FEMALE CORRESPONDENTS ALL RIGHT All About the Sammer Girt $OFL I8 the Home Porch making The Best Re Matoh- Notes from Fren Sews Everywhore, “Well, I'll tell you what I think. I think any woman who will hitch hers 1o a chain with & big dog on the othor end, and go parading the streets, is worse than any heathen 1 ever vend of, and I know a respectable Indian would | have more sen I had rather b hitehed to a plow and driven by my hus- band in the ficlds, as [ have heard is the prac:ice in some foreign countries, for [ would at least have the satisfaction of knowing I was accomplishing some- thing. The speaker was sitting in the of a big tree in a city on the rip- banks of the old Missouri, She and her companion were discussing the *latest news," as women sometimes will, when & young lady, dressed in the la style, a beautiful Empive gown of t most picturesque r, leading 4 big, shade pped rd brown mastiff, passed down the streot on the other side. She had hold of chain and in the other hand carried a tiny whip. The dog was & fine s men, and no doubt enjoyed the walk, although he sniffed longingly at ti dusty street, as though he thonght, wish nld take a goodiroll in that n dust,” for he was only a dog with dog tastes. As the pair, if two of such kinds make A pair, pussed out of view the second woman said, *“Yes, youare right, it docs look silly, and asifa woman was ha pushed for pastime when she will up a dog as that one is, with ribbon and harne and spend 8o much time and money on him when s0 many little children vight here in our ety are s fering for' just such attention. Women his are selfish, unthinking creatures some- times, and especially” young women, [ an well acquainted with that you lady, and while she occasionally re sponds to a call for chavity out of her abundant means, still she always thinks sho hus no time and will not give personal attention to such matters. If she would spend the time each duy in giving attention to som child whom she ‘has always with h that she gives that dog, the child w receive benefits that would last its life long. It actually coxts us much, or ve nearly so, to feed that great brute as would to teed the child.” *I wonder. said the first speaker, “if any one has ever called her attention to the matter in that way, for T declare it never struck ild me in that light.” “Yes, I think so, but she says ‘T ean’t give up my darling “Hero” or *Fido," ' or some such idiotic trash, and so she goes on and buys him ribbons and dog biscuit and gives him baths while her washwoman's’ baby has not enough plain little dresses so it can | be kept elean.” But T must o, goodby. Those words are words of wisdom and dear woman reader, if you must have a dog, let him take a'dog's place and por- tion in the world, and don't, for the sake of your own child, or if you arc a young lady, for the of the' little one thut may some day be yours and possibly yro hungry (stranger things have happened), don't Iet your fondness for dogs or for *fads” make you forget you are a civil- ized woman, ‘and that wetual, present duties cannot be shunned or dodged without the greatest evil results coming to yourself. You will grow selfish and erieland to a thinking woman what could be more appalling or more greatly to be abhorred than this * P A man writing in one of our recent magazines gets very much excited over the fact that therc arca good many women correspondents for newspap at the World's fair. He sa The female correspondent is unique in a generation of noveltics. She wears an wiv of vast superiority. Her coiffure is one of the inscrutable marvels that we ure always meeting when we have no kodak, and her hat s always on one side, " and her note book and encil —are always in cvidence,” Then he talks about these women look- ing like a cyclone had just been dis- posed of by them, and a Iot more slush on the same order. He isa_ worse back number than the old rusty tin sign down on Capitol avenue which bears the le- gend: “Skates shurpened here,” e.” The female corvespondent at the World's fair i disheveled or cyelonic in her appearance than the balaice of her sisters, affer being jostled and shoved and blown about’ by the lake winds which hold high carnival, among other attractions, at the White Ci Th woman corre- spondent gefs paid for her work, she does it well, and, Mr Man, she is hero to She is keen, alert and up to her 8, und then she keeps at it and has no weeks off. This is her strong point. One of them. If she looks wise and superior it is because she despises hypocritical expression. She is in the work to muke money and as Ambrose Bierce says of the cow running (he may have meant a woman) she has *'a more lively scnso of the why than the how,” . The phrase “a blushing bride” has some to be u mere figurative expression totally inupplicable to the serenety self- possessed young woman who forms the center of attraction at the modern fash- iopable wedding. Her grandmother, in order to behave becomingly, eultivated the utmost possible shyness of demeanor: but a couple of gencrations bave changed all that, and the modern bride exhibits a placid composure that would have been frowned upcn unmercifully a half-cen- tury agro. At a recent wedding in Washington the bride showed more than the usual lack of trepidation. The church was filled with a brilliant company, and from | the moment of her entrunce sho knew herself 10 be the eynosure of every ey but she went through the ceremony as if being married wore an everyday teeur- rence, to be regarded with indifference, if not with positivedisdain. The climax was reached when, leuning on her hus- band’s avan, she passed through the doorway leading to the vestibule, Just inside the door stood a group of friends —young women who had arrived too late t0 ve uwecommodated with seats beyond the ribbon. Pausing on the threshold, knowing full well that every eye in the ehurch was bent upon her, the bride de- liberately leaned toward her friends and whispered loud eaough to be heard by the bystanders: *“I'll chaperon you girls next season.” It was in a streot car and the passen- gers were all fretting and nervous over the heat. A man and woman and & fat baby occupied the corner seats. The baby, after climbing around in un aim- less manner popular with infants, at last began to ery lustily, while the man jolted it up and down, first on one knee and then on the other, giving it his wateh to play with and doing his best to soothe the antics of the youngster.

