hat the women intend to take a hand
he coming school election is evident.
>y are bestirring to call
candidates in the several wards, and
enthusiasm displayed in tho inform
primaries is suggestive of a presi
tial year. This is just as it should
It ill becomes anybody to question
right of women to participate in the
lagement of the public schools. It
aecomes anybody to ridicule their at
ipts to organize to assist one another
ixercising the limited franchise con
ed on them at school elections,

) the women should be encouraged in
ir efforts to secure and retain a voice
the selection of school trustees. If
board of education were dominated
competent women, it is fair to pre
le that the schools would be managed
te as well, if not better, than they are
present. If the women seek larger
itical rights than they now enjoy,
t, too, is commendable. It should
be a text for covert sneers and biting
oasm.
lany women have no desire for the
froge; many men have no desire that
y shall have it. Thawotnon that do
ire it are our wives, mothers and
.ethearts, and they aro demanding
i right to vote, not because they are
: loved ones, but because they have
bins. They have been petted and
npered and enslaved since the dawn
creation. Now they want the privi
e of thinking and voting for them

fcir weal.

I Hiss WUlard stud Lady Somerset.
•The uncrowned queen of American
bpocracy," Miss Frances WUlard, and
b much admired English woman, Lady
try Somerset, have attained the height
friendship where they can be justly
nod the Damon and Pythias of mod
women. A photograph of them has
; been Bent out in which they appear
iding side by side, with their arms
and each other's waist,
(iss WUlard and Lady Somerset are
% past the gentle schoolgirl period,
friendship between women of their
turity must be adamant to stand the
.of the camera in such an affection
position. It is too rare to escape at
tion. Feminine friendship has been
ed at as frailest of the frail, made
y to break at tbe first excuse,
'he latest cable dispatches report these
) friends as resting together among
mountains of Switzerland. From
first moment when Miss Willard and
ly Somerset met, about 18 months
i. they have been bound by more than
mary ties. They wero prepared to
-cc with each other, but since the
tth of Miss Willard's mother they
re hardly been separated,
n this country they have worked and
iveled together. Then Miss Willard
is the guest of Lady Somerset in her
iglish home. The English and Ameri
a temperance leaders worked in Eng
ld together, and reached America in
ison for tbe W. C. T. U. convention in
ston. Next Chicago acquired the great
ir, and following their exertions at the
r they took refuge on tho continent,
is understood that as the next move
dy Somerset will return to visit Miss
illard here. —New York World.
Bread and Butter.
A new adjunct to the breakfast table
tho butter "spreader." It is a knife
ar 6 inches long, with a blade varying
sizo from a half to three-quarters of
i inch. One side of the end of the blade
rounded. The other side rises in a
) hit divided into two teeth. You break
>art your lump of butter with the
et h and the blade spreads it on the
•cad. The new notion is to serve but
r in tiny balls or curls or cubes, patted
the home pantry and kept solid in a
>ol place until serving. For helping
lero is a spear or lance of silver or
ild, the point of which is thrust through
io butter ball and so transferred to the
road and butter plate.
To accommodate the fashion in serv
ig, new styles of butter bowls are seen,
'hoy are round and flat, with sides of
pen work silver 3 inches high. Tho
Jver shape is filled with white or color
d glass or china. Their usefulness is
sown in warm weather, when the glass
i half filled with ice water or cracked
:e, and the butter balls float about solid
nd firm during the meal or until they
io eaten.
A new silver piece is the "bread fork,"
, trident with a short cylindrical handle
if bright repousse work and prongs of
he same, 8 inches long, terminating in
>oints. The idea and design are imported
rom the English table, where the fork is
if practical use. The Britisher has his
:old loaf on the table and slices it as one
vishes it. Whoever assumes the duty
masses not the breadboard for you to
lelp yourself, but the slioe on the tip of
he bread knife. The fork is in helping
to replace tho knife.—Detroit Free Press.
Utilising Autumnal Beauty.
Forest, field and woodland yield forth
their, glorious harvest of autumnal treas
ures — bittersweet, clematis, fantastic
(horns and twigs, vinos and bright fo
liage, that still linger as delicious mem
oriae of the gay bloom and sapphire skies
if the sunny queen. The wayside is
ttudded with gleaming gold, dark eyed
yellow daisies and that feathery rod, the
favorite of ute nation. Harvest these
beautiful offerings, and wfth them deck
the home, brightening the cheerless sea
son of tee and snow, when all without is
iosolats and barren.

