TRAITS OF THE REMARKABLE WOMAN WHO RULES GREAT BRITAIN.

Julia "Ward Howe on Woman'* IndfiTer-anco-—The lieautie* of AndxlMia The Political Women Will Win—Dressing the

Baby—Pin Money for Farmers* Wires.

Among the many hard working women in England there is none more industrious than Queen Victoria, and, like the majority of those who have achieved any distinguished success in the state of life to which they have been called, she is a great believer in early rising. In Prince Albert's time the royal couple had always breakfasted, attended prayers-with their household in the private chapel and taken a walk together round the grounds of their palace before 9:30 o'clock, when the real business of the day began. Although not so young and hearty nowadays as formerly, the queen still rings for her cup of cocoa at 7 o'clock and rises an hour later. Breakfast is laid, out in the apartments of Princess Beatrice, with whom her majesty also lunches alone.

At Windsor the morning is spent in signing state documents and generally studying state affairs, and if the weather be propitious the work is carried on out of doors under a tent. Like every good Englishwoman the queen dearly loves her tea and partakes of the cozy meal in company with Prince Henry of Battenberg and their little ones. The afternoon is entirely occupied with driving, or sometimes riding, an exercise her majesty is very loth to relinquish notwithstanding years. The royal dinner hour is 9 o'clock, sometimes even later—just about the time when the sovereign's eldest grandchild, the emperor of Germany, thinks of going off to roost after having discussed a very simple supper with his family and friends. Fortunately no meal at the royal castles is of long duration, and dinner is dispatched in a mercifully expeditious (banner. If guests have been invited the queen enters her drawing room five minutes %efore the hour strikes, and on the sound of

Ihe gong leads the way to the dining hall. Boon after 10 the party retire to the "corridor de conversation," and the august lady addresses all her friends in succession, but does not remain with them much longer than half an hour, when she returns to her own apartments to write letters or play duets on the piano with any of her daughters who happen to bo staying with her.

At Balmoral, "the dullest liouse on this earth," according to the late Lord Beaconsfield, the monotony of existence is almost oppressive. State business is, of course, conducted as at Buckingham palace and at Windsor, in the early morning, after which, more often than not, the whole party is forced to proceed on a country expedition in open landaus however cold the weather may be, not returning home until late in the afternoon or evening. Luncheons and tea baskets are of course taken in the carriages, and the repasts spread out in picnic like fashion in some sheltered nook, The queen is particularly fond of sketching, and to the despair of her shivering and blue faced ladies in waiting, will order her camp stool to be produced, and remain plan to la, transferring tho landscape to paper, whilo these unfortunate mortals stand around, awaiting her good pleasure. Ono of her majesty's most pronounced peculiarities is an inordinate love of cold weather. Fires are her abomination, and she will enter the room .where her people are assembled, suffering severely from tho effects of those open wi"dovrs, which are derlgueur wherever she is expected, exclaiming with provoking hilarity: "What a lovely day!" "What a comfort to see Jack Frost again!"

It must be whispered that tho chief lady of tho realm is not on all occasions the most considerate of companions. Besides her disregard for the feelings of others in respect to icy apartments, she is apparently unaware that her ladies in waiting are like ordinary mortals, capable of bodily fatigue. They must always bo within earshot, always ready to produce tho daily papers (from which every paragraph which might prove distasteful to their sovereign has previously been carefully removod) and to read aloud standing for any longth of time. French and German, as well as English books, are discussed in the presence of the royal circle after dinner, when the queen is not feeliug inclined for music, and woo betide the maid who shows any sign of failing strength 1 Many ladies have, indeed, proved physically unequal to tho tasks thus imposed upon them and havo been dismissed without further ado.

Tho queen is, as may bo imagined, a stern mentor in small matters as in great. Her disliko to tho ways and manners of tho modern Englishwoman is very evident, and only recently has she allowed her Indies to indulge in such vanities as "fringes," or to disport themselves in ulsters or other outdoor gear displaying a inasculino cut. To drivo a dog cart was also, in her opinion, an essentially manly privilege, and tho Princes Beatrice, who now revels in the pastime, had, I believe, a hard fight to obtain her mother's permission to bo socu thus demeaning herself anywhere outside the castle grounds at Balmoral.

