Among tbe many prominent and capable women enjoying prominence in the literary and newspaper world of today is Mrs. Lollie Belle Wylie. Though born in a French seaport town on the coast of the gulf of Mexico, in south Alabama, she has been reared and edu oated in Atlanta and did her first liter ary work here. Though her poems and literary compositions have been published in the north and west, she is claimed as an Atlanta genius and is prominent among a galaxy of local stars. When very young, she married Mr. Hart Wylie, the eldest son of Mr. James R. Wylie of this city, and it was not until her widowhood, after three years of married life, that she had made any effort* toward developing her pres ent talent Young and inexperienced she started forth with that determine tion that characterizes her daily sucoess and soon established herself as a fin

MRS. LOLLIE BELLE WYLIE.,

ished journalist in her able management of the woman's department of tho Atlanta Journal. After four years of work there she edited a clever little society sheet of her own, only giving it up to more closely devote herself to correspondence for various papers of the south and west, Bending many clever articles to tho Pittsburg Press.

In the meantime the tender sweetness and delicate sentiments expressed in her poems cuodo them adaptable to music aud song, and in the very flint days of her literary career her friends and admirers beheld in her a poetic genius that has now established her reputation among those appreciative of the song and poetry of tho duy.

Among the latest successes achieved by Mrs. Wylie in her proso work is hor novel, "Bayou Ooquo d'Indo," the soene laid in the little seaport town where she was born.

Mra Wylio has composed and adapted to music from oight to ten ballads or love songs, mid her latest composition, "Thou Art- My Prayer," has been published by the John Church oompany and met with the greatest success.

She has recently become associated with Atlanta's new newspaper, The Messenger, and brings out in the first edition, among other clever articles, one on "Buddhism" and a poem entitled "Tho Bodhi."

Mrs. Wylie is a woman of unusual force of ohoraoter with an earnestness of purposo and power of oonviotion that capacitate her to discuss with ability tho important questions of the day, whether in politics, sooial or literary life, and her present sucoess is but the dawning of a more brilliant future.— Atlanta Constitution.

An ImpnMln Statement.

Suffrage has grown to such an old story 1 We women have been tugging at the elbows of the government to gain recognition for about 60 years. One generation of men passes away and an other takes its place, and still we plead.

That was a rather forceful pioture Miss Anthony miyio as she addressed the committee in the assembly oh amber at Albany at the time of the constitutional convention hearing. She was 70. The oldest man in the oommittee was 80. She made tho following impressive statement: "Gentlemen of the judiciary committee, 40 years ago I stood here, asking of your fathers tho samo thing I am asking of you today." Tho oommittee looked uncomfortable and shifted about uneasily in their chairs. She was white haired and venerable, and they might have been her grandsons, as far as years were concerned. Her speech on that occasion was followed by Mrs. Lillie Deveroux Blake's speech, in which that lady set forth the legal points bearing on the case. This was, in turn, followed by Mrs. Mary Seymour Howell, who spoke from the home and the heart to the homes and the hearts of her auditors. She adorned her speech with logic, wit and pathos, and her hearers, who found their eyes bedinuned with tears one moment, made the place resound with laughter and applause the next

Mrs. Howell is a tall, graceful woman. with a polo but handsome face, whose features are much saddened since the loss of her only son, who had jest reached man's estate at the time of his death. Since that sorrow she has entered into tho work for the enfranchise went of her sex with renewed effort and a strength and force ti$it are iiothmg if not Inspired. Fur years she has been a familiar figure in attendance on legislative doings at the capital, where her husband is law libr.irj.ai, and to hear is due in no slight degree th* gintitude of my sex for various hills tK-* have been passed in our fav*,r I i. ryot HoltCahoon in New York Recorder. ...

great truth that whatever is worth doing is worth doing welL When a Ionian is a member of six charitable societies, she is apt to be the kind of member that always excuses herself from any hard work upon the oommittees, etc., by saying, "I belong to so many societies, you see, that I really oan't undertake extra work." She is quite right in one way, for to keep up with the meetings of six societies is as much as the ordinary woman who has her ordinary duties besides can possibly accomplish. But she is entirely wrong, on the other hand, in belonging to so many when she is useful in none "The man of one book" has always been recognized as a formidable power 'the woman of one society'- is equally needed. "This One thing I do" is the motto of those who lay foundations and build towers that endure. 'I had rather have Mrs. on my committee them any other woman in tbe club," said one wise organizer. 'She is not so clever or so widely known as some other members, perhaps, but she has good, clear judgment, and her time and Interest are not scattered among 40 other things, as theirs are. She will oome to every oommittee meeting, in the first place, and not have half a dozen conflicting engagements, and when -she goes home she will think about it all without being preoccupied by the business matters of any other organization, which is an advantage that cannot be overestimated."

Another equally wise worker, when elected to the presidency of an important society. immediately resigned from two other organizations in which she had beezi a member so as to give her whole mind to toe larger wnfk, and the result fully justified her decision. It is less necessary, in fact, in these crowded titties to widen usefulness than to deepen it, aid, truly, unless we toe remarkably eroo&ed with energy and power, most of us soon spread our usefulness out so thin that its very existence is problems' icaL—Philadelphia Telegraph.

