WOMAN AND HOME.

INTERESTING REVIEW OF THE PROGRESS MADE BY WOMEN.

rt« In«atimsbl« Import* no® of Color—B*cpoimlblUltrs of Mother*—The Dreae of Literary Women—A Prophecy on Boa**keeping of tlie Future.

Neeer stn» civilization 1 "i Its first feeble steps, wayward jet ever at. ard, bare woman occupied tbe favorable position whlcb they do at present—favorable for their own special development, and favorable for the race.

the earlier, tbe purely savage state, tbej were perhaps as mucb the equal of their mata as the iionen and tigress are now todead, science intimates that they were som* thing more. Be all that as it may, civilization had to take an apparent step backward and downward in order to bring them anywhere near another and a better scat of •quality. As the more beautiful trmg them were sought, pampering and indu ice made tbem tenderer and weaker doubtless, till they lost equality and became dependi With that they were easily made the sp of war, the capture from the hostile tents, slaves, whether kindly or tyrannically entreated, and with hardly more chance of deepening their natures or enlarging their souls than they might hare had were the Mohammedan faith the true one—the faith which teaches that they have no sou la. There was but one way then to any happiness or comfort for them, but one way to win any heart's desire for themselves or their children, and that was through the good will of the chief, the master, the lord, or that of his favorite, and that good will had to be obtained at any cost Helpless and weak, timid as helpless weakness makes one, their only arts were love and cunning, and where one of these would not answer it had to be supplemented by the other.

If the master's nature had in it elements of justice, the cunning wai not needed but that was probably not too frequently the case. Through all the subsequent regimes, ever enlarging ennobling, women have not entirely succeeded in ridding themselves of the whole of the effect of this stage of their existence in the race, and slyness and subtlety are traits against which many of them—but, thank heaven I not all—have yet to struggla Civilization had gone very far indeed before women left this condition of subjection. Only In separate and not altogether admirable instances were they free from it even so late as the timo of the biist Greek conditions. It was a nominal freedom that they had in Rome, where one wife was the rule, but where the freedom of divorco was a nullifying and destroying offset It was in the Hebrew life that women first received any due share of recognition at a time when the harem, or the senana, or Its equivalent was nearly everywhere else the rule. There one wife took pre-eminence over concubines.

The poetical and sacred character of womanhood had basil recognised in Miriam, in Deborah, in Anna and In the custom of the one wife the initial point of the real family had started. But civilization seems to work, like leaven, through the whole lump, and not in separate parcels for just as we have at the time of the European renaissance, without any known communication, a renaissance of, tho same sort iti the islands of the farthest east, so tho custom of having but one wife presently prevailed in Rome and In many other places, as if by common consent Women then with the Germans were a sort of priestesses they i*uled In a way as strongly as if by forco. Expeditions wero undertaken at their will, were abandoned If they forbade, and their blessing was striven for.

But great as advance bad by this time becomo, greater yet was the advance that chivalry and the spirit of the crusades ef fccted. Thero had doubtless been individual love and worship before but now it was general, so to speak no one beautiful woman was so much to bo reverenced as womanhood itself. This half poetical, half religious reverence, extended to the whole sex, was not so ennobling to women as to men themselves it did men vastly more good than it did the feeble women mewed In cage* and receiving •n alms of worship. The act of worship was ennobling to the worshiper, and once lifted to the plane where he could see the real worth of woman, man has not receded, and every advantage that she has since gained has been given to her by the man who might have withhold It

It was, then, among the people of a pure and grand religion, where amoral law existed of the stralghtest sort, that woman first roue from the mere dust, respecting herself as she received rospoct, feeling her flrst thrills of aspiration. And It was under the development of this same religion in Its loveliest and loftiest life that she became the object of tender regard, that she ceased to be a slave, that the world was opened to her to use according to her powers, and in the lines marked out by her own nature, its limitation hare is boundlessness there.

