Lemonadoi and lemon juice are said to be of great service in diminishing the extreme craving for food and this, from a limited experience, wo can to some extent confirm. Milk, also, in moderate quantities is useful, and in certain cases skim milk would prol) ably be best. It is not always found that the resting of the organs is sufficient. The fever may persist for a long time, and with it the feeling of very decided illness. Drugs of different kinds are then urgently demanded, and a competent physician should be consulted without delay.—Hospital. 5 5 4.

I have often thought that the publication of my experience in a big city, trying t* make a living, would benefit young women who are anxious to get away from country homes. Both my brother and I had evenreason to expeot that we would bo euooeeeful when we came to St Louis from New Or

After I got into a borne on Washington avenue it was struggle, straggle, struggle for three months, with a little help from the Woman's Exchange, to pay my room rent and buy two meals a day. I am well enough satisfied with tbe employment I bar., now.

I can vain for Bulwer's works and an eu cyclopedia. I get |8 for each Bulwer order I take and $8 for each encyclopedia, and 1 dont have any trouble about collecting the money. That is done by a man. I don't go about my work in a haphazard fashion, and so I am fairly lucky. I never approach a gentleman until I know at least his name, and if he is busy when I call I give him a card and ask him to let me call again. I count upon making between 915 and |£0 a week.

I have never had to suffer extreme rude neas but onoa, and, it may seem strange to you, the person who was uncivil to me was woman. She was a stenographer in a lawyer's offico.

For instance, if she gets ten cents a week, she dwold purchase all her stocking*, ar all her gloves, as ber mother may decide and doing this under the mother's supervision, she will soon learn to trade with judgment and economy. Of course tbe mother will ssa to it that the sum is sufficient to do this, and yet leave a trifle for the child to spend as A* please* This will supply a healthy stimulus it will give her a proper ambition and pride in her labor, and tbe ability to use money properly. As she grows older these household duties •bonld be increased, with the proportionate increase of money paid for the performance of them. We know of a lady who divided the wages of a servant among ber three daughters. There is a systematic arrangement of their labor, which is done with a thoroughness and alacrity rarely found, either with a hired girl or a daughter who feels that she has to do it with nothing to encourage or stimulate ber in the work.— Woman's Journal.

Stop Trotting that Baby.

"Stop trotting that baby I" I fed like saying this whenever I see any one trotting a dear little darling of a baby, and see the look of perfect misery, or at best simple endurance, on the tiny face.

Can it be explained why any one, endowed with reason, can imagine it to be pleasant for a baby to be perched on some one's knee, and a regular "get there or die" trot struck up, that nearly unhooks its bead from its shoulders, and almost jolts the breath out of its little body, and leaves it so tired it cannot even cry!

Some people seem to think that when they take a baby in their arms they must work themselves into a fever to keep it quiet, when a great many times it would be glad to be held in quiet

If they do hold the baby still they will wiggle a piece of paper or some toy before its eyes, which would be unendurable to agrown person, especially if it should be something he wished to see.

How beneficial it fnust be to the eyes as baby tries to fix them on these wavering objects.

Some'other persons have away of trying to see how near they can come to either killing or crippling baby, and not do it.

This is by balancing the baby on one hand, in an unsteady fashion, when too small to help itself, or, when a little older and a great deal heavier, to take it by the ankles or krieee, and say: "Now stiffy up, baby," and up, up it goes as high as the person can reach.—Ladies' Home Journal.

She has tbe courage of her convictions, and they are far from being narrow or provincial. Every summer season she visits New York and informs herself as completely as possible as to what is going on in a literary way, and knowing her own^field and people thoroughly she is more than ordinarily well equipped for ber work. Mrs. Keating is of the true southern type, tall, blondo, and of dignified presence a good conversationalist, a woman of superior mind and ^udgflwnt, a firm believer in the literary development of the south, and an enthusiast

Many women now bet at race meetings, and though thay have not yet gone the length of making their bets with the bookmakers personally, yet they get their friends to do so fir them, look upon it as a serious matter of business, and in many cases venture considerable sums. We do not, of oourse, refer to those who, wben they go casually to Ascot, have small bets of two or three ffcunds on soma of tbe principal races, but to those who make a practice of attending the principal meetings, such aa Newmarket, Epsom, Kempton, Leicester, Manchester, Liverpool and others. Ascot, Sandown and Goodwood are essentially ladies' gatherings, where most of the ladies go more for social than racing purposes but those that attend the other meetings are increasing numerically, and in their attention to "business," and wben they take to racing regularly are as a rule fond of gambling at cards, though the latter is by no means anew or modern amusement among the votaries of fashion.—London Saturday Review.

To Soften Wet Stiffened Shoes.

"Wbatls thatf "They are using it on their shoes now." "On their shoesr "Yes, and tbe ladles mutt be given credit for having made a valuable discovery.

Yes, indeed, this rainy weather has caused quite a boom in the vaseline trade. "—Washington Post

The hat worn with this charming drees has a brown velvet crown and a black laoe front the garniture consists of pink roses.

New York Styles.

