beautiful boxes, pincasbions and opera bags of satin, hand painted or embroidered, and further decked with ribbons, flainty muffs and opera boods of satin bordered with swan's down, bnt which may bo copied in crape paper where ex pense must be considered sashes of tarlatan bordered with rosjs or other blossoms, garlands of artificial roses with boutonnieres to match and reins of tbe same flowers, gayly painted but terflies, gigantic in size, to be fastened to the gown, or a wand, and smaller ones to be worn in the hair fans, rosettes, boas, capes, and collars. Among the most popular ordered favors are parasols of ruffled tarlatan of white and dainty tints, with frames and bandies of white. They are completed at tbe top with flowers and ribbons matching tbe tint of the tarlatan.
A novelty is a satin or denim "engagement" bag. It is about nine inches wide and a yard long and is provided with seven pookets representing the days of the week. These hold cards on which the engagements for the week are inscribed. Wicker baskets wound with ribbons and filled with artificial flowers are much in evidence, while single flowers, euoh as roses, chrysanthemums, hyacinths or bluebells, made large enough to form caps are also favorites. Crape paper dolls which stand unassisted and have caps tied about their absurd little faces are among desirable favors.
Sticks, staffs, wands and shepherdesses' crooks are all very populai^because without much expense tbey make a bravo show. Some of the latter are of plain white wood polished and entwined with wild or field flower garlands— daisies, buttcrcups, ferns, poppies, etc. Long white painted directoire sticks have bunches of roses tied on with an abundance of ribbon, other sticks have clusters of cherries attached by ribbons, others are topped by folly heads tied with boll tipped ribbons, and here it may bo said that bells and ribbons play a prominent part in tbe evolution of

many attractive favors. At the tops of other stioks are large paper flowers fastened on with coiled wire in order that they may bo tromulous and thus more natural in effect while carried in the daucc. Among the folly sticks are also short ones covered with gilt or silver paper and decked with bells aud ribbons.
Favors that may be prepared by any one with little expense consist of whips, reins, butterfly nets, horns or trumpets, tambourines, tiuy hatchets aud flags, dainty aprons, diminutive bicycles and spinroug wheels and other small toys. Those are purchased and then decorated according to personal ideas, possibly financial resources, with ribbon, crape paper, bells, silver or gilt pa par or tinsel. The more marked the individuality it! arrangement the more successful the favor. Another favor pretty in a dance because of its motion is a pin wheel An attractive one made of pale green glnsrd paper bordered with gilt was fastt -tu to a pale brown stick dec* orated with a small, loose cluster of violets tied en with narrow green ribbons with float HJgends, Other favors were made of crape paper and consisted of boxes aud bags for bonbons, tiny bonnets, muffs, caps, rosettes with streamers, etc.
At a Japanese shop are favors both eccentric and graceful. Among the former were tiny "masks" of some smooth ooppor ?olored substance. The features are quite hideous, but at the same time am using, mid the eyes, shining Mid yellow, gars them an eerie sort of look that perhaps is one of their recommendations. There are two si*e*—tbe larger about seven inches in circumference, the smaller four or fire. These favors are ooly for men. Japanese fans in a multi

Another class of favors inclndes tiny basque figures, not over two or three inches higb, representing dainty flower girls, old time gallants and little children little red imps or devils engaged in all sorts of goblin mischief, and a large variety of animals and reptiles in tbe sbape of paperweights, penwipers, matchboxes, etc.

