" FEDERATION OF THE FAIR Biennial Gathering of the Women's Olubs at Philadelphia, “A MAN THEY CCULDN'T TALK TO DEATH Marked Improvement in Conduct of Afinirs Dispensed with Smart Talk and Cheap Flings at Men—Fash- jon Notes It has been good to be at Philadelphia at the second biennial convention of the general fedoration of the women's clubs, and it has been lots of fun. When all is said the probably ne who women mor. than a woman. Although she takes hersl individuaily very seriousiy, she has a happy one enjoys faculty of putting herself on the outside when looking at the rest of her sex, =ays a writer In the New York Times, and she finds them very amusing. For example, almost every other woman when she went Into th room in the ew Century club house, wher her railroad tickets were to be vised for the reduced rates, found that the railroad had sent as agent receive them a man who was very deaf, No questions were needed to be asked —the rtificates to.d the story and the a nt work with but did his skill and the women saw (he humor of it dispateh, “Isn't it funny!” “Perfeetly delicious!’ “I suppose they thought we would talk him to death”—these and sim'lar comments be- trayed their appreciation and cnjoyment of the situation And at the hotel where most of the tes stayed, when a woman the office and cugerly asked if So left a message for 1 questioner herself and the w laughed genfally when the that a reply would be facilitated if he knew who “me’ was, The clerk did smile then, or at any time when seen, took the women very solemnly and r- heard once to groan out a wish, under his breath, to a fellow-clerk, that the eonvention would ‘sit in continnous session, taking no recess to let the women loose. In point of fact, the convention was just liko a men’s convention, and the women did no more foolish things than a similar assorted body of men would do, but, being women, they were subject to a kcener eriticism, and being women also, they had a much better dele rushed up to rs. So-and it the men about who clerk suggested was not He was ¢ time than men do at conventions, for the . flayor of novelty is stiil in them to us. Seriously again, it was good to be in Philadelphia the past week. ing, with representati south and east and west brings a social con- tact that the women of the country need more than the men, because they do not get it so often. That was one of the great benefits of the Columbian exposition—the extension of acquaintance among the women of the nation, and if these national sessions had no other aim they would still be good things. Perhaps this vivifying influence was most evidenced in the session on Thursday after- Such a gather- from the north and noon in the Chestnut Street opera house. This was an open discussion on what con- stitutes an ideal club. The first effect of the big auditorium was to frighten the women, but under the calm and easy de- meanor of the pre:iding officer, Mrs. Brown, that quickly wore off, and women rose to add their three-minute bricks to the ideal structure so rapidly that not infrequently three or four would be secking recognition at once. These messages from women to women, told now in the slow drawl and pretty accent of the south, now in the earn- e:t western fashion, here with the twang of New England spe there with the flavor of New York utterance, ied as much significance perhaps in their manner as in their matter. Mrs. Julia. Ward Howe was warmly ap- plauded when she advocated the existence of men's clubs on the one side and women's clubs on the other, to be supplemented by the mixed club, into which the best of the other two should be brought One thing the looker-on could not fail to observe—the development of women in the matter of conducting affairs. The sessions ‘were easily handled, and the business of each was promptly conducted. There was a pose and equilibrium to the body that has / been wanting in women's gatherings, but 1 growing to be less and less missed. There was an absence, too of the smart talk and . cheap flings-at men and other institutions { that ‘all women do respect and i admire, but which some of them think it clever to poke fun at. The federation was a dignified and well-bred assemblage, and it went about its business in a self-respecting way without self-consclousness or compla- cent importance. There are critics cven among club women who question the us fulness of the federation, and some of them doubted if the body could reach a second biennfal: It certainly has and passed it successfully, and by its demeanor at this time demonstrated not only its cause of be- dng, but its right as well to many future biennials. The wise woman does not expend large sums of money on velvet and silk trimmed frocks it ‘sho fully appreciates the attrac- tive qualities of dimities, dotted Swiss and duck costumes when the days grow warm. No matter how elegant may be the ma- terlal, if its-texture and general appearance cannot be approved on the score of