2 WOMAN'S WORLD. IDLERS AND DAWDLERS WHO WASTE j A •UfwMCT'S OPPORTUNITIES. Women Condemn the nassslag—Why She Joined the Salvation Army—Amalcur ! DrrM»>akiti( Fad In Leaden —A Clever | Hairdresser—Mias Hill fnmplnlnt / It is bard to imagine any thing more idle or insufferably stupid than the sum kner life of the average woman boarder. One day's prograrnnio from June until Potober varies tittle from another. After tii'iilifiiiil all gather on tbe piazza to dst jplay their fresh, crisp morning cambrics, jsvhan they dismiss the chances of a hot pay, a cool day, a rainy or sunny one. The nervous and timid ones describe the )agoay tbey endured during: last night's thunderstorm, and ttjo invalid a expatiate on their sufferings. Finally each settles down to her novel or piece of fanoy work. Conversation goes on in a jerky, discon certed way. which is neither entertain ing nor highly instructive. Thero may be one solitary man among ten women, a generous proportion, according to all report* tbia suirmter. Saab one is a/mid of saying or doing anything unconventional., and tho more htgh toned the resort tbe more each one stifles herself. Wt-at a dreadful thing It would be to make an undesirable ac quaintance! Who is Mrs. Sanger, and what is her husband's business? Did yon bear on what afreet Mrs. Phillips lived? and so on. The same excruciatingly ex otasive manners are pot on as in the co teries during the .winter, and all this jshatn in faco of the grandest scenery, beside the ocean, the forests or the . mountains. What a mockery seem all the vain little airs of the younger women land the patronizing schemes of the older ones I With a few exceptions the majority of tsee city bred oreatures would be just near to nature's heart back hi their jotty drawing rooms. To be sure they know how to rave over a pretty doll o» ia beautiful sunset; they can utter neat phrases about the moonlight shining htongh the "murmuring pines and hem uooks," but they are insensible to country jcharms in any deep sense. They do not (feel the words they speak, for hero are (the same rivalries, the same varieties, (the same slarrery to fashions. The unso jpbistioated girl, who thinks more of the trow than the boating dress or of tbe ten uis than the suit she has on, is a rare [bird. With the exception of the great centers, Bar Harbor and Newport, where dissipation is made a business, such mo notony reigns that it is a wonder how jany one can endnre it. > Quiet reigns, interrupted only by the arrival of the mail or the passing a styl tish backboard. If tbe quiet brought peace and tranquillity, then the object of ihe summer's onting would be well ac complished, but it does not, for most of them are restless, uneasy and vainly •striving to have a good time. Complete Test they do not desire, for they are not tired—as a rule they have done nothing (to make them tired. Occasionally thero 4s the artist who sketches in earnest, or Ithe student who believes a change of oc cupation is the only rest needed. Even tin a group busy with the needlo not one is probably doing anything sensible. jMost likely one is crocheting a tidy, just las if the tidy had not been discarded long ago as A nuisance. Another is embroid ering pansies twice as big, as the natural •ones on a table scarf, and the third is working a flower design on a shoebag In pink and green that will fade out colorless tbe first time washed. "Whata queer woman that Mrs. Clapp is I She says she makes moat of her chil dren's underclothing through the sum- Irner," as if It wero almost a desecration b-f the long summer days to accomplish &n them any real work.—Brooklyn Eagle. Women Condemn the Danciug. A report on tho Midway plaieance was introduced into an unusually tame ses sion ff the lady managers of the fair by ta call for the report of a committee ap pointed to send out cards to the women jtn the Midway plaisance for the purpose •f. inviting them to the Woman's build ing. They were there to be shown its ieauties by members of tho board. The committee had made no report and had taken no action. ! But the women needed no report to set |b»zn talking. Isabella Beccher Hooker was the first to speak. She reviewed briefly .the character of the famous street und said in conclusion: > "I think we had better invite that quar ter, not in bulk, as has been suggested, ibut very much in detail." "Do you mean to say," cried one of ithe women, jumping to her feet as Mrs. [Hooker sat down, "that any woman has ifallen so low that the board of lady man agers will not hold out A helping hand to her?" This brought Mrs. Barker to the plat form. "I will take second place to no one in missionary work," she said. "I went to the plaisance yesterday, impelled iby a sense of duty. 