The first French dresses imported for autumn repeat many of the designs brought oat late in the summer by Parisian modistes. Bound waists, full sleeves and straight skirts reappear with variations. Jacket waists and elaborate fronts of oorsagea remain in vogue, and basques are not wholly abandoned. Some features of the Directoire coat are retained, and new ones are added. Passementerie, braiding, fur and feathers, with velvet out bias and also velvet ribbons, are tbe trimmings of the first dark dresses.

The round waist is without darts, and, paradoxical as it may sound, is slightly pointed ii front and back. It has but few seams, and may be either plain or full on the shoulders its fullness below is plaited or gathered to the points at the waist line, and it is trimmed there by vandyke points of embroidery or of passementerie, or else it is edged by a folded ribbon, fastened by a bow without ends on the left side. The round shallow yoke so often mentioned will still be made of velvet, silk, moire or embroidery, or of the dress material covered by passementerie. The high standing collar and mutton leg sleeves will be made for most wooitm dresses: cloth dresses, however, seldom have very full sleeves, as they cannot be worn under a cloth jacket or fitted ooat

The skirts of new dresses are hung to appear almost straight, yet those of heavy fabrics have one or two short steels in their foundation skirt merely to support them, not to add to their size tbe pad bustles are omitted altogether. The fronts and sides of many skirts are perfectly fiat, while all are made full in the back by means of gathers or plaits, or some lengthwise jabot folds.

Shot velvets, both plain and figured, and shot moire ribbons will be much used for parts of dresses, for wraps and for bonnets or their trimmings. Short sleeveless jackets of velvet, of faille or of moire will form tbe bodioe of many dresses of silk or of fine wool, aooording to Harper's Basar, which Is authority for tbe foregoing.

Mew Trimming*

Cord is often intermixed, and this adds a great deal to the intricacies of tbe pattern. There is quite anew range of trimmings also In the form of silk guipure. Tbey resemble the imitations of Spfcnisb and Italian lace amateurs worked some years ago with

braid, tbe edge outlined with silk cord, and the interstices filled in with stitches. It is extremely rich and handsome looking, and is a vast improvement to a dress. Whether in guipure or braid the character is the same long or short, the points are united at tbe base only. The same class of trimmings and rich guipures are made for the first time in pure white (not cream) silk, and very pretty they are. The black braid trimmings can be had in either silk or wool, and in navy or myrtle, navy bine being the tone that is mora in demand than all tbe rest put together.

Tbe starch for cuffs, caOan and which are suppoasd to be snowy white. Is imdffl ordinary, so that wben it is cold you can slice it with a knife. For four shirts, a doaen collars and as many pairs of cuSs, put to boil in a clean aanos pan with copper bottom, one and a half quarto of clear water hava ready a cupful of beat gloes starch dissolved in cold water, and wben the water on the stove is galloping (for it must "dance" as well as "sing"), pour in tbe melted starch, stirring well, and boil carefully till it Is translucent It must be quite thick, and if one cupful (as cup's vary) is not enough, dissolve more and add, being careful not to let it burn. Fifteen to twenty minutes boiling I find sufficient, and it is ready to strain in a three cornered cheeee cloth bag, which you will find better than thicker goods. Now add a teaspoonful of kerosene and a few drops of bluing.

The starch made and the clothes ready, you may now proceed to busiueca. Dont be in a hurry, for what time you oonsume in the starching will be made up in the ironing. As soon as the starch is sufficiently cool bear your hand take a shirt which has just come from the rinse water, gather up the bosom, immerse in the starch, rub well, long and vigorously till the starch has entered every fold of the bosom, lining and all dont wring or squeeze, but draw it through your fingers well, slipping off all superfluous starch treat band and wristbands the same, hang up uutil bone dry. Proceed to do the same to the collars and cuffs, not forgetting that success in the ironing depends wholly upon how well you rub in the starch. In stripping them of tbe starch, endeavor to smooth out all wrinkles while wet, and when dry they will rattle tike paper.

If the ironing does not tike place until the next day, put your linen away carefully out of the dust, but do not sprinkle. A half hour before you are ready to iron it, wring out of cold water very dry a clean white cotton rag twice the sixe of a towel, lay the collars and cuffs on it, with a fold of tbe rag between each article, roll up smoothly and tight On the shirt bosoms lay a similar rag, only smaller, enough to cover the starched parts, roll as before and put away for thirty minutes. Heat on the fire three polishing irons, which are oblong in sluipe with rounded oortiers. The ones I have have a corrugated surface which aids much in obtaining that luster so envied in well laundired linen.

When the time Is up, take one article at a time, lay cn a clean white ironing board. See that your hands are immaculate and your irons clean rub tbe latter on brown paper and a bit of beeswax, then on a clean rag. If your polisher is at the right heat, it will only take a few firm rubs up and down on each side to make you feel proud of your collars and cuffs. The shirt baeoms are drawn out smoothly on a bosom board, after Ironing the sleeves and tall, also the neck and wrist bands. Now grasp the neck with your left hand and slide, as it were, your iron up the middle, sending all wrinkles to the sides instead of tbe top or bottom. Press firmly, curve around the neckband, so that it will stand, put a pin in it to preserve its shape, fold, and your work is done. Dont be discouraged by your first failure, bearing in mind that the ironing is the least part of th« wodc, and that (uaow depends
