Art Work by Women.

To thoso who have paid no particularattention to th© work that women aredoing in the applied arts, tho exhibitionof tbeirwork lately seen at the Americanart galleries must havo been a pi usnreand a surprise. Sjmo idea of it- -ropeIs to be had by noticing the gn ;-s inwhich the work is catalogued, o:: roupconsisting of applied and dec ttivepainting, one of stained glass ar> :'assmosaics and a third of modeli undplastic ornament. Group4shov. ;>eci-mens of designing and construe ") offurniture, wood carving and on ient-ed, inlaid and gilded woods; grou; 5, or-namented leather, paper and otl; f wallhangings, ond group 6, modern textiles,needle wrought tapestries and designsfor carpets.

Modem embroideries, ecclesiasticalembroideries of designs for gold and sil-ver work and for tho engraving andcarving of precious and semipreciousstones are included in other groups. Con-siderable space is also devoted to pottery

and cut and engraved j,;lass.A smaller group shows what it omenhave done in designing or v/ov irq inwrought iron, brass and copper, i .'no ofthe most interesting department '- *filledwith the book covers, bindings md illus-trations douo by women, Mothr.; hand

' made laces are also a part of the .".thib-its. Much of this work has been ,:ccept-ed by manufacturers who have a reputa-tion for bringing out in their variouslines many of the choicest and most av-tistic things in the market.

Aglance at the exhibits shows nothingmore charming for pillows, bookcasecurtains and other hangings than the"shadow silks" of the Associated Artists,with their soft, changeable lights.?NewYork Post.

A Jewish Wedding In I^ondon.Thero is always something very effect-

ive about a Jewish wedding, and noth-]ing could havo been prettier than thewedding of Mrs. BischofJshelm's niece,Miss Rose Goldsmidt, with Baron Eon-igswater, which took place at tlto Re-form synagogne in Berkeley street.There was nothing specially remarkableabout the wedding dross, which waatrimmed with chiffon and had a courttrain carried by a tiny maiden of 4 in aquaint Dntch costume, bnt the bouquetwas composed almost entirely orangeblossoms, which aro particularly luxu-riant this year, with clusters of tinygreen and yellow oranges which gave apretty touch of color to tho purity ofthe bridal attire. Tho bridesmaids' cos-tumes .of white silk were very ch;'.rul-ing, though they were draped witi: tholace fichu wliichstill pervades wp 'nggarments. Tuoy weTO thorough 1 30in style.

Philadelphia Telegraph.

Women For Postmasters.

Tho news comes from Washington thatthe president has promulgated an orderlhat "women who received presidentialappointments under former administra-tions are to bo placed on the disqualifiedlist with masculine ex-officeholders."Thh> means in effect simply that thowomen who have been appointed post-masters under former administrationswillnot be appointed again, forvery fewwomen indeed have been appointed toany other position than that of postmas-ter.

It may be added that it would be wellif the president would now adopt thofurthor rulo of appointing women aspostmasters in every caso where ho cando so consistently with tho public inter-est. They havo but a small share of offi-cial places at the best and should receiveall the consideration that can be extend-ed to them in the small field of employ-ment that is open to them. The servicesof men are required in the larger postof-fices undoubtedly, but women can anddo filltho minor offices?such as those inmost of tho towns and villages?whollyto the satisfaction of the public and ofthe .postoffice department. No manshoujd be appointed postmaster when awoman can be found to discharge the du-ties of that position. Wo aro sure thatthis plan would be approved by the peo-ple generally, and wo venture to expresstho hope that it will commend itself tothe approval of tlie president.?Charles-ton News and Courier.

What to Do With 801 lSkirts.Thero is no doubt that tho absorbing

topic of feminine interest jnst now is thoquestion of what is to be dono with lastsummer's bell skirts. Tho fact is be-

! coming palpable, painfully so, to thowomen who walk up and down streetand avenue eying each other critically,that the 1830 skirt ia not a success aa fartin tho average homemade one is con-cerned, and the majority are not mil-lionairesses and do inako our skirts athome. The pictures are beautiful in thofashion books, but as usual the ideal isfar too high, and in this case too wide tobe realized. Most of the skirts are madswithout goros around the waist, and inconsequence catch up awkwardly infront, which is agonizing unless one'sfootwear is perfect.

No one who lias handsome dresses,worn maybe twice last summer, is goingto discard them for this monstrosity.For such there is a way out of the diffi-culty, a simple liftingof tho bell skirt.A triangular pieco 13 cut oil from theback width of the bell skirt, and thenit is gathered into tho waistband. Bylining the bottom with a piece of hair-cloth only five inches wide tho desiredstiffness is given, and you have a skirtquite enough in the style to last duringthe present fashion, which is evanes-cent. ?Washington Post.

literary Women and Husbands.