suita- bility as far as the weather is concerned, it looks uncomfortable and displeases the eye, whereas, on the other hand, the 10- cent mu:lin, with its inexpensive trimming, presents a restful and artistic picture far more In keeping, despite the vast difference in_the cost of the two gowns. Now, to look well dressed at all times during the leated term, says the Philadel- phia Times, a woman must have at least a half dozen' thin frocks. OFf these two at least should be white, whether they are of duck or Swiss. A blue and white striped sateen made with a white vest can be com- fortably worn to travel in and will prove & blessing to the wise one who selects such attire rather than a cloth with high velyet collar and cast fron linings. The linen suits now so much in vogue are always most genteel in appearance and are among the least expensive of the summer fittings. ~ These as well as the duck co tumes can be bought ready made at most moderate prices, any alteration necessary being done at a very small advance on th marked' price, and the advantage of excel lent fitting and thorough workmanship thus comes within the range ~f the most limited purse. A woman arrayed In one of these cool, stylish looking affairs with the suppl mentary fixings' in the way of sailor hat, shoes and parasol, all in white, looks the essence of refined comfort on those days when the mercury is doing its best to climb out upon the wooden frame of the thermom eter, The musling, organdies and other sheer materials do not need the careful precision of fit so necessary In tallor made effects, therefore any woman possessing a modicum of taste and ability can by her own hands Jfashion several pretty dresses which, by the ald of lace and ribbon remnants, become fr- resistibly attractive to the masculine ad- pirer, who can judge of effect but Is utterly jost 80 far as detall Is concerned A couplo of cool white wrappers for the house are positive luxuries, These need not be of the slovenly type that the word wrap- per wsually implies, nor need they be over whélmed with lace and embroldery and dig- nified by the title of tea gowns, but made half fitting, with big sleeves and a ribbon belt, they are neat and sensible, and not even the most exaeting person could find fault with a woman for adopting such garh when in the seclusion of her own abode.

The triumph of Miss Kate Windschied in being graduated from the old University of Heldelberg with the title ot doctor of philosophy is a triumph for all German women. She is the first woman to win this distinction in Germany, and she won it from the proudest and oldest university in the Fatherlind, and against the prejudice and traditions which heretofore had been Insurmountable. The theory—or fact, rather—of the in- tollectual equality of men and women has never beon admitted by German: in general says the New York Tribune, although they have read proofs of it in thelr coples of Plato and ‘in the pages of thousands of other writers, They kept not only the pro fossional #chools at the universities close to women, but the gymnasia, or college and forced the clever ones o qu thirst for knowledge in the so-called “‘sem inaries,” wlose curriculum was made up chiefly of history, literature and modern languages, But German women who (rav- eled in foreign lands and re t the priv jleges of women in this country wnd Eng land, especlally in the educational line, be gan to grow impatient under the restrie- tions to whieh they were subject One of the first advances made in Ger- many was the estabiishment at Berlin of the Vietoria lyceum under the protectorate of the ex-Empress Frederick, always one of the le for the higher ders in the movement education of German women. Then came, last year, the founding of the ymnasia at Carlsruhe and Weimar, with the same courses of study as in the in- titutions attended by the young men. Other. are to be founded in varfous cities including one under the very walls of ti cient Heidelberg institution, from which so many men have dilated upon ‘‘the in tellectual inferiority of wemen.” But with the action of the university regarding Miss Windschied all prefudice scems to have been overcome, and by the time that the first diplomas are granted by the women's mnasia the doors of every univerity in many will probably be cpen to their graduates, ss Windschied was born on August 2§ 1859, In Munich, as the daughter of the lat Prof, Windschied, one of the most famous teachers of law on the continent. She was educated at schools in Munich, Heidelberg Leipsic and Berlin, attending the Victoria Iyceum in the latter Her course there was supplemented by studies in England where she worked much in the British museum. In 1890, having been a teacher in the meantime, She hegan the study of philosophy at the university, and was grad- uated a few weeks ago. he subject of rthese: w nglish * Pastoral Poetry from 1 Miss Windschied has an Interesting face, kindness being expressed in_ almost feature.

