'The Woman of Tact—Courtship or Ixrd Barton—Servant Girls In a City Flat. Tho Fireside's Irnprc*f»liro»—Women

Writer* of the Weittrn Pre**.

There in nothing that men of society dislike so much or criticise so freely as untidiness In a woman. Slovenly details in the way of shoes, gloves, ties, etc.. are always noticed and commented upon, and to say a woman is "smart" and "well turned out" is to give the highest meed of praise In their vocabulary. Very expensive clothes are not at all necessary to insure masculine approbation. On the contrary, the simplest toilets are the most admired if the fit and style are good and if the accessories are carefully comddered, and, above all, if the gown is fresh and unBoiled.

There is something quite fascinating about a daintily shod foot peeping in and out among the "frills of her petticoat," and nowadays expense need be no obstacle, as the pretty suede shoes, black and white and tan and gray, are very reasonable in price. Even a girl who is far from wealthy can easily afford several pairs to wear on special occasions, while her leathers, tan and black, can so easily be kept brilliantly clean by the right sort of polish.

A man also is more apt to admire style than beauty. A girl who is "chic" and dresses effectively is generally much more of a belle than her more beautiful sister, who perhaps relies too much on her prettiness for her attractions. After all is said and done, clothes are and will remain one of the chief factors of our existence, the tailor making the man and the dressmaker the woman as far as externals go. Humiliating as it may seem, a becoming or an unbecoming gown often influences destiny more than women, much as they love clothes, dream of. "What is the matter with women's skirts ,for the last year or two that they are always open behind at the waist?" asked a hypercritical youth the other day. "I never saw anything like it. Last Sunday in church three girls were sitting in the pew In front of me, and I assure you not one

Was tidily put together at the waist. Now, your waist and skirt never come apart," he continued, addressing his companion. "Pray, how do you manage itf I should really like to tell my sisters, who are always coming apart" "They will not thank you for quoting me to them," laughed his companion, "but unless things are sewed together there is only one way, and that is to wear the band of the skirt very tight otherwise it is sure to sag below the belt. And besides this, thero should be two sets of hooks and eyes, go that there is a good lap. Tell your sisters to try thtse two essentials, and I am quito sure that they will have no more ^rouble,"—Now Ygk Tribune.

The Woman Who Ha* Tact.

Thero is nothing that carries a woman so far toward tho goal of social success as tact. She may not possess those qualities necessary for leadership, but sho will have no difficulty in securing so firm a foothold that sho need have no dread of a greater power dawning upon the social horizon. The reason for this is that in reality tact is but another word for goodness of heart, and innate kindness to all must be the keystone that the woman of the world builds the castles of her ambition upon.

The tactful woman always says and does the right thing at the right time. She never wounds by these gaucheries which all unintentionally, yet nevertheless painfully, remind us of things we had rather have forgotten or tells us unpleasant truths that are uo less bitter because we know that there is no donying them.

Trtct posses over overy faux pas and somehow manages to convert them into something pleasant before tho embarrassed perpetrator has a chance to raise a blush at his own awkwardness. All graces of mind and body seem embodied in that ono word, for a woman may bo painfully plain, yet with this virtue she becomes radiantly lovely in tho eyes of those whom her consummate art has rescued from some dire strait.

She may bo poor, but to those about her the richness of her naturo atones for the lack of worldly wealth. Her gowns may be dowdy, but as she dwells among us she appears to be clothed in garments of radiant light, and it would bo a brave spirit indeed that dared to cavil at tho makeup of a woman whoso gracious presence and tactful- nylrit luwl spared them many a period of embarrassment. Above all virtues cultivate tact, for in it Ilea the secret of all others.—Chicago Tribune.

