THREE FAMOUS WOMEN.

WIVES OF DISTINGUISHED ENGLISHMEN WHO ARE ALL POWERFULjfp

Bin. Gladstone's Wonderful Influence Over Her Hasband Aulst&nt an Well Wife—The Famous Clergyman's Trusted

Counselor—An American Woman. There are three women in London who are Beldom heard of in the newspapers, and yet to them more than to any other persons belongs the credit of much of the success of their husbands. The first is Mrs. Gladstone, stoop shouldered, always plainly dressed in black silk of old fashioned cut, her iron gray hair falling gracefully over her ears, from which depended a pair of curious, long, antique earrings.

KRS. GLADSTONE.' I-""

How much influence she has had in shaping the policy of the great empire only a few people know, but by unswerving: attention to her husband, by watching him at all hours of the day, and by spending sleepless nights in giving him care and attention, she has managed to preserve his health, and, lik. the trainer of an athlete, keep him always lb condition for the great struggle. Gladstone has never been known to depend much upon the advice of others, but if he is ever at a loss as to the proper course to pursue, he invariably seeks the counsel of his wife. She has followed him so closely in all of his public life, and has herself been such an ardent student of sociology and statecraft, and being a woman so entirely behind the scenes that she cannot bo prejudiced, her opinion is valuable, and she gives it unhesitatingly. In the Gladstone house at Ha warden the wife of the grand old man has her own desk in the library, and with her own hands she takes care of her great husband's papers, books and magazines, and attends to much of his private and public business.

It is hardly necessary to say that she is a strong minded woman. She is the only person in tho empire who absolutely controls the great ex-premier. To him her word is law, and no matter how much ho may rebel against her kindly wishes she always ends by conquering him.

During the last ten years of his life there have been many times that his health has been such that ho could scarcely be expected to speak in public or to remain in the commons until daybreak. At such times Mrs. Gladstone has never hesitated to assert her authority. On more than one occasion, indeed on scores of occasions, when she thought he was speaking too long, or that his voice sounded husky, or that ho was apt to tako cold, she has goue from her seat on the platform boldly up to him, clapped his hat on his head, or thrown an old shawl around his shoulders, and dragged him to a seat. Gladstone always insists on speaking with bared head. This is the only point in which he will not permit even his wife to dominate him. How many quarrels thero have been over this subject of wearing a hat at a public meeting no one knows, but at the critical moment the great man's wife has usually conquered him.

In her home life Mrs. Gladstone is one of tho most genial of women. Her children have grown up around her and are all settled. Her children's children now play gleefully about her kneo in tho sunset of her life. She is happy in her husband and in her family. For fifty years she has been the wife of one of tho most famous men that the world has produced. She has not been a shrinking, timid creature, but a woman of commanding intellect, of firmness and of sinceresChristian faith." She is loved and respected wherever she is known. What more could any woman ask?

MRSij SPU

One Ok the othOT'Wbmetf.^faito as famous as Mrs, Gladstone and much resembles her in foco and form. It is Mrs. Susio Spurgeon, wi Co of tho greatest pulpit orator in tho world, Sho is one of the pillars of the Tabernacle iu Nowington. She teaches a Sunday school class there, devotes some time to her husband's college for young ministers, and twice a week spends a day-with the orphan boys and girls at Stockwell. Like Mrs. Gladstone sho is very careful of her distinguished husband's life, and, like Mrs. Gladstone, she is lur husband's most trusted counselor.

In tho library of their residence at Westwoqd Mrs. Spurgeon's desk adjoins her husband's, but in another portion of the house sho has a little don of her own, whbro she collects books and pamphlets for tho Col portage association and where tho sowing society sometimes meets to prepare clothing for the poor of London. She Is distinctively a home body and never misses cno of her husband's sermons unless her health is too poor to permit her leaving home. Sho appeai-s to bo in tho full prime of lifoi although sho is now a a grandmother. Her children have all married and settled down. Her sons are ministers, and her only daughter i» the wife of a minister. Sh6 is the leading spirit in the great church over which her husband presides.

The other woman has also a distinguished husband. She is younger, and in physical apjmrauco fairer than those mentioned above. She is an American, too, who has managed by her tact, her brains and her beauty to eouquer all before her.. 1c is Lady Randolph Churchill, wife of the eccentric Lord Randolph, who, it is safe to say, is one of the most talked about men of the empire to-day, and who may yet be prime minister. Ton years ago ho was regarded as a brainless fop. Today he is one of tho great men, and the future holds niUQti in store for him.

