WOMAN'S WORLD. ORESS REFORM WILL BE SEEN AT THE COLUMBIAN FAIR. Gyiuiuutlc. in Women'. College.—Why Girl. Go to College—Children Always Dressed Up—l.ate Mistress of tho White House—The Homeiuaker. That the question of dress reform has by no means been shelved is apparent in the numerous articles that continue to be printed on the subject. In a Boston periodical a symposium on women's dress is running monthly; in another magazine, a paper on the "Gospel of Dress" is in the same vein, and there are besides constantly recurring para graphs in many other prints to be met with, not to include the several publica tions whose sole aim is to advance the cause of this or that hygienic or reform dress. A reading of them all does not point to any very near solution of the problem. Mrs. Jenness Miller seems to have made the best showing, but even her at tractive gowns have failed to become widely adopted. Even union suits have been tried and given up by almost as many women as have retained them, and corsets are sold about as freely to day as ever, though they are worn looser. About the only atrocities that seem to have been perceptibly eliminated are wasp waists and high heeled shoes. Yet every woman who walks out on a windy or rainy day, with her skirts winding about lier and the strain of caring for her gown a ceaseless tax, wishes fer vently that something could bo evolved to make heramore comfortable. Several times she has been hopeful; the Mother Hubbard gown offered possibilities, but it was imposed upon and became de servedly distasteful. The later blazer and reefer suits have afforded a consid erable degree of relief for shopping and traveling, but as fashion introduced them she is likely to suddenly frown upon them, and what then? Dress re form so far seems to have only come in spots, and evidently has not yet come to stay. In this regard the action of a com pany of women in a neighboring town should be widely copied. They pledge themselves to go to the fair next year, if at all, in a single serviceable gown of excellent material and good finish, but made easy and comfortable and un hampered by undue length of skirt. A satchel which may be carried in the hand must hold all other necessities, and thus untrammeled the club hopes to be in a condition to endure a maximum of sightseeing at a minimum of strength and nerve force. When you think of it the spectacle of a woman with ribs and thorax crushed by tight clothes, movements clogged by enveloping skirts and head bound and weighted with a snug and ponderous hat, strolling through the building devoted to tho display of the noble progress of her sex in arts and sciences, will be a sort of humiliating paradox, won't it?— Her Point of View in New York Times. Gymnast!?. In Women', College.. Of the modern American college girl in Turkish trousers who crosseß swords with a fencing master, vaults bars, climbs ropes, plays ball, rows, swims and decks her boudoir with the trophies of gymnasium tournaments a writer says: Calisthenics and gymnastics in a de sultory way have always been exercised in girls' schools, but physical training as now understood was unknown to all American educational institutions until the past three years. Vassar in its ear liest days had a riding school and two foreign masters of horsemanship. To its alumni association Vassar is indebted for its present gymnasium. Welleslsy needs a separate gymnasium building, but one of its spacious balls is replete with the paraphernalia demanded by the Sargent system. The Smith institution has a commodious structure. Before equipping it President Beelye visited the gymnasia of Europe. The gymnasium at Bryn Mawr is a beautiful structure, while outside Harvard college perhaps no gymasium surpasses that at the Women's college in Baltimore. It is equipped with Zander machines at a cost of SB,OOO. The Swedish system is followed, and Dr. Mury Hall, the most expert woman expounder of Ling, is the instructor, assisted by two Swedish women, graduates of the royal schools of Stockholm. The students of Harvard annex avail themselves of Dr. Sargent's gymnasium at Cambridge. Most of these gymnasia have race tracks and swimming tanks. The efficacy of the German, Swedish ancf American (Dr. Sargent's) methods is now the bone of contention among physical trainers. The colleges are divided in their allegiance. Dr. Sar gent's system, varied by the Swedish, prevails at Vassar, Wellesley, Smith, J3ryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke, while the Baltimore college advocates Swed ish. The development of the heart and lungs by free movements of the body is the basis of the Swedish system, while muscular strength, developed by ma chine exercise, is the pivot of Dr. Sar gent'B method. The German system pays less attention to hygiene than the American or Swedish does, and the lat ter are more educational in their tend ency. Why Do Girls Go to Collegef Not a few articles have been written to answer the question why a girl goes to college, but so far no one has had the happy combination of knowledge and audacity to give the reply which would be the true one in many caseB —for the sake of having a good time. It is uni versally acknowledged that hundreds of young