This is be eaus the type oi reoognized iacial 'beauty in woman changed hsa re- nsakably In the last 2o years. Gradu ally the very points that used to be be considered the most essential have altered or been lost eight of in the heightened appreciation for others. Tske eyes, for instance. Large eyes are beautiful, of course, yet the average pretty woman of today has not large eyes. She has bright, clear or steady ones, bnt tbey are seldom the big, round child-eyes that the girl of a while ago must have had to be thought pretty. A last analysis of the pretty woman of today leads one to suspect that the general education of women and the ■pecial education of the college girl has had something to de with the new idea of beauty. The second picture in Tht college bred type. tbis column is of a woman who was the belle of ber class at college and wbo, daring ber past asason, has been ac knowledged a superbly beautiful woman. The smooth, plump neck and rippling nair are there', but no picture can do full justice to her eyes with their sparkle of wit and challenge that daz zles yon into an acknowledgment, of tbeir beauty when they meet yours. The mouth bas charmed by a thousand curves of shifting change, each making her more adorable than the lest, each a challenge to discount ber beauty if you dare. The beauty of her face is potent aglow witb health, sympathy, passion, vitality and Intelligence. A beauty be yond question, and as surely one of a new type within the past score of years. Another woman, older tban the beau ty of 20 years back ever wae, is acknowl edged as a type of today's loveliness. She is 30, at least, which in Itself is a new idea. Her copper-colored bair, a mass of glossy wavings, is caught np back after a manner all ber own, and its profusion emphasizes the extreme delicacy oi her features. The nose is dainty enough in its faintly Roman out line. The lips are firm, a little thin, bnt even in the picture ready to speak words tbat sparkle. The eyes, again, are not large, but are at once keen, shadowed and well arched by fine eye brows. She ia essentially a beauty of today, nervous, delicately and vividly, colored, with the full throat and fine skin whicb are now a requisite. She possesses, besides, that intensity whicb is hardly passion, tbe warmth which is not quite fire, the alertness tbat is more wit tban intellect, and tbe spirituality that is after all not soul. The face ie not at all the face of the girl Just passed, yet in it are some of the same characteristics. This pictured face, too, is evidently hardly as eloquent of its own beauty as is the radiant original. Modern beauty is a thing of sparkle, mood, change, glow and of many other things, whicb, some how, do not picture themselves, save on the mind. Older than KKM OllCt permitsihtf. Another face among the accepted tynee, that of a very young girl, as shown in the fourth illustration, Ucks the tboughtfnlness of tbe first face end the experience of the second. It is ch!hi, almost placid, with tne Btrangn element | of self poise that is In every such face i as a foundation for its cairn. The ears are large, and so are ii,ose in tbe other picture, Tbe beauty of long ago bad- FASHION NOTES V delicate, shell-like ears, almost too small to hear with. The modern beanty has good sized ears. The hair is again beautiful, rippling and with an appear ance of being upright just at the roots and so prettily free. It is ar ranged with the individuality that all these beauties show in the management of tbeir tresses. It seems just tbe sort of hair to turn loosely irom her smooth forehead, and all women of this type bave smooth foreheads. Non* Still taking on beauty. of them has o blankor undeveloped one. Again, tbe eyes are not large bnt are steady and clear, while the lids that shadow the eyes in the second face are almost defiant in their steady level. This third face lacks ths brilliancy of either oi the other. The lips are a lit tle fuller, and one needs to be told that the skin is clear and brilliant, and the lips riotous with changeful smiles and wistfulness, to realize that tbe face is a beautiful one, and one tbat gives promise of even more loveliness. It is different from the other two, but fine coloring, steady eyes and mobility of feature are