Easter Testimonials. [Copyright, 1898, by the Author.]

N EASTER gift is a a friendship or affection. It is not'a compulsory offer-

jjgg ing, sacb as is often made on Christmas and natal days. It oomes when nature is spontaneously, joyously spreading her sweets for all mankind, when the world is responding to the great Christ love, when human hearts are throbbing in unison with both and sending ont thoughts that are happy, loving and true. It is therefore precious because it *, Is a real heart token, and doubly preoious when the Angers that penned the greeting formed the gift. To suggest such gifts—those to be made by the

Benders—is the object of this article, Expensive Easter gifts are not "good form." It is the sentiment that is appredated, not the value, and there are many trifles easily made that far outvalue the oostliest gift when considered from the "sentiment" point of view.

Cards usually take precedence over all other gifts unless it be flowers, and many and clever are the specimens seen. Hand painting is the decoration of the most original oards, though now and then there is one which shows the mark of genius in other directions. The violet is the flower most in use as a subject next comes the Easter lily, then the hyacinth, tulip and daffodil. Violets, single and in clusters, are carelessly and gracefully depicted, aooording to the idea of the artist, either over an entire oard or across one corner, and the inscription is written in the space that remains, sometimes winding in and out among the blossoms. Envelope sachets are similarly deoorated, and so are tiny sachet bags of satin or silk in white, lavender and yellow, the ever prevailing Easter colors. Some of the cards are single, some fold once in a sort of booklet, and some three times, and all

rf

them are made of water color paper, which is heavy or pliable, as required. On some of the oards are tied, instead of painted sprays of artificial violets, bits of mignonette or real pussy willow sprigs, the ribbon used being No. 1 or No. 2, as desired.

Photograph frames of water oolor paper are also made or may be bought iready made and hand painted in floral designs. There are other gifts, however, Jess conventional.

Butterfly and (our leaf olover bookmarks are pretty, original and simply made. The plan iu the same for both and is as follows: A butterfly or clover |of ordinary shape is traced upon linen baok paper, procurable at art stores, and is colored to as closely resemble the natural object as possible. Then the paper is folded so that the fold will cross the tips of the lower wings of the insect or the edges of two of the olover [petals, and the object is out out, but the fold at the tips and edges mentioned is not out, but left jast as shoulders are left in cutting out garments for paper dolls. A word or two of love may be written on the inside, and the mark is ready to slip over the corner of a page. It is not necessary to make these marks double. A strap of paper may be pasted at the ends only) aoross the baok of a single insect or leaf to take the place of the shoulders mentioned. Photographers' paste is the best to use for Buoh •work.

Another psetty bookmark is made from the oomer of flue, heavy envelope, or such a corner could be used as a pattern for makiug bookmarks from various colored papers It is cut irregularly and diagonally across, and these edges are gilded or tinted. A cluster of Violets is painted across one corner, and it also bears this inscription: "Servant to Your Page."

Some dainty little pin trays were made from halves of scallop shells decprated with hand painted blossoms and the inscription "Easter, 1898." At the

BOOKMAUR AND 1'IN TRAY.

point of the natural hinge of the shells holes had been drilled and ribbons in Easter colors drawn through and bowed. Other shells of like character could be similarly decorated.

Among embroidered gifts easy to make and very pretty were fancy boxes, photograph bags, baby ribbon holders^ etc.

The photograph bag win composed of white art linen and pale green moire ribbon. The linen covered a cardboard foundation a little wider than a cabinet photograph and about twice and a half as long, so that an acoordion fold could be made at the bottom, and was double, thus inclosing the foundation beyond which if extended in a loop. The linen formed two sides of the bag, the ribbon, puffed or gathered along its edges, the other two and also a loop corresponding to the linen one. A casing was made just beyond the cardboard, and ribbon drawstrings were inserted. On one side of the bag on the linen was embroidered a Tine, which was to inclose one of the following two inscription*: "Here We Find Fqpnili&r Faces ".Make New friends, but Keep the Old." ft,

use.