men go for that reason; why not, then, a corresponding proportion of young ladies, especially since by them the term "good time" is very likely to be used literally, meaning a good time for themselves and for others? More than half the girl students are preparing for teaching, or Aive some other clearly defined end in view; but this leaves a number, absolutely if not relatively great, who have no idea of taking up any form of professional work, who study for the mere pleasure of it, taken together with the accessory advantages. The first class as well as the second, however, can have "a good time" so cially, and if it be true that the busiest people are the happiest, and the happiest the busiest, then surely the college girl of today has her full share of occupation and of pleasure. But she has, on the whole, no more occupation than she can well manage and no more pleasure than she deserves. Bryn Mawr is the leader of the new movement in favor of more independence for the students—one which has been wonderfully successful so far, and one which we must hope will prosper even more in the future than it lias done in the past. The large majority of college girls are trustworthy, and the tendency of the times is to recognize the fact.—Harper's Bazar. Children Who Are Always Dressed Up. There is a little girl near by—a deli cate, nervous creature, small and pale, who has had to steal her fresh air by driving with her mamma in a stylish turnout or simply sitting on the veranda —always with her pretty white dresses, with puffed sleeves and unruffled hair— but, oh, what a pity!—losing all that close contact with mother earth which her system needs. But why look at my neighbor's chil dren for illustration when I have erred myself? For during the first of the sum mer I put my own darling boy of seven teen months under pretty much the same discipline. I had a large square of car peting put on the veranda and a soap box filled with sand, and after his long noon nap and dinner of oatmeal porridgo I would put on a clean white dress and expect him to keep it presentable. For awhile the plan worked well; but, alas, his bigger brother of five years had the liberty of the whole yard, the gravel in the driveway—yellow gravel, I grieve to say it is—the nooks and corners every- j where where plenty of shovelfuls of earth could be found, and was the little one to be deprived of his liberty? He gained freedom several times by lying flat on his stomach at the head of the steps, then backing and sliding down, thoroughly cleaning them as he went, but shaking a 4 'goodby" to me with his hands as ho glided on. So I gave in to him, and until 5 o'clock he was allowed to play in full sight of passersby in a dark check gingham dress, made short, with no white skirts to soil underneath. —Mothers' Nursery Guide. The Lute Mistress of the White House. The death of the president's wife has called forth from all parts of the country expressions of sympathy sincere and touching. The character of Mrs. Harri son indeed was such as to command re spect outside of any consideration of the position which she held as mistress of the White House. The phrase which came to the lips and the pens of thou sands all over the land when her death was announced was that she represented the best type of American womanhood. This has been said and written so many times that its repetition may seem trite, but as applied to Mrs. Harrison it ex presses better than any other form of words the character in which she was known to the American people. She was a true helpmate to her husband intellectually—for she was a cultivated woman—morally and in tho material af fairs of life. She did her part nobly in his early struggles to establish himself iu his profession, and she graced with dignity the highest place in the land.— Boston Commonwealth. A Woman for Poet Laureate. Why not a woman laureate to a wom an sovereign? There is a world of fit ness in tho combination of ideas. Still it is not probable that the laureate's crown will ever grace the brow of a woman. When Wordsworth died a suggestion arose that the supreme honor conferred by the state upon its sweetest singer should be bestowtd on Mrs. Browning, then in the meridian of her powers. The innovation was then not deemed admissible, though Mrs. Brown ing's genius was appreciated and hon ored, and among her successors none has received the gift of song with the sweetness and breadth that character ized her power. Frances Willard suggests Jean Inge low as worthy the honor, and adds, with the crisp terseness characteristic of her remarks, "Before anybody lifts the chin in ridicule let the eyes bo lowered Over an edition of Jean Ingelow's poet ical works for half a day."