1 never have been so grieved or shocked in my life as at the things I saw. I shall most certainly op jwse inviting the women who-perform in tho theaters there to meet socially the members of this board. They are, many mt them, not representatives of foreign nations, but women of Chicago, chosen to act these disgusting parts. Can you endure the thought that your sons and daughters should witness such spectacles? I consider it our duty rather than to en tertain these people to enter a protest against them and demand that the places where they perform be closed. Appoint me as a committee, and I will plead with these women heartily at whatever cost, but I strongly object to tbe board put ting themselves on record as entertain ers of the women who so grossly violate the name by dancing in the Midway." Then Mrs. Barker sat down and cried as if her heart would break. Mra. Felton hastened to tender her support. ''I want to say," she said, "that I went with Mrs. Barker into these places, impelled, like ber. by a high sense of duty. Regarding our experiences I can only add that I had ao idea we were living so near such demonstrations." — Chicago Cor. New York World. Why She Joined the Salvation Army. A daughter of wealthy parents joining the Salvation Army and going to work in the slums! That is not simply an in dent;, it is an event. It was net the re sult of caprice, but of conviction, for the young woman is not subject to fits of aberration, but is counted by those wbo know her as a remarkably level beaded person. She made the reasons for her action public at Prohibition park the other day, and if they do not appear to be entirely conclusive they are at least very cogent. No one can read them without respect and possibly reverence for her motives. She said: "For 10 years my name was on a church roll, hut lons before that time had expired I decided that my Christian life was a dismal failure and a most un happy hypocrisy. The reason was that my rohgura was confined to certain times and places, while at other times and in other places I deliberately did things upon which I could not ask God's blessing." She felt a responsibility for the crime and sin in the world, believed that the poor creatures who are generally shunned should be sought ont, encouraged, helped to a better life; that she had no right to enjoy the luxuries of life while tbey were starving, and that if it was possible for ber to save some drunken man or some fallen woman she had no business to shirk the duty, however disagreeable or irksome. So she gave np everything, and, unlike the rich young man whom the Saviour advised to do the same thing, she did not hesitate. You can find her nightly amid scenes of brawling is the low resorts of this city, an evangel, a minister of mercy, an angel of peace.—New York Telegram. Amateur Dressmaking Fad In London. The amount of amateur dressmaking going on at present is astonishing, aad the fnu thero is over it and interest taken in it are most encouraging to beginners. Even sedate fathers of families are taken into tbe confidence of their girls about their dressmaking doings, while brothers find it a fruitful form'of chaff, and though pretending to decry really ad mire the skill of their own and other fel lows' sisters. Girls who have no other occupation in life find that dressmaking is a great interest to them and an im mense .saving in their dress allowance. They spend a few hours with their scien tific dresscutting charts, the best and the most original of these being so far sim plified now as to be within easy compre hension of the most ordinary intelligence, and straightway they fashion the bar gain of a pound or so into an up to date, smart and charming costume of which they feel justly proud. A dress which was bought at a sale for 80 shillings, inclusive of all necessa ries for its build, is to be worn next week. It is of fancy cloth, the color willow leaf green. The skirt has a deep, frayed out rijiche of shaded green silk around the heon. The bodice is a folded one of cream colored twill silk with lace insertion, and over it is a short bolero coat of green and cream brocade, out lined all round with small cream colored and green gimp ornaments. Tbere is a sash of cream colored satjn, which is tied at one side. It is to all intents and pur poses an 8 or 9 guinea gown and would easily pass for such if the wearer were not too proud of her share in its produc tion to allow it to do so.