The baby ribbon holder was composed of two disks of cardboard three-fourths of an inch larger in diametral than bolts of baby ribbon, Each was oovered with p^ie bine si ifc embroidered in forgetmenote and lirifed with white s»lE. Baby,. .. ribbon wat drawn through -the deftteraj and also through the two belts of baby necktie. This ja a ti6 tieck ribbon between the disks aiotti was. in a very, full bow at the center and alsp* At each side, The ends of tft^bsby nb^ bon on the bolts extended tpota beneath the disks, ready to be drawn ont to the length required and cut- off.

These are simply specimen articles for Easter gifts. With art linen, silk, cardboard and ingenuity there is no end to the pretty things that may be sent, with loving words born of the Easter time, to appreciative friends. Veil .and moucboir oases, safety pin books, tiny silk bags with needlebook bottoms, and hairpin and hair receivers are all per fectly appropriate if accompanied by cards bearing Easter greetings.

JENNIE TAYLOR WANDLE.

THE NEW WOMAN.

of

She Is a Brave Worker and Helper the Race.

A woman's ideals of herself at different ages are interesting. The ideal of the sentimental, old time girl was to be the center of a group of admiring men, all sighing for her favor, all ready to fight for her or commit suicide, aocord ing to temperament. A little later in life, when the old woman was married, her ideal of life was to have a husband worshiping at her feet, providing her with every luxury and carrying her through life on a bed of roses, she never even having an anxions thought or lift ing a finger. She, she herself, was still the center of the universe. When the old woman beoame really aged, her ideal changed once. more. She was to sit in a corner and have her children and grand obildren wait on her and make everything easy for her. Still she herself was the center of everything, and all must skip about to take care of her and make things soft for her. This was her ideal, still having her own foolish vanity fed None of the sex ever attained it, but it lingered always in their imagination. Idleness, luxury and having their vanity pandered to was their idea of earthly felicity. Many an ignorant, ro mantio girl of 16 to 18 cherishes the sloppy, sentimental ideal of lovers still, being dead sure to have it dispelled by a lightning stroke before long. Men are not around worshiping girls and flying at each other's throats for them in these days when women are so plenty, and quite right they are too. Now, the new woman's ideal of life is totally different from that of the old woman. Instead of being waited on and petted through life and flattered she considers herself as one born to help with the world's work Life to her means serious business. She is born for some useful purpose. She is here for what she can give to the world of good, not for what she can get out of it. She is here not to be ministered to, but to minister. If she is poor or if she is rioh, she does not sit with folded hands and whine about what she would do if she were a man. She just goes on and does it anyhow, man or woman. She knows that for the courageous and the industrious of either sex there are rioh prizes to be won. Women who sit still and tell about what they would do if they were men are only making ex0US68 for thtiir own laziness. They oould do just what they liked anyhow if they had any pluok. The woman who plays the part of being helpless and dependent and waited on onght to die and leave the spaoe she occupies for one who is of

Mrs. G. H. Rosenfeld of New York oity is editor of a useful paper just started. It is in magazine form, is issued weekly and is oalled The Universe. Its object

iB

to give the news of each

week in condensed form, but also in a form whioh makes it attractive and easy reading. Its news embraces events happening all over the world, and Mrs. JRosenfsld's easy, simple literary style especially fits her to be its editor.

Miss Martha Partington is assistant clerk of the court of special sessions, Brooklyn. She is an accomplished stenographer, and this fact, in addition to her knowledge of court usages and documents, secured the place for her.

You man, how do you know what is or is not suitable for a woman to do? Were you ever a woman?

Mrs. Helen Campbell is dean of the Kansas State Agricultural college and professor of household economics and hygiene in that institution*.^.

