Change In the Employment of Women.

Iu the city of New York, in what may be called the office building district below Chambers street, whero

lation Of a good sizod town is gathered tier on tier within the ground area of a common city lot, young women swarm. Moruiug and evening the streets are crowded with them. Farther up town, for at least a oouple of miles, at the same hours a lango proportion of the crowds that stream along the streets are young women also, these mostly of wliut is known as tho shopgirl class, These aro now common

life, but a man need not be very old— at least I hope not—to remember when the sight of a half dozen young women in the neighborhood of Wall street was a novel and exciting event, and when, in tho up town stores, even in those devoted to tho sale of the most esoteric constituents of woman's attire, women were found as customers only and were waited upon, more or less skillfully, by persons of the superior sex.

Statistics, as I have said, are not required to prove the change. They are, however, useful to measure its extent Take tho figures of the census of 1890 with reference to the number of those engaged in what aro classed as gainful occupations. The total is 22,785,661. It was 17,8Q3,019 in 1880, an advanoe of 80.72 per cent The inoroase in the number of males engaged in gainful oooupations was 27.64 per cent, but the increaso in the number of females was 47.68 per cent As the Increase in total population for tho same period was a trifle under 2fi per oent, it will be seen how very marked was the influx of women in the inoome earning occupations. If now wo turn to the employments as classified in tho census reports, we find the following ratios of increase prevail: Professional services, men 48.58 per cent women 75.84 per oent domestio and personal service, men 16.07 per cent, women 41.15 per oent manufacturing and mechanical industries, men 46,01 per oent, women 62.87 per cent trade and transportation, men 71.75 per cent, women 268.25 per oent These percentages would of coarse be misleading if the totals were disregard ed, but they indicate clearly enough the direction in which the change has been going on and the lines on which it has been meet marked while the totals show that women are now a little more than 17 per oent of those engaged in gaiuful occupations, whereas in 18$0 they were a little less than 15 per oent —Edward Cary in Forum.

Wife on a Wheel.

"Meg" of the Pittsburg Press asks us to sit on the steps and porches these evenings with the women whose hus bands and children are all off

(Hi

their

wheels and hear the concertod growl that is going up on the part of the left behind "hausfrttu." She gives a reason for it in this way: "The heads of the family aro both middle aged or maybe past that age, and' mother,' with a heart iu her breast upon which tlatv

and nobody was to be found at home any more, everybody being out on wheels. Another had to be purchased for the children, since all the little people in the neighborhood were riding, and of course father had to have one, both for business reasons and because his physician had recommended it "So there were four wheels in the family, but none for mother I I have talked with any number of these left at home women, and they are downright indignant and refuse to be relegated to the rocking chair before their time. They fail to see why gray hairs would look more giddy on the bicycle than gray whiskers. Many are now learning to ride between two days, and one of these mornings or evenings there are going to be some great surprises. So look a little out, all you men who have to ride down town after dinner 'to see a man* or to the office 'for papers,' for you are likely to meet your wife cm a

wbeeL" Gail Hamilton and Kate Field.

With Gail Hamilton's death there has departed the one woman in this country who could be oompared with Kate Field for the influence she exerted and for the forcibleness, directness and incision of her style. Both women were distinctly ambitious, both were often disinterested, both felt a profound sympathy for the oppressed, either as individuals or classes both were intensely patriotic, both were aggressive, caustic, witty," keen, regardless of consequences, but scrupulous, trustworthy, accurate and studious. No writers of their age have been more alert to matters of national importance or have more witttly satirized that which would tempt caustic pens. Both were spinsters and concentrated their excellent abilities upon publje life or literary work.

For the emotions of maternity they were obliged to substitute the instinct for humanity, and they did it well and conscientiously, making of themselves mothers to many rather than motherto a few. Both enjoyed the friendship and trust of many men, though neither encouraged love in the opposite sex. Both were women of too large a comprehension not to have desired love and mourned because it never came to them in its fullness. Lacking that blessing, they entered upon brilliant and power ful lives, sinking the personal as much as possible in achievements beneficial tc mankind in general and gratifying tc their love of ambition. Both lived live* of rectitude. They did what theyoould and it was a great deal, for it burnish ed the literature of their age.—Omahs World-Herald.