—London Tele graph. A Clover Hairdresser. Thero is in Washington a professional hairdresser who makes a comfortable liv ing while congress is in session. It is an easy matter to get tbe name of the poli tician from Miami, Ind., or Waterloo. la. A note is sent to his wife asking per mission to show her a more becoming way of arranging her hair. Some com prehensive hint ia volunteered with a mild compliment. The letter is marked "personal.'" a verbal answer is requested, and in eight out of ten attempts the New York hairdresser gets an answer to call. Oddly enough, it is the husband who urges her claim. Ho wants his wife to look like other women. At home she was all right, but in cosmopolitan life she is something of a fright, and although he despises himself for the thought he is ashamed of her. In an hour's time the hairdresser puts a new face on the wom an from the woods. She may not use an inch of false hair, but she wields a crimping iron in a way that takes years of farm life from her appearance. The troubled, shy face is not .made ridiculous. Instead of curls the iron gray hair is cleaned, brushed until it is fluffy, crimped enough to rip ple and look three times its own quanti ty, and then it is dressed. Instead of the long iron wire hairpins little 6hell pine are used, and tho coils are so lightly caught that the wondering Hoosier wife reckons it will not be long before they all drop out. Women who refuse to have their hair cnt futo a hang are provided with a false front, but in every instance the transformation is admirable. The hill ia sent to the congressman, and it is cheerfully paid.—San Francisco Argo naut. Miss Hill Complains. The mischiof resulting from what may be called vicarious beneficence or the dis tribution of alms at other people's ex pense is complained of by Miss Octavis Hill, known fis well iv charitable circles in this country as in England. The Lon don county council has before it schemes for buildings for the working classes, and Miss Hill points out that the advo cates of such measures must consider that the bulk of the working people of London either can or cannot be accom modated in such buildings. If only par tial accommodation is to be provided, sho maintains, the erection of such build ings, or even the poseibiUty of their erec tion, will greatly paralyze individual ef fort. Much has been done by societies and individuals during the last 80 years to provide good houses for working peo ple on a self supporting basiH. They are ready to extend the work, hut not if they must compete with buildings subsidized by state aid. This is no imaginary dan ger, for Miss Hill declares that ahe knows this result to have already followed in specified instances.—New York Post. Time to Protest. Tho development of sandwiches has up to the present time been confined to tho "filling," butan exchange in, its cook ing column, enlarges tho list of sweet sandwiches to include "any fruit sliced, sprinkled with wine and liquor and sugar and plafed between thin slices of stale sponge cake." Tliis is a real blow and opens a vista of as unattractive possibili ties as when tho old fashioned biscuit "shortcake" of our grandmothers, gener ous with, well sweetened and lusuiouj LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNIST3; AUGUST 28, 1893 strawberries and deluged with thick yel low cream, became the alum risen layer sponge cake, moloaing some dry, individ ual»tr»wterr»ps, which is the strawberry satwtcake of the restaurant. Let ua protest lead ant long against any "sanlwieh" from whioh bread, the Bine qua nan of all sandwiches, is elimi nated.—New York Times. Mra. Mnekay's Dinner. On Saturday night Mrs. Mackay, the silver king's wife, gave a big dinner of extraordinary magnificence in combined honor of the Duke of Edinburgh and Mr. Bayard, the new American embassador. The dinner was for 40, and at it were all tbe most presentable and gilded Ameri cans in London, and that delightful blending of aristocratically named Eng lish folk in whioh the Yankees delight This practice sometimes leads to dire re salts, as in the case where an American invited Lord Mar and Killie and Lord Mar to <Hi.neT. The two families have been in deafly fewd for centuries over disputed honors, but they had boon asked, said the hostess, "as, being rela tions, they ware sure to bo pleased to meet," and she of course sent down the wrong one first because he had two ti tles.—London Woman. Suppose Women Had Acted Sol If that row in the bouse of commons bad been made by women, bow it would have been quoted as proof that "the emo tional nature of women unfits tbem for political duties," that they are "lacking in the qualities that make statesmen" and "I told you so!" But the superior sex took if out in giving each other black I eyes and bad names and then went baok |to their seats content with their superi ority over women. But in fairness it I must be said that they had the grace to I apologize for their bad behavior.—Bos ton Woman's Journal. A Deliatons Summer Drink.

