BAB'S LETTER.

THE NEW CZARINA'S EFFECT ON THE FASHIONS.

The Problem of the Woman Who Halt Needs Work—A Splendid Field for Onr Girl*—One of the Foundations of love. [Copyright, 1894.]

The advent of a new Czar has made everything Russian again fashionable. Womankind has always had a leaning for the land of snow beoause it is essentially the land of luxury. Women like to think of wrapping themselves up in black sables and being warm and lovely and comfortable, while the rest of the world is shivering. That is where the woman is very like the oat. Haven't you seen Mistress, the pet oat, warm herself thoroughly in front of the tire, eat something good and then sit on the window sill and llok her chops for the benefit of the poor starving Toms who are out in the cold? But to return to Russia. Which, they say, everybody does who has ever been there. The fact that the new Czarina is going to have blue, green and yellow silk stockings has made these colors fashionable, and the woman who is in the swim tells -with glee of the many colors that she possesses in the fine silk, and how perfectly they fit, being made so that the large toe has a separate stall for itself, and the rest of the foot fits in the lower part of the garment. For inasmuoh as the stocking reaches almost to one's waist, it can truthfully enough be called a garment.

ROYAL HOUSEWIFERY.

How many of the women who imitate the pretty Princess in her extravagance will imitate her in her housewifely virtues? It is said that she can cook a good dinner, that she is expert at sewing a long seam, and that she joys in doing bits of fine embroidery or knitting, not bits of lace, not untidy tidies, bat good warm stockings, warranted to keep comfortable the feet of the poor and the hard-working. There is a great deal in having these womanly accomplishments. They become suoh a refuge for ofi"e. Just think of the joys and sorrows that the Une cambric needle sews in the long seam. Think as you place the needle each time, what a refuge it is, and how, beoause you must watch it, your lips are closed and you do not say the unkind words that otherwise would be so easy. We, who haven't titles, are rather inclined to think o! titled people as sitting on tuflets and doing nothing but drinking curds and whey all the day long.

Why, if you will take the trouble to read the history of the mother of the young Princess Allx, you will see that

SHE HAD TO ECONOMIZE

just as does the wife of any clerk that the baby's long dresses were made into short ones, and that the present of a little money from her mother was not only gladly accepted, but It was used to furnish the dining-room with new chairs. The history of this gentle lady makes good reading for discontented women, for they see then how, although she was among the high and mighty of the earth, she had to think and plan and manage so that her own family might make a proper appearance. You, who are discontented, get this book and read it, and I think sympathy will take the place of discontent until you begin to remember the good that has been given to you, and not that of which you have been deprived.

Just now the most interesting people in New York are those who, by aid of social magnets, by the help of money, and by clever advertising, are getting into the swim. Money will not always do It. There must be the helping band,

and there must be the continual report of gorgeouaness possessed. Then com menoes the striving. The keen desire to be invited to this house, the eagerness to receive a bow from some woman whose social position is fine, and the continual craving to be talked about and written up. This was never so well dis played as at the Horse Show. There, women sat in their boxes

TO BB STARED AT,

to be talked about, and to have their frocks desoribed in the morning papers No matter how people may look at it, is coarse, it is vulgar, and some of the bloom Is taken off the peaoh when a woman so entirely beoomes public property that men and women stare at her in the most open manner and oritioiae her in perfeotly audible tones.

The most conspicuous woman at the recent Woman Show, for that is what it amounted to, was Mrs. George Mould, and men and women didn't hesitate to discuss v^ho she was and who she had been as they stood in front of her box and looked at her. Men remembered when she was the favorite aotress at Daly's Theater, and told the parts they had seen her take. Women

PUT UP THEIR LORGNETTES'

and stared at her, wondered as to who made her frook, and as to whether she was having a good time. To me, it seemed horrible but, evidently, she liked it, or she wouldn't have submitted to it. Undoubtedly, her stage training stood her in good stead, for it made her able to face a large audience, and a very critical one. We used to be more oareful about (Air women. Men liked to believe that the beauty and the charm were kept for those who were near and dear, and for the immediate set in whioh one went, but nowadays the women have taken the reins, and they are so hungry for admiration that it is welcome from anybody, and may oome in any form. Somebody wonders what the next generation will belike. Perhaps it will be exactly the opposite. The oyole will swing just as far as it can go, and then it will come back with a rush, and the well-bred, quiet, well-dressed and well-mannered woman will be oounted the one whom it is most desirable |to know.

UGLY HEADGEAR.

The bonnets are gradually getting further and further back on the head, until they seem to be nothing but a bit of glittering stuff with a oouple of strings. They are not pretty. Nothing is beautiful that doesn't live up to its intention, and a bonnet is supposed to oover the top of the head, and suggest that it is keeping it warm. On the other side, just now, they are wearing a prim little Dutch cap that fits olose over the skull, though it permits the hair to show in front, and Is as quaint and odd-looking as possible.

Within the last week there has come to me another woman who wants to make her living with her pen. She is not clever she does not write well, and she will not succeed at it, but she must earn her own living. I gave her Bome good advice straight out from the shoulder. I don't think she will take it. But am going to use her to point out a moral. There area number of things she can do, and do well but she announces at the very beginning that she will be nobody's servant. As if we weren't all

SOMEBODY'S SERVANTS.

Servants to each other, and servants to the highest Majesty of all. Now, this womau is sympathetic, pleasant, quiok with her needle, and delighted about taking care of one. As a maid, she would be a sucoess, and would make money, for she would have an opportunity to save her wagea. Yes I call them "wages," for that is what we all get for our work. And American maids are what women who can afford to keep them want. A maid usually has her meals to herself, is politely treated, has to pay no board, can save tQuch, and in her work has many presents given to her. But no this woman would rather stand in a store, get starvation wages, have to spend all her money to keep herself, and when she is old or sick, be forced to depend on charity.