Tho Courtship of Lord Burton. In Lady Burton's life of her husband Burton's courtship of his wife Is very prettily told. It was one of signs and portents and of much opposition on the part of her family, who thought he was not her equal in racial position, and who in any case objected to his supposed want of faith. But the lady had made up her mind. It was in «ome sort Othello's courtship—she loved him for the dangers he had passed, and he loved her that she did pity them. At length the lady wsoto a decisive letter to her mother. "He is the only being who awes me into respect, and to whose command I bow my head, and any evil opinion* you may have heard of him arise from hi* recklessly setting at defiance conventional people, talking nonsense about religion and heart and principle, which those who do not know him unfortunately take seriously, And he anvuses himself with watching their stupid faces. "Once he is married to me he will be the favorite of our family, and you will all be proud of him and have Implicit xmfidcnc ih him- And let mo tell you another thing —you and my father are immensely proud of your families, and we are taught to be the same, but from the present to the fit bare 1 believe that our proudest record tvili ,b« our alliance with Richard Burton, 1 existvege- _. rowing, vagabond life I am young, strong

Shd hamy, with good nerves I like toughing it, and I always want to do something ag and spirited. You will certainly nt it it you keep me tied up." Finally „... iinal Wiseman's Intervention smoothed away all difficulties

day, and a dark cell to sleep in. She must usually sit in the kitchen. The kitchen, besides being small and superheated, looks out upon a dark, narrow, lifeless court, or perhaps flat against a blank brick wall a few feet away. Now remember that the average girl has no mental resources such aa people of liberal education en joy. She cannot sit down and read absorbing books or otherwise employ her leisure moments. She cannot see anything on the street. She can't bear anything going on in the house. To all intents and purposes she is in the penitentiary, for she has a cell and hard work only as alternatives. "It is a cell and hard work, hard work and a cell—solitary confinement in some families, for some mistresses talk very little to their servant and say less before her. The girl has the relief of her day out, butif she is in the habit of associating with other servants the weekly comparison of notes is apt to make her still more unhappy when she returns to her lonely cell on Sunday night. She can scarcely be seriously blamed if she wants a change. The kindness of the mistress, the comparatively easy work, the fair wages, often fail to balance the dread: ful loneliness and other misery of such an existence."—New York Herald.

The Fireside'* Impressions.

The fireside is a seminary of infinite importance. It is important because it is universal, and because the education it bestows, being woven in with the woof of childhood, gives form and color to the whole texture of life. There are few who fjtn receive the honors of a college, but all are graduates of the hearth. The learning of the university may fade from the recollection, its classic lore may molder in the balls of memory, but the simple lessons of home enameled upon the heart of childhood defy tho rust of years and outlive the more mature but less vivid picture of after years. So deep, so lasting indeed are the impres-' sions of early life, that you often see a man in the imbecility of age holding fresh in his recollection the events of childhood, while all the wide space between that and thft present hour is a blasted and forgotten waste.

You have perchance seen an old and half obliterated portrait, and in the attempt to have it cleaned and restored you may have teen it fade away, while a brighter and more perfect picture, painted beneath, is revealed to view. This portrait, first drawn upon the canvas, Js no inapt illustration of you, and though it may be concealed by some after design still the original traits will shine through the outward picture, giving it tone while fresh and surviving it In decay. Such is the fireside—the great institution of Providence for the education of man.—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Women Writer* of the Western Pre**. It has often been observed that in the eastern cities women sent out on night details are compelled to go unattended, while here in San Francisco, if a woman is sent out at all on.g detail fhgt to vol v^ the least exposure fo the rough element, she is provided with an escort. Indeed in San Francisco and other western cities women are not often assigned to other night work than that of dramatic and society reporting or lecture and association reporting,

Few women are employed on the daily press in San Francisco. The Call has one woman on its staff The Chronicle employs one woman, but it is an innovation The Examiner employs two and sometimes three women The Post, The Bulletin and The Report have no women on the regular staff The News Letter employs one, The Wasp three, The Argus one and The West End one. The press of the west is uniformly courteous to women workers and their efforts in the right direction.