—New York Sun. The Women of Jupan. Women—that is, young women—are deteriorating in Japan. They are being westernized. It is asserted that, on the plea of tediousness and artificiality, the usages of female life and deportment have one another been dispensed with, and the modern girl, in her at tempts to imitate foreign manners, has almost transformed herself into a man. The abuse referred to has reached its climax in the case of the girls who have been trained in the Tokio female schools. Practices hitherto unknown in Japan have become fashionable among them. To note a few—there are girls of good families living alone in lodging houseß; others walk unattended in the streets after dark, and groups of five or six school pupils are to be seen drinking sake or playing cards together at tea houses. The native journal asks what kind of mothers such girls are likely to make. —Tokio Letter. Gltugow's Woman College. Queen Margaret college, which began its existence in 1877 as an association for the higher education of women, and later was incorporated as a woman's college, has become a part of the Uni versity of Glasgow. The council of the college has handed over to the university the government, the endowments and the buildings of the college on condition that the buildings, etc., are to be re served for the exclusive education of women, and the college to become in corporated with the university as a wom an's department of the same. This offer the university has accepted, under the provisions of the act of the universities' commissioners empower ing the courts of the several universities of Scotland to admit women to gradua tion, and to provide for their education either in mixed classes of men and wom en or in separate classes.—Glasgow Let ter. A Woman's Bicycle Club. The efforts of a number of prominent lady riders to organize a club in this city will likely meet with success. There are at present over 500 women in New York who ride bicycles, and the want of a clubhouse has been sadly felt during the past year. Mrs. M. L. Peck, who had charge of the ladies' division in the recent wheelmen's parade, has been chosen president of the new club, and she is confident of making a success of the new venture. Mrs. Peck proposes to secure quarters convenient to Central park. It is in tended that weekly runs to surrounding points shall be held each week, if the weather permits, and during the winter mouths to hold several entertainments. Men will be admitted to membership in the club.—New York Letter. Some Women Florist*. Women are achieving considerable success in their new business as florists, and several of them, including Miss Eadie, of Cleveland; Mrs. Berger, of San Francisco, and Mrs. Nichols, of Texas, are well known as successful decorators. Notable among them is Mrs. Wilson, of Cleveland, who com menced business in a small way and after a course of practical lessons with a florist about two years ago. Now her greenhouses cover an area of 10,000 feet, and she is recognized as the leading floral artist of the city. Most of her work is done by girls, among whom she organized clubs and societies, placing her own reception rooms at their serv ice. Green at a Wedding; Ceremony. An unusual Wedding tint was that seen at a recent ceremony. The brides maids, six in number, were dressed in crepon gowns of pale green, draped with sashes of soft silk of a darker shade. Fichus of white silk muslin were worn, and the big picture hats were green, with trimmings of dark green velvet and light green feathers. Bouquets of mignonette, the bride's favorite flow er, harmonized with rather than relieved these odd but effective toilets.—Her Point of View in Now York Times. The Work of Wealthy Women. The wealthy women of the United States have given some notable gifts to the needy during the past decade. The Maternity hospital, the largest of its kind in the world, is the gift of Mrs. W. H. Vanderbilt, and represents in its building and endowment the sum of $1,000,000. Mrs. \V. B. Astor founded and endowed the Cancer hospital, and now the Seton Home for Consumptives, which is the largest of its kind in Europe or America, is rnpidly approaching com pletion.—New York Letter. Washing; Summer Woolens. Outing flannels and all summer wool ens should be washed in warm suds, with a little ammonia, and wash by squeezing through the hands, but do not rub on the washboard. Rinse in warm water and hang up, without wringing, until nearly dry. Then take them down, stretch them and iron on the wrong Bide with an iron that is not very hot. Never put a very hot iron on woolen goods of any kind, never rub soap on them and never wring them.— Buffalo News. Mistresses of the White House. Only four women who presided over the White House during former ad ministrations are now living. They are Mrs. Graut, Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Hurriet Lane John ston, who was the mistress of the White House when her uncle, James Buchanan, was president. She Kept Sheep. One of the best kuown women farmers in Great Britain, Miss Hope Johnstone, of Marchbankwood, Dumfriesshire, Scot land, died the other day. She had a large sheep farm in Eskdale, which she superintended herself, and she was an excellent authority on agricultural mat ters. Sarah Bernhardt is writing a play. This is her first attempt at writing for the stage, but she has already published two books—the "Voyage d'une Chaise" and the noted "Marie Pigeounier," a re ply to Marie Colombier's attack upon her in the vulgar "Sarah Barnum." Some novelties in stationery are in a riot of color. Terra cotta and turquoise blue are shown, and pink embossed with wild roses. A coffee colored sheet is lined with violet, and a deep crushed