WOMAN AND HOMEa

THE INFLUENCE OF WOMEN THE PUBLIC LIFE OF WYOMING.

BlAti 'or Puzzled Girl*—Some Kale* for Happy Wivw—"Coming Oat," the Great Xrent In a Woman's Life—The Kvils of .. letting Babiet Walk Too Early.

Another attempt at argument is to say that "employments open to women are few in Wyoming—teaching and domestic service," and that "women do not command equal wages for equal work." Mrs. L. W. Smith, superintendent of schools for Carbon county, Wy. T.. paid in a letter published in The Woman's Journal several years ago: "A woman here can do anything she chooses to undertake, and the law expressly states that 'there shall be no discrimination with regard to sex in the pay for any kind of work." Wyoming is the only place in this country, and probably in the world, where the law provides for equal wages for equal work.

We also heai* that "Woman suffrage is little more than a name in Wyoming. Men go to the primaries, men make the{tickets." All accounts are agreed that the women do not generally attend the primary meetings but the fact that they will afterwards vote upon the ticket has an important influence on the nominations. Judge Kingman says: "Our women do not attend the caucuses in any considerable numbers, but they generally take an interest in the selection of candidates, and it is very common now, in considering the availability of an aspirant for office, to ask: 'How does he stand with the ladies!' Frequently the men set aside certain applicants for office, because their characters would not stand the criticism of women. The women manifest a great deal of independence in their preference for candidates, and have frequently defeated bad nominations."

Ex-Chief Justice Fisher, of Wyoming, wrote from Cheyenne to The Daily News Era, 5f Lancaster, Pa., Dec. 11,1883: "The women watch the nominating conventions, and if the Republicans put a bad man on their ticket and the Democrats a good one the Republican women do not hesitate a moment in scratching off the bad and substituting the good. It is just so with the Democrats. Hence wo nearly always have a mixture of office holders. I have seen the effects of female suffrage, and instead of being the means of encouraging fraud and corruption it tends greatly to purify elections and give better government." Governor Warren says: "Our women consider much more carefully than our men the character of candidates, and both political parties have found themselves obliged to nominate their best men in order to obtain the support of the women."—Alice 8. Blackwoll in Philadelphia Ledgor. 1 "Coming Oat."

A young girl who is about to enter society Is termed a "bud," because she is an undeveloped blossom, even more attractive to many than the full fledged society girl who has had the experience of worldly things gained by going through a couple of seasons. The first duty of a bud is to have a tea, to which all her father's and mother's friends as well as her own should be invited, and then she is really started on her social career. ~*Teaa are rather tame affairs, not only because the ice cream, wafers, and coffee are insufficient to satisfy ihe hunger of the sterner sex, who prefer when they go out to have something substantial

if

no dancing is

in order, but because the attractive girls who are not receiving Mfe apt to decline being present if there is another engagement of a more important character scheduled for the samo evening. The tea, however, is a highly necessary event, and it is a cheap way of paying off any number of social obligations.

At hor first tea the bud always looks charming in her attractive white garb, and her cousins or school friends who assist her in making the affair pass off pleasantly are particularly anxious to call attention to hei^J good looks as they beam over huge corsage bouquets and endeavor to prove oven more attractive themselves.

After tho tea, when the young girl has been flattered by the attention she has received and has been called upon by young men and older ones, who have had more experience in addressing compliments to tho fair sex, she is ready for balls, germans and dancing classes, and if she has any personal charms and knows how to sway her form in time* to waltz, polka, yorke, Berlin, Danish dance or milltairo schottische music she is sure to have a good time. Even if she knows but few people others aro sure to solicit an introduction from her chaperone or other attendant, and her dances will s6on be engaged.

Tho first saason of a young girl is for per a 'delightful existence. Alas, that it is so quickly gone I—Philadelphia North American.

Uinta for Pcuotled Girls.

A work or scrap basket, both, novel and useful, can easily be made as follows: Get one of tho deep hat boxes, such' as they use in hat stores to keep several hats together, or a peach basket.