Tbe Mew Woman WIU Wed.

Dr. Lyman Abbott believes in coeducation. At least he says that the main argument against the mingling of the sexes at college is that "they are apt to fall in love and get married, and that," he asserted in a recent after dinner speech to the Oberlin college alumni, "is a thing of which I heartily approve. I fell in love and got married myself, and I think it was the best thing I ever did. Indeed, if I were addressing undergraduates I am not sure but that I would advise them to elect the study of human nature with one tutor each."

The new woman does not trouble Dr. Abbott either. "While I do not care to see women rushing into the professions," he said, "and becoming stenographers, lawyers, doctors, reporters, and what not, yet I would by no means debar them from that privilege if they so desire. I would have them ee to choose for themselves. The idea ,i forcing them into-the home is absurd. If men must corral women in order to marry them, then they'd better be old bachelors. But I believe that social problems will be so worked out before many years that men will be the sole breadwinners, and women will take that place for which they are so well suited and in whioh they are happy— that of homemakers and homekeeper*. For myself, I want to s# that whatever of fame has come to me or whatever I have accomplished is due to the wisdom, oounsel and inspiration of that angel that has walked by my side. I feel sure, too, that she rejoices more in any honors that have oome to me than if they had been bestowed upon herself.''

Bridal Wardrobe*.

One of the most important events in a woman's life is decidedly her wedding day, and, as most women mean to marry but once, that one wedding dress must make a bright spot in the memory of a lifetime

The stunning wedding gown is always white. This year it is white satin. It is made with a full skirt, WTeathed in Irish point laoe, with a nice long train. The bodice is usually made with a fall of laoe and wide rev era. The sleeves are moderately large and trimmed in laoe. The neck is high and massed in lace, and the veil is draped in Russian style, from a wreath of orange blossoms at the crown of the head.

Shower bouquets of roses, sweet peas, orchids and carnations are in vogue, and lately a southern belle started the fashion for jasmine flowers.

A very handsome reticule to be used with a bridal traveling gown is made Qf violet tinted leather, decorated in a framework of Japanese tortoise shell work and lined with a pale buttercup silk. This is made after the heart design and is carried on the arm.

A handsome going away gown can be fashioned of pearl taffeta silk and pearl jeweled net. The tight fitting Louis XV ooat is very pretty for this combination, with tbe fullness arranged in the stylish godet folds below the waist line. The large ravers made of the silk can be covered with the net and turned back from a .petal front made of the silk. Leg o* mutton sleeves add grace to the costume, of which tbe Bkirt is made full and plain.—St. Louis Republic.

A Caee For CweaSderaUo®.

In Michigan Mrs. Morehouse Was lately nominated for state superintendent of publio instruction fay the Pro* hibitionista. Tbe attorney general of Michigan has filed an opinion that under the constitution oI that state a woman is ineligible to a state offioa. He is also of opinion that a woman cannot legally hold an office tor which she cannot vote.

The point that a woman cannot bold a state office in Michigan may, perhaps, be well taken, as the constitution of Michigan is peculiarly rigid. Bat the general principle that a woman cannot hold an office for which she cannot vote is wholly untenable. Naturalised citisens vote for president at tbe United

mT&mifm

States, yet only a native bom citisen can be president. Tbe office of state superintendent of public instruction is at present held by a woman, not only in Wyoming and in Colorado, where women vote, but also in North Dakota, where they do not.

Meanwhile those who say that the lack of suffrage entails no practical grievance on women are invited to consider this case in Michigan. Here is a woman arbitrarily debarred from a position which she is abundantly competent to hold, and which is acceptably held by women in other states, simply because under the constitution of Michigan that position must be held by a voter.—Boston Woman's Journal.

Woman Presidential Elector.

One of the three presidential electors nominated by the recent Wyoming Republican state convention is Mrs. Sarah Malloy of Laramie oounty. Mrs. Malloy, who has accepted the nomination, is the wife of Larry Malloy, superintendent of the Wyoming division of the Union Pacific railroad. She was bom near Columbus, O., and has lived in Wyoming since 1870. She has always been a Republican, and votes in opposition to her husband, who is a Democrat. Mrs. Malloy has served as a delegate at oounty conventions and is well informed upon the current political questions of the day. To a reporter she said she did not seek political honors, and would not accept the present one against the wishes of her husband or if its duties interfered with those of her home or family. It is, however, she thinks, the duty of women in states where suffrage has been granted them to perform such duties a" may be assigned them when they do not conflict with the higher duties of the family and home. Mrs. Malloy has four children, the oldest 18 years of age.— Deuvpr Republican.

Kn. Sace as a Speaker.

Mrs. Russell Sage is almost as prominent in feminine clubdom as her hus band is in Wall street She has become so used to addressing her sisters in various organiz. tions on different subjects that her fame as a speaker has spread abroad.