strawberry opens to show pale old rose. Two American gil ls who are studying art to good advantage in Rome, whose work will be seen at the exposition, are Luella Varney and Adelaide Johnson. According to Julian Ralph, the young business woman of energy and ability ! finds bettor openings for talent in the i west than elsewhere. To be absolutely correct, a mother should ask a man to call. In this coun try it is not the custom for men to ask permission to call. Common sense, tact, bright conversa tional powers, a good heart, and behold! the very creature every man wants for his wife. Among the students of the lowa state university is Mrs. Stark Evans, the wife of a lawyer and the mother of five chil dren. Bret Harte's young daughter, Jessamy, is taking after her father in the literary cal£pg. Antique, but Not Desirable* When traveling in Mesopotamia Mine. Dieulafoy had an amusing ad venture on one of the Tigris river boats. The forward part of the boat was crowded with pilgrims. In picking her way through their luggage she noticed a beautiful rug. It was old, hilt the tints were exquisite and the design was beautiful. She waited until the proprietor of it had finished his prayers, and then asked him its price. His honesty, she con cluded, was not what might have been i expected from his apparent piety. She declined to pay the exorbitant price which he asked. Presently there was a knock at her stateroom door, and a pil grim appeared with a package carefully wrapped up under his arm. "I have a bargain to offer you," he said impressively, and ho unrolled his bundle. "Do you expect me to buy those?" asked Mine. Dieulafoy. "Why not, madame? Did you not just now wish to buy of my friend Tagliui his prayer rug? That is faded and old, to be sure. But then these are more ancient, much more ancient, I assure you," replied the pilgrim. He was much disappointed when the lady said that she did not care for his merchandise, although it was undeni ably old, and in that country rare. It was a badly worn pair of European shoes.—Youth's Companion. Getting Ready for Christmas. A dear little woman who generally manages to get everything she wants imparted to us a scheme that she had started with a view to Christmas gifts, and as it is something novel we will tell it as just a piece of purely feminine gossip. "You know," she said, "one always gets a lot of things one doesn't want. Not but that they are very lovely and all that, but then they are not the gifts one would choose if per mitted to buy them one's self. People are anxious to give you what you want, but they don't know unless you tell them. Now I have a list made out on a little decorated slate which I have placed on nr* library table, and every one who is anxious to give mo a present can look it over and see what I really would appreciate. If I get duplicates I won't mind, for every single item is something I can't have too many of. It's cheeky, I know, but I am awfully tired of dozens of sachets and other silly trifles that cost exactly as much as something I really want, and I am in hopes in this way to remedy matters PO that general satisfaction will reign all round."—Philadelphia Times. Scissors as Hair Ornumonts. Some progressive individual, with a taste for the odd, has brought forth that homely article, tho scissors, from its limited sphere of household usefulness and suggested it as an aristocratic adorn ment. Fashion, represented of course in the person of many acute jewelers, adopt ed the idea, and thereupon began to af fect gold and silver scissors. But as jewelers have a born aversion (accord ing to appearances) for a bit of gold, no matter what the shape is, without its dopths being pierced by some gem, tho plain gold scissors ornament was not suf fered to retain its plainness long. In the sides of each handle have been intro duced such pleasing and costly stones as diamonds, rubies, moonstones and opals. The blade is unlike that of the com mon pair of scissors. It is simply made after the straight sword model and is sharp pointed and straight. Tho aspect of the whole is dazzling—so much so, in fact, as to move the prudish creature to say, "Dear me, what an awfully dear hairpin she does use!" But this selfsame "she" is thereby rolling high on the un certain waves of fashion.—Jewelers'Re view. Bicycling for Girls. Dr. Richardson in Young Woman speaks highly of cycling for girls, and adds: "I have no hesitation in saying that the young woman who is about to learn the art of cycling will do best by choosing the bicycle from the first. Women sit more gracefully on the bi cycle than on the tricycle; they work at less labor, and, all things considered, they work at less risk." He remarks that women are hampered by their dress in this exercise, but he does not make so 6trong a point of this as he might fairly do. The ordinary female skirt is quite uusuited for bi cycling, though it may pass on the tri cycle. If a costume like that in which Herr Stempel has induced many ladies of so cial position, pupils of his gymnasium, to give public displays were introduced by the women members of some good cycling clnb for wear in that exercise, it would he perceived to be so superior in point of modesty as well as of grace and safety, and to attract so little notice aft er being onco seen, that it would he quickly adopted generally. All Aspiring and Persevering Woman. The women students at Oxford have since 1884 obtained several first class honors in modern history. This year, for the first time, a woman has achieved the distinction of a first class in the final classical school, and at tho same time j a Parsee student, Miss Sorabji's, has ac complished the more remarkable feat of taking a third class in the for the B. C. L., the most difficult law examination of the university. Of twen ty-five men with whom this woman stu dent had to compete, two failed alto gether, two obtained seconds and not one a first.