We will suppose you have (selected the peach basket, if you desire it for scraps, as being tine more substantial. Get the circumference of the largest part of the basket, and tear from scarlet silesla a strip one-fourth of a yard wider than the depth of the basket, and long enough to gather it full around the top of the basket. Sew the ends together, make a casing on one side, through which run elastic tape of a length that will (It closely around the top of the basket. Fasten the inside with the elastic in around the top of the basket (on the outside) and turn over, thus covering the top edge gather the lower edge and draw up. Cut around piece from heavy cardboard that will fit closely in the bottom and cover with the sile&ia.

The basket is now beautifully lined. For the outside, cut from chiuU, cretonne, or whatever material you may fancy, a strip onefourth of a yard wider than depth of basket and one-half yard in length more than it will require to fit

smoothly

around the basket.

This is to allow for fullness. Turn down the edges (having sowed the ends together), and two or more inches from the top run in elastic tape slip over the outside of the basket. Ihe tape will hold it closely, top and bottom, and your basket is finished. Cover and lining can be removed in a moment, if for any purpose it is desirable to do to. Anew floor barrel covered in this way would be nice to keep soiled clothes in. The same idea of making thre» removable coverings might be applied with good effect to more dainty articles, and substituting finer materials for the cretonne and silesia such, for instance, as covering a muff box with India silk and lining with satin, thus serving, when completed, lor collar and cuff case.—Christian Union.

Hute* for H«ppj Wire*.

There is an abundance of literature on marriage extant, and the jonng gvrl, or the old girl either, who has promised to take care of some unhappy bachelor need not tear to the charge of his wardrobe, hits din* aers, his babies that are to be and—his temper. There is plenty of light on the path.

It will be her own fault if she is not happy.

How to be happy through marriage is an art for her easily compressed into a small space, convenient for framing.

She must smile, always smile. If her head throbs and her busk aches, if baby is cross or cook disagreeable, she must stQl smile so long as her husband is around. She must always be in neat attire when he comes home, even though "the girl" has left her and she can hardly drag her tired limbsabout. And she must smile.' ^"1

She must feed her husband well and smile when he finds fault with the cooking or her judgment in marketing. She must make home attractive, for no married man is bound to stay at home if another place is more attractive to him. She must not cross his will, but if she desires anything must gain it by policy find smiles. Candor and explicit expression aro never to be used with a husband. The pleasant fiction that he is master might be disturbed, and the married man is notoriously easy to "upset"—at home.

She must be superior to the need of recreation and exercise, if there are babies in the house, and to the desire of praise for her efforts to please. She must never be from home when he returns from his labor. She must have no friends and recognize no relatives he dislikes. And she must smile.

A few more rules might be added, but the above are enough to show the engaged maiden how easy it is to have a happy home. —Exchange.

Between Twenty-five and Thirty

"But there is something to be said on the other side," said a woman of 26 to a reporter. "It may look like smooth sailing from the outside, but one can have but little idea how much tact it takes to steer straight in the narrow path of the five years that lie between 25 and SO. In the first place a woman at that age hardly knows where to place herself. She is neither young nor old. She is what Julian Hawthorne calls 'still young,' and the little adjective adds ten years at a stroke. If a woman who is only 'still young' takes the coy lund kittenish role, she makes herself immortally ridiculous, and deservedly so. She has lometimes even to fear letting herself he spontaneous and natural, lest some oneshould dub her the 'girlish old girl' To be older than her years makes a prig of her at once, and men and gods will shun her. 'To the very young man she must be grandmotherly without hurting his dear little vanity by superior wisdom and patronage. To the middle aged man she must respond with a maturity of judgment that matches his own, and yet she must continually suggest the innocence of 16. To the man between the two she may perhaps be nearest her natural self, and yet even with him she has continually to remember that she must never assume the equality of knowledge or experience or judgment which she is sure she really possesses. She is oftener truer in her judgments and wiser in her conclusions than he is he must never suspect it. She may be cleverer than he, but she must be clever enough to conceal it. She must follow him always, bat, like little lulus, it must be 'with unequal footsteps,' or his vanity is wounded. From 35 to SO a woman has the most difficult part of her life to live. She has to dissemble in the present, remember from the past and borrow from the future. She maybe delightful, but she is far from being delighted. Do you begin to realize it?"—Chicago Herald.

Canned Goods.