Tbe wise bostess will try to provide attractive favors for tbe men she invites, for, curiously enough, many of them care quite as much for favors as do their partners. The clever girl will evolve those that will not only serve as favors for the time, but will 'be treasured as keepsakes ever after.
JENNIE T. WANDLE.
THE NEW WOMAN.
At Any Rate, She Does Not Falsehood.
Characteristic of the old woman is her steadfast efforts to inject her own narrow prejudices into other people's lives and opinions. I have lately been considerably impressed with two of the old woman's attempts in this direction. Shortly after the death of Miss Willard a specimen old woman wrote a sketch of her in a New York paper. It was mostly a glowing eulogy of her, as indeed it should have been, for Frances Willard was one of the noblest women of her century. But after mentioning" the chief events of the temperance leader's life and her salient characteristics the typical old woman who wrote the sketch remarked, "With it all, Miss Willard was thoroughly domestic in ber tastes and not tbe least of a new woman. Now, if Frances Willard was not a new woman in every real sense of the word I should like to know who was. Her attention had not been called to woman suffrage strongly when she first began temperance work. Very quickly, however, she recognized that to do any work which involves influencing the people widely women must have the ballot. She saw this and said so bravely at the first opportunity, and from that day to her death woman suffrage had no more eloquent or earnest advocate than she was. The woman suffrage conven tion in session at Washington held a memorial service in her honor. Frances Willard sought 20 years ago to have womon admitted as delegates to tbe Methodist general conference, and her self was sent as a delegate and turned away by the high nosed old bigots in tbe Methodist conference of that day. Frances Willard also learned to .ride bicycle after she was 50 years old, and wheeling had no more enthusiastic devotee than she. Now, once more, if this was not boirg a new woman I should modofitly like to ask what is. A little while ago I read a sketch writteu by soiuo old woman about a friend of my own, a plucky young lady lately gone to the Klondike with her husband. The young lady has been associated with the progressive thinkers of the time ever since she was grown and is herself, while one of the gentlest and lovablest of women, a thorough radioal in her ideas. She is a century bicycle woman and rides a man's or diamond frame wheel in a divided skirt. Yet the old woman who wrote the sketch of her sweetly informs the public that she, too, is entirely "womanly," "being in no sense a new woman." Once again should be glad if these old women who write such stuff would kindly inform us what a new woman is in their judgment. They at length weary ma
Why the hullabaloo about tbe lively and thoroughly nice girls that take part for obaritable purposes in negro minstrel performances, blackening their faces and wearing short skirts, furnishing great entertainment to their audiences with their songs and jokes? Are negro minstrel performances forbidden anywhere in the Bible?
Miss Grace Barton Allen, the gifted young water oolor artist and designer, has lately published a little book on
Water Color Painting." It is designed as a textbook for beginners in the beautiful art of water color painting. Miss Allen has herself shown tbe possibilities that lie in this field of art The chapters of the book among other things treat of monochrome, of fruit, flower and landscape painting. Color wasnes are described, and richly tinted examples of the washes are shown. Miss Allen is a teacher in tbe Dnnlap School of Applied Design For Women in New York city.
MissS. M. Bnrche and •Miss "Mamie" —oh, Mamie—Fossett, a year ago appointed deputy United States marshals in Oklahoma, are still doing active field work in execution of their official duties. One of their trips this winter has been into tbe Indian Territory to serve subpoenas cm witnesses wanted in a murder case. Besides being well armed with pistols Miss Burche took her shotKTm along and killed quail and other game oa tbe road