With its support, the newspaper women of tho Pacific slope have broader possibilities and opportunities than any other similar association in the country, for the reason that the west is young and its condition formative, and the progress they are poking is indicative that they are taking every advantage of their situation.—Californian.

Health In Bare Feet.

As to the healthiness of going without shoes or stockings there can be no question. Some of the healthiest children in the world are found in the Scottish highlands, where shoes are seldom worn at an earlier age tlJhn 12 and 13. The negro and cooly laborers, who work barefooted, are usually in robust health. Brown, in the "History of Man," tells of an African monarch who suffered from what appeared to have been a cold In his head, besides other ailments, while his people were always as well as possible. Can it be that the reason was that, by the laws of bis kingdom, he alone was permitted to clothe his feet, and that he gratified his vanity by always wearing gorgeous sandals?

It is probably generalising too much to state as a medical fact that the barefooted races are the healthiest. But it is certain that bare feet are healthier than badly shod feet. In our English village children are constantly sent to school in wet weather with holes in their shoes. They sit for hours with damp feet, and illnesses are the result. If their parents would send them off barefooted, as is done in Scotland and Ireland, their feet would dry by evaporation in a short time, Mid it would be found that no harm followed.—London Hospital.

Every Girl Should Work.

Mrs. Lillian Plunkett of tho San Francisco Women's Press association writes: A girl should be drained to be self supporting just as carefully aa a boy and taught to look upon marriage aa a happy possibility, but not the end and aim of her existence. Many women are physically unsuited to be mothers of a race. Must they therefore lead idle, purposeless lives, dependent on fathers or brothers for support?

Women should be treated with courtesy and consideration, but they need not be treated like hothouse plants and denied the experience that business contact with the world would bring. Could any woman with a particle of ambition or energy be content to depend upon relations for support if sho were left a widow without means? A&A what if there were little ones to provide for?

There is nothing whkh can so broaden a woman's mind and bring her to a realising sense of the struggles of humanity as pergonal association in business With the breadwinners of the community in which the lives. I respect and admire the girl or woman who earns her daily bread in preference to a life of laxy dependence.

Seqaals Meaalea. '"***s*

Is it not generally believed that injury to the sight and hearing ia-the danger most to be guarded against in cases of measles? Ye* aa much to be feared as cither of these dimsase of the lungs, a* more or less bronchitis exist* in nearly ail cases of measles. This danger to an additional reason why qrery precaution should be taken to keep the patient from catching cold. A doctor verf noowfol in his treatment of childraa'sdiseases often prwcribea a k»g course of ood liver oil for weakly ehfldrai after a iwiwe attack of measles Be also advises

parents while exercising great care not to carry their watchfulness and care so far that they "make hothouse plants of their children." In order to avoid another serious turn that the disease sometimes takes, that of diarrhea, the diet must be carefully watched dui-iDgconvalescenceand the watch against cold continued.—New York Post.

Old Fashioned Seed Cakes.

These are easily made by any one who Via^» mastered the mysteries of rolling out a cooky. a cupful of butter with two supfuls of sugar. Add half a cupful of water, three well beaten eggs and twotablespoonfuls of caraway seeds. Put two cupfuls of pastry flour In a sieve with a teagpoonful and a half of baking powder. Stir this and then add another cupful of sifted flour. This should

make

a batter almost

as stiff as dough. Turn it out on a floured board, sprinkle it with flour and roll it out until it is about an eighth of an inch thick. Cut these cakes out in rather large cookies and bake them in a moderately quick oven. They should be crisp, like an old fashioned gingersnap, and will improve with keeping. If you wish them soft, as some people do, keep them in a stone jar in a cold place, but if you wish them crisp keep them in a tin box in a perfectly dry but not a hot place. S

j,! Japanese Women. Japanese women cannot be vain, for they never wear ewelry. In China every wonian wears earrings, but no Japanese woman ever had her ears pierced. Japanese women are shocked, too, at the immodesty of Eun pean ladies who appear in public with their arms and shoulders uncovered. The Japanese lady of rank thinks nothing of tucking her kimona up to her knees in rainy weather and her petticoat as well, though her stockings reach scarcely above her ankles. And the Japanese working woman will slip off the kimona and other garments to her waist when she is heated or hindered by her clothing at her toil, but exposure for the sake of exposure, from motives of vanity, is unknown among the women of the mikado's kingdom.—Mrs. itaujse/Fa«an.

