IT WAS MEN'S RIGHTS DAY.
POINT O' WOODS THE CENTRE OF
ATTRACTION FOR MANY OF THE
MALE SEX YESTERDAY.
ST. C7.AIR M'KET.WAY, AS PKBgfJHNXI OFFICER,
GIVES HIS ASSOCIATES A CHANCE
To SPEAE OUT.
The early train from New-York to Pay Shore
carried yesterday morning s pnrty of Qothamltea
**vho were to take perl in the ceremonies" of Men's
Day at Point o' Wood?, either BS speakers or ns
audience.
Mr. ar.d Mrs. Bt. Clair McKelway, with ?
rarty of six, went down the night before, nnd
spent th.? morning atten ling differ? nt classe? in
tho summer schools, t???? morning party reached
the Point at \2:?,o, arai any baggage with which
they were burdened was conveyed to lh?-,r re?
spective destinali..:-.- in -, whe< Iberrow. Thii is
the only eaprees wagon thej havi at roint o*
Woods, and When a I..?at ? ones in the boys of .
the .?.?lory almost 1 av.? a fight over who will pet |
it first
There was jutri tini?? for a visit to the beech 1
before dinner, and the visitar? played with the
find nn?! enjoyed themselves like children. The j
most su'-cessf'il -ar.d houses wer? bullt by Mrs. j
Donai?] McLean's three little daughters?
The O.?,an Hou? extended nn Invitation to din?
ner to the New-York visitors, and several of them j
accepted It. Others were entertained by Miss
Llndley.
At 2 o'clock something that sounded like a bife I
cowbell, cheerful on account of its country asso- j
clatlor.s, w;;s heard, and the whole colony as
and ambitions Is all wrong. I would have the man
ot the I went let h century at once a Bayard sans
lieiir el sans reproche; an Edison in devotion to
progresa, a Peter Cooper in thought for his fellow
men. The spiritila llzation of woman's lnflu.-nce
Will ?lo mor.? than anything else to mak>? man what
h?? ought t.? be. In that thought lies a rule of con?
duct for women ?wives and mothers -Infinitely
valuable to the human nt??.?, and with that thought
I clove the appeal to your sympathie? on behalf of
the man of the twentieth century."
THE PROS AND CONS.
Mrs. Fanny Hallock Carpenter, 1.1,. D., followed
with "The Pros and <*ons of the Nineteenth Cen?
tury Man," Mrs. Carpenter chose the American as
I the typical man of the century, he being an amal
' gation or composite photograph of all Europe.
His ?bief characteristic, she maintained, is to out?
strip every one else, especially aa a money-getter,
lie shows great lack of conservation, not doing
things because his father did. but reaches out Into
new pethS, He believes anything possible, which
sometimes lends to III as well as benefits. Still, this
restless spirit may count many things to its cre?lit,
as the Invention of tho telegriiph ami telephone nnd
other help? to the world.
"The American man is cynical." continu?.! the
speaker, "hurts nobody and believes only ln what
he sees. He is more civilized, better bred, has
mor?? refinement than his ancestors, but the brut?
Inrtlnct has not been eliminated; It only manifest?
lis. If in different method?, as the Ioni; sword is re?
placed by th.? Catling gun?the code of honor by
the penal code.
"Arbitration In men's minis springs more from
policy than from charily; they count the cost."
In conclusion Mrs. ?'arpenter spoke of what the
nineteenth century man had done for women, but
said he had been constrained to do It.
ELIZA ARCHARD CONNOR SPEAKS.
The last speaker was Mrs. Eliza Archard Con?
nor, her subject being "Where Man Is At." She
caused much amusement by ber witty arraignment
of man's shortcomings and her loyal advocacy of |
her own sex. She took as her text the query of
Qrant Allen, "What makes you women so sniffy !
THE AUDITORIUM, CAPACITY 3,500.
eembled In the Auditorium, Juat tilling the centre
Of it comfortably. A large attendance from tho
towns on th*> shore was expected, but this was
prevented by the morning rain.
Professor Kro.-h, chancellor of the summer
school, opened the session by reading an apology
from the clerk of the weather. He gave his own
private opinion about having only one men's day
In a whole summer, and then gracefully Intro?
duced Mr. McKelway. Mr. McKelwajr followed up
Professor Kroeh's banter with some witty re?
marks ln the same tenor, after which he Introduced
Mrs. Westover Alden. who apoke on "The Possi?
bilities of the Twentieth Century Man."
She began her plea for the man of the twentieth
century by saying: 'Men and women must flourish
or decay, grow pure or grow corrupt together.
The mothers of to-day give birth to the lit roes or
to the villain of to-morrow. Neither sex can
shirk Ita full half of responsibility for any
tendency of civilization or of barbarism. Corsets
?re worn to suit men, though men do not wear
them. Raws are mad? to suit women, though
women do not mak?? then?. Ml.bile-age gallantry
shines from the musty pages of our statute books.
When the majority of women want the suffrage
they will have It. Woman can bring no indict?
ment against man that dees not Incriminate her
relf. Man ean bring no Indictment against woman
that does not incriminate himself. Man or woman
must stand or fall together when any age Is Judge!
by the Impartial tribunal of posterity."
Hearing the above facts in mind, she read to them
? supposed chapter from the work of some historian
of tne year 5*?*? A. D.. whi looked backward over
the development of a hundred years. The quotation
in part was as follows:
Civilisation waa struggling with two problems
The first was economic. In production, transporta?