THE SPRING STYLES
PROSPECTIVE CRAZE FOR RUFFLES ON GOWNS OF ALL KINDS.
Smart and Jaunty Walking: Salts and Jackets—Braid Still JLaviably Used. New Demand For Cashmere For Evening Functions—The New .Spring Hats. [Copyright. 1S3S. by American Press Asso elation.]
We are promised a perfect craze the subject of ruffles for all kinds^of gowns, and already tbe leaders are here Just now tbey are rather oftener seen pat upon skirts to simulate tunio and French flounce effects than to be a trim ming in themselves alone, as they might be celled if set only around the bottom in straight rows. Some gowns have three or four narrow ruffles plain ly hemmed. Others have several with a very narrow satin ribbon sewed on flat or perhaps a very fine line of beading Some of the flounces have a narrow row of tulle or lisse ruching. This is a tak ing fancy, but the flounce should be scarcely gathered at all otherwise sets out too stiffly. Bias pinked flounces from one to four inches wide are seen In tbin silks and crisp taffetas these are pretty. They are, however, not con fined to silks alone, for many of the thin goods now being rapidly made up for summer show any amount of ruffles of all sorts.
And yet we find many entirely plain skirts. The tailor style calls for them, and where tbe material is good they are always elegant. One of the newest of the tailor suits is of gray cloth and has a surtout coat reaching several inches below tbe knees. The skirt1 is entirely plain and touches the ground all around. It is double breasted and has wide re vers and a tudor collar. The sole trimming is a little flat silk braid of the same shade-stitched to tbe coat down the left side in a simple design and three loops of it on the collar.
Some of the new spring walking suits and jackets are remarkably smart and have a jaunty air that is as fetching as it is indescribable. Biscuit, tan or dnst gray cloths made apparently without a seam and trimmed with elaborate braid ed designs put on in the most unexpect-
HOME AND WALKING COSTUME.
ed places, all done in fine black soutache, attract attention everywhere. On the upper part of sleeves and on the upper part of the skirts are not where one naturally looks for braiding, and yet it is unusually effective there. Some have the braiding put across the front of the skirt to represent a tunic effect, and perhaps a blouse to wear with it will be literally stiff with braid. Kersey in green, brown and other colors is used for many of theso tailor suits. The skirts even to these drag a trifle in the back. There is some new grace added to the tailcr costumes made in this country, for they show little or none of the unyielding rigidity of tbe English costume. The French do not as a general rule take kindly to tailor suits. There isn't frou frou enough to them, and a Frenchwoman wants all tbe little silken airs and graces she can get. She needs them, too, while our American women can wear anything and look well in it. Another thing our women have never let go out of date, and that is tbe princess gown, and this season it is in good demand for those of fine figures.
For evening for smallish functions there is a new demand for cashmere. Tbe colors are naturally of tbe regulation evening shades, and they are trim med with tiny ruffles edged with flat satin ribbon, or some have ruffles made of satin ribbon from one to two iuohes wide. Four, five and six of these are sewed on. The sashes to match are also ruffled, and most of them reach the bot torn of the gown and have tbe edges rounded. In addition to cashmere in white and light tints for evening for young ladies there are buntings, veilings, mousseline de laines and several qualities of canvas. These are usually made in simple style, with the new open blouse effect with puffed and shirred vest and yoke. Some of these pretty new stuffs are more becoming to young persons than far more expensive materials. White in all of these, and barege, too, which I omitted to mention, are better liked than any of the others.
Some gowns are wide about the bottom, others comparatively narrow, the difference depending much on tbe taste of tbe wearer. Some flare widely, and others, measuring the same width, are laid in folds so tbat they do not look so full.
The blouse and shirt waist are still with us, and there is no end to new ideas. One odd fancy had revets of tucked silk, the ends of the tucks left to flare. The turtle neck effect will doubtless be very popular as tbe season advances. Quaint fancies are obtained by the use of plaids out at various angles. The sleeves grow tighter, with the shoulders as square as possible. About half the blouse waists end with the belt, aud the others have what are called peplums below the belt Both blouses and dbirt waists are snugger and trimmer than tbey were. All are arranged so that elaborate lace and soull neckwear can be

nd somelef these jabot frills and other devices are really beautiful. For a home costume there was a brown reps. The skirt was plain, and the trim blouse was of the same, but open' in front to allow a full vest in form of a jabot of lace over a pink silk lining. The sleeves were snug and of tan colored cloth, with a succession of milliner's folds of brown satin ribbon. 'Speaking of these folds reminds me that I saw perhaps 200 black sicilienne skirts in a factory, and every one had black satin milliner's folds around the skirt in tunic form about half way up the