Keeping Lemonade "Just Bight." At a lawn party the lemonade table came in for most generous praise. Throughout the hours of the entertainment the huge punch bowl, packed with ice, ladled forth a rich, refreshing drink that never weakened into the insipid iced sotu- water that fair lemonade is apt to become after the first hour. Tl?e presiding genius of the lemonade stall was a well known New York woman, and to an inquiry as to how she so well kept up the standard of her wares she replied, showing a quart jar of clear lemon juice, "I keep one or two or more of these in reserve and add it by cupfuls as the ice weakens the drink, putting in more sugar, powdered of course, constantly." And the result was pef£ection lemonade at all hours. —New York Times.

To Mend Tortoise Shell.

Two broken pieces of tortoise, shell can be fixed together by filing the edges down with a rasp till each piece has an edge like a chisel. These two edges are then made to overlap one another, and after softening in boiling water are held together in a clamp or vise and heated. The heating must be very carefully done so as to avoid warping or otherwise damaging the rest of the article. Be sure that it is tortoise shell. A vast amount of tortoise shell 1s in reality only celluloid or xylonite, and the application of beat to this will distort it all also it is inflammable, not to say explosive. Imitation tortoise shell can be cemented with acetone.—London Queen.

English Mourning Etiquette. The period of mourning for' a father-in^ law is 13 months—10 months black. 2 months half mourning—crape Is seldom worn, although the crape period was formerly 6 months. For a parent the period is tho same as above. The longest period for a brother is 6 months—5 months black, month half mourning. The crape period was formerly 8 months it is now almost discarded. The shortest period is 4 months black, no half mourning. We may remark that the period of mourning for a father-in-law is often shortened to 6 months when relatives reside at a considerable distance from each other.—Exchange. *J

An Aotive Woman.

One of the most active women clergy in this country is the Rev. Amanda Deyo, pastor of the All Souls' Universalis! church of Scranton, Pa. Mrs. Deyo is the corresponding secretary of the Universal Peace union and was its delegate to the international peace congress and the Paris exposition in 1888. She is interested in the Dutchess County Peace society, of which she was the organizer in 1875, is a temperance lecturer, and in addition to this preaches three times each Sunday and attends to all the regular work of the ministry.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Premature Young Women.

It is one of the greatest mistakes of people of moderate means to make their little girls up into young ladies before they are half grown. Childhood and girlhood are too desirable to fritter away in a medley of clothes, fussiness, ceremony and worry about personal appearance. The time spent on such things is much better used if given to study, the improvement of the mind and the care of the body, with exercise and amusement to keep them in healthy cobdition.—New York Ledger.

What the Children Will Like.

A variation to the everlasting cornstarch pudding of the nursery is suggested in the following: Boil 2 pounds of currants and a pound of raspberries in a quart of water for 10 minutes, strain and leave the liquid to beoome cold, then use it instead of milk to make a mold of corn flour in the ordinary way. The children will demolish it with extraordinary gusto. The raspberries.add a purplish tinge. If you want a brilliant colored mold, use red curranta only.

A WORD OF PROTEST.

A PESSIMISTIC VIEW OF THE BUSINESS WOMAN'S DILEMMA.

The Chief Fault With Woman's Work, According to One Wri&r, Is Its Fllmsiness and Insincerity—How Woman's Dress

Influences Her Success.

By direct statement, written and oral, and by implication, I have been made to feel guilty during the past seven days.