tima tei- that he had better pray for himself.
"?ine of the gr.-atest mistakes of our rapidly

In general must support woman In gin? ral. This
lias enslaved woman and retarded her progress
and development. Every woman ought to work
for h.-r living, and sh?- should lie Independent pe?
cuniarily. When she is she will require a higher

fili in to it and cease to think thai the be-all and

An Informa! discussion followed the aildresses,

THE LEO HORN HAT.
A DIFFERENT ????? FROM WHAT WE
KNOW-AS IT APPEARS IN THE LAND
OF ITS BIRTH.
The leghorn hat in the land of its birth would
hardly know for Its twin the rose-wreathed,
chlfTon-adomed affair whose brim dance? this
summer at every fashionable garden party from
Maine to California. In Italy the leghorn hat is
one of the Important crops from Siena on the
Houth to beyond Florence on the north. ?'hlldren
begin to braid straw as soon ns they kick off the
queer swaddling clothes In which they are wrapped
and strappfd in Infancy. Young girls take rank
as to marriage eligibility according to the number
of fancy weaves th'-y know. Women walk the
streets with their aprons stuffed full of straw, as
If they were about to bed down cattle or ?tart a
Julep factory. The plump, round ball of braid Is
pinned at the left siile of the waist and the clean
white straws twinkle In the busy fingers like knit?
ting kncedles. In every doorway sits a group sew?
ing braids. If you rap at a gate a half-finished
hat hangs from the apron-string of the white
headed crone who opens It.
Fashions change from year to year In the lace
straws and other fancy braids, such as ar?? made,
for example, at Frlesole. where the wealthy
Florentines for centuries have made their summer
homes; but the Leghorn hat endures. The peasant
girls of Mens wear It a.? constantly as the women
of Southern Italy their gay he.iilkerrhlofs. Tilted
well back upon the head and untrlmm*?! or circled
with a bright plaid ribbon. Its broad brim flaps at
every step, and a troop ?if girls stir up mor?? than
th? Ir customary breeze. The brim Is never wlr.-.l,

Miss Lucy Page Osston st a recent meeting of the

In Chicago gave nn interesting talk on the defeat

Who are the ten greatest American women? Quite
? large constituency of wom?n has engaged In the
somewhat lnsMlous work of arranging a list of
them, but It has no power to confirm the precedence
which It bestows. Pocahontas appears with moc?
casin and feather. I.ady Washington. In satin robe
and hair powder; Harriet Beecher Stowe, with a
stout volume under h"r arm. Concerning theso
there will be no question; the rest named may lie
submitted to the Interrogation of time and pos?
terity. A really satisfactory list of the greatest
American women ought to be left open at one end
and not limited by any numerical restriction. There
WOL .d then be room enough for everybody. The
country Is too large and Its great women too abun?
dant to he adequately represented In a picked list
hardly longer than that of the Muses. It should
poss.'ss the elasticity of the garter, instead of the
rigidity of the corset, taking In all the deserving