Tho Lady Victoria's own costumes are of the simplest, and her bonnets of antiquated fashion, while, must I admit it?—her indoor boots retain the broa$, almost forgotten shape of bygone times, and are made of paramatta, with elastic sides.

Not long ago, to my knowledge, a pretty little maid of 3 summers, the child of ono of her favorite young friends, was summoned to Wiudsor to take tea. with her majesty's grandehi Idrni. The proud mother had dressed her tiny daughter in a sashless but picturesque Kate Cfreeuaway frock—new fangled attire which did not seem to find pleasure with her majesty, for she remarked to the nurse on parting with her: "Maggie is a nice little girl, but the next time she. comes to see use she must wear a sash."—-Londou Letter ID San Francisco Chronicle.

Woman*# Indifference.

There is a class of notdo workers who labor unceasingly for the uplifting of their unfortunate sister women but there Is a still larger chvss who do nothing of the kind. It Ls true tha-w may live so far removed,, "on the high table laud of circumstance and opportunit yy' that the cries which hourly go up to God from the oppressed never reach their pars but we doubt it. In all the world there Ls uo blindness or deafness like tho blindness and deafness of indifference. It is to this class which never see# tho pitiful sights, though pitiful sights are everywhere, and that never hears the plaintive moons, though meanings fill the air, that Mrs„ Julia Ward Howe addresses herself in the following masterful apjxsal: "I will not say how far women attain or OOHM short of the divine grace, charity bat I will my that without it they must always the e*-own and glory ot oe womanhood. I will say, too, that in tho present day the especial mid providential subject of this charity is their own sex How does our record stand in this particular Wears held to be the depository of personal parity but ww giv* up

frighttnl proportion of onr

to recog

nized polli-tioti and degradation. Some of us Ut« and move on a high tableland of clrcnmstanoe and opportunity. AU about as ar» the deep vales of misery and privation. The wail

of women who cannot feed their children, who break their health with overwork, or waste it in ignorant idleness, comes up to us. We shrug our shoulders, fling an alms, All np a subscription, are sorry—that is all. But if we had charity, Paul's charity, we should godown into these low places, and inquire into the causes of all this misery and degradation. And then the superfluity of our health would all be directed to the true alchemy, the turning of society dross into human gold. "Society women, apply yourselves to lifting up the women of the poorer classes. Young ladies, let each one of you help some young girl who stands on the threshold of life, unprovided with the skill and knowledge which ere requisite to make a woman's life pure, honorable and self supporting. Mothers, who lay your infants in a silken bed, or gather around you your well grown children, have a care for. the mothers whose infants pine in unwholesome dens, whose children, if left to themselves, will learn only the road to the gallows. Rise to the entertainment of this true thought: 'The evil which we could prevent, and do not, is in that degree our fault."'—Good Health.

Tho Beauties of Andalusia. As regards her stature and mold, the Andalusian girl is almost invariably a petite brunette, and, although not all are plump and many are too stout, the majority have exquisitely symmetrical tapering limbs, well developed busts (flat chested women are almost unknown in Spain), and tho most dainty and refined hands and feet. Regarding these feet Gautier makes the most astounding assertion, that "without any poetic exaggeration it would be easy here in Seville to And women whose feet an infant might hold in its hands. A French girl of 7 or 8 could not wear the shoes of an'Andalusian of 20."

I am glad to attest that, if the feet of Sevillian women really were so monstrously small fifty years ago, they are so no longer. It is discouraging to see a man like Gautier fall into the vulgar error of fancying that, because a small foot is a thing of beauty, therefore the smaller the foot the more beautiful it must be.

If Andalusian women really had feet so pnall that a baby might hold them in its hands, they would not be able to walk at all, or, at least, not gracefully. But it is precisely their graceful gait and carriage for which they are most famed and admired. All Spanish women are graceful as compared with the women of other nations, but among them all the Andalusiaus are pre-eminent in the poetry of motion, and this is probably the reason that, although regular facial beauty is perhaps commoner in Madrid than in Seville, I find that you cannot pay a greater compliment to a girl in northern Spain than by asking her if she is an Andalusian.