Canned food of every description is now almost universally used all over the world, and the arguments for and against its healthfulness have generally subsided. It is admitted that canned goods arc not necessarily unhealthful per se, and their great convenience and comparative cheapness render them very popular. Moreover, greater care is exercised by the canners than ever before, so that the real danger which attended the use of goods put up in tin cans has been in a great measure eliminated Nevertheless some caution should be exercised by consumers. Decomposition in animal products often develops poisonous alkaloids, like the tyrotoxicon which is sometimes the cause of illness to persons eating milk products or cheese, and cases of illness from eating canned goods are usually to be traced to this source.

There is also an element of danger in salts that may be formed by tho action of the contents on the metal of the can. Both these sources of danger have been reduced to a minimum by improved methods of canning, bud it is idle to dony that they exist, and they demand reasonable precaution in purchasing and using canned goods. There are other objections, such as they are, to food in cans. It must be confessed that the operations to be witnessed in some, at least, of the canning factories are not such as to prepossess a sensitive stomach in favor of canned fruit, and the women and men who handle the fruit in various stages are not always so cleanly in person as they might be. Good housekeepers are coming more and more into the habit of doing their own fruit canning, and this is much the better way on all accounts and not usually much, if any, more expensive.—Good Housekeeping.

Cabbage and Its Uses.

We have just put up our cabbage and now that it is safe, I would like to tell of the variety of ways in which it maybe prepared for the table. I will head the list with that royal old Virginia dish, "ham and cabbage." It is, however, only necessary to mention this, as "bacon and greens" has been rendered famous in ballad as well as in a more homely style. Cabbage stew is delightful. To make this, take a gallon of water, into which put a slice of fat bacon, a small head of cabbage chopped fine, a dozen Irish potatoes boiled and mashedMhalf a gallon of ripe tomatoes peeled and sliced and four onions, also chopped fine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, boil all together until the vegetables are thoroughly done.

Cabbage cooked with milk and butter is a nice delicate dish. Boil the cabbage in salt and water until done, then drain the water

from

it, chop fine and put in a pan on the stove and season with milk, butter and pepper. It requires very little milk. Let it come to a boil and it is ready for the table. Some think the flavor of this preparation very much like oysters. Then there is fried cabbage, pickled cabbage and last, but not least, cold slaw, than which nothing is nicer for dinner or sapper with cold meat*. Altogether, I think cabbageas useful as any vegetable we have, and it is so easily kept through the winter we put it up in along kiln, torn the heads down on a fiat bed, put a little straw over them and dr^w the earth up each side until they or# covered thickly, having the kiln pointed up that the water may ran off more readily .this is the best way we ever tried to keep them and is .little trouble.—L. H. in Springfield Homestead. 'r 3'I

S A Modem Egyptian QQCCB.

The khedive. of Egypt is not in an altogether enviable position. He is a subject of the sultan of Turkey, to whom he pays an enormous tribute. His country isenormoos^y in debt, and he has to levy enormous t&xas on the people. In consequence he & about the most bated man in the world. But to his a^t be is a monogamist, and to him mora than any ott* else is due the partial emancipation of native women from the thralldom of ancient custom*. Nevertheless women occupy a very restricted sphere in Egypt, «d many cf the old habits and customs are still

in 'vogue. The curious dress of centuries ago is still worn. The khedive is much in love with his wife, who wears a modern costume, while their children dress like Americans. The khediveh, as die is called, has her women servants by scores. She is accompanied whenever she goes out to ride or drive by some of her numerous eunuchs, and she keeps up a big establishment separate

from

that of the

king. When she sits down to dinner or breakfast it is not with the king, but with her own The king eats with his officers, according to Mohammedan etiquette, and his apartments, or the salumlik, are separate from hers. Both she and her husband have done much to break down the rigidity of Mohammedan social customs. Their love for each other, and the example of the khedive in having but pne wife, is catching, and many of the other noble Arab gentlemen are following it.—Exchange.

"Where Beauty Grows.