The Coanteas of Wemyvs.

The Countess of Wemyss, who died the other day, was a somewhat notable figure in London's fashionable world not only for her kindliness and hospital ity, but for her sound common sense. A passage in her will rolating to the manner in which she desired her funeral service to be conducted is distinctly interesting. It runs as follows: "I particularly wish that no undertaker should have anything at all to do with tho management beyond providing the ooffln, which I desire should be mode as plain as it is possible to make it I wish the coffin to be laid on the frame of a farm cart, or lorry, covered over with a purple or some oolored, not black, so oalled pall and drawn by four horses, led by their own drivers, and 1 should like to bo carried to the grave by such friends, workers on the estate, a* are willing to do so. I hope that blind* will not be drawn or crape worn, and that there will be as little outward sign of mourning as possible. I hope these wishes will not be looked upon as in any way eooentric. They are not so. They are simply the expressions of 8 feeling that pomp and expenditure in funerals are unbecoming and that death at the end of along and happy life if more a matter of thankfulness and rejoicing than of lamentation or woe. "Sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas,

Bass after warre, death after life, Doe greatly plceee."

Lady Wemyss' wishes in regara to her funeral were oarried oat, though in plaoe of the plain ooffln one of polished oak, with heavy brass mountings, wat provided.—Buffalo Courier.

A Craae For Gray.

There is in Paris a craze for gray, dull gray, smoke gray, yellow gray, blue gray, only gray. Combine it bow and with what one pleases, a gray gown it as necessary as a silk lining. One of the prettiest is an at home toilet of gray and white, the satin skirt very full and plain but for figures of white laoe appliqued upon it The border has a full vest of white mousselinede sole, basques and a large cape collar with lace edging and insertion. The belt and the folded collar are white, with ohoux of laoe. Never has laoe been so much used as now. It plays a most prominent part on all gowns and hats, no matter what the material, no matter what the color. It is made into butterflies and stiffened intc shape fear millinery purposes. It is usee to cover waistcoats when the silk may be deemed of too .deep a shade. It softens and beautifies everything it touches and is most popular in the yel low shades which are so becoming tc the complexion. Next to gray, blue and white are all die rage, following in tht vogue of the delft ware. Blue foulard scattered over with great white bou quota are seen everywhere. The shop windows are crowded with them the boulevards and promenades abound in them. The combination is to be found in expensive and cheap fabrics. Still it» popularity has not abated ooe jot— Paris Letter. ,v.

It has been the custom of the hospital authorities to take the first six graduates in the final honor list of the Melbourne University Medical school every year and appoint them resident medical officers at the institution, but this year they were confronted with an unexpected difficulty, for the names of the two ladies appeared on the list Among the profession and in the press the tattle raged hotly as to the claims of the ladies but, as the hospital oommittee includes politicians who foresee the approach of the franchise for women, the lady candidates simply "walked in," as the sporting writers put it, when the question came to a division, and they commenced work along with the four new male residents who are their col leagues.—Woman's Journal.

Jewish Women's National Council.

The convention of the national ooun cil of Jewish women to be held in New York from the 10th to the 20th, inolu give, of November, is the first venture of the kind ever undertaken by Jewish women. A very interesting programme for the few days' meeting has been prepared, which' wiil be opened by an ad dresa by the president of the oouncil Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon of Chicago. It will be recalled by those present at Louisville that Mrs. Solomon represented the council at the federation bien nial. The president of the New York section will also make an address of welcome, and during the session, be sides tfie reports of the offloers of sections and national offioers, there will be a number of interesting special papers by well known women. These will be on most practical topics, "Philanthropy,' "Charity," "The Training of Chil dren," "The Crowded Districts of Great Cities," and kindred subjects. In this national council there are 89 sections, as they are termed, with others about to enroll themselves, so that by Novem ber it is expected there will be over 50 branches. &

The collar i.e a high, plain one of blue satin, with overlapping points of the blue satin, outlined with a Bilver cord. The sleeve? are moderately full, shaped in to fit the arms and have points of 'blue satin larger but the same shape as those on the collar, turning back in cuff fashion on the lower part of each sleeve and be ing fastened in place by a silver button on the extreme of each point The bat is a soft gray felt, with a band of gray about its crown and a bunch of blue feathers at one side.