It has been pointed out, gently but firmly, that even if one does not believe in the capitalization of woman it is common prudence to pretend to do so in order not to lay one's self open to the charge of lack of consideration for the sex.

In the humble opinion of a hardworking woman, women would succeed better in all branches of industry if less consideration were extended to them.

About six years ago I rejoiced in my first newspaper "assignment." I was sent to interview a woman—she itf now dead— whom for her character, talent and achievements I had long worshiped afar off. This idol was about to entitle herself to a new pedestal. My paper wanted a pedestal story. The Idol refused to give it to me. She sent me away shamod, humiliated, that I should have dared to think a really, truly, absolutely genuine and no bargain counter imitation idol would talk about her throne seat or the chances of getting more and higher steps to it.

I lay awake and adored the idol that night, Next morning in my mail I found a check for money to pay for several hundred copies of the edition that should contain the story the idol assumed I would have the common sense to write, she having taken it for granted that I had the wisdom to see she was talking for "buncombe" and meant not one word of the fine things about hating newspaper publicity she had so glibly rattled off to me.

This was a dash of cold water upon the warm enthusiasm of a woman who had begun newspaper work with the single purpose of putting into print the progress of women.

Nevertheless I persevered. For four or flve.years I know myself to have been the most industrious collector in the city of items about women's work,especially in new lines. I believe myself to have been the best informed woman in the city about women's industries, not in detail in any one branch, but in general, overlooking the whole field

I have substantial grounds for an opinion when I say a second time that, always reckoning out exceptional individuals, woman's work in its more conspicuous phases is apt to be flimsy—more show and newspaper paragraph than substance—and in its obscurer lines its main characteristics area not more than average faithfulness and conspicuous lack of ambition.

This is not set down for any particular love of setting it down, but because it is time it was said.

Woman's work won't b& good work and can't be good work so long as woman maintains the^attitude of little Jack Horner, who put in his thumb and pulled out a plum and cried, "Oh, what a great boy am I."

What are the exchanges for woman's work doing? Trying to induce people to buy pretty rubbish made by women who don't know how to make anything that people need.

What are the women's clubs doing? Giving women a fine time, which is more than all right, and inducing a peculiar belief in the growing wisdom of the sex in general and the club members in particular by "papers" and long winded discussions upon nearly everytWng that is not of interest to a wideawake nineteenth century human.

What are those women doing who propose through various committees to clean up the city and regenerate it in various ways, physically and morally?

Talking to themselves and to other people who haven't so much time. What is the woman doing who has her living to earn?

Fretting because she does not get a man's wages and usually not earning them. If she's of the industrious sort, she's paying tithe of mint, anise and cummin and neglecting the weightier matters 6f the lawfussing over trifles where a man would bo mastering principles.

What's the reason that saleswomen are rude in dry goods stores, that girls behind telegraph and soda counters flirt when they ought to be attending to your requests, that typewriter girls are weak on geography and spelling, and that factory girls faipt in the a a a 5

It's partly clothes. Is there any help? Not in sight at the present time. Can you expect common sense of a woman whose street dresses trail? Can you expect common sense of a woman whose street dress doesn't trail?

In other words, can a woman be physically sound and wholesome who violates every law of hygiene in the dressing of her body? Or can a woman be mentally sound and wholesome who violates every law of custom in the dressing of her body?

The corset question is a good many hundred years old, but here is a little illustration of the difference it makes. A woman who does not wear corsets and who does upon occasion work 12 hours per day tells me that she bought some silk blouses a few weeks ago, and It occurred to her that it would not be seemly to appear in one of them without a close fitting arrangement under it. So she procured—save the murk —a "dress reform" waist, with just a few whalebones. She went without her dinner for two or three days before she discovered what was the matter then she went home sick. In a day or two she polled herself together without the bony garment—wril

She makes her choice, and she knows it, between physical oomfort with mental discomfort, and mental comfort with physical discomfort. The two disagreeables it is impossible to escape from at the same time.