off the leavfeß and dry. With seasoning,
the stems grow hard and woody, and

Women Learning Polities.
There are indications that an entirely
new branch of education will soon be es
tablished in New Haven. It will be
nothing less than a school for the in
struction of women in the peculiar and
complicated profession of politics.
At tho coming fall election the women
will be given thoir first opportunity to
vote, and although they will be restrict
ed to balloting for members of the board
of education they are none the less in
terested in their new privilege.
The women are determined to be rep
resented on the board of education.
There are nine members on the board,
and the women want two of the places
for themselves. It is probable that each
party will try to secure tho female vote
by placing a woman on its ticket. As
there is a minority representation pro
vided for, this would practically insure
the election of two women.
The new voterß will demand the priv
ilege of naming their own candidates,
but they have not yet proceeded so far
as to pick them ont. They feel that they
are not sufficiently vorsed in political
methods to take tbat action just now,
and are waiting until they shall have se
cured an initiation into the ways of the
politicians. It is expected that several
thousand women will register with tho
town clerk and will deposit their ballots
in the special boxes which will be pro
vided for thorn. —Cor. New York Press.
She Has Hade the World Kicher.
Miss Mary Grew of Philadelphia
passed her eightieth birthday Sept. 1.
She received loving tributes from many
appreciative friends. Miss Grew's long
and noble life haa been spent in aiding
ull good things. She was one of the dele
gates to tho world's antislavery conven
tion in London in 1840, with Lucretia
Mott and Sarah Pugh. The women dele
gates from America were refused seats
in the convention on account of their
sex. Mr. Garrison declined to take his
seat if the women were notadmitted, and
he sat with tbem in the gallery.
Miss Grew was a coworker with Mr.
Garrison and Mr. Phillips all through
the' antislavery struggle. She then en
tered heart and soul into the battle for
the equal rights of women. Her high
and spotless character commanded es
teem, as her warmth of heart attracted
love. She was for many years the princi
pal pillar of the suffrage movement in
Pennsylvania, and sho is now honorary
president of tbo Philadelphia W. S. A.,
one of the largest and strongest suffrage
associations in the country.
Miss Grew is one of the women whose
lives have made tbe world richer, and a
multitude of friends will heartily wish
her "Many happy returns."—Exchange.
London Women Advised to Rebel.
Why do not onr ladies rebel en masse
and porsist in promenading during the
acts and taking their coSee or tea, claret
or champagne cnp in the foyers and re
freshment buffets with their gentlemen
friends, brothers and husbands? " The
only alteration I would have in our the
aters is that a handsome foyer as well as
refreshment rooms should be added to
every house. I don't see why ladies
should bo obliged in several theaters to
keep their seats during the whole of a
play when there is ample time given be
tween the acta to promenade or take
some refreshment if they wish to do so.
I often pity a lady in the stalls on a
sultry evening, looking flushed and hot,
and evidently yearning for a glass of
claret cup, a lemon squash, or an ice,
and yet were she to have such refresh
ment brought to her society would be
shocked. In these days it is not consid
ered ladylike and smart to eat an ice or
drink a cup of coffee or a glass of wine
in a box; although, if you get far back
and well behind the curtains, dear ladies,
no one can see you should you desire
any one of these refreshments.—Sala's
Journal.
Amusing- Figures at the German.
Among some of the figures dancod at
a cotillon at one of the smart houses in
London recently were the following:
Fencing foils, in which two gentlemen
fenced with foib tipped with powder
puffs, the one who first left his white
mark on his adversary claiming the priv
ilege of the dance with the lady. Air
ball figure, two balls thrown in the air,
and the competitor who first secured one
had tho choice of a partner.
The wheelbarrow was another success
ful and amusing figure. Two barrows
filled with light trifles were rapidly
wheeled from one end of the ballroom to
the other, the man who was able to
reach the goal first without upsetting
the contents securing the dance.
Tho giant muff was a welcome novel
ty, the ladies and gentlemen thrusting
their hands into it, and when it opened
the interlocked hands decided the ques
tion of partners for their owners.
Still another was the melinite bomb,
which, bursting, showered bits of paper.
To Hake a Test Case.
The women of Deerfield who were de
nied registration and so lost their right
to vote for school committee last spring
have moved with deliberation in calling
the offending officials to account —but
they have moved. Edward C. Cowlee,
Alden Griggs and Henry Waite, a ma
jority of the board, realized the fact
when warrants were served upon them
by Officer Smead. They 'have been set
tling into the comfortable belief that
the women were either forgetful, for
giving or timid, neither of which is true,
as the result is certain to show.
The suit is brought by Mary A. Fisher,
one of the women deprived of what she
considers was Iter legal right to vote,
and it ie understood that she is the-rep
resentative of others, the sum of $100
having been raised by them to carry
through tho test stilt. Mrs. Fisher
names $600 as the damage done by each

