WOMAN'S WUILD.

WHY AN OAKLAND YOUNG WOMAN BECAME AN UNDERTAKER.

No Women Need Apply—The Rainy Day Clab—Practical Dress Suggestions—The Girls of '97—Women In England—The

Puritan Effect.

Miss Bessie J. Wood is pretty, young, bright eyed and rosy cheeked, and altogether unlike the gloomy calling that she has undertaken. There is nothing funereal about her, and she is sincere and earnest in the work that she has chosen. She took up this line of work not from a desire for mere gain, but from an honest conviction that she was doing good in the world to her sex. The young lady (she is but 24 years of age) is the daughter of a minister of the gospel, the Rev. I. D. Wood late of Fresno, but now of Oakland. She desired to do good in the world, and instead of choosing the usual missionary channels into which the children of ministers fall she branched out into something new, and that branching out was into the grewsome business of the undertaker. The idea of looking for an opportunity to do good in the undertaker's business may excite amusement, but when the young lady explains it the good that she hopes to accomplish becomes self evident at once. "I have often thought that it would ease the minds of those of my own sex who were dying if they knew that their remains after death would bo cared for by one of their own sex, explains Miss Wood. "The idea of having all that is mortal left to the rough, unsympathetic hands of a man to be prepared for the coffin cannot be pleasing to women of sensitive natures, particularly when they aro ill and worn with sickness. If

MISS UESSIE J. WOOD.

it wero known that after the spirit had flown the mortal remains were to bo cared for tenderly, reverently and sympathetically by one of their own sex, it would ease the minds of many women. With that idea in view I have adopted the oalling of an undertaker.

Miss Wood had considerable difficulty in getting established in Oakland, owing to the opposition of the local undertakers. They were not very friendly toward the woman, who might cut into their business very seriously, and when she went to them to propound her plan she got very little help. "Winn my parents came from Fresno and located in Oakland, I determined to make this work my regular calling," explained the young lady. 'I determined that I would not open a regular undertaking establishment, but that I would go to all of the regular undertakers in town and solicit aid from thom, offering to take charge of such female eases as they might have in which my services might be desired, at a slight addition to the ref^i lar cost of the funeral. I thought that it would really be a help to undertakers who let it be known that they had a woman assistant. On the contrary, I was discouraged in every way. Only orio or two gave mo any.help utf all, and it seems almost as if there was a boycott against me. "I have issued my cards, however, and styled myself'assistant underaker,' and I shall do what business may come in my way. I shnll prepare bodies for the eoffln or caw for them through to the grave, or I will soothe the dying hours of any who might need me. "I shall study embalming, and as soon us I ln'conie proficient in that I shall liegin the handling of all cases that may come to me. I shall then open regular undei'taking parlors in Oakland anil shall do anything that may come to me in that line, though I shall aim to handle only cases in which my services as a woman are desired. "To me t!i,r,' is nothing disagreeable in the work. There is nothing horrible. On the contrary. I regard mv work as almost saemi and a mission of mercy." —San Fnmcisro Examiner.

No Women Noeil Apply.

An astonishing example of apparent narrow

Handedness

with respect to wom­

en has been developed in the adjutant general's office at Washington. It appears that a few months ago the civil service commission called a special examination for the pur]ose of finding, if possible, a qualified person for the position of translator of modem languages in the adjutant general's office, then vacant. The place is an exoeceditigly difficult one to fill, and the salary is absurdly low when the necessary attornments of the incumbent are considered. Among the requisites are a perfect knowledge of four modern languages in addition to English, an ability to do typewriting in

Jill

of them with equal

facility as English to be a skilled proofreader: to thoroughly understand modern library methods, including classification of books, cataloguing, indexing, and so on, and to have a knowledge of literary eoiufrusition. Notwithstanding the safarv 4or t*:eexercise of these varied aceomp.li&uneHta is but #1.500, a nam-: of men and one woman applied for examination.

Incredible as it may seem, it is rported that an intimation was given t* forehand to the civil service commissicthat a woman would not be welcome the position, but as that body does ncA ttwoguU© sex in dealingwith applicant*

t-jwfm «w*«-f-j^m

this broad hint, if it wasmade, was not acted on, but, according to dispatches, the examination was much more difficult than the advertisements indicated. Of those who attempted the examination all failed except the one woman appli cant, who received a creditable average and was given a certificate.