When his father had died some ten years before his eighteen wives had been burned. I did not wish this accident to recur, remained in the neighborhood, and took the necessary pre- cautions. Next day after breakfast I was told that a lady wished to speal with me, and passing into my shemiana I found a tall native lady, closely veiled, with two native attendants, ‘Sahib!' she cried to m. ‘there Is an order out in your name sepr rating me from my lord. We have already heard that the English is a good and just government, which will not oppress the weak, therefore I cannot believe this great wickedness of you. For twenty years have I been at my lord’s hand to cherish and comfort him; never have I failed him in his need; now my lord has gone on his long journey, today he yet lingereth, but he will koon be gone, whither, if T join him not now, I shall never find him, and through all the ages he will wander alone. Will you, who are not of our people dare to do this thing? Iis father is there and his father and their wives, and they will mock, saying: “Wert thou on earth of such small account ihat no woman accompanies thee across the barrier?

She died that night; there was no sati.' The old-time darkey butler and the well- scrubbed, spotlessly white marble doorsteps used in 0l days to be almost universal ad- juncts of a well-kept establishment in Phila- Uelphia, says the New York Tribune. Even now, among the old conservative people, the ancient landmarks still exist. At cer- tain houses the matutinal maid can yet be seen at an Impossibly early hour with her pail and scrubbing brush, effacing the marks of tho previous day's travel on her mistress's beloved doorsteps, and polishing up the brass knocker on the big white door, which an hour or so later will be opened by a grinning old negro butler in a white walstcoat—an amiable functionary who converses affably with his master as he helps him on with his coat, and comes out on the step to watch him walk away. “It is like going back several decades to stop at Mrs. A.'s,” exclaimed a New Yorker who had recently returned from a visit to the Quaker City. ‘“Everything is so pre- cise and well ordered, and so stiff and so wonderfully clean. ry chair has had its accustomed place for years, and the routine of the house is like clockwork. Al the servants are colored, and from George Washington Curtis, the butler, Idown to Phemie, the kitchen maid, all are as black as the ace of spades. The maids all wear huge white aprons, with wide, stiff strings, and snow-white turbans; and as for George Washington Curtis, he is altogether the mosi magnificent gentleman of my acquaintance Having lived since his boyhood in what he considers the ‘fust families of the country,' he has a lofty scorn of modern fashions, and he ignores all the latest expressions en- tirely. “{s Mrs. A.

Miss Sally (Mrs. A) am in de parlor,’ he answered, rebukingly. ‘De young ladies dey take de drawing lessons upstairs in de sehool room. “‘Let me help le sald one day, to poke my big of my jacket, you wit dem puffs, missy,’ when I was vainly striying sleeves into the armholes ‘I llkes to see de young ladies wif dere wings all a-spreadin’—dey looks ke de angels, shuah,' he concluded, with an elaborate bow and beaming counte- nance. He was very auick to resent any criticisms of the existing order of things in the establishment. One day, after hav- ing had to hurry away from an agreeable tea to reach home fn time for a 6 o'clock Qinner, 1 was rash enough to observe, when he opened the door for me and cautioned me to make haste, ‘How early you dine here! At home we never have dinner be- fore 7:30 or 8.’ “'Why, dat’s jist like de pore folks' sup- per; does your pore pa- have to work so late?' was his quick and resentful reply. Dr. Paolo Montegazza, scholar of International reputation, has made an ex- haustive study of the human emotions, Some of his conclusions recorded in “The Physi- ology of Love' are as follows To say that in life we can love but once 18 to utter one of the greatest effronteries of which dove is dally guilty. To pretend that a prudent marriage gen- erates love is the same as to sow pumpkins and wish them to produce melons. To please n woman is a4 phrase that ex presses the sum of a hundred virtues and & thousaud artifices. He who bas kved and has been loved, even for a day, has no right to curse life, To preserve the love of & man or & Woman a it is necessary, after having won it, to win it again every day. One can love platonically for life, as one can be a great man withont having ever won a_battle, Invented a machine or written a book, but in one case and the other humanity has a right to ask: “A quol bon?" It is our own fault If we are not loved. This dogma Is eternal as the world, ancient as man, immutable as the laws which gov- ern the physics of the universe, The woman we love fs always an angel; she is mother, sister, daughter, wife. The woman we do not love f: only a female, even were she as beautiful as the Fornarina, as plastic as the Venus of Milo. alting cures capr.ces and strengthens true love walting kills false loves and makes the true ones great and noble; to wait means to be sincere, prudent, good, holy.