Lady Randolph Churchill is one of tho social stars in the great firmament of London. Her rise from the tailor made daughter of tho Wall street broker to the wife of a lord of the realm has been rapid and to some peo pie mysterious, but it has been done by her cleverness and tact While Lord Randolph Churchill has the faculty of making enemies, his wife has the faculty of making friends. She is one of iho best liked women in society. She is incited everywhere. She entertains qtite liberally, although hor income is not sufficient'/ largo to warrant plunging. Her husband is domestic in his affairs, and although a club man and a great diner out, he Ukes is is own home,

Lrfusv Clnsrchiil is seen everywhere during the season. Every house is open to her. As you probshiv kmsw, she is one of Leonard Jerome's uaug hunu She came over her© unheralded, indoed. was rather suspected of having made a mess of it, bat, her husband developed very rapidly politically, and his wife's charm of manner and conversation quickly brought a host of friends around her. —Faster Coates In K«w York MaU and Es* Press-'.

Picturesque Women.

There are women who took picturesque in akuv«M any kind of drees. They have invariably weU shaped beads and graceful outline, flat shoulders and a pretty line of arm ftnrf shoulder They seldom have vary small waista, but possess very beautiful hair in great quantities. Tbeir ey« need be very largo, but tbev must, bo well set, "put in with dainty Augers," as such setting has been described ami though the «m^jkxiO0 need not be perfect, it must be natuJal, and the nosa unaccustomed to the powder puflL Such women look poetic, and inspire the poet, the painter and the sculptor.—New York Telegram.

Dressing by Machinery.

I had heard it reiatod, «tays Mme. Carette In "My Mistress, the Empress Eugenie," that owing to the empress' serious illness after the birth of the prince imperial, it was contrived for her robes to descend from the ceiling in such a" way that when she was placed under the apparatus her dress and her petticoats, which were then worn to fill out her skirts, were pat on at the same time, just as if all were done by a fairy wand. J'-'

But the following will explain matters: The first time that I had occasion to assist at the empress' toilet, which afterwards happened frequently, I saw a small "lift" descend which had been concealed ia the rosework of the ceiling and communicated with the chambers of the empress.

On it were the dresses required by the empress, and this contrivance prevented the continual going and coming on the small staircase, which was so narrow that the toilets would have been limp and rumpled if brought that way. On seeing this "lift" descend for the first time, I burst out laughing, and related to the empress the absurd, story that had been told me.

The empress was very much amused, and remarked how fertile publication imagination was when it wished to invent anything relating to parsonages in high positions and how little may give rise to quite ridiculous and false legends. Thanks to the "lift," axid to a speaking tube that communicated with the chambers, the business of the empress' toilet was executed quickly and without inconvenience.

Origin of tl«e Jacqueminot.

The Jacqueminot is a trifle more fanciful in origin. An irate father slew the lover of his daughter, upon which she died of a broken heart. There was a clump of Louis Quiuze roses growing by the seat where the lovers were when the general found them. These rose bushes were red with the youth's blood and the girl's father ordered them cut away. The next spring green shoots grew fronv the roots again, and one day th3 gardener said: "Monsieur, will you come into the garden? Thero is a miracle to be seen."

Truly it seemed a miracle had been wrought. One splendid stem had grown up, and on it was a bud, half opened. It w^s uot pale pink, as the parent had been, but a cardinal, velvety red—a royal rose, full of grace and beauty.

The man who had never flinchcd at the charge of tho wild Arab when he rode side by side with Kleber, and stood tlio shock of ten of the Hungarian and Polish lancers, put his bauds to his eyes and weptlike.a bov, and tho old gardener turned his face away that h© might not see tho other's grief, while ho softly whispered a prayer for the soul that had gone to God. "Shall I cut it down, my master?" said tho old man softly after a fow minutes of silenco. "No it is the flower of God, and let it grow."

It grew and flourished, and this is tho story told of the origin of th'o queen of roses, which sprang from a lover's blood.—Detroit Free Press.

Never Ending Slavery.