Hats.

"Most of the huge round hats piled with gauze or tulle of two different oolors, with a basketful of roses intermixed with a big unrefined looking buckle and the whole overspread by a pair of farreaching birds of paradise plumes, aro absurd to a degree and look ridioulus above a face either full or glender. It is to be hoped that these decorations will pass into desuetude with the coming of autumn bat garnitures.

A WINDOW SEAT.

This Kay Be Hade by Kasy Home Carpentering and Upholstery.

A convenient window Beat that may be used as a sboebox or without the pockets is an excellent plaoe to keep the separate waists which now abound, either shirt waists or silk, or stuff ones can be made by the home carpenter if she have any ingenuity and two or three tools.

A box of the right length and width to fit in a desired plaoe can begot at the grocer*8, and with a saw and screwdriver a oover can be made and put on with hinges. Then a board to be screw

»H

ed on for aback to the seat can be shaped quite easily by almost any one, but the oorner carpenter is always ready to assist at small expense.

When the box is ready, the cushioned seat is first made by putting hair or ex-, celsior oh the oover and a second cover-, ing of denim, with a balance of th^| same to cover the rest of the box. Green, denim has a cool and pleasing effect, or any shade that will harmonize with the room where the seat will be used.

It it is desired to tuft the seat as an additional finish, this may be done with denim buttons to match in color and fastening them through the oover by passing the upholsterer's thread through holes bored in the top board. An effective oombination is blue denim upholstered with white buttons^'^

Wearing a VeiL

The art of arranging a veil successfully and at the same time fashionably cannot be so simple as it seemt?, since so many women fail to accomplish the desirable result. They put their veils ou so tight that they wrinkle across the face and flatten the end of the nose, and the unneeded length is left to hang in untidy ends at the back. All veils should be gathered a few inches in the middle on the upper edge to make them fit. Fashion varies in the disposition of this little article of dress, which, if not properly arranged, oan make a woman look as though everything she bap on had been thrown at her. Just as present veils are made crescent shaped, with applique lace borders, and are worn very loose, leaving the chin entirely free. Afternoon teas are responsible for this fashion, as loose veils are more easily managed than tight ones. The latest novelty in veiling has a blue chenille dot and Russian net mounted over white tulle, l!

The Pooket Problem*

The pocket question for women's gowns is a little more satisfactorily, settled this season than usuall In the full plaits at the back and slightly at the side of the fashionable skirt it is possible to put a pocket, and with the revival of bolts to a degree not known for several seasons the manufacturers have shown a kindly appreciation of the pocket poverty of womankind. To many of the belts are attached small purses, varying in size from the tiny ones suitable for' change to the bill and card purse. A genuine novelty which is provided for the bicyclist, but is fortunately not copyrighted by that fortunate woman, is a little poodh of net-, ted cord, which, fastened to the beJ^ and with a spring opening, is a safe and light receptacle for parse or hand? kerchief or both.—New York Times.

Delft Kflfeota.

The rage for delft effects has produced many delft bedrooma White furniture, bed, dressing table and chiffonier, are treated with Dutch landscapes to harmonize with delft hangings, paper and brio-a-brao. A room seen lately had a frieze of delft plates and just below, 6n hooks provided for the purpose, a fringe of blue and white teacups run ning quite around the room. A woman who saw and admired the scheme declared that she would duplicate it "with improvements, for in lieu of teacnps I will get delft tea bells, take the handles off and hang them below the freiza' As, however, these bells are heavy enough to hang without vibration, it cannot be seen where the improvement is achieved.—New York Letter.

Wllterd.

Miss Wiliard's recent letters are dated at Little Hampton, England, where she is zesting for a short time at the Beaoh hotel after her arduous labors in connection with the recent annual meetings. She will sail for America Oct 6, attending two or three state conventions before the national gather ing at St Louis in Novem be*.

Tbe Mew Strict,

The latest fashion ediot from Paris is that skirts are lighter than ever sleeves are tight fitting, with the exception of a slight' fullness at tlt upper part of the arm, near the slibulder, which, as tbe autumn advances, will quite disappear, and bats are trimmed low.
