tions his life out among - his pockets, ac¬ 
cording - to a regular system. They also 
make him methodical. All through his 
life, change goes in this direction, rub¬ 
ber bands in that, business cards in 
the other, in one regular, undeviating 
order. If he wants his letters, there is 
the immemorial spot, or his watch, his 
hands move automatically as the hands 
of a chronometer. And from youth, 
through courtship, through the honey¬ 
moon, yes, until death do us part, there 
is the nook consecrated to a certain 
photograph case—the pocket nearest the 
heart. Now, women can't do that. A 
man’s pockets make him self-sufficient 
He is always a little universe, and in his 
overcoat he is a big one. Give women 
the pocket. 
FOR THE GIRLS. 
T HE following anecdote is from Har¬ 
per’s Bazar, and is a very good 
illustration of the straws showing which 
way the wind blows : “We were stop¬ 
ping at a shop door,” said a lady of some 
distinction and knowledge of life, “and 
while one of us went inside, I sat in the 
carriage and was tormented by a tiny 
kitten, a lean little unlovely creature 
that insisted upon amusing itself by 
going in and out between the spokes of 
the wheels, so that a sudden motion of 
the horse would have crushed it. I asked 
a person passing to take the little thing 
away, but he did not hear me ; then I 
spoke to a young girl goihg by, but she 
only looked silly and giggled, and went 
on without doing anything. If I had 
taken the whip to the cat it would have 
started the horse, and he might have 
made some destructive movement had I 
tried to leave my seat. I was very un¬ 
easy, when a young man came along, 
and, without seeing me, stooped and 
6467-LADIES’ WAIST 
lifted the little clinging, scratching 
thing, smoothed its fur a moment called 
it ‘ poor puss,’ and ‘ pretty kitty,’ and 
left it inside the shop and went his way. 
4 Well,’ I said to myself, 4 there goes a 
man who will certainly make some one 
a good husband. One is not so kind to a 
miserable little unattractive kitten in 
order to be unkind to anything else. 
That man will neither browbeat, abuse, 
insult, nor tyrannize over any member 
of his family. He will be indulgent and 
thoughtful and foreseeing, and the prob¬ 
ability is that he will be generous, too ; 
at any rate, wherever he is, there will 
be gentleness and affection. If I were a 
girl, I would certainly try my various 
lovers with a spindling little kitten or 
mangy puppy in difficulties ! ’ ” 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
Legislation Can’t Make Spheres.—I 
deny to man the throne intellectual ; 1 
deny to woman the throne aifectional, 
says Dr. Talmage. No human phraseology 
will ever define the spheres, where there 
is an intuition by which we know when 
a man is in his realm, and when a woman 
is in her realm, and when either of them 
is out of it. No bungling legislature 
ought to attempt to make a definition, 
or to say, 4 * This is the line and that is 
MOTHERS .—Be sure to use “Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
the line.” My theory is that if a woman f 
wants to vote, she ought to vote, and j 
that if a man wants to embroider and 7 
keep house, he ought to be allowed to 1 
embroider and keep house. There are ^ 
masculine women and there are effemi- r 
nate men. My theory is that you have ' 
no right to interfere with any one’s doing 
anything that is righteous. Albany and * 
Washington might as well decree by 
legislation how high a brown thrasher 
should fly, or how deep a trout should 
plunge, as to try to seek out the height 
and depth of woman’s duty. The ques¬ 
tion of capacity will settle finally the 
whole question, the whole subject. When 
a woman is prepared to preach, she will 
preach, and neither conference nor pres¬ 
bytery can hinder her. When a woman 
is prepared to move in highest commer¬ 
cial spheres, she will have great influ¬ 
ence on the exchange, and no boards of 
trade can hinder her. I want woman to 
understand that heart and brain can 
overfly any barrier that politicians may 
set up, and that nothing can keep her 
back or keep her down but the question 
of incapacity. 
The New Red Woman. — The papers 
contain the following account of a West¬ 
ern woman, who did not wait for the 
ballot to obtain her 44 rights ” : 
Kaniadia, a Kickapoo squaw, took a shotgun 
and “ stood oft ” the contractor of the Choctaw 
Railway in Oklahoma and all his men, and would 
not allow them to build a foot of track on her 
allotment until a bond of $2,000 was put up as a 
guarantee for damages. The company refused a 
day or two ago to arbitrate with her, and when 
the men arrived on the ground she met them with 
her shotgun. 