It would be useless to seek among land animals for a gait comparable to that of the women of Seville, Cadiz, Malaga and Granada and when you compare it to the motion of a swan on the water, a fish in the water, a bird in the air, it is the birds and the fishes that must feel complimented.—Henry T. Finck in Scribner.

Dressing tlie Baby.

A word in regard to the manner in which Anglo-Saxons dress our babies. It is atrocious, and why we have so long adhered to it is only to be accounted for upon tho principle of the old Pennsylvania Dutch farmer, who balanced the grist in one end of his sack by a bag stone in the other, because "what was good enough for bis father was good enough for him,"

To put a poor little doughy scrap of incipient humanity into a series of petticoats a yard and a half long, with great wide bands, which must be pinued around the little body, while the helpless little head rolls about, and the weak little neck is twisted and stretched, is simply barbarous and, "because our grandmothers did it," is no excuse for us.

All that is wanted is a bit of soft wool or silk vest, then, while the baby is very young, an abdominal band fastened with three or four bits of tape, and finally a slip reaching a quarter of a yard below the tiny toes, made of flannel, muslin, anything—single, double or treble, at your pleasure, but which can be taken off in a jiffy aud replaced by a clean, dry one whenever necessary. What an economy of mother patience and infant happiness I It is a good half hour's work to get a howling, kicking infant out of one of its present rigs and into another, and so the poor little amphibian gets on as best he can, and takes it out in making things lively generally.

The mother, full of a beautiful but mistaken sentiment, has probably spent weeks in stitching atdaiuty fabrics in the close atmosphere of her room (which are altogether unfit for a drooling baby), when by giving herself fresh air, sunshine, active exercise and intellectual pastime, she would have been heaping up untold benefits for herself and her unborn child.—Lucy M. Hall, M. D.

The Political Women Will Win. womto deFrangueville recently read an admirable paper before the meeting of the flvo academies which form the Institute of France, in which he made this declaration "I wager that tho political woman eventually wins the day." Women working for equal rights have long felt tho truth of this Frenchman's guess. Politics is not a synonym for office holding, as too many shallow thinkers assume, but tho science of government.

Now every woman who is interested in the methods and aims of the government under which she lives, is a political woman. They who do the thinking will as certainly eventually do tho governing, as two and two make

s£our.

Advanced thinkers in Woman's World are turning their attention to political studies. In Londou and Boston classes havo been organised for this purpose which arc destined to grow more and Tiore pnpulav.

The suffrage socletitoR iu threat Ilritaiu and its colonial dependencies and in the United States are working in the same direction. Women of tho arvfeocmtic classes iu England. who arts not suffragists, are very active politicians, and elect or defoat official candidates. The}* would scorn the epithet, "political women," ami yet. in the methods commonly recognised in the term political, they ore eminently so.

As we recall tho genius for politics displayed by Deborah, Thomyris, Kexiohia, JEteadicea, Isabella of Castile, Catharine IT, Maria, Theresa, E&uibcth of England, Madame de Stael, Abig&l Adonis and Hundreds of names less known to fame in times of peas©, we mast admit that the political woman won the day.—Toronto Globe.

Pin Money for Farmers* Wirt*.

Jersey farmers' wives don get. many opportunities to turn into dollars the long hours of midwinter, when the household cares of the summer and fall have lightened.

the

Are Beautiful Women Happiest? In my life I have known many women well. Among them is a fair majority of what th® truly appreciative would call happy, for which fact I thank God, as it has helped me to take, on the whole, a hopeful view of life, is well as human nature. Now, are those women, blessed as many of them are with deroted husbands, cheerful homes, cultivated jociety, and leisure for the exercise of any special talent they may possess, beautiful women?" With one or two exceptions, no. Indeed, more than a few of them are positively plain, if feature only is considered, while from the rest I can single out but two three whose faces and figures conform to my of the recognized standards of physical perfection. But they are loved, they are honored, they are deferred to. While not iliciting the admiration of every passer by, they have acquired through the force, the jweetness, or originality of their character, the appreciation of those whose appreciation jonfers honor and happiness, and, consequently, their days pass in an atmosphere of peace and good will which is as far above the delirious admiration accorded to the simply beautiful, as the placid shining of the sunbeam is to the phenomenal blaze of an evanescent flame.—Anna. Katharine Green in Ladies' Home Journal.