Miss C. Mead of McDonald,SP$., took a very thorough oourse of instruction in architecture and housebuilding some time since. She is now, manager and chief estimator of the Mead Construction company. In this capacity she lately closed a contract for the entire work of building the new Christ church, Lacrosse, Wis. Miss Mead did not sit down and wish she were a man so she could become an architect. She just went on and became an architect.

Miss Lillian Small, only ldyearsold, is the government observer on Cape Cod. She must watch the ships that pass in the day, make out their names through her telescope and telegraph news of them to the chamber of commerce of Boston. She also Bends news to the Boston papers.

Here is an editorial remark from Miss Helen M. Window's handsome paper* the Boston Clubwoman, whioh Is par* ticolarly to the point, "Why is it that a spirited, not to say rancorous, debate in a woman's club or organisation causes ao much astonished newspaper comment, whereas a free fight in the French chamber of deputies, the Austrian reichsrath, the English home of commons or our own august senate is looked on as something to be expected and not at all worthy of animadversion?"

across in ascot fashion. They will be worn with all outdoor blouses and tailor suits. The long ones are of heavy ribbon.

One handsome style of*design has two wide and one narrow stripe of very dark blue and three stripes of gray, with a series of graduated blue lines over them. Over all is a rich moire effect, and the ends have a fringe three inches deep .beaded by a row of fancy knotting ah inch and a half deep. This is sewed to the bottom of the ribbon and is all in blue and not simply the fringed out ribbon. There are dozens of other styles, the sailor knot being a fa vorite.

For handsome home gowns there is a very rich stuff of wool and silk. The figure becomes a brocade, introducing three or four well ohosen colors of silk on a wool ground. Some of these are in floral design, like autumn leaves on a dull moss or brown surfaoe. There are others where the brocaded effect brings out a series of waved lines in shades. Some of these are horizontal and some perpendicular. The vague atad elusive oheney idea is also seen in these, the oolored flowers or whatever figure is wrought apparently fading into the ground. Some other designs have soft stripes, with delicate and fluffy silken tufts over the surface. Many goods show this tufted effect.

One princess gown for a middle aged lady, half tight fitting and with a /watteau back, was a handsome design. The skirt was plain, but the waist was trimmed with black esourial lace. The front had a sort of fichu made of plain silk to match the wool groundwork, edged with the lace.

The organdies, zephyrs and other summer goods are seen in new assigns or with some new feature every day. The organdies have heavier coi\0s and more indistinct and delicate figurings. The zephyrs nearly' all show more and more pronounced Scotch plaids, though the choicest of these are small and fine. Some of these new ginghams show a regnlar nap like cotton flannel. Some of the organdies show ribs in stripes and ohecks and dappled blotohes. Others have rococo fancies with ribbonlike stripes. The list of designs is simply overwhelming. Flowers in decided colors and in faint tints, autumn leaves, branches of coral, ferns and many other pretty designs are seen and all are reasonably cheap. V'-

Among the new wooletffffor spring are the "snowflakes." These have very light grounds, of pale greens, lavender, oadet, beige, tan, gray, pink and bisouit, with tiny, silky tufts of white woven in-so that ,tbey nearly oover the surface.

Sleeves are seen ih such a variety of new fancies that one cannot begin to mention tbem in one letter, but one may say -that they seem to be jjdvided into two classes—the tight one with stiffened

FIGURES OF SPEECH,

And this was the something she placidly rehd "Jane Ann then determined to enter the shed, And, cautiously dropping her eyes on the floor, They fell on the snake which had caught them before."

Interruption was rude, the dear child had been taught, 80 he said not a word, but he thought and he thought* And the longer he pondered the stranger it grew— The thing that Jane Ann was reported to do.

He felt of his eyes with mysterious doubt And wondered how Bhe oould have taken hers out And how—thfs was really what puzzled him more— They could fall on a thing which had caught them before. —Mary E. Bradley in St. Nicholas.

A SHERMAN ROMANCE.

His Old. California Sweetheart Loyal to the General.