The~great beauties who take the social prizes in marriages are almost all bred in the lesser towns, where a less conventional society gives women a snatch at freedom in girlhood. You don't find

them

growing up

with calisthenics, health lifts and a massage use to do their exercise for them. You all remember the painful story of a girl in a city home, surrounded by every care, who was strangled in the cords of he* "health pull" one evening. Scarcely

more

pitiful is

her fate than that of girls brought up to depend on such substitutes for work and exercise if they live. A sick, anaemic woman, unused, unable to care for herself and all others, is the most pitiable, repugnant object in creation. You seldom find a lasting beauty who has not had a semi-Greek education of ^outdoor life and exercise behind it. |p

Take the beautiful Gunnings, who ran'wild in their Irish country home till their calculating mamma bad raked and scraped enough to take them to Dublin and thence to London. The Gunnings itere unlicensed hoydens, but their races over the hills gave them matchless complexions. Later still, Mrs. Langtry took her beauty course, roving the Jersey lanes with her brothers in soft, pure sea air, living on peaches and coarse bread, with just as little of lessons as sufficed to fit her for London drawing rooms.—Ladies' Home Journal.

Keeping Xate Honrs.

"A well known society lady," who makes the concealment of her name the condition of her confidence, sajrs that the fashion of keeping late hours is solely an imitation of the •English custom and utterly ridiculous in this country. In London, where the season is short, lasting only a few weeks, the same people often have to go to five or six houses of an evening. It is, therefore, impossible for them to get to the last three or four receptions before midnight. And then it makes much less difference there, as merrymaking is almost entirely confined to the leisure class, who can lie abed till noon or later if they like.

In New York the season is long, and people who have only one repeption to go to of an evening do not get there before 11 or 12. Even our society men have to get down town in the morning. The consequence is that the men who are so young that they don't count in business, or very much anywhere off the dunning floor, and the old men who can afford to take things more leisurely, are getting to be the only ones who attend fashionable receptions. The men who are between 35 and 85 will not keep such late hours, and the ball rooms are obliged to rob the cradle and the grave for their recruits.—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Letting Babies Walk Too

The senseless conduct of mapy parents in encouraging their babies to wrofeis productive of lasting injury. Long before their soft bones ought to have any strain put upon them, you will see these poor infants encouraged to stand and even to walti| and by the time they are 14 or 16 months old, their little legs have been bent very considerably, and the greatest care is needed to straighten the bones again. Sometimes unsatisfactory operations are required, at other times cumbrous appliances have to be put on which cause the poor child much trouble, and represent a very considerable outlay.

Why not have a little patience? All in good time the tiny creature will learn to walk, and will walk well and safely, without danger of its tender bones bending. Under a year, let the child brawl, but do not let it walk, seldom indeed stand, and theAnly for a minute, and from 1 year to 18 or 20 months do not allow it to walk much and when grown up people help it to walk they ought to stoop very considerably, and not put any strain on its feeble little body. Many a cripple owes its life long misery to the injudicious encouragement of proud but foolish parents, who could not be induced to wait for

nature'sgood

time.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Grace and Exercise. ,*

1

A young lady who is to appeal* in society feels, as a young man does, the embarrassment of not knowing what to do with the arms. She therefore assumes the position copyrighted by the gentle sex and folds her hands in front of her, while her forearms rest on her hips. This is just as sure an indication that she has not perfect control of her arms as it is for a young man to thrust his hands in his pockets. Women almost invariably fold their hands in front of them, while men clasp theirs back of them. In either case it may be a sign of embarrassment. Any one who has pride longs to be graceful in her movements. There is possibly no better way to acquire the necessary ease of motion than by gymnastic drill, whether with light bells, clubs, wands or by free movements. A simple gesture is a gymnastic movement. The consciousness that this gesture can be made well gives confidence, and confidence gives the necessary self control. Accurate movement of the body can be acquired only by exercises.—Outing.

J'

Women Are Best.

The work of artistic wood carving is being largely assigned to women nowadays. The manager of an Indianapolis concern said the other day: "If I were to take the average run of applicants for positions in my place, I would select a woman every time. I could then rest assured that my work would be done well, for I have tried both men and women, and I know just what to expect of each. Yon put a man, no matter how export he may beta the use of his fingers, to crocheting apiece of fancy work, and even if he has learned how to put in every stitch, he will never give the article that finished appearance that a woman's band will. It seems to be an impos^biltiy, asd just so it is in wood carving. I know men who have worked for years at it, and who know every little 'trick in tho trade,' but they do not do as well as a young girl with half their experience.1*— Chicago News.

WHAT SHALL, WE WEAR?

