LANTAL ¢ Cot- No better evidence of the social changes of nt day can be found, says Leslie's Weekly, than in the part taken by southern women in the making of the Cotton States and International exposition at Atlanta. Not hat there s any particular novelty to the fact. ‘The Woman's bullding at the Colum bian World's fair at Chicago will long be rc membered as a wonderful monument to wor n by woman. In every part of the eastern, northern, central and western states the vies witl man in industrial, prof intellectual progress. In all thes fots the old order has yielded to the new. But in the south it has heretofore been very differ- ent ne old order prevailed everywhere Conservatism was the universal rule, and change scemed impossible. The Atlanta ex- position has wrought a peaceful but rapid revolution in Dixie. Within a twelvemonth it has effccted a change would have utterly horrified Mrs. Grundy in 18 It has put the south in line with the r t the union, and opened up a new era for | people. The story is brief and interesting. When the male directors began th s and ar rangements for the expositio; was little or no provision made for what is now know is a woman's department. But there were thousands of cultured southern men and women who had attended the World's fair, and been amazed at the Woman's building and its exhibils within the fair grounds, and the great Woman emple in the city proper. This acted as an incentive, which resulted in the formation of a board of lady managers, including a large number @of the leading women of the state. The exposition directors eing -unable to furnish a building, the women raised, by their own ef- forts, the sum of $15,000, to which he directory afterward made an addition of $10,000. Then the energetic woman's board opened a competition for female archite and selected the design of one of the compati- tors, Miss Mercur of Pittsbur, for the Woman's building. This much accomplishe the board formulated a plan of action far-reaching and comprehensive as to equal that of the Chicago falr. A board of visitors was established, consisting of Mrs. Cleveland the countess of Aberdeen, a dozen distin guished society women from the great cities )t tho land, and another dozen from G Tuis gave the woman’s department tone and character of the best type second move was to enlist the interest of the many women's ocganizations of the country; a third, to obtain the invaluable aid of the press, domestic and foreign; a fourth, to at tract exhibitors from distant points, both at home and abroad; and a fi , to increase the attractiveness, variety, beauty and utility of the exhibits to be shown in the Wo building. Along all these lines work is now going on continuously. Assuring responses have come from every, quarter in the new world and the old. But it is in regard to ‘the exhibition of woman's industry and work that the largest labor has been done. The mere list of the committees affords a good Insight into what is being accomplished. Practically every- thing in which woman s concerned is covered. Among others there are committees on decorative and applied art, floriculture agriculture and pomology, fine art, sculpture hospitals and charities, kindergariens, day nurseri and children’s schools, woman's professicns, patents, inventions and disco ories, literature and the press, architectur building and housekeeping, bee culture, poul- try and ornithology, copking, embroidery and cducation, music, normal schoo's and colleges, and household econcmi The Woman's building under such auspices promises to be the feature of the exposition. It is artistic, home-like, and elegant. Th exhibits will ‘'be enough in number and in- terest to stock a great museum. It will un- doubtedly be an important factor in improv- ing the condition of the women in the south, and especially of those who are dependent. QUEEN 0 THE RIO GRANDE, Mrx. RE d King Owns th Ranch in the World, One representative in the next congress will be nominated and elected by a woman says the St Louis Globe-Democrat.

For every twenty miles of barbed wire fence there is a man to make repairs and see that no break occurs. In the old days to cut a fenca was an offense likely to result in the death of the perpetrator of the act. Throe hundrei cowboys are regularly employed, 1,200 ponies being set aside for thelr use. ary spring all of the calves are rounded up for branding. They are driven into a pen through a wooden chute, and as they leave the chute each one is caught by the leg and thrown upon its side. | Then one of a dozen irons that are kept hot in an open fire Is pressed upon the nimal's nose. Al brands are registered, and gometimes each member of a family has one. Mr. Davis speaks of a girl who came out in soclety in New York three winters ago and who is known in Texas only as ‘‘the owner of the triangle bran Nobody can get water in that country save by good will of the owners of the great estates, and no one can travel without their permission, inas- much as ther: e no public roads, ) CONFECTIONS.

Sorbets, which refreshingly between the joint course, are | very easily ma to have the proper moulds, as they need only to bo filled and buried in ice. A sorbet is usually made by mixing a lemon water ice | with llquor. or syrup for flavoring; a little | fruit, either fresh or preserved, serves' to garnish the sorbets, which, owing to the spirit used in making them, are never as solld as other Ices. Here is an easy recipe: Make a strong lemonade, and when partly frozen add two glasses of rum or brandy, or | one of brandy and three of champagna to a quart of ice.