It is under the reign of Christianity that woman has come to her full opportunity and has taken her plaoe beside man It is under the benignant law of the leader whose first recorded word after the stone had been rolled from the sepuleher was "woman," that she can go forward still, and In moving take with her her sou and her son*s sons. It is un der this dispensation that it has come to be understood that The woman's cause Is nun* they rise or sink Together, dwarfed or jplUlke, bond or free: For site that out of Lethe scales with tnao The shining steps of nature, shares with man Bb nights, his day«» mow- Uh to one goal, Staysail the fair young pi tin hands— If she be small. sUglit Batumi, miserable, How shall men grow? —Harper* Baaar

Leigh Bunt said: "I never wean old woman wearing a scarlet cloak in wet weather without biasing her." Color is a sort of life, and when a woman puts on a bright gown and walks abroad knowingly, with a background of comparatively colorless landscape about her, she is an artist and knows hoir to make an effect

Mother's Responsibilities.

Few mothers reflect that the family is merely a school for husbands and wives, says The Rural New Yorker. What sort of men motfft (be best husbands} Those who as boys had the best mothers. The boy who will criticise his mother's speech or drees, who will find fault with her coffee, or bread, will do the same with the woman who may be so unfortunate as to give her life's happiness into hiis A man may be drawn out of his selfishness through a few weeks' courtship, but wait until the wear and worry of married life come on, and he will inevitably settle back into it Love seldom radically changes a nature. Only the grace of God can do that, and it takes more grace, 1 often think, than many people get hold of. "The best husbands I ever met," says the author of "John Halifax," "came out of a family where the mother, a most heroic and self denying woman, laid down the absolute law, 'Girls first not in any authority, but first to be thought of in protection and tenderness Consequently the chivalrous care which thoee lads were taught to show to their sisters naturally extended itself to all women They grew up true gentlemen—gentlemen generous, unexacting, courteous of speech and kind of heart"

It wets while reading the above that it oc curred to me how truly the mother mold* and forms the future husband. It is a fearful responsibility, I grant you, sisters, but the reward is a glorious one. If you teach your sons to yield generously to their sisters, to shield and protect them manfully and lov Ingly, not only do they make better husbands, but the sisters who have been so cared for will look for the same courtesy, chivalry and tenderness in the men they marry, and will be satisfied with nothing less.

Right here I want to give a quotation from Shakeqseare which occurs to me. There isn't any special connection or sequence in it, except that mothers would do well to have their daughters commit to memory this •ringlfl passage, if no other, from the world's greatest poet It speaks for itself, and comment is unnecessary "And while thou livest, dear Kate, take a fellow of plain and uncoined constancy, for he perforce must do the right, becauso he hath not the gift to woo in other places for these fellows of infinite tongue, that can rhyme themselves into ladies' favors, they do always reason themselves out again. What! a speaker is but a prater a rhyme is but a ballad. A good leg will fall a straight back will stoop a black beard will turn white a curled pate will grow bald a full eye will wax hollow but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and moon, or rather the sun and not the moon ifor it shines bright and never changes, but keeps its course truly."

Literary Women and Dress. The old theory that literary women must be long haired, unkempt in appearance and eccentric in dress, is rapidly dying out The modern authoress has greater social obligations than her sister who preceded her, and she must drees accordingly. Eccentricities in drestt, even with the most talented, are not so generally overlooked as in the past And a glance at the costumes at a literary reccp tlon of a coterie of literary women shows the present tendency. The stunt skirt that for merly the literary woman has

gracecharacterized

ven way to the more dignified train, lias succeeded awkwardness in toilets and manners. Julia Ward Howe, Mary Mapes Dodge, Marion Borland, Jenny June, Harriett Prescott Spofford, Margaret Sangster, Mrs. Lew Wallace, Anna Katharine Green—these and many more of our literary women aro both modern and aristocratic in their di-em. Elaborate toilets are not a necessity with the modern authoress, but she cannot,, on the other band, with any success to herself, affect the eccentric or curious. Our younger women writers are naturally more dressy. Maude Howe, Amelie Rives, Margaret Deland, Sarah Orne Jewett and other members of the younger school are aesthetic in their dress, and frequently the prettiest and most stylish gowns at a gather (ng are worn by them. It is, on the whole, a pleasing indication of the progress of our time, that becauso a woman is a writer is no longer a guarantee of peculiar manners or eccontrlc embellishment—Ladies' Home Journal

and did the same thing at Cambridge in Its®. To be practically^bachelor of arts in two uni1 end ties would have satisfied the ambitkei of persons, but not so with Miss Mary.

