WOMAN AND HOME.

THE PROCESS OF DRY CLEANING WITH GASOLINE AT HOME. 8s&fcviari~ Th' Woman Who Pours the Tea—Equality of the fiexot—A ('harming Bedroom flow UIJJ Sleeves Originated—A Feminine iiionitistcncy—Had to Have aNew Gown.

Why, you will ruin it!" cxclaimed ray morning cailcr, coming in just as I dipped a dolicato. blue bcngaline bodice into a bowl of gasoline. "On the contrary, I shall have anew wuL.t, or ita equivalent, in a very few mo raCnts," I answered. "I knew gasoline was excellent for clean ing, but I have always simply rubbed the spots and have frequently been disappointed in being unable to eradicate a sort of 'water mark' around the cleaned spot," my friend remarked, watching with interest the dry cleaning process. Few know how genuinely practical is this method of dry cleaning at home.

I bought three gallons of gasoline at 12 cents a gallon. I had a fine organdie gown made quite elaborately upon a foundation of light blue silk. It was very much soiled, and I had thought of sending it to a cleaner, but determined to try gasoline, although I had never seen it used upon such a fabric.

I used a large washbowl and put tho dress to soak in the gasoline for about half an hour then as I soused it up and down the dirt dropped out. I hung the garment, still dripping, upon the line—it is best not to wring clothes in the dry cleaning process—and in a few moments it was dry, clean and fresh as ever.

Bcsidca this gown and the blue silk bodice I mentioned, I cleaned, with my three gallons of gasoline, a child's tan colored •wool jacket and a navy blue jacket, a pair of long vvhito suede gloves, a light gray broadcloth vest, a white silk bonnet, a stockinette cap in Roman colors, bunch of light pink velvet flowers and some silk neckties. When tho garment? were very dirty, I took fresh gasoline or else poured off the top after the dirt Inul settled in the bottom o{ tho bowl.

Many persons aro afraid to havo gasoline in the house, and indeed it is better to use it, if possible, out of doors—never in a room whero there is fire. Tho most delicately colored fabrics yield most readily, I find, to the gasoline treatment, and wool is easier to clean thari silk.

It was a surprise to me and will be to others, I think, to And that mull or organdie could thus bo cleaned. This is real ly an important item when these thin fabrics are nuido up over unwashable silks or satins.—Minneapolis Housekeeper.

Tho Woman Who Pours Out Tea. Tho woman who pours out tea is imbued with graceful tact. Her desire to appear well at an entertainment for "sweet charity's sake" is no less keen than her wish to be attractive at a purely social function. She knows how to discriminate too. Friends with thoir hands budget lmlen *v will not 1)0 apt to como arrayed in "pur pie and fine linen." Recognizing tho trim code of hospitality that one must not outshine one's guests, sho wears a stylishly made woolen gown of becoming shade, high to the throat and long to the wrists, a white embroidered apron tied about her waist. Tho touch of picturesque gowning aJio generally leaves to tho bud who dispenses tho chocolate. Tho germ of tact is likewiso hero. Tho simplo dress of heliotrope bongallno has tho neck but slightly rounded and bordered with deep cream laoe that fulls almost to tho slender wnist, lliat Is encircled by a belt of chased silver.

Tho delicato arms that reach forth tho ar .Jlstio cups, with their fragrant contents, are veiled beneath similar laco from the elbow's bond. Sho who puts tho query, "Coffee—sugar and cream?" need not "take tho text of her toilet from tho fuli bloom scarlet TOSQS strewn over tho dam ask cloth, oven if hor dobut season docs dato a llttlo back. Perhaps tho succession of social triumphs has stolen a bit of the glow from hor checks tho colors of hor toi lota may bo chosen so as to ropair tho damago in part. For her may bo suggested a bodice of poppy, red chiffon worn over a skirt of black annuro royal silk, trimmed elaborately with accordion plaiting of black chltYon. Sho should wear a coquettish apron of lace trimmed linen lawn, tied with scarlet bows, and a dainty lace cap, such as tho chocolnt lores of Paris affect, if such suits her tyjw of beauty.—Tublo Talk.