THEE WORLD RICH WOMAN, have the butterfly, all out to have ice too, cream Hax 82 Income iveater Tha The richest woman In the world may come to live in New York. She is Senora Isadora Cousino of Santiago in Chili. Her fortunt has been estimated at $200,000,000. Many facts combine to make Donna Cous- ino of extreme Interest—her vast fortune, | her habit of spending it in Monte Cristo-like magnificance, her remarkable character and her twa beautiful daughters, She is a person 0 different from the ordinary, commonplace American millionaire that she will be object worthy of the attention of every class, from the members of fashionable soclety to students of political economy. Physically, Senora Cousino is of the high- | est type of Spanish beauty. Her daughters are all that could be desired as youthful type, and their appear- e in the national costume Is charming enora Cousino lives and spends her money without much regard to public opinion. She is very fond of bgight. havpy young men, She always surrounkls herse!f with a crowd of them, sometimes entertaining as many as thirty or forty atia time. To those who please her, accprding to the report of an Auerican who wvisited her at Santiago, she gives all the meney they can spend, When the American fleet was Upshur and albi g officers to visit Macul and at Sautiago. About twenty of them accepted/ “The whole city of San- tiago was at their disposal. They could pay for nothing in shops and restaurants and the- aters, Senora! Coudino had sent orders to the trades people ‘that everything shc charged to her.' Never before had t tully realized that‘fdmiliar expression, Ing the town. 0 v The senora’s iproperties include silver, cop- per and coal milnes, tnnumerable herds of cattle, ncres of“relll estate in Santiago and tha two chief cities of Chili; a steamships, a railroad, smelting works, vineyards and immense ' tracts of arable land. She not only sells large num- bers of fine horses and cattle, but has had much success on the race cou She bets and at one meeting winnings were said to be $100,000, From the coal mines alone ehe Is sald to derive an Income of $80,000 a month., At one time she had a monopoly of the supply of good Chillan coal. To mine i and de- liver it on shipboard cost her $1.25 a ton, and she sold it at a trifle less than $7.50, at that time the cost of imported English coal The 1ist of the sources of her wealth might be continued by going Into such trifling de- tails_as banks and potteries. Her money- spending powers are only equaled by her money-making powers. She leads a golden existence. If the late M.

Pretty outing suits of blue imperial serge have Eton jackets with tabbed fronts and large bishop sleeves, Wash silks, striped checked or dotted, are used for the blou fronts, or often fine French zephyrs in plain colors of buff, yellow, pink or tan are sub- stituted Grass cloth is pushing its way to the front among summer materials. ~ Besides Its use for fronts and broad collars it also serves for waists and whole dresses. It has the advantage over some thin materials of per mitting a collar to gleam through it without showing what the material is Though a vast majority of skirts are un- trimmed, not a few of the newest creations show signs of alteration in this respec Flounces appear on many smartly made gowns brought from Rurope, and it is said that when trimmed skirts again prevail flounces will provide the leading garniture. A traveling dress of brown and tan mixed cheviot has a short, double-breasted basque and a six-yard skirt having godets at cach side. The skirt and the mutton-leg slecves are fifterlined with fibre chamols to produ the correct bouffant effect, and the chem and standing collar may be of duck or pique Haircloth is now hardly used at all for linings. Several substitutes are on the market for which wonderful qualities are claimed. They are warranted not to crease, not to split, and not to lose their stiffness Whatever their faults may be will soon b generally known, for their cheapness makes them widely employed. Among the more serviceable of the summer costumes are those of silver-colored mohair the full, but absolutely plain. The short skirted coats are rounded in fr At the back a very frilly appearance is given by means of flutes of the mohair well stiffencd, and corresponding to those which give fullness to the skirt Feavy white linen duck sults that cost quite as much as a silk costume are made with gored skirt showing inserted points on the lower portion of each seam, made of rich linen lace.

They swing from a fine gold or silver chain which is worn about the neck. The lockets are made to hold two plctures. The Trilby lockets are made in gold and silver, and many of them are incrusted with gems. The new *Dresden challis” are of Freich manufacture, and they show many of the beautiful designs popular in Dresden ribbons and silks, and the small patterned Chine sa- tins of last winter. These fabrics arc as deli cate and sheer as veiling, and they make summer-like and dainty gowns, which, though dellcate in pattern and coloring, may be worn on cool days and evenings during the entire season. A delicate fawn-colored mohair is made up with a fawn and rose chameleon silk, with glints of gold and silver variously showing on the lustrous surface as different lights fall upon it. The skirt is also lined with the silk. The pretty silk corsage has a pointed yoke and falling shoulder frills of guipere lace, the lace insertion yoke made over plan rose silk. The sleeves have a large Queen Anne puff to the elbows, with lace ruffies as a finish. Figured duck is made up with a bagging front to the podice of plain duck, a panel down the front of the skirt being of white duck to match. Black lawn, accordeon pleated and worn with a little white duck Jacket that spreads widely open in front to $how the loose blouse of the lawn, makes stunning gown. It should be worh with an all black and cloud-like plcture hat, or with a very trig rough straw in black bound close with a roll of white duck for a band. Green and white is a combination of which one sees much, a notable example being a green and white organdie with a floral stripe of pink roses and green leaves. This is made as a very modern princess dress, with the large sleeves set on below the shoulders. The skirt has a plain hem, but the back of the hodice is finished with frill of broad lace, which forms a basque, while a wide cape- like fichu is draped full across the shoulders. The hat is a large leghorn, garlanded with green leaves. Upon some of the handsome dancing toilets of the season, the most artistic and beautiful effects are produced in the combining of weblike laces and velvet ribbons in olive green, violet, old rose, golden brown, claret, and black. Dainty ecru laces #nd insertions combined with rose-colored velvet ribbons form a rich and most becoming mixture Pink lisse ruffles embroidered with green and gold, jaboted, and made up with wine-colored velyef, are another. Cream-yellow chiffon scalloped on the edges with deeper yellow silk floss and made up with green or ruby velvet loops and ends is a Spanish fancy. b ni Notes. Mme.