In felling how she came to avoid the conven! nal method by which a woman can gain a livelihood and adopt this originai means of support she once said: “I was brought up, like lots of other girls, to think that work was demeaning to womanhood. My father died when I was quite young. This was all very we'l until I fell sick and ran up a doctor's bill of $300 for mother to pay., Then I said to myself: ‘Ses here, Mary Bates, If you haven't enough spunk in you at least to buy your own gloves and shoes the next year you'd better die.” S0 1 went to work to think out a way. My friends had always considered that I pos sessed a pretty knack for grouping flowers, and could make up a bow or a bouquet more quickly and successfully than most folk Acting on that remembrance, I dressed my self and went to call on a woman who stood high on the soclal ladder. Of course It was somewhat to my advantage that I knew such a woman, and that she knew enough of me to give me her interested attention But I was perfect'y aware that the step I was contemplating would forever bar me from an entrance to her home on an equal- ity of social standing. 1 said to her: - ‘The next party you have, let me be the decor: tor; if 1 fail nobody will know it, and if T succeed it will be the first stepping stone.’ “Well, it happened that the lady was to give a dinner party within the next fort- night, and she gave me permission to under- take it. I went to three or four of my friends, and told them they must help me. We made that woman's dining room and table a dream. We avolded conventionality a stiffness with an amazing resuit. Everybody talked about Mrs. So-and-So's de- lightful party, and _my friend w cind enough to give my name to all who inquired who the decorator might be. The result was that I had two calls within a very short time to repeat my success.” Of course, after this Miss Bates' fame grew fast, and she now has half a dozen helpers, and at the end of seven years a good income and absolute independence. She has a storeroom a delivery wagon. When word is sent that Mrs. A—— gives a- party on such an even- ing, the seven girls take possession of the place at the appointed time. Bach girl wears a long white apron, a carpenter's belt of pockets holding everything from needles and thread to hammer and tacks. When the tables are ready they arrange them to suit themselves, avoiding set floral designs, using chiefly loose flowers, wreaths, ferns and branches. Weekly orders are sent hundreds of miles into the woods for ferns, mosses and wild flowers. Funel re undertaken as well as wed- dings and parties. Not long ago they pad- ded the walls of a room from ceiling fo sub- base with lilies, and made a canopy over- head of the same pure blossoms. In the center stood the coflin of a young girl cov- ered with a pall of maidenhair and violets. Miss Bates is the young woman who was sent, with four others, to decorate the Call- fornia state building at the World's fajir. and workshop, also The most striking feature of the mission- ary work at Kaisarieh is the education of the Armenian women, whose social potition scems to be even more degraded than that of their Turkish sisters, says a writer in the Century. With the native Armenians, as with the Turks, fleshiness adds much to the price of a wife. The wife of a mis- slonary is to them-an object both of wonder- ment and contempt. she walks along the street they will wh er to one another: “There goes a woman who knows all her husband’'s business, and who can manage Just as well as himself.” This will gener- ally be followed in an undertone by the ex: pression, “‘Madana satana,” which means in common parlance a ‘“female devil,” At first it was a struggle to overcome this ig- norant prejudice and to get girls to come to the school free of charge; now it is hard to find room for them even when they are asked to pay for thelr tuition. The costume of the Armenian woman is generally of some bright-colored cloth, pret- tily trimmed. Her coiffure, always clabo- vate, sometimes includes a string of gold coins, encircling the head, or strung down the plait. A silver belt incloses the waist, and a necklace of coins calls attention to her pretty neck. When washing clothes by the stream they frequently show a gold ring en- circling an ankle. A taste for sugar has been developed in time among all fruit-eating and flower- feeding species, says a writer in the Cornhill Magazine. So, also, has a taste for bright hues and an advanced color sense. Where- ever in the animal world you find high deco- ration and splenid or expanded ornamental adjuncts—as in the butterflies, the