When General William Tecumseb Sherman was a raw subaltern in the United States army, without fame or laurels and little apparent hope of winning either, relates the Chicago Chroniole, be wooed and won a beautiful Spanish girl then living in Monterey, Oal. Dona Maria Ygnaoia Bonifacio fell beneath the ardent glances of the lank, ungainly youth just as the flag o! the sister republio was lowered before the triumphant .army led by Scott. Today she is still true to her early love and unaware of the fame and death of her lover.

California was then a part of the Mexioan republio. Sherman, like many another, was forced to make war against the land of the Montezumas. In the olosing year of the struggle, when California was ocoupied and became apart of the United States, Sherman was assigned to duty on the coast. Here he met the fair dona, lost his heart to hex and won hers in return. She was a member of an old aristocratio Spanish family, and the subaltern was congratulated upon his lnok. To emphasize hie devotion, the young officer in 1655 planted arose tree before the entranoe to the home of bis beloved.

Then came the inevitable misunderstanding which accompanies every romance. The lovers disagreed. Sherman left the army and went east to take up the law. He never afterward saw his sweetheart, nor did she ever permit bi£ name to be mentioned in her hearing. She speaks Spanish only, never reads a newspaper, and while the nation has sung the praises of the hefo of Atlanta the Spanish maiden knows nothing of him from the day he left her. She still, although long past her youth, waits for the return of the man whose image has never left her heart.

But in spite of the separation of the sweethearts that rose tree throve and waxed great. Now its branches have spread until they form a beautiful bower over the doorway of the old Spanish mansion. Here the dona, sole survivoz of her race, sits and waits, silent and alone, for the return of him who cannot oome. Under the bower of rosea due to her lover's care she stood recently and permitted her portrait to be taken. She is still very beautiful in spite of the ravages of time and secret sorrow.

The Coast Defences.

One-half the number of improved cannon, mortars and emplacements will be located and placed in suitable position ere the expiration of 1808. The Artillery Board is constantly making practical surveys, so far as these relate to the army, and the establishment of adequate military protection of our sea board is receiving strong endorsement. Meanwhile there is a means of defence from greater physical calamity, and thst is the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which by restoring the tone of the nerres and stomach, invigorates the entire system. It io prevents malarial, kidney and rheumatic ailments, and cares bilousneas and constipation. Those who have been cured by it speak in no uncertain terms as to its effectiveness.

FORTUNE FOR. A VASE.

Celebrated Pieces of China, Their Valne and Their Owners.

Ten thousand guineas paid by the Earl of Dudley for an antique vase and awer of early Sevres china was the largest sdih ever paid for a vase. It was afterward sold to Baron Schroder for 8,000 guineas. Five thousand guineas was paid at the sale ol the LynesStephens collection'in 1895 for an oviform vase of old ^Vres porcelain, painted with horsemen and, figures, after Wouvermans, fitid a trophy hf arms in two medalliohs .with fluted heck and bandies formed a$ gilt figures of boys, by Dodin andJMorin, 15% inches high. The price included a pair of oviform, flat shaped vases of comparatively small value, apart from the one above described, the three being one set which formed part of the Earl of Pembroke's collection.

In Mr. Jones' collection of pottery and porcelain at the South Keusington museum there is an egg shaped Gros Bleu Sevres vase with medallions of Cupid and Psyche which was acquired for 8,000 guineas. The celebrated Barberini or Portland vase, now preserved in the gold chamber of the British museum, was purchased by Sir. W. Hamilton for £1,000, and afterward sold to the Duchess of Portlafid for £1,800. A historical vase was reoently put under the hammer at Christie's. It was one of a pair presented to the Marquis of Montcalm (the defender of Quebec) by Louis XV. The last bid for this splendid work of art was £1,995. One of the largest vases in the world was a present from the late czar to the city of Paris. It is made from an immense! blook of jasper, is eight feet high and is valued at £1,500.—London Tit-Bits. 1