Tho Kqunllty of tho Sexes.

No other women arc allowed such wide latitude in the business world perhaps ns American women, and we aro prone to IKHove that tho equality of tho sexes can only 1)0 established by public contact iit business matters. But there is a home phase uf tiio question that appeals to com nion sense most profoundly. Kuios of business conduct, upon which the llimn clal prosperity of a nation depends, must be taught in small ways to boys and girl by mothers in the home to becomo perninnent excellencies of character that will aft erwartJ intlucnce public affairs.

While in many homes woiretv are allow ed full consideration in financial mat-tors, others are subject the humiliation of dependent obliged to leg for every neces wu-y dollar, while yet others arc placed in the equally deteriorating atmosphere o. lavish allowance without regard to where it comes from or whether the husband .ii afford it. It is difficult to decide which these two extremes is most disastrous to self lvsjRvling and worthy development of the character of those subject to such ex ample in the home. Sons brought up to regard mothers dependents will nevrr have 4 well bah .seed ense of equity in -other uiViurs of life. The man who L. taught to regard woman as a creature whose whims must- bo gmtlfled at the expense of justice and creditors will cxe^risj doubtful business morality at all t'mv when his vanity or affections are involved —Jenness Miller Monthly.

ing everything into account, there is an inac quacy in woman's wages. In the majority of occupations the average wages of a boy, a girl and a woman added together amount to those of a mar. This is largely due to competition. Men have the advan -.tage over women in seeking employment, as they are not disabled by physical weak ness, timidity or by liabilities to misconstruction, as women are.—American Jouf: nal of Politics. «r

French Mothers.

There is nothing more touching and noble in the world than the intimacy between a French mother and daughter—the mother giving to her daughter all her time, all her thought, molding her with infinite devotion, living for her alone. She accompanies her to her lessons, directs her reading, watches day and night to guard that Ideal purity which by a singular inconsequence will be sacrificed, 90 chances out of 100, to a man whose life will have been quite the contrary. The mother cannot reform marriage as it exists in France—it is an institution full of defects—but she can teach to her daughter all the virtues to meet the sorrows which almost certain ly await her.—Ladies' Home Journal.

Sugar Scissors.

Sugar scissors are not new, but they are uncommon. They are like a wide nut cracker, with one sharp edged side and a strong lever attachment. With them a cube of loaf sugar can be quickly cut, and on the tea or demitasse tray they are very useful. Silver bread and butter plates, which are small, round trays, with one point curving out to take in the butter plate, arc beautiful novelties that will add to the glitter of the table and that cost $10 each. Ice cream forks are no longer tho wide, short tlned fork alone. They are also a spoon, the bowl of which abruptly ter minatcs in a cloven point.—Exchange.

Martha Washington.

Mrs. George Washington, although an heiress and a beauty and for many years tho first lady of the land, never disdained the homely, honorable dutiesof housekeeping. She considered it a great privilege to look after tho details of her household and regarded the "state days" as lost. In her home at Mount Vernon, as in all large southern mansions, a workroom was set apart, and here every morning Mrs. Washington could be found, surrounded by marfy of her servants, superintending and assisting in thoir work.—New York Ledger.

Mrs. Ballington Booth.

Mrs. Ballington Booth resides at Montclair, N. J. She is the mother of a sturdy little son of six years and a baby girl 10 months old. Although sho is so much engaged in lecturing and other Salvation Army work, her home is well kept, and her children are healthy and sunny tempered. Mrs. Booth manages to mako her trips short, with frequent returns home, whero all her time, aside from her of ice work, is devoted to her children. "WE have such good times together!" she says —Boston Woman's Journal.

Feminine Souls.