here, and self poise, which should never be lacking. The most dengerous modern beauty is the ugly belle. She seems absolutely irresistible. She suits all tastes, she rules the men unchallenged, and not until you see her face pictured and dis cover what havoc she has made among your admirers do yon realize with a shock that she is downright ugly. Sho has the pretty hair our belles always have, and it is tossed up as only tbey dare to handle it. The forehead is so high that tbe fringe is imperative. The eyes, her most irresistible feature as every one admits, are distinctly smaH, and tbe brows above are well marked. Tbis girl's admirers will tell you that her beauty dazzles tbem, tbnt her lips quiver and scorch red with ! the wit and fire of her speech, and that no such eyes ever dazzled a man I blind. Somehow, tbe preise of wit anil dazzling qualities always comes clo c upon acknowledgement of a beauty. It i is hard to choose from these four typical faces. They are all so different, yet so oddly alike. In tbem all are health, self poise, brilliant wit and much more than the mere cbarm of sex. Bn. : points will characterize the face of every mode in beauty that you turn your daz zled eyes upon. The ugly type—to women. To do tbe hair in tbe prettiest way for tbe present fashions in evening wear, part off tho front hair from the forehead straight around the bead, so that a fringe falls over the ears and the nape of tbe neck. This fringe is very thin at the forehead and a little thicker at tbe tompleß and from there around the head. It is cut very Bhort across tbe forehead and curled in tiny little corkscrews, whicb, if you prefer, may be combed out soft. At the temples the fringe is made into two curls, which bang well down on the cheek; tbe next two over the ears hang a little longer, falling to tbe side of tbe neck, the rest graduate prettily, the three or four at the back hanging even and short. Above these at tbe beck the bair is drawn into a round coil which extends till it is even with the top of the head. A tiny band passes around the head just above the short forehead fringe, under tbe temple and ear cnrls, and again over tbe curls at tbe back of tbe neck. This proves the side curls real, but it is so slight a detail that if you like to buy a bandeau witb tbe whole set attached you may do so, and no one will notice tbe difference unless the thing should slip down over your pretty little nose. This fashion of the bair iB not co trying as tbat of drawing the hair from a centre part, and the lit tle bang in front gives tbe youthful ef fect we all like, while quaintnees and demurenees are suggested by the side curls. These side locks are most gentle to hollow cheeks. Itever effects, deep frills and berthas are much in vogue, and the terms Beem almost interchangeable and applied to any elaboration of effect about the shoulders and bust. A popular finish for a low neck gown is a bertha of lace, standing well out over the shoulders and straight across along its lower edge ; no sleeves ebow. Tbe rage for ruffles is a regular delirium.

WOMEN KNOWN TO FAME. How Suaaa B. Anthony nnd BillSaMSi Cndy Stanton B«cor4 History. "If yon want to know bow moth or and Susan B. Anthony act together," said Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Elisabeth Cady Stanton's daughter, 'Til give yon a let ter I wrote abont them when they were writing their old history of woman's suf frage." The letter was written in 1885, bnt Mrs. Lawrence asserts that things are much the same now aa then. It was dated at Tenafly, N. J., where Mrs. Stanton was living. "Mother and Susan," wrote Mrs. Law rence, "are busy all day and far into tha night on volume 8 of "The History of Woman Suffrage.' As our house faces the sonth, the sunshine streams in all day. In the center of a large room, £0 by 28, with an immense bay window, hard wood floor and open fire, beside a substantial office desk with innumerable drawers and doors, there, vis-a-vis, sit the historians, surrounded with manu scripts and letters from Maine to Louisi ana. In the center of the desk are two inkstands and two bottles of mucilage, to say nothing of divers pens, pencils, scissors, knives and 'erasers. "As these famous women grow in tense im working up some glowing sen tence or