Supplied with this document and having a personal character above re proach, it is natural to suppose that she would have been promptly commission ed, notwithstanding the preference of the office for a man, but this is appar ently not the case, for, notwithstanding her examination showed her to be fully qualified for the place, she was, accord ing to dispatches, curtly informed that no woman could have the place under any circumstances." It is inconceivable that such an exhibition of narrow Handedness can still exist in any of the large government departments at Washington. Women have been found to excel the men in many branches of government work, and this particular woman wa evidently, from the manner in which she passed the civil service examination, fully qualified for the post she desired to fill, and there seems no good reason why she should not have been given that which she fairly earned.—Philadelphia Ledger.

The Rainy Day Club.

The Rainy Day club was entertained the other day by Miss E. Marguerite Lindley at the Murray Hill hotel. From the large number of prominent women present it is evident that the common sense idea of comfort in dress is becoming popular.

Mrs. Mary Sargent Hopkins of Boston was elected fourth vice president and Mrs. L. E. Bascom recording secretary The literary portion of the exercises was practical and instructive.

Miss Lillian Mack of the Newark News made a witty speech on "Dress For the Business Woman." She adopted the costume three years ago. At first 3ho was ridiculed and lost a beau because of it, but the absolute comfort and freedom of the dress and the growing respect of the men with whom she bad associated quite compensated her for being an innovator.

Mrs. Harriet Hubbard Ayer extolled the excellence of the new dress and said if she could afford it she would give away the dress she now wears to church and replace it with a short skirt. "Sensible men like it," she said, "and that means considerable to us women."

MissLila Lockwoodof Mount Vernon spoke of the proper dress in school. As the head of a fine school she was opposed to any kind of uniform, but encouraged low heels, lightweight dresses, without corsets, and dainty white aprons. These latter she declared to be a great incentive to neatness.

Dr. Eloiso Church was asked to speak on costumes for trained nurses, but sho said their dress was already perfect and needed no comment.

Mrs. Bertha Welby haa worn her short dress constantly since last October, and in consequence has notim^the sore throat or cold from which she^enerally suffers at this season. In the absence of Mra Stanton Laurence, Miss Lindley spoke on the home side of the question.

Among the other women who took part in the discussion were Mrs. M. Ravenhill, Miss Louise Stevens, Mrs. Kate Bostwick and Miss Katherine Blake. An exhibition of artistically made short .skirts for rainy weather was hold in parlor G, while in the seclusion of another room Miss

Mack

gave a closer

view of her costume, which combined comfort and economy. New York Tribune.

Practical Dress Suggestions.

In those days, when the changes of fashion are so frequent and often so diametrically opposed to those preceding what is latest, economy suggests the purchase of a few very handsome rather than many articlosof dress, and also the exercise of considerable ingenuity in adapting these gowns effectively to special and varied occasions. I wish to give a few practical suggestions to women whose positions in life, even if they are not wealthy, oblige them to be well gowned. In the first place, make it a rule to invariably be well supplied with the best of gloves, boots and at least one handsome dress bonnet, which, in these days of wonderfully reasonable shapes and garnitures, need not be at all extravagant. Always have afresh pair of black or dark gloves to save the wear of your lighter ones, and take special care of both in removing them. Never roll them up always pull them into shape while warm from the hands.

A rich black silk, satin or brocaded gown of small design stylishly made is a background for endless changes in dress. Creamy laces caught here and there with pretty jeweled lacepins little velvet bolero jackets stamped and wrought with silks or beads and spangles fanciful collars of colored velvet, with lace, jet or chiffon trimmings a pair of deep lace cuffs, with a bertha to match a fichu of black point d'esprit, with ruffles of the same caught here and there with cherry satin ribbons graceful braces formed of Persian passementerie, with a girdle corresponding pretty garnitures of beads and embroidery in the form of yokes square necked plastrons, re ton bretelles banded across the front, full neck ruches of lisse, mousseline de soie, or net, with wrist frills to match, with all these and many more charming confections, a plain dark or black gown is xunluplicu constantly as well as transformed.—New York Post

The Girls of *97.

If our grandmothers had been called upon to endure the

constant

strain and

the wear and tear that make the existence of a modern society girl, tfcey would quickly have degenerated intf neurasthenia, because they had net been educated to such a life. The women of the olden time were not adoicted to excess of brain work. They lived eel? contained, uneventful lives, and their physical powers were more than sr«fQrirut for their mental needs.

But as the conditions have changed

%mt

We seem indeed to be so far from any practical solution that it may appear foolish even to hazard a conjecture as to the future prospects of the question. There are nevertheless strange turns in the affairs of men, and should popular sentiment, irritated by the ludicrous anomalies of our franchise, declare itself at some no very distant date in favor of manhood suffrage it may be that the partisans of woman suffrage would find themselves in an unexpected way the masters of the situation.