The Misses Plant, two Michigan girls, walked into Jackson park recently, and sitting down in the Michigan building announced that they had tramped all the way from Muskegon—B3o miles. One is a dressmaker and the other s teacher. They are just the kind of wom en for the World's fair, where there is little provision for the common variety of American women, whose legs give out on a mile walk.—Kate Field's Wash ington. A Glove Suspender Needed. Some Englishwomen keep up their long gloves by a ribbon garter, buckle and all. Any woman would pay a fair price for a glove suspender which would be pret.ty, keep her glove up and relieve her from the necessity of continually stretching her arm out and tidying up the long wriKt. No one knows tbe dis comfort, the nervous, irritating effect of that always slipping glove who has not had to wear it.—Exchange. Cutting Granges For the Table. A gentleman wbo has lived for years in the American countries in which the orange grows is waging a war against the slovenly manner of cutting the or ange up and serving it on the table. In such a case he recommends that a very sharp knife, one as keen as a razor, be used, and the fruit cut into slices infin itesimally thin and built, layer about, with pulverized sugar.—Pittsburg Dis patch. The Debnt of a California Heiress.

The memory of Miss Lncy M. Preen is fresh in the minds of all who had tho good fortune to be her pupils. Born at Worcester in 1810, she came to this city in 1831, and a few years later succeeded to the principalship of the school for girls founded by Mrs. Esther Smith. For 80 years thereafter "Miss Green's school" was perhaps the most famous private educational institution in this country. It numbers anjong its gradu ates women known in literature, art, science and society. Retiring from the school in 1869, Miss Green spont the remainder of her life in qniet beneficence and died on May 8 last at Worcester. Some years ago the L. M. Green association was formed among her old pupils to maintain in her hondr a summer homo for self supporting women. That home is to be her monu ment, and those who directly or indirect ly are indebted to Miss Green's school can show their appreciation of her work in no better way than by contributing to the continued support of that home.— New York Sun. i-.v . . t. CLEVER SHOOTING. RESULT OF TWO SHOTS LEARNED AFTER TWENTY-NINE YEARS. An Incident In tbe Practice Work of a Southern Field Day—Hew Colonel Rich ardson Came to Know That He Bast Done Souse Damage to Ills Enemies. When the Washington artillery was at Morgan City, there were many strik ing incidents that sprang ont of the cer emonies of dedicating Fort Star and of practicing with the solid shot. The whole day the war and ita memories were kept before the people, bnt it was not a reawakening in which the bloody shirt had any play, bnt more of a thoughtful retrospection, in whioh the recalling of battles was not with bitter ness, but with an impartial sadness. Among the happenings of the day none was more singular and noteworthy than one which occurred to Colonel Richard son, tho commander of the battalion. It was during the time when the bat teries were firing shell at the two tar gets, which looked like tiny handker chiefs on the water, they were so far away. A good shot was fired, and the spectators were applauding the excellent marksmanship, and the colonel stepped up to the gun to commend the gunner, when without cause or without knowing why the memory of a similar shot whioh had been fired 29 years ago almost to the very day flashed into his mind when he had stepped up to a gunner and compli mented him in much the same style. It was when he was at Fort Malone at the siege of Petersburg, which was known as Fort "Damnation," when tbe shot 29 years before had been fired, and the Fourth of July was almost the anni versary of the very day. Instead of white targets for a mark it had been the tops of two Sibley tents which peeped over the ramparts of Fort "Hell," just opposite Fort "Damnation.'* They were the tents of the Federal officers. He knew that from a deserter who had informed him, also that the officers of the whole command held a daily consultation there, and that he could tell the time from the fact that they hitched their horses around the tents. Colonel Richardson was then a cap tain in the Washington artillery, and he conceived the idea of scoring a point on the Federals by firing on the tents just at the time of the daily consultation. He selected the best gunner in his com mand and told him what ho wanted him to do, and that was to load and prepare the guns for a special shot which he was going to direct them to make the ensu ing day. The young captain was sure that he bad gunners he could depend up on, and to make his triumph complete he asked General Malone to be present when the shots were to be fired. It was noon the next day when the horses of the Federal officers were seen collected around the, two tents. The gunners were told to train their