Some idiot, having nothing else to do,has recently w*pt over women with al-leged brains because they can't get hus-bands. These alleged brains interfere.Men won't bave them for wives at anyprice. For proof of this assumption thisidiot names various literary women whoare fcimarried. The conclusion arrivedat is that those women are single becausethey have had no chance tobe otherwise.As a matter of fact there aro few womeninthis country who cannot marry earlyand often if they wish. The proportionofunmarried literary women is no largerthan unmarried any other kind ofwomen.

Men marry and women marry whenactuated by love, not because the- oppo-site sex has or has- not a gigantic intel-lect, but because of personality. Whenliterary women are attractive in personor manner, or possess the indescribableje ne sais quel, which often goes fartherthan beauty, they draw the opposite box,

and vico versa. George Sand and GeorgeEliot and Mrs. Browning had no beautywhatever, but tbey appealed to certainmen very decidedly. Tho old fashionedidea of the bas bleu died some time ago.This scribbling idio*is a Silnriani?KateField's Waahington.

ThenMadge said, "Oh, I almost forgot!" andshe fished a bottle of pepsin out of herpocket and took three little yellow tab-lets for her digestion.I met Maude yesterday, and she in-

1qnircd anxiously if 1 thought she waslooking better than the last time Isawher. I replied in the affirmative, andshe said: "Well, Tn taking a tonic anda course of Turkish baths. One needsmodioine at this time of the year."

A Breach of Good Breeding.

During the past winter a lady, open-ing a new, largo and handsome house,issued invitations for a ball. Out ofnearly 800 acceptances, 125 failed to ap-pear, and yet they had allbeen providedfor in the onteTtainmcnt. Another ladygave a smaller party, and ont of 150 per-sons who accepted 75 did not go. Thenagain, when invitations had been issuedfor private theatricals or readings anddefinite answers had been requested byreason of the seats, the acceptances werenot at all considered, and the hostesswas prevented from asking other friends?the invitations being limited?becausethe could not believe that chairs by doz-ens would be empty. She took the ac-ceptance, as any true woman wouldhavedone, in good faith.

There may be reasons why some fewpersons at the last moment are prevent-ed from attending a party, but not inthe numbers above given. When suchthings do occur, a well bred person willsend his or her apology, which of courseis courteous and admissible. But to ac-cept an invitation not meaning to at-tend, aud for the absurd reason, as. hasbeen given, that it is more polite to ac-cept than to refuse, is the height of illbreeding, impoliteness and discourtesy.?Boston Transcript.

The New Soavenir Coins.

The 40,000 souvenir quarter dollarswhich congress authorized to be mintedfor the board of lady managers of theWorld's fair have just been issued.These souvenir coins aro of peculiar in-terest for several reasons. Tho act ofcongress authorizing their issue onlyprovides for the minting of $10,000, or40,000 quarters; hence they will be ex-tremely rare. They are certain to com-mand tho attention of women the worldover, since they are the first recognitionby any government of tho position thatwomon are nt'lining in art, indnntrialand social r u-nts. Tho coin itselfis a work of

One of th.- . ..i foatu.. 1 the newcoin is that it is ths first issued by thisgovernment to bear the portrait of awoman. Other coins bear the Goddessof Liberty and similar ideal figures, but

this is the first portrait of a real woman.The coin is intended by tho national gov-ernment to commemorate twoimportantevents ?tho aid given by Queen Isabellato Columbus, which enabled him to matetho voyage of discovery to America, andthe first special provision made by theUnited States government for the ade-quate participation ofwomen in an en-terprise of worldwide importance.?Ex-change.

Mm. Cleveland* School Days.

Mrs. Cleveland was not noted for be-ing a brilliantscholar while at school orcollege. She was an indolent, fun lov-ing girl and was not a "goody goody" ora "holyterror." Her first French com-position was a biographical account ofEugnenoSue, very badly written as far aspenmanship goes and crouched in thehumblest of French words. She calledherself Frank in those days and wasvery fond of dancing and having her"pictor took." She was a real, little,simple American girl without any ex-traordinary talents. Probably that waswhy the was so popular with the peopleofademocratic land. Sho had no ultraaristocratic training or manners or preju-dices. Itremains tobo seen whether aft-er her social experiences of eight yearsshe willbe as much ofa favoriteas ever.?Advertiser.

Gtom For Summer Wear.

These gloves are not onlya good purchase for seaside and countrywear, but they are most desirable forgeneral uses.