—London Letter. .Happy French Children. Of all the children on the face of the earth the French children have the greatest right to be thankful, if there is any virtue in old proverbs, or if proverbs are ever followed. There is an old French adage which says childhood should be made the holiday of life. And it enjoins parents, under penalty of mis fortune, to make it such. "No cares, no fears, no tumult, uo strife—all merri ment," is the French rule for childhood. —New York Recorder. GEMS IN VERSE. Bo Not Content. Bo not content; contentment means inaction; The growing soul aches on its upward quest; Satiety is twin to satisfaction; All great achievements spring from life's unrest. The tiny roots, deep in the dark mold hiding, Would never bless the earth with leaf and flower Were it not an inborn restlessness abiding In seed and germ to stir them with its power. Were man contented with his lot forever, He had not sought strange seas with sails unfurled. And the vast wonder of our shores had never Dawned on the gaze of an admiring world. Prize what is yours, but be not quite contented; There is a healthful restlessness of soul. By which a mighty puri>ose is augmented, In urging men to reach a higher goal. So when the restless impulse rises, driving Your calm content before it, do not grieve; It is the upward reaching and the striving Of the God in you to achieve, achieve. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "My lluthers." I tell you what I'd rather do— Ef I only had my ruthers— I'd ruther work when I wanted to Than bo bossed round by others. I'd want to kind o' git the swing O' what was needed flrst, by Jingl Afore I sweat at anything! Ef I only had my ruthers. In fact, I'd aim to be the same With all men as my brothers. And they'd be all the same with me, Ef I only had my ruthers. The poor 'ud git their dues sometimes— Ef I only had my ruthers— And bo paid dollars 'stid o' dimes, Fer children, wives and mothers; Their boy 'at stokes; their girl 'at sews— Fer others, not herself, God knows! The grave her only change of clothes! Ef I only had my ruthers. They'd all have "stuff" and time enough To answer one another's Appealin prayer fer "lovin care"— Ef I only had my ruthers. They'd bo few folks 'ud ast fer trust— Ef I only had my ruthers— And blame few business men to bust Theirselves or hearts of others; Big guns 'at come hero durin fair Week could put up Jest anywhere And find a-full and plenty there, Ef I only had my ruthers; The rich and great 'ud 'sociate With all their lowly brothers Feelin we done the honorun— Ef I only had my ruthers. —James Whitcomb Riley. The Kstray. Wot's that you're askin? "Will I take hor back?" You bet! An smooth things over if I kin. "Ongratoful" an "o' no 'count," ye say? Waal, mebbe; 1 can't jedge another's sin.

Waal, it's my af fair. Folks 'at goes wrong ain't allers understood. 1 reckon them 'at ain't been tempted much Kin find it powerful easy ter be good.

Until Death. Make me no vows of constancy, my friend, To love mo, though I die, the whole lifelong. And love no other till thy days shall end- Nay, it were rash and wrong. It would not make me sleep more peacefully That thou were wasting all thy life in woo For my poor sake. What love thou hast for me Bestow it ere I go! Carve not upon a stone when I am dead The praises which remorseful mourners give To women's graves—a tardy recompense- But speak them while I live. Heap not the heavy marble on my head To shut away the sunshine and tho dew; Let small blooms grow there, and let grasses wave, And raindrops Alter through. Thou wilt meet many fairer and more gay Than 1; but, trust me, thou canst never find Ouo who will love and serve thee night and day With a more single mind. Forget mo when I die! Tho violets Above my rest will blossom just as blue. Nor miss thy tears—e'en Nature'sself forgets— But while 1 live, be true! Tho Ministry of Woman. How beautiful tho ministry Of woinun's gentle hand! How soft love's attributes that spring At her divine command. For weal or woe, for good or ill. About man's careless life She weaves the blossoms of her heart As mother, maid or wife. She leads his feet up from the pit; She bids his spirit rise; Sometimes by her superior will. Sometimes by pleading eyes. Or else she lures him from the height* To darkest depths below; From peace and Joy and love and heaven To bitterness and woe. Oh, woman, lovely womankind! Be careful how you play The role of queen, in this your realm. To him whom you may sway. —New York Ledger. Poetry.