Thoro is ono kind of physical wear and tear in the matter of clothes which man escapes. Ho may work himself into a frenzy because his tailor has not finished liis now dress coat in time, has made it too long in tholbody or too short in the skirts, or he may shatter his health in trying to satisfy tho demands for sealskin and velvet of an extravagant wife, but of tho oumiprescent needle and the garments which must bo made, mended or altered lie is happily oblivious. Not so with tho woman. Among all classes but the vqry wealthy this to her is a never ending slavery. Women who have a rpultiplicity of household cares, girls who need much active exercise, tired tcacherc wl\o^should feel free when thw *sch'dol room door I __ them, shop girls, sales wTibien,' typewriters, all spend hours of painful struggle over sewing when they should be exercising, reading or sleeping. A specter of unfinished garments follows them everywhere, and the pathetic phraso, "I have such piles of sowing to do," is always on their lips. An enormous amount of female vitality is wasted in this manucr.—Lucy M. Hall, M. D.

Shutting Out Drafts.

In almost every kitchen there aro drafts from tho cracks between the bottom of the doors and the floor. The cold air passing over one's feet on a freezing day soon chills them, and this should" be avoided. To protect the kitchen from these drafts, tack a strip of old carpct (Brussels, being stiff, is best) across tho bottom of each door. Cut the carpet four and a half inches wideband two inches longer than the width of the door on which it is to be fastened, so that the carpet may extend an inch beyond the door on each side.

Tack tho strip of carpet aero® the bottom of tho door, placing tho carpet so that half of its width will lie on tho floor while the other half is attached to the door. It is not necessary to have the tacks near together place them three inches apart in a straight line near tho top of the carpet. If these carpet capes are fastened on all the doors in the kitchen, the room will bo far more comfortable and pleasant. The carpet should always bo tacked on tho inside of tho door, that it may not interfere with the opening and closing of the door.—Montreal Star.

Parisian Read Gear.

Mmj. Wcatherby, a noted London milliner, asserts that the most excellent and refined taste in head gear is now reigning supreme in Paris. Tho days of formidable towering feathered monstrosities are past, and the new bonnets are most simple and unexagg^rated. Tho modern theatre goer should doff his hat to Damo Fashion, who has abolished the Eiffel tower tendency and established the reign of what might'be called tho Queen Anne style of architecture in bonnets. Tho nearer a hat or bonnet resembles the proverbial pancake, the mono correct and swell it is considered. In toques only the slightly ruffle^ brim, and in large hats only the ribbons, are slightly raised, and bewitching little low capotes are raised a little by the upward slant of a stiff wing. .Brimsof a different color from the crowns aro quite the thing, and, e.wpt ia the few largo felt shapes with low crowns and wide br tho narrower they are the better.-—age. r" *5 lib Unpardonable Sin.

It is as good to be awakened to the beauty and culture to be found in

When a house contains a stately drawing room, formal in its elegance an uncomfortable reception room in the highest stylo of the upholsterer's art a cold and barren music room, carpeted for the music's sake a library, formidable and unapproachable, with its tier on tier of crowded and dusty book shelves a long, corridor like picture gallery hung, with too many works of art to know and love—where is the home? Ah! surely it will be found in somebody's bedroom, with great sunny windows and flowering plants there will easy chairs flourish and the reign of comfort be found. "Why is it that somehow or other we all get into this room?" will come to be a joke in that family, unless the overwhelming importance of great wealth has crowded out all sense of humor from their lives.

And in smaller but pretentious homes in great cities there is something of the same desolation, for rarely does any one really live on the first floor. The great front .room, long and narrow, with the pleasantest windows in the house, the very place which should by all means be the living room, is furnished far too grandly for daily family^ use, and, like the keeping, room of our grand-" mothers, is kept sacred to the visitor.

For. beauty arid comfort and enjoyment and home, give me the house that somebody lives in who knows how to live—with one great apartment which is sitting room and library combined, where there is space enough for the piano, even if it be a grand, and a cozy tete-a-tete corner screened off, where a bay window is full of plants, and books and pictures are everywhere,'like the memory of well loved friends, always with us room in which the couch is a real one, wide and soft, with quantities of cushions, and the chairs suggest comfort in their every outline—where the* big library table, well furnished, gives evidence oi intarcommunion with the outer world and work,b^ketsa,pd magazine ri

The old idea that money lavished broadcast was the necessary fertilizer to produce beautiful interiors has been exploded, and the proof is the answer to a question which may be safely put to all the world "Do you see the most charming and attractive rooms among the richest people of your acquaintance?' That the answer will be in the negative is as certain as it is natural—for riches bring great, many roomed houses, which in themselves are impediments to that atmosphere of homeness which must at once appeal to the senses or the realization of beauty is chilled and must ever remain unappreciated.