In his "War and Culturo" Arthur Helps says: "In many things women are the .superior of men, in many things inferior— never our equals. I hold with Coleridge that there are souls masculine and feminine. If I were suddenly asked to give a proof of the goodness of God to us, I think I should say it is most manifest in the exquisite difference ho has made between tho souls of women and men so as to create the possibility of tho most comfortable and charming conpanionshlp that the mind.of a a a in

Diet, Not Drugs*

Mrs. Rorer, tho princess of cooks, hit the nail on tho head and stunned half the women at tho Now York food show when she said: "If you want your husband and children to bo well and good, diet them. Tho age is suffering from stomach trouble. I firmly believe that science will take out a bad stomach as a tonsil is removed, and the emancipated patient will live and be happy. Sick people don't want to be drugged they need to bo dieted, and the medical profession know it too."

Tho l'rincoss of Wales' Dogs. The Princess of Wales is a great lover of animals and has'so many dogs at Sandringham that sho cannot keep count of them. Every morning she goes to the ken nels, and the dogs aro let loose to welcome her. They are always'wild with delight to see her, and jump upon her so frantically as almost to knock her down. A special favorite with tho princess is Yentis, the pet dog of tho Duke of Clarence.—London Queen.

Thoroughness.

A mother should teach her daughter to bo thorough in whatever she undertaker, and Inter on she will find that one talent will gather many to itself. A smattering of anything is always dangerous, particularly In a girl. Learn less, but learn more thoroughly, should be the rule for a girl' education.—Exchange.

A Curious Feminine Inconsistency. Itisa curious inconsistency of our nature that- we women who appreciate so highly the small happinesses of life when we get them should be so much slower than men to bestow them.

It is not nice of us. It gives men a chance to say things we do not like to hear, but it is nevertheless a fact that few of us will do the little kind act for a sister woman with the same alacrity that would be observed if a man were involved. Who ever heard of the clergyman's sister or the doctor's mother receiving half or quarter of the little meaningless but pleasant attentions which are showered upon the brother or son?

It is delightful and gives one such a charming feeling of importance to be made the confidante of the troubles of some fas cinating young fellow. He is comforted, counseled and urged to come again. Excuses are made for him when he is in the dumps, and he is encouragd to dilate on the subject of his woes by the hour. Put a woman in his place, and where is our patience? She is considered a bore, is avoided, switched off on some other subject, held up as an example of what a nuisance a woman can make of herself, and finally dropped entirely.—Jessie M. Burgoyne in Donahoe's Magazine.

Had to Have aNew Gown.'

A funny story is told of a Murray Hi.l society woman who ordered a new gown for her portrait which had been painted half a dozen years ago, and, oddly enough, the artist consented to furnish it. "I ncv-i er liked the dress anyway," explained fb lively lady, who is nothing if not origimt "and I have grown tired to death of it, so,' I told Mr. that I would give him the' price of a new Worth gown if he would' turn me out In something new. At first he laughed and refused to do it, but I insisted and offered to pay his own price. I said that my portrait must absolutely wear a new dress, and if ho would not do it 1 must find sonic one else who would. This alarmed him, and he finally consented, and now my portrait is wearing my latest pet from Doucct." "I suppose in a year or two you will want it done over again," laughed her friend. "No, I don't think so. "You see, this is really becoming, and I feel quite content to show myself to posterity in a gown that I really like."—New York Tribune.

The Slate In the Kitchen.

A handy thing in a kitchen is a good sized slate. So often things that are quite neccssary are forgotten because they were not noted down, and serious annoyance is occasioned by their absence. A slate only costs 10 cents. It can be hung above th. kitchen table by a long string, and the pencil can bo attached by another. Thcs need not be removed from the wall at any time, but can be hung so as to be used eas ily. As soon as something is discoverc: lacking it should be put down. Any thin unusual that is to be done and yet might be forgotten can also be put on the sla'e. You will bo surprised to find how many steps and "Oh, I forgots" it will save in a day. It is better than paper and lead pen cil, because you can take your hands out of the dish water and write on the inrt-.r.: without waiting till you have finished.— Exchange, A

Literary Women and Dress.