The Cairo Women.

Some one turns his head and looks. A hundred heads follow suit. It is a couple of Egyptian women in baggy trousers and veiled to the eyes that hurry by, their multitudinous bangles, bracelets and necklaces glistening and jingling.

In a cool corner, under a gayly striped awning, you halt a few minutes and drink a tiny glass of fiery raki or a dainty eggshell cup of Turkish cafe noir. A bench invites you to rest a moment. The busy world buzzes about you. A fat old lady from the provinces has just brought a bar of candy from that old bearded Moslem in the scarlet fez and green striped robe.

Once between her teeth, it will neither bite nor break off, but glues her mouth and hands together. Her bucolic son, in a big felt hat and high water pantaloons, is so busy laughing at her that he stumbles into a Parisian beauty who approaches, and receives in return a withering scowl from her escort.

On the right stretches a vista of cool arcades, and through the horseshoe pointed arches the shops are seen. Their tempting arrays of all manner of eastern merchandise are surrounded by crowds of onlookers and purchasers.—Coy. Boston Globe.

They Always Win in the Said gentle Lucy Stone at the Edwards breakfast, looking about over the array of notable men and women who were grouped about the tables, gathered to do honor to a woman famed in literature and science: "It would be hard to believe, when one sees the homage done to the woman of attainment, that fifty years ago women were barred out from taking an active part in the world's affairs, and that press and pulpit united in the dictum which forbade her raising her voice in public. I shall never forget one day in midwinter when I was to speak in aNew England town it was bitterly cold. In the evening, as I was speaking, the windows of the hall were opened from the outside, and I was deluged with water from head to foot."

But even that vigorous and brutal manner of expressing disapproval did not close the mouth of the devoted woman who had a message to bring, and she insisted upon speaking until for very shame's sake they stopped and listened, and were glad of the message that brought it. Bravery and real courage always win in the end. It commands jrespect and attention.—Boston Herald, ..

Breathe Properly.

If mothers and all the dear girls who may become mothers would breathe, dress and exercise properly the dawn of a healthier, happier era would be at hand. Consumption, rightly called "lung starvation," would be well nigh impossible if right breathing were always practiced.

Thousands of people who seek health in Florida and elsewhere might get well at home if they were willing and persevering enough to make right use of their lungs. If pure air could be sold by the bottle or pound it might, perhaps, be more properly regarded but it is so cheap and so abundant—to be had, like salvation, simply for the taking— that its curative powers are greatly under estimated.

Take needed rest and recreation, take rides and walks and frequent baths—but whatever else you do or fail to do, whatever yon are or However yon feel.be sure that you breathe, breathe, breathe.—Rural New Yorker.

Pattl's Hair.

In a letter to a friend iu Chicago, Mma Patti inclosed a small carte-de-visite photograph, showing the new style of coiffure she has adopted, and makes some playful allusions to'her new, bright red hair. "It isn't blonde," she writes, **nor even golden brown, but red—bright red of the most quarrelsome shade. Yon know, I dare say, that I am In mourning for my sister. Block was never becoming to me. Hook positively wicked in a black wrap, and with a whole toilet and my black eyes and hair I was a most, dismal creator© to look upon. I not only found that the sombre tone in which I was cast had a depressing effect upon my own feelbigs, but was also unpleasant to my friends, and for their sake, as well as my own, I bad my dark locks brightened.91—SanFrancisco Argonaut

Shopping on Bnslnes» Principles. Women who know the ropes spare themselves trouble when making several purehasea at the larger stores of New York city by asking for a shipping card at the first counter they buy at Tbdr name, residence, the article purchased, and its cost are recorded on this, and the process is repeated at each counter they visit. When all their purchases are made, tbey take the card to the cashier and pay for everything at once. All the articles are sent home in one package.—Exehanga

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?

iWWptf1

STYLES THAT AFIE APPTISVETD IN THE WORLD OF FASHION. ifpb

Attractive Forms of the Popular and Pretty Tea Jacket— Loose Fronts of Soft Sarah Silk and Elaborate Garnitore of Lace and Kibbons.