There still remained one more attainable height lb become a London master of arts was the last and greatest victory, for Miss Worley passed the examination so brilliantly that she took the first place, and at the same time won the gold medal Cor classics. M»« Worley has resolved to devote tor exceptional talents to the profession of teaching.—London Queen.

The Game of Messenger.

The party are seated in line, or round tib» side of tho room, and some one previously appointed enters with tho message, "My roaster sends me to you, madam," or "sir," as the may be, directed to any individual be may select at his option. "What forf* is the natural inquiry. "To do as I do," and with this the messenger commences to perform some antic which the lady or gentleman must imitate—say be wags his head from side to side, or taps with one foot incessantly on the floor. The person whose duty it is to obey commands his neighbor to the right or to the left to "Do as I do," also, and so on an til the whole company is in motion, when the messenger leaves the room, re-entering with fresh injunctions. While the messenger is in the room he must see his master's will obeyed, and no one must stop from the movement without suffering a forfeit The messenger should be some one ingenious in m.bing the antics ludicrous anrf yet keep within moderate bounds, and the game will not fail to produce shouts of laughter.

Another game, of much the same character, is known by the title, "Thus says the grand seignor." The chief difference is that the first player is stationed in the center of the room and prefaces his movements, which the others must all follow, by the above words. If be varies his command by framing it, "So says the grand seignqr," the party must remain still and decline to follow his examples. Any one who moves when he begins with "So," or does not follow htm when he commences with "Thus," has to pay a forfeit—Detroit Free Press.

Housekeeping of the Future. In cities and villages the kitchen and cooking stove and hired girl are all to be banished from the home. Clothes making, soap making, starch making, laundry work, coffee browning, yeast making, butter m»lHng—all are gone. Send after them—or rather say that organized industry is already taking along with these—the remaining work of cooking and cleaning. This state of things is coming as sure as fate and when it comes the deliverance will be so great that generations yet unborn shall rise up to bless the workings of this beneficent law.

The city of the future will not build houses in squares, giving to every house an individual kitchen and prison like back yard. It will rather build them all around an open square, and the part now disfigured with the kitchen will be given over for a household sitting room or nursery, opening into a great, green space,where children shall play in safety, and through which the free air of heaven shall blow into the houses surrounding it In every square will be found a scientifically constructed building containing a laundry and a great kitchen, supplied with every modern appliance for skilled and scientific cookery, and also for sending into every dining room any desired quantity or variety of food. The individuality of the home and the home table will be preserved, and the kitchen smells and waste and "hired girl" will be banished.—Mrs. Helen E. Starrett in Forum.

Pressing Flowers.

A botanical press is the first thing necessary, which may be made by almost any one. Procure two boards one inch thick, each 0 by 15 inches fasten apiece one inch thick and an inch and a half wide across the end of each to prevent them from splitting or warping. Bore a hole through the slat, board and all, so that it will come in the middle of the slat, first laying the smooth faces together so that the holes will meet Procure two bolts which will work easily in the holes, and the press is complete. If you can get a blacksmith to make some with handles on freely running burrs they will be the best Blotting paper is best to absorb moisture, but if it be not convenient newspaper will da Place four thicknesses of newspaper next the under board, then place your specimen between two thicknesses. Place it on the four sheets, then another four, ands on, as many as you like. Change the absorbing papers as often as once in forty-eight hours. Do not remove the specimen from between the two sheets until it will cleave off of itself. Better to let it remain until you aro ready to mount it Specimens should be kept under light pressure after they are dry. About 175 pounds is necessary to press. House plants and flowers will retain their natural color much better than others. If the plant is wilted when put in to press it will invariably turn black. —E. E. B. in Springfield Homestead. ,yis

Co-Edacjitlon.