front and from there to the back belt. They were handsome. Velours, both plain and moire, was made in the same way. Rich black armure and satin duchesse as well as peau de soie are all made in large quantities for handsome outdoor gowns. So are Irish poplin and the silk warp henriettas and other priestley goods. One style had a plain skirt with a row of black beaded passementerie all around tbe bottom and up' the left side. The waist was snug and had a line of the passementerie aroand the waist and up the front. The collar and vest were of white shirred orepe lisse, with beading and quilling. This design would be elegant in whatever material it was made.
There are some new shapes and ideas added to the number of spring hats al most daily. Just now there are some novel short backed ha:s in Brazilian chip in different bright colors. The milan and leghorn hats are supplemented by java, which is generally round or nearly so, with a round edge to the brim pressed into the straw. Some of these are in natural grass color and some are white. They are loaded with flowers, small rosebuds, violets and field flowers mostly, but there are flowers of every kind. Double poppies are pretty and novel.
Hats will be covered with trimming to a greater extent than ever, but tbe trimming is mostly all light and airy.
HENRIETTA ROUSSEAU.
PROMINENT CLUBWOMAN.
of
Alice Ives Breed, the Next President the General Federation.
Few women of the country are finer types of the worth of education and liberal culture aud the administrative ability it is possible for them to possess than is Mrs. Alice Ives Breed of Lynn, Mass., the vice president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs.
As the wife of Francis W. Breed, a prominent business man of Lynn, Mrs. Breed presides over a beautiful home with all the grace and dignity that characterize her when she is in the chair at a club meeting. Though born in Illinois, she has lived for many years in New England, and during a long period has given largely of her energy and means toward tbe social and intellectual development of women as that development may find expression in olubs and educational organizations. There is nothing of the masculine or the strident in Mra Breed's nature or personality. Gifted to a rare degree with tbe administrative faculty, it is this which has undoubtedly helped to make her such a power as a promoter of the intellectual in club life. She can direot the affairs of such concerns with the quiet effectiveness of a general. Her presence suggest refinement and force of character, and she has always stood

for tbe ethical in tbe advancement of women and has written considerably of this subject for various periodicals. Al' though a resident of Boston for so many years, Mrs. Breed remains thoroughly loyal to her native state, and among her duties with many Boston clubs ia the enthusiastic president of tbe Massachusetts Sons wad Daughters of Illinois.
Mrs. Breed has been a prominent figure in tbe General Federation of Women's Clobs from the inception of that organization. She was a member of tbe committee on moral and social reform at tbe World's congress, Colombian exposition, in 1898. In the tatter part of next June occurs tbe session of tbe General Federation, when it is believed that Mrs. Breed will be chosen president at this great body of cultured women, lira. Breed sails in a f«*w weeks for an extended tour of China and Japan. 3. L. W:
A Duel In the Dark.
Perhaps the most laughable French duel ever fought took place on Nov. 21, 1878, at Plessis-Fiquet and was "fought" between two no less personages than Gambetta, who was then practically the dictator of France, and M. de Fourtou.
Some heated words had passed be tween the two in the chamber of depu ties, for which, according to the French idea of honor, nothing could atone except a duel. The two men met, therefore, on the field, attended by their seconds and the surgeons.
A look over the field was enough to convince any 6ne present that there would be no occasion for tbe doctors services. A thick November fog overhung the scene—so thick that one could hardly see his band before his face. Tbe arrangements for tbe duel required that it should be fought at 35 paces.
Nor was the fog the only thing which tended to put the combatants out of sight of each other. On the way to the field M. de Fourtou said: "M. Gambetta has but one eye, and I am shortsighted, so the game will be about even."
It was rendered still more "even" by the fog. Neither man could see tbe other, and the sole danger was to the seconds and the doctors.
Almost miraculously the two bullets which were exchanged missed the persons in attendance. Everybody's honor was satisfied, and the whole party went home. "That," said M. Gambetta on the way, "was as near to being a skirmish in the dark as anything I ever saw."— Youth's Companion.