In a reoent speech Mrs. Sage paid a tribute to Emma Willard as a teacher. "Her visit to a class," said Mrs. Sage* "was an inspiration and a benediction. Her presence was queenly, made attractive through mingled dignity and oonrtesy. Her dress, in harmony with her oharacter. and tbe oooasion, was appropriate, often elegant, always picturesque. No woman ever impressed me BO deeply. She was never unmindful of the gracious oourtesies of life, the 'lesser morals,' as some one terms them, whioh she so beautifully illustrated in her daily life."

An Bnthnsiast.'

Agitato, agitate, for so you educate. On the suffrage question this is especially true In the palmy days of the Farmers' Alliance, in a oertain oounty of Arkansas, a few "crank" equal suffragists introduced into every county Alliance a resolution that woman should have the ballot There was wild against the creed—so-new tqrtx ft less than two years of such^pi^t&e: work and the delegates to state and na tional conventions were instructed to favor an equal ballot for men and women. So wear your yellow ribbon, oarry your three starred flag and talk suffrago every day.—Ozark (Ark.) Sig naL

They Do Not.

Women entering upon the practice of law must expect no special favors not granted to men. The little pleasantries indulged in by court and clerks at tbe outset of their professional lives, giving them tbe precedence in hearing and op port unities for being seated when the men find no chairs available, must not deceive them into believing that the new profession will be wholly easy and a bed of roses. They will reoeive the same oourtesies and stand the same worries as the men, and no one begrudges them sucoess won at equal odds. —New York Jewish Messenger.

A CYCLING PHENOMENON.

The Remarkable Performaneee of a Jjmdy of Denver.

'Among the women of pluck and energy in Denver is a dainty little lady, Mrs. Rhinehart, who is surprising the world at large by her wonderful exploits upon the wheel. Mrs. Rhinehart is the wife of one of Denver's leading photographers. She is a native of California, having lived in Colorado but five years. On Sept 20, 1896, Mrs. Rhinehart took her first ride, and, finding that she enjoyed it, she invested in a wheel. Dec. 14 she made her first century, and when April arrived she had ridden three oenturies, and, in company with her husband, had toured old Mexico upon her wheeL

Up to the present date Mrs. Rhine hart has ridden 44 oenturies in all,' and

Miss Clara Howard of California is in the University of California, ambitious to perfect herself as a philospher, a devoted student of Kant, with a very small income, which she increases by delivering newspapers. At first she was her own carrier and solicitor, but now she employs a number of small boys who deliver the papers, while she does the canvassing and collecting. ,.~

Bow Fame Oame to Her.

Miss Rosaline Whyte has suddenly jumped into fame as an artist because it was she who made the design for the Princess Maud's wedding gown. Believing above all in simplicity, she made its only trimming a border of orange blossoms, jasmine and myrtle Miss Whyte is quite a beginner, and was only recently graduated from the Royal Female School of Art

during July gained a worldwide fame by riding ten centuries in ten consecutive days. She followed that July 22 with a double century, which she accomplished in 20 hours and 20 minutes, riding the last 40 miles in darkness, mud and rain. Feeling confident that she could lower her reoord for 200 miles, Mrs. Rhinehart started out on the morning of Aug. 7 at 8126 and in 7 hours and 60 minutes oovezed a distance of 102 milSK AffSP resting 80 minutes she started once more and aooomplished the seoond 102 miles in 9 hours and 45 minutes, making the entire 204 milec in 17 hours and 85 minutes. This was done entirely for her own gratification and pleasure, yet Mrs. Rhinehart mado a complete registration of her arrivals and departures. If her feat were to be questioned, she could produce the necessary affidavits. She recently rode nine miles, from Laramie to Red Buttes, Wy., up hill all the way, in 89 minutes. She carried the packet lor that stage in tbe relay race across the continent

Mrs. Riiinehart's record is one that is not equaled by many male bicyclists, and probably by no lady rider in the country. She rides purely for pleasure. She has never cared to break any reoord and has refused to enter contests. She is an easy, graceful ridar, averaging 18 miles an hour, ooming out fresh and at the end of trips that few ^VvehdureT'' Her fastest riding is always done near the finish. When she began riding, Mrs. Rhinehart was an invalid. She is now the pioture of health and laughs most heartily over the dismal prediction that she is killing herself riding. She is a slight young woman, with large brown eyes, golden hair, and is a perfect gypsy in color. Her riding costume is a short divided skirt, sweater, golf hose and low shoes. During her long rides she is particular that her clothing shall be vesry loose, so that every muscle may have full play.— Detroit Free Press.

An Autumn Waist.

An autumn round waist suitable for plain or fancy cloth or silk is made over a closely fitted lining, the back showing no seams, with small overlapping plaits at the waist. The front is shirred at the waist line with a box plait in the oenter that does not droop at all at the belt, with five narrower plaits at each side, forming a yoke effect. Tbe sleeves are plaited into armholes, and are moder ately full, but with no stiff interlining. Tbe decoration consists of a fitted pointed oeinture boned on the sides and at the front and back of the pointed girdle, a high collar with velvet points flaring out from the straight band. The box plait down the front has the upper portion covered with a pointed velvet tab. Small gold or silver buttons are used to finish the velvet decorations. The skirt is cut with seven gores, narrower in outline than those of seasons past, but with a sljght flare still left in the lower hall —New York Post.