That popular and charming garment, the tea jacket, appears in such varied guise that it cannot be said of any one specimen that it represents exclusively "the style."

Very many novel and unique conceits are to be found under this name, agreeing in ono respect, however, that all are of attractive and artistic design.

FIG. 1—FRONT OF FRENCH TEA JACKET. One of the prettiest of fashions in tea jackets is that of a loose front of soft surah silk. Made after this fashion is a tea jacket of pale blue cashmere. The loose front is of soft white silk, shirred in at the waist. The trimming consists of a very wide collar of white lace, and the sleeves below the elbow are puffed or shirred and finished with the lace.

Another jacket of much the same design is in cream colored cashmere with loose front or vest of surah to match, but not shaped in at the waist. The jacket is trimmed with oriental embroidery.

A handsome jacket for a lady in mourning is of black satin, the front of delicate, soft, white stuff, and the sleeves slashed with white.

A smart jacket of peacock blue velvet, made in zouave style, is trimmed with gold embroidery.

FIG. 3—BACK OF FRENCH TEA JACKET. The French tea jacket shown in the two cuts has an elaboi*ate effect, which is produced almost entirely through tho manner in which the trimming is applied. The jacket is of striped rose colored silk, trimmed with cream lace, which forms in front a spirale and collarette, the former being studded with satin bows. The lace trims the pointed basque, and the bows and long ends are of satin ribbon. The pagoda sleeve is similarly ornamented.

English Tailor Made Gowns. The fashion in English tailor gowns doesn't fluctuate much more than the shape of men's coats. All tailor gowns are plainly 'made, and the apex of perfection is reached when a gown is without a- wrinkle. The skirts of the new tailor gown area little tighter and they hang perfectly straight in front—without folds or drapery. The sides or the center of the skirts are ornamented with a braided design, and some skirts have a fur or braided border at the foot. The backs of the skirts are made in a good many different ways. There is the gathered back, the organ plaited back, the doubJe box plaited back, and the back with the zigzag drapery. The organ plaited and the gathered backs are the most becoming. They do not look stiff and flat like the other two.

Natty little jackets are made to match nearly all the tailor gowrfs. A good many are double breasted and tight fitting tho pilot and loose fronted shapes are popular, too. ,,

Jfew Opera Cloaks.

Glaring and costly are most of the new opera cloaks. Made of green, crimson, yellow and peacock blue plush or velvet, they are heavily embroidered with gold and silver and the neck, sleeves and front of the cloaks are bordered with fur. Thibet fur is used on opera and evening cloaks more than any other.

Fashion Notes.

Black and natural gray astrachan is fashionable trimming this winter, some of tho cloth jackets having sleeves as well as vests of it.

For young girls' evening dresses, crepes, gauzes and soft Indian silks are the materials principally used.

Pretty dressing jackets of flannel, with large collars and turned back cuffs of deep cream worsted lace, are warm wear tor wintry mornings. 1

Boys about S years of age wear jackets over blouses, with Mill skirts. Heliotrope is one of the most fashionable colors for tea gowns and evening dresses.

In all-gold jewelry the Roman finish is a popular one. Gold curb chain jewelry is" fasfcf&bible. There are stiff curb bracelets and flexibte garb brasefete, platinum and gold curb brnJOlets and brooches and gold curb rings.

Miniature watebea are now worn in tbe large, massive curb bracelets these also appear on some of the wire bracelets.

Very narrow valv«t or ribbon is used as trimming on some tea gown*. It is run in and oat in several rows at the throat, waist sleeves, with all the ends taken together and tied into bows*

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Decorative Odds ami Ends—Five o'Clock Tea Cloths, Doilies and Cozies. New notions in mantel borders are strips of plush embroidered and supplied with drawing strings across the depth at intervals, so that they can be festooned and ono end allowed to droop,

'X'

Another novelty is spider web embroidery, cn foundation of cloth or felt the gold spider webs are embroidered in one corner and the rest of the design is formed with flowers, cut out, and satin of the natural color placed beneath and then embroidered.

The new chair backs arc admirable for using up odds and ends of plush, brocade, etc. There are two pieces, long and narrow, looking like unstuffed cushions, connected by two smart, upright bows. The pieces fall y./er the front and back of the chair, and tho bows stand up on the top of it. The average size is 13 inches long and 7 inches wide but these dimensions are, of course, optional.