Until the other side presents arguments 
to offset these statements, we say, 
44 Hurrah for Kaniadia!” The “old” 
squaw would have submitted without a 
murmur ; the 44 new ” one stands by her 
guns and obtains her rights. 
A Woman’s Greatest Happiness.— 
Mrs. Grover Cleveland’s opinion is that 
it must depend largely upon each indi¬ 
vidual woman. She who is a great artist 
wedded to her art, will find her happiest 
time in the achievement of some great 
artistic triumph. She who aspires to 
reign as a society queen, will find her 
happiest time when she is generally 
recognized as having made some notable 
social success. She to whose character 
religious enthusiasm is the keynote, 
will find her happiest moment in devot¬ 
ing her time to church work, while the 
woman given up to domesticity will find 
hers in the duties and pleasures of home. 
Thus the happiest time in each woman’s 
life must depend upon her personal traits 
and characteristics.

tions for cutting the garment and put¬ 
ting together. 
6467 . Ladies’ Waist. 
The full fronts are gathered and ar¬ 
ranged on the linings at yoke depth, 
being drawn into a narrow space at the 
waist line. The stylish yoke, with ex¬ 
tended French front, is of batiste, em¬ 
broidered to form rows of insertion. 
This portion is included in the right 
shoulder seam and arm’s eye, and hooks 
over on the left shoulder and down the 
edge of the left front. The back fits 
smoothly across the shoulders, the in¬ 
sertion forming the pretty pointed yoke 
portion, the fullness being drawn in at 
the waist line in Spencer style. Full 
sleeves droop in pretty wrinkles over 
comfortable linings that fit closely be¬ 
low the elbows to the wrists. Rosettes 
of ribbon are placed on back and front 
with straps across the shoulders, the 
crush collar and belt also being of ribbon 
with rosettes at the waist as plainly de¬ 
lineated. A narrow frilling of lace or 
embroidery edges the yoke and front 
plastron. Pattern 6467 is cut in five 
sizes, viz.: 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 inches, 
bust measure. 
CRUMBS FROM DIFFERENT TABLES. 
Not like to like, but like in difference; 
Yet, in the long years, liker they must grow; 
The man be more of woman, she of man * * * 
Till, at the last she set herself to man 
Like perfect music unto noble words * * * * 
Two heads in council, two beside the hearth; 
Two in the tangled business of the world; 
Two plummets drop’t, for one, to sound the abyss 
Of science, and the secrets of the mind. 
— Tennyson. 
... .New York Recorder : “ If the occu¬ 
pation changes the individual, then we 
have new women, and also new men, for 
men are engaged in scores of occupations 
that were unknown 20 years ago.” 
... .New York Sun : 44 Women are now 
about the same as they have always been. 
They still continue to be mothers of the 
race, and in spite of the mugwump re¬ 
ports to the contrary, the early impres¬ 
sions of goodness derived from them are 
yet prevalent.” 
.... Harper’s Bazar : 44 The bicycle 
levels all social distinction ; the fine lady 
quits her carriage and her footmen, and 
leaves them staring after her while she 
propels herself; and, on the other hand, 
the bicycle effects a practical lowering 
of rent to the journeyman mechanic, be¬ 
cause it enables him to live farther from 
his daily work. It is an essential chap¬ 
ter in the emancipation of women ; en¬ 
larges her horizon, and abbreviates her 
garments.” 
... .Chicago Review : 44 Men and women 
don’t need to swing clubs to murder 
home concord. The husband, armed with 
a sneer, and the wife who carries a wasp¬ 
ish tongue, are just as well caparisoned 
for battle as though they pounded each 
other with baseball bats. Sarcasm and 
nagging are to the atmosphere of love 
what sand flies and fleas are to the en¬ 
joyment of summer weather. Who would 
not prefer a brush with a roaring .June 
bug to the everlasting torment of a flea 
you can’t catch ? ”