At a banquet of the University of Texas, which is co-educational in all its departments, S. B. Maxey, ex-United States senator, said:

To the female teudents I beg to say that coeducation of the sexes is no longer an experiment It is a proved success. The just relations between the sexes ore better understood than ever before in the world's history. Woman, without looaaning ber hold cm that knightly respect and courtesy with which she has always been treated in our favored land, has proven herself intellectually a formidable competitor of that sex which in the very olden, distant time proclaimed man to be the lord of humankind. Here, as elsewhere, she has proven her right and ability to compete for honor* The moral tnfineooeof co-educa-tion Is great and beneficial to both sexoa Tho attention paid to female education during the present century, and especially ia the last half of it is a high evidence of advancing civilization. I glory ia the dvilizatk« which educates the girl equally with the hoy aad gives employment to the woman cq, illy with the man In all stations for wh.ci, nature and education sha is fitted.—Chir later

PRACTICAL INFORMATION IN RELATION TO AUTUMN STYLES.

MM Surprise Coetcuae for Travelers by Ball or by Steamer—A New Style In Hair Dressing—Presses for ib« little

People.

The costume shown in tho cut has been appropriately named "The Surprise," and it is a most convenient arrangement, as the wearer can travel by rail or steamer in what looks tike an ordinary traveling dress, and than, by turning back both jacket and skirt, an extremely dressy toilet is disclosed

THX 8URPRIBE 008TUME.

The first figure shows the Surprise costume (loeed. It is of rich black silk, in redingote ftyle, trimmed with silver tinsel and passementerie. The second figure represents the same costume, with jacket turned back, forming rovers and disclosing a bodice both of rich silver gray satin, embroidered in handsome moresque pattern, with silver tinsel and passementerie. The skirt is also caught back and shows a front en suite. k:

J'- New York Styles for Children. At 2 years of age the waist of the dress may simulate a guimpe at top, being gathered at the neck just above the armholes, then sewed to a plain round low necked waist, or one tucked and having drawn work a little fall of embroidery drops around where the false guimpe is added, and the belt is of insertion. Girls of 3 years have real guimpe waists to wear under low necked round waists, made entirely of hemstitched tucks, the short puffed sleeves and low neck trimmed with a ruffle that is hemstitched and edged with narrow Valenciennes lace. A sash of the nainsook hemstitched across the ends is sewed in the side seams and tied behind in a large bow with ends. At 8 or 4 years of age solid colored India silks are worn in blue or pale rose, or white with feather stitched tucks, and may be with separate guimpes or else high in the neck.

To distinguish boy babies, thicker cambric dresses are pleated from neck to waist, but plain on the sides, in continuous breadths except where the front is cut off at the waist line and tucked like a shirt bosom the skirt is then gathered to the edge, and a separate belt Is set around all the waist except just In front The back of the waist has a box plait down the middle (concealing the buttons which fasten it) and narrow side plaits beside it The little turned over collar is parted In front, and this, with the cuffs and belt, is feather stitched with blue, red or white. Pique frocks are similarly made for these little fellows, says Harper's Bazar, authority for the foregoing.

Cloaks and Mantles,

The new cloaks and mantles are, many of tbem, according to The Cloak Review, made with long hanging sleeves sewn down as faf as the waist Into the seam immediately behind the arm, and yet straight and iu one with the fronts. Others have long sleeves, or rather coverings for the arms, made of a long slip of material about half a yard wide, pulled slightly into the armhole, and attached at the back as far as the waist Others of the long mantles have double or even triple sleeves.

Much passementerie of a very rich kiud is lavished on the mantles. Curious combinations of colored tteads, jet beads and colored silk or metallic card are indulged in largely. They are applied both to black and colors, and uot only is the ornamentation of a composite order, but tissues of two or three different sorts are used fcr the mantle itself. There are small mantles of velvet and lace, the velvet portion quite short with dolman sleeves, or in the shape of a Figaro vest, with sleeves cut off at the elbow tinder lace sleeves are applied to both long aad lace fronts. Sometimes cloth is mixed with velvet, the latter being used for the pointed plastron at the back and the fronts continued Into long square or pointed ends. Small manties for early autumn are Vnade in shot silk UKI trimmed w|th lam.

