Lily’s beau, as Mrs. Gethunk knew, was a ragtimey-looking young yellow indi- vidual who drove a doctor’s buggy, and who arrayed himself like a cake walker during his leisure hours. Well, get him to take you to the White lot concert, then,” suggested | Mrs. Gethunk, and Lily hustled out to nail the young colored’ person to the appointment. That afternoon Mrs. Gethunk helped to tog Lily out. She even fixed the flowing green veil around Lily's hat, for she knew that Mrs. Howsad was addicted to the green veil habit, and would wear hers to the concert. It went through magnificently, and just as Mrs. Gethunk had arranged it. Mrs. Gethunk, very neatly clad, was on the White lot, with her husband, waiting for Mrs. Howsad to see the dusky Lily in a makeup identical with her own. She saw the meeting between the two.

In the British steel pen-making trade there are over 3,000 women employed, nearly ten times the number of men who work in this industry. The office of postmaster in Hobart, Ind., has been held for four years by Miss Jennie Spray. Recently, when some politicians put up a male candi- date to replace her, the town rose in protest and a large delegation secured Miss Spray’s reappointment. As a modeler of children’s portrait statuettes Mrs. Sarah Greene Wright has earned an enviable reputation. Mrs. Wright received her first imspira- tion while watching some children who were playing in the Luxembourg gar- dens. She has a studio in New York city and has the distinction of being the only woman who makes children’s portrait statuettes from life. Miss Henrietta Aiken Kelly, of | Charleston, has gone into silk culture twins. Everybody saw it, and of course everybody grinned over it and ehuck- led over it. As soon as Mrs. Howsad came full tilt into the grinning Lily she flushed many tints of searlet, and raced off the lawn for a car. She hasn't worn her pique model dress ce, but Lily is more than reveling in here. i asc * at her South Carolina home. She has studied silkworms for years at various places in Europe, especially on the estate of the duc de Litta Visconti- Arese at Milan, Italy, where silk cul- ture has been carried on for about 600 years. Her project has attracted the attention of the national department of agriculture, for which Miss Kelly ; will prepare a manual for public distri- bution.