pasting some thrilling quotation from John Stuart 1811, Dumas or Seore tan, I have Been tbem again and again dip their pens in the mucilage and their brushes in the ink. These blunders bring them back to the facts of history, where indeed they should be if that blessed word finis is ever to be written. Sub rosa, it is as good as a comedy to watch these souls from day today. They start off pretty well in the morning. They are fresh and amiable. They write page after page with alacrity; they laugh and talk, poke tho fire by turns and ad mire the flowers I have placed on their desk. Everything is harmonious for a season. "But after straining their eyes over the most illegible, disorderly manu scripts I ever beheld suddenly the whole literary sky is overspread. From the adjoining room I hear a hot dispute. The dictionary, the enoyclopedia, all the journals neatly piled in a corner, are overhauled and tossed about in the n.ost emphatic manner. "Susan is punctilious on dates, moth er on philosophy, but each contends aa stoutly in the other's domain as ii it were her own particular province. Some times these disputes run so high that down go the pens, and one sails out of one door and one out of the other. And then, just as I have made up my mind that this lieauriful friendship of 40 years has at last terminated, I gee tbem, arm in arm, walking down the hill to a seat where we often go to watch the sun set in all his glory. "When they return, they go straight to work where they left off as if nothing had happened. I never hear another word on that point. The one that was unquestionably right assnmes it, and the other silently concedes the fact. They never explain, nor apologise, nor shed tears, nor make up, as other people do, but figuratively speaking jump over a stone wall at one bound and leave the past behind them." As Mrs. Lawrence said, things are much the same now with the two friends as they were eight years ago, when Mrs. Stanton was only threescore years and ten and Miss Anthony was not yet out of her sixties. They live in peace and har mony still. Miss Anthony is still the au thority on dates, and Mrs. Stanton still writes the "state papers." They are still criticised and sometimes ridiculed, but they are too strong in their own convic tions and too broad minded in their tol erance to do otherwise than laugh about it. And they are still planning for greater work than ever. To the constitutional convention of next May is to be present ed a petition signed by a million men and women over 21 years of age asking that the word male be expunged from the constitution. At any rate, that is the work planned by these two friends.— New York Sun. Queen Victoria Smiled. Queen Victoria recently went to a pho tograph gallery at Newport, isle of Wight, "to be taken." Just as She was posed the local mayor entered with a bouquet, which he was about to present in a prepared speech. He got stuck fn his lines —became so amazingly flustered tbat her royal highness laughed, and just then the photographer snapped his camera. The portrait, with the face lighted up with a smile, gives altogether a different impression of tbe queen. Her laughs are so rare that events have been reckoned from tbem heretofore. This is said to be the only picture taken of the queen when she was smiling or laugh ing.—New York Press. A Recollection. I remember wben I thought it un worthy of Lucy Stone to speak in public as she did, because I thought it was hard ly proper for a woman to be so conspic uous. I speak of this because it pains me to think that any woman should ever have looked askance at one who was so great and noble a laborer for the inter ests of her sex. But I was only one of many, and we should be thankful that our horizon has broaden od to its present circumference. If Mrs. Stone were to start again today she would not find, as sbe did then, that nearly the whole world was against her.—Julia Ward Howe. Writer and Musician. Miss Hildegard Werner is the latest musician to appear before Queen Vic toria. She is a Swede who studied the pianoforte at Stockholm and the violin in Paris. She is a journalist and writes musical news for several papers. King Oscar of Sweden hae just conferred on her a gold medal. —Stockholm Letter. Use Gebman Family Boat.