Those who are at present divided by the details of the measure which they have at heart would coalesce in the common cause and would probably find themselves powerful enough to bar the passage of any bill in favor of manhood suffrage except on their own terms. Those terms would be, of course, dictated by the progressive and democratic body which calls itself the Franchise league. We might, in short, suddenly find ourselves, whether married or single, not only free to exercise the parliamentary and local franchises, but also eligible for all elective offices and consequently free from any legal bar to a seat in the house of commons. —Lady Dilke in North American Review.

The Puritan Effect.

Unless the hair is rolled in a pompadour off the forehead and dressed low over the ears it cannot lay claim to distinction .or fashion this season.

The great ladies in Paris who set the fashions are wearing their dusky tresses so loosely rolled or braided as to almost border on carelessness. Long strands loosely braided and caught up nape of the neck or wavy, fluffy coils, seemingly escaping all confines, are accepted Parisian styles for dressy occasions.

A pretty fashion that is gaining favor in this country is the finishing Puritan touch to French coiffure, that is fetching to a degree, because so quaintly unexpected. The hair is rolled away from the face in a wavy pompadour, drooping low over the ear in a suggestion of tiny, coquettish curls. So mucn for Paris.

The New England touch is obsrved in the smooth, neat little bow of hair on the crown of the head, lendi: an air of primness and dignity to the (itire coiffure, in bewitching contrast 11 the dancing curls. With this style of lairdressing is invariably worn eithe two bunches of small flowers or two sej rate clusters of roses or two large bios mis, one back of the right ear in the urls and one resting against the precis little bow of hair on the crown oj the head.—New York Journal.

to have our ideas, and as the demand of the age upon our energies has increased we have gradually learned how to build ijp our forces to meet the stress.

The girl of '97 has strong resistance to offer to nervous strain because of her constant and thorough bodily training, which has developed her powers, hardened her muscles and given her the ability of depending upon her own judgment as to how much work she can safely do or how much excitement she can wisely bear.

Our grandmothers were constantly weighed down with the thought of what they ought not to do. Today our girls lcok with serene, wide open eyes ou the world opening so broadly before them, and they are gloriously confident that all paths are free to them, and every one is wishing them godspeed.

As the human race insists ou progressing, it becomes the duty of each one who makes a profession of physical training to his utmost to enable the bodies of women to keep pace with the march of th^ir ideas.—Baroness Rose Posse in Boston Globa

Women In England.

The present position of the woman suffrage question in the United Kingdom may 1 described as that of a deadlock, and the prospect of any change in the existing situation cannot be regarded as other than exceedingly remote.

FOS LITTLE FOLKS.

PAPER DOLLS.

How They Are Made and How a Ixt of Fun May Be Had With Them.

Many years ago paper dolls were not made in such elaborate and beautiful styles as they are now. And they were much more expensive. Today, for a cent or perhaps for 5 cents, you can buy a handsomely tinted cardboard lady or gentleman or boy or girl, each with a collection of costumes of various sorts. So we do not have as much fun cutting paper dollies of newspapers as we used to do.

In those days, on a rainy afternoon, when other amusements failed, mamma would take a newspaper and cut a long strip, the lengtJb of the paper and perhaps 4 to 6 inches wide. This she folded once in the middle, then again in the middle, and again, until the strip was folded many times. Then she cut from this what looked like one paper girl until you opened the strip of paper, when a whole row of paper children appeared, looking like this:

Or this:

These dollies, as you see, or as some of you who have seen them before know can be cut in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Big boys and little, tiny girls and grown up women, soldiers with guns and sailors can be had, all with their hands clasped together, if you cut them the proper way, and whole regiments just alike.

Then sometimes we fastened the hands of the end dollies, and, behold, a ring of them, which could be made to stand upon the floor! And this amused baby so much that presently the floor was covered with dancing rings of boys and girls, until baby, eager for new fun, blew them over or kicked them down with her restless little feet.

Then there were big, comical creatures, that were cut out to stick upon the ceiling and dance. A long, queer, paper man or a fat woman was made and a small hole cut in its head near the top. To this we tied a cotton thread, and the other end of the thread was fastened to a scientifically made spitball. We became quite expert in the manufacture of just tho proper kind, sliape aiid alzo of the spitballs. They had to bo of good size and chewed soft enough to stick well if they were intended to hold up a good sized dancer.

These we threw up, with unerring aim, climbing upon chairs, beds or any thing else that came handy in order to reach better. One after another of our paper creatures was thrown up until they stuck fast to the ceiling and hung there. Then somebody made thom dance for the amusement of the younger fry. If Jack or Charlie wero tho showman, he took a fan and used it with such good force that our dangling paper men and women danced and waved about in fine style. Sometimes we suspended them over the registers to make them dance, and sometimes violently opening and closing the closet doors produced a good effect in making the dancers perform their gyrations.

My Pony.

A pony's such fun! I'vo only just one,

But ho'll carry mo ovor the moon. From the earth to the sky, In the wink of an eye And carry me back as soon.

Hot mornings we stroll From Yakutsk to the pole— The trip occupies but a minute—

But in winter there's greater Fun at the equator So I skip to the Nile and jump in it.

My pony likes water, As any horse ougbter,

And sails on the billowy tea, In Eskimo kayaka Or in proas with dyaks. Just wherever he thinks will suit me.

We've no time to tire, There's so much to admire In the Btranpe, farofl lands that we roam,

With lHbetana and Japs And other odd chaps.

Till supper time summons us home.

We sample all climates. And even past time it's

So nice to live over again. So we help the crusaders. Lick Saracen raiders. Or sail with Columbus from Spain.

And my pony's so cheap And so easy to keep,

For he lives without clover or sheave. Your pony's named Norot Yours Molly? Yours Hero? Well, my pony's called Make Believe. —J. L. Heaton in "The Quilting Bee."

Water and Ink Trick.

Fill a couple of wineglasses with water. To the one add a very small pinch of sulphate of iron and to the other a still smaller quantity of tannic acid. Stir each well, preferably with a glass rod or bone spoon, but not using the same rod or spoon for both glasses. Each liquid is colorless, but if you take a tumbler and pour the one into the other the resultant liquid will be opaque and black as ink, which, in fact, in a diluted form, it actually is. Now add a pinch of oxalic acid and again stir. The black will gradually disappear, the liquid becoming clear and colorless, as at first

Tailor Made Gowns.

The class of gowns which are most needed in the very early spring, says a New York fashion writer, is the simple tailor made type—jacket and skirt. Tho very plainest models are the best, the coat neither tight fitting nor at all loose, just easy, but without a wrinkle and cut either double breasted, turned away slightly at the throat to show the linen collar or the fancy stock of the bodice beneath or else open fronted over a narrow waistcoat. This, with a silk lined, perfectly hanging skirt, is all that can be desired, and a good sum of money expended on a first class quality of material, a silk lining that is now not an extravagance, is far and away a better choice than to fritter twice this amount away in haphazard purchases which in the end bring no such result for the money as the first seemingly expensive gown. No other sort of costume looks at once so neat, sensible, and it by'no means lacks .style. Most women provide themselves with one or two smart silk or fancy satin blouses to wear with the skirt indoors, but it is far better, if possible, to keep a walking dress exclusively for that purpose. On the sample cards is a new shade in gray that suggests mauve, and this in tweed or cloth will make a very becoming and stylish spring costume.

Zinc

"Wall

Zinc'' wall paper'' is tho latest oddity, and several residences of the highest class now building will be equipped with the zinc papers, which are prcpax ed by anew process so as to exactly resemble marble. The most beautiful varieties of marble are imitated in such manner that the imposture is only to be detected after a close examination.

The zinc is attached to the wall by cement invented for the purpose. The surface of the zinc is enameled so as to render it permanent and washable Tiles or any other form of mural covering can be imitated as readily as marble and the material is made in a great variety of patterns.

It is claimed for this new departure in decorative material that while it is as permanent as tiles or marble it is much cheaper and can be as easily put on as ordinary wall paper. It can be applied, too, to any surface, whether flat, broken or round, and any beading, etc., can be embossed on the metal to complete a design or panel.—Decorator and Burnisher.

Men of Weakened Power, Exhausted Viffor.

Weak men suffering from nervous debility, weakened power and exhausted vigor, can now take new hope. Dr. Greene, 35 west Fourteenth street, New York City, who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing this class of diseases, offers to give free consultation by mail to all weakened, vigorless and nerve exhausted men. You have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter describing your complaint and he will, after carefully considering your condition, send you free a letter fully explaining all your symptoms, telling you everything about your complaint so plainly that you will understand exactly what ails you. Write to him at once and get back your strength and vigor.

Only an Incident.

A few days ago I visited a large foundry on tho West Side which turns out drop forgings of all kinds and heavy castings. I noticed soverr.l Polish girls carrying rosin across the foundry, taking the rosin out of ono bajjqel and de positing it in another. "I don't understand tho neic that,'' I remarked.