"One of the changes that have struck mo forcibly in recent years," remarked a publisher recently, "is that which exists in the literary won :.a of today and her predecessor of 10 years ago. In the old days the New York woman who made her living by her pen was not a stylish even ture. That she had ink on her fingers, short hair and a rusty black costume is not strictly true, but she showed very li tie regard for the current fashions. It is very different today. Some of the bfest dressed women in this city are engaged ir: literary work. Perhaps this is due to th, fact that they make more money than came to the authoress a decade back, la whatever th* cni.^r t~ny be there has beer, a great :..t' in the outward «p pcarancc of brair.y wcmcu."—New, \ork World.

MISTAKES OF WOMEN.

MRS. KIDDER OUTLINES THEM BEFORE A WOMAN'S LEAGUE.

She Thinks the Greatest Obstacle to Woman's Progress Is Woman Herself—Quoting Rich ter, Ronsscau and Raskin—Do

Women Talk Too Much?

into fashion more than 50 years ago, they were evolved out of the shrewd consciousnest of Frenchwomen that they, would serve to diminish the apparent size of their large waists.

A French fashion writer of that period says: "When the sleeves called gigot first made their appearance, every one exclaimed against jfte bizarrerie of a fashion which not only concealed the shape of the arm, but made it appear larger than the waist., and the ladies who first wore these sleeves, lined with buckram for the purpose of puffing them out, appeared as if each shoulder were inclosed in a balloon. Still this singular style of sleeve became very gen eral and no longer appeared ridiculous. From custom its elegance was admitted even by those who first ridiculed it. We yielded to tho authority of the greater number, and it would have been ridiculous not to follow a fashion almost universal."

In an address upon "The Mistakes of Women,' delivered before the Professional Woman's league of New York, Mrs. Kidder said:

Considering tlie title of my address, you might infer that it would be of short dura tion—for lack of material—for I know we all like to have it thought that we make no mistakes, or at least but few.

Women have the mistaken idea that men are opposed to their advancement. Now, really, they are not. In fact, I do not believo they think very much about it. They just go on calmly, and we make all the fuss about it. Women may come out and expand in tho sunlight of her public progress, but I believe she loses just a little of the perfume of her womanhood, just as flowers grow more gorgeous in the sun, but lack the delicate perfume of those that bloom more in the shade. The shade for woman is in the path of quiet, intellectual progress.

Perhaps the greatest obstacle to the progress of woman is woman herself. Not that women want to be unjust or ungenerous, but they have for so long occupied themselves with petty things, havo so long been content to run along on the sub merged intellectual trolley which man laid out for them years ago that it is hard for them to break from its restraining grasp. The best way to prove that we have our eyes open is to be thorough in what we do. How can we expect to compete with men unless we can do our work as well as they? The women who do things in a slap and dash way, any-way-to-get-through-it style are the ones who stir up the sands over which competent workers often stumble. Another class of obstructors are those who appeal to the sympathy of their employers. We must be content to have our work stand or fall on its merits solely. How little can woman claim of equality with man when she falls ro far short in every way of fulfilling nobly her own special privileges? How little qualified, as a rule, is she for flfcr highest and noblest province—motherhood!

People ask, Where aro the men and women of the future? I answer, In the cradle of the present. Does not that appeal to us to be thoughtful in this matter? Every woman who marries should hope to be a mother some day. If I had a boy. 1 should want to vote, for every mother should be able to do the things her children can. It is a sad spectacle to ace children better educated than their parents. It is a double edged knife. There is an old saying that boys take after their mothers and girls after their fathers. Perhaps €his is why women know so much. Another mistake women make is loving too much. Love is beautiful, divine, when deserved, but women take too much on trust. They are too apt to give $10 in change for a $1 bill. T^hey trust too much individually and not enough generally. With men it is the other way.

I have three R's, not "reading, 'ritirr: and 'rithmetic," but Richter, Rousseau and Buskin, who placed womanhood so high.

Richter says: "The mother educates. Men govern alid earn the glory, and the thousand watchful nights and the sacrifices by which a mother purchases a poet or a hero for the state are forgotten, nob once counted, for the mothers themselves do not count them."