LOS ANGELES ITERALD: SUNDAY MORNING; OCTOBER 8, 1893.
At the End of the Rainbow.
The fashionable woman's fashionablo
gown has not been a thing of beauty dur
ing the past season, and from every in
dication of fall and winter styles it will
not soon bo much lovelier. It will doubt
less be more elaborate, more lavishly
trimmed and bnilt out in more astonish
ing fashion across the shoulders. Hugo
sleeves and stiff bretclles still reign,
while skirts are adorned from waist to
hem with ruffles, velvet, ribbon, rorottes
and every sort of trimming that feminino
fancy can devise. During the reign of
tailor made, untrimmed gowns of a year
or two ago it was prophesied that an out
break of frippery and fol-de-rols loomed
up on a not far distant horizon, andnow
wo aro surely at the ond of the rainbow.
—Springfield (Mass.) Homestead.
A "Lady Cowboy."
In Pratt county, S. D., lives Gertrude
Petan, who is known among tho resi
dents of that neighborhood as the "la
dy cowboy." Her father owns a ranch
and a large number of cattlo, and much
of the care of these devolves upon his 10
--year-old daughter. Dressed in the fash
ion prevalent among cowboys and wear
ing a wide brimmed sombrero and long
gauntlet gloves, she rides all day about
the ranch mounted on the wildest bron
cho, taking care of the cattle as well as
any man could do, even rescuing them
when they aro mired along the streams
where they graze. Her duties frequent
ly tako her 80 or 40 miles from home,
and she has full charge of all tbe cattle
on her father's ranch. —Harper's Bazar.
Table Decorations.
The considerato table furnisher has
recently designed some decorations for
those occasions when a simple dish of
flowers seems inadequate. They are ar
ranged to combine candelabra and flow
ers in the way usually described as fairy
like. Tho arches for tfhe ends of the
table have shades set around them in
which either fairy lamps or electric
light globes may bo fastened and vases
for holding flowers. The center piece
has its bowl similarly arranged and
smaller arches. When vines and feath
ery plants like maidenhair and aspara
gus fern are used plentifully, the effect
of the glowing lamps shining out of tho
mass of green is remarkably good.—Ex
change.
"Literary Women's Attire.
Lady Wilde (Oscar's mother) has been
writing a book of "Social Studies," and
among other things she gives the follow
ing description of what she considers a
model dress for literary women: "Tho
literary dress should, in fact, be free, un
trammeled and unswathed; as simple and
as easily adjusted aa Greek drapery, and
fastened only with a girdle or a brooch.
No stiff corselet should depress the full
impulses of a passionate heart. There
should be no false coils upon the head to
weigh upon the brain, no fuzzy furze
brush on tho brow to heat the temples
and mar the cool logic."
'Women Cashiers.
The new and magnificent Holland
hotel on Fifth avenue, New York city,
decided to employ a woman cashier.
She worked so well that it lately secured
another. The young ladies require
seven different books for taking all their
orders, and they must keep track of
these and not get tangled up. Thoy also
have occasion to cash largo checks at
times and must know when these are
genuine and when bogus. There is much
responsibility attached to the place.
The West hotel, Minneapolis, has a
woman cashier too. —Boston Women's
World.
Women Candidates In Kentucky.
A number of Kentucky women are
running for office this year and are said
even by their opponents to be good
speakers, making an active canvass and
hustling for votes. Miss Lucy Town
send, a Democrat, is running against
Miss Dora Gibcou, Republican, for sup
erintendent of public schools iv one
county. Miss Kate Edgar is carrying
the Democratic standard for the same
office in another county, and Miss Laura
Cravens has announced her candidacy in
a third.—Exchange.
Sextons are proverbially long lived
men. Not many of them, however, can
surpass the record of Mrs. Sarah Kitch
en, who recently departed this life at tho
age of 08, she having been for 74 years
the faithful sextoness of a Leicestershire
church.
Rose Hardwick Thorpe, the author of
"Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight," is
now living in California, but her early
homo was in Litchfield, Mich. The poem
was written one afternoon in school,
when the writer was only 15 years old.
Miss Elizabeth Tagg baa "proved up"
on a pre-emption entry for 160 acres of
land in Columbia county. Or., and pro
poses to settle on her claim and make a
good farm out of it. She is young and
has lived for several years in Astoria.
A young woman of Drifton, Pa., not
only mends her own shoes, but those of
the members of her family. It is said
that she is proud of her ability as a shoe
maker.
A divorce was secured by a two
months' bride in Superior, Wis., because
her spouse refused to scratch her back.
Queer Directions About a Funeral.
John Underwood of Whittlesea, Cam
bridgeshire, who died in 1778, gave di
rections for a curious funeral. None
of his relations was to follow his corpse,
which was to be conveyed to the grave
by six gentlemen, who were specially
desired not to come in black clothes, and
during the ceremony were instructed to
sing the last stanza of the second book
of Horace. The coffin was green, and
the deceased was placed in it with all
his clothes on. Under his head was
placed a copy of Horace, under his feet
Bentley's Milton, on bis right hand a
small Greek Testament and on his left a
miniature Horace, while Bentley's Hor
ace was put under bis back.
A odd sapper at his bouse followed
the ceremony, and after the cloth wae
taken away the guests repeated the
thirty-first ode of the first book ef Hor
ace. Each was to receive 10 guineas
out of tbe sum of ££,000 left to the
teatstor's sister oh cpni'ktion.of carrying