guns upon them and to be certain to make their shots tell. Those two shots were made the center of the interest of those in Fort "Damnation" for that day, for the word was passed around tbat the de struction Of the officers' tents was to bo attempted. After a deal of preliminary arrange m<-uu ii.o two shots were nred, and the tops of the two Sibley tents disappeaccd like cardhouses in a gale of wind. The success of the shots was the signal for cheering on the part of the Confederates. General Malone complimented the ac curacy of the artillerymen, and it was then that the captain stepped to the gun ner and expressed his approbation in much the same way that ho used to the one that had made the good shot at Mor gan City. But thero had always been a tinge of dissatisfaction about that shot at the Federal tents, and that was that he had never ascertained whether any one had been hurt in the tents, and for the 29 intervening years that one thought had pervaded the whole incident. With these thoughts in bis mind Colo nel Richardson turned away fiom the gunner at Morgan City, and at that mo ment one of Morgan City's prominent citizens, Mr. Gray, stepped to the colo nel's side and said: "Isn't this Colonel Richardson?" "Yes." "Well, I have been wanting to meet you fer many years, ever since I heard you had been in Fort 'Damnation' at the same time that I was in Fort 'Hell.'" "Yes?' said the colonel, "and when were you in Fort 'Hell?"' "In July, 1804. In fact, just 29 years ago today," answered Mr. Gray. The colonel instantly thought of those two Bhots and wondored if his curiosity was to be satisfied. "Do you remember a day while you were opposite me in Fort 'Hell' when the tents of the officers were taken down by two shots which wero almost simultaneous?" Tho stranger did not reply for a full minute. A shadow seemed to fall over him, his eyes grew dark, and he stepped back and surveyed tho colonel from head to foot. Then he broke out feelingly: "D nyoui I shall never forget those shots. They swept away the flower of my corps. My first lieutenant was killed, and the leg of my second lieutenant was shotoff, and five others were killed. And did you fire that shot?" The deep feeling of the man was evi dent, but a moment later he said, "Well, colonel, you are now teaching your young soldiers to serve the flag for which my officers laid down their lives."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Too Far Off. He had wandered about into dozens of stores hopelessly trying to match a piece of goods for his wife. At last he quit and leaned up against a post with the sample in his hand. "What's the matter?" asked a passing friend. "Sick?" "Yes. I guess I'll have to go to heav en," he replied, sticking the sample out aimlessly toward the inquirer. "What do you mean?" "Well, they say matches are made in heaven, and I guess they're right. I'll swear they're not made anywhere around here."—Detroit Free Press. Those Wuh White Frocks. "I don't think I fancy what you ladies call 'wash white' frocks," said a well known clergyman the other day, "They have such an after-the-picnic look to me."

Louisville is a healthy, hand some city of beautiful homes, lovely wojuen, brave man, lino horses and good whisky, bnt in no other city half or one fourth its size in the universe are so many nuisances permitted as in this one. Just think that the citizens are aroused from their beds in tbe early hours of the morning when sleep is sweetest, victims of sickness and disease are disturbed al most in tbe very arms of death, and all day long people in the streets are in dan ger feeling tho drums of their ears burst, and not an effort made to pnt a stop to the pandemonium of unearthly noises in our streets. The charcoal man's Co manche yells, the stale vegetable, fever producing peddler's bowls, the parrot tongued peddler of no-account bananas, the er-rags ol' ion collector, secondhand fruit distributers, big bells in advertising wagons, milk bells, scissors grinders' bells—all adding to one common bedlam of unending noises upon our principal business and residence streets.

A traveler stopped at a little cabin in the Georgia woods. He-wore a white rose on his coat—one that a little girl had pluoked and pinned there as he was leaving home. A woman entered the cabin. She stood and gazed at tho rose a moment Then, darting forward, she tore it from the stranger's coat and stamped it on tbe rude floor. "Why did you do that?" asked the stranger leaping to his feet. "Hush!" said a man who was sitting near. "That's my wife, an—an—she ain't right here"—tapping his forehead. "We had a little girl once, with blue eyes an hair like a sunset. She won dered off among the roses one day—lost, lost I—an when we found her she was where the roses grow, an they was creep in over her. An the wife there went mad, an now she says the roses stole the child an hid her away from us forever, an she goes about an tramples them— just like she did the rose there on the floor!"— New York Recorder.