Rousseau id vises: "If you would have men great and virtuous, impress upon the minds of women what greatness and virtue are. Men will be what women make them." Ruskin says: "No man ever lived a great life who has not been chastened by a woman's love, strengthened by her cour age and guarded by her discretion."

The very best way for women to get any chanco they seem to lack is to go on just as they always have done. They have made such good progress in this way—better than hey con ever make by trying to change their dress and bccoino mannish. We can't get away from man, and I fo: one rcjoico heartily that such is the case. But we want to stand by his side as his recognized equal, not merely his equal. There is a difference in that. You remember "Looking Backward." Edward Bella my did it—a man. Now, Lot's wife did it, too, ami we all know what happened to her. She was transformed into the very cheapest commodity ixi the market. If she had been turned into sugar, we might lu v:: appreciated the compliment to our sex. But. even as it was we csn take comfort in her humiliation in the knowledge thateven in her abasement she was still abso lutcly indispensable.

Women make a mistake in not taking enough rest. The memory of duty they low to murder their sleep. Another mis take is not eating as they should, and per haps the greatest mistake is in worrying. They cannot wait for events to shape them reives. I always think of the old woman who said, "Yes, dear, I had awful lots of trouble—but most of it never happened."

Is It a mistake that we talk too much? It is said women talk—men act. Well, men have had the opportunity. When a woman has happened to drop into history, she has had to have her head cut off to do It. Yet remember that while silence is the mantle of the sage it is^also the ssy lum of the idiot.

Woman should cultivate more her scn.se of humor. She makes a mistake in in being more checrful. Cheerfulness is ay contagious as yellow fever. I think we pay very little attention to our mental toilet. Cheerfulness springs from a reposeful habit of the mind. It is not the things we do, but it is the things we are anxious to get at, that give us nervous prostration. We make a sad mistake in remembering past errors. We should cultivate the art of intelligent forgetting. Habit is a powerful factor in our lives. I believe that telling the truth is as much a matter of habit as a matter of morals. People who are mentally slovenly are harder to deal with and reform than those who are physically unkempt- or unwashed.

I used to think that If I did what 1 should it made no difference what my thoughts were, but I see the fallacy of that belief now. We must think good thoughts, always and always. One bad mistake wo make is to take offense, as we do, over little things done to us by our own sex. We cherish them and allow them to rankle Men arc not nearly so apt to remember trifling offenses from one of themselves But, everything considered, women have done remarkably well. It is hard to appear level when standing on crooked ground, and we will stand there until we gain civic lights—until we, like men, have "representation" as well as "taxation."

A ROMANCE IN IT.

Ait Interesting Contest In the Land Office, and the Young Woman Wins. The final decision of the secretary of the interior in the land case of Francis L. Box and Jerry Damrnon against Jessie M. Sinclair has been received. The case was tried in the local land office in 1891. The decision was in favor of Miss Sinclair. Box and Damrnon appealed, and the commissioner of the general land office affirmed the decision of the local office Aug. 22, 1892. Both defeated parties again appealed to the secretary, who has now confirmed the commissioner's decision in favor of Miss Sinclair.

It is seldom there is a tinge of romance about a land office case. There is in this one. Miss Sinclair, whose home was at Durand, was a schoolteacher. Her affections had been gained by a worthy young man whose home is not far from the Sinclairs in Pepin county. Both were poor. She determined to do her part in giving herself and her future husband a start, and with this purpose she settled on the land in question, a portion of the famous watt reserve territory. The land she gets is worth about $4,500, having valuable pine on it._ The young lady's friends state the wedding will take place in the near future. Secretary Hoke Smith's decision has settled that.— Eau Claire (Wis.) Special.

Black Moire In Fashion.

Black moire promises to be in high favor this spring and comes in many new and rich designs. A black moire skirt made perfectly plain is one of the most useful things imaginable, and an old jacket with sleeves and bretelles of moire antique may bo made to look very smart, indeed. Very narrow white guipure or black jet or a combination of the two are the trimmings just now in the height of fashion.