STYLES THAT ARE APPROVED THE WORLD OF FASHION.

Salts and Overcoats Worn by Young Boys for Dressy Occasions and for School Use. Coiffiires Pronounced Elegant and Becoming by Fashionable Women. |g|

A favorite style of dressing boys from four to seven years of age is in a kilt worn with a sailor blouse and supplemented for out of doors by a "reefer overcoat or jacket. The latter is plain, short and double breasted, in blue serge, with gilt or bone buttons Braids of various widths are much used for trimming on dressy French suits of brown or blue cloth for boys from six to ten years of age.

The short Eton jacket made of black or blue cloth, with long rolling collar cut low, is much worn by boys of about the age just mentioned.

Velveteen is always liked for little boys' suits, and a pretty example of its use is the Brunswick suit shown in the cut. This is of velveteen, either black or colored, and is faced with silk. It is a becoming suit and sufficiently rich to replacp the oft seen Fauntteroy to advantage.

BOY'S OVERCOAT AND SUIT.

School suits for small boys come in striped cassimere, the plain jacket being made single breasted with patch pockets the trousers are short or long, according to the lad's age. Beside the reefing jacket, already mentioned, come long double breasted overcoats in blue or brown cloth, variously trimmed. Our cut shows a very handsome one, trimmed with imitation astrakhan and military braid, which is very dressy for boys from foui years to their teens. This style of overcoat is also trimmed with Persian lamb on blue and beaver or brown cloth.

Blue cloth naval suits are handsome for boys from eight to fifteen years. Covert coats for boys, when worn with a standing collar and four-in-hand tie, give a "mannish" air which is likely to please a lad, as well as somo fond parents.

Paris Gloves, Stockings and Shoes.

Paris gloves for evening wear are very much trimmed. Long, light Suede gloves have a quilling of old lace round, and are embroidered near the elbow in silk and gold thread, with either monogram or armorial bearings. The lace falls down on the arms and over the gloves, and looks very cloudy and attractive with light dresses.

Stockings are more fanciful than ever. They are made sfl^ ivitl? white lace insertion, worked \vitu.'^old or metallic colors. Some are embroidered all up the leg, from the toe to the knee, and fastened with light silk garters, trimmed with either swansdown or ruches of Valenciennes lace. Others have open work clocks, showing tho skin as ii through a cobweb.

Shoes follow suit in luxury. They are still made pointed, and some so small, and low that they are almost like sandals, with the ends covered with brilliant bead work, showing up on the light satin foundation. Flat shoes (without heels) are worn for dancing, fastened'on the instep with embroidered ribbon. For day wear, either high kid boots or shoes with paste buckles are in vogue the latter have often straps across, showing the silk stocking through.

A New Bodice.

There is anew kind of bodice called "The Success," which can be worn over different skirts. It is made in velvet, either moss green, gray or red, and fastens on tho shoulder and under the arm it is open in heart shape, the folds are drawn together on the shoulders, and the same pleats aro united lower down with a gold or steel buckle, which has the effect of lengthening the waist. It is short on the hips, and falls with long,

narrow

ends at the back—that is to say,

about as wide as wide sash ends.

Xew and Attractive Coiffures.

An increasing fancy is noted for wearing the hair frise on the forehead—not in amass like the general fringe, but in small curls arranged separately and having a lighter effect than the fringe. Tim may be observed in our cut of the "Piquante" coiffure—a. new, elegant and most attractive sty la

Nj& ths pnjtrAsns comvKz. :n

The remainder of the softly waving hair is dressed high with the effect of making the appear as small as possible, which is considered elegant and distingne.

An entirely dissimilar style, also in favor with many fashionable women, is that of wearing the hair in a loom knot, low on the neck, a revival of a fashion made popular by Mrs. Langtry.

Tbe "Langtry knot" is worn to advantage by young women with shapely boads, pretty hair, and plenty of it Bat a small quantity of tab* never l^ksjw meager or mlsrattbleai when it Is twisted np into a button and worn under a large hat. Middle aged women with none too sroch hair can best set off what tfttletbey have by wearing it on top. Loops and bows and rolls of artificial hair can be cunningly arranged among the real hair, and worn .with a sense of security on tbe top of the head, but not cm the neck.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Dainty Things in Glass, China and.Brio-a-Brnc Introduced at the Holidays.