An English maid does her duty for a while and is tolerably well-behaved, but after she has been six months in this enlightened country, she beoomes decidedly insolent, and as she aids yon to dress, refers to the duchesses and counteases with whom she has condescended to live before she came to you, a mere commoner. She reads your letters and knows exactly how mnoh money you have. If you should happen to have a slight misunderstanding with her and request her to retire, take my advice and have her trunk searched before she leaves, and like a good girl, tell yonr husband everything she knows about you, else she will start a little game of blackmail after her departure.

The Frenoh maid stays just long enough to get acquainted with American habits, and then she marries the cook and opens a small restaurant, or else she goes in the hair-dressing business and solicits your custom. I used to have great belief in the Irish, but an experience with a maid of that nationality has shattered my faith. After her departure, she wrote a letter to every person who had ever visited at the house, and told private matters that had been discussed when merely the family were lunching together. There area number of women in New York who are so en* tirely in the

POWER OK THEIR AJD8

that they dare not discharge them. A woman whose name is known al! over the oountry got her maid to pawn her diamonds she hasn't been able to get them out yet and the maid has to go down and pay the interest on them, and now the maid la In reaOity, mistress, and the poo^gady Uves in deadly (ear of her seoret being told. Foolish woman!

sba,'

How mnoh wl*er and fcapptor she would be if she would tell the whole story to ber husband, Of course he would blame her, for the money gotten for the gems was for a prodigal brother, but she bad better stand one good scolding than live in continual terror. When one thinks what an easy life a good maid has, it seems strange that more women do not apply for such positions. Her price Is far beyond rabies, and rather than stand behind a oounter all day, get small wages, poor food to eat, no time to call my own exoept when I was too tired to enjoy it, I would go in for studying how to dress women, how to arrange their looks, how to save them steps, how to keep their wardrobes in order in short, I would become a perfeot treasure of a maid. Have a pleasant room to myaelf, get fifty dollars a month* know what it was to have a lot of time, and to be appreciated and be fortunate in regard to presents. But no, these women who have got to earn their own bread and Imjter, say they won't 11 ve out.

THE WRBTOHHD OIBI.

who stands behind a oounter is the slave of those who are over her, never has a ohanoe to sit down, has something deducted from her money if she is slok, and really represents the white slave of the century. She shows her independ enoe by being impudent to the people who buy of her, and they pity her so muoh they don't report her. It is what they ought to do. But I have talked and talked, and written and written, and still those fools of glrlB have no lives that they oan call their own, are half starved and make wretohed lives for men.

How oan they help it? They don't know how to make homes. They only know how to sell ribbon, and their idea of getting married is to live In a boarding house and do nothing. You can't make homes in boarding houses. You have got to set up an altar to the goddess of home love if you wish to oreate a happy resting plaoe for yourself and your husband, and this altar is really a kitohen stove. And you must learn to pour out libations in honor of the God of Home, and the libations must be things that are good to eat. Good eating means an awful lot in this world, and a good dinner is calculated to bring about more happiness than all the sermons that ever were preached. vi 5

Can you expect a man to love you if his potatoes have bones in them? Can you expect a man to love you if the ohioken that he carves is pink?

Can you expect a man to love you if the wild duok that is served is done brown?

Can you expect a man to love you if everything tastes as if it had been cooked in the same pot?

Can you expect a man to lore you if the bread 1B Boggy? Can you expect a man to love you if your table isn't inviting looking, and your dishes palatable?

The dinner hour is the restful one of the day, when two or three are-met together in happy converse over good food. It is the hour of civilization, and it is the time when woman is queen. It is very well worth your while to know how to order and cook a good dinner. It is better than knowing how to paint on velvet or make paper flowers. Take my advice and learn. Learn the art of dinner getting, for that means the art of making friends. You like a good dinner yourself, don't you? Surely you do, if you are anything ofa woman, and If you oare to make the men of your household happy. you will give it to them. You think only preach? You are mistaken. I don't know a thing about fancy work. There would never be a paper flower 4n the world if they waited for me to make them. I don't know how to handle a paint brush or a penoil, but when it oomes to ordering a good dinner, and to seeing that it is properly served, the household knows that it oan rely upon

Upright Pianos,

The superior improvements in the upright are oro^dii\g out the square piano from the field* Ten to fifteen years ago the square piano held a plaoe between the upright and grand, bnt the ppright Jjas advauoed beyond it, and today no square pianos are being turned out by good makers. Up to a few years ago fair prices were given for seoond band squares, where today a firm heal tates even at taking one in exchange. When they do get on the market, they are generally purchased by the publio schools.

A rauaioi^qly purchaser will prefer a secondhand piano of standard make to a new instrument of inferior manufac ture, and as the best piano judges are not always able to pay the price of new piano a good secondhand one is always salable withiu the oity limits.

Washing Bilk Waist*.

Wash silk waists do not always wash well beoause of ignorance of the proper way of laundering them. Add a tea spoonful of borax to some lukewarm water and enough nice white soap to make a weak suds. Bub through the hands oarefully, and instead of wring' ing draw the silk through the tightly clasped hand. If all the dirt has not been taken out, wash again then rinse in several waters to which have been added a pinoh of borax or a half dozen drops of ammonia. Do not let the silk beoome quite dry before ironing then use a moderately hot iron, as a very hot one will sooroh the silk.

As an emergenoy medicine, Ayer's Cherry Peotorai takes the lead of all other remedies. For the relief and cure of oroup, whooping cough, sore throat, and the dangerous pulmonary troubles to whioh the young are so liable, it is invaluable, being prompt to act, sure to oure.