golden beetles, the humming birds, the sun birds, the parrots, you will almost invariably find the species which display them are con- firmed sugar eaters. The love for color and the love for sugar go hand in hand throughout the whole creation. The birds of prey, the wolves, the carrion beetles have none of either. They are dull and dingy or else protectively colored. Strange as it may sound at first hearing to say so, sugar and the aesthetic sense are bound up closely together. Bright flowers are the colored expansions which advertise honey to insects; bright fruits are the colored pulps which advertise seeds and their sugary coating to birds and mammals. The im- portance of this conjunction can hardly be overestimated. And is it not even a sig- nificant fact_that our confections themselves re rendered more attractive to the color- loving eyes of ingenfous youth by streaks of red and blue and yellow Fruit, flowers, honey sugar, these the basis of all’ aesthetic development, Miss A. M. Willlams of Wilmington, Del., has contributed a clever paper to the Educa- tional Review on Athenian girlhood. A female child came into the world with a dark shadow hanging over her, for. her ex- istence depended upon the caprice of the form father. If he willed it, on the fifth day her existence was terminated. If permitted to live, her early life had plenty of interests. She had all the toys she wanted and as she grew into youth she might be called upon to perform honorable offices in connection with religious rites Marriage, however, meant a virtual impris- onment in the gynaecontis, where she had to pend her days In absolute seelusion, rarely going out, except to some religious festivals, and seeing little of her husband or father. FASHION NOTES. Chiffon veilings are in demand. New white serge caps are piped with moire. Turn-down collars are a new feature of capes. Shepherd's-check costumes are in high vogue. Light alligator belts are made to wear with tan and white check ginghams. The latest fad in underclothing is white silk garments trimmed with black lace. Dotted Swiss muslin with lace and ribbon trimmings makes an ideal graduation dress. Russet costumes Include gowns, shoes, belt and fancy straw-sound hat or Duse turban. A novelty in lace Is made with a ground of three different materizls—gulpure, net and gauze. Something nseful in belts consists of a nickel silver frame into which a ribbon of any color may be inserted. Chambrays in pink, corn yellow, blue or mauve are decorated with Irish guipure lace with skirt insertions to match. A brownish pink called cloyer ogler, flower blue, dull greens and cyclamen, are among the most fashionable colors Street suits of hair-striped or dotted plque have a gored skirt, open jacket and vest of white linen duck cut double-breasted. Hair cloth and alpaca skirts made with three ruffles up the back and a steel in the bottom are prophetic of a crinoline scare. Serge, which has been popular so many years, has had its day, and glossy satin- finished cloth and tweeds are in great de- mand Pink linen shirt waists with trimmings of white linen lace insert'on on the collarette, pves and belt are stylish and becoming.

There 1s considerable difference of opinion as to whether uniforms and arms should be oo purchased by the individuals or by the stat while a gréat many are in favor of doing nothing but drill without arms and uniforms. The objection is raiced that if the state should furnish the arms and uniforms the members of the companies would be subject to call at any time and might be asked to shoot down their fellow worke and for this reason it is strongly argued t it would be much better for all to simply form in companies and elect drill masters who would teach them the science of military tac- tics every Knight of Labor in the city favors the plan of organizing home guards and the leaders say they will be right in line when the Central Labor union de- ares in favor of it and appoints its recruit- g5 officers.

The.employes of the r road companies in Omaha generally regard the new union as the coming railroad or- ganization, and many of them are paying more attention to its workings than to the ol ailvay orders. They regard it as being organized upon better lines than have been followed heretofore, and every local member of the union seems to place entire confidence in Bugene V. Debs, their brainy, level-headed leader. The victory won on the Northern Pacific is pointed to as the rosult of united action upon the right lines, and it is predicted that the union will koon be known as the leading railroad labor or- ganization of America.