SPRING STREET, NEAR THIRD. COLLECTING STAMPS. A Philatelist Wbo Is Working to Obtain For Himself a Cork Leg. Fred Ullrich, a young had of Sycamore, nig., ia collecting 1,000,000 canceled post age stamps. Some time ago Fred, while returning home one evening, was attacked by a fieroe mastiff. Tbe animal came near lolling the boy, bnt it was finally driven off by some citizens who came up. The dog had bitten tbe boy so badly that one leg had to hp amputated, and on arm was rendered useless. The Ullrichs are not rich, so the boy adopted a plan by which he is to secuve for himself a cork leg. The leg has been promised him if he succeeds in collecting 1,000,000 can celed postage stamps. The other day young Ullrich received by express a bag weighing 100 pounds, filled with canceled postage stamps and bits of paper torn from the envelopes. They had been sent by Miss Alice Smith, a clerk in the employ of Hibbard, Spen cer, Bartlett & Co. Miss Smith had seen an advertisement ef the boy's purpose in a newspaper, and she wrote him to in quire as to the truth in the case. The reply she received was satisfactory, and she began collecting stamps. The large bag received tbe other day by the boy came from her. Miss Smith gets all the envelopes from the heavy mail received by the firm. Yesterday afternoon she was tearing stamps off of envelopes, of which she had a large number. While doing this work she explained how she had become interested in the boy's case and had resolved to help bim. "It's not so much work, and it will benefit him," she said. "It didn't take very long to collect those tbat I sent him, and I may send some more." —Chi- cago Record. HOW HE WAS CURED. A Highly Dramatic Epliode That Led a Drunkard to Swear Off. Not long ago a prominent Main street merchant was a confirmed drunkard. He loved liquor so madly that he was a misery to himself and every one about him, especially to his young and hand some wife. One night recently he de cided to commit suicide. He told his wife about it, and she was so miserable that she said if he was to end his exist ence she wanted to die too. The man proceeded to a drugstore in tbe western part of the oity," near bis residence, and purchased 20 cents' worth of chloral. He returned home and divided tbe poison equally, and while they were in tbe no tion eaoh swallowed the drug. The young wife walked to the bed like a brave woman or coward, as you please, and laid herself down to die. It was different with the husband. As soon as the poison bad been taken he began to regret the step. In a few minutes he be came frantic and rushed off to the drug store where he had procured the chloral and told the druggist the situation. He was relieved, with some trouble, of the poison, but they had a hard time in sav ing the wife. She finally recovered, how ever, and they get along happily together now, as the experience caused the man to stop drinking. This is a true story. Only three persons in Louisville know the details, and all were sworn to secre cy tbe night it all happened.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Will Pullman Follow Suit? All the trains on tbe District railway will soon bo.provided with electric wad ing lamps, to be worked upon the "pen ny-in-the-slot" principle. Preparations are so far advanced that the wiring of the carriages is nearly completed. About 2,500 lamps will be required. They are very ingeniously constructed. A penny dropped into the box will set a small clock in motion for half an hour, during which time the current will tie switched on, and the lamp will throw its concen trated rays direct upon the book or news paper of the passenger who pays for it and nobody else. Bhould any mischiev ous person tamper with the apparat us an electric warning will be sounded in the guard's van. Each lamp will be of 20 candle power, and there will be four in each compartment. The current is de rived from a battery, which will supply four lamps. No date can be assigned for the commencement of tbis special sys tem of illumination, but it is probable that it will be inaugurated some time this month.—London Telegraph. A Niuety-nin* Tears' Sentence. Frank Moore, a notorious burglar, was last month sentenced in St. Louis to 99 years' imprisonment in the Missouri pen itentiary at Jefferson City. He is other wise known as Bart McGuire and has given much trouble to the police in all the large cities of the west. His present sentence, which is unprecedented in St. Louis, was bestowed under tbe habitual criminal law, an old act which had been allowed to grow rusty upon the statute books and had been almost forgotten. It provides for a sentence, upon a second conviction, of not less than 10 years nor more than 99. Moore is 48 years old and says he was born in England.—St. Louis Correspondent. Laughed Herself to Death. Bertha Pruett, aged 20 years, laughed herself to death the other night. She was entertaining a number of friends, one of whom, a young man, is noted as a wit. Ono of his remarks threw Miss Pruett into a violent fit of laughing, which lasted some minutes, when it sud denly changed to a cry of pain, and she fell to the floor. Blood gushed from her nose and mouth, and medical assistance Was sunimonod, but before anything could be done to relieve tho young girl she was dead. The young man who cracked the fatal joke is prostrated with grief.—Philadelphia Dispatch. Swore to Hia Name Both Waya. One of the bureaus of the treasury de partment received a document last month in wbich a claimant's name was spelled in two ways. Tbe office sent word to tho claimant that he must make an affidavit as to the correct spelling. On Wednesday the affidavit came. The claimant spells his name in one way in the body of the paper and signs it in aa* other. —Washington Capitol. Girls' Cricket Clnb. It is intended to form a girls' cricket club in connection with the South Lon don Polytechnic. Miss Helen Smith, B.