The Nearest Fads and Fashions In some Household Linen. The "hot corn," "hot potato" and "hot roll" napkins represent one of the newest fads in fancy napery, and are simply hemstitched and decorated squares of linen. For a potato napkin, the words "hot potato" ere worked in outline diagonally across one corner in the remaining corners are worked potato blossoms or initials, according to fancy. Corn and roll napkins are similarly decorated in appropriate designs.

Fine new toweling shows small patterns, such as bird's eye or a tiny clover or ivy leaf scattered thickly over the surface.

The newest features in toweling are the all round borders and hemstitching, which take the place of fringe. These fringeless towels strike erne somewhat oddly at first-, but they spare the laundress trouble in straightening out the fringe on fine towels.

Hemstitching ia very popular on all household linen, being seen on pillow and sheet shams and handsome sheets, as well as lunch and tea cloths, napkins and doylies. For the larger pieces the hero is about two inches wide.

A new ornamentation for linen, and one which is much admired, consists of strong, handsome, open work embroidery. It appears on table runners, carving cloths and doylies, and also on pillow shams and spreads.

In spite of a fancy on the part of some for the newer colored bed spreads and twister covers, white spreads and shams continue to be the popular thing, and the most elegant of the top sheets and shams are either I beautifully hand embroidered or ornamentod with the handsome open work already mentioned, or exquisitely hemstitched.

A Pretty Nest for the Baby. Among appropriate and useful gifts that welcomed the coming of "a little stranger in the household," not long ago, was the pretty cradle shown in the cut

The body of it is an oblong, shallow basket of wickerwork, such as grocers receive bottles packed in. This may be covered with a coat of pretty enamel paint, light blue, or cream rolored being very attractive.

The wood *vork is much after the fashion of a clothes frame. The shape of the pieces resting on the floor is represented in the picture. These are cut from one and a quarter inch stuff and are about two feet long.

There is a mortise cut ln the middle of the top of each to receive the tenon of the upright piece, which is dipped in glue, driven into place and then secured by wooden pins driveu through holes made for that purpose. The uprights are of bard wood, about four feet long and cut to taper from bottom to top, where they are each finished with a pretty brass ball The cross piece that unites the two end pieces Is mortised into the uprights

near the bottom, and firmly held with glue and hardwood pins as already described. This cross piece should be at least six inches longer than the basket, so that there will be room for the latter to swing freely. The basket I* daintily lined with Swiss muslin laid over pink or blue silesia and edged with lace. When hung with brass chains to the wooden frame it makes as charming a nest for the baby as one could wish to see.

4! Cleanlns Men's Clothing. The process of cleaning men's and

bSyit

clothing is perfectly simple, though laborious and unpleasant Diagonal, cosslmere and such materials will stand washing, and if a coat, vest or i»lr of trousers Is very dirty or shiny this Is the best way to clean and freshen it up. It Is th« way the professional scourers do it. First, make a strong soapsuds with clean warm water. Never wash cloth In water that has been used for other things, as It will make It llnty. Souse the garment up and down iy the suds and nib out all dirty places and grnase «|tots. If very mucb soiled, it may go through a second suds then rinse well through several waters as warm as the suds and bang up to dry. When almost dry roll it up for an hour or so: then press it

The secret of pressing without, having the goods look shiny ts to put a piece of old muslin between the goods and tho iron and to take up the Iron without fall before the steam stops rising from the cloth, if there are bad wrinkles or shiny places, put a wet I'loth over them and press with a hot iron, not forget ting to lift off the iron when the full head of steam is rising, so tiwt the nap of thr rJoth will be lifted.

A housewife of long experience, writing to The World, tell" how she makes champagne cider that is not only a leliciou« beverage but Is nice for pies or pudding satioes or any purpose for which brandy is employed In cooking: Take three gallons of uew cider, tiefore fermentation has commenced, and bring it to a boiling heat, skimming off the scum as fast as it rises.