HOW TO MAKE A PRETTY HAT.
AN ODD WAY TO UTILIZE PIECES OF LINKS'
?RASH AM' HAIRCLOTH.
To the K.l?or of The Tribune.
Sir: As a hat which I have Just made has been
admired and copied by many of my friends, I Judge
It will strike the fancy and meet the requirements
of the reader.? of th>- only Woman's Page, and I
therefor? ?end the following description:
Th.? hat Is made of a certain light and openly
woven linen crash whb-h Is found In the sh.ips this
summer, an.l Is use.! extensively for bicycle suits.
It c,,sts 1"? cents a yard. Tin? Drim is Interlined with
haircloth, arnleh Bttffen? it sufficiently, at in???am?
time allowing It to droop a little BOW an.l tinti In
a way which is becoming. The hat Is suitable for
wear when off on country tramping expeditions or
when riding the bicycle, and Is as light and cool as
posato!?.
Required; On?? yard of linen crash of natural color,
and three-eighths of a yard of good gray haircloth.
For the brim of the hat, cut two clr,-]es of the
crash, twelve Bn?l a half Inches In diameter, ("ut
one circle of haircloth the same sis,?. Raste the
three together carefully. Take the edge of the hair?
cloth and one layer of the crash and turn In a
scant half-Inch, basting it ear.fully all around.
Then turn In the edge of the other layer of crash,
to correspond with the upper, and so baste them all
together, preparatory to stitching on the sewing
machine. Now stitch it as near the edge as you
can on the machine. A half-Inch back of that
stitch again, and so on until you have four rows
of stitching.' That gives llrmness to the brim ind
adds t> Its appearance. Next, indicate th?? centre
of your circle and cut out a round piece three and a
half Inches In dlam.-tt-r. Vou now have a circle
stitched around th?? outside, with a hole in the
mid?lle. Next, take a tap?? measure and mark a ?Ir?
ci?? three Indies inside of the outer edge. You
??an do this bv measuring every few Inches an.l
making a little mark with a pendi; then stitch
around the circle thus marked. ThlB Indicates the
probable extreme size of any desired crown.
About everv inch slash the goods from the edR-e
ot the hob? in toward this lit??? you have mark-.l
anil Btltcbsd BS deep as you require It. to make this
opening for the cr..wn tit your head. Bend up these
?lashings and lea? e them standing, aa they help
support the crown.
Now ?-ut f?ir the ?Town a ?-Ircle of crash fourteen
Inches In diameter. Turn in a seam on tho edge
and baste It. Now pleat the crown to fit the open?
ing you have made for It In the brim, and sew it
on to th?? outside. Just below the slashings. Cut a
bias piece of vour crash one and a half inches wide
and fold In both edges to make a band three-quar?
ters of an Inch wide. Lay this band around the
crown, so as to cover your sewing, tacking It now
and then, and bring the ends together on what will
be the left side of the hat. Cover the ends with a
little stiff, flat bow, made of a piece Just like the
ban?!.
For a lining, cut a bias piece of requlre.l length
three and a half Inches deep. Hem over edge for
the lop and sew It on the other edge around the
crown. This rather brornl lining, together with the
slashings, keeps the crown In a more or less up?
right position, which gives character to the hat.
Rv removing the crown, the hat can he 1 Hindered
perfectly. D. J. ???.

THE UTAH JUBILEE SOW EN IE.
The Utah Seml-Centennlal Commission, composed
of promirent men and women, has Issued a souvenir
Invitation, on the first page of which Is the legend,
"1847?I'tah Pioneers* Jubilee-1897."
An engraving of a huge stone on the title page
bears the lnsortptton, "Pioneers camped here June
3, 1S47, making fifteen miles to-day. All well. Brlg
j ham Young." This was a bulletin of the plains over
half a century ago.
The feature of the pretty souvenir ls a sheet of
heavy cardboard, around the edges of which are
engraved scenes typical of th?? pioneer times. The
continuous picture surrounds a scroll, upon which
Is the invitation announcement:
Sir: In 1847?on July 24? In the providence of Ood
was ended on the shores of the Oreat Salt Lake, the
toilsome Journey of the little band of brave men and
women that broke the tlrst trail from the Missouri
River to America's Dead Sea, That Journey,
through the besetting dangers of desert ami moun?
tain and plain, marked an epoch in Amerleun his?
tory.
In the awful solitudes of the Waaatch these
pioneers dedicated their lives to the redemption of
the wilderness. Undeterred hy destitution and
hardships, they uncomplainingly tolled?and tolling
saw their ?lomaln widen year by year until the arid
valleys changed their dead hues for those of green
nnd gold.
Of such material have heen made the men and
women who have blazed the way? In thl? Republic.
To commemorate the achievement of the pioneers
of 1847, to enable the survivors of them to hold a
reunion upon their last camping ground, to Illus?
trate the progress of a, commonwealth, to proclaim
the prevalence of peace and goodwill in Utah, re?

the auspicious close of the first half-centnrv of
I'tah's unique and interesting career, the grateful
people of "the forty-fifth State" will hold at Salt
Lake, the capital city, a pioneer Jubilee from July
20 to 2.? of the present year. Will you not honor us
with your presence on that occasion?