There is undoubtedly more gained by a summer outing that includes | fishing and shooting thun by an; kind of a vacation, for the reason that the pursuit of either of the sports brings into play all the muscles and gives the greatest amount of genuine X se with the least fatigue.

Nine years ago according to the historian, the shirt waist for women was unknown, At that time Miss Jane Nelson was living quietly in Grame park, without a thought of the part sho was destined to play in the mancipation of her sex. One day Mr, R Osborne, to whom Miss Nelson was engaged to be married ing with her when he spied his tailor's sign across the str d the arred to him that he ought to go in and his order forsome negligee shirts over to the shop and selected the mate- rials Then it was that a gr tailor. He suggested to th ung lady that she would be much mor mforta- | ble if she, too, had a loose, cool waist, and the young lady agreed that she would, (he measure was taken forthwith, and the construction of the first lady's shirt begun. At least a dozen at- tempts were made before the difficulties of fitting were overcome. At length Miss Nelson struck envy to the souls of her friends by appearing in her new shirt waist, in which she fairly luxuri- ated before their envious eyes. She did not retain her lonely eminence of com- fort very long, however, and this season the same tailor who then made the one walist for Miss Nelson has made 6,000 waists, and is still at work. Of course, that is a mere drop in the bucket compared with the millions which are sold in the stores. tlong after the evolution of the shirt waist the same tailor was furnish- ing tennis outfits for the Columbian stu- dents when a second brilliant idea came to him. He suggested to a certain Mr. Lee that a pretty girl and o stunning blazer would not be n bad combination. Mr. Lee thought so, too. He put_th case in that light to uis friend, M Juckson, and, presto! the young lady came out in the 'varsity stripe and a bluze of glory. These successes opened the way to what has become & great movement in women's fashions, the modelling of fem- inine rarr-ents after the masculine on For instance, this same tailor was one evening watching some members of the Racquet club dress for dinner, when he said to one of them: *Why wouldn't your wife look well in a gown'similar to your dress suit?" “She would,” replied the gallant hus- band. “Make her one.” It was done. The suit was of plain dark cloth. The skirt was perfectly plain, because the emblunce to the man’s suit was to be carried out as per- fectly as possible, and trousers are not trimmed. The coat had silk faced lapels and was cut away with a claw- hammer back. A white waistcoat and white shirt completed the outfit, which was quite popular for a time. Mrs. Burke Roche and Mrs. Hewitt enjoy the distinetion of introducing the frock coat as a part of the feminine wardrobe. The coats made for them were modeled diveetly after the pic- tures shown in in the fashion plate for gentlemen. Both ladies have superb figures and can wear such a garment with fine effect. Linen riding habits for ladies wero first made at” the time of the famou Waterbury amateur circus when Mrs. Duncan Elliott, Mr Adolph Laden- burg and Miss Care made their ap- pearance in the ring arrayed in these gowns. The Eton jacket next rose, and how it has flourished! Now we huve the three- button cutaway, which is tho swell thing at preseat. But the very latest thing, in fact only one has been made as ¥ hatis to be called the ‘“Ad- miral cket. Ttis in imitation of a naval officer’s jacket, and is new and chic. The one which has been com- pleted is of white duck. It [fastens straight up the front, clear to the neck, the buttons being concealed by a fly, There is a narrow standing collar with a row of wide white braid in the middle and a strip of narrow braid on each side. These sume braids are run down the front, around the bottom, and along the seams. The narvow brading is not con- tinuous, but is finished at the ends with loops. Another fud is the hip pocket for keys. A button is sewed on the belt, the regulation chain attached, and the ki at the other end slipped into miludy's hip pocket.

One of the first gifts of the duke of York to his bride was a brilliant white rose of dia- monds with raised leaves, An easy way of making a lace trim- ming distinet from the dress, to slip on as reqnired, is a simple yoke of pi luce with six-inch edging fulled around it and a lace collar to finish the neck, or a Spanish jacket of lace with a deep turn down frill all around the top. The clown sle which is much newer than the bulging style of the carly season, is composed entirely of rufiles from the elbow to the should The puffed sleeve is diminishing upward, and every fresh touch of fashion reveals a little more of the tight undersleeve. The combination of black and cream color is just now exceedingly popular,and deservedly so. Tt is quiet and ladylik becoming also, and uo means devoid of a cortain air of refined elegance that is restful and charming when the pre- vailing tendency is toward excess of color, An attractive little affair for a young lady is made of black Nowered net, com- bined with white lace, which forms points into the back from the lower edge. A high collar, and a narrow frill edgea with white lace avound the yoke of net, lined with shot silk, com- plete this dressy little cape.

The one in question is of blue and red figured silk and plain blue, which forms the seamless waist and the deep band around the skirt. Both Scotch and Irish linens are in high vogue. The former are somewhat, Conrs in exture. One of the much- worn butcher-blue linen dresses, made with an untrimmed bell skirt, has a Princess May coat faced with black moire, the lapels very wide and the ser- pentine blouse beneath made of black China silk dotted with blue. The new patterns in wall paper are designed in very light shades. The figures ure small and centrasting colors are easily seen. The borders are deep and the picture mouldings are of oak or walnut. ~ Care should be taken to have the furniture coverings, carpet and paper blend, and the lighter the colors selected this season the better. A unique reception dress described in a foreign paper has a black satin skirt and a low bodice of pale green crepe de chine, draped around the figure and tied in a bow at the back, and over the shoulders of this fall braces of lace, with long jet tassels dangling almost to the hips. "The sleeves of pale green are of “angel” shape, which shows the arm.