A very gay spread or lounge cover is made of alternate strips of red, white, blue and yellow linen, each strip embroidered in Russian stitch with different colored washing cottons, and lined throughout with red. Squares of ecru linen, embroidered in red and blue cottons, joined together with insertion and lace to match, are also a good idea.

Five o'clock Tea Cloths, Etc. Plain, very fine damask ones, fringed, with a large embroidered monogram in one corner, are much liked or fine linen, trimmed with borders and insertion of lace, cut work, or drawn or Holbein work, are all favorites. The fashiou certainly runs in favor of fairly substantial cloths, which can evidently be washed.

Doilies, to be embroidered with a monogram, are of pure white China silk, linen or muslin. The size of each doily is about six to eight inches square. They are fringed at the edge or bordered with lace or gold lace, the monogram or crest in the center. Many, beside the fringed edge, have lines in drawn thread work round. The monogram must be drawn, and then embroidered either in gold thread that will not tarnish or in washing silk or flax thread.

A favorite kind of tta cozy is of white satin worked all over with a network of yellow silk, and some are mode of old point lace over a color. Felt is sometimes used, but it is not so smart Plush is another favorite material.

Macaroni with Cheese.

Throw into boiling water some common pipe or flat macaroni, with salt, according to the quantity used. Let it boil a quarter of an hour, when it will be a little more than half cooked. Drain off the water thoroughly, and place the macaroni in a saucepan, with enough milk to cover it, let it boil till perfectly done, then take out the macaroni and lay it in a baking dish with a plentiful allowance of grated cheese, to which, a judicious quantity of white pepper should be added pour over it plenty of liquefied butter, sprinkle the top with more grated cheese, and over that some very fine baked bread crumbs. Put the dish in the oven and bake till the top is delicately browned.

Omelets, Savory and,Sweets For a savory omelet beat up four eggs in a basiu add some finely chopped parsley and chives, with pepper and salt to taste. Melt about two ounces of butter in an omelet pan, add pour in the mixture stir it with a spoon till it begins to set, then leave off stirring, shake it a little, and fold it in half. Let it brown for half a minute and then turn it out, under side upwards, on to a dish.

For sweet omelets beat up four eggs, sweeten with finely powdered sugar, fry in the same manner as the savory omelet. When it is firm, lay on it some jam which has been slightly warmed, and fold it over at the same time. si

A Pretty Corner Table.

Many ingenious housewives arrange for themselves a corner table, by having apiece of wood fitted in with little silk or cretonne curtains, attached to the edge, run on to a cord. These draw partially, or quite close, and hide all sorts of odds and ends beneath the table. Above the table is a dado of drawn art muslin, of some good looking material, with a shelf above. For a very trifling sum a corner of a room can be made to look cozy and artistic. This device can be carried out in a small bedroom in the corner near a window, aud a pretty toilet table thus arranged.

To Remove Paint from Glass. Take a sharp putty, knife that lias a perfectly even, unnicked edge, and scrape off as much as you can without danger of scratching the glass. Then mix a little oil aud turpentine with fine pumice stone and carefully rub off the remainder of the paint. Then clean with soap, and wash and polish in the usual way.

Items Here and There.

Iu silverware is seen much pierced work. There are very pretty cake baskets with bright centers and open work bord rs

Quite new sugar bowls and cream pitcliers are out in bright finish with a decoration of fiat chasing oxidized. These are very effective.^ •,

Large English chime clocks in handsomely carved cases of mahogany, oak and rosewood are in demand.

All floral decoration for the table should be kept low, no flowers or foliage being allowed to rise to such a height above the table as to interfere with the free view of each guest over the whole table from end to end, and from side to side.

Cut glass bowls holding a few flowers are in vogue on tho dinner table.

An Artistic Photograph Frame. The standing frame for a photograph hero represented is an example of pretty novelties now appearing In this line, and It win be suggestive to any one who may wish to. get up something similar. Tho design is so simpleas hardly to need explanation. The foundation of the frame is a wooden palette with an oblong opening for a photograph.