Very many new and beautiful things in glass, china and bric-a-brac were introduced at the holidays. From Elsie Bee's notes on these in Jeweler's Circular are taken the following items:

A sardinier is formed of pond lily leaves in faience£^^|y^ Rose cups

ill

leaf saucers'

sure

intended for

black coffee. Faceted handles of glass are introduced on knives and forks.

The newest cut glass dishes are shallow, with large squares and a fan edge. Wrought iron is preferred to brass by the high art devotees. The most delicate leaves and vines are imitated in iron.

The Louis XVI craze has brought about all sorts of pretty noveltiePin white faience, adorned with garlands and mounted in gilt

Vases of cut glass are used for flowers. They have the advantage of showing the stem in the water, which is a pretty sight rarely displayed.

The coloring of the newest Rookwood pottery vies with that of any foreign manufacture. More literal fidelity is observed in the floral decorations and the shapes are exquisite, particularly in the rare shaped vases.

Candelabra of Dresden china are the prettiest things imaginable. Shepherds are making love at the base to short skirted shepherdesses. Above them spread the flower like branches of pink and blue shades of buttercups, and violets encompass the colored candles.

A tall white and gold vase lamp has a fluted white siik shade, trimmed with deep lace, lifted at the ribs, and garlanded with large branches of pale pink and white clo ver. The most gorgeous effects of color are secured through these combinations of silk, lace and flowers.

Lamps are fairly upholstered. Conceive a tall mustard yellow vase on a low ebony pedestal. A vine' in wrought iron climbs around the vase. Above this are the handsome brass fixtures. Over all is suspended an umbrella like shade of yellow silk fringed with the most gorgeous Japanese chrysanthe-

An Attractive House Plant.

English ivy, with its dark green, shining leaves, is one of the brightest and cheeriest plants to be found for decorating our rooms, giving grace and charm to the hard outlines of doors and windows around which it may be trained. It adapts itself well to circumstances, and thrives in the dust laden, unrefreshing air of heated and gas lighted rooms. Its growth is hastened by the addition of a liberal amount of bonemeal to the ordinary garden loam and sand in which it should be potted. Care must be taken to keep the foliage free from dust by washing it frequently.

A Convenience in Traveling.

A convenient traveling case for parasols and umbrellas is made either in holland or stout gray linen sufficiently soft to be easily rolled. It is secured with three knotted ribbons or braid.

TRAVELING CASK FOR UMBRELLAS. The case is here represented as spread out to show how the strip of (linen is divided into sheaths or cases large enough to allow each article to bo slipped in. The length and number of divisions depend necessarily on individual requirements. Each section is separated by a row of braid similar to the one employed for the binding and the strings it is ornamented on the overlapping end witl* a galon wrought with cross stitch in knitting cotton.

Fine Fruit Candy.

Rich and delicious fruit candy is made by the following recipe: Two pounds of coffee sugar, two pounds of almonds blanched and split, one pound raisins stoned, one-half pound figs cut size of almonds, one-fourth pound citron, one teacupful of cream, apiece of butter size of an egg. Mix first the sugar with a littlo water, as if making starch then add the butter and cream, with a little vanilla. Boil until it begins to thicken, then put in tbe fruit and stir until it is creamed and white.

Pour

into a wet napkin and roll

up as if it were a boiled dumpling. Do not eat it until it is entirely cold. Then slice it hko fruit cake.

To Clean Ivory OraatnenU.

Ivory ornaments are quickly cleaned by brushing them with a new not very sharp, toothbrush, to which a little soap is given. Then rinse the ornament in lukewarm water. Next dry the trinket, and brush a little, and continue brushing until the luster reappears, which can be increased by pouring a little alcohol upon the brush and applying it to the trinket. Should this have become yellow, dry it in gentle beat, and it will appear as if new. «L -,

White Nat Cake.

The whites of six eggs, two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of butter, one cupful ol milk, three cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfnls of baking powder, almond for flavoring, and one-half pound of English walnut meats, broken. Frost the cake and place wbole irnof the nuts upon the top. For tho icing use one-fourth pound of sugar to the white of one egg. Beat the white to a froth, the sugar and beat it until it is stiff. 4^