SHE WALKS IX HER BLEEP.
Mrs. Henry Wallace, who live, near Appalachln,
a small town In (Jeorghi. Is a son nambullst. For
some time ?he had missed article? of Jewelry, and,
a? they were of great value, ?he wa* much dis?

wu? revealed to her that she would find a burled

three times, and on the day after the third dream
?he look ? serrani with her, went to th? place Indi?

The following re-clpe for currant Jelly Is sent %J
Mrs. J. E. Crosby, a valued T. 8. 8. member:
"Place currants In a Jar on stove until thoroughly
heated; then crush with a potato-masher and strato
through flannel. Do not squeeze too har?l, or the
Jelly will be cloudy. Measure and allow a generous
pound of granulated sugar for every pint of Juice.
Put th?? Juice over the lire in a porcelaln-llned
kettle, and let it boll twenty minutes. Have the
sugar measured and heated on back of stove; pour
the boiling Juice on the sugar, and stir rapidly
until dissolved. Have tumblers standing in hot
water to avoid breakage. Then pour the Jelly In
your tumblers, and you will find the color and
clearness of the Jelly far superior to that when
jugar Is boiled with It. I have made it this way
for twenty-four years, and never fall???!."
Mrs. L. Lee H? protests, and has this to say In
regard to servants:
"The Idea of any householder arranging her sum?
mer to suit the pleasure of her maids I? rather
peculiar. As a general rule, the servants ere
crowded Into a little back room with odds and
ends of furniture, no matter If there be several
vacant spare rooms. As for amusements, why
shoulo a woman bo supposed to go without amuse?
ments simply because she ig a menial? In a coun?
try house there is generally provided amusements
for young and old. No provision In that line Is
made for the servants, and they have to take what
Is within their reach, for they must have som?
recreation. I should ?hlnk the maid would hav?
more freedom In the country, for In a city house
her days an?! hours are lai.) ?ut for her from 8
o ?lock In the morning until 8 o'?-|.?ok at night and
If she is allow?! any company sh?? must entertain
her callers In a warm room In which she haa been
working all day.
"She Is disposed to dismiss her friends at 10
o clock, while the women of the house entertain
theirs until 12 or 1 o'clock, and tt Is thought per?
fectly pro|>er.
"If there Is any economizing to be done R gen
??lally falls upon the servants, as the style of tho
house must be kept up at alt hasards 1 am not
writing this from hearsay, but from practical ex?
perience, if employers would treat their servants
as If they were human beings, with souis to be
saved, they would be better served and would heve
a better grade of servant?."
Mildew can be removed by rubbing with soap and
chalk powder.
Wlno stains In linen can he removed by holding
In boiling ml'k. Treat fmlt stains by rubbing On
both sides with yellow soap, then tie a pie,?? of
pearlash In the stained part of the linen and bol'.

marks will gradually disappear.
Alcohol Is said to he excellent for removing gras ?
slalns from linen nnd lawn. Iron rust will yled by
being dipped In a hot ?oh'tlon of oxalic acid, fol?
lowed by a thorough rinsing In ammonia water.
To remove some fruit stains, ho'.d the stained por?

THE CHILDREN'S CORNER.
A brown-faced, chubby "little mother" of ten
was slowly wheeling an unusually fat. big baby
along a shady Hrooklyn street. The baby crowe I
and squealed and looked supremely happy; the
"little other" had a straight, deep line of discon?
tent between her brows, an?! she did not respond
to any of Rolypoly's playful advances.
"What Is the matter?" i asked of the scowling
little nurse; "are you 8888*1**
"No'm; alt?' nothln' the matter with me-_it's tha
baby."
"Why, he looks as round and fat as a kitten.
What can be the matter with him?"
"He's Jus' so big and fat!" walled the lint?
mother. "He ain't thin and Utile lik?? Minna's
baby, what vou kin roi: lus' un easy. And he gits
fatter and wors-r ev'ry ?fay I'm so tired o' roiiln*
him I done stopped toVta' him. There! Jus' loog
at him! He stands up In th?? carriage that way
som*,tlm??s. and when I have to ketch him I 'mont
fail over! If he was only a thin, little hit?.)? baby
like Minna's, I wouldn't min?! rollin' hlm-but I
jus' hate* a big. old fat baby like Jake!" And two
Dig tears began to run down the brown cheek?,
and with a vicious little shake she made Rolvpoly
open his round eyes and squeal again with delight,
under the Impression that she wa? going to play
with him.
The poor, tired, disgusted "little mother" shoved
the heavy baby down on the carriage seat and
rolled slowly away, sobbing softly.