It's not wise to pretend to be a badness woman when yon are outraging every business principle of digestion, and it's certainly not wise to pretend to be a business woman when you are outraging every conventionality upon which business success very largely depends.

Is there any escape from the horns o{ this dilemma? I do not know of any. Women must beas robust as mean if they are to compete with men in the battle of life. Women cannot be as robust aa men if they dress Uke women.

If women go into the fight, they are foolish not to go in with a wilL If women go into the fight, they are foolish to unsex themselves. One runs against aaiump in «Uh«dfaeetkm.—Elfaea Putnam Heaton in New York Recorder.

PICKLING AND HKtSERVlNG.

Some of the Methods Suggested by Good Honsobeepint* or Putting Away Fruit. Pickles, preserves and marmalades,

Jellies and jams, housewifely aids. The matter of pickling, preserving, canning and otherwise using the available products of summer and autumn is a large, a very large one hence a few suggestions made at this time may be Welcome. The peach is a favorite with most housewives, for if of good quality and properly handled it may be depended upon for flavor and attractiveness. Here is a recipe for preserving peaches: |p

The peaches and sugar, of equal weight, are put into thejkettle in layers —beginning and endin^with a layer of sugar. Set over the fire, and a pint of water to each 4 pounds of fruit and sugar is added. The sirup is brought to a boil, which continues for half an hour, when the peaches are taken carefully out and put on a flat dish in the strn. The gimp is boiled down till It is thick and clear, when the peaches are put back and boiled till they look clear, when the whole is ready for putting into the cans, which are sealed when cool.

A dark rich jelly may be made with damson plums, which are to be stoned and skinned. The proportion of sugar is "pound for pound," and the uiixtare is to be stewed as for jam. While it is stewing crack a few of the stones, peel the kernels and stew them among the fruit, to which.they give a pleasant flavor suggestive of almonds. The cooking will be done in 20 minutes, when the mixture is poured into molds, the top being covered with white paper which has been dipped in brandy.

For pineapple marmalade use a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit, and chop the pineapple into as fine bits as possible after peeling and coring it. Mix the sugar with it, and in the morning cook it for about half an hour. At the end of this time it should be soft enough to put through a puree sieve. Strain it in this way and return it to the preserving kettle. Continue cooking it, stirring it constantly, until it is a clear, amber colored paste, which becomes firm when it is cold. It will take about half or threequarters of an hour longer. Cool it in earthen jars.

Use only ripe fruit for peach pickles. Weigh after peeling, and for each 10 pounds of peaches take a quart of vinegar, 4J pounds of sugtir and as much mace, cloves and cinnamon or whatever spice is preferred as will give the desired flavor. Lay the peeled peaches upon the sugar for an hour then drain off the sirup thus formed and add a cupful of water. Bring this to a boil and skim as long as any scum rises then put in the peaches, boil for five minutes and lay them upon flat dishes to cool. When cool, put them into jars. In the meantime add the vinegar and spices to the sirup, boil gently for 15 minutes and then pour it over the fruit in the jars. Protect from the atmosphere in an approved manner s,j^

An Artilleryman In Skirts. village of Southall was tho sceri"f a curious incident the other day. A young artilleryman who had exceeded his leave and had been classed as a deserter, baring been arrested, was being conveyed under escort to the railway station en route to the military depot, when he suddenly bolted and quidkly disappeared. For upward of an hour the sergeant and two privates scoured the neighborhood in search of their prisoner, but all in vain, and were making their way book to the station, when their attention was directed to what was apparently a closely veiled female of remarkably fine figure who was hurrying along a short distance ahead of them. The suspicions of the sergeant were at once aroused, and ordering his men to "double" the escort surprised the "lady" as she was about to cross a meadow leading into the open country. The sergeant unceremoniously raised her veil, beneath which he discovered, as be anticipated, the face of the deserter.—Pall Mall